Democratic Frauds In ~Indiana-The Evidence
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Towns to be Thrown
Ont.
A special telegram to the New York
Times. says:
There is abundant evidence coming in
that outrageous frauds have been commit
ted by the Democrats in the voting, which
is being carefully preserved and collected.
One of their judges of election in Chester.
field township, Madison county, was caught
in the very act of stufing a ballot-box, and
the vote of that township will, in conse-
quence, be thrown out. In the Fifth and
Eighth wards in this city there was the
most shameless Democratic repeating, in
consequence of the absence of a registry
law. In Clay township, Owen county,
giving Hendricks s. majority, the Judges
return more votes than there are names on
the poll-books, and in Lafayette township,
in the same county, the Democratic judges
at the close of the polls took the ballot
boxes half a mile from the voting place to a
house where they secreted themselves and
counted Hendricks into so majority, which
he will lose with that of Clay as both will
be thrown out.
1t is also positively known that the re-
turns of Miami county have been tempered
with. In this case fraud was attempted too
late, as Miami has returned 10 Republican
majority, being a large Republican gain.
Encouraged by these frauds, which they
expected would give them the State, DEM
ocrats gave out that Hendricks had a thou
sand majority, whereupon many of their
gang began bowling for Hendricks, but by
noon to-day they found their frauds had
not been as successful as they had anticipat-
ed and they became blue while the Re-
publi-cans were joyous.
AS the day advanced, and the new coun-
ties were reported or corrections made, the
majority for Browne huctuated between
300 and 100, until at last, about 4 o'clock,
it got down to 10. and q few minutes later,
for the first time, he fell into the minority,
the vote showing AZ against him. The next
dispatches, however, brought him up again
and he went to So, with his chances inn
proved by the reported gains in Dubois and
Martin counties.
BY this time it had become evident that
the majority on either side for Governor
would be very small either way, and that
the remainder of the Republican State ticket
was elected, as Brown ran behind his ticket.
At the same time it was discovered that the
Republican majority in the State on the
Congressional vote in the districts was over
1000, so that, having a gain of two Con-
gressmen and a majority in the Legislature,
this bitter contest had resulted in a substan-
tial Republican victory, and made Indiana
sure for Grant.

RICHMOND THEATR q - No Name "
is certainly an interesting drama, and We
regret that its rendition was witnessed by
such a slim audience. Captain Wraggc,
is one of the best characters in it, and was
admirably rendered by Mr.. Eber'e. We
have never seen this gentleman play better.
The piece was well performed through
out.
By particular request Camille" was
substituted for Man and Wife" at the
matinee this afternoon, and a fine audience
witnessed the performance.
The bill for tonight is a most enticing
one, and Miss HosIner makes her last ap-
peaIance. 1t consists of the Poor Grip
and the roaring farce of " Your Life's in
Danger" 1t should attract a large au-
dience. Mr.. Powell has secured a fine
company for the season, has incurred
heavy expenses for elegant new scenery,
&C., and has made a liberal engagement Of
stars. Our people should requite him by
a generous patronage. The political ex-
element of the times has. no doubt, kept
many away from the theatre, so far, but as
it is now tolerably certain " which way the
cat will jump" we hope to see a more
general attendance.

A New BUILDING LETTING Down.
The large brick building erected last season
on Marshall street, just above Sixth, for
Mr.. L. II. Elicit, and which has since been
occupied by that gentleman as feed store,
exhibited an unlsoked-for weakness about
eleven o'clock this morning. A portion of
the front wall bulged out, the exterior
bricks falling in q mass upon the sidewalk.
A lot Of feed in one of the upper stories
was piecipitated through a window to the
ground. The floor just above the broken
place was not under extraordinary pressure
at the time, only about 10000 pounds of
feed being stored upon it.
Capt. Disney, of the Second Police sta
ton, at once sent for City Engineer DIM
mock, when these two gentlemen took the
necessary precautions to prevent injury to
citizens passing the premises. The front
wal! was propped up until further action
with regard to the building Is decided upon.
Mr.. Elicit, we learn, has notified the late
contractor of the occurrence. The dam.
age to the building, so far, is estimated at
about $3.50.

NOT BEFORE.

Not before in the history Of Virginia has
tho Governor thereof left his State and
gone into other States tor the purpose of
making political speeches. Now, that Gov.
Walker has set this shining example, it is
to be hoped that he will continue his jour-
ney as in North Carolina, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, till the day of the Presidential
election. With like results elsewhere as
in the States thus far visited by him, and in
which a spontaneous feeling of contempt
has o~utspoken itself against Democracy
and Walkers idea of Liberal Republicans,
Greeley will never have it in his power to
send the name of Walker or John B.
Baldwin to the Senate for confirmation as
one of his Secretaries. Poor Walker, he
has gone 3" where the political woodbine
twineth," or, in less m%etaphorical language,
" up a spout"

THE FLAG NAILED no THE MAST
The Republicans of Manchester held a
meeting Thursday night, and after the
transaction of other business, gave express
sion to their just indignation at the GU rae
perpetrated upon their Grant and Wilson
flag by some miscreant Wednesday night.
Resolutions denouncing the mean act in un-
measured terms were passed, and a deter
mination expressed to cause the proper
punishment of the offender, if he can be
discovered. Yesterday the pole was success
fully climbed, and the flag nailed thereto,
and it is to be hoped that it will not be
further molested. The pole stands in the
courthouse green, within a few yards of
the Greeley and Brown pole. The latter
has never yet been interferred with, and
never will be by any one belonging to the
Republican party.

THE BEST RAT-lRAP WE EVER SAW.
Mr.. G.. r. Harding, of Manchester, exhib-
tied to US to-day the best rat-trap we ever
saw. 1t was invented by him, has been
patented, and is being largely manufactured
by a firm in New York city, with whom he
has made a favorable contract. The trap
is automatic, or self-adjusting, and is calcu-
lated to deceive the oldest rat in America.
The trap shown us to-day by Mr.. Harding
contained nine full-grown mice, eight of
which were foolish enough to enter it last
night, in the vain endeavor to capture
a small bit of meat, securely fastened on a
wire. Two sizes of the trap are manufac-
tured, one for rats and the other for mice.
As it is a home invention. and is open for
inspection at Noting & Bros, in this city,
who are the sole agents in Virginia, we
shall not attempt a minute description, but
advise all who are annoyed by rats and
mice to call and examine it. We think it
settles the rat question.

THE SLAVE TRADE STILL KEPT up
The English Anti-Slavery Society gives a
inevitable account of the present condition
of the slave trade on the eastern coast of
Africa. According to this statement at
least 100. 900 natives are yearly dragged
away from their homes, so out of every
100 of whom perish on the way from ex-
haustion or violence. The squadron which
Great Britain is maintaining on the coast,
at a yearly cost of e200, 900, has proved a
remedy worse than the disease +; the officers
and men of the cruisers themselves being in
the habit of perpetrating the very horrors
they are sent to discover and prevent.

THE exhibition of a remarkable fine class
of blooded stock in the California State
Far, is suggestive Of the remarkable change
that has taken place in the agriculture of
that State. The old wasteful system of
vast droves of cattle roaming over unfenced
pastures, and liable to be destroyed by the
extremes of drought and food, has given
way to the improved plan of more careful
housing and selection. The fact also that
the pioneers of the new system are all
growing rich, while the adherents of the
old plan are rapidly drifting into bank
ruptcy, may be regarded as significant Of
the future, when the raising of a few head
of choice stock for work and slaughter, for
dairy products aud wool, in small fields
kept we'll grassed, will be a part of every
intelligent farmers business, and go far to
increase and make certain his profits.
