Veracity Of the Tribune.

E. A. Rollins, who recently resigned the
Craftsmanship of the Grant Executive State
Committee of New Hampshire, has come out
In favor of Greeley and Brown, and has writ
ten long letter giving his reasons therefor
lWdsh'ngfon correspondence Of the Tribune.
e; A. Rollins, who has just resigned the
Craftsmanship of the Grant Republican State
Committee in New Hampshire, and declared
for Greeley and Brown. is one of the shrewdest
politicians and most successful organizers the
state has ever known.-[ Editorial IN Tribune
of Saturday.
In the course of a letter resigning the Chair
marship of the Republican State Committee,
Mr.. Rollins says:
:, While doing this am happy to congratulate
the Committee upon the union and harmony
that prevails in the Republican party through
out the State. Our overwhelming victory in
March last, and the united front which We now
present to the enemy we have fought and de-
feated in twenty campaigns, render certain a
complete triumph in November over the mon
grel forces marshaled under the leadership of
Greeley and Brown, and the emphatic endorse
ment by the Granite State of President Grant
and that self-made son of New Hampshire,
Henry Wilson.
All lying is wicked and in a certain sense bad
policy; but this silly lying of the Tribun. is

Yesterday was q day which filled the hearts
OF our Republicans with pride, as well it might.
With the exception of circus day, our streets
have not presented so lively q scene for years as
was witnessed. The occasion referred to was q
Republican County Convention and mass meet
ing,and it was estimated that nearly 5000 people
were out.
The forenoon was occupied in making nom-
nations for county officers, and it was said that
more harmonious convention in every respect
never was seen. The old board, or nearly all,
were re-nominated. ( --...
The New Vineyard Brass Band was engaged
to furnish music. At about II a. m. they made
their appearance ON the street, appearing for
the first time in very pretty new uniform,
and discoursed some fine music In fact, had
their caps been surmounted with the red and
white cockade, instead of a red one, we should
have called them the French band
Promptly at p. m. the speakers and dele
gates, escorted by the band, paraded through
Main street to the common, where stirring and
to-the-point speeches were made by Governor
Noyes of Ohio, and Hon. VIM. P. Frye En-
thusiasm was apparent in abundance, being
manifested by repeated rounds of applause,
when speaker would "get point on EN-
The meeting broke up about O clock with three
rousing cheers, the band playing 'our'' favor

The campaign is fairly open, and VIC may
safely state that, after good share of observat
ton, we know of two Republicans who have lef-
the party for reasons obvious: s. P. Morrill,, ex-

Applied for another position through his father,
we understand, and was refused, for reasons
known to Grant, probably.
Hon. II. Belcher, concerning whom stories
are conflicting; but we have hoard from good
authority that he will vote for Grant We have
heard of no more Republicans who will support
Greeley; but we have talked with several Dem
ocrats, who have always voted at elections, say
they shall not vote this year, thereby reducing
the small number which they throw in this
town.

The Chicago Tribune, (Greeley-Dem.) styles
the old soldiers who propose to hold Con-
vention next month in Pittsburg, Pa, "Sup-
erfuous veterans" having no right toexpress
political opinions. We shall see.
A crowd of roughs and Greeley boys in
Bangor so disturbed the evening meeting
Friday, that Mr.. Peters was compelled to stop
speaking for time. 1t is said that the riot
Gus proceeding were instigated by certain
Democratic leaders. .-
Gen. Hall, in his speech at Lancaster Hall,
said that in his town names were obtained TO
the anti-Blaine convention call, by represen-
tations that it was petition for the removal
of the Superintendent of schools!
Ten years ago, Mr.. Greeley called Fernando
Wood ga crop-eared rascal, who had a single
eye on the ship Mdrvin." Now Wood says
that Greeley is an honest man. Fernando
ought to know.
An enthusiastic Grant meeting was held at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, on Saturday last. Many
prominent Republicans addressed the meet
ing, and the miners were hearty and honest
in their endorsement.
The N. Y. Commercial says, the seedy-
looking chaps, who hang around Greeley's
headquarters at the Glenham Hotel, remind
us of the Yankee, who had 'five outs and
one in": Out of money, out of character out
at the heels, out at the toes, out of credit and
in debt. tGHtDE D10lLW
Governor Jewell says that the Greeley de-
lection in Connecticut is like the ignis fdttus
you chase it up and it disappears. 1t is like
the stories of ague-none here, but they have
it in the next town. The only deserters are
ex-office holders and unappreciated Office
seekers. That's the kind in nine cases out
of ten.

COLLISION IN NARRAGANsETT BAY,-The
Steamer Bristol Beached.-The steamer Bristol
of the Fall River and New York line, ran into
a barquo when approaching Newport at an ear
ly hour Saturday morning. Subsequently,
while lying at the pier in Newport, bad leak
was discovered BY. the officers, but it was not
considered serious enough to warrant delay
in proceeding up the bay to Fall River. When
within four miles of her destination, however,
the leak assumed such proportions that the cap
tain deemed it advisable to beach the beat,
which was accordingly done, and she lies ashore
at Coal Mine Flats, the passengeIs-eight hun
dred in Misunderstanding been taken off by the
steamer Canonicus, which came down from
Fall River in response to a message for aid.
There were no casualties. 1t is not supposed
the injury to the steamer is of serious nature
pair will be of long continuance.
When the Bristol left New York she was
crowded with passengers Every stateroom
andlberth were occupied, and large number
of cots were made up in the saloons. Five
hundred passengers left the steamer at New
port.
The barqus Bessie Rogers, from Dublin for
Provincetown, with railroad iron, was at anchor
when struck, and Immediately sunk, though
the crew..was saved. The barque had lights
displayed but the night was very thick. All
OF the crew, fifteen in number, escaped to the
steamer, the barque sinking in five minutes

The PARTY Of Fraud.

In the bitterness of their defeat in North
Carolina-all the bitterer and more mortify-
ing because it comes after supposed victory
the Greeley Democracy raise the cry of fraud
1t is the last party that should ever raise
that cry. In relation to North Carolina the
agents of the Democratic leaders deliberate
ly sent false dispatches over the country
knowing them to be so-manufacturing sto-
ries of great gains and large majorites with
out having heard word from these locali-
ties-even before the votes we're counted.
When returns began to be received those ia
vorable to the Republicans were suppressed
or made to appear Insignificant and those of
an unfavorable character were so multiplied
and magnifed as to appear crushing. These
are the facts and the par ty that practices such
stupendous frauds should be about the last to
cry out when they fur nish the most conclu-
sive proof against thems elves.
We will remind our enraged and mortified
friends that the party of ballot box frauds is
the Democratic party whose candidate for the
Presidency, Mr.. Horace Greeley says: ''The
vote of New York was stolen from General
Grant by the foulest, most audacious conspr-
acy and gigantic fraud. She was carried for
Seymour and Hoffman by crimes that ought
to fill fifty State Prisons to overfowing''
This we repeat, was said of the Democratic
party by its own candidate. The party
whose own nominee thus brands it nf fral.a,r
and whose history for twenty years has been
made infamoussby its outrages on the ballot
box in New York, Kansas, and in voting the
late rebel States out of the Union-a party
who by its brutal terrorism in the South for a
generation made it impossible to vote against
slavery and has made it worse than useless to
vote against its candidates in New York City
is not exactly the party to denounce frauds
The Democratic leaders, after sending their
State prison agents, skillfully learned in the
rascalties and ruffianism of Tammany out
rage upon the ballot box, to North Carolina
to practice their villainy are fine gentlemen
to cry out fraud!
The cry of fraud is the howl of defeated
and chop-fallen enemy, who counted on an
intimidation, challenging, and Tammany
practises to defeat the will of the Republican
majority in North Carolina. Had it not been
for these agencies and a complicated system
of ballot boxes to perplex the freedman, our
majority in North Carolina would have been
ten thousand Remember, gentlemen, that
the party in this country that is everywhere
on record against a rigorous registration law
and the purity of the ballot is the DEMOCRAT
&c PARTY and no other

ANOTHER OF THE TWICE Or THRICE REPEAT
ED MISREPRESENTATION ExPLoDED.-ltw would
seem as if, for some unaceountable reason, SEN
ator Sumner had become incapable of stating
things correctly or utterly indisposed to find the
truth when right at his elbow. The following
entirely refutes one of his allegations, already
twice contradicted by Douglass himself:
The Albany Evening Journal Friday pub
lished long letter from Hon. Andrew d. White,
who was one of the San Domingo commission
corning the ill-treatment of Frederick Douglass.
Mr.. White goes on to show that Douglass was
well provided for on the steamer, and was treat
ed in all respects as well as the best during the
stay of the commission at the San Domingo
capital. Douglass lived at their house and sat
at their table.
After landing at Charleston this treatment
continued. When they were embarked upon
the Potomac steamer, the commissioners, hav-
ing seating themselves at the public table, found
that Douglass was not with them. On inquiry,
they learned that he had been refused admit
lance to the dining room on account of his
color Having demonstrated against this in
vain, the commissioners and all Immediately
connected with them left the table, On arriv-
ing in Washington both Douglass and Sigsl left
for their homes, their duties having ended. 1t
was then that the commission were invited to
dine with the President, and had Douglass and
Sigel been in the city Mr.. White has no doubt
they would been included in the invitation.
Mr.. White expresses great surprise that Mr..
Sumner should have perverted the facts in the
case, as he thinks, so grossly
