SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWX. Wednesday, Kovemb'r IT, ISO C. F. SCII WE I EK, ICtTOl 4M riOPKIRTO. President elect Garfield has re signed his seat 10 Congress. Gr.xEn.tL Garfield's old Congres Rionul district piled up 13,2.35 major ity for Lira, or 2;827 more than the largest it ever gave hini before." m The men who were arrested for forg ing the Chinese letter have confessed to the crime, and declare that the Detuo cratio organization paid them for their work. " Two Connecticut men bet on the question whether P. T. Barnum, the showman, was a brother of William H. Barnum. Phineaa wan written to on the subject, and answered that he thanked Heaven there was no nearer relationship than that of Adam." Last week the Democrat and Regis ter confessed that the Chinese letter had secured votes for Hancock in the following paragraph : Tho Cbinsse letter did the business on tbe Pacific slope. California and Nevada both voted tor Hancock." Will the Democrat and Register tell Its readers that the 44 Chinese letter " was a fraud, a forgery, and that the paper waa deceived wheu it gave in dorsement to the letter. The forged Chinese letter of tbe I'emocraej alleged that the letter bad teen written to il. L. Morey, but with in tbe past few days the Morey family, of Massachusetts, have been on the wit lies stand, and have testified tbat there has never been a member of the family by the name of II. L. Morey. The next thing in order will be to bring suit against tbe members of the Demo cratic National Committee, who bribed O'Brioe and Morey to swear to a lie as to II. L. Morey, the myth man, to whom the Democratic forgers said tbe letter was written. A National Crime. 'On Saturday mornic? last, the 13th inst, Judge Davis, of New York, ren dered a decision in the case of Ken ward rbilp, holding the defendant to answer before a jury in the ch irge of libel. The decision is very severe on Sir. Hewitt, upon whom, it euys, must rest the larger share of the respon aibility for the puMiiation. Judge Davis 6ays the llorey letter is clearly a forgery, and the evidence indicates a grave conspiracy t) accomplish a national crime, and points to con spirators of fir higher positions, of whom Philp may Lave been merely a tooL" The man Baniurn and Lis Demo cratic National Committee have the impudence to issue an address in re gard to fraud. Barnnra and his com mittee, if served right, should be eued for complicity in the issuing of the Chinese letter, and for obtaining, and paying men for false swearing in the courts of New York in regard to the forgery. Out upon the scoun drels who would perpetrate a forgery, and pay men to swear it throngh the courts, and then transform thorn Helves, as it were, into better people, and prefer charges of fraud, where it does not exist, against other people. Their cry of fraud is to 6crec-n them Belves, or rather to direct attention from their own dirty work. It is an old dodge, and is played in every community by comiuontst of bad eople. Stand up, Committee, and show yourselves. 44 A QUESTION' of veracity has arisen between Chairman Barnum and publish er Hart, of Truth. Hart swote before th court that be touk tLe Morey Chi nese letter to the Democratic national committee room, and upon the state ment of ptominent members of tbat committee tbat it was written by Gen era! Garfield, be (Hart) concluded to I publish it. barnum, iu bis address to the country disclaiming any knowledge of tbe Pbilp forgery and the perjury with which it was fortified, says that 44 No member of the committee ever saw tbe letter, or any copy or portion thereof, until after its publication, or was in anywise concerned therein, or gave any advice in reference thereto." Hart swore to his statement ; Barnum didu't swear to his. People can judge cf the relative value of the two state ments." T. W. Powell, who represents Lon don bondholders in the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, and Franklin B. Gowen, Presideut of tbe road, have engaged iu an interesting correspondence. Mr. Powell professes to be indignant over tbe fact that Mr. Gowen did not tell him that two direc tors, Messrs. Borie and McKean, owned interest in coal lands at the time the company bought the lands. Gowen claims that the obj-'OMons and criti isnis, as advanced by Powell, are based upon the theory, and paper book-keep iog of some one who ignores the prac tical operations at work against the management of the company, and tbat the objections urged against the owner hip of Borie and McKean as directors in lands that were bought by the com pany, aro of no consequence as com pared to the great advantages tbat will aoorue to tbe company through the pur chase of the property in question. Gowen has refused to bold further com munieation with Powell on the subject, and Powell wants the public to judge as to whether Gowen did or did not 44 pull the wool over his eyes," in which state of vision be made statements of endorsement of tbe board of directors vt tbe 44 Reading Company." The North American remarks tbat tbe report tbat the government of China i about to establish a telegraph line from Shanghai to Pekia is a matter of considerable siguinoanee. It is tbe en tering wedge of civilization aid pro gress, which will ultimately open the sealed book of the inner life of tbat giant empire, for it will undoubtedly be followed by raiiroad communication, which will enable enterprise to pene trate and develops that ten incognita, which has, without donbt, enormous capabilities and resources. Tbe close of tbe present century may be even more remarkable than tbe first four fjftbs of it, and that is saving a good deal. California's Legislature is Republi can ty twelve majority. Congressional District. From the Huntingdon Globe. The following is the official vote for Congress in this district. It will be observed tbat Mr. Fisher has 718 ma jority in the district. Two years ago Fisher bad 207 majority over Stenger. Taking into consideration tbe fact tbat Mr. Specr received the votes of 456 Greenbackers in the district, Fisher's majority shows a wouderfhl increase over two years sgo. Take these 456 votes from Mr. Spcer, and Mr. Fisher's plurality would be 1174, an iucreased majority of 967 over two years ego. In 1873, Dougherty, Greenbacker, bad 752 votes for Congress in the district. Take these from Fisher, and be lacked 545 votes of carrying the district by a majority, whereas, this year he oanied tb district by 71S majority over tbe Democrats and Greenbaokers combined. This is a splendid triumph, ind an em phatic endorsement of bis courso in Congress : fob fishib. Vote.

Tbe following letter has been addressed to tbe Argus by Mr. Edgar K. Apgar, a member both of the Democratic State Committee and of the Executive Committee of that body : Albaxt, Nov. 9, 1S80. To the Ar gus: As there appears to be some misunderstanding uu the Bubject, it is proper to state tbat there bas been do meeting held since tho day of election, either of the Democratic State Com mittee or the executive committee of that body, nor have notices been sent to the members of either eommittee for any such meeting in tbe future. Any action taken by tbe meaibets of the committee, whether officer or otherwise, is individual action which tbe commit tee has not authorized, and for which it cannot be beld responsible. " In so grave a matter as calling into question tbe vote of New York in the Electoral Col lege, too great caution cannot be exer cised. The only way in which any con test could be made with even a shadow of probable success would be by the rejection of the Republican electoral tickets on which the word "electors" has been twice printed. This, I be lieve, cannot and should not be done. To change the result iu any other way, more than tweuty thousand separate cases of fraudulent or corrupt voting would have to be proved an evident impossibility. It certainly cannot be expected that the present State Board of Canvassers will declare otherwise than is shown by the face of the returns, and my view of the Democratic doc trine leads me to bold tbat Congress cannot go behind the seal of tbe State to investigate fraud at the polls in tbe choice of Presidential electors. This being so, it seems to me that all talk assuming to possess an official character about having the electoral vote of this State cast for Hancock, is calculated to tring ridicule and reproach npon tbe Democratic part, and would tend, if importance were given to it, to produce a still worse effect. Those who would justify even a slight departure from es tablished laws and forms to count in General Hancock in a spirit of re verge, would take a long step toward Mexicanizing onr Government. Hold ing firmly to these views, 1 am im pelled to their public utterance as a member of the Democratic State Com mittee and of the Executive Commit tee, in order that I M may not be con sidered to have by silence acquiesced in" wbat purports to be, but is not, tbe authorized action of either committee. Very truly yours, Edgar K. Apgar. Counted Oat. The Way They do it in South Carolina. Cearleston, S.

In Charleston county the Board of Canvassers bas thrown out tbe returns from seven large Re publican polls and transformed my ma jority of 1,843 iu tbat county iuto a majority of f,d;7 for O Connor. Uy the action of tbe Canvassing Boards in these two counties, the majority of 100 which I bad, according to tbe returns made by tbe Democratic managers themselves, has been transformed into a majority of over 5,000 for O'Connor. E. W. M. Macket. To Hang. A dispatch from llarrisburg, under date of the 9th met., says: Tbe Gov ernor to-day issued warrants for the execution ou Thursday, January 6th, 1881, of Dauiel E.

Warrants were also issued for tbe exe cution of George Smith and Catharine Miller on January 6, 1881, who were convicted in Lycomiug county on May 8, 1880, of the murder of Andrew Mil ler, husband of t'atharine, and sen tenced Juue 11, 1880, to be hanged. There now remains but one murderer under sentence of death in Pennsylva nia, the day for whose execution bas not been set Frank Small, of. Alle gheny, who murdered a Gerinau and was sentenced in April, 1879, to be banned. His case is before the Board of Pardons on an application for a com mutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment.

Ironed Ballots. wf Democratic Trick That Counted. How Indiana was Carried in 1876, and Bow it was Lost in 1880 Through Phila " delnbia Statesmen. One of the Philadelphia statesmen who visited Indiaua in October to aid in carrying tbat State for the Republi cans tells an interesting story as to how it was that the Democracy were de feated and how some of their schemes were exposed. 44 In 1876 we were greatly surprised at the result of the election," said tbe gentleman ; 44 we could not tell bow it was that the Dem ocrats carried tbe State against us. We thought tbat every precaution bad been taken to protect our cause. It was concluded tbat there must be fraud in the counting of tbe vote. At a con ference held in Indianapolis it was de cided to wait nntil the excitement sub sided and then to send for some ballot boxes and peep into them. A district was selected where the Republicans were credited with having cast one vote, and tbe Democrats were returned as having 799 votes. We knew there was something wrong there. The box was opened and tbe ballots taken out. Here is where we made a most startling dis covery wbtob explained the whole secret of Democratic majorities. A ballot tbat was rolled closely together and the edges tightly folded was picked up. When it was opened there was found io siJe of it two or three more tickets printed on lighter-weight paper and shorter ends. These tickets bad been placed inside the regular ticket, and then tbe whole had been ironed together so as to make it oompact and give it the outside appearance of being but one ticket. Of course the election officer knew what it was. He reoeived it and dropped it into the box. After the polls closed, tbe Republican officers would go to supper, and one of tbe Democrats would take some Republi can tickets from the box and destroy them. When tbe counting would com mence tbe judge could tell by feeling the tickets whether they were Republi can or tbe packed Democratic tickets. He would take all of the latter out of the box and count them, until be reach ed within a few of tbe whole cumber of votes polled, when he would call off a Republican. Then he would quickly threw all tbe tickets back into the box, declare the result of the election, and tbe work would be over. 44 Now, 1 have been for twenty-three years in active politics, but the trick beat me. No party can win with such trick as that played on them. Last summer a friend of mine and myself called upon Mr. Cessna at Bedford, and offored to go to Indiana if our expenses were paid. After our revelations it was deemed important to send us, and we took along- nearly one hundred men not to repeat but to watch for and prevent tbe tricks of ISitj being re peated. Instructions were issued to Republican election officers not to leave the room where the vote was received until the ballots bad been counted. W ben the men went in in the morning tbe doors were locked, and there they were kept nntil they announced the result of the balloting. Eatables and drinkables were banded in the windows. Tbe United States Marshals protected j the polls. Tbe result was we bad a fair count, and Indiana declared for the Republicans. The Democrats were so enraged that at one pollliog place they cut out nearly tbe whole of tbe floor from tbe cellar, so as to get into the room where the vote was being counted. They came near dumping the entire Election Board into the cellar. Yon can. rely upon one fact thsre were no ironed ballots this time, and tbe judges were compelled to turn tbe boxes up side down before replacing the ballots in tbem. "And that's how we carried Indiana." Philadelphia Record, JVbv. 8, 1880. Notice to Holder 3 of U. S. Sizes. Washisotos, Nov. 11.

The Republi can Electors hava 74 votes, and Lynch, for Congress, 57.

The Cunning of the Fox. Many curious anecdotes are told of the craft of the fox, some of which are no doubt, apocryphal, but others, doubtless, truo. Naturalists assert tbat it has been frequently authenti cated that the fox bas counterfeited death to escape capture. I have been told a story of this kind witbiu a few days by a person who claims that he was an eye witness of the affair some fisherman on the west coast of Ireland a few hundred yards from the main land, In quest of bait, relate the fallowing : The island was inhabit! d by large numbers of rib its a d could be reached at low tide by wading, the water then being only a few inches deep. One morning they went in their boat quite early, it being high tide, and on landing saw a dead fox ly. ing on tbe beach. Tbe fur of the ani mal was all bedraggled, and be seemed to bave been drowned. One of tbe men remarking tbat his skin was worth something, pitched bim into the boat Proeuriug their bait they returned to the mainland, and the man who had possessed himself of the fox siezed him by tbe tail and flung bim on shore. As soon as tbe animal touched the ground be picked himself up with considerable agu'ty for a dead fox and shot off like a flash S? among the cliffs, while tbe men stood suring at each other in mate astonishment. The men concluded that he had crossed over to tbe island during the night, when the tido was low, in search of rabbits, and finding in tbe morning tbat he was cut off from tbe mainland counterfeited death with tbe expectation of thereby procuring a passage to tbe shore in the boat, an ex pectation which was fully realized.

Tbey weut to Faette coun ty, but did not like a tramp lite and concluded to go borne aguin The boys boarded a freight train and reached Cambria borough at about da;k oc Mon day evening. Tbe cars were running at a pretty rapid rate of speed, but young Findlcy succeeded in jumping off without accident. His companion then essayed to do the same, but bis failure was a most lamentable one, inasmuch as one of his feet caught iu the "stir rup" which is attached to tbe platform, and be wag thrown violently to the ground, with his right arm and left foot resting on tbe rail. The wheels of a number of cars passed over both mem bers, and tbe arm was literary ground off close to tbe shoulder, while the flesh and bones of tbe lower portion of the foot were also crushed, and his bead badly gashed. The companion of the lad ran away without giving any alarm, bat one of the brakemen noticed the boy lying by tbe roadside, and, signal ling tbe engineer, tbe train was stop ped, when the trainmen picked up the mutilated victim and placed bim in tbe caboose car, when be was taken to the passenger station at Cnnemaugb.
