BLAINES BLUNDER.
his PALLIATIos OF THE PRESENCE oF
TROOPS AT TUE POLLS.


Blaine's pitlful demagogueism that a
law forbidding tho President to send
troops to the polls was absurd aud
Revolutionary = rather q contradic-
tion-bccause there were but tow
troops available, has secured for that
ingenious Senator nothing but ridicule
and denunciation. 1t was the lamest
effort OF bis life. The Philadelphia
Times has this to say Of Blainc's reas-
oning
"lf a single election poll or the
election polls which may control a
county or district, can be controlled
by the bayonet, the assault upon the
free government is as deadly as If an
army were to overrun every debatablc
State. What would be Senator Blaino's
answer il Democratic administration
should march single company of Fed
eral troops to the several centres
Of his Congressional district which
decide the election of Congressman,
and exercise the arbitrary power OF
reconstruction days to arrest or intimi
date voters so us to secure the defeat
Of the candidate OF his party Would
Senator Blaine appear before tho peo-
pie of this State and answer: What
have the nearly million of freemen
OF Maine to fear from few hundred
Federal soldiers p"
In 1868 a company of Federal ma.
rines were marched to the polls in
Philadelphia, under orders from the
United States Marshal. There was nc
open resistance but that single com,
pany of less than four score soldier.
with cleaning bayoncts, moved the
city from centre TO circumference, and
there was but one voice that went uT
to the authority of the State in rcgarc
to it. Republicans and Democrat,
united as one people TO demand thai
bayonets and elections should be
strangers to each other in Pennsylva
MIA. The Republican Governor form
ally protested against the assault upor
the freedom of elections, and Repub
lican Legislature and Republican
Constitutional Convention have for
hidden the presence oil troops within
range of elections Our militia ar,
forbidden to parade on election day o.
to appear as military organizations
with or without arms, and any office
commanding soldiers to parade OF
election day is liable to fine and dis
missal from office. Our new Consti
tuition, framed by Republican body
and adopted by one hundred and fit,
thousand majority, added to the oil
provision declaring all elections to b
free, that "no power, civil or military
shall at any time interfere to preven
the free exercise OF tho right of sui
frage." 1t is in no degree a question
of the number OF troops. There wa
less than hundred in Philadelphia h
1868, where one hundred and fort,
thousandvot could have disregarde
them with impunity or vanqnishe,
them with breath, if necessary; bu
tho bayonet as the symbol of the mi
itary power OF the Government mad
the whole Commonwealth rise up a
one man and declare the sovereignty
Of the State and tho freedom Of he
citizens.

ANOTHER DEFACLTING BANK CASHIER-The
greatest CONSERVATION has been caused by the
discovery that Nathan p. Pratt. OF the savings
bank In Reading, Mass, is a iefaulter to the eS-
tlmated extent OF about sec. 600, his fraudulent
operations covering q period OF three years
Ihe bank started In 1869 and he was elected
treasurer, which office he held to present time
he had the entire confidence OF the community.
He owned some SCI, 600 left him by his father
and his individual bond for SO, GEO. secured BY a
mortgage on his farm, was the only security re.
quired Of him. Last Friday 1t was discovered
that certain mortgages held by the bank had
been transferred to other parties, and when
Pratt was confronted with the facts he admit
ted that he had been financially embarrassed
and had used the securities OF the bank to meet
his personal ends. He said he had probably
converted S20,6O0 in this way. His estimate
however is not believed to be correct With con-
Slderale reluctance Pratt surrendered the KEYS
10 the president, and an Investigation was at
0nce proceeded with. All the quick assets of the
Dank were gone, including Sc 500 of the hangs
STOCK. 1t Is further learned that Pratt recenflv
mace confession to his daughter in which
DesldeS other acts. he admitted having apnro
prlated deposits aggregating s10,OOe as they
came In, without crediting them on the books.
1t Is said that Pratt invested largely in the
Mystic Valley railroad. and loaned money to his
son, who has been In several Irregularities
Pratt Is about 81 years of age. He disappeared
on Sunday night. The bank has only some
$1,000 In cash left.

STORM ON THE CENTRAL PAcIFIc.-Saturday
night was the fierccSt and stormiest ever
known on the Sierra Neyadas since the con.
Struct1on OF the railroad. The wind blew a
hurricane; the snow was light and dry and the
air was so filled with the storm driven particles
that 1t was impossible oftentimes to see an OBJ.
Ject ten feet distant. The wind tore the branches
from the trees, started avaianches rolling down
the mountains, and hOwled and shrieked and
rayed like thousand demons. The storm piled
drift 35 feet deep by the side OF Cardweli's
mouse at the Summit. Wherever there was q
c. ack or crev1ce In the sides of the snowsheds,
the snow would soon be sifted In to the height
OF SIX or eight feet across the track. In places
the top OF the Snowsheds was bare: in place
the posts and uprtghts groaned beneath mass
forty feet deep. The snow ploughs and engine,
worked necessarily. Harder work never wa
performed by railroad men. Relief train men
and the snow plough crew were out In the
storm four nights and three days. During all
this fight with the storm the men had scarcely
two consecutive hours OF sleep. The blockade
was crushed through on Sunday morning, and

LAwLEssNEss IN KENTUCKy.-The record OF
crime IN this state promises to be backer In 1879
than In any year which preceded it. 1t is use
less to specify. but we had as well recognize the
lact that the larger part OF Kentucky Is govern
cd, not by the constituted authorities but by
mob law. Even Kentucky annals furnish no
parallel to the Winchester outrage, when q man
was shot because he could not or would not pay
his debts. II there was q law on the statute
books Furnishing the misfortune or crime of in
solvency, 1t might be well to make death the
penalty. But that Is not now the case and
when lot OF blood thirsty rufIians, with blood
on their hands and murder in their hearts, COM
NIT such an outrage as they did at Winchester,
wholesale hanging would seem to be the o1ly
remedy. Last night, In Newport, again the
mob mo held court. Kentucky justice is too slow.
We are brave, intelligent, progressive, Chris
