many Ring and Steal Vouchers.
YORK, Pa, Oct. 22.-Last week, soon
after the Legislature appointed the Re-aud-
iting Committee, the Courthouse was en-
tered and all the vouchers stolen that could
impeach any Of the members of the ring.
Last night the Courthouse was again enter
ed and all the Treasurer's accounts for the
past six years were stolen, together with
the stub book, which contains a record of
the notes Issued by the county. But more
| important than all, the Re-auditor's report,
which was to have been filed at the No
vember term Of the court, containing evil
dsnce of the most gigantic frauds, was car
ried of. v

what the Election of Hartrsnft Cost.
L. Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
New YORK, Oct. 20.--A Philadelphia
correspondent who has good facilities of
/ ascertaining what was expended in the
Grant campaign in that State, says the
amount expended by the State Republican
Committee to elect Hartranft amounted to
three million dollars. The revolt of Nc
Clure, Curtin, Forney, Hickman, Moore
head, Marshall and a dozen or more Re-
publican newspapers constitutes the reason
for this enormous expenditure. The pro-
1
tee was to impress the public with the esti-
nation in which Buckalew and Hartranft
and Curtin were held by their neighbors,
By causing Buckalew and Curtin to run far
below, and Hartranft far above the general
average of their tickets at their respective
homes. This required the expenditure of
$4,000 in each Of the three counties. In

with effect, for the Democratic majority
was greatly reduced, and some of Grants
r9venue officers are likely to be in con-
dition that pardon from Hartranft will
be necessary to their promotion. In Lam
caster, greenbacks were lavished without
stint, and it is charged on both that one of
Grants revenue officers in Lancaster City
was in the market to buy Democratic
Judges at 5000 a head, provided they re-
duced Buckalew's vote one hundred in
their respective polling places. Remarked
this revenue officer: 81 had no occasion to
buy judges of election when an endless
number OF Germans offered themselves to
vote for Hartranft at from one to two dol
lars head" This fling at the Germans is
doubtless malignant device to obscure
the fact that the voters who sold themselves
were Bourbon Democrats of native pro-
duction.
The Campaign Prospect.
The Sun says in the morning, of cam
paign prospects: ave will state the case
anew. The number of electoral votes nee
essary to choose President is 1874. The
old slave States give 1873. The election il
Georgia tends to show that there is pos
sibility that all those States, with the ex
ception of South Carolina, which seems tc
belong to Grants man Moses, may, undel
certain contingencies, go for Greeley il
November. Leaving South Carolina of
the list those States would give him 13l
votes, which is only SO short of the mum
, Der required to elect him. Assuming
for the purposes of this caleula
ton that Greeley viii Obtain
these 131 Southern votes, where in tn
North can he get the other 5S? New Yorl
counts 35, Indiana Is, Nevada 8, amount
ing to the precise number required. Be
sides these there are New Hampshire, Con
necticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Califor
! MIA and Oregon to draw upon. A fair lool
at the situation will satisfy candid maj
that the old adage that there is no knowinl
, who will be Governor until after the eleC
, ton still holds true. No cautious man wi
