THE New York Herald continues to warn
the republicans that If Governor CORNELL
should call together the legislature to
change the method of choosing electors in
New York the results would be disastrous
to GARFIELD's chances in other states. II
the Herald really believed this it would be
anxious to see the republicans make such Il
blunder We do not believe that Governor
CORNELL has seriously thought of the
scheme. We do not believe he thinks it
necessary to republican success. He doubt
less thinks that the popular vote will give
GARFIELD the whole thirty-fve votes of
the state, and that TO change the mode OF
choosing the electors would be to give away
ten or twelve district votes to HANCOCK.
But we take no stock in the Herdlds warn
ings. The republicans. in other states are
not so thin-skinned. Tho scheme would
make the democrats awfully mad, but GAR

SOUTHERN brigadiers and northern cop
perhends congratulate one another upon
the disappearance of the bloody shirtn be-
cause HANCOCK is made the peculiar nomi-
nee of the solid south. We fail to see any
greater guarantee Of justice and loyalty in
the acceptance Of HANCOCK by the south
in 1880 than there was in the acceptance
of GREELEY in 1872 by the same people
The Mississippi plan was invented after
the southern democrats had swallowed
GREELEY with apparent relish and with
even greater gusto than has been displayed
in the case Of HANCOCK. Louisiana can
count hundred outrages and murders as
immedia tely succeeding the acceptance ol
an old abolitionist rs a standard bearer

THE supreme court of Wisconsin has de-
cided that the registry law passed last year
is unconstitutional, on the ground that
every "elector possessing the qualifications
is invested with the constitutional right
to vote at any election in this state, \
"and no act of the legislature can impair,
change, add to or ahridge them" This is
very important decision, and will be
sweeping in its effects if it is sustained by
the United States supreme court. There
has always been room to doubt the value
of registry laws. Adopted to prevent, il
possible, fraudulent voting, they have
in some places become the most ready
means Of facilitating it and of throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of the legal voter The
hest class of citizens are with difficulty in-
duced to go TO the polls on election day
but it is even more difficult to get them to
attend to their registration. The annoy
ance to them is doubled by the registry

election of TILDEE, our credit improved, so,
should the chances Of the success of the
democratic party become assured, our
financial stability would weaken.
The announcement that HANCOCK, as
the representative of the democratic party,
was elected, would have the most wither-
ing effect upon the business interests of the
country. Our national credit would depre-
ciate, gold would assert its supremacy the
greenbacS currency would droop and falter,
the stock market would be stricken with
financial paroxysms, our bonds would decline
in the money marts Of the world, and the
public confidence, so essential to our very
existence, and which has been restored by
the republican party, would assume the
unfortunate position it occupied while the
democratic party, in and out of congress-
was endeavoring to destroy thegovernment
THE latest fright the democrats have.had
arises from the rumor that General HAM
COCK is about to resign the Office of major
general of the army of the United States

of the democratic conleds would be lost

down the sign of the union maior.gencral

and there would be nothing left of it in the

ballot-box stulling, false counts and its
general character tor corruption, outrage
aud barbarity. 70 hide these if possible,
n union maior.general has been put at the
head of the column, and it is not strange
that it is regarded rs an unwise act for the
general TO lay aside his army trappings
and stand before the country in the light
Of All American statesman only. This
would be like plucking the plumage from
the American eagle and hanging his un-
seemly anatomy up TO view rs an object Of
admiration. No, this will never do. Gem
eral HANCOCK, with his military trappngs
and glory, must be kept between the Amer
can people and the diabolical character and
record of the party of treason and rebellion
to hide its atrocities and deceive and mis-
lead the public judgment. 1t would really
be an unwise act for the democratic party
20 dispense with its chief deception in this

all these benefits the landowners picked
technical flaws in the levee bonds, refused
to levy the tax to pay the interest, fought
the bonds in the courts of Illinois and
finally left the levee in such condition
that no one was authorized to keep it in

THERE will not be so much sympathy
for the owners of land deluged by the
breaking of the Sny levee in Illinois when
it is known that the levee was built with
money raised by the sale of 100000 in
bonds, which bonds have been practically
epudiated by the owners of the reclaimed
lands. About 100000 acres of bottom
land subject to annual overflow by the
Mississippi were protected by the levee and
raised in value from few dollars per acre
to rs high rs $40 per acre. After receiving

IT is rather amusing at this time to see
the mud-machines OF the democratic party
cover their machinery and filth with a
drapery of innocence and play meekness
and purity. Have they got out of mud, or
do they begin to learn that such expedents
don't pay? Whatever the cause, they now
throw up the sponge and put on an air OF
decency. This is admirable. May it last
for more than day. We now have double
loaded assurances that no defense is to be
interposed for General HANCOCK. This
must be comforting to the general, for q de-
tense from such party as he has allied
himself with is equivalent to IN indictment
by the grand jury.

by his enemies affecting the personal or
official integrity OF General GARFIELD has
been crushed into the earth under the heel
Of investigation and truth. Each and
every one presented has been carefully in
vestigated and scrutinized, and the unvary-
ing judgment of friend and foe, under the
influence of common candor, has excul-
pated him from any guilt that would mar
the character of the strictest integrity and
honor The reiteration Of an exploded and
crushed calumny amounts to nothing ex-
cept to create disgust with thinking, can

AN alleged cable dispatch is now pre-
scnted to the public over the name of JERE
BLACK, which has for its purpose to deny
that the aforesaid BLACK was the author of
General HANCocK's order No. 40 and his
intrigues in behalf of the conlederates of
the south when he held military control
there. A cable of that character does not
have to be transmitted by electricity. It
is easily manufc tured here, and without
the knowledge of the putative author.
This is but one of the cxpedients of desper-
alton. There are others of kindred char
acter which will be injected into the can
vass by desperate party before the contest
is over.

The democratic organ should revise its
editorials. In one of them yesterday it
asserted that Yirginia's vote was not neces-
sary to the election OF HANCOCK, there be-
ing $50 for him without Yirginia's eleven.
In the next column the division of the
democratic vote in Virginia between the
Teadiuster elector ticket and that of the
regulars is denounced as suicidal" and a
wild call is made for Il compromise, which
will save the state to the democracy. The
truth is, if Virginias vote should be sub
tracted from the democratic possibilities all
hone for HANCOCK would be abandoned.
Under no possible set Of circumstances can
HANCOCK lose vote IN the solid south and
win.

TT is the easiest thing in the world for a
mud-throwing democratic journal to be-
come suddenly cOmplacent and declare that
ii will not defend General HANCOCK when
nobody has assailed or proposes to assail
him personally or as warrior. His con-
nection with wicked, reasonable and
seditious party is the point of attack, and
it is an impossiblity to defend him in that
relation, hence those who would, if they
could, interpose a successful defense, quietly
fold their hands, confess judgment and tell
the public that they do not propose to de-
hnd General HANCOCK, This is no doubt
The part Of wisdom, for they cannot possibly
defend the record of their party.
