THE STATE CANVASS IN NEW
YORK.

The Board of Election Canvassers OF
the State Of New York met yesterday
afternoon at Albany and adjourned over
until to-day, as the returns from several
counties had not arrived at the capital.
The session of the Board is limited by
law to five days. Whether all this
will be consumed it is not pos
sible TO say; but whether it is
or not makes little difference.
The duties of the Board are of a formal
and ministerial sort only; in other words,
they have only to foot up a column OF
fiQures-the votes of 60 counties. There
is no longer any speculation or anxiety In
any part of the United States. There is
practically no contest. The result OF the
Presidential election is already known
absolutely and accurately enough. The
certificates of election given by the
Board Of CanvAssers will not in any way
emphasize the accomplished fact.

A NEW BALLOT BOX.

A new style of ballot box was used in
Massachusetts, for the first time at the
recent election. The voter deposits his
ballot face downward on an inclined
plane and the turning of a crank carries
it between a pair Of rubber rollers, and
the ringing Of a bell Jul that the
ballot is within the box. On one end of
the box is a registering machine, in plain
sight. containing numbers, the register
advancing n every time q ballot goes
through. This arrangement SEEM to
cover about all the requisites Of a desira-
BILE and convenient ballot box, and there
is no apparent reason why the whole
country might not adopt it with advan-
tage,

A COMPLETE sOMERsAULT.

Deacon Parkinson, formerly of the
Carson Tribune, but now of the Port of

rantankerous Republican. Being domi-
ciled in a port of entry, however, Cleve-
lands election seems TO have started
fresh fires in his bosom. He winds up
q long editorial in praise Of Democracy
with this bugle note Of freedom:
Again. awake We sleeping hills and
shout ye ladened valleys. Cheer, cheer,
sons of America, for the blessed deliver
ance!

THE wHTRLIGlG OF TINE.

Fifteen years ago Frank Moses and
Daniel II. Chamberlain were engaged IL
the series of operations which fastened
upon South Carolina a fraudulent debt OF
many millions. Each held at different
times the office of Governor, and each
used his official position for all it was
worth in the enrichment of himself and
associates. Two paragraphs in a New
York paper show that the precious pair
have since drifted apart. One is as fol-
lows:
"Ex.Governor Moses of South Caro-
lima, who is under arrest, charged with
swindling Rev. DIR. Rexford, Rev. Mr..
Atterbury and others, attempted suicide
this morning by hanging himself in his
cell. Mr.. Moses was brought into the
Police Court this afternoon and charged
with swindling. He pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to three months in the
House of Correction"
Such is the present position OF a man
who, it is said, realized millions from his
official position, but failed to make pro-
vision for the time when these sources OF
wealth should be closed to him. 1t
happened on the same day that Mr..
Chamberlain made a reform speech be-
fore a number Of Republicans who were
unable &c see their way clearly to vote
for Blaine, in which occurred the follow
ing passage:
II can see no evil which can possibly
come upon US as nation so fatal and
deadly as the elevation to our highest
Office of a man whose public life is known
to be tranished by efforts to make money
by the use of his official station and
powers."-San Francisco Post.
The Post should have added for infor-
nation that Chamberlain was a carpet
Dagger" and Moses a "~scalawag." Cham
berlain who appears in the role of re-
former is bad enough, for he is a first
water hypocrite, but the other fellow,
Moses, is a shade worse than he and
deserves to be where he is, behind the
bars. He was Gov. Bonham's Private
Secretary when the war of the rebellion
broke out; and when Fort Sumter fell
into the hands of the C~onfederates he
howled for the privilege of being the
man to go and haul down the United
States flag. 1t is just such loud-mouthed
scrubs as these that towards are made o.
and that naturally take to stealing in
small way. We are happy to say thai
we do not believe either Moses or Cham
berlain represents anybody besides him
self. They were only a fungus growth
in the malarious period Of so.called IRE
construction" We are hardly willing
to make their own party, the Republi
can, responsible for their acts.
