deposltlng of votes, or causing then, to be

 deposited, we should look forward to the

 day with cheering anticipations. But when

 we call to mind the occurrences oc last

 April, so disgraceful to our city and nation.

 We are pained with the apprehension that

 they may be acted over again at the ap- preaching election. Far be 1t from us to abate, or desire to abate, the enthusiasm

 which prevails in behalf of the Consti- luton and laws" Far be 1t from us to deprive even our political opponents of their just rights. But the question Is whether all this enthusiasm may not be kept up, and these rights maintained, with out converting our city into an arena of violence and bloodshed. The subject may well commend itself to the attention of the civil authorities. They are officially re- sponsble for the public peace. And no- thing can discharge this responsibility, but resort to every means of precaution which the case admits. One of these, and perhaps the most important, Is the employ ment of an efficient police at the polls, that there may be no unnecessary obstruc- ton to persons coming to deposite their votes. It is the business of the authori- ties and their posse, to keep the polls clear; and If this Is done, one of the principal ln- centives to violence Is taken away or pre- vented. Jo'r cf Com.
