Having gerrymandered the State with
view to making the majority of the congress
sional delegation Democratic, the Ohio Dem
ocrats now have Matched scheme to gobble
up majority Of the Presidential electors by
providing for their election by districts in
stead of at large as at present. 1t is claimed
that the legislature has power to make this
change, inasmuch as the Constitution of the
United States provides that each State shall
appoint electors in such manner as the Iegis-
lature thereof may direct. 1t is well known
that in some Of the States, before the war,
electors were chosen by the legisla-
lures, and if that was constitutional
probably their election by districts
would be. So very likely there is nothing in
the constitution to prevent the Democrats
from carrying out their scheme. But the
change would be SO barefaced IN attempt to
steal Presidential electors that public senti-
ment both in Ohio and elsewhere would cry
out against it, with the effect that in the long
run the Democracy would reap much more
injury than benefit from it. The probability
is therefore that when the cooler heads
among the Ohio Democrats think this
scheme over they will come to the conclusion
that the stealing of the electors of four or five
States in the South by suppressing the col
ored vote Is about as hig a load of fraud as
the party can safely undertake to carry.

Will probably be accommodated in somewhat

have so far failed. Notwithing his many
faults Bismarck is by all odds the ablest

may well be regarded by the German people
with feelings akin to dismay. especially as

The working men of New York City held
meeting in Cooper Institute the other night
at which they very strongly endorsed the
Saxton ballot bill, official ballot and all. This
will be sad news to Gov Hill, who has coy
cred reams of paper to show that an official
ballot would work harm to working
men, he taking the ground in effect
that workingmen were not possessed of
sufficient intelligence to mark the ballot cor
rectly alone and unassisted In the ballot
room. AS the working men feel perfect
confidence that his fears are groundless,
there seems to be no reason for him to longer
fight against the official ballot on their ac-
count. But Hill has other reasons for oppos-
ing the official ballot. which will not be
affected by the workingmen's resolutions.
Perhaps if the heelers. and intimidators, and
bribers should hold convention and declare
in favor of the official ballot these reasons
might be overcome.

The death Of ex-Congressman Taulbee
makes his assailant, Klncaid, who inflicted
the mortal wound, a murderer. not in the
first degree, perhaps, for the circumstances
under which the shot was fired make it pos
sible that there was not that deliberate in
tenton to kill necessary to constitute MUIR
der in its highest degree. But his crime is
one which, in the District of Columbia, is
punished with long term of Imprisonment.
That he will escape conviction is not proba-
BILE, though had the crime been committed in
Kert~ser1ods would have happened to him
than trial followed by acquittal or disa-
greement. But Washington is not Kentucky,
and the public sentiment which justifes
man in avenging an insult in his own way,
even If that way involves the taking of hu-
man life, does not exist at the capital.

We learn that Thomasville Baptist
church has extended a call to Rev. G.
W. Harmon, of Hillsboro, to become
it's pastor. 1t is not yet ascertained
whether Mr.. Harmon will accept.
Mr.. o. B. Van Wick, who failed at
Salisbury on the Goth inst, and of
which mention was made in the
Ledger last week, made the assign
ment to Lee S. Overman, of Sails
bury. The liabilities of the firm are
$9, 900 with estimated assets at 81 2
900. The reason assigned for the
failue is inability to collect moneys
due, and the fact that some north
ern creditors were threatening to
sue.
Governor Fowle declines to inter
fere further in the case of Elijah
Moore, the negro who is to be hang
ed at Greensboro on the 7th of Feb
ruary, and he will pay the penalty of
his brutal murder that day. The ex-
ecution will be private. The Cover
nor considered Moore'e case very
fully, and found no mitigating cir
cumstances. In fact, he really assas-
sinated the negro woman, his victim,
who had simply stepped outside of
the house a few minutes, leaving a
little child there. 1t is case where
circumstantial evidence convicts.
A negro horse thief named Emanu-
ell Archey was arrested the first OF
last week near Mr.. D III. Hinkle's
residence, few miles north of town.
The negro went to Mr.. Hinkle's
house about nightfall, and owing to
the suspicious account that he gave
of himself and the horse, was given
ahelter during the night with view
of OBTAINING him for a possible .pur.
suer. Early the next morning infor-
nation was received that he had sto
len the horse in Rowan county and
that an officer was on his track. A
young man attempted to arrest
Archey but the latter broke loose
and took to the woods. In a short
time number of men collected anG
freed him. The officer arrived dur
ing the day and the next morning re
turned to Rowan with the prisoner
and horse.

and, q recess was given for dinner.
When, court re-assembled it took the

When the verdict was rendered all
eyes were turned to the face Of Mrs.
Morris. She sat calm and unmoved,
as if expecting Just that decision.
The verdict gave entire satisfac-
ton. Public sympathy was entirely
with Mrs. Morris, and there were
very few, il any, in Rockingham
county who believed her guilty.
