HOW TIE LIABILITIES WEREs PUT

We ask pardon of Mr.. N. b. LA BAU, Member
of Assembly last Winter (and now reGlected)
from Warren County, for printing so much of
a private letter just received from him as
helps to explain the passage of our infamous
City and County Tax-Levies through our last
Legislature. Mr.. La Bau says
"Gov Fenton sent Message 10 the House, inviting,
in proper manner. It's attention to the early disposal OF
these Levies The Message denounced by the Demo
Gratis and even motions made return to the Governor
as insulting.
Mr. Pitts and myself supported that Message, and de-
Tended the Governors action.
THE Levies reported to the House till the
last OF tho session, and then made special order
forthwith when these bills came up in Committee Of
the whole House. tho printed bill not upon the files
Of half the members
Knowing the character OF the bills sought to stay
progress and amend them.
This tried to do on the floor OF the House, but in
vain as the Speaker Htchmanl would not recognize
"whle was on my feet for the purpose. Mr.. Frear
lDem1 moved that the Committee rise and report pro
gress.
81 then asked him aloud whether the minority to
be permitted TO amend. He shook his head-No.
The bill was almost Immediately ordered to a third
reading and while the roll being called, l. in dis
gust and anger picked up my papers and left without
going through the farce OF voting No upon bill had
been gagged In endeavoring TO amend"
And now if the Republicans who voted
for that bill, and especially those who helped
report it in and put it through the Senate
(where they had power to stop it, will tell ui
what were their inducements for taking that
course, we shall know just how and why Gen
Grant was swindled out of the vote OF the
State of New-Y0rk.

THE GIANT FRAUD.

The largest aggregate vote ever polled in this
State, prior to the present month, WIS that OF
1864. when Lincoln received 3GS, 49, Mcclellan
361 1856 together 73O,72l. The vote for Cover
nor in 1866 was-FentOn 3G6,3l5; Hoffman 352,
52G together 1881. TIE vote of last year stood
Mexican (Repub) 325O90; Nelson Oem.) 5'3',
O20 together G9812S. The State was polled out
as clearly in 1864 as it could be, and very nearly
so IN 1866
Such were the data wherein, after careful
survey of the field, we concluded that New
York could not be carried against Gen. Grant
by legal votes; and we now reiteratc that it
could not and has not been. We said, after
hearing from judicious Republicans in every
quarter, 1--WE shall give Gen. Grant not less
&" than 100000 votes and that is more than all
"the legal votes that can be polled against
chin. He can only be beaten here by frauds
$50 enormous as to defy all calculation"

The Democratic State Central Club of South

Hampton, has issued an address to its fellow
citizens. urging them to do great variety of
things, some wise, and some foolish Gen.
Hampton advises the party to devote its ener-

and immigration. and herein he has our cordial
approval. 1t is by proper attention to these
objects that the South can best labor for its
own regeneration. II the chivalry will also
adopt his recommendation to "gather wisdom

An interesting table, showing the cost of
mail service in the Southern States, is given
among our Washington dispatches to-day. 1t
appears that the cost Of carrying the mails in
the States of Virginia, North and South Caro-
lina Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas,
for the past year, has been s2,l6S,4 59-nearly
double the cost in 1856, which was $1,OSG,527.
The excess of the price of contracts over the
receipts, in the same States, is about S6jOOOO,
and to this amount must be added the salaries
of postmasters and assistants to get the aggre-
gate of the burden which the Southern mail
service imposes on the country. The excess
of the contract prices over receipts of the
service to California, Oregon and the Terri
tories is not les thar $2,8OOOOO.

Ex-President Roberts of Liberia, now in thu
country soliciting aid for the Liberan College
of which he is President, states that that Re,
public has made cOnquests of the interim,
tribes until it now has total population q,
100000 souls, Of whom only about $4,000 ara
emgrant negroes from America. 1t is a sineu.
lar and atrocious fact, now first coming TO Tn,
knowledge of the public, that this Republic
founded as an asylum Of freedom for emanci.
pated slaves has permitted the continuance Of
Slavery among the interior tribes which it bas
conquered on very extensive scale. Presi.
dent Roberts is quoted as admitting that thu
wealth of the interior chiefs, like that of IN,
savage tribes of Africa, is measured by tbe,
number of wives and slaves. Efficient stem.
should be taken to rescue Liberia from Chi,
lapse into slaveholding province, and it will
be well for those who are solicited in N.
name of freedom and humanity to contrib.
ute to Liberian College to inquire wheths,
the gratuitous education of the sons of thess
slayeholding chiefs may not inure to tho growth
of Slavery, rather than of Freedom.

scientific subjects will receive powerful i'm
pulse this season from an admirable series Of
lectures shortly to be begun at Steinway Hall

the other distinguished men whose names
appear in the list are Prof Guyot, who will

should amount TO one-fourth of the entire
number OF voters, would be represented by
two members of the stronger and one OF the
weaker party. Thus, st. Lawrence gives
the largest Republican majority of any county
IN the State, is probably more decidedly Re-
publican than any portion Of the State OF
eoual population, and now sends three Repub-
licans (by dstricts) to the Assembly. Under
the proposed system, the Democrats would
nominate single candidate for that county,
and would print his name thrice on each bad
lot voted by them, with this result:
Republican vote flor Grant ....-..--..--.-- n'5SS
Democratic vote, 3,9ii-tripicated. ....... 1888
Here supposing every man who voted tor
Grant to have voted also for every one OF the
three Republican candidates for Assembly, they
would all be elected; but there would be no
probability of this. No three candidates for
lower Office ever each ran fully up to the pop
ular head of the ticket. The result would
doubtless be much more faithfully foreshad-
owed by the vote for Governor, which IS as
follows:
Griswold's total IN st. Lawrence Co. ....... 1895

bly, over the lowest of the three Republicans.
So in this City: If it were made one Assem-

but seven candidates, and print the name OF
each thrice on its ballots. Surprising the DEM
ocrats to run q full ticket and to swindle us
atrociously by repeaters and counterfeit Nat
uralization Certificates as they did at the late
election, the return would be nearly as follows {;

Our readers are already aware that, by some
peculiar process of drawing which we do not
profess to understand, Judge Barnards Grand
Jury has been made up in very large measure
of Tammany politicians, who are supposed TO
be more or less intimately connected with the
Ring. The report goes that this Jury purposes
indicting the Citizens Association and examln-
ing Peter Cooper on the affairs of his adml-
rable institute. and has been industrously seek
ing material for an assault upon the Police Com
missioners In the matter of election frauds, the
Jury is said to have cOntented itself with exam
lining Republicans who are supposed to nave
spent money in the canvass and is entirely blind
to the enormous frauds by which Tammany
Hall is known to have secured the return OF
John T. Hoffman. If the Grand Jury really
means to do its duty let it inquire how many
legal voters there are in the house occupied by
Police Justice Shandley, and how many cti-
zens are sheltered in the hospitable tenements
of Coroner keenan,, Supervisor Tweed, and
Alderman Norton. Let it examine the cases IN
which city officials are said to have been IN
yolyed in the repeating business. Let 1t

Seymour has gained upon McClcllan's vote
more than Grant has gained upon Lincoln :
! in the Counties of Broome, Chcmung, Jclcr-
son. Xmas, HeiC- York, Niagara, Queens, Rock-
! land, Saratoga, Steubcn, Tompkins, Wesfches-
ter-12 IN all-and in no others. The remain
| ing AZ Counties give larger gains TO Grant on
! LincoIn's vote tlnn Seymour has. made on
McCIeIlan's vote. The Counties we have placed
above in Italics compose this City and lis sub
urbs. and they give Seymour net gain over
NcClellan's vote of 30ll9. In all but these
five Counties, Gen. Grant has net gam on
Iincoln's majority over Seymour of more than
Ten Thousand.
The above table shows just how and
where tho People of Ncw-York were swindlcd
out of their choice for Prcsident-In tins cry
and its suburbs. Gen. Grant has gained more
on Lincoln's vote in n majority OF the Com
ties than Seymour has gained on McClellans
vote and the vote of those Counties rs plainly
honest and fair-the increase since 1854 beng
no more than was to be expected. But the vote
of this City and its suburbs has been sWelled
in enormous disprOpOrton To the increase
of their population-swelled 10y voting the
same men over and over SIX 20 twenty times,
and making voters illegally, by means Of
forged Naturalization Certificates out of men
who have Just landed from Europe. Thus, and
thus only, have New-York and New-Jersey
been made to record verdict which they
never gave-a verdict in favor of Seymour,
Slavery. Secession and their sympathising
mourners. Believing in God of Omnipotent
Justice, we confidently trust that this gigantic
villainy will yet recoI on the heads of its
authors and cover them with the infamy they
merit.

The excitement attending the election con-

plain that the people appreciate the importance
of the political transformation through which

passing away with astonishing rapidity and
although the power will not be completely
