Why we Have SO Few Good Riders,

1t has frequently been the subject of re-
mark as to the cause of the scarcity of good
Jockeys. To be sure we have some excellent
riders-Barrett, Evans, Hughes, Barbee.
Feakes, and probably half dozen others.
but not more. The secret is explained in the
fact that unless Jockey takes great care of
himself, constant exercise in the saddle will
superinduce Piles of the most aggravatiny
character, that itch intensely, particularly
after getting warm in bed, and thus render
him unfit for service on the track However.
if Swayne's Ointment were used, the worst
case of Itching Piles would be speedily cured.

necessary.

The riltbusteriug i'm the House.

The Filibustering in the House.
Day after day the House Is unable to
transact any business on account Of the
filibustering of the democrats to prevent
the seating of Mackey of South Carolina.
There is no precedent and no good reason
tor this obstructive course. But the South
Carolinians insist that the northern demo-
Gratis must stand by their fraudulent sys-
tom Of carrying elections in the South and
so the doughfaces yield. There is nothing
whatever to support the charge that
Mackey imposed upon the Elections Com
mittee false, forged and garbled testimo-
mony." These charges were first brought
by Mr.. Dibble more than three months
ago. In support Of them he filed ten aft
davits, only one Of which specifically
charged any alterations in the testimony.
Even in that affidavit no witness was
named whose testimony had been changed
but the allegations were Of general
character The other nine affidavits did
not charge any alterations in the testimo-
ny. In answer Colonel Mackey filed the
affidavits Of eigbty-four Of the ninety
four witnesses examined by him in the
contest. Each of these made oath that
he had carefully read the testimony as
printed, and that it had not been in any
way altered or garbled. OF the remain
ing ten witnesses, whose affidavits were
not produced, it was shown that
one had died and that the others
were absent from home and could
not be reached. In addition to the
sworn statements of the witnesses them
selves. Colonel Mackey submitted an afli-
davit from the stenographer who took the
greater part of the testimony on both sides.
In this deposition and in another since OBJ
tanned the stenographer testified that he
had compared with his original steno-
graphic notes the testimony as printed Of
thirty-three Of the witnesses examined for
Colonel Mackey. and that the testimony
of those persons as printed correspondent
in every particular with the original notes.
After a careful consideration of the whole
matter the Elections committee decided
that Mr.. Dibble had utterly failed to sub
stantate his accusations and that there
was no reason whatever to believe that
the testimony had been changed to his in
jury. Although the evidence in the case
disclosed that the most shameless frauds
were committed in the interest of O'Con-
nor, yet to entitle Colonel Mackey to the
seat the committee found that it was only
necessary to count the vote exactly as it
was counted by the democratic precinct
managers on the night of November 81,
1880. As counted by those managers
Colonel Mackey has a majority of $40.
How does this filibustering in support
of a fraudulent claim to seat in Congress
agree with the declaration in the call for
the Maine Democratic State Convention
in favor of elections 'free from fraud,
force, or bribery pn

CORRECTED FIGURES.

We are gratifed to learn that IN
later returns from our own State,
the result of the late election Is
quite different from first reports
As the Democrats had swept New
York, Massachusetts and Pennsyi'
vania, and had made such heavy
gains in this locality, we thought
the claim of the State by ten thou
sand by the Democrats, and eight
of the nine Congressman, very mod
est. But we find it different as
fuller reports come in. Walter +.
Pool, the Republican nominee in
the first district, is elected to Con-
gress, James E. O'Hara, colored
Republican in the second district,
is elessed, and DIR. Tyre York, Goa
lition candidate in the seventh dis
trict, is also elected. Instead of. ten
thousand Democratic majority they
now claim only 200. The Coali.
tionists have made. gains in the
Legislature, but the Bourbons have
D good working majority. Virginia
goes Coalition and elects six Of her
ten Congressman from the Coali-
ton ticket. South Caroline, though
Democratic as usual, elects Mr.. Nc.
Key, Republican, to Congress.
Florida elects Bisbee, Republican,
Louisiana elects Kellogg, Mississip.

Kansas elected Mr.. 3. B. McCabe

OUR TRIP TO COLUMBIA.

Being a newspaper man we now
have business all over the country
and like to return to particular To-
calities as often as our business re-
quires. This last trip Of ours to Co
lumbia gave us bit of experience.
This being the week Of the State
Fair at Columbia there were great
many passengers goingdown. There
were four coaches, but on leaving
Charlotte none of them were any
thing like full. There was only one
second class car on and that was
used as a smoker and drinking re-
sort. Of course we took seat in q
first class car and anticipated and
encountered no trouble on the way.
We noticed there were only two
other colored persons in the coach
with us, one young man in q for
ward corner, the other q nurse. An
old gentleman, apparently very clev-
er, occupied a seat just in front of
us. He was from California and
talked much and asked many ques-
tions.
Just in our rear after we passed
Chester, sat what we suppose were
two full fledged South Carolina bour-
bons. Here the cars were all pref
tY well crowded, as a great many
passengers got on. We soon dis
covered that we were the subject
under discussion by these two bour-
bons. One said to the other, 81
don't like this, and he has a whole
seat to himself" The other said,
"No, 1 don't like to see it, and we
have a Legislature now which | think
will put stop to all such. They
can regulate that as well as the
freights." Then they went on talk
ing Of the election, the way the me-
groes voted with them in Chester,
&c. We frequently heard men
around US speak of "that Niger
over there" but not a one spoke To
us till we got to Winnsborc, when
an old gentleman came in and ask.
cd for o seat with us. He seemed
to be well known by many and very
