The arrivals Of foreign gold last week were
$C,94O,309 the largest yet recorded in the same
space of time. This brings the receipts up to
$46540,s2S since January 1, against $55,5l9,-
eSs last year, and makes showing OF the most
satisfactory character as to the business pros.
pcrlty of the country. This gold comes in
large part to pay for the brcadstuils which Eu.
rope is compelled to buy from US through
short crops at home, and of which we have,
fortunately, plenty of Surplus to supply any
demand that may be made

Going little more into detail, the result In
the various states was about as follows:
MISUNDERSTANDING returns have been re-
celved from nearly all the counties IN the state,
showing very little change from the vote OF
1876, except IN Cook county, where the demo-
cratic loss is $4,000 to $4,000 In the middle
and southern counties the democrats generally
gain and in the northern counties hold their
own or, as In this county, lose trihe.
We give few counties from which full re-
turns have been reported:

The vote Of Brother Cullen for congress IN
this county, we are grieved to see, Is not very
complimentary, running as he does nearly 400
behind his ticket It'll palpablc that he wes
Iugged through only on the general issue, and
grudgingly at that Brother Cullen must work
hard in Washington to make good record,
or we fear his showing in this race will com.
mend him poorly as the " strongest man" two

INTIMIDATION IN TEXAS.


A special dispatch from Brazoria,
Texas, to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
gives what purports to be afull account
cf an attempt to prevent Federal
office holder from making speeches at
Republican meetings at that place. As
the Inter Ocean is unreasonably one
sided i'll politics, it is possible that the
report of the outrage may lie exagger-
sted. 1t says that Federal official
named Bissel addressed Republican
meeting, by request. and advised the
colored people, who, it is alleged, arc
IN a majority in the county, not to
slect any Democrats to office. This, it
Is said, was. the hight Of bis offending,
and for this. he WIS waited upon next
day by ORG DIR. Ascham. and eight or
tsa sothen bulldozers, who threata8ed
him with death if he did. not stay at
at. home and attend to his own affairs.
Dr. sAscham has. the reputation, SO the
Ipter-Ocean says, of being cowardly
assassin, who murdered three persons
lately, and was acquitted on the ground
OF insanity. Bissel, the dispatch says,
is a poor man. but fearing assassination
gave up his place and moved from Bra
zoria to Galveston.
Here are specific charges of
bhlidozing, which, unlike those
published in the New York Tri-
bune some two weeks ago, give the
name of the intimidated and that OF
the, leader of the bulldozers, and the
locality where the outrage is alleged to
have been committed. Ii these
charges. are true, then a Federal official
had to leave the locality where he. had
been assigned to- duty by the Govern
ment to escape DEATH. for no other
reason than that Of expressing his po-
Gtscal opinions at public meeting.
Every good citizen, whatever his politi-
saleopinions may be, cannot do less
taan condemn such outrages and de-
rand that their perpetrators be pun
ished; and the law-abiding citizens of
Texas owe it to, themselves and the
people of the.whole country to see that
they are brought to justice. The case
should be thoroughly investigated and
.sae facts published. Republican pa
pars and speakers charge the Democrat
icsparty with not only countenancing
bulldozing of. the character stated, but
with aiding and abetting such Offend
: ers,. and many well-meaning men who
believe that a change of administra-
ton would be beneficial to the country,
-aredeteredsfaem giving their support to
the Democrats, for the reason that they,
. AZ a party, are supposed to encourage
such outrages on the rights of the peo-
pie. II I'VE understand Democratic
principles correctly, they accord to
every citizen, whether native or natu-
rallied, every right guaranteed him
by the Constitution and the statutes
II is no part of the Democratic faith TO
countenance or-defend bulldozing in the
iSouth, or the milder, though perhaps
/
TIE Moth Ii we cannot have free
and fair elections, and abide by the will
Of the majority as honestly expressed,
without fraud or intimidation, at the
ballot box, then our government is re-
publican only i'm name, and our so-called
popular elections are a farce.

Rights of q Judgment Creditor.


The supreme court has delivered another
decision holding that creditor who has
obtained a Judgment can levy on and sell
any real estate which he thinks the debtor
has an interest in, unless in cases where
the harm done the debtor cannot be reme-
died. As the purchaser buys only the
interest Of the debtor in the real estate,
whatever it may be, no harm can be done
in the ordinary cases. In May, 1875,
Catharine Wiser bought from her brother,
J. w. Mathews, lot at Sth and Venango
streets, Philadelphia, and upon which she
claims that she subsequently erected a
house. On April 16, 1877, John Dortf OBJ
tanned from Mathews a judgment note,
which he entered up, and on October IA,
1879, levied upon the house in question.
Mrs. Wiser asked for injunction to restrain
Droff from selling the property; but the
court below refused, and now the supreme
court afirms this decree and says A cred
itor who has obtained a judgment has a
clear legal right to levy on and sell his
debtors intrest in any land. A court Of
equity cannot enjoin on the ground that
the debtor has no title or interest. That
would be to draw to itself a question which
belongs to a common law tribunal and
would deprive the party of the constitu-
tional right of trial by jury. The question
can only be settled in ejectment by the
sheriff's vendee. The only apparent ex.
ception to this is when the property of a
married woman is levied on for the debt
of her husband, but that rests on the con-
struction of statute.

A Bad Yankee.

Home Wellington, who lately withdrew
from the commission firm of Utley & Boyn-
ton, in Boston, was arrested yesteday at
the instance of Mr.. Boynton, his father-in-
law for embezzlements amounting to
nearly $4,000, and also for forgery. Wei
lington is also suspected of poisoning his
infant son, who died several months ago
with symptoms Of acute gastric irritation
and of attempting to poison his wife, who
was recently taken sick. Some oatmeal,
which had prepared for her, has been
analyzed, and found to contain " enough
arsenic to kill ten persons" so that she
probably owed her life to the overdose.
When Wellington was arrested he con-
fessed the embezzlements, but denied the
poisoning. A two-ounce bottle half full of
arsenic was, however, found upon him.
He was held in $4,000 bail for forgery,
and will be tried for attempting to poison
his wife.

If it be true that Congressman Nor
gan r. Wise left Washington, for Fay
cite county, some days ago, with the
avowed determination of setting up the
delegation from that county against
Senator Wallace, ''it was just about right
that the Fayette county Democracy put
salt in his tea. We do not see that die
tation from Congressman Wise is any
more savory than dictation from Senator
Wallace, and if Wise found out that
Parthian arrows sometimes hit the bow
man, he has only discovered what better
and wiser men knew before.
