HARD TIMES IN THE CITY.

A leading paper OF Philadelphia as
aerts that the average incomes OF the
people Of that city are but one-ffth OF
what they were one year ago, AL
though this statement is doubtless eX-
aggerated, yet it has foundation OF
truth and is just as applicable to most
other cities as to Philadelphia. This
mention refers to people of means, and,
when it is remembered that every
cramping OF capitalist cuts down the
income or throws entirely out OF work
many who are dependent upon him, the
result of the hard times becomes pain
fully apparent. The number of unem-
ployed in this city is proportionately
less than in most other places, because
our business affairs were always man
aged on a frmer basis, and we have,
therefore, had fewer great failures,
and employers have had to resort to
less cutting down of force when there
was not an immediate demand for the
articles produced. Nevertheless, the
uestitution here has been, and is, very
great; thousands OF people anxious for
work at almost any price are compelled
to remain idle, or, at most, work but
very small part OF the time. Many ol
these could materially improve theiI
condition by going to the country

A BLIsSFUL PIG The Henry County
(MO,) Democrat relates that "a citizen
Of Sedalia passing along N. H. Gentry's
lalm saw negro busily engaged in
swinging huge ian over the prostrate
form Of a SOW. The sow was named the
Duchess, fine blooded animal pur-
chased by Mr.. Gentry with two others,
the three costing the sum OF 81, 800. She
has six pigs, and a negro man is con-
stantly watching that the mother may
not lie down on the little fellows and
XIII them. The SOW weighs between six
hundred and seven hundred pounds,
and during the warm weather must re-
ceiye the undivided attention of a
waiter, whose duties are to sprinkle
water on her and fan her. This Will not
amaze the reader when he considers
that the value OF the SOW and her pigs is

SLEEP is THE BEST STIMULANT.-The

FLORIDA'S BLACK SNAKES.

One o. your correspondence, writes OF

This | have not myself seen, but In
Florida, where the rattlesnakes are
numerous and large, it is universally
believed that they are killed
and eaten by the large black
snake, called the pinesnake or gopher
snake, from its habit of occupying the
hole OF the gopher or land tortoise.

GREAT FRAUD Nv VOTING.
Eight Thousand Votes Illegally Cast
in San Francisco Last November.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Jan. 25.-According
TO our directory, San Francisco has pop
ulation of 292, 900. OF this number $4,000
are Cinnamon, At the election last No
yember 42,423 votes were polled, being
less than one vote for every six inhabitants.
And it is an open question whether we
have 252.OOO peoplesin this city exclusive
of the Chinese.
The highest vote previously polled was
less than 2S. 900, and the highest number
of registrations was less than $4,000; yet
last November 40, 423 votes were polled.
The registration list closed thirty days
before the election. After that time APP
plicants made an oath of their citizenship
and place of residence, and we're given
certificate of registration, During the
thirty days Immediately preceding the
election about $4,000 of these certificates
were issued. The certificates were simply
vouchers from the county clerk that the
mau's name was on the great register and
that he was entitled to vote.
The law plainly provides that if mans
name was not enrolled on the great regis
ter he was not entitled to vote. The
county clerk did not enroll those names
on a supplemental register, but, after the
election, he took these $4,000 afhdavits
upon which he granted those voting GER
tifcates, and made out a register from the
afhdavits. These $4,000 names not being
on the register on election day, there was
no opportunity to challenge them or pre-
vent fraud. As guard against fraud
the law requires that every mans name
shall be on the register and exposed to
the public at the polling place. Yet, here
were $1,000 voters who came up at the
last moment like an ambuscaded army,
clear violation of law.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company
wanted to send pliable man to congress.
Piper, the present representative from this
district, besides being a hard Democrat, is
q strong railroad man. He is worth about
$1,000, 900, and cannot be influenced by
this monopoly, Therefore it was necessary
to defeat him. And it was done by false
registration and voting early and often.
Of course, majority Of the $4,000 who
voted on certificates. we're really voters,
being newly made citizens transfers, and
those who put off everything until the last
moment. 1t is claimed that between 200
and 5000 we're repeaters. But the county
clerk, in his desire to register these re.
peaters as well as the other applicants,
was so pressed for time that he was unable
to enroll the names on the register and
have it printed for inspection. Hence the
entire $4,000 votes were illegal
The matter is now being investigated

Afraid of the Truth.

Republicans seem TO be much elated
because the Electoral Commission decided
not to enquire into frauds at the ballot
box, but only to ascertain whether the
persons certified as electors we're properly
commissioned, and were eligible to the
Office. The Democrats not only desired
to do this, but they desired to expose and
show up every act even to the day Of
election, and how the people voted, and
show that they have a clear title to the
election of Tilden and Hendricks, They
wanted nothing hidden or concealed. The
Chicago Times says:
Three months ago, it was vehmently
declared by some Of the party spokesman
for Mr.. Hayes that he would never con-
sent to assume the presidential office upon
any basis tainted by even suspicion Of
fraud. The declaration was a mere ex.
preston of partisan hypocrisy, as facts
very soon proved The concluding proof
has been furnished by the leading counsel
Tor Mr. Hayes, who contends that the
truth can not be given in evidence, and
rests the case of his client upon an asser-
ton Of his right to be counted in" upon
basis not only tainted with the suspicion
Of fraud, but damned by the most positive
proof Of fraud. Mr.. Hayes and his law
yers can not and dare not meet the truth.
They know that upon the truth they have
no case.
As a rule, public opinion and sympathy
are on the side Of truth and honesty. The
man who seeks to gain advantage by false
hood, or by concealment or evasion of
what is truth, society is apt to regard sus-
piciously, as rogues are regarded. The
sutton, or his attorney, who seeks to ex-
clude the truth from evidence and rests
his cause upon a denial that the truth
ought to be proved, is very apt to find
the conscience Of the jury against him.
So Mr.. Eyarts and his client will find the
conscience Of the American people. By
his attempt to exclude the truth from
evidence, demanding judgement for his
client upon mere technical form behind
which is both the truth and the falsehood,
the real and the rotten and corrupt. Mr..
Evarts has damned the cause of Mr..
Hayes in the conscience of an upright
people.
