OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT CERTIFICATES OF ELECTION
GIVEN THE DEFEATED CANDIDATES.
One of the most outrageous election frauds
ever perpetrated in the United States was con-
slimmated at Richmond, Va. yesterday At the
election OH Thursday last all the Republican
nominees for city officers Mayor, Collector of
taxes, Corporation Attorney. etc.--were elected
by nearly three hundred majority. The election
was pronounced fair and impartial, and the most
peaceable ever known. by the entire Democratic
press at Richmond. All the Commissioners of
Election were of the Democratic party and after
three days tampering with the ballots and ballot
boxes, they have decided that the entire Demo-
cratic ticket was elected. have set at nanght the
popular will, and awarded the defeated candi-
dates certificates of election In other words
Mayor Chahoon and his associates have been
counted out, and Mr.. Ellyson and his friends.

voted against them are counted in" The only
redress the gentlemen who are so umiustlv de-
Irved of their positions have is an appeal to thu
Virginia State Courts, and it is quite probable
that before the legal proceedings In such case
would be ended the time for new election will
have arrived.

my colleague for associating them with these
Democratic repeaters of the City of New York

corruption unless We can prevent it hy legal pen

to prevent election frauds by legal penalties ::
and say,so far AZ the Democrats of Ohio are
concerned there are few Of them who would not
send to the pclitcntiary any man guilty of the
crimes referred to in the nineteenth and TWEEN
letli sections Of this bill. The only objection
that Is made dnd hpIf' is Tlu1r Me shoe Uitfh,s

these crimes from the State Courts Of the CITY
Of New York to the United States Courts. Who
would think of indicing anybody for an election
fraud in II State Court in the City of New-York;
Why, Sir. the Judges themselves are elected bv
these very repeaters; the Judges themselves are

BUSINESS FA11UREs-1he Condition Of Business
writer in Hunts Merchant Magazine says that a ma.
ority of the suspensions recently have been those of
small firms, whose combined liabilities are scarcely
equal to those of single frstclass house. Most of
the failures among the dry goods commission houses
have arisen from the firms assuming the responsible
ties of manufacturers, and taking the risk of unproft
able mill properties. He believes there is really much
in the present condition of the country to bespeak sat
isfacon and confidence, and that fair survey OF the
field warrants the expectation of steady prosperous
business in 1870 and that the mercantile community
need less to be cautioned than encouraged

MATERIA MEDICA

Contains no more acknowledged powerful and effect

At the time is fact beyond dispute that such
medicines leave in the human system bad effects.
Therefore, it should be mans study to avoid all medi

the many mercurial and arsenical preparations.
