A HIGH HANDED OUTRAGE.


One Of the most gross attempts at fraud ever per-
perated in this Congressional District was attempted
and successfully accomplished, by Mr. Shannon, the
Prothonotary of this county, On last Friday at the
meeting of the Return Judges to count the soldier
vote. Mr.. Shannon was in duty bound by the 'tAct
to regulate elections by soldiers in actual military
service, to rern certified copy Of ALL the votes
received to the Judges at their meeting. This was
made necessary, as some one had to receive the
votes, and unless the person designated to receive
them, was placed under some obligations to return
them under oath or by certificate, all such votes as
were received, and more, the door for frauds up
on soldiers would be thrown wide OPEN This sec.
ton of the law making it obligatory upon the pro-
thonotary to certify the returns received reads thus
SECTION 1s 1t shall be the duty of the prothono
tary OF the county, to whom such returns shall be
made to deliver, to the Return Judges of the same
county, copy, certified under his hand and seal
OF the returns OF votes transmitted to him by the
uegeS OF election, aforesaid or as officially certi
ned BY the Secretary of the Commonwealth, as a.
foresaid, to said Prothonotary.
This section gives the prothonotary no discretion
In the premises, was the intent of the act to do
SO, it passed to meet the very tissue or case
raised by that gentleman to authorize the produc-
ton of all votes received nothing more Mr.. Shan.
non knew that the law had made provisions for just
such cases, when it says:
SECTION 27.-No mere informality in the matter
of carrying out, executing, any of the provisions
Of this act should nvalidate any election held un
der the same Or authorize the returns thereof, to
be rejected or set aside.
But Mr.. Shannon knew as lawyer that neither
he nor the Return Judges had any power to re-
ject votes and still he takes upon himself the re-
sponsiblity, and asked the Judges to sustain him in
his fraud of throwing out 81 votes cast for Gen.
Koontz, because he believed the loss of that num-
Der would defeat him, and knowing, in all probable
ity, that the some course would be pursued in Ad-
ans county, Gofroths election would be secured -
But he will be mistaken.
There appears to be grand system of frauds in
augurated, by which the Copperheads intended to
disfranehize the soldiers, everywhere, from the
sending of fraudulent ballots by the dry goods box
in New York, to the throwing out of their votes
when returned to those, authorized to receive them

Your responce to our call for Blackberry Brandy

we shall be fully able, we hope, to satisfy ihe de-
mand We know how much pleasure such infornaa-
ton will give to those who SO promptly sent what

Again we make an appeal to our generous contrib
utors, not as before for an immediate, but for pros
peetive want. God has blessed as with great abun
dance offruit and vegetables Shall not our soldiers
share His liberal gifts with us We know that you
are laying by store Of these articles for your own
family use this winter. win not every housekeeper
add to what she Is putting bp for her family few
cans of peaches and tomatoes for our sol diers?
This, too is the season for putting up pickles If
cucumbers are gathered now and put in salt. they
win be ready for picking in October. We beg that
they may not be allowed to rot on the vines, when
they might prove such comfort to our soldiers If
sent to US in SALT we viii gladly undertake to have
them prepared with vinegar and spices in this city
If scuryey appears next winter in our army, every
much better to be in readiness. Besides. the oon-
fort Of our poor fellows in the hospitals is largely
promoted by hayeing abundance Of canued fruits
and Vegetables. They viii have them just SO snrey
as you provide the Sanitary Commission with the
means. We think the appropriation offunds to this
purpose on the part of our Aid Societies win be
timely and judicious, and the best work they can
now do for the cause. The price of sugar need be
no serious objection. One pound ofsagar is suffi-
cent for four or five pounds Of peaches, and it il
possible to put them up in tin to keep perfect
~ well with no sugar at all. The cans should be
closely soldered. The cost Of cans in this city is
sixteen dollars per hundred. Let us have an abun-
danee of both peaches and tomatoes, but especially
the latter for next winters use among our sick sol
diers. Past experience teaches US not to question
your response.
