Why Chief of Police should be on

An investigation revealed the some
what astonishing fact that Smith was
in the employ Of Philadelphia detec-

Burlington, where q number of Penn

bed. This accounted for the railroad
pass found in Smiths possession and
also his engagement with Shisler.

employed counsel, hired a surveyor
and went to heavy expense to set up
their claim. JenDing and Peckworth

nothing in it. The papers in the case

sought to force compromise. The

THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

It is freely admitted that a large
amount Of money changed hands, or
in plain language, more votes were
bought and sold openly and by both
parties during election day in this
city, than on any former similar oe-
casions. Though the law on bribery,
&C., is very explicit, and known and
fully understood by every voter, it is
to a large extent entirely ignored,
aye, glaringly defed in Wholesale
manner. Without exaggeration, the
business of voting as conducted on
Tuesday the 9Th, is but q grand auc-
ton, the elect or a portion at least
being knocked down to the highest
party bidders. So gross violation of
the law, to say nothing Of principle,
a law enacted to preserve the purity
Of the ballot box, is disgracefnl, no
matter from what motive it may
spring. To those who desire to. keep
the elective franchise free expires
sion, unstained, and based upon
necessary qualifications and a clean
record, such gross corruption is dis
gusting in the extreme, betraying a
it does, entire lack OF principle,
total disregard for the law, sordid
views antagonistic to honest and good
government, and "devil-may care"
interest in the welfare of the country
at large. Was the "arch-6end" to
appear on earth and offer tempting
bonus for his election to any Office,
we verify believe that dispensing
"Jersey Lightning" to some aud a
liberal distribution of cash to others,
would insure him an overwhelming
majority, even if his success resulted,
as might be anticipated from bis
Satanic antecedents, in playing in
commor parlance, "the very devil
with the country and its institu-
tions." The present, not the future,
governs the actions of many of our
day. Pray, what care have such con-
temptible violators of the law for their
country or its LAVISH On one side it is
