A Few "Rools for Jint Discussion. =
Toledo Blade.

Toledo Blade.
The next elecshun is liable to be eggstreme-
ly eggscitin, and there shood be in the South a
uniformity ny meens to be yoesed that our sue
cess may be assured. We must hev solid
South that the votes NV the States now groan-
in under Fedral despotism may be throwed fol
the candidate WITCH will recognize the fact that
the South hez rites and is reddy to maintane
EN-.
In all jint discusshuns in the Southern
States these rooles shood be observed.
l. When a radikel shows desire to discuss,
the rifle shood never be yused. The revolver
IL better, for there are six loads in a navy and
the second may accomplish what the first failed
TO do. But the shot gun is the proper weepin,
for shot scatters, and no matter how shaky a
shivalrys hand may be, the tother discusser
can't get out NV range Nv charge NV shot.
2. Never depend upon single-barrelled gun.
1t may take two charges to finish a obnoxious
discusser
2. Alluz yooze the old-fashioned muzzle-
loader. The cartridges that 700 hev to yooze
with the breach-loader are loaded with small
shot witch won't alluz do. And besides, the
breach-loader is Yankee weepin, and no true
Southerner will yoose enything Yankee made
4. Load with a hevvy charge NV buckshot
and alluz put in two or three slugs. Slugs is
more convincin than buckshot, ez they tear q
bigger hole.
5. Alluz aim at the button on the back NV
the coat. The charge then penetrates the kid
neys and liver and the disturber dies on the
spot. 1t is crooelty to prolong their sufferins.
6. Be keerful to observe the law. The mo-
ment the disturber quits kickin, go afore the
neerest iustis NV the peace and deliver yoor-
self up. He will immeiitly admit 700 to BALE
and the infamus charge that the Southern citi-
zen is not law-abidng will be disproved.
Z. Free speech is the bulwark NV our civil
ization, and everybody must enjoy it, but ez
disturbers can't be allowed let it be understood
that only Dimocrats kin enjoy that privilege
Meetings NV Radikels helm inceniary must be
sternly suppressed.
s. A speaker shoold never be shot while on
the stand. Lay for him when he has got
through. 1t will be found that after few NV
EN- hev bin senced, none will vencher on it,
9. Niger meeting-houses and Sunday-skoos
cannot be permitted. ez they are the hot beds
of radikelism. One Methodist preacher will
off set the good work Nv dozen groseries.
10. Postmasters shood see to it that no Radi-
KEEL papers are permitted to be cirkelatid Moose
papers is noosance, and eff the RadiI1els are
preventid from taken EN-, they will be entirely
supprest in our seckshun, ez the troo Dimekrat
don't take to EN- at all. The less noosepapers
the better the Dimekrat
There are other things that might be recon-
mended, but eff these is followed Their is 20
doubt NV glorious Dmekratk victory next
yeer. With Tilden's bari in the North and
the short gun in the South, we can elect the
next President.

Insecurity Of the Croton Aqueduct.

The Question OF the Appointment of
Election Inspectors.
The general term of the Superior Court was
crowded with lawyers and politicians eager to
hear the arguments on the order to show cause
why mandamus should not issue compelling
the Police Commissioners to appoint forthwith
Inspectors of Election and Poll Clerks, in adj
diton to those already appointed. Judge
Davis was absent through sickness, and Judges
Brady and Barrett were alone present. Mr..
ID. d. Field read the form of the order, which
he said counsel for Tammany Hall wanted the
Court to issue. 1t was in substance a manda-
mus compelling the Police Commissioners to
appoint, in addition to two Republican and
anti-Tammany Inspectors, one Inspector from
each election district belonging to the Tam
many Hall organization. A long affidavit of
Commissioner Mclean was read by his coun-
sci in opposition. In reply Mr.. Root read q
long affidavit signed by Commissioners French
and Wheeler, in which they stated substan-
TALLY their willingness to vote for the appoint
ment of one Tammany Hall and one Irving
Hall Inspector. 1t set forth also that the ac-
ton of the Mayor in summoning Commission
ers French. Mclean and Morrison before him
today, to show cause why they should not be
removed, is solely an attempt to remove Mr.
French. Mr.. Field arose and said that Mayor
Coopers action was an attempt to counteract
the action of the Supreme Court, and he would
like Judge Davis to be present to hear the
matter. Judge Brady said it was necessary
that a full bench should be present, as the
question was grave one. The Court then ad
journed until tomorrow.
The Police Commission,
Judge John r. Brady to-day signed per-
emptory order restraining Mayor Cooper from
removing Police Commissioner Wheeler from
office AT a meeting of the Police Commits
soners to-day, a list OF names OF such men as
August Belmont, David ID Ddley Field, Samuel
j. 1ilden, Tom Dreamer, Gus Schell and 9TH

Election Inspectors, was adopted
