The vagaries of Governor Crittenden of
Missouri have their amusing side; but the
eerious fact remains that hero is the Chief
Executive of a great State giving direct en-
management to law-breakers to continue their
criminal work. lie has just pardoned three
lottery dealers on their promise to be good,
pot to break the laws again, and "to devote
their talents to the prosperity Of ST. L U.s."
This looks like wanton abuse of the pardon

The issue on which the Democrats mean to
conduct their canvass this fall was Haunted
hgain in Congress yesterday-it is the charge
of Republican extravaganza and failure to re-
Auce taxation. This is clear case of false
pretence. No extravagant measure has been
proposed In Congress that has not had the
material support of Democrats, and they
must bear half the responsibility of passing
the Big Divide over a Republican Presi-
heDts veto. Moreover. all the bills to reduce
taxation which the Republicans have intro
buced at this session have had the open or
disguised opposition of the Bourbons. For
what purpose except TO defeat it were thirty
five amendments attached 10 the Internal
Revenue bill in the Senate, and the determ
nation of debating each one avowed II The
skirts of the Republican Representatives may
not clear the ground, but those of the Demo
cratic members even more drabbled and
torn.

Although well-informed people in this city

striking freight handlers for week or two
past when they asserted that much West

Still capital has been made out of these false
assertions in the West, to the injury of our
business men. Jobbers from Chicago and
places of similar easy morals have assured
Western merchants that it was no use to buy
goods in New-York; that they could not be
shipped promptly. These statements have
been believed it is said, to our detriment

The End Of It.

The results OF the recent elections IN
Alabama and Kentucky furnish all the evil

trv that the Mahoneizing Of the South Is at
an end. II was possible for General MA
HONE to acquire power in Virginia by skill

honestly striving TO serve his State ana
his party; but 1t is not possible Tor
ANYBODY in any other southern State
to succeed in the same role, now
that General MALONE has become an
Administration man. We hear little or no
talk now OF the prospect OF securing addi-
tional Republican congressman from the
southern States by combination between
the Administration men, or Republicans,
and the soreheads, or Independents. The
spectacle Of two Administration senators
from Virginia, who could never have been
senator's IL they had three years ago aVoW-
cd their intention 10 join the Republican
party. has opened the eyes OF the Demo-
Gratis Of all the rest Of the southern states
TO the danger OF playing with edged too's'
whether these be denominated "lndepen-
dentismo or "Readjusterism." Virginia
has done all that lay in her power to make
the United States Senate OF the next Con-
gress Republican; but she has also served
as a beacon to warn of from the rock on
which she was wrecked all the other south
ern States. sThere will be no more Ad-
ministration senators elected in the South,
for a long time TO come.

rov unhbelps Assessments.

A ,e.fer in the New York Herald says
that Tammany Hall introduced IN 1899 the
plan OF assessing oflice-holdcrs with tax
upon their salaries as a means OF raising a
campaign fund. a committee OF Congress,
Of which Henry A. WISE was member,
reported afterwards upon the subject.
They said in their report that there was no
doubt remaining in the judgment OF the
committee that the direct tendency OF this
system was "to reduce public Office to the
DEGRADED character Of merchandise and to
demoralizc and prepare the mind OF incum-
bents Of Office for acts Of peculation and
plumber upon the public reyenues.'
IL is surely most reprehcnsible prac-
tice 10 pay such salaries out Of the moneys
collected for taxes as to enable the Office
holders TO keep themselves in Office. II
the taxes were paid by the members OF
only one party, it would not be so bad.
But to take money, as JAY llUDBELL docs,
collected from Democrats, and use it as
partisan fund to exclude the same Dem
ocrats from any share in the control of the
government Of their own country, is a
wrong which cannot be too severely con-
demned. But JAY HUBBELL and bis Re-
publican associates do worse even than that.
Their party fills up the South with office
holders to collect taxes which ought never
TO have been assessed, under system that
ought TO have been abolished long ago, and
pays to these Cilice-holders such salaries out
OF the southern peoples money as enables
the Republican party not only to continue
in power but to perpetuate those unjust
taxes. This is shown by the fact that the
majority Of GARFIELD was only 7,01S,
whilst the number OF oflice-holders in the
country exceeds hundred thousand.

Republican Gerrymandering.

The Democrats and Grcenbackors OF
Maine hope TO reflect Governor PLAIsTED
at the election which comes of on the 18th
OF next month. They ought to carry the
Legislature also; but this Republican
gerrymander has put ii out OF their power
to do. The New York HerdlFS Portland
correspondent exposes the gerrymander as
follows:
"Some idea Of its character can be OBJ
tanned from the statement that, though the
Republicans were beaten on the popular
vote in the last election, this gerrymander
enabled them TO secure majority Of 80 in
the Legislature, or Al per cent. more menu
btrs than the opposition. Ii gave them three
representatives in Knox county to only
four for the FusiCnists, though the county
gave Fusion majority OF 1900, and three
Republicans TO four Fusionists in Aroo-
stock county, with its 800 Fusion Ina-
iOrity. Lincoln county, with 400 Flu
sion majority, had three Fusion repre-
sentatives and three Republicans, while
the Republican county Of Sagadahoc, with
1000 majority $500 less than Knox gave
the other day, was given four Republican
representatives and no FuSlOnistS; Pts
cataquis county, with only 800 Republican
majority, was given three Republican rep
resentativcs and no Fusionists. In the
Senate its working was still worse. The
seven Fusion counties were given only
eight senators, while the nine Republican
counties had twenty-three senators. On
joint ballot the present Legislature stands
107 Republicans and IS opposition"
In Connecticut similar State OF things
exists. In fact, the Republican party is in
power to-day because Of the frauds of 1876
which deprived Mr.. TILDEN OF the presi-
dcncy, and because OF the shameful gerry
Wandering Of northern States. II the Demo
Gratis had not had to work against the
whole power Of the Federal Government
its money and all, they would have had
control OF that Government years ago. A
large majority Of the voters OF this country
are Democrats,
