One of the wit Iness.s it,. ilied thata package of twentl -flive Metalfe bhallot was Ceunted twice, mal that when a DIleputy United States Marshal called attern tion to It, he was told to shut his mouth. F'our of the deputy marshals testified that thle were Democrats, and weor appointed on e',llitlon that they would voto for the Ite Iublican candidato for Congress of their dis riht. Another of the marshals testifled that he received instructions from Capt. O'Connot to keep Dlemocrats from voting by arresting them. The total number of dput.y mnrshals appointed for the ostensible purlpse of pro venting fraiuullunt voting was 1)028, two-thirds of whtl were assigned to the Third Congres sioual 1)strict, and the remaining third to tih First and S,%eond Distriots.

When I)eputy Mlarsllal liarnard, the chief of the election day depu ties., iresent.d his bili to Attorney-(eneral Taft, the latter reumarled that "the bill was full iof sugar."

Whether Mr. Frost gets his seat or not, the result of the eontest can not prore otherwise than bentlclnal to the I)emiocratic party of this city. The Third Congressional District is couno0dlcx by Rhulll~ licans to be a Democratle district, and it has had a Democratio Bepresentative in C+ongress for several terms, the present term of course excepted. Seven hull *dred well paid oflloors, appointed for the ex pregss purpose of defeating a Democratic can didate, are big odds to contend against in a rCongressional election; but the Democratic party of St. Louis will be united next fall, and thiler is very little deblt of the result. Two years ago tihe party wa. divided throughout the city on the claims of the rival Democratic candidates in the Second District, the one Sparee~nttel for five or six terms In succession by Ilon.

Mr. Antoine Giraud. the agent for the South ern States. having sent us a box of this nectar to sample. It is a light wine, not too fruity, as California wines generally are, but pure of taste and full of the delicious aroma that comes from the grape. It is full of life, and sparkles in the glass with as rmuch vivacity and efferves cence as Krug or Roederer. The grape from which it, is pressed is evidently new and vill improve as it is further cultivated, but it gR es to the wine which it fathers a delicious perfume. vWhich will before long. if we are a judge, riv 'l the bouquet of the best effervescent wines from the sunny slopes of Champagne.
