never before in the history of that city were
the votes so many repeaters cast and
counted, and yet the arrests made were
few, and the convictions-well, there
we're none. The deputy marshals ap-
pointed under the supervisors of elections law
we're for tn most part ward bummers. with
no visible meane of support. They did the
bidding of their masters faithfully, arrested
peaceable citizens and legal voters indis-
criminately in order to intimidate others,
but seldom if ever pitched upon the right
mamie who attempted to vote illegally.
An enormous expense was incurred, and NO
advantage whatever gained.
Every State in the Union has law pre-
scribing 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 hun
dred years, succeeded in preventing, to q
large extent, the polling of illegal votes. Nc
greater purity has been attained under the
operations of the present law than was Sc.
cured under the State laws. Then where is
the utility of maintaining system that in
wolves so large an expenditure with SO few
corresponding advantages? The present
federal law is cumbrous, useless and expen-
sive, hindrance to the free exercise of the
franchise, -gives irresponsible men an arbi
trary power over good and reputable citi
zens, and is an Infringement of the consti
tutional right of the several States to con
duct the elections. It ought to be abolished
and will be before the present session o.
Congress shall adjourn.

SENATOR GROVER, of Oregon, has intro
duced a bill extending the time for the COM
pletion of the Northern Pacific railroad that
ought to pass both houses without question.
The bill does not contemplate the grant of
any additional subsidy to that already pos
sessed by the company, but is an act of
simple justice. Owing to the depression OF
trade caused by the panic of 1873 the COM
pany was unable to complete the road in the
time allowed by the original charter. The
proposal now is to allow it the benefit OF
that time, when railroad construction was an
impossibility. The bill ought to pass, and
that right speedily.

SECRETARY SHERMAN refuses absolutely to
pay any of the claims of soldiers under the
law of the last Congress authorizing the pay
ment of arrearages Of pensions. He holds
that there is no money in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated, and yet, according
to the financial statement of the treasury
there is cash balance on hand of over four
hundred millions of dollars. If Mr.. Sher-
man wishes to obstruct the execution of a
proper law, passed in proper manner, we
have no objection, but he and his party
must bear the responsibility, and not en-
deavor to shirk it upon the Democracy, who
have already literally provided for the pay
ment of these claims.

WHEN that redoubtable warrior, James G.
Blaine, was "grafted into the army he hired
substitute, and in order to pay him denied
his wife piano that he had promised her
long previously. His valor in these post
6ell1m days can, therefore, be fully appre-
ciated. His substitute fought we'll, and af-
forwards rose to a lieutenantoy, and Blaine has
ever since been laboring under the delusion
that it was he who achieved such valorous

deny his wife piano has led to the supposi-
ton that he made great sacrifices on behalf

THE USE OF DEPUTY MARSHALS At
ELECTIONS.

ELEC xlONS.
The Philadelphia Times publishes a full
list of the federal deputy marshals appointed
in that city for the Congressional election of
1873. The list embraces the names of 773
men, and they each received ten dollars for
two days services. The cost was, therefore,
$7,73O. For such an expenditure it might
reasonably be supposed there would be some
compensation, yet what do we find? These
marshals made few arrests-thirty-si six in
all. Upon examination all but two of these
we're discharged from custody as being guilt
less of any attempt to exercise the franchise
illegally. One of those who were held and
convicted was colored man, and the other q
white man, who we're each sentenced tc four
months imprisonment.
While we are firmly of the belief that no
guilty man should escape punishment, we
are unable to see in what respect the horde
of deputy marshals contributed in any re-
spect to preserving the purity of the ballot
box. If they had not been present at the
polls there would have been, probably, as
many arrests made by the local authorities
and very probably more convictions. The
tendency of appointing these officials has
been to cause the local police to relax thei,
vigilance, and, as consequence, more illegal
votes have been cast wherever they have been
on duty than could possibly have been cast
if the conduct of the elections had been left
to the local officers. The arrests made were
for the most part dictated by partisan OF
personal spite on evidence insufficient to
convict. The experiment. in Cincinnati re-
suited in the same way. 1t is notorious that

gave such little books as savings banks fur

Then upon that basis he wonld erect a new
