The members of the Democratic party,
in nn the highest to the lowest, cannot be too
tic q.o uglily permeated with the idea that the
new era upon which. we are entering—in=
deed, have entered—calls for new men where
old ones have not suceeeded, and for an Ws'
telligent discernment bet Ween the issues that
belong to the dead past and those which are
instinct with the life of to-dayand quickened
with a life in the future.
Th‘e policy of the Democrats has been too
much one of stubborn adherence to favorite
leaders, in the face ci. ‘ fnevitable defeat. They
have barred the domitp, rather than open it
c „. wide for, converts. They have done a great
deal to r iliscourage, and little to encourage,
young, ambitious 'men in joining the party,
-If we would be successful, we must open
wide the doors and pursue a catholic and
liberal policy in regard to all appointments
. and nominations. We must cease dreaming
4,f the past and Its dead issues, and direct our
attention to the present, and to its effect on
the future; and must support those who arc
/10W right, and who proriiiie us to be liemaf
ter, rather than to fight over again the bat
tles thai arc dead beyond recall. Especially
must we do this when in those battles we
have been 'defeated.

The ••• Irre . preKsible Conflict", n New
Phase.
The negro quesilon is giving timble in
the (lovernment printing office at Washing
ton. The new Superintendent, A. M. Clapp,
of Buffalo, has inaugurated the system of
keeping only friends of the .-la.'ministration
in his employ, and on Monday thirty-six
Democratic compositors were discharged.
Among the new men put on, is a negro, son
of Fred. Douglass. The printers make the
excuse for nor wanting him there that he
is a "rat,"—in'ather words, doesn't belong to
the Typographical Colon. Thus far only
Union printers have been employed in the
office, and they will not work with " rats."
Either young Douglass must travel, or there
will ho a muss. It looks as iftwrudder Clapp
had g , •t himself into a scrape.

in our system' of suffrage, and is well de
scribed by a entemporary as having been
framee'with,a view-to make voting as dint

are completed; the assessor must make out a '
separate diet of all new assessments, and the

The Commissiohers must then 'cause' du-
Plicate copies of these lists to be made, noting
the different' observations anti explanations.'
The assessor, prior to the first of August. of.
each year, shall- put one copy, on the house
wherein the election is to be held, and keep
the other for inspection of any' resident of
the district.
.sPerstins claiming the right to
vote can have their names added on personal
application, and the assessor will' mark" the
tax, and note the observations applicable to
each, opposite his name. The' assessments
must be completed on the tenth day preced

year, and on the Monday following, the as
sessor must make return to-the County Com
missioners of the extra assessments. The'
same must then be added' ter the other : return

A claimant to vote, whose name is not on
the list, must produce at least one qualified
voter of the district as a witness to the fact of
his residence in that particular district at
least ten days next preceding the election,
and this witness must take and subscribe a
written or printed affidavit to the facts stated
by him ; "and the person so claiming the
right to vote shall also take and subscribe a
written, or partly written and partly printed
affidavit, stating, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, where and when he was born ;
that Le is a citizen of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and of the United States ; that
he has resided in 'the Commonwealth .one
year, or if formerly 'a citizen therdin and has
moved therefrom, that he has resided therein
six months next preceding said election ; that

When and where the tax claimed to be paid
by the afflant was assessed, and when, where
and'to whom ps,kl; and the tax receipt there
for shall be produced for examination, unless
• the affiaill shall state in his affidavit' that it
has Wen lost or destroyed, or that he never
received any; but if the person so chaining
the right to vote shall take and subscribe an
affidavit, that he is a native born citizen of
the United States, (or it born elsewhere, shall
state that fact in his affidavit, and shall pro
duce evidence that he has been naturalized,
or that ho is entitled to citizenship by reason .
of his father's naturalization d and if he shall
futthor state in his affidavit that he is, at the
time of taking the affidavit, between thq ages
of twenty-one and twenty-two years; that he
has resided in the state one year and in the
election district ten days next preceding, such
election, he shall be entitled to vote, although
he shall not have paid, taxes. The said affi
davits of all personsmaking such claims, and
the affidavits of the wittlessto their residence.

at tho clog° of tho election they shall be en
closed with the list of voters, tally list and
other papers required by law to be filed by
the return judge with the Prothonotary, and
shall remain on file therewith in the pro
thonotary's office, subject:to examination, as
other election papers are. lithe election of
ficers shall find that the applicant possesses
all . the legal qualifications of voters, he or
they shall be permitted to vote, and the name
or names shall be added to the list of tax

We would entertain a hearty admiration
for the man wLo.siould take the pains to get
up an affidavit of that kind fur the blessed
privilege of voting.

right'of challenge by any body who chooses
to exercise that right, and must furnish the
same proof se iY now required of a voter
when challCuged. Aud the naturalized citi

has been for ten yews consecutively a voter
in that particular district, and when he votes,
the officers tne:. Write or stamp the word
"voted" on his certificate.
Two oveaseers are to be appointed on the
petition of five citizens swearing that they
believe frauds will be practiced. If the offi
cers refuse to allow' them to be present or if
they are driven away from the polls, then, in
a contested election, the whole box is to be
thrown out.
Thus, whilst the door is thrown open wide
for the negro to deposit his vote in the ballot
box, innumerable difficulties are thrown in
the path of the white man whoa he seeks to
exercise the same privilege. This Registry
law seems to have been frahted with a view
to make Votiog : ll.9 difficult of accomplishment

The Dtemocrata to Carry Pennsylvania
The New York Sun, which was, last fall,
ono of Gen. Grant's most fervent supporters,
contains a review of the political situation in
this State, concluding with the remark that
"it would be in accordance with precedent if
the Democrats should carry Penitsvlvania
next fall. lit 1800 Lincoln bad nearly 60,000
majority in that State, anti in 1801, the year
afterward, the Democratic candidate for Au
ditor-General, the principal officer then elec
ted, was successful by a majority of 3,500.
The same effect is likely to be produced now.
The dissathfaction with President Grant's
appointments is general among all factions of
the Republican party; and those amateur
statesmen who were delighted aLthe retort
with which the President overwhelmed that
able veteran of Politics, Col. McClure, in
February, will most probably entertain a dif
ferent sentiment when they learn in October
that McClure wars much tliewiser mast of the
two."

PRESIDENT .(48.4.1."r has made a new ap
pointment. Mr. William Thompson, under
l3uchanan's Administration was Consul at
Southampton. When the war broke out he
espoused the cause of the "lost cause," and
acted as agent of Messrs. Root and Yancey
the Southern Coonnissioners. Stich is Mr.
Thompson's retord,and General Grant, who,
as the friend of the soldier, lately ousted
General Knipe from the Harrisburg post of
fice, has recently reappointed him Consul
to Southampton.
A Costurrrsz from the National Council
of Union_Leagnes called upon the President
last week to convey to him assurances of the
support of the Union Leagues, which f are
to be again rallied to the stanflard of the Re
publican party; as a means otsnstaining the
Administration, and of keeping the Govern-.
ment , in the hands of the Republican party.
The Presidentinformed them of his intention
taco-operate with them, and assured them
that lie had done and should do all he could
to protect the Republican party. Is this the
'man who said he would not be a party Presi- .
dent ?
Tns Chicago Republican follows the Chi
cago Tribune in denouncing Grant's admin./
istration. It says: "It is useless to conceal
a fact. which has become patent to all, and
that is, that the' administration has disap
pointed not only the country generally, but
its immediate party friends. ,Even the veil
jackals and very buizards and scavengers of
the party c amy). n ot only scent the rising gale
of pooutor dissatisfaction, but are. preparing
to veer around and take advantage of the un
eariedted change of sentiment. . The wisest
meri of the party look anon the political si
mint' with the most painful and anxious s,r
liciltnle, and predict -that roar years •of its
present management will most
„assuredly
make shipwreck of it, if not of the country
itself."

thing in favor of patent medicines, but I have
found your Catarrh Remedy such an effectu
al soother in 'those annoying attacks which
We. term "colds in the• head," that I take
pleasure in testifying to its merits. Two or
•three applications have always removed the
disagreeable symptoms, dried the weeping
eyes and quenched. the Bardolphian flames
of the nose. If it possessed no other virtue,
its worth would be beyond 'mice as a simple
and effective antidote for the horrors of a
