[For the New National Era.]
FALL..
The autumn leaves have fallen, and the sighs
Of winter echo through the branches drear;
The minstrels gay, whose carols witched the
ear,
Have sought asylum 'neath refulgent skies,
Where streams e'er furl, and Flora never dies ;
But here her spirit's fled, and o'er her bier
A sombre sky extils the frosty tear;
All nature mourns ; man views with listless eyea.
But know, 0 man ! this aspect desolate?
Those spectral trees?the bleak wind's solemn
dirge
0'<?r Flora's drear remains presage thv fate ;
Each eutumn brings thee nearer Ue&th's dark
verge;
Thon, too, must fall; but, from a lifeless state.
Thou may'st, like her, in glorious spring emerge.
JOSKPHUS.
Tbe Campaign.
It is only throe months since tbe campaign
ncrainst Tammany b'gan, and already we have
won a glorious victory. T at the City Govern
ment was controlled by a clique of rogues and
peculators, that tie taxes were misappropriated,
and th,e suffrage tampered with, everybody
knew long ago. It was plain enough,
too. that by one means or another the public
money fund its way into the pockets of Tweed
and Connolly. Still, there was no absolute
proof of these frauds until last July, when Jas
O'Brien, who had quarreled with the King
over a claim of three or four hundred tLo'jsand
dollars which Mr. Tweed refused to allow,
caused the publication of a series of startling
transcripts froin the Controller's books. It is
not enough to say that the disclosure justified
our worst suspicions. Prepared as we were for
almost any evidence of rascality, the truth,
when it confronted us in black and white, was
actually appalling. There was the record of
millions paid away for work that never was done,
supplies that never were furnished, chairs apd
carpets that never were seen in any of the city
ar county offices. There were warrants drawD
in favor of men who had no existence, and
indorsed to the order of particular friends and
instruments of Wilham M. Tweed. There were
proofs of the most flarirg forgery as well as of
wholesale robbery. The whole country was
aroused. Europe rang with the scaudal. The
King seemed stunned ; they made no defeuse ;
they offered no explanation; they pretended
to believe that the excitement would expend
it bp] f in npumifiwr denunciation, and "this
thine would over.' Then came a general demand
for publication of the Controller's accounls.
Mr. Connolly put us off. Mayor Ilall
inveuted excuse. The prediction made by us
from the first was fulfilled ; the accounts never
were published, and while the King retain
control of thtra they never will be.
The excitement, however, did not expend
itself in angry denunciation. The temper of
the people grew hotter and hotter, and it grew
more resolute at the same time. It found adequate
expression at *last in the great Coop>er
Institute meeting on tho 4th of September,
and then for the first time the Ktng seemed to
comprehend their danger. They found the
respectable Democrats, whom they had supplied
for years with bogus ballots and repeaters,
were turning against them. No man who
valued his character had a word to say in their
defense. Even the World was compelled to
attack them, and the Herald, on the 5th of
September, unexpectedly discovered that things
were going wrong at the City Ilall. The Ring
tried to make delay by the appointment of an
investigating committee, from which they care
fully withheld all facilities for conducting an
investigation ; hut it was of uo avail. Seventy
good citizens, unpointed at the September
meetffig, took the business in hand, raised
money, em ploy etl eminent counsel, and charged
themselves, first, with further ditcovery of the
character and extent of the frauds; secondly,

with the organization of a nou political re
form movement to affect the November election.
The last of these purposes has lieen carrid out.
Now we have to pu*b ahead with the others.
As soon as' the committee got to work, the
Ring began to break up. The first movement
was the Foley injunction, and that was the
Bignal for the defection of^Tadge Barnard.
Mr. Sweeny had already virtually retired. The
theft of the vouchers was followed by Tweed's
treacherous abandonment of Connolly, and the
Controller threw himself at the feet of the
committee and begged for mercy. Hmco then
it has been every rogue for himself aud the
devil take the hindmost The Democratic
Governor has been driven to interfere and authorise
the employment of Charles O'Conor to
look after the interests of the tax payers; and
though Tammany succeeded in forcing itself
up< n the Rochester Convention and insuring
the defeat 6f the State ticket by dictating the
nominees, it haR >*en evident for the last three
weeks that the Democracy will not stand between
Tweed and justice. The victory of Tuesday
completed the rout of the swindlers, and
left them for the present utterly helpless.
But the Ring, though broken, may be formed
again, aud, therefore, it is of the utmost importance
that we should persevere in the effort,
so well begun by the committee, to sift the
frauds thoroughly, and send the thieves to
jail. Mr. Tilden's examination of the books
of the Broadway Bank was a fortunate device;
but the discovery ot evidence directly impli
eating Tweed in the appropriation of public
funds will be of little use if the only result
is to be a civil suit to recover the money, and
the farce of a constructive arrest by the gentlemanly
sheriff. It is doubtful whether any
of the stolen millions c m be recovered ; but it

B^ct to the Stale prison, and, if we reach that
fortunate consummation of our wishes, we
really cara very little what becomes of the
{ilundor. Mr. Oakey Hall has been arrested
or bin share in the wrongful expenditures;
bat be made a pretty exhibition of horsemanship,
and his grand jury refused to indict him,
his district attorney having neglected to lay
the necersary evidence l>efore thorn. Are w?
to stop here? There is no proof that Muyoi
Hall Stole inonev himself?that is to say, then
is no proof whic^i the public knows of?but hi
let others steal it, and ho must be held respon
Bible for that. Mr. Tom Fields, whom the in
corruptible Democrats of the upper wards hav<
chosen to represent them in the legislature ir
preference to lioratio Seymour, is ac:u*ed o
gigantic peculations ; he uiu?l be sent to keef
company with Mr. Tweed, tjarvey and Iuger

and every scrap ot ev.deuce which the inosl

We repeat that our victory will not bo complete
until we witness the great moral spcctucle
of Tweed aua his accomplices in the striped
uniform of Sing Sing. That is the way to prevent
the formation of a new King about as bad
as the old one?N. Y. Tribune.

The California Indians.
Good Effect* of Klnd*?M, KdaeRtton, Md
Christ Ion Influence?Wisdom of the Pros*
Bt Humono Indian Policy Demonstrated.
Hoopa Vallet India* Rkskrvatioh, Kla
math County, Cal., October 19.?Perhaps a
few words from this distant locality regarding
the working of the President's Indian Policy
may be interesttng. This reservation is in the
northern part of California, and was established
in 1864. The Indians at that time, 700 in
number, inhabited this and snrroonding counties,
aftd were the dread and terror of the
whites. This is ? beautiful valley, about five
mi!-S long, and surrounded by lofty mountains,
rough and precipitous in tho extreme. The
Trinity river rnns through the entire length
of the valley. Last Winter the President gave
the several agencies of the California Indians
to persons nominated by the Conference of the
Methodist Church. The Rev. D. Ii. Loury
was commissioned agent for this reservation,
and entered upon his duties in March, bring
ing witb Kim six Christian -families as employees.
When they came here they anticipated
m<>re or leas difficulty iu managing the
Indians ; and what else COiild thov Wpiot?
Seven years since, these were at war with tha
whites, and four years ago they killed their
agent, Mr. Stockton. Ever since its establishment,
the reservation has been "run" by unprincipled
and debauched white men, with
squaws for their mistresses; numerous half
breed children, as white as their fathers, attest
the truth of what I say. The minds of the
Indians were poisoned against the whites, and
some of the most prominent ones threatened to
leave, saying: "New agent no good man ;
white man tell us so." Gen. Grant's new
agents tried in vain for some time to indues
the Indiaus to come to the school they established,
and to attend the religious services ;
but they had empty houses and vacant seats for
their pains; the Indians saying they wanted to
"catch"' them?"white mau tell them so."
The agents did all they could to counteract
these evil influences, and finally succeeded.
They have harvested 500 acres of hay and grain
without a single Indian's refusing to work, and
have never had to punish one for disobedience.
They have established a school, and numbers
of children who had no idea of the alphabet are
now learning to write, and can readily read
words of five or six letters. A large Sunday
school is also in successful operation. An
organ U9cd in both day aud Sunday-schools delights
the pupils; and they readily follow their
teacher in singing simple school melodies;
they can be heard humming these over at any
hour of the day. We teach them the elements
of Christianity, and every Sabbath tell them
some Bible story which interests them. We
t- 1 lil- I - P 1 .1 i. 11_ xl
nave nine nope 01 Denemung, materially, tue
old Indians; but all have confidence in being
able to civilize and Christianize the rising generation,
provided the President's policy is car
ried out to its full extent. It will take time,
but it is possible and practicable. There aro
now six Christian families on the reservation,
and their influence and example oannot fail of
proving salutary. Indeed, we already see a
decided improvement in their dress and manners.
Oar hands have been full since the day of
our arrival. There were few conveniences for
so many families, as all the employees whom
we succeeded, save two, lived with squaws, in
old tuinble-down houses. We all huddled together
for the first two weeks in the agent's
house; but wo are now all comfortably housed.
We have erected six new buildings, and are
now engaged in building a saw-mill capable of
sawing 10,000 feet of lumber per day, and hope
the coming year to furnish many ludians lum
ber with w&ich they may build comfortable
dwellings for themselves.
The Late General Robert AuderMOlla
The Savannah Rrpublican has an obituary
notice of the late General Anderson, in the
course of which the following personal reminiscences
of the evacuation of Fort Suiuter
arc given:
The writer of this, by invitation of Captain
iiartsteue, who ha<l oowmand of the evacuation
ceremonies at Sumter on that interesting
occasion, a jubilee on water never before wit
nessed in this country. We came out of the
fort with its commander, and subsequently, in
the pilot-house of the steamer General Clinch,
to which he and bis command were first traus1
ferred, had a long uud pleasant interview with
the vanquished soldier. Ho waiTfuost unhappy
1 about the differences that had sprung up be
tween the Government and his native South.
His situation as a Southern man had been
most trying, but he considered the highest
obligation upon him was to do his duty as a
soldier without reference to his feelings. Undeclared
to us that no circumstanoe could have
induced him to fire upon his fellow country
men except in defence. The first shot came
from them, and was directed at the fiug which
he was put there to protect; hence no alterua
tive was left him. We inquired what would
be bis policy when he reached Washington ;
be replied that all his labors should be on the
side of peace. In any event, he had no heart,
lie said, for war upon his own countrymen, and
he never did again enter the field.
We inquired of Major Anderson why ho
abandoned Fort Moultrie after his positive en1
gage merit with a committee of South Caro1
linians not to leave it? His reply was, that
mutual obligations were entered into?he to
remain aDd the Carolinians not to disturb biui
while in posession of the fort. He believed
' those who gave the assurance acted in good
faith, but they could not control others. He
left Fort Moultrie under reliable information

1 by the more impulsive portion of the population
to attack (he fort in the rear, lie had
1 unquestionably evidence that such an expedi;
tiou was on foot, and believing that the works
' was not defensible, he evacuated it and trans>
I'erred his garrison to Fort Sumter.
And just here it may not be uninteresting g

Late in the evening, after the Isabel
5 had left for the bar with Major Aadersou and
r his garrison, the steamer General Clinch, with
* a large and enthusiastic crowd on board, turned
8 her prow toward the city. The capture of the
' fort and garrisotr was ou every tougue, and the
wildest rejoicing pervaded the vessel, many
8 believing the war at an end and Southern in1
dependence accomplished. On deck there was
1 a pile of cutvon bales, aud when Hearing the
' wharf we discerned Captaiu Hartstene re
' dining on the top of them, evidently musing
' and apparently taking no part in the general
' enthusiasm. Passing by, we addressed him
' and inquired if he felt uuwell under the fatigues

A Word for Skmator Harlan.?The results

- with much satisfaction, with the exception of the
shade of doubt in Iowa as to the fate of Mr.
i llarlan, who is regarded as one of the very
- ablest of the Senators, aud whose eminent
; championship of the Administration has made
i him of so much consequence to the party of
the country as to render his defeat little snort
of a public calamity In ability he is the uni
questioned superior of either of bis competitors,
though both are able men, and in character
i he is the peer of any Senator. He is never
I mixed up with speculations and contracts, and,
I like H<*nry Wilson, never looks with covetous
eyes upon the public moneybox. His ex per ii
ence as a Cabinet Minister has given him a
- knowledge of the public service which no mere
t Congressional service could possibly confer,
; and it is one of the marvels of the day that

The Clly of Jonnpnr Destroyed?I'pward or

rffrnm ths Piftnt'cp of Ilidia. 1
We regret to record a sudden aud great dis- ?
aster at Jounpur, a fine native city of the tl
second class, ft contained nearly 9,000 houses T
and more than 25,000 inhabitants. The river fc
Gumti rose suddenly on the night of Friday, o:
the 15th of September, flooding most of the a
moullas south of the river, and one or two on tl
the north of it. It continued to rise all Satur- e!
day ; before noon the Rohuta Mohnlla. Goolar h
Ghat, Jehfenger&bad, Wellandgunj, and Joyea- n
pur presented the appearance of canals ; be- b
lore evening the foundations of the houses be- n
gan to give way, and then, one by one, they h
came crashing down, dissolved by an element ol
as devouring as Are. All Sunday the waters ol
began to rise, and covered the roadway of the H
far-faiued Moharnedan bridge ; the flue pucka no
seria was now flooded, and crowds who had h
taken refuge there were driven to seek another c<
resting place. All Monday and Tuesday the gi
waters grew mightily and prevailed ; the river ti
by this time flowed freely over the parapets of n
the bridge, of which only the shops or kiosks M
were then visible, and the flood was still rising fc
when the last tidings reached us. The whole
of the city south of the river has been totally vi
destroyed ; and as some people are skeptical J
when they hear of nativer losses, we may add si
that the post-office, mission school, and the si
solidly-bnilt dispensary have all likewise per- ti
ished. On the north side of the city many ig
inohullus have beeu swept away, and in the ai
chief bazaars the largest houses, undermined 31
by the rushing waters, were tumbling in, one h
after another, with a crash like that of thunder, fc
On a moderate computation, between 2,000 and ai
3,000 houses have beeu destroyed ; many others fi
must undergo demolition. Ten thousand per- ir
sons have been deprived of house and home, and S
it will require all the energy of district officers m
and the greatest liberality on the part of the Is
Government to prevent this calamity to be fob gi
lowed by the ills incidental to want and expo e<
sure. The disaster, accompanied as it is by a ji
deficient harvest and a second total failure of s<
the indigo crop, will, we fear, inflict a blow B
from which the pity and district will never e:
wnoiiy recover. it is Dcueveu tunc no nveB
have been lost. The people with good sense li
and forethought began removing their families t<
as soon as the danger became imminent. Perfect I
order prevailed. The magisterial officers and d'
district superintendent of police spent most of tf
their time in the city, and the exertions of the h
last-named officer are said to deserve high ol
praise. Though -the waters were still rising k
when the mail left, we trust that the civil (J
station is not in danger. m
Parisian Typographers. p
tl
Parisian typographers, although their po?i- ci
tion may be snubbed and ridiculed by many h
strangers totally ignorant of their ability, k
talent, and general capacity, form, neverthe- ri
less, one of the most learned and able classes a]
of the literature loving capital, and it requires M
more than the simple knowledge of type- a<
setting and composing to enable a typographer A
to obtain a good situation on some leading w
journal or to be admitted as member of the si
Typographical Society, which, in its way, is n
exceedingly powerful, and exerts a boundless tl
influence over the entire.Parisian press. With fi
few exceptions they are all more or less gifted
with highly cultivated, artistic 'feelings, and tl
many, though steadfast to their chosen trade, si
give overwhelming proof of their talent as h
poets, painters, and physicians; but their d<
dominant passion and pet pastime is the stage ft
and eve rything concerning theatrical matters, tl
and often in dramatical representations, deg ol
tincd to alleviate some misery or organized for s<
some charitable purpose, they display the h
animation, spirit, good will, and enthusiasm it
which setm to be an appanage of their pro- 4i
?-* - I ns
irpsiwn. v?.
Many of the bent French dramatists have ai
passed through the printing office on the road w
to fame and p -polarity, and a society of typographical
actors exists still, who interpret the
principal pieces of the Boulevard theatrss in
the most masterly, artistic manner. A inili- j.
tary career possesses few attractions for the ft|
Parisian type setter, and, if obliged to serve, cj
ut the expiration of his time he quickly returns tj
to tho work-shop, not being at alt ambitious of
following tho gory banner of Marg and reaping
the life-bought laurels of war. Only during w
the siege of Paris, it must be said, that the 111
" Franc Tircurs de la Press," composed entirely
of typographers, gained universal praise 1.
for their heroic conduct in all Trochu's famons '
sorties, and behaved themselves in such au admirable,
chivalrio manner that it is at present
a great aud merited honor to have belonged to K1
that valiant battalion.
OTT duty, the typographers lead a pleasant P
life ; for they are well paid, and have always w
been famous as being the most reckiess, dash p
ing, extravagant fellows, next to the students
of literary and Bohemian Paris?the young *1
ones, of courso. Others live more rationally, ei
follow the classes of different philoteehnioai C]
associations, either of uiuBic, drawing, singing, e<
or languages, or else devote their time entirely P
to the holy pleasures of " home," which is so ^
seldom cared for in tho gay capital, and other ^
distractions capable of ornamenting the imag- |r
inution, developing the mind, and refluing the ^
taste. ^
' p1
?Fillial affection is a virtue for which one ^
gets no special credit, and is entitled to none. w
If a xnan under the influence of disagreeable 81
feelings must kick his grandmother, he pur
chases the thrilling indulgence at the expense f'
of public respect. J. T. Baker, the gentle- 01
manly landlord of the Monticello House, Ohar ^
lotte.-ville, Va., had a father, but that paront is 11
no more; for, although he had once been a IB
rich man, and owned land and 100 slaves, and ^
although he was 90 years old, his ungrateful u
offspring put him in a little room over a stable, w
and seems to have left him to shift pretty
much for himself there. Being found dead,
there was a coroner's jury, and the evidence P.
showed that the poor eld man had lingered out

unfed, uawashed, and unclothed. It is no w
great honor to human nature that such cases n
as these are pretty rare. There may he quite ?
a number of unnatural sons who would like to
starve their fathers; but these monsters are u'
restrained by public opinion. We don't know
that the rule applies to mothers in-law, although ,
we are disposed to think that they are an in- M
jured cla^-s, and when they do their best to w
promote douiostio harmony, get much less ?
credit than they deserve. How are we to 11
defend the condhot of a young man in Trenton, ?
N. J., who was charged in court with adinhiis- 11
tering stripes to his second mother, and who
had the impudence to tell the Judge that it P
was simply " impossible lor him to be bossed w
by a mother in law." It was apparent from c
this that he still intended to chastise the jfoor r
gentlewoman whenever opportunity offered;
aud so he was put under bonds to keep the
peace. j'
Outrage in Anne Arundel.?Shortly after ^
one o'clock on Tuesday a gang of Baltimore
ruffians, several of whom are employed at the "
City Yard, visited Waterford, the voting pre- JS
cinct of the Third District of Anne Arundel
county, and attempted to vote fraudulently. A
Mr. Webster, one of the candidates for County
Commissioner, objected to the vote of one of .
the roughs, whereupon the companions of the ^
"imported" assaulted Mr. Webster in a violent '
maimer. This was the signal for a general *
fight, and for several moments it waged fiercely. s
The Baltimore bullies and their county ool- *
leagues were finally overpowered and beaten P
froui the ground. The coiorod men nobly and D
courageously assisted their white Republican c,
friends in ridding the polls of the presence of ?
the rowdies, and several of the roughs to-day 1
t bear unmistakablo evidences of the muscular 1
development of Aune Arundel county colored c
men.? Bait. American, Nov. 8. 5

are all one flash of flame; the maple trees go ?
pranked in gay gauds; crimson nods to scarlet, 1

An IntcrTiew with Saat.
A New York correspondent of the Cincie*
ati Gazette thus writes :
Professional duties called me to the cost
ottaffo home, away up above Central Park, of
be most renowned of all yonfij$ ,4 masters,*
'h. Nast. (Can't we connoisseurs of fine arts
wpet for a day our dear old familiar mnmmiel
f the pencil and brush and turn from these
flnrn mJk naromanh to tkn amiloa aT
ae younger and fresher heroes of modern art
lectrifiod by the genius of tbeage?) I found
im busy as a bee in his adorned and illumined
streat, His welcome was sufficiently artistic,
ut cordial and homelike. He is a muscular,
ledium height, dark haired, square,and rather
andsome faced person, with the tout ensemble
f the Teuton, modified by a hot dash of the
Id Latiu stock direct from the Roman repubc.
He has bright eyes (and pretty, too, as
iv lady friend confessed, unhesitatingly) and
is smile is winning. He expresses his deep
onvictions in words as unambiguously as he
lggests his views to the world tn those inimiihle,
terrible cartoons in and out of Harer's.
Among the hulk of good things that
Ir. Nast said, I condense (from memory) the
illowing:
441 have for years told those who desired my
iews that the coming question is whether the
esuits through the Irish Catholic vote shall or
3all not rule this Repulse, Hrndnally this
lhtle power has been undermining the instiltions
of onr adopted country. Priesthood
i aware that free schools and Romanism are
ntipodes, and they know that the former will
irely destroy the latter. The two cannot go
and in hand. Hence, by every means, fair or
ml, priesthood seeks to upbuild the 'Church'
nd weaken the public school. Why, when I
rst-began my cartoon war on the Paddy rule
i New York the hoys of the company of the
cventh regiment to which I belong laughed at
ie; hut when I turned out with my mnsket
ist July they cheered me and said, 'Tommy,
ues8 you were right after all. It has
>me?yoKr prediction was true. It might
ist as well be settled now as to put it off to
)me future day.' The boys called it 'Nast's
iiot,' because t had exasperated (as the Irish
sprcssed it) the devils, and exposed their inunous
designs. They have threatened my
fe. In fact, I have sent my family out of
)wn, that they may not be witnesses of any
bloody work' of these murderous Irish mobs
tiring election times. The most consoling
ling to me is that I feel certain that I am

lercifully interposed its power, and these unung

of their late conduct, and its defence by certain
prrties, has been a national disgrace.
It is a fact that rice will have its suffering
victims just as surely as virtue and worth will
have its reward. W hether we look upon it in
a national or an individual sense it is the
same--the same in the magnitude of its import- <
ance. The ca?e of the South demonstrates it.
Never was there a system of slavery maintain- j
ed at the expense of so much cruelty and
crime as was tnat of our Southern States ; arid
yet, amidst the shrieks of the lash and the wail
of the oppressed, it was defended by the public, j
the press, and the pulpit?it was even called
divine. Surely the scourge of war which fell
so heavily upon them should have convinced
them that vice will produce its sufferings as
certainly as virtue will be rewarded. But we
see the South still in distress, crime appalling
ly rampant, and their apologists of the North j
become their culpable viudicators.
But the days of political deception are fast
drawing to a close. This has been full} demonstrated
in our late elections, particularly in
those of our county, iu which the scandalous ;
frauds perpetrated by the Democratic parly
were rebuked by its most prominent members,
who exhibited their disgust, in common with a

The Reign of Terror on Election
Day in tlie Ulooily Sixth
of Sew York.
Mr. Molville D. Landon, a perfectly credible
journalist, tells the following astounding story
in the New York Commercial:
The disgraceful scenes, the ruffianly assaults,
the dishonest repeating, fraudulent voting, and ;
final surrender of the ballot boxes in this Tweed
ward cannot be described. I am not writing
about what I heard or read in the newspapers,
but I state what 1 saw with my own eyes.
I saw drunken men come into the Second
Voting Precinct, not with Republican votes, for
such a man would have been assulied in three
minutes, but with the ticket of the Committee ,
of Seventy, inoluding O'DonovanRossa, and
lay them on the ballot-boxes. ,
I saw Edward Coppors, a low, vulgar seoun- \
drel, acting as inspector, snap these votes off, \
and before the eyes of Michael Costello, the (
only Republican who dared to stay in the room,
deposit Tweed votes. J
I saw four policemen, among whom was a
contemptible scoundrel of the name of Francis
O'Rourke, connive at these frauds.
1 saw thief after thief come in, whom Mr.
Costello knew to be voting fraudulently, and
their votes were received by their associate
thief, Coppers, and deposited unchallenged.
I saw brave Michael Costello challenge one
brutal repeater, and then I saw five scoundrel* ,
assaul^ him, aud drug him to the ground, while ,
four policemen stood by and saw it done. ^
Then I saw Francis O'Rourke march this in j
nocent, bravo Republican challenger to the (
station-house und falsely accuse hiin of assault, ,
when he knew he was telling a villainous lie.
Then I saw Michael Costello iu a cold, damp,
stone cell, looking like a felon, out of an iron ;
gate. ' (
Shall this scoundrel police officer, Francis
O'Rourke, go free?shall he still remain ou the
police force f
After this I saw the ballot-boxes in the hands
of thieves and repeaters. Every Republican
vote was rejected, unless it was disguised.
Only Tweed votes were received.

which was defended by police.
To this the writer proposes to testify when
William M.Tweed asks for his seat in Albany
next winter. This morning I see this voting
precinct gave 346 votes for Tweed and only 4'2
against him, when it cast 48 Republican votes
for Woodford in 1870.
Dk. S. G. Howe Too Much Interrogated.?
Dr. Howe seems to have had more inquiries
about San Domingo, since the announcement
that he would Dass the winter there, than he
has known how to answer. Bo he writes to the
New York Timta, which started the story?
that?
44 Men from various parts of the oountry apply
to me personally, and by letter, for infor- <
! mation about the island ; for leave to join my
| party, or to offer their services in various capacities.
I could have a following that would
fill the ' Tennessee,' and one functionary that
she lacked?to wit, a chaplain, indeed, it is
the application for such a berth that has induced
me to address you, and say, 'ileldl
enough I' I am willing to give any information
in my power concerning Santo Domingo to
persons who think of emigrating thither. If
the state of my health should require me to go
to the West Indies next winter, I may, perhaps,
enjoy for a few weeks the boliny air and
delicious sea-bathing of Santo Domingo; but
I shall not want to take farmers, mechanics,
miners, traders, speculators, or servants : and,
although my sins are manifold, I trust 1 may
be able to repent acceptably without the aid of
i a chaplain."
the silk worm and manufacture of silk goods
are again receiving attention, and with the i
most encouraging results. 11
In California a large amount of capital has,
within the last three years, been invested in i
the silk business. In one cocoonery, in S.uita t
Barbara county, California. 10,000 mulberry j
trees were planted in 1867, which produced \
300,000 cocoons iu the following year. Mr. <
lloag and others are realizing $1,000 per acre
as the net annual profit from propagating eggs J
and producing cocoons; and where the selling 1
of silk is combined with the egg business, the t
profits are largely augmented, in sinne cases, i
to $2 340 per acre per annum. The eggs,
owing to the dryness of the climate, always 1
produce healthy grubs, and are in great de ,
mand in South America, China, Japan, and
France. They are sold at an average of $4
per ounce. It is not, however, tho policy of
cultivators to export either eggs or raw silk.
Manufacturing at home is tire ultimate objoct. '
A number of silk manufactories have already
sprung into existence at Patterson, Now Jcr
sey, and in other sections of the country, and .
their number is rapidly increasing.
One of the moro recent experiments in the
manufacture of silk goods, is the velvet and
velvet ribbon manufactory in the new State of
Kansas. M. de Boissiere, a French capitalist J
and silk manufacturer, after our protective J
tariff checked the export of silk goods from 1
Frante to America, exported himself to the ]
United States and brought over his silk
weavers. They have started a colony in Frank- 5
lin county. Kansas, purchased 3,200 acies of '
land, erected a stone building for a factory, 1
together with dwelling houses, a store, and uu '
office. The looms and machinery are of the (
latest improved construction, so much so, that 1
one man manufactures two hundred and eighty 1
yards of velvet ribbon per day, carrying
through the loom fifty-six pieces at a time, 1
each of about five yards in length. These '
goods are pronounced by the trade in St. Louis '
and other cities, where they arc now on sale, j
equal to the best imported goods.
These velvet goods are neatly put up in gilt '
bands, and labeled and marked, " Extra
French Velvet, manufactured in Kansas, America."
M. de Boissiere is increasing the nun^er j
of his looms, and introducing machinery ior 1
the manufacture of sewing silk, tassels, and (
trimmings, and if tho protective tariff is con
, tinued, be will include tho more costl, varle 1
I ties of dress silks and satins.
If, under tho protective tariff, ono such an 1
establishment proves to be a success, why may
not a thousand succeed, distributed over the
country ? We annually expend $30,000,000 on
foreign silks. With the present protection
continued, these in a few years will be made
in our own country, from American silk, giving
employment to our own peotde, and those from

he hoped to return to Europe. To enable him ?

because Pennsylvania refused. After this he I

" The charge of corruption of Senators in tc

would make a disinterested report and exhon- ^
irate every mother's son of them from the T

1 more honorable set of fellows never existed C(
u this or auy other age. It is too late now,
.ve reckon, to do this. The Kentucky Le^isla- w
ture will, probably, before this goes to press
jave adjourned sine die. God grant that it v<
will. Better, far better, would it huv# been for fo,
he reputation of some of its members in both hi
oranches had it adjourned long ago, or hid it y
lever met. Far better for the country, for tho c<
Democratic party, for the tax paying people of sl
Kentucky, had many of the members of the m
Senate and lIou.se of Representatives never ^
lived. They have been a burden to the Demo- u
:ratic nartv. A few more such Lecislntureu -

will be too much even fur that grand old party p
to stand?strong as it is in principle and jus- c
tiro. May it never be inflicted again with such 0
an incubus as that Legislature has been npon it." u

A'j 0!i(rn?cc?s Fraud. a
a
At the lowest computation one thousand tj
Republicans were yesterday denied the right of w
voting in the several wards by open fraud on a
the part of the registers. The names of voters t]
who cast their ballots two weeks ago for Mayor ri
had been stricken off the registry to the number b
of from fifty to sixty in nearly every precinct, ci
whilst middlsi names had been inserted in other
cases, so that the voter was denied his right of
franchise. Hundreds repaired to the courts
and paid for certificates of registration, but the 2
judges refused to allow them to vote on hese m
certificates, and their votes were lost. It ap tl
peared to he a systematic business throughout n
the city, and was effectual in its work, as there <x
w is no appeal from the decision of the judges, w
The present registry law is of itself an in- h
struiuent of fraud, and means for its exercise T
by unscrupulous men aro sufficiently abundant fi
without r> s >rting to this outrage on the rights w
of the citizen. We have also reports froru the e:
neighboring counties of similar tampering with ul
the registry lists. The public sense of right ui
and justice will demand of the Governor-elect o
the appointment in future of men of sntticicnt n
character and standing to the position of Regis rn
ter to give assurance that an end shall be put R
to this species of fraud. Wo much mist; ke the is

[From the Baltimore* Amcri. *u ]
Wo think that oor most intelligent merchants.
as well as all others who are looking to
the commercial and industrial advancement of
Baltimore, will heartily thank Judge Bond for I
bis decision in the Passenger Railway case, at
least so far as it will cau-e the disappearance I
protn the City Passengi-r Railway cars of those
badges of a dead prejudice which ought to have
>een removed long since. The decision of
Jud^e Qiles, on which theso placards were
iiased, was made ineffectual for the purpose
ntendwl by the almost immediate action of the
shite people in taking literal possession of th
iclored cars, so that for more than a year past
.he Company has made no attempt to furnish
idequate accommodation f?r them. Afm
vaititig a half hour for oue of the spotted carhoy
would find it overloaded with white p?ode,
and scarcely room on the platform t ^ ol>ain
a footing. This was neither right nor
u -it, and we think that Judge Giles in allowing
ho Company thus to almost evade the spirit of
he law, made a mistake. It would have been
>ettcr to have required theui to set apart acer- *
ain number of cars for tho exclusive use of
olored persons, for if they bed the r:ght to
xclude one class of passengers from certain
ars, they should have been required to carry
utthe same principle with regard to the other
lass.
When our city was crowded with strangers
om all parts of the country attending th reat
convocations here, this relic of a dead
redjndice was the subject of constant remark. I
; had disappeared from thectrs everywhere
sccpt here in Baltimore, aud although
rather represented the prejudice of a priite
corporation than the sentiment of the
eople, they expressed surprise that our courts
[lowed them to thus trifle with law and jusee.
It Wild at thus time that we appealed to
io Company to cease llauuting in the face of
rangers this badge of shame, and not await
le action of the courts to compel an impartial . j
iforccment of the law. We cannot keep pace *
ith the progress of the a^o in liberal and
uiuaoitanau sentiment if such things are
[lowed, and it becomes the duly of all who are
oking to a brighter future for our city to i
take haste to get rid of any remnant of feel- ]
ig that would indicate that we are not koeping
nee with the spirit of the age.
There are Methodists in this country who
