TIIE ROW AT THE MEETING OF THE RETURN JUJJOES. The scene at the meeting of tho Return .hulgoH yesterday was exceedingly disgraceful. Desperate rhiladolphia politicians have uu foitunntely acquired a reputation for doctor ing up returns which is only too well do served. Not satisfied with cheating at tho polls and manipulating the first count of votes, they sometimes resort to tho still more infamous device of distorting or falsifying what should be deemed a sacrod record of public opinion. Tho rascals of this stripo tire not all confined to tho Democratic party, for some skilful adepts cling to tho skirU of tho llepublican organization, and thfiy are ready, when occasion requires, f or achievements in political arithmetic which would even add now laurels to tho famous statistician of tho New York World. It is alleged that yestor-; day two such frauds were perpetrated, one atlecting tho result in the Thirteenth Legis lative District, and electing a liepublican in stead of a Democrat by a forged return, and tho other electing Watt, a liepublican Sena tor, instead of Diamond, a Democrat, by a false or imperfect statement of tho votes cast in the Senatorial District. Tho parties guilty of these falsifications of tho records cannot bo too severely punished. Thoir crime should bo mado a penitentiary offense. Instead of being petted and rewarded by leading partisans for thoir wickedness, thoy should be not only forever disfranchised but treated as tho lowest and most dangerous class of vil lains. Tho Democrats were naturally indig nant at tho rumors of the attempted frauds, and properly appealed to tho Court of Com mon l'lous to prevent their consummation. Judge Allison promptly issued a writ sus pending proceedings until tho wholo matter could be judicially investigated. The Deputy Sheriff who served this writ, however, acted more in the spirit of a partisan than an emissary of tho law. Ho obtained his first entrance to the room in which tho Eeturn Judges were in session uuder circumstances well calculated to inspire a doubt of tho genuine character of his writ. Tho doorkeepers allege that ho falsely claimed to bo a return judge, and, once there, the re porters allege that ho triumphantly exclaimed that ho had a writ from tho Supremo Court, which was not then in session. Tho conclu sion was hastily drawn from this misstate ment that ho had no business in the room, and ho was summarily ejected under tho be lief that ho waa an unauthorized intruder. Eeinforced by a new order from the Court and by the aid of a host of stalwart policemen, he returned to tho charge, effected a forcible entrance, and tho policemen not only arrested tho doorkeepers who had per formed what they had believed to bo their duty, but shamefully maltreated one of tho most unoffending of roporters. The whole difficulty arose from the indiscreet manner in which the first attempt to serve the writ of tho Court was made; and tho evil results of this blunder were intensified by tho super Berviceable zeal of the policemen in assault ing men who were, of all present, most inno cent of wrongdoing of any description. Subsequently tho disputed points were considered by tho Court, and its directions wero followed, but as various questions were raised which can -only be legitimately decided by tho Legisla ture, the certificates of election were given to the parties who would have received them if no appeal to a judicial tribunal had been made, and it remains for the State Senato to dispose of the claims of Watt and Diamond, with tho former as tho sitting member, and for tho Assembly to decide between Geisz, Mullen, and Forsythe, with tho former as the holder of the certificate of election. We trust that exact justice will be done at Har risburg, without reference to partisan predi lections, as the Republicans of l'hiladolphia will lose infinitely more than they will gain by endorsing official pretensions based on fraud, and a just decision should be promptly made. The wholo transaction brings into promi nence tho readiness of a certain class of des perate partisans to peril their salvation for a fleeting and despicable triumph, while it dis plays a wonderfully inefficient and rude method of enforcing tho law by a Deputy Sheriff and the policemen. It is evident that among tho many other things needed to im prove the municipal government, a superior method for the punishment of manipulators of election returns should be devised; that the necessity of having a police force free from partisan influences constantly increases; and that it would bo well if the writs of tho courts affecting election returns could be served by officers appointed by the judges, instead of partisan Sheriffs. TIIE SrANISU SITUATION. Ai-faius in Spain aro rapidly getting into a . more muddled condition than ever, and from present appearances there is a fair prospect that the revolution, line many u uropuuu revolution before it, will have its final conclu sion in anarchy and an overthrow of all gov ernment. Tho regency soems to bo utterly unuble to grapple with tho situation, and matters are going on from bad to worse, until, unless somo change for tho better takes place soon, the expulsion of Isabella will bo looked ' .upon as a misfortune of tho first magnitude. No successor to tho dethroned Queen has yet bo04 iLlfaCl), UsKJ it liUUiU LWiJf 114 ViM THE DAILY KVEN1NQ TELEGRAPH PIULAj)ELPHIA, FRIDAY, will be soon. It wan doftnttnly nnnounnoil but a few weeks ago that thn young Duke of Genoa had boen flatvl upon; but he was dropped almost as soon m ht wan Ukou up, and Serrano still hold.- his putt at the lum l of tho Stato, with dittloulti tuuunuiliititi around him on every bwta that promise to culminate in Another revolution tlutt will hoihI him and his AdhoronU Hviuvj acioss tint bonier to keep tho ex-Qutmu eouiptuiy. The cable dimpittohits tlutt eouie to us from Madrid nro filled with littlo el.to tlutit accounts of tho defeat and extermination of tho ropult licans, who, however, will not stay dofoatod or exterminated, but appear to bo getting more formidable and troiiblesomo every day. It is impossible for us to get any correct in formation as to the actual situation, for it is evident that a rigid censorship is oxorcisod, nnd only despatches favorable to the Govern ment nro permittod to pass over tho wiros. Tho contradictory nature of the rumors that reach us by Government authority, howovor, enable us to glean something of tho real condition of things, and form tho opinion that the future of Spain is anything but pro raising. The orderly manner in which the expulsion of tho Queen was concurred in by all classes raised groat expectations of tho establishment of a truly liberal Government to succeed tho despotism that had been overthrown, but tho fears that were expressed from tho first that tho Spaniards wcro unfit for liberty aro fast being realized now, and the people and thoir rulers aro alike proving their inability to take advantage of tho grand opportunity afforded them for inaugurating a new era of progress, enlightenment, and reform. MUSIC IX THE runuc SCHOOLS. As miciiit have been expected, tho appointment or a superintendent of vocal music In the public schools has given rise to a wordy war, In which everybody, whether competent or incompetent to pass Judgment on tho subject, haa something to say. The object of attack is now the new text book that has been Intro duced, and, of courso, the advocates of every sys tem, except the one adopted, pronounce sentence against it. We believe that the expediency of having a musical instructor who will thoroughly ground the pupils in the principles of music is generally admitted, and we have never heard any doubt expressed as to the perfect fitness of Mr. Jean Louis for the position. If ho Is tho roughly competent, the selection and arrangement of the text books might, with the utmost propriety, be left to his judgment, unless some very glaring defects cau be shown to exist. Mr. Louis desires to introduce a new system of musical instruction, which we believe to be at once simple, easy and thorough. The littlo toxt-book introduced by hlra Is adapted to this system, and a candid examination of its merits will certainly convince any disinterested person of its value. The only real objections that have been urged against It are the triviality of some of the little songs, the father obscure fcng. lish of some of the translations from tho German, and the appearunce of advertisements on the cover. These last should be removed, to obviate any jealousy or ill-feeling, and it would perhaps be as well for the superintendent to get some competent person to reform the few grammatical irregularities that exist. It should be remembered, however, that these sentences and verses are only Intended as ex ercises, and although "Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth," "Sister, Come and Sing with Me," "Cheer fully I go, running to and fro," and others of like character, arc absurd enough when standing alone, they are infinitely better as exercises than the "do, re, mi, fa, sol," etc., which are so tiresome to children commencing the study of musio. Some of the little verses selected by Mr. Louis are very poor poetry, but we do not Judge a matter of this kind by a standard of poetical criti cism. If they illustrate the exercises, that is all that is required. This matter is deserving of candid and fair-minded criticism, and not captious fault finding. If Mr. Louis is lit for the position of superintendent of vocal music, he is entitled to the cordial support of all who are Interested in the matter of introducing good musical instruction into the public schools; and if he Is not fit for It, he should be removed and a better man put in the position. No instructor, however, can succeed if he is constantly interfered with, and it is absolutely necessary that he should be allowed a large discretion, if any good results aro expected from his instructions. Tho system of Mr. Louis is, we sincerely believe, a thoroughly good one, and it is at least entitled to a fair trial before it is condemned. SPECIAL.
