REPREsENTATIvE COLEMAN of Louisi-
ana, the only Republican from the state,
and one who may be presumed 20 know
the condition OF affairs there and in the
South, deprecates the passage Of the Fed
eral Election bill and says that It will re
suit in untold mischief to all classes, but
particularly to the negroes Probably
his Republican colleagues know that
almost as we'll as he. II they know any
thing about the condition of affairs be-
tween the races they know is better
now than when the other Force bill
was in operation; If they know
anything Of the characters or the
histories Of the Caucasian or the negro
races, they know that the latter can
neither assume nor maintain control over
the former, even If the whole power Of the
government is misdirected and misused
for that baneful purpose. But they do not
care for the dangers which their course
threatens; they do not appreciate. the
misery and crime 1t will produce. They
are building up the Republican party,
which is certain to be a minority party in
the Northern states. The. last election
gave the Republican party only
three majority. The next election

part of her husbands portion against
Catharine McGurner, who holds the

the estate was severely cross examined
by Mr. Salisbury.
She positively swore she had never
lived over saloon at or near Thirty
third and Market street, Philadelphia,
nor at Thirty fifth and Market with a
man named Andrews. She took the name
of Andrews at the suggestion of her
friend, Mrs. Young. as a shield against
thepersecution of her husband's relatives.

She did not know any woman named
Betty Styles, or Mrs. William Burns, nor
Mrs. Catherine McAuliffe She was
never under the care Of Mrs. Jarvis
either IL the hospital or at 1888 Filbert

practiced medicine since 1877 He attended
woman named Mary Andrews at her
confinement, at No, 1888 Filbert street
on October 81. When she gave birth to
boy. There was no doubt in his mind
of the last witness being the same unless
she had twin sister.
Mr.. Salisbury offered 10 evidence a
record from the Board Of Health OF
Philadelphia, recording the birth of a
boy on October 81, 1879, of which James
and Mary Andrews, No. 1888 Filbert
street. We're the parents To this Mr.

but his testimony remained nnbroken.

SPEAKINe against the Federal Election
bill, Representative Mills said that "hls
Republican friends reminded him Of a
Prohibitionist in Texas, who drank him
self, but wanted the law enforced against
the Irish and the damned niger" The
Jaw is not intended to apply to fourteen
Northern states where 3, $50, 300 Republi-
cans elect 1875 Representatives and
3.074, 165 Democrats elect AZ Representa-
tiyes; it is not intended to apply to the
Democratic states Of New York and
Connecticut, which have been constantly
misrepresanted by two Republican Sena-
tors for twenty years.

THE Republican machine managers In
Georgetown started an investigation, not
for the benefit of the people, but to
prove that upright and honorable men,
who are Democrats, had been robbing the
county treasury. They not only failed
in that, but they investigated till they
found that the Republican officials had
spent more money and had less to show
for 1t, and actually uncovered some
expenditures Of one of their own number,
which needed explanation. The organ Of
this curious sort Of politics, the George
town Republican regrets, that any CON
ISOLATION" can be drawn from a failure to
convict honest and respectable men for
partisan purposes. The Georgetown
Journal comments on the deprecating
wall thus:
Yes we did get great consolation from
the fact that your own figures convicted
you of what we had charged all the time
and that is that you willfully and inten-
tionally misrepresent and try to make
the people believe that certain facts
exist when the contrary is the case. We
did get consolation out Of the fact.
Now it seems, that If there is nothing
broader and higher in Republicanism
than these poor attempts of set Of
men not over scrupulous, not Of admi-
rable character, or fine regulations them.
selves, to cry ''stop thief" at their
betters, the sooner we get rid of Repub-
licanlsm or the sooner respectable men
break away from the party machine the
better for the commonwealth and for the
respectable Republicans.

In view of all these facts. as stated above,

prominent object to be fought for in this cam

why the Democrats should lay their com
plants, If they have any. before the

the court Of last resort, it is the fairest,
best and only court recognized by the

will not trust his cause to the people,
either has no cause, or he is not honest.
he puts himself in the position Of dis

yesterday adopted vigorous resolu-
tions against the appointment of

ting in an editorial that "The term
drummer has become synonymous
with that of profgate and masher.
They 10 to a city, and when night
relieves them of their duty their
time is spent in looking up weak and
foolish girls, who are pleased by
their lies, flattered by their atten-
tions, and VINO become an easy
prey"
The council characterizes his ap-
pointment as postmaster as direct
to 100000 travelling men, and Presi-
dent Harrison and Post Master
General Wanamaker are to be re.
quested to move him.
