French VotiDr

The readers of Nh. Leiber's able work
on Civil Liberty and Self Government,
will remember a very interesting paper
appended to it, on the proportion of those
who actually vote TO the whole number
of qualified voters, in any extensive
election-say one covering a district
where there are 5000 voters. In illus.
lrating his subject, Nh. Lieber selected
instances of American, English, French
and Germ n elections, the statistics and
accompanying Circumstances of which
ale well a~Srertaiued. The conclusion at
which he arrived was, that very frequent
ly less than fifty out of a hundred cili-
zens who have The right 10 vote, actually
so 10 the polls, and that this result
shows a far common interest in the elec
ton ; that if sixty voters GU Of a hun
dred actually vote, it proves a great in
tereSt in the election and that seventy
actual voters out of a hundred is an evi
dence of great excitement while the
number of seventy-fve voters put of a
hundred is hardly ever reached. and
marks an imprisoned election. Mr.
Lieber proved from these calculations
that the pretended return, by which Ma
poleon Ill. was lifted to the Imperial
throne, and according to which min .ty
five FrenchmeD actually voted put of
every hundred authorized to vote, was
a %falsehood, which could only be palmed
upon people utterly ignorant of election
statistics.
The late election in Virginia has fur
nished an additional opportunity of test
ing this theory. The following state
ments are p occurred from one of The very
highest authorities for political statistics
in that Commonwealth. This gentleman
says that at this election the people gen
orally were interested and excited to the
highest degree, as much indeed as they
could be on ''any subject short of a revo
lution"-an opini n in which we do MOI
doubt all persons acquainted with the
facts will entirely coincide. Now there
are in Virginia at this moment 214,O OC
tithebles, OF persons qualified to vote,
and there were polled 156, 600 votes al
this election. This gives a fraction oveI
seventy-three actual voters out of a hun
dred qualified Il ote And this in a
community thoroughly accustomed tc
canvassIng and elections.
The Imperial Government of France
were evidently ignorant of election sta is
tics, and thus placed on record the evil
dence of their own falSehood.

THE VALUE OF PoLIrENEss.-Mr. But
Ter, of Providence, Rhode Island, a mil
lionrire, who died some six years ago,
was SC obliging that he re-oPened his
store one night solely to supply a little
girl with a spool of thread which she
wanted. The incident became known,
Mr.. Butler was a young man at the
time,) and The trading Npublic wisely
thought hat his accommodating spirit,
rs shown in this trifing affair and in the
general conduct OF his business, deserved
a good run OF custom, which they gave,
and placed him on the track of high
prosperity. He subscribed the sum of
$40, GOO towards founding a hospital for
the insane in Rhode Island through the
benevolent opportunities of Miss Dix.

Cutting Timber.

Messrs. Editors: l have made many
experiments testing the durability of tim
Der cut at different periods of the year, and
have found that the month of August is
the best time to fell timber, for any use
whatever. Timber cut during this month
is heavier, and much more durable than
when cut in any other month during the
year. 1t may be said hat farmers are
usually very busy during this month
with their harvesting, but there is always
some wet weather, and the timber may
be felled, and then split up for use at
any time within three years. 1 have no
doubt but that fiom 80 to rs per cent.
would be added to the value of timber
for wagon-spokes, rails, and railroad ties,
if cut in August, for it will never become
worm eaten. Timber is improved in du-
rability by remaining from three to FIVE
years in the woods where it is felled.

Remember the Author of it.


In the indignation excited throughout
the whole North by the extent and enor-
nifty Of the Kansas outrages, and the i'm
punity with which they are committed,
there is danger that the author of all the
mischief, the friend and cOnJeree Of Atchi-
son, will be f 'rgotton or at least that he
will, in the confusion. be permitted to
escape the punishment that his crimes
against his con-tituents and his country
should b ing upon his head.
Whatever may be the guilt of Atchison,
Stringfellow and the rufian gangs that
follow their heels however Infamous
their designs and the means of their &C
complishment, they have the poor ex-
cuse that they seek the establishment of
an institution in the Territory that they
have invaded, believed by a majority of
the South to be a blessing rather than a
plague spot and a curse. Mr.. Douglas
sinned with his eyes wide open. He
knew Freedom ; it has made him what
he is. He knew the enormity Of slavery;
he depended upon it TO make him what
he may become. Atchison acts in &C.
cordance with the popular sentiment of
his State, and Stringfellow, who was
born a rufian and a scoundrel, thirsts
for blood to crafty the beastly instincts
that came into the world with him
Douglas outraged and then defed The
popular will of his constituency, and by
opening the door to bloodshed and vio-
%lence, played false to that New England
birth and education to which he lays
claim, and grossly belied the Anli-Slavery
profession of his early life. Douglas
laid the mine and Atchison sprung it
Douglas plans and Atchison executes
From whatever woes may flow from the
breaking down of that honored Compro-
mise Of 1920, the invasion of Kansas by
an armed mob, the acts of the slave
driving Legislature, the removal of Reed
er and the triumph of oligarchs, Mr..
Douglas is clearly responsible. The
actors in the infamous work are his tools
only; his is the burden of iniquity.-Chi-

NET Receipt paid into the Ohio State
Treasury from the Canals since 1850:

TOtal-.-.... sls7,s56 s25l, le5 $l74,O7S sl5e,f5
The diminution from 1851 to 1859 was
nearly oNE-HALF ; the diminution from
1859 to 1853, was oNE-FoURTH +; the d.
minution from 1853 10 1854 was Is per
cent. The nett revenue OF 1854 was only
about 81 per cent. of that in 1851.
The aggregate of canal receipts in 1854
was S508, 600; the net receipts, S152,'
$50. 1t appears, therefore, that it costs
the State of Ohio the moderate sum of
seventy PER cent o. to keep them in re-
pair, and collect the rents This was
not in one year only. 1t cost more yet
in 1853. In these two years, the tolls
on the canals were S1,130, 900. while
the nett receipts were only $3.50, 900!
One of two conclusions, only, can be
arrived at, from these figures, namely
that in the management CT the Ohio Ca.
mails, there has been gross dishonesty. or
gross Encouragement. The Columbian
says:
"Those who want to reform great
public corruption, should remember that
it is lot in the salaries Of public officers
