After all tho dumuablu frauds com
mitted by Eliza Piukston, Wells. Brad
ley & Co., auch as perjury, fraudulent
counts in election returns and the
counting of electors disfranchised by
the Constitution of the United Slutcs,
Iluves and Mm. Piukston, have only
ono hundred anil eighty-five electors
while Tilden linn one hundred and
eighty-four, and a popular majority of
over a quurtur of million of voters.
Florida and Louisiana entitled to
twelve electors both voted for Tilden ;
yot, Mrs. Pinkslon, Wells, llrudley &
Co., counted them for Uayes. If thin
eystem of fraud ia approved and de
fended by the IUdicul leaders, "thia
furco of a Government" may as well
be wound up. Another such a fraud
ulent count will result in a Revolution,
if not in anurchy of the bloodiest
kind and the Rudicul conspirators muy

counting, have gained their lust vie

The Commissioners of ourcoiinly com

cases made and provided. They pub
lish "a full anil accurate statement of
ull receipts and expenses," and the
"amount received by each Commis

tho amount puid by each borough and

Judges Ilradley and Strong, as well

this clause bad been torn out of ibo

The Judgment Kill. It appears
tbut many of the Justices in this Stale
have adopted tho plan of hearing law
suits, and adjourn tho cases, but never
enter judgment. To cure this legal
dodge the following bill bas been in
troduced into our Legislature known
as House bill No. 33:
An Act requiring justices of tho peace
unrl aldermen ol this Commonwealth
to render judgments within ten days
after ull the evidence in a case ahull
huve been heard.

The Result. Samuel J. Tilden was

the spectacle of a man occupying the

"So man twrMy t.f thr nfficf nf Prnhlent

Yes, and you will hear much more
of lhal kind of thunder betoro another

determined to do away with Return

their own counting in such an emphatic
manner that there can he no doubt as
to who is elected hereafter. Perjury,
fraud and constitutional violations are

result was still in doubt, Grunt tele
