THE NEW HAVEN FRAUD.

At The close of the polls in New-Haven iast
month, the votes of the WITH Ward were duiV
counted and returned as follows:
Governor. Jewell. Rep. SD English be" ITO
RcpreScn tatpes.. Republican. 67e. Democratic
Here were 113 more votes returned ior u"'-
ernor than for Reprcsentativcs-loo mo'c qua"
the full number polod. The votes ior hopi'-
sCntativcs tailed with the recoru W '0
polled-those for Governor did not' nc Dou'U
cratic majority for Governor was consiGeraoiy
heavier than ever before, though IN the whoie
CITY IL WAS less than in 'GS or III 7V. In SNORT,
fine evidence shows that the tally for English and
his associates on the State Ticket was just 100
,,otos more than were cast for them-thcir real
vote ranging from Englsh's G18 (thc highest
mo being a resident of New-Haven) downward.
The error soon attracted notice, and the Re
publcans determined on exposing 1t. Inc
Legislature, being Republican, ordered an In
vestigation, overriding the desperate efforts OF
the Democratic leaders to defeat it. Accord
mgly the boxes (simply locked, and left I'M
sealed in Democratic custody are opened {:
when 10! two bundles of JcwolPs votes, each
counted and labeled 100 at the original can
vass, are found to contain but Hly each.
while English's votes are found TO be 716 as
originally canyassed!
The meaning of this is plain. Tho vote for
English had been returned 718 10y mistake
when he received exactly Gle. A mere com
parison with the pol-list and the vote fol-
Representatives proved the error. In order to
save English, it became necessary that some
one should clardestinely open the box and
steal out 100 of JEWELS ballots, and thai
would leave no more ballots in all than the
poll-list required; but English had 100 more
Jewell 100 less, than were actually cast, and
English's maiority-never before but 79-was
swelled to 1872!
Perhaps a Governor may be secured by suct
villainy, and perhaps James K. English is the
man to hold the Office won for him by such
palpable fraud. We shall wait and see.

that he who breaks State lao NTH intent

the Federal Constitution does thereby commit
grare crime against the United States-a crime
which it is the right and duty of the Federal
Government to denounce and punish. Such
are the considerations which impel as TO give
most hearty approval and support to the
Ku-Klux act.
And now, having answered The World with
entire frankness, we will thank that journal
to respond to this inquiry:
The World recently stated that the liegisla-
tllre of Virginia ordered portrait OF the late
Rebel General Robert +. Lee and refused to
order one of the late Union General George
II. Thomas (also an eminent Virginian), and
that both order and refusal prevailed by q
party vote. VIII The World be good enough
to state vhich party voted thus to honor the
Rebel and disparage the Union Generalf This
is the fifth time we have asked shall we now
have an answerf

We do not know how true it may be, but we see 1T
stated that some of the White Mountain hotels this
season, will charge only 81 80 per day. so that peo-
pie who go up there in search of rest or health or
the picturesque may sustain life without pecunlary
ruin As general rule, Summer tourists are looked
upon as the lawful prey of the gentlemany landlord
and of the thrice gentlemany clerk, or of rustic
house-owners who do not pretend to be gentiemany,
but who have the same notion of the almost incom-
putable value of dogday quarters. 1t is hard to flee
from the hot city only to be cOolly fieeced in the
country. The hours are golden indeed which cost
about shilling minute; but they are not likely to
restore the nervous system of the vaetudinsran OF
limited means.

The Tribune's AnSCer.

The XIIIth, XIVth and XVII Amendments
of the Federal Constitution abolish Slavery
establish the equal political and civil rights OF
citizens, and decree that they shall enjoy in
every State the Right of Suffrage on equal
terms, without regard to race, color, or previ
GUS condition of servitude. And Congress is
expressly clothed by those Amendments with
power TO execute and enforce these Constitu-
tiOnal guarantees.
Now, if the State of New-YOrk shall ever
become prepOnderantly hostile Gas the States
of Maryland and Kentucky VIGOROUSLY are) to
the political and civil equality thus established,
and shall be practically controlled by secret
society or order organized expressly to war
upon and subvert such equality and restore
the regime under which Blacks had no rights
which Whites were bound to respect, and this
secret order shall traverse the rural portions
of the State by night hideously masked
and disguised breaking into dwellings,
and whipping, manning and killing their
peaceful inmates for no other reason tllan
their devotion to civil and political equality as
aforesaid and compelling those they leave
alive to promise never to vote Radical
ticket, then we hold that every one OF these
midnight raiders will be c0nspirators and
rebels against the Constitution and nghtini
authority of the United States, and justly desery-
ing punishment at its hands We further hold
that every member of this prowling bandltn
defcs the authority and violates the laws OF
the United States by the mere fact OF such
membership, and that the KuKlux law only
makes more specific the penalties he incurs by
his lawoss, criminal acts--criminal in their
nature and essence, though no such law had
been emcted by Congress. The Ku-Klux act
defines az ofienses against the Union acts
which were previously oflcnses against the
peace and dignity of the State. II as-
scrts tho correct aud righteous principle

The late Democratic Convention in Ken
lucky gravely resolved that Kentucky is OPP
posed to every form of lawlessness;' which
her Colored citizens are very glad to hear
AS, however the wells and scars across their
own backs give testimony in direct contradic-
ton of the Democratic assurance. they will
want additional evidence that the fact tallies
with the Democratic assertion. They know
that hundreds of them have been dashed, and
manned, and killed, by Kentucky Democrats,
in spite of these tranquilizing resolves and
that the Democratic authorities of that State
have neither protected the victims nor pun
ished the perpetrators. Hence they, for the
present, withhold their faith.

Mr. James Parton writes sensible letter to The
Public School Journal on "Over-SchOOlng and

ming system of which THE TRIBUNE has recently
spoken. Forgetting that the chief business OF
childhood is to grow" we keep our boys and girls
all day and part of the evening at their tasks and
nothing saves them from utter destruction but
their ceaseess rebellion against our murderous re-
quirements. They will not sit still in i-ventiated
rooms! They will not learn those long lessons out
of school! They will coax excuses and holidays
from their mothers! We compel them to disobey
and misbehave in order to save their lives" We
