i loon-keepers were paid $35 for vo-
Mieir boarders. In in® village
tjrookslou, where there are only
; W legal voters, there were 258 votes
F caßtfbr Washburn, mostly by nou
t resident rialway hads, paid for so
r doing. ;< In the northwestern part of
the district, where a railway was in
process of construction, and there
1 werQ-weithfii’. county orgauizitiona,
i precincts nor settled population, a
r large number of laborers living in
, cars and having no local
,i habitation, used cigar boxes for bal
. lob-boxes, and all their votes—for
J wliFchthey were duly paid—were
i\ebunted for Washburn. In Minnea
•, poiis, where Washburn resided, and
p from whence he directed the cam
pnigii, the Republicans polled a full
‘ vote, while it is estimated that near-
> ly or quite 3,000 Democrats did not
I _vdte at all. They were mainly work-
ingmsßi did not dare to vote the
. Democratic ticket for fear of losing
their situations. The employers—
/threatened to dischaige Democratic
1 voters, and in those precincts of the
• City where the workingmen mostly
, r'eSide, the ballots were numbered —
J contrary to law—so as to enable the
employers to detect and punish the
employes who disobeyed their com
' mahds. Under this arrangement
the Republican majority in Minneso
ta, which at the Presidential election
K fitfTß7fi was : bhly * 355, fos**, when
Washburn ran in 1878, to 3,680. In
the seven precincts where the bal
lots Were numbered, Washburn had
~ 1,760 majority, when two years be
fore the Democrats had 525 majority
-rs-ahowing a Republican gain iu that
short time of 2,285 votes out of a to
tal of about 3000. In two of thepre
ginls no returns were made of the
vote until eight days
-after election, and in one of them
Washburn claimed 483 majority—
though the tally-sheets kept by one
of the clerks showed a majority of on
ly 26.
• The committee throw out the votes
bFtiie seven precincts in Minnesota
where the ballots were numbered in
violation of law, not on that account
’ alone, but because the numbering
was pact of the general schema of
conspiracy, fraud and intimidation
, dtvised by Washburn and his fririds.
The evidence shows conclusively that
1 had the election been a fair one,
Donnelly would unquestionably have
, carried Minneapolis as he did the
rest of the district. The report
' gives him a majority of 230 votes, and
Closes as follows:
i l! ’“We have not rejected the vote of
any county because it was unorgani
zed, neither have we rejected the
vote of any precints because of the
numbering of the ballots per se, but
because such numbering was one of
the incidents of a system of fraud
, and intimidation; neither have we
rejected the votes of any counties for
mere informalities on the face < f the
returns, but only for those gross ir
regularities which were manifestly
incompatible with a legal canvass of
the votes.”
. -No vote has been taken in the
House on the committee’s recom
mendation, but the probabilities are
that Donnelly will get the seat which
..belongs to him Anticipating such
result some Republican organs are al
ready ending a* tention to it as “part
ofthe Democratic plot to steal the
Presidency.” We have not observed,
! shg.’fre.ver > Jhat arty of them condemn
the* "Washburn plan of electioneer
ing, or that they manifest any indig
nation at the bulldozing of white
workingmen in Minneapolis, and the
consequent loss of nearly three thou
sand votefe. Had the city been New
Orleans and the sufferers negroes
what a roar of righteous wrath would
go up from “stalwart” throats !

( feature of the countenance, has al
( ways been regarded by Gb.ristians
, the result of visions into the myptt j--
, ions beyond, which those passing
’ Lorn earth only There
, is a sweetness and comfort about this
( faith that all who have stood by th®
bier of loved ones most affectionate
ly realize and cherish. The idea is
that those of faith and hope, and
who arc at pbace with God, in the
last still moments when life steals
; away like a spark that is absent, see
visions of the angel land which
makes them glad in death. It is as
if the soul lingered and kissed-the
, lips of the dying ere it took its flight.
. It is the smile of the soul left.upon
‘ lipa still in death. What a beautiful
thought! How charming the faith I
, How sweet the connection between
earth and a happier clime.
Recently in this city a lovely
young woman passed from life to the
unknown beyond. For days before
her faint breathings ceased forever,
she wore a smile upon her lips. No
pain could long drive it from her
face. Driven again, and again, it
returned again, and again, and Yes
ted there when she was dead, fkm
•tan’y she saw abgels arOunrt her
bed, angels with white wings and ’
plumage as white as snow and with
human faces, angels bright,., with
smiles and radiant with., heavenly
beauty. She frequently called.her
mother’s attention to the presence of
these sweet forms about her bed, and
wondered that to one saw them but
herself. She seemed to talk with
them her lips would move as if
speaking, and when asked what she
wanted she would smile again and
point to the matchless.visions that
hovered around her. With a mind
perfectly clear and rational upon all
earthly subjects, to the extent fc ’en
of directing the mode and mapper of
bringing up her only child, to the
disposition even of the minutest of
her effects—yet she saw these lovely
visions and smiled, and smiled to her
litest breath.
Sometimes, among the angels that
hovered around her she saw the faces
of loved friends gone before;- She
saw the loving and tender face of a
young mother, that seemed to weep
and smue in the sama moment, as if i
the rest of paradise struggled with
ber love of child and busb ind left be
hind. -She saw the bright counte
nance and golden tresses of a sweet
fr end that died in her maidenhood
wi<h the subtle tints of first love
fresh upon her fair brow; Both
seemed with a smite of mingled pity
and hope to beckon her on to the
beautiful land in which they were
angels.
At last, when the still hour came,
she saw troops of angels w’ith zephyr
wings about her couch, angels like
biris wi h snowy wings, rngels that
emiled and laughed at her coming.
And then a music as sweet as dreams,
music that comes soft as sighs, music
that thrilled and touched and linger
ed, music that steals over the soul
like echoes of love songs on waters
hushed by night-whispers, music J
from heavenly climes, that she alone
heard. And thus s-hie died, peaceful
ly, sweetly, like one who passes into
pleasant dreams.
When still in death, a lovely smile
was upon her lips. It was as if the
angels Lad kissed her a welcome to
heaven.. , t ■■ c
It is not our province to philoso-F
pldze upon this beautiful death; We
will not uudeitaku with cold reason
to analyz the visions she saw, or the
smile that lingered upon her face in
death. It is enough for us to know
that in her death .he Christian’s hope
was beautifully illustrated. In the
sweet visions she saw, in the bright
smile that mule her wasted face
beautiful in death, w® arb content to
recognize a nrovidence and a hope
beyond mortal knowledge.— -Jackson,

zk reporter of the Chattanooga
Times has had an interview whith
Elder Morgan, President of the
Southern Mission of the Mormon
Church, and one of most impor
t*nt and influential members, Mr;
Morgan says that the Mormon reli
gion is daily gaining gtiength and
favor in the Southern States. He
says ihit the people at large are ex
prefes:on more sympathy and friend*
ship toward the church. As they
aie becoming better acquainted with
its workings and details, of its teach
ings this feeling becomes the more
manifest. They are now averaging
about thirty baptisms each month in
the Southern States alone, and the
number is continually increasing.
The demand for more elders is con
stantly coming from the South, and '
it has at last become so persistent
that at the April conference twenty
moieeldeis will be ordained and
distributed through the South to
propagate the dopi rines of the Mor
mon creed. There are now about !
forty m-fsionaries of that church in I
the South, and in aid tion a number
of local preachers. Elder Morgan
says that the oposition which was
formerly manifested, and which last
year culminated in the murder of an
elder, is now rapidly dying out, and
they are everywhere meeting with
more fav >r and encouragement.
It is said by learned men that
Good Friday and Easter this year
fell exactly on the anniversary of the
events they commemorate; that it'
was on the 26tb of March that the
Crucifixion took place, aud the 28th
wit nessed the Resurrection.
