The Radicals of this district say they
can elect COL OFerrall over Judge
Harris, the regular democratic nominee.
If Col. 0'Ferrall gets fifty votes in
Shenandoah outside of the Radical party.
we will be very much surprised. The
entire democratic party of the district
should concentrate their vote upon Judge
Harris who has proved himself one of the
best representatives of the Southern peo-
pie. judge Harris has not for years re
ceived a very fattering vote at the
Woodstock precincts. bat at this election
he will receive almost the entire demo-
cratic vote. At the last election we did
not vote for him; but at the present cleo
ton, we take pleasure in voting and work
ing fos him, rs the representative of the
democratic party and one who will faith
fully and honestly represent our people
The policy Of the radicals has been
that united minority was better than q
divi ded majority. Let us teach item at
this election, that they must fight unit
ed majority who are willing tothrow
aside private prejudices and vote for the
good Of our country. Judge Harris
has received the nomination by the
unanimous vote of the convention The
only reason why he was nominatedby so
fattering a vote was that he was be-
lieved to be tho choice OF the peopl G.
La this The convention was not mistaken
LET us give him as urge a majority as
possible. Shenandoah can and will give
him a larger majority than he has ever
received hereto fore

THE NORTHWEST ALIVE.

Correspondent ofthe New York Sun.
CHICAGO, October 5,-The Liberals
confidently expect 10 carry Wisconsin -
That is asbold hope, but they have good:
reason for it In the first place they have
only 40. 900 majority to overcome over
last-5ear's vote. Secondly, Wisconsin
has the largest proportionate German
population Of any in the Union; and
thirdly, thefe is large Liberal element
III that State among the prominent men Of
all uationaliiies. Mons. Anderson, the
weal,hiest and most popular Swede in the
State, is one Of the Greeley electors, AMI
he has large following among his OWL
countrymen.
THE GERMANS SOLID FOR GREELEY.
Milwaukee has a clear majority ofGer
man voters. and they arc almost solid for
Greeley. The exceptions are just
numerous enough to prove the rule -
About one-third of'them have heretofore
been Republicans. Three German
newspapers are published in that city, all
ofwhich support Greeley. In Wankesha
county. just west of Milwaukee, there is
also large German elementand large
Liberal element. In that county are q
number OF watering places and Summer
resorts. much frequentea by Souherners,
and also by people from all parts Of the
West. 1t has consequently been pretty
thoroughly canyassed, as far as speaking
is concerned, for whenever a p rominen
man of either party heaves in sight he is
at once run down, captured, and forced to
make speech That is his initiation
fee, which must be paid before he can
rest in peace in that community OF
| course the Liberals have had the best of
the discussion there, as everywhere else
for their cause gives them that; but they
made such inroads upon the Grant party
that the latter became alarmed, aud Howe
aud Carpenter were rallied to the rescue.
Howe is candidate 70: reelection, and
is doing his very best. but that is not
very good, and be does not draw large
crowds What Howe knows about white
washing the New York Custom House
has materially damaged him Before that
in famous transaction he bore the reputa-
tion of an honest man, but of course that
ruined his character. and his friends
merely attenpt to conceal during the
canvass the contempt which they feel
Even should the GRANTEES succeed, his
reelection would be doubtful. That is
a doubt thin doubt. How singular
aud how deplorablc it is that man like
Senator Howe, who for more than thirty
years has enjoyed the confidence OF the
community in which he lived. should, in
the decline of life, when age il creeping
upon him. by his own act ignite the blaze
OF just censure which must consume the
repu tation he has so long enjoyed.

ANDoAH HERALD AND VALLEY ADVERTISER

A NOVEL LEGAL QUESTION IN VIZ
GINA. - a correspondent Of. the Fred
ericksburg Va. Herald, writing from
Leesourg, Va. says:
1--WE have move question under dis
cusson, WHICH will affect al. Of cur cities,
viz: Whether corporation, such as a
city or town, can subscribe. either by
act of council or by a vote of the people

our citizens intend to contest their right
upon legal grounds.
The correspondent adds that sin the
constitution. article 10, sections II, u.
10 and IA. you will find general pro-
hibition against such subscriptions BY the
State. How is it that the State, which
is the creator of courts aud counties,
cannot make and enforce }oan Of this
sort, can the creature of the State do it
The taxing power is derived from The

From every section of the country the
most encouraging advices arc received -
The Liberals of Ohio are confident of
carrying the State at the November cleo
ton. The moral effect of the Pennsyl-
vania election has been killed by the
prompt exposure Of the fraud by which it
was gained. The radicals are now de-
turmined to make a desperate effort to
carry Virginia. Senator Lewis and Col.
Mosby have assured Grant that be would
carry the State. Some of the moro san
guine radicals profess to believe that they
can carry Shenandoah. If they can. it
will be because the democrats do not
vote. We can not believe tina. such will
be the case. We have not one vote to
spare. Let every one who can bring out
srvOter, exert himself and Virginia will
be safe.

seemed confident shat the reserve Demo-
cratic and Liberal vote of the State
could be btought to the polls, and would
be sufficient to blot the October majority
against them.
The official vote of eighty counties,
and the reported vote OF the remaining
eight counties of Ohio, show majority
for the Grant candidate for Secretary OF
State of 2,961. The Administration
majority on supreme Judge is about
5000 less.

MR. VOORHEES, ON lis DEFEAT

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, under date of the
10th Instant, telegraphs to that journal
as follows: a letter received IN this city
to-day from Voorhees,. dated at Terre
Haute. October "A, says that he does not
regret his defeat for Congress, but is glad
! to be RENTED to the practice Of his pro-
fession, which is more congenal and
| lucrative. As to the causes OF his defeat,
Mr. Voorhees, says he foresaw it when he
said the Democrats could not organize in
the short time given them before the
election, and thar it was simply the stay,
at-home vote in his party that beat him
and hurt the cause everywhere. Nobody
thought thofe was a possibility of his de-
feat. and over confidence led hundreds to
stay away from the polls. He writes as
follows in regard to the Liberal move
ment:
A word or two now about the move
rnent itself. Its right in it's principles
and Objects movement designed to re-
store self-government to the people Of
the South and to relieve them from
thieves and pirates; to bring about
general amnesty, peace, and reconciliation
between the sections; to purify the de-
partments Of the Government now infest-
ed by plundering rings engaged in the
civil service of the country;; movement,
| say, contemplating such results as
these cannot fail to enlist my jealous and
unfalteripg support. Allow me to say
word also on another point. Mr.. Gree
ley has personally raised himself in this
canvass a thousand fold in my estimation
His course bias been all that could be
desired, and believe he would, if elected
be perfectly true to the purposes he has
SO grandly proclaimed in his unrivallcd
addresses to the public Ishall vote for
him in November, not only unhcsitatiug-
ly, but with pleasure, as man who has
established his claims to my admiration !,
notwithstanding my strong previous pre-
jndices.

The resu 1t of the election in Pennsyl

The result of the election in Pennsyl-
vania, it is now clearly established, was
brought about by the most unprecedented
and horrible frauds that have ever been
perpetrated upon free people The les
son OF that day is one which causes
sadness to every true lover Of liberty.
AT first it was supposed that these frauds
were confined to Philadelphia but ii YES
tigation since the election prove that be
sides fifteen thousand fraudulent votes
cast ia Philadel phia, the result of
the elections in many other places was
changed by stuffing ballot boxes and by
other fraudulent acts. Even after the
voting had ceased and the returns we're
made up they were changed by radical
officials. Democrats who protested against
illegal voting were arrested for violation
ofibe peace. The question has been
asked, "why is it we do not hear of frauds
of this kind in Virginia p Because the
Democrats have control of the state. But
let the con troll pass into the hands 81 the
radicals and they will keep it. Fraudu-
lent voting, arrest of Democrats, military
power. public funds and ku-klux laws
will all be brought into requisition. in
order to depriyea free people of their
liberty. Men who have enjoyed the con-
fdence of our people will be bribed, and
every effort will be made to hum iliate
the proud old common wealth of Virginia.
We earnestly appeal to our people to look
at the fate of Pennsy lvania The power
placed in the hands of man who does
not enjoy the public confidence, the whole
strength of the adm in istration excrted to
control the choice Of officers in free
state. Are our people willing to submit
to such outrages? Are you willing that
the present radio administration shali
dictate to you who shall be your Govern
or, your state officers aud even your coun-
ty officers. Are you willing to be ar
rested and required to give bail or 60 to
prison because Tou see proper to protest
against illegal voting? Such things you
must expect. fyou permit the radical
party to get the control in Virginia. The
election of Horace Greeley will over
throw this corrupt party. Will you not
aid in the good work? D. everything
IL your power. to bring out the couserva-
tive vote. Let them see that Shenan-
doah cannot be bought; that the radical
party cannot steal enough Of N 9ney from
the national easury to buy the liberties
of free born people. Let Us work to-
gether. the time for sdisunion in our
ranks has passed. The invasion of our
State has begun. From this time to the
day of election, northern radicals ass listed
by native Office holders will traverse every
section % the state, iting the negro ele-
ment against the white. and endeavoring
to degrade the free white people of Vir-
gina. The opportunity is ow presented
Let rs strike blow which will forever de-
feat the corrupt party which is now suck
ing the very life blood If the nation. Ac-
tion, prompt and energetic, will save the
country. Let no one hesitate

To the Editor Of The Nsw York Tribune:
Sir,-We have been defeated, ard
that defeat is more glory for us than for
the friends of General Hartranft aud u
S. Grant The following is ouly small
specimen of the fraud accomplished in
the recent election:
TO the Rcforns association Of the City
Of Philadelphia:
Gents,-In the official count of vot ties
FOR Governor in the Fittheenth Ward it is
represented that the vote for Governor
was as follows: Hartranft. 1880; Bucka-
lew, 1893 Majority 1887.
The undersigned, judges Of election,
signed no such return. and will be
qualified that tie true vote for Governor
was as follows, they having -gned the
same: Hartrauft, 4 800; Buckalew. 2 993.
Majority, 1897.
BY exposing The above fraud you will
oblge the friends OF reform in the Fit
tecpth " ard aud shcw how our return
election judges alter the returns to suit
their own partisan way OF fixing up eles-
ton returns.
Respectfully yours.

Philadelphia, October II, 1872.
The Fifteenth Ward pol.ed the largest
vote for the Reform candidates. and
cheating was with difficulty INDUCED in,
still there was difference OF 200 votes
If 200 hundred votes were counted more
than polled in each ward, in. the twenty
nine wards of the city we have $500
fraudulent votes | venture to state that
the Nineteenth Ward, which now is the
champion fraud ward IAN honor former
ly held by the Fourth), polled fully 1,
500 fraudulent votes; tho Twentieth, 500;
the Tenth. 500; the Fifth, 500; the
Fourth, (sold out to Hartranft,E the Six
teen,lI, where the 10 40 gang resides,
fully 500; tie Seventeenth the same. etc /,
etc. The fraudulent vo es and false |
counts in the city OF "B ro.herly Love"
amounted to fully $4,000 votes. We
have some 400 precincts-a false 'unt
in each Of forty votes makes Is 600
fraudulent votes. I have nowledge of
ten friends whose names had been voted
upon before they came to the polls. Sail
there is no redress. | do not believe that
this city will give Grant the majority tina;
Hartranft was ''tixeGo Tor. The Nation
al Committee should keep an eye On New
Jersey, as our Cameronians, the Burnses,
