GREAT REPUBLICAN ERA UDS IN
MUSKLNGUM COUNTY.

zANEsvILLE, O., October l4.-The elec-
ton in this county is the most lllegiti-
mate in its proportions since 1860, when
Delano cheated General Morgan so out
rageously. Voters were intimidated by
their Republican employers. Republi-
can agents rode over the townships buy
ing up voters to stay from the election,
and many instances voters were directly
bought up at the polls. Colored voters
were imported and swore Their votes re.
gardless of truth or the consequences.
G erks and Government employees who
had no legal residence here were trans.
ported to vote the Republican ticket.
The regular Republican Judges of Elec-
ton acated their seats, which were filled
by more bitter partisans. By these means
the Democratic majority in this county
has been reduced, and it is only a Won
der that we still hold the fort in Muskin-
gum by some 200 majority on the State
ticket. Bell, Southard and Geiger are all
ahead of the ticket. The probabilities
are that the entire county ticket, except
ing, perhaps infrmary Director, is elect

CROOKED WHISKY CASES.

New York, October 13.-In the United
States Circuit Court, criminal branch,
before Judge Benedict to-day, Thomas
Harlan, counsel for number of persons
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
Government by crooked whisky trans
actions, made a motion to quash the in
dictments and proceeded to argue it. He
contended that, as duties should be paid
on spirits before it left the distillery
where made, there alone could any
fraud on the Government be perpetrated,
and that it was impossible for any man
to commit fraud in this regard in New
York in connection with liquor distilled
in Western States. Further argument
was postponed until Tuesday.

South Carolina Special says that Cover

nation to the effect that on Monday
night about 8 o'clock, 200 armed men
opened the county Jail of Edgefeld and
took from it 470 stand Of arms which
were stored there. The acting Deputy
Sheriff; the Jailor and a United States
sentinel who was on post not over two
hundred yards distant, were not aware
of the presence of the armed band nor
of the carrying off of arms. Nobody,
says the Governor. but those concerned
IN the plot knew any thing about it, and
he, of course, believes that white men
perpetrated this fresh outrage, The arms
were taken from the negro militia at a
time of great disorder in Edge6eld coun-
ty in 1874, upon conditions that the rifle
club would disband, and have since been
stored there. They were principally
| reeCh-loaders.

Federal Soldiers ArreSting The VoterS of

AUGUSTA, GA, October l2.-Squads of
Federal soldiers, with warrants issued by
the United States Commissioner, are 60
ing through Aiken and Barnwell coun-
ties, South Carolina. arresting white citi'
zens. The latter submit quietly to ar
rest. 1t is reported here to-day that
General Hagood, who commanded the
posse in the late riot at Fllenton by in
structions from Judge Heggn, the Re-
publican Circuit Judge, has been arrested
and that the officer commanding the
squad at first, insisted upon Handwriting
him, but finally consented not to do SO.
The arrested parties were carried before
the United States Commissioner at Aiken
who admitted them to bail in the sum
of $1,000 each, allowing, however, only
one surety on each bond .....

But it Is constantly said by our Repub-
lican friends that the war made this load
of taxation inevitable. This is not true
to the extent to which it i, urged. Ifyou
will take the statement of the fiscal year
ending March, 1874, you will find that the
Government paid out that year more than
S2S5, 100000 Out of this sum there was
paid on account of war debt, pensions,
de-, $l36, 1000, ,000-less than half the ex-
penses of the Government. Now, the
fact that we had to pay this heavy sum
made the strongest reason why all other
expenses Should be cut down to the low
est point But instead of doing that, be-
sides taxing the people on account of the
war, the Government made the taxes for
all other purposes twice as great as they
were before we had any war debt. The
expenses before the war, even during the
time when we were conquering Mexico
and engaged in sending fleets and armies
to that far-off country, were never equal
to $70000000 year, This Administra-
ton spent in the year speak OF, $780,
900 900 above all charges on account of
the war debt or pensions, &c, five could
carry on foreign war, send abroad ar
mics and navies and conquer Mexico and
spend less than $70000,000 each year,
surely this Government should be able
to go on with $75,OO0,0O0 in q time of
peace. We ought to have taken off dur
ing the year 1874 more than $7O,OO0OOO.

more favorable to the Republican party.
1t is thus shown that our taxes can be

Benjamin Butler" says the Cincin-
natl Gazette's Washington correspondent,
"belongs to class who neither forgive
nor forget. When he was influential at
the White House he happened to be
riding in the street cars one morning at
the time the various Government en-
ployees were going to their daily tasks.
Opposite the General with the oblique
vision sat two girls, full of nonsense
and recklessly garrulous, as girls are
apt to be. Said one, in a distinguish
able undertone, DO you see that cross
eyed old fellow over yonder? Well, he
is General Butler, the New Orleans ty-
rant, and he belongs to the royal order
of the keeper-of- the-spoons Isn't he
horribly ugly?' The girls ratified on un-
til time for them to alight, and, I'M
thinkingly, they went to their various
rooms and duties. Gen. Butler followed
the girl who sketched him in so uncom-
plimentary manner. found out her
name, and so forth, and, in a few days
thereafter, she was minus desk under
Uncle Sans protecting care, was
determined to be even with her. re-
marked the gallant son Of Massachu-
sets"
