FRAUDS AT THE PoLLs.-Charges of gross
frauds are reiterated by the Republican papers
throughout the State. We publish all that
we see are sustained by any plausible proof
Mr.. Cumback is said to have been defeated by
imported voters In 1854, Mr. G. was elected
by majority Of 670, and at the recent cleo
ton he received 26O more votes than was
given him two years ago; yet his opponent has
now been elected by 1894 majority, and the
district that in 1854 had but s, 391 Democrats,
has this year polled 10,725 votes for tbs De-
mocracy; and the increase in the whole dis
trict has been 1884 votes. This in a rural dis
trict where the changes in population are
very gradual,s.is an unnatural and unaccount-
able increase. Yet the Republicans, the au-
thors Of the charges can adduce only here
and there instances of the introduction Of five
or ten fraudulent voters at precinct, all of
which were detected; the proofs and made
quate to the charges. And in such districts
where the population is fixed, are the worst
places to introduce body of strange illegal
voters. We must seek for some other reasons
for these results. .

OF Some Of the Republican papers recon-
mend that their party in the Senate, where it
is supposed they have majority, shall refuse
to join the House for the election of United
States Senators, next winter; thus following
the unjustifable examples of the Democrats
in 1874 and 1855. Such course would be
an outrage upon the constitutional duties OF
the Senate, and no member could unite in a
vote for such purpose, without palpably vio-
lating his oath to support the constitution of
the State and that of the Union. No exam
ple-no wrong done by others, would be any
justification for an act so revolutionary in its
character.

Henderson Fair.

We had the pleasure, Wednesday, of visiting
the Fair Grounds at Henderson, and we &C.
knowledge our surprise in finding such COM
plete arrangements as have been made by the
citizens. The visitors occupy an amphithea-
ire of semi-circular form, capable Of seating
several thousand persons. The ring for the
exhibition of stock is Immediately in front of
the amphitheatre, affording the crowd fine
opportunity of seeing the stock on exhibition.
The ladies' were there, seemingly more inter-
ested in the contests of the horses than the
gentlemen. During the half hour we were
present, entries were made of horses in har-
ness and some twenty wagons came in
Mr. Russell Bement drove the horse that took
the $40 cup at our Fair, and distanced the
Kentucky horses with ease. His success was
warmly applauded by the crowd. The dust
along the road leading to the Fair is serious
Inconvenience to those visiting the Fair, but
notwithstanding the dust, the crowd was
large, andeEvansville well represented. The
establishment of these County Fairs in differ
ent portions of the country, will do much to
encourage farmers in improving their stock
and will be delightful reunions of the citizens
interested in the progress and development Of
our agricultural interests.
Yesterday was the day for awarding premi-
ums to the fast horses. We shall notice the
result tomorrow.

or Burlingame the challenger of Bnlly
Brooks has repeated the same speech through
out the entire campaign. 1t has frequently
been reported at different places and on COM
pairing the reports, the same jokes and witt
cisms were found repeated in all of them. This
is more often done than the public suspect. In
the Polk and Clay campaign, the celebrated S.
s. Prentiss, reiterated the same speech at all
the principal points in the Union; beginning
at New Orleans, going through the Atlantic
cities, and coming down the Ohio River to Miss
issippi. It was however speech worthy Of
being repeated.

0FThe rice crop this year will be poor and
short, it is said. On the Savannah river,
however the fields, which are now being har-
vested, will afford an average yield. On the
South Carolina Islands planters will not make
their seed. Several large plantations of rice
are being opened on the Mississippi, below N.
Orleans, where the lands are too wet for su-
gar; the rice from which is equal to the Caro-
lima rice.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRIoT.-Ehe

several counties of the Second Congressional

A HUGE SwINDLER.-In New Orleans many
of the free Creole Mulattoes and some of a
dark shade, are pretty large money operators
.-loaning on deposits and discounting mort
gagged paper. One of these gentry, by the
name of Ferrand has passed fraudulent and
forged checks on louisiana banks for various
sums, amounting to $4,000, and absconded;
and it is supposed he will make his way to
France, and will strut upon the Boulevarda
of Paris, where there is no prejudices against
color.
