Overwhelming Evidence of Fraud in
North Carolina.

Raleigh- n. c. august 81, Dispatch to the New
York Herald
| The most infamous frauds have been
perpetrated. Already letters are coming
in from prominent gentlemen living IN
| different parts of the State, giving ac-
counts of wholesale fraudulent voting.
| In Bladen County eighty more negroes
voted than were registered. In Bruins
wick, hundred. In Franklin, voting
was carried on without registration books.
At one precinct in this county, Wake, the
same thing was done. IN northampton,
two hundred negroes voted who came
over from Hartford County. From other
sections the cry comes up, fraud"
York World
In Halifax County, in the East, the CEN
sus of voting population, rs shown by
the official returns, was, in 1870, 400.
The vote in that county the same year
was 4.571, or 122 in excess of the voting
population This year the fraud there is
still greater the whole vote polled being
5,301, an increase OF 720 votes over the
vote of 1870, and of $50 votes at the
election Just held over the voting popula-
ton. Now here is most palpabe fraud,
which, according to my present esti-
mates, would easily neutraliZe the ma
;ority Caldwell will have probably been
elected by.
Several districts are reported rs having
polled, like Fairfax County a larger vote
than was registered, and some of them
ere said to have counted more votes than
were actually cast.
In one precinct In Brunswick eighty
more votes were cast than were registered.
In Harnett Township, New Hanover, one
or two companies, with arms, marched
to the polls. In the First Ward at
Wilmington, and other precincts of that
county, men registered after Sunday and
on the day of election. Having Radical
County Commissioners, the votes OF
these precincts were, OF course, not
thrown out There is no doubt of frauds
in Columbus and Bladen. They are be
iieved to be general throughout the Third
Congressional District, and, in fact,
throughout the State.

Evidences Of heavy Adminisli a.. oh
frauds continue to come In from every
quarter of the State. In Halifax County
there were several hundred more votes
polled than the number of male citizens
over 81 by the census of 1870. At one
precinc. in that county the boxes We're
stuffed with quite number of votes in
excess of what the registration books ac-
count for Negro boys of from 10 to 81
voted in large numbers everywhere. The
best informed Democrats believe that
frauds to the extent of several Thousand
can be proven. Caldwell's majority will,
on count, be about 1000 votes, and the
number of votes cast will be nearly 10, 0C0
larger than ever before. 1t is believed
that Merrimon has majority offrom 2, 900
to :, COO of the honest votes of the State.
The Democratic press of the State
strongly demands that the matter be test
ed before the next Legislature, and no
doubt is entertained that it will be DONE

quette demanded that it should be changed

her father said to her as he left the house.

OF course she would, but on papa's re.
turn in the evening he found his hya-
cinths picked, and the marks of the little
feet in the garden bed.
Calling Mary up to him he looked very
grave and said
My dear, you remember that told
you particularly not to touch the hya-
cinths, and now l find them picked and
no one has been in the garden but you.
How is this ~
Mary laughed and said:
"Oh, papa, it was splendid in the gar

nest, and there was a great big butter

faltered out:
"Why, papa, you said that when Il

GR4NDt,AIIIER!S CHAIR.

I LOVE- when the evenings are balmy and still,
And summer is smiling on valley and hill,
To see in the garden the little ones there.
All happy and smiling round grandfathers chair
Such stories he tells them,-such tales of de-
light
Such wonders to dream of by day and by night,
It's little they're thinking of sorrow and care,
Their bright faces beaming round grandfather
chair.
And words, too, of wisdom, fall oft from his
tongue;
Dear lessons TO cherish and treasure while young,
Bright things to remember when white Is their
hair,
And some of them sit in grandfather's chair.
Ali little ones love him, be kind while you may,
For swiftly the moments are speeding away;
Not long the kind looks and the love you may
share,
That beam on you now from grandfathers

A GAMESTERS DEATH BED.

"cALLED ON a QUEEN-FULL" TO ETERNITY.
From the New York Times.)
Edmund Wellington, who was shot Mt
the " New Idea" saloon, roadway, early
on Saturday morning, was dying at
o'clock last evening. From the time of
his admission to the hospital until O'Clock
on sunday evening he had lain on his
right side. A: that hour he made two or
three convulsive struggles, and nearly
threw himself from the cot. This was
prevented by the attendants.
clay me on my back" said Wellington.
This was done, and almost Immediately
afterward it was ascertained that his en-
tire left side was paralyzed and insensible
to the lancet, while his right side was I'M
usually sensitive. He lay in that position,
raving in an incoherant manner, growing
weaker hourly.
If 1t is true that the ruling passion is
strong in death, then Wellington was by
nature gambler and wine bibber. AT
O'clock yesterday the Sun reporter was
admitted to ward No. 10; where tie man
lay dying. His left eye was covered with
a cloth, and n milky-opal film covered the
pupil Of the right eye. lie was entirely
blind.

then broke out; ~ copper on the ace"

"Red, give me stake, for l got broke on

"Let's all take drink" etc.
For nearly ten hours he had been NUT
tering in this way, occasionally changing
the subject.
In the afternoon three of tho gang who
were with him at the time of the shooting
called at Bellevue and persistently de-
manded admittance to the ward where he
lay, saying that they wanted to give him
something to drink. The names of two of
them are unknown. The third is one Bell,
and is minus an eye. lie was recently pa
tient in Bellevue Hospital from cut across
the abdomen received in drunken row 4.
Why are not those witnesses detained ?

The Italian government has been very re-

traffic, which is constantly carried on be-

and the African coast, with unparalleled
boldness and almost entire impunity.
The slave-dealers cruise between these

literally with human merchandise. The
fate that awaits the girls in Africa is too
horrible to describe.

Democrats held State convention in
Springfield, last Friday, in obedience to

Joe Ledlie Accounts differ as to the
number Of delegates present-three, six
and even twelve are said to have been in
attendance. Joe, disbelieving the state
ment that there are not more than dozen

view Of the scanty representation. En-
couraged by the adage, however, that tall
oaks from little acorns grow, he proceeded
under the call ito nominate one presiden-

III Is OF course too early yet to calculate the full
eject OF the Cincinnati nominations on the cam
Iaign for the Presidency. No matter whether
80 intended or not, and il is idle to discuss the
question, il cannot be denied that the action of
the convention has given renewed hope to the
democrats that they are, somehow or other
TO profit by the dsaffection in the republican
party. The friends of the administration have
nothing to gain by undertaking or misstatiny
the Cincinnati movement, nor will it do to treat
it as a huge joke, as some papers seem disposed
to DO. The consolidation of contending fac
tons on platform positive only on one
Ioint-OppOsitiOn to Grant-and on candidates
chosen with a single eye as to their availa-
bllty to aid in the purpose OF defeating Grant,
will have the sympathy of democrats; perhaps
their support. Long John Wentworth said in
Cincinnati. in a speech TO the Illinois delega-
ton, that this movement must look 70 the de M
OeTatic party for nine-tenths of its support
90 Paul may plant" he exclaimed, " and ApolIOs
may water, but the democratic party must give
the increase" This sentiment was Greeted W It'll
immense cheering. Whether the democratic
convention will crafty these cheerers and sup
port the Cincinnati ticket, or make nomination
OF their own, remains to be seen. In any event
the people will be called upon to decide whether
they will favor the measures under which the
country has rapidly recovered from he effects
of disastrous war, or try a new policy under
new leaders. Before making up their minds
however, il would be well to ponder the words
OF the Boston Transcript Suppose the effort
to +" beat Grant" a success-what next? The
what next" and not the beating of Grant is
the main thing to be considered.
