Fraud in Returning Votes.

MR. EDITOR -
If the several towns in this county did
not possess more impartial Boards of Can
vassers than that of the town of Newton,
our Republican friends, in concert with
outcasts of Democracy, would now be Gel
ebrsting sa'inet" vic DRY.
In the town just mentioned, received
thirty five votes for County Supervisor,
and yet this honest and enlightened Board
Of Canvassers does not give me credit for
one Mr.. ScnNIrz, Chairman of sald
town, declares 1t to be mistake on the
part of his brother; but as l remained at
the polls until the close of the canvass,
much doubt the truth Of his assertion,-
The fact is, that the Chairman and Clerk
are brothers, and as warm supporters of
the "satinet" movement, did not hesitate
to make harmless mistakes, regardless Of
the solemn responsibility of the oath which
was administered to them previous to the
opening Of the polls.
Had blank Leen returned, or had any
other candidate for Supervisor obtained
credit for those thirty>fve votes, it would
not appear SO glaringly ridiculous. But
instead of resorting to any Of these meth>
DDS, those liberal souls make present of
them to JOIN B. BURKE! This, too, must
have been done on "secoLd consideration"
as on the evening of election day they
allowed the undersigned to copy from the
official returns, in which Mr.. BURKE, as
Supervisor, was not credited with the re-
ceipt Of nary one"
Mr.. ScHM1Tz has occupied the position
of Town Clerk for the past seven or eight
years, and if he still practices mistakes like
this, what must he have done when he was
green at the business If he disposes of
votes at the dictation Of another, or at the
pleasure OF . l;:csAlf should lie be allowed
to LoIq .u.Ssh responsible trust If he
still commits such whoirsale and innocent
blunders, should be not be reported to the
overseers of the insane as | am inclined
to think that no man with grain of com.
mon sense would endeavor to palm off as
genuine such notorious counterfeit more
especially on watchful public.
The bringing to light of this transaction
will, | trust, induce voters to jealousy
watch the canvsssiug of votes at future
elections The privilege of voting what
we please, and for whom we please, Is the
principal liberty which we enjoy, aud if
our ballots are tempered with, that liber-
ty is as useless a. if it did not exist. The
honest men Of this town will keep An eye
on SCHMITz & Co. for the future, and if
ever caught violating their trust by mis-
take or otherwise, shall receive closer at
tention than exposing their incapacity
through public print.

MILWAUKEE, AND CHICAGO SAILORS AT
PoRr RoYAL.-The crew Of the gun boat
Ottawa, and, we presume, of other vessels
engaged in the capture of Forts Walker
and Beauregard, at Port Royal, were re-
crui,ed in Chicago and Milwaukee, by
Thomas II. STEVENS, who commanded
the Ottawa in the engagement Lieut..
STEVENS was formerly the First Lieuten-
ant of the Government steamer Michigan,
Of the Lake service. He obtained two
hundred and thirty sailors in Chicago, and
fifty in Milwaukee, for the new CUNT boats.
JoHS BARRY, Manitowoc boy, is sailor
on the frigate Sasquehanndh. which took
an important part in the capture.

by the Rev. Father STAIRS, Vicar General.

The THREATENED FAMINE IN IRELAND

The THREATENED FAMINE IN IRELAND.
Though the destruction of the potato
crop in Ireland, bv disease, is not so gem
eraI as was apprehended short time ago.
there will be much suffering before the
close of the coming winter. The London
News of the 7th inst, says, 4" From the
mouth Of the Foye to the broad estuary
of the Shannon, the failure of the potato
crop is said to be more general and com,
plete than in any year since 1910; - but as
this view does not precisel accord with
the statements by the Belfast Wing and
other Irish journals, we may hope than
there is some misconception in regard to
the extent of the disaster The London
News remarks as follows respecting those
localities which are most severely affect
ed:
A great portion Of the soil in the coun.
ties bordering on the ocean is inferior to
that of the central and eastern districts o.
the island and the climate is far more
humid and less suited to corn cultivation.
lsemoteness from the greater markets for
produce, and the total absance of any spe>
cies Of commerce or of manufacture, cons
tribute likewise to render Donegal, Sligo
Mayo Galway and Clare poorer than any
other five counties Of equal extent N Ira>
laud. In this out Of the-way region it
was that the disastrous Gearth Of 1922
was peculiarly felt, and the still more ia, al
famine Of 1>47; and here we are once
more warned to look for the approach Of
general destitution ard its inevitable con-
comitant, disease. The failure of the 20
taio is still the cause of the danger to
which the peasantry are exposed, though
other circumstances in the present year
tend greatly to aggravate it. The conlin-
uos rains in the counties we have named
and, we are sorry to say, in several Of
those adjacent to them, have rendered it
impossible to save tue hay crop from de-
struction, or the turf, which constitutes
the only fuel Of the district, in a condition
fit for present use.

rectiy over the vault. the flooring had been
taken up in small and perfect pieces aud

railroad tie, the stone was pried up until
space enough was afforded to admit one
of the thiev es into the vault. The money
having been distracted, the stone was
nicely replaced, as also was the flooring,
the pieces screwed down and the holes
putlied up. A sIedge hammer, ratchet
drill, and broken railroad tie were found
slowed away between the floor and the top
Of the vault.
