FREEING THE BALLOT.

That which adult Democrats most long for and which children born with Democratic tendencies cry most continuously and vehe- has listened to or read the speeches of Demo- cratic orators or the proceedings of Demo- cratic conventions knows the profound anxie- ty of the party lest the ballot should go into bondage, and it's deep-seated and perennial determination to prevent such a catastrophe as long as possible, and if it must happen to deliver the ballot as speedily as possible and resentative Democrats and Democrat ic conventions declared, with much and appropriate solemnity, that 'eThe right to free ballot is a right pre- servative of all rights and must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States" /" This declaration was repeated at the Cincinnati convention, and both the assembled joined in it.
 Passing by the minor efforts of Northern Democrats to keep the ballot entirely free, it is worth while to see what Southern Demo- crats have accomplished by their vigorous work in behalf of right which they feel to be preservative of all rights. The Boston Journal furnishes some figures to illustrate the marked accord of Democratic practice with Democratic profession in this matter Before the last Presidential election Alabama passed under Democratic rule The follow ing table shows the votes of a few counties in the State before and after the change:
Morning journal and courier., 1880-07-12


 This list might be continued until it should include half the parishes of the State, but the above will suffice. The wonderful results in- dicated by the above figures were brought about until last year by organized violence. Last year the Democrats had the counting of the votes. How well they remembered their duty towards 6 free ballot is shown in the above parishes. where a Republican vote of more than 13, 800 and Republican majority of more than $500 in 1876 was changed in 1879 to Republican vote of less than 700 and a Democratic majority of over II 900.
 In the midst of the dangers which threaten the ballot it is cheering to look over such 8 record of achievements in it's defense as this, and to be assured by the party which has made it that .sThe right to free ballot is a right preservative of all rights and must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States"

Rev. MT. Pruddenls Sermon Yesterday
 Morning.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It was the privilege of your correspondent to listen yesterday, in the Davenport church of this city to young man formerly of New Haven, and who has many friends living here but who has been for the past few years set tied in Lansing Michigan. It was with more than usual interest that the writer left his usual seat in the Church of the Redeemer to attend upon this service, and if you will all low me I will give a few points of the ser mon preached by Mr. Prudden yesterday morning, from Proverbs ix: 12-''If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for myself, but if thou soonest, thou alone shalt bear it. He began by saying little Red Riding Hood lost her life by not discerning between the wolf and her grandmother, and Eve her first es- tate by the voice of the serpent com ing as a friend. Some goods, seemingly, are not goods at all, and those that may seem friends are not friends at all. If we could see the wolf in the company we keep, in the books we read or in the amusements we attend there would be less danger, but it is difficult to learn, except at the expensive school of experience. There is little doubt but what ones best friend is himself In the 14th and 18th centuries the Italians thought they could fight battles only with hired sol diers but it worked their ruin, and they af- forwards learned that their bravest men were of their own country. Again, we should look to ourselves in business. Some say if some one would only advance me the necessary capital, or if only had the ability of Mr. A or MT. B, then I could succeed when the. fact is, no one thing can aid so much as our own selves. The best man is he who can use himself, for the thoughts of others cannot make us use- full. Steady, patient industry, courage and application open the door of wealth. In the time of Moses men were commanded to gather mama, each for himself not by friends. Little things, matters done in private as well as in public, the payment of just debts, are things of honor Whoever can keep himself from evil and who can talk in society about something else besides politics or his own business is the one whom we like to meet, no matter if he does not wear the richest clothes. Few people are required to hold the place of fancy dish, good only for its beauty, but he who can teach us the beautiful is what we want. No one can fence off the trials of life, but meet them and overcome them. Let self close the saloon door and it is closed. Let self depart from temptation and 1t will not harm you John said, tsWhosoever hateth his brother is a murderer.'' The sin is in the thought as much as in the deed. Now who can help us in this governing of ourselves ? Who can bring home the sProdiga1 Son ?''. Can some evangelist or some Young Mems Ohristians Association Can sermons or

books Of course we know who can but who can Christ enter our hearts unless we bid him enter We have the verdict of the Judgment Day. in our hands. We selves must get ready, for no friend can then take our place.
 MT. Prudden then cited the case of the Manhattan bank robbery in Illustrating his text, and noticed also how man can rise in this country from the position of a canal boat driver to nominee for President of the United States, and closed with these remarks: If we are ruined, we shall ruin ourselves. Blessed is he who is good to himself. It has been the longing of all nations to find pro- tector, but we have the word that God so loved the world that He gave His on1y-begot- ten son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have eternal life. ,"
 Not only was the discourse an excellent one in words, but the speaker being possessed of a fine voice, made it the more agreeable to be listened to- and we wish him yet greater success in his chosen field in the Vest

The ballot has been set entirely free in Mississippi and remains so. In 1872 the Republican majority in the State was 34, S87. In 1876, under the ''shot gun policy,'' the Democratic majority was 49,56s. A year later the Republicans saw that it was no use for them to continue their conspiracy to en- slave the ballot and they made no nomination.
 We will call attention to the success of the Democratic defenders of free voting in an- other State, which would be Republican next November if the ballot were not so free there. The election officers in Louisiana were Democratic in 1879 for the first time The following returns show what they were able to accomplish:

 The sweetest girl of all know
 Is charming Fanny Hall;
 The widest at a husking,
 The gayest at ball
 Her cheek is like Jersey peach,
 Her eye is blue and clear,
 And her lip is like the
 In the autumn of the year.
 Canova never made a hand
 Like hers plump and fair
 Poor Raphael had been crazed with her
 Madonna brow and hair; Could see her he would grieve
 To find romping Yankee girl
 Had beaten Mrs. Eve.
 There's not blemish in her form,
 No fault about her face
 Sit down and gaze from morn till night
 You'll find her perfect grace;
 And then, to finish all, her voice
 From the sweetest birds in spring
 You couldn't tell it's warble; but
 SsShe doesn't know 8 thing"

From the above it will be seen that in Bar bour county the ballot was made and kept so free by Democratic election officers and oth- CT agencies that in six years the Republican vote was reduced from 2,756 to IS, and in Greene county it was reduced in four years from ?, 2,516 to ?, and so on.

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practice in New

 New Haven. Dr. LighthilI takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the consid- eratiOn of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox, an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience

A Happy Experience. (From the Journal and Courier, July 1O)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. IghthilIs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July g.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to eonsid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience One of Dr. LghthilTs pa tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is SO well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skepticI of the fact that he is a master of his profession.

For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness Catarrh aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so efectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riabIs be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthilTs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience

 Some of the Hudson river pilots have been talking sense. They say the ifeboat system is all a farce on Sound and river steamboats You cannot lower them, and if you do they are never plenty enough. The best ideas were that every chair and every settee should be itself of easy floating material and have a life preseryer attached to it, and that mattresses should be of cork. The main reliance, "fhe only system worth anything" they called it, is that of life rafts, and there is no doubt these are the best of all safety appliances and should be much plentier than they are.
