Elections sfarshnis.

The Congressional investigation into
the election in one of the Cincinnati
districts has brought out very clearly the
partisan use which is made Of the "depu-
ty marshals for elections purposes )"
and will increase the regret of wise men
of both parties that the Elections Mar
shals law singularly liable to abuse, and
the testimony taken in Cincinnati shows
that it was shamelessly abused by the
republicans there. The ElectiJ ms Mar
shals were used not TO keep the peace
at the polls, but to electioneer for the re-
publican candidates, and by various and
devious means incre ase their vote. 1t
was shown, moreover, that the provision
that thes political marshals shall be ap-
pointed in every case from the voters Of
tue precinct where they are to serve was
violated and the partisan electioneering
agents with marshals badges, paid by
the public treasury to perform a public
service, bat in fact working for their own
| and sent to electioneer at democratic
polls.
What sort Of men are selected by a
partisan marshal for such electioneering
work at the public expense was shown
in the Philadelphia investigation. 1t
proved there that the republican mar
shal not only Sc .ected INSCRIPTIONS and
notorious partisans, who spent their time
as deputy marshals in electioneering,
but several Of them were drunk on cleo
tiun day; one was detected in voting
twice; one was a Jail bird who served
two terms, once for highway robbery
and once for shooting colored boy ; an
other had be.n under arrest for five diff
ferent robberies another notoriousl,
dangerous character, had been tried TO
1 murder; another, colored man, wa
: the keeper of gambling house yet all
other was the keeper of low drinking
e house; another had been repeatedly il
!, the House of Correction for drunken
!. ness; another, again colored man, wa
!, u the keeper of house of i'll fame, and 5
n the list goes on. All were republca
y politicians.
II Senator Bayard was undoubtedly wis
: when he urged the republicans to hel
e to repeal the Elections Marshals Law
'f and held that no party ought to be trus
u ed with such power when in posessio
q of the government, and that the Repu1
licans would some day keenly regr
r their opposition to the repeal, becau
: the law was necessarily corTupting
them and would be to the democrats
,e if they should ever get power. In +
r sisting the repeal at the extra session Il
,r republicans put themselves in the wrol
10 before the country, for they cannot d
fend such scandals as the investigatio
se are uncovering. The country may col
if gratu ate itself that the democrats ha
~ so abso lutely committed themselves
". the repeal of the Marshals law. Sor
he day they may have to be held for the
,s present utterances.-N. Y. Herald.

IT DOES NOT grieve us bit to see the
Repub.ican's denunciation of the mob
fights of the Democrats in Yazoo county,
Mississippi. They deserve TO be held
up 10 public indignation for quarrelling
among themselves about the ONCE Of
Sheriff. The trouble grows out Of the
fact that the negroes had become dis
gusted with the Republicans and all
joined the Democratic party, and thus
hoped to divide 1t into two parts. By q
proper spirit of compromise all this
trouble might have been prevented.
But the same trouble exists in, New
York among the Democrats and the
Republicans are more annoyed with it
In Maine and Massachusetts than the
Democrats are in Mississippi. All this
is easily up derstood to grow out Of the
inordinate love for office. u iH.1
But the tyranny that has existed for q
half century in Rhode Island, and been
cultivated and kept up by the Repuoli-
can party ever nee its existence Is an
abomination to every man who loves
freedom better than party. Yet this
thing is apologized for and excused by
all the Republicans In Delaware aud es-
pecially is it delighted in by the Black
Republicans in Wilmington. Such rs
still hold 10 the .'Know Nothing" views
they espoused few years ago. Indeed,
the Republican Of this city, which was
the organ Of the Know Nothing secret
oath-bound party, has never yet disavow-
ed Its connection with that party, and
we have no doubt would to-day, If 1t
could therebygain political ascendancy in
Wilmington, advocate just such laws as
the Republican party in Rhode Island
has kept in existence so many years by
which all poor men who hold no proper
ty are excluded from voting. There,
however, the Republicans are enabled
to cheat largely by tie transfer Of deeds
for election purposes, they holding all
the election officers. 40 -' - a

THE REPUBLICANS only polled $50
votes in the whole city on Saturday. 1t
is hardly likely that this number Of
voters can elect anybody. Very few
negroes participated in the ele"tion on
Saturday, and it is therefore presumed
that they will not vote in September.
There is every probability tha, the Demo
Gratis will elect their whole city ticket II
it is a good one, Notwithstanding the
popularity of the Republican nominees

surer. The people are always inclined

WHAT IT MEANs.-The Republican
does not say so in just so many words,
but Il mean. to say to its readers "don't
vote the Democratic ticket in Whining
ton. because the Democrats in fazoo
com ty, Mississippi, got into great row
and were about to kill one another"
This is terrible thing, to be sure; but
We can't see why the Democrats Of Will
niogton must not be allowed to reduce
the expenses of the city, notwithstand-
ing; and the experience of fifteen or
twenty years has proved that the Repub-
Hcans only increase them.
