LYNCHING THREATENED. Hon. Frank W. Pop*-, of Florida, In 1M»C' From n Mob. Jacesgxville, Fla.. Feb. 2.—Hon. Frank W. Pope, who was the independent Republican candidate for Governor in 1«M, is being threatened with lynching at Madison, where he reCeutly went for the purpose of procuring evidence to sustain the contest of E. 8. Goodrich (Rep.) for the Congressional seat for that distiicL Rumors reflecting on Mr. Pope’s methods spread, and certain hot-headed individuals took advantage of th« popular excitement to instigate a movement against him. The authorities determined that Mr. Pope should be protected at all hazards. Governor Fleming telegraphed to the same effect Sheriff Parramore collected a posse and surrounded the house where Mr. Pope was staying Thursday night, that being the time seleeted for the attack. The would-be lynchers appeared, but were dismayed at the preparations made to Teceive them, and disappeared. It is feared that they will renew their operations, and the sheriff and posse are keeping careful watch over Pope. Mr. Pope is a native of Madison, bat has become very unpopular of late years on account of his political record. He is plucky, and telegraphs his f lends that he has no fear. _ HsrrUw’i Family Altar, H«w Yoke, Feb. 1.—The Daily Graphie to-day says: “A friend who knows General Harrison and his family well says that the General begins the day on his knees, last after breakfast every morning. no matter what his engagements are, he holds a morning service in his library, first reading a chapter from the Bible, theneagaging in prayer.

SHERMAN’S CUNNING. The Ohio rhiHm'a Corrupt and Wicked Centralising Project. Senator Sherman has prepared a bill to regulate the election of members of Congress which is intended to place in the hands of the President the control of the House of Representatives. It is a bold and startling proposition to centralize the Government in the Executive Department Senator Sherman proposes that the President shall appoint five persons in each State a board of canvassers and three persons in each Congress district an electoral board for such district, their terms to be during good behavior. The electoral board of each district is to appoint a registrar for each precinct or election district, to hold office^tor six years, and three judges of el^wa for each precinct or election district. A registration of voters shall be made and only these registered shall be permitted to vote. It is so plain as to require no argument to demonstrate it, that the effect of this measure would be to put the control of the election machinery, so far as Congressional elections are concerned, absolutely in the hands of the President. He would, if he wees so minded, be able to secure at any time the election of a Congress which would serve the purposes of his ambition. The Independence of the Legislative branch of the Government would thus be placed at the mercy of the Executive. Instead of purifying elections or enlarging the freedom of suffrage, it would tend to the further corruption of the ballot through the patronage of the Federal Government and the exclusion of thousands of working-men from the polls who can not afford to lose the time to apply for registratioh before Federal as well as State officials. It is simply a cunning but cumbrous device to narrow the privileges of the people at the bal-lot-box. Senator Sherman pretends that his bill is intended to “insure fair elections.” Pah! If this Ohio pharisee meant to promote fairness at Congressional elections he would begin his work at the beginning. He would propose a measure to prevent the gerrymandering of States in Congressional apportionments by which nearly twice as many votes are required to elect a candidate of one party aa are necessary to give the election lb a candidate of another party. He would say to his party in Congress, let us prohibit the apportionment of States into Congressional districts and fix a, ratio fofr tho election of Congressmen by dividing the vote of a State by the number of Congressmen to be chosen and »dmining to seats only such candidates, as receive the full ratio or more orisnubnearest to receiving the full ratio. If he were to do this and Congress were to adopt the suggestion there might be something of the semblance of fair elections of Con gress«nan.—Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot

DUDLEY'S ABSOLUTION. The Sniveling Hypocrisy or the Ineotning ••Reform" AdmlaUfcratlaa. The crimes of Dudley, whereby Indiana was carried for the Republicans, have not escaped punishment without seriously compromising the incoming Administration. Through a direct exertion of the influence of the Presidentelect the judge of that district has reversed his opinion of the guilt of Dudley, and the grand jury has been instructed that it must have proof, not only that Dudley mapped out the campaign of bribery, as charged, but also that persons, accepting his advice, aid, counsel and process, advanced to the concrete act and accomplished the debauchery of an electorate, through the exploitation of five voters at n lima The organ of the President-elect, which is edited by the private secretary of Mr. Harrison, does not conceal its joy at this outcome, and the Chicago mouth-piece and financial agent of the Republican committee of Indiana echoes the song of triumph. “The fears of a possible indictment havo ail disappeared.” quoth the happy editors, who, at the last day, wero so in fear that Huston was short in funds owing to the advanced views of sellers. The Herald, from the first, has maintained that a sniveling hypocrisy would he the outer garment of the new regime. Under so much saintly apparel, all the skullduggeries of politics and jobbery would hide. The escape of Dudley is like the recent escape of Gould. Naught but the scandalous interference, by a judge, with the logic of judicial procedure would shield the object of legal inquiry, After the failure of other expedients, that intervention went remorselessly on record. That the Indianapolis coterie, with General Harrison at their head, did not dare to let the law take its. course, is an acceptance of Dudley's service efaoUtt on

1. G. B —I’m Here. Fetch on your A* ministration. —Puck. A STARTLING SCHEME. \ An Illinois Congressman's Plan for Counting the Presidential Tote. The proposition of Congressman Springer to elect the President and Vice-President by a direct vote of the people, each State to be entitled to as many votes as it may have Senators and Representatives in Congress, will probably receive the serious consideration of the House. Mr. Springer recently made an interesting computation of the vote in the recent election, based upon his system, which provides that the aggregate popular vote in each State shall be divided by the number of Presidential votes to which each State is entitled, the quotient to be the ratio of the Presidential vote, and the candidates having the largest fractions being entitled to the odd Presidential votes votes. According to the plan Mr. Cleveland would have received 21)8 votes. General Harrison, 187, and Fisk and Streeter, the "Prohibition and Labor candidates respectively, i each, making in all 401. These votes, divided among Urn various States, would have sUxxnb follows: State. Alabama. S Arkansas.. S California........ 4 Colorado... 1 .

Representative Stewart, of Philadelphia, wants National legislation to restrict pauper and vicious immigraticn, and thinks a demand on Congress by the Pennsylvania Legislature for a law on that subject would go far toward having the desired object accomplished. Mr. Stewart says that the importation of a foreign element in his district has reduced wages from $1.60 and $1.75 to 70 and 90 cents a day. According to the statement of Mr. Stewart the manufacturers in the Republican district which he represents are tho embodiment of ingratitude. Although protected by a high tariff they employ pauper labor for 70 cents a day to tho exclusion of the American - m
