Yesterday morning Mr. Scammon pub lished an election canard, - purporting to be. on exposure of a defalcation in', the Penitentiary of Northern Indiana to the amount of $40,000. Mr. G. Black, of Val paraiso, one of the Directors of the pris on, informs ns that the story is a fabrica tion. A clerk of the Penitentiary is away on leave, and it is only assumed that he |s a defaulter for a few hundred dollars. The Northern Penitentiary 6£ Indiana was a constant charge to the State until, - some-yean ago, the Ring was expelled, and it was made a self-sustaining inatica tio«. The Legislature has not made on appropriation for the prison for four years; it has been so well and go honestly managed that it has paid its own way, and enlarged the buildings ont of its own earnings. The possibil ity of a defalcation ,by any person is limited to the means on hand, .which at this time do not exceed $3,000, be ing tie surplus earnings of the prison. Shonid it result that any portion of this small sum has been lost, the State is amply secured, not only by the bonds of wealthy citizens of Indiana, bat by the bonds of citizens of Chicago. The story was published on the eve of the election, and circulated gratuitously by Mr. Scam mon, in the hope of influencing votes in Indiana. It was thought that it conld not be exposed; bat the truth of the matter has been made known in all parts of the State. CLAVTON'g BATBAPT. Tha present Constitution of Arkansas, which disfranchises thousands of her oiticens, -was drawn up by a packed Con vention of carpet-baggers, and was nom inally submitted to the popular.vote. In every precinct, the polling-booth had two windows. At one, all votes for—at the other, all votea'against—ratification, were received. This was a sure way to “spot” the “disaffected.” Terrorism carried the | day. The Constitution was ratified. But this was not the only fraud. Only those who voted for the Constitution were suf fered to participate in the election of State officers. The carpet-bag ticket, headed by Powell Clayton, was, of course, triumphant. The first Legislature chosen thereafter enacted the present Registra tion law, which, with the disfranchising clause of the Constitution, has made an Arkansas election either a farce or a trag edy. Section 9 of this law gives every Registrar (appointed by the Governor) the power to refuse to enroll any voter's name. Section 10 enables him •to enroll the name of any voter, although disqualified, who will, in his judgment, be fit to vote before the time of election. It does not direct Mm to do so. It merely allows him to do so, if be wishes. Section 11 provides that no person who took, during the war, the bath of allegi ance, .shall be registered, noless be “openly advocated or voted for the recon struction measures of Congress, or voted or the Constitution ” at the election of ISOS. Section 13 allows the Registrars of every county to meet to revise the lists of teat county. Sitting as a Board, of Revision, they can add or reject any names whatever. The only appeal is to the Su preme Court, which may reach such cases in a couple of years. This is the ma chinery of wrong. This is the way the machinery worked: The census of 1870 showed that there were in Arkansas about 102,000 males over the age of 21 years. The Secretary of State reported, officially, thatß7,ooo persons applied to be registered. The other 15,000 were those excluded by the • State Constitution. The Registrars refused 31,009 applications, so that, oat of 103,000 men who ought, by every principle of jus tice and expediency, to have been allowed to vote, 96,000 appeared, at the polls and 4"ono were disfranchised, TM is the way the machinery^'-works now: The men who are registering voters, reject all :* p Roams who, dariofe the war, belonged to any ‘*indeD»Hdent military command”; who 44 voluntarily fumishrd" supplies, Ms, or ammunition to the Confederacy”; who ordinance of secession; who held 44 any civil office before the war and who voted , 4 * against the rati fication of the present Constitution.” We have quoted from a list of -questions put. to applicants, fninished by a United Stares Supervisor of Election. He writes to the Nt**» York Ti'ibuve that, in his precinct/ in Union County, 19 out of G7 whites were! refused registration; and that, in the adjoining precinct, 51 put of 123 whites were refused. Who is responsible for this tyranny ?; Fiiht, Powell Clayton, who went into’ Arkansas politics honest and poor, and is now, as Mrs. Cady Stanton said, a year' ngo, of Grant, 44 rich and infamous.” He. has been the head and front of the Ring,! oujiug votes, buylmr Legislators, forcing! the passage of iniquitous laws, fattening; by jobbery in fraudulent bonds, and ap pointing officers, from State Constables to Judges; from his followers; Second,* the Administration, which has upheld the car pet-baggers by every-means in its power.- It. gave Powell Clayton control of ijllthe 1 IfVdtTal offices in Arkansas, which he ; um (1,118 sworn testimony shows, to pay! for the votes that made him Senator. Af ter the infamous election of 1870, when four of Clayton’* creatures were indicted by a United States Grand. Jury for re turning 3,000 vott-s from Chicot County, whtre.there were but 1,400 votes regis-; ured. President Grant, asked to do so by : »he four-criminals,removed United States Marshal and ‘ Attorney ’Catterson and Whipple, and put ln # [ their places; two of Clayton’s men, Mills and Harring ton, —one of whom had been convicted,) In » United States Court, of ballot-box' . etuffing. They let tHeir fell 6 w-cximlnals. go scot -free. This deliberate packing ofi United States Courts took away the last* bope of the people. Clayton has since' hem supreme. Again, the Arkansas Leg-; ie-latore laid before the Senate proof of' Cla> ton’s dishonesty. Administration! Senators at first opposed investigation; and, finally, put it off so late that no wit-: . cesses could be summoned and no-teati-' roony given before the adjournment of jCongrees. Finally, the now using the money it has wrung from poor cleiks to fioo'd Arkansas with cam*! paign documents. Wendell Phillips’, and, Secretary* Boutwell’s* speeches 1 are* sent there, exhorting the negroes to arm, or-j ganizp, and prepare to fight; Printed lies are circulated by the* thousand, making scan dalous charges against Liberals and the Liberal party, in short, by circulate ing documents, <by spending money, by promising offices, the Administration-is bending every nerve to perpetuate, in Ar kansas, the policy of Proscription and Hate. ' 4LBAGE ABD hOBB&m. Tbe exodus of Alsatians from their na live. country lea spectacle- which cannot bo regarded withonfa feeling of profound bj mpathy for these unhappy people. The provinces daring tho war suffered all that the other French. province's did, and con tributed their quota of men and money; ond nqw comes the additional hardship, consequent .upon*the ceding of Alsace and Lsirraino to Germany. ol either aban doning thfeir nationality as' Frenchmen, or removing from the provinces alto gether.. . The - circular .issued, by the Germans ordered that, all . per- sons domiciled', Sr"the ceded prov inces mnstnot'only have registered them selves as Frenchmen, bat mast have ac tually transferred their domicile toFrance, ’ by tfio'lsj of October, or they would be re garded as Germans, and' become liable to the German law 'in its whole extend in- eluding the obligation to do military ser vice. The Qermanshave not spared the feelings of the people of these provinces in the least, nor mitigated their severity by _ applying the laws gradually. On the other band, they irave en forced them at, once, and. the. enrolment for the army is already.' in operation among those who have not left. the provinces. Those yonng men who can show that theyserved in the French army, or Garde Mobile, before December, 1870, are exempt from the German service,. even in time of war ; but ail others mnst serve. The foreign despatches have already intimated that thousands are leav ing. Some of them will go to France, and some to Canada and the United States. The fact is a hard one, which has been imposed by necessity. The prov inces have been ceded to Germany, and the German authorities at Berlin prd fess to believe tbat another war mast, come between Germany and France ; con sequently they are determined-to have-, nothing French in Alsace or Lorraine which will embarrass them at such a time. That the Germans havothrrright to exer cise their authority ia.cleari hut the harsh and peremptory manner .in which it has been exercised willenlist the sympathies of ‘ the whole world - for these fugitive- 1 Alsatians, -who have abandoned home and friends, and severed the ties which connect them with their native soil, rather than consent to be unwilling instruments of the Ger man power. Their fate is a hard one; and, while all have to acknowledge the fact that Alsace and Lorraine are parts of Germany, still, as in the caseiof Poland, these wandering, homeless people will always have the sympathy of the world. The recent dreadful accident on the London & Edinburg Bailroad, 'which was reported by telegraph, haa been fol lowed by the prompt arrest of the station master who contributed, by his careless ness, to cause the accident. In this coun try, we raise a terrible clamor over rail road accidents, The* newspaper press discusses them. The people discuss them. Long and tiresome investigations are had, and votes of censure are passed. The press, the people, and the Bailroad Com pany fix upon the gnilty party, and there it ends. The public excitement dies away and is quiet until the next accident, when the same clamor is raised again, and wo jgb through the same farce of investigation, without any practical result. In England they do these things better. They clamor and they investigate; best of all, they ar rest and pnnish. This sort of discipline operates to reduce the number of acci dents. If a railway official feels that he will be arrested and tried for murder in case an accident happens through his carelessness or negligence, he will be very likely to heep his eyes open and have all his senses on the alert. On American roads, as no special responsibility attaches to officials, they have no special reason to _ keep awake or exercise caution. The prompt and severe punishment of one condnstqror station-master who is gnilty of railroad murder would have a magical effect up on the rest. That much-ta-be-desired event, however, seems along way off. Prince George Nicholas Galitsin, the cele brated Bussian musical composer, died at St. Petersburg on the Uth nit. He will be remembered in this country as having been sent by the Bussian Imperial family to New York, to welcome the Grand Duke Alexis on bis arrival with the music of bis native land. The Prince was descended from one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Bus s's- His musical talent made itself appar ent at a very early age, and he gave himself to the study of composition with snoh ardor that he resolved, to sacrifice bis princely privileges, which interfered wlthkis studies. He did so, and became the representative musician of Russia.? Daring* bis stay in New York, he gave Russian music, in all its forms, at a series of concerts, as well as many of bis own compositions, which wore exceedingly popular. * One oft he moifrdisre pnt able of the man? expedientsresoi+ted to by desperate politi cians is that of getting adventitious otronla lion for oertain ephemeral newspaper*, b* abuse of the postal laws. It is some'hlng new,—at least bes never been porpetrateo nniil this campaign. It began with the New York limes. That paper, by a coercive; demand upon tbe Postmasters of tbaoonotry obtained from them lists of tbe names of subscribers of the New York Tribune, and immediately sent to those persons during the campaign copies of the New Y.<rk TXaut free of charge,—the paper being paid for ont et the money extorted from the office holders. Having thus added the cironla 'ion of the Tribune to Us own,* it has beet boasting ever since of its immense cironla lion. This example baa been followed by various trumpery newspapers in other places. Even the St. Paul Pres*, edited by a Postmaster, has compelled the Postmasters in every part of Minnesota to famish it with a of r.h>* pexsons taking Greeley papers at their offi oes; and then has supplied them with tbe Pies* free of charge, getting paid for it ont of the pnbllo money. The' Press has, o‘ course, been boasting of its “immense circu lation,” inppreating the* fact that Its paper was distributed free, to the robbery of thr* postal revenue, and to the robbery of th .public fends used to pay for.the papers. The same thing has been done, of course, to other cities. Whenever tbe pabio hear 01 newspapers adding thousands of sabsoriben to their lists, without any special cause, they will, of course, understand that the .“inofease ” is just like that of the New York Tutus, which has been sent free bf cost'to the Tribune subscribers, and will be sent to the end of the campaign; then' there will be a shrinkage and a collapse, and the mere partisan sheets will resume their petty -proportions, and continue to depend upon the .droppings from the official platter. It is hardly.necessary ,to say that each time a-Postmaster famishes such vio ’ .laics the law; but violation of law by! is now an authorized practice in the! Civil Service,'which is applauded and re warded, instead of being condemned and punished. The Nation of last Thursday has a review; of what seems to be a remarkable book.. It is a treatise on -the. law. of inheritance in Fiance, by U, Claudio Gannet. Aa.the 'reader may know, a French property-holder can dispose of only a portion of his posses- Hons. never exceeding half, and most divide the rest among his children inequal narta 'and in lini. This, of oonrse, insures very emaU' farms' and very many peasant pro prietors, John Stuart Mill, in his " Ele ments of Political Economy,” praises this system highly, - saying that it promotes economy, self-restraint, high cultivation, and personal independence. Bat Mr. Gannet says that the system has made many farms too small for profitable cultivation (some of them are only SO yards long by “Jonr or five plow-lengths” in width); that the land is therefore often abandoned, and the proprietor joins the "Beds” of the great cities; that the people who remain are impoverished, discontented, and rips for revolt (the law of equal partition sent into efieot in 1803, alnoe when disturbances have been constant): that the family tie ia weakened, because toe children are independent of the father, who cannot prevent their getting hia property at hie death (this ia surely a low view to take of the nature of the tie of relation ship) ; and that the law makes sfertltfo eys Imatiyue a necessity. Mill and Gannet seem to be utterly opposed. The latter ia writing -.f his own country, and seems, therefore, to be the more reliable. Bis-eesay shows, for the thousandth time, the evil effects ot multiplying mala jpToldbUa. There la this, however, to be said against this argument; He makes siirtti/a aystemaiique the crowning tvil of the system; Mill considers it among ;he chief benefits. Different views of the Malthusian doctrine may be the Ganges 01~ the different view s of the law of inheritance. By the hill that Creswell smuggled through Congress in the closing hours of rhe last session, he has unlimited power to make fraudulent contracts. It seems, by the revelations concerning the Alabama mail-service printed in onr Washington oespatobes ol yesterday, that Cbotpenniog’t triend made such contracts before he was .nthorized, by a careless Congress,.to do so. Creswell advertised for bids for carrying the mall in Marshall County, Alabama. Mr. A. Captain otiered to carry it, on his steam heat line, free; Judge Lusk proposed ho do it for $10,000; and a Mr.-Hiaes, Senator Spen cer's protege, wished $lB 000. Hines offered bosk SI,OOO to withdraw his bid. Lnsk de clined. Then Spencer interviewed Creswell. and Hines got the job. Once a week, a pony ambles into the conntry.lwith mail bags slnng across its back. For fifty-two days’ service of one pony andone boy, Mr, Bines, gets SIB,OOO, There must be a sur plus for division which would delight Kem ble himself. The exposure of this fraud is -npported by . affidavits, Mr. Creswell should get himself whitewashed at onoe. The days of grace for rognery and incom petence are drawing to a close. A treatise on medicine, published in the sixteenth century, treats at some length of the alleged antipathy existing between cer tain vegetables. It says that the eak and olive hate each other so earnestly that one or both will die when they'are planted near together; and that the same is true of the cabbage and the vine. “ And thus,” proceeds the anther, "it is no marvel that the - cabbage is very useful to sober topeie, and that Ithe Ger mans eat it commonly in a compost to safe guard themselves from their wine." The passage contains hints for both classes of the enemies of drunkenness. The friends of temperance can learn from it to encourage a popular taste for eanerkrant; and the friends of abstinence will be inspired to ‘sow tares among wheat," or wheat among tares, by scattering the enrrap tiiions cabbage-seed in onr vineyards, and so killing the vines and cutting off the wine supply, to the great advantage ol the dealers in whiskey. The Mikado, haring kindly provided his ►objects with a new religion, intends to sup plement that good deed by giving them a new-language. The Japanese tongue seems • o he too cumbrous for a progressive people. The English and German are offered as sub stitutes. The latter is a great favorite on account of its regularity and simplicity, but the former is likely to be ohosen as the lit erary speech of the Empire. It will, how ever, receive, in that event, an important modification. Phonetic spelling will bo In trodnoed, and the verb conjugations will be made regular. This would be a curious in stance of evolution in language. Perhaps the universal speech of the future will'be what Bon, C. M. Clay styled, in an official despatch, the “ American language,” as re vised and refined by the philosophers of Ytddo. Senator Wilson denies that he ever made certain scurrilous speeches that have been attributed to him. He does not. however, deny,—and ■he cannot, —that Mr, Frank W. Bird was correct in saying that he (Wilson) was one of a Know-Nothing Committee that devised a new oath for that party. In which oath foreign-bom citizens were called "lions" and "bears,” and KomanCatho lics, foreign and native-born, "snakes,” with "slimy tracks and pestilential breath.” The Golden Agt has discovered that Pope, in penning his scathing question about Lord Hervey: “Who breaks a butterfly upon the wheel I” plagiarized from Fuller’s re tort upon petty scandals i " What madness were it to plant a piece of ordnance to heat down an aspen-leaf!” Mr. "Irenosna” Prime has published a history of the Fnlton-street prayer-meeting, under the title: “Fifteen Yearn of Prayer.” It is a curious study of credulity. The fol lowing statement is a fair index to its con tents : Dr. Prime once went into a count ing-room and met the head of the firm, who said: “ ‘ Let us kneel and ask God to help me through, for, without His help, I shall be THE CHICAGO TRIBUTE: * bankrupt before tbe setting of tbe etm. ? | Sow© knelt and preyed That.man weal h through the pressure, and did not hsoomo { bank] opt.” This belief in the possibility ' •taking the Deity a partner.

Kllritfc an« DeUfamalAt* ro the Editor or The umeago Tribunal Bie: pur attention has been called to a' report upon the sanitary condition of Bridge port, purporting to be addressed to ns, which is so unfair that we feel called upon to pub*- liah some facte in reference to it: . We have been indicted in reference to the management of our slaughtering establish-' merits. Oar counsel instructed* ns to •ndeavor to conduct our establishments m uch a manner as to give no offence, and no J •bubo of oomp’aiut: and, for this purpose, we employed Messrs. Hirsoh aod D*lafou fain to examine onr establishments, and. make such suggestions as, in their judg ments, would improve them. A** soon as these pentemen entered upon heir duties, we discovered a disposition to raonoe the Board of Health. This induced ua to say to them that our object, was not to attack anybody, but e mply to improve our establishments, and keep tbem within the requtrments of law. It wa» also sogßested that we should have he atmosphere of our establishments ana lyzed and we agreed that the chemists abonld make such analysis and a written report in reference to it. Our attorney also ashed vs to locate the various offensive places in Bridgeport, as, for instance, the Q«-aly Slough, and the various ditches, drains, or other places, simply that a map fbnwjng such location might be mode. About the time we supposed this would be cone. Professor Hireoh came with hia re* port. Instead of its being an analysis of the atmosphere, or suggestions how we could improve our establishment*. it was a gener al raid on the Board or Health, and a med dlesome interference with our neighbors’, business. The two gentlemen spent in our employ, about three hours on two different half-days, and when they then report, they demanded s£lo. We declined to pay this, because we only ordered a report upon toe analysis of the atmosphere, and the manner in which we oonld improve. .That.we did not get. We never ordered any report upon the condition of our establishments, or our neighbors ’ That we refused to pay for. Upon refusal to pay the $240 we were threatened with the publication of the report. We made ne obifotionto paying the gentlemen a reason able compensation. We offered them $l5O, and upon refusal proposed to refer the ques tion to Dr. Mahler. We have never bad any negotiation with the Board of Health in reference to our cases, either directly or indirectly, of any character whatsoever.. Instead of having *ry favors from them, they have had their officers constantly after us, and we have been prosecuted and persecuted all summer. As late as last Saturday, at their instance, as we believe, we were fin i d SIOO each. James Turner, SnoSNEMAN & Co. Totlie Xdltcr olThe Chicago Tribune* Sir : My attention has been called to a so called report made by Mr, Delafontaine and °ne Hinoh, calling himself a chemist, re flecting upon the Board of Health, and foil of falsehoods about our establishment. Hirsohwas employed by Wahl Bros., a number of . years ago, and discharged for worthlessness and incompetenoy. Ac a later period, his father was also employed by them, and, after causing them a loss of a thousand dollars or more, was also dis missed. We therefore suppose he owes ns a good-will. Several weeks ago, these gentlemen visited out factory, and were courteously admitted, we not suspecting-their purposes. Shortly after, in a conversation had with Hirsob, the writer hereof learned, to his surprise, that tbe object of the visit was to get np the rto-caliedreporf. In that Interview, as plainly men ever talk upon snob a subject, Hirsch intimated that it depended on me, and my action toward him, whether that portion about ns should be published or not. I understood that I could suppress that part of the report by paying him. and, if not, theiewasoangerof itspnblioation, Oneoftbe arguments used by him to have me’*««” the matter in his ligbtwas, that they wereyonog and unknown chemirts.and that their report would bring their names prominently be fore the public, and would oe a good adver tisement for themselves; he was, however, wiUlngtoleavenaont.if I made It for his interest to do so. He then spoke of a secret cf bis invention, to do away with all odor In slaughter houses, and urged its purchase by me. Not being in the habit of allowing my self to be blackmailed, I declined to consid er or understand any of his propositions. In the same conversation, when I re proached him for the petfidiousuess of their having abused onr courtesy in permitting >hem to visit onr place, for the purpose of injuring ns, he replied, that his object was not to much to attack ns, or even any of the slaughter-houses, as it was to undermine tbe Board of Health, and par ticularly Dr. Ranch. . Having thus abown the animus aud-the objects of these gentlemen, 1 think it un necessary to refute their statement. I con tent myself to say that we run nothing into the river except twelve hundred thousand gallons of water daily from onr two artesian wells, thereby very materially improving it.
