At the recent election in Upper Pitts

farmer of the township and Republican

who had been in his employ, on the ground
that lac had not been a resident of the
state long enough II eutitle him 10 vote.
Potts originally came from Maryland. and
has for the last two year, come to Jersey
in the spring, and hired ont hy the month
for the seasoI returning 20 his home in
Maryland in the winter. Mr.. Sunmerill
accompanied his challenge with warning
to the young man that he was about to
commit an unlaw full act for which he could
be punished The young man desist, q
and declined to take the cath " hich the
judge Of election was about to administer
to him, and 50 the Democratic ticket was
one vote short. This so stirred up the bile
of some of the Democrats in the neighbor-

profanity, that she felt obliged to remon-

twenty probably more. men standing on
her pavement (of whom the majority were
intoxicated, that they could not stay on
her pavement, if they swore. They then
insolcntly moved off to the very edge of
the pavement and stood swearing until
about one o'clock.

about this conduct that is gentlemanly,

Among the causes of this increase of crime
We name: The decay of moral sentiment

lay which exist in the administration of jus

especially the excise laws. which are virtual
~ dead letter: the alarming increase in
the use of strong drink Increasing at a
ratio threefold greater than that of the

power; the ostracizing of discharged Grim

flooding the public with Observation-Disclosures
literature, intlaming passion, corrupting
the young, and bringing on carnival of vice
and crime in every conceivable form.
Epidemics of crime are sure to follow vivid
