The voter who should violate his oath,
we suppose, is to be prosecuted for perjury.
OF course, the CoLoUITT men are greatly
ncensed at such method Of securing votes.
They denouncc it fcrcely as an attack
upon the ballot-box and the purity of cleo
tons. 1t certainly smacks of kuownoth-
ingism. However, it is new, and we should
not wonder if it proved popular with cam
didates. Reports Of friendly committees,
and even the enthusiastic shouts of big
meetings, however grateful to the feelings,
are but vague and unsatisfactory evidences
of success besdea large bundle of allidavits.
This Georgia plan is sure TO spread. We

HANCOCK prudcntly declines to follow
TMDEN in promising to veto southern
claims should he become president. He
thinks, perhaps, that he may miss thepresi-
dency this time, in which case he would
want the nomination next time. TIIDEN's

1t is avery desperate cause which prompts
even the Louisville Courisr-JoUrndl with its
loose habits of voracity, to throw aside all
shame and abandon itself to the most un-
mitigated system OF persistent lying. 1t
now openly charges that the republican
party, when in control of congress, paid
"all the southern claims which they could
get hold Of thereby implying that they
were rebel claims, when the Courier.JomHai
knows that not dollar of that class of
claims has ever been knowingly paid by re.
publican congress Every dollar Of demands
paid has been to loyal men under we'll
established claims, and this is what apnoys
the late rebel press and what prompts
rebel congress and a rebel party now to
seek revenge by opening the door of the
national treasury to rebel claims more
widely than it has ever been opened to
loyal claimants. If 100000 900, as the
CD. claims, have been paid TO loyal claim
ants in the south for damages suffered in
consequence of a rebel war that in no de-
gree justfies the purpose of the democrats

The latest thing in canvassing has been
developed by the democratic faction fight
