The Washington Election.

The Patriot Of last week, SAYS:
The Radical ticket is elected. For davs
past this result was fOreshadowed, from the
course pursued by the Administration, and
the unscrupulUus means U.ed by corrupt
ring, both being equally interested in carry
lug the election under the new Territorial
Government. For the FIRST time in our his.
tory, the whole power Of the President aud
Cabinet was openly exerted TO cuerce ard in
tImlda'e the pubic employees into political
submission to their aGthorIIy. Every clerk
without exception, received u formal notice
from the chief Oi his bureau, requiring him to
report and to register as n voter, aud yestcr.
day the Departments were all vacated at an
early hour, III order that this command might
be Obeyed. Hundreds Of men who have no
color OF legal Residence IN Washington. and
who had regularly voted in the States, were
forced to commit moral perjury for fear of
losing their Offices. 1t IS estimated that near
~ 2suuO votes were furnished from this class
for the Radical candidates.
There Is not particle of doubt that the
success of our opponents Is due exclusively to
the alien vote in the Departments and to the
frauds III the negro vote, which we fully ex.
posec, IN the false registration before the
election. 1t was then shown that the co!ored
registry on the basis OF population was 20 6
per cent, while the white registry vas only
l94 per cent, with extraordinary efforts on
both sides. This vast disproporfiOn cannot
be explained except upon the presumption of
extensive frauds.

With all his household to the deem gone down.
But One had wilder woe
For n fair face long ago
Lost in the darker depths OF a great town.
There where who mourncd their youth
With n mGst loving ruth,
For lite brave hopes and memories ever green:
md one upon the wePt
Turned an eye that would not rest.
FOR iaF-oh hilis Whereon its joy had been.
Some talked of vanished gold,
Some of proud hOuOrs told
Some sPake OF friends that ere their trust no more.

Beside n foreign wave,

There spake among them one,

How TO HAVE PLENTY or CUrUMBERs.-
\ correspondent of the Horficulturisr writes /:
had narrow border not more than two and
half feet wide, on the hedge OF a high fence.
J plated three cucumber hills in the border
aud laid some brush-such as is used for pea
vInes-betweeI them and the fence As soon
rs they crept up to the brush, ! pinched oE
the ends which thickened rapidly around the
roots, aud in every direction, throwing ont
the most luxerrieut foliage aud proiusion cf
flowers.
did not allow the cucumbers to urov. but
watched them, aud such as | wished to reserve
for the tables picked as soon as they become Of
proper size, aud all the rest were gathered
every day for pick every day piuching of
the bud OF each shoot. La this way the Hill
continued fresh and productive until touched
by the frost. Some judgment can be formed
OF the value of this practice when add, tha,
more than barrel of pickles was maze from
three hills besides allowing supply for the
table.
Whenever a Leaf began to look rusty or vel.
lowish, 1t was removed, and the cucumbers
aud leaves were cut Of with large scissors. SO
as not to disturb or iujurc the vine There is
an advantage in having them run upon brush
instead Of trailing over the ground because
they are much injured by being trvdden on,
and by being kept low on the brushes they
can be easily and thoroughly examined every
day. which is essential, because If cucumbers
are overlooked, and grow very large, it stops
the yield OF that vine.

How Some Ohio Ladies Attempted to
TFrOm the xenia rOrehIight I

[FrOm the Xenia rOrehIight
Some twenty ladies presented themselves
at the Yellow Springs poll. aud demanded of
the judges of election that their ballots be
received. The judges declined, and invited
them into n room TO discuss the matter. They
complied, and for an hour the matter was ar.
gued pro aud con. The ladies' insisted that
the Fifteenth Amendment repealed so much
OF the Fourteenth Amendment rs would seem
to refuse to women all the rights of citizenship
The trustees read the law, aud said .hey must
adhere TO their oath. The ladies' called upon
professor Of Antioch College to argue their
case, which he did at some length, claiming
that "citiZeD" meant both mea aud women.
But 1t avaied nothing. The trustees refused,
Whereupon the ladies withdrew, saying rhey
wanted the pleasure of casting their votes on
the table it not in the ballot boz, when it was
observed that the Board of Trustees would
keep the ballots as memorials of the frs, at

here be stated that those ladies were ladies of
the first circles. No other twenty ladies'
could be found with higher attainments, more
scientific. minds, more moral wealth Nearly
all OF them are connected with Antioch Col
Iege. The whole interview was conducted
according to the most strict principles of Ell,
guet'e. Not jar or unpleasant word was
heard. The Qames of some OF the ladies' who
engaged in this unlawful outbreak are Mrs.
Tucker, BO'siOrd, Hirst, Weston, Darley,
Lilley; Beals and Chamberlain aud the
Misses Rice, Hirst. DcNOrmandic, Hume,

A PrinCely Scandal in Berlin.

The Berlin VOLkzeitUHS publishes 4 piece
OF intelligence which is making the round of
all the papers, and creates no small sensation.
The affair relates to the unusually heartIess
proceedings of 4 member of the high aris-

sort, whose plebian origin constitutes her ouIy
offence. The Princes Frederick Wittgeustein.
the wife of captain in the Second Dragon
Guards, arrived at Berlin a few day since and
took possession of her lodgings The Princess
had scarcely dOmiciled herself in the said
apartments when the following ruheard of oc.
cuTreuces took place: The valet Of her hus,

appearance aud requested the Princes to leave

pears the lady was married in due form to
Prince Frederick Wirtgensiein, at Oldenburg,
IN Hungary, on the 18th y une, 1869 on which
occasion the Prince made formal declaration
that no legal impedimeut o! any kind against
the marriage existed on his part. The prine
cess Is IN possession Of all the documents in
proof OF her legitimate rights as "a vile. The
affair Is calculated to attract general attention,
independent Of the pcrsonages whose names
are at stake, as, if there be no faw in the
legal execution of the marriage (Which up.
pears not t" be the case), it would furnish an
additional proof that in some Of the aris,o-
