THE ooNrEDERATE DEMOCRACY.

A careful survey of the field shows read
lily the motive power of the Confederate
Democracy in their present desperate effort
TO effect tue repeal of the election laws.
Should they succeed, which is scarcely pos
sible, it will leave unguarded ballot-boxes
and unprotected voters, with Southern bull
dozers and Northern repeaters and ballot
box suffers in full and free play, thus sur
rendering our next Presidential election to
riot,annrchy, lawlessness, and perhaps blood
shed iu the Democratic Interest. Tho DEM
ocrats are we'll aware that q fair and free
election Is a sure Democratic defeat in 1880.
To avoid this disaster they are now moving
heaven, earth, and the other disputed re-
gion, by every agency available in this Con-
gress, and the only hope is i'll the integrity
and determination Of the Executive to avert
the impending calamities to peace, good or
der, and free and fair elections when the
struggle comes.
The Cleveland Herald has given consid-
erable attention to this question, and it has
come to the deliberate conclusion that thC

their candidate, whoever he may be, vii
carry every Southern State next year. I'm
der present indications this opinion doe:
not appear unreasonable, and yet we do no
regard that as a ioregone conclusion. Blu
conceding as the Herald does, that tn,
Solid South " with its 135 votes is an es
tablished fact, there then remains the ques
ton where the other iorty-seven votes al,
to come from to make their success certain
1t takes 155 votes TO elect, and to assist il
forming clear comprehension of the sit
uaLion, and the chances either way, we re
produce the following table of the electora

"Pinrforc," as done by this company, is quite diff
ferent from any version we have had here. The
stage business follows the London version, whore
the piece was first produced under the eye of the
composer The music and librctto are followed
literally, no Interpolation being allowed, the
theory of the manager being that to burlesque n

stroy the whole effect of the wit Great curiosity Is
manifested to hear Miss Mills in the character OF
Josephine, which sne has so successfully rendered

known in Washington. The several members OF
the company are in every respect worthy OF the
leading artists, the design of the management be-

press of that city are giving II fatering notices

that the BULLOCK Press Company was
forced to take 81, 500" for press that it
had Just furnished the office at some $4,000,
thereby insinuating that the BULLOCK Com
pany was in n strait, and was forced to

any importance aimed at this Office and
its business interests. We have done so for
the reason that there may be residents here
who do not understand the true character
Of the post and its management, and we
might otherwise suffer prejudice thereby.
