The Census versus Democratic
Frauds"


The Republican papers make n great
parade about the Dem ocratic frauds, in
voting, in New York city, which, they
claim, have been fully demonstrated by
the census returns, that these self same
papers know to be utterly unreliable.
The truth is, the census just taken is
itself the greatest frPud upon the ma

where the population has been made to

Democratic stronghold, and also ap.

of Democratic repeating at the poll:
it has been so carelessy or bungling

census takers were utterly incompetent
and were assigned the work as re

SAVANNAH is one of the cities which
have been asserted to be of Radical pol
itics. Such "cections" as they have
been favored with in that city, since its
surrender, have very likely strengthened
this idea. Nearlr all the elections in
the South, from 1865 to 1869, were of a
character to forcibIy remind one of
Louis Napoleon's army "c'ections'-
though we believe the uX-Emperor had
not the advantage of a hundred thousand
vagabond negroes to vote Il score OF
times apiece in every election their
family likeness, equal to thai of flock
of sheep, preventing individual recogni'
ton and detection. But later times
seem to be upsct,ing the Radical Negro
dish, throughout the South. AT the
city election in Savanna on the l0lh the
Democrats elected Mr.. Snriven, Mayor,
by an overwhelming majority, and al
the Aldermen.

The Republican MIDDLE.

The complications of party politics ut
the headquarters Of the Administration
present some singular and mortifyiDg.
and thoroughly disgraceful features
Senator Morton, appointed to succeed
Mr.. Motley, for whose summary and
inopportune removal no reason has as
yet been publicly assigned after having
once accepted the Mission, has decided
to decline it, for a reason which he ought
to be ashamed to avow, but which his
party, including the President who con.
ferrcd the appointment upon him, APP
prove, namely, that by so doing he will
leave a vacancy in the Senate which
will he likely to be filed by n Democrat.
Mr.. Cox, Secretary of the Interior has
been dismissed for no other reason than
that he has been upright and faithful and
honest. NJ. Motley was removed for
motives of personal spite towards Scna-
tor Sumner, his particular friend. Mr.
Cox. was removed to crafty Senator
Cameron and Chandler, in furiherance
Of the corrupt rings which those base
political intrguers control, and which
they have made Gen. Grant believe car
he managed to promote his recollection.
The President has concealed from Tho
public the ostensiblc reasons for disploc.
Jig Mr.. Motley, well knowing that they
will not bear the test of public senti
mept and he has managed to keep the
community in ignorance of the fact o
Mr.. GoX's removal until after the cleo
lions III Ohio and Pennsylvania, although
the removal was accomplished two
weeks ago; and now he declines to al
low the publication of the correspond
cocc on the subject until after the No
yemhcr elections. The fact itself h.
would also have concealed, but Senator
Crmeron's exuhcrance of joy divulgcC
the secret prematureIy. Even Mr.. Hoar
expulsion from the Cabinet is to q Ger
tain extent a matter of speculation ant
surmSe. although in all these cases thcr
are fctS and circumstances enough It
satisfy an intelligent people that the pub
lie good has been ANONYMOUSLY prosti
tuted to the lowest interests of party.
Who can be found to be substitute,
for Mr., Morton in the English Missio
and who TO succeed Mr.. Cox, is almost
matter of Indifference with the people
who are becoming extensively disguste
with the whole matter Even the bet
ter portion of the Republicans them
selves, as is shown by extracts from tn
party papers which we have already cor
led, are recognizing what has so lon!
been apparen, to impartial observer:
that the President is comp ctely in tn
hands of the worst Of the managers G
the Radical party, and that he make
terribly bunging work of the name
in which he executes their behcsts.

sY President Grant has appointed
one of his second cousins to an impor-
tant office in the Internal Revenue De-
partment (which became vacant in the
Third Congressional District, Ohio, now
represented by the Robert G. Schenck, a
prominent Republican and chairman Of
the House Committee Of Ways and
Means. The appointee is said to be in
every Prospect a very obscure person,
without character, Influence or sufficient
qualifications to properly discharge the
duties of TIE office, and had lived in the
district less than one year. The selec-
ton was made against the wishes of the
people of the district and the earnest
professionalism of Secretary Boutwell,.
No matter for all these opposing ele
ments "my .clalions' must have office
let what will stand in the way.
The appointment was probably the
means of defeating Mr.. Schenck aud

Cigar Etiquette.

Bulwer says-''The man who does not
smoke hath denied himself the softest conso-
lation he can ever know, save Heaven!" or as
the lawyers say ''words to that effect" There
are but few of the stronger sex who at this
day do not avail themselves of the soothing
influence of the Indian weed. 1t is said that
since the late war the increased use of tobacco
in the cigar shape has been notable fact;
that where one cigar was evaporated in the
Northern States, now a score are wasted in
odorous incense. 1t may be that, as nation,
Americans are copyists, and that the example
OF the famous Family Man who presides so
amiably at the White House has granted to
many an excuse for the fragrant fury of the
perpetual cigar At any rate, while the
fashion prevails it is as we'll to do the thing
'decently and in order" Even the most
lnyeterate deyotees to their cigar may
not be aware that in the Headquarters of
fumigatory perfection, Havana, there is
regular and recognized order of cigar
etiquette. In Cuba every one smokes. from

their sympathy as smokers. II is the custom
there, when one asks for a light, even for a
stranger, to take out his case and offer
fresh cigar, as a sort of recognition for his
obligingness. In this matter of lighting,
there is freemasonary throughout the
world, but it is wide breach of politeness
to hand a lighted cigar for the purpose of
ignition, without first carefully knocking off
the ashes; worse still would it be to pass the

The keel for the third of the new collers for
the Reading Railroad was laid this week at the
ship-yard OF Resney, Son & Archbold at Chester.
-Christian Klotz aged forty-fye years, re-
ming a tree al Fifth and Poplar Streets yester-
day afternoon and was badly injured. He was
admitted to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon Charles
Marvin aged nine years, residing at No 1918
Catharine street, was run over by an express
wagon in Wheat street, below Catharine, and
badly injured.
The alarm of fire last night about twenty
minutes past ten o'clock was caused by the
burning of the wheelwright shop of Bell &
Haines, No. 1876 Dock street. The fire originated
near the stove, and was extinguished before any
serious damage had been done. When the fire.
men were returning, disturbance took place
between some rival tremen in Third street, near
Chesnut.
The annual meeting of contributors to the
Children's Hospital was held Yesterday after
noon. The annual report showed the follow
ing:-Cases treated in the wards during 1869,
12l; prescribed for at the dispensary, 5332. The
receipts for the past year, as contrasted with
those for 1868, were $4SS7,50; for 1869, $3774.76
showing falling off of $1112'74. The expen-
diture for 1869 has been S4S50, against $3.50 for
1868, an increase of $400. The Children's Hos
pital, as heretofore, is entirely dependent on the
contributions of its friends in the community.
Nearly all its invested funds having been eX-
hausted in the erection and furnishing of the
present building, without increased means of
support the growth and progress of the hospital
must not only be checked, but its very existence
imperilled.
Many additions and improvements. sanitary
and otherwise, have been made during the year,
and among those in contemplation is q seaside
home, for the convaescent patients and those
affected by the various forms of scrofulous dis
ease, for the establishment of which already
several special donations of considerable amount
have been piVen.

American Wines.

The Pal Mall GGzettee says:-''The wines
OF America, or rather the expressed Juice of

known TO us. A few have suffered from.
perhaps, Catawba, and very few have heard
more of Scuppernong than Longfellow has to
say about it, which is not much. When such
disturbing influences to the vine and its
stakes as the scratching buffaloes and the
wild Apaches and Comanches are improved
off the Western districts, the Mesilla valley
of the Rio Grande, where it passes through
New Mexico, will, it is said, be one great
Rheingao. The valley is two hundred miles
long and five miles broad. DIR. Bell, who
wrote 'New Tracks in North America"
strongly recommends the district to German
emigrants who are accustomed to the cultiva-
ion of the vine. The present prices of
wine in the States are certainly encouraging
to the husbandmen of the Saar and the
Moselle. Missouri or Ohio champagne sells
at from two to four dollars the bottle, and
the few good still wines made at Cincinnati
bring exorbitant prices California liquids
of the same description are inferior, but Just
as dear, and will not keep without doctoring.
Not so, it is said, the juice of the Rio Grande
grapes, most of which came originally from
Spain, and yield full-favored wine which
has been compared to a medium Sauterne.
minus the sweet taste, with the addition of
what we have agreed to call body Some of
these Rio Grande wines are also said to re-
mind the palate of Madeira The few vine
yards that now dot this valley are not very
highly priced by its cultivators, the Mexicans
and Pueblo Indians They do not even prop
up the vines, but allow the grapes to lie and
ripen in the hot dust"

your own to the waiting would-be smoker
No insult can be more direct than to have the
cigar left with you, as if the owner would
intimate that he has no farther use for il after
it has served you.
The tiny paper cigarettes are frequently
used by Spanish and Cuban ladies', and their
gallants become by practice wonderfully ex-
pert in unrolling and rerolling them, with
astonishing rapidity and ease. This too is no
simple feat, since the small quantity of
tobacco they contain is in fine powder and
the paper of most limited dimensions
The whole matter would appear to be incon-
sequential, since they alike end in smoke.
