nal ingenuity the plot of Cameron s
henchmen, Mackey, Mann and
Kemble, to defraud the voters of
Ohio and Indiana at the approaching
election. The Awdiemeis known in all
its details, and we do not say a word
about it which cannot be proven be
yond a doubt. The conspiracy is
marked by such diabolical ingenuity
that it seems at first glance like a
visionary romance, but a oareful ex
amination will convince anyone that
unless previously exposed, it was so
cunningly coutrived as to defy de
tection. Like all gieat works of urt.

who know anything or the history of

Pailing in-his. plan p dragoon the
South, Cameron determined to have
Inbiana and Ohio at all hazards. He
needed for the job, nd ordinary work
men, or prentice hand, but the most
skillful in the black art of cheatery;
men whom he knew, on whose bold
ness and dash of villainy he could
rely, and who as yet had never fail
ed. So he summoned his old and
trusty pals—his fellow pupils under
his father—and, with his counsel,
the infamous scheme was perfected,
and put into operation. It was
agreed that not a word should be
written, so that no evidence might
remain. The lesson of the “Addition,
Division and Silence” letter was not
forgotten. .t .’i
T,wenty-five men were picked out.
supposed to be the most reliable for
suih work in the whole State of
Pennsylvania. Each muu was given
his instructions separately, so that
no one might know the destination
of atiStlrer; or’th#detaiiß Of hfs mis
-Bson. Two chiefs were chosen, each
to communicate with a selected mem
ber of the State Committee of Ohio
and Indiana. Under the orders of
these chiefs each subordinate was to
take charge of a designated district,
and select the judge or Inspector of
election to ourry out the scheme in
each. The scheme in detail, is: The
selected judge or inspector, after or
during the votiDg, drops a given
number of Radical ballots in the lot
to be counted.
The count disclosing by compari
son with the total of the poll-list an
excess of ballots over lawful voters,
the question arises what to do with
the deficiency. After hesitation, the
Republican election officer will pro
pose, with apparent fairness, to set
tle the excess by withdrawing an
equal number of votes from each
side. For example, the excess being
ten, to thrown off live Democratic
and five Republican ballots. This
I’reposition seems, on its face, fair,
and the Democratic inspector, unless
unusually suspicious or keen, is very
likely, in the hurry and excitement
of canvassing the votes, to agree to
the request rather than vitiate the
poll or confess that a fraud has been
committed through his neglect. So
the ten votes are withdrawn, five on
each side, but the ten vote* frdwiulerd
ly introduced stiff remain in the count.
An average change of ten votes in
each of the 58Z polling precincts of
Indiana would make a fraud of 5,820
votes, and the same operation in
eaofa of-the 1,800 preeinots of Ohio
would make a change of i3,000 votes.
Of course WhOTOver the King Agerft
found a dishonest or stupid Demo
cratic official, many more than ten
votes would be introduced. In some
places the scheme would fail al
together. But the conspirators nre
counting on an average fraud by this
plan of ten votes at each poll, or 18,-
200 votes in the two States. This is
their exact calculation. It does not
matter whether the votes are dumped
from the boxes before counting, or
each vote be taken from the box
singly, there will be in either case
ample opportunity during the day
to Introduce the fraudulent excess.
Neither does it matter whether the
votes are withdrawn by equal selec
tion, or by chance. A slight differ
ence in the size or folding of the bal
lot, or in the texture of paper, will
enable the instructed expert to with
draw none of the fraudulent ballots.
Even if a number be withdrawn fair
ly and indiscriminately, there will be
naturally as many in proportion of
Democratic as Republican votes with
drawn, and the votes fraudulently in
troduced will always tell iu the court.
The Scheme of fraud is at once sim
ple and effective. Its apparent sim
plicity marks the devilish ingenuity
of the design. It will not do to de
spise or underate it. for R is by pre
cisely such plots that the vote of
Pennsylvania has been falsified for
many years by the very men who are
in this conspiracy now. It is not
confined to Ohio and Ind iana; but
extends to all the October States.
To defeat !t be sure of your inspec
tors, appoint the best men in the
precinct watchers at the poll, and
watch carefully the doings and rec
ord of every suspicious stranger.
This is not the only scheme of
fraud, but only one sample of many.
There is nothing that trained cun
ning can devise which will not be re
sorted to by the Radicals in their des
perate effort to retain power, and
cheat the country intq voting for
them in November by falsifying the
results in October.

A VOItK FROM TilK COI.OKKU XKV
At the grand Tilden ratification meeting
at Albany Thursday night, Andrew J. Cham
bers, a colored man from Arkansas, was one
of the speakers. The following is an
abstract of his remarks:,
Hr said that the South wanted a change.
The intelligent, thinking negroes of the South
wanted a change; every poor working man
wanted a change. What he said for his own
race was, that the Republican party bad
long enough made capital out of the colered
man. In the South they began to under
stand it. The truth of the/political situa
tion was dawning upon them at last. The
carpet-bagger and his government had been
to them a greater curse than the pests ol
F.gypt. The colored man wanted no more
of that side. Their true friends in the South
were the Southern white men, and not the
Northern carpet baggers who had followed
the army as sutlers and hangers-on. There
was no real antagonism between the South
era white men and the negroes. All they
wanted waato be let alone by the carpet-bag
gers and politicians, and the whites and
blacks of the Soulh would work ouf their
destiny together. The whiterace wereGod’e
chariot ot fire conveying civilization anil
Christianity to the world, and the intelligent
black race were ready and anxious to link
their destiny with them. They did not
want antagonism. They w anted harmony;
they wanted unity. Since the Democrats
carried Arkansas not a negro has been mur
dered. Wnat the Republicans wanted was
Southern outrages. They could make capi
tal at the North out of thß murder of South
ern negroes. But the whites and blacks of
tbe South courted rio such calamities. In
States where the Democrats bad gained con
trol in the South there was peace and con
cord between the races—there was no war.
He wanted liberty for all. He did not want
the coercion of Cgmeron's order or of Taft’s
instructions. He was for “Horne Rule”—
local self-government. He knew of ope soci
ety that was swindled out of 81.700 by the
failure of the Freedman's Savings Bank.
The Freedman's Bureau was another swin
dle,and he was grateful lor the veto of il. He
was for Samuel J. Tilden. Whatever New-
York or the North might say, the Sooth had
seen enough of the Republican party, and
they wanted a change and Samuel .1. Tilden
lor President.

thousand whites to encounter the
ravages of the Fver, the mortality is
truly startling. We can only hone
that the epidemic has reached its cli

tVlii'ii Is a Mail Legally Until!
The case of David Calderwooil, adminis
trator ol the estate of James Yule, versus
Cutler Meal lister, administrator of the estate
ol A. Wood, et al., was yesterday dismissed
by the Fourth District Court as to the defen
dant McAllister. It seems that in 1851 Yule,
who was plaintiff in a case brought in the
Superior Court, left for Australia and prom
ised to write to Caiderwood, hut did not do
so. Cahlerivood swore that nobody in San-
Francisco has heard from him, and be also
swears that Vule is dead. Judge Morrison
remarked: “It is a principle ot law that
when a man goes abroad and is not heard
from for five years, the presumption is that
he is dead. But when a man goes from San-
Francisco to Australia, and he neglectsto
write to Calderwell, this circnmstarioe is
not positive evidence that he is dead. The
evidence is insufficient to establish the death
of the plaintiff, Counsel argued that the
order ol dismissal of the case was void,
because the plaintiff was dead, and the
'Court was asked to set aside that judgement,
and that an alia I summons issue 1 can see
no grounds for reversing an action which
has been dead for fifteen years. These facts
were not before the Court on the 92nd of
August, 1870, when the dismi-sal was set
aside, and that order would be set aside and
the case dismissed as to McAllister, fur
want of-prosecutiou.”—- San Francisco Call.

Two Ways ot llnlngr a Thing.
A Frenchman, while at Naples, was in
troduced at an assembly of one of the
first ladies by a Neapolitan nobleman.
While he was there liin gold snuff-box was
stolen from him. Soon aftar, being at an
other house, he saw a person taking snuff
out of his box. He returned to his friend.
“There,” said he, ‘‘that man iu blue,
with gold embroidery, is taking snuff out
of my box, stolen yesterday. Do you
know him? Is he not a professional slitfr
per?”
‘.Take care,” said the other, “that man
is of the first quality.”
“I do not care for his quality,’’ replied
the Frenehtnan. “I must have my box
again." I’ll go and ask him for it.”
“Pray be quiet,” said his friend "and let
me get it back for ) ou.”
..Upon this assurance the Frenchman
went'away, after inviting Ills friend to
dine with him next day. He qapie next
day, and as he entered" exclaimed:
“There I have bsoughtyour snuff box.”
“Well, bow did you obtain it?”
‘‘Why,’’ said tlie Neapolitan nobleman,
“I did not wish to make a noise about it,
so I picked his pocket.”

II 1.1.1. UATE explosion.
A SIGNAL SUCCESS—NOT A PANE OF GLASS
DIIOKEN.
New Yoke, Sept. 24.— After the last
gun of warning, a deep hush fell up
on tho multitude. Tho stillness was
complete and unbroken from then un
til tho third gun, at 10 minutes of 3,
which was followed precisely at, 9
minutes to 3by the explosion. In a
straight and seemingly narrow run
ning line North and South for about
300 yards, tho water whitened and
arose three or four feet high. A dull
thud was heard on the rocks beneath
the feet of the multitude from two
quick, short pulsations of earth
quake. The water, which appeared
to remain stationary for an Instant,
broke and spurted up in an irregular,
dark yellow mass, about twelve feet
high, mixed with dark smoke from
the dynamite. -Then it fell back. In
a moment tho river resumed its usual
peaceful aspect. Then a mighty
cheer arose from all the northeast
side oT the city, and from steamers
and boats, and steam whistles were
blown and bells were rung joyously,
and all was over.
Tite report was scarcely noticeable.
Not the smallest fragment of rock
was hurled, and not as much as a
ripple was caused upon the water,
save just over tho spot where the ex
plosion took place. There was no
concussion in the air, and not a pane
of glass was broken in tho city or on
Ward’s Island.
Immediately after the explosion,
hundreds of row boats set out at their
best speed for Hell Gate, each anx
ious for the honor of first passing
over the scene of tho explosion.
That tho work was effectually done
is the general feeling; and this also
appoars from the fact that the police
boat passed over that spot safely.
Tho tide has been materially changed
by the explosion, and now the cur
rent sets directly on Big and Little
Mill Rocks; they will have to be ex
ploded next.

A Hmulrcil learn to Decide a Bet.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
By private letter from Germany
the following facts regarding a sin
gular and novel wager are communi
cated: Two wealthy anil influential
Berlin bankers, desiring to provide
for their children’s heirs, and fearing
that through disastrous reverses they
might; become poor and therefore be
uiiabio to do so, have made a wuger
concerning the United States. The
one bet 3,000 marks—a mark is equal
to about, twenty-ilvo cents of our
money—that the United States will
not remain, a republic, but
advance to" higher knowledge
of tho arts' and sciences, while
the other, just as confident of win
ning as the other, of course, bets 4,000
marks that our country will remain
a reoublic all the time intervening
between this and the second Centen
nial, but will not retain tho high po
sition in tho arts and sciences which
she now occupies. Tho sum of 7,000
marks (about $1,750 Amorican money)
has been placed ou interest for the
period of 100 years, at the expiration
of wiiieh period tho Royal Court of
Germany will decide which party is

From tho Now York Sportsman.J
Tho following extraordinary statement
was recently made over tho signature of
‘Wildair:” “Goldsmith Maid Is nothing
but a gambler's pony. Give her a fifty
pound sulkoy, a track like a billiard-table,
and an Inspired idiot to twist her mouth
and hnloo at her, and slio can win money.
A concord wagon, with two riding, on a
good road, will handicap her so a good
carriage horse can make her tako dust.”
This Is one of that kind of roekless, base
less, stupid statements which uninspired
idiots, and nobody elso, venture upon.
Goldsmith Maid Is not a pony in any
sense. She is a little over fifteen hands
high, and has more proportionate powor
in the right places than any other horse
we know of save Dexter, who is himself
small in height, but a giant in tho super
ior parts which confer speed and largely
contribute to establsh bottom. There is
not in tho world a horse of her size with
a better back and loin than Goldsmith
Maid, and as to any carriage horse mak
ing her take dust hitched to a Concord
wagon with two men In it, the assertion
is completely ridiculous. You do not
want lumber to pull weight upon tho
read for other than draught purposos.
Dexter is smallor lu tho coaoh-horse
senso, but he can pull a ton, and beat any
earrlago horse in Massachusetts, any dis
tance, out of sight. Lady Palmer was
light and blood-liko, but weight was
nothing to her. The same witli Flatbush
Maid. Charlotte F. is small and light,
and she cares nothing for weight, and we
have heard Dan Mace and his brother
Bon say t.hht she could pull a coal cart
and trot a mile In four minutes. What is
tho use of expatiating upon the beauties,
the merits, and tho grandeur of tho gamo
qualifications of “The Buhl Privateer,” if
his owner is going to adopt tho
lunatic suggestions and delirious asser
tions of “Wildair ?” Ho is a long, very
blood-like and sinowy horse, light all over,
and not the bit tho worse for it, though
the old whales and young porpoises of tho
fat men’s club might despise him on that
account. Goldsmith Maid is a mare of
splendid proportions and marvelous con
stititution. She is not tho best trotter
that ever was, because, tako him for all in
all, Dexter was and is the Eclipse of the
courso and road, but still she Is well
worthy of all admiration in tho country
which produced her, and her namowill be
perpetuated among the best of that class
of horses to the fame of which all over tho
world she has enormously contributed.

One day recently a respectably-dressed
man carried a well-grown child, muffled
up anti apparently sick, in a New York
hotel. He placed the child on the stairs
and begun to talk to it in a very unkind
rough way. The attention of the guests
was attracted, and they gathorod around.
“You are able to walk up stairs by your
self, and I won’t carry you."
‘Oh, Oh,’ the child sobbed, ’do carry me
up; please, pa, do. You know ever since
I was rim over by tho cars and lost both
my feot I can’t wuHk up stairs alone.’
“That’s all stuff,’ the mail answered: 'get
up at onco or or I’ll make you.’
Tho child began to sob worse than be
fore, and the brutal man gave it a severe
thump over the side of the head. The
child moaned piteously. Tho indignation
of tho bystanders was excited, and one of
them said to tho man, 'ls that child
yours?”
‘What’s that to you?’ answered the man;
'X won’t tell you.’
'He's—my—father,’ tho child sobbed,
‘and—he—killed—my—mother just —as
lie’s—going—to—kill—mo.’
Tho man doubled up his fist and mado
as though he was about to give the child
a savage blow. One of tho bystanders in
terfered and said, ‘Hay, if you don’t stop
this I’ll call a policeman. I nover saw
such a brutal father in all my life.”
Tho man began to fumble in his pockets,
and the child cried out, ‘Take care; he’s
got a knifo. He’s going to stick you.’
Sure enough tho man produced a knife
and opened it. Tho crowd slipped off one
by one, except two.
‘Bring an officer,’! one of these cried to a
frioncl.
‘lf lam to be arrested, tho man said, It
shall be for something,’ and thereupon he
plunged the knifo into tho body of the
child. The child shrieked, “I’m murdered,
I’m mnrdcred,” and a crowd rushed to the
spot. Tho man quietly raised tho child
iu his arms, and removing his hat, said:
“Gentleman, this is a wooden child. I’m
a ventriloquist, any little offering you
may be pleased to make will bo very ac
ceptable.”— Exchange.
