HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

~ The Election laws require that the vo
tiers at Freemans Meeting deliver to the Con
stable or presiding officer their ballots folded
so as to conceal the name or names. II is the
duty Of the Constable to examine the ballot sc
far as to satisfy himself that there is but one
without looking at the name or names contain
ed on il. In order to prevent any Of his
votes from going into the wrong boxes, every
voter should adopt the following rule. First
hand the Constable your vote for Town Rep.
resentative and see that he puts itinto the right
box-next hand him your ballot for State Off
GERS and Senators, all on one piece of paper,
and see that he puts that into the right box
and so Of your vote for Member of Congress.
When you hand him the irst-say to him in
an audible voice-for town Representative
and so of the others, that he may know at the
instant which box each ballot belongs in
This will facilitate business and prevent mis-
takes. The Boxes will be all marked and ev-
cry voter should see that each Of his ballots is
put into the right box This is doubly impor-
,ant in those towns where a few votes will
turn the scale. 1t should therefore he particu-
lary attended TO in all such towns.

FALSEHOOD REFUTED OR Err
ROR CCRRECTED.

"Not a single individual who has been np.
pointed to office BY Mr. Van Buren, has be.
come defaulter."-W. {. Democrat. :
nf We call the attention of the Editor oil
the Democrat to the following extracts from
the Report of the Committee of the House Of
Representatives TO investigate Swartwout's de-
falcaton, which goes to show that VIM. M
Price was appointed by Mr. Van Buren, in 1898
The report says, page 90, "The extent Of the
delalcation Of Mr. Price as district attorney is
found in the testimony of B. f. Butler Esq, his
successor in Office, to be $72, la" also on
page 102 under the head Of causes ofths defal-
cation, same report soys,-"lt is To be found in
the pecunary responsibility and want oil
trust worthiness as professional man, at the
time Of his appointment by President Jackson
in 1894, as also at the time of his rcappoint-
meui in 1898 by President Van Buren," There
then is one defaulter of Mr. Van Buren's APP
pontment, and there are beyond question many
others. If the sequel does not bring TO light a
host Of them we are much mistaken. The
same report shows, page l45, that the defaca-
tons Of receivers for the sales of public lands
from the commencement Of the government to
the 18th March 1920, amount TO S2iS, 1885, 49,
That the defalcations Of the same class Of Off
GERS from 4th March 1929 TO Goth Of January
1899, amount to $685., 67s,2s. Thus it appears
that in period Of less than ten years The loss
es of public officers have been nearly four fold
what they were for the whole forty years pre-
yious. Swartwout's defalcation alone amounts
to about Two hundred thousand dollars more
than all the dcfalcations of collectors Of the
customs previous 10 1929 This same report
furnishes clear and conclusive evidence that
these enormous losses Of the public moneys are
owing principally TO corrupt favoriIism and
criminal neglect OF duty on the pari Of the
President and the Secretary OF the Treasury.
And when the augean stable comes to be
cleansed by the new Administration. and the
accounts Of the discussing officers are scruti-
missed, we shall find that this is scarcely moi
ETY. ofthe peoples money, which these boasted
retrenchers and reformers have suffered these
understrappers 10 plumber from the public treas
ury. Let these things be remembered by The
people.

The prospects of a European War.

peers up to the evening OF the Sd, and Liver.
pool to the 4lh inst. The prospects of war
between France and the European powers,
seemed threatening up TO the last moment, al.
though little less so than few DAYS before.
The London Sun Of the evening Of the Sd,
our latest London date, states that the Paris
journals OF the preceding Friday and Sat
urday, were on the whole less warlike in
their leading articles than they had been for
the last two days. although they still de-
clared that unless the treaty ofthe four Pow
ers be modified, there must be an appeal to
arms.

tween England, Russia. Austria. and Prus-

TO the interest Of France they do nothing

do, when she joined the conference after the

CoNGREssMAN.

Mr. HALL was elected two years ago by
about 1900 majority. He has represented the
district ably and faithfully. His able report on
the old rotten Virginia Revolutionary claims,
will in all probability save the Treasury from
being piundered of some millions Of dollars
His report is conclusive not only against the
validity Of several hundred claims now pen
ding, but equally so against that OF some twcn-
iy or thirty which have been allowed during
the last - years, by which the public treasury
has been plundered Of several hundred thou
sand dollars. We hope the freemen will bear
these things in mind and reelect him by lar
ger majority than that of 1888.
