The Falsehoods Of Dean Richmond

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.
Col. Ro6t. Nrgent II. Il. p. NJ Gen., " y:
The representations made by Dean
Richmond and Peter Cagger in a
printed circular dated October 27, 1868,
in respect to the actions of the Provost
Marshal General are untrue. 1t is not
true that the State of New York is
charged as with deficiency for every
citizen who has paid the three hundred
dollars Communication money receiving
no credit therefore. On the contrary
the State receives the same credit for a
man who has paid Communication as il
the drafted citizen had gone in person
or furnished the substitute, and in like
manner towns which have raised the
money to pay for their quotas receive
the same credit as if actual substitutes
had been furnished.
The President has ordered that
every citizen who has paid the $500
Communication, shall receive the same
credit therefor as if he had furnished
substitute, and is exonerated from
military service for the time for which
he was drafted, to-wit, for three years
AS the misrepresentation of Dear
Richmond and Peter Cagger have
been published and circulated for cleo
pioneering purposes, it is proper thai
you give them immediate correction.

From Massachusetts.

BosToN, Nov. 3.-The vote in this
State to-day was comparatively small,
but the Republicans have made nearly
a complete sweep of everything in Bos-
ton.
The complete vote for Governor foots
up Andrew 6,S2l Paine 1904.
The Republican gain on the vote of
last year is 1000. 1t is doubtful
whether the opposition have elected
more than six Representatives to the
Legislature, and they will probably not
elect single Senator. Last year the
opposition vote was $4,000, now it will
hardly reach 10000.
Outside of Boston we do not hear oil
the election of single opposition Rep
resentative. 1t is believed that the
Senate will be unanimously Union.
BosToN, Nov. 3--Additional returns
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried Massachusetts by larger major
ity even than was anticipated.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 3, S6S.
There is great rejoicing among the
Union men here over the result of the
election in this State.
The glorious result in this city, far
exceeding the highest expectation. pro.
duces unbounded enthusiasm, and puts
a quietus upon all copperheads.
The returns from other parts of the
State come in slowly, but showing
large Union gains in all cases. From
present advices, competent Judges
place the general result at not less than
$4,000 Union majority on the home
vote, which, of course, will be largely
Increased by the soldiers vote. Put US
in the pyramid.

~ A woman in CHICAGO has sue,

W A woman in Chicago has sued
a landlord of that city for damages in
the loss of her husband and child un.
der very peculiar circumstances. The
family hired a house belonging to the
landlord, the former occupants of
which had sickened and died of small
pox. The family had been in the
house only week or two when the
father and child were fatally attacked
by the disease. No measures had
been taken to remove the infection.
and for this neglect and its fatal results
the law of Illinois holds the landlord
liable to action.

The Next Draft.

AS our readers are aware, the Pres
ident has called for 100000 additional
volunteers to fill up the now greatly
thinned ranks of our rational armies, and
to provide for those whose term of en-
listment will expire during the present
year. If this number is not raised by
volunteering previous to the fifth of
January next, then draft is to take
place. Under this call, the quota of
this county will probably be from 200
to $50 men. Now unless something is
done to induce volunteering the whole
of this number will have to be drafted.
That there is material enough in this
county there can be no doubt, if the
proper effort is made to secure it, aud
this should be done at once.
Among the different plans that we
have heard proposed, and the one
which We consider the most feasible
to fill our quota, is, for the Supervisors
to call a special meeting and offer a
bounty of from 500 to $loO, to be
paid to each recruit; then let the diff.
ferent towns offer an additional bounty,
and appoint committees to induce vol
unteering, and We feel confident that
our quota can be filled by volunteering
and thereby escape another draft.
The amount proposed to be raised may
seem large, but we think it very poor
economy to be parsimonious in this
matter. The truest economy will al
ways provide the amplest resources in
snch a case as this. Men must be had
to reinforce our armies; if they cannot
be got by volunteering then they must
be drafted, and it remains for the peo-
pie of this county to say which course
they prefer. If the plan proposed
above is adopted, we feel sanguine that
our quota can be filled. At all events
it is worth the trial, ard we hope the
Supervisors will act upon it immedi-
ately. rf

IT COsTs SOMETBlNG.-Very few
people have any idea of the great
amount of metal used in carrying on
an extensive siege. The attack on
Charleston has furnished an illustra-
ton. a single eleven-inch gun fired
sixty times, or once every ten minutes
for ten hours, will throw ten thousand
eight hundred pounds of metal. A
fifteen-inch gun fired at the same ra-
pidity, will require twenty-eight thou
sand fve-hundred and sixty pounds.
Any one one of the monitor class will
require thirty-nine thousand three humid
red and sixty pounds, nearly twenty
tons of shot. Each monitor will use
about two tons of powder per day.
The entire fleet, working at the same
rate, will hurl at the rebel Notifications
four hundred and fifty thousand pounds
OF iron in ten hours, at an expense of
fifty thousand pounds of powder; or
two hundred andotwenty-fve tons of
shot, and twenty-five tons of powder.

~ Admiral Lissoffsky and the Off
GERS of the Russian vessels, having visi-
ted Niagara Falls, returned to New
York. They were absent six days.
Starting up the Hudson River on Thurs
day morning, Oct. 2od, on board the
steamer Daniel Drew, and disappoint-
ing the authorities, the cadets and the
people Of West Poiut, who had made
extensive preparations 10 receive them,
the Russians passed to Albany, where
they remained Thursday night. On
Friday they took the New York Gen.
trial Railroad cars and arrived at Mag
ara early in the same evening during a
rain storm. The two succeeding days
were devoted to the main object of the
excursion-an inspection Of the Falls
and the points of interest in their vi
entity. On Monday morning all the
officers took parting view of Niagara,
which had excited their particular ad-
miration, and then proceeded to Buffa-
10. Subsequently they were taken on
the cars of the Erie Railroad to Elmira,
and remained there until Tuesday
morning, when they went on to New
York The receptions the officers met
with along the route were fattering
and sometimes enthusiastic but the
Admiral was not compelled to make
speeches.
