John Seott's Ku-Klux lteuort 2 __--- - Twenty of the most prominent citi zens of Spartanburg county, South Car olina, among whom are the United States Commissioner of Internal Iteve- nue, the 'United States Assessor, the Probate Judge, the Sheriff, the Clerks of the Court, the County Itepresenta - Lives in the Legislature, and other Re publicans, have addressed a letter to Senator John Scott, stating that, after diligent inquiry, they have been unable to hear of a single outrage committed in the county since his committee left it. They assert, in contradiction to the re port which he made to President Grant and the Cabinet, that the country is in a condition of profound peace and quiet• Mr. Scott's report affidavits were pub lished, stating that numerous gross out rages had been perpetrated since he left. Taking these affidavits to be true, Sen ator Scott urged the immediate declara tion of martial law, and the abolition of civil government in Spartanburg coun ty and other parts of the Slate. We used to think John Scott was an honest and narrow-minded political bigot, and we are disposed to adhere to our original estimate of his character, notwithstanding the fact that we have been seriously templed nt times to doubt 116i:honesty, by certain things which Have occurred since he was elected Sett- :tor. His career as n country attorney in a small country town, and the char acter of his practice, were not, calculated to expand a mind which was naturally contracted. Its owed his elevation to the United States 1.-;enate, not to any qualities of statesmanship, fir he had never displayed anything of the kind, but solely to the fact. that the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company Wanted to give one of its most obsequious servants a seat in that body. I f John Scott had not been a salaried attorney of a gigantic corporation his I sine would never have been mentioned in connection with the United States Senate. Thomas A. Scott owned a majority of a Republican Legis lature, and he chose to make John Scott a United States Senator. But for that the Chairman of the Ku-Klux Commit tee would have lived on in obscurity in the sleepy old town of liuntingdon. John Scott has done little that is a credit to Pennsylvania since he took his seat in the Senate, and has only suc ceeded in attracting a small and unen viable notoriety by his connection with the Ku-Klux Committee. lie either believes every silly tale that is told in his hearing, or elsd he is ready to record lies for the sake of producing political effect. In other words he is either fool ishly credulous or purposely dishonest Viewed in either light he appears to disadvantage, and is far front doing credit to the great State of Pennsylva nia. A Reform Ticket. The Convention which assemble , . Temperance Hall, full proceedings 0, which we publish elsewhere, was a very respectable gathering, whether considered in point of numbers or it reference to the character of the del gates. Many of those preset!' o strenuous advocates of a prohibitory liquor law, but the Convention wisely took a wider departure. Of the resolu tions adopted but one refers Lo prohibi. lion. The rest have reference to othe questions which all must regard as coin ing clearly within the proper pr! of political action. The gross which have crept into the Republic., party of Lancaster county were freely denounced, as they deserve to be, and a ticket W 11.4 put forward which presents a marked contrast to that which was nominated by a perversion of the Craw ford County System. Such of the can didates as were deemed to be good men and fairly nominated at the Republican primary election, were endorsed, and the creatures of the corrupt Rings were very promptly and prmierly re pudiated. William Spencer, one of the nominees for Assembly, Ise well-known Democrat, a man of the highest Integri ty, who has been tried hi important of glues by the people or Lancaster enmity, and who won golden opinions from men of all parties by a faithful mid conscien tious discharge of every duty devolving upon halm. The other candid,- - Assembly are wellknow•n but in privateand public life they pre. sent such a contrast to the creatures who have been set up by the Ring that they deserve to receive the support of every decent and right-mlnded Repub lican voter. Abram Shank, named as a Reform candidate for District Attor ney, is a lawyer of ability, and u mar of unquestioned integrity. His elect! would insure the conduct of OW in a manner well calculated to reform abuses which have been much com plained of in the past both by the pro fession and the public. We can not see what there is In John B. Livingston to commend lilin to any body of men who profess to be earnestly seeking reform. ire certainly does not possess such qualities us the people of Lancaster county should Beek In a can .. •, dldate for President Judge. Neither by nature or acquirements is he lilted for ~such a.position. Are You Registered?? That Is a question every .Democrat should ask himself and put to his neigh bor. Look over the list. -Do so at once. • See that your name is properly entered and then look for the names of your • Democratic neighbors—lf a single name Is missing take the. proper steps to have It placed on the roll. Do this without delay, as by so doing you will save trouble on election day and help to swell the Democratic vote. Remember that a full Democratic vote on the 2d Tuesday of October will insure the elec tion of McCandless and Cooper by a large majority. Think how much de ' " . vith a -111. A County Ticket. The Democratic County Committee determined, yesterday, that it would not at present call a Convention for the purpose of settling a Democratic Coun ty Ticket, but that it mould leave the members of the ;party free to vote for any good men.who should be preiented as independent candidates for the suf frage of the people. The idea was that a ticket labeled Democratic would have no chance of success in this strongly Re publican county, and that the only way to defeat the miserable candidates who adorn the Republican ticket from head to foot, was by coalescing with the many members of the Republican party who will vote for good men for office in preference to bad ones, although the latter may happen to be declared regu larly nominated by the party orgauiza- tion. The Reform Convention has put into the field a ticket, which is vastly supe rior in Its material to that which makes up the regular Republican ticket. This Convention, however, made the grand mistake of heading its ticket with the Republican candidate for Judge, and is already punished therefor by the action of the Republican County Committee ; which body has peremptorily ordered its nominees to withdraw from the Re form ticket. If they fail to do this they will be 'summarily displaced from the Republican ticket, and their places be filled by the candidate for their posi tions who received the next highest number of votes at the primary elec tions. Under these circumstances it cau hardly be supposed that the regular Republican candidates will long hes itate aboutthe propriety of withdrawing from the Reform ticket; and the build ers of the latter will have to cast about them for new material to fill the gaps in their structure. Mr. Livingston, we have no doubt is in a brown study as to what he should do in regard to declining the " Reform" nomination. He doubtless lenounces as impertinent the direction the Republican Committee that he I wash his hands of the It , formers Lks it hard that lie should be re privilege of picking up votes he can get them. He views with considerable dismay the prospect of having his place upon the Republican ticket tilled by Col. Patterson, should he decline to obey the command of the official representatives of his party. But on the other hand he is said to have sent u gushing answer to the Temperance Committee, which lid tressed him as to his views prior to the - elections, and in case of his de their nomination, lie greatly .0 effect of the publication of his letter claiming them as a band of brothers. He is very anxious to meet some one who will advise him of the amount of backbone in the Republican Committee, and whether they really would remove him from their ticket, should he treat their demand with si lent contempt. His friends say they would not dare to do it, and perhaps they are right. Let hint stick and put them to the test. We took occasion the other day to state our belief that Mr. Livingston was not the candidate for a "Reform" Convention to select for President Judge; for he has not the faintest shadow of a qualification for that high office, except that he is hon est and a gentleman. 'Phis Con vention likewise made a serious mis take in identifying itself with the Temperance movement,th rough a reso lution endorsing the State Temperance ticket. This was very unwise action in a body,which desired to conciliate for its nominees the support of all those citi zens of Lancaster county who are dissat isfied with the corruption and wrong doing of the leaders of the Republican organization of the county. It has rob bed what otherwise would have been a very strong Reform movement, of a vast deal of its strength, and it has ren dered it advisable—to get out a full Re form vote—that the hottest Republicans of the county, who are dissatisfied with the way in which they are being ruled to their ruin by their leaders, should institute a new Reform movement, which will totally ignore all politics and will rally to its support all, of whatever shade of opinion, whose sole desire is to be served ny honest and capable offi cers. It would be a sad thing if such a ticket could not receive a majority of the votes of the citizens of Lancaster county. S 1(1 and thin fused thc ==i htened at the Reform Moveme The inquirer thinks the Convention which assembled in Temperance Hall ought to have confined its attention to the question of prohibition entirely. It berates the delegates for making reform in the local politics of Lancaster county the chief subject of their platform. It denies that the ticket put forward is a emperance ticket, and declares tlia to candidates named are not prohild tionisLs. All that only shows that 11 Convention aimed a blow at politic corruption which is severely felt. TI Inquirer evidently fears that some the pet candidates of :the Icing will beaten. It is to be hoped tLyti, its a prehensions are well grounded. The people of Lancaster county wo , show great good sense if they sho unanimously repudiate Sensenig's can didates fur District -Attorney, Prison ieeper, Legislature, and oilier offices Po send men like I.l.unseeker, Burk older and 6atehell to Ilarrisbl would be a diNgraze to Lancaster comi ty. We hope there may be enough i ode pendentltepu Weans found in the county o teach the Ring-masters a lesson. If hey are permitted to go unpunished his year, a larger pool Will be ' ' next year, and corruption am will again determine who the Oared candidates under the Crawford County System. The swearing of elect tion officers will elteet no reform. tin mly wuy to break the Ring down is for wriest Itepublleans to defeat Its eandl lutes. I f thdt remedy should lie prop- crly npplled once, It would cure the ev doubt the inquirer wu been delighted to see the Con von tit) connne Ito attention exclusively to th subject of prohibition. Thou It woul have rested easy In the assurance thi the ticket set up by the Ring would be sure of' LICeeNH. Many of the best Re publicans in Lancaster county will not agree with our cotemporary. They will see In its action a chance to administer a deserved rebuke to the corrupt men who have prostituted the Crawford County iSystem to base and selfish purposes. Whether enough of them will vote against the Ring candi dates to defeat them, remains to be seen. If we are at liberty to ,Judge from the tone of the inquirer we should say that It dreads such a result. We sin cerely hope that its apprehensions may prove to be well grounded. We hope so because the honor of the county and the purity of the ballot-box is at stake, and not because we expect to derive any po litical advantages from such a result. It Is a matter which concerns the Repub lican party principally, but lu which every good citizen must feel an Interest without respect to party. Election Officers Nothing is more important than to have shrewd,. resolute men to conduc elections. The raseallties practised against each other by Republicans at the recent primary election, shows that they will cheat if they get a chance.— We have beard it said by tepublicans who ought to know, that Mr, Atlee was never elected Mayor, but that he WAS counted in. Let the very sharpest and most resolute Democrats be chosen for election Officers hereafter—men who can neither be cheated nor intimidated. The office of Judge or Inspector of elections, Is not one to be coveted, but it is one no D • mocrat ought to refuse to MI. The Folly of Intolerance , It appears by a telegram from Santa Fe, New lielico, that the Democrats and Republicans in the town of La Me lilla, in the Southern part of that terri tory, have been foolish enough to per mit their differences of opinion to em broil them in strife and bloodshed. A political canvass is pending in the tes ritory, and an excited feeling prevails. According to the accounts received, the excitement culminated a few days since in a fight between the opposing parti zans, in which many lives were lost. It does not appear which side struck the first blow, and this will probably never be ascertained, as in such cases the evi dence is always contradictory. The ac count merely says that the same day having been selected by both parties for "demonstrations," processions were formed and paraded, when " a pistol shot was fired and a general fight ensu ed." Several were killed, and among them one of the candidates for office. This is all the more deplorable as the report says that the leaders endeavored to avoid disturbance. But in the state of feeling that appears to have existed, the firing of the pistol was like throw ing a torch into a barrel of gunpowder. An explosion was certain to follow. The incident is not without its lesson. It teaches the folly of intolerance. II there is any jeeliug unworthy a free people it is want of toleration. The man wholaims for himself the right to form brown opinions, and does not fully andeely accord the same right to every other man, is a bigot or a fool, and is unfit for the privilege of self government; and he who would perse cute or do violence to another for a dif ference of opinion is a tyrant. We sup pose there are a very few who would acknowledge such a feeling. And yet + how many there are during political campaigns, and at other times, by vio lent denunciation and insulting abuse, betray that prejudice which is the parent of intolerance, and arouse those passions which it requires only the opportunity , to lead to conflict and bloodshed ? Where there is genuine, broad-mind ed tolerance no such results call happen. Men may be sincere, earliest, enthusi astic, but sincerity, earnestness, and en thusiasm are not intolerance. And the !nail who has all these will respect them in another. Such 'nen will argue aid persuade, and give reason for the faith that is in them, but they never seek to remove tile argument from the arena of reason to that of force, or to revile because they cannot convince. No doubt there has been much bitter crini i nation and recrimination between the ' contending parties at the scene of the recent fight, and the consequence is hatred instead or conviction, and blood shed instead of conversion. This is the height of folly. To no people is passion more dangerous and calm reason more essential in political affairs, than the people of this country, and the surest wry to allay the one and preserve the other is by the practice of toleration. The Escape of Evans We are now informed that Governor (;eary's " satisfactory agent" cannot be found. After weeks of delay a warrant was issued, and a requisition made by the Governor of this State upon the Governor (il . New York, where the em bezzler was reputed to be concealed.— The officer who bore the ruplisition has returned with the report that Evans cannot be found, and it is stated that further chibrts to discover him are Con sidered useless. This lame and impor tant conclusion cnly serves to confirm the suspicion, that prominent Republi can State officials are closely connected with the thefts of Evans. The delays which were made after the exposure of the robbery, showed that those whose duty it wa.s to protect the tax-payers of I the State, feared the exposures W or would be made if Evans should be ar rested on a criminal charge and brought to trial. He was given plenty of time to make his escape to Europe. There is nu reason to believe that further at tempts will be made to bring Evans to justice, but the people have a remedy. Let them elect 6eneral 'McCandless to the office of .Auditor -general, and this and other frauds of the past will be ex posed, while a stop will be put to such things at once. The election of 1)r. Stanton, who is a mere creature of the corrupt State Treasury Ring, would give those who are connected with Evans surely for the past and security for the future. Local. Opt' on A bandoned. The Temperanve men of New York lave put a State ticket in the .leld, old have boldly declared in favor of eparate political action. In their plat 'orb they denounce both of the exist ng political parties, but the most re markable clause in the document is : declaration of hostility to the idea which recently met with so much favor, that the votes of counties or towns should he authorized boy law to determine whether licensee . for lite sale of liquor shall be granted or not, 'Tice conven tion declared that the State has no right, either directly or indirectly, to legalize the traffic iu intoxicating liquors, and, nonsequently, no right to endow any number of citizens with the power to make that legally right which is moral ly wrong. That seems to us to be a log ical conchtsunl, and we suppose we may expect the Teniperanc.e men of Penn sylvania to abandon the idea of local option, which they strove to have pass ed into a law last Winter. TI H.: result in California demonstrates the folly of carrying factious notions into all important political campaign. The Democracy were split up into three or four contending factions, and some of these sought to ruin the party when they found they could not rule it. When the masses hear the eaulting cheers of the Radicals, they will be sorry enough for the folly it is too late to mend.— Next year we may expect the party to he united again, and, whenever the De mocracy of California are so, they can carry the State. The result of the re cent. election will leach the masses of the party a salutary lesson, and the un toward result in the tiolden Slate will furnish a lesson to tile Democracy else where, which may produce golden fruit hereafter Pentovratie party in the State Sen ate last Wieter ,Jolettted the Local Option hi I I.—/ifteriNbary Setae ./eurnei. That is not exactly true. The Repub-, limn Senators could have had tl,n3 bin which passed the House called up, and we happen to know enough Democrats would have voted for it to pass it if the Republicans had been a unit for it. It is true, however, that a majority of the Democratic Senators did not regard the bill which passed the House with favor. Some of the bast temperance men in the State were not satisfied with it. And now we have local option repudiated by the New York Stele Temperance Con vention. Will the Hairisberg Journal be good enough to make a note of that endorsement of I he action of our State Senate? THE nomination of John B. Living ston as Judge by the Convention which met in Temperance Hall shows one of two things. Either the Temperance men of that body have very short memories, or else they are . exceedingly forgiving. Last Winter John 4. ..ivingston went to Harrisburg and secured the licens ing by special act of Assembly of number of taverns which had failed to comply with the requirements of ex isting laws. Tim mischievous attempt to establish mixed schools of white and colored chil dren in Louisiana has resulted, as might have been anticipated,most disastrously. The 111-feeling created has destroyed the usefulness of the schools for both white and colored, the attendance is greatly reduced, and the expense of public instruction greatly increased. rolltlatl Reform In Lancaster County; There are multitudes of honest Re publicans in Lancaster county who are thoroughly convinced of the necessity which exists for a reform in the man agement of the party with which they have heretofore acted. Believing that' better nominations would be secured by a direct vote of the people, the bet ter class of Republicans were in duced to favor the adoption of what is familiarly known as the Crawford County System.. But it very soon be came apparent that political tricksters and corrupt men were able to manipu late an election, under the new system, with more certainty than they could "set up" a convention composed of delegates. The result has not been calculated to please the moral portion of the community. For weeks previous to every primary election the bar of every hotel has been made practically free to the public by the almost constant pres ence of candidates for the different county offices. One of the effects of the • Crawford County System in this com munity has been a great increase in drunkenness, especially in the rural dis tricts. To prove that the Crawford County System is a very poor way to make nom inations, it is only necessary to look at the men who have been successful un der it. It affords such opportunities for the perpetration of frauds that it has come to be generally believed, that can didates who may be favored by a cor rupt ring can always be " counted in." It is generally conceded that the recent primary election was unfairly conduct ed in very many places, and the candi dates who were declared to have had the highest number of votes are all regarded as rightfully entitled to a place on the Republican ticket. The consequence is that there is intense dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Republican party. IN hat it may result in we know not. There are those who predict that a re volt will be successfully inaugurated. We shall see whether there is enough lonesty in the party to render such a tug possible. The Auditor General's Report ---- The duties of the Auditor lieneralare very clearly dellned by the late which says: • The A uditor-t;eneral shall and oftener if necessary, examine, audit, adjust and settle all pliblieileCUlllas between the Commonwealth and the otricers of the reve nue, and all other persons entrusted with the receipt or poxse,sion f public and the accounts of all persons having claims against the Commowealth, his jurisdiction. as may be by law exe n epted from his jurisdiction. lie shall annually, in the month of December,: digest, prepare and report :o the Treasurer a list of all publie accounts which remain unsettled, and the reason therefor, and of all accounts oil which bal ances remain due the l'ounoou wealth, Which are not in course of recovery by law, and the reasons therefor. Ile shall take all such legal and eiplitable proileediugs as may be necessary or the prompt and efficient recovery of money or property which may be due the Comunin wealth, and for this purpose he may em ploy ally attorney he may deem proper, who linty be allowed such compensation as may be reasonable and just for his ser vices." Under every clause of this plainly written law, General 1 lartran ft stands clearly condemned for his conduct in reference to thelivans frauds. Ile allow ed Evans to keep in his possession for years hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to the State. Ile made no statement of this matter in his annual accounts, and gave no reason why the moneys were not paid into the Treas ury. Ile knew how the matter stood, and yet he took no steps to recover the amount which had been stoleit from the State. He Cannot plead ignorance, and he must stand condemned fur crim- • • - ival neglect of duty. If the people of Pennsylvania elect Dr. Stanton, tlo may reasonably expect to be robbed without let or hinderance. He is the chosen tool of the corrupt ring which surrounds the State Treasury, and was selected by the men who compose that organization. That is not and cannot be denied. Let every; voter remember that when lie goes to the polls. Radical Robberies Turn which way we will evidence, of thefts perpetrated by Republican offi cials stare us in the face. The south has been plundered in every conceiva ble shape by a set of greedy wretches whose only aim has been to make money out of official position. The record presented is a fearful one. Ilut, says the Harrisburg Patriot, the rob beries perpetrated under the auspices of the Republican party are not confined to the South. If we turn to New York, where nine-tenths of the import duties of the country are collected, we lied that thin merchants there are black mailed to such an extent by the Cus tom House officers that the Chicago merchants find it cheaper t.o import their goods directly through the Cana dian port, Montreal, than to purchase iu New York ! If we cast our eye iu the direction of the Internal Revenue ser vice, we find that its collectors ire de faulters to the amount of upwards of , Two Millions! If we direct our atten tion to the I'ost !Vice Department, we discover that tile e.;:penditures of that department are Inn limn US fli.Cal as they were ten years ago! If we look in upon Congress, we see an indiscrimi nate pillage of millions upon millions of acres of the peoples' lands, divided be tween corrupt railroad corporations and the members themselves. In short, in whatever direction we may turn our gaze we detect the hand of some office holder lo somebody's pocket Every body knows this; everybody sees this, here, there and everywhere. Every body sees increasing, unlimited taxa tion starling him in the face. Crime— hideous crime—increasing with fearful rapidity—nlemoralizatiun paralyzingOw ellbrts of patriotism. In this fearful crisis, in the moral and political existence of a nation, where, is the Republican press? Where are the courts and their grand j I'4'6 Where Is the pulpit? And where is that, high and noble American spirit, which in the days of the heroic Jackson, sternly kept at bay the insidious udvunres of dis honor and corruption, Tits: Radicals of Philadelphia are buil• ly seared at the prospects of the ensuing election, and are resorting ht every scheme to avoid defeat.

In other words, there is a deliberate proposition pend ing to colonize a large number of voters in the yard there, and Mr. Robeson • baste,us to accede to the request. The Omaha and, uinnebang are already at the Philadelphia yard, and other United States vessel's will shol'tly J.),6 or dered to that point. THE Temperance and independent I Reform Convention which met PP Thursday was well attended. The pro ceedings and the ticket nominated will be found elsewhere. The delegates acted together with considerable har mony, the principal cause of contention being the extreme devotion of Dr. Gib bona to the Republican party. He is one of those extremely loyal patriots who staid at home to abuse DetimeTata, instead of going to tight rebels where there was a chance of being hit by a bullet.

How the Bodice's of Lancaster County Cheated Each Other. Gross Frauds at the Primary Eltction lloviLpr:Gateheli Maltip tainted Startle. Rascality in the First Ward Hew Plenynne the Fifti Joh inioethn was Swindled in The Express of Saturday evening makes some very damaging exposures in refer ence to the gross frauds practised at the re cent primary election. In Marti() township, Dr. Gatchell, tho gentleman who was formerly repudiated for his infamous course in the Legislature, had complete control of the election and made the returns to suit. himself. His first step was to make up a tally list long enough to cover any requir ed amount of false counting. It is be- lieved that not more than 130 voters were at the polls. but the Doctor returns 243, being more than. were polled by both par ties_ combined last year. Here, then, is a presumptive fraud of about 100 votes to start with. Of the votes pretended to be polled, Dr. Gatehell is returned as receiving all but two, which the Expre,s3 asserts it is prepared to prove a fraud by living NV it- EleSafli. We ii.tote:it Mr what follows. It says: But, luckily, we have direct evidence of the frauds perpetrated. It is asserted by a responsible party that the Judge waseall ing out names of vote the clerks re cording the same, when no voters were at the window. But the frauds did not stop here. When the votes were counted, the fol lowing were the returns for certain candi dates,as takeu down by responsible parties, with the figures as they stand on the re turns handed in to the Return Judges at Lancaster At the Polls. In Lancaster, D. R. Burkholder... 5 59 H. M. Engle 47 eo. Whitson ...... 53 Sit J. W. il.leutzer 35 65 J. P. Weise ......... h'2 In examining the official reams, we find manifest evidence of some of the frauds having been committed alter the returns was made out, the alterations appearing in a different hand and written in different ink. Thus, in the vote for Burkholder, the re in the word live was struck out and fly added, thus—ti- U nine. In Whitson 's veto the letters lii were erased, t't•gh insert ed thus—cigh trthree. In Mentzer's vote, the letters thir were erased, riyh written in, to road thus —eigh•ty- live. And iu Weise's veto the word Neu was erased and one inserted, and . ttity-taco added after the word hundred, making it read thus—one hundred fifty tire. These alterations were made in Lancaster, because certain of the Ringmasters were dissatisfied with the incliner in which Dr. Gatchell and his man Friday hail done their work, and threatened to "throw hint overboard" if Burkholder, Whitson and Mentzer shore not counted up to tally with their Sunday morning estimates of the general result? Again: When the polls closed, it was generally admitted, and two of the election officers subsequently affirmed it, that, Elias Ailment tied a majtirity of nearly two to one over John B. Hess for County Com mittee. But Mr. Iless being one of Dr. Hatchell's right-hand lieu in the work of the day, the returns gave Autuent SO votes, and Hess tO4, stud the respectable citizens of Martic desire us to say that the man who will assume to represent them in our next County Committee was not put there by the people but by the Judge til the election, aided by himself and Dr. (tau:hell. lloping to successfully cover up those outrageous !rands, the ballot-hos was not left at the Justice's office nearly opposite the polls, where it had been deposited on former occasions, but was spirited away and could not be found when winded fur examination. The outrageous hands in Columbia and " Itrytown" have already been reported, being sufficient alone to change the result on the spice of Prison-Keeper. In the First Ward, Lancaster, we are assured by respon sible parties who will be prepared, it called upon, to substantiate the tact, that forty "shot t tickets' in the interest of the "ring" were put in by one individual, which must have been done with the connivance or through the negligent,: of the election uffi oers. That these officials were guilty in some way is attested by the feet that the re turn was altered after it was made out, so as to give Mr. Mentzer tie in place of which appeared in the original, one citizen of the Ward being prepared to prove that he alone had made at least that many votes fur him,and threatening to expose the whole fraud if the return was nut changed ! That there was tampering with this return is also manifest from the appearance of the papers. The alteration already referred to is not only apparent on the paper, lint the return is made out on a blank of last year, the printed names M . the old candidates having been cot off amp the tut.es of the how on, written in. They evidently had so much trouble to " fix up" the thing at that poll that they run out of blanks!, In the 4th Ward the rascality was boldly perpetrated outside, When it is alleged a crowd of drunken fellows collected, who took possession of the polls and run in every loose fellow w how they could lied ready to offer a vote, no matter what his polities sit lit be or where his residence.— The election officers look any vote which might be offered, and the result is said to have been a faree not worthy to be called an election. Such is WO record of honesty and decency whichthe ltelelhlleall party of Lancaster county has made for itself, Mid we ask every good citizen to look at it as it stands reeurdvil by a Radical news aver. Free Speech in liatrristearg. On Saturday evening Rev. Pelmet Co 'tube, a Republican temperango lecturer of unlimited volubility and assurance, held forth in the court-house to a small audi ence. The points discussed were: 1. This movement [the nomination of a State Temperance ticket] is in violation of the plan adopted by the May Convention. 2. That it is intended to benefit the Dem ocrath• party. 3. That it will seriously injure the Tem penm co cause. Hee. COOMbe'S address was marked by a decided partiality for the Radical party and unmeasured condemnation of the Illea instrumental in placing in nomination a State Temper:owe ticket. Its length was about two hours. Before closing., the speaker invited Col - one( James Black, of Laneaster, who eves in the audience, to reply te him. Mr. Black :incepted the proposition with alac rity and proceeded to meet the argionent.s advanced. lie had takey, a synopsis of the abbess and was about replying to every important point in Rev.

Scarcely had he opened Ids mouth, how ever, until the gas was shut tilt and the speaker and audience were in Cimmerian darkness. ;rest confusion followed this unexpected and reprehensilde movement. A number of advocates of the temperance ticket became greatly exasperated and in Mud tones denounced the dark proceeding as cowardly. Rev.

Mr, Mack ceased his remarks, and the audience dispersed. lfelore the court-house bad been vu sled ninny angry words were ex changed by the friends and opponents of the temperance ticket, some of which cul minated in blows.

Frauds In the 2nd Ward of Columbia During the days of the Spartan Republic when Lycurges was the lawgiver, children who were destined for war, were accustom ed to expose themselves to the severest Punishments, in case they failed of that dexterity which was enacted of them.- They would craftily and warily creep into gardens, or to the common tables and steal what they could lay their hands upon. If caught they were severely flogged—not for the theft—but for the want of dexterity in accomplishing the feat. (There could really be no thefts or robberies in that Re public because all was in common.) As an instance of the extreme caution ex ercised by the Spartan boys, it is related in history that one of them stole a fox and con cealed it under his garment and suffered it to tear out his bowels with its teeth and claws, chosing rather to die than to be de tected. Any lunkhead can steal, but get. ting away undetected is quite another mat ter. The officers of the late primary elec tion in the Second Ward did their work so bungingly that they deserve not only exposure, but punishment likewise. Alter, as they thought, on the evening of the elec tion when the votes were counted, they had covered up their tracks. One of the officers of the election who is known to have stuffed the box with at least twenty tickets, and directed the clerk to write down twenty names, all of whom were members of the Smith, Brown and Jones families, took the list of voters and put it in his pocket and refused to permit a citizen to copy the names. This of itself is enough to condemn them. When theßeturuJ edges met in Lancaster, and a citizen of the Ward presented a prime facie case of fraud, Martin Tripple of Martic (a tool of Gatchell) moved that a committee be appointed to in vestigate the matter. Adam Geist of Church town, and John Johns (candidate for Clerk of Prison) of Lancaster township, were ap pointed on the committee. As soon :Is they retired from the room where the Return Judges sat, the chairman rushed with Dr. Gatchell to the side-room attached to the Commissioner's office, where they had an earnest and hurried private conver sation. When the committee met in a j ury room up stairs, it soon became evident that there would be no effort made to ferret' out the fraud. When the author of the protest got hold of the list of voters and com menced to copy the igunes, the chairman took it (ruin him, although but a few min utes were required to complete the task.— After several ineffectual efforts were inado to complete the copying, the chairman de clared upon his word of honor that an op . portunity would to given to complete the work. The eolllllliLlee was aSSUrell that all of their expenses to Columbia would be paid, and that the evidence of so illleSSeti there could be produced the same day, and the committee could return to IdMeaster on the following morning. The committee refused to say whether they would go to Colunibia or nut, and adjourred over until the afternoon. Ulle of the conspirators and a party to the fraud in Cu! um bia, went to see Jack)NVeiso and told Mtn that they would thecae out the box if it would 41. a hint. No person asked to have the box thrown out, lad a correct return of the votes, wiliest woe td clearly sites" that Weise had from eighty to oneiltundred majority. When tile chairman of the cote' mittee went into the Court-Room to report. he was thanked on both sides by two of the Columbia conspirators, one of whom ab stracted the list of voters, which be knee,' would damn them it' it tell into bone,' hands. It is not yet too late to in elistigai this fraud. The chairmau of the Reim Judges could re-convene them, or tlt County Committee which en t inst., could order 1111 investigate r Jack Weise could cause uu investiga ion, and if frauds eitough were proven o give him a majority of the legal votes, nothing could prevent his name front being placed upon the ticket. 11 an ill.

It will re• quire something more than the affidavits of parties who were taken to Lancaster and their expenses paid during two terms 01 Court, (some of whom were taken out of jail) by the man they sought with alacrity to injure—to get up a diversion of public sentiment in the community which was outraged by these: villians who have committed this great crime upon the peo ple. They may pile affidavits mountain high which does not allect these frauds, anti they will not be relieved one iota from their responsibility as ballot-boa smilers. We again repeat that it is the duty of Re ' publicans to knife every man whom they know has been placed upon the ticket, by fraud. • • - • Ifitllot-hfix Ca Illdt• 110111 Ih. gti eastlng 4,11 filth fin oil I:nosv, Ft, .101, that /r,JI OREELEY ON GRANT What Horace Maid at (ii lea loraeo Greeley is making a tour or the West.

Mr. Wentworth adds that throughout the whole West, anti particularly in, there is a quiet feeling of contempt for the nepotist than cannot he overcome. Both Senators Trumbull and Logan are openly and avowedly Grant's enemies, the latter particularly so. Gen. Logan says his whole influence shall be directed to prevent Grant's renomination.

Brinkerhoof, a prominent Republican leader in the State of Ohio, has written a letter to the Cincinnati Orimercia/ in which he takes the ground that Grant can not be re-elected, assigning the dfollowing substantial reasons for the conviction which ho so freely expl7eases First, Because he cannot be elected against a prudent nomination made by the Democrats. When I say prudent I mean for example, such men as Salmon P. Chase, John Quincy Adams, 11. Gratz Brown, or Win. S. 0 rosbeck, with a Vice President and a platform to orrespond. Of course the Democratic party may play the fool as it did in 1934 but it never wise to presume upon the idiocy of your opponent. . - To be elected, Gen. Grant must carry all of the three States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and he cannot carry either of them as against either of the men I have named. Why? Simply because in every township, ny, in every schoolidistrict, there are one or more Republicans who won't vote for him. The reasons why these men are in this frame of mind are various, but you may rest assured they have reasons, for they are among the most intelligent men in their respective localities. Let us classify them. Class No. 1 have a profound distrust of military Presidents per se. They know perfectly well that a purely military edu cation slid a purely military life like that of Gen. Grant are anti-Republican and anti- Democratic, and absolutely unlit a man for the administration of civil affairs iu a Gor eruinent like ours. As illustrations, tiny point to the President's military staff; to his Cabinet surroundings ; to his disregard of political forces in his distribution of on tronage ; to his nepotism: to his San Do -lingo policy; to his New York, Miasma id Louisiana imbroglios; and to a lilol and and ono other thing - e, which a 111111 ,red in civil ailairs would never think t sing. Gem Grant, to this present time, proba ly, has never voted. a Republican ticket, r any other ticket, in last, for it is the shit as well as the inclination of military nen not to vote. Ido not blame them, is their interest as Well astheir ud ucouiun d taboo civil affairs, but this isnot the soil n which statesmen grow. Si, much for hiss No. 1.
