WHERE DEMOCRATIC VOTES Arr
MADE.-The new excise law is bearing
so heavily on dealers in the ardent that
the selling of Intoxicating drinksE is al
most impossible. The Democratic pa
pers, the World and Ne10s, in common
with the keepers Of low doggeries, corner
groceries and dens of prostitution, are
bowling most piteously The New York
Herald speaks of its enforcement as fol-
lows:
The low groggeries that exist in pes
tilential districts and help to nurse if not
engender epidemics, will be those most
effected by the new law These places
at present furnish the means of a liveIi-
hood to perhaps twenty thousand Of the
most shiftless class of our population.
It becomes an interesting question, there
fore, as to what will become of this num-
Der of people when thrown out of their
usual employment It should also be ta
ken into consideration, that these places
are the habitu0l haunts of thousands of
Incorporate and idle persons who will be-
come homeless after these dens are shut
up. The Democratic politicians of the
city have kept these places alive by fos-
terlng them for the votes that can be OBJ
tanned therefrom. They have been liter
ally patent machines from which votes
are turned out to order"

zHE BOUNZR Bill.

The bill to equalize bounties, which
passed the House recently by an almost
unanimous vote, has not yet been acted
upon by the Senate, though there is little
doubt the bill referred to or one en-
braeing substantially the same features
will soon become law. Until it has
passed both branches we do not deem it
necessary to publish the bill entire, but
we give the following full synopsis of its
provisions as it passed the House:
The bill provides that to every soldier
sailor or marine who has been, or may be-
honorabIy discharged from service there
shall be allowed eight and one-third dol
lars per month, or at the rate of one hun
dred dollars per year, for all the time
which they served between April 18th.
1861, and April 18th, 1865; and in case
they have been discharged from the ser
vice on account of wounds received in
battle, or while engaged in the line of du-
ty, the said allowance to be computed
and paid up to the end of the term Of
service for which the enlistment was
made. In case Of the death of any while
IN the service, or in case Of death after
discharged, and before the end of the term
of enlistment, and if discharged on ae-
count of being wounded, the allowance
and payment shall be made to his widow, 1
il she has not been e-maFried or if there
be no widow, then to the minor child or
children of the deceased, who may be !
under sixteen years Of age. In eomput- /
ing and ascertaining the bounty to be |
paid, there shall be deducted Gherefrom |
all bonnties already paid, or payable, uu-
der existing laws, BY the United States, /
or by any State, county, city, town, or
other municipal organization, or By any !
voluntary association, so that in no case 4
shall the aggregate amount of bounty al t
lowed and paid from all sources exceed
eight and One-third dollars for each and (
every month of actual service, or at the
rate Of one hundred dollars per year. No
bounty is TO be paid to any Substitute, or
to any soldier discharged on the ground
Of being minor, or to any rebel deserter
who enlisted in the United States army.
N o assignments or trsnsfers of bounties
are to be permitted.

The Fenian movements, briefly refer
red to in our paper Of last week, have de-
veloped into quite a formidable demon
slration against Canada, producing in
tense excitement throughout the country
among the Irish portion Of our popula-
ton Early last week bands Of unarmed
men, natives of the Emerald Isle, num-
beriBg in some instances several hun
dreds, were observed on northward bound
trains from all sections Of the country,
the result of which movements was the
concentration of several thousand Fen
ians at Buffalo and other points on our
northern border, where they were sup
piled with arms that had been previously
shipped thither, and crossing the Niagara
river took possession Of Fort Erie on the
Canada side without opposition. On the
morning of the Sd they left Fort Erie
and advanced In the direction of Port
Colbourn, encOuntering soon after their
departure a body of 400 Canadian Mill
tia, with whom they soon became eugag-
ed, the battle resulting in a small loss on
both sides and the retreat of the Cana
dians, but the Fenians having no artil-
lery were not in a condition TO follow, and
soon after fell back to their old position
at Fort Erie. The Canadians lost in
killed and wounded ., the Fenians IA.
On the following morning news having
been received that the Canadians being
reinforced by British regulars we're ad-
vanciug in large force, the Fenians con-
cluded to return to the American shore,
but in attempting to do so $50 Of their
number were. captured by the Canadians
and 200 by the u. S. Steamer Michigan
Those captured by the Michigan included
quite a number of officers, and it is re-
ported the British Minister has demand
ed that all the prisoners taken shall be
delivered up to the Canadian authori-
ties-a demand not likely to be complied
with
1t was supposed this movement and
failure to obtain a footing IN Canada
would end the matter, but it seems not.
The members Of the order in all sections
Of the Union have held large and enthu-
siastic meetings, men by the thousand
have focked to the northern frontier,
and the latest advices received render it
highly probable that far more formida-
bic demonstration than that made at Fort
Erie will be attempted at some other
point. Gen. Mead IS at Ogdensburg,
giving personal attention to the disposi-
ion Of the u. S. forces under his COM
nand, and in addition to the captures of
ulcers and men by the Michigan, large
Quantities of arms and ammunition have
)een seized, while an order has been is /
ued for the arrest of all prominent and
eading Fenians guilty of iDfractions or
attempted infractions Of our neutrality |
avs. With this formidable opposition
N the American side, and large and /
veil armed force to oppose them in Can
da, while the Fenians are destitute of
rtillery and short of arms, ammunition
nd supplies, there Is hardly possibility
hat their enterprise should prove sue
essful, however large the number of men
Z the disposal Of the leaders. A few
ays will dispel all doubt as to the result
f the movements now in progress. and
ews from the field of operations will be
ooked for with much interest.

days since coffin containing the body Of
a lady, was shipped from Parkersburg, on
board the D. NJ. Sghler, for TRANSPORTS

being opened by the friends, their horror

covering that the unfortunate lady had
evidently come to life during her iuear-

and the tangled and disordered hair gave
evidence Of a struggle which must have

4th Reg. o. Y. /. He served with dis
