FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. Is. 1882.
A FREE BALLOT.

Two trials are sh ortly to take place on
Richmond on the result of which much in
The interest Of pure and free election de-
|pends. The defendants in one case are one
of the most prominent officers of the State
land member Of its Returning Board. and
lone of his special tax collectors, ch arged
with an offence committed in the interest
|of their political party. The defendants,
kfor there are some half dozen, in the other
II case are officials of the city of Richmond,
charged with offences committed in the
/ interest of their own political party. The
first named defendants are Coalitionlsts
land are to be tried in the State courts, the
others are Democrats and are to be tried
in the Federal court. In both courts it
lis conceded that efforts will be made to
get the very best juries that can be had.
! without expressing any opinion of the
tcriminality Of the parties. who are enti-
\ tied to be considered innocent until they
pare proved guilty, we may yet make their
eases text for a remark or two on the
{ purity OF elections. It is certain that in
the great revolution of November this
purity was not the smallest cause in the
minds OF the people. The American peo-
Die have determined to have a free and
pure government and they know by this
time that such enc can never be gotten
through an impure ballot box. In that
portion of the American people residing
in Virginia that feeling is as strong as it
is anywhere else. The trickery of politics
is one thing. and thing that hardly any
law can be devised to remedy; but the vio-
lation of law is another and different
ching and the public verdict is that such
Is to be punished, whether it is by the
/ highest officer in the State or by its hum
blest citizen. The new spirit of the times
is against the old time methods of Came
ronism in Philadelphia and Tweedism in
New York, and the spirit Of the people of
Virginia is opposed to fraud whether by
tax receipts or other violations.
We trust that the trials at Richmond
will be Invested Of all political complexion
both as to juries and judges in both courts;
that their result may not be weakened in
+ effect by suspicion of partizan bias, and
L that the outcome may be a wholesome
strengthening of the public confidence III
the observance and enforcement OF the
laws against frauds in elections.

Two years ago, when 1ngersoll was to
deliver one of his blasphemous lectures
here. prominent Catholic citizen, over
his own name, in your columns, appealed
to the people of st. Paul, for the sake of
self-respect and out of regard for the veri-
ties of faith, dear to Protestant and Ca
tholic alike, to stay away. The lecture en-
papement was cancelled because of death
in the family of Mr.. Ingersoll,an and so it was
not seen whether the appeal produced any
impression, or not.
He is now announced to appear
here Monday evening, in lecture in
which he affronts every ones instincts ane
