A FARcE!- 1t is a pleasant but
fallacious theory than the machinery
of suffrage is a means Of ascertaIning
the popular will. Practically it 10 often
far otherwise. An ideal ~electin, on any
thing like a large scale, is an impos-
sibility. Our actual elections are vitiated,
to a greater or less degree, In the
first place. by the bribery corruption,
persuasion, intimidation or deception of
voters. While the voting is in progress
there are false rersonation, repeating and
other kinds OF fraud in the matter of de-
posting the ballots. When the polls are
closed there is false counting of the votes.
Then come doctored or forged returns. Not
infrequently there is a rascally revision by
by Returning Boards that additional falsi-
ies the supposed popular verdict. These
considerations are enough to show that the
presumed end of getting at the will of the
people is not really attained. Our plan,
however, of deciding who shall hold the
offices and what policies shall prevail is,
with all its imperfections and abuses, the
best rerhap. that could be devised. 1t
does not assure the success of the party
which is numerically the strongest, for a
minority has sometimes carried our nation
al elections, while our local contests very
often turn out adversely to the wishes OF
the majority. The comparatively modern
device of requiring only a plurality OF votes
to make a choice is of itself, so far rs ii
goes, an abandonment of the principle that
a majority should rule. The whole ques
ton IS. in fact, one Of mere convenience.
The system of frequent elections saves us
from the peril Of revolution. These cleo
tons are d method of etfecCing changes IN
the men who administer the government
and in the measures of administrative pol
icy. In practice they amount to but lttle
more than would the periodical drawing of
lots to see which side shall win, and the re
suits are equally fortuitous. Philadelphia

ROCKINGHAM SOUTH ITEMS Two
more prisoneIs-both colured escaped from
our County Jail on Saturday night. last
They forced their way through the iron
grating in the window of the cell in which
they were confined .--Whilst Mr.. Wal
ter F. L.. Steele and James r. LeGrand,
Esq, were crossing Mountain Creek bridge
near the Grassy Islands, on Sunday last in a
buggy, the bridge fell in, but fortunately
they escaped without injury. The buggy
was mashed up and the horse badly hurt,
which we believe was all the damage that
was sustained by the accident.--We re-
greet to learn that Mr.. VIM. Bowyer, Of
Marlboro. S. G., had both of his arms blown
off by the premature discharge of a cannon
at Bennettsville on last monday, and anoth-
er man, named McCoIl, at the same time,
had one OF his arms shot off.
