If there are any who still doubt the fact of
the Democratic effort in 1876 to buy up
Presidential elector in Oregon and thus secure
the Office to which they were not entitled, the
complete details of that effort published in the
Tribune of last Wednesday ought to unde-
ceive them. In that paper appeared in con-
secutive order nearly all the dispatches that
we're exchanged between Tiden's agents in
New York and those who had charge of the
transaction in Oregon. They are sixty-one in
number, and nearly all of those which were
sent in cipher are accompanied by the correct
translation. From these it appears clearly
that one of the defeated Democratic electors
was to be commissioned by Governor Grover
(which was done in the person of the notori-
Gus Croninl and one of the two Republican
electors was to be bribed to recognize him and
thus make majority of the electoral college
of the State. There was great deal of dick
ering about the price, but it was at length
settled at $4,000, with $4,000 more for Re-
publican editor to back up the proceeding in
his newspaper. The plot worked we'll, being
managed by skillful political manpulators,
until il came TO the transmission of the mon
ey from New York The trouble was that
Pelton Tor Tilden) wanted the payment made
contingent on result in March, and increm-
able slightly if necessary" Through this hes
itation the remittance was delayed until the
morning the electors met, when Patrick tie
dirty-work agent in Oregon, had become dis
gusted and left for San Francisco. Mean
while the plotters in New York were in high
glee over their supposed success, which soon
after came to melancholy end. Many of the
secret dispatches were addressed to and sent
from Is Gramercy Park, Tilden's private res
idence, and 115 Liberty street, where the
Democratic headquarters were kept, and it is
idle to suppose that the crafty old politician

which so deeply concerned him. Altogether
these remarkable dispatches, which the Tri-
5une has so industriously unearthed and trans
lated, have historical value in relation to the
political contests of the future that can scarce
" be overrated.

OUR FRENCHTOWN LETTER.

FRENcHTowN, Sept. 10, 1878.
A heavy thunder shower occurred at French
town on Wednesday afternoon, doing consid-
cradle damage to the roads and bridges here,
and in the adjoining townships. The barn of
Hugh Sinclair, about one and half miles
from here, was struck by lightning, and with
the contents was entirely consumed, par

exertons of the firemen with the Visilant
engine, which did good service. The dwell
ing house of Jonathan Kugler, about one-quar-
ter of mile from Mr.. Sinclair's was struck and
the weather-boards torn off and the fluid
passed down the rods to the well and then
into the well. The barn of Charles B. Suy-
dam, in Frenchtown, was also struck and
slightly damaged.
There are lively times among the mechan-
les. All are busy, and several strange faces
are seen on our streets every day seeking
work.
The election for school trustee was largely
attended. The license men made an issue and
were defeated. DIR. E. X. Deemy, gentle
man we'll qualified, was elected trustee for
three years. $3.50 was voted to be raised to
keep the school open ten months and for in
cidental expenses.
The building of the new banking house,
has been awarded to John L. Slack, of this
place. The amount, we understand is not
made public for some reason unknown to your
correspondent. There is some dissatisfaction
among the stockholders in regard to the loca-
ton of the building, but you can't please ev-

The pavilion was crowded during the day,
and among the visitors were numbers from
Lambertville and vicinity. Solebury turned
out en- masse, and a finer and moreintelligent
body of people it would be difficult to gather
together.
In the afternoon, some literary exercises
took place. Mr.. VIM. c. Blackfan, acted as
chairman. VIM. Parry, of Cnnaminson, N.
j., delivered an address ON fruit and its cul-
ture Capt. Watson P. Magill spoke respect
ing the Club and its history. VIM. Reeder
gave sketch of the settlement of Solebury,
and some interesting facts concerning it's his
tory. A poem written by DIR. Jos. B. Walter
was read by Miss Achsah Paxson. Hon. Geo.
Lear, who was expected to deliver an address,
was not present. This closed the afternoons
exercises.

1t would be difficult to say who made the
best speech of the evening, as every one did
himself or herself credit, but the address of
Carroll r. Williams and VIM. G. Ryan, are
worthy of special notice, coming from quite
young men, and the speeches of Hugh B. East

The Warren Journals exercised in mind
because some Republican papers are violating
the post Office law by sending " campaign cir
culars " as supplements. OF course the editor
of the Journal is an adept in post Office law,
and if his rulings are correct, he will hereaf-
ter keep out of his paper supplements printed
in Trenton, containing the Governors mes
sage. The editor of the Hunterdon Democrat,
(who copies the article into his editorial col
umns) will also omit the supplements, printed
in neighboring city, which he has been fold
ing into his sheet. The editor of the journal
had better confine himself to violations of law
in his own county. For years, right under
the editors nose, the most astounding rascal
ity has been committed by the editors party
friends, and he has either not had that ordi-
nary perception which would enable him to
discover it, or has not had the inclination or
courage to denounce it.

FREEDOM INvIsIBLE.-Says an exchange 4:
"Mark the conciliatory tone of the South
err brother. The Charleston News, speaking
of the possibility of the Republicans seeking
to enter the Fall campaign in that State,
sweetly sings The Democracy must at
once assume the offensive and give the chief
knaves no quarter. 1t is likewise the duty of
Democrats to go to radical meetings and in
sist on being heard for unless this be done
the masses of the colored people will remain
at the mercy of the INSCRIPTIONS demagogues
who have their ear. The Democrats must
divide time, and pursue to the bitter end, in
the courts, every radical now under charges,
who has joined in sandering the Democracy
and opposes their candidates. Lberate few
more Illicit distillers, Bro. Hayes, by way of
reciprocity of conciliatory feeling"

THE SToRM.-The storm in various parts
of the county, last Wednesday, was uncom-
monty severe. We hear of roads being badly
washed, small bridges and fences carried
away, and other destruction accomplished by
high water. More rain fell in few hours
than the oldest citizens ever before remember
to have seen in the same length of time.
The barn of Hugh Sinclair, midway between
Frenchtown and Everittstown, was struck by
lightning and with its contents entirely de-
stroyed. 1t was with great difficulty that the
adjoining wagon-house was saved. The
Frenchtown Fire Department was on hand,
but too late to be of service. There was an
insurance of 1915 on the building in the
Farmers Mutual of Readington.
The dwelling house of Jonathan Kugler,
situated near Mr. Sincair's, was struck and
slightly damaged, as was also the barn of
Charles B. Suydam, in Frenchtown. A horse
in the stable was injured about the head.
Isaac Frye, farmer living on Elias Rupell's
place, {near Mcchling's, had horse killed by
lightning.
The South Branch rose to prodigious
height, as did its tributaries. The low lands
were overlooked and the waters rushed along
with frightful fury. Some live stock was seen
in the Branch being carried to its destruction
with irresistible force. Twenty sheep belong
ing to Phillip G. Brown, of Raritan township,
were lost, we understand, they having been
swept from the lowlands into the Branch
Democrat.

The triumph of the Democracy in 1880,
says the Okolona Miss States, means that
negro suffrage and centralism will be wiped
out /; it means that the checks and balances of
Federal Republic will be restored it means,
in word, that our people will put their heel
on the reptile of Radicalism, and crush its
head into jelly. That is just what it
means" Will put their heel, the heel of the
Confederate traitor, upon loyalty to the Con-
stitution and the Union, upon loyalty to Free
dom and free institutions and the prosperity
and advancement of the masses. What say
our loyal people? What say the Boys in
Blue?" Will they submit?

John A. Anderson Esq, of this city,
Supt. of the Belvidere Division of the Penna
r. r., returned home from his trip to Coora-
do on last Friday evening. At Trenton a
special car met him, on "a table in which was
handsome floral display provided by friends.
The railroad men at Coalport knowing of his
expected arrival, had their flags flying and
their Office decorated with evergreens and the
motto Welcome Home.' The engine of the
train was also decorated. His brother, Ma
jor Edw. j. Anderson, and a number of rail
road officials, met him at Trenton. At this
city, the flag at the depot was run up, and
during the evening many friends called at his
residence to greet him. His health, we are
glad to know, has been improved by his visit
tie the West.
