Thevults res ofshe Himalayas

lures and other rapacious birds in the
Himalayas:

the Himalayas, and just as the sun
casts his last rays upon the snow

pipe of the black parLridge-then the
vultures, kites and jackdaws may
be seen wheeling in vast circles !;

Interesting to Bounty Swindlers.

BY the following despatch from Wash
ington, it will be seen that some Of the
villains who accumulated wealth during
the war by cheating volunteers out OF
bounty money, are likely to "come to
grief-much to the satifaction Of all hon
est men. The despatch makes the follow
ing statements:
The Govermnt has just began to pro-
secute two promipent New Yorkers, one
citizen Of Bath and the other OF Corn
ing. They are charged with swindling
the State of New York ont of about $780,
900. 1t appears that in 1864, when
President Lincoln made call for 800 600
men, these two New Workers charged
with fraud were recommended by the
Board of Supervisors of Steuben County
as agents of the County to go South and
recruit colored men to help fill the quota
of the County. On this Recommendation
the Governor commissioned them, a9d
they went South. They succeeded in
recruiting 400 men, who were duly mus
tered into the service Of the Government
These recruits were each to receive about
$500 State bounty of $40 County bounty.
1t is charged that thse men who were
recruited were never paid 4 cent of this
money, but the agents by means of forg-
ed vouchers and false repres ,ntatlons, COL
lected the whole amount from the State
and pocketed the same. The solliers who
were swindled have made claim for their
money, and the Government intends
prosecuting the same. Proceedings have
been instituted against the accused at AL
bany for obtaining money from the State
on false pretenees, and indictments arc
about being issued against them by the
District -Attorndy at Charleston, in behalf
of the negro soldiers, in the vicinity of
which city most of them reside. This,
it is said, is but one act of many similar
cases, and the Government, through the
Freedmens Bureau, is after ether parties
charged with similar offences.

How the Democracy Worked the Cards.

1t is reported that the following pri-
vate circular was issued previous to the
election, and sent in sealed envelope to
the chairman of each Democratic County
Committee, in Pennsy ylyania:-
Dear Sir: The necessity for close
attention to the details in this contest is
NEST apparent. 1t is comparatively noise
less, but it 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 to learn
she names of all the Democrats and doubt
full men. For thi. purpose the blanks
were furnished you, aud so far as you
have returned 30 me the lists | to-day
send you copies by mail. Send the re-
mainder as rapidly as possible.
These lists are to be placed in the
hands of active men in the district l
inclose in each list circular describing
their duties, for their direction; | also
inclo.e you copy thereof.
Make it your business to employ
these men yourself; do not trust to let
ters; go and see them; pay them for
their time in warning the dilitory, and
for election day, and provide the means
to haul the slow men to the polls. 1t is
better to spend money in this way than
by meetings. If you have any doubt of
the men you employ, tell others of our
friends that you have placed money in
their hands.
" Get your detailed vote for 1865 and
for 1864 comn,re tie two and this
will show you the districts likely to be
slow. Give them special attention now.
1t is important to get reliable men in
each district. Do not devote your atten-
ton to making specific majority, but
look to getting your whole vote. When
this is done the majority follows.
g In very slow districts l would sug-
gest special contract with active men,
thus: = In 1865 the district polled 100
Democrotic votes; in 1865, 120 Demo
cratic votes; now, for every Democratic
vote over 10 polled we will pay fixed
sum the day after the election. This is
simple and incentive to bring men out,
for the vote of 1867 shows they are there.
See that your agents have all Democrats
assessed, naturalized and their taxes
paid. Let me know what | can do for
you. Send forward the lists rapidly
" BE very carefully of this letter; keep
it entirely private.
Respectfully yours,

Committee.

The Elections !


We met the enemy on the Sth inst.
aud he thinks We are his; but we are not
1t is true he attacked US vigorously ali
along the line, and where our men were
caught mapping our lines were slightly
pushed in. But this was only skIrmlsh
of the grand battle which is to come of
year hence when every Unionist will
be at his post, aud in solid body march
against the enemy and drive him into
merited obscurity. But what has the
mcngrel Democracy accomplished? In
Iowa they were signally defeated = the
Republicans electing their State ticket
by over $4,000 majority. In Ohio we
have carried our whole State ticket by
about 1900 majority. But through IN
fortunate local dissensions the Legislature
was lost to Us. The proposed constitu
tional amendment enfranchisIng negroes
and disfranchising deserters was defeated
because many of the Ohio soldiers left
the army without leave immediately after
Richmond fell, alledging that there was
no further use for them in the field; but
all such stand catalogued as deserters on
the rolls at the War Department - aud
not wishing to have the privilege of vot
ing taken from them, opposed the amend
ment and induced their friends to also
oppose it, and thus it was defeated. In
Ohio the Democracy brought out their last
vote, but our vote is not full. In 1862
we lost that State by 5000, but the next
year we carried it by 100000. And we
will carry it again next Fall in spite OF
the enemy's efforts to the contrary.
The mongrel Democracy have carried
this State by about 500 majority. But
the Republicans have carried the Lcgis
lature by heavy majority. Our vote is
not full, but the Democracy run their.
up as high as money and trickery would
carry it. They going so far as to offer pre-
miums for Democratic votes, to be paid
on the day after election. Tie State was
lost by default. In Philadelphia the
Democracy induced three popular soldiers
10 run on their ticket, while our friends
neglected to put any soldiers on theirs =
they nominating mere politicians In
this way We lost Philadelphia and per
consequence the State ticket. But We
lost the State ticket in 1862, but we have
carried it every year since till this, and
undoubtedly, we are fully able to carry il
again whenever we put forth our full
strength, aud who doubts that we shall
do SO next Fall?

The election for Representative in
Congress from the Twelfth District Of
this State-Luzerne and Susquehannah
-ha, apparently resulted in favor of the
Hon. George w. Woodward, who claims
about two hundred majority over Hon.
w. W. Ketchum. But the election in
Luzerue county, which gave Woodward
his majority, was conducted so fraudently
aud unfairly that ketchum ha. determin-
ed to make contest for the scat. In the
sixth ward of Scranton, it is stated, the
polls were not opened until four o'clock
in the afternoon, and noRepubican was al
lowed to vote. In one of the Wilkes
barre districts Republicans were not al
lowed to vote, while Democrats voted over
and over again. The same thing pre-
Walled in other parts of the county. If
these statements can be proved, it will be
quite likely to reverse the election of
Woodward.
