There is a movement in Maine to change
the time Of holding state elections from
| September to November In presidential
years the Maine people think they nave too
many elections. They have their election
for congressman and state officers in Sep
tember, and their election for President in
| November. Two important elections COM
! ing so near together interrupt business to
too great an extent and have demoralizing
effect.
The governor, however, opposes the pro-
posed change In his message, sent to the
legislature the other day, be proposed that
all the states should agree 70 elect congress
men on the second Tuesday in October. He
says that if Maine were to put Off her con-
gressional elections until November tho
people would be deprived OF the privilege of
hearing discussions Of many public ques-
tions, because the weather IN October Is too
cold for outdoor meetings, and there are
few halls in the state large enough to &C
commodate political gatherings.
1t is quite safe to say that the other states
will not agree to the Maine governors
proposition. They have elections about as
often now as they want them. Several
states within the last three or four years
have changed the time for holding con-
gressional elections from October to Novem-
ber
The Maine governor seems to forget that
the people of New Hampshire, Vermont
and Northern New YORK make no complaint
against holding congressional or other cleo
tions in November, and their climate differs
very little from that of the greater part of
Maine. Besides, the people of Maine
vote for President ia November and
that state polls about as large a vote
in November as in September. The Maine
governors reasons against the proposed
change do not appear to be good ones, and
it would not be surprising if the legislature
should take no notice of his suggestion rela-
tive to all the states voting for congressman
in October.
The truth is that elections occur too often
in nearly all the states In this state, for
instance, there have been elections of one
kind and another ever since the state cleo
ton in October. 1t requires considerable
time to register and to vote, and unless
there are exciting issues good many voters
don't bother themselves about elections
Any movement in favor of fewer elections
in almost any state would meet with a great
deal IF encouragement.

els Of this generation. Miss Russel's sto-
ries have never yet failed to suit the popu-
lar taste for wholesome fiction repete with
sensation and incident Her long list of
works testifies to the fecundity of her imag
nation; the excellence Of her stories to her
splendid powers as a novelist; and the re-
gard in which she is held by her readers to
the strength of the spell which she has cast
over their minds. A new novel by Miss
Russell is looked forward TO as an intellect
ual treat by thousands who have read her
previous works, and are wiShful TO make

CIRoUMsTANrIAL EVIDENCE.
Two Stories of Reported Lynchings-
Negroes Turn Up Alive.
From the EIbert0n (Gd.) StdT

from me iLtOeTtOH NGi.l our.
To show The wrong and injustice of too
harshly accusing body of men of the
offense of lvnchipg, we have only to refer
to a case that occurred in our own county Of
Ebert during the presidential election of
1876. a negro man named Henry Heard,
who afterwards figured very conspicuously
in Georgia politics, was the leader
of the Republican party in Ebert
county, ard rendered himself ex-
ceedingly obnoxious to the whites.
After the polls had clo5ed, and this
negro started home, he was overtaken by a
large body Of white democrats and carried
to Bakers ferry, with the declared inten-
ton of drowning him in the same hole at
Hilyer'S Bluff in which it was reported that
the Wilkes county Regulators cast Tim
Smith and John Coleman. The last news
heard from Heard was that his captors had
started with him up the river, with the
avowed intention of casting him into that
stream. These tidings were brought by a
responsible white man, who had joined
the mob, but his heart grew faint
and he turned back to prevent Sec
ing the negro drowned For
more than five years the people of Ebert
county accented it as a settled fact that
Henry Heard had been lynche1, not even
lis own relations hearing word from him.
At the expiration of this time, to the sur
prise of every one, Heard turned up alive
and well IN Athens Ga, where he was en-
gagged in editing a republican paper. 1t
afterward transpired that the party Of men
who took him in charge exacted a solemn
promise from Heard that he would leave
the county and never again place foot upon
the soil of Ebert. He was then carried
across the river in n blteau and released
without any violence having been done MS
person. He faithfully kept his promi e,
and from that day to this has never bee
seen in Ebert county.
There Is another instance of reported
lynching since the war equally as singu-
lar. An old negro man, whose name we
disremember, also became an organizer
among the blacks, and he, too, was taken in
hand and supposed to have been drowned
in tle Savannah river. Years afterward.
some gentlemen from this county bad oc-
casion to go to New York, and there found
toe old darby selling peanuts on the street
and doing well. Like Henry Heard. he
had been released with sylemn promise to
make himself scarce"
Il is highly probable that the two leaders
in the Broad river instruction met a SINH
lar release, and are now alive, and will
some day make their wlereabou S known.

Protecting Col. Dudley.

1t looks as if the Senate doesn't intend to
confirm the nomination Of Solomon Clay
pool for district attorney of Isdiana. Gen.
Harrison's home organ, the Indianapolis
NeWS, says that the office ought to remain
vacant until Gen. Harrison is inaugurated
That journal doesn't want democrat to
occupy the Office even for a few weeks, and
why? Doubtless because it doesn't want
Col. Dudley the alleged writer of the letter
advising the purchase Of Indiana voters,
prosecuted.
There is no fault to be found with Mr..
Claypool. He is lawyer in good standing,
and represents the indianapolis committee
of one hundred citizens whose object is to
prevent illegal voting. The republican Sen
ators declared they would not confirm the
nomination of Leon Bailey for district at
torney because he hal abused Gen.
Harrison during the campaign, and
the President withdrew it. No such
charge can be made against Mr.
Claypool. He is on the best of terms with
Gen. Harrison. A refusal to confirm his
nomination can be regarded in no other
light than an admission that there is so
much truth in the charges against Col.
Dudley that the republicans are afraid to
have them legally Investigated. What a
marvel of corruption and hypocrisy the
Republican party Isl On new years day
Gen. Harrison declared that he wanted
above all things a pure ballot. Why then

charges against Col. Dudley

1t is quite cheeky in Mr. Stephen b.

during the campaign that he was in de-

it is the quintessence Of cheek for Mr..

of the cabinet. He has good deal of pro-
