THE SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION
FRAUDS.
Ballot Box stufing by the Wholesale.

New YORK, November ii. The Times WASH
ington special says that Congressman Msckav,
who was the republican candidate for congress on
Tuesday last, in the Charleston, South Carolina
the methods adopted BY the democrats to make
that Stale solid.
Mackay, after describing the numerous in
stances Of violence practiced upon republicans.
says that most outrageous cases Of ballot box
stufing occurred at the polls in ward 8, Charles
ton. At the Palmetto engine house, polling place
democratic manager W. b. Daggett, foreman of
the News and Courier job printing Office, stuffed
25OO false tickets into the box. After the polls
closed the managers finding that there 1869 bal
lots in the box, declined to throw out any, but
counted them all, and returned the vote of that
poll o. 46i for Mackey and 3,l0S for OCounor.
At the other poll in this ward, the same act was
performed, and its managers returned III for
Msckey and !, 1865 for OConner, so that one ward
out Of eight in this city, was made to give ma
jority of 500 for O'Coanor.
The utter imp0ssibility of the voting of 3 500
persons 1t one poll in twelve hours needs hardly
to be refuted. As the managers examined each
vote separately and in many cases consumed from
is safe to say the average time consumed in voting
for each man Was one minute, which would allow
72O persons to vote, provided there WAS conlinu-
Gus stream Of voters for twelve hours. By this
method Charleston 10 made to give O'Connor .
majority Of 6525. or . majority larger than the
tire democratic vote of the city.
Throughout the county and district boxes were
stuffed in the same way. Not satisfied with stuff
ing boxes, the democrats, finding it impossible to
stotf the bsllotSbox ct WASH agton engine house,
ward six, because of the vigilance Of the United
States supervisor put out the lights, stole the box
| and destroyed it, because l had . majority of
| about 500 there.
On Edisto Island. where 1000 republican voters
reside, and where the democrats have only about
40 or so votes, the democratic commissioners fail
ed to open the polls, thus actually DISTINGUISHING
these voters.
A Columbia despatch says the frauds on the bal
lot boxes stsgers belief Civil strife was pas
time oil during election day, and was not made
any secret. The tissue paper tickets are general
throughout. showing that they smanated from
headquarters.
