We copy from the SJate Journal. the following
remarks touching the course pursued by the
Canvassers.
The State las been ransacked from one end
TO the other for Barstow votes The opposition
have brought every illegal and fraudulent vote
in favor Of Barstow. rejected by the County
Canvassers, and counted them in the official
vote. The following are some specimens of the
changes made:

the crowning villainy was the throwing out the

only that, they added to the 3i5 majority first
returned from Waupaca Falls, and increased it
to 42l.
Mr.. Bashford viii not submit quietly to this
fraud. If redress Is TO be had. he viii endeavor
to obtain it. If the rights of the majority are
TO be cloven down by the mere dietum of what
ever unprinoipled knayes, an unprincipled, cor
rupt and reckless faction may elevate to office,
the fact should be known. We believe there Is
remedy, and that Coles BBsHFoRD viii Yet b.

Ring ont, oh cheerful steamboat bell
Heave. pillows white and blue
The giant fabric rides the swell
No more the bark canoe
While puif5 the steamblast on the gale,
The hills resound again.
As the huge courser of the rail
Whirls the roaring train.
Foam, river DER your rocky ways,
Or wind in marshes still :
The ruling arm is DER you raised,
And We must work its viii.
Swell, prairies waving far and green
With broad, majestic roll
The share and scythe strong and keen,
And claim their control.
Oh, solemn woods of oak and pine,
Your doom is nigh at hand
huge trunk and spreakng boughs resign
Before the blaze and brand.
Come, yeomen of the East the land
Awaits your destined sway
Before your steps the savage band
Like clouds shah rneIt away.
Come blue eyed Norsemen tall and fair,
Amid the forests gloom
Stout hands your rustic roofs shall rear
And win abundant room.
Come, earnest sons of Elbe and Rhine
l,c7. n checks and sinews strong
Here irlAee your fields and tend your kline,
And raise the social song
Come, Of Erin, brood no more
Ger sorrows past and goaeI
Look to the good that lies before
And labor brayely on
The bigot's narrow churlish creed,
Be held in idle scorn,
And welcome each who suffer need
AS il a native born.
So shall the fertile state be filed,
With all the strong and free,
And mingled nations join to build
Its glorious destiny.

We found Mr.. Jacob Hymrod, the patti
ent, living in the south part of the city; who
has been afflicted with the chronic rheuma-
tism for the last ten years, lying upon the
bed in an eLfeebled state, who told us that
he had heretofore tried every kind OF medi-
cal treatment without success. He had
swallowed during his sickness, vast guam
titles of mercury in the shape of calome |
and blue pills, from the effects Of which he
had nearly lost the use of his limbs. He
showed us globule Of quicksilver larger
than good sized pea, which he said had been
gathered from the bottom of the electric
bath in which he had been placed.
He had been seated upon metallic stool
in an insulated zinc bath, we'll coated with
paint, and his feet irtiriersed in acidulated
water. The galvanic battery was then ap.
piled, the positive pole heldin the left hands
of the patient, the negative pole being in the
bath. 1t is claimed that the power of the
electricity upon the system is such as to
eradicate every metallic substance, and, BY
means of the wire; It is deposited in the bot
tom of the tub. 1t requires some twenty
four hours for the globulesto collect them
selves, SO as to be perceptible to the naked
eye, when they may be seen by thousands
clinging to the sides and bottom of The
bath. s ...t ..s 1a ssr ss5 ..7lasi
We were informed by the doctors that
three drachms of quicksilver had already
been taken from the patient, who, together
with his friends and relatives present, con-
firmed the statement w EE3s
