Election Frauds in Cambria Co.
Thebbse freed attempted to he perpe
trated on the honest ..eieetorswpf .Cambria
county, by ft willainousand rascally, yet;
weak and silly in Washington town
ship, at the election last October, has hcen
frustrated, and the wickednassjof the par
ries concerned laid bare before jthe gpze of
hbnest men; everywhere, by the able, ole t
and scorching Opinion of that eminent
jurist, Judge Taylor, a few extracts from
which we : publish in another column, re
gretting that. Car limited space will not al
low gs! to publish it entire. Ai more out
rageous. attempt to, frustrate, the popular
will never was undertaken. The opinion;
of Judge T., fully narrates .the facte,
which are proven and undonico, that from
the time the polls opened until the vote
was announced,..not one thing was done
by the Election Board in accordance with
either the laws of the land or usage of
election officers. We do hot intend to
recapitulate the errors committed, or re
count the frauds proven to have been per
petrated, as the gist.'of them are contained
published elsewhere. We
are pleased -to see the fraudulent schemes
of daring, bad men brought to the light
Nof day. Several men, who have been
prominent for a number of years past as
leaders of the Democratic party in Cam
bria county, who have received largely of
favors from that party, are, by Judge
Taylor’s Opinion, (identified with' these
frauds. If they ate possessed of the feel
ings of common.,humanity—if there is a
spark of honesty left in them-—they
should leave the country, and iry, by a
total change of life, to atone for* their
course pursued v in this matter, by an
honest endeavor to do right in some
lapdwbere the past of them is not,known.
If they do not they should be .shunned by
every honest man in Cumbria county as
well as elsewhere, as a walking pestilence.
To men who would be guilty of such an
act —one which directly undermines the
corner-stone of our glorious institutions —
the feeling of shame is not known,and we
believe that even in. this way they could net
be touched and made/eel, but there is away
to make them regret and feel- —a way inti
mated by Judge Taylor. Let the District
Attorney and next Grand Jury of Cambria
county see to the discharge of their duty
by exerting “an active agency in institu
ting and Carrying but public prosecutions

Government, at a time when Capt. Mont
gomery, the leader of the Free State meb,
was about io gain the victory, ban again
invaded the Southern partof the !^erriid r
iy with a band of jMissonri ruffians, and
is now carrying on the .work of butcher
ing Free State, menahd robbing and burn
ing their dwellings. The defence of the
inhabitants againstthis invasion having
been wholly neglected by the Federal Gov
ernment, 1 Oapt. Montgomery, whom the
Government, it appears, is determined to
arrest and try as a murderer and robber,
has taken it in hand, and if the Authori
ties will lot him alone, will be very apt to
teach Hamilton a lesson .which will jen

'We do not wish to he understood aside
siring such a settlement of this internal
feud, as we consider it would he a disgrace
to the country, but the proper Authorities
being either powerless to accomplish '
desired end, or not wishing to do so, we
are in favor of taking, tho shortest' cut to
arrive at a finale. It is thought, howev
er, that something will yet be accomplish
ed by the Authorities, as Goy. Medary has
’ ordered four companies of Dragoons and
the militia of Finn and Bourdon counties
to the sciat of war, and has sent for arms
and ammunitions.
To offset the action, of the Governor of
Kansas, it is reported by a special mes
senger, who lately arrived in Washington,
that the Legislature of Missouri had cal
led put volunteers and appropriated money >
to he used in carrying on a campaign
against Montgomery. This has naturally
expasperated tha people of Kansas, and
unless there be timely interference a
bloody civil war may be expected. The
Legislature of Kansas Has not as yet
taken any ; actipn-in the premises.
Wo hope these difficulties may he
speedily and honorably adjusted—in fact
they must be if the Federal Government
will but do its .duty. Unless this be the
case, our nation will soon become a by
word and a reproach among all other civ
ilized nations. The idea that a few dem
agogues and lawless men should be per
mitted to keep a portion of our country in
a.state .of-civil war for years, without our
Government being able to subdue them
is certainly preposterous, and a fit subject
for ridicule. It would not require, that
examples should be made of morClhr.n ten
or a dozen of those ruffians in order to
forever silence the remainder, and itj were
better that the lives of that number of the
agitators should be sacrificed at once; than:
that hundreds, perhaps, of innocent men
should be murddred in defending their
homes and families. . We do pot wish to
screen cither party, or cast the blame of
this outrage wholly upon either, as we
consider both at fault. Our motto is
Piatjuitia , mat sx'um.

Judge Taylor’s Decision.
We hate just -finished reading the somewha
lengthy but carefully prepared decision of the
Court, delivered by his Honor, Judge Taylor, in
ihc matter of the contested seat in the board of
county commissioners, growing out of alleged
frauds in Hie holding of the election in Wash
ington township in October last. Had wo room,
we would gladly publish, as a part of the histo
ry of tbe'limes,; the whole of this important de
cision, bat “ there’s the rub 1”—wo haven’t the
requisite space at our command. We give, how
ever, some of,i!jfi leading points in the decision
of the learned Judge, from which the tenor and
sp rit of the wholfc/nay be inferred with tolera
ble correctness. The manner in which the
e'ec i >n board was organized and the election
conducted, is thus shown:
“One of the officers, A. F. Cantwell, the
judge, was » Jrfatmoatcr, who, as he swears be
fore. the .commissioner, resigned before the
election, and mailed bis resignation the morning
of the election; (although it appears never to
have reached tbe-General Post Office, and must
c-.iberhavo been unmailed before it started or
miscarried)..; but who, however this was, un
dertaking to act as a judge before his resigna
tion could have reached Washington, or have
been accepted, and fffl|n ho has since been act
ing as Postmaster, as his Own testimony shows,
\vas incapacitated to ait and act asonfe of the
election boprd. Charles Goisman,
wbo -jf as deputy Postmaster, and also ineligible,

Inspectors, bhh'of whoni Was appointed by Mr.
Cantwell in the place of Michael Moyers, Who
had been elected at the spring election, and who
appears to have been at the election on that day
and yated, are Germans who can neither read j
nor write English, and, of coarse, were utterly I
incompetent to discharge by ■

commissioner through ah interpreter.' One of
the Germans (ph the board, moreover, is it ap

these things appear in the evidencs. In a
word, if Squire Goorge had sworn tbaaa oft
oers to disregard every requisite of tho law.
Instead of s wearing them to observe it, they
would 'merit more Commendation fbr their

that neither of the clerks could be fonnd or pro
cured totestify- before the commissioner, and
that one of them. Geisman, in the opinion of the
officer, and as is evident .from ifhat the officer
states, -evaded thoproctsaofthe law.?.
The Judge next proceeds to notice theaiga
mentspresented.by counsel in mitigation or ex
tenuation of the admitted informality and tech
nical illegality in the Organization and subse
quent proceedings'of the board; all of which
he disposes of very, summarily. He proceeds
then to Show from the evidence that more than
one-ba'f of the names of voters oh the tolly-list
were fictitious, and the corresponding votes re
turned, fraudulent. ‘ Speaking of this foot he
says’: . ■ v ,
The first prominent fact going to prove this,
which arrests the attention, is the discrepancy
between the list of taxables and the list of vot
ers. It is- well known that every list of taxables,
comprises the names of females, aliens, and non
resident property holders who have no right to
vote. It is well known, moreover, that all who
have a right to vote, are never at a any election.
These together seldom fail to outnumber large
ly those whose names are put on what is called
the “ ten-day list,” and those who voto “on
age so that it very rarely happens that the
list of voters equals the list of taxables. Gen
erally. it falls far short of it. And of this, every
one can be convinced by instituting a compari
son with respect to all of the other election dis
’ tricts in the country. Here, .however, - there are
311 taxables; while, on the list of voters we
have 437; showing an excess of 126; or more
than 40 per cent!—This fact alone, unexplain
ed; is convincing proof of something foal and
fraudulent.
But further, —of these 437 names on the list
of voters, we find in the assessment, or list of
taxables, only 158; showing that no less than
279,' if they voted at all, must have done so on
a residence of ten days and a proof of the pay
ment of “tax,*' or on age, and. if so. it was the
duty of the officers to scrutinize, require the
specified proof, and preserve the evidence of
their right to vote.
Here the Judge gives extracts from the gen
eral election law in reference towho are enti
tled to vote, and the keeping of lists, and then
says:
These lists, then, should contain the evidence
of the right of the 279 whose names ore not on
the list of taxables, to vbte, They are the evi
dence which the law requires, and their preser-'
vation was a positively enjoined duty for the
very purpose for which we here want them.—
But the list of taxables which should have been,
was not thus preserved. It cannot fye found;
and the officers can or will give no account of
it. And the other lists contain no notings by
the officers which show that any of these persons
were examined, or produced any proof of their
right to vote. On the contrary, it app,ars in
the testimony taken and reported that no one
teas sworn and examined upon oath . and t'.at no
naturalization-papers were demanded or produced.
The conclusion is unavoidable, that the 158
whose names are found on the assessment list,
were the only qualified electors here.
And this; by the way, accords with the testi
mony of some of the witnesses who estimated
the number of persons voting that day, at about
that number; as well as with other evidence, to
the some point, yet to bo noticed. We have ho
evidence of the qualification of any others; nay,
the evidence which the law requires as to the
279 whose names are not on the assessment, A.j s
no existence, and we are warrented in the conclu
sion that, if they were there, and did vote, their
votes were illegal.
The Judge then proceeds to cite ruling of
the Court in the Philadelphia District Attorney
case ns substantiative of bis own, after which he
dwells at length on the failure of the respond
ent to reconcile the discrepancy between the
list of voters and the assessment list. If th ere
was no fraud, why was evidence of a fair elec
tion not offered ? Tho Judge then reviews the
testimony of Arthur Storm, Jacob Burgoon,
James Conrad and Matthew hi. Adams, all ojd
citizens of Washington township, who stated be
fore the commissioner that they had no know
ledge of the 275) voters whose names appeared
on the tally-list and pot on the assessment list,
and concludes from it that 276 of the 279 on the
list of voters, .which ore not found on the assess
ment list, x pr list of taxables, are not in the
township and were not there on the day of the
election- The Judge, after some remarks upon
the legal pojnt submitted by respondent’s coun
sel, that nof affirmative proof of fraud had been
adduced by complainants, proceeds to dispose
of the case upon its merits thus:
“ In view of the evidence, we would bo bound
to treat the names On the assessment,—! 68—as
the Only legal (Votes cast. It is contended on
the part of the complainants, upon the evidence
adduced, that 70 votes were actually cast for
Abel Lloyd. It 1s shown, at all events, beyond
doubt dr cavil, that he did receive the number
returned fop him—44. • This would leave 141,
instead of 338 returned, for Lewis Fisher. £bis
would elect Mr. Lloyd by over 150 votes. But
the facts. In our judgement, disclose such franc
as renders the whole poll undue and void.—
Throwing away,- therefore* the whole vote of
Washington township, tho result stands thus;

The election of Softer probidWy Jglyes more

Mr. Finney has reported in the Senate an
A4t abolishing the law in force .in Blair county
in relation to the preservation of sheep, and the
taxing of dogs. It seems to me that this is a
very wise law, inasmuch aft the tax collected on
dogs is devoted to the payment pf ! damages
done to sheep by dogs at large. : Sorely sheep
are of mare advantage to the people of Blair
county than vicious or worthless dogs.
A bill bos been read in place by Blr, With
erow, for the incorporation of the Levistowu
Bank, and also one in the Senate, by. Blr. Penny,
asking for the incorporation of the Commercial
Bank of Pittsburg. Honest men of all parties
have but one opinion in regard to any farther
increase of banking capital, and there is no
prospect whatever that any such increase will
be likely to be granted by the present Legisla
ture. . .(T
The bill abolishing the Cans!Board, and the of
fice of State Engineer was reported to-day by
Che Committee, with amendments. There is
now a prospect that it will be cal)ed up at an
early day.
The fight for the printing of the Legislative
Record still rages. Haldeman still has it, but
Bergner is moving all the elements pf partisan
fealty to get the job. This morning quite a
discussion took place in the House! in regard to
it, butdt would appear that Bergner finds it no
easy job to oust Haldeman, on the old princi
ple, doubtless, that “ possession is nine points
in law.”
Quite a little fracas occurred here last week.
Capt. Dona van, an ex-member of the Legisla-
ture, came in contact with Joseph J|. Church,
the present member from the same district in
Philadelphia, represented last session by Dona
van, and a melee ensued in whichcane, horse
whip and umbrella figured. Donavan used a
cane and a'horso-whip for his right and left
“bowers,” and won the “ first horse,’ 1 in con
sequence of Cbnrch holding no tt|U(hp hut a fra
gile umbrella. Donavan then coffiineacpd lead-
ing off his trumps on the second Horse, when
the by-standers interfered, Church then had
Donavan arrested and bound over in $l,OOO, to
answer a charge of assault, and battery with
intent to kill'. Tbc affair had its origin iti some
remarks which Church made on the floor of the
House, to which Donavan t<?pk strong ex
ceptions. ' On Saturday, a resolution was pas-,
sed by the House, excluding Mr;'o. from the
floor—a marked indignity, and.onol do not
think the House was justified in offering, since
the assault did not even occur on the Capitol
grounds, but in the public streets yf Harrisburg.
Lust Saturday, Mr. Barlow, at -the instance
of Mr. M’Minu, Engineer of the* Tyrone- and
Lock Haven Railroad, tried to get & bill through
Committee of the Whole, authorizing the Com
pany to borrow ssoo,ooo'to pay'for their rails
and equip the road. As the rood docs, not owe |
a dollar, there is no reason why this bill should
not pass; but objection was made'to U because
the mortgage bonds are to be takpq to Europe,
and it is alleged that we have already too much,
foreign Railroad capital in the country." 'this
road .will prbve a very important one- dnd there
should be no legislative barneys to its early
completion. ’;
In the House to-day I noticed the following well
known gentlemen connected with, the iron: inter
ests in Blair county, viz:—DjividWatspn, Col.
•lack, J. R. Crawford, Samuel ISett,JohnK.
Neff, A. M'Allister and R. L,, Herrell. They
came here for the purpose of having, a .resolu
tion passed’ instructing pur Senators and Mem
bers of Congress to vote for a modification of the
tariff—one that will discriminate ih favor of the
coal find iron interests of Pennsylvania. The
resolution came up in the House this forenoon, 1
and gave rise tq, a very prolonged debate, wlpph
whs not bn the" merits of the resolution itself,
but on the right to instruct- The resolution
finally passed by a vote of 2* Mr. Qoepp,
of Northampton, and Mr. lihird, of Erie, voting
iq the negative. ' .. •*-
