The Chicago Inter-Ocean says; The
people of the South have frequently
claimed that the North kept up old issues,
and would not let bygones be bygones.
Another illustration comes from South
Carolina, which places the responsibility
for such condition just where it belongs
upon the bourbon democracy of the South
Such acts are unfortunate for the whole
people. and especially to the people of the
South. There is undoubtedly settled effort
to disfranchise the colored men in South
Carolina by terrorizing them through their
leaders. In the State the number OF
,colored voters is Goa, 1872, nearly double
that of the whites, 39l. 105, and yet the
Bourbon organs boast that at least six out
Of seven Congressman will be democrats.
Such tactics may win temporarily, but in
the end will come disaster South Caro-
lima will be no exception to the rule.

Submit Republicans Stale Platform
1. This resolution does not properly probe
the disease, which consists in intimidation
and bribery Of the voter, as practiced by the
republican party, and which if much longer
continued will eyentuate in the overthrow OF
our elective system Of government; nor does

Of the electoral vote Of 1876, when that party
counted Fl electoral votes for Hayes which
were cast for Tilden.-- The Fer Age.
Let the Boston Herald answer the
above charge against the republican party
about bribery. That paper, though dem
ocratic in its proclivities, disposes Of a
similar charge in the democratic platform
az follows:
What was this PLATFORM First bribery at
elections was denounced-a very righteous
denunciation, too--but the men who took
democratic money for voting the democratic
ticket in 1880, AZ the writer Of this saw men
do, will simply snicker when they read the
resolution and say ''Bion knows how TO put
these things forcibly, doesn't he!' There is
bribery and il il a great and growing evil.
but a party whose leaders had so mneh
money to spend in the last campaign that
they didn't know how To spend it, isn't going
to win many votes by such talk.
As to the counting of the electoral votes
of 1876, it was settled by commission
instituted by democrats and opposed by
republicans, the result was acquiesced in
by the democrats in Congress and by the
party generally, and the complaint started
about Mr.. Tilden being cheated out Of the
Presidency was only part OF scheme de-
vised by Tilden to keep himself before
the people as Presidential candidate for
1882.
His failure to be renominated in 1882,
disposed OF his claim. and gave ample
proof that even his own party took no
stock in his foolish assertion that he had
been cheated ont of the Presidency by the
republicans.

Alexandria Before BOmbartlmeslt.

Within the last few weeks the outline
of Alexandria has undergone a marked
alteration. The Palace, the Harem and the
Arsenal buildings are no longer the only
prominent points that catch the eve. NJ
merous forts and earthworks have come into
prominence, and now the harbor is almost
completely eneircled by grim buildings, the
embrasures in which make II impossible to
mistake their purpose There are eight of
these forts, which are formidable, and all are
placed in such a position that men-ofwar
fairly iaside the harbor would BE- exposed to
a cross.fire at short range. From position
beyond the new breakwater. which guards
the northwestern side of the harbor a hostile
squadron could shell Alexandria and be ex-
posed to the direct returning fire only of the
batteries on the south and east of the harbor.
andft is to avoid the dangers Of cross fire
that the English squadron has moved out to
positions beyond the breakwater. At the
lighthouse, near Eunostus Point, there is a
strong fort which, short time ago, was
known to contain twenty lone smooth bore and
three rifle guns. but which at the present
moment is believed to be strengthened by
several more powerful guns, secretly sent
there by Arab Pacha. About midway between
this fort and the khedive's palace there is a
new earthwork thrown up. and troops have
been seen taking guns and munitions of war
to il at night time. A short distance beyond
the palace there is another new earthwork.
similarly supplied with guns and war mate
rial within the last few days. Elaborate
preparations to resist an attack have been
made by the Egyptians IN the vicinity of the
palace, and il is well known that Arab Bey
intends to make stubborn resistance at Ras-
el-Tin (''the peninsula of figs") and on the
strongly entrenched ground which adjoins
the palace itself. To the southeast of the
Arsenal Fort kafare lies and protects the
neck of land which separates the new port
from the old port. while at the same time il
commands the Frankish or Christian portion
of the city. Beyond this fort. which the
Egyptians have carefully armed with rifle
guns of heavy calibre, q chain of fortihcs-
tons and earthworks stretches along the en-.
tire southern line of the harbor. One tort a
short time ago was known to possess two
guns, another twelve, and three Others
1--WE, two and seven guns respectively.
Az these forts occupy = very important po-
sition in the bombardment, and will be the
first which the British will attempt to silence
from the Mediterranean, all these forts have
recently been strengthened, 50 that in all
probability the figures just given as to the
number of their guns fall far abort of the
reality. Earthworks have been also thrown
up near the railway station to prevent the
comWunicatiens with Cairo from being in

HOUSE.

In the committee on the sundry civil ap-

offered an amendment to the proposition
made yesterday by Mr.. Blackburn, to pay
months extra pay to the House employees,
prohibiting any of the money so appropri-
ated from being contributed to aid in election
of any person to Office. Rejected.
Mr. Backburn's proposition was then

Mr. Randall, of Pa, offered an amend
ment appropriating $4,000 for the widow of
Capt. Patterson, of the coast survey.
Mr.. Hiseock, of New York, raised point
of order on this amendment which, after
long discussion was submitted to the COM
mittee and the point sustained.
MIR. Holman offered an amendment appro-
priating 900 to enable the President to
carry out the statute to promote civil service
reform and official accountability, and spoke
in favor OF it. Mr.. Dingley also favored it..
Mr.. Cox followed and attacked the system
of political assessments.
Mr.. Reed said it was surprising to see
what little mouse traps democrats always
try to set. Look at the Chinese bill two
thirds of them were in favor of 10 years ex-
clusion, but they voted for 90 years, and said
we will carry this to the republican president
and make this great democratic issue that
will sweep the whole Pacific coast, and 10 !
Oregon went up from 1900 to 5000 republican
majority. The democratic mouse-trap ex-
ploded and there was nobody in it.
Mr.. Holman's amendment was then
adopted. Adjourned.
