Two repeaters, both Democratic,
have been sentenced in New York
one for three years and the other for
six months in the Albany Penitentia-
ry.-Er.
Two years ago man tried that lit
game here, and accomplished it. His
ballot was accepted after some pretty
hard swearing on his part. He ere.
peated" the swearing and voting at
Irvineton.a He was sought for by some
of his admirers who wished to present
him with a pair of bracelets, but he was
of a retiring disposition, and after call.
ing down a benediction on the heads
of the would-be donors, he retired from
the scene of his labors, nor has he ever
shown his countenance in this locality
since. 1t is needless to say that he
voted the straight Democratic ticket
in both places.

The Elections.

The elections Of last Tuesday, al
though showing some Democratic gain,
will not change the complexion of the
next Congress. In New York State
the Republicans lost two Congressmen.
In New Jersey they have gained two,
and have majority of in the Senate
and 8 in the House, which insures the
election of United States Senator
next winter, for term of six years.
Massachusetts is carried wholesale by
the Republicans. The Minnesots del
egation in Congress will have one more
Republican than usual, and one less
Democrat. Maryland does the same
little trick gaining one Republican
Congressman. The Democrats gain
one Congressman in Michigan, two in
Kentucky, and one in.Arkansas. The
Democratic majority in New York
City is about 10000 less than in 1868,
owing to the new election law passed
by Congress to prevent and punish
election frauds. Riots we're gotten up
by the Democracy in several of the
cities of the Southern States, and
the Democratic vote was larger on that
account. Perhaps during the sitting
of the next Conoress we shall havc
laws passed which will insure fair
expression of the voting population
of New York City and the Southern
States, and then we will have no
trouble in re-electing Gen. Grant for
another term to the position which he
has occupied for two years with as
much ability as any man who ever
held the Office of President of these
United States.

About an oiIPrince- John Fagundus

We have read many accounts Of
late about John Fagundus, the oil
prince of this Comfy, stealing trunk
in May last, of one Humasou, a hotel
Keeper at Trunkeyville, Forest Coun-
ty. John is young and single man,
and last spring became possessed of
money by means of the Fagundus
Farm, now owned by Neyhart and
Grandin. They paid for the farm
something over 100000. There were
of the family, the mother of John and
her daughter. In the sale the old lady
reserved one sixth interest in the farm,
the daughter one sixth. and we believe
there was an interest reserved for John.
Soon after the sale, the old lady died,
and also the daughter, leaving John
inheritor of all the property. That
he, wealthy, man, as he is, should be
accused Of stealing an old trunk, filled
with articles Of but little value to any
one-though there was some money
in the missing trunk-caused much
talk. and the newspapers have publish
ed it far and near. He was taken be-
fore Justice of the Peace of Forest
Co.. to sppesr and answer, the alleged
theft having been in Forest County,
while the defendant lives in Warren
County. Therefore, by agreement, he
was on Monday last, brought before
Esq. Parmlee, of this place, and had
his examination. The day was given
up to the investigation of the case, and
on its conclusion, John Fagundus was
acquitted-no proof having been ad-
duced that he did or could have stolen
it. For at the time he was at home
attending to his sick mother and sister,
and we believe he was sick himself.
The trunk was taken by mistake and
lett III barn Tor many weeks, the
owner not being able to find any clue
to it. While lying in the barn, which
several parties occupied for keeping
the oil teams, some one did break il
open and take out the valuables; but
John Fagundus knew nothing
of it; and after full and careful, i'm
partial hearing, he was acquitted.
Brown u Stone appeared for the de-
fense, and F. D. Reeves for the prose
cution.
We have given little space to this
matter, for the purpose of putting
yoWg Fagundus right before the com.
munity. We are satisfied that he has
not had full justice done him in this
matter before. 1t is q very great inju.
ry to a man to have such charges pre-.
ferred against him; and when untrue
the mistake should be rectifed as the
charge was given to the world Var.

CHILD DEsERTIoN.-~On Friday
evening last young woman who, from
appearances, we should suppose to be
about 20 years of age, arrived on the
7 p. M. train from Franklin, carrying
in her arms a female infant apparent
ly two weeks old. The woman was
well dressed, and evidently respecta-
bly, connected. She registered her
name at the Duncan House as Mrs.
Allen, of Franklin-which is no doubt
fictitious. The clerk conducted her to
room No. Z. Everything went we'll
until breakfast time next morning,
when she failed to appear, the land
lord becoming uneasy, sent servant
"to call the lady in No. T." The SER
want knocked at the door, and, receiv-
ing no answer, ventured to enter, when
10 the room was deserted by the wo-
man, leaving the child in bed. The
hostess now has charge of the little
wait, and has christened it petroleum
Duncan" very appropriate name.
We have not heard what disposition is
to be made of it, but have no doubt it
will be we'll cared for.-OH City Times.

A Coal OIL SwINDLER.-The Belle.
Fontaine Republican of last week thus
narrates the exploits of swindler ir
that city:
Last Saturday afternoon, a we'll
dressed, business like young man, call.
ing himself Fl. S. Paine, stepped into
several of our business houses, where
coal oil is sold, and representing him.
self as the agent of Cleveland house,
wanted to take orders for oil. By of
tering oil two or three cents below the
market price, guaranteeing its quality,
and proposing to pay freight on the
first lot, he finally succeeded in selling
to two or three of our dealers. He
then wanted one of the purchasers to
go to the bank with him to endorse a
draft on his house for S25 as he said
he was out of funds. The gentlemen
so solicited however, having had his
fingers slightly burned in the fire be.
fore, politely declined. A suspicion
at one entered his mind that the young
man was a swindler, and he telegraph
ed to the house at Cleveland to know
if they had any such agent. The re-
ply soon came that they had not, but
that some swindler had been drawing
on them from various points. This
was sufficient grounds for further pro-
ceedings. The order for twenty bar
rels of oil was duplicated Monday
morning, and the young man obtained
So. He was then arrested on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretences, and thrust into the Jail,
where he yet languisheth in painful
suspense, awaiting his trial at court.

Irwin Kennedy, prisoner at the
jail who has confessed to burglary
committed three years ago, and who is
the principal witness against man
who is charged with being accessory
to il before the fact, is either becoming
insane, or is Stimulating insanity. He
has smashed the shelves and other lit
tie conveniences which he had fixed
up in his cell to make him comforta-
BILE and throws himself on the floor,
laughing idiotically at the other pris-
oners. Day before yesterdy he insane
ly tore to pieces his vest, but with a
wisdom that savored of reason, care
fully took some money out of the
pockets and transferred it to his
breeches, before destroying the vest.
His sentence has been deferred two
terms on account Of the trial of his
alleged accomplace, who until the
bringing of this charge, had always
borne an unsullied name.
SAD ACoIDENT.-An old woodsaw.
yer whose name we did not leern, was
run over by a train near Crouch's Ele-
vator, last evening, and had both legs
cut off. He is about fifty.fve years Of
age, and resides with bis son-in-law,
Frank Engler on Twelfth street east
of Parade. The injuries are probably
fatal, as very few men of that age can
recover from the effects of so terrible a
disaster.
A CHERRIES RIDE.-On last
Wednesday, a man about 2S years of
age, German named Joseph Schmidt,
got into n freight car at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and concealed himself there, in
tending to steal ride eastward, as he
wanted to get to Lockport, N. Y. The
car was loaded with barrels of cider,
and soon after he had hidden himself,
locked up, and the volunteer passenger
was i'll darkness. The car was not un-
locked until it reached this city, on
Saturday, when the poor fellow was
discovered, nearly famished. He had
provided nothing 10 eat on the journey,
and for three days he had been without
mouthful of food. Luckily for him
he could assuage his thirst-always
worse than hunger-by helping him
self to the cider, he having opened one
of the casks. He prefers to walk the
remainder of the distance, rather than
to run the risk having such legthy
pauses between meals. a

The Titusville Courier of the 9th,
says; Last night about twelve O'Clock
information was brought to officer
MeGraw that man was lying in the
road near Brawley's Hotel. He inn

learned that a man had been knocked
down and robbed of twenty eight dol

handled and was covered with blood.
We did not learn his name nor the
perpetrators Of this daring robbery.

A Radical Institution.


The Associated Press monopoly is one of
the worst of Radical machines. which may &C
count for its success in STAYING off the Post
81 Telegraph Bill in Congress. Anyone who
has read their dispatches after election can
not have failed to notice that where the
Radicals have been victorious, the news Is
quickly spread over the country IN the most
positive and elaborate terms, but where the
Democrats have been victorious, If the news
is not entirely suppressed, it is so disguised
as to lead to the belief that the Radicals are
triumphant until it has come to be under
stood that silence or "slow returns" mean
Democratic victory. This is done for the
purpose of creating the impression that the
popular vote is still Radical. By this means
they hope to continue themselves in power
The following is the most fimsy attempt
to manufacture Radical buucombe out of a
Democratic victory, which will very plainly
illustrate the reliability of the news fur
nished by the Associated Press. We copy
from the r. l. Union of Yesterday morning ::
DENVER, COL, April s.
At the municipal election, yesterday, at
Denver, Central City, Black Hawk,
Georgetown, and Pueblo. the Republicans
elected ell their officers with the exception
of ten Democrats i'll Denver, the ponce
judge in Central City, the police Judge IN
Black Hawk, and two trustees IN Pueblo
All elected in Denver except ten Demo
Gratis Very explicit, indeed, and would
lead to the supposition that the Republicans
had elected somebody if there were any
more offices to be filed. How long will
the people endorse such dispatches. Yet
they are In keeping with the great majority
Of dispatches that are sent over the wires
for Radical buncombe and buster, and suit
just such journals as we copy the above
from. They do not wish the people to know
the reaction that is taking place all over the
country, and as long as they can keep the
Democrats from going to the polls, believing
that there are heavy odds against them, and
keep them from perfecting the working or
gsnization of the party, they will continue to
thus mutilate real facts of news
When Democrats do their duty and come
out in their full strength, they will find that
popular sentiment is with them, and for the
princi pies of reform and economy, that only
true democracy can profess and adhere to.
