THE DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS IN 1872.
In 1872 the vote of this State would have
been given to the Democratic State ticket
had not the general Board OF Canvsssers
under its Judicial powers corrected the
fraud by which the Jackson county can
vsss was made TO show n Democratic vote
OF 400 more than was shown by the oriyi-
nal precinct returns.
Thomas Bloxham. the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. received 939 votes, but
the returns were made to show that he had
received | 1889. while the vote OF Hart. his
opponent, was reduced from l.l09 to 10s.
Walls, the Republican candidate for
Congress. received | los votes, which re.
turn was altered to los.
This is the county In which Repubi-
can majority of 359 at the last election is
claimed to be converted into a Democratic
majority of 9S this year.
THE VOTE TO BE OPENLY AND HONESTLY
CANvAssED.
In view of this Democratic fraud 30 late

OF ell-kpown frauds elsewhere by that
party, We think the Democratic assertions
that fraud is contemplated by the Republi-
can members OF the State Board OF Can

gxlly the csnvsssing officer, are not entit-
led To much weight.

These figures agree with the latest re.
turns, and are substantially correct, though
several districts are still in doubt. aud the
New Hampshire delegation will not be
elected until next spring. IL is possible
that the Republicans may have another dis
trict In Missouri and California, and may
have lost one in Florida, and one In Lou
lsiana. but there is no reason to expect
thar the apparent Democratic majority Of

they must be given to their competitors.
This is on account OF simply giving the In

As it WAS evidently the intention OF the

aud as the House are judges of the election
OF 1t members, the above named gentlemen
will undoubtedly be allowed their seats.

London. Nov. 30. A dispatch TO the
Vines from Calcutta says that thl ee large
islands, viz Haitian, Sundop and Dakhin
StahabaZpOre, and numerous small islands
included in the Bsckergunge, Noak valley
and Chittagong Districts, were entirely
submerged by the Storm wave of October
3lst, as was also the main land for five or
six miles inland. These islands are ali
situated in or near the estuary of the River
Mezna. The largest, Dakhin StahabazpOre
was 800 square miles in extent. IL had
population Of about 100000. Haitian and
Sundop together had about l00, 900 popula-
ton. Up to ii O'Clock on the night OF the
3lst there were no signs of danger, but be-
fore midnight the wave swept over the
country to depth in many places Oftwen-
ty feet, surprising people in their beds.
Dense groves OF cocOanut and palm trees
around villages enabled many to save
themselves BY climbing among the branch
es, and some took refuge on the roofs OF
the houses. but the water burst the houses
asunder and swept them out to sea. Some
were carried thus across the channel ten
miles to Chittagong District, but vast ma.
jority were never heard OF again.
