ELECTORAL PURITY IN IRELAND.-Among the
many revelations of electoral purity which have
lately been brought before the public there is
rather a curious one from the sister isle. During
the late election for Athlone, certain Mr. Pat
rick Geoghegan stimulated the patriotic readi-
ness of William Tracy to vote for Mr.. Ennis, by
depositiug in his hands the halves OF forty 81
notes. In due time, when Tracy applied tor the
corresponding portions, after all was over, they
were fatty refused. This lax morality and
breach of faith so ranked in the applicants in
iured breast that be determined to recover his
honest earnings forthwith by legal proceedings.
Having consulted solicitor, however, he was
informed, TO his great delight, that instead OF
urging doubtful claim to the disputed "G4O'
he might, ifso inclined, prosecute Mr.. Patrick
Geogbegan for bribery, and put the resulting line
OF SlOO IN his own pocket. The suit was i'm
mrdlately Instituted, and tried at Galway. The
defendant allowed Judgment TO go by default,
and the tull penalty was Inflicted but he lodged
q demurrer on the ground OF some intormality
This demurrer was pronounced invalid, and Nh
WIN. Tracy has netted the &l00, clear OF all ex
peuses. The example of q tew cases OF the easy
earning OF 9lO0 by intorners might greatly as
sist in upsetting the present system OF bribery

AUCTION SALES.
MILLER'S IRON WORKS.
SALE WITHOUT RESERVE.
OCTOBER 10TH 1869.

WI ODEA LUZ IL iOO0.
T HAVE as trustee of John Miller, made two at
4 tempts to sell the Furnace Forge, Mills and Farms
constituting the extensive property known as MIL
LER'S IRON WORKS in the County of Rock
ingham
now give fair notice to all who are in any wise
concerned that on the 10Th of October 1852 viii at

1t now becomes of the last Importance that oil inter-
ested shall to the protection of their interests and
hope will fail to be present as the sale will
suredy be made.
The Furnace and Forge are extensively known for
the superior quality of the metal they produce but 1t
may not be generally known that they are construct
ed upon large scale and with every appliance which
experience has suggested for conducting the Iron
manufacture to the best advantage. 1t is believed
that there are no superior Iron Works in Virginia.
The Merchant Mill, Chopping Mill, and Saw Mill
are all of the best construction, and are abundantly
supplied with unfailing water-power.
The Farms, some seven or eight in number and
containing in the aggregate more than three thou
sand acres of arabic and productive land-have been
laid off and divided with view to suit a variety OF
purchasers so that no one wishing to buy farm can
fail to find one to suit him.
Upon the whole can say, with confidence, that
there has rarely occurred in Virginia such opportu
nifty for an investment in really valuable property
Persons disposed 10 examine the property are re-
ferred to Mr.. John Miller, who will take pleasure in
giving any information on the subject.
AT the same time and place will sell SIX MULE
TEAM with wagon, harness and furniture complete,
and perhaps some other personal property.
TERmS-For the real estate one forth In six months
and the residue in three equal annual payments
thereafter bearing interest from the sale and secured
by endorsed negotiable notes and trust deed upon
the property.
For the personal property four months credit upon
endorsed negotiable paper interest added.
