IMollotof Bradford county. Ho needs
no commendation at our hands, lit
record and llfu aro matters o( public
history, and overy voter In this District
Is fitmlllnr with tho staunch "VVysox
Varmer."
The duty of our e.tuntry Is cloAr. llo
w.isour cholcu at tho last eonfcronco
anil let us stand to our guild now. Tho
opposition ftro at sea, and now Is tho
Koldun opportunity to wreck llicin.
Let every Democrat turn out. Work
or success. Wo plodge our word that
1000 timjorlty In Columbia will carry
tho District, and wo should glvo 2000.
Tlio'.lmo Is short, but tut us work, and
show that thu spirit of Democracy is uot
crushed In old Columbia. Every man
to his post, anil victory will bo ours.
Since kI"R to press wo learn that
Ilunnell, of Wyoming, has been substi
tuted for Dr. Strawbrldso as a candi
date for Congress. Does ho know any
thing about horso races and tho quail
tics of poison?
Louisiana's .Miseries,
Tli o troubles In Louisiana havo bo
comics ) compllcato.l as to requlro expla
nation for tlio general reader. Thoro
uro t wo Legislative bodies, each claim
ing to bo legally elected. Ono of those
Is known as tho SKcllogg Legislature
tho other ns tho Warmoth Legislature.
Kellogg is tho present U. S. Senator
from that stato ; Warmoth tho present
Qovornor. Tho Kellogg Leglslaturo has
impeached Gov. Warmoth j tho War
mouth Legislature has been served
with an Injunction from tho U. S. Cir
cuit Court ; tho clerk of tho Houso of
tho old Legislature has been Imprisoned
to keep him from calling tho roll of tho
Warmoth Legislature ; Judge El
moro holding Gov. Warmoth's certifi
cate, as Judgo of tho Eighth District
Court.has been sent to Jail, but prompt
ly.'pardoned by Warmoth; and tho
Capitol is In possession of tho U. S.
troops with Gatling guns and similar
Republican means of persuasion.
In addition McEnery, Democrat,
and Kellogg, Ropublican, bath claim
tho Governtship. Kcllogg's claim
is donied on tho ground that tho law
loaders an U. S. office-holder Ineligible
he being now U. S. Senator. Such a
conglomeration of entanglements was
never before known.
At a recent mas3 mooting hold In
New Orleans ono hundred prominent
citizens wero selected to go to Washing
ton and lay tho matter before tho Pros
dent, and Mr. McEnery claiming to be
Governor sent a messago to the Presi
dent asking him to suspend action in
tho matter until the committeo of ono
hundred bad conferred with him. Hore
is I ho President's reply :
"Washington, December 13 5Tb
Hon. John M' Enery. Kew Orleans :
Your visit with a hundred citizens will
ho unavailing sa far as tho President is
concerned. His decision has been made
and will not bo changed, and tho soon
er it Is acquiesced in the sooner good
order and peace will bo restored.
(SIgued) "Qeorgie II. Williams,
"Attornoy General."
It can bo seen from this that the Pres
ident has made his decision without
waiting to hear a fair and impartial
recital of tho facts in tho caso, and sup
ports tho negro Lieutenant Governor
Pinchbflck and his legislative followers
bocauso upon thorn hang tho hopes of
brother-in-law Casey for futuro high
positions.
As wo aro not of tlioso who expoctod
a different courso from Grant than that
which ho has pursued heretofore, wo
aro not surprised nt his action, and tho
lay for balng startled at any such ac
tion has long slnco gono by. Brother-in-law
Cosoy still reigns Supremo In
Now Orleans and yearns for tho U. S.
bonatorshlp. Of courso ho must bo do
fended whatever tho result to tho peo
plo. This wo presume Is Civil Servico
Reform and thoso of Orant's admirers
who can got any comfort from it aro
welcome to do bo. Soldlcrs.Gatlingguns,
biyonots,Ft;derai;Uourts und Executive
iuterfurenco aro all In tho category of
appliances to securo tho rights of tho
States and tho peoplo, and aro all used
lu a quarrel with which tho Federal
Government has no concern whatsoev
er. As wo have said, wo aro not surpris
ed. Wo expect no lesjsolong as Grant
has in Louisiana, or elsewhero, abroth-cr-ln-Iaw
to look after, or any other
interest to subserve. To securo porfect
neutrality on tho part of tho adminis
tration In any Stato quarrel thero must
be a total alwenco of anything which
can advanco his interests.
It is one of tho terrible results of tho
last ten years of Republicanism, that
inopoopiocan lookcalmly on thlsstruz-
glo and merely shrug their shoulders
when tho power of tho Foderal Govern
nicnt Is used to coerco tho citizens of a
Stato. Thero will bo worso to eomo
beforothis reign of Grantisover. Thoro
aro other States which may provo con
tumacious unit may requlro armed
troops of tho United States to lead tho
peoplo into tho ways of pleasantness
and peaco.
Wo commend this Louisiana affdlr to
mo intention orsuon of our Democratic
brethren whoso "stialeht out" otnm.

Hovr Election, nro Conducted.
What slim chatico Philadelphia has
for honest o?ectlons will bo somewhat
better understood by thoso who read
Judgo Flnlcttcr's opinion upon tho
way In which Prothonotary Lough
rldgo neglects his duties as tho custod
lan of tho election returns, and permits
tho election laws to bo violated with
impunity. Thero scums to bo no law
for election rascalities hi thls"61ty, and
Courts appear to bo powerless to protect
tho ballot box, except through tho ox
pcnslvo and tardy form of contest,
which, besides tho lmmonso cost and
loss of tltno It Involves, Is so hedged
about now-n days by "lung" contrlv
ances, that to cntor into a contest Is ir
tually holding an election over again,
by summoning tho wholo hundrod and
tweuty thousand voters ns witnesses.
This Is well understood by tho "Ring,"
and honco tho approved method now Is
to falsify and forgo returns, glvo tho
foreordained candldatoa cortutcate.and
forco tho candidate really elected by tho
peoplo Into all tho dxponses, loss of
time, worrlmont und uncertainty of a
contest. This very fow aro inclined to
do, and henco tho "counting out" sys
totn makes things very easy for thoso
who resort to it. Most of tho "modern
improvements" in falsifying roturns,
and in embarrassing thoso who tried to
oxposo tho nefarious work, cropped out
In this case Philadelphia Ledger.
Ono of tho results of mismanagement
In tho Post OmcoDepartracntis pointed
out by tho World. It says: It will
hardly bo bollovcd, and it is novcrtho
less truo, that it costs fl to deliver n let
ter in Now Orleaus, whllo In llaltltnoro
tho cost for delivering a lottor Is 1 cent.
Tho following tablo will provo It:

Upon what grounds this shameful

defended, wo lcavo to Postmaster Gon

Direct Vote for President.
A direct vote for President and Vice
President of tho nation is favorod by
tho Cincinnati Commercial. Thatjour
nal remarks: "Ono of tho inconven
iences of tho doctoral system is that it
is Impossible for tho voter to distinguish
botwccnthocandldatcs for tho Presiden
cy and tho Vice Presidency. For ox
amplo, thero wero thousands of voters,
who, had tho voto been direct, would
havo voted for Horaco Greeley for Pres
ident, and Henry Wilson for Vice
President ; and possibly thero wero
some Democrats who voted for Grant
who would havo preferred to voto for
Gratz Brown for Vlco-Presldont. Un
der tho electoral system thoro is no .op
tion. Tho National Convention names
tho candidates, and tho olectors who
stand for thoso candidates, chosen
by tho peoplo of a State, havo no alter
native but to cast their votes for them
when thoy meet at the Stato Capi
tols." CONGRESS
