frauds threatened by the Democrats are about
to be attempted. 1t is said that the Demo
cratic State authorities have prepared certif-
Gates of election for seventeen Democratic
Senators and eighty-five Democratic Repre-
sentatives. This will give them a majority
in both houses and a quorum should the Ke-
publicans retire from this fraudulent legisla-
lation, as they might do. The enormity Ut
the fraud can be shown in a single sentence,
by stating that the Republicans actually elect
ed nineteen Senators to twelve for the COM
bined opposition, and ninety-one Representa-
tives to sixty for the combined opposition.
The pretext upon which this unmistakable
popular verdict is to be avoided is that OF
bribery by the Republicans, and it is under
stood by the singular coincidence that the
Democratic State officials find the votes only
Of strong Republican towns to have been in
validated his way. The people OF Maine
know their own affairs best, and there seems
to be clear expectation in that State that his
preposterous and infamous fraud will be at
tempted. To outsiders it seems scarcely
c~reditable, but if the Democratic party de-
liberately adds to its many burdens a weight
of crime like this at the very outset of the
Presidential campaign, it must expect to be
crushed to earth by the condemnation of the
people.
NEW YORK, November 14.-The World
says The labors of De Lesseps have not
been in vain. A Washington dispatch which
we print this morning indicates that they
have had the good result Of effectually turn
ing the attention of European capitalists to
the subject and that European capital which
could not be commanded in Paris itself for
the construction of the canal by the route
and under the conditions favored by De Les
seps, can be commanded by the United States
and constructed as Ammen has shown that
such canal ought to be constructed, through
Nicaragua. The conditions attached to the
offer of capital already received in this coun-
try for such canal are that Grant shall accept
the presidency of the company and that in
the capacity thus given him he shall apply to
the Nicaraguan government fort the necession.
It cannot be doubted hat Grant will very
seriously consider the proposition thus made
and the opportunities it offers him not to say
duties which it imposes upon i m
