If the allegations are true which come from
Louisiana and South Carolina, that attempts
were made in those States to bribe Republican
electors to cast their votes for Tilden and
Hendricks, the circumstance is most disgrace
full to the party which sought to reap the bene-
fit of such acts of corruption and treachery
The reports received appear to be well sus-
tanned When the name of Mr. Levisee, the
Louisiana eleetor who was to be corrupted,
was called during the ballot, he arose and de-
clared in the presence of a room full of people
that he had been offered 100000 to give his
ballot to the Democratic candidate, Samuel l.
Tilden. He refused it because, as he said, he
deemed it better that the Republican candi-
dates should be elected than that he should
receive 800, 000." In the South Carolina
case, also, one of the Republican electors
openly announced that he had been offered
$4,000 to vote for the Democratic candidates
The fact that large sums OF money We're of
fered to buy up electoral votes for Tiden ant
Hendricks thus appears to be well established
Now the question comes up, soho was to pay
this money, SO lavishly and temptngly offer
ed, for carrying the Presidential election b,
bribery? People who are not deeply interest
ed personally do not have such large sums te
use for political purposes. Is it too much to
assume that Tilden himself must have been al
the bottom Of these disgraceful attempts to
buy his way into the White House

on Tuesday, Nov. 7th. One old colored man
had worked asy in the Democratic cause,
and secured the votes of fifty of his own race.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon he es-
pied Ben Hill coming toward the polls, aud
coolly walking up and taking him by the arm,
said "Genera | have voted about fifty of
my people. want to have the honor of vot-
ing one distinguished statesman-the colored

the assembled two thousand white and
colored men as has not been heard in Atlanta
for years.

And now our friend Carpenter, of the
Clinton Democrat, has discovered that Tilden,
the great usnfruct, is elected, he having Sc.
cured the vote of bogus elector in Oregon,
who by the reform y method SO well known
tion from the hereafter infamous Governor of
that State. Therefore brother Carpenter
figures up Tilden's vote at 1856. These fig
ures are quite an improvement on Tilden's in
come returns as to correctness, for they are
within one of the truth, but they are not true,
for all that.

The permanent international exhibition i

The permanent international exhibition in
Philadelphia may now be regarded as an as
sured fact. The vast "main building" of
the Centennial Exposition was purchased for
its uses last Friday week for $3.50, 900, which
is just half Of what the new organization was
prepared to pay if necessary to secure it. 1t
cost nearly six times as much, and is ms good
now as it was last spring. The judges hall
was also purchased in behalf of the new COM
pany, and as the machinery building, horti-
cultural building and art gallery win remain
for an indefinite time, the old Centenni u
grounds will yet be scene of grand attlac.
ton. The new association is controlled en-.
tirely by Philadelphians, and its operations
will be unfettered by the control of outside
commissions" There is every prospect
now that the permanent exhibition will be q
grand success, and it will perform am import,
ant part in maintaining the position before
the country and the world that the city has sc
deservedly attained. 1t is expected that the
new exhibition will open to the public by May
next, at very moderate rates of admission.

THE BURLINGTON FIRE.-The fire that
started in Edward Riggs stable, in Burling-
ton, at o'clock on last Sunday morning, de-
stroyed thirty-one buildings-twenty-
dwellings and four stables. Nearly every one
Of these buildings was built of wood, fran
ed in the lightest and cheapest way, and the
fire did its work in two hours. AT the end OF
that time nothing was left in its track but
few blackened chimneys and long desolate
trail of ashes In this short time more than
fifty families were burned out of house and
home. The water supply was short, and all
that was thrown upon the fire had to be drawn
from the wells and cisterns. At length, when
the fire had reached Daniel Dougherty S house,
in York street. it was concluded to tear that
building down for the safety of the adjoining
houses, and this stayed the progress of the
fire. The high wind that was blowing carried
the firebrands hither and thither, scattering
flame and danger everywhere, and the last
building burned was nearly a quarter of a
mile from the barn where the fire started. The
losses are more than fifty thousand dollars
chiefly in sums of less than three thousand
dollars to each owner, and the insurance falls
below twenty thousand, of which the Mount
Holly holds more policies than any other COM
pany.
The charred bodies of sixteen horses mark
cd the locality of the barn in which the fire
began. 1t is generally believed that the lire
was started by an incendiary, and several per-
sons have been arrested but, after hearings
before the Mayor they have all been discharg-
ed, except John Hitchins, eolored man, who
was held for further hearing. There We're
many cases of restitution, but these have hap
PLY been provided for, the citizens of the
place. at public meeting subscribing $500,
and the city appropriating $500 more.
Among the losses is one that cannot be
reekoned BY dollars and cents l. is an mol, old
street PAINTED yellow old-fashioned and
homeiy. It was one of the oldest buildings in
the State, having been built Of bricks that
were imported from Holland in 1877. In this
house Captain James Lawrence was born IN
17s1--ths historical Captain James who sug-
gested to his shipmates on the Chesapeake
that it would be well not to give up the ship.
And in this house afterwards lived Governor
Bloomfield, who swayed the gentle sceptre ov-
er Jerseys yeomen from 1901 till 1912. The
house is heap of ruins, inside the four shaky,
smoky walls, and is beyond all possibility Of
repair.
