HOW THEY VOTE IN FRANCE.

The system adopted in France for
voting is an improvement upon the
plan we have here in America. The
plan is about as follows:
In the first place, the country is
divided into small voting precincts of
from 100 to 300 voters. Then each
voter must register. On the day of
the election no one is allowed with in
close proximity 10 the polls except
those who have business there. In
other words, no one but the Judges
and regular officials of the voting
place is allowed there, no ticket ped
dlers and no political workers. When
the voter goes to the polls he must
first establish the fact that he has
registered. If the men, who are
present as official chalIengers, do not
intervene the voter is asked: "Can
you read or write p Ifhe answers in
the affirmative he is directed into a
room where ne finds on table the va.
rious tickets and "a pencil with which
to scratch off Objectionable names
No one is allowed in the room but
that single voter. He selects hi,
ticket unobserved and, having folded
it, comes out and deposits his ballot
The point is right here. A man ha,
instilled into him certain principle,
and if left to himself would vote nc
cordlng to his convictions. Grant
ing that man would accept a bride
he would, ifallowed to vote unobserv
ed, vote according to his convictions
regardless of the bride. If COMPEL
ed to take his ticket from the MAJ
whose money he has accepted and t.
vote with that man at his elbow, h,
will vote as he was paid to vote.

Senator Morgan having been quot
ed enormously it appears as saying
in the Tuscaloosa convention that
the Government Of the United States
had no right to improve rivers across
which it run its lines, because it sold
their beds with the land, the Mont
gomery Advertiser states that in the
case Of the Coosa to the Georgia
line, and in other eases in Alabama,
the surveys stop at the banks Of the
rivers. SO far as the measurement and
sale of the government lands are CON

The citizens of Helenn. Ark, were
aroused at an early hour November
%, by what many Of them at first
thought to bea very heavy rain storm,
but on looking out they were sur
lrised TO see clear sky filled with
what appeared to be snow flakes,
and not rain, that was pattering with
such force against the roofs and win
dOws Of the houses. Investigation
proved that the air was filled with
grasshoppers. Citizens who have
seen the dreaded pests sweep down
and consume whole fields in Kansas,
say that in numbers the visitation
of last night exceeds anything ever
seen in that country tenfold. They
were passing from the East to the
West.

As to the fraudulent issue of green
backs, Gen. Rosecrans says he has
the testimony of three good witnesses,
Mr.. Jones among them, that when
Mr.. Dorsey went out to Indiana in
1880 the Republicans shipped him
100000 in 81 greenbacks. This
money came to Mr.. Dorsey in sheets
The Government never issues its
money in this way. The General
therefore argues that this is an evi-
dence Of fraudulent issue. He is
doing his best to discover the evil
dence which will either disprove or
verify these most serious charges of
Republican management.
