The Senate Committee on Elections re-
ports that bulldozing at the South is bv
no means at an end that there is such a
thing-despite the hot denials of newspa-
pers and partisanS-as suppression of votes
OF colored citizens IN the South. In the
election at Jackson, Miss, for instance, the
committee tell us that the suppression was
total and that no colored man voted, and
that the resolution of colored men to alb
stain from voting was due to terrorism, in
spired by the actions of the White League
and OF committee appointed by it. The
testimony taken shows that Samuel Liy-
ingston, a Deputy United States Marshal ;
r. E. Wilson, Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue and two other persons engaged
in the service Of the United States, were
active participants in the proceedings
which led to the suppression of the vote.
The last finding bring the matter home to
the Democratic Administration, and puts
Mr. Cleveland squarely to the test of re-
buking or defending the Southern outrage.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has conten.led that
the question Of a free ballot at the South is
an oyershadowing one at this time; that
in the Importance of its relation to the
stability of republican institutions, it
dwarfs any other before the people. In
these columns it has been shown
that the official machinery is so adjusted
in Georgia that it is a physical impossible
ity for anything like the full vote of the
people to be cast. We have also demon
strated that there is not a Congressional
District in Georgia, the vote of which in
dictates that the Congressman certified rep
resents even a sixth part of the people of
the district. We have shown that the
marvellous increase of the April vote in
Louisiana is to be accounted for on no
other hypothesis than that gross frauds
against coiored voters were perpetrated.
Such of the press as have made these ex-
hibits have been tainted with Haunting
the bloody shirt" but that is the siliest
OF replies to serious accusation. Now that
Senate committee by majority report
declares that suppression of the colored
vote is practiced, the subject cannot longer
be ignored by the Administration. If it
remains sileut it will be construed as con-
fession that it dare not offend the solid
South. If it acts as it should, it will ex-
hibit more courage and loyalty to vital
principle of free government than we be-
iieve it entertains, since the Administra-
ton ha; all along known of these outrage
Gus invasionS of the rights of citizens, but
has through its President or the House
majority uttered not one word of rebuke.
or in any manner manifested its disap-
proval of the methods employed to keep
the South solidly Democratic.

Desperate and Fatal shooting ARRAY or

Icopyight, 1855, by tie California associated Fressi
SALT LAKE, July 24th.-Information has
just reached here of bloody shooting af-
fray that occurred at Warm Creek, in Mil
lard county, near the Nevada line, on Fri
day. George Bishop rode eighty-five miles
to Oasis, on the Utah Central Railroad,
without resting, to bring the tidings. He
SAYS:
Thomas Nool:es and Isaac Preston, part
ners, had difficulty with a man named
Alexander Doultree over the possession of a
certain piece of land. All the parties met
on the land in question on Friday night,
and hot dispute occurred. Nookes was
riddled with buckshot and instantly killed,
while Preston had narrow escape from
the same fate.
Bishop was unable 20 State how many
parties were implicated, but from the fact
that Nookes had a full load of buckshot in
his breast, another in the thigh, and rifle
bullet in another part of his body, it would
seem that more than one (Doultree) was
concerned in the shooting.
Later-Doultree has arrived ct Oasis and
given himself up.

youths (the coming citizens, taxpayers and
yotersl into the present the permitted &C
knowledged, recognized and accepted methods.
Fealty to the people must be established in
order to secure faithful servants in public
places.
But the difficulty is, and the jury fully
recognizes it, that when the people do act
and assert their will, they do not maintain
their protest and reform at a white heat.
By Indifference affairs are permitted to
drift back into the old channels. This
disposition has been largely checked in
Eastern cities and notably in Philadelphia,
and in many New England and some
Western municipalities, by variety of
organizations, such at Town Improvement
Associations, Committees of One Hun
dred," Citizens Municipal Reform Asso-
Citations, and even by protesting political
organizations, something like one existing
in this city, though the efforts of the latter
class are confined to party reforms. All
these means are of the order of dis
ciplined organization upon the side of
the shrewd and mastery bosses. This con-
test, therefore, with vicious bossism is very
much one of organization, without which
detained protests effect nothing.
That organization in opposition to boss
control is being resorted to more and more
throughout the country, and that it is in
the main Invested of partisanship, is an
indication that substantial progress in
municipal and other reform is being made
It is indeed quite impossible, under the
Tatchful eye of vigilant and fearless
press, that Tweed era can be reproduced
in New York City, that the rule of plum
der and age of office brokerage and munic-
| ipal extravaganza can be renewed in Phil
adeiphia; or that under high-license
benefcence in Illinois, Chicago can ever
again be placed so absolutely under the
| thumb of the saloon infuence-which is
the chief weapon of the bosS-or that
under the regulative methods obtaining
in Ohio the cities of that State will ever
be bound again absolutely to the wheels
of the liquor and the boss influences.
The evidences on al sides testify to the
growth of sentiment against, and the de-
yelopment of power in resistance to vic
ious bosSism in municipalities or in States.
There are to be eventually free police de-
partments, Cnfettered municipal boards,
and citizens openly ambitious to do public
Official service, but not necessitated to first
bend the knee at the altar of bossism. As
the San Francisco Bulletin well says, it
means great deal "that the time

A GRAND JURY UPON BossIsM

Il IS comparatively Of recent date that
an official inquisition dared to make polit-
ical methods the subject Of sharp criticism.
Within two or three years the Grand
Juries of San Francisco, however, have not
feared to lend their influence to the max
ing Of political bossism odious before the
people. On Monday the last Grand Jury
of that city filed an exceedingly lengthy
report It's main topic, outside Of the usual
review of the domestic economy of county
institutions, is the viciousness of bossism
nd its baneful effect upon the commun-
ity
The subject is handled with great deal
of vigor by the jury, but withal very
bunglingly and ramblingly. The case
against the IAN Francisco bosses is not
presented in that orderly and logical
manner it deserved; the jury speaks, in
deed, as if agitated by feelings it could not
adequately express, and as if nervous
haste to advise reform had crippled its
ability to do so. Nevertheless the report
is very important one, and the arraign-
ment of vicious boss influences by this
high official body is evidence of the
slow but steady drift of public sentiment,
not only in San Francisco, but generally
throughout the land, in that direction and
toward ultimate extinction, or at least safe
control OF the influences complained Of
There are San Franciscans who, them
selves abhoring boss methods, yet cannot
perceive any distinction between leaders or
organizers and bosses. To them all cap
tains of legions in contests for power and
place are commissioned autocrats command
ing hireling forces. II revolution takes
place that Gusts autOcratic bosses of a given
class and seats victory upon the banners of
opposition leadership. the doubling citizen
expresses the opinion that it is, after all,
"but change Of bosses" This expression
can have no other Interpretation than of
apologizing for, or excuse of submission to
the former rule. In fact it is despairing
expression. Thus, many of the citizens
now appealed to by the Grand Jury stand
in the way of reformations by declaration
of want of faith ia them, and point out
that sooner or later the old order of things
is restored. That there is some force
In this is not to be denied, but that it is be-
coming less and less tolerable is unuues-
tionable. For all the signs of the age in
dictate that inactivity by citizens in the
concerns of good government Is growing
less.
San Francisco is itself an example of
this truth. She revolted with violence in
1856 against infamous domination, and be-
tween the years 1858 and 1872, on at least
SIX or seven occasions, and each time
with greater ease her people broke
away from all political parties and bv the
action of independent citizens, irrespective
OF political faith, she drove out the money
changers from her municipal temple, and
reformed her systems from the bench down
to the police department. Frequently.
since, she has shown the capacity to re-
cover the reins of government from the
hands of bosses into which, by the quies-
cence and patience of the people, and the
increase Of the vicious elements, they had
been permitted to pass
