believes that the railroad presidents and

have been fairly bought. II is certainly
that any GOOD news about silver legislation

SHOULD NOT DISTRIBUTE.
Ballot Reform with Reform Lett
Out.

1t is not likely that rhe Senate will
pass the Ballot Reform bill introduced
by Mr.. Werts, without amending
that paragraph which provides for the
distribution of the official ballots. To
pass the bill in its present shape would
be to provide for ballot reform, with
the reform left out. The distribution
of official ballots would simply provide
one of the most systematic forms of
bribery ever devised. The brioers
could take these ballots secured il ad-
vance, could mark them ia the way in
which they wished to have them vote d
could bribe voters 10 deposit them as
marked, and the latter could bring
back the official ballots obtained in
tie polling place as proof that they
had voted the marked ballots.
This is not n matter of copjac ute,
but Of actual experience. Precisely that
course has been followed wherever the
Australian system has been tried with.
out the requirement that no ballots
should be received at the polls except
those distributed inside the polling
places.

Five Years Ministry.

Sunday, at the First Baptist
church, Mr.. Cass began his 9Th year as
pastor. The church was beautifully
decorated with potted plants and cut
flowers, the set pieces being cross, a
star and basket, while over the pastors
head were suspended the figures,
'1sS5-1s00," these being the years
covered by the present pastorate.
The text was Hitherto hath the
Lord helped u.s." During the five
years, 35T have united with the church,
Of which $50 were by baptism. The
past year 1877 have united, Of which
108 were by baptism. Large growth
has been made in all the Sunday
schools connected with the church.
The music by the choir was beautiful
and elegantly rendered. At the close
Of the service, five young women were
baptised.
In the evening, occurred the chapel
day exercises. The house was full to
overfiowing with children OF the Sun
day schools and friends. Recitations
and readings by the scholars, with
singing, made up the service. A col
lection of over 80 was taken for home
mission work.
The flowers deserve especial mem
tlon, and much credit is due Mrs.
Pierce and her assistants for the beau
tiful display. A beautiful red lily, with
six blossoms, was loaned by Mrs. w.
II. Hainesworth, Atlantic street. In
fact, the First Baptist Church never
lacks for beautiful flowers all the year
through.

of the law. Matters not properly pre-

the privileged character Of privacy,

TOO MANY LAWS.
Lawyers Find Trouble by Special
ACl.


/ Act.
A local lawyer in speaking of the
statutes of the State. said tbe other
day that it was almost i'll possible to
keep pace with the laws. Lawyers
found so many laws, and SO many that
differ very widely, that they can hard
ly decide what course to pursue when
a case is presented. This legal gentle
man says that the trouble lies in spec
ial legislation There are many laws
enacted for specific cases in some parts
of the State, and being in tn nature
OF general legislation, causes very much
trouble.
A prominent business man in speak,.
ing of the matter, said that it was his
emphatic opinion that the State would
be very much better off If the Legisla-
ture did not meet but once in three
years. There would be less legislation.
and the people will be less afflicted -.
