The Wounded Kaiser.

BERLIN, June 5.-It is generally
conceded at present that Emperor
William has many chances of recov.
cry. Last night he slept well, awak-
ening at long intervals aud showing
few signs Of restIessness. Although
still suffering from the effects Of bis
wounds, the pain caused by them
has been considerably alleviated
The physicians this morning were
less reticenf than usual, and spoke
encouragiugly. Bulletins are still
sent out at intervals, in order that the
people may be kept informed about
the condition of their sovereign.
Modelling continues id about the
same state as heretofore. This dis.
covery of his relations with certain
unkn0 gn conspirators has determined
the police throughout Germany to
ferret them out. The club rooms
used by the socialists for their meet
ings are being thoroughly rausacked,
and there is every eason to believe
that some important discovery will
shortly be made. Editors of social
istic journals have been arrested and
the publication Of these papers inter
dicted. The police are also availing
themselves of the services Of private
detectives and spies. who will give
the socialists a great deal of trouble.

mock Indians, last Friday, robbed

road, seventy-fve miles from Boise

dians then captured two freight
teams carrying arms, ammunition,
etc.
The fate Of the teamsters is IN
known. Colonel Bernard, with sew
enty cavalrymen aud twenty citizens,
is making a forced march to Camas
prairie. The Indians left in haste on
the approach of the troops. II is
estimated that three hundred Indi-
ans are camped ia the lava beds.
Their position is very strong, and
there is wood, water, and grass
enough to keep them all the summer.
A mass meeting Of the citizens of
this city has just been held TO devise
means TO render assistance to settlers
along the Overland road. The meet
ing was well attended Chief JUS

Governor Brayman was condemned
ia the strongest terms. Fifty men
enrolled themselves to go to the re-
lief Of settlers, but with the express
understanding that they would not
be subject to orders from the Gov.

Board Of State Canvassers would reverse
or attempt to reverse the decision OF the
people by throwing out, under the charge
Of their being illegal, sufficient Democrat
ic votes to alter the result. But 1t was
not thought possible that resort would be
had to the most glaring and vlllainous
fraud
In order to prevent the Returning
Board from going behind the returns,and
altering and changing the same-their
power TO do which under the law the
Democrats steadily denied-the latter
had applied to the Supreme Court for two
separate injunCtions against the board,
one to restrain them from going behind
the returns in the case of the State, and
the other to accomplish the same purpose
in reference to the Presidential contest,
In each case the court had granted pre-.
liminary injunctions, copies of which had
been served on every member of the
board. The counsel of record for the
latter were d. T. Corbin, Robert B. Eli
oft the negro ex.Congressman, and the
Judge Dewey above referred to. But the
real power behind the scenes was tie
Judge Cartier from Washington, who
kept up constant teegraphiC communion
tion with the national authorities in that
city. Chamberlain also spent days and
nights in earnest consultation with the
board and their counsel.
The party of conspirators who had as
sembled IN the Office of the Secretary of
State proceeded to open and verify the
returns, and il 1UaS found that Iilden had
carried The State By oUer one thousand ma
jority of strictly legal UOteS. .......
At once it was determined that such a
result must be reversed, and to effect
this the returns of several Republican
counties were tampered with, so as to in
crease the majorities which they had
really given to Hayes and Wheeler. The
figuring was done by Hayne, Cardoza,
Stone, Dunn and Cartier, and the altera-
ton of the returns was achieved by Dunn
alone, who has since been heard to say
in Washington-while there as an appli-
cant for the Charleston Collectorship of
Customs-that it was his right hand
which had saved South Carolina for
Hayes, and that he could prove it by
Judge Cartier.
A moderately prominent and worthy
Republican living in Columbia has in his
possession one of the pages of paper on
which the figuring was done, all the char
acters Of which, with the names of the
counties, are in the handwriting of F. L.
Cardoza, one of fthe members the board.
The ereturns from Charleston, Georgetown
and Darlington counties were the ones
which were tampered with, and in which
sufficient votes were altered to give the
State to Hayes.
As soon as the Investigating Committee
began its sessions in Columbia, Dunn,
Hayne and Stone fled the State, and have
never since returned there, although from
remarks which have been recently made
by some of Dunn's warmest and most
immediate friends, l think he is just now
in such frame of mind latter losing the
Charleston Collectorship, to which he
thought himself entited), as to induce
him to tell the truth, and to help cleanse
the White House from the presence of
fraudulent usurper F. ]. Moses.
