The Philadelphia Times quotes the "a
nous advice given by Gen. Dix early in
the war as to the treatment to be visited
upon persons who should attempt to pull
down the United States flag in New Or
leans. "Shoot them on the spot" said
Gen. Dix, and the Times gives the same
advice in effect in connection with the re-
peaters and roughs the Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, Marshall
Jewell, has dispatched to Florida to aid
in carrying this State for Garfield and
zoe echo The adoice. If the Republicans
can carry Florida by fair and honest
vote, SO be it but we warn them that the
methods adopted in Indiana WW not be
acQuiesced IN.
1t would be supposed that in State
where registration is qualification pre-
scribed by law as one Of the requisites to
constitute legal voter, it would be i'm
possible for non.residents or non-registered
persons to vote. This is a reasonable
superstition bnt when for psrtizan pur-
poses it has been decided that the vote Of
person is to be received who is willing
to swear that he has been registered and
that his name has been improperly stricken
off the registration list, it is not difficult
to understand sohy Jewell has dispatched
hundreds of scoundrels to Florida ex-
pressly to swear to any and everything
that may be required Of them preliminary
to voting. 1t is manifest that such q
construction of the law throws the ballot
box open to Wholesale fraud. It is pureile
twaddle to say that the persons who thus
swear in their votes may be afses7odrds
punished for perjury. "When the horse
has been stolen lock your stable door. {"
Catch your fish before you cook it. When
the State has been carried by the false
swearing in of votes, 60 for the pejurers
and punish them This is what it all
means but common sense condemns and
repudiates such election farces. The In
spectors are not puppets to sit still and
allow frauds TO be perpetrated under their
noses. They are custodians Of the ballot
box, and are false to their oaths, false to
their duties as citizens, il, under any CIR
csansssances, they permit an indiscriminate
swearing in of votes. Oaths can be had
by the score for fifty cents piece, and
theperjurers have simply to scatter them
selves to escape not arrest only, but PM
ishment, while the State may be lost
through such villsiny. Plainly, then, the
only safe course to be pursued q % 0sos

Mr.. JEWELS kilograms to Florida,
says the Nashville american, came out
Immediately after the announcement that
the Republicans would make vigorous
canvass in Florida; they followed too
closely upon that determination and are
too evidently part Of the plan to admit
Of explanation. They constitute part Of
the res gestOs and connect themselves too
closely with the previous announcement
to allow of any other explanation than
the obvious and natural one given by the
Democratic Committee. The denial and
explanation Of Mr.. Jewell are of no avail
with the public, because the public nat
urally expected Mr.. Jewell to attempt
some labored explanation and looked for
a falsehood Of some kind. Mr.. Jewell has
only succeeded in procuring for himself
the reputation Of a very clumsy promoter
Of fraud and very inartistic liar.

WE have confidence that the commit
tee of councils to revise the digest of mu-
nicipal law will perform that duty better
than it has been done heretofore. The
previous revisiOns were botches, as Law.
yers Shenk, McMullen and Franklin will
see at a glance. The mayor and Mr.
Zecher have practical experience OF
municipal affairs that will make their as
sistance of the legal members of the com
mission in the matter substantial, and il
the work is to be done it should be done
well and promptly.

Mr.. McMullen presented the following
resolution:
Be It resolved by the Select and Common
Councils ofhe city Of Lancaster:
That all petitions presented to said coun-
ellis, for grading, macadamizing, paving,
guttering, sewering, laying crossings or
other street work, shall be referred to the
street committee; which committee shall
at the next stated meeting of councils, re-
port on the necessity, expediency and
probable cost Of the work -petitioned for,
and that no work shall be ordered by coun-
ellis to be done in pursuance of any such
petition until such report of the street COM
mttee shall be acted upon.
President Leversoodappointed the men,
bers OF the several standing committees on
the part of common council. The COM
mlttees are published in full in the pro-
ceedlngs Of select council
After action on the various matters sent
over from select council, as reported
in the proceedings of that body, common
council edjourned.

THE Patriots objection to the unit
rule is good and valid; it's endorsement
of it is illogical and absurd. The unit
rule is tyrannical, unjust and un-Demo-
cratic, and should prevail neither in New
York nor Pennsylvania. The minorities
in both states have rights that the ma
jorities are bound to respect, and the Pa
triot is exactly right in its position that
the national convention ought not to
permit the delegation of any state to
vote as a unit unless it is actually a
unit" Ifthe New York Democrats act
otherwise they are unwise, but that is no
fault of ours and no reason why we
should follow their bad example. Penn
sylvania can afford to divide her vote
whether New YOrk does or not, and we
want it to be distinctly understood that
when the Lancaster county Democracy
send two delegates to Cincinnati they
expect them to vote there as representa-
tives of their constituents and not ac-
cording to dictation from Harrisburg,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie, or any,
where else.
