The evidence of fraud In Denver alone has been sufflclent to ap pall any clttien of the well-grounded belief In the sanctity of the ballot and the purity of the American election under the Australian voting system. The fraudulent work was nearly all carrried on In the lower district of Denver, for years the stronghold of the city's Democratic machine, known as the “Big Mitt." The registration system olfored no protection to the public, as these lists were outrageous ly padded with fictitious names. Re peaters were herded from one polling place to another, voting the fraudu lent names. If a Republican offldal protested, he was given to understand that the protest was of no avail. If he persisted he was thrown out of the polling places. Ballot-boxes were stun- ed with fraudulent votes, handwriting experts haring found boxes In which the majority of the ballots were in the handwriting of one man. Appeals to the police were unavailing, for the officers of the law were In many cases actually helping perform the jwork of wholesale theft. “Billy . . . ... . !Green," city detective, known as the hour, except by order of the warden, j . ’ _ , ^ iha.

To converse with guards, except briefly in making known then* neces sary wants. 7. To be insolent or insulting in the use of language. 8. To absent themselves from All call. 9. To crowd upon the surgeon, steward or other person while trans acting business. 10. To order funds for their use to be placed in the hands of any one ex cept the authorized agent 11. To transact any kind of busi ness with any person, or to receive anything, without permission from the warden. V. Correspondence.—No person will be permitted .to write more than two letters in any week. No letter to be of more than one page of common letter paper in length; to be wirhout Interlining or cross-lining; to be ad dressed to a near relative, of a strict ly private nature, and subscribed by the writer’s name in fulL Others, ex cept written by permission of the war den, will be destroyed. VI. 8pecial.—The warden may, from time to time, permit one copy of a newspaper extract or telegram to be given to the prisoners, which, after examination, will be returned by the guard to the office. A failure to make return to the guard by the prisoner will involve the withdrawal of this or der. VII. Guards.—All guards and oth er persons, except those assigned or permitted by the warden to attend to this special duty, are forbidden to hold intercourse with the prisoners of war or to intrude upon the quarter of the prison where they are confined. The guard in charge will report all persons violating this rule. VII. The furnishing of supplies to prisoners of war, by gift or purchase, having been forbidden by the Hon. Secretary of War, none such will be delivered until further orders. NATHANIEL MERION, Warden. Office Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus, December 12, 1863, trict of Denver always delivered as many votes as the “Big Mitt” bosses desired, was on hand, his hip pockets having the peculiar bulge that denotes the gun fighter. I.ater, when Green appeared before the su premo court to be fined and sentenced to six months in jail for contempt, those guns were taken from him by the bailiff. This blow at his dignity caused the “Big Mitt’s" most efficient lieutenant, more sorrow than the mere prospects of a few months in Jail. The first ballot box opened by the supreme court, which proved a veri table “Pandora's box” for the election thieves, was from Precinct 9, Ward 5 —one of the lower precincts of the city. Iu this box the ballots were found as follows: Democratic votes, 289; Republican votes, 79; Socialist votes, 4; Democratic popularity, 210. The vote should have been returned, according to the supreme court's hand writing expert who examined the bal lots: Republican votes, 116; Demo cratic votes, 169; Socialist votes, 6; Democratic popularity, 68.

Switzer land and Italy Via the Alps. Rome, April 5.—The Simplon tun net. the longest In the world, was In' augurated Saturday when from the Swiss and Italian sides the first train, passed through, meeting In the centre, where there was an Iron door, which originally presented the overflow of a torrent of hot water, and which today was oponed for the first time, 'ihe weather at'the entrance of the tun nel was spring-like, though the sur rounding mountains were covered with snow, but once Inside the tem perature became verv hlsh. Engineer Brandon, who had direct ed the work of the tunr.el. conducted the Italian train, which part of the way was lighted by miners with lan terns. The train from the Italian end was li'st to reach the iron door, hut a little later the train from the Swiss end was heard on tho other side of the door. There was a brief time spent in communicating through the door by means of hammering, and flu- ally the door was knocked down amid frantic applause and cries of “Long live Switzerland!” and “Long live Italy!" Bands played tho Italian roy al march and the Swiss anthem and the two parties embraced and kissed each other. Engineer Brandau shook hands with Engnccr Rosnmund, the director of tho work on the Swiss side, and the Italian Bishop Noveara ombraced the Swiss Bishop Sion. The latter then preached a short sermon, In the course of which ho said: “The church blesses progress." In the name of God he blessed the tunnel.

Congressman is Not in the Race for Governor. Douglas, Ga., April 5.—Congress man Brantley, of the Eleventh district, has set at rest all of the gossip about tho possibility of hi3 becoming a can didate for governor. Mr. Brantley said: "Nothing could Induce ine to enter a scramble to become governor of Georgia, unless the whole people of the state would agree that South Georgia should furnish a man for gov ernor. Then, in that case, solely for the purpose of representing my sec tion and uniting the people of the state, I would consent to enter the race, but as matters stand, I like the office the people have given me and have no desire to become governor. When a man is elected governor and fills out his term bis work Is done, but In congress there Is an opportunity to do more for the state and section In continual service and some possi bilities of advancement I am con tent with the position the people have given me.” Dr. Wiley is writing poetry on the food question.

Reidsvlllc, Ga., April 4.—Probably one of the most unique reports ever made to a grand jury was haudod In to tho Tattnall county grand Jury to day by Justice of the Peace John H. Jenkins, when he put In his books for examination. Judge Jenkins presides in the “Hog Wallow’’ district, which embraces the town of Manassas, and has not had a criminal case In his court during tho last two years. He is well known by a large number of Savannah residents, many of whom first saw the light in the “Hog Wal low” district of Tattnall county. The report was as follows, and it is need less to say that the books were pass ed and approved at once: "Nothing doing, nothing done. Had no fighting, had no fun. Had no rucus, had no fuss. Everything slrene with us.” Traverse Jurors—Second Week. 8 M Drawdy, J R Daughtry, J M Demmlnn. J M FolMi.ni, Escape of Fitzgerald Family.
