THE DISMISSAL Of the two oonsta bles
charged with refusing to arrest illegal
voters, by Esquire Cole, last evening,
does not end the cases. Indictment will
promptly be laid before the Grand
Jury, which no doubt will return true
bills, and then the constablss will be
arraigned before court that will not
allow them to testify in their own be-
half. The little skirmish before Squire
Cole was merely preliminary, and had
he acted differently from what he did, ,
he would have disappointed those who
we're prosecuting on the part Of the
State. The action of the c0nstables has
shown conclusively that they cannot be
expected to perform the duties they are
sworn to perform, and since the action
of last night the simplest act Of justice
cannot be expected from Esquire Cole.
The only source left open now is the
Grand Jury and Higher Courts, and to
them the cases will in all probability
be taken.

Justice Outraged.

The sacoad farce growing out of the
arrests for illegal voting was enacted
before Squire Cole last evening. 1t was
broad and laugh al BILE in the extreme, but
nothing more than was expected. The
Squire is a Democratic Justice, and it
behoves him to strain every point to
protect his Democratic Consta bles, even
though the ends Of justice should be
defeated by it. Here were several re-
sponsibls citizens whose testimony
would stand unimpeached before any
court Of justice in the State, who testi-
fed that officers Hickman and Brooks,
after having had several repeaters
pointed out to them, positively refused
to make any arrest. These charges
were unoontradieted, even by the de-
PENDANTS themselves, who had no right
to testify in their own behalf. Even
those who were Of Squire Coles own
political party, should have blushed
last night when officers Hickman and
Brooks were allowed to testify in their
own behalf, and their testimony,
though not given under oath, was tax
On as an offset to the sworn positive
testimony of Messrs. Higgins, Gouert,
Howard and File. Officers Hickman
and Brooks were arraigned on criminal
charges, and it was 10 more right that
their testimony should be taken to off,
set the testimony Of sworn witness
than that thief, burglar or a mur-
derer should be allowed to make q
statement in their own behalf, and that
statement be taken as rebutting testi-
mony by which they are discharged
There have been good many traves-
ties on justice in Delaware, but we
doubt whether ever farce so bold was
called justice before in Delaware. Such
NAL administration Of the law are
enough to bring tears to the eyes of
angels and make the fiends Of darkness
rejoice.

Not Heavy Enough.

After a great many charges of fraud
and dire threats Of retaliation on the
Republicans the Democrats have arrest
I'd colored man who resides in the
Fifth Ward, and charged him with illegal
voting. Let us see what kind of case
they make Of it. The man lived in the
Western district of the Fifth Ward. He
had genuine honestly paid up tax re-
ceipt. He offered to vote at the polls at
Seventh and Madison streets, and any
honest inspector would not have hesita.
led one moment in taking his vote. but
it was refused because he got Windsor
and Wolliston streets confounded in his
mind and gave his residence in one
while he lived in the other. When his
vote was refused where he should have
voted, some Jealous friend unwlsely ad-
vised him to go to the Eastern district
of the same ward where the ticket was
the same as in the Western district
with the exception Of Inspector and As
sistant Inspector. Here his vote was
taken, and for this offence he has been
arrested and bound over to answer for
illegally voting. We will award to
Mayor Almond the credit due to him,
to say that he reluctantly bound the
man over, as he believed his offence to
be very light one. This is all there
is in that case and though the vote was
q little irregu ar, who will say that this
colored man had any criminal intent to
commit fraud Is not the inspector
who refused his vote where he rightful-
Iy belonged, much more guilty than hei
1t will take heavier cases than this 10

General Woolford who went - ~ e.
oort to Mrs. Chisolm 70 Mississippi, right
|ly charastsrisss the trial Of the mur-
dersr Of her daughter - = stupsndous
farce. A case Of the moat brutal kind
Of murder wss clearly proven against
the murderer Gully, but in half an hour
aftsr the Jury retired they returned
with indecent haste with . verdict Of
acquittal. Mr.. Woolford has no fault
to nnd with the judgs, and the Attor-
ney for the State. He believes they
! acted in good faith and did their whole
duty, but the jury rejecting the COM
mon public sentiment Of the whites in
Reaper County, would not have return-
cd verdict Of guilty II they themselves
had seen Gully aim the gun and hrs
the shot which killed poor Cornelia
Chisolm. There were none but were
convinced Of Gully's guilt but public
sentiment was such that the lives OF
the jury would have been in danger
had they not violated their solemn oaths
to render true verdict in accordance
with the evidence offered. There are
other indictments pending against some
more Mississippi outlaws for the mnr-
derers Of Judge Chisolm, his little son,
Mcclellan and one other, but there is
no Use in making farther exhibition
of such sickening farce. Nobody can
be convicted before Mississippi jury
for committing 3 murder if the case has
any shadow Of a political bearing. The
trial of Barksdals Tor the murder Of
Dixon will be another broad farce, in
which assassination will go unpunished
and the murderer will be vaulted into
Office with the plsudits Of an admiring
constituency. These are the kind OF
crimes that are apologized for by the
Northern Democracy. These are the
that elect such men as
Chalmers TO Congress, and Chalmers
being made chairman Of the House
caucus committee, virtually
maps out and controls the Democratic
legislation Of Congress. Gully who
shot Cornslis Chisolm, lives in the midst
Of the people Of Ksmper County, ad-
mired and fetsd for bis chivalrous &C.

Those False Tax Receipts.

AhVS~ ~AsO - .~S~.
We did not say that Joseph L. Car
psnter had issued blank tax receipts
signed by himself which we're used al
the late city election, and it is not honest
for the Gazette" to try to create that
Impression. We did however give 1t as
IN asserted fact that rolls Of receipts
we're circulated around by the police
and others bearing Joseph l.. Carpen-
ter's name and stamped with the coun-
ty tax collectors seal. These receipts
were all filled up with the blank for the
name Of the voter remaining untitled,
said blank being filed up with the
name of any person that could be in
duusd to vote on such receipt. The
police we're said to have been literally
supplied with them and even Toys IN
der age are said to have voted upon
tn I'm. No doubt that many persons
could be produced to whom these tax
rpcsirts were sent, as we personally
know Of some to whom they were Of
tered who would not use them, and We
know Of one to whom receipt was fur
nishsd unsolicited. by . police officer.
who instead of using 1t tore it up.
Som. body must have issued those re-
oeipts tor they had no generative pow
srs by which they could propagate
themselves, but We did not say that
Mr.. Carpenter issued them. The hfty
dollars reward offered for any receipt
in blank bearing his name will hardly
have the effect Of producing them.
Those who used them in all probabil-
ity were too sharp to BE- caught by any
reward that might be offered 80 they had
them dsstr ,ysd as soon As used. There
may however be q chance ons floating
around yet, and We hope that Mr.. Car
pentsr may get sight Of some Of them
for the purpose that he may not only
have an opportunity Of getting clear Of
some fifty dollar bills, but that he may
have a chanoe to have the parties who
voted on such receipts arrested and
punished for illegal voting. We have
no doubt whatever that the receip,
sent to James Phillips in an envelope,
and upon which he offered to vote in
the Eighth Ward was one of these re-
ceipts. but when it was ascertained that
Paillips was going to vote the Repub-
lican ticket, the receipt was held by
the insp .ctor Wells and he was arres-
ted for attempting to vote illegally |
There is no Disgusting the fact tina,
these receipts were flying around th.ck
on election day, and whenever a man
was foand who would vote the Demo-
cratic tick if he had not a receipt a
policeman would soon furnish him with
one.
We say again that We do not accuse
Mr.. Carpenter with issuing these re-
ceipts, but it will be no reflection upon
his integrity for US to say that If he did
not do it, somebody else got an exact
"fac-simile" Of his official stamp and
did issue them in such numbers that
the Democratic political thimble-
riggers had all they could make use OF
conveniently or all that were required.
There is no ru obing that out, Mr.. Car
penter. and there is nobody more vital
ly interested in having such scoundrels
brought to justice, and We hope that on
behalf of an outraged 60 immunity, and
outraged justice you may be suocessf ul
in appreh-nding the guilty parties.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MISUNDERSTANDING
ton AdcertiScr. MIR. c. 7. Huntington,
president OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way Company, arrived in our CITY last
Wednesday morning from long trip West
in the interest OF bis various railroad pro-
jectS. He left here about four weeks ago
on this mission and visited San Antonio,
Texas, and intermediate points on the route.
1t is understood that he perfected arrange
ments for building a line OF road from San
Antonio to FL Paso, 1cXas,-about 400
miles where it will connect with his Cali
fornia Southern Pacific railroad, now being
built, which will reach Ei Paso in July, 1882,
or possibly earlier. There are already two
lines OF railroad to San Antonio-onc from
Galveston and the other from Marshall,
Texas, and points North and East. This
scheme, then, involves a through all-raiI
route to the Pacific by the routes named,
and, as has been said, will be completed by

CATHOLIC CLERGY AND LArTY.

- CAIhUllC CLERGY AND LAETT. -.
| NEW. YoRK, May 2S.-CarGlinal DicC loskey
| and tie Archbishops and Bishops OF the
Roman Catholic Church have issued gen.
eral address 10 the clergy and faity OF that
faith throughout the United States in behalf
81 Archbish Up Purcell, OF Cincinnati, with
q view to reliavc him OF his financial en-
baffassment. They say they recognize that
no obligation IL resting on the Catholic
clergy or people to assume the debts
OF any ecclesiastical person or body
whatever, and thst tbe action in this
case is not TO be taken as establishing
Il precedent for the future, but out of
charity ana willingness to assist Archbishop
Purcell. They make the following state
ment OF tie result OF their deliberations:
The official report OF Archbishop PurceIPs
assignee gives his assets ut Sf.1S1, $50 %.
and his liabilities ut So, 697. G5I.49. OF the
assets, SIG, 10 SPARE considered good. The
| excess OF liabilities over assets would then
be 1927 ,SS1.1G. The recent cancellation bT
creditors Of Cincfarsiii congregations OF one
half OF the claims reduces the liabilities to
81, 490, SS1 16. Accepting fifty per cent. as
the basis OF settlement TO which the credit
ors arc disposed to agree, the indebtedness
of The Archbishop will be retfaced to
Sl.oo0,ocO. This, they say, is the said cx-
hiht. but they hope the evil is not IRENE
dIab!e. Each prelate signing the address
agrees to have subscriVtion-lists opeged at
once in each parish Of his diocese for con-
trlbution>, to be paid in instalments for
five years. 4 collection will also be
taken up in each parish before November
1st OF this year. a central committee. con-
sistins OF Cardinal McClcskey, Archbishop
Williams OF Boston, and Vicar General
Quinn OF New York, will take charge OF the
funds and see them properly dsbursed.
Prelates not present at the meeting are
earnestly requested to signify to his Emil
hence Cardinal McCloSkey their willingness
to join in this united action. Preates sign
ing the address have personally pledged
themselves to contribute $4,000 in annual
instruments dnring FIVE years.
