believe it demands greater vigor, both
In the enactment and in the execution of
the laws framed for that purpose.
Any opposition, any partisan partiality
which experience may have shown in the
work of existing laws will engage the
careful attention both Of Congress and of
the executive in their respective spheres
of duty, for the corrections of the mis-
chiefes. AS no Congressional elections
occur until after the regular session of
Congress will have been held, there seems
to be no public exigency that would pre-
clude reasonable consideration at that
session Of any administrative details that
might improve the present modes de-
signed for the protection OF all citizens
In the complete and equal exercise of the
right and power of suffrage at such cleo
tons.
But, with my views both Of the consti-
nationality and value of the existing laws,
cannot approve any measure for this
repeal except in connection with the en-
actment of other legislation which may
necessarily be expected to afford wiser
and more efficient safeguards for free and
honest Congressional elections.

A terrible murder with robbery has
A soldier just returned from the theater
of war had gone to the village of Karn-
auchowka. While there he was asked to
be godfather to child about to be bap-
tized. The pope who performed the rite
was venerable man of about sixty years
of age, and the soldier was so impressed
with his devotional demeanor that at the.
conclusion of the ceremony he presented
him with gold piece as an honorarium.
The unusual value of the GIFT attracted
the attention of the priest. He asked the
soldier whether he had many similar
pieces. The latter answered without re-
serve that he had been able to save his
pay and had been otherwise fortunate and
that he had turned all into gold, which
ne carried about him. The cupidity of
the priest was aroused. The better to Sc
cure his object he took his deacon into
confidence, and they resolved to watch an
opportunity to rob the soldier. A few
days later this latter set out on his journey
homewards. He had to pass through
thick wood. This the conspirators learned
beforehand. They lay in wait for him,
attacked him, felled him to the earth and
literally gnawed his throat in the absence
OF weapons sufficiently homicidal. Hav-
ing robbed him they left him by the way
side, convinced that he was dead or dy-.
ing and could tell no tales. But some
peasants coming up shortly afterwards
found the unfortunate man still living.
They We're so prompt and skillful in their
attention that he recovered consciousness
and was able before his death to indicate
clearly who were his assassins. They are
now in the hands of the police. -
