THERE is not respectable colored man
in Washington who will favor the election
of HANCocK-not one The Philadelphia
Times must revise its declaration to the
contrary, unless it intends to msrepresent

THE Hon. John T. WAIT of Norwich,
Conn, is doing valiant service in the Con-
necticut campaign for GAR FIELD and the
union cause. 1t is 10 be hoped that his
will return him to congress,
for he is among the most reliable and
of all his peers
ENGLISH of Connecticut seems TO be an
easy man to beat. He has run for the Office
of governor five times, and been. defeated
three times out of five. He has been beaten
twice by MARSHALL JEWELL and once by
General HAwLEY. This is the year in
which he will he defeated again, and don't
II you forget it.'
THE Charleston lcrcmN a straight.out
democratic paper, admits that the census
returns of South Carolina are suspicious.

that I'VE have had scarcely any addition to

thirtieth district. His constituents will
consult their true interests by return
ing him. That district may insist upon
the rule Of rotation, which will give the
nominee to another county, otherwise Mr.
VAN VooRHIs should be returned.
The Sunday IN. " Herald publishes the
horoscopes of Generals HANCOCK and GAR
FIELD. The figure for General GARFIELD
IS erected for the day of election, and that
of General HANCOCK for the day of his
birth. These were drawn by H. SAMAEL,
the Baltimore astrologist and the result
arrived at is that HANCOCK will get the
most votes, but GARFIELD will get the
presidential chair. "The stars fight against
"Sisera."
THE democrats secured the appointment
of supervisors and enumerators of the cen-
sus Of their own stripe, and are now charg-
ing republican administration with the re-
sponsibility of the frauds their emissares
have perpetratcd. If none but republicans
had been appointed to take the census
there would have been some guarantee of
its honesty, but mixed commission affords
divided responsibility, under which the
perpetrators of the frauds and their incters
hope to escape. The administration has
the power of revision and correction, and il
it fails to exercise that rigidly then the re-
sponsibility will be its own.
SOME time ago SENATOR VOORHEES, re-
ported that there was no demand for negro
labor in Indiana, and that negroes could
only have been brought to that state fol
! political purposes. Now the indianapolis
Journal records the fact that the largest
body of negroes ever brought into the state
have just arrived in Mr. VOORHEES, owr
county to work in the coal mines. Poll
tics had nothing to do with their importa
ton, as their employer is strong demo
cIat. He seems TO need negro labor Nn(
has procured it, but he will be in danger o
ostracism by good democrats for having i'm
ported it previous to the election.

THE Louisville Corier.JOurNal is borrow
ing heap of trouble over what Nigh

scarcely occur if the C.J did not regar
