ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER
having directed prosecutions to be
commenced against the ballot-box
suffers and bulldozers of South
Carolina, for their manifold and
fragrant crimes against a " free ballot
and fair count" those amiable
gentlemen straightway fall into pas
sionate indignation, and threaten
not only to defy the law, but to
bulldoze the Courts. The leading
Democratic organ of the State, the
Charleston Ne,cs and Courier, thus
calls upon the chivalry to rally to
the defense of their scoundrelism:
"The people must prepare at once,
and teach the Stalwart conspirators
that, neither through the agency of
prosecutions, nor by wolves in Sleeps
clothing, nor by soft talking. shall
this State be put in position to be
Africanized again. The place to be-
gin is right in the United States Cir
cult Court next week. Let the ac-
cused election officers feel and see that
the State is with them. Let the ac-
cused understand Enthusiastically
that his cause is the cause of civili-
zation, social order and good gov
ernment, and that the Indictment of
South Carolinians, to serve the ends
of the Stalwarts, is an attempt to in
dict whole people.
This says the New York Tribune
is clearly a call for the red shirt
chivalry to assemble at the Court
House and impress upon Court, ju-
ry and witnesses the danger oftaking
any action which will meet their
disapprobation. This is why the
injunction sand see" is put in italics.
The frequent admission that the
whole Democratatic party OF the
State is guilty ofthe offences charged
is repeated. The question of guilt
is admitted, and the attitude of def
ance for the Government and ,ts
laws is assumed without disguise.
This is notification pure and SIM
pie. We should have supposed that
the South Carolina Bourbon had ex-
perience enough with notification,
bat be seems to be inviting fresh
disaster.

jority Of the voters Of the state, they
should unite to redeem the common
wealth from the personal thraldom
of Boss Cameron and the corruptions
and extravaganza of the ringsten he
finds itconvenient, through thesweep
of the machine, to set up as law ma
kers for the people. That is our po-
sition. We do not care to haggle
on terms or conditions to secure uni
ted effort, but are well satisfied the
sentiment Of the people and of the
democratic party largely favors such
a course, and will reach it if their
will can be made manifest at the ap-
approaching conventions.
The Post hits the nail squarely on
the head when it asserts its convic.
ton that the " Democrats lnd hide
pendeats are IA entire accord on The
question Of State politics and admins

does not care, as it says ito haggle

sured that the Independents are
heart and soul in accord with the
Democracy. We commend this ar
ticle from the Post to the attention
of our readers, proving as it does
our former declarations that a coali-
ton between the Democrats and
Independents is in contemplation
if not already agreed upon.

have considered as a loan from Oakes

their evasions and falsehoods, con
fessed the transactions to be dis
graceful.

The Man Who Wins.

A Washington dispatch to the Clncin-
natl Commercial says that Franklin b.
Gowen is talked of there as the next
Democratic candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Gowen is widely
talked of in his state for this candidacy.
l. is known that it has long been his de-
sire to retire from the Reading presi-
deacy and that he would have gratified
his wish years ago but for the financial
reyulsion which brought theReading into
a condition which forbade his leaving
it until it once more stood erect. That
time is now at hand. The overwhelming
personal victory secured by Mr.. Gowen
at the late election in his corporation land
the successful condition of its business,
enable him to retire from the presidency
with a clear conscience and without the
shadow of reproach. 1t is understood
that he proposes soon to resume the prac-
tice of his profession, which offers him
a wider field for the exercise of his mag
nificent talents, and a more cOngenial
one as well. In this event he will bc
eligible to the Democratic nomination
for governor; and although it will not
be an invitirg & post in pecuniary sense,
Mr.. GOwen is well known to regard very
lightly such considerations, and to mold
far above them the desire to make him
self useful in this day and generation
and to win the deserved applause of men.
There is great field open to Pennsyl-
yania governor who has the courage and
disposition to turn it up for the public
good. Mr.GOwen is such character. lie
is a man after the hearts of the people,
who adore his brave, self-reliant and
honest soul. They would gather around
his political banner with fervor OF
spirit that would make him once more a
victor. Success attends him because he
deserves it and fights for it with
an unquenchable zeal that knows no
such word as fail. 1t is entirely be-
yond question that he hasa stronger hold
upon the admiration of his feRDw citi-
zens of Pennsylvania than any other
man in the state, and that no one
could so brilliantly carry the Demo,
cratic banner. He is not of the order OF
men who WOULD seek the nomination
nor do we believe he is of the order who
would decline it. He is too great and
true man to do either. He goes cheer
fully where he sees his duty to lie and
where can there he greater duty than
will find its scope in the gubernatorial
Office of this great state, which is insight
Gcant only because insignificant mel
hold it?

The ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM.

Contract Eetw cen tho City ami the Game
well Company Closed.
Last evening in select council chamber,
articles of agreement between the Game
we'll fire alarm telegraph company, rep.
resented by its Secretary, Chester II. Pond,
of New York, and the special committee on
the reorganization of the fire department.,
representing the city, were duly signed and
sealed by virtue OF Il resolution adopted Dy
city councils in November last, empower
ing the special committee to execute such
contract. The articles were drawn up bv
City Solicitor Steinmetz, who was present
at the meeting last night, and provide that
the said Gamewell company shall proceed
to provide the city with a telegraphic fire
alarm to be composed OF thirty boxes, and
to include ali the tixin2s and appurten-
anceS usual III iirst-claSS service of
this character. The consideration named.
So, ,527.15, is payable six months after the
time at which the alarm shall DO in good
and satisfactory working condition, and it
is also provided in the agreement that tho
work of construction shall be completed
within sixty days Of tho signing OF tho
articles, that is, by the 18th of March
next. Mr.. Pond stated that work would
be commenced as soon as the members Of
the committee designated the location of
the boxes, and pushed forward with all
possible speed, rs it was to the interest
Of his company to have it finished as soon
as possible. A member of the Gamewell
firm will come at once to Lancaster and
superintend the construction Of the appa-
ratus. Mr.. Jacob Hatz, of this city, will
have charge of the erection of all posts
and wires that may be needed. To-mOr-
row the committee will make 4 tour of the
city for the purpose OF locating the alarm
boxes and whatever additional posts may
be needed, it being understood that the
city will make use OF all tho telegraph
poles at present standing which it can adj
vantageously employ: So that within a
very few days our citizens may expect to
see the work actually under way, and this
long needed improvement on the road to
completion. At last nights meeting
every member of the committee was pres
ent except DR.. Davis, and tho contract re-
ceived the signatures of the seven other
me mbcrs. The doctor has along been a
warm advocate Of the electric alarm and
had he been present the articles would no
doubt have received his signature also.
Indeed, at the close of the meeting, Que Of
the members of the committee took charge
of the papers and volunteered to hunt the
doctor up, and with his signature "rlake
it unanimous actually, as, to all intents
and purposes, it practically was anyhow.
Tonight the committee meets 70: the
purpose OF examining draughtS Of hose
carts aud awarding tie contract for the
building of the same.
