On motion Of Mr.. Singleton of Illinois. q bill
was passed for the erection Of public building at
Quincy, Ill.
The Speaker then recognized Mr.. Scranton to

Mr.. Page asked Mr.. Randall TO yield in order to

amendments for I purpose of concurring therein.
Mr. Randall yielded for that purpose and Mr.
Page was recognized, hut Mr.. Briggs renewed the
demand for the regular order, protesting that
some States had been recognized four or five times,
while Others had not received single recognition.

Conservative Ba,Io,-Box stufing.

1t appears from the Charleston Is. C0
dispatches that Attorney-Generai Brew
ster's persecution of "the wealth and in
telligence" of the Palmetto State was
continued OH Monday by the production
of evidence that there were one thousand
and seventy-nine more tickets in the bal
lot-box at the Hope Engine-House Pre-
cinct, at the election Of 1880, than there
were voters who put them in. This tri-
fling discrepancy is explained by the fact
testified to that zone of the managers
was seen with his hand in the ballot-boX
after the polls closed" while three wit
nesses swore that "they saw two of the
managers putting something resembling
tickets into the hole of the ballot-box
during the day" The charge of ballot
box stutiing thus made and proven upon
some of the conservative friends of good
government in South Carolina is pain
ful evidence of fresh tendency on the
part of the Republicans in the direction
of shaking the bloody shirt. The inser-
tion of one thousand and seventy-nine
tissue ballots in box over and above
those voted was unaccompanied by vio-
lence, and was merely security taken
against the defeat of the Bourbon Democ-
racy. OF course, where pretense is made
of holding an election to choose public
officers the stuffing in of one thousand
and seventy-nine false ballots in one box
is open to objection, however pure the
motive may have been that animated
the wealthy and intelligent stufler thus
to have stuffed. In pressing the in
quiry upon these matters in South
Carolina let us hope that the
party spirit which is said to have
prompted it may not be followed up to a
point dangerous to the present blessed
condition of society in that State. Let
the national Administration pause and
reflect before q restoration of "negro
rule " is invited by too harsh Il scrutiny
into the election methods Of " the wealth
and intelligence" Shall "home rule u
go down in a mad effort to count only the
votes put in the ballot-box by voters
Shall elections be allowed to elect when
they elect Republicans? Shall the mild
and beneticent sway of the Bourbon De.
nocracy be lost to South Carolina merely
because majority Of the voters stupidity
refuse TO sustain it, and that, too, when
the majority can be overcome by gently
and peaceubly stufiing the boxes at the
rate of thousand ballots to the box
Perish the thought! Beneath the rule

Too Swift n Witness.

The New York Tribune of yesterday has
q dreary column of rot about the way
Mr. Blaine was going TO have set the
people of Peru and our people TO buying
and selling of and to each other if Presi-
dent Arthur had not prevented it. Then
it relates how little Blaine cared about
any private claim, leaving out, of course,
between Chill and Peru unless a private
claim of S7,900,000 should be guaranteed
to Landreau. Then it winds up with an
unutterably silly statement, false and
impudent in the extreme. II is that
the instructions to Mr.. Trescot "eX.
pressed the purpose of President Gar.
fields administration" AS they related
mainly TO things that occurred after
President Garfield had ceased to know
anything of affairs, it is evident that the
Tribune, possibly under the familiar in.
spiration of Mr.. Blaine, addresses itseli
only to the uninformed. 1t can afford to
to be known as falsifying the record by
those who are familiar with it for the
sake Of confusing and deceiving those
who are not. The upshot of the 7ri.
bune'S editorial is that some instructions
were given Trescot which were to
be kept secret and that Peru
would heve traded with us out of graft
tude if we had kept on under the Blaine
policy of compelling Chill to help us col
lect Landreau's claim from Peru. But
in an evil hour, the Tribune tells us, Presi'
dent Arthur permitted thes instructions
to be published, and thus defeated and
afterward reversed the policy at first
adopted" Without stopping to inquire
how a policy could be reversed after il
had been defeated, and without dwelling
OIL a contradiction of the familiar false
hoods that the President revoked the
Trescot instructions, and that he broke
AN agreement by their publication, We
venture to suggest that General Garfield
had been dead too long in December tc
be responsible for instructions to an en-
voy not until then appointed. The lies
of the Tribune are as were those of Fal
staff" like mountain, gross and pal
| pable."

Peace in PENNSYLVANIA.

The conference between the Republi-
cans and the Independents, represented
by committees Of representative men of
the two elements has resulted very well.
There is at least no present outbreak, and
the resolutions agreed on will be adj
hcrcd to by all who acted in good faith
in supporting them. The recommends
tions made TO the regular State Conven-
ton, which is to meet May 10, and the
general declaration of principles agreed
to, are compact of union between all
who are not the inplucable enemies of
tile Republican party and its purposes,
The generality that "the State ticket
should be such rs by the impartiality of
Its constitution and the high character
and acknowledged fitness of the nom
iGccs will justly commend itself to the
support of the united Republican party"
il evidently framed to allow of escape.
The minority claims The right to decide
as TO the fitness of the candidates, and
makes its own will the paramount rule
OF its action. This of course, is the
lunruage of secessonsts, and is in.
tended as n menace. But what few
may have intended as a snare the great
body Of the voters will treat rs an honor,
able understanding, The Stalwarts pro.
posed for the future change of party
usage in the choice of delegates which
the Independents had clamored for tilt
year as means to give them Il second
chance to carry the convention they had
lost. This was agreed TO. The secession
wing always wants the rules so changed
as 10 save them from the result Of a de
feat just sustained. They were ashamed
to insist on that in the present instance
The worst feature Is that Wolfe and hi
associates do not abandon their separat,

MIR. BLAINE instructed Mr.. Hurlbut on
the 4th of August last to notify Chill and
Peru that they should never negotiate a
peace based on a cession of Peruvian ter
ritory unless provision was made for a
mortgage on such territory in favor of
Monsieur Landreau for the amount that
might be found due on scontract, declared
valid by Mr.. Blaine, for a royalty on
guano. Mr.. Blaine's concluding words
were:
"You will take special care 10 notify both the
ChillRn and Peruvian authorities OF the character
and status ofhe claim, in order that no aeniiue eatl
Of peace shall be made IN disre0ard Qf s rights tchcl
Landreau may be found 10 possess"

by quoting from the same dispatch such
portions as do moi contain the above
words. The exceedingly able editor O

word About the Police Bill.

Nearly every speaker in Congress who has had
n word to say ON the bill TO increase the police
force OF the District of Columbia has had some
thing to say about the clause which requires an
applicant TO have served in the Army and Navy of
the United States. Most of them dwelt upon the
fact that the war took place so long neo that the
ex-sodiers and sailors were now old men, and
that young blood was wanted for the police force.
These statesmen do not know what they are talk =
ing about. The clause do not require man TO
have served in The war or In a war. 1t merely says
that he must be an honorably discharged soldier
or snilOr. There are men on the police force ofthe
aferward served in the Union Army, grayitated
10 Washington, and became policemen. There
are Others on the police force that have served en-.
listmcnts either in the Army, Navy, or Marine
Corps since the war. A man who has served an
enlistment and been honoraby discharged is better
fitted by discipline good judgment, and sodicrly
bearing for a policeman than an unripe citizen
anyhow Keep the clause rs 1t is, and there will
not be as much politics on the police force as II is
proposed to inject into 1t by abolishing 1t. Is.

The Refurmcrs Versus the People.
The proposition of Senator Saunders
to so amend the Constitution as TO leave
the selection Of Federal officers whose
duties are not performed in Washington
to the vote Of the people in the localities
IN which they are to serve, would be ail
very well if the Ku-Klux and tissue-baliot
manipulators of the South and the CIVIL
service reformers and ballot-box stuiiers
of the North had any respect for the
popular will. But the great difficulty Is
That in each section the majority OF the
people are defed by the criminal class,
and held in contempt by pretentious
humbugs who call themselves the
better class" "The wealth and intelll-
gence " is the phrase applied to them
selves by willful minority who conspire
against the majority for power in the
South. "The better class of Republl-
cans" civil-service reformers," and the
like, are the phrases which n similar in
consequential minority at the North ap-
ply to themselves, thinking thereby to
awe the great majority into submission.
Never was Ku.K raider in Missis-
sippi orSouth Carolina more hostile TO the
will of the majority of the people who com
pose the Republican party than are some
of the sore-headed hungry, ofiice-seek-
ing, non-partisan," natulent, pharisai-
cal, canting, self-lauding pretenders, who.
not content with claiming merit they do
not possess, are crammed with malice
against genuine people, whom they never
weary of slandering. We greatly fear
that if the power of appointment should
be taken away from the President and
Senate, and given to the people, the
latter would, us now, be denounced
MS machine" political workers."
"shoulder-hitters," mudsills," "anigno-
rant horde" and the like. The men
who cannot get Office from the people
now would fare no better when more
officers were to be chosen, and we shall
always have set of political frauds who
would like to have voting confined to
themselves, and who, failing in that, in
sist that no one out of their circle shall
be eligible to Office. We have no faith
in any scheme to stop the dismal whine
of the Reformers which does not include
official mush. The only successful trea-
shall be entitled, "A Place for every Re-
former, and Every Reformer in His
Place"

WE can see no sense in the discussion
as to whether the late President Garfield
employed Dr. Bliss, OF only accepted his
services. We are unable to perceive any
importance in the question as TO whether
Mrs. Garfield selected DR.. Bliss as the at
tendant physician of her husband, with
or without consultation with him, or
whether she merely acquiesced in his
constant devotion and varied services
during the awful eighty days, The GER
tifcate of DR.. Boynton would seem to
indicate either that Dr. Bliss did not at
tend the great sufferer at all, and is there
fore an impostor, or that he was either
employed or permitted to so attend, and
that al effort is on foot TO cheat him out
of his compensation. There has been a
sorry woof of the false and the ridiculous
interviewer with the web of harsh and
tragic destiny ever since the wofll second
of July. Let us hope that we may be
spared a wranPle over the money to be
divided between the doctors, and that
all disputes on that score may be buried
with the evidences of the disgusting
revels which were so large an item in the
funeral expenses,
