Fall Voting.

In less than month from now the Ameri-
can citizen will begin to express his opinion
at the polls on political questions. On the
9th of August Alabama and Kentucky, both
democratic States, choose legislatures. On
the 5th Of September California and Ver-
mont, and on the 10th Maine, hold
their elections These three States
have been republican. The democrats hope
to carry California. All three choose mem
bers of the Legislature, and Maine and Yer
mont a State ticket also. On the Cd of
October Ohio, Iowa and Colorado elect
members of the Legislature, and the two
first named Governors also. Ohio is q
doubtful State, Iowa is republican, Colo
RADIO probably SO.
On the 9Th Of November Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Texas, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Nevada hold elections. In eight Of
bers of the Legislature are to be chosen.
OF the thirteen Massachusetts,, Minnesota
and Nevada will go republican; New Jersey,
Wisconsin and perhaps Pennsylvania are
thought to be doubtful, and the remainder
are probably democratic
OF the whole list of twenty-one States it
will be seen that the republicans are certain
of only five States, the democrats are GER
tain OF nine, and seven others are doubtful,
with the chances at this time in most of
them in favor of the democrats.

The swiIl Milk Trial.

The prosecution of Gaff, Fleischnann &
Co., owners or keepers of distillery, in
dicted under the law for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, was begun yesterday
but did not make great progress. One of
the witnesses sworn testified. however, to q
point that is of incidental consequence
namely, what persons constitute the firm
OF Gaff Fleischmann 4 Co.? This witness
was the deputy collector of internal reve-
nue. for the district. He swore that
the names of the members of the
firm incriminated were James w. Gaff,
Charles Fleischmann, Maximilian Fleisch-
mann, Louis Fleischmann and Leopold Blier.
AS it was his duty in the course Of business
to know who were the members Of the firm,
he is doubtless a good authority on this
point Mr. Bergh testified as to the way
the cows were kept in the stable-his testi-
mony agreeing fully with the account hith-
erto given in the HERALD.

A Novelty in city Government.

If anybody doubts that this is an "era
OF economy and reform" let him read the
following resolutions, adopted the other
day by the Brooklyn Board OF Works:--
Whereas the duties devoving upon tho Board are
purely OF q business character having no relation
whatever to State or national politics; therefore,
Resolved. That this Board, In the discharge OF Its
duties, will not hereafter bc Influenced by political
considerations, but will earnestly endcavor To DC gov
crncd by tho principles that govern men In the
transaction oil their private business and that TO
carry this resolution into execution, the various
branches OF tho department shall be reduced py the
consolidation OF all such can properly be brought
under one head.
Resolved, That this Board will forthwith proceed to
reduce and consolidate the several bureaus Of this do
partment lar such reduction and con soidation
can be made without detriment TO the public service
What is not less wonderful is that the res
olutions bore fruit almost Immediately. On
Monday, July 8, the Board. by the consoli-
dation OF departments and the reduction of
salaries, effected saving of about twenty
five thousand dollars per annum. The
Brooklyn politicians are in very unhappy
frame OF mind. They think this Southern
policy is oil wrong, and that 1--WE are ruined

A Dema gogue,s BID.

Alderman Bryan Reilly, like the man in
the play, is always anxious to push himself
forward to the footlights as the champion
of card 'anded labor" At the meeting
OF the Board on Tuesday last he introduced
resolution directing the several municipal
departments to insert in all contracts o
clause requiring the contractor to pay to
unskilled laborers the rates low paid by
the departments for day labor. Of course
even Alderman Bryan Reilly knows that
such proposition is illegal and ridiculous,
and that the law, which requires all city
work to be let by contract to the lowest re.
sponsible bidder, would not warrant the
imposition of any such condition any more
than it would authorize the head of de-
partment to bind contractor to pay stipu-
lated sum above the market price for the
material he uses. But it suits Alderman
Reilly to use this sort Of nonsensical dema-
gogisn, because he hopes thereby to
make himself popular with the ''masses"
and to push himself forward for some more
friend of the workingman.
Politicians OF Mr.. Reillys capacity, how
ever, make the fatal mistake of believing
that the laboring classes of the United
States are as stolid and ignorant as the Ia
borers Of Europe. They are conceited
enough to suppose that the workingmen of
New York can be as easily imposed upon as
the agricultural laborers Of Great Britain.
But probably four out Of every five of the
men who are regarded by Alderman Reilly
as mere dolts are shrewd enough to see
through his object and to know that the
proposition he makes is an absurdity. They
have sufficient intelligence 10 know that
honest, economical, business-like manage
ment on the part Of those who administer
the city government, is the best aid that can
be extended to respectable labor, and to
recognize in the demagogues who treat them
as so many fools their most mischievous
enemies.

How tho Canal Business Looks.

How tho Canal Business Looks.
The Canal Board has initiated the practi-
cal work of selling the lateral canals, with
proposition to appoint appraisers to value
the locks, bridges and water privileges of
Crooked Lake Canal, in order that it may be
disposed of as speedily as possible. This is
o very small item in the saving to be effected
by the sale of the laterals. the Crooked Lake
Canal having realized last year only thirty
dollars income and cost sixteen hundred
dollars for maintenance Still, it is some
thing, as the commencement of long de-
sired policy and the Canal Board should
lose no time in carrying out the law and get
ting rid of all these useless encumbrances.
The income of the Erie Canal last year in
excess of all payments was, in round num-
bers, one hundred and thirty-four thousand
dollars, and the payments in excess Of in
come on the remaining canals reached three
hundred and six thousand dollars. OF
this one hundred thousand dollars was
thrown away on tho laterals, and
if we were free of them this year
the saving effected would go far toward
m aking up any deficiency of revenue
from low tolls. No action is reported to
have been taken on the question of increas-
ing the tolls at Tuesdays meeting In
deed, the results of the season thus far so
well Justify the low toll policy that it is not
probable any retrograde movement will
take place. The receipts of grain in New
York this year by water transportation have
very largely increased over those Of last
year on comparison with the whole amount
forwarded to the seaboard, proving that the
low toll policy has worked adyantageously
for the metropolis. We have yet before us
the prospect of an unusually active move
ment of grain in the autumn; hence the
final prospects Of the season are by no
means discouraging Certainly there is
nothing to warrant the abandonment Of the
policy at this time.

A TENNESSEE TRAGEDY.

HANGING OF PROMINENT CITIZEN By MOB
FOR SUSPECTED SEDUCTION AND MURDER.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.l
NASHVILLE, July II. 1877.
Tho following Is a full Nashville American special
despatch from Bowling Green, KY, relative to the
Allen county crime:-
Allen county has recently been the scene of q hor-
ribe crime A. Point Oliver. some ten miles from
scot,svie, tho county seat Miss Burton was missed
from her homo and tidings could be heard OF her
whereabouts for q wock, when her dead body was
found IN q secluded SPOT not far from the rest
denco OF her brothcr-inaw, George Stark. with
two bullet holes her head and her body in an
advanced stage OF decomposition. Investigation
pointed criminal intimacy between her and Stark,
and to him N tho murderer. He was arrested, placed
under guard at Scottsvc, ana hts preliminary trial
commenced yesterday. This afternoon the stage
driver from Scottsvlie brings intelligence that body
Of mon, supposed to be relatives OF the young LADY,
took Stark from his guards ~ twelve O'Clock last
night and hung him.
Therc seems to have boon good chance for his
acuuitli there lack OF positive proof against
him. yet citizens generally believe him guilty. Stark
was OF good family, and bad stood well heretofore
The people oil Allen county are peaccabe and law
abiding and nothing OF this Kind has happened there
since hanging two negroes about the close OF the
war for the murder OF their former owner.

The Bracket Mystery.

1t turns out, as we supposed, that Mr..
Bracket, Special Agent of the Revenue,
has not been removed. Knowing that he was
highly thought OF in the Treasury Depart
ment we did not credit the rumors of his
removal. But it seems that there was q
purpose to assign him to different duty !;
and rs he has been for some time very sue
cessfully engaged in the discovery of silk
smugglers and is even now understood to
be working up some cases of this kind, the
public is curious to know why he should be
suddenly interrupted in these labors and
sent elsewhere, and what influences worked
to secure this change? 1t is hardly to be
expected that the Secretary of the Treasury
should himself be familiar with the detail $
Of such work as Mr.. Brackets, but some
one in the department, responsible to him,
is, and we should like to hear his reasons.
Especially we should like to hear the rca-
sons which induced the appointment of
accounts of Mr. Weeks agree that he is Il
political manager of peculiarly odious
kind--the leader OF secret political society
of the Native American or Know Nothing
order, and that this is his chiefmerit. Ifthis
is true the Secretary or the Acting Secretary
OF the Treasury has been made the victim
of influences whose purpose he did not
guess and we advise him to follow Mt once
the sound rule already on several occasions
applied in such cases by the President him
self. Let him give TO the public the names
of the persons who led him to substitute
Weeks for Bracket Such changes are made
either for definite and proper purpose,
which can easily be shown, or at the sug-
gestion or solicitation of outside persons,
who may justly be held to their RESPONSE
bility by publishing their names.

How to Deal with ira m ps.

The tramp, nuisance which q few years
ago was almost as unknown in this country
as the potato bug, has again appeared, and,
like the bug, chooses the most fertile regions
fc1 his ravages Quite number of out
RACES and depredations have been reported,
and it il certain that unless strong rcpres-
siyo measures are ut once taken the dis
graceful scenes of the past two or
three years will be repeated in our rural
districts this summer. An indication of
what may he expected is found in the as
saults on farm houses, the insults to unprc-
tected women, and in the murder of child
recently in Pennsylvania. When the tramp
first appeared he was not understood, and
was supposed to be deserving object of
charity - poor man unable to find
work in the cities and seeking honest
employment in the country. Kind-hearted
farmers wives looked upon him with com
passion, gave him food end sometimes
money to help him on his way But as the
beegars became prosperous they grew proud,
and found that to ask was easier than to earn.
Tramping became as fashionable with this
insolent class rs pedestrian tours are with
Young gentlemen. The lazzaroni of the
city, who live by theft and aims during
the winter, find it profitable to their
rockets and conducive to their health to
practise the same arts in the country during
The New York herald., 1877-07-12

tie summer. They are organized now and
have made tramping one of the nxed
sciences. When it has reached this stage
we know how to deal with it, for the evil
has developed into tangible form. 1t is
no longer to be dealt with by individuals,
but to be suppressed by the united efforts
of communities. Instead of arresting
now and then the tramp who robs
house, insults q woman, OF commits
murder, society should array itself against
the system which makes such crimes CON-
mon. 1t should deal directly with the
cause and not merely with the effects. The
citizens of every county where the tramp
has become nuisance and danger should
take measures to make him wish he had
never entered it. Whenever the bully
and beggar makes his appearance he
should be put to work, the great
est punishment that he could suffer.
II he commits crime he should receive
the fullest penalty the law allows. Should
this method be adopted and enforced with
unmitigated severity by the officials of every
county it would not be long before these
bands of outaws-for they are nothing less
would discover that robbery under the dis
guise OF beggary is a business even more
intolerable than legitimate work.

harm the Russians greatly, but they will
scourge any district that is found untenable
and from which the Ottoman army Is COM
PEELED to retire. No doubt it is acknowledged
as their function in the plan of the war that
they must make waste places of such dis
tricts, and it is conceivable that they will
perform energeticallya duty so distinctly in
the current OF their tastes.
But it will be found that this scourge
will cut both ways There is natural
attraction for this sort of military tim
ber IN great city, and an uncontrol-
liable mass of these barbarians inevi-
tably gravitates toward Constantinople.
They cannot be driven to the front, and
the moment when they will have absolute
possession of the Sultan's capital is not re-
mote. Then they will be "the people" and
will make revolutions They will be the
power behind the fanatcal audacity of the
softas. They would only last week have
deposed Abdul Hamid rs previously they
did his predecessors, but that there was lnil-
itary force at hand to control them. As
the exigencies on the Danube enforce the
WITHDRAWAL OF regiment after regiment from
the capital it will be left more and more at
the mercy of these banded cutthroats, and
they will practise in the streets of Stamboul
that which it was intended they should
practise exclusively in Bulgaria or other
Christian provinces: for the Moslems of the
capital, in virtue of some varnish Of civiliza-
ton, are as remote from the sympathios Of
these creatures rs are the Christians them
selves.
