occupied the land in 1879. On failure Of
Love to pay rent for that year, Law sued
ont writ OF seizure under the Act of 1876.
The defendant claimed that the writ did
not lie, as there was no express contract TO

land belonged to his wife, but this evidence
was rejected.

THE New York Independent, politi-
journal, SAYS:

''Not among the least of the reasons why
all good citizens should labor for the defeat
of the Democratic party, this fall is the
fact that its success would undoubtedly re-
suit in the repeal of the Federal election
laws enacted in 1870 and 1871 This is one
of the issues of the campaign
That's strictly true, One of the issues
is to repeal the unconstitutional election
laws which clothe L. S. Marshals and
their deputies and supervisors with
power to attend at registrations and
elections, to challenge voters, to inter
fere with State officers of registration
and election, even to the extent of ar
resting them without process, and to
use the army for that purpose, at their
own discretion. These laws are all I'M
constitutional, and are part of the
system Of centralizing legislation that
was designed to keep the South under
carpet-bag domination and which is
calculated to change the Union Of the
Constitution into an Empire. The De
mocratic party in Congress has been
striving to repeal these laws. but their
good intentions have been invariably
thwarted by the veto of the fraudulent
President The Independent is right,
''the repeal Of the Federal election laws
is one OF the issues of the canvass"

No Military Nonsense.

Under this heading, a Northern con-
temporary has the good taste and the
good sense to say that Gen Hancock is
presented to the electors of the country
as a fit person to be President, not be-
cause of his qualities as n good soldier,
displayed as they unquestionably were
on many fields, but because of his
qualities as a law-respecting patriot,
displayed when, having absolute power
thrust upon him, he deliberately de-
cideded in favor Of civil instead of a
military government. The nominee of
the Cincinnati Convention is not Han
cock the Captain, hut Hancock the Git
izen; not the soldier who fought and
won at Gettysburg, but the self-contain
ed patriot who declared that ''the right
Of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the
liberty of the press, the freedom OF
speech, the natural rights of persons,
and the rights of property must be pre-
served"
The Southern people do not remem-
Der with q particle cf il feeling Gen.
Hanoock's splendid military record on
the Union side of the war. They ac-
cord to him full credit for following his
convictions Of duty, just as they follow
ed theirs, but to say that they are sup
porting him because he fought on that
side and whipped them, is to say that
they are breed OF tawning hypoerltes.
-&.-~-.~----
THE Hayes Administration is true to
its corrupt and fraudulent birth. For
vile partizanship and downright mis-.
representation and SANDER of the South
ern people, the Grant regime bad as it
was, is not to be compared to it. For
example, the Attorney General, Deyens,
has the hardihood to publish that if the
democratic party were successful that
whole sections of the country would
lapse into a condition of unrebuked
lawlessness and anarchy, The local
authorities and public sentiment openly
defy the laws of the United States, and
the higher authorities. fearful of offend
ing this sentiment, countenance the
condition of affairs by declining to give
the Federal officers their moral support. "
When the intelligent people of the
South who know that there is as much
reverence for law and order exhibited
in their own States as any other portion
of the Union, see themselves slandered
in this way by leaders who speak for
and represent the Republican party, is
it a wonder that they are .'solid"

London Special to Cincinnati Euq1,rer
The patriotic Irishmen in the United States
who are holding secret conventions an or
ganiAlng systematic obstruction to the
policy of the British government are making
serious mistake. They may be laboring
under the de.usion that their course will re-
s nit IN coed in some mysterious way to their
countrymen at home, but it is Only Il deu-
sion. 1t is also utterly impossible for them
to prevent this government from obtaining
full and early knowledge of all their move
ments. There are spies and traitors among
their membership, and the British authori-
ties are kept continuously and promptly
advised of every step taken by the Society #
United lrshmen and kindred organizations
Throughout the United States.

complete roster Of the executive officers of
the societies in Philadelphia, Chicago and
other cities, Calan, Irish member of the

however, and largely because of reports from

good of their countrymen. may see how their
