Fifty Democrat Isl, icted.

The Leavenworth jail is filled to overlooking
with good tried, staunch and valiant De-
mocrats," who have been arrested and indie
ted for fraudulent voting at the recent election.
More than fifty of the b'ys are in the jug for
obeying the party injunctions, viz; voting
until the poles were closed" The legal in
veStigation now going on is disclosing an
old fashioned CicEapoo or Oxford swinlle.-
These fifty elegant Democrats are but pre-
face Of what is to come! The Republicans
are confident that the apparent Democratic
majority will be more than spongcd out ere
the frauds committed in Lcayenworth are
prohed TO the bottom.
The Last Kansas Legislature passed a
Registry law, and the very day after the late
election, the officers commenced regiStling
the legal voters Of Leavenworth county. 1t is
probably completed by this time, and it was
confidently expected that fully .tfce Ma1rel
bogus names would be found on the poll
books in that one county. Similar frauds
were committed in every county in the Ter
ritory, in which the Democrats h ID any hope
of success.
tits now generally believed that the Re-
publicans polled considerable majority of
the legal votes cast in Leavenworth county,
and if this be substantiated, the ten seats in
Convention claimed by the ballot-box stuff
ers will be given to the Republicans. In
Doniphan and johnson counties it is also as
certained that scores offraudulent votes were
cast by the Democrats, and IT, this cause
alone their success is attributed. The new
Registry law will put stop to these nefari-
ons Democratic practices, in future, and will
have the effect of reducing the Democratic
vote in all the river counties. IF each Dem
ocratic voter is confined to casting one Dem
ocratic vote on election day, there is not a
county in Kansas which this party can carry.

COMMERCIAL MATTERS.

COURIER Office, June 22.-The weather
during the past week has been linked -
the last two or three days warm, with an oc-
casional shower. 1t is fine growing weather,
and the countenance of the farmer brightens
daily with the promising prospect, it (the
prospect is all he looks at now.
The river continues to fall, slowly. The
boats in the trade make their voyages as
heretofore-doing lively business.
During the past week business in the city
has been moderately fair. The produce
market has been dropping, operated upon by
the fall in prices East. 1t is a singular an.
omoly to many, that while the last foreign
news actually shows that ali the operating
reasons which produced the late heavy Use
in breadstuds are still in force and really in
creased, yet on the receipt Of the news there
was an immediate decline in grain, &C., in
our eastern markets. But the fact is, while
the late high prices ought eventually to have
been reached with the progress of the war
they sprang up too suddenly here, an | in q
manner not justified by the quotations o.
foreign markets. Flour, for instance, has
been selling higher at Chicago than in Liv,
erpool. The receipts OF produce during the
week were very fair, but shipments light. =
Our forwarding and commission houses are
doing a iourishing trade-trade of all kind
is greatly improving.
The market has but little changed since
our last issue. The mills of the city are il
operation; and the supply of wheat being
fair, slight fall in -four is anticipated. Oul
dealers are selling prime fall at $3.50, and
spring 1925 y cwt.

The damage to the growing crops by the
frost on the nights ofthe 4th and 5th inst
are more extensive than was at first sup
posed. Over Northern and Central Him
DIS, India ia and Ohio and New York corn
and other growing vegetables have been cut
down, grapes and fruit nearly destroyed and
great injury done to the Wheat. And the
damage to the Wheat, which is estimated to
be equal to destruction of one fourth to
one-third, over this large region of country
must have considerable effect upon the mar
ket, diminishing the supply to a considerable
extent. We in Iowa have reason for thank
fitness that we escaped this great calamity
that our fruits are left untouched and our
fields still give promise of a rich harvest.

The Savannah Ne,cs has report of an ex-
ceedingly large and attentive meeting in that
city to hear an address on the necessity for
the revival of the African slave trade. At
the close three resolutions were unanimously
duty of the Southern people to import as
many slaves direct from Africa as conyen-
lent, and to be the opinion cf the meeting
that "the laws of the General Government
prohibiting the importation of slaves from
Africa are all unconstitutional and void, and
ofno effect, except as foul blot on the most
cherished institutions of the South, and that
they ought to be repealed by Immediate leg
islati0n."

A SINGULAR PRoPHEcY.-The following
curious paragraph is from the Cologne cor
respondent of the Continental Reriep:
1--WE may now afford to smile at the sin
gular prophecy of the Westphalian Shep-
herd, who lived some hundred and fifty
years ago, and who predicted terrible Eu-
ropean war, in the course of which the Turks
should cool their feet in the Rhine. These
things-thus runs the tradition-were to
come to pass when carriages run without
horses, AMI the Prussian soldiers were dress
ed like the soldiers who crucified Christ.
Carriages do run without horses, and the
silhouette ola Prussirn soldier, in his tunic
and helmet, is in all respects that off Ro-
man legionary. But the superstitious, who
speculatcd on this singular prohecy, could
never reconcile with it the decline Of the
Turkish power, and the manifest inproba-
bility of the Snltan's troops carrying the
standard Of the Prophet to the banks of the
Rhine. They forget that France has Algerine
regiments of Spahis and Zou ,ze, and that
many of them are as good Mussulmen as
ever walked in the streets of Stamboul

Ifthere is any sham Republicanism in the
Country, we also rejoice that it is drawing to
close, leaving nothing but true Republican
ism on the one side and Pro-Slavery Democ-
racy on the other. The day of true Repnb-
licanism is utjust breaking, and the sun of
its glory is nov rising to the horizon. In
nearly every Northern State true Republi
CAM 'm is not only "the power" but its
strength is fast increasing. In the Southern
States, those opposed 70 it are divided and
distracted, and in some Of these States Re-
publican principles are advocated by thou
sands of citizens, although these men may
not call themselves Republicans" There
is no sham Republicanism in Iowa, but an
immense amount of the pure and upadulter-
aled article. We shall let our Dubuque CO.
temporary know when any symptoms of a
decline of this kind of Republcanism are
visable, as we do not think he is in posi-.
ton to honestly form an opinion on the sub,
ject, and ifhe could do So he will have to
give his opinion on better authority than
himselfto make it pass current. -Dayenport
