satisfactory and careful investigation
Oh case OF Dallot-box stiitling
During the sway of the Republican,
party and since the ballot box lost
sahctity In the eyes Of the common
people, because OF its pollution by uni.
Nersai suffrage, elections have become.
North and South, more and more
larcicai. No crime or assault upon
chrislianity or upon government. In
modern times, has wrought more dis
astrons results than knaveries of Re.
publican returning boards, and the
counting inn Of Warmoths and KEEL
ioggs In Louisiana and Florida, aud of
Hayes IN Washington. In conformity
with the conduct and example OF their
leaders, the people, seeing how value.
less are votes "kilied by those of
negroes, or never counted by
party managers of elections, attach no
value to the privilege of suffrage. aud
great numbers of the best classes, North
ana South, no longer vote. Universal
suffrage means, st last, the mastery of
the worst and most ignorant, and the
practical Acknowledgement of the best

No wonder, then, that congressman,
save when majorities are overwhelm-
ing, never know whether they or
others are elected, and no wonder that
many seats of congressman are con.
tested. The inisfortunes of the South,
am pleased 10 know, are
not peculiar to the South.
Ballot-boS stuiling is not restricted by
parallels of latitude or longitude. 1t
was almost UNSUITABLE in the South,
since ii warded of the insuffarable DOM
nation of negro-elected knaves and
Adventures. Its practice was mat
ter of necessity. II was the plea of
seli-defense in ease of murder in the
North the defendants can only plead
guilty. North and South, the elections
