The Gazette is reduced to amentable shifts to
establish its outlandish charge about "Philadel-
phia repeaters" being imported, in 1870. In-
stead of proving that, it goes on to declare that
two citizens heard Marshal Dunn say he had
some men here whom he proposed to constitute
deputies but adds that it was Uniformed" that
some OF them were sent to Appoquinimink Hun.
dred to destroy the ballot boxes and break up
the election.
These are big patches of falsehood mixed with
shreds OF truth. Marshal Dunn, as we under
stood at the time, did appoint deputies as it was
his duty to do Even then, hundreds of colored
men were intimidated, and forced away from the
polls, with the most outrageous violence. But
that any of these deputies were sent anywher ,
with the object alleged, is lie which ought to
choke the Gazette, and no doubt would if its
throat were not used to such passengers.

F,.e,,0u violence in Peupsylvnr ia.


The Republican Committee OF Luzerne coun-
ty have issued stirring address, urging the
people to come forward, again, on the 9th OF
November, notwithstanding the violence and
fraud employed in the interest Of the Democrat
ic candidates, at the October election. The ad-
dress recites significant facts in relation to the
vote Of the city of Scranton. In four precincts
where the registry showed only about 800 voters
Democratic majority of more than 1900 was
returned! the Supervisors of the election
duly appointed by the Court, were aasailed and
driven from their seats at the election boards,
in order that this outrageous fraud might be
accomplished.
The attempt was to roll up prodigious major
ity for Buckalew, and to defeat Hon. l.. d
Shoemaker for Congress. Mr.. Shoemaker is thu
present member and an efficient energetic rep
resentative. Fortunately his popularity was II
great, and the vigilance of the Republicans 81
well maintained, that outside of Scranton, fraud
on so great scale were not practicable, and h,
is again elected, while the majority for BuckaleV
was kept very near honest limits.
But in the face OF such frauds as these, tn
outrages in Georgia. and the ballot box stuifini
in Indiana, how can the Greeleyitee have tin
cheek to accuse the Republicans Of offending
against the purity Of election?

The Forest Fires.

A correspondent of the Newburg
Journal tells the following story of fight
ing fire at Pine Bush, Ulster county
New York:
On Tuesday. May I, at about three
o'clock in the afternoon, a small fire
was discovered running back Of the Pine
Ridge, near the Crawford leather fac
tory. Not much attention being paid to
it then, it rapidly spread, until it soon
covered the whole ridge. At night il
presented one Of the grandest scenes
that has been seen here in years. L
About ten o'clock at night it formed a
line Of over two miles in length. Though
it was q spectacle OF rare beauty and
grandeur, yet il was an alarming sight
to the old residents below-those who
understood fighting mountain fires II
continued TO rage all night. lighting up
the streets below as bright almost as day.
In the morning doubts were enter
tanned as to the safety Of John X. Ran
sens house and barns. The people were
called out 10 back FIRE aud save his
buildings. and keep the fire from doing
more damage, if possible Men and
boys came from all directions with pals,
and soon q new line Of Ere was started

The Ticnborne claimant.

The release from prison of the Tieh-
borne claimant on bail was the occasion
of a scene which proved that the suppo-
sitious Sir Roger has many firm sup
porters among the populace, as well as
some adherents who occupy prominent
station in society. On the day when he
was to be released many thousand per-
sons assembled in front of the prison and
waited anxiously for some hours in the
hope Of catching glimpse Of his burly
form when he should emerge from the
walls of Newgate. The respectable gen
tlemen who entered into recognizanees
for his appearance we're received with
tumultuous cheers on their arrival,
though the mob did not know who they
we're. The supposition that they had
some connection with the claimants
case was sufficient to arouse the enthu-
siasm of the multitude. One Of these
gentlemen, who was tall and portly, was
mistaken for a relation Of Sir Roger"
and received an especial ovation as he
descended from his carriage. In order
to avoid the crowd it was determined,
after q long delay, TO allow the claimant
to leave the prison by means Of an un-
dergrouud passage leading to the dock
Of the Old Bailey, and thence into the
street through the main entrance Of the
courts. But several hundred people had
caught wind Of the stratagem, were at
the Old Bailey entrance to receive Sir
Roger, y and followed his carriage with
cheers as'he drove away. Ii is said that
a gentleman living at southampton Of
fered to send up a carriage aud four
grAys TO convey the claimant from New
gate, an offer which was declined.

A Remarkable voyage.

From the New York Bulletin .s.ttf
The brig Abbie Clifford, of Stockton
Maine, which left Pernambuco March
~ with cargo Of sugar, to James E.
Ward & Co., arrived at this port late
Sunday afternoon. Before leaving port
the steward, j. G. Fay, died of yellow
fever, and on the second day out the dis
ease broke out among the crew on board.
Three of the sailors, and also Allen
Smith, the mate, died within few days.
Captain Clifford and bis wife and others
were attacked, but with the exception oi
the captain they recovered. Since the
death of her husband and the mate,
Mrs. Clifford has navigated the vessel,
and succeeded in bringing her safely
into port. Captain Clifford was thirty
seven years old, and native Of Stock
ton, Maine; Allen Smith thirty-one
years, and a native of Steep Falls,
Maine The Abbie Clifford had fine
weather up to Hatteras; thence five
days with heavy gales from the north
west. The sails were split and conside
rabls damage was done the bulwarks,

seamanship Of the lady captain, the yes

Justin McCarthy's Letter to the N. Y. MALL
The Queen has gone to-day to pay a
visit to the Emperor Napoleon at Chisel-
hurst. Meanwhile, distinguished con
neetion of his Imperial Majesty has
opened a dressmakers' shop in New
Bond street, London The Princess
Pierre-Napoleon Bonaparte announces
to the nobility and gentry" Of England
that she has started an establishment for
superior and dstingue dressmaking"
that she has the latest fashions and
novelties from Paris, and that IAN

is the wife of that Corsican Mauprat

journalist preluded the fall of the EN-
pire, as that Of the Duehesse de Praslin
did the fall Of Louis Philippe's mon
arohy, Pierre could not obtain permis-
sion from the Emperor to marry the
lady, so he married her without permis-
sion. / remember the correspondence
which took place between the two illus
trious cousins on the subject, and which
was found in the Tuileries after the
crash of Sedan. Pierre begged to be al
lowed to marry the lady Of his choice,
because-I desire to put it very modest
ly-because, although he stated with
touching simplicity be had not origi-
naliy contemplated a matrimonial
bond, yet he was now anxious to make
his children legitimate. The Emperor
would not hear Of such a thing. s'When
a man has the honor of bearing such a
name as yours" he writes, there are
proprieties which ones bound TO re-

new FIRE kindled from this. 1t was
soon discovered that new line Of battle
would have TO be drawn up, and accord
ingly it was done, with like results
Then another line was drawn a long an
other brook, but the flames soon found
the dry leaves on the other side Then
as Mr.. Ransen's building gs were in great
danger, the men were very active. One
man stood in the brook, and from him
there was formed a line Of men around
the fire; pals Of water were passed from
the first man to the second, and so on up
a large bank and around the whole line,
and as the empty pals were returned
they were tossed and caught the distance
Of twenty feet. 1t was a grand sight to
see these men trying to control the mad,
raging flames; but while they succeeded
in quenching the flames here they broke
over in a piece Of timber above, and
were soon creeping to the top of the
mountains, and it was not until Thurs
day that the fire was stopped gag
This was the largest fire that has
been here in ten years. The smoke
settled in the valley below so as to fill
the houses and make it very uncom-

used as a judicious tariff, a tax affordine

The issue, therefore, lost none of its inn

test between the big letter G and the

Greeley has been an unselfsh, charit-

has ripened into one period All parts
Of the country appreciate him, and his

lasting peace. / believe that, if the issue
be made personal and put on the ground
Of character, Grant will be Kissed out of
the field. The Democratic party is re-
gaining the confidence Of timid men in
the North by lis good behavior. The
South has gone far to satisfy apprehen-
sions in the North by its magnanimity
toward Greeley. Nobody could ever
