candid men of both parties see that this Is
the TRUTH and they see, too, in the recent
vote in Louisiana and other Southern States,
abundant proof that the Democratic parry
there was utterly mendaclOus and dishonest
and ready to gain power by any means, how
ever INSCRIPTIONS or base. Reckless charges
of fraud have been made by Democrats about
many subsequent elections The country has
seen them completely refuted, one after an
other, just the impudent assertions about
Indiana and Now-Yorl have been refuted
IL has come to pass, as consequence, that
everybody expects the Democratic party to
howl "fraudn whenever it gets beaten, and
nobody considers such Outcries OF any more
importance than the whining of whipped

Il was hoped that the public had heard the last OF

the American public is especially anxious to know
how the scenes of the Passion Play looked, as pre-
scented In Oberammergan. They have been
described, and a very slight efo.t OF ianoy
would suffice to call them to mind. Mr.. stoddard,
however, thinks that they are worthy OF plctorai

In October. IN November.

The number of "col0nizedo voters, or votes
cast by repeaters, III October, 1t appears, may
nossibly have been as large as &c! All the
other vote cast at the hotly contested and
doubtful contest of October was repeated IN
November, when the result in that State was
not doubted by any intelligent man, when
Renublican voters and all the money Repub-
icans had to use were needed in other States,
and when Indiana was by that party left to
take care of itself. Yet larger vote was
polled for General Garfield than for Governor
Porter and 1t was drawn from the dispritcd
and broken Greenback ranks. Of the voters
Of that class who supported separate ticket
in October, 759 appear to have voted for
Garfield and 1,070 for Hancock. 1t is not
possible to have a more convincing proof that
the majority of October represented the free
and unpurchased will of actual residents and
legal voters in Indiana.
In truth, the Democratic party has very
hard time OF it, in trying to ta'ten upon the
Republicans some charge of fraud. thou
sand times such charges have been made,
with as much positiveness and vOcferation as
If there had been convincing evidence to sup
port them. In almost every case, events or
investigations have proved that the charges
had no other foundation whatever than the
enormous mendacity of the scouDdrels who
made them. All candid men now know that
the outcry of fraud in 1876 was utterly without
foundation, unless 1t be first taken for granted
that the Democratic construction of the laws
framed and passed by Republicans of Louisiana
for their own protection is necessarily the true
one, and that the assertions of cOntradlcted
Democratic witnesses are necessarily true.
Starting with these assumptions, a case can
be made out against the Republicans; on any
other basis, there has never been any case
whatever. II the Republican officials were

THE VOTE IN NEU- YOEH.

The pretence that New York was carried oy
4" colonization by the importation OF persons
from other States who had no right to V0le
here-was raised by men who never believed
if. In the presence of the official vote OF the
State, now declared, that pretencc VIII DE
seen by every intelligent man to be utterly
baseess and fraudulent. The total vote
of the State is 1,105, S26, and IS not as
large in proportion to population as thc
vote of four years ago. Since the census OF
1875, the State has gained in population
10 per cent, or at the rate OF 10.4 per
cent in four years. But the total vote
has increased only 1924, or less than
80 per cent. II the Republican
majority in the State had been obtained by
fraudulent importation of voters the number
of such voters imported must have been over
21,O33, General Garficld's plurality. But that
vould leave an increase in the honest votes OF
less than 69,291 in four years, or less than
3 pcr cent increase in votes, against 1O.4
per cent in population. No sensible man Will
believe that, after the great exertons made ny
both parties, the intense excitement, and the
full knowledge that the Presidency depended
upon the vote of this State, only two-thirds
of the increase in voters appeared i'll the IN
crease of honest votes.
Bnt again, the official return shows that
the vote for General Hancock was less than
the vote for Mr. Tilden in 33 counties. In
those counties thu ,Ote for General Hancock
was actually $3.50 less than the vote Tor Mr.
Tilden, which proves that in more than hall
the counties of the State the Republicans
gained votes from the Damocrats-or rather,
recovered voters who supported Iilden ana
REFORM when hard times were pressing.
In these counties, while the Democrats lost
9.25 votes, the Republicans gained 1928
votes Bat the transfer of 1886 votes from
one side to the other accounts Tor differ
ence OF 1882 in the majority. In the face
of such facts, any man stands ID need OF all
the impudence and shamelesSness OF Bar
nun, If he persists i'll tue pretence that New
York was carried by fraud.
The pretence that Indiana was frauduently
carried in October by the colonization OF
thousands of voters from other States, and
the unlimited employment OF repeaters, has
been concusively refuted, also, by the vote
in November Imported repeaters steal away
10 their homes after they have done their
work. Negro voters from the South" or
voters of any other kind, imported for the
nurnose of carrying the October election IN
Indiana, had no reason to stay, and very
substantial fear of punishment to hasten their
fight after the election was over. Hence it
is exceedingly unfortunate for the Democrats
that the vote of each party was repeated, with
astonishingly little change, in the election of
November, as follows:

PRLSONERS FOR DEBT.

The presentment of the Grand Jury respect
ing Imprisonment for debt as low pracused
in this city may be said, without exaggera-
ton, to recall some of the memorable abuses
of the Fleet in London, which Dickens was
influential in reforming, though he was not
alone in denouncng them. The Grand Jury
have found one prisoner in Ludlow Street
Jail who has been confined there four years
and a half on n civil process which puts no
limit upon the imprisonment Another
has been there for twenty-one months
under similar process. 80 little order
as well as humanity has there been III the
execution of laws for debt that no record can
be found of the dates when the imprisonment
of these men began. the Sheriff, it seems,

law be passed compelling SherIffs to leave
the records behind them that another law he
passed limiting confinement on civil process
in any case 10 six months another, making
applicable to this county q section OF tue
Code of Civil Procedure, now applicable 10
Kings County alone, by which the cost OF
support of prisoner in q civil proceeding Is
assessed upon the plaintiff in the suit, the
defendant being released If the amount Is not
paid and another preventing any long deten-
ton for the non-payment Of Sheriff and jail
fees, &c.
All these suggestions are humane and rea-
sonabe, and it Is to be hoped the Legislature
will attend to them promptly. 1t has always
been matter Of National pride with MS that
in the amelioration of the laws governing I'M
prisOnment for debt, we were in advance OF
older countries. Such terms of confinement as
those mentioned by the Grand jury are out
rageous. and are virtually usurpatlons OF the
powers of criminal law to punish wrongs or
injuries which the law had already expressly
refused to regard rs crimes. IL is question
