tef GO AND VOTE EARLY,
TAKE YOUR NEIGHBOR WITH
YOU and see that yon have the Union
Ticket.
Wanted at this office, a load of
good fodder, and good winter apples.
The official soldiers' vote of this
county, published in another column,
hears upon its face a refutation of the
libels ot the Democrat on the officers
of the army influencing their votes.
According to it, there are no honest
officers in it unless they arc Yallandig
ham sneaks, and the judges, inspect
ors and clerks, although taken from
both officers and men, arc all rascals ot
the most approved stamp. The real
wonder in the vote referred to is that
80 many should have voted for candi
dates who opposed allowing soldiers
to vote at all.
We know that a majority of the officers
in the army, of both high and low decree
—just like nearly all the office holders at
home—are auxious supporters of Lincoln
And why .' Simply because war is a prof
itable business, to them, and the longer if
lasts the more money they make. 88,000
a year, and 85.000 a year, and even 82,000,
(which latter sum is about what captains
get.) are very snug gums, especially for
broken down politicians and one horse law
yers, for there are really too many such
holding the offices.— True Democrat.
This is certainly one of the most ex
traordinary attacks upon army officers
we have yet read, and out Hcrods
Herod in unpatriotic zeal for the Yal-
Jandigham peace crew. There are no
doubt some men among the officers
who are governed there as they would
be at home by mercenary motives, but
that all or a majority of those who are
hourly liable to be killed or wounded,
expose life and all they hold dear for
the sake ot a few dollars salary T , is a
libel upon them as unjust as it is un
generous. \V e could give numerous
instances of both captains and colonels
who have endured all the privations
incident to war, who could have lived
at home at their case in the enjoyment
of wealth. We know others who left
happy homes and good situations, with
a full knowledge of the risk they ran
—but, according to the Democrat, pat
riotism, love of country, and a desire
to vindicate the laws against a foul re
bellion, had no place in their actions,
but all was a lowy-grovelling, mercena
ry spirit! \\ hen such infamous senti
ments are instilled into themindsofvo
ters in the name of demoejacy, men
who have still some regard for our fate
as a nation, may well tremble for their
country.
Soldier's Vote.
The following are the official figures
of the soldier's vote, as received at the
Secretary of State's office:

Democratic 5,282
Majority 12,656

land on Friday, the application for an

" Hard Times "
j The Democrat insists that times are
I hard and with its characteristic pre
f tended sympathy with tenant farmers.
mechanics and day laborers, cites them
as sufferers, and then has a fling at
any and everybody who do not spend
-i all they make, including leading dem
°r j ocrats and sundry others who we feel
pretty certain have made more money
s ' in these war times than any republi
j cans we know of in this county. But
v to the point. With wheat at 220} or
! bushel, new corn 1 35, hav 820 per ton,
f butter from 35 to 40 per lb., poultry
J 25 cents, and everything else in pro
. portion, with ready sale tor cash, what
j is to prevent the tenant men from get
! ting along? And so with the median
. ....
ie. He has raised his prices so as in a
great measure to correspond with the
: prices of goods. So too with the la
borer. Instead of bis having emplov
i ment a few days in a week at 75 to 80
cents a day, labor now seeks him with
constant employment at from 81.50 to
82.00 per day. N r or are the actually
necessary articles of living so high as
to be beyond the reach of all these, for
: the simple reason that people can and
do buy them and still have more mon
| ey than they ever had before. The
; sugar we are now using on our table
j cost 25 cents per lb.; flour is not as
j high as it was eleven or twelve years
ago; coffee, according to city quota
tions, ought to be soid at 40a45 cents
per lb., and as we now use one pound
where we formerly used three, we re-
I peat it that the poorer classes at the
' present day have a better opportunity
of making and saving money than they i
, ever had before. If however like i
j some fools we know of they throw
■ away 810 here, 820 there, and 850
' somewhere else for silks, satins and '
other claptraps, without a tittle of ben
j efit to themselves or anybody else, we
! do not wonder that •• hard times" stare
! them in the lace, and serves them
! right.
The Way of the Transgressor is Hard.
I The Lagrange (Missouri) American |
has an account ot the arrest in that |
place of a man who boasted of bis
i rebel proclivities and his participation !
I in the murder of the Missouri militia
| at Centralia. During one of his more 1
| peaceful frames of mind he dictated
the following letters:

A. B BLOOM.
He was taken to Hannibal, Mo., tried
and executed on the 7th October bv a
detail of twenty-four men. TheCour
. 1 ier of that place says;
i The prisoner gave his name as Ilughey
I). Bloom, and stated that he had married
his present wife, who resides in Lyons, j
Clinton county, lowa under the assumed
name of Smith, at Little ltock, Ark., a few
years since, aud that his wite'is ignorant of
. his real name One of his statements is
t to the effect that he enlisted in the rebel
, perv ice and served three years, when he
- deserted and enlisted in the Federal service
* I t Chicago, receiving a bounty of 8300
! deserted at Springfield, 111., last Tuesday!
j and made his way to Quincy, took a boat i
! tor Lagrange, wbeie he was arrested and i
j; sent to this place. Another statement
; ; which he made, that he had been with !
Anderson, and had taken a part at the late 1
massacre at Centralia, and we learn that he i
asserted that he knew some of the men
that belong to Capt. Theis' company. The
coat which he had on was identified, we
; learn as belonging to one of the members
ot Capt. Lancaster's company.
There was we learn a man of the
: name of Hugh B. Bloom a resident of
this place years ago, and although the
name (if Lawhaton is evidently an
error, it is no doubt the same person.

Great Fraud upon the Soldiers !
SEH ¥Ottk STATE AtFATS FOKGE VOTES
FOit HctI.ELI.AV.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 27—Extensive frauds
! have been discovered in this city and
Washington on the part of some commis
sioners of New York State to receive and
forward votes of the soldiers. The N. Y.
State agents, M. J. Ferry, of* Canton, St.
Lawrence county, and Edward Donahue, of
Albany, have been arrested and were
brought to trial, this evening, before a
| military commission, ol which Major Gen
| eral Abner Doubleday is president, and
j Col. .John A. Foster, of the 175 th New
j York, is judge advocate.
' On the conclusion of the reading of the !
! charges, Ferry plead guilty to a portion, j
arid said he had signed the names of some, i
In answer to a question by the Judge ]
Advocate, Foster, who stated that his
pleadings to the charge should be either I
j general or special, he said he desired to i
have counsel, lie was- informed that he j
i could send for any person he should choose
: as his counsel, and immediately sent for a
lawyer of this city. I
Donohue plead a general denial of the j
j whole affair, and wanted to be represented
by counsel from Albany or New York, lie
' said he thought the matter belonged to the
civil tribunals, instead of a military one.
He requested to know if Reverdy Johnson
; was to be had, as he w, s confident he would
' defend him. General Doubleday and
j Judge Advocate General Foster said they
i had no objection to postpone the case, as
| the prisoners had no counsel, in order to
■ allow them to obtain it, and accordingly ;
i adjourned until Friday at ten o'clock,
j It is stated that seven dry goods boxes |
of votes for the Democratic National and
State nominees have been forwarded from !
here by express. Several packages of al- i
leged forged tickets are in the hands of j
the Military Commission, with letters, Ac., •
involving parties in New York.
After the adjournment of the court,
Ferry made the following full confession :
I do not recollect the time when the first
papers were forged, but it was in the pres
ence of (). K. \Vood, of Clinton county,
New Y'ork; it was done in my office, No. i
85 Fayette street, Baltimore; I am, and j
have been for the past two years, the agent :
of the State of New Y'ork, appointed by
Gov. Seymour, to look after the sick and
wounded soldiers of New York; L first saw
Wood on Wednesday of last week at my
office. He came and represented himself j
as an agent of the central committee of his
county to look after its local ticket. He .
talked about the way in which the votes :
could be taken; it was agreed that we should
sign the names of soldiers and officers and
j send them home to have the local tickets
1 filled in; I made out small papers; I signed
the names of soldiers on quite a number
! of them; I cannot tell what names we signed;
the papers are in the bundle now on the
table; I did not sigu the names of office .'B,
but Donohue signed any quantity of them;
there was a large package of these papers
left with ine, which I destroyed; that puck
age contained over two hundred; Donohue
signed them all. The idea of forging ;
these papers was first suggested by a man
named Stephen Maxon; he is from the
; western part of the State of New Y'ork; I j
J do not known from what county; he is not
1 in the service; he is a State agent; I cannot
, say at what time it was first proposed to i
forge these papers, but it was, at most, two
weeks ago; I do net think there was any
body present but Donohue and myself when
Maxon first proposed to forge the papers; !
there was a man named S. M. Brundy in
' my office; he is now in New Y'ork; also, a
; man named 11. Newcorub; I neversawhim
j until he came there; he is a lawyer in Al
i bany; part of the forged papers were made !
iu my office, and part brought there; they !
were usually brought in a bundle, tied up; \
I do not know who brought them; I had no
letters from Peter Cagger except what |
where found in my desk; I never knew of j
any correspondence on this subject with '
General Farrell, the commissary of subsis
tence, except the package which you have;
the packages contained a lot of blank en
velopes an.l powers of attorney, with a
letter from General Farrell, marked ''confi
dential, which contained a list of the names
ol residents of Columbia county; 1 did not
let any one know that 1 destroyed the forged
papers left with me, but told uiy associate
that I sent them to different parts of the
State to be marked; a young man came
from Washington on Friday or Saturday
last, saving, if I had any spare blanks to
send them on to Washington; I aui not
certain that he did or did not say anything
about there being twenty men over there
who could attend to these matters: I do not
, know how many forged paper* were sent
j oft, tut i heard them say that they Sent j
! them from Washington by the dry-goods
box full; I do not recollect hearing them
j talk despairingly, but they talked quite
! jubilantly and confidently; i sent a package
| of forged papers to Gen. Farrell, with let
i ters.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 28. —The military
j commission to day resumed its investigation
;of the frauds in the vote of New York
j soldiers.
j Donohue was brought into court at about
feu o'clock. He had no counsel, but pro
i ceeded in his own behalf to object to the j
i jurisdiction of the court. The prisoner
; pleaded guilty of his having signed certain
• blanks with the panic of (J. S. Arthur,
\ Cupt. and A. A. G , and none others; and,
j as it did not appear that he was an officer
; of the State id' .Yew York, or of the I tii
ted States, there was, he contended no
; crime committed.
j ADDRESS OK THE JUDGE ADVOCATE.
It appears in this case that the defend
ant, Kdward Donohue, dr., a young man
: connected with the New York Central
| Railroad —a road to th se who live in the
.city ol New \ ork almost synonymous with ,
j treason has for the last two or three weeks
! been engaged in one of the most gigantic
| frauds ever attempted to be perpetrated oo j
| tbis nation—a fraud which, if it shall be
successful, will, in my opinion, have pro !
dueed a disruption of our entire country,
and our war for the preservation of the
L'nion will be practically at an end, and
i useless.
It appears from the evidence of the two
witnesses produced before you, that on one
occasion, when a Republican, who happened
to hear something that was said by one ol
the State agents of the State of New York, \
that frauds were being perpetrated, went
to the office of the State agent in this city, j
he found him willing and ready to uiake ;
false votes, and prudently presented him
I self as one of the party they were working
| for, ingratiated himself into their confi
I deuce, and was allowed to see the working
j of their party.
It appears that the regular blanks for sol
diers forged, the names of the officers who
are purporting to swear the soldiers are !
written out by one party, the names of the
! soldiers who cast the vote, by another, and
still a third one, who fills up the blanks 1
1 hese are then left either sealed or unsealed, j
( with the electoral ticket of the party which
! they represent, and as the first witness j
: testified to you, several dry goods boxes j
full of such votes have already left the city
of Washington.
At that time it will he borne in mind that
1 Edward Donohue was iu Washington. He !
| came to this city. How is this statement
I as compared with his accomplice, Edward j
j Newcomb, and with that of the first wit
■ ness, Mr Ward? Was it they who in- j
duced him to commit this fraud, or did he i
, induce them? Does Newcomb say that
| Ward asked him, or was it Donohue who !
; asked him to write these letters?
He found Donohue in full blast, writing
: as fast as he could; sometimes the name of ■
j a soldier and sometimes of an officer; some- 1
times giving one rank and sometimes another;
j the other cne filling up their names, and
i still a third one the full blank. Thus, the
persons around this table, in the course of
Sunday a'ternoon, filled up to the number !
of nearly a hundred; and, if three persons
j could in one afternoon manufactur some
one to two hundred such fraudulent votes, '
what" could rio f twenty men similarly em ;
ployed for two weeks effect?
The enormity of the fraud was appalling.
The Judge Advocate continued by dwel-j
ling upon the keinousness ot the offence. !
j ''Here,'' he said, "was a fraud that might
■ well call for the infliction of the severest
penalty known to the court. The most sa
cred right ot the brave uien who are absent
from their homes, perilling their lives in
the face of the enemy to uphold our liber- |
] ties, is invaded, and the votes are fraudu- '
lently sought to be given against the cause !
for which they have been perilling their j
lives. Whilst absent in the field, these
plotters at home seek to east the ballots of
these brave men without their consent, and
whilst they cam ot be present to speak for
themselves, or defend their rights This j
prisoner, who, though one of a numerous
family ot children, cannot show that he
has even one brother iu the field, uphold
ing the flag of his country, is here proven !
to have corresponded with others to defraud
our brave soldiers of their exercise of the
sacred elective franchise A crime so
enormous as this calls for vigorous punish
j merit, and he hesitated not to say it merit
ed the extreme penalty of death."
CONDUCT OF THE PRISONER.
During its delivery the prisoner was
evidently more than ever impressed with &
sense of his critical position, and at the
conclusion of the Judge Advocate's ad
dress, left the court in charge of the guard
in a manner strikingly in contrast with
the bold and defiant air with which he en
tered it in the morning.
'J lie court room was now cleared, and the
commission proceeded to deliberate upon
• the case. The commission were only about
half an hour coming to their decision,
1 when the doors were re-opened and the
I court adjourned.
I Such rascality needs no comment.
