NEW ELECTION LAW.-The new election
law enacted by the Legislature at its recent
session went into practical operation Fri
day. The local boards, upon WHOM are
imposed the duty Of choosing the new cleo
ton officers, organized preparatory to per-
forming that work. Under the new law
the democrats are given practical control
Of all the election machinery in the State.
IL is made condition, however, that, when
it can be done, both political parties shall
have representation among the Judges OF
election and registrars. The Mahoneites
will at once make ur Al case TO test before
the courts the validity OF the new law. One
of the points relied upon by them to obtain
favorable decision is that the joint resou-
ton under which the members OF the cleo.
toral boards were chosen by the Legislature
did moi receive the approval Of the Execu-
tive. Another point is that the new law
requires that the judges Of election and
registers shall he able to read and write.
The Mahoneites hold that this require m ont
is in conflict with the constitution of the
State The officers chosen under the new
law, if it stands the test Of the courts, will
conduct the election this fall at which mem
bers of the Legislature are to be elected
who will choose Mahoue's successor in The
United States Senate. Should the decision
of the court be uniavorable 10 the democrats
they will be almost sure TO convene the
LEGISLATURE in extra session early this spring
to remedy the defect found by that tribunal.

ouakes have left not tree standing; and

There II "A river
FuIl-fiowing ever
With swift on-rushing pillows,
And its gloomy tide.
Dark, deep and wide,
Is edged with weeping willows.
There sin and death
Plow their liquid path.
And paddle with ceaseless oar.
And up or down
II is all their own
And theirs from shore Ia shore.
They are passing now
See that foaming prov,
As through floating wrecks IL goes;
OF lives debased,
And names disgraeed,
And the dTift of broken vows.
No being of good,
Seeks that turbid flood,
OR ventures its life therein
Only crimes dark tribe,
VIII there imbibe.
And the howling brood of sin.
In its poisoned tide,
No fish abide,
And beast and bird ne'er come.
To quench their thirst
In its waves accurst,
IL is called the River of Rum.
Ger its surface rise
Expiring cries
Voices of fearful Woe;
And the CHASTITY tones,
Point To dead mems bones,
That lie in the depths below.
The deadly rills.
From thousand stills,
Maintain its ceaseless flow;
Till II falls nj last,
With volume vast.

You will sleep i'm its depths forever.
