Is, this a fair or safe state of things2
Mr.. Hayes says he is opposed to the use
of the army at the polls, but he brings
ont no plan to carry out his avowed
views. He simply Cayils at the bills ol
Congress, His veto makes the issue oi
the next Presidential canvass. 1t unites
the Democratic party upon agrave ques'
ton. There is a deep feeling on this
subject in the North rs we'll as the South.
Repeated attempts have been made to
overawe the voters of New York. The
first time was in 1854. The.Republicans
cry out against the ways of Gen. Butler
in Massachusetts; but they thought he
was the man to put at the head OF the
army over the elections in New York. l
issued an order to sherifS and the police
that no soldiers should be allowed to
show themselves at single poll, and
that against any interference they should
put forth the full force of the law, and
call out the power of the districts. The
election passed off quietly, as no sold.
iers showed themselves at the place Of
voting. The adUOcdteS of military interter.

are the men Uf whom it has been well
said, that they are full Of fight now be.
cause they did not fight when they had
a chance. The Senator who trst called
for blood letting in 1851 was the first to
run away from the blood when blood was
flowing. He now grows fierce again. l
do not think it is true, as has been char
ged, that he broke the lines of our re-.
treat, but it is certain that his anxiety to
save his own blood did not encourage
our soldiers in the 6ght. l do not think
the country will follow the lead of those
who stir up strife which others are to
fight out, may be, at the cost of their
lives. The Democrats will feel as one
man on the new issue. They see that it
means that fraud is to be upheld at the
polls. ..--.
Cor.-Do you not think that this ques.
tion should be put before the President
and the people upon it's meritsP
Gov.-I think it will be wise to pass a
bill that would put this question to the
President distinctly on its merits, 50 that
there would be no room for the pretext
that other things than it's merits were to
be considered, If it is true, as the PIT
ident says, that he does not wish to have
the military interfere, let him frame a
bill that will reach that end.
The Governor seems fully impressed
with the belief that the subject of mill
tary interference at elections will be the
real issue upon which the next Presiden-
tial canvass will be fought.

STARVATION EN EGXPT.


Accustomed as l have been for years
to see various forms Of misery and op.
preston among the down trodden Fella'
heen, have never witnessed such sights
of hopeless wretchedness as beheld
this year. Scarcely ever did l and my
companions approach village but the
thrilling "keen" of the women betoken-
ed recent death, and these deaths were
always, AsoTibed to starvation. In one
town, How, near one of the largest Xiii

bat the return judges altered the returns
so as to bring Geary out 4400 ahead In
the city, while Packers honest majority
was fully as great. The Judge at one
time did propose to contest the election,
and was urged to do so by Republicans
as we'll as Democrats, and ample proofs
were in readiness Of the villainy, but he
had no taste for a contested election or
an Office that would come to him, not

he let it go, but the gang that counted

ASA PACKER.

Judge Asa Packer died at his residence
in Philadelphia, on Saturday, aged 49,
OF New England parentage,he settled in
this State in early life, and in time be.
came leader of that class of business
men, of high abilities, who have done so
much to develop the material wealth of
that State. His foresight and appreCia-
ton of the future possibilities of the
iron and coal trade was remarkable. He
used his great wealth largely to benefit
his kind, and one OF the noblest eduCa.
tional institutions in the State owes its
existence to his muDi6cenCe. Judge
Packer was ALWAYS an earnest and con-
sistent Democrat. He was elected to
Congress twice, was the choice of the
State for President in 1868, and in 1869
was elected Governor of the Common
wealth by majority of five or six thou
sand, but counted out by the Philadelphia
gang. The total vote of the year was
575 O00 and the official canvass declared
Geary elected by 1896 majority. Judge
Packer had a maj prity in Philadelphia,

WOMAN AGAIN.


The Horrible BuTmah MAssacres Owing to Her.
1t appears that feminine intrigue is at
the root of the dreadful doings in Bur.
nah of late. The late King named as his
successor Nyoung Van; but the daughter
of the chief Queen was engaged to be
married to Theebau, now only about 81,
and the Q1een, resolving that her son.
in.law should succeed, bought over the
Ministers. The Kings deaf was, through
her means, kept secret until strong fol.
lowing had been secured to Theebau,
who, soon after he assembled the throne
This brothers and their families were
thrown into PRISON., took to drinking
and showed signs of hereditary madness.
Fear of British interference prevented
his killing his brothers, but as soon as
news arrived of the reverses in Zulu he
thought his opportunity for fratriCide on
a large scale had come, and went to
work. At first the massacre was on the
old Burmese plan, head tied to ankles
and heavy blow on the back; but when
Thongzai was brought to do reverence to
the King, his younger brother, and pro.
fessed an utter scorn for what could be
done to him, he was promptly flogged to
death. Moury Oek, formerly Governor
of Rangoon, had his nose and mouth
filed with gunpowder, light was ap-
piled, and then he was flung into a
trench to be stifled by the bodies Of the
succeeding victims. The daughter, aged
sixteen, of Nyoung Yam lwho ought to
have been King) was handed over to the
guard, to be subsequently pitched insen.
sible into the trench with the others
A 'lout ninety were killed altogether.
