To the Dimocratic Cithern of Pennsylvania :
I have lmt waited tho tardy movements
of our public auUiotities in collecting the
result of tbe election held on the 8tli ult.,
in order to dibchurge iho iucumbent duty
of calling your attention to the means by
which u majority of 120,0X1 votes (as I now

and suffering people, when the impend

Our plain duty, fellow-citizen st, both a3
a party and as patriots, is to maintain our
noble organization in all its power and ac
tivity. It now comprises upwards of two
hundred nnd seventy-six thousand free

toring the Government acd laws to their
original purity and vior, lies in tho pro

titious ballots havo been phcod in the

tho same as has been repeatedly proven
to have been the caso in our elections'
heretofore ; and secondly, the sull'rages ol
the volunteer soldiers have not only been
over-awed and perverted by corrupt par

in many cases, havo been tampered with

I would call it, but for Us various melan

tained by many ns to the wisUom and pro
priety of this measure, prior lo its adop

It is impossible over to secure a fair and
full distribution of tickets, so as to allow
a tree ciioico 10 me voters in army ser
vice. The expenses of the attempts made
to do so, aro almost beyond belief. On
the part of this State, they v. ill reach at

The Defences ok Sav.ixnau. The fol

Savanah has been furnished to the Cincin

1'1'oko into hi room, and declaring that
tney wcio United States detectives, pre
tended to arrn-t him. Tho first question
theynsked him wus, "how much money
have you?'' He told thorn the amount of
,r.s tuonuy, and they immediately procee
ded lo steal ouo huudied and thirty odd
dcilars. Two of (hem then left, and the
remaining one, without any explanation,
exhibition of wnrrnnt of niiy kind, or ol
legalion or any kind, took him to theOld
Capitol prison, at Washington and put
him into a cell. Mr. Fowler's baggaco
was also robbed, and not even a shitt'wns
left him. Days and weeks pnssud, nnd
Mr. Fowler's health, already deiicate, de
clined rapidly. Tho room swarmed with
loathsome erinin, which scorned toabound
in every thread of tho miserable old blank
ets that were given him for r bed. Tho
lood he spoke of as most horrible. Break
fast consisted of a cup of muddy slush
called coffee, but hardly fit even to throw
m the gutter, two or three iiuio cilies of
hard laek, nnd a small piece of mill-fed
por that would oftentimes fall in pieena
tiom its own weight when taken up with
tho fingers. Dinner was compose. J of
something they called bean soup, with,
oneo a week, a dish of vegetable soup and'
a piece of beef hardly the size of three fin
ders. Supper was often a piece of bread
and coli'ee ; sometimes o piece of bard
i-iek with nm;;.t-s crawling in it. Neith
er knife, fork, nor Miooti n:i5 nllowed.
When any oneof the prisoners looked out
of tho windows, they weie told to put their
heads back or tliry would be Dred at.
Last Thursday, throush tho inlluonoe of
some fiiends, and a member of Congress,
Mr Fowler wn released. A n ollioer came
to the prison with an unconditional ro
le, isc pom Assistant .Secretary Dana. No
questions- were aked of him, nor w as tho
o.tih of nllogianro tendered, nor the mo
ney returned which hail been stolon, nnd
lie h ejunj, ifi , oP tny cU m
against him or any reasons why ho should
havo been arrested. Jlo never hoard any
reason given. He comes from the prison
with shattered health; "for," said tie, al-mo-t
with the simplicity of second child
hood", "that horrible, horrible place has
almost killed me." Such were tho adven
tures of an old man, going to the capital
ot the United Stales to seek information
of his son in the Union army. The world
was not allowed to bo read bv the prison
ers, but the Washington CkronH; and
papers of that stamp, tint fitted well with
iho condition of tho prison, were allowed
lo ciroulato freely. Mr. Fowler stated
that Col. Wood, the tuporintoudant-, see
med courteous nr.d Lindly disposed, and
ho believed that tho condition of the pris
on must have been (he fault of somo ono
else, up he thinks Col. Wood a most gen
