How They Do Ii!

The following circular in a specl.
men of the way the Democracy car.
ry elections. 1t was issued by the
State Central Committee of Pennsyl
vania during the last campaign. This
thing was carried ont to the fullest
extent, as the result OF the election
shows, Probably in Ohio some sucf
scheme was enacted and it should
open the eyes Of our slow Republi
cans that the battle is not to the
strong alone and teach them not te
stay at home on election day.
DEAR SIR-The necessity for close
attention to the details in this con
test is most apparent. 1t Is com.
paratively nolseless, but 1t should be
made full of activity.
The great end to be accomplished
is: To poll every Democratic vote.
The first thing to be done is 10 learn
the names Of all the Democrats and
doubtful men. For this purpose the
blanks were furnished you, and so
far as you have returned to me the
lists to day send J ou copies by mail.
Send the remainder as rapidly rs
possible.
These lists are to be placed in the
hands of active men in the district
enclose in each list circular de
scribing their duties. for their direc
tion. l also enclose to you a copy
thereof.
Make it your business to employ
these men yourself; do not trust to
letters: go and see them; pay them
for their time in warning the dilato-
~, and for election day, and to pro-
vide means to haul the slow men 10
the polls. 1t is better to spend mon.
ey in this way than by meetings. If
you have any doubt Of the men you
employ tea others Of our friends that
you have placed money in their
hands.
Get your detail.f vote for 1865
and for 1866. Compare the two, and
this will show you the oStrict likely
to be slow. Give them Special at.
tention now. 1t is important to get
trustworthy nen In each district. Do
not devote your attention to making
specific majority, but look to get
ting your whole vote When this is
done the majority follows.
In very slow districts would
suggest Especial contract with active
men, thus: In 1865 the district poll.
ed 100 Democratic votes. Now for
every Democratic vote over ll0 poll
ed we will pay fixed sum the day
after the election. This is simply
an incentive to bring out, for the vote
of 1866 shows that they are there.
See that your agents have all Demo
Gratis assessed, naturaliZed, and their
taxes paid. Let me know what l
can do for you. Send forward the
lists rapidly.
Be very cansul of this paper; keep
it entirely private,
Respectfully yours,

cheap HOmes..A House COM
plele for SS45!

The question of Cheap Homes for
the People has been agitated to some
purpose in Chicago. The necessity
tor cheap houses, comfortable, and
yet so cheap as to place the possess
ion of one within the reach of every
man, led the managers of a Savings
Bank to offer a premium for the best
plan for dwelling of the kind do,
sired. Several plans we're submitted
and their publication led to the
making public of others. The Chi
cago Post contains plan and speci-
fcations of cost of q house that seems
to meet the want precisely, furnished
by a practical builder. The propos-
ed house is l6x24 feet and divided
into rooms according to the following

A Republican Assaulted Al the
Polls In Bucyrus.

At the election on Tuesday, the
8th inst, gentleman brought to the
polls a colOred man three fourthf
white, and stated that he produced
the man there with the desire to test
the question whether such a person
had q right TO vote or not. 1t was
simply a question OF lay depending
upon the facts of the case.
But Immediately that the question
was announced the greatest uprosr
ensued and the negro was instantly
assaulted and Kicked ~ous An as
sault was then commenced upon the
gentleman and while he was abused
without stint efforts wsre made to
drag him from the room. Mr.. Don.
nenwirrh alone of all the judges man
ifested any disposition 10 test the
question on its merits and settle 1t
according to law, but he was overcome
by the clamor of all in the room in
which some of the officers Joined.
The SheriG vas ordered to clear the
room, but the crowd hatly refused to
go unless the gentleman went also,
and finally, to allsy the confusion, he
consented to retire. On the outside
the excitement was intense. bnt grad
ually settled down, and all was be-
coming calm. The gentleman had
quietly stood, receiving the deluge
of abuse cast at him, and desirous to
allay the excitement, had sail or
done nothing. Suddenly, and unex
pecting, when the affair had about
subsidized, he was struck In coward
ly manner from behind and knocked
from the box forming part of the plat
form on which he was standing, into
the crowd. Here he was kicked and
cuffed, and hauled around, and only
saved fIom very severe treatment by
the prompt interposition Of his
friends.
This was also quieted down, and
when all was supposed to be over,
a second assault from behind was
made by the same fellow and created
a neB uproar; this was also quelled
and the excitement again subsidized.
But not entirely SO until the gentle
man, at the imperative demand of
one of the party and at the urgent
request of some of his friends, con-
sented to leave the grouud. At the
time the Sheriff, the Marshal and
other officers were present, but al
though not only the gentleman. but
several of his friends were severely
assaulted. No arrests were made,
nor does it appear that any will be-

it got into power, to put the q. s.
Bonds on the tax duplicate, to pay
them off in greenbacks, and to reduce
the taxes OF the people. Will that
party do all this ? 1t certainly go,
the Legislature by these promises,
and the men who were duped into
voting itinto power through such an
understanding will insist that they
be not deceived. Will the Demo.

To any man who has one spark ot

it is disgusting to witness the re
joicing of a certain class hf men In

LEGIsLATIyE CoRRuPTIoN.

If we are to believe the statements o.
some Of the newspapers Of the States oI
Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania,
we should come TO the conclusion that the
Legislative assemblies Of those Common
wealths are constituted Of q set Of low, un-
prineipled, venal men, who ought TO be
anywhere else rather than in these legisla-
tive halls. These charges come from pa
pers Of different parties, and are not po-
litical II would seem that both Republi-
cans and Democrats are amenable alike,
and are guilty Of the crimes charged. We
sincerely hope and trust that the evil is
not SO widespread as is alleged. Some
papers go SO far as to declare that no
measures can be passed, good or bad, at
Harrisburg, Albany, or Annapolis, except
through the bribery Of the members. :.
Such grave accusations should not be
made except upon well-grounded and in
controvertible facts and testimony. We
know how easy IL is to make charges Of
this kind but the bare declaration that
the members vote for this or that measure
under the control Of improper motives does
not prove the statement to be true. Men
may be Influenced in casting their votes
BY considerations which TO them appear
ust and proper, and II does not always
ollow that when members vote for schemes
Which to the people may seem unwarrant-
Il e, that they (tbemselves) may not have
soad cause TO do as they do, and that
bribery and corruption have nothing to do
n determining their action in the premises.
We are 10th to believe that there are as
many legislators ready to sell their votes
IS is often alleged. We are not, in this
intending to make special
indication Of any men or body Of men,
mt we are by no means convinced that |
he evil and corruption complained Of is
ear SO widespread as is charged. Let us
ope better things Of our grave legislators.

FROM THE PLAINS.

pahoes, Cheyennes, and Apoches from

Hon. ". @. Taylor, Comssis,iouer of Indian
Affair.", Washiagton, ID. C.
SIR: My last communication was written
hastily from Fort Dodge, and now have
the honor to state that have since arrived
ut the headquarters Of my agency. Since
the killing and scalping Of the six Chey-
enne Indians, above Fort Dodge, nothing
new has transpired with reference to Indian
affairs. Contrary to my expectations, the
Cheyenne Indians, who fed from their vii
lage committed no depredations while cross
ing the Santa Fe road, and have not, to my
knowledge, up to the present time, not
withstanding their prosecutions. 1t is ru-
mored here that considerable stock has
been run off the Smoky-Hill road by the
Sioux Indians on the occasion Of their
fight north. General Hancock is still at
Fort Dodge with his troops. Since the
Indians OF my agency have not as yet re-
taliated for the wrongs heaped upon them,
it may be possible, if proper action be
taken by the Department OF the Interior
to prevent the military from forcing trou-
BILE on them, general Indian war may be
prevented. As far as laid in my power
have struggled to avert this direful calam.
ity. The Arapahoe and Apache Indians
are far south OF the Arkansas river, and
have not yet got into any trouble. / en-
