law authorizing fSupertiiora ol Elec
tion cannot 'be fully bhderstdod except
by those, who closely watch tbe current
events. Iu prder to understand this
our readers must bear in mind that
Hull, Democratic Lieutenant-Governor
of Florida and member elect of the
next Congress, has been ndicted in the
United States. Courts for procuring
false election returns. His companions
in guilt have been already J tried, con
victed; and sentenced to Albany Peni
tentiary. A similar fate awaits him
unless a jury ca.n be papked to acquit
him. This cannot be dpn while the
present law is in force. Therefore the
Democrats are exceedingly anxious to
repeal it, so that a jury of Red-shirt
bull-dozers may be selected and Hull
may be acquitted. There are several
other Democratic members of the next
Congress who will be indicted, King of
.Louisiana and the notorious Chalmers
of Mississippi and others. Hence the
qrgeut need of haste oti thq part of
their fellow Democrats to save them
from the Penitentiary.
" Those, w ho can make tbe affidavit necessa

That is to sny, that where a man,
who; lived in the South during the late
war, can truthfully swear tbat be was
loyal, to the Union and the government
of the United StateK, ha does not de
serve to have pay for any damage done
to Lia property. Tula Is In perfect
accord with the recent apeecb of Ellis,
;f Louisiana, who denounced allSouth
rn Union t men as traitor. ' There can
be nodoobt that this is now, and bas dl

the South. Joring the war every known
Union1 man was persecuted witb: fire
and 'sword)- It is true that1 just after
the, surrender, when their , necks and
their property, were thought to . be in
danger, the 1 Democrats suddenly began
to1 treat "the Union men with considera
tion and beg for their intercession with
tbe government to, preserve their prop
erty from confiscation. But now, when
there is a Democratic majority ':Jn the
House, and 'a prospective Democratic
majority in the Senate after. the 4th of
March, there is no longer any aieed to
concenl the rancorous hatred for Union
men which burns in, every Democratic

ins the ripening rays of the sun on

to which that of last season shall ab
pear as a, mee bagatelle. The meaus
of rapid transportation "furnished by
our rail-road system which covers the
more populous sections of the country,
like net work, precludes any hope of an
effectual laud quarantine. Isolation'
can only be effected by a rigid embargo
on all the running of trains to or from
infected localities and the absolute dis
continuance of 'all 'other,' means of inter-communication.
This seems almost,
if not quite, impracticable when au
thority and responsibility are divided
and subdivided under oar Government.
All the facts, circumstances and proba
bilities seem to indicate that our only
hope of making a successful fight
against the recurrence of tbe disease is
by attacking it in its undeveloped form
in its chrysalis state, so to speak.
But pre-supposing tbe germ theory
correct, the time is far spent in which
we could have waged an active war
agaipst this invisible enemy while his
armies were j-et unorganized, and lack
iug equipments. Hence the plain dic
tates of common sense 'would seem
now to be for National, State and mu
nicipal authorities to at once settle on
some definite line of co-operation for a
delcnsive warfare, so that there shall be
uo closing" between the efforts to ac
complish all that may he done in the
way of quarantine and in putting ev
ery exposed point in the best possible
sanitary condition. While every one
is in doubt as to the'best measures to
be taken, it would be manifestly unjust
to have expected Congress to devise a
certain means of protection. But the
waste of months on partisan schemes,
while this terrible spectre hovers daily
within the shadow of the Capital, looks
not only like inefficiency but like crimi
nal recklessness orindifference. "What
has it done nnder circumstances that
would have justified giving a good por
tion of tbe sepsipn to this 'one matter,
so ;great Ms "its relative importance
in a sauitary and' commercial point "of
view? Ihe xellow 1 ever Commission
sums bp, practically, all that the collec
tive wisdom of both Houses has yet
been able to 'decide. Its report, admi
rable in its way ,: will prove about as ef
fectual as the Pope's bull ''against the
cornet, .if U& 'suggestions' lead to no
lurtber positive action.
"What may be expected of Congress

Of this infernal cipher. It's d d rough
That I can't have a single moment's qaiet.
Unless I "gobble" it, which means to buy it.
Hep. One moment, good my lord, you do
mistake, ; ? 1
I prithee hear me for your conscience sake.
I do mean a cipher, thus (0), a nought,
But "sigh" for blessings, or from heart o'er
wrought -v. . 1
S. J. T-i I tell you ciphers are the same to me
Whether from heart o'erwrought or Florida,
I have no knowledge of them. I am dead
To all dispatches : under such a head."
Rep, (Aside. ) 1 (He seems determined not to
: understand. ' .: it- .
I'll try again. ) . My lord at your command
I called to-day to have an interview
Concerning matters pertinent to you.
I saw you looking sad, and heard you sigh
t. J. T. My nephew did it. . All the rest's
a lie, ... :
I'm ignorant of what he, Weed,, and Marble,
Did in the case. The papers only garble.
'Tib said they sent dispatches to the Park,
Where I reside. If srt, they kepi it dark.
I was the one most deeply interested
The one whose "bar'l of money" was invested
I was the President that was to be,
And so they kept those matters" all from me,
I never heard a word of hopes or fears.
Or what was being done. The truth appears
Nay, more, when those d-d telegrams were sent
I was in "liuss.ia" purposely iotent 1
On keeping dark, till each "Returning Board"
Should make report and tell whose "01 was
gored," .1 . - ,. . j
How, then, could I know aught of this new
"Moses,"
Or "Gobble," and the others truth discloses?1
It is impossible howe'er you view it. '
Thus say I, Tilden, so says Abram Hewitt. ,
j I tell you 'twas agreed
Between my nephew, Marble, me, and "Wee3,
That I should nothing know. That in my breast
No.U'cipher" knowledge e'er should find a rest;
rhereiore my mem ry s gone clean gone away.
The people won't Relieve me but good day.

He says in reply, to tbe question, "Does
it fulfill the hopes of its . advocates?"
"It does, since it secures fairrepresenta
tioa . to, j minorities.; t Previous to its
adoption ,the eonthern,portion of the
State, knows as 'Egypt rarely elected
a Republican, and the . northern porV
tion, kno ws as 'Canaan as rarely chose
a Democrat. At present one third of
the Egyptian, representatives ; are ' Re--publicans,
and one-third , of . the CaV
naanite representativesare Democrats."
The advantages not only to the people
of the several districts lut t? 'the State
at large,' and, in reality, to " the,' great
political parties,' are ' obvious. "Mr.
Medill denies " that1 tHe'xtew provision
