ELECTION FRAUDS
The statement made in Congress by Mr
Brooks, tit New York City, that POO,OOO hio

New York and Philadelphia to care• the fail

Morgan, who lives in New York, has Mkt

their commons to answers questions.in Teta
to these frauds The Senator Ayell
knows that he would not only criminate him
self, but condemn his party. Hence he was
intentionally absent.

any election purposeq, while the Radicals
had it in abundance, indicates very condo.

immediately after the return•of the regiment,
meetings were held by itf members in Cam

were passed dennuncingiJohn W. Geary as
'an arrant coward." Tffese meetings were
publicly assembled in the Court Houses of the
two counties, and the proeiedirigs were pub

En. OnsEnvon—Dear Sir :—As our git

will be called on to select a candidate for
that dike, would it not be weD, on account
of our • recent defeats, to be very cautious in
that selection •
- We want a reliable DCGIOCIat in the first
place ; next, one whose availability will be
an assurance of success. Where can such a
' , eanuidatibe found ? Gen. Cass, of Pittsburgh,
comes newel the man' than any other man
now talked of for that position.
As you are swami', be has been a candidate
for the nomination in several of the last Con
" ventions, and was a candidate for Nice Presi
dent at the Chicago Convention. He has al
ways been well supported by the western
past of the State, and will come to the - hart
Cravention with that portion of the State
almost unanimous for him ; also, the _Juni

Cass's connections with the leading railroad
lines in the State, if properly, managed for
him, still he certainly a strong spoke in his
wheel, and, if he can control them, will cer
tainly elect him over Geary. There IS one
thing iu his favor, and that is, he has no rec
ord to defend, and we can go into a kaa
yam for Lim with some show of success.

Ludowiekljenkins was a poor man, having
once been publisher of a paper in Erie,
Three years before our truthfulstory, opens,
he had met Jemima Simpkins fir her uncle's
house, built by S. M. Lytle, of lumber bought
of Brawlei Ball, *here be Ya'a.4 employed
to straighten out some intricate accounts;
for Ludowick, you must know; gad received
a thorough education at the Erie and Water
ford Academies, and finished up with a
course at the Erie Commercial College.
Meeting Jemima at the Free Reading
Room of the Y. M. C. Association, he had
fallen in hive with her, but the difference in
their social positions had prevented him
from even hinting the existence of the ten
der passion. And now he had been seeking
that bane and blessing of humanity—money
—as conductor on the Phila. it Erie R. R.
But fortune (whose dice are loaded) came .
not at his call, and he was as poor as ever.
Even his clothing was worn and threadbare,
(he had not purchased of John Gensheimer
tt Son ;) and his boots in the last stages of
delapidation, but in passing up State street,
he stopped at Eichenlaub's, and got another
pair; then finding that he could purchase a
suit at a low price, be invested at Frank
Wagner's, and emerged well satisfied — with
his bargain.
And why had he returned ? He asked
himself this question as he approached the
house, for be noticed Timothy Nipkins Just
entering Charley Nunn's Restaurant—a place
toward which Timothy was frequently at
tracted by the splendid oysters Charley al
ways keeps. Nipkins, unless rumor lied (she
generally does, and did in this case, as the
sequel will show,) was Jemima's accepted
lover. She had been seen twice in his com
pany, eital.4irne dressed in goods from' V.
and' Chnrchill . Co.'s, and furs from 3
and be - was known to be a deep ad.
wirer of her - beautiful Carla, bought at C
Kolb s, under Browit's Hotel.
And so the report had spread abroad that
J. B: Perkins would Aordy have the (ippon
tunity of furnishing cake, and H. li. Burgess
confectionery ihr the wettling. But what
matters this to Ltalowiek Jenkins? He had
come home, stopping . at John Harlow's
saloon for a glass of ale, on the way, to cause
this fine story to be disproved ; to lay his
heart and all that he had at Jetnima's feet,
(her gaiteri were front Bagleharfs) : mayhap,
he thOught, to rest his head on her lap (sh.•
bought her hoop Skirts front N. Cohen) or it
might be;thst, indignantly, she would slap
him in the face with ht elegant gloves tom
Walther's store.
Ludowick entered his mother home, after
gettifig shaved at A. Cloyat's,aa unexpected
but welcoine visitor. She was packing away
a lot of groceries froth Burton ct Griffith's,
bat, dropplogcrerything;stie rushed tci
brace him, tearing her dress, bought at 3for
*ion'', by stumbling, over ono of Mb*,
Shirk ds yilittelietid's superior parlor stoves.
But tittle reeked• she for this—her darling
boy had remised, wearing a cap from R. B.
Hunter's and a paper collar froth Baker, Os
theimer Co.'s clothing store.
The greetings over and the supper eaten,
the twain eat for along time on chairs: from
J. W. Ayers', talking of the events of the
closing year. Probably the excellent tea
which they had drank- - it came hum the
Western Oriental Tie store—may have
made them wakeld Be that uit vie, the
,•
year had gone out with a gust of taint "for
its dying breath," ere they sought I ;heir
room., the curtains of which had; been select
ed at P. lien riclea dry goods store.

Nipkins had just turned the adjoining,
corner, when Ludowiek Jenkins rang the
door bell, which was purchased at' (,co. L.
Hubbard's plumbing establishment.: Before_
it was answered he was taken with a violent
tit of coughing, but a little of Carter's Smart
Weed stopped it instanter, and when he was
adMitted he was all right. lie was ushered

(i or else she had on sonic of Knight &Beatty's
red paint) on receiving' him. herdia not
stop to inquire him the I.blush, but inabedit:
ately plunged into conversation..
After, souid preliminary' chit chat, t which,
like the talk of all lO'vers, is not worth re
