Those northern republicans who think the
negro vote in the south Is suppressed should
witness an election in this county. They
would change their minds. They would find
that the negro is always at the ballot box
when there is anything to be made by be
ing there, and that when he isn't there 1t is
because there isn't any money to be OBJ
tanned for his vote. Having no political
principles. knowing nothing Of the issues
involved and caring nothing for them, his
vote, as a general thing, is obtained by the
highest bidder. He not only presents race
problem for the south 10 solve, but also
financial problem In connection with cleo
tions.
At the recent election in this county it is
said that $4,000 or $4,000 was spent in
bribing voters How much was spent in
the city election yesterday 1t is impossible
TO approximately estimate The amount,
however, was large At neither election
was TIE bribery confined wholly TO the col
ored voters There we're a few white men,
if reports are to be believed, who were so
shameless rs to accept money for their
votes. Nearly all Of those, however, WHO
sold their votes were colored
1t may he said that both sides bride vot-
ers This may be true, but it does not fol-
low that both sides engage in the corrupt
ing business willingly O1e side may be
forced TO do so in self-defeuse. What chance
for success has a capable man who adheres
TO honest election methods against an in
capable one, who uses money freely
where nearly half the votes ara purcbas
ablet Is there not in this city at this time
condition Of affairs that is alarming'
What hope is there for filling the Offices
with capable and efficieut men without
buying their election? Good men, who ex-
pect to serve the public faithfully, will not
continue TO spend more to get elected than
the Offices they seek yield, The consequence
will be that the people will be at the mercy
of officials, who will not only miscarriage
pubic affairs but will so use their Offices as
to retard, if not check, the prosperity of the
city. Do the people intend to remain in
different TO the danger which threatens
them!

Herrison,s Cabinet Troublss.

The reports from indianapolis leave the
impression that Gen. Harrison is finding the
task of forming a cabinet difficult one. 1t
may be, however, that the reports are not
correct, and that he has already entirely ac-
complshed the task. Senator Blair has an
nounced that Gen. Harrison and he are the
only persons who know the names of those
who will be in the next cabinet. If this an
nouncement is correct, the p Jlticans who
are going to Indiana from all parts of the
country are wasting their time. The
chances are. however, that the members of
the cabinet have not yet b9en decided upon.
1t is quite certain Mr.. Blaine's friends do
not think they have. The anxiety which
he is showing respecting his chances for the
Secretaryship of State is in remark bic con
trast with his rather overbearing and die
tatorial conduct during the campaign.
Then he appeared to oversaadow Gen. har-
rison completely. He was look I'd upon as
the dictator of the party's policy, and he
said aud did about what he pleased, so far as
the political canvass was concerned. Now he
appears in the position of an applicant for
favor, and there is a great deal of doubt

granted.
There are strong men of his party in his
own state who are hostile t. his appoint
ment TO a cabinet position, because it is be
lieved that his appointment would seriously
damage Congressman Reeds chances for
the spsakership. 1t is asserted that if an
eastern man is given the leading cabinet
position, the west will demand a western
man for speaker.
Gen. Harrison will not find it possible to
satisfy every body. II he invites Mr.. Blaine
into his cabinet he will make enemies of
many of those who are trying to keep him
out, and If he does not invite him, Mr.
Blaine, and mis- friends, will be more or less
hostile to his administration. Two factions
in New York are demanding rep; esenta-
tion in the cabinet, and host Of politicians
are demanding cabinet recognition for the
south. The demands from these two sour
ces, together with the demand that Blaine
shall have what he wants, will keep Gen
Harrison on the anxious seat until he finally
makes up his mind about his cabinet.

Tho censure of Mackenzie.

1t begins to look as if it would be a long
time before the matters connected with the
late Emperor FredericS's treatment for can
Ger AID tue publication Of his diary would
be settled. The publication of the diary
aDgered Bismarck because it questioned his
right to all tue glory for the formation of
the German empire, and the publication Of
Sir Morrell Mackeuzie's book, giving the
details Of his treatment of the disease from
which Frederick died, angered both tho
German and English doctors.
In our dispatches it was stated the other
day that tie Royal College Of Surgeons had
adopted resolution severely censuring SIR
Morell for publishing his book. THIS was a
great blow to him, because he had counted
on mis- own college-the college with which
he is connected-stauding by him.
1t seems that at his request both the En-
press Frederick and Queen Victoria en-
deavored to induce the college not to adopt
the resolution OF censure For some reason
or other their request was not Needed. The
resolution was passed by an almost Unani-
nous vote.
There docs not appear to be any good
reason why the college should have passed
it. There was certainly no urgent necessity
for doing so. II is alleged that the surgeons
of the college were controlled wholly by
professional jealousy. If tins DO true, there
are great many distinguished doctors in
England who have very small souls

Corrupt.ng Voters.

Gov. Hovey. Of Indiana, in his Inaugural
address. a synopsis Of which was published
in our dispatches yc-'c-day, condemned in
the strongest lang1sge the brlbing of vot-
ers. He admitted that there were the
strongest reasons f.r believing that the
ballot was polluted In tast state in the Nc
vember election. and said that 1.-The dema-
gogue who would buy the vote OF his poor
and needy neighbor IS more corrupt and
vile than his victim, aad will only wait his
chance to sell the liberties Of Ills country
for higher price. As rule, be who buys
a vote will sell his own"
If the reports OF The corrupt use of
money in Indiana elections is true and
there Is no reason to doubt that they are,
the time has already arrived in that state
wnen any man VINO has a sufficient amount
u money can buy his election to any
office within the gift Of the people of that,
commonwealth. Tho uumbo' OF pur-
chasabls voters has increased so greatly,
ana is now 50 Ia e that no man can hope
for an election Who cannot command a
large amount Of money with which to bride
voters.
On New Yeas day Gen. Harrison, in
brief address spoke Of the necessity for
purifying the ballot, and Gov. Hovey has
spoken Of the same necessity; but what
has either Of them done toward securing the
punishment Of those who are believed to
have been chiefly instrumental in corrupt
ing the voters OF Indiana in the November
eectiouq Has either Of them used his infu-
ence to have Col. Dudley, the man who is
charged with having advised that the float
ing vote be divided into blocks of Eve and
provided the money necessary to purchase
that vote. indicted On the contrary, the
chief republican newspaper Of Indiana has
done all it could TO shield Col. Dudley, and
as far as any one knows no republican OF
that state, Gen. Harrison and Gov. Hovey
not executed, mas advised that the charges
against Col Dudley be pressed. Before
talking about the necessity of our purifying
the ballot would they not got credit for
being more sincere if they were to join

Better Than Rabbits Hind Foot.
From the AIbnuU Tynjes

A certain popular congressman is now, for the
second term, representing republican district
in Ohio, though he is a democrat lie was first
elected through personal popularity and divs-
ions among the republicans The idea of re-
. election was considered preposterous. and his
wife tried to dissuade him from running again.
and he used every endeavor to avoid a renomi-
nation. His wife gas at a summer resort when
she received telegram annoInc ng his renom-
nation aud acceptance. While she and some
friends were walking IT, the hotel grounds they
discovered horseshoe. A Washington gentle
man picked 1t up and handed it to the lady, say
ing: "Nou are feeling badly about your
husbands being Obliged to spend time aud
money in hopeless contest Now, this horse.
shoe may change your luck. Here's the shoe
that is for his election: and here are three nails
these are for three majority" There was q
laugh over the absurdity Of the idea; the shoe
was hung up and the incident for yotten by the
lady until il was recalled by q telegram from
her husband the next day after the election
announcing his election by three. The official
count gave the congressman only two majority,
which was doubtless owing to the fact that
while the wonderful horseshoe was being
handed around for inspection one of the nails
fpl put
