DURING THE BATTLE

and for two or three days after I was
unable to walk except with crutch.
es."
During another night of the bat
tle," says General Grant, Grain fell
in torrents, and our troops were ex-
posed to the storm without shelter I
made my headquarters under tree a
few hundred yards back from the
river bank Ny ankle was still so
much swollen from the fall of my
horse the Friday night preceding that
I could get no rest. The drenching
rain would have precluded the posi-
bility of sleep without this additional
cause. Some time after midnight,
growing FESTIVE under the storm and
the continual pain, 1 moved back 10
the log house on the bank. This had
been taken as hospital, and al night
wounded men were being brought in,
their wounds dressed leg Or an arm
amputated, as the case might require,
and everything being cone to save
life or alleviate suffering. The sight
was more uncomfortable than encoun
tering the rebel fire, and returned to
my tree in the rain"
THE LAST CHARGE.
General Grant describes the last
charge at Shiloh as follows: 'That
day everything was favorable to the
Federal side. We now had become
the attacking party. The enemy was
driven back all day, as we had been
the day before, until finally he beat a
precipitate retreat The last point
held by him was near the road from
Landing to Corinth, on the left OF
Sherman and McClernand. About
o'clock being near that point and
seeing that the enemy was giving way
everywhere else [ gathered up a couple
of regiments Or parts Of regiments
from troops near by me, formed them
in line of battle and marched them
forward, going in front myself
to prevent premature or long
range firing. At this dangerous point
there was a clearing between us and
the enemy favorable for charging
although exposed. [ knew that the
enemy were ready to break and only
wanted a little encouragement from
us to go quickly and join the II
friends, who had started earlier.
After marching within musket range
I stopped and let the troops pass, the
command charge was given and
executed with loud cheers and with a
run, when the enemy broke"

Counting the Silver Men.

Congressman Warner says that there
are 200 members Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives who can be depended on to
vote against a suspension Of the coinage
Of the silver dollars. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Warmers statement is guess work
Scudder's Investment Agency at Chicago
figures up the votes for silver as follows:
ave find that of the 149 Representatives
who voted last winter against the suspen.
sion of the rules in order to allow con.
sideration of the civil appropriation bill
containing the clause authorizing the
temporary suspension of the coinage OF
the silver dollar, 95 have been reelected
and are members of the present Congress
These may be counted on to vote in the
same way again. OF the 11S votes in
favor OF suspending the silver coinage,
81 only have been reelected. The silver
men seem to have been more successful
than their opponents in securing re-elec.
ton. OF the new members and of those
not voting on this question last winter lin
all I'D more than One-half come from
those parts of the country known to be
ppBuScu W tuC ouopthoiOn VI silver GULL
age. 1t is, therefore, probable that al
least $50 votes in the present House OF
Representatives can be counted on to op.
pose and prevent any attempt to suspend
silver circulation"
1t will be found doubtless that all o.
those returned members who voted fol
silver last winter will not be found on the
side of silver next winter. Within the
year there has been quite a change il
public sentiment with respect to silver
The Southern members have certainly
found out that heir section does not favor
the continued coinage OF the silver dollar
and it would not be surprising if Scud
der's Agency were wide of the mark rela
tive to the silver sentiment among the
new members.

Preventing Election Frauds.

There is desire all over the country
tor free and fair elections. The amount
of fraud now practiced in elections in any
part Of the country is probably very small
compared to what it was a few years ago.
Elections are tolerable fair nearly every
where, except in few notorious locali-
ties. and in such cities as Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Philadelphia and New Orleans.
In New York. where frauds were so con-
mon few years ago, there is now com
paratiyely little complaint. The same is
true of Boston, and some other cities.
The new election law adopted by Chi
cago Tuesday last is thought to be a very
excellent one. 1t is a local option law,
and can be adopted by any city or town
in Illinois. II provides for small election
precincts, with not over 450 voters each.
No man can vote who is not on the regis
try list, and no one can be put on the
registry list unless he is qualified voter.
The lists are printed and posted two
weeks before elections, and the voting and
counting is carefully watched by super
visors representing the different candi-
dates and parties. Provision is made for
a speedy count and for Immediately an
nouncing the result at each precinct.
1t is pretty certain that the better ele-
ments OF both the great political parties
in Illinois will unite in enforcing the law.
and that any considerable amount of fraud
will hereafter be impossible. The cor
rupt elements of both parties in Chicago
have been active rivals in the preparation
OF election frauds. and it is gratifying to
know that there is a prospect that they
will be foiled in the future.
There is probably little room for hope
that Philadelphia and Cincinnati will fol-
low the example Of Chicago very soon.
Perhaps pure political methods may after
awhile be demanded in those cities, as
we'll as in others which are now given
over 10 INSCRIPTIONS rings and corrupt
methods.
