Southern Election Outrages.

Senator Blaine made great speech in the Senate on Wednesday last, on the Southern elections. He maintained that the present Democratic majority in the House, and their majorities in both branches of the next Con- gress, have been obtained by deliberate SUD- fraud to which the North would never sub- init. He dwelt with great force upon tie fact that the Southern representation in the House had been largely increased by emancipation ]; while, by force and fraud, the former master had managed to get possession of the very votes that had been given to the former slave. To this Mir. Lamar replied that the former slave voted with his former master from ferred to the over-representation of New En- gland in the Senate. MT. Thurman took the ground that the present supremacy of white over black at the South was the natural su- premacy of property and intelligence over pov- erty and ignorance.
 MT. Blaine criticised Thurman's concession of leadership to property and intelligence, as undemocratic, while Edmunds retorted on Lamar that the large Senatorial representation of New England was at least legal and consti, tutional, while the Democratic monopoly of power at the South was illegal and nnconsti- tutional.
 We shall wait with much interest for the result of the investigation the Senate will un- doubtedly order. Mr. Blaine's assumption that every Southern negro is Republican is not altogether true. But it is probably nearer the truth than the Democratic assumption that they voluntarily vote the Democratic ticket in large numbers. In the meantime there have been few trials of South Carolina Democrats in the federal courts resulting in acquittals, or in failure to convict. In Louisiana, Gov Nichols seems really desirous of punishing peo- pie concerned in election outrages. Our Northern Republican papers teem with reports of frauds and outrages from various parts of the South, and politics seem to be falling back more than ever ints the rut of sectionalism.

Vermont has its rotten borough system, it appears. as well as Connecticut There each town sends a representative to the lower House, without any reference to population. Somerset and Baltimore, two towns number ing 80 and 83 souls send two representatives, while Burlington and Rutland, with over 24,- 900 population, have no more. This beats the awful disparity between Union and New Haven in regard to population and representation

The Canadian fisheries at ''award" rates are altogether too expensive for these economical times. Should the new experiment succeed perhaps we may obtain our supply from our own waters.
