FRAUDS on THE BALLOT.BOX.

We are not in the habit of complaining
of fraud at elections, but the frauds prac-
ticed on the ballot-box at the recent elec-
ton are so notorious, that general COM
plant is coming up from all parts Of the
State. The system practiced at one of the
polls in Anne Arundel county is described
by correspondent in the american. The
defeated candidates in that county have
determined to contest the election. Testi-
mony is now being taken to be used at the
proper time. The correspondent above
referred to says:
cit was evident to me, shortly after the
polls opened, that the Judge receiving the
ballots was changing many of them.
called the attention of friends to this, who
at once agreed with me. l went to Mr..
Webb zone Of the Judges and asked to be
allowed to be in the room. This was re-
fused, and l then stated to him that
believed the Judge, Robert Perry, was
changing the vote; told him how, and he
showed confusion. l demanded that the
ballots be kept in view. He promised
change, but it still continued at intervals.
The manner can be but poorly described

by some of our best citizens who saw the
outrage. The window.sill was five and
ahalf feet from the ground, so that the
average voter had to be tip-toe to see fairly
on the level of the sill. The window was
planked across from above downward, leav-
ing open only twelve or twelve and ahalf
inches, SO that it was impossible to see
what was going on in the room, except as
to the movements of the upper part of the
person of the Judge at the window. He
sat with his left arm to the window. If a
white voter offered his ballot, it was re-
ceived by his left hand, compressed upon
the window-sill, and in every instance
passed directly to the ballot box, which was
in view; but in cery many instances, if the
voter was colored man, the ballot was
taken in the left hand, the hand lomered
out Of sight Impossible to be seen by the
voter or any one else), and the ticket not
in view; the Judge apparently holding it
in his left hand, whilst the name of the
voter was being looked for; the name
found, the receiving Judge brought over
his right hand, a ticket being seen in it,
which ticket was deposited in the ballot
box. THIS aeas done many scores Of times.
We made notices as to some voters thus
served, so that we can swear to individual
votes" "Ha6 there been fair vote, the
Fusion ticket would have had a majority
of fifty Or seventy-tive in the district, and
it is plain that it is now shameful fraud.

EQUALIZATION Through the kind
ness Of our efficient County Clerk, Mr..
A. NJ. Richter. we are enabled to lay
before our readers the complete state
ment of valuation, assessment and equali-
ration of The several towns together
7Eith the State and County taxes for the
present year. Our city readers will
police with sorrow that the assessment
of the City of Manitowoc has been ,qual-
ized to nearly double the amount of the
assessment, which. as we all know, was
up to the full value of the property, and
we think We have just cause 10 ask
our four city representatives in the Board
of County Supervisors, how it was posi-.
BILE that they could allow such an enor-
nous inerease in the valuation of the
city property. while our town, represent
ed by but one msn-Mr. j. Fiiegler-
had its valuation considerably reduced,
although the original assessment of the
town property was no higher, compare
lively, than that of our city.

FIRE ALARM Friday evening
about 10 O clock we were again called by
the bells ringing the fire alarm. We
could not ascertain for some time where
the fire was, seeing no fame, but soon
learned by following the good old Badger
Engine, which was hauled to the Oriental
Mill by a lot of vigorous volunteers !;
there we saw at the rear of the mill a
small shed in full blaze, which,. however,
was quickly extinguished. On inquiry,
we were Informed that the fire was the
work of an LEGENDARY, who bad placed a
CEDAR post soaked in kerosene, inside of
the shed and then set fire to it. The
mill and surroundings belong to Messrs.
John Schuette 4 Bro. who By their uni
formly faif and gertiemanly dealings
with all, are certainly the. last men who
could deserve such contemplate. rasealy
revenge. The crime must rather have
been caused by some >coundref with the
prospect of stealing in case ola conaa-
grafton, Which is slrdser~aily carried on
here On such occa~ions and from which
Messrs. Sci1petee have already suffered
severely within the present year.

1t is really to be pttied that


our German friends and especially the
German Republicans Of this city and
county have not better organ than the
Zeitang. Since the loss of its late editor,
MIR. Tremel, who Tell victim to the
same curse of society which its present
editor Is SO anxious to uphold. and es-
peclally since the latter was called to
take charge of it, the Zeitung has degen-
Grated from the NOBLE stand of an un-
compromising Republican newspaper to a
mongrel sheet with out principles, its
editor not even publishing the Repubii
can ticket at the head OF its columns, but
instead attending as delegate all con-
rentions called together for the purpose
of defeating the Republican ticket and
writing his articles in correspondence
with his actions. Still he claims to be a
Republican, although the editor of the
No:d Westen, whom he proposed to
swallow whole when he came here, now
calls him bis fright bower and more
useful to the Democratic party thai. re
himself ever was or tried to be.
wv say ii is to he pitied, because an
organ like the Zeitung does harm to the
party aud specially here, where this
party is composed of elements of differ
ent views in regard to questions of minor
Importance. as is the case in our city and
county,"
