stumbled IN a rich piece of fraud to-
day in Lyon county, at Precinct Nc.
Is. 1t will be remembered y Repub-
lican tickets were found in the box it
was charged them. These tickets, called
"little JOkers," had been placed sur
reptitioIsly in the folds Of the large
tickets. 1t was shown by the Republi
cans that the names on the registry
list compared in number with the tick
cts, including the 'little .jokers." To-
day, it appears from careful examina-
ton of the registry list. that the block
of u names interpolated in the regis
try lists of precincts, these - names
camc solidly n after the other, and
just cover the fraud of the tiny tickets.
Mr.. Fleming, who has lived in the
precinct all his life, was introduced and
testified hat he knew every voter in
the precinct except this block Of y
names, and that he did not know n sin
gle MAJ in the number. Besides this
palpable fraud. the examination Of the
general poll list showed II reporters.
The Congressman were so deeply in
terested over the discovery of these
frauds that they declined to adjourn
for supper, and are now in session at
niue O'Clock. One OF them said 10 your
correspondent that it was Il new lead
for them tn strike; and one Of them.
full of surprised, says it was further
shown that a Democratic inspector was
excluded from the precinct, on the
ground that he was not Oh hand at the
opening of the polls, aud that a Re-
publican put in bis place. He swears
that he was at the polls before the
opening time, and that they were
opened before the appointed hour for
the purpose OF throwing him out. This
county Was canvassed entirely by the

SAN Francisco. Dec. 15.
y ChinawOman, the wife of Wong
Fin, inspector of the Wing Yong Com
pany, died last night under circum-
stances of somewhat mysterious ma
ture, the Chinese physician in attend
ance being unable to discover tine
cause. Before death occurred, during
the night, her husband, on opening
her trunk. found seventeen hundred
dollars missing, besides other valua.
bles. He had not opened the trunk
for Sorne time. and the absence OF
the money and the fact that he in
tended to take it with him on the
China steamer, on which he designed
to sail to-day, together with the suS-
pic,ous circumstances, rendered it
probable that the woman had am
bled away the money, ETC.. and find
ing detection inevitable, had taken
poison. An autopsy will be held on
the body.
The body of an unknown man
was found hanging by the neck on
the beach, between Taylor and Jones
streets early this morning. A rope
was fastened to a .ioist inserted in a
stack of hay.
The attachment of Bill Briggs faro
bank, at the instance of Parrot &
Co.. causes considerable talk. The
only money found on the prem
iSes consisted of about 25 pounds
weight of short bits in packages. The
demand attached to the writ alleges
that Briggs we'll knew Won Mehr
was gambling with his employers
money, as he had frequently staked
checks on the game. Won Mehr took
only 81 900 or $1,000 with him on his
flight to Mexico, nearly all of which
was in the possession of GuSsie Mott,
his paramount. Parrott & Co. allege
in their complaint hat Won Mehr,
the absconding clerk. recently ex,
tradited from Mexico, lost about $751;
900 at Briggs faro brink. 1t is ru-
mored that "A number of prominent
citizens will be called on rs Witnesses
and rich revelations are expected.
A match has been arranged between
May Howard and st. James for 81 900
aside, the former carrying twenty five
pounds over weight, to ON off at
Oakland Park O N Christmas.
Another match has been arranged
between Champion Bogardus and Rob-
inSOn, for 81 900 IL side, to come off be-
fore Christmas. A forfeit has been put
up and the whole sum is to be forth
coming within ter day. Bogardus'
judge, in Wednesdays match, com.
plains that he IA not given am oppor-
tunity to make any Claims for his man
or have any voice in the decisions
whatever. He has not even been asked
for his score to compare with those
kept by the other Judge.

Witnesses Examined--Wade Hamp.
ton Inaugurated Amid Great
Enthusiasm--Lynching of
Negroes Untrue,
Ttldcn Electors Probably Elected.

New YORK. Dec. IA.
A Times Columbia special says the
Congressional Committee this after
noon examined a few witnesses with
reference to the precinct returns in
Barnwe!l and Anderson counties.
Their chief point was that no return
was made to the County Commission
ers from Robbins precinct, Barnwell
county; none returned by the Com
missiOners to this State Board; where
a. the board has such returnS in its
possession giving the Republican
Electors 800 majority; but it turned
out by their own witnesses that this
precinct was not counted by the State
Board in the canvass, which gave the
Hayes electors 900 majority.
A World Columbia special says: The
Democratic Legislature will count the
vote for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor tomorrow. and Hampton
will be inaugurated afterward. The
Radicals will have but a short session
of their Legislature, as they propose
/ adjourn sine die on the I'D. The
sessions have usually continued until
March.
The reported lynchins of colored
murderers in Abbeyville is untrue.
COLUMBIA, s. G., Dec. IA.
The inauguration of Hampton took
place in front of Carolina Hall this af-
]ternoon. The quare in front of the
hall was den>eiy packed with persons
OF both races and the hou>e-tops We're
covered with spectators. At $3.50 p. NJ.
Hampton was escorted to the stand
aiaid demonstrations Of great enthusi
asn. The members of the General
Assembly occupied the space immedi-
ately surrounding the stand, with the
crowd in the rear. Gen. Hampton
then read his inaugural address. At
the close OF the address, the oath OF
office was administered by Justice
Marshall to Hampton, a. Governor,
and 70 w. u. Simpson, as Lieutenant
GOvernor-the crowd standing uncov-
cred while the ceremony was being
performed. The chair i'll which fiamp-
on was seated was then wrapped in
the national c0lor>, and he was borne
on the shoulders of a dozen men to
his hotel escorted by the entire crowd.
Several prominent gentlemen address
ed the multitude rom the front Of the
hotel. The Congressional Committee
occupied a prominent position on the
balcony.
A Hcrdld New Orleans special says:
It MAS discovered this evening that the
Returning Board had filed in its re-
port only the total votes cast in the
State with the Secretary of State, thus
rendering it impossible for the clerk to
obtain the record OF the votes cast in
any single parish. The committee in

SCANDAL IN OAkLAND.

The San Francisco lost of the llth
ms. relates the following: The
usual quietness of one Of the Oakland
hotels was yesterday disturbed by the
appearance of a frenzied gentleman,
who was in search of his wife. who
had been missing from her home for
some days. 1t seems that The Geor-
Gia Ministries have teen playing q
brief engagement at Dietz' Hall, and
that their show had been attended by
a large number of Oaklanders. Among
those who took delight in the actions OF
these coiored gentlemen was a mar
ried lady, who became enamoured
with one Of the darkest Cubans III the
troupe. This DeSdemona managed to
get acquainted with her Othello, and il.
took but a short time for the twain 10
arrange C)andestine meetings. The
husband had his suspicious aroused,
and watched the goiugs-out and co,n-
inCs-in of his frail partner. 1ester-
day about 10 o'clock A. NJ. he armed
himself with a revolver, and calling at
the hotel, demanded Of the clerk 10 be
shown to No. So. He rushed up stairs.
aud bursting open the door, saw an
uuwelcome sight. The gay Othello
was sitting on the bed with little cloth
Ing on, and the frail wife covered I'M
derneath the bed-clothes. An explana-
ton was made and a hollow truce
patched up between the husband wife,
who left the hotel together. 1t is said
that much money changed hands be-
fore the wounded honor of the hus-
band was a~ppeased."

TALLAHASSEE. Dec. IA.
The Congressional Committee to-day
discovered what is alleged to be an in
terpolation ofseventy-two names in the
poll list OF a precinct in Leon county.
This Interpolation, the Democrats
charge, was made to cover seventy.
two small fraudulent tickets found in
the box hidden in the folds of the reg
ular tickets, and thus smuggled into
the box. The Interpolation was
changed on the ground that the citi-
zens of the precinct failed to identify
any of the seventy-two names, and
from the fact that the poll list at this
precinct was not numbered as at all
Othor precincts. The Republicans
claim they can explain these facts sat-

Cronin, the Oregon Democratic
Elector, passed Elko last night en-
route for Washington. While tie
train tarried at the depot the Demo-
Gratis at that place had the bad taste
to give him a public reception. We
say bad taste, because their course can
be construed in no other light than as
an Endorsement of the question bubble
resorted to by Governor Grover and
his advisers to thwsrt the expressed
will of the people of Oregon. We
would like to see Tilden President, but
we do not desire to see him succeed
on n mere t~echniCality. We are free to
admit that the Returning Boards OF

circumstances: During the session of

TO the County Commissioners that il
would be impossible for him to keep
prisoners in Jail without some provision
was made for feeding them. The Com

necessary arrangements and the bills
would be settled. The arrangements
We're accordingly made, and in due
time bills were presented but not al.
lowed. This cut off further supplies,
so That no more credit could be OBJ
tanned. Yesterday the Deputy Sheriff
waited on the only County Commits
siOner left in Phoebe, and stated the
facts of the case to him, asking for an
arrangement to be made Immediately
for feeding, to which the Commissioner
replied that owing to the absence of
the other two he could do nothing
alone. There being no funds on hand
and 10 credit, George \. Davis was ac-
