Ballot Box Mysteries.

On the 26th ult the HRRALp gave its read
ers the opinions of prominent South Caro-
lima democrats upon the late election in
their State. The republican side of the
question is distinctly presented to-day in
letter from Mr.. +. w. Nj. Mackey who
was counted out in the Second Congress
sional district. Mr.. Mackeys statement is
full of figures and comparisons which
can hardly fail to provoke replies. He
charges that in two precincts of a single
ward in Charleston the ballot boxes were
s'stuffed" with tissue paper tickets, in dia-
mond type, to the number Of thirty-six
hundred; that in some wards, where the
polling places were said to be SO obstructed
through the entire day by negroes as to
render it almost impossible for white
democrat to vote. there we're, according to
the count, large democratic majorities,
while in the remainder the democratic vote
nearly equalled tina. of the republicans;
that in cases where the vote ex-
ceeded the poll list the superfuous
tickets were withdrawn by the sense
Of touch, with the result that nearly
oil tickets so removed were of the larger or
republican variety that the increase Of
the vote of Charleston over the same city's
vote in the Presidential election of 1876 was
twenty-five per cent, which cannot be hon.
estly explained, and that in eleven out of
the nineteen boxes in Orangeburg county
the tickets exceeded the poll lists by nearly
two thousand. The democratic explana-
ton of these apparently truthful figures
will be awaited with interest.

Another Millionnaire's Money.

The will OF the late Mr.. O'Brien, of boz
nanza fame, is in danger of being included in
the dismal list of last testaments which
is blessing lawyers, cursing surrogates
and scandalizing claimants and testators
with rigid impartiality. Our special de-
spatch, with details of the physical and
financial circumstances of the dead million
naire's brother, the unexpected appearance
OF a self-reputed wife and child of the sick
man, and the latter's abrupt and mysterious
departure with his supposed family, reads
like strained romance, but the two mill
ions of dollars which are involved give the
story a. basis of admirable solidity. The
inferences which the public will naturally
make will, OF course. be complimentary to
the family affection which prompted the
women to leave dying man to depart this
life in poverty, peace and in ignorance Of
the loving relatives who were to mourn his
loss, while the influences under which their
treatment altered will not easily escape
recognition. Meanwhile, there will be some
sceptical people who will recall other estates
which have attracted the attention of per-
sons who have been supposed to be under
ground, and whose Identification lacked
somewhat Of completeness. The story as it
stands is certainly. incomplete enough to
consume every reader with wonder as to
what is coming next

''Onensive and Insulting to Members
OF the Press"

In the complaint of Mr.. Harkins against
his partner, Mr.. Fiske, one of the lessees Of
the Fifth Avenue Theatre, appears the
above specification. We do not know the
merits or demerits of either party to the
suit which has been begun, but if Mr..
Fiske's offensive and insulting" conduct
toward the press consisted only of neglect
to offer free passes to editors and reporters
and to respond to demands for such atten-
tions, he has complimented the press more
than he has offended it. Mere information,
such MS any one has right to ask, is easily
obtained from theatre managers by news
paper representatives, and here the rela-
tions of the two properly end. Managers
are likely to be m ore frequently offensive"
by offering courtesies which are not de-
sired than by disregarding any legitimate
request which the press may make.

Strikes ami Failures i'm England.
With what friction the adjustment of the
relations between labor and capital IN the
United Kingdom is attended can be seen in
the cable dispatches Out OF the depression
of trade the capitalist sees no way but by
reduction OF the price of labor, and labor
sees no way to stop it but by going
on strike. Then the capitalist suffers a
little and the laborer great deal. In
nine cases out of ten capital wins, and
the laborer returns, grumbling. to work. In
the cotton, coal and iron trades the strug-
gle is very bitter 1t is gratifying to
observe that in one case the dispute
about a FIVE per cent reduction has
been referred to arbitration, and it is
give the grounds on which they base their
decision, as we'll as the decision itself. The
coal miners Of South Yorkshire are prepar-
ing to resist reduction Of pay, and the
amalgamated engineers are ready to re-
sist an attempt to increase their hours
the depression of business, of which o
further idea may be formed by the record
of failures for 1878. They are in all
l5,O59, or 4,037 more than in 1877. OF
these 2,643 are of large concerns, tho
Glasgow Bank. with it's thirty million
dollars Of deficit, heading the list. No
symptom of recovery from this state
of affairs is yet visible. Wages pairing and
profit shaving may help English trade a
trife, but its great days are gone beyond
recovery. 1t can no longer monopolize the
markets of the world, and where it has re-
Gently lost ground another has taken its
place. It is Americas turn.

An Indian war-on Paper.

The Secretary of the Interior having called
upon General Sheridan for specifications in
support of his late charges against the exist
ing management of Indian affairs, the Gen.
eral has written reply which has probably
a great deal more in it than the Secretary
will care to read with the whole nation look
ing over his shoulder Aside from the
specific information given by the letter pub
lished yesterday, the statement that the
material upon which the charges were based
had already been transmitted by the War
Department to that of the Interior, as is the
case with all military documents relating to
Indian affairs, embodies some unpleasant
suggestions of carelessness, to say the least,
in the Interior Department The public is
SO accustomed to hear of fraud and
mismanagement in Indian affNirs, even
when honest ind ablesmen are .nominally
in control ;of fthek bureau, thutit will natu-
rally regard lthe Secretary eself- Implied ig-
norance Aas oonly another nproof of the
trickery and aduplicitys which seem to have
been just beneath the surface ofnearly all
dealings with or for the Indians since the
red men became the nations wards. The
Secretary has admitted that the Indian
Bureau is and has been an incubus upon
the Interior Department, and the public
needs no official intimation that this is be-
cause of the Incompetence and dishonesty
of most Of the men who really manage
Indian affairs; it seems strange, therefore,
that he should become Its defender against
the army officers, almost any one of whom
has really more facts at command than any
Indian Commissioner hos ever been able
and willing to give to his official superior.
Whereabouts in the Interior Department. are
these statements in point that have been
transmitted by tho War Department, but of
which Secretary Schurz has been ignorant? !?

Arsenic in Connecticut.

In the Cobb murder case, now on trial in
Connecticut, another court has to deal
with the difficult problems of the poison
er's art but we do not apprehend that the
famous farce that was played in New Jer-
sey court in the case of vosburgh will be re-
peated at Norwich. In Connecticut at
least they had dead body to begin with.
Professor Doremus has given his testimony
on the examination Of the morbid anatomy,
and has declared what he found. His
chemical knowledge on points of this nature
is assuredly without fault, and judges and
juries may accept as beyond the reach of
refutation any positive declarations made
by him Of the presence of poison in the
tissues of the deceased. In the present case
we do not see but that the counsel for the
defence may accept them also, for unless
the evidence of analysis is remarkably sup
ported by expert medical testimony nobody
can be hanged on what has been Shown.
From the arsenic actually found in the or
gans examined, and computation there
upon, Professor Doremus states his opinion
that there was at least q grain and a half of
the drug in the dead body, his inference that
there was more in the body shortly before
death, and his further OF nion that no man
can SO accustom himself to the use of ar
senic as to safely carry one or two grains
of it in his system. These several points
are to be received with very different de-
grecs of credit. The fact that half grain
was found is doubtless absolute the COM
putation thence to grain and q
half is of less value; and the alle-
pation rs. to the limit of toleration
is worthless-is mere opinion, and
not the opinion even Of q person practi-
cally familiar with the use of this substance
in medicine. 1t appears that the deceased
was ut tho time Of his death using medicine
which contained arsenic, ''but only. liz.
tle.". In the twelve powders found the Pro-
fessor says there was not enough arsenic to
be dangerous. In the long continued use
of very small doses Of this drug lies the
secret Of its toleration by the system, and
it will become an important issue how long
the deceased had been using such powders.
III he had been using them for any consid-
erable period the accumulation of grain
and half in the system would not have
been a great one, since the Professors
views are altogether erroneous as to what q
man may carry. Won Tschudi's report
Of four grains used in day cannot be ig-
nored, and rs Orfla reasons that thirty
days are necessary for complete elimination
a man might have in him at one time any,
where from Ave to ffty grains.
The New York herald., 1879-01-03

out of the depression and stagnation of the
last five years; and if we should be blessed
with another bountiful harvest, keeping the
foreign balance in our favor, the country
will find itself next autumn not merely
convalescent, but in confirmed financial
health.
The smooth and successful resumption of
specie payments which We now witness
falsifies many confident prophecies and re-
fleets discredit on the financial judgment Of
tho democratic party. In its last national
platform it denounced the Resumption
act os 50 hindrance to specie pay
ments" and demanded its repeal. A
bill for repeating it was soon after passed
by the democratic House of Representa-
tives, and the Presidential canvass of the
party was conducted with great zeal on
that basis. 1t was an odd position for
some men to take that the fixing of q date
for the maturity of a debt was hindrance
10 its payment. 1t was only because date
was fixed that efficient preparations were
made. If O mans note at O bank is to fall
due at specified time he has motive to
bestir himself as the time approaches and
meet his engagement. There was
great deal Of extravagant invective both in
the democratic platform and in Mr.
Tilden's letter of acceptance against the
republican party for having provided no
means of resumption. But it would have
been absurd and wasteful to accumulate
great stock Of gold to lie idle in the Treas
ury years in advance of the time. Instead
of employing the surplus revenue for that
purpose it was used for reducing the public
debt and thereby saving q large amount OF
interest. Between the passage of the Re-
sumption act and the date fixed for specie
payments there was paid S113. $50, 191 of the
government bonds. It would have been
folly to have converted this sum
into gold and have kept it lying
in the Treasury without interest.
When the time came that additional
gold was needed for resumption purposes
it was easily procured by the sale of bonds
in accordance with the law; and no method
could have been wiser or more economical.
The signal demonstration which we now
witness Of the unwisdom and want of fore
sight of the politicians who denounced the
act as a hindrance to resumption and pre-
dicted it's total failure has justly destroyed
all confidence in their financial judgment.
