The American brig W. Robertson has just

horror of the coolie trade, the mathematical

Der of Chinese coolies that died on the passage

was 1921 out OF 9o,O1s shipped from Macao.
Out Of IL, 1852 shipped this year from February
. 10 June 80 the number that died at sea was
1850 souls In one instance only lao arrived
out Of 800 shipped"
When the coolies arrive at their destination
they are damned into sheds, and die like rotten
sheep. In some cases the mortality AFTER land
ing has reached seventy-nvs per cent Of the
cargo. In no case does 1t average less than
thirty-three per cent

ures in connection with the late election
in that State in such a manner as to de-

the victory achieved by the Democracy
The 4rgas says:
Official returns from all the counties
give the Democratic State ticket 373, ,ss6
votes, and the Radical State ticket 324-
OH votes, making Democratic major
ity of 1850. The aggregate vote in
the State is 697, ,903. This is much the
largest vote ever cast when the election
of Governor or President was not in
volved. In 1865, when Slocum and
Barlow were candidates for Secretary
of State, Slocum received 272,7 ,7G3 votes,
and Barlow 300, ,254 votes; Barlow's ma
lorlty 90 ,491. Tho comparison of this
years vote should be mPde with that Of
1865, when the election was for the same
class of State officers. 1t will, therefore,
be seen that the increased Democratic
vote over 1865 is 101, 126! The increase
of the Radical vote over 1865 is 24,7G3.
Comparing the vote of 1867 with the
vote of 1866, when Hoffman ard Fenton
were candidates for Governor, and we
have Democratic gain of 2l ,26G; Rad
ical loss, 42,2S5; net Democratic gain
over 1866, 63,65S! The largest vote ever
pOlled in this State was i'll 1864, when
Mcclellan and Lincoln were candidates
for President. The aggregate vote that
year was 73O,712. Mcclellan received
361 1886, and Lincoln received 36S, ,76.
This was not only the largest vote ever
cast, but each party showed greater
strength than had ever before been ex-
hibited. Thus it will be seen that the
Radical vote reached its height in 1854.
The Democratic vote this year is 5l63
greater than the Radical vote sf 1854,
and is the largest vote ever polled by
any political party in this State.

for two years before he became candi-
date for the Legislature, and that he
had exercised all the arbitrary power
given him by that scandalous law-and
now when he finds himself defeated by
the implements of his own selection,
defeated by the votes of his own choice,
it is plais to see the rascality there
must be in the man or party of men
who wouldresortt to contest upon such
frivolous grounds.
The county does not attribute the
blame to Mr.. Cash however, for he has
not sense enough to make contest. He
is but the toolfor meaner men Of blacker
hearts, who are using him to crafty
their selfish ends. We have q black
hearted, deceitful, negro-suffrage attor-
ney in this county, and he is pushing
Mr.. Cash forward to clear the way for
him next winter. He is an open advo-
cate of every extreme measure of the
Rump Congress of last session. The
intention is now for DR.. Chase to contest
the count of all the Radical precincts
in this county and then have new
election ordered for Putnam. He will
undoubtedly succeed in this measure
for he has the same objections to the
count that Mr.. Cash has urged against
him. We think they will certainly
take their own evidence. This is not
all; but Mr.. Cash acted as Supervisor at
the largest voting place in the county,
where they report that Chase received
only Is votes and Cash some 80 or IS. DR..
Chase is now hunting up the men and
will soon be able to find considerable
over 1S or % either, who will swear
that they voted fer Chase and that there
has been some fraudulent stuffing of
ballot boxes going on. a..

know that if we can have the race run
over again in Putnam that we %ill roll
mp 100 Conservative majority for Lewis
Bumgarner, which will out throw ID. Fl.

yet.
We eare all sorry for Mr.. Cash and think
he will some day learn to act and think
for himself, for the contest will prove to
be very expensive one, as there will
be nearly 100 witnesses in all, and poor
Cash must foot the bill.

jackson township, Auglaize county,
Ohio, gave at the late election four
hundred and nine majority-every vote
cast being Democratic. This fact being
published, the New York Commercial Aa-
rertiser lets off this slander upon the
intelligent people of that township:
We had the occasion to travel through
that portion of Ohio few years since
when a colporteur informed US, as the
result of his observations and inquiries,
that but one in thirty of the people
could read, while on an average only one
in fifty-fve possessed Bible.
The editor of the Auglaize Democrat,
who it seems knew the scamp of the Id
rertiser in 1856, when he visited that
region, thus does justice to the popula-
ton so basely slandered:
One of the editors of the New York
Commercial advertiser, to our personal
knowledge, did, in the year 1856, take
occasion to travel through our county.
He stopped at the "Vocke House" IN
Jackson township, one of the best coun-
try hotels anywhere to be found, and
met there o peddler of Black Republi-
can literature, "Helper'S Crisis" show
ing the encroachments of the slave
power on Northern territory. This lat
ter fellow, yclept q "colporteur," be-
came frightfully wrathful because the
good people of Jackson township re-
fused to purchase a single scrap of his
infamous trash, and the New York edi-
tor was equally indignant because
Vocke could furnish his guests with
nothing stronger than wine made from
grapes grown in jackson township"
The two came to our town to take the
northern railroad train, and swOre in
our hearing, that travelling gentle
man (i) could not get single drink of
whisky in that (Jackson) whole settle
ment." A pretty brace of coveys they
were tojudge of the manners and edn-
cation of any community!
AS to the number of voters in Jackson
township who cannot read or write, we
pledge our word to any Jacobin editor or
to any real or false colporteur, that for
every one he can find, we will give to him
a silver flask with capacity to contain
quart of his own whisky-probably one
days rations! There is not one voter in
Jackson who cannot read and write.
There is not person in that township,
male or female, above the age of four
teen, who cannot do the same! There is
not another rural township in Ohio, or
else, with the same age of
that has more industry,
wealth and general intelligence. Be-
sides the best ofcommon schools, that
has fine Academic Institute,
kept in successful operation ten months
in the year that accommodates two
hundred students. Among the church
one stands there that costs
forty-five thousand dollars. In that
township are model farmers, manufac-
turers and thrifty and accomplished
Why should such people
vote any other than the Democratic

FROM PUTNAM COUNTY.
Contested Election. The Facts on both
sides. Ra dieal Desperation.

Contested Election. The Facts on both
sides. Rn dical Desperation.
Editor of the Register:
A few lines from Putnam County may
be interesting to your readers.
Late events bespeak lively times from
this county next winter. VIM. Cash,
the defeated Radical candidate for
House of Delegates from this county, has
given notice to DR.. Chase, the coDserva-
tive member elect, that he will contest
his election, First, because eight men
were allowed to vote whose names were
not found on the Register books. Sec
ondly, that the four precincts which
gave o conservative majority closed the
polls q few minutes before sunset.
Third, the poll books at one precinct
were not signed by all the officers con-
Quoting the election. Fourth, the pre-
cinct giving the largest conservative
majority had no Register book at the
polls on election day.
DR.. Chase made up his answer in short
about as follows:
First. That VIM. Cash had allowed
all the aforesaid eight men to vote for
two years past, and as President of the
Board of Registration, had pronounced
them legal and qualified voters until
he found they would not vote for him;
then he struck their names from the
Register, contrary to law, and without
giving them any notice for defence.
Hence when the men went to vote they
demanded the right until they should be
legally notified to appear and prove
their loyalty. They did vote and their
votes were recorded as disputed voters
put in q separate column and their bal
lots put III a sealed envelope as the act
of 1868 directs. Again had they all
voted for Chase it would not have had
any effect upon the result, for Chase's
majority was IL voters aside from the
disputed voters.
Second. That all the precincts giving
Radical maiorities also closed before
sunset.
Third. Two of the precincts giving
Radical majorities had not signed their
poll books.
Fourth, VIM. Cash as member Of the
Board of Registration has purposely
and Intentionally neglected to furnish
this precinct with Q copy Of the Regis
ter book,
Your readers will notice the dishon
esty of the whole affair when they beal
| in mind that this same maj

Risk TO Human Life on Railways.

Accurate statistics have developed
some interesting facts, in England and
on the continent of Europe, respecting
the risks incurred by passengers and
employees OH railway trains. Few per-
sons in the respectable walks of life
trouble themselves about the probsbil-
ity of their being hanged. Yet an
EngliShmau's risk of dying by strsng-
uatiou is six times as great as of being
killed on IA railroad, whether by his own
careesSness or by accident. The SAME
remark, however, cannot be made of an
American, for We hang fewer people and
kill mere on railroads in this
country than any other. Ninety
nine times as many people die Of can
Ger in England as are killed OH rail-
ways. The statistics of railroads in all
countries of Europe prove them to be
attended with less danger than any
other mode of travelling. More persons
are killed in Paris in single year by
carthage accidents than in all France by
railroads in ten years. The statistics
of European railways bring out some
very curious results. They show that
the absolute risk of persons losing his
life in a rail car is less than of his
being struck by lightning or hanged;
that passenger shooting along by
steam power ut rate of seventy-two
miles per hour is more secure from
bodily injnry than the pedestrian in a
crowded city, or q gentleman driving
his private carriage on q conn
try road; ard that the oil-begrimed and
Sooty pair who ride on the engine, on
whom we look with pity rs predestined
for destruction, have an average immu-
nifty from danger, and enjoy a better
state of health than ourselves. A per-
son debilitated by dyspepsia or rpulmon-
airy disease would question the sanity
Of his physician if recommended to take
the position of fireman on a locomotive;
yet statistics show that the employ
ment tends to counteract these diseases,
and to strengthen all the vital func-
tions of the system.
