Fagot Voting In Scotland.

Extensive election frauds, carefully plan
ned aud skilfully executed, IRE not confined
to the city of Now York or to the States of
the American Union alone. 1t is mistake
to suppose that we are the greatest sufferers
on earth in this respect, just as people are
mistaken who think the neighbors in their
own particular town arc the meancst persons
on the face of the globe.
In Scotland, election frauds of very consid-
cradle magnitude have lately been perpc.
tratcd by the aid of what is there termed
4" fagot voting" Non-residents who lack
the requisite property qualfcati to vote,
become the nominal owners of land lying in
small election districts in the northern coun.
ties. A single lot of real estate, OF suffic ent
value TO meet the requr, mcnts of the law
is sold successfully to thirty or forty per
sons who belong to foreign constituencies.
On election day these imported voters go
into the Parliamentary distr ct in which the
land is situated, and each one, as the pro-
prietor of that ind vidual lot, votes for tho
candidate whose agents or friends have pro
cured his assistance in the fraud. At the
last election, fifty electors were added to one
constituency by the efforts of single agent
Among these were actual residents, not Of
other parts of Scotland only. but of almost
every portion Of the United Kingdom.
This Scotch system possesses all tho evil
features Of the not infrequcnt importation Of
Philadelphia Moyameusing" voters to as
ct at our own elections in the attainment
of certain desired results but while II lack
tho hold oloment that mor'a tho incu rNions
OF the sons of that noble city. 1t has the de-
ccncy to assume a garb of legality, which
perhaps renders the fraud all the more dan
| gerous The House Of Commons has dis
cussrd the subject of these systematic viola
tions of law, both last'year and at the pres
ent session; but no steps have yet been
taken to check them.

The Outrage nj Santiago.

The degradation brought upon the United
States by the imbecilc Administration which
now governs the country was completed at
Santiago de Cuba on Wednesday last
Mr.. PHILLIPS, the acting Consul of the
United States at that port, recently addressed
a communication to the Secretary of State
upon the facts within his knowledge con-
corning the civil war in that region. This
comm unication was sent To Congress by the
Secretary, and wa. duly published. When
It reached Santiago the mob who control
the Spanish authorities of the island first
compelled Mr.. PHILLIPS TO sign paper de-
elaring his official letter to DO a forgery
Having signed this falsehood under fear of
losing his life, the teri fed American Consul
still found 1t necessary to foe from he island.
He took passage on French steamer, en-.
barking under the protection of the British
Consul. His own Countryside United States
NOT being able to afford him any protec-
non, he fled from his post under the escort of
British official, leaving any other American
citizen who may happen to be there to the
tender mercies of the Spanish mob.
Can anything be more humilia,ing to the
people of the United States than this event {?
The official representative of the country is
forced 10 escape from city in Cuba that is
in full possession OF SPAIN because an off
cial letter of his, published here, is displeas.
Ing TO body of armed and fanatical rufiians!
Aud, TO complete tho measure Of our dis
grace, he is compelled. even in his fight, to
receive from foreigners that protection which
his own great and powerful Government
does not afford.
revolving comment upon these facts is
offered by the publication, in the same jour
nails which narrate tho fight of Consul
PuILLIPs, of the testimony respecting Cuba
given by the Secretary of State before Com
mittec of the House of Representatives. Mr..
FISH AYERS that there is nothing in Cuba
which is not perfectly satisfactory to him,
and he earnestly begs that Congress may not
take any step which will tend to disturb the
afIectionate relations which he now enjoys
with Sraniards at Madrid and Spaniards in
Cuba The case of Mr.. FISH is hopeless
His heart and mind seem TO lo utterly inca
pable of feeling or knowing what is the duty
Of the United States Government in view Of
the circumstances which now exist in Cuba.
But let the friends Of Spanish barbnrity and
Spanish despolism he assured that the Ame-
rican people arc not as stold and heartless
"a their Secretary of State. And let Gen.
GRANT understand that the moments which
remain to him for action in this matter are
few, and that If he means 20 save himself
from everlasting shame, he must make haste
TO improve them.

Rejection of the st. Domingo Treat,

lighted to hear that the fraudulent scheme
for anncxug ST. Dom nGo without the honest
consent of its people, is likely 10 be defeated.

decided yesterday, by n vote of five to two.

VIII adopt their report.

Mr., SUMNER, pervcrse ana unaccountable as

lust cc TO Cuba, and the cloud will be entirely
lifted from his reputation Let Inn take
ack his calumny that the Cubans have
not abolished slavery let him frankly admit
hat they nre really at war with Spain; aud
let him give up his insane opposition to their
recognition by the United States, and all will

reasonable course, he Will inevitably bring
himself down 10 The grave Of political death
and be remembered only as n man who has

The Methodist preachers Of New York and

The Methodist preachers Of New York and
BROOKLYN have voted that they are satisfied with
the whitewashing report Of the majority OF the
Book Committee on the Book Concern troubles
This is only further proof Of the already we'll
known incapacity of cergymcn to comprehend
and conduct business matters. The Methodist
denomination at large is made up of people of
shrcwd common sense, aud they are not going to
be satisfied with any conclusion in regard TO the
charges against their agents which they have not
the evidence before them to support. Norwill any
such investigation that which il is pretended has
been made suffice TO remove suspicion from the
Book Concern. What they want is tho evidence
in full from which to draw their own differences,
and it is precisely this evidence which, except so
far as the minority have disclosed it, they have
not been permitted to know.
