Fraud! Fraudm Fraua,,,

Was the cry with which the Democratic
brawlers throughout the country greeted
the indications that the Republicans had
carried the states of Florida, Louisiana
and South Carolina, all of which, on fair,
unconstrained vote, are as surely Republic
can as is Vermont; and in neither OF
which had the Democrats the remotest
chance of success except by the practice of
the very frauds they so glibly charge upon
their opponents These States, under hon
est elections, are controlled by tue negro
vote and democratic negroes are quite as
rare as are republican Irishmen of the
Catholic faith. Not one in a thousand
among the recently enslaved blacks will
willingly vote with the Democratic party.
His republcanism is The one thing the ne
gro holds sacred, and never voluntarily
surrenders. 1t is his hope and his religion.
He knows who emancipated and enfran-
chised him and opened up 10 his race the
possibilities of independent manhood. He
remembers that the Republican party stood
his friend in his sorest need, when his
Democratic enemies, then as now, sought
to Cypress and degrade him and so, while
ne may nave llllle knoWledge oil the theory
and science of government, his very in
stinct OF self-preservation combines With
his earnest gratitude, 10 keep him as true
TO the Republican party as the needle 10
the pole. Ifa fair election had been held,
and the blacks had been permitted TO vote
unawed and unmOlested, no Intelligent
man Of any party doubts that Alabama and
Mississippi, as well as Florida, Louisiana
and South Carolina, would have voted for
the Republican candidates, and thus have
secured Hayes's election beyond any pos
sible contingency, and by large majority
in the electoral college. How becoming,
then, as well as characteristic, In Demo
Gratis, whose success in any of these states
is, Ia itself, positive evidence Of most
damning fraud, TO charge their own crimes
upon their opponents Verify, the cum
ming robber who, 10 divert suspicion from
himself. cried "stop theft" would cut bat
a sorry figure beside the more crafty prac-
tees of his modern imitatOrs and follow

a Word 20 the Public.

There are in Windl am County al least
one thousand Democrats who are paying
the Vermont Ph0niZ, Record and Farmer,
and Bellows Falls Times for abusing them.
These papers take especial pleasure in de-
nounclng you 10 your wives and children
as traitors 'copperheads,' rebels sym
pathizers with secession opponents OF re-
ligion, morality etc. Have you not paid
them for their abuse as long as il is your
interest or your duty TO do it7 Is it not
time that you transferred your subscrp-
lions and your support to a paper that will
treat you fairly? Does not your own self
respect as well as your duty to your party
and your country, demand that If you do
not feel able 10 take but one county news
paper that you should send us 81 for the
Reformer?- JVindhom 90. RcIormer.
In copying tue above from recently pub
lished prospectus or appeal or the WiHdham
County Reformer we have no intention TO
question the means which that sheet may
use in an attempt 10 build itself up, but the
application is so obvious that we cannot re-
sist the inclination TO ask whether RepuGG-
cans will be likely 10 lend their support to
sheet which has, apparently, been started
TO abuse and "denounce" them. II is
pretty certain, at any rate, that the Reform
err cannot become a great success without
aid, either in subscriptions or advertising,
from the Republicans, and we shall in due
time see 10 what extent that cid will be &C.
corded. Our impression, however, is that
very large majority of them will prefer
to give their supper, to journals which have
through a long series OF years devoted
themselves to the best interests of the COIN
munity, and that they will do this notwith-
standing the repeated assertions OF the
publishers ofthe RcforBler, when soliciting
business, that the other local papers are to
speedily die out and the ReJormer to be-
come The paper Of the county.
1t is not a matter OF great importance, but
we may remark in passing that so far, at
least, as THE PHGNIx is concerned, candid
Democrats will take exception TO the Re
formers remarks about "abuse' of their
party. We have always endeavored to be
earnestly and consistently Republican, but
We have never descended to abuse or Wilt
fcation of our opponents. Still further
than this, realizing that there was no local
Democratic organ, we have always given
liberal room TO all matters Of special inter
est 10 that party. Everything in the shape
OF calls for political conventions and meet
ings, and reports of all such gatherings, TO-
gether with resolutions, party platforms,
etc., ETC., have been as freely and as cheer
fully published in our columns when COM
ing from the Democratic party, as have like
matters pertaining 10 our own. We feel
that our course in this respect has been ap-
preciated by the Democrats, and our rule
in the future will be tho same as in the
past. We expect and believe that The
PHOENIX will continue to receive from all
sources that degree Of support which it has
honestly earned and merited, and this is all
we ask or desire.

Gov. Kellogg Of Louisiana on Thursday
sent the following dispatch to the chair
man Of the Republican national commit
tee:-
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 8, 1876.
Hon. b. Chandler -
We have received private dispatches that
leading Democrats are en- route. Perhaps
you had better send some men Of national
reputation who have the confidence OF this
country. We want the situation and its
facts thoroughly known, and will stand or
fall by The record, knowing we are right.
WM. p. KELLOGG.
In accordance with the intimation in
President Grants order, aud with the re-
quest of Gen. Kellogg, that prominent
northern men Of both parties should go to
Louisiana and inspect the counting Of the
votes, with the view OF seeing that fairness
is observed, considerable number OF such
men have gone there. Among them are
Gen. Garfield, Gen Logan, Congressman
Kasson OF Iowa, Mr.. Ditty Of Maryland,
NJ. S. Quay, Secretary Of State Of Pennsyl-
vanis, Thomas Beaver and John Shoenber-
ger, two large manufacturers OF Pennsyl-
vania, Gen. James i. Reynolds and Henry
Stebbins OF New York. Many others will
he asked 10 go 10 New Orleans.
A special train left Philadelphia on Sat
urday, with :he commission OF prominent
Democrats, invited by Chairman Hewitt
TO be present at the meeting Of the Louisia-
ma Returning Board in the interest Of Gov.
Tilden.
Gen. Sheridan las been ordered 10y Pres
idont Grant to New Orleans, TO take COM
mand there, and len Chicago on Sunday
night for that city. Several important or
ders have also been issued by the Presi-
dent, all looking to the protection OF ballot
boxes and those having them in charge,
until fall and fair count has been COM
while the count is in progress.

AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE REMAINS OF
PRESIDENT LINCoLS.-A most daring at
tempt was made on election night, Tues
day evening, 9TH inst, by several scoun-
drels, TO break into the vault of the Lin
coin monument at Springfield, ILL.,, and
steal the remains of the dead President. 1t
Is said that those most nearly Interested
have had an inkling Of the plot, since last
June, and that detectives discovered who
the consprators were, learned their plans
and allowed them to go on almost to ac-
complish the deed, in the hope of captur-
ing them with conclusive evidence of their
purpose and attempt, the plan being spoil
ed by the premature discharge of pistol.
The detectives were concealed in the me-
mortal hall in the monument all the eve
ming, election night, with guard in the
passage-way until about half-past 0, when
a noise was heard in the vault and the
watch rushed toward the door with their
revolvers cooked for use in case of resist
ance. One of these went Off by accident
when they were about 100 feet from the
door of the vault, and in that lhort space
the vandals managed 10 escape into the
woods close by, into which the detectives
dispersed to find them, but without success.
The villains had removed the double lid
and the head-piece of the sarcophagus and
had begun TO pull out the cedar case con-
tanning the leaden casket when they were
interrupted. They would probably have
opened the inner casket and put the re-
mains into bag or box for easier carriage.
The motive of the perpetrators is unknown
although the most ready suppositiOn Is that
they proposed TO demand heavy ransom
for the precious dust of the great President,
relying upon the deep feeling of the Amer.
lean people, the pride of the people of Illi-
nois, and the interest Of the monument as
ISOLATION to raise any sum that might be
named.

The Democrats have been trying for
day or two TO gain little comfort from the
fact that Henry n. S0llace, one Of the pres
ideutial electors elect from this State, is in
eligible TO that Office from the fact that he is,
or was, postmaster OF his town OF Bridport,
and the constitution Of the United States
provides that no person holding an Office
under the United States can be an elector.
Mr. Sol!ace resigned his office the day be-
fore the election, aud his resignation has
bean accepted, but 1t is claimed that this
does not remedy the difficulty, aud it now
seems probable that the way ont Of it will
be FOR Mr.. Sollace 10 simply absent him
self from the meeting Of the electors on tho
9th Of December, when his place will be
filled by The other electors, in accordance
with the State law. The claim Of tue Dem
ocrals, that, Mr.. Solace being Ineligible,
one Of their claddIIes succeeds 10 his place,
wont hold wafer, aad it is pretty certain
that Mr.. Tilden will have to 60 outside of
Vermont for the one vote necessary to elect
him.

The Election, OF 1870 and 1890 Com.
nared.


1t is interesting to compare the election
returns Of 1876 with those Of 1850, when
Lincoln was elected by majority OF the
electoral votes, but with a popular vote
against him. Lincoln carried every North
ern State except New Jersey. Breckin-
ridge carried Alabama, Arkansas, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Texas. Bell carried Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Douglas
had only New Jersey and Missouri IN
the electoral college, which then consisted
Of 3l3 electors, Lincoln had $50 votes, " hich
was a majority Of 80. But the popular ma
jority against him was nearly $50 900 that
is TO say, the combined votes OF the other
candidates were larger than his by so
much. At this presidential election, Hayes
carried every Northern State but Connect
icut, New Jersey, New York and Indiana.
Only four OF the twenty-five Northern
States went for Tilden. In those twenty
two States Hayes has majority of 800, 200,
as far as heard from. Tilden has majority
OF $500. In the twenty-five Northern
States, therefore, Tilden has a majority of
2i7, 400 against him. This estimate, it will
be observed, includes the great State of
New York :; and his majority in the State
is due TO the vote Of New York City, which
was too large &c he overcome by the honest
and intelligent vote o: the interior. The
popular vote in that city, which is such an
important factor in Tilden's slender North
ern vote, largely cimo from the slums Of
New York, whose Inhabitants do not rep
resent the intelligence and morals OF the
American people.

Alexander r. ("Boss') Shepherd, ex-
Governor of the District Of Columbia, call
ed together a number of his personal
friends and creditors at Washington, on
the 9th inst, and stated that he was pecuni-
arlly embarrassed, and submitted to them
a statement of assets and liabilities, show
ing an excess in assets OF over 100000.
"A dispatch from Calcutta says that 20,
900 persons persisted in the cyclone of oc-
lober 81, and some estimates place the loss
of lives as high as 10000. In the town OF
Burrishol 5000 houses were leveled with
the earth. Letters from survivors report
that a great wave, nine feet deep, swept
over the large island of Dakhin.
Great damage was done in the interior
of Cuba by the floods which accompanied
the hurricane of the 10th and Goth ult. The
inundation covered some forty miles OF
territory, and in some places there was
eight feet of water, while on many planta-
lions only the chimney tops were visible.

THE NATIONAL ELECTION.
The ResaIt still In Doubt, with y ssrons
and Iacreasing Probability thst
Hayes n Elected.

Since VIC went TO press at noon last
Thursday there cannot be said to have been
any decisive change in the political stua-
ton, although each days dispatches and
developments have seemed to render 1t
more aud more probable that Hayes and
Wheeler have been elected by a majority
OF one electoral vote. Now, as then, the
three doubtful States ore South Carolina,
Florida aud Louisiana but while both
sides have stoutly claimed all these Stltcs,
we think 1t may now be put down as fairly
settled that South Carolina Is Republican,
and that her electoral votes will be cast for
Hayes aud Wheeler. In Florida, also, the
latest dispatches seem TO render it evident
that a Republican success is well assured.
For thepast two or three days Louisiana
has seemed TO be the most doubtful State
Of the three, but a strong and apparently
we'll substantiated claim Is put forth that
on honest and lawful count OF the votes in
that State will show a decided Republican
victory. The final and definite result can
not be known in any of these States until
their canvassing boards have made and
announced the official count OF the votes,
and ii is by no means certain that the great
question will be fully settled before the
electors meet 10 cast their ballots on the
first Wednesday in December. Prominent
men Of both parties have, by special official
invitation, gone South TO be present at the
counting OF the votes in the doubtful States,
in order, If possible, TO satisfy the country
that everything is done honestly and law
fully.
Below we give the list OF States and cleo
toral votes as II now seems probable that
they will finally stand:
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1876-11-17
FOR TILDEN.

In Louisiana, in the i've black parishes
OF East and West Feliciana, Ouachita,
Morehouse and East Baton Rouge, an al
most or quite unanimous Democratic vote
was thrown, and there is scarcely ques-
ton that this result was obtained by direct
intimidation. The law Of the State instructs
the returning board to cast aside the vote
oiany parish where intimidation is proven,
and ir the vote OF these five parishes is
thrown out, the balance OF the State will
show a handsome Republican majority.
Late dispatches, however, claim that with
these parishes counted in there will still be
a majority for Hayes and Wheeler.

The Republicans of Windham County
have just cause for cougralulaiioa upon the
result Of their efforts in behalf of honest
government, both in September aud on
Tuesday Of last week. Notwithstanding
the establishment OF a Democratic news
paper among us, aud Notwithstanding the
efforts put forth, both in print and upon
the stump, 10 reduce our Republican ma
jorities heretofore given, in raising the
war cry Of Republican corruption" and
democratic rCform," TO say nothing Of
the brag aud blusior OF the lesser lights,
who talked loud and we're always ready to
bet high on "T!den and REFORM" the peo-
pie of this county gave Mr.. Fairbanks, for
Governor, a majority Of 5000, against ma
jOriiy Of $3.50 for Gov. Converse in 1872
making a net gain Of 100 votes. We have
nov received the full vote OF this county
cast on the 9TH inst. for President, and up
on adding up the columns we find that Mr..
Hayes received 1859 and Mr.. Tilden 1858,
against 43l7 for Fairbanks and 1887 for
Bingham in September. II will therefore
lie seen that the Republicans have made a
gain since September Of ~ votes and the
Democrats have lost 20, making net Re-
publican gain Of l0l. Republicans won't
care TO quarrel with Democrats about per
cents, as long as they eau gain two and a
half votes 10 their one. At any rate, we
don't see how Windham County Demo-
Gratis can take any credit to themselves for
the election Of Tilden as President, should
he prove to be elected, nor can it be said
that Windbam County Republicans are in
any manner responsible for the defeat OF
Hayes, should lie prove TO he Defeated
and it now looks most probable that he is
moi.

From official returns received from all
but three towns in this state, the Republic

not heard from gave in September, for Hor-
ace Fairbanks, 1850; for w. II. II. Bing-
ham, 1907. The same ratio now would give
Hayes 1896, Tideu 2O,373; majority for

The democracy are lamenting over tho
curious fact that The admission OF Colorado
into the Union as a Stale has, in effect,
created all this excitement. II Colorado
had not been admitted, Tilden would have
bad clear majority without The doubtful
States. There was no good reason for the
admission Of Colorado, It's population is
not sufiicen. 10 entitle it to a member Of
Congtess. Bat the Democratic House Of
Representatives went in Tor admitting her,
and probably for political reasons.

1t is rather a pleasant coincidence that
Gov. Hayes and Gov. Tilden both issued
their proclamations for Thanksgiving on

There begins to be reason to hope that
the Beeeher case is going out of the courts
and the councils and the churches, and so
out OF public attention. The New York
supreme court having decided that Mr..
Beecher could have Mr.. Moullon's suit
against him transferred 10 the wllds of Del
aware county, Mr. Moulton naturally with
draws it. And we believe no form OF the
case is now pending in any court, ecclesi-
astical or civil.
