ENGLISH ELECTION MANNERS.

American candidates occasionally have hard
time of it in few quarters in which the laws are
for while silent, but as q general rule the man
who with us aspires to the suffrages of his fellow
citizens runs no risk Of having his head broken or
his clothes torn from him. In enlightened England
it seems to be otherwise. and especially so in Scot
land and Ireland.
During the late canvass there were disturbances
at Newcastle Chester and Derby, but these were
but mild differences of opinion compared with the
violences at Wick Burghs. for instance, where Dir.
Fender was in danger of being drowned by the
Kirkwallers, who, after taking his horses from his
carriage. q common compliment, tried to run the
vehicle. with the candidate In It, into the sea- Ii
the carriage had not stuck the aspirant for seat
in the House of Commons might have been drowned.
When it did stick these free and independent cleo
tors smashed the windows and Mr.. Penders hat.
Mr.. Fender made pathetic speech out OF the car
rage, begging that he might not be murdered.
This so affected the Kirkwallers that they were
ready to do anything for him except vote for him,
which thoy seem to have resolutely refused to do.
Mr.. Parnelps sufferngs at Enniscorthy have been
heretofore mentioned. Gallant Wexford had
changed its mind altogether about MIR. Parnell.
He was not o candidate there. but he had carried
down his men. and these men the electors refused
TO accent. They did more. They disabled the hat
of Mr.. Parnell. They caught him i'll an insulting
manner by the legs. They tore his neither garments
n there had mt been a Rev. Joseph Murphy. who
enreated the crowd to be lenient there is no know
ing what might have happened to Mr.. Parnell. In
fact breaches Of the peace to BIO an inevitable
concomitant Of British elections.
We sometimes have affairs Of tho sort In this
country, though not often. and then all tho ready
men of the British newspaper press write uncoln-
plimentary leaders about M, and expatiate upon
the horrible outcome Of democracy. Nobody can
deny that. as a rule. elections are conducted In
quite M far and orderly way in Amorlea as In
Great Britain; but that does not prevent the ignO-
rant and prejudiced from incorporating us in
newspapers, IA speeches and in quarterly reviews.
Well, We can bear it il they can.

The Ani-Tammany Democrats in this city
and the Regular Democracy in Kings County
did violence yesterday to Mr.. Tilden's desire
for private life by electing Tilden delegates to
Syracuse.
A ruffian who insulted several ladies who
were coming out Of q downtown church and
struck one of them, pays the penalty of six
months imprisonment. The curbstone young
man who merely stands in front of churches and

something might proftably be done to him too.

Constitution admitting women to the right

but Senator Halbert defended the amendment
and moved that it be reported to the Committee
of the Whole. This motion was defeated only
by q vote of II to Is, showing the Senate to be

The Massachusetts Courts have ordered the
payment of probably the largest price ever
given for a human leg except perhaps where
it was lost on the field of battle and the owner
took the question into politics. A Chicago
travelling salesman was SO injured by rail
road accident that his leg was amputated' and
he obtained JUDGMENT against the Company
for $4,000. The Company naturally ap-
pealed, and the second verdict was for
$4,000 another appeal resulted in the new
verdict, which is for $4,000. And still the
Company is not satisfied. motion is to be
made TO set aside the damages on the ground
that they are excessive, and there is posi-
blity that the court may so decide. The power
to do so has been exercised in some cases,
though it is difficult to see why this is one The
fact that no such damages have been given be-
fore in case of the kind is not proof that
such damages should not be given, to teach
railroads economy in accidents.

Interesting revelations were made in a recent

are used in New York City as adulteratinC

manufacturer of chemicals, was witness
He furnishes three tons of Sulphuric acid

ratio and nitric acid enter largely into the
process OF extracting the sugar from corn.
The process rOts the timbers out of the factc-

stantly at work making repairs. 1t also eats
the machinery. Mr.. Nichols is member OF
the firm Of Nichols Il Co.. who are agents of
the Buffalo company, selling Its products on
commission. They sell on an average $780,
600 worth OF grape sugar and glucose month
in New York and Brooklyn, their orders av.
eraging from one to thirty car loads a day

light of the republican nominations so ial
as 1t Is more than mere senseless fust,an ant
rhodomontade, is simply an audacious sneel
at public morality; and the republican candl
dates appear to have been chosen for the eX
press purpose OF compelling the voters OF tht
republican party distinctly to lndorse and ap
prove the lnlqulties which have driven SO
many OF its members from its ranks. Or in
what other sense is James A. Garfield offered
to US as the representative o. republican dctcs
tation OF bribery and corruption, and Chester
a. Arthur IL an index OF republican enthusi-
asm and civil service reform,
The nomination Of General Hancock, how.
ever, is not only lit AS grateful recognition
OF his merits, but is peculiarly ausplClOus IN
view OF the eXigenClcs OF the time. 1t Is the
most trustworthy assurance that the results Of
the late war are at least as safe IN the keeping
OF democratic MS in that of republican ad.
ministratlon And what is equally important,
1t is an augury of the restoration of peace and
good will among all the citizens of this Union.
The men Of the south who once bore arms
against the Union have not only laid them
down, but they have renewed their allegiance
10 our common country with demonstrations
of affection whose very sadness IS the best
proof Of their sincerity. They have for years
been struggling against the disorders neCes-
sarily consequent upon the complete subver-
sion of their social and industrial system and
the misortuncs cntailed upon them by the
war-mlsiortuues which certainly have not
been allcviated by the practices Of majority
of the men who came to the southern states as
the agents and representatives OF the republi.
can party. And | cannct conceive anything
more despicable than the attempt of certain
republican politicians who aspire to the high
est hOnors and trusts of the republic to iabr-
cate partisan capital by constant reference
to the inevitable incidents to the reorganiza-
ton of our southern communities as evidence
of the continued disloyalty Of the whole south
crn people, With the election Of Hancock all
this will come to Il speedy end. The insane
voClteratiOn about the solid south" will be
sIlcnCed, and | am not without hope that ut
the presidential election in 1884 we shall have
two parties at the south rs well AS at the north,
whose lines Of division are no longer those of
color or Of race. j. b. SThILo |
