¢ - VALEDICTORY. : DEAR READERS :(—My connection with | the BANNER has ceased, and I cantot take my final leave of its many readers without returring my sincere thanks to all| for the courtesy._exteuded to me during my con- | nection with its editorial department. Particularly do T desire to thank Mr. Stoll who has always been courteous and kind | to me, and for whom I have formed the highest opinion,both as a social gehtleman and business man. T trust the friends of Reform will earnestly support the BaxNEB, 8s they have reason to be proud of such an enterprise, and the good|work it has done in Noble county should commend it to all. The enterprise whichﬁhe pro prietor bas shown in conducting lis paper so succeesfully, speaks well for him, and should be an appeal to all to lend a help ing band to aid the good work. Wherever the sea of time may drift me, I shall hold in grateful remembrance the mhny kind friendships I formed in Noble cotinty, and especially do I de'gsire toreturn my thanks to the gentlemanly proprietors of the Ligonier House, Ben. Barnhart, W.| A, Jackson and F. W. Shinke, fml spe(c al*favors, Though I have been”a strict partisan; 1 bave been, with but very few exceptions, ~ kindly received and treated with due re spect by my political opponents, [for which they have my k'indést regards. The breth ren of the Press of both parties have been most kind and complimentary to me during my brief editorial career,and the short time in'which I was connected with the 'BANNER is one brief page in my life which I trust will not be barren of some good results, and which will have clinging - around it many pleasant recollections.— Hoping that each and all will forgive whatever errors I have gommitted, and wishing all success and bappiness, I bid you, dear readers, good bye. | - | J.

Ir cost the government $69,542.28 to collect a revenue of $510,678,16 on imports at Charleston, South Carolina, under Buchanan in 1857. In 1871 under Graut, it costs $30,000 more to collect/ a revenue of 116,216.60 at the same port{ The cost was 714 per cent. of the receipts under (Buchanan; it is 68 per cent. under Grant, The republican plattorm of 1860 declared tbat Buchanan had allowed {'systematic plunder'of the public treasury by, favored partisans.” The republican convention of 1872 being chiefly composed of “favored partisans” had nothing to sa about-the far more systematic pluhder which Grant has allowed.

. No Faltering Now. - : Manliness, patriotism, and |duaty to our Liberal allies, demand that we shall not now falter in the bgttle for right. - It matters not that a corrupt majority was cast against us at the State election. The enemy has exhausted himselfip that strug.gle.” His money is spent, his tricks are played, his frauds are laid|open to the day. Now let freemen assert their rights, unbribed by gain, unawed by power, and unswayed by the fear of defeat. ﬁ - The Electoral ficket. = We refer our readers to the Democratic Electoral ticket, which may|be found at the head of our editorial colnomn, Dem. ocrats and Liberalsshould be careful that the ticket they vote at the|Presidential election is the same as we publish. We are confident that the Radicals will; resort to fraud to defeat Greeley, and it would “be well for every voter to dcrutinize his ticket :before voting. - o

Who Saved il:e Courntry ? In Anna E.Dickinson’s lecture in Cooper Institute recently, a Grant official in. terrupted her with: “Who saved the country?” “The people,” pro#ptl y replied Miss Dickinson, and as she said it her audience arose, and with g inging hats, and handkerchiefs and tremdndous cheers echoed and reechoed/ her ords, “The people.” The applause lasted fully five minutes, i ¢ ———tly - s ! Tare Indianapolis Sentinel understands that the poll books and tall papers that - have been sent out for the November elec. tion contain several errors. James Gavin, Elector for the State at Lar e, is printed James 8. Gavin; George W. Shanklin, Elector for the First Distridt, is printed James G, Shanklin and Jon than W, Ev. ans, Elector for the Bighth District, is printed John W. Evans. Those errors should be corrected. - . v —————— et | PrePARE for the Noverber contest, Let every Democrat and Liberal -don his fighting harness and go into the field with a determination to win, LETr every Democrat make it his busiDegs to see that every cther Democrat in his neighborhood goes: to the polls, and we will certainly catry this State for Greeley in November, | '+ " mmnm urn ! says, “the . best u:mj: for Democrats now to do is to cast aside their foolish quatrels and jealousies” and yote for Greeley.

’Wnﬁm’o_r—— pUTY! Next [uesday isthe day. You will then determine whether a corrupt administration is to be continued four years longer, or whether a pure, able and bonestlatate's- | man is to| be placed at the head of our government. : g ' No man, worthy the name of American citizen, .c'im afford to sfay away from the polls. - | o [ ' No Democrat who sincerely loves his country, who, favors an economical administration, who believes in a complete res. toration of peace among all citizens of the Union—c¢an refuse to vote for [Horace ’Gree‘.ey-.f % b ‘Every vote for O'C?nor.is a vote in favor of cfpntinuing Grant’s profligate and unjust administration. o Every| vote for Grant will be considered as an endorsement and justification of the San Dmhingo scheme, the Secor swindle, ‘the Chorpenniag fraud, carpet-bag rule, usurpntijon, federal “interference with the rescrved rights of the States, and general assumption of unwarranted authority. A vote for Grant will be interpreted by monopalists, as an approval of the practice of donating our public lands to weal thy rai!jroad corporations, of running the treasury - department in jthe interest of Wall street speculators, of planning financial panics in the interest of a political party, of creating a scarcity of money that greedy bankers may be enabled to exact exorbitant rates of interest; in short, an endorsement of a general policy calculated to make the rich richer and the poor puorer.

On the other hand, a vote for Greeley will place in the Presidential chair a i plain, practical, and tried statesman, who | will attend to the duties of his office instead of spending his time at horse races and Long Branch, . | | A vote for Greeley will sect,ﬁre the nation an able cabinet, composed of the best men ﬂ,n the land. - | A ﬁzote for Greeley will securea more econqmical administtation, the lopping off of ‘uselees salaries, anJ the discontinuance of offices not needed by the wants of the government. e I A vote for Greeley is a vote in favor ot peace, harmony and fraternal relations ; for christian charity, personal liberty, & p,ur"el ballot, right and justice, honesty and virtue: : f Therefore, let all good men discard prejudice and vote for Greeley and Brown. Every Démocrat and Liberal to the front ! | ‘ Stand at the polls all day and work for a glorious cause. - | : Go for the feeble and sick.

S Simon Cameron. The discoveries of fraudiin the Pennsylvania election are o numerous that it seems impossible and almost superfluous to count them. The presiding genius of this gigantic iniquity was Simon Cameron, about whom the House of \’Representatives, April 30, 1862, under the lead of Elihu B, Washburne and Henry L. Dawes, and by a vote of 79 to 45, entered this minute upon 18 journal i “Resolved, That Simon Cameron, late Secretary of War, by investing Alexander Cummings with control of large sums of the public money and authority to purchase military sup plies without restriction, without requir . ing from bim any gaarantce tor the faith ful performance of his duties, when the service of competent public officers were available, and by involving the Governuj)ent in a vast number of contracts with persons not legitimately engaged in the business pertaining to the subject matter of such contracts, especially in the purchase. of arms for future delivery, has adopted a policy highly injurious to ‘the public service, and deserves the censuré of the House.” Lo

| How to Reformn the Civil Service. ~ In an article showing conclusively the failure of Grant’s administration to effect any reform in the civil service, the Springfield Republican gives these three ways by which the desiréd change can be brought about: “The first is, to abolish half the offices and make the rest, or most of them, elective by popular vote. The second is, to elect independent Congressmen—men so strong in themselves and so sure of their constituents as to be above the temp[tation to court oxeciitive' favor or coddle \the office holders, The third and shortest Jis to make the President independent—/8o far as thisbusiness of appointment and: ‘removgls goes—of -the Uongressmen, by 'making him ineligible for re election. | This plan would give us reform more quickly and surely than either of the oth ers. If the American people really want reform, it is entirely within their power to secure it this very year. They have only to Inetall the one-term principle at the White House, in the person of Horace Greeley.” ' ; »

" A Big Vote, ; An exchange well remarks that almost every American citizen has a pride in his Presidential vote, and will cast it, whether he votes at the intermediate elections or not. In States where there gre two elections’in the space of one month, and the people are put to a double expeuse in attending them, there are always thousands who say, we can’t afford to go to both, but we will go to the “big election” in November, We therefore look for a largely increased vote on next Tuesday, and for the appearance at the polls of 'the great majority of the democratic laggards whose omission to vote proved so fatal in October. With these laggards our vote will be so large that we cannot fail to carry Indiana tor Greeley and Brown.

: Be Smare, .Democrats and Liberals, be on the alert. Talk with your neighbors. Find out who are indifferent, and who are doubtful. Go to them personally and urge them to do their duty. Tell them the jmportance of continuing our success in this State, Show them the danger of giving the Grant party another lease of power. The stupendous frauds that were perpetrated in Pennsylvania, is a proof of what they will do when drivén to desperation, If you suffer them to defeat you now, the same frauds will be continued and made easy by practice, Webave it in our: power to beat them, Let us do it. All that we require is our full vote. Let no one stay at bome.

o . AD HOMINEM, " The arguments of Grant men, “about these days,” as tbhe almanec would say, are peculiarly significant. To a Liberal, the standing phrase is, “You're sold ;" to Democrats and Liberals alike, “We'll show you.” N s - Yes, they havé shown us'in Pennsylvania, and, if reports.are true, the courts are showing them some things they did not dream of. If only the greater rascals would be cared for as the lesser ones are sure to be! They would make that State the keystone of corruption, and glory in it. * Though New York is supposed to be the birth place of rings, yet Cameron means to have 1t understood that he can improve on all their “ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain.” They bave sh_own ué, and ‘We know wbat'm'cx\pe(’ﬁt from them, at least, in attempt. Tbere can be but little chance for imported votes in November, compared with the October election, but improved appliances for repeating, and false’ counting, will be the order of the day. It remains for the Lib erals and Democrats to see to it, that sll that can be done to anticipate and prevent all illegalities, shall be done, s But we sball be shown in all the South ern ‘States, all that unscrupulous partisans can do in intimidation of voters in addition to the means already spoken of, to gaip their ends. A law, passed by a subgervient Congress, ostensibly for'tbc pres “ervation of law and order, but reslly to aid their military director to re instate himselt in power, shows uy what can be done under a republican form of government, though opposed to its letter and .its ‘spirit. Its intent and: purpose is, toshold writs bf two or three years’ standing, but never served, over the heads of men who choose to vote in, opposition to the holders, to constrain them to vote as they wish, or as the.next best course, to-make them refrain from voting at all. But the tem. per-ot’ that people is not to submit.so further outrage. ' Their property is literally mortgaged by the taxes put on them by men in sywpathy with the administration and upheld by It, while the taxes are ‘not applied to the purposes stated, but find their way into the ‘clutches of these vile cormorants, They grow rich, bour by hour, while the people they pretend to gf)vern are losing as they gain.

If the Grant men hope or expect to intimidate us by showing gs what they have, both at the North and South, to cause us to give up the battle unfought, they are woefuliy mistaken. : “The race is not always to the swift, s nor the battle to the strong.” <~ Nor yet dncs victory always perch on the banners of those who make the londest flourich of trumpets betore going into the fight. We have not so learned war. ‘We mean to make a straightforward, bonest flght on our part; do what we can to make the encmy fight fairly too, and if beaten in this encounter, retreat in good order, and be ready at the tap of the drum to “Rally once again,” A LIBERAL. ; ——-————%ﬁ-———m———f . How Radical Usurpation WorksAt a great Liberal-Democratic meetipg in Fourtéenth streety New York, last Saturday night, Mr. Abram 8. Hewitt gave his experience as a Greeley niap in pursuit of a vote, as follows: _ : The other dey I was told that there was a man down stairs in my own house, whn “wanted to see me. On going down stairs, I was told he wanted to' take the census. I told him to go ahead. He said he wanted me to give him some information. I replied that I had no information to give him, He asked meif I declined. I said,“I do decline to give yuu any information whatever.” [Applause.] He then said 1 waa making myself liable to arrest, to which I replied, “I know what I am about; and as I am in & hurry, you will oblige me by getting out of this house and going away.” [Applause.] He went away. Af ter he had gone—it was well I did not know it before—after he had gone, [ was informed that he had rung the door bell, and, without asking the servant any question, he had gone up stairs to the apart - ments where my wife and children were. He met my wife at the head of tLe stairs anG she requested him to go down again, I would come down to him. Now I say [ am responsible for my acts by virtue of my long residence in this city, and I say that this is an imposition to which no citizen, who respects himself, will ever submit [applause], and I say to Mr. Davenport [hisses and groans],—l suppose the reporters will take care that he hears of it, —that I have not been arrested yet, and if he wants a foeman worthy of bis steel, he can apply to Abram S. Hewitt. [Applause.] He will have to fight it out on that line, until we ascertain whether the individualcitizen has got any rights worth _protecting and preserving or not. ["tipﬁ. plause:] : : x low They Did It. Our radical opponents now boast that ‘their organization was perfect at the State election, They claim that they knew every voter in the county, and that they secured all the doubtful ones by purchase or trage. Now we can imagine how a Radical could trade for Hendricks on the grounds ot morality, and get the best of an unsophisticated' Democrat; but we can’t for the life of us, account for the verdancy of the Democrat. The man whe will sell his vote is only a thing. He is not entitled to the name of Democrat, or any other name that commands respect. Indeed, it is a ques: tion whether such a man should have the right of suffrage. We would not permit such a fellow to sit as a jaror where we . were interested.— Connersville Examaner,

An o°Conor Elector Declines. MounT VERNoN, Omio, (ct. 25,72 To the Democracy of Ohio: . I have been nominated as an Elector on the O'Conor and Adams ticket. As Mr. O’Conor declined to accept the nomina tion, there is no democratic principle involved in this matter, and I respectfully decline being a candidate for Elector on that ticket.

The official vote of Indianapolis, at the late election, was 13,744 which is one vote to every four inhabitants. Does anybody believe that there was a fair election‘in that city? Our State ticket was defeated in Indianapolis, and it was defeated by the negroes who were colonized there for that purpose. It was the great popularity of Mr.'Hendricks, among the best men of Indianapolis, that enabled him to run ahead of his tickeét. But the vote of Indianapolis is an unmistakable evidence that the rest of the ticket was defranded out of their election.— Oonnsrgpille Bxaminer.

There is a complaint throughout the country of a scarcity of money. Business is oppressed, and there is an universal demand for an increase of circalating medium, One would think that Cameron and Blaine and Mortoa had taken money enough out of tbe Treasury within the past month or two, for election purposes, to make things easy, but for some reasons their expenditures have not had a natural oflond, Lo oo - - For SArm.—Those Democrats who sold out so cheap at the.late election, Yill be marketable in November, =~ -

' A RETROSNPECT, ‘ ~ Since the article of the 16th inst. was written, the addresses of the Liberal and Democratic Central Committees of the States holding October elections, have been given to the world, and, also, those: of the National Committees, on the politjcal situation. No one of them but looks cheerfully at the matter, so far as our own work was concerned, except that our vote was not out n full force in Ohio, and the opposition vote in Pennsylvania was more than cut in full force; it was re enforced from both 'north and south. But they claim that, at the November election each State will need its own votes, and that less of illegality, unless in buying votes at bome, will be carried on; conseqaently there is a better chancé for the Liberals.

- By most Republicans, the charge of il - | legalities on their part is laughed at and thought to be counteracted by saying that the other side is equally guilty. They know better, and it is but confessing their own lack of virtue and shame. They know the Liberals are poor in motiopolies, poor in rings, poor in government pap, poor in all the means they can command to carry - elections ; -that our contributions are-of necessity voluntary, while theirs are coerc ed, nolens volens, from officialsof all grades, and the needful lacking is made up in | the payment of hundreds, by those who, by peculation, (and by government conniwvance) have gained possession of tens of thousands: The timé was when the mass, of that party was not, would W hlind fo theig own wrongy doinged® - - would not be to that of their opponents, - werethey but to perpetrate an iotaof their outrages of the past three years; the rights of States and individuals ahike overridden —the jatter imprisoned and the right of suffrage denied; tbe former impoverished by debts made by fravd—all that the par ty shall not lose its hold of power, and ‘that certain men bel‘dnging thereto, shall add millinds, by peculation, to millions already gained. But power is loved for its own sake in every government; ours is no exception, and a long lease of it, virtu ous as we all claim to be, tends only to

eorruption. : : The republican party is no exception. It began with high aims, believed itself virtuous and just, and asked for the co operation of all good men throughout the ﬁation. It nttainud-*i"(%*punpnsé, but war came upon us and to its care was entrust ed the saving ot tbe Union. - The Union wag saved, yet only by the aid of those who were opposed in many things to its measures, but who forgot their love of party in their love of country. When peace came back to us, and the things that made for peace were attained, its missinn was accomplished. Other aims and issues came to the front, and men who had hitherto worked together now found they ‘differed in opinion as they did ot old. The time came for the election of Pres ident., The republican party knew there was great disaff:ction to some of the measures it had put forward, and, fearing it, forgot that it had hitherto cried out for principle alone and named a candidate for availability—a successfal Genera!, but -a man who bad. never sympathized with that party. It succeeded in electing him. In the mean time a few of the more intrepid men of the party had asked that peace. should have her best fruition, while yet most were burcing with hatred toward their vanquished enemies.. Hate begat hate, not to enemies alone, but to these who proposed love instead, and only when the President ¢lect became President and said {‘Peace,” could there be seen any beauty in the word. But he said peace to the ear, to break it to the hope. There has been “no peace,” except & conguered ‘one, and instead, the fiends of rapacity and bate are et loose upon thé-conquered:, until the region is becoming a desert. Their hands are held out to us, and in the language of one of them: “Tsn't seven long years enough to prove that we wish only to be allowed henceforth to work with you for ‘the good- of our common } country *” In the face c_f‘these things, how intelligent men of that party can suppose there will not Ge a reaction, such an one as will hurl it from the power it has so much abused, passes comprehension.

It/is thought that President Grant is getting ready for a new Santo Domingo campaign. This seems likely, as Senator Cole who has distinguished himself as one of the most servile of the Administration Senators, has lately been making apother annexation gpeech, which the Washington Ring is circulating. The explanation of this is that the re-election of Grant is to be taken as an indorsement of the acts of his whole administration, from the Santo Domingo business to brother-in-law Casey’s fantastic tricks. Why not?

. - , THE Democrats and Liberal Republicans will have a majority of two in the Ohio State Senate at the coming session of the Legislature. There are seventeen Democrats and two Liberals, viz.: Senator Casement, of Lake county, and Senator Gage, of Lucas. This makes nineteen Liberals to seventeen Grantites. In the House the Grantites will not have over a half dozen majority.— Oinc. Enquirer. .

- TuE Indianapolis Sentinel states, it will be found by referring to the facts, that in all closely contested counties that the vote for Representatives and Senators was larger than that for Governor. The truth is, as charged by the Journal, Morton scld out Tom Browne for the Legislature, and yet Major Gordon, knowing these things, is not happy.” - o

(ENERAL BRINKERHOFF, at the meet: ing of the National Democratic Executive Committee in New York on Mondasy, stated that the feeling in Ohio in regard to the defeat of the Liberal ticket in this State was similar to the feeling which pervaded the country just after the first Bull Run fight.

‘The Great Horse Disease. , The terrible horse disease which depleted so many of the eastern stables last year has again made its appearance not only'in New York city, but'all the towns of the State, and here in the west, in Detroit and Chicago. Reports from Rochester are that the disease has become so severe that deliveries are ‘made with hand carts, building operations are suspended, and itis difficult to get conveyances for'funerals, The dis ease.iz denominated *‘catarrhal fever,” and it commences with a cough. In about 36 hoursa rnoning from the eyes and nose is devoloped, and the horse becomes weak. That it may penetrate to places the size of this there is great danger, and we therefore give the following mode of treatment - which has been successfully used in" Montreal, Canada: -' ‘

“In the early stage of the diseuse give, the first two days, ten drops of the tincture of aconite in a little water every five hours, afier which give a pail of water to drink, and occasionally gargle. with the following: Dissolve two ounces of saltpeter, one pint of water, or double the quantity ; then wet flannel cloths with vinegar and turpentine, equal quantitieg,” and put close to the throat qneach side within two inches of the butt of the eye’; wet it in the course of every four or five hours' _ A successful result will follow it properly attended to; keep warm ‘and fan soft and warm.” .

—The horse epidemic-continues to e’:;%»'i"apidly in the East. It bas 2¢<ied as far East, as Bangor, Maine, and ag’far South as Washington.— From the larger cities it is spread among the smaller. In New York City it has assumed a more virulent type, and many-deaths are reported.— In Boston has been witnessed the unusual sight of street cars pulled by men, the fares being increased to twentyfive cents. In New York, ox teams appear in groadway,' and street cars ar¢ being drawn by dummy engines, The street cleaners coufess their inability to perform their duties, and such ‘a thing might, happen as an epidemic .among the people in consequence of the accumulating filth. The dependence of man upon the horse was never more fully exemplified. In Buffalo the horses are 80 far recovering that the ingonvenience to business men is no longer felt, and a cheering indication is fur~ nighed that the difease is not likely to be of long duration anywhere, . -

5 el — - A Mysterious Murder. Henry H. Armstrong, a well known citizen of Madison, came to his death about 11 o’clock Thursday night, Oct. 19. h; under circamstances thatrival in mystery the celebrated Nathan murder case of New York. 'The evidence before the coroner’s jury. disclosed the fact that Armstrong had not been living amicably with his wife for some time past. - During the past two weeks he had been at New Albany, ludiana, where a few months ago he purchased an interest in the pottery works in that city. ! Armstrong unexpectedly returned home in the night, took off his boots, left them in the parlor, weut up stairs to his wife’s room, where Mrs. Armstrong says he beat ‘and atused her in every manner, and finally dragged her down stairs. At the bottom of the stairs she screamed, and he released her. She went up stairs immediately. Presently she heard a pistol shot..— Armstrong was found by a neighbor lying outside the back hall door, with a bullet hole just at the corner of his left eye, The forehead was found to be covered with bruises, and his hands somewhat cut and torn, showing that the deceased had been engaged in a violent struggle. The bullet passed upwards, and entirely through his brain. If the wound had been self~inflicted, powder-marks would have undoubtedly been found. That the case is one of murder, and not suicide, there can be no reasonable doubt. - i e, ]~ [ —— e

What are we Coming To ? : The first commitment under the Enforcement Act was made in New York City one day last week in the person of Ex-councilman George A, Heinricbs, a wealthy German of the Liberal Republican organization of the Eleventh. and Seventeenth Wards.— The charge was that, he had obstructed a Supervisor who}had called at ' his house to make inquiries concerning registered voters. The fact is that the supervisor attempted to. pursue his inquiries into Mr. Heinrichs’ bed chamber, and that he (Heinrichs) kicked him down stairs and into the street. Soon afterggard the house was surrounded by United States Marshals, and Mr. Heinrichs was dragged before Commisgioner Davenport and hustled off to Ludlow street jail. Later in the day. several gentlemen of known wealth offered Davenport any required bail, but he rejected all offers. Senator Thomas Creamer offered $50,000 bail, but was curtly told that no bail need be tendered, as it was intended to make an example of Heinrichs. It ia believed to be an attempt by Grant’s satellites to intimidate Germans from registering.

At a meeting of the democratic voters of the fourth ward of Philadelphia, on Monday night, charges of having sold out to the Republicans in the late election were brought against Alderman William MecMullen and Samuel Josephs, prominent local democratic politicians. Both were unanimously expelled from the party. .

The Cambridge Tribune is responsible for the following : ¢‘ During last week a gentleman of Centerville was lying very low, and being a personal friend of the undertaker, he thought to call on the sick man and pay his respects, but to his ‘great surprise and astonishment as soon as he entered the sick foom he was greeted with ‘what in the h—l do you want here? when I need you I will send for you.” KExit undertaker.” ; ‘

Says the Petersburg Press : “John Odel killed a steer on Monday, in the heart of which was a stone the gize of a small walnnt—or sometbing resembling half:burnt limestone more than anything else, The formation, whatever it might be called;, was loose in one of the cells of the heart. T'he heart was ‘perfectly sound and showed no evidence of disecase. = A'f, Palmer bought the heart, and it was not until after it had been baked and cvtup on the table that the stone was discover~ edn‘ - “ £ _

On Thursday,O,ctf 17th, while the tamily of Esquire Wolf, living near this place, were attending the Fair, their dwelling house was entered by robbers, who took away with them about $6O in ‘cash, and a considerabte amouut of clothing. "An entrance was effected by breaking through a window in the rear of the building, When will people, especially in the conntry, learn thas it is unsafe to leave their houses in an unprotected condition 7— Waterloo Press. :

Says the South Bend Register: “An ingenious dodge for obtaining money surreptitiously was practiced in a saloon in this city on Friday last. The operator calle&yf()r a glass of beer, and when the proprietor’s back was turned, with the aid of a cane, one end of which was tipped with sticking wax, abstracted from the pile of fractional currency and bills, behind the counter, a two dollar bill and two ten Scent serips, The act was witnessed by friends of the saloon keeper, and' the dexterous indiyidual’s brother compromised the matter by. paying back the amount stolen.” i

The Election Frauds in Philadelphia. - The Municipal Reform Association of Philadelphiza, composed of the oldest and wealthiest citizens, which was formed to fight the rotten but all-pow-erful political ring in that city, -now claim to have sufficient evidence to set aside the election of the Hartranft candidates, notwithstanding they figured up a majority ef 1,500 .in the Fifteenth Ward. Four of the election officers have certified that the vote of the ward. was altered so as to increase Hartranfi’s majority by two hundred In the fourteenth ward Hartranft’s maJjority was altered from 529 to 729. In the thirteenth ward Hartranft haa 300 majority, but as this ward, unlike the fourteenth and fifteenth, had no Municipal Reformers to look after the manipulators, they made Hartranft’s majority 1,300 by prefixing the figure 1 to 300. In the nineteenth ward, which is called “The Ring’s Own,” the ma~ jority was 993 before it was manipulated. After that it was 2,993. The first ward added 1,000 to the legitimate majority, and the twenty-sixth did the same, all of which will daly appear when the Municipal Reformers get the evidence before the public.— These wards are all Republican, but in some democratic wards the majorities have fallen off very mysteriously. The fourth, for instance, a year ago, gave 1,800 majority, and three weeks ago gave but 800 majority for Buckalew.

Brick Pomeroy has gone back on O’Conor. In his New York paperhe says “ O'Conor does not deserve even one vote for the Presidency, - Q’Conor has been more of a coward than a leader, more of a.word-maker than a man of daring, more of a twaddling pettifogger than a bold, decisive Democrat equal to greatemergencies.” -

Even Brick Pomeroy, the leading spirit of the Louisville straight~ont convention, says the movement is a failure and thatevery Democrat who votes for O’Conor helps to continue in pow-~ er the Grant ring. - The choice is nar rowed down to Grant or Greeley, e | I is the opinion of JamEs 8. THAYKR, Esq., who hids been attending meeti;gs all over. New -York, that the State outside of the city will rivé-GreQiey and B'rq'w‘n not less than 30,000 majority, e
