THE CHEATING CENSUS IN THE sOUTH.
There is need for a republican congress
this fall to prevent the success of a demo-
cratic scheme equal in bold fraud to the
tissue ballots of South Carolina. We
present some figures on our first page
which will exhibit TO our readers how
brazenly the cheat has been carried on. The
evidence of a conspiracy extending through
out the thousands of appointments from
supervisors to enumerators is overwhelm-
ing Unless a majority of republicans is
found in the next congress the country will
learn that the great, prosperous, growing
north has lost ten or twelve members of
congress and electoral votes, while the
blighted south has gained that number. So
farasreceiyed the results show that Virginia,
in spite of every sign of poverty and decay,
has gained thirtyper cent, while New York,
with all her evidences Of progress and pros
perity, has gained but sixteen per cent. North
Carolina is said to have gained thrty-one
per cent, while Wisconsin, into which hum
dreds of thousands of hardy immigrants have
poured, has only gained twenty-three per
cent. Tomorrow we will present some ad-
dtional figures upon this important sub
iCct

COLONEL FoRNEY has gone to Gettys-
burg to find out what HANCOCK did there
which was so glorious. 1t is rather singular
that the colonel should have waited so
many years for information. Think of
going to New Orleans 10 ascertain about
FARRAGUT or to Austerlitz to learn what

1t was the object of this effort to show
that Generals SHERMAN and SHERIDAN
were indifferent to army regulations, and
then, not anticipating his nomination at
Cincinnati, it unfortunately intmates that
even HANCOCK is implicated in the NAL
practices mentioned" 1t proceeds to pillory
Generals AUGUR, ORD, o. o. HOWARD and
ScHoFIELD as being guilty of reprehensi-
BILE conduct as army officers, with showing
of their respective derelictions, and then it
makes the following specific and very dam
aging allegations against HANCOCK in these
terms:
Major-General W. S. HANCOCK has two
illegally promoted staff officers. w. g.
MITCHELL, captain of tho Fifth infantry, has
never joined his regiment, and received S9,-
05l.05 extra pay. G.. S. l.. WARD, first lieu.
tenant of tho Twenty-second infantry, has not
served the required time with his regiment
lie has received S7,30333 extra pay.
Thus the democratic organ ut the seat of
government directly charges General HAN
COCK, the democratic candidate for presi-
dent, with completely, and the inference is
knowingly and intentionally, with two
army transactions, in which the govern
ment has been wronged out of the aggre-
gate sum of S1G,450.3S for extra pay under
an illegal appointment. If General HAM
COCK is the vigilant officer he should be to
retain his present position and the conf
dence of the country, he must have known
of this wrong, and knowing it, he is as
guilty as the officers who shared the plunder
so long as he permitted the alleged wrong
If he did not know of the preparation Of
these alleged wrongs, that would argue q
want of proper intelligence and vigilance
in the discharge of his duties, which is no
recommendation for a higher res possibility
in the government, So glaring does the
local organ regard this wrong, that ii sug-
gests as remedy for it the enactment
"of paragraph thirty-six of the army
regulations into penal law by congress,
prescribing punishment for the disrega rd
"of its prohibitions"
This is the democratic view Of the demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency prior
TO his nomination. and until disayowed it
must hold good for all time. The placing
of General HANCOCK at the head Of the
democratic column may be regarded as an
Endorsement Of this wrong which needs
penal enactments for its sproperpunishm ent
but it does not remove it or afford any ex-
oneration from the condemnation which
should follow its practices. If these things
appear in the green tree, what may we ex-
pect in the dry when it shall have been
transferred to the position of comman der
in-chief of the army and navy of the United
States? The field then would be much
more expansive and the dangers would be
broadcast over the army, navy aud civil
service of the government in all directions
With such an admitted indifference to the
provisions of the army regulations is based
a very strong reason why that indifference
should not be spread over every department

AT the battle of williamsburg, after
fighting more than two hours, General
HANCOCK placed himself at the head of his
splendid Vermont brigade, and raising his
sword, said "Nowgentlemen, give the mis-.
"creauts the bayonet charge" And the Yer
mont boys did charge, and they scattered
I" the miscreants" in all directions. Aud now

democratic authority for fresh reason to
be urged against the elevation of General
HANCOCK to any higher sphere in the scale

MIR. CoNKLING still sulhs," eXclaims
the democratic organ. The sullling of Mr..
CoNKI1NG in this contest, as the democrats
term it, will prove the worst blow to their
cause in the state Of New York that they
have received in many year He is in
full harmony aud sympathy with the re-
publican cause in this campaign. He will
do stalwart service in the general battle
and at the proper time, without perhaps
mingling in the dress parndes ofpolitics. He
will, with the aid of his stalwart following,
deliver the state of New York to the repub.
lican cause in the pending contest, and thus
determine the great question at issue by saw
ing the nation from democratic domination.
This is the work he has in hand, and with
out its accomplishment all is lost. No one
knows better than he how this work can be
done, and none are more earnest and deter
mined than he that it shall be accom-
plished. Let no republican he disturbed by
the taunts and filings Of the enemy that by
implication place Senator CoNKIING With
the pale of indifference at this crisis No
one feels the necessity Of q republican vic
tory more than he and no one will do more
than he to secure it. This fact, aud it is n
radical fact, should satisfy the most stalwart
friend and most ardent admirer that he will
perform his task we'll, and the future his
tory of the campaign will fully vindcate
this assurance. His trophy in the fight
will be the empire state clothed in a strong
republican majority in November, and this
will be glory enough for the occasion.

THEY have got down TO pretty fine points
in ballotiug for governor of Georgia The
Atlanta Constitution reports the vote for
CoLQUrTr on the twenty-third ballot to be
205 1880, while LEsTER has 60 11.15; and
every other candidate figures with fractions
of q vote ranging from q fifteenth TO one
half The convention has been in session
for week, with no result at our last ad-
vices. The rule requires two.thirds vote
to nominate, and CoLoUITT has come within
from twelve to twenty of q nomination OH
every ballot The prospect is that no NOM
ination will be made, but that resolution
will be adopted recommending Governor
CoLoUITT for re election by the democratic
party. An independent candidate will un-
undoubtedly run against him. CoLQurrT
expects to get the bulk of the colored
vote. He has cultivated their friendship
assiduously by attending their religious
meetings and addressing their Sunday
schools. The independents will also appeal
for colored votes and will get great many
on the plea that to defeat CoLoUfTr will
tend to break up the organization of the
bourbon democracy. Altogether the pros
pect is good for the colorcd voter. He will
be in demand. When bulldozers fall out
the colored voter may get his dues.

THE party of a "full vote free ballot and
fair COUNT are becoming alarmed. They
see that their gross hypocrisy avails them
nothing, and the order goes FORTH "put on
your red shirts and let the ride begin, or
"we shall be sold into political slavery"
This is the way they propose TO carry out
their latter-day doctrine of "a full vote, free
" ballot and fair count" Such PROPOSE
tion is so novel to them that they handle
1t awkwardly. Yes, gentlemen, put on
your red shirts, get out the shotgun of long
range and scattering propensities, and in
that way secure "a full vote, free ballot
"and fair count.n Let its record be writ

dlst preachers can be found who are not willing
to be thought of candidates for any office
within the gift of the General Conference"
The Methodist, commenting on this, says that
rnothing more worthy of the attention of our
ministers has ever been printed in a Methodist
paper" 1t surely is wise in every church to.
make the pastorate the highest post which can,
be attained, and diligently to cultivate public
sentiment that will keep in the front rank.

Covesville Church Destroyed by a
H1 Storm HfH ei
JUNE 18th, 1873.


Messrs. Editors, = The Presbyterian
church at Covesville was wrecked by the
storm on Saturday evening last The ga
BILE end was blown in and the side walls so
much injured, where not destroyed, that
the remainder will in great degree have
to be removed A large portion of the
roof fell in the interior of the church,
smashing the pews and totally destroying
the pulpit and furniture This was pro-
badly the oldest church in Albemarle
county. 1t was built in the year 1909,
and thus had stood for II years. 1t was
ten or twelve years after this before any
church vas built in Charlottesville. Mr..
Kelly and his wife, who were the found
ers of the Presbyterian church in Char
lottesville, had their membership here
and attended regularly every communion
season, riding some eighteen miles to do
so. The congregation had, with com
mendable zeal few years ago, remodelled
and beautifed their church. 1t was swept
from us in the twinkling of an eye with
all its sacred associations connecting us
with the worshippers of other days. 1t
having been destroyed on Saturday even
ing about 2 o'clock, very large part of
the congregation knew not what had hap
pened until on their way to church Sun
day morning. Strong men could not re-
press their feelings as they saw in ruins
the church in which four generations had
worshipped. On the grass with the ru-
ms around them the Congregation held
their service on Sunday, bowing to that
God who plants his footsteps on the sea
and rides upon the storm.
A gratifying incident connected with
our misfortune is the manifestation of
sympathy from those outside of the
church and the testimony which they
bear to the influence of the church in the
past. The congregation determined to
rebuild at once. Very truly,
