pie took supper there last night, and
this morning understood six dray
loads of untouched provisions We're
distributed among the poor.
1t was near eleven o'clock when the
hall was cleared of benches and chairs
and the dancing commenced to the
music of the string band. A colored
prompter was called into requisition
and the fun commenced in earnest,
and was kept up till daylight.
To say that the whole affair was Il
grand success would but feebly ex-
press the feeling of the participants.
All seemed to enjoy it, and ali went
home apparently well satisfied.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the ladies of this pace for the great
aid they rendered the sir Knights to
make this, their first public installa-
ton, one of pleasurable enjoyment.
The ceremony of installation, the
supper, and grand ball whi9h followed,
the loveliDess and beauty Of the ladies
whose charming manners and hand
some dresses rendered them admirable,
coupled with the obliging kindness of
of the gentlemen having charge of
the entertainment bespeak well for
Crystal Springs, her population and
gallant Knights. PAP.

THE ELECTION LAWS

Though the time for the election IL
distant, we deem II not improper thus
early 20 call the attention of our peo-
pie, and especially Of our brethren of
the press, and of members Of the State
and county committees, to the provls-
ions of our new election law. They
wi be found in the published acts of
the last Legislature, and are quite
stringent in their terms. They pro-
vide, in short that all ballots which
do not comply with the form pre-
sclibed as to size, color and character
of the paper, should be rejected in the
count. We invoke careful reading
of, and compliance with the law, upon
the part of those charged with the
preparation of the tickets to be used
by our party, and even at this distant
day we call upon them to faniliarize
themselves thoroughly with the re-
quiremcnts OF the Act. Much oblec-
ton has been made to the law by II
portion of the press, and some of our
contemporaries have been quite severe
in their denunciation of it, and inn
piled V of those who adopted it.
Without undertaking to decide upon
its wisdom in advance of actual oper
alton it should be known that it is
the work, not of the distinguished jul
rist who prepared the Code, but of
a special committee of three able law
yers that it was after crreful scrutiny
almost unanimously approved by the
Code Committee of fifteen. Among
whom were such men as Reynolds,
Featherston, Andrews, Humphreys
and King, and upon their report it
passed by both houses without serious
opposition. Itshould be further known
that it is copied Uerbdtim ct Hterdtjm
from the revised statutes of Ohio, and
that laws substantially similar to it
are found on the statute books of many
of the States. The Legislature of
New York, at its recent session passed
an Act more specific in the form of
ticket prescribed, and Mddc tie circu-
1atiOn or use Of any other kind Of
Hckct an mdictdble 0tenSe, punishd-
Die by fine and Imprisonment.
The obvious purpose of these laws
is to preserve inviolnte the secrecy of
the ballot-boX and by requiring all
tickets to be exactly similar in appear
ance to effectually destroy all chance
of knowing how any particular per-
son has voted. These precautions
have been found both wise and neces-
sary at the North, and may be found
equally salutary with us. They will
at once prevent Captains of clubs and
leagues from forcing their followers
to deposit the tickets placed in their
hands, and bulldozers who hang
around the polls from prosecuting the
voter who quietly suppresses the
ticket which has been forced into his
hand, and replaces it with one more
to his liking. That these are worthy
and commendable objects all will adj
nit. Let Us wait and see how the
scheme will work before denouncing
those who thought that laws which
were deemed as essential elsewhere,
might be advantagcously adopted
bnrn

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

We call special attention to the very
important case of State of Mississippi
as. ". II. Harvey ct al. published in
The COMET to-day. Owing to the
many questions involved, all of which
are of great interest to the profession,
and the able manner in which they
are disposed of by the Court, through
Chief Justice George, it is thought best
to give the opinion in full. 1t is our
purpose to give full and complete alb
stracts of all decisions embracing any
question of interest, whether ordered
to be reported in the Supreme Court
Reports or not, and when cases arise
settling principles so important as
those contained in the Harvey case,
we will publish them in full.

Mr. Bayard's Speech.

AT ratification meeting, Mr.. Bay
ard, the true man and the grand
statesman, spoke as follsws. His
words are golden, and deserve to be
committed to memory by every
schoolboy in the land:
Ifyou ask why we put in nomination a
soldier, will tell you Because that man
has proved that the good God gave to him
the same characteristics of self-conrol and
COINCIDENCE that he gave to the great Wash
ington. Since the world was, nothing has
been 80 dangerous to society and man as
the love of power in the hearts of men.
When military power of the most absolute
kind was in the hands of Hancock, what
was his course, in comparison with that of
the other military governors whom YOU can
recollecty When in Louisiana and Texas
he was asked to arrest men, he asked
where Is your Judicial process! When |
asked to restrain liberty or property. he |
asked for law to warrant it. When he |
was asked to try men bymilitary tribunals. |
he pointed out the courthouse with their |
judges and jury boxes. Who else, placed |
with such power in his hands, has refused /
10 exercise II! lie SAID he was a citizen.
and held his right as such higher than his /
power as a soldier. Compare this with fine
course Of that general who asked permis-
sion to outlaw the people of Louisiana.
Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia.
and the reply Of Belknap, then secretary
of war, who said he approved of such
course.
The logic Of the election Of Hancock.
Judging Of his own past, would be to place
The civil power above the military, Ifas
major general. is it likely he would do 30
Is presidentg IL you say Hancock is
soldier, say aye, and true one. But he
5 more he is 4 citizen who values his
lights a. such above his power a. a soldier.
With Hancock a. president, the liberties ,
4 this country are safe. We do not take
i'm because he Is a military man, hut be- !
ause he Il a good citizen.
Mr.. Bayard closed by saying "The
Outh by their votes at Cincinnati have !
royed, and by their vote in November
III prove, their love for the man who has
cen true to the Union and the cOnstitu- Q
the country. II a man who can turn

GREENABAcKERs IN COUNCIL.

The Grand Sachems and shining
lights of the Observation-Disclosures party
met in this city on Wednesday, 18th
inst. The only business of Importance
transacted by them was the subscrip-
ton of funds to purchase material
for the establishment of an organ to
be run in the interest of the party.
Three or four hundred quires of green
paper have been ordered, and the
State will be flooded with copies of
the "Rag-Baby Bugler." We are in
formed by some of the party managers
that they will make a big fight during
the present campaign.

publicans to be a very narrow fun.
dation for presidential honors.
1t Is brief but not narrow. It the
distillation Of every attribute of Amer.
lean citizenship. 1t is compend Of
American liberty regulated by law,
A mental power that possesses such an
alembic is not unworthy the chief
magistracy of this Union and will re.
spond to the demands of any crisis.
The decalogue is brief and yet it
answers in every hemisphere every
want in life or death. He who IN
scribes it upon his heart and makes
his daily walk and conversation
beautiful conformity becomes fit fol
the companiOnship of the angels and
his God.
Power is grasping and Unsuitable
and hung like ripe frlit Ieady to fall
into the hands of our great and noble
chief, and yet he turned away 'front.'
as did another great historic character
from crown.
His soul was surfeited with strife
and blood and the pageantry of thegOd
of war.
He did not sigh for the continued
domination of military power, moi /
wish for RI o L~aedinS spirit OF eonft
sion and anarchy in order thatpIuu-
der might thrive and fatter.
He knelt reverently at the shFined
civil authority and law, and opened
the folds OF the white flag of peace and
gave it to the fetterless winds.
Compare him with the era and the
circumstances in which this splendid
civil record was made up-compare
him with any or all of his conlrade
military district commanders com,
pare him with any private citizen OF
official, and you will listen in vain for
any voice save his that said to the
waves of passion, "Peace be still
You will look in vain TO the million Of
men in uniform and under arms to
find any other pane save that of Gen
w. S. Hancock who confined the mil
itary power to the maintenance ofthe
federal union, and that accomplished
proclaimed that 1.-THE great principles
of American liberty still are the inhert
lance of this people and ever should
be.u

NEW ORLEANS has number Of ell
thusiastic colored Hancock clubs.
There are colOred Hancock clubs
in Richmond, Charleston, Mobile
and Georgia. This is as it should
be. Hancock foughgt as CALAMITY
as amy man in the Union army
for the liberation of the colored
man. He fought then, and has
fought since for the liberty of all men.
He is, in "a peculiarly forcible sense,
the champion of personal rights and
liberty without regard to race or party,
and therefore it is fitting that colored
men should thus recognize his great
services to them as well as to their
white fellOw-citiZens

Mr. w. III. Thompson, of the Bran
don Record, has obtained leave of
absence for a jaunt to Southern Texas
He says his business is of purely
private nature, and he hopes, will not
detain him long. We have not heard
of any visit to "Southern Texas
from the editor of the Holmes County
Times, but should not be surprised if
there was a coincidence of absences
from the chiefs of these two papers
1t may be, however, that the editor of
the Record has gone to Texas merely
to lay in stock of mustang ponies or
to buy few leagues of wild lands
with a view of starting a ranch.

GEN. a. l.. PEARSON, long recog-
nized as one Of the Republican leaders
Of Pittsburg, Pa, and who was a
warm supporter Of Grant at Chicago,
has announced his determination to
support Hancock. Gen. Pearson was
a prominent Major General in the late
war, and is a MAJ: of strong influence.
At a great meeting Of the Democrats
i'm Greensburg, Westmoreland county,
Gen Pearson was present and made a
rOusiRg speech in which he declared
his confidence that Hancock would
carry Pennsylvania and be over
whelmingly elected. He was salts
fed that all the old soldiers Of the
Keystone State would vote for a man
who was both soldier and states
and who had never dirtied his hands
with any pavement job or Credit
Mobilier scandal.
And thus moves the ball in the
great State Of William Penn.
