ue statement az fhe ReRaRllsan
as to their Appointment.

The Euery EssRiag in its issue Of
December 3rd. publ khed lengthy and
belabored artjf enti ed His Strange
Ignorance, wherei1 much stress is
laid on TIL fact that B. Burris had
said lhs the confere1 e between bim-
self an3 Willard Saul bury, Esq, took
place st the latter'a lhce two days be-
forsshe election 4 tead of four days.
We let it be fa days; whether four
day or twenty lays, it remains q fact
that 9ilapaea erpnce took place, and il
further remains fact chat the state
ment made b., Mr.. Burris stands un-
centradicted by Mr.. Salisbury or. BY
the E0ery Euening. In fact the arti-
de referred to. practically admits al
that was stated, and takes refuge In
the tlimsy and p,ierile excuse. the sum
and substance of which is that the
Democrats were determined to have
the constabIes appointed because they
pretended to believe that the wishes
and pledges of men in the Republican
party. who officially represented the
whole party, would be of less force
than the will sof some ONE man who
did not have, SO far as we know, any
connection whatever with the county
or State organization OF the party. It
is safe to assume that our Democrats
friends are impressed as to the wrong
of the appointment of special con-
constables, at cost of over sixteen
thousand dollars to the county, or else
they would not be trying to saddle the
blame on some one else, but it won't
work. The frank and ingenious state
ment Of Mr.. Salisbury, made at the
conference referred to. will be accept
ed as true, and as placing the response
bility of the whole thing just where it
belongs: and it yet remains to be seen
whether the people of this county will
submit to continuance Of Legislation
that seeks to place in the hands OF the
Executive the power to dominate cleo
tions (which the constitution Of this
State declares'shallb be free and equally
with partisan thugs and ward heelers,
and then hays them paid out OF the
public Treasury at whatever cost local
politicians may see fit to make TO
cry Force Bill, in one breath and
justify the enactment of law like this
in another, is simply 10 place those who
do it under tbssaHEof hypocricy, and
such insincsrity can only excite mis-
trust and contempt b Al Ilonezt men
Of wha4ever political cfaSa.
The election is nav over, and Che
people have opportdnits 10 view the
conduct of the campaign in the calm
that follows storm, and the feature Of
the enormous cost Of the recent election {
is simply frightful to the minds of men
who have long since realized that their
taxes become burdens. And when plain
men find that this already intolerable
burden has been supplemented with
an additional one, which has been lew
led for purposes entirely outside the
pale of any government need, and alto
yether for partisan uses, they are sure
% rebel. Therefore it may not be sur
,rising that our Democratic brethren
are in fit over this matter after hav-
ng had an opportunity of finding their
