From what we are able to learn from
these letters, this curious sect believes in
the Bible as the word of God; but also
holds that it is in measure done away
with by new revelations made since the
year 1913 by ''thc voice. Of "Baneeny, .
through the medium Of the ssChief Apos-
tolic Bishop" The new revelations arc
styled the" Law and covenant of Israeli"
The property of the organization is held
in common, and thccanings of all thrown
into the common stock, somewhat after
the Kramer of the shakers. The people
are said to be quiet and orderly in their
department.. moral in their customs and
most devotcdly and blindly attached to
their religion or system Of belief.
However, stranSeit may appear, this or
ganization has during the last year rapidly
increased from fifty to eight hundred mem
bers, and is still receiving large accessi ons

The Way the Huntington County Lee
comptonites do Things.


We published a letter the other day in
which was described briefly some of tho
tricks by which the Republicans of Hun
tington county have been cheated out oil
the election there, and to-day we find in
the Peoples Press, of Wells, 1.-THE associ-
ate county in the Senatorial 6istrict,) a
further notice of the matter, that we COM
mend to the careful attention of the gentle
men who will compose the next Lcgisla-
ture:
1t has been asccrtained that fragrant
frauds were committed at the election in
Huntington. The circumstances, as near
y as we have been able to gather them,
are these:
On the morning of the election, it APP
pears that one Of the trustees, the inspector,
was absent (perhaps dcsignedly, J when a
Mr.. Hecocll, tool of the aspirants, was
appointed and sworn in, as some reports
say, by Mr.. Coffroth; others say he acted
without being sworn. At noon, when the
Board adjourned, Mr.. II. having the bal
lot-box in his possession, returned to his
house, accompanied, as rumor says, by
Messrs. Slack and Coflroth; but for the
truth of this we cannot vouch. At the
close of the election, and when the ballots
were counted out Mr. Coffroth was found
to be considerably ahead of his party,
which fac. excited some suspicion that all
was not right. On examining the bal
lots. only 81 were found to be purely Re
publican, and unscratchcd. Since the ell
cotton lis. votes have been certified, and
are willing to make oath that they voted
the pure Republican ticket, without cross
ing a name, which appears to be evidence
conclusive that the ballot box was opened
and the tickets interfered with some way.
Some 81 tickets were found with Mr.. Pet
tits name erased and Mr. Coffroth's in
serted, all in the same hand writing
Other tickets, known to have been put in
by different voters, are also missing from
the box.
An effort was male to have this fraud-
ulent vote rejected by the board of can
vassers but majority decided TO receive
them, which elects Messrs. Slack and Fire
stone to the Legislature. Their election
will, undoubtedly, be successfully contes-
ted by their opponents, Ncssrs. Delopg
and Edwards.
