THE CONNECTICUT FRAUD.

At last we have clear and full evidence of
one of the frauds which the Republicans be-
lieve nave for several years been committed
in New Haven.
The Democratic counters figured and the
Democratic moderator returned one hundred
more rotes for English in the Fourth payd of
Ner Haren than were actually cast The
facts can be established to the perfect satisfac-
ton of an honest man. They are ubstantial-
~ as follows:
Whole number of votes registered l,4O4
Number not voting 100
Number legally voting 1924
Illegal votes cast 2
Total. 1916
Subtract - votes for assessors put in the
State box, and the total for Governor becomes
1897.
But the vote returned is:
For Jewell SO
For English 7lS
II ,297
Fraudulent excess 100
One year ago the Republican canvass in
this ward gave the Democrats about 80 ma
jroity, and the Democrats themselves claimed
only about 60. But they make the returns
give English about $50. The Republicans
then believed that they were cheated, and
they determined to keep closer watch the
ly and most carefully counted. 1t justifies
the statement above given-l ,404 voters reg
istered, 1870 not voting, illegal votes. Total
for governor, after subtracnng the votes for
assessors, 1877. But by giving English 7lS
votes instead of 6l6, they made the total l.,
297, which is 100 more than could possibly
have been given.
. Both the Democratic and Republ can Reg
is.rars certified to the correctness of the list.
ihere are very nearly the same number OF
votes given for the Republican candidate for
representatives. as for the Republican State
ticket. But one hundred more votes are de-
ciared for the Democratic State ticket than
for the Democratic Representatives. Mon
who watched the polls ali day say there could
not possibly be any such discrepancy. There
could not have been more than half a dozen
difference. All persons familiar with cleo.
tions know that when electors once come I,
the polls they almost without exception put
vote in every box.
The Fourth ward is the one in which Gov
ernor English himself resides. His nephe,
named English, and the well-known Demo
cratic citizen, Sam Bishop, have been among
the counters both years and perhaps longer
The latter is reported as acknowledging tina
he s.supposed there was a mistake." Whe
the matter began to be publicly discussed
young English, the nephew, urged re-coun
and was fastening to unseal the boxes whe
he was warned not to touch the ballots. 1t
reported, however, that the seals have actu
ally been broken.

There is said to be no prospect of an
adjustment in the Joint High Commission
of the San Juan boundary question, which
is as follows: BY the provisions of the Trea-
ty of 1858 fixing the boundary between the
United States and British America from the
Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, it
was stipulated that the line through Puget's
Sound should be in the center OF the chan
mel around the island of San Suan There
are two channels through both of which
vessels can pass. The United States claim
however, that surveys, soundings, &C.,
show that the northern is the main chan
mel, while the British Government insists
that the southern is the one referred to in
the treaty. All admit that the island is
not worth having, and that neither Gov
eminent cares for it, but, because it is a
subject in which the pride of both Gov
ernments has been enlisted, neither is
willing to recede. The island is very
small and unproductive, and its possess
ion can be of no possible advantage to Ell
Their government. 1t is now without civil
government, and is under the Joint mill
tary occupancy of both governments. No
is possible, for the island is
too small and insignificant to divide, and
the only significance of the contest is the
priociple involved. From present indca-
tons, no agreement on this question will
be arrived at.

The blow which Irving administered to
Weed in the New York Legislature had
far reaching effect. Irving knocked the
nose of the democratic majority out of
joint. Irving's resignation leaves Billy
Tweed without the necessary majority to
carry his pet measures, occasioning that
potentate considerable anxiety and calcu-
lation about the matter. The republicans
have concluded to stand their ground
