. DEspARD on HIS EAR,

Then Despard got on his ear, and de-
manded to know what authority .Bowcock
had to inquire into the transactions Of the
Board. The Doctor replied that as cit:-
zen Of West Virginia, not to consider the
interests he had personally at stake, he
had the right to know whether or not the
election WAS fair and honest, when it ap-
peared that nine votes had been cast when
there we're only eight men to vote. It was
plain to be seen that there had been some
kind Of trickery or one Of Bowcock's men
had voted one way and then the other.
Then there was talk Of reconsideration and
rectifcation. That meAna, WHOM properly
interpreted, to mako sure Of the Job next
time. Bowccck said they might reconsider
il they desired, but 80 far as lie was con.
cerned he would not be a candidate again
under any circumstance.
Another curious feature about this scien-
tifc bit Of ballot-box stuiling, was that
when tho ballots were looked over, the
three ballots Of eight men each should
have disclosed twenty.four tickets, but
only twenty-five out of the twenty.four
could be produced, the two missing ones
being tickets that should have been voted
for Bowcock. 5. ''D1, i.a;g5 : -17l,

The Negro VS.. the Chinaman.

The emigration of several hundred
negroes from the Southern States to Cali
fornia was noted some two or three weeks
ago, and it seems that the Chinese farm
labOrers IN the southern part of the State
will be supplanted by negroes as rapidly
as possible. Since it has been ascertained
that cotton can be prOftably raised there,
negro labOrers, who are familiar with the
cultivation and harvesting of the staple,
are in great demand, and several thousand
of them will, no doubt, be induced to 90
there before spring.
The most successful experiments in
cotton growing have been in Kern county,
and several very large plantations will be
devoted to its culture next year. In a
very few years there Will be, doubtless,
enough cotton raised in Southern Cali
fOrnia to add considerably to the total
number of bales produced in the United
States.
The CaliiOrnians appear to be delighted
at the prospect of having negroes to take
the places of the Chin9men. The China
men live on nothing almost, wear nothing
to speak of, and hence buy
nothing of consequence from their
employers or the merchants. They
save nearly all their wIges,
and when they have accumulated few
hundred dollars, go back to the Celestial
Kingdom and live in ease the balance of
their lives. With the negroes it is differ
emit. They will do more and better work,
it is alleged, than the Cinnamon, and
while they get better wages, they will
spend all the money they receive. Their
trade, of course, will be quite valuable to
their employers and the merchants near
where they locate.
The Republicans of California are espe-
cially glad to have an influx of negro
voters. The Cinnamon have been as I'M
profitable to the politicians as to the shop
keepers, unless the political capital made
out of their presence is taken into the ac-
count. There are some rough characters
in California, however, and if the negroes
should get some of the rugged Westerners
and the Cinnamon arrayed against them
they will have reason TO wish themselves
back IN the safe and solid South. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that they VIII prosper.

RIaine,s Irish Vote.

What percentage of the Irish vote went
to Blaine in the last election is question
that will never be accurately answered.
1t is pretty certain now that it was very
much Oyerestimated by both Republicans
and Democrats at the time, and while
there were a few notable OBJECTIONS of
Irishmen from the Democratic party, the
great body Of Irish voters stood solid for
the party that they have always support
ed and which has always stood up for
them.
Mrs. Della 4. ,. Parnell, mother of the
gfeat Irish Parliamentary leader, has
written a letter to the New York World, in
which she vindicates Irlshmen, especially
the National Land League, from the
charge of desertiOn. Mrs. Parnell is a
woman of great Information, particularly
about Ireland and Irish affairs, and her
estimate is that Blaine did not receive
more than , per cent. of the Irish vote.
When the immense and INSCRIPTIONS
efforts made by the Republicans to cap
ture a portion of the Irish vote are re-
membered, resulting as they did in the
converting of 'Egan and Sullivan and
few others prominent in the councils Of
the League, the Democrats of the country
can appreciate the expression of Mrs. Par
nell when she says: Il was deeply af-
feeted by the sense, character and devO-
ton of our fOreign-bOrn citizens as shown
by their faithfulness to their first love.
Such traits should be yenerated."
The effect of President Egan's attitude
in the late campaign on the League has
been often commented on. Mrs. Parnell
sustains the view that it did not meet
with the sympathy of any considerable
number of Irish-Americans, and that it
greatly injured the organization. She
says:
So far from the Irish National League
not being almost, If not entirely Demo-
cratic, its apparent apathy is not due to
want of faith or sympathy for the Irish
movement, but to loss of harmony with
| the Executive, who have done nothing
since the Boston Convention. Mr.. Egan's
letter so soon after appeared to indicate
a desire to induce the Leaguers to adopt
his views, but they felt themselves better
| qualified to form an intelligent opinion on
| the politics of this country and in no case
would accept any sort of dictatorship.
1.-The Irish-Americans have not steered
| through hidden rocks and shoals. They
plainly discovered their way. They have
had pass by Scylla and Charybdis, for the
appeals to their love for the old country
were an nut OverpOwering, but tempta-
tiOns have proved them to be among the
best and truest of our voters, of whom
free government has made statesmen"
There is no doubt that all the Irishmen
who could possibly be induced to leave
the Democratic party did so, and tits GER
tainly a matter of cOngratulatiOn that so
few deserted, and that the great body of
Irish Americans stands sOlidly for De
mOcracy. AS Irishmen have been tried
and found faithful they can be implicitly
trusted
