Discharge any of your Subordinates
who vote the Democratic ticket"

Special correspondence Of the ". Y, World
RUTLAND, Vt, November 14.-The
following letter was sent by the superln-
tendent of the Howe Sewing Machine
company" from Rochester, N. Y, to their
agent at Rutland, VT, just before the late
election. In its bias and intent it is dis
grace to any civilization, and deserves the
righteous indignation of all lovers of fair
play and justice:
ROCHESTER, n. Y. November g. 1876
To the Rutland Office:
We wish you to discharge any of your subordi-
yates who vote the Democratic ticket. We believe
that the success of the Democratic party will be
the ruin OF our country and business. and will not
support any one who will not stand by us in this.
This is struggle between the intelligent and
table portion of the community and the igno-
rant roughs and rowdies of The cities,
Mr.. Stockwell fully concurs with me in the
above. (Signed) GEO. r. PETTIBoNE.
Write to all your agents to the above effect and
what we wish (Signed) GEO. R, PETTIBoNE.

Nobody was much surprised when Mr.,
Grant invited Mr.. Logan to go down to
Louisiana and see fair count, but every
body was very much surprised when Mr..
Logan declined to go. John gave it to be
inferred that he based his refusal on the
fact that he might have to sit in Judge
ment on the case, and so did not wish to
PREJUDICE the case. 1t is more likely, how
eyer, that he was in the position OF the wit
ness who had received an impression that
it would require no end of evidence to
remove; for be is the same Mr.. Logan who
said in the senate, March /, 1878:
The government or pretended gov
ernment now set up with Kellogg,as now,
for governor is one that has no existence
in fact, except founded upon fraud, with
out returns, without votes, without any
thing except mere desire on the part of
combination to establish a government
They have done so by calling to their aid
aid force and power, and by that force and
power they have established government
there and reign over the people contrary
to their wishes, in face of the law and in
violation of the constitution"
