WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The evidence is
now complete that a regularly organized
| importation of negroes, especially from the
northern counties Of Maryland, has been
going on for some time Conductors ON
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad state that several thousand
| negroes passed over that road within the
last few weeks. This, however, is not the
| only evidence of the contemplated and par
TALLY accomplished fraud. There are par
ties here whose names are withheld for the
present, who state that the agents q the
ring men, sent out By Simon Cameron. with
tha Of
hands, have sent hundreds OF negroes into
Pennsylvania. A gentleman who met car
load of them inquired where they were 60
ing. One Of them replied, "To work for
Masss Cameron, and vote for MaSsa Grant
in Pennsylvania"
In NEST cases extravsgant wages have
been promised to these deluded creatures,
but the understanding among all of them
seemed that the job was not to last long.
They are TO be scattered throughout the
State, but their strength will be thrown in
to Philadelphia, Pittsburg and the larger
towns, where it is supposed they will not
be detected. OF course they are not en-
tirely ignorant OF the character of the bust
ness for which they are wanted, and also of
the penalty which the law Of Pennsylvania
metes out to parties convicted of illegal vot-
ing. .. .''...'..
West Virginia Election for Congress
men.
Although there was an election held for
Congressman IN West Virginia, on the 22d
Of August last, the same election will be
held again for Congressman on the oath of
this month. The dual elections are the re-
suit Of partisan construction of the cleo
ton law of that State, the same candidates
contesting in both.
~ New York Repeaters.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-The registration
in Philadelphia this year is lG2,l6S. The |
vote Of that city last year was 1856. |
The total registration in New York last |
year was 1882. These figures throw |
some light on the confidence of the Came /
ron Ring about carrying Pennsylvania.
In political circles here, at present, Indi- |
ana is generally conceded TO Hendricks. |
Ohio is claimed by both sides, with the |
Grant men over confident thai il is sure for |
them. The fiercest battle is in Penntyl- |
vanis, where the Administration is resort |
ing to corrupt measures more extensively |
than in North Carolina or Maine. The |
surface indication, in the belief OF all prom
inent men on the Democratic side in Penn
sylvania, is that BuckaleW will be elected |
ty large majority. But, on the other /
hand, Surveyor Cornell and Collector |
Arthur profess to have news that the cleo
ton of Hartranft is sure by large major
itY. The confidence manifested by them /
can only be accounted for On the ground Of |
knowledge of schemes for fraudulent yot- |
ing, false counting and bribery prepared |
for election day. One point in the conf
dence is based on $4,000 majority in Phila-
delphia. One of the Custom-house lead !
ers was Boosting Saturday that Philadelphia |
would give between $1,000 and 10000 ma
.jolity for Hartranft.
A few facts have leaked out how they ex-
pect 10 secure that majority. A man by |
the name of John A. Hearn has been en- |
gagged for four weeks past, in taking gangs |
of men on from this city and having them |
registered in Philadelphia. They have been |
registered several times under different |
names, and have swollen the registry sew
eral thousands. This has been done under |
the direction and assistance of Customhouse |
officials.

missed from place which he had held for
