Ru,iux Vote. With Flour.

Judging from the following, clipped
from the GAINESVILLE Signal, Wheeling is
not the only place in which the Radi-
calls attempted to buy votes for their
candidates with flour:
Let us only refer to the case of Evericb,
who, early in the morning, took the
Wagoners (who are known by every one
to be idiots to the polls, made them the
machines through which he put in his
ballots, took them across the street,
gave them sack Of flour apiece (the
price fixed upon,) and then sent them
home. All this they did opeuly, un-
blushingly; Delano's friends admitting
it all. Judging from the election re-
turns, if all the fools who voted the
Dis-union Radical tickets took their pay
in flour, corn bread will be at q discount
for while in some localities.

EXTRAORDINARY ESGINEERING.-In
an abstract Of the report of Brigadier
General d. c. McCallum, Military Di-
rector and Superintendent of Railroads
in the United States, by the apoint-
ment of the War Department, we find
the following specifications of services
rendered by his construction corps:
"Some of the achievements of Gener-
al McCallum's department deserve to
rank with the most remarkable engin-
eering feats of modern times. The Won
derful bridge over the ChattahoOchee,
seven hundred and eighty feet long, q
feet high, was built by the construction
corps in four and Il halfdays; the bridge
over the Potomac Creek, ut Aqua, four
hundred and fourteen feet long, and
eighty-two feet high, was built, ready
for trains to pass, i'll forty working
hours. In their leasurc time tins corps
rebuilt the Chattanooga rolling mill,
which turned ont in n few months near
ly 1000 tons of railway iron for the gov
ernment, and were sold at the end of
the war for hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars. With justitiable
pride Gen. McCallum classes the attempt
to supply Sherman's army of Il hundred
thousand men and sixty thousand horses
and mules from a base three hundred
and sixty miles distant, over a line OF a
single track, as one of the bOldest ideas
of the war. Whole corps, and even
armies, were frequently transported
hundreds of miles on the mere verbal
orders of their commanders. In 1850 the
Fourth Army Corps were transported
from last Tennessee to Nashville,
Il distance Of $50 miles, without
delay or difliculty-thiS hcrculcan task
rcgiring nearly fifteen hundred cars.
Nor were the services thus rendered un-
attended with danger. Guerrillas and
raiding parties doggcd the footsteps OF
the construction corps wherever they
went. In the first six months of 1868
one wrccling train picked up and
brought into Nashville sixteen wrecked
locomotives and nearly three hundred
car loads of wheels and bridge iron, the
destructive handiwork of rebel raiders.
Hood was Il thorn in McCallum's side, but
the damage lie did waS repaired with
wonderful celcrity. In October, 1S6i,
Hood, passing round Sherman's army,
tore up thirty-fvc miles of track and
burned four hundred and fifty feet of
bridges between Chattanooga and At
lanta. The damage was made good and
the line put in working order again in
thirteen days. Between Tunnel Hill
and Resaca, twenty-five miles of track
and two hundred and thirty feet of
bridging were reconstructed i'll seven
days and half.

Moro Radical Oufrages.

Nc are credibly informed that the
tcEnship Registrar at Grafton, West
Ykginia, failed to register the names
o. some three gentlemen who had APP
o1Ied to him, and whom he had agreed
90 enrol. One of these parties offered
70 vote on election day, but as it was
understood that he would vote the Con-
o6xrative ticket, the absence of his
uodae from the registration books was
hol to Justify his exclusion. He estab-
lied his application to the Registrar
end the Registrars agreement to enrol
In, but to no purpose. The election
6ccrs held that no man unregistered
sd vote. Soon after the voter had
rc< red, it transpired that he intended
te|<pte the Radical ticket. A reconsid'
eln(ion of the decision was had. He was
se1.t for, notified of the change of the
.c1rrt's views, and i'll compliance with
thcelecticn boards request, returned tC
TO the polls and darkened the hole ol
fh44 ballot-boX with negro suffrage
ticlAt. The iniquity of board that
wonld thus shape and change its decis

party advantage at the sacrifice of con
elof6ncy and dccency, is too manifest t.

icals down there, would certainly not

and We have no doubt they all showed
their gratitude to the "Boys in Blue

trict, we are advised, "Hon. ID. d. I.

WORTH ought to be elected" He will be
an honor to the profession. But if the
Legislature have other duties than an
illicit pork trade, FARNswoRTH would
probably be of little value to its delib-
erations. Like all of his vocation, he
knows more of law-breaking than
of law-making, and while his pres
ent inclinations continue, the
character of his knowledge is
not likely to be altered. We think our

gard to the election of that illustrions

position of the district" the radical ma

will not say, but we risk little in de-
claring that from the composition of
the man, this one of the Radical candi-
dates wiU be entirely overcome, which
amounts to about the same thing. We
think the returns from the 10th district
will probably relieve our neighbors
doubts as to the election of his pets,
CARsKADoN and DOLLY. OF conrse, if
they are defeated, the votes will not be
To suppose this would be to
presume on Radical honesty, pre-
sumption that would be the acme of
folly and the climax of stupidity.
The intimation which the Intelligen-
Ger throws out, that the votes of that
district are to be rejected, is perfectly
consistent with the general course of
its party in managing elections. How
long the people will tolerate such
wrongs we cannot tell, but one thing is
certain, they will not endure them for
ever. BY these corrupt and villainous
election frauds many ofOur citizens have
been ostracised and kept unrepresented
until forbearance has almost ceased to
be Il virtue. If one man among them
were to proclaim himself ruler by
virtue of his loyalty they would scarce
" submit to it, and when little lar
ger, but not more respectable minority
than that of single individual
lsurps all power and exercises all au-
.hority, the outraged and enslaved
will hardly acquiesce silently, cheer
fully and for an indefinite period.

A. LAW SUIT.
suii TO Recover Pay for Two Chick

From the La Crosse Democrat, Oct. L.
Monday forenoon there came up be
fore police Judge Hubbard, another law
suit, the particulars of which are as fol
lows Rhinehardt Hendricks, on the
18th of September, brought suit against
"Brick" Pomeroy to recover pay for two
roosters, belonging to the plaintiff, to
the value of fifty cents each. This
morning the suit came off, ex-Mayor
Hon. James I. Lyndes being the c0un-
sci for the prosecution, the defendant
appearing i'll his own offence.
The courtroom was crowded, for the
idea of trying an editor for stealing or
shooting chickens was novelty. The
plaintiff brought in his bill, swore to
its correctness, testified that he owned
the chickens, that they were raised by a
hen belonging to him, that he saw the
defendant shoot them, that he had re-
peatedly asked the defendant to settle
for them, and, failing to get pay or sat
isfactiOn, he was compelled to bring
suit, and asked for Judgment of 81 and
costs. ~ .-
The defendant admitted shooting the
chickens, and proved by four reliable
witnesses the following facts:
In April, 1866, the defendant owned n
fast running trick mare, Kitty, which
was kept in stable hired by him, and
cared for by one of his employees.
Through little hole in the barn or sta
BILE, the plaintiffs hens would fiyin and
eat oats intended for the mare Kitty,
and, on the approach of any one, would
fly out. In an old barrel in the stable,
one of the hens, black one, made her
nest, laid thirteen eggs therein, and
proceeded to raise family. When the
hen got ready to set, the defendant in
structed the boy who took care of his
mare to go down town, purchase thir-
teen eggs of J. W. Robinson & Co., gro
GERS, and put them in the nest, first re-
moving the other eggs. The boy did so
as was proved. He then personally
drove the hen out of the stable dozen
times or more, tried to make her leave,
but she would not, but proceeded to
incubate his eggs, bought and paid for,
without his consent, leave or license,
after repeated efforts on his part and by
his agents to have her vacate his prem
ises. And, further, when the hen had
hatchcd his eggs, she ran away with his
chickens, eleven in number, two eggs
not producing chickens. To her ser
vices he brought an offset, the use of
stable and board in the shape of oats;
he charged her with two eggs she spoil
ed, and demanded Judgment for the bal
ance of the flock, nine in number, at
fifty cents each. And, besides, he proved
that the chickens did not belong to that
hen, as she was black, while the chick
ems were red or speckled! Hendricks
has sued all his nei ighbors, for some lit
tie trifling matter, half dozen times
each during the past two years. After
patient hearing, the judge decided
that there was no cause of action, and
that the defendant was entitled to the
other nine chickens, and the plaintiff
must pay the cost of the suit, amounting
to 81 2!.
