Democratlc EIeelion Fraudg IN

New York.
The New York Herald commends two
acts of the late session of Congress-that
to enforce the XVIII Amendment, provid-
ing U. S. Inspectors of Elections for Con
gress; and on NatUralizations-whic by
their provisions, will prune down and weed
out the heavy fraudulent vote by which the
Democrats of New York City roll up, ac-
cordipg to order, so, ,OOO-sO, O,OOO-or 100, OOC
If necessary for their purposes.
The Herald says: "It is a remarkable fact
that all these measures for the protection oj
honest men at the polls, and yor the detection
and punishment Of fraudulent Uote1s, hare
been and are denounced by the Democrats as
the arbitrary device Of a Radical ,deSpotjsne,
and as unconstitutional outrages upon the
rights Of the people"
Yet the Constitution gives express au-
thOrity to Congress to pass a uniform Nat
uralization law, and to regulate the cleo
tions for both houses of Congress, "except-
ing only as to the place of choosing Sena-
tors"
There will be likely terrible cutting
down of the Democratic vote in New York
City, returned, at the approaching Fall
election. The Herald compares the popu-
lstion as just given by the Census takers,
in certain election districts of the city, with
the votes in the same districts, in May Of
this year, when the Democrats won a great
"victory." Here are the figures:

About oysters.

The oyster has neither jaws or teeth
but sort of lips. The female oyster
largely outnumber the gentlemen
The oyster can see but can't move.
The oyster is prOpagated by eggs
The spawning occurs between May
and August. 1t natures in sever
years. At six months it is no bigger
than a small egg, and doubtless in
size in a year. If 1000 bushels are
planted in the beds, and one third
live, they will increase from 2, 800 tC
5000 bushels in four years.
The largest oysters measure a foot
in length but the largest class is seven
inches by six. But these whoppers
only are called for by one twelfth Of
the eaters. One half of the whole
consumers use small oysters.

There is a structure which every
body is building, young and old, each
one for himself. 1t is called character,
and in every act of life is a stone. If,
day by day, we are careful to build
ourselves with pure, noble, upright
deeds, at the end will stand a fair
temple, honored by God and man.
But, as one leak will sink ship, and
one flaw break chain, so one mean,
dishonOrabIe, untruthful act or word
will forever leave Its impress and work
its influence on our characters. Then,
let the several deeds unite to form a
day, and one by one the days grow
into noble years, and the years as they
slowly pass, will rise at latest beau
tiful edifce, enduring forever to our
praise.

The Tariff and Taxafion. .

Senator Morton of Indiana deliver
ed a great speech before Republican
mass meeting recently at Terra
Haute. Here is the declaration Of
faith touching the tariff:
"The Democratic leaders have large
complaints against the tariff. We
must have money to carry on the
Government, and If we do not get it
by tariff on goods imported from
foreign countries, we must get it by
direct taxation. We do not want a
prohibitory protective tariff, but a rev
enue tariff. A tariff should be high
est on luxuries, and lowest on necessi-
ties. The tariff should beplaced at a
point which would protect our home
labor and place it on a basis which
would make it desirable. But a tariff
we must have, and it should be one
which would discriminate in favor of
our home producers.
81 would not create monopoly, but
I am in favor of home manufacturers,
as well as farmers, in order to build up
home markets. 1t costs one bushel out
of three of wheat to get it to New York,
and every other bushel of corn to get
there. A cheap plan of transportation
is demanded and it must be proyi-
ded.
What farmer can deny the force of
this logic or assent to it? Nothing
could be palmer. The Senator then
added, in regard to reduced taxa
ton:
"COngross within the past fifteen
days has abolished eighty millions of
dollars of taxes. In the revenue,
nearly all the taxes have been reduced
| iffty-seven millions, leaving little be-
side whisky and tobacco which are
taxed. In the tariffs, the duties have
been reduced on tea, coffee, sugar and
pig iron, the common necessaries of
life. And not a Democrat in Con-
gress voted for this bill, reducing the
taxes eighty millions of dollars"

The Gentleman from China.
The Chinese question renews itsen
from time to time, and upon the Pa
ciflc coast il is discussed with much
feeling. Senator Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, also says that it seems as if capi-
tai had cOnspired to degrade labor in
this country by inundatfng it with for
eigu ignorance. Mr.. Fitch and other
gentlemen in the House were anxious
to forbid the Chinese to become cit.
zens. In New York some representa-
tives Of the trades unions speak ofop-
posing by force of arms the employ
ment of the Chinese. Meanwhile GER
tain facts may be wisely remembered.
The country needs Iaborers. It can
wisely and prOftably employ a great
multitude more than it has. The pop
ulatiOn is very largely made up of i'm
migrants, and, if we go back a little,
we are all foreigners. Neither the
principles nor the feelings of the peo-
pie, would authorize the forcibIe ex-
clusiOn of any foreigner honestly seek
ing to improve his condition by ac-
cepting this country, which exhorts
all mankind to come here and be hap
Ply.
1t may be assumed, therefore, that
the Chinese movement will continue.
The trades unions may perplex the
easy solution of the question, but they
cannot prohibit the immigration. If
this be true, two things are evident
First, that the "Cooly trade''-the en-
terprise of gentlemen like Mr.. Koop-
mansehap-shOuld be absolutely pro-
hibited. The voluntary movement
cannot be stayed but the forced
movement-the immigration by con-
tract, which, as we have heretofore
shown, is the revival of the slave t.ade
should be strictly forbidden. Then
the treatment of those who do come
should be as honorable and generous
as that which is accorded to the peo-
pie of all other countries. Any at
tempt to outlaw the Chinese, to draw
upon them a peculiar contumely, to
treat them harshIy and with personal
abuse, would certainly be resented by
the conscience and good sense Of the
country. The Government will do
its duty if it vigorously interferes with
the wholesale importation of these la
bOrers. And if the whole subject is
left to the operation of natural laws
freed from all forcing, we doubt if any
honest American Iaborer need fear the
result Harper's Weekly.

Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins,
arrived on Saturday, on the Cunard
steamship Palmyra, from Liverpool
On the second day out Chang was at
tackled with paralysis, which affects
his left side, and almost wholly de-

the power of speech. Eng has so far
felt no symptoms of the illness. They
are accompanied by three of their sons
and will proceed to their home inNorth

A great contested will case, which
has been hanging in the Arkansas
courts for over thirteen years, seemed
recently on the point of decision.-
The arguments had been finished, the
judge had given his charge, and the
jury after a short absence, had return
ed to their seats with a verdict sustain
ing the will. The opposing counsel,
however, demanded that the jury
should be polled, which the court Or
dered. Three names had been called,
and the usual question, "Is this your
verdict" was just being addressed to
the fourth, when he was suddenly
stricken with apoplexy. His recovery
is very doubtful, and, in case he dies
without answering the question, the
whole case will have to be tried over
again.

Bismarck does not lose his head

whether, in case Germany was sue

."Noj Germany fights only for Ger

As for the poor old Pope, he de-
clares that hereafter he means to de-

A German naturalist has discovered
that starlingS are Of extraordinary ser
vice in destroying insects, and that
a single young startling will consume
one hundred and forty snails in four
teen hours out of the twenty-four. In
a part Of Thuringia, where he resided
for some time, he calculates that 12,-

these birds while in the neighborhood.

aged five years, son of David Tubbs, took
Miss Schermerhorn, aged three years,
daughter of the editor of Gazette, combed
her hair, put the dolls things in a box, and
proceeded to the depot, where they got on
the rear platform of the western bound
train without being noticed, till the con-
ductor received a dispatch for them. They
were put off at Osseo, and returned on the
next train, well pleased with their trip.

Wages in the U. $. and Europe.

A cOtemporary says that by statis-
tics already published it is ascertained
that the average rate Of wages paid in
the United States during the year 1869
was 24.36 per cent. more than in Eu-
rope. This will account for the great
immigration to this country of skilled
Iaborers and who can deny but that
this large per cent. in wages is owing
to the protection given to our manu-
.facturers? ? In the face of these facts
there are demagogueS who cry "down
with tariff and up with labor" An
American manufacturer cannot pay
"A 36 per cent. more for laborers and
then compete on equal footing with
the English manufacturer. Wages
must rest upon the tariff, and it is sur
priSing that so many Iaborers could
join in this crusade so clearly against
their own interests, or listen to those
who would have them kill the goose
that has laid them the golden egg.

Congress and the Soldiers

The record of Congress IN regard to
the interests Of soldiers, is creditable
to that body, and it will prove to the
men who fought the battles of the
country, and to the widows and or
phans of the dead patriots, that the
Republican party means to fulfill all
its promises to those who defended the
flag and saved the life of the nation.
In addition to pensions and other con-
sideralions, any officer or marine can
now obtain a homestead Of 100 acres
on any line of railway aided by Con
gress, the selection to be made from
even sections. The minimum price of
this land is $3.50 per acre, and is not
yet open except to soldiers. This lat
ter is a point soldiers should take note
of. A farm on line of railway is
worth looking after. 1t cannot be
said of Congress that it forgot the
soldiers.

Mr.. John McCreary, of Champaign
county, whose farm lies near the Clark
county line, near Powhattan, put in twen-
ty-two acres of wheat last fall, which av-
eraged this harvest forty bushels to the
acre. Such averages and such yields stock
the barns of our farmers and fill their pocll-
cts. The seed from which this large crop
was grown was what is known as the

THE RHINE.

Translated from the German
No, they shall never have it,
The free-ths German RhrneI
Though vulture like, to rend it
With talous fierce they pine
So long as gently floating
Between its banks Of gleen,
A ship shall on the current
or that sweet stream be seen.
They shall never have it-neverI
The glorious German Rhine;
While patriot hearts are fatted
On its generous purple wine;
So long as the broad shadows
OF tall cliffs Ger it CLEAN,
So long as proud cathedrals
Are imaged in its stream.
No, they shall never have It,
The free-ths German Rhine,
While round its graceful msidsns
The arms Of strong men twine-
And while one ish within it
Springs gliuering from the deep;
Aud while soft midnight music
Shall DER its waters sweep
No, they shall never have it
The German Rhine's free wave,
Till its sacred tide is flowing
Above the last mans grave.

in Africa, and his private secretary,
who arrived recently by the steamer
Palmyra, applied for admission at

Of their color. They were conveyed
in a coach to the Office of their agent,
on Wall street, who succeeded in hav-
