Town Elections,

The town election at Falls Church, Fair
fax county, did not call forth the usual
enthusiasm. The regular ticket was made
up, as usual, of fusion, four republicans,
two readjusters, and one democrat. The
usual moonlight ticket came into the field
on the morning of election but failed to
carry The failure of many persons to pay
their capitation tax for last year prevented
their voting, and an effort of some members
Of Council to justify the reception of all
votes accepted at the fall election of 1881 did
not save them. Some paid their taxes on
the morning of election and insisted on
voting. After much discussion they were
permitted TO cast their votes in an additional
box to be counted separately, which was
done, but as the challenged votes when
counted did not change the result, the voters
of them subsidized and the regular ticket was
elected as follows Council-G. B. Ives
Seth Osborn Ed. J. Birch, Fred +. Foot
James S. Riley, James f. Birch and VIM. P.
Graham.
The town election was very spirited in
Herndon last week, nearly every voter be-
ing at the polls during the day. No dis
tinctive line was drawn between the parties,
the tickets being based solely on the issue
of local questions. The regular ticket was
elected as follows; Council-Isaiah Brady,
A. J. Downing, Amos Crounse, H. w.
Blanchard, B. Garrett, w. Il Roby, Fred.
Cook Town Clerk-Wm. D. Swectser
Town Sergeant-Geo. F. Albaugh.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1882.

MORE THAN Il quarter of a century ago
Daniel Webster said the republican party
would ignore the Constitution and disre
gard the most sacred obligations in order to
attain its ends; and every act of its exist
ence since then has sustained his assertion.
But of all the proof of this that had pre-
viously been adduced nothing is more con-
vincing than the action of the republican
majority yesterday in the L. S. of Repre-
sentatives. The rules of that House were
revised and adopted at the commencement
of the session, and were intended to govern
its conduct until the close thereof, and yet
they We're then changed by a bare majority,
aud solely for the purpose Of adding three
or four votes to that majority. If mere
majority can alter the rules for one purpose
it can alter them for another, and
so the country and all its interests,
and the highest rights and privileges Of all
It's citizens, are subject to the arbitrary will
of 4 temporary majority ofonc. If this pre-
ccdcnt be established intestine trouble must
majority will resort to it as means Of pro-
longing its own existence. and the minority
will mot always be as subservient asiti now.
The Republican speaker not only decided
by the usurpation Of arbitrary power to
change the rules, but even went so far rs to
decline to entertain motions from the mi
nurity that were not dilatory. and from such
tyranical rulings refused to allow appeals
Well might Mr.. Springer, as he did, de.
nounce them as unjust and unjustiiahle
and as justifying the deposition of the ma,
who was guilty Of them. But the worst o
all this is the fact that every republican
member Of the House. constituting as they
do majority, small though it be, melted
urged and supported the Speaker in the ex
ercise Of this despotic power.

New YORK, May 3O.-The steamboat
Osseo, Of the Harlem River Transportation
Company, left pier No. %, East River, at
quarter past five p. III. yesterday afternoon
on her last trip for the day up the river:
There were between fifty and sixty people

the port side. The Osseo's paddle box was
badly wrecked, her wheel smashed. her shaft

on the other boat For time the greatest
confusion prevailed aboard the disabled
steamboat. Luckily no one was injured
either on the tugboat or on the Osseo..
