Usurpasion ian Wapello County.

A characteristic Tory outrage was com.
United few days since by the Tory Super
visor. of Wapello county. Mr. GILLESPIE,
Republican candidate for Clerk of that csun
ty, received military majority of 267. On
the home vote his competitor received ma.
jority of 20. The majority, therefore. of
Mr.. GILLESPIE on both votes, i, 81 Tne
Board of State Canyassers certified to the
army majority of Mr.. GILLESPIE; but despite
the direct Official evidence of n is election, the
Board O, Supervisors for that county, eight
Of wh,m are Tory and six Republican, voted
by majority of two.to set aside the if
cate of the State Canya ,sers, and adiudge
the award of election to the Tory candidate!
1t is well known that frauds of every char.
acter have been, and are, subsidiaries Of the
Democratic cause, but We remember nothing
IN the history OF ballot stuliings and Kicka-
poo villanies, which is equal to this stretch
Of usurpatlon! A little Legislature, com
posed OF a majority of self styled Democrats
IN Tory county, assumes che authority to
set aside the official vote Of its own county
and the official certificate Of the State Can
vassers and in defiance of law, and prece-
dent and evidence, 1t pronounces candidate
successful whose defeat by majority of ~
is as clear as human evidence can make it /!
The election franchise is set aside az Of no
account. Testimony is repudiated. Official
figures have no merit nor excellence, The
certificate of the State Board is of no avail
Soldiers are treated with contempt and dis.
franchised.
We denounce the act Of this Tory Board
OF Supervisors as simply atrocious. Blu
they have done as they were taught by Dem
ocratcinstructors. They have taken lessons
of Candle box Calhoun, They have heard
from Kckapoo, and they have heard from the
Pembina District in Minnesota. They have
learned at the feet Of the Usage Tories in
Mitchell county and, in the light of their
instructions they have surpassed the vllainy
of their Tory exemp.ers The Shareholders
Rebellion began in an impou. disregard of
the will of IMPURITIES f; and the same damn
ing crime which sunderel the Union is re-
enacted by Tory Supervisors in Iowa.!-

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Offical informa.
ton from Mexico represents the condition Of
the French army as most critical, their ranks
being thinned by sickness and want ofwhole
some food. Ships have been sent to this
country for supplies of various kinds, and
empowered TO take large contracts for future
use. The matter having reached the Maxi-
can Minister here, he has entered his solemn
protest against such supplies being allowed
to go forward. Secretary Seward, however
declines to Interfere, complaint being made
that he even extends to the French the priv
ilege denied to Mexicans. Whatever cause
may exist for this charge, it is unquestioaa
hle that much i'll feeling is being engender-
ed in the Mexican Embassy. There is Ger,
tainly no occasion for the general air OF
doubt that seems to surround the news.
