TUESDAYS ELECTION,
a Light Vote Poled in Some Wards
and a Heavy Vote in Others
Some ofthe Candidates who
Won and Some who
Failed to Win.

Tuesd US election in this city must
be quite satisfactory to the Republi-
cans, while the party suffers the loss
Of a supervisor in the upper district
the city has a capable man in that
position in Mr.. Hamilton who has
been deseryedly re elected. The Re
publican candidates in nearly every
ward have been elected by good ma
iority's except in the Eighth ward
where the greatest contest took pla ;e
for the aIdermanship. Although by
small majority Maj. J. w. Simpson
carried off the much coveted prize,
it was a victory over which the Major
may feel proud, as the opposition to
him while not formidable was
one which in deceptive manner
drew votes from him, had the field
been clear of independents bis oppo-
nent Levi Wolfnger would haze been
showed under SO deep that it would
have taken months to have dug him
cut. Mr.. Wolfnger does not belong
to that class Of democracy which
holds forth in the Eighth, but is one
of the upper ten and hence was not
popular with the 1agtail Of the party
in both precincts Of the ward, the
unusual event of the election of two
Democratic judges and majority
inspector in the first precinct
occurred. The one Alonzo Moytr.
with a very unsavory record,
and the other, N. L. Butler,
gentleman ambitious for Democratic
favors. In view of the importance Of
next falls campaign the election Of
two Democratic judges in one ward
and Republican ward at that may
be the result Of unforeseen trouble.
VIM. Sellers who run for judge
against Butler it is claimed Lost the
support of the colored voters by
voting for an independent alderman
thus defeating himself and the party.

The call for a convention, issued
by the colored men of northwestern
Pennsylvania, for a convention to
elect delegates to the National Con
vention, to be held in Pittsburg, April
20, should be followed by Dauphin,
Cumberland, Berks, Northumberland
and surrounding counties, on the
principle that the fewer the delegates
the more work will be done, and the
better able we would be to send our
delegation without being dependent.
Let the voters of Dauphin issue call
for convention in central Pennsyl-
Vania.

Investigation Of Southern Out
RACES.

That Copiah county, Miss, is afford
ing the country through inyestig7-
ton al extended knowledge of south
ern deyiItry and cussedness will readi
ly be seen by reading the testimony
Of witnesses before the Senate com
mittee now in New Orleans, l. is
enough to cause the stoutest heart TO
quail when thinking that in any
section Of this country that a man
carries his life in bis hand when be
attempts to exercise his elective fran
chise. The testimony of these wit
ncsses arc an old story, and the half
has never been told how men and WON
en- have been murdered, outraged,
whipped and hunted like foxes Oh ac-
count Of their political faith and
color.
Never upon Gods earth has such a
reign of terror existed as have ex-
listed south of Mason q Dixon's line,
both before and since the war, aggra-
waited by defeat in war, deprived Of
their slave traffic, they have grown
reckless and fearless Of all results,
and have determined to rule or die,
and die they should.
The shooting Of Matthews, by a
man whom he had wined and dined,
because Of his desire to exercise the
right Of an American citizen, shows
that there is no fellowship between
men in that section Of the country,
where there is a difference Of political
faith.
The acme of southern honor is
reached when these same devils send
to the United States Congress a man
who declared from the stump, that
what they could not accomplish by
ballots they would do with the shot
gun. This man, Barksdale, occupies
a seat in Congress to day, having
taken an oath to support the Consti,
tuition and abide by the laws Of the
land. He is there among honest,
pure hearted American citizens, who
would not deprive him of a single
right he enjoys. Barksdale, however,
is not the only southern devil in
Congress, who, were it in their
power, would as soon shed the blood
of a northern man in Washington as
in Copiah county, Miss. But what
is to be the result of these outrages :?
Is the arm Of this government too
weak TO protect her citizens? Can
not the people, in the name of hu-
mainly, in the name of civilization,
wipe out this disgrace upon the ma
ton, or must we stand still and let it
work cut its own end.

Color Came.

There is much for the average
colored citizen to learn about religions
politics and everything else. we
believe that it is useless to grow i'm
patient at the slow progress they
make, in many respects, that man
who has paid dearly for bis experience
ought to value it the more highly, is
always conceded, and that some men
know less as they grow older has also
been made apparent by their crablike
progress, and why man professedly
Republican should vote for man
professedly Democratic, simply on
account OF color, and by so doing ell
evate him to a position where, by
arbitrary ruling, great injury might
result to his own party, we cannot
see. The veters in the second pre-
circ. of the Eighth ward elected Mr..
n. L. Butler as Judge Of Elections.
In this, no doubt, many voted for
MIR. Butler from the fact of bis being
coIored, but this question Of color
was entirely eliminated when Mr..
Buffers name appeared upon tie
Democratic ticket. The Democrats
being wise enough to know that they
could not elect a white Democratic
judge, played the color game, which
worked upon the sympathies of the
colored brothers and captured their
vote, giving the Democrats a judge
in both precincts, and the majority
Inspector in enc precinct. Mr., But
Ter, to earn the applause of his party,
will be more vigilant and give more
trouble to Republican voters than
any other of the rAg-tail Democracy,
had they been elected to the office.
The November election, County,
State and National, is vastly impor-
tant, therefore draw your own con-
illusions.
Mr. W. 3. Smith, We congratulate
you and trust that you will lot only
commence where Mayer King left
of, but in the recognition of men of
fitness, from all factions Of the Re
publican party, you will give liberal
representations to the black allies.

WARNING TO MORMONS.

New York Herald: The latest re-
ports concerning the attack on the
Mormon elders at Cane Greek, Lewis
county, Tennessee, give the number of
the murdered elders ut two and state
that two other MormOns were killed
and one Mormon woman wounded.
The occurrence is 10 be greatly re-
GREETED as marking the height reached
by the state of feeling which had been
cngendered by the Mormon Efforts at
settlement and prOselytizing. Ii
should be received, too, by the deter
mined Mormon element having IFS
seat and fertilization in Utah as n
warning to be considered. When popu-
lar feeling in this country is once
aroused to adherence of any system
or institution it is not easily restrain
ed. Mormonism has owned its safety
of late to the fact that il has not prac-
tically intcrfered with its neighbors.
But its imprudent antagonism in the
past to the official authority of the
United States and the murderous acts
committed by the Danites have nciih-
err been forgotten nor condoncd; and
though these do not justify such an
attack as that of last week any more
than does the obstinate existence of
the institution of Mormonism, il may
be AT least believed that they explain
il. Mormonism is morbid growth,
to which gravitatc all the most dam
gcrous because the most tractable
elements of outcast Europe. IL has
either got to be absorbed or cxtir-
pated.

GOD AND POLITICS.

When Gov. ST. John lived here in
Kansas all the time, and was recog.
-nized as :" one of our fellows" he was
not particularly distinguished for his
pieiv. lie was considered man OF
good moral character. rs are MAORI
~ of Kansas men. and was member
of the Congregational church i'm good
standing, but his leading characteristic
was not devoutncss nor was the SUBJ
ject of religion one that came most
prominently to the front in his CONVEX
sation. Since his nomination for the
presidency, however, he INDUCES in
pious phrases to an extent unknown
before: insists that he is especially
under the guidance of the Almighty,
aud speaks of the Supreme Being with
q confidence and freedom unknown
outside of the salvation army.
Heretofore Gov. st. John has only
spoken of his personal relation with
his Maker; the belief that he, St. John /,
was in Gods hands and endesvoring
TO carry out His will, but in his adj
dress accepting the Pittsburg nomina-
ton, he may be said TO introduce God
into shs field of politics in these words:
SIN this struggle let ms ever remember
that We are accountable to God: that
our duty to him is paramount to our
allegiance to any political party; that
political ties will never in his sight ex-
ucuse ballot for any party that docs
6tand fQarlessly for the right
noaks that God in this strng-

In reply 10 the EAGLES article on
Col. Holiday the Commonwealth says:
Col. Holiday has, we think, voted
for every Republican President put in
nomination since 1864. lie has never
been considered Democrat. He is
an intense free-tradcr, but has not
been considered a Democrat since the
war at any rate.
While we have great respect and
admiration for Col. Holiday ms man,
having known him since early in 81
and his brother and his brothers
family since '4s, we cant think it pos
sible that we are SO far of on his polit-
ical convictions. Ii we remember
rightly Colonel Holiday represented
Kansas Democracy one or more times
in National Convention. We ask ii
for information, but was not Col.
Holiday member of the last Nation
al Democratic Convention, held in
Charleston, and did he not vote for
Mr.. jefferson Davis ?

rs q third party, and il against the
Republicans and Democrats. We say
this quite as revercntly as St. John
does. That is what he means, and we
are guilty Of no lack of reverence in
giving the sentiment in our Ian
guage.
We are obliged to take issue with
Gov. st. John in this matter. 1t is
possible his spiritual insight is clearer
than that of other men: that he is in a
position to receive more direct reve-
latiOn from heaven than the rest of us,
but we very much doubt ii. Our inn
preston is that there are several mill
ion other men in this country whose
conscience is rs active, and whose
moral sense is as cultivated, as Gov.
st. Johns, and who are as apt to dis
Germ right from wrong as he; and
these persons agree that it is a shame
to throw away his vote when he can
cast it with those who wish well to a
good cause, and that il is a double
shame to cast vote to aid the tri-
umph, temporary or perpetual, OF the
enemies of law and society. Men
Judge Gods justice by what is consid-
cred justice among men; there is no
other standard of reference or COMPARE
son; and that man is not considered just
by his fellows who votes as the banded
hosts of evil wish him to vote; and
pleads that the act will rebound to
good five, ten, twenty, or hundred
years from now. The wisdom of God
is known in men as common sense:
and common sense never yet directed
a man to put club in his enemy's
hand with the idea of wrcnching it
away from him forty years hence.
This course is what st. John advises
and he invokes Gods blessing on the
operation. lie and others will find
that God will not protect them from
the consequences of their own folly.
Sincerity is good thing, but it has
never yet changed the course or laws
of the moral or physical universe.
And one of those rules is, that he who
refuses bread because he can get but
half loaf, or because he did not bake
it himself, will be written down an ass,
whose stupidity is not less noticed on
account of the solemn and devout
movement of his ears, or the devotion
