Il handsome comprehensive sew
eral delegations from this district to the
Richmond convention received a hand
some compliment from the ship Sea,
and the barque Effort, in passing the
City point TO their respective steam
boats. As they hove in sight Of City
Point, going and returning, each OF
these gallant argosies dressed herself
in the gay attire of ensigns and flags
and as the steamers passed saluted
with two guns, which were returned
with three delegates. From the main
yard of each ship hung cider barrel,
and between the fore and main masts
of the Effort, were suspended aloft a
coy little batteau, with the word
4" Tippecanoe" painted on the side
fronting the river, while sailor seated
in the stern piled his paddle with great
earnestness. The incident was pleas
ing, for it was a proof of heartiness
in the cause, as we'll as a compliment
intended for the delegation, which they
felt and appreciated in tight spirit.
We should not forget to mention,
that as each of the steamers passed
Berkely, the birthplace of William
H. Harrison, the delegates on board
assembled to the upper deck and gave
three cheers.

For the lastsixty days this has been
the cry of the venerable Editor of the
Enquirer. Letters and Editorials, both
confirmed the prophecy-and he was
fool who doubted. What truth there
was in these statements, the reader can
Judge by reference to the brilliant re-
turns from the Buckeye State. The
old gentleman has certainly lost his
cunning in forsseeing coming events.
He is no longer like the unshaved,
acorn fed priests Of Dodona's Temple,
who
Learnt from rustlng oaks Jove's dark DEGREES,
And caught the Fates low whisper in the
breeze.
He is as other men now-and Bit
terly do some of his own followers,
who have staked their money upon his
judgment, rue their credulity and gnash
their teeth at his fallibility. But there
is one comfort left to them and their
oracle The weaker the party grows
in other States the stronger it becomes
here-and the worse they are beaten
in the rest of the Union the more GER
tain are they of victory here Rich

sTUPENDOUS FRAUDS.


A letter from Philadelphia to the
Cincinnati Gazette, dated on the 18th
inst, says: !.
Iopen my letter to inform you of a
tremendous fraud, that has been disco
vered in our city and county election.
About 100 leaves have been pasted in
to the book Of declarations for naturali-
cation, and certificates issued and no
ted upon them. The number already
discovered, it is said, amounts to nine
hundred, and the investigation is still
going on. A number Of forged certi-
fcates; purporting to be signed by
Judge King, have also been discover
ed. Our election will be upset.
The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette of
last Monday notices the astounding
frauds as follows
An act has been brought to light
which is connected with one of the
most Ubiquitous frauds ever practised
inthis country in reference to elections.
Our readers are aware that the Loco
toco vote in the city and county of
Philadelphia was larger, by several
thousands, than any one, even the
honest men of that party, believed it
would be; no man, for instance thought
that there was as many Van Buren, vo-
tiers in this city and county, by several
thousands, as there were Van Buren,
votes received last Tuesday /; and at
tention was, consequently drawn to the
naturalization proceedings, to illus
trate the subject. The following dis
covery, we learn, has been made: In
the book of the proper officer of the
Court, wherein registered the names
and oaths of those emigrants who de-
clare their intention to become citizens,
leaves had been inserted this year in
the record of the year 1888, and the
names of many persons registered as
declaring their intentions, and the
name of the former clerk of the office
forged thereto: and the Court having
been induced to believe that these Sc
Veral entries we're really made in 1888,
granted the papers of naturalization.
This high-handed fraud, striking at
the purity Of courts and elections, has
been brought to the notice of Judge
King, and will be carefully sifted.
The North American Of the goth
inst, says:
To-day further Developments Of
fraud in the naturalization Of foreign
ers havebeen made. On examination
/ in the Office of the Courts of General
Sessions, Judge Barton has found a
large number of forgeries of his own
signature, and in consequence of this
discovery, has taken possession of all
the books and papers relating to natu-
ralizations, with a view to further in
vestigations, and to prevent the des-
truction Of the evidences of guilt. So
far as we have been able to learn, no
cue to the perpetrators of this outrage
has yet been found.
No wonder that Ingersoll was eleced!

MISSISSIPPI FEMALE COL
LEGE.

It is with feelings ofdeep mortifica-
ton and regret that we learn, that this
Institution has so fallen off in patron
age, as scarcely to maintain a glim-
mering and feeble existence; and with
out knowing better cause, we are in
clined to ascribe tive were going to
say, to want ofpatriotism in our COM
munity; and would we be incorrect in
such conclusions ? That it cannot be
ascribed to any other cause, we think
may be inferred from the fact, THAT there
are as many children to educate, and
the inducement as strong to educate
them as it eveA was. Then how
comes it that the only important insti-.
tuition of learning in this section, where
ample provision has been made, at
great cost, for teaching the various sci
ences, is suffered to expire for the
want of adequate patronage, now !Sure-
ly the answer can only be found as we
have stated above. But shall this
continue /? Will the people Of Co
lumbus not once more put their heads
together, in behalf of school worthy
of all favor, and again, by one simulta-
neous effort, cause the candle of knowl-
| edge to blaze in its Halls, and its walls
to throng with young forms eager to
inhale the mellow light. We say tc
our fellow citizens, as they regard the
welfare of the rising generation, tina

' which has been reared and establishes
i at great expense, to go down, for tn
f want of that patronage which is in thei
power to bestow; and whose destruc
ton would absolutely involve our Cit
- and county in disgrace. That the

POPULAR VOTE OF PENN
SYLVANTA.

We had prepared a comparative
tabular statement Of the vote on the
Congressional ticket this year, with
that on the Electoral ticket in 1886 ;
but omit it, for the reason that in look
ing at the official returns from several
counties, we do not find that the Con-
gress ticket ran equal with that for
State Representatives some coun-
ties far above, in others far below.
When the chance of success with a
Wing Assemblyman was fair, then the
Wing vote for BIN was large; while
at the same poll, the Wing Congress
vote would be small, because the DIS
t'1ct being differently composed, could
by no effort be carried.
On looking at what might be deem
ed fair average, we are led to the be-
lief that a true estimate made would
place the Wings in a majority Of the
popular vote throughout the State.
30 favorable is the result, however
considered, that on all hands our po-
iltlcal friends express the utmost con-
ndenee OF carrying the State for the
Harrison ticket By many thousands.
We copy the following from the
Harrisburg Chronicle

Northern men. but also that OF The
members then composing the House
Of Representatives, large majority, |
believe nearly two thirds, were North
ern men also.
The House agreed to insert these
resolutions in its journals, and from
that day to this it has never been main
tanned or commended that Congress had
any authority to regulate or interfere
with the condition of slaves in the sew
eral States. No Northern gentleman,
to my knowledge has moved any such
question in either House ofCongress.
The fears of the South, whatever
fears they might have entertained, were
allayed and quoted by this early de-
cision, and so remained until they
were excited afresh without cause, but
for collateral and indirect purposes.
When it became necessary, or was
thought so by some political persons,
to find an unvarying ground for the ex-
clusion of Northern men from conf
dence and from lead in the affairs OF
the Republic, then, and not I'LL then,
the cry was raised, and the feelings
industriously excited, that the feelings
of Northern men in the public councils
would endanger the relation of master
and slave.
