How Democrats get kajorities.

A case has just been tried in Jackson
vile, Fla, which shows clearly the
shamelessness of the democratic party
in that State. The second district has
been represented by Hon. Horstio Bis.

candidate for reelection last fall. His
opponent, on the democratic side, was
Noble A. Hull, who now holds the seat
in Congress. Mr.. Bisbee believed he
was rightfully elected and has succeeded
in clearly proving this fact and ferreting
polls and in the subsequent counting of
the votes, on several OF The friends of
Hull, who are now serving out The terms
of their sentence in the jails or peniten-
tiary OF the State. The latest convic-
tons are reported in the Jacksonville
Sun aud Press which says:
This case is one charged to have occur
red at the Long Swamp precinct, 10 Marion
county, on the 5th of November last The
offence charged was in taking cut of the
bsllot-box some hundred votes. more or
less. of one Kind and putting therein as
many more OF anothe. kind. That is, that
Gibson and Gale, who were in charge OF
the ballot-box during the adjournment for
dinner. took from the box more or less
votes for Mr.. Bisbee, the Republican cam
didste for congressman from this district,
and put in as many of another kind, to-wit
for Noble A. Hull, the opposing candidate.
The evidence was quite strong. and sufic-
lent In amount
The prisoners were ably defended but
the evidence WA SO overwhelming that
the jury returned verdict of guilty
after having been out less than an hour.
Aud vet this man Hull has been given
his seat in Congress and will no doubt
be retained in it by his democratic breth-
rem. He. together with several Others
who were never elected but have been
given seats by their party, help to make
up the majorities which the democrats
now have In the House and Senate oil
the United States. The South must be
KEEP. "solid- and the majority must be
maintained.

The fact that 10 revenue ONCE rs have
been murdered and "a more wounded by
vioistors Of the revenue laws in the South
ern States, as shown by the report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. does
not attest very strongly to the love Of law
and order 10 that section. And when we
take into account the additional fact that
the attempts made by the Government to
punish the murderers have, Is q rule. been
successfully frustrated BY their sympathiz-
ers, it does not seem probable that the
number will be greatly diminished in the
future.
Any attempt to enforce the laws Of the
Nation is regarded as an usurpation Of the
rights OF citizens which justides taking the
life Of the Government officer who may
make it. They don't propose to be inter-
fsred with in their assumed right to do -
they please.
