which, attached as it is to the appro-
priations which are requisite for the
efficient performance of some OF the
most necessary duties of the Govern
ment, involves questions of the gravest
character. The sixth section OF the bill
is amendatory of the statute now in
force in regard to the authority OF per-
sons in the civil, military and naval
service of the United States, at place
where one general or special election IS
held in any State. This. statute was
adopted February %, 1865, after pro-
tracted debate in the Senate, and
almost without opposition in the House
of Representatives by the concurrent
votes of both of the leading political
parties of the country, and became a
law by approval of President Lincoln. ="
He thinks certain laws now on the
statute books sufficient to prevent mill
tary interference with elections.

THE sign "Blacksmithing by Carine
and Nellie Blair is over door in
Louisville. A Courier-Journal reporter
looked in and saw Miss Carine at work.
''She was blonde, her complexion be-
ing as fair as that of any petted belle,
and the lovely tinge of pink and red
which spread over face and neck, not
only served to heighten her natural
beauty, but gave evidence of robust
health. She was dressed i'll Turkish
trousers and loose blouse coat. Her
sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, ex-
hibiting beautifully rounded and
snowy-white arm. As she stood, with
lips tightly compressed and brows knit,
raining hard and well-directed blows
upon the stubborn iron, the reporter
thought" and so on. The picture OF
Miss Carine applies to Miss Nellie, for
they are twins.

DyLLDOzlNG IN NEVADA.

f.. f.. Fisk was almember of the late
Legislature from Eureka county. At
the time of his nomination he pledged
himself, as did all the other nominees
Of the convention, to vote for bill to
prevent unjust discrimination and to
reduce fares and freights on railroads.
During the session, Of. che Legislature
he endeayored to fulfil the promises he
made to the people, and as appears
from the record, favored all the bills
introduced for that purpose, with the
exception of that to create State
Board of Equalization. Mr.. Fisk was
clerk in grain house at Eureka and is
one Of the publishers of the, Eureka
Leader Through the columns of his
paper he, charges thst the magnates of
the Eureka 4 Palisade Railroad pro-
cured his discharge from the clerkship
by threatening to open a grain house
themselves if he was kept in the employ
of the firm. They also suggest as his
successor Senator Dayton, of Lincoln
county, whose vote was for the rail-
roads on all important questions that
came before the Legislature, and who
holds over for the next session.
Here is a clear case of bulldozing in
the enlightened State of Nevada, where
theoretically, everybody is at liberty
to vote as he pleases. We commend it
to the consideration of the Enterprise
and other journals, which have made
bulldozing the subject of many leading
articles, and which profess ON the eve
of important elections to be violently
opposed to the practice in other States.
Let us hear. from the Comstock Thun-
derer on bulldozing in Nevada, and
whether in its opinion it is no offense
for railroad company to prosecute a
man and endeavor to drive him from
the community in which has resided for
years, because, like man, he abded by
his pledges while in the Legislature.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION
CASES.

The action of Judge Bond of the
United States Circuit Court, before
whom the alleged ballot-box suffers
aud bulldozers were being tried, partly
confirms the report telegraphed from
Washington a week ago, that the Re-
publican Federal officers and the Dem
ocratic State officers had, in the Ian
guage of Kearney,. pooled their issues"
Judge Bond instructed the jury in the
Barnwell county election cases to bring
in i verdict of not guilty, because the
indictments contained no allegation
that those who were interfered with at
the polls had been molested on account
of race or color. The jury found ver
dict in accordance with the instructions
of the Court, and the United States
District Attorney, to the great surprise
Of tho large number of spectators in the
courtroom, moved to continue all the
political cases until next November.
The defendants in these cases made no
objection and the Court ordered them
continued.
It appears from this that the Federal
Courts in South Carolina are carrying
ont in good faith their part of the
agreement alleged to have been made
between the Federal and State officers,
whereby those who were indicted for
bulldozing and intimidation at the polls
are to be discharged on condition that
the State authorities shall not prose.
cute Patterson and others for corr
ruption and peculation while in office.
As the State authorities are making no
effort to bring those alleged offenders
to trial, it is quite probable that com
promise has been made as reported, and
that both Federal and State Courts
will dismiss all the political cases I'M
due time. Thus the Republican Federal
Administration and the Democratic
State Administration of South Carolina,
by an amicable arrangement, wipe out
the alleged crimes of host of offenders,
who, if one-half of what they have
been accused offs true, ought to be
sent to the penitentiary for life.
