A man in destitute circumstances, with a
family nearly starving, went to Mr.. Gillette to

Bloody Fraud THaGkeys
New York SUM-


Some Of the South Carolina people who
were CALLED by Mackeys charges have gone
to work in the right way to make a defense
Mackey charged one W. L. Daggett, foreman
Of the Charleston Ne,ra and Courier job office
and an election manager, with stuffing TWEEN
ty-tive hundred fraudulent votes at one poll.
Mr.. Daggett's paper pronounces this story
a fragrant le and he has instituted crimi-
nal proceedings for libel against Mackey.
The latter, by tie way, has already
had q hard time keeping out Of the
hands of the law. Congress has
actually convicted him of the crimes which
he now lays at the door of his Democratic
competitor. In 1874, as WAS stated in the
Times day or two ago, Buttz, another Re
publican, contested Mackey's seat in the
House OF Representatives on the ground that
his majority was procured by general fraud
and illegality." including bribery and intimi-
dation. A thorough Investigation sustained
the charge, and Mackey was kicked
out. Since then he was Speaker Of
a rump Legislature at Columbia, and
is charged with organizing gang OF
roughs to drive out the Democratic legisa-
tors, in the hope that a fight would ensue
and necesstate miitaryintervention il behalf
OF the Republicans. At this time he Is under
formal presentment for levying baCkmail to
the amount of $4,000 upon a Federal official,
and for defrauding the city of Charleston by
employing in and about his own house for his
own benefit labOrpTs who We're hired and paid
by the city. All this does not disprove his
charges against the Democrats, but it shows
that not much weight is to attached to his
testimony on any subject,

responsibility for the neglect and inefficiency
of his officer, had he not, on the eleventh in

he forgot himself, and assumed the re-

tion, especially to the inelf1ciency, If nothing

an officer of elections, A large volunteer

act as challengers to fraudulent voters.
They were SO far successful as to pre-
vent the use OF several thousands OF
the fraudulent registration papers
which had been prepared for the use OF " re-
peaters.i The principal security relied upon
to compel q fair count OF the votesaS actually
cast was the power and duty OF the United

" to support and protect the United States
supervisors Of election in the discharge Of
their duties' in connection with the count.
The leaders of the rabble, prevented from
