Of Waterville college.
He taught the winter term Of school in the
Moody district in Cornville and boarded at his
half sisters. Mrs. Theodore Hilton. School was
in Joshua Moody's house. Among the scholars
were Geo. w. Flanders, Hannah Flanders, Eliza.

against the White League democrats. From
North Carolina comes information which
demonstrates beyond doubt that at least two
republican candidates for Congress in that
State were deliberately counted out In the
second district, Mr.. o Hara is known to have
had majority of one thousand, but, by
throwing out the vote of every township in
Edgecombe county which gave republican
majority, and counting the vote of every
township giving democratic majority, with
out for moment considing proof of irregular
and unlawful voting offered against them, the
democratic canvassers, who were absolutely in
control of the polls and the count, declared
that their candidate had been elected. All
over the State the same tactics were resorted
to, and as will be seen by reference to letter
from North Carolina correspondent which
we print this morning, with very much the
same success There is now no doubt that
the notorious Acklen of Louisiana, owes his
so-called election to similar frauds. 1t was
generally conceded on election night that Mr..
Herbert, the republican candidate, had been
elected, and it was not until $500 votes cast
for him had been thrown cut that the result
could be reversed. The leading democratic
of Donaldsonville admits that in
that parish alone three hundred ballots cast
for Hebert were not counted.
There is. of course, little or no hope that
Justice will be done them, but there can he no
doubt that Messrs. Herbert and Ollara have
ample grounds upon which to make contest
for the seats out of which they have been de-
frauded. Hopeless though it be, they should
H axe the effort, not only for their own sakes,
but in the interest Of truth, fair play, and
pure ballot.

Belief of u Witness In He'll.

Judge Joseph Potter. of the Fourth
Judicial District, has been holding cir
cult in this city this week. The suit be-
fore him was entitled: Frank Grover
against Thomas =. Crofutt and Hugh
Herringshaw." Il was brought for
s77S.13. the price Of whiskey furnished
to Crofutt at Yonkers, and the only ques-
tion was whether Herringshaw was Gro
futt's partner. Herringshaw, on the
stand, denied that he was in any way re-
sponsible for Crofutt's actions, except
that he had permitted him to occupy one
of his houses at YonkeTs rent free until
he ''got on his feet" His cross-exanina-
tisn included the following:
Q.-"I believe you have been preach

sharp and quick: 81 once preached from

Q.-"Were you not once among the
