Democratic PIundering in Michigano

The Detroit 1duertiser is showing up the
heavy frauds and peculatiOn of the Demo
cratic office holders in that State, the funds
cOnsecrated to educational purposes have
alone been robbed to the amount of not less
than $4,000 1t charges further that, after
the final overthrow of the Democracy there,
in 1854, the officials as a last grab, revived and
allowed set of fraudulent claims, which had
been thoroughly examined and repeatedly re-
jected in previous years, amounting to more
than 100000, depicting the State Treasury
to that extent, as their farewell benefit. The
heaviest of these allowances (S35, 000) has
been sued for, under Republican auspices,
and Judgment has been obtained in favor of
the State.
There are few of the items which go
make dark record against the Michigan De-
mocrcy, showing that, during the fourteen
years of their undivided sway, their officials
have wasted Or directly pocketed not less than
three millions Of tile peoples money! The par
ticulars are fully set forth, and we are not
aware that these charges have been at all sue
cessfully met by the other side. They are
telling with powerful effect upon the pending
election, and with good reason.
-"Three millions of the peoples money"
plundered during the fourteen years undi-
vided sway of the Michigan Democracy !.
Thank Heaven, the reign of the Democracy
in Minnesota is destined to be very short; or
we too would doubtless show an equally dark
record ere many years rolled around. Not
yeta State one year, Democratic management
has already footed up State expenditure Of
not less than $35O,OOO!

A Funny Sell-.DOgmatism and a Catas-
trOphe.

Doctors are very wise men, sometimes. We
know they are, because we have been one
ourself Iffurther confirmation were needed,
the following from the New Bedford (Mass.)
Mercury would abundantly illustrate the fact:
In certain village down eastward, where
fourishes a literary institution, gentleman
took one of a family of infant puppies, and,
gaining entrance into neighbour house be-
fore the folks were wide awake enough to
know what he was about, chucked the little
creature among litter of kittens of like ten
der age. Puss made no distinction between
the stranger and her own offspring, and he on
his own part took kindly and confidingly to
his new nurse. Great was the astonshment
of the household, when it was discovered Gas
they supposedly that their cat was the dam of
a puppy. The news of SO portentious birth
spread over town like wildfre People came
in ilocks to see the sight. The fortunate pos
SCISSOR was offered five dollars for the little
monster, but declared that he would not part
with it for five hundred That the case night
not fail of due Authorization, two physicians,
of the first responsibility, were summoned to
inspect and report upon it. They Justly and
severally scrutinized the animal and found
that it was certainly a puppy, having all the
characteristics of the dog race, except tie 5dscs
Those were pronounced to resemble cats
claws. The perpetrator Of the joke could MT
hold in any longer. The cat was out of the
bag in twinkling, and if the doctors outlive
the memory of their essay in comparative
zoology, they will be more lucky than most
victims of the "sell."

TRIBUNE.


Hon. f. P. Blair, Jr., is engaged in contest
ing the election of Barrett in the ST. Louis
District In the examination II witnesses
some rich developments are being made. 1t
is clear that hundreds voted, who had no
more right to do it than the Pope Of Rome
would have had Even criminals were par
doned that they might vote Fines were re-
mitted on condition that they would vote for
Barrett Mr.. John G. II. Cunningham, a
Deputy Marshal, said, under oath, that just
before the election about thirty pardons were
brought into his office, most of the persons
being fined for selling liquor without license
and fined on their own plea of guilty. Anoth-
er Deputy told this Cunningham that an ar
rangement had been made by which these
unlicensed liquor dealers should have theil
fines RENTED, provided they would vote fol

This same witness produced the docket of the
Criminal Court, and read from it the list OF
the names of persons who had been pardoned
by the Governor few days prior to the elce-
ton, with the fines assessed against them
1t was also proved that they voted for Barret
1t was by such outrageous acts as this that

MIR. DOUGLAS Excited

We had heard before the election, from
gentlemen of both parties arriving from Hi
nOis, that Mr.. DOUGLAS was drinking hard
and to excess as the campaign progressed
but were unwilling to give the reports Gre
dence. An article in the Chicago Democrat
Of November Sd, given below, would seem,
however, to corroborate the correctness of the
previous rumors. 1t is not creditable that a
man who fills so large a share of the public
mind as Mr.. DOUGLAS, and who aspres to be
President of the United States, should evince
so little balance of mind and dignity of char
acter as to permit himself to become ''the
arorse for i2uor," and engage in a brawl at
an election poll, on the very day when hun
dreds Of thousands of people were voting up
on him as a great pivot in public affairs The
following is the article from the Chicago DEM
0crut- the Mr.. BAKER mentioned was S. L.
BAKER, Republican candidate for the Legs-
lature -
DOUGLAS GETS GREATLY EXCITED AND PER-
soNALLY ABUSES Mr. BAKER AND TIE Police.
Whilst Senator Douglas was in the line on
his way to vote, and within about one hun
dred of the polls, several of his friends
called to Mr. Baker, who stood near by, and
told him that, as he was a candidate, and
wanted to be off electoneering they would
let him into the line in front. Mr. Baker
hearing no objections, at once stepped into the
line.
The moment Judge Douglas saw this, he
commenced abusing the Police as Black Re
publican hirelings and said they were hired
to keep Democrats back from the polls and to
favor Republicans
Upon hearing the remarks of Senator Doug
las TO the Police, Mr.. Baker at once withdrew
from the line and apologized by saying, that
he would not have gone in the line, save, as
he thought by unanimous consent.
The Senator then commenced abusing Mr..
Parker in his usual blackguard strain. He
said that Mr.. Baker was one of the Central
Committee who had been perpetrating frauds
with reference to him, and trying to inure
him.
Mr. Baker good humoredly told the Sena-
tor that he was responsible for all he had said
or written about him, and that, as he acas tie
@orse .t0r liquor, he had nothing more to say
to HIM then.

Some idea of the strenuous efforts of the
Democracy of Massachusetts to defeat Mr..
Burlingame, may be gathered from the follow
ing extract from letter, written to the New
York Times, just before the election:
The Democrats have set upa school for the
improvement of their Irish friends in the use
full arts of reading and writing 1t would be
a capital subject for the caricaturist, that Of
such men as Colonel Heard, Colonel Greene,
Mr. Hallett, and other portly, good looking
Democrats, instructing the "better citizens"
in the key of knowledge The teaching is so
good that only five persons have been turned
back for deficiencies, and, no doubt, they'll
be fixed before the I'd of November. The
Democrats have got ahead of the Republicans
in No. 8, in getting voters on the list, to the
number of 300, which may make the differ
encc between defeat and victory. In 1856,
MIR. Burlingame was aided bya portion of the
Irish citizens of the District, but | cannot
learn that there is any division among them
now. "The Irish Brigade" is apparently
united, and means to make Fontenoy of the
battle-if it can. If Mr.. Burlingame should
be beaten, it will be the work of the Irish
and they will not gain much by their conduct
Much money has been spent in this contest
not less than $4,000, and probably more
Nothing like this ever before happened in Bos-
ton, and it shows how much our election con-
tests have changed in character.
-Burlingame was elected, Notwithstanding,
by an increased majority This putting of
the Irish tosctool will not be understood with
out we explain, that in Massachusetts, voter
must be intelligent enough and well educated
enough to be able to real the ballot which he
intends voting! That seems good law
which sets the Democratic leaders to educa-
ting the Irish to read, as well as their old
practice of teaching them to vote early and
ctten, TO bludgeon pcaceable Americans and
Germans from the polls, or to swear in their
votes on false and forged naturalization pa
pers! The world does make some progress
