The HerLegoyinian bill Of particulars
seems to make out case for resistance TO the
Turkish government. Some Of the grieyan-
ces laid before the Consular COMMISSION by
the insurgents are As follows
First. The Christian IS compelled to give
halt of the proceeds Of his farm to the Aga,
and entertain han and his horses four times
year
Second. In the Turkish empire, larm' are
letat fixed rate, but the owner. 10 col
fusion with the officials, exacts ten times the
amount.
Third. The farmers mast also pay per
sonal and military taxes.
Fourth Christians are forced BY fraud to
pay the whole import on cattle, while the
Turks 90 free. ..
Fifth. In an appeal Tor justice against II
Turk, Christian must have two Turks for
witnesses, " he Is defeated and thrown into
prison.
Sixth The links violently carry OF the
wives and daughters of Christians, and force
them to become Moslems.
Seventh. If Christian testifes against
Turk he can only expect % live three
days.
Eighth. The Turks abhor and insult the
priests and churches OF the Christians.
Ninth. The Sultan provides no schools for
Christians, and who ever demands them
loses his head.
Tenth. The Christian farmers are com
PEELED to repair the routes of the Sultan,
while he Turks let free.
Eleventh. Christians are often compelled
to furnish men and horses to transport mill
tary supplies, without pay.
There are nine other complaints, 10 the

We condense, in another column, from
fuller report which has been furnished to
US. report of the proceedings OF the late
meeting of the State Board of Agriculture,
in this city. giving all the material proceed
ings and only emitting an abstract oil the
discussion, which, the meeting not being
public one, can perhaps hardly be consld-
cred as public property. We are sorry that
some arrangement could not have been made
by which the Board might retain the ser
vices Of Professor Collier, as Secretary. lie
has labored in its service, with an earnest
ness and ability to which We have often
borne testimony, till failing health warned
him that he was over-taxing his powers
and without any disparagement of the mer-
its of his successor, it is to be regretted that
he could not continue the work which he
has largely planned But the University,
having relinquished Professor Collier to the
work Of the Board for four or five years and
borne the expense of providing substitutes
in his department, cannot be blamed if they
felt the imperative necessity Of now retain
ing more of his time and labor for his own
Chair Of Chemistry, which greatly needs his
more constant presence. The offer made on
the part of the University to relinquish
Professor Collier for time enough to enable
him to hold ten meetings, which, We believe,
is more than the Board has ever held in one
year, was certainly liberal one and was
doubtless SO considered BY the members OF
the Board but their plans involve, we be
lieve. much larger number of meetings ,
and with the kindest expressions toward
Professor Collier, and with excellent feeling
toward the University, they felt compelled to
elect new Secretary. Professor Seely is a
gentleman Of high capacity and industry,
already somewhat familiar with the work of
the Board having attended and read papers at
several of its meetings and we doubt not
that he will make an excellent Secretary.

until the official returns. are received By

majority in the state to be 4,75S. Official

three majority certlinly-and possibly four
majority-in the senate. The balance Ot

The facts in the matter OF the attempted
Democratic election frauds in Wood county
Ohio, alluded to by telegraph, are thus more
fully related
A telegram from f. 5. Dodds, who figures
a Gas Commissioner by appointment from
Gov Allen, was directed to Thompson
Chairman Democratic Committee, saying
Would ]. 900 majority in Wood County
help Us ont - This telegram fell into the
hands OF Capt. Wykof, Chairman Of the
Republican Committee, and shortly after
ward he came into possession of Thompson :
answer at would do us much coed. -
Presently came news from Toledo that gross
frauds had been perpetrated in Wood COun-
ty, and an enormous vote-3 ,000-returned.
The Republicans in that district have been
advised OF these facts, and great interest at
taches to the result, which cannot be known
tonight. The real object of this Democratic
dodge is believed to be to secure two Senators
in the Lucas District, while pretending to
conoede qne to the Republicans. This would
give them one majority in the Senate, which
tries the contested elections of States officers.
Their next desperate move would be to get
Upa contest on account Of pretended frauds
and to install Allen and his ticket
The Republicans believe the discovery of
this fraud defeats it. 1t is noticeable that
all the largest gains for Allen are in eoun-
ties near the Indiana, Kentucky, and West
Virginia lines, and where help from Demo-
cratic sympathizers was abundant

\ good many Democrats, We perceive, are
getting what consolation they can out OF the
Ohio defeat. in the reflection that it has laid
" Bill" Allen on the shelf rs presidential
candidate. and cleared the road for the
nomination Of GOV. Tilden, of New York.
This is catching at the merest straw. 1t Is a
delusise hope Whether Iilden would be the
strongest candidate the Democracy could
pat up for President, We do not know. But
it is tolerably clear that his chances Of the
nomination have been lessened instead OF in
creased by the results of the October cleo
tons. The Western Democrats have been
fed un ,ophistries, till they believe in more
preenbacks as the cure all for poverty and
the hard times They lay their defeat in
Ohio, and the consequent abandonment oil
initiation as a Democratic war cry, which Is
sure to follow, largely to the rebuke admin
stered to them by Tiden in the New
York platform They vow that they will
remember him when the time comes and
they iriR. The next National Democratic
Convention viii not take up a man 50 OBJ
nozious personally to large section OF the
party The Democratic reverse in Ohio
has probably killed off both Allen and I'll
den. They may as well hang up their hats
and make up their plinds to the nomination
by the Democrats of some comparatively I'M
known man, such as were Polk and Pierce
when they were first placed on National
ticket.
