EVERY State in the Union, says the
st. Paul Globe, has a law prescribing
the qualifications of electors and fixing
penalties for the exercise of the suf-
frage illegally. Under those laws the
State and city authorities have, for
nearly q hundred years, succeeded in
preventing, to a lsrge extent, the poll,
ing of illegal votes. No greater puri-
ty has been attained under the opera
tions of the present law than were
secured under the State laws. Then
where is the utility OF maintaining .
system that involves so large An ex-
penditure with 90 few corresponding
advantages? The present federal law
is cumbrous, useless and expensive, q
hindrance to the free exercise of the
franchise irresponsible men, an
arbitrary power over good and reputa-
BILE citizens, and is an infringement of
the constitutional right of the several
States to conduct the elections. 1t
ought to be abolished, and will be be.

shall adjourn. ,-..

The great efforts to make the Grant
movement " boom" are visible, with
out creating much stir. The proposed
grand excursion to California is to be
followed by the appearance of book
OF immense Importance, being no less
a work than General Grants Travels

Young. A radical sheet says, triumph
antly, "if Stewards Travels aorund the
World reached a sale of 10000 copies,
what will Grants travels reach ?" I
give it up. Last evening went to see
Carncross' Minstrels, at the National
Theatre, and heard the following from
Matt. Wheeler: "If it takes q yard
and a-half of flannel to make one shirt
how many shirts can you get from

upon how many have been left out
upon the clothes-lines." These two
conundrums deserve a place side by

IT is no more partisan legislation
for the Democrats to repeal the odious
election acts then it was for the Re-.
publicans to pass them. They were
enacted by the Republicans TO promote
the interest of their party and have
been employed solely for that atpurpose.
It is no more improper to attach q
provision for their repeal to an appro-
priation bill than it was to attach the
salary-grab to the same kind of bill,
and for that the sanity Garfield could
vote without any qualms ofconscience.
The fact is the people demand the re,
peal Of these tyrannicsI acts and are
turn to the principles and practices Of
the fathers Of the Republic, and the
Democratic Congress will be recreant
to their duty if they do not heed the
demand. -f-f

Tho Negro Hegira.

Colonel Keller, of the Memphis Av.
alanche, give the following as his
views concerning the exodus of the
colored people from the South to the
Northwest: He says the movement
began three years ago in Tennessee ;
that agents of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith 1ssifrOad Company came
into his State, who at first needed la.
Dor to. construct the road, and had a
large land grant franchise to dispose
of for homesteads. Those agents went
among the colored. people, offered
them cheap homes and remunerative
labor, and the result was that, at that
time there was q great migration of
the colored people from Tennessee to
Arkansas. He thinks the migration
now going on in Kansas is brought
about by the came agency; that it is a
move made by Railroad Companies
who have roads to construct and also
lands to dispose Of They want cheap
labor, and they have cheap lands to
sell. They have their agents In the
South, and the inducements offered are
such that the colOred people, who like
change, eagerly take advantage of the
Railroad Companies. Mr.. Keller says
too, that he thinks there is q disposi-
ton in Tennessee to exact too much
from the colored people-that is, that
they are charged too much for rent,
aud are not offered the chance to ac-
quire homesteads as cheaply as is OF.
fered them elsewhere. H, does not,
think that the move has any political
nor is il meant 10 effect
reduction of the next census in the
South. and consequently q reduction
of representation, but that it is the
railroads alone who have cheap lands
aud who induce colored immigration
mainly to get cheap labor. ,.-. -.

RevOfutiOn.

The election for Mayor and other
city officers took place in Chicago on
the first inst, and resulted in the sue
cess of the entire Democratic ticket by
from 5000 to 5000 majority, thus, for
the first time in many years, putting
the government of that city in the
hands of the Democracy.
In st. Louis the election was held on
the same day, and the Democrats sue
ceeded in electing all their candidates
for Councilmen, which gives them the
control OF the city again.
Really, it does look little like 'trev.
Oletion."

BEFoRE the late election in Chicago
the Tribune, the leading Republican
paper of that city proclaimed that the
contest was being fought solely on
national issues, but since the over
whelming Republican route it is
hunting up some other excuse.
THE Republicans elected their
State ticket in Rhode Island on the LIST
inst. by about their usual majority.
This was highly proper Rhode Island
isa model Republican State, where
foreigners are required to have prop.
erty qualification to entitle them to
vote. -t
The jury in the case of the widow
Olive against simple Simon Cameron,
returned a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant, thereby deciding that Simon
never promised to marry the widow,
but the fact still remains that the de-
crepit old man had fingered in the lap
of the buxom widow more frekent
than some would advise.
WHILE the Radical leaders are de-
nouncing the SOsth for not electing
negroes 10 Congress, the only reason
they have to offer for not electing them
IN the North where they are in power,
is that given by Mr.. Frye in the House,

Speaker Randall talked the sense OF
the Democratic heart, the other night
at Washington, when he said:
We ask but little, but the principle
involved is great. We ask that all
through the country the right of suf-
frage shall be exercised by freemen
without the Intervention of the army.
We ask that intelligence and not ig-
norance shall in future prevail in the
jury.box, and that all test oaths and
other obnoxious distinctions shall be
forever wiped out. We ask that the
control now exercised by the Federal
Government, under law which per-
mits the appointment of partisan Su.
pervisors of election, shall and must
cease, for they are only employed for
the purpose of depriving citizens of
their dearest right, the right of suf-
frage."
And that is what the Radical howl
ers denounce as revolutionary.

Lacks Tru tn and Consistency.
The New York Herald, which is
snything else than a Democratic pa!
per, has this to say of the recent speech
of Garfield, which has SO lnflamed the
Radical mind, and with which it is
proposed to food the country: ~
"We do not share the admiration
with which this speech has been greet
ed by the "Stalwart" Republicans. 1t
is merely piece of vigorous declama-
tion. Whatever truth it contained
was exaggerated even beyond the usu-
al license of declsmatory rhetoric,
while some of its most important state
ments are not true In fact, and are con-
tradicted in history. Eyen if all Mr..
Garfieldts statements had been true,
snd given without exaggeration, the
speech would have become almost any
other mouth better than his, inasmuch
as his own previous declarations and
votes on this very subject come within
the scope of his denunciations. II
facts, logic, candOr and personal con-
sistency are of any value in parlia-
meDtary elOQueBce Mr.. Garfield's
speech lacks them all. 1t is mere

the stump than to legislative assem-
bly. But the Democrats none the less
made mistake in furnishing the oc-
cssiOn for successful appeals to blind
decaying passions. A political frenzy
may die out If well let alone, but moth
ing 80 surely revives it as direct op-
position or some new form of provo
cation. A bull which might have
gone on quietly grazing till sundown
and then have lain do wn lazily to chew
his cud, will paw the earth and below
and come at you with fury If you are
fool enough to shake q red flag Ut him.

Gently appropriated $780, 900. The item
was stricken out of the bill once and
supposed to be lost, but it was restored
at the last moment by the action of a
conference committee. The money is
not available until the 1st of July, but
the certainty of its forthcoming has in
spired some preparations for commence
ing the work. The idea--:of National
Museum was proposed many years ago
by the late Professor Henry who, in,
his annual reports, continually laid be-
fore Congress the necessity for such
building. When the Centennial, Ex-
position closed, and the various foreign
governments donated to the Smithson-
ian Institute their exhibits, the want
of room in which to place them re.
vived the museum question, so that
now the erection of a building, which
shall be worthy Of the object. is only a
matter Of a very little time. The model
mentioned is the one which will doubt
less be adopted by the committee which
has the affair in charge, Gen. Sherman,
Mr.. Peter Parker and Prof. Baird,
This committee is now engaged in
making the final arrangements regard
ing the building. AS now proposed,
the museum: will be situated on the
southeast corner of the Smithsonian
grounds, and be 300 feet long by 300
