AN OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDING.

The infamy Of what is known as the
'force BILL or law, is apty illustrated in the
following recital of a case under it in a sis
ter State: "In Louisville one Robert Henson
has been convicted, in the United States
Court, under the Congressional Election
law, of having forced a colored man, named
White, to vote for Congressional candidate
against his will. The evidence produced on
the trial was of a singularly contradictory
character. Two witnesses swOre that they
saw White being hustled up to the polling
place by Henson and othe rs; that loud words
were used, and that White, on being asked for
whom he wanted to vote, said he supposed he
must vote for Adams, who was the Demo-
cratic candidate. For the prisoner two
witnesses swore that White was told to
vote as he wished, and he should be pro-
tected; and one Of these testified to hear
inc the accused himself tell While 10 vO Ie
according TO his sentiments. The victim of
the alleged intimidation was the n put on
the stand, and swore that Henson had
neither threatened to influence him, but
that the colo-ed people had threatened to
have him sent to prison if he did not vote
the Republican ticket; that he voted for
Adams. who lived in the same town with
him, because he wanted to; that ne was
afraid of the cJlored people if he voted the
Democratic ticket, and of the Democrats if
he voted the Republican ticket. On this
evidence the judge returned a verdict of
guilty against Henson, on the supposition,
probably, that the colored voter did not
know his own mind"

NEW YORK.
The Corrupt Radical SenatOrsLThe
Party Rewarding These Fellows.

From the New York Sun (Radical), Nov. 1.
In the spring of 1870 three of the Demo
cratic Senators from this city made deter
mined effort to drive Boss Tweed and his
Ring of robbers from political power. The
fight was a desperate one. The robbers
were terrified. They vainly endeavored to
bride the champions that were assailing
them. They knew that their doom was
sealed if the Republican Senators sustained
Norton, Dreamer and Genet in their war
for an honest city government. Accord
ingly, the robbers drew up a charter that
gave them absolute power over the city.
They forced the charter through the Legis-
lature at an expense of over S1,000000.
Every Republican Senator but one voted for
it. Boss Tweed has repeatedly said that he
bought these votes. The Young Democracy
went down, and the city, bound hand and
foot, was turned over to the thieves by Re-
publican votes.
Within four months after the passage of
that charter TWEED, INGERsOLL, CARNEY,
WOODWARD & Co. stole Sc, 3I2, 54I.37
from the city treasury. JOHN II. KEYsER
slcedrS that OUer 81, 100000 of this amount
,cas dralon in his name on forged endorse
ments.
While the Republicans are denouncing
this Democratic corruption, they are renom-
mating for the Senate the very men who are
responsible for it. The following Republi-
can candidates for reelection voted for
Tweed's infamous charter: Norris Wins
low of Jefferson, William B. Woodin of
Cayuga, George Bowen of Genesee, Loran
L. Lewis of Erie, James Wood of Living
ston.
Francis S. Thayer of Troy, the only Re
publican Senator who scorned Tweed's
brides and voted against his charter, has
been thrown overheard, and another man
has been nominated in his place.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Alleged Secret support of the North
Anew Sensation.


New York, Nov. "a Washington
special to the Herald says that Attorney
General Akerman had long conference
yesterday with the Secretary of State and
afterward with the President. The subject
of the interview was the Ku-KluX question,
involving the punishment of the persons
recently arrested in South Carolina, and
perhaps the PRONUNCIATION of a new procla-
nation. 1t is asserted by those who ought
to know something of the character OF the
information communicated from time to
time to the Executive, that he has much
more direct knowledge on the subject than
even that possessed by the Congressional
Committee. Gentlemen of high character,
formerly officers in our army, who were and
are even now living in the South, having
learned through their supposed Democratic
sympathizers important facts relative to the
secret purposes of this organization, have
made him acquainted with the true nature
of the danger.
1t will be shown when the facts all come
out that the Ku-KluX in South Carolina
have been largely furnished with arms from
Northern sources; that even large part of
the shipment from the arms-manufacturing
companies of the North, especially of New
York, for the last two years will be shown
to be on account of a great activity in the
Southern trade. 1t IS the opinion of the
Administration, and those who sustain its
policy of repression, that it is the design of
the invisible empire to attempt repoSSesSion
by the old Rebel elements first of the sew
eral Southern States, by the Generalization
through terror, outrage and murder Of the
party sustaining reconstruction and its re
suits; and second by similar means, but
more general and systematic in character, to
force every Southern State to vote against
the Republican President nominated, and
thus restore to them the control of their
local and State affairs, and The Inauguration
of their party associates in the government.

THE PRESIDENTS son.
Special FavOrs Granted Him to E
able Him to Visit Europe.
From the Washington Patriot, Nov

From the Washington Patriot, Nov. 2
We announced in the Patriot on Tues
day that Frederick Dent Grant, son of his
Majesty Ulysses S. Grant, and a second
lieutenant in the United States army, was
about to visit Europe, special privileges, not
usually accorded to officers who have just
graduated, having been granted him for
that pdrpose. But perhaps this is a reward
for the high standard in scholarship which
the Presidents son attained at the Military
Academy. Yesterday a special order was
promulgated from the War Department as
signing Second Lieutenant Grant, of the
4th United States cavalry, to the orders OF
Gen. W. T. Sherman, to whose guardian
shin he has been temporarily assigned for
his six months tour.
This is doubtless a set-off to the visit of
Prince Alexis to this country. The Gar
of all the Russias detailed high officials of
the Empire to escort the Prince, and the
President of all the United States, includ-
ing those under bayOnet rule, could not do
less than send his son to Europe to be eX
hibited by the greatest military chieftain of
the generation-he who marched from
Atlanta to the sea. Perhaps Fred's visit to
Europe will prove the truth of the story
some time ago published in the New York
World, that our President was anxious and
willing for a matrimonial alliance with the
ROYAL family of Great Britain. Col. Au-
denreid, of Gen. Sherman's military staff,
is also of the party, and they will sail in
few DAYS in the United States steamer
Wabash, which goes out as the flag ship of
Admiral Alden. The trip is to be an ex-
tended one, and the Presidents eldest son
is to be introduced to all the crowned heads
of Europe.

declaring at the same time that failure or
refusal to do this will involve the grayest
political consequences.

English Claims for Cotton Destroyed.
The English claimants for cotton destroy
ed subsequent TO the termination of the re-
bellion, as determined by the Washington
treaty, are arranging that this clause must
be so interpreted as to carry out the inten-
tons of the trainers, and this they insist
was one limit. They further insist that our
Supreme Court has decided that so far as
the cotton operations of the United States
Treasury are concerned, the rebellion did
not terminate until June 20, the date of the
order stopping the further seizure of cotton.
Some of these agents did not receive this
order for six weeks after its date, and dur
ing this time an immense amount of cotton
was seized.
A Georgia Supervisor Removed.
George Marston, of New Hampshire, was

cy and embezzlement. He was arrested and
bailed in the sum of ten thousand dollars.
At the same time p. I. Robb, Collector of

about as much title to the same as Robb has
to that of the Fighting Colonel of Illinois,"
A MIDDLE i'm the Pension Bureau.
George W. Johns, chief clerk of the
Pension Bureau, is in trouble, and is
charged with the fraudulent issue of PEN
sion certificates. The facts in his case are
about as follows: Last February Congress
passed an act granting pensions to surviving
officers and soldiers of the war of 1872,
who served sixty days or more in said war
Under this act there could be no claims for
pensions for less time of service. 1t
seems a case has been worked up which
the receiver disapproved, as coming within
the legal prohibition, but, notwithstanding
which disapproval, Johns signed as all
right, and had the same docketed on the
pension list, and the pension certificates
were thereupon issued. Commissioner Ba-
ker having returned, the matter will be
turned over to him. The department, mean
while, is being overhauled to ascertain if
there are other irregularities.

Senior Sorilla and Sagosta are widely at var
lance on this point, the latter supporting
the government heartily. A compromise
between Sagosta and SOrilla, which up to
this time has been discussed and looked
forward to among the conservative republi-
cans, is now thought to be impossible, as
the agitation of the treatment of the Inter-
national is sure to produce complete rup-
ture.

bic explosion took place this morning. at the
railroad depot. At twenty minutes past
eight O'Clock the mail train to leave for
Hamden at nine fifteen stood at the depot,
and while the firemen were taking on coal
the locomotive boiler exploded. George
Valkner, engaged in shoveling coal from
car into the tender, was blown into the air
fifty feet, and fell two hundred yards dis
tant nangled corpse, having no clothing
on but one boot. Adam Schilling, fireman,
breaking coal on the tender, was instantly
killed, the top Of his head being blown off.
Adam WOmsler, laborer, was injured, but
to what extent is unknown. Henry Burt,
fireman, was somewhat injured. Frag-
ments of the boiler and engine, weighing from
thirty TO fifty pounds, were blown several
squares, and fell through the roofs of houses
on Second street. Some passed over the
wharfboat and dropped into the Ohio river.
The front of the boiler was blown forward
over a coal car and buried in the rear end
of the Express car. The locomotive was

rived at the depot before the explosion or
the loss of life would have been much
greater. The wareroom adjoining the
railroad Office was badly wrecked.
