SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
A Good Dial of Scratching Of PalIots at thu
Annual Election Prob ble.


Annual Election Probable
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 6.-At the annual
election Of the Southern society to be
held tonight, there Is likely to be good
deal of scratching Of ballots az a conse-
quence of some more or less disturbing
elements which have lately crept into
the organization. The first of these was
the discussion over the memorial resolu-
tions to Jefferson DAVIS. The ex-
ecutivs committee reported against
the resolutions, but was Overruled by
vote of the sOcIety passing them. Sew
eral members of the committee then re-
signed Feeling ran high, and the mem
beers who were against the resolutions
were accused OF trucking to Northern
sentiment. Among them was John {.
Calhoun, the soCiety's president, though
he has since proved that he favored the
action taken.
Shortly after this came the Clark RAN
dolph shooting affair, in which the ex-
ecutiye committee was accused OF shirk-
ing its duty OF proper investigation and
of causing q scandal.
Such great opposition to the regular
ticket was developed from these causes
that Mr.. Calhoun, the regular candidate
for president, withdrew. 1t was evident
that he could not be elected. Both par
ties have agreed upon Capt. Hugh R.
Garder for the head OF the ticket, but
over the rest OF the names there will be
fight. The contest centers espe-
cially around the executive commit
tee. The following have been nominated
by the opposition for the execu-
tive committee: W. W. Sharp, Kemper
Bocock, Col. A. A. Esdra, Robert w.
II. Marthmey and DR.. John Il. Gard
ner. The other party has nominated
l.. B. Zacharias. DR.. r. C. Myles, g.
II. F. Mayo, w. s. Kelley, T. r.
Young and j. L. Robertson. The yOt-
ing will be done on the Australian sys-
tenn. and there appears on the ballots
these additional names: ViCe-presi-
dents, J. Z. Abney, Hugh r. Garder,
James Swami; executive committee,
Justin r. Abney. John C. Calhoun, w.
q. Renshaw, Walter L. MrCorkle, J.

WHAT WILL THEY DO ABOUT TIP

The Waterloo of Tuesday has prac-
tically, and for time, at least, shat
tered the republican party. Its forces
have been routed, scattered, but so
powerful is the cohesion of public
plumber they will be reorganized
again before the great contest of No
vember, 1892. The tariff robbers, the
pension grabbers, the silver and bond
spectators, the hosts of monopoly
are now fighting for existence and will
make another desperate struggle two
years from now.
They are on the defensive, and the
alternative before them of victory or
humiliation. The struggling cohorts,
decimated by disaster and disheart-
ened by defeat, will be rallied in the
great states of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois and others and
again will confront the Democracy
packed by tne people.
Bat in the meantime, while the
Republicans will retain complete con-
troll of both branches of congress till
March 4 next, what are they going to
do about the overwhelming defeat
they have suffered at the hands of the
people? Will an attentive ear be
turned to the thunders of the popular
voice just uttered at the polls, or will
policy of desperation and revenge be
adopted?
Will the Republicans of the senate
go ahead and pass the force bill not
withstanding the adverse judgment of
the people as recorded on Tuesday
last? Will Gear Reed, unmindful of
the popular verdict, continue his out
RACES in the house in defiance of the
people? Will his party in both houses,
by popular reputation, go |
to still further excuses in the assump-
ton and abuse OF power, trampling on
the rights of the people? These are
questions that will be soon settled.
There is this much about it: Ii they
are disposed to treat with contempt
the voice of the masses as uttered at
the ballot box the people can give
them another dose and completely
hurl them from power, which they
have used for partisan ends, and parti-
san ends alone.

THAT LOTTERY LAW.

The New York Herald thus lets
some light through the lottery law
when it is construed in a ridiculous
and foolish way, a way certainly that
never was contemplated by congress.
1t says:
"There is just little danger that
we are being governed too much. We
read that an Indiana postmaster has
thrown out of the mails the entire
edition of the Fort Wayne Daily Jour
nal because the paper published an ac-
count of a Catholic church fair which
contained list of members who had
drawn prices. Another journal was
also stopped because it contained
short item regarding the rafting of a
sofa pillow for the benefit of a poor
family.
President Harrison is a sensible
man and should make an example of
this postmaster. His Interpretation
of the law is that any postmaster may
constitute himself censor over the
newspapers that come to his care, ex-
anime them as vigorously as Rus
sian censor and, if he pleases, throw
them out of the mails.
No law was ever passed by Congress
giving such power. We approved of
the presidents course against lot
teries and of legal action toward the
suppression OF the Louisiana lottery.
But it is one thing to suppress a lot
terry and another to interfere with the
liberties of the citizen. To throw out
of the mails the entire edition of a
newspaper because it contained an
item regarding the 1aflle of a sofa
pillow for the benefit of poor family
is an outrage. 1t only shows to what
extent this beautiful paternal govern
ment is going-that it is really gov
eminent by going to the devil"

hall, Clapton, and were viewed by mul,
Iitudes. Then followed the public fu,

much criticism.
Some $1,000 people were crowded into
| the Olympia, where the indoor services
were held, and good order prevailed; but
the route to the grave in Abney Park
cemetery was through the most densely
populated part of London, and there was
much disorder. All the roads entering
London ran excursion trains, and there
were in addition several hundred Saliva
tionists from the continent; the flags of
many nations and various societies were
displayed in the procession, the Ameri-
can "Stars and Stripes" being most con-
spicuous; while very great number of
bands, of every possible kind, played
every possible sort of airs, the different
sections singing, or rather shouting, all
sorts of songs, from the sublime to the
ridiculous.
The whimsical appearance of some of
the Salvationists excited the ridicule of
the crowd, and the police at last found
it impossible to preserve order. In clear
ing way for the procession several per-
sons were knocked down and badly
hurt, and at the close, between the wild
enthusiasm of the Salvationists and the
disgraceful acts of the mob, the whole
affair degenerated into something very
like riot. Gen. Booth officiated at the
grave, where tolerably good order was
maintained.
Dr. John Farnham Boynton, who died
recently at Syracuse, N. Y, was at one
time noted geologist, and was the in

thirty patents, of which every one
proved success. He was also the first
to point out the fraud in the so called
Cardiff Giant" and was the reporting
physician during DR.. Tanners fast. In
various other ways he was well known

his works were satirical if not pessi-

quite noted in his day, and was educated
at the College Bourbon, Paris, where he
became teacher, but soon turned to
literature. Born in Paris in 1903 he pro-

IT is reported that the elegant CEN
sus gotten up by Mr.. Porter shows an
increase of population in the Republi-
can states of 100000, while in the
Democratic states it is only 100000.
This will cut quite figure in the new
congressional apportionment, and is a
terrible blow aimed at Democracy.
On its face this report is lie, when it
is considered that nowhere in the
union has there been such prosperity
and increase of population as in the
Democratic South. If new count is
not allowed the census for the next
ten years should be branded as the
biggest lie of the century.
