NOT "LIGHT-COLoKKM.,,

1t now appears that it was not the eight
colored" vote which defeated Robert Smalls
in the Seventh district of South Carolina.
In fact, there was nothing light-colored about
the process by which he was defeated.
The Democratic managers in South Carroll
ma some time ago decided to fix it so that the
colored voters could have but one congress
man. -Four counties were put into con-
gressional district in order to leave as few
Republican votes possible in other dis
tricts. AS they do not adjoin each other and
connection had somehow to be made in order
to comply with the requirement that dis
trict shall be composed of contiguous terrific
ry strips were picked out of six other coun-
ties, with care to put into the district as
many colored votes as possible. In this dis
trict is Republican majority of twenty-five
thousand votes, but this fact was not allowed
to stand in the way this year. In the eighty
precincts of the district not one of the mana
gers, of whom there are three for each pre-
cinct, was Republican. In several precincts
where the Republicans have always had
majority of several hundreds the votes were
not counted at all account of some alleged
lrregularity in the manner of holding the cleo
ton. In others, Where the votes as count
ed by the precinct managers gave Smalls
large majorities, they Were rejected by the
county canvassers on such technical grounds
as that the registration books were not at the
polls, or that barriers were not set up around
the polling place as required by law. Mr..
Elliott, the Democratic candidate, made
formal protest against the votes of four pre-
cincts on these grounds, and the votes were
rejected accordingly. The same default was
made in other precincts which gave Demo-
cratic majorities, but the voters from these
were not rejected
The Democratic party and Mr.. Elliott will
doubtless fully profit by this swindle, for it
will do Mr.. Smalls no good to protest to
Democratic Congress. But this and other
crimes of the kind will have to be settled for

TFrom the Chicago Herald.l

''I was in New York one day last week, -
said railroad agent, who looks after the
immigration business for a trunk line, ''and
while at Castle Garden saw a very ludicrous
incident. Hanging on the wall was a map
of the United States containing on the mar
gin the advertisement of firm of land and
immigration agents. Printed on the map,
over thes slocation of several western cities,
was red flag, designated to draw attention
to the various points at which the firms
branch offices were located. Chicago was
thus marked, and 80 were Kansas City, Oma-
ha, st. Paul and Denver. While I was
standing there an Englishman came up, looked
at the map and Immediately became greatly
excited.
&C sEre's co. he exclaimed, pulling out
his railroad ticket. Him booked for
Homa'a, and on the map theer Hi see hit is
Hanarchist town. Hill go back to Hingland
first, so theer! Cawn't change the booking,
y knowP
"And that wild Englishman took on at
great rate and rushed around asking every
body he saw if the Hanarchists had complete
possession of Omaha, and if it was safe for
a traveller to set foot in the town, and If he
would have to pass through Chicago to get
to Omaha and if there wasn't some way in
which he could have his booking changed,
and SO on When at last he calmed suf-
ficient by to tell the officers the cause of his
excitement it was learned that he had taken
the red flags on the map to mean that the
cities SO marked were i'll the power of the
Anarchists. Wasn't it funny2"

Mrs. E. P. W. Packard, of Chicago, is en-
deavoring to bring before western legisla-
lures bill providing that every patient in
an asylum shall be permitted to write one
letter week to any person he chooses with
out the superintendent's surveillance. Mrs.
Packard, in presenting this measure before
the Association of Orthodox Clergy at Mine
neapolis, related some of her personal expe-
riences as patient in an Illinois asylum in
proof of the aeed of such legislation. She
claims to have been committed to an asylum
by her husband, a Presbyterian clergy OF
Illinois, not because she was insane, but be-
cause she had changed her religious views
and adopted more liberal belief. She left
at home six children, the youngest an infant
eighteen months old. She was kept in the
asylum three years simply because, as she
believes, she could not get q letter to the
court asking for relief. Then habeas cor
pus got her out and after q long trial she was
released. Her husband left the country, tax
| ing all the property and the minor children

More building has been done in Philadel-
