So firmly entrenchsd were the Demo.
crate In our State that they did not be.
leve their defeat was possible. They had
. majority of the assessors. many of
whom strove to not assess non. property
holders. They had all the collectors.
the greater number of whom strove to
make 1t difficult to pay a poll tax, even
going 80 far as to lie and even shut up
their offices In order to prevent the pay
ment OF poll tax. They had the appoint
ment or control OF all the registrars and
were thus enabled to dlsfranchlse some
hundreds OF citizens. They had ths ap.
polntment OF all the election otilcers In
many districts, and they believed their
defeat was impossible. Beside. they ap-
pointed over HOO deputy constables for
our city, thus brlbinR them. as 1t we're, to
support the Democratic candidates.
They were not required to prevent dis.
order. and their appointment was intend

The degeneracy OF the times and the
wickedness Of the Republicans. But this
Ia not all. 1t is charged that an old rebel
from one of the rural districts went to
Georgetown on Thursday with the firm
determination to have the returns from
Cedar Creek Hundred thrown out, and it
was only after he was assured that such
action would lead to UinodshGi, pistols at

OF his Secretary of the Treasury had made
arrangements to font q new gold loan OF
