table religious revival is said to have
been in progress near MaXville, this
county, for several days past Some
of the more sanguine (and perhaps
less lndustrious) OF those participat-
ing are said to proclaim the belief
that man can live without laborlng
that the "Giver of ali good" will
furnish him with clothes, bread,
meat and vegetables, or long credit
and without a mortgage, it he only
has sufficient faith and will serve
Him. There can be NJ objections
to any amount Of faith, but taken
single handed or alone we fear it
will not produce a giod crop OF
corn or cotton in this country.

TOWN ELECTION.

According to previous notlco,
there will be an election OF town
officers-mayor, recorder and five
aldermen-for the Incorporated
town of Evening Shade next Tues
day. We deem it proper and just to
state in connection with this that
we believe those who have served III
this capacity during the term now
about to expire have done so faithful
ly and impartially, and with a view to
maintaining peace and good order
in the town. Some of the ordinan-
ces passed and fines imposed may
appear little stringent and severe
to a few who have become practical
<ly amenablc thereto, but if they were
! to exchange positions with those for
whose protection these laws were
made and enforced, they would
lprobabIy take a very ditferent view
jof the matter. AS they are all good
men, and in view of their experience,
let us vote next Tuesday to re-clect
ithe entire force, h68 mayor to
recOrder.

THE BALrIMOER Gazette" in refer
ring the Chisholm massacre is sure tha,
it was "only a bloody and brutal fami
ly vendetta and not political massa
ore.' This is generally the Democratic
view Of the affair, but the Philadel.
phia Evening "Bulletin" says this view
is net justified by the facts, and it rath
or thinks that when mob kills in cold
blood man, girl and boy who be-
longs to one family which has never
killed anybody belonging to the fami-
lies of the assailants, it really seems
like straining things little too hard
to call the proceeding "family VEN
detta." And this is all the more ap.
parent when We remember that Judge
Chisolm was Republican, while his
murderers were Democrats who wanted
an Office from which he was trying to
exclude them. Democratic newspapers
in the North, recognizing the condition
of public sentiment here, would like
very much to attribute that hideous
tragedy to a private quarrel but
everybody knows that it was a political
murder perpstratsd by Democrats in
the interest Of the Democratic party,
Just ss the murder Of Dixon was.

was slsctsd and put inside ~ polls. He
did his work we'll. In ths wess dis
triot Third ward polls, different plan
had been agreed upon. Here no tax
receipts were to be asked for. Every
thing was to be taken that was
offered, the inspector inside being post
ed in regard to the meaning Of certain
winks and mods, beforehand agreed
upon, and in such . hurry was the n
spsotor Of this district to get such votes
into The ballot box that in one Or two
instances he had forgotten to ask the
names Of the persons voting and they
had to be called back again to give In
their names. Various expedients
were adopted at the various polls, but
all with the express determination Of
getting Democratic votes into the ballot
box and keeping Republican votes out.
For Republicans in many .,ases gen
uine tax receipt, sworn place Of per
manent residence, and being well
known as a constant voter was not
sufficient evidence to entitls them to a
vote, especially II the person applying
to vote happened to be Of a dark color,
while we'll known repeaters were allow
cd to vote in spite Of challenge or pro-
test. This was all done under show
or pretext OF respect for the law which
we have just quoted which makes the
inspectors the sole judges IS to whether
man is entitled to vote even
If he is willing to be qualified that
he has paid q tax and is . resident
Of the ward. This gives . discretion
only to be exercised by honest and up
right inspectors who have some little
regard for their sworn obligation to con-
duct the election in An honest man
ner. This discretionary power lodged
in the hands Of inspectors is wise and
proper il thsy happen to be honest men,
but in the hands Of men picked out for
their violent partisan feeling which
overrides every other consideration, it |
becomes the engine which turns the cleo. |
lions into hollow nookery Of outraged
Justice as was the case at the recent |
city election.
