that in the election news from the
Democratic state of Mississippi fresh
subject is furnished for an outbreak on
the floor Of the Senate, by such " out
rage shriekers'' as Messrs. HOar and
Dawes, who now rattle around and are
lost in the ceats once occupied by Web
ster and Sumner. Il seems that dis
qualified person who was legally denied
his ballot at Marion station, Miss, and
was adjudged a non resident, made this
refusal to let him vote illegally the
occasion of denunciation Of the election
officers, and foul abuse of their wives
and daughters. Being ordered away
from the polls, he returned with gang
of his fellows, armed to the teeth,
and, in the manner of the South,
free in the use of pistols. The conse-
quencc was riot, in which five men
were killed and the arousing of a spirit
of vengeance in the community from
which it is feared a dozen n.crc may suf-
fer death. 1t is greatly to be deprecated
that such incidents occur and give Our
political opponents chance to stigma
tie the whole South, and its majority of
law-abiding, wcll-disposed citizens, rs
indisposcd to peace and fairness.
of course it will not alter the tone
OF senatorial speeches and Radical Re-
publican newspaper comments TO he in
formed that the "bulldOzers in the
above case were negroes and the people
whom they shot down in cold blood were
white Democrats.
Now they will "mop up the floor
with the Half Breeds.
If Grant and Conkling had only
walked through Tom MurpLy's dis
trict.
Ir Grant and Conkling had gone on
horseback through Astor's district, what
might not have happened
NEITHER Stalwart Arthur nor Half
Breed MacNeagh votcd on Tuesday. Call
il stand-oif.
Nh. WOLFE polled a large Dem ocratic
! vote in Snyder and Union counties. And
yet Judge Bucher could have spared them
more easily than Noble!
THAT Il considerable number of Phi!a-
,lclphia Democrats voted for Wolfe or
Baiy, may he inferred from the fact that
Mr.. Noble had only AZ, 415 votes, while
Ncalc for recorder Of deeds had 4G, 47G.
Tui: advantage Of !. non partisan police,
under a Democratic reform mayor, over
the operations of Stokicy's force, can best
be inferred from the fact of universal tcs-
timony regarding the elections of Tuesday
in Philadelphia that "a very noticeable
feature OF the cay was the absence Of elec
tioneerins quarrcis. For once the police
took 10 active part"
In Quebec, on September %. 1881, a
notable sermon Oh the assassination Of
President Garfield. was preached by Rev.
crend Robert Kerr, and Dr.. Greene has
received pamphlet copy of it from
friend who was one Of number to pub
lish it with a touching dedication to tho
bcreaved widow by sorrowing friends in
the g ancient capital 1t is a high trib-
ute to the personal " worth Of the dead and
voices the grief Of her maiesty's realm at
the tragedy which shocked all Christcr-
dom.
Ox election day in New York young
Astor's opponent met Il friend, who told
him Of some working men who had as
sured him they were Democrats and were
going to vote for him but would like a
little more money to spend. To them Mr..
Flower replied that the canvass was for
them more than for him, that hc could
not take his chair in Congress except at a
great sacrifice, and that the main result of
his election would bc death blow to the
misuse Of money in the district, arithout
;rhich any uorki"g man migMg 90 TO Congress
| as ;eeN as he.
THERE is good reason for saying that
ia
will urge upon Congress reduction in in
tcrnal taxes to the extent of ut least ST.
900, COO The tax on medicines and blank
checks he will recommend bc swept away
altogether. On the tariff. it is understood,
he will be non -committal rs to the scale of
duties. but he will take decided ground in
favor Of such a revision of existing
statutes as will simplify the present con-
fused, if not contradictory, mass of legis-
lation, and thereby facilitate the collection
| of tie revenue without unnecessarily in
terfering with the operations of commerce.
THERE seems TO be no dispute that the
feeling between MacVeagh and Blaine is
very frigid, and that the recent publica-
tion of reported row between MacVeagh
and Arthur is ascribed to Blaine. The
facts Of that disturbance arc said to be
that there was cabinet meeting. Every
member was present, and it lasted four
hours. The Guiteau trial was brought up
by the president. He wanted to know
from MacVeagh what he has done about
it. He had done nothing, and didn't
think there was anything for him to do.
Arthur had other views. A discussion en-
sued. Judge John X. Porter and Wash
inston lawyer were suggested by tho pres.
ident. They were next day engaged by
