AjSßlrr.'Cff'.’ —.- The “Addition,) UlTl.lun, end Mllrncc' HOW f iMF.ROX PROPOSER to OUUiV 0100 •* km mum - • N*w tjjikiJSepfc. 21*- No election ln fumv.evijr .deyteed infer 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. it Is marked by simplicity, and all who know anything or the history of Pennsylvania know that Mackey, Maim ind Kyinbl# are piasters jif the art of fraud, rm UHj 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. H • ——.

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. 15th. 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.” Earthquake In Indiana. Evansville Ind., Sept. 25.—Two successive and heavy shocks of an earthquake were felt in this city at 12 o’clock last night.

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 Little tlrl Fired Hell Gate. New York, Sept. 24.—Gen. New ton’s duughter Maty, a child aged 13 years, touched the key which ex ploded Hell Gate. THE EXPLOSION THOROUGH. New York, Sept. 25.— General Newton to-day pronounced tho Hell Gate explosion a thorough explosion.

Washington, Sept. 25.—The Cuban patriot interest here is greatly ex cited over the action of this Country and Spain in regard to Tweed. Tho uneasiness is not confined to this class. The acceptance of Tweed from Spain without a question on her part will boa precedent for the unequivi cal surrender on our part of any per son whom Spain may want.

The truoe ends at midnight, when hostilities will re-commence. Prep arations here this (Sunday) mornlDg are glaringly at variance with the of fer of peace. There wus a great war demonstration Saturday, upon the present action. A banner was sent from Moscow to the Russian legion of cavalry, and tho Bishop of Bel grade assisted. The legion is aline body of men, evidently soldiers. It started to the front to-day. Belgrade, Sept. 25. —A committee of the Servian authorities have ap proved the proclamation of Milan as King, and called on tho Ministers to co-operate. London, Sept. 25.—A Vienna cor respondent of the Times says two statements, apparently contradicto ry, but from reliable sources, have been received from Russia. One is, that an order has been issued that no more leaves of absence bo grunted Russian soldiers. The other has it that in the military district of Kivi Khan and Odessa preparations are making for tho mobilization of the troops. It is claimed, however, that this is but a trial of the system of mobilization and of calling in of re serves as is yearly practiced in other countries. armistice to be prolonged.

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 winner and entitled to the money, the total sum of which will then be $13,382 American currency. Explicit agreements and stipulations have been entered into by both parties in due form of luw, one of which pro vides that under no circumstances shall the money or any part thereof bo withdrawn before the expiration of tho allotted period of 100 years.

Whittle. GulUhiiillli Halil. 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. vrnsteil !>ni|iiit h> 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.
