PROPOSED ELECTION BILL.

One of the most infamous meas
ures yet proposed in the House IS the
Federal Election Bill. Congressman
Crisp of Georgia, gives the follows
ing analysis Of the bill:
"rhe bill requires the appoints
ment Of a chief supervisor of elec,
tion in every judicial district of the
United States, and, on the applica>
ton Of 100 voters in any congress-
ional district, it is the duty of each
chief supervisor to take charge Of,
manage and practically control the
election. He is authorized to APP
point three supervisors for each vo,
ting precinct IN the district, who, if
there be q registration law, may be
employed six days at IS per day
each, 1t is the duty Of the United
States Marshal, on the application Of
the Chief Supervisor, to appoint as
many deputy United States marshals
as the chief supervisor may want,
who may be employed as much as
eight days and paid "a per day each.
These are the provisions Of the rural
districts. In large cities such Off.
GERS may be employed a longer time,
The effect Of this is to permit the
chief supervisor to appoint thousands
of Federal officials in each congress-
ional district to be paid out ol the
Federal treasury AS to supervisors,
not moro than two shall be of the
same political party, AS to deputy
United States marshals they may be
appointed from the same political
partN
"Ihe bill authorizes the president
to use the army and the navy to
preserve the peace at the polls or to
aid the enforcement Of the law.
Under this provision the president
may pflor TO any election, order
troops TO any State in the Union for
The osteDsible purpose to aid in the
enforcement Of tho law, and they
may be used, as they have in the
past been used, TO influence and eou.
troll the elections.

obtaiOing lurics IN the Federal court.

court, and those two persons sklS
select the names of citizens qualified
to serve as jurors in the Federal
courts. That statute was passed p
create confidence i'll the administers
tion of justice in such courts. Tbs
bill repeals that statute and alloys
jurors to be selected by the c0uSt
alone. This provision is evidently
intended and designed to Obtain
partisan jurors in the Federal coo y
for the trial of persons who may le
charged with violation of election
laws, If the bill becomes laS,
Federal officials will supervise and
scrutinize all registration of votes,
the casting Of the votes, the coqnl,
ing of ballots, the making Of 4
turns and the certlficatlon Of the re-
suit. True the State officers are per-
mitted, under such a supervision, 70
discharge their duties, but wherever
there is conflict the return Of tie
Federal officers prevails. e
"In each State there is to be a RS
turning board composed of three
citizens, to be appointed by tie
Judge of the United States circuit
court. This returning board receives
the returns from the precincts inthe
counties, and may hear eviden e
outside of the returns and certify
under their hands and seals who are
elected to congress. Two membttsss
of the board constitute a quorum,
and not more than two shall be of the
same political party. The lndivldu-
al holding their certificate is to be by
the clerk of the House of represen>
tatives placed upon tie roll of men,
bers elected and thus authorized to
participate in the organization of tAe
next House.
"The bill provides minutely for
the manner Of registering the voter,
of receiving the vote, of counting
the ballots and of certifying the e.

For Congress, First District,
w. IL. Cate.

To>day'S paper contains synopsis
of the election bill that the republi-
cans propose to pass in order to
control the elections and thus retain
control of the nation through their
manipulation of the votes polled.
Just two months in advance the
RECORD will ask all good citizens: do
you want such a state of affairs in
Arkansas ? Do you want to give the
party that favors this law shadow
of encouragement in Arkansas ?
If not vote against the Fizer>Clay-
ton ticket. Would you countenance
the man politically who would put
oar November elections under the
supervision of ignorant'& negroes
IF not vote the democratic ticket,
straight. Do you want to see fair
elections and every vote counted as
cast? If so vote against the COM
binatlon called the Union Labor
ticket. Don't you want to keep the
control of state affairs out of the
hands of the old Clayton dynasty,
who run rough shod over the peo~
pie of the state when you, your
fathers and best friends were dis,
franchlsed, and an election was a
farce on account of a similar law to
the one proposed? ? Do you believe
in free, white mans country ruled
by white men? Do you? Yes.
Well, vote to down any and all op>
position to democracy and show just
where you stand. There is no neu-
trail ground. Come right out from
under the Union Labor cloak and be
a republican Ora democrat. You
are for or against the proposed law.
How do you stand? ?

Sharp County Primary.

The primary election in which the
democratic party Of Sharp county
will choose candidates for the sewers
al county offices, to be elected on the
lst day of September, takes place
July 26th. AS it has repeatedly
come to our ears that there are a few
members of other political parties
complaining of being excluded in
the ofhcial call already published, we
deem it proper to call the attention
Of such persons to the fact that this
primary expression Of the electors is
entirely in the hands of the demo-
Gratis Of the different townships, and
no member Of an opposing party has
any right to participate IN the work
of making these choices, no more
than a member of the Methodist
church would have a voice in decid-
ing question which might be sprung
before Baptist congregation. AS
there is no statute law governing
primary elections, it is no violation
Of law to preclude persons belongs
ing to other parties from voting in
them. No gentleman will try to put
himself where he has no business, es
peoially where he takes pride in say =
ing he does not belong. As the
RECORD has before stated, any man
who has ever been a democrat and
now claims preference for that party,
and will pledge himself to support
the nominees of the democracy,
should be allowed vote IN the pri>
mary. And If such a person will
not so pledge himself he should
then wait till September and exer>
else his glorious right Of franchise
as he chooses, but certainly for the
best interests of the government
that vouchsafes to him this priceless
privilege.

 ! Another entertainment provided in the colonial exhibition is a serpent charming seance. The charners arc the Alssacuan3 of Algeria, who go through series of acts and incanta- tions mostly in the style of the witches in Macbeth, ," before beginning op. erations., They first make a pandc- monic noise On Q k:nd Cf big duEl, which goes on crescendo until the deity has heard their muttered pray CTS and has been pcop-tiated by tho horrible rolling Of their ocular aD- paratus. Suddenly the noiso ceascs. amid silence ono of the chief mea Of the tribe brings 8 ca.dron on tho stage, and. with 8 grand. sweeping gesture, throws 0 powder into it. frOu which rises light, white smoke. Then the chief is held over tho caldron and sniffs its contents until he is partially intoxicated by the gases, after which he throws himself like 9 wildcat on c nice bed of ground glass and pricaly cactus leaves, which he eats, O. pre- tends to do SO with avidity. Ills friends accompany his motions with the tumultuous music of the "tara- bouk.' or aforesaid big drum, and he finally goes to seat on tho stage full of holy serenity and thoroughly competent to accomplish any thing with the snakes and ser pents who, owing to all these pre- Iiminary antics, are an unconscion- ably long time coming on the scene When tho chief sits down one of his assistants is held over the ca!dron and goes through all tho contortions and convOlutions over again, after which he beseaches the ''boss' charmer to give him the case containing the ser- pents. When the request is complied with the deputy charmer receives the box with joy, opens it, and takes out 9 few coilj of vipers, which he coolly puts around his neck. The creatures peck away at the mans flesh, but he enjoys thei" bites without fear. for he has probably rendered the ophidians ihnocuous. When tho vipers have been put back in their box another Aissaouan sorcerer rises and per forms the ''needIo trick" which con- sists in priciing himself with long, thick needle all over the body. He never bleeds, for he has p eviously rendered. his muscles biooG.e5s by compression. The same performer also pretends to gouge his eye out and to bore through his brains. The spectacle is horrible, and is equa.ed in disgusting details by the charmer, who allows a scorpion to creep all over his face, aDi then swallows it. The ''Fakcers" of India could, no doubt, give many points to theso African sorcerers, but, such as they are, they draw" and the Algerian cafe-concert ia which they perform is crowded every night, -Londor Te.1-
