FRAUDULENT lNECElPTS- y numerous |
arrests of negroes for voting in this city |
ut the inspectors election, upon fraudu- |
lent receipts have been made. In mos
instances guilt has been in part confessed
by waving a hearing and giving some
white Republican politician as bail The
negroes cannot read and they have been
grossly imposed upon by the scoundrels
who have been either giving or selling
these receipts, or giving them where the
negroes had no money to buy. This is
a new feature of robbery that the Repub-
hcans have put in practice. 1t is not
only robbing the county treasury of so
much tax; but it is imperiling the Negroes
liberty, and exposing him to fine and I'M
Prisonnlent, as well rs inducing him in
some cases to take Il false oath. The law
makes no excuse for ignorance, and
therefore the negroes who are trapped
into thus voting illegally will have to
stand the punishment, while those who
gave or sold him the fraudulent receipts
will laugh " hen his calamity comes upon
him, as they did when the negro who
assaulted and saught TO kill John T..
Cochran, ESD, the present Governor, at
The polls several years ago, 1t will be
remembered that this negro made Il
speech in court after he was convicted.
IN which lie told the jury and white Re
pubicans present that he was induced to
commit the outrage by men of that party
who forsook him in his trouble.

and in each county, to beware of these
, counterfeit receipts they have been print
ed and stamped to be used wherever thes
can find negro or white Republican t.
deceive into their use. Captain Gala
CHER has told several Democrats in TIL
city that he was offered 80 and 80 of then
in bunch for so much money addin
that he tcOuM not buy them or hare an,
ittaJ to do wiM item. One Democra
went so far as to tell the Captain that
they were offered to him he bought then
But this was stoutly denied He is to
old bird to be caught be chat
no doubt. If n man were to offer us
bundle of forged receipts we think W
would treat such party as we would on
who would offer us pack of counterfe
notes, turn him over to the police.
These receipts are not easily detccte
until You examine them infinitely. 1t
likely there were some five or six I'M
bred used in this city at the Little Elc
ion" and as they We're stamped wi
both the Collectors and INSPECTOR
stamp, and the negroes have been to
they could not use them again witho
the danger of being discovered, son
may have been destroyed but mo
likely they have been given to 9th
negroes in the different Hundreds to vo
upon; the negroes here who used the
thinking others were readily obtained.
Now we'hope our country friends W
keep watch for these counterfeits n,
destroy or keep every one of them. a,
have every negro who uses them fro
this time punished to the extent of +,
law. Captain Gallagher owes it ia II
county and to the honest men of n
community to point out the man who
Tered to sell them to him. He ought TO
putin limbo to keepthe negroes compal
This is the liberty the Radical party gi
the negro-deceive him into crime II
they may enjoy official emoluments a
leave him to the piUory, lash and impriS
nIent.
