Congress man Flower has been spending some weeks in New York studying the political situation, and upon his return to this city submitted to an interview, in which he says: "1 have looked the ground over very carefully and 1 am more than ever pleased with the prospect. the next house cannot fail to be Democratic by a handsome ma jority, ami for two yours, at least, the country will bo secure from such in ilictions as have boon conceived ami curried out by a Republican majority iu the Fifty first Congress.

Mrs. Kmily Branson is a heroine. She saved the lives of .'ton passengers on the White Mountain express train yesterday afternoon. Hardly had the train passed the station at North Wakefield, N.

ANALYSIS ^OF AN ABOMIN The Korre till I ami lVlmt It Mmm? Would I?o. We print elsewhere a careful mary of the Federal election bill w1hH0S? has passed the United State of Representatives and is now ing in the Senate. The object furnish the The Sun's readers clear and succinct exposition ofl^HRSf features, with an explan ition oflHHl practical effect of the provi^HHK which are more obviously desigi^HH^^S sec lire to the Republican part^BBB practically solid negro vote of the South. It must be i*iteut to every I Ol W* IlLtj'V l'lMlillll.r |||,| Sintl'u uuainnuin ... - ?/? ? < niv ? /i?w r> nj i?\/|#oin of the bill that uo other object in sought %> b^ attained and that the iiuiehinery for thin* purpose has been -"ii?fnllli ff^rrji inir?* *r ?**" ' 1 " is necessarily complicated and there is evidence throughout the measure of an anxious desire outhe part of its fminers to leave no loophole by means of which its purjiosc might l>e frustrated. ltrictly stated, the effect of the bill i is to put the control of the elections for members of the House of liepreseutatives into the hands of Federal supervisors, supported by au army of deputy marshals, who may be reinforced by nny number of assistant | marshals, summoned under guise of a ' (H)sse comitatus. and also, if the | President should so order, by United State troops or by militia organizations, which might include armed j negro.'H. The supervisors overlook I the registrationund have the right to 1 decide what names shall he placed on j the list. They are also empowered to make a innisc^to-humat; ostensibly to d<>9fct | f c e r i i { f>ait|PJBPl(i((?<Tioii)Tay tiieyftVus^^^ rj see tliat the ballot box is marked and *' located in a certain way, must ussist i the local officers to eOunt the vote, and must make their own returns, j which form the basis on which the result is finally determined by the federal returning board, from wh)se decision there may be an appeal to the United States Circuit Court, which is to settle all contests. If j there is delay by the local election , officers in opening the polls, the MU|x*i visors may hold the election themselves. Should there be more Yo'cH in the ballot box than the mini. hrr of prison* who have voted, the 1 election must be determined by n i s|?ecu s of lottery?the excess of votes being drawn by blindfolded persons iind deducted from the total number ' of votes east for the candidates. A man's seat in Congress might depend upon mere chance or U|K>ii trickery in "working" the lottery scheme. A long list of offences under the law are specified and heavy penalties in fines and imprisonment are provided. State laws inconsistent with the provisions of the bill are annulled aud State sovereignty is trampled upon in all directions, i A pretense of fairness is furnished in the provision for enforcing tha law 1 wherever application is made under ' eertaia sja'citied conditions, but m view of the fact that its declared object is to secure "a free ballot uud a 1 fail count" at the South, which would mean, of course, the counting of the negroes en masse for the Republican candidates, this apparently general applicability of the law is seen to be a mere sham. Good core, of course. Would 1)0 taken to enforce it only where its enforcement would do the party good, and the real field of its operation* would be the Southern States. In that section the result could hardly fail to be disastrous. Knee conflicts at almost every polling place would he almost inevitable uul a condition of unrest and excitement would be created which might prove fatal to the industrial progress of the &J il ? 1? 1 -- ? 1 nouin, so nausea m recent years. Sectional prejudice would be greatly embittered and the whole country would feel the disturbing effect of a law which would at once array the two races and the two great sections against each other. Business men fully realise this and the most effective opposition to the bill is coming from that quarter. The sincere friends of the negro also recognize the fact that no legislation more injurious to Ins best interests could well Im* devised, and Republican leaders All oter the South are protesting against it most earnestly as being a certain means of wiping out the white Hclnihlican vote in that section. I It is |m>ssil >le tlnit those formidable sources of opposition will prove effectual in tin* Senate, but the necessities of the clique of lu^h tariff interests which now controls both houses of Congress are so great that it is not at all unlikely that the voice of reason and iMitriotisin will be stifled in the mad rush to reach, if possible, the point of absolute control and dictation of the political destinies of the country.?
