the assessment lists are posted in the
respective wards, and then go and see II
your name is on the list. Ifit is not op
then go to the collectors at 602t Market
street, and see II it is on either of the
collectors duplicates. If it is, there
will be small tax to pay. Pay it,
taking the collectors receipt, and then
you will be in proper trim for voting
for President next November. If
your name is neither on the assessment
list hung up in the wards, nor on the
collectors duplicates, then you are not
assessed. In that case procure your
voucher aud go before the assessor at
the City Hall on the last Saturday in
January when your name will be put

be assessed to you by the Levy Cour.
which meets in February and March you
will be entitled to vote. But remem.

The DAN VOORHEES, negro exod MS
committee was organized last Friday
and witnesses are to be examined at
Washington, before the committee starts
South on its mission of investigation.
The whole thing is for the purpose OF
making political capital to BIZ used in
the Presidential campaign and is
another way to spend the peoples
money, and furnish recreation for the
distinguished chairman of the commit
tee. But not withstanding the farce il
calling such a committee, it is hoped
new that it is appointed and in work
ing order that the bottom facts in tn.
negro exodus matter will be brought
out, and the abuse and wrongs suffered
by the negro from the Southern bull
dozers be fully exposed. The commit
tee cannot fail to be a great blessing to
humanity if it will make an honest in
vestigation, and r"port the same to
Congress. The country at large would
like to hear Of these reported in qui-
ties "oficially" and then lot RENE ~
b. applied.

The CONCENTRATION of Russian troops
in Poland is regarded by Austria and
Germany as a menace, and these pow
-rs intimate significantly that they will
adopt defensive measures if their pro-
test is disregarded. There is good sense
as we'll as keen satire in the suggestion
Of M. Gambetta's organ, the "Repub-
Iique Francaise," that Russia had bet
ter attend to her internal affairs, and
give up the notion Of running out doors
and setting other peoples houses on
fire while she has a contiagration to ex-
tinguish in her own domestic edifce.

Presidential Electors.

A bill has been introduced in tn,
New York Legislature providing for the
election Of Presidential electors In Con.
gressional Districts, leaving two electors
to be voted for throughout the State.
This plan will lead to division of the
electoral vote in that State: the city
where there are thousands of fraudu
lent votes cast at every election, al
ways going Democratic, and a majority
OF the country districts going Republi.
can. We suppose the electors would
stand by the proposed plan about 20
Republicans and l3 Democrats, which
would efectually prevent the Democratic
party from electins a President with
the aid they may get from New York,
even with the united support of the
solid South. Made up as a large por
ton OF the city is of vagabonds who
constitute the majority given to the
Democratic party, we think honest men
without regard to party attachments,
will favor a change Of the present sys-
tenn. and If the citizens of the South
we're permitted to vote as they wish, We
'hsuld favor the adoption of the dis
'rict plan by every State in the Union.

That bribery.

The statement that an attempt was
made to bribe certain members Of the
Maine Legislature to get them to stay
away from the meeting and break the
quorum, is not we'll taken and has a
very fshy look upon its face. The
time when the bribes were said 10 have
been offered should have been several
days earlier to effect the result intend
ed. The report as it now stands loses
oil claim to plausibility, since there
could be no object in bribing mem bers
to remain away in order to prevent
quorum, when 1t was we'll known at
the time these bribes are said to have
been offered that a sufficient number
had positively declined to accept the
certificates of membership offered by
Garcelon. These persons had publicly
proclaimed that under no circumstances
would they accept the bogus certificates,
They were men who were well known,
and would do as they said. Then why
should any ore have considered it neces-
sary to offer brides to accomplish that
what was already accomplished Taking
it for granted that there are men in that
State who are corrupt enough to offer
brides to weak Democrats, it must sp-
pear to thinking men that they would
be too sharp to waste money in pur-
chase when not needed. The story of
bribery no doubt will be found to be one
that was "cooked up'' for a purpose,
and the authors have Overreaohed
themselves. The managers of the Maine
swindle found themselves in q predica
ment from which they desire to escape,
and are compelled to resort to these
devices. The investiga- j.,
tion to be made into the bribery GASES,
will, it is quite evident, show that
those who cry fraud are frauds the m !:
selves. Time makes all things even
and it will not be many days before the ,
whole bubble will be prioked, and the
truth made known.

Republican Harmony.

The Republican party is displaying
a commendable spirit in treating the
question of the next Presidential nomi-
nation. The claims of the various can
didates are discussed in q generous
way, and disposition is shown to lay
aside individual preferences, and SO
prevent the growth Of animosities and
heart -burnings. This has not, however,
hindered the free expression of opinion,
but it has been done in such q concil-
iating way as to indicate that every one
is willing to subordinate his wishes to
the good of the party and the country.
From present appearances the three
principal candidates named for the
Presidency are about equal in strength.
Neither one of them is likely to get the
nomination without striving vigorously
for it. But however earnest NAV be
the contest, there will not, probably be
any bitterness left behind when the
has been made. If the
Democrats are looking to Republican
divisions to aid them in the next Prssi.
lential contest they will look in vain,
FJr the Republican party il too wise to
iivide its forces 80 long as the Demo-
,ratic party threatens TO disturb the
peace and prosperity of the country.

WORK For rho superx,sor..

There will be something more for the
supervisors of assessment to look after
than the mere putting Of the names oi
voters upon the assessment lists. 1t
will be an important duty for them to
sss that the names Of voters are prop
srly spelled and the initial letter ofthe
middle name be not omitted. Hun
dreds of voters have been refused their
tax receipts simply because there was
some little error in the spelling of the
name or because some unimoortant let
ter had been omitted. 1t has been
charg ID, but we will not vouch tor the
truth OF the report, that clerks were em
ployed to transcribe the names of vo-
ters into the tax duplicates, notorious
for their bad orthography, and that
when the names appeared upon the tax
duplicates they were very different
from what they were when given to the
assessor. Thomas James for instance
would be changed to James Thomas; an
" e'' would be added to the name of
Clark, and names where double con-
sonants were required would appear
with a single consonant. Any little
trifing error we hesitate to say pur-
posely made served for an excuse TO re-
fuse tax receipt before the election,
hut afte. the election was over the
name was good enough even with the
error for the demanding OF the tax, es-
pecially if the voter was property !,
holder. This is one Of the important
.hings the supervisors will have to look
after. They must preserve lists Of the
voters properly spelled that are put on
he assessment aud then no natter how
hey are mispelled on the tax duplicate
hey will be entitled to vote. Lst the
uparvisors see that the names are
'ropelly spelled. This is very impor-
ant.
