POLITICAL PERsEcUTIoN.--Mr. Wood
said yesterday in Congress that i'll the
city of New York, on the 9TH of Novem-
Der, four thousand legal voters were drag
ged TO prison by government official,
where hundreds of them were plunged
into the vilest dens as common prisoners,
and where (besides those who had been
arrested) 10000 other voters had been
mtimidatea, thus making difference OF
at least fifteen thousand votes in the city
of New York in the last election. The
President had not seen that. MIR. Will
liams, OF Michigan, said that too much
space was devoted to intimidation in the
South. He thought the President should
have referred to intimidation at the
North. In his district there were $500
employees in shops who were compelled
to vote as directed by their employers,
otherwise they would have been dis
charged.
The daily gazette., 1878-12-03

WE rather like the simplicity of the
Morning Herald as displayed in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The decline Of great journals in the
Democratic parry at the North is due to
the fact that every one abandoned the
principles of the party at the commands Of
the hobs i'll 1861, swung round from State
rights to consolidation and after encour-
aging the South TO secede, Immediately
enlisted against the very cause they had
advocated. These papers had neither
convictions of duty nor political princi-
p es, neither had they honesty or courage,
Their sins have found them out and they
are reaplng their reward.
1t is mistake 10 charge that the great
Democratic journals of the North en-
couraged the South TO secede. They
stood by the South manfully aud fought

highly erroneous 10 say that 'their sins

which has been in progress for more

Bile exception of the sanitary fair, il was

priest was voted TO be Father DoRherty
of the Holy lnnocents Church. As the

AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT relating to
the American War of Independence has
been discovered in an antiquarian book
store in Baireuth, Bavaria. 1t is the
manuscript diary Of one of the officers OF
the Hessian troops who served in the
British army, and embraces the period
from January, ITS to March, 1879. The
author kept daily record not only of
events, but also of the news and rumors
of the day. As it is private record, it
cannot fail of being interesting, and the
more so as the writer expresses his opin-
ions of men and things without reserve.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAG G e is regard

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE is regard
ed as a very moderate document. Its
chief points were 80 well shadowed forth
in several references to it by correspon-
dents from Washington during several
days past, that 1t was shorn of most of
the interest that otherwise would have
attached to it. The President urges the
enforcement of the election laws in the
South by the Courts, which is very well.
Frauds upon the elections should not be
permitted anywhere, and we are glad
that the President has recognized the
civil power of the Courts as the proper
guardians of the polls, and turned his
face against the use Of the army and the
bayonet for narrowing the people and
dragooning them into the support OF a
party. But while the Message refers to
election frauds in Louisiana and South
Carolina, it omits entirely to refer TO
election frauds in the Northern States.-
In New York, Massachusetts, Michigan
and other States, complaints are made
that men are not permitted TO vote their
sentiments-that they are ovel awed by
threats and intimidation and induced to
vote the Republican ticket in all the
great manufacturing States; and the law
officers of the U. s. Courts and the Mar
shals and the Deputy Marshals being all
Republicans, take no notice of these mat
tiers in the North while in the South a
white man dare not so much as invite a
negro to vote the Democratic ticket with
out being subjected to threats, menaces
or arrest by those political hounds. At
the same time the Republicans follow the
negroes everywhere and offer them every
inducement to vote the Republican ticket,
and are not molested for so doing. The
Message says nothing of this, but points
only to the Democrats of the South and
demands that they shall not offer such
like inducements to the negroes to vote
their ticket which the Republicans have
offered and will continue to offer. What
the consequences will be when the Demo
Gratis get the power and all the IS. Dis
trct Attorneys and Marshals and Deputy
Marshals are Democrats, the people may
expect. The L. ). Enforcement laws
ought to be repealed and the conducting OF
elections turned over to the States, a
were before the war of the rebellion
Mr.. Hayes Message is not a satisfactory
document. 1t will not sat sly the ma
jority of his own party much less the
great mass of the people of the whole
country, as it should do We're it the fair
and impartial document it should be.

The REPORT of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, backed by the Message of the
President, contains enough facts in refer
ence to the coin in the Treasury, bullion
IN the country, and the facilities the
mnts afford to coin gold and silver,
to convince any intelligent man that
specie payments might be maintained if
the Treasury were in the hands of man
IN whom the people had confidence. OF
course we assume that the figures pre-
sented by the Secretary, are true and set
forth the facts in reference to the currency
and the means we have in hand for SUD-
plying the needs thereof. In saying this
we mean also that the Secretary should
use all the means at his command to buy
bullion and keep the mints in operation.
Gold is coined free. This should not be.
The producers of gold have no more
right to have their product turned into
money at the expense of tho tax-payine
people than the producers of silver. In
time like this, the government ought tc
husband all its means. The coiners o
Europe cannot change gold into Englisl
sovereigns for nothing; nor should tn,
mlnts of this country shape it into dol
lars for nothing. The cost OF transports a
tion and insurance is sufficient TO guar
antee its sale here and the ability of th,
government to buy it and coin it OH til,
same terms that silver is now bought an,
coined. There was coined last year o
gold nearly fifty three million dollars; 0
trade dollars over eleven million, O
standard silver dollars eight and hal
millions, and of fractional silver coil
over eight millions; making in all SSI,
12O,694. This is an enormous sum. Blu
1t does not show all that the mints ar
capable OF doing. One of the strang
things is that there were so many mil
lions of the trade dollars forced througl
the mint and into the hands of the peo
pie, while Secretary Sherman held til
opinion that they are not money.

Delaware Legislation Needed.
The Collection Of the Tares too Costly.
From the Delawarean.

From the Delawarean.
Several matters of general interest
ought TO engage the attention of the Leg
islature at its next session, and 1t would
be well for the people of the State, as well
as the members of the Legislature, to
give to them some consideration in ad-
vance of the meeting of the General As
semby. One of the questions which
ought at least TO be considered in the
early part OF the session is the cost Of col
lecting taxes in this State. We aye salts
fed that a system of collection could be
devised that would be less expensive than
at the present mode. A receiver of taxes
for district composed of two or more
hundreds required to give notice or the
times and places where he would be in
each month for the purpose of receiving
and receipting Tor taxes paid, with
graduated abatement from the taxes paid
before certain times, would secure large
per cent. Of the levy placed in his hands
especially If he was required to add a
small per cent. TO the lakes of those who
neglected TO pay by the time specified.
On the amount so collected small per
cent. would amply pay the person ap-
poihted receiver. Certificates for work
done OH the public roads should be receiv-
dd in payment of taxes ~ cash and the
amount deducted from the appropriation
to the road on which the work was done
so that no inconveniece would be expert
ence by those who desired to work out
their taxes on the roads. In case of de-
fault on part of any TO pay their lakes
wi hin G ven time our present laws re-
lating to notice by collectors could be ap-
pied and the par les returned delinquent
after due no ice given and failure to pay,
unless they had properly out Of which
the tax could could be paid. At any
rate some plan should be devised which
would be less costly. We believe COL
lection OF taxes could be simplified and
rendered efficient at not exceeding half
the cost, and we have called attention 10
the matter in the hope that the Legisla-
ture and those who interest tbemse yes
in legislation will give the subject prop
