Gen. Mahone's cry in the Senate is
for a free vote and fair ballot. To the
PEOPLE. in this section, 1t is surprise
For fair ballot, we think no county in
the United States can show better
record than Shenandoah. Every man,
from the humblest negro to the wealth
| lest capitalist, can at every election de-
post his vote as to him seems best.
Judges and commissioners of election
| have at all times counted the votes
fairly and honestly. In Virginia the
count is as fair as in any State in the
Union. Gen Mahone's cry for q fair
count is a reflection upon the people
whom he processes to represent.
Another favorite expression Is q
priceless suffrage; in PLAIN English. q
demand that every man shall vote
whether he has paid any tax or not
| The doctrine that man who does not
pay 80 much as one dollar for the sup
port of his State. and even when that
dollar is devoted to the education of his
own children, should not vote. is very
distasteful to this party, who advocate
what they are pleased to call a free
ballot and fair count" If the man
who resides in State, enjoys the pro-
lection of its laws, and its courts. edu-
Gates his children at public expense,
and then refuses to pay one doll CAPT
tation tax, is entitled to vote, why may
not men who live in other States, pay
nothing to the support of our State gov
eminent, but enjoy none of its pratec
ton, step in and claim the right to say
how much tax we must pay? The one
is about as consistent as the other.
Another peculiar feature about this
affair is that Mr.. Dawes of Massachu-
sets is in accord with Mr.. Mahonein his
effort to change this feature Of Virginia
law, but has never yet found fault with
the constitution of his own State, which
excludes from the polls men who can
not read the constitution in the Eng
lish language and cannot write their
names. In his Stale, the voter must
have paid the tax asse. sed against him
within two years Last pat, and he must
neither be pauper nor Ong to clsss
of d 49, Oluie char.c ers known as "speDd-
'hrifts" If the Republicans were hon
est in sustaining this crusade of Ma
homes against the constitution of Vir-
ginia, why do they not extend their
efforts to other States where the same
restrictions are imposed?
To remove an ohjectional feature In
the Virginia constitution, Gen. Malone
IL allied with men who sustain the same
features in the constitutions of other
States. These restrictions are not con-
fined to Virginia and Massachusetts,
but Pennsy lvania, Rhode Island, Com
necticut, ana probably other States,
have the same features in their cOnsti-
tutions The fact that the effort to re-
move it is only made in Virginia is-evi
6ence that it is but y hollow mockery,
and cry for political effect.-Shenan-

A SAD Casa very great interest
throughout the country has been excit-

From the description of the unfortunate
man given in the papers there is hardly
a doubt but that he ID one Of the pum
Der of Hungarian miners, who drifted
to this place last summer. There were
sixteen of them. They were put off the
train here on account of their moneys
having been exhausted. and 1t will be
remembered that one of them was burt
py being knocked off the Iron bridge by
u passing train. Several of the party
found work In this vicinity and remain
ID for some time. Among the number
was John Gyumber, who was engaged
by Mr. J. W. Porter as farm land
He was perfect type of manhood, a.
bout six feet tall, straight as an arrow
and of remarkably handsome features.
He worked at Mr.. Porter's for some
months. and during his service there

Expert PenmanshiD.

At the Omaha National Bank may be
seen a $50 bill executed entirely with a
pen by some expert penman and forger.
1t is very skillfully done, and not one
person out of a hundred would detect it
without the closest examination, and
even then the chances are that the de-
lection would be purely accidental. 1t
Is executed! in all colored inks used on
bank notes, and even the paper itself is
made to look like bank note paper by
little strokes of the pen. This bill is
really wonderful curiosity. 1t was paid
to the bank by Government Official, ,thro'
whose hands it passed without detec-
tion. 1t was received at the hank, but
its true character was soon afterward
discovered The execution of the bill
probably required two days hard work,
which would give the forger $40 a day
for his labot. He has probably set afloat
many of these bills. as well as bills of
larger denominations, and it is likly that
the twenty dollar bill above mentioned
has passed through hundreds of hands
without detection.

GARFIELD.
aStrange Graft in the OfIing."

Impatient while We weep they wait,
Three shining angels white and great
Three galleys riding brave in bay
To bear our rulers soul away
All men might see the first that came,
a messenger of lucent flame,
And watch how strangely, day by day,
Tue great ship neared or wore away.
And. lol a fourth, as sudden sent,
On errand grand and imminent,
Were rot our ears too dull 20 hear
We might well note her bailing cheeri
Oh, wonjrous ships, whose airy spars
Unseen fluat by the sentry stars.
Aud bat for those great lights and fair
Would come upon US unawarei
Save that from waves aurOral rolled
The air is full of drsIs tolled;
Save that from cottage and from tower
One sable woe is signed this hour.
Zen while We wonder and look on
To fairer isles that Avalon,
Ye bear the ruler of this land
And furl your sails on heavens strand.

his favOrite. There is peculiar and pain
full fitness in quoting these lines as ap-
plicable to himself. He was indeed
As some divinely gifted man
Whose life in low estate began
And on simple village green;
Who breaks his births ihVidious bar
And grasps the skirts of happy chance
And breasts the blows of circumstance,
And grapples with his evil star;
Who makes by force his merit known
And lives to clutch the golden KEYS,
To mould a mighty States DEGREES
And shage the whisper of the throne.
And, moving up from high to higher,
Becomes on fortunes browning slope
The pillar of peoples hOpei
The center of q worlds desire.

DEAD.

Dead! flashes along the electric cords
Till Deadi is WHISPERED from the pines
of Maine,
Deadl from the Golden Gate with bated
breath
Comes ahsw'ring back. Dead! comes
In undertones
From the orange groves of the Flow'ry
State.
And dead from Minnesota's prairie fields
In trembling accents comes echoing
back.
Deadispeeds along the oceans briny bed
And the uttermost parts of earth repeat
The tale of VICE.
Dead? Coiumbia's chosen son is dead:
She's sitting by his mutilated corse
In desolation, bereavement and tears;
Nor alone; Nations bear her company;
Liberty how'd with grief appears in
weeds,
And freedom is clad in mourning robes.
Chosen among her many sons to bear
Aloft the republic, 10 trim the lamps
OF liberty that no uncertain light
Might lead oppressiOn's exile on the
shoals
Of anarchy, making shipwreck of his
Aspirations to be free, and e'en whilst
Ills noble manhood grappled with the
weight
OF government, the mighty destinies
OF civil freedom, cowardly germ
OF alien anarchy with puny hand
Sped the missile of death that bathed the
world
In tears.
Heroes can not die, but their clay. |
The grief throbs of the Nations heart |
bespeak
His many virtues, and their lustrous
o'erspread the political heav'ns, ere
The reflections of their brightness
athwart
The Republic portends the birth of an
Ennobled civil life of purer aims
In State and of holi'r destiny.
Illustrious dead on freedoms altar slain
Ayel find a new made tomb within the
hearts
of your mourning countrymen.

Sense and Sentiment.

Luck is dream Of a simpleton.
No great man is hungry for fame.
Virtue is the politeness of the soul.
Quick fortunes are like basted gar
ments.
He's armed without that's innocent
within.
Report is quick traveller; but not a
safe guide.
FalsehOod may have its hour, but it
has no future.
Conversation is the vent of character
as well as thought.
Misfortunes are in morals what bit
ters are in medicines.
| The more yirtuous a man is the more
virtue does he see in others.
Reeoileet that trifies make perfection,
and that perfection is no trihe.
Rash. fruitless war from wauton glo-
ry waged, is only splendid murder.
Hard workers are usually honest. In
dustry lifts them above temptation.
Cold natures have only recollections,
tender natures have remembrances.
1t is often the ease that men, for the
sake of getting living. forget to live.
The virtue of prosperity is temper
ance; the virtue of adversely is forti-
tude.
A noble heart, like the sun, showest
its greatest cOuntenance in its lowest es-
tate.
The power to do great things general
ly arises from the willingness to do small
things.
Elegance of language may not he in
the power Of every one, but simplicity
and straightfOrwardness are.
That virtue which depnds on OPT Mon,
looks to secfesy alone, and could not be
trusted In desert.
A man with very small head is like
pin without any, very apt to get into
things beyond his depth.
BY example we become teachers. 'Tis
not what We wear ON our backs, but what
we wear in our brains.
Through woe we are taught togrefect,
and We gather the honey Of earthly wis
dom, not from flowers. but from thorns.
AS no roads are 50 rough as those
that have just been been msnded. so no
sinners are so iHtolerant rs those who
have just turned saints.
Despotisn can no more exist In ma
tiOn until the liberty of the press be de-
stroyed, than the night can happen be-
fore the sun is set.
Let those who would affect singularity
without success, first determine to be
very virtuOus, and they will be very sure
to be very singular. i
To try TO do other work than that to
which God nas adapted us, is simply to |
break and ruin some of Gods tools, and |
leave our work undOne.
When a man begins asking himself, |
'Does it pay to be honest ?" he is prepa-
ring to demonstrate practically that no
man can afford to be dishonest.
Don't be afraid of appearance so long
as your life is all right. No one can
better afford to have ill-tempered things
said of him than the man who does not
deserve them.
No language can express the power
md beauty and heroism and majesty of
| mothers love. 1t shrinks not where
men COVER, and grows stronger where
men faint; and over the wastes of
worldly fortune sends the radiance of its
Iuenchless fidelity like star in heaven.
