acteristics. The Latins fondly
looked back to the blue skies Of
sunny Italy, the gay Frenchman
cited the glories of La Belle France,
the solid German cast longing looks

overfowing with venom, passed os-
tensibly in the interest Of pure cleo

citizens by adoption of their most
sacred rights. The population in

instinctively shun Marshals, hence
the policy Of parading huukies whose
mission 1t is to intimiuate foreign
voters and keep them away from the

The fragrant abuses resulting appeal
earnestly for summary repeal.
During the recent session OF Con-

Senator Davis, the faithful partner
of Abraham Lincoln, passed the
