THE ELECTION.

We presume more quiet election never oc-
CURED in York county than was that of Tues.
day last, to fill the vacancy in the legislative
delegation from this county, caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Green. The absence OF
public interest in the election was owing to
the fact that there was no opposing candi.
dates, and not from any dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Deal, the choice of the Convention. So
far as we have heard, the nomination gave
general satisfaction. Only 156 votes were
cast at Yorkville, and we presume the voting
was similarly light at all the precincts of the
county.

- The Cincinnati Commercial gives the
following as the true method of telling fish
story: "a small boy, the only child of rich
but respectable parents, fell into the Zoologi-
cal Lake He could not swim. Neither
could any of his parents. Nor could his sis
ters or his cousins or his aunts, because he
didn't have any. A humane catfish, which
was dining on the other side of the lake, saw
his peril. 1t pushed its chair back from the
table and swan to the body. 1t seized his
coat collar in his mouth and held his head
above the water, and padded bravely to the
shore and delivered its burden into the hands
of the afflicted parents. The lake is still
there as witness to the truth of the story,
and may be seen for the pitiful sum Of twenty
FIVE cents"

Adventist, who killed his little girl in fit of

try, and from England, have been received
by the jailer and the officers of the county,
making inquiries in regard to his manner of
living and his present religious belief. Scores
of lawyers from all of the great cities have
offered to conduct his defence without pen
ny of cost. Both Freeman and his wife have,

WHITWORTH FEMALE COLLEGE

Nothing speaks better for an institution

and veneration which its Alumnae cherish
in their hearts after they have gone out
from its friendly walls. AS Judge Harris

The New Orleans Times has fred shot
'at dogs. And delegate Carey proposes
|levying tax of 81 on every dog in Louisi-
ana, not including, however, the dogs that
stand on their feet. The Times says: "If
dogs are anywhere near as numerous in the
country as they are in the city, a very re-
|spectable revenue could be derived from a
lax of 81 on each dog. The tax might
bear rather hard on some heads of families
who own dozen or two worthless ours. but
they could readily avoid the tax by getting
clear of the dogs. Here in the city, dog
tax would prove blessing. There ale SO
many of these animals running about the
streets that they have become an intolerable
nuisance. Every once in while some one
~ bitten and dies in the agonies Of hydro
pnobia- They annoy people in the streets
u'fing the day, and annoy them at night
Oy their hideous bowling. They ought to
DE taxed, and that too, out of existence. if
possible" And We say amen to the phil
npfie against dogs. They are en- unmix-
ed nuisance.

appointment or I'll turn against your patr.
and tumble it all to pieces" The Gov
ernor has a dash of old Spartan firm
ness in him, and he is given to stubborn
ness when he is in the right. If man
says or intimates thing like that to him,
he would not get scared to death, but
simply go ahead and appoint another fell
low whose party fealty needed no bolster
ing up.
But lot us suppose that the Independent
does not properly represent Col. Harris,
and that if he had secured the coveted
Judgeship he would have abandoned the
party all the same, because his convictions
led him out. Under that supposition, surely
no one can be fouud to censure the Gov
ernor for saving the party from such
detection in its household. Whichever
horn of the dilemma the friends of Col.
Harris or the enemies of Gov. Stone may
take, the conclusion is palpable.
Let us contrast the course of Col Harris,
hLiu oilO ehuoO Vi ~ WllCl buO LuuOpCHuCub
alleges, with that of General Featherston
and General Lowry. Both these latter gen.
tlemen threw themselves into the deadly
breach of the canvass of 1876. General
Featherston was the Bleucher who led the
Legislative charge upon the Radical strong
hold that routed Ames and his entire crew.
General Lowry was the Chevalier Bayard
who took the field and stoutly contested
every point, and met and vanquished the
enemy on hundred battle grounds in the |
State. Both these worthy gentlemen were
candidates for Governor, and either of them
abundantly deserved to be Governor. The
party on all occasions acknowledged their
services, the value of which as compared
with those rendered by Col. Harris, stand
as a mountain by the side of an ant hill
But they were both defeated. Did they or
either of them fall out with the party and
undertake to destroy it because it had with
in its ranks son more favored? Both
took the field in behalf of their
successful competitor, and both have stood
irmly by the party eyer since. They de-
erue no especial credit for this: they have
,nly given the State another evidence of
PERSONAL worth and fidelity to principle.
Assuming that the Indeper dent has cor>
ectly bestrayed the sentiments of Colonel 1
Harris, we think there is very good chance
or the party to survive the loss of him.
