A BEAsTfY and unprovoked attack upon
any man, whether young or old, is like the
gun whose recoil is more to be feared than
its projectile. Then, again, that apology
for n man who let's himself down incon-
tinently to mean action because he has
the opportunity is simply an object Of dis
respect. He must belong to that class, and
the world has too many such, who have
wrecked their own lives upon the rocks OF
prodgnlity and shame, and simply exist in
the midst OF their own ruin, surrounded by
pcrnicious habits and motives, sharing oil
the woes that n dishonest and shameless
career begets. Such creatures seldom tax
longevity TO degree that they can be
tauntcd with old age. Life itself to all
such becomes burdensome, for it inspires Il
bitterness of hate which makes tho victim
a pHndemonium within himself. The worst
punishment that can be inflicted upon sucl
characters is TO protract their lives, that
they may share the measure of contempt
| that they merit.

some confusion the joint assembly was dis
solved by the president Of the senate leaving
the chair.
In the debate which followed the whole
subject of the power of the president OF the
senate and the functions OF either housc In re-
lation to the count was discussed. An at.
temDt was made in tho house to cause the re-
assembling of the two houses ITO complete the
count" but no action was taken. A majority
of the house believed that because the tellors
had included the vote OF Wisconsin IN the
tabulated statement read by the president OF
the senate, that the vote of the state had been
practically counted. This does not appear
to have been Mr.. MAsoNs view Of his own
act.
We have grouped the precodonts so far made
in similar cases 10 that of &c orgia, If they
govern now, Of course @ Gcorgia's vote will be
counted for HANCOCK There arc many rea-
sons why they should govern In the future rs
in tho past. The case OF Wisconsin was dc.
scribed by all the constitutional lawyers of
congress as n caSUs omissus--there Is no law and
no provision OF tho constitution covering the
point. Left in this doubt 10 is natural TO find an
objection 10 depriving u state Of its vote. Its
electors have certainly been appointed and will
have voted, and the fact that tho final act was
not done on particular day is n technicality
which Is easily overlooked when tho desire is
to get Mt the real voice and intent Of the state.
II Is fortunate that in this case, as in all
which have preceded II, the result of the
presidential election is not affected by the
| counting or rejection of the vote. We can
| easily imagine the excitement in Washington
| and the country had the same question arisen
in regard to New York.

WITH fair election and an honest count
General GAEFIELD's majority in the late
confederate states would have been fully
100000. This would have given him n
popular majority of at least threC-fourths
of n million of votes in the union, The
majority realized is ample for all practical
purposes, but what commentary it fur
nishcs Of the purity of our elections and
the dangers that surround the republic!

THE board of councilmcn Of the we'l.gov-
orncd little city of La Fayette, Ind, invite
the meeting at indianapolis IN convention of
delegates from each municipality of the state
for tho purpose of consulting together and
creating, If possible. system Of management
and government for cities aud towns, which
shall be general. The details of governmental
supervision in the matters of police, water,
gas, justice, street.beds, hygiene, buildings
and charities, 1t is suggested, need reform,
and the coming together of delegates from all
parts of the state, with the necessary inter
change of ideas and experience, must be pro-
ductive Of good.
1t is a very excellcnt proposition, and the
results Of the convention, which IL is hoped
will he carefully revised and published, will
give much needed information OH vital ques'
tions of municipal poity.

The New York Herald is very positive
that tho secretary Of the treasury will not
be taken either from the city or the state
of New York. This may be u correct view
of that question, but it is more probable
that the assumption of our cotemporary is
based upon sheer conjecture, II is highly
probable that the Herald is far in advance
of the president-elect in the conclusions ar
rived at on this point. The reasons nd
yanced by il for assuming the ground that
New York cannot have the secretaryship of
the treasury are neither fair nor Just to tho
people of that state, and really have no
sound foundation in fact under The circum-

stances. They imply that because New
York city is the commercial metropolis of
the nation her bankers are not sufficiently
honest TO administer the financial affairs of
the government. Such an insinuation even
is an insult TO the integrity of the business
men of the state.

A Sneaking, Cowardly Act !

Mr.. r. u. White, editor of this
paper, was assaulted in a most coyard-
ly manner, in the postofiice in this
city, about 4 o'clock Tuesday even
ing, by one W. n. Graham. The
cos0ard1y cur attacked Mr.. White
while stooping, in the act Of taking
his mail from the postofice box,
without saying q word to him, knock
ing him down and then stamping
him. Graham is q great, big, over
grown specimen Of humanity, and
could, NO doubt, have gotten salts
faction of MIR. White, without SLIP
ping up and striking him from be-
hind. 1t was a coaoardty act. and
the perpetrator of it is a co,oard from
the word go.
In the absence of rr. White the
writer of this article cAn be found at
the LEDGER Office from seven O'Clock
until six, ready and wiilEng to wait
on al such customers.
Mr.. (?) Graham, Immediately af-
ter the difficulty, sneaked around to
the city recorders office, plead
guilty, and was fined IS and costs
but the thing did not end as Graham
thought 1t WOULD J. W. Plunkett
swore out a warrant for his arrest for
assault with intent to kill, and he was
taken before Justice Hooten, who
bound the gentleman (?) over in the
sum of $1,000, with Sallee & Brooks
as security. The trial comes up on
the 10th.
Mr.. White, though considerably
bruised up, will, it is hoped, be out
again in a short time. At this
writing, the exact extent of his inju-
ries cannot be determined.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform
themselves carefully alike of the action nt
their party throughout the country and
of the movements of their Republlcan
opponents. A failure to do this in 1876
contributed greatly to the loss by the
Democracy OF the fruits of the victory
fairly won at the polls.
The year 1880 promises to be one of
the most interesting and important years
of this croHded aud eventful century. 1t
will witness Il Presidential election which
may result 10 re-establishing the Govern
ment of this country OR the principles of
its constitutional founders, or in perms-
nen,ly changing the relations of the States
TO the Federal power. No Intelligent
man can regard such an election with in-
difference. The World, as the only daily
English newspaper published in the city
of New York which upholds the doc
trlnes Of constitutional Democracy, "il
steadily represent the Democratic party
in this great canvass 1t will do this IN
no spirit of servile p~artisanship, but tenn
perately and firmly. As a newspaper
The World, being the organ of no msn.
no clique and no interest. will present the
fullest and the fairest picture it can make
of each days passing history in the city.
the State. the country and the world. 1t
will aim hereafter, AS heretofore, st aceu-
racy FIRST Of all things in all that it pub
fishes. No man. however humble, shsil
eyer be permitted truly to complain that
he has been uniustly dealt with in the
columns of The World. No uterest
however powerful, shall ever be permit
ted truly to boast that it can silence tina
fair criticism of The World.
During the past year The World has
seen its daily circulation trebled and its
weekly circulation pushed far beyond
that of any other weekly newspaper in the
country. This great increase has been
won. as The World believes, by truthful.
ness. enterprise, eeaseless activity in col.
lecting news and unfaltering loyalty to
itself and to its readers in dealing with
the questions of the day. 1t is our hope
and it will be our endeavor that The
Worlds record for 1880 may be written in
the appreciation and the support Of maay
thousands more of new readers in all parts
of this Indissoluble Union of InJestructi-
bic States.
