TIE FORCE And VALUE or TIE ALLEGED
RECCJSCJON

RESCISSION.
The fullest vote ever polled in our State was
that of 1868, our last Presidential Election.
Deducting the 40, 0,00OvOtes pOled by Tepeaters 2nd
on counterfeit Certificates of Naturalization in
this City and its vicinity, the total vote cast was
500 $50, which exceeds the next highest ever cast
by nearly $4,000. Never was the State so
thoroughly canvassed, never was its vote SO
thoroughly pOlled out at any other election, as at
that of 1868; and the Legislature then chosen rati
fed the XVIII Amendment by vote of II to IS in
the Senate, and Y to AZ in the Assembly. The
Senators had been chosen the year before, and
every one of the II represented constituencies
which had meantime voted for Gen. Grant,
while of the IS who voted No, three represented
constituencies which had given Grant and Col
fax maiOrites. In the total vote of our State
for President, throwing out the vote Of the re-
peateIs and counterfeit citizens, Grants ma
iority must, ,bave been about 10000.
The verdict thus rendered and recorded it is
now sought to reverse and annul by vote
of the present Legislature. We challenge the
validity of this vote on the following grounds:
|. There was nothing like full vote polled
last NOyem9ek Counting II al .ae Ispeat2ls'
and counterfeit citizens votes cast in this City
and vicinity-by frauds so gross that large
f1nmber of the election officers of our sister
city are now under indictment for the frauds
thus committed as ten times their number in
this City and elsewhere deserve to be-the
total vote cast is but 6lt7O7-a falling of Of
more than Too Hundred thousand since 1868.
This is not verdict of the People, because
the People, disgusted and dsheartened by the
frauds Of the preceding election, did not gem
orally vote last Fall To appeal from the
popular vote of 1863 to that of 1863 is Ike ap-
pealing from n decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States to Judge Barnard or
Judge McCunn.
II. The Republicans of our State were last
Fall distracted and paralyzed by personal feuds,
which caused them to throw away several of
their strong districts. The Saratoga, Essox,
Oneida CheDango, and Monroe Senate dis
tricts, were thus thrown away, giving tho

There are two facts which must lead good
many Americans to sympathizo with the
Cubans. In the first place. they are RepubH-
cans, and are struggling for the establishment
of a Republican Government liz the second
place, they are AboIitionistS, and arc fighting
for the overthrow of slavery. A people that
has lad the spirit to fight against colonial vas
salage and slavery for eighteen months must
command American sympathy.

The Secret of 1t.

An old farmer being asked why his
boys stayed at home when others did not,
replied it was owing to the fact that he
always tried to make home pleasant to
them He furnished them with useful
and attractive reading; and when night
comes, and the days labor is ended in
stead Of running with the other boys to
the railway stations and adjoining towns,
they gather around the great lamp and
become absorbed in their books and
papers. My boys were still at home
when the eldest boy was 21, while those
who were furnished with no reading at
home sought city life and city dissipation
as soon as they were II or IS. All will
do well to heed this testimony of a far
mer who has known how hard it is to
struggle for footing on free soil without
capital, and how valuable and compari-
lively cheap are the aids which good
reading brings to him. In this age of
general intelligence, the mind must be
catered to and books and papers fur
nished and not only this, but in this age
of cheap and artistic chrome pictures can
also be bought to be used in making
home attractive The farmers life is the
most independent of any, and there is no
reason why it may not be as attractively
surrounded.

singular Phenomenon.

The Mobile Register of the third inst,
tells the following remarkable story:
For several days past there have been
mysterious and vague rumors of the
most remarkable meteorological phenome-
non out at the Catholic graveyard ON
Stone street, above the Three-mile creek.
1t is asserted by those who say they have
seen it, that for the last FIVE days a gen.
tie shower has fallen continuously on the
lot of the Lemoine family, in which are
buried Mr.. Victor Lemoine and many
others of the family. With a view of
getting at the facts of the most extraordi-
nary affair, we had last night an interview
with Mr.. Louis B. Lemoine, employed at
Asa Holts, a son of the deceased Victor
Lemoine, who died in 1851, who related
the following startling particulars:
Having heard that it was reported that
it had been raining for several days on
the enclosed ground which forms my
family burying ground in the Catholic
burying ground on Stone street, above the
Three-mile creek, drove out there last
evening to satisfy myself, and, to my
intense astonishment, L saw that col
umn of rain was coming down without
ceasing, which although hardly powerful
enough to lay the dust was enough to wet
the hands or any article, and at times
rained quite hard. The volume of rain
fell inside of the enclosure, and nowhere
else, as the weather was and has been
bright and clear all the time during the
five days the rain has been falling on
these graves. There are thirteen of my
family buried in the lot of ground upon
which it had been raining. My mother,
brother and sister visited the spot yester-
day and the day before to satisfy them
selves about this matter, and declare that
they too saw this wonderful phenomenon
1t has also been seen by over two hundred
persons. | took q friend with me when /
visited the spot, who also saw the rain
falling as described. Mr.. John Rosset
the keeper of the cemetry, told me that
the rain had commenced falling in heavy
drops about five days ago. I am willing
to take my oath as to the truth of this
statement
So incredible did this extraordinary
affair seem, that those who saw it several
days ago refrained from stating or asser-
ting what they had seen, for fear that
not only their veracity but their sanity
would be questioned, and it was only until
number of gentlemen of the first respec-
liability had seen and reported the result
of their personal observations that cred
ence was attached to the truth of the
matter. Take it altogether, it is certainly
the most astounding and miraculous at
mospheric wonder that has ever been
witnessed in this part of the world, and
will doubtless afford abundant food for
thought, research, and observation, not
only among scientific men, but among all
classes There are so many who vouch
for the truth of Mr.. Lemoine's statement
and his character for veracity is such,
that there can no longer be any doubt of
the fact that it has been raining for the
past five days on the grave of his kindred.
