CHEBOYGAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1876

timidation, the proofs of which were pos
| tive, were of such natuae as to shock
the whole world. Yet the men who
were engaged in this intimidation and
murder told the Northern Democrats
that there was nothing political in them,
and therefore they come out in mani
festo to the people, claiming that there
was free and fair election there.
This, too, before the decision OF
the Returning Board. While they
have been calling for fair count,
they have been trying by every means in
their power to secure an electoral vote
from some otthe Republican states by
some fraudulent or legal technicality.
Their whole course since the election
has shown that they do not want fair,
honest count, unless it counts Tilden in,
and that they do not care by what means
they secure an election. SO that they Sc
cure it. Rutherford B. Hayes has re-
ceived majority of the electoral votes
and will be the next President of the
United States, all Democratic talk to the
contrary notwithstanding.

Needy Circumstances.

For some months past there has been
considerable talk. about the suffcrings
which would come TO a large number OF
the homesteaders i'm Emmett County
were not some action taken for their re-
lief. Already quite an amount of goods
and provisions have been sent in from
the southern part of the state. A meet.
ing Of the Board OF Supervisors was held
short time ago to take the matter un-
der consideration. They decided to ask
further aid from the benevOlents In the
state, and to that end committee was
appointed to prepare and circulate cir
cular among the churches of the state
asking for the aid required. There is to
be local distributing board in Petoskcy
to see that the distributing is properly
made. The township boards are to as
certain the needy. and aid is to be given
in proportion to the amount of land
cleared. Eight dollars for every acre OF
chopping done, we believe, is the limit.
A large number of the hOmesteaders
came to their homes almost empty hand
ed, and it is not at all surprising that
many of them have not been able 10 raise
enough to keep them through the win
ter. If they can live until they get a
small amount of land cleared they will
be able to raise that which they need,
and before many years have nice homes
of their own. In giving to them, the
charitable will know that they are giving
in good cause.

The electoral college met at the Capt.
tails of the several states last Wednesday.
Hayes and Wheeler receive one hundred
and eighty-five votes, which secures their
election. Since the first few days after
election, no fair-minded man has thought
that there could be any other result.
That the Republican nominees were the
choice Of the people of the United States,
could that choice be freely expressed,
there could be no doubt. The only ques-
ton was, could there be majority over
and above the frauds which were prac.
ticed in some of the Southern states. The
Democratic party. under bold. unscrupu-
lous leaders, have managed such cam
paign as this country never before knew,
and we trust may never know again. The
leading men called into their counsels
were gamblers, and it was by their influ-
ence they hoped to carry tho north, while
to secure a ''solid South" the party de-
pended upon their eX-rebel brethren of
the South to getthe negroes in such a
state of subsection that they dare not
vote. The means which were used there
to secure this result will be more fully
known hereafter, but it is sufficient to
say that they were such means as will be
a stencil in the nOstrils Of the civilized
world. The election over, with per-
sistency which was worthy a better
cause, they claimed the election. and
were seemingly bound to have it
whether the laws OF the contested states
gave it to them or not. NOtwithstand-
ing their theory of Estates rights" they
insisted OIL the state law being violated,
that their candidate might be elected
Representative men of their party were
sent to the capitals of the contested states
to see that there was stair count"
Their proceedings soon demonstrated
that no count would be ''fair count
unless it elected Tilden. The Returning
Board in South Carolina, in accordance
with a state law, announced the result
for Hayes and Wheeler, and were fined
and imprisoned by rebel supreme court
which had no more jurisdiction than the
visiting Democrats had. The face OF the
returns. in spite of excessive frauds, were
for Hayes, and still the Democrats claim
it was not a tair count. 1t was the same
in Florida.
In louisiana frauds were proven in
several counties sufficient, under the
state law-which, by the way, was
passed by Democrats = that they
were thrown out. The frauds and in

A BAD Year for the Lake Carrying =
Trade.

This year will long be remembered by
those engaged in transportation business,
as The most Improbable and unsatisfac-
tory that has ever been known in this
country. In former years there have
been some weeks or months OF great
prOstration, and, a very few dull entire
seasons have been experienced. But
taking into account the whole tlaDspor-
tation business of 1876. ii Is without par
allel for utter stagnation. In previous
years the dullneSs las been chiefly due
TO the failure of crops ut the wrst. or .
very light foreign movement. But t,,is
season the crops have been 1bundam',
and the foreign demand has been at lesst
fair, and large quantities of property
have been transported. This is really
the most discoulaging feature. II shows
that the tonnage OF the country is in eX-
cess OF the demand The had effects of
this prostration, however would have
been less disastrous llas it not been Tor

freights have been so low that no builder
will have the temerity to replace with

The arrows by which Commo
dore GoodenOugh, Of the British
navy, was killed were poisoned
by plunging in a human corlse
for several days. This form of
blood poisoning is made familiar
in civilized countries by the occa
siOnal death of a medical student
from incubation by morbid virus,
The least scratch is sufficient to
insure death, though the poison
does not develope for several
days. The Papuans, who use this
method of poisoning, are very
warlike, and it is said that they
do not leave their dwellings. even
to work in the fields, without Ia
king a bamboo bow and soma
arrows. Those arrows which are
poisoned are distinguished from
their more innocent fellows by
being highly Ornamented, carved
and painted. They are barbed
with human bone. sharpened a
fine almost as Il needle.
