that revealed In th Court ot Commoa

fidavit was road bv the eminout conn.

disclosure, not the Ices painful because
evidently perpetrated by Republican
election officer, and not th less ex
traordinary because, in our opinion,
wholly unnecessary, except lo savo
from defeat the ohjociioiiuble men on

made a very significant remark on
this startling disclosure and billowed
il by on order on Frothonolary Lough-
ridge, which must loud to still further
evidences of the deeply planned con
piracy of the 8lh of October last
The light thrown on this conspirucj

apparent in the returns j that some of
the envelopes containing the hourly
lists of the division are missing ; tliut
many of the returns cannot be found,
and that numerous of them are not
signed by the proper onirers required
by law to certify to their correctneae
The exposures of frauds pcrpulraUd
are confined to only thirty-five divis
ion of twelve wards. The plan was
systematic, and il is tufu to aiscrl that
there were numerous cases us yet un
discovered of alteration of ihe vote in
the other 324 divisions. The divisions
in which the fraud were perpulraled
includo about one-tunlh of the vote of
lit lly. If tltoy r eqttMl In si
lent in only one-hall of the others (and
fraud In the great majority of litem is
not only possible, but probaMe), the
voto of Philadelphia was falsified at
least fifteen thousand on the evening
of ibe 8th of October by the election
officer alone. This is exluslv of the
repealing, personating and bollot-box
stuffing by the tool of the ring on
the same day. We now verily beliove
that an examination of the entire re
turn and a contest in which the
fraud commit tod, bul not apparent
upon them, could bo extosed, would
put the stamp of guilt upon at least
five hundred men in Philadelphia, and
show that Charles R. littckulew car

The Eoods on the River Po--A Stormy
October in Both Hemispheres.
Wo find In the New York 'Herald,
of the 1st instant, n somewhat lengthy
statement of tho ravages mado in
Europe by Ihe overflow of tho ' River
Po, but can only give tho follow Ingi
From Homo we have desputclios
which inform ui that, from the over
flow of tho river, tho floods on the
banks of tho Po ( which course Italy
above the boot top from Mont Ceni
to tho Adriatic Sou) have out abated ;
that four thousand workmen are en
gaged night, and day on tho dykes, or
levees, to confine the river if possible
within its bank; that the damages
caused to properly and crops in ilnn
tua und Ferrara aro incalculable; that
in Ferrara alone forty thousand per
sons have been rendered homeless ;
but that from all points relief is coming
in to the suffering people.. Further,
it appears thut may persons havo been
drowned, and thul the Italian Minis
ter of Public Works, who has gone to
tho seeno of destruction, is en per in
tending ihe work of relieving tho dis
tressed people. Tho basin of the Po
ia the garden of Italy, and, from ils
fertilo soil of "river bottom lands," as
we would call them, and from careful
cultivation, is exceedingly productive.
The periodical floods of the Po. which
wr.uld otherwise regularly overflow its
bottom lands in ihe lower rivcr,are now
kept iu by its artificial embankments.

unusually heavy freshet in tho nu
merous n ihil turies which descend into
the main stream from the Alp. Un
usually heavy rain in tho Alps, with
an increased disoltition of ihe ice and
snows of thuir lofty plateaux, peuks
and ridges, are therefore the immedi
ate causes of ibis inundation of the Po;
and if these October rains of Northern
Italy hare extended southward over
the Apennines tve shall next hear, no
doubt, of another overflow from tho
Tiber at Rome.
Next, recent deputches from Lon

Coiucidontly with this oomes the
news, much more material, the con.

measured, that the Imperial Govern,
