Judge Bbown, of the Baltimore Supreme
Court, with a view of putting a check to

of all persons who have served within two

A mule near Marysville, California, is
probably the only animal of his kind in the
country who has a bank account. His
owner is a sheep herder near Gridley’s
station. For sometime he has been depos
iting in the banii the sum of $5 per month
to the credit of his dog and mule, so in case
of his suddenly kicking the bucket they
would have something to live upon. The
other day the dog died and the mule is full
heir to the estate.

The Philadelphia Times peppered its edi
torial page on the 7th with a polyglot invi
tation to voters to vote for reform. It had
it In English and in many other tongues.
The sentiment did it infinite honor, but the
Greek line would not have been understood
by Pericles. It was simply the English
phrase written In Greek character; oddly
enough it lo >k-d, too. Yet it was interest
ing to notice how that good advice looktd
in foreign g 'rb: "Stem for reforme.” "Vo
tate por la reforma.” "Vote por la refor
ma." "Votez pour la reforme.” “Elige re
formationem” —that hurts a little. "Vote
pela reforma.” “Stimmt fur reform”—that
sounds well; but here is a fearful one,
“Pleidieiswch dros Ddiwygiad”—we hope
that those noble adopted citizens did it ac
cordingly. The Invitation was also extend
ed in Hebrew, and it closes in pigeon Eng
lish. “Melican man muchee want leforme;
Chineman wante alle same.”
Philadelphia Times: The Independent
voter has indeed been abroad, and he may
fairly claim the wreath of victory. He has
gone to the polls and voted for Tilden
and Reform, and his ballot has borne the
name of the successful candidate, in Con
gressional and local contests he has, how
ever, most distinguished himself and
achieved the greatest results. Party lines
have been utterly insufficient to withstand
the vigor of his attack. He threw aside
Republican predilections in Massachusetts
to poll for Charles Francis Adams a vote
of which any man might be proud, and to
give General Banks the worst scare of his
life. In New York ha played havoc with
paitlsan estimates of Congressional major
ities, and in every State his foot-prints are
seen in the returns. Butin Pennsylvania,
where he is comparatively anew element
In politics, he struck his sturdiest blows.
It may almost be said that scratching has
been the rule, not the exception. Congress
men and county officers, backed by hither
to formidable majorities, and fortified by
all sorts of powerful influences, have fallen
before him as the reed before the wind.
The Republican majority In Philadelphia
has been battered into suoh diminutive
proportions that the party managers will
be ashamed to own their offspring, and the
election of Wright—a contingency of
which they never dreamed—is the crown
ing triumph and glory of the Independent
voter. Let the bosses and the rings and
committees take the lesson of yesterday to
heart. The people are taking this election
business in their own hands, and, having
won the sceptre, will not easily resign it.
AFTER THE BATTLE,
Morton’s gocjp-night song as sung by
THE CANANDAIGUA GLEE CLUB.
O. Chandler, I am tired now,
I do not care to hear you blow,
Just pour some camphor o my brow,
And turn the gas down very low;
O, Chandler the game is up,
I near the inigh y Tilden tread;
Now stir some nervine in my cup,
And put me in my little bed.
(Cko.)—Come, Chandler, come, kiss me
good-night
I am sorry now for what I’ve said
They’ve whipped us fairly in the
fight,
So put me in my little bed.
Do you remember, Chandler, dear,
You said we must wake up the war!
We’ve overshot the mark, I fear,
And pushed the business quite too far;
The lighting men have left our ranks,
With Hooker, Sigel, Farnsworth,
• ORSE.
We've only Butler, Schenck and Banks
And things have gone irom bad to worse
(Chorus)—
O drop the curtains. Chandler, dear.
The bonfires make my eye-balls ache,
And stuff some cotton In each ear,
Thos ■ victory notes my heart will break
An awful ghost Is in my room.
With horrid blue jeans breeches on,
I see the shadow in the gloom,
O! bid the haunting thing begone.
(Clio.)—Come, Chandler, come, bid me
good-night,
I hear the mighty Tildes tread,
They’ve whippea us fairly in the
fight,
So put ms in my little bed.
Correction.
By am error in composition, we were
made to say in our extra of yesterday,
that Florida had certainly gone Demo
cratic by 1,000 majority. We meant
1,600 majority and so wrote, but some
£ow or other it didn’t get set up right.
Felton’s Election—lts Lesson.
The overwhelming election of Mr.
Felton, iu the Seveuth District of
Georgia, should teach some of the “or
ganized Democracy” who have been
pursuiog that geaflemain with rancor
and abuse without stint, that they can
not make any such war with profit to
themselves.
vVe believe that Dabney, the regular
ly nominated candidate, would have
made a better run, had Dr. Felton
been treated with common decency.
When it was proposed by some of the
“organized Democracy”--so-calied-— to
brand a man with the infamy of
Radicalism, whose record as a Demo
crat has been consistent and unassail
able, and who simply runs on an inde
pendent schedule, it is more than prob
able that the fell spirit of intolerance
will, some time or other, be rebuked.
In the case of Dr. Felton this rebuke
has come most signally. It is manifest
taat many good and true Democrats
resented the inquisitorial dictatorship
of some of the party commandery, and
they probably did so because an at
tempt was superciliously made to fas
ten upon them an ignominious yoke.
We believe in party organization and
party discipline. We believe, as a gen
eral proposition, in voting straight
tickets. But none the less do we dep
recate the bigotry, intolerance and des
potism that would pursue, as sleuth
hounds do, the man who, as good a
Democrat as anybody, commits
the sole indiscretion, on his own re
sponsibility, of operating outside the
mere machinery of the party.
Had Dr. Felton received proper treat
ment at the hands of his opponents,
and especially from some of the press,
he would in all likelihood have been
defeated, or, at all events, his majority
would not have grown into enormous
proportions.
We feel assured that the Democracy
f Georgia will receive no hurt in Con
gress from Dr. Felton, and we do not
share the apprehension of some of our
friends that his success in the 7th Dis
trict imperils the organization every
where in the State. We do not credit
him with any such power, and we pre
sume he has no such intentions. But,
one thing is very certain, and that is
the organized Democracy must be as
just as it is powerful, or else the seeds
of disintegration wiil fasten upon its
vitals, sown not by Dr. Felton, but by
the extremists who desire to damn and
defame everybody and everything that
dares to differ in the least from their
supposed infallibility.
The grand Democratic party of
Georgia will remain everywhere organ
.zed and triumphant so long as it shall
be true to itself and its principles, and
not the sport and lever of local politi
cians, who, in a number of cases, are
mere blind leaders of the blimd. We
can afford, as party men, to use the
man whom we may consider an erring
brother, with dignity, self-respect and
courtesy. Such weapons employed
against him will either restore him
to the fold or else defeat his pur
pose without a sting. We suggest
such a course to some of our more
irrepressible friends, who will find, in
the long run, that more flies are caught
by sugar than by vinegar. It was the
war of bitterness against Tilden that
helped his election ever so much; and
the remorseless war against Felton
has made him friends and supporters,
who would, under other circumstances,
have zealously helped Dabney. Let us
have peace I
A Little Law on the onbjeot—lmpor
tant to Uncle Sam's Officers.
We publish the following sections of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, for the information of army
officers who, under the order of Presi
dent Grant, go to Florida from this
section:
Sec. 5531. Every officer or other person
in the military or naval service who * *
imposes or attempts to impose any regu
lations for conducting' any general or
special election in a State different from
those prescribed by law, or who interferes
la any manner with any officer of an elec
tion in the discharge of his daty, shall be
punished as provided in section fifty-five
huaared and twenty-nine.
The punishment prescribed by sec
ti ii 5,529 is a fine not exceeding $5,000
or imprisonment at hard labor not ex
ceeding five years, and in addition to
these punishments the offender shall
“be disqualified from holding any office
of honor, profit or trust under the
United States.”
Another section reads thus:
Sec. 2003. No officer of the army or navy
of the United States shall prescribe or fix,
or attempt to prescribe or fix, by procla
mation, order or otherwise, the qualifica
tions of voters in any State, or in any man
ner interfere with the freedom of any elec
tion in any State, or with the exercise of
the free right of suffrage in any State.
An infraction of this section meets
the same punishment,
The only authority for military inter
faience at any State election is when
the voting is actually going on, and
that authority is derived from the fol
lowing section :
See, 2002. No military or naval officer, or
other person engaged in the civil, military,
or naval service of the United States, shall
order, bring, keep, or have under his au
thority or control, any troops or armed
men at the place where any general elec
tion 4s held in any State, unless It be neces
sary to repel the armed enemies of the
United States, or to keep the peace at the
polls.
Any interference after the polls qre
closed is a ciitne and subject to the in
famous punishment above mentioned. '
Baltimore Gazette: To Gen. Hampton,
If elected, as seems probable, we ten
der our pjneerest congratulations; for
of all the heroes of this campaign, not
one has won a nobler triumph. The
measure of his fame was full, but for
the State and people he loved he sac
rifleed every personal feeling and in
terest, and against odds before which
the bravest might have quailed, he
has swept away the Federal power,
which clutched their very throats, and
trampled under foot the filthy vermin
which fattened upon their substance.
It is devoutly to De hoped that the
demoralized brigade will pluck up
courage and begin to believe, what we
have always told them, that Tildes* is
elected.
A Railroad Man’s Opinion.
Mr. Beadle, a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, who was in this city
a few days ago, thus wrote to his
paper:
D. C. Wilson, Esq., President of this line
ijthe -Port Royal and Augusbu Railroad),
says: “I have no trouble whatever with
the blacks. They are the laboring men for
this country; can do thework andare will
ing. Rut they can’t do as much as a white
man. They don’t know how, as a rule, and
the laboring system they grew up under
taught them nothing. These young fel
lows do a great deal better. They do all
the work on the road, you see, and are
steady and reliable.”
Mr. Wilson, be it noted, Is a Scotchman
by birth, lately naturalized in New York,
and now a South Carolina Conservative.
His view is that the late master class are
restrained from seeking any good in the
blacks; “the aggravation natural at see
ing him the governing power overbears all
minor virtues. They too often treat him
badly in the matter of pay, and are cer
tainly not displeased when he fulfils their
propheoles of evil. Nor is the negro him
self a particularly conciliatory being.
When he gets an office his first move Is to
turn out with a pair of blooded horses,
wear a breast-pin the size of a brickbat,
and matte speeches on all possible occa
sions.” Thus Mr. Wilson, and I consider
his view about correct.
Ignorance and Hate.
The venom of the Cincinnati Gazette
against the solid South would be dan
gerous, perhaps, if it were not so blind.
The day after the election of Tilden
we read in that melancholy sheet the
following:
Distinguished service in the rebel army
would then be as pre-eminent a merit for
high civil position as service in the Na
tional army has been in the Republican
regime. We may expect the Tilden Cabi
net to be constructed something like this:
Secretary of the Treasury, John B.
Floyd.
Secretary of War, Jhitebson Davis, or
Johnston, or Beauregard.
Secretary of the Navy .Raphael Semmes.
Secretary of State. Benjamin Hill, or
Toombs, or Bashi-Bazook Butler.
Secretary of the Interior, Sterling Price
or Forrest.
Postmaster-General, John H. Reagan.
Attorney-General, Wade Hampton.
Of the persons mentioned above, two
are dead— John B. Floyd and Sterling
Price. Of course, the Gazette, crushed
by defeat and stung by disappointment,
knew no better. But not satisfied with
such an exhibition of utter ignorance
of events, the editor plunges into a
further blunder by soeeringly stating
that John Slidell would probably be
appointed Minister to England by
President Tilden ! It happens that
Mr. Slidell died some years ago ; but
the Gazette proposed to deliver a Par
thiau arrow while driven I’ugitively be
fore the Democratic vanguard, and it
grew careless whether i£s hurtless
bolt was tipped with the gall of ani
mosity, or the wormwood of reckless
spite.
The editor of the Cincinnati paper
need have no fears of Tilden or his
Cabinet, unless he cherishes an undy
ing esteem for putrefaction and dreads
the return of honest and high-minded
officials, who will be a credit to them
selves and to the Union. If President
Tilden should select a few Southern
men for his Cabinet, the meu thus
chosen would not be of the order of
Belknap, Boutwell, Jewell, Delano,
Chandler or Don Cameron. The
Southern men, called to such positions,
will be like their grand ancestry, in
days of old, without fear and
without reproach. But the true
men of the South are not now
looking to the spoils of office, nor will
they quarrel about who shall or shall
not be rewarded for party service.
Our people are too happy over their
deliverance to descend from the empy
rean of joy to the earth-earthy low
lands of crafty and selfish scheming
for place and profit. There is a good
deal of “chivalry” left in the South,
and it will come just in time to purify
the social and political fabric of the
Union, so long polluted by the Ring,
publisaus, who have violated the tem
ple of Liberty itself with bargains and
corruption.
It is amusing to read the Republican
Journals the day after the election.
They gave it up at once and, in point
of fact* have never had a genuine hope
since. Meanwhile, some of the Democ
racy tried their level best to be more
wretched and desperate than the Re
publicans themselves.
An Albany (N. Y.) dispatch to the
New York Times says that Tilden was
voted for by Republicans all over
Albany, and that he ran ahead of his
ticket in Republican wards. Wherever
President Tilden is personally known
he commands the respect and often
the votes of his opponents.

LIVER PILLS !
IF your head aches, take three PiUs on
going to bed.
If your liveo is not acting properlv, and
you feel dull and drowsy, three Pills at
night will clear the system of vitiated bile,
and make you feel like anew person.
If you have a pain in the side or back,
it probably arises from a torpid liver. Stir
it to action by taking a dose of these Liver
Pills.
If your bowels are constipated, two Pills
at bed time will set you all right.
If your food does not digest, take two or
three Pills twice a week at bed time, until
three or four doses have been taken, and
you will rind yourself eni irely relieved of
these disagreeable symptoms.
If your complexion is sallow, and your
eyes discolored, a full dose of these Pills
will impart a roseate hue to your cheeks,
and give your eye the brilliancy of perfect
health.
If you have Chills and Fever, take three
of the Liver Pills at bed time, after the
chill has passed off. If they should not
operate thoroughly before breakfast, take
one more Pill. During the day take about
15 grains of quinine, in doses of live grains
each, at intervals oi two hours. Repeat the
quinine for two or three days, About the
sixth night, take another do-e of the Pills,
and on the seventh day take fifteen grains
of quinine as before.
By following this treatment carefully,
no one need suffer from this distressing
complaint.
In any and all diseases where a cathartic
medicine i6 required, these Pills will be
found the safest and beet remedy before
the public.
