I'.vukk the burnt child, that is

cratic press U commencing to agi
tate the question of free trade, and
several leading journals insist that it
is the only issue on which that party

more Rritish gold, than a desire for
the prosperity of the American
people at the Wtom of the niove-jiient.
While the Northern Democratic
press has not a word to say regard
ing the frauds perpetrated in the
South at the late flections, it is re
freshing to find a number of the
ablet Southern journals speaking
out boldly in condemnation of them.
In the case of Congressman Lynch,
of Mississippi, there is no attempt
on the part of these journals to con
ceal their disgust at the shameless
attempt to scat Chalmers, of Fort
Pillow notoriety, by causelessly
throwing out thousand of Repub
lican votes cast for Mr. Lynch.
Well, the electoral colleges of the
several States have cast their votes.
There wasn't a protest in any of
thein. Garfield and Arthur are
duly elected President and Vice
President, and the feeble, knavish
cry of fraud raised immediately
after the November elections is final
ly disposed of. All that remains to
be done now is for the electoral vote
to be opened in the presence of
Congress and the result to be declar
ed. James A. Garfield, the eigh
teenth President of the United
States, will be inaugurated on the
4th day of March next.
Sittose some of the leading
Democratic journals now so much
occupied with fixing up a Cabinet
for Garfield and reforming the civil
service, should turn the blaic of
their tremendous intellects upon
the subject of Congressional repre
sentation, and attempt to enlighten
the public on a point that will prob
ably be soon mooted : How the
South is to maintain a reprcsenta
tion based upon a vote, one-half of
which is systematically and illegally
suppressed. The census tables wil
soon appear, and the ratio for
new apportionment be fixed, and
some few fools may insist that it is
not quite fair to the people of the
North that the power of their votes
.shall be overcome by the suppres
sion of one-half the votes of the
South, and attaining result by
stuffing the ballot-boxes or falsify

Governor Hoyt is to be the next
U. S. Senator to succeed W. A. Wal
lace. Just how Mr. Herr knows
this to be so, we are not informed.
The truth is, it is as yet. all gues3
work as to who the next Senator
will le. Mr. Grow has been mak
ing an active canvass for the last
two years, and has probably one
third of the members of the Legis
lature pledged to, or instructed ibr
him, end thus in present strength
leads any other candidate. The
fact of his making a personal can
vass throughout the St.tte, is by
many considered undignified, and
the further fact that in 1S72 he re
fused to supjiort the Republican
ticket tells largely against him with
the stalwart element of the party,
and he w ill undoubtedly be beaten
if all the elements of opposition to
him can be united on a single can
didate. Whether this union can be
brought about, will hardly be a;
certained until the Legislature as
sembles, and members have an op
portunity to jersonally compare
views and discuss and ascertain the
strength and popularity of the dif
ferent aspirants.
Meanwhile the friends of Gov.
Hoyt, Hon. John Cessna, Lieut.
Gov. Stone, Gen. Moorhead, Harry
Oliver and other prominent candi
dates will continue to push the
claims of their favorites, and all as
sertions that this or that man is to
be the Republican candidate is mere
idle speculation.
The Democracy declared Dead by an
Old Friend.
From the Chicago Timtt (lad Dem )
What is the future of the Demo
cratic party? It has no future. It
is as dead as a last year's bird's
nest. What is more, it has been
dead for the last sixteen years. It
died in 1804, when it incorporated
in its platform a plank that the war
for the Union was a laiiure, ana it
has been mistaking, ever since, a
kind of galvanism for vitality. Since
that H'riod we have been earning
arouiid a corpse, dressed in all the
robes of royalty andM)wer,itis true,
but nevertheless a corpse. We all
loved the old party so much for the
grandeur of its past history that we
have been unwilling to concede that
it wag dead, But there are too
many evidences of it now to dis
guise the fact any longer. When
greenbac k ism and quasi-rcpudiation
of the public debt appeared on its
surface, they were signs that decom
position had set, and the result of
the last election has proven mat it

When it organizea for a campaign,
it drives all the independent and
doubtful Republicans back into the
Republican ranks. It has no well-
defined principles, an an organiza

Democrat : but who would dare to
assert that hard money is a cardi
nal principle of the Democratic
party, in the lignt of its present
record ? Who would dare to assert
that it is opposed to monopolies, and
in favor of a tariff which shall be
stripped of all monstrosities and fa
voritism, when S3 recently the Pres
idential candidate on the ticket has
proclaimed that the tariff is only a.!

It appears that the Democrats,
having a majority in the Forty-sixth
Congress, are rather anxious to make
the apportionment of Iiepresenta
tives under tho new census. Before
anything shall be done in that di
rection it becomes the duty of Re-
tiublicans U consider a lew facts
tearing on the case. The amend
ment to tho Constitution very clear
ly define the duty of Congress in
providing for Congressional repre
sentation. Section 2, of the Four
teenth amendment provides that
Representatives shall be appointed
among the several States according
to population, counting the whole
nuimVr of persons in each State,
exclusive of Indians not taxed.
But whenever the right to vote for
electors, Representitives in Congress,
executive and judicial officers, or
members of the Legislature is denied
to any of the male inhabitasts, be
ing of age, and citizens of the United
Stntcs, "or in any way abridged," ex
cept for participation in rebellion
or other crime, the basis of repre
sentation shall le reduced in the
proportion that the number so de
prived of suffrage shall lear to the
whole number of jjjaja citizens
twenty-one years of age in such
State.
Now it has been amply proved
that in several of the south Atlautic
and Gulf States, and in Arkansas,
the right to vote has been denied
to a very large voting population
therein. Thousands have been driven
away from the polling places with
Violence, and other thousands have
been deterred from, going to the
polls to cast their votes by threats
and proscriptive edicts. In addition
to these, in several States th votes
of thousands have been thrown out
on flimsy pretexts and on no pre
texts whatever. There is no con
cealment of the intention of the
dominant party in several States to
abridge the right of suffrage bv false
counting and refusal to count the
vote of the freedmen. Lvcry one of
these plans tor keeping the South
solid for the old slave oligarchy is a
palpable violation of the Constitu
tion, and properly brings the States
in which they prevail under the
penal clause which we have quoted
in substance.
The question of reapportionment
cannot justly be considered without
particular reference to these viola
tions of the organic law. The gov
ernment seems unable to put a stop
to this practical defeat of the uni
versality of suffrage in any other
way than by enforcing the provis
ion of the XIV amendment which
makes Congressional representation
depend upon obedience to the or-

Glas t'lothinjj.
The New York Tribune, Thursday,
savs : lhe ingenuity that led to the
manufacture of articles of clothing
from nanor has been eclipsed. An
Uptown dry goods house has on ex
hibition a table-cloth several lVet
square of varcgatcd colors, with of
namental bonier and fringed edge3.
lhe fabric is flexible, and only a
little heavier than those woven of
fiax. while it is claimed that it can
be washed and ironed like the ordi
nary table-cloth. Glass has been
spun and woven in .Austria for some
years, but it is a new undertaking
in this country. A prominent glass
manufacturing firm of Pittsburgh,
Pa., recently engaged in the manu
facture of this brittle substance into
fabric, which they claim are as jkt-
feet, delicate and durable as suk.
A representative of this firm said
yesterday that they can snin 2.j!I
line threads, each ten miles in length,
in one minute. The weaving is done
with an ordinary loom, but the pro
cess is more difficult and much
more interesting' than the spinning
of cotton or other threads. "
"We can duplicate in glass any
costume," said this gentleman, "and
can make it just as brilliant in color,
elaborate : in finiih, pcifcct in lit,
and equal in its smallest details;
even to the buttons on the original.
The fabric is very strong, cannot be
ripped or torn, and can be sold at a
less price than linen, cotton, or silk,
or other fabric imitated. It is also
very warm, shawl, or other garment
in ordinary clothing." '
Amon" the articles already man
ufactured of glass are beautiful
feathers, which resemble those of
the ostrich, towels, napkins, and
table cloths.
A Hot Collar.
PiTTsB'JROU, Dec. ?. A thrilling
accident occurred at the American
iron works, on South Side, yesterday
afternoon. While 'Robert Moore
was at work at his rolls his catcher
failed to seize w ith lils tongs a bar
of white-hot iron which lie hud
placed between the rolls. The iron
twisted itself twice around the roll,
forming a collar. The catcher struck
the iron, when there blew off a piece
in the shape of a ring with a stern
twenty inches long running off at
right angles to the circle. The band
Hew back and fell around Moore's
head, resting on the shoulders. Quick
as thought lie grabbed the long
stem with his tongs and the white-
hot rins with his hand, and with
stcadv nerve and gentle movement
he lifted the fiery thing from his
shoulders. His face was badlv
burned by the heat emitted from
the iron and the llesh of his hand
was cut into the bone. Afterwards
he put the ring on his head. It was
but two inches lanrcr in diameter

is one of themost extraordinary in
the history of crime, and the arrests
prove to have been the greatest
work ever aceompl'.s'ied by the se
cret service.
SHADOWING THE ROGUES.
Laat July the secret service came
upon the track of Broekway. From
that time till Doyle was arrested in
Chicago Broekway was shadowed.
This led to the discovery of Smith,
a Brooklyn engraver, Owens, a
plate printer, and Doyle. Their
movements were followed, their
haunts were located, their habits
learned. A few days before Doyle
started for Chicago the secret service
became satisfied that Smith was an
engiavtr. He woull come out of his
house, stretch hi legs, walk around
the block for rest and exercise as en
gravers do. His antecedents were
investigated, and it was learned that
he did crooked work. A few days
before Doyle left for Chicago, Brock
way and Doyle were seen together,
and a tew hours before Doyle left
Chicago, Broekway was discovered
giving Doyle a bundle. Some days
before that a bundle was also given
Doyle by Broekway. Doyle was
not arrested in New York for the rea
son that the Secret Service desired
further to pursue their clue against
the rest of the gang, and for the rea
son, -also, that it was expected that
contraband goods would be found
on Doyle. The story of his arrest,
and the capture of the bonds in Chi
cago, and the subsequent arrest in
New York of Broekway Smith and
Owens is know.
THE FIRST ( LI E.
It is said that the only evidence
which had been secured against
these men was that they used a no
tary's seal. Owens bought one and
returned it the next day. On anoth
er day Broekway took a bundle from
Smith's house and left it in an om
nibus. The government secured it
and it contained the broken seal of
a notary. This had been used in
transferring counterfeit bonds. The
goverment's agents were not looking
tor bond counterfeiters, but for bank
note makers, and it is believed that
they did not see at the time the val
ue of the discovery of the seal after
the arrest - Smith confessed, as
serting that lie had been recently
Ld from the . paths of honesty by
Broekway, who had afterward held
him in slavery by threats of expo
sure. He admitted that he had
made the $100 nlate, from which
Plate is the
original one hundred-dollar note
plate in skeleton on copper. Tliere
are also four back borders of one
hundred dollar notes one the oriz
inal and the others electrotypes;
one back center on steel, one sepa
rate title for the Pittsburgh Nation
al Bank of Commerce on steel, and
one $100 counter on steel. The
great prize of the collection is a
plate of the $1,000 5-20 bonds, with
three plates for coupons, two of cop
per and one of steel; there are also
for the manufacture of the same
bonds one copper plate for the en
tire back, another copper plate for
the face border, and a steel plate
with the head of Johnson for the
face, and two original dies on cop
per for a selec tion of the back and
face border. Included in the proji
erty surrendered and dug out of the
ground weie lb2 sheets of the fibre
paper, such as notes are printed up
on. This is supposed to be genuine
official paper. If it is, it must have
been obtained by collusion with
government employes in the facto
ry w here the paper is made. There
were also found in the ground coun
terfeit one hundred dollar notes of
the face value of fcwyiOO purporting
to have been issued by five national
banks ; there were also unfinished
notes of the same kind of the face
value pf $19,210. The latter were, it
i? supposed, intended to be issued as
counterfeits upon the National Ex
change Bank of Baltimore. Two
seals and two numbers for such
notes were also found.
The surrender of this great collec
tion of material makes the capture
of Broekway one of the most impor
tant arrests ever made by the secret
service. It is much more difficult
to secure counterfeit plates than to
arrest those who make and use them.
This time the captured plates were
those from which were made the
most dangerous counterfeits which
have ever corrupted our currency.

tion that it should not bo used
against himself. The government
has as yet secured but little. It had
the men in custody, but there was
no evidence against them except the
material captured with Doyle and
this confession. If these remained
concealed it wits reasonable to ex
pect that they would soon be resur
rected and put to use by the confed
erates of the prisoners
brockway'sgkipon smith.
BrocVway soon began to suspect
that the government had but slim
evidence ajrainst him and therefore
made overtures through his counsel,
lie asserted that lie would le ac
quited if the government sin mid rely
wholly upon Smith's confession. He
declared it could easily be proved
that this confession, was full of lies.
Smith had been a counterfeiter un
der the guise of respectability since
he was IS years old, and had done
the fine work by which many dar
ing ojicrators had won a reputation.
Brock way added that he cuuld provu
thatSmith murdered his wife. Smith
had told him about it at the time.
Mrs. Smith sometimes got intoxica
ted, and while in this condition she
cut her husband with a razor. Brock-
way asserted that a bottle of w hisky
charged with poison had been the
cause of her death, which was pre
ceded by great agony. At Brock:
way s request, Sunth was brought
beforo him, although the latter, who
stood in great dread ot Broekway,
begged the siccial agent, Drum
inond, to spare him this ordeal.
At the interview Broekway taunted
Smith with the lmcompleteness of
hi3 confession, and forced him to
ulmit that he had been a counter
feiter from his eighteenth year, and
that hii first work had been dono
for Jerry Cowden, a rioted counter-
feiter of his day. lie also led him
to admit that lie had worked for
llelliner, another notorious opera
tor, and that he had made a plate of
the 5-2;) bonds. This last admis-
has done, but the electors have not
met to-day or voted, and it is thought
by leading officials and lawyers here
that they have no right to meet and
vote next ednesdov.

was thrown into a furore of excite
ment by a man named Sullivan civ-
ing himself up to the authorities
and conlessing that he murdered a
man named Sibs about ten years
ago. Thp facts, :;s nca.r as curt, be
learned, are as follows : About ten
years ago Joseph Sibs, who ran
cheese factory two miles east of
town, along the railroad, was found
on the railroad in a mutilated con
dition and insensible. He lingered
for several days, and the only thinr
he said was "Thpv killed me."
Nothing could lie ' developed as to
whether he w:i3 struck Ly the cars
or with a weapon, and nothing was
done t bout the matter till Sullivan
gave himself up. The self-charged
murderer used to be in good circuni
stinccs, but was ruined bv drink,
and at one time had an attack of
delirium tremens. His conscience
troubled hip sadly and he is in a
semi-frantic slate.

near Chalk Creek, on the Kokomo

noticed the pine trees trembling, and
in an instant a slide came with a
loud roar, tearing up the track for a
distance of a quarter of a mile and
burying sixty men. John Dine was
killed, nineteen men were badlv in

This is a falling off in the whole

At the north tliere is a very large
number of the foreign-born popu
