HOW is THAT?

Fernando Wood was elected to Con-
gress as democrat by democratic votes.
He is man who is regarded as model
democrat He was very prominent can
didate at the opening of the present ses-
sion of Congress for Speaker of the House.
His influence as a member of the party
is undeniable. But Wood it appears has
been trading in offices as well as Belknap.
II Belknap deserves to be impeached why
should Wood be allowed to escapep The
following from the New York of Monday
is worthy the attention Of democrats
"To democratic journals desirous of CIV
ing point to powerful editorials" about
the corruption OF our time, we commend
the report contained in our columns to-
day of the case of the creditors of N H.
Fowler and others against Fernando
Wood. The allegation in this case is.
briefly, that Fowler paid Fernando Wood
some $4,000 in return for his appoint
ment as Corporation Attorney. The
agreement was that when Fowler got the
appointment he was to pay Wood $5, 200
in cash and the first years salary of the
Office, and to divide with Wood the salary
and perquisites for the subsequent period
of his holding Office. As the case is still
before the courts, it would be improper to
express any opinion on its merits, but its
obvious resemblance TO the case against
Gen. Belknap will not escape the reader.
The instructive point about it is that,
though its progress has been reported at
various times during the past week, no.
body has ,hought it worth any special re
mark. And yet Fernando Wood is de-
cidediy more prominent member of the
democratic party than Belknap was OF the
republican. The obvious inference is that
the public have come to look upon corrupt
jobbery as the rule among democratic pol
iticians, while it is exceptional enough in
the republican party to cause great atten-
ton and surprise.

POLiIICAL,

Marsh, implicated in the Belknap frauds, has
made hasty flight to Canada.
1t is alleged that the Congressional Investgat-
ing Committee find nothing criminal in the con-
duct of Secretary Robson, but allude to loose
interpretations of law.
Query for Mr. Tilden-"If the Sheriff of New
York had been republican how long would he
have held the Office after the escape of William
NJ. Tweed ''-Seneca Falls Courier (Rep.)
In spite of DR.. Lorings eloquence the Massa-
chusetts Senate has declined to pass bill giving
suffrage to women. The advocates of the bill
were confident of its success until the last moment
1t is intimated that there are rods in pickle for
two prominent democrats, one of whom may be
expelled from Congress. The knowledge of this
is said to cool the ardor of the democrats in the
proposed Impeachment Of Belknap.
The charges that the republicans responsible
for Marsh's absence are emphatcally denied. 1t
seems Mr. Clymer, in concurrence with his demo-
cratic brethren, told Marsh that he would not be
wanted despite the protest of republicans tn at he
should be detained.
The New York papers which argue that the fall
of Belknap will hurt the republicans as the Tweed
rsscaty damaged the democratic party Of New
York, forget that the democracy tamely scquesced
in Tweed's rule, which was only overthrown by
republican exposure, whereas the republican party
has always tried and punished its own recreants.
A canal man Of prominence was informed day
or two ago that Gov. Tilden desired to consult
him respecting the canal appointments. "Indeed, y
was the answer, 81 have undergone some investi-
CATION myself, but wish it understood that do
not consult with man who took $4,000 ofTweed's
stolen money and used it for political purposes.

ELECTORAL FRAUDS IN NEW HAM
SUyPE

OHIhE.
Our New Hampshire correspondence
has already presented the substance OF the
astounding frauds perpetrated by the dem
ocrats OF Manchester, through their con-
troll Of the voting lists. Whether these men
thought that the Belknap developments
would turn the atteption of the New
Hampshire republicans away from the out
RACES practiced at home for the purpose of
defeating the honest voice of the people,
or whether the frauds had their origin long
ago, in pursuance of local democratic tao
tics, they are certainly of character to
demand the attention and reprobation of
all honest men. The Manchester Mirror
publishes over three columns OF names
found on the voting lists of Ward Five in
that city which are either utterly fictitious
or stand for persons who have no legal
right to vote. The plan of the ballot stuff
fers and repeaters originally contemplated
the adding of about eight hundred ticti-
tious names-as it is, over four hundred
are already on the lists. They are names
of minors. OF dead men, of men once
voters who have moved away, of unnat-
uralized residents, and names apparently
copied from the directories of other cities,
Even where the name Of legal voter
once appears rightly it may be varied for
fraudulent purposes, either by changing
the spelling of the name, or by doubling
up the given places of residence. In
short, the forged list is work of art. of
its kind-the kind being of the very
worst.
Ii such things are done in one ward Of
Manchester, what right have we to sup
pose that they are limited to that single
location, seeing that the same motives
press elsewhere upon the political asso-
ciates of these ballot-stuffers 1t will be
well for the New Hampshire republicans
everywhere to be vigilant in their scrutiny
of the voting lists and prompt and resolute
in their exposure of fraud wherever they
find it. 1t would be bad enough for our
New Hampshire friends to have their
cause hazarded by unjust misrepresenta-
ton and clamor, but to be deliberately
swindled out of their rights by practices
that ought to lead their perpetrators to the
State. Prision, is what shonld not mo.
menl be allowed.
