THE ALABAMA COUNT.
A High Moral Duty to Defraud the Blaci
Man OF His Vote.


Man of His Vote.
Secretary Sherman yesterday received let
ter from one Of the leading men Of Alabama,
of which he furnishes the following extract:
"Tio late election in this state, as most of us
anticipated, was a mere farce Whatever Of
deconoy remained in the democratic party
was on this occasion entirely cast aside and
flNuds tho most unblushing aud stupendous
committed. In many counties whore the popu-
lation was largely colored the republicans did
not vote, knowing that their votes would swell
the democratic majority. In some counties
where we had q county ticket in the field we
brought out tho full republican strength, and
10 was IN such cases tho counting
out was done. In Lowndes county Judge
NJ. Dufcld got $3.50 votes, actually voted
for him and put into the box, each voter show
ing his ticket openly and open rs ho went
to the polls. The democratic voto OF the
county is not over 1900 and yet they re-
turned majority OF 1850 against him. In
two beats thoro was an honest count He car.
rlod ono by ovor 100 majority, and the other,
which was always carried in former years by
the democrats, bo carried by four majority. In
Scotps beat Pcrry county, where tally was
kept in like manner, the republicans openly
voted over 500 votes aud tho democrats 40, and
this beat returned democratic majority Of
230. These aio only specimen bricks When
you apply IL to the state you can sec how the
democrats got their $4,000 majority. copy
from private letter from Montgomery: But
snch grand rally of the republicans of
the county has not been seen since 1868;
such intelligent determination TO carry the
election on the part Of tho colored people was
never known before. But votes don't count.
The election WAS tho biggest fraud you ever
saw or heard. The democrats themselves ..
NIT it. We know IL. Il Is perfectly useless
to make any effort in this state from present
/ Appearances. The real fact il, in this state,
that tho democrats intend to hold the state
government at all prices and hazirds, aud
| this they regard as their imperative duty. OF
course they say il wc win in the national cam.
paign 1t will be so much better, but they look
upon Alabama Us their country and the United

This is the true key to tho southern

The internal revenue bureau, under the adj

recently made n magnificent and uncqualed
showing for tho four years past; the fourth
auditor followed, showing tho disbursements

lity of republican rule. Siucn the informal
revenue stamps and other public work exc
cutod by private enterprise we're turned over
to this bureau the work in the surface branch
has boen increased eighty nine pcr cent, with
an increase of only twenty-nine per cent in
the pay-rols of the branch. In all the other
divisions there has been n similar increase of
labor, with like increase in the pay rolls.
In the fiscal year of 1852 there was an un-
expended balance of moneys on account Of
salaries, labor aud expenses amounting to
$50, O,il74l. The last fiscal year will show an
equally good exhibit, and certainly there is
no branch of the government which can show
greater efficiency or more integrity. Several
millions OF dollars have been disbursel in this
bureau during the administration of Colonel
Irish, and not one cent has been lost to tho
government. The government has cause to
be proud OF the operations of this bureau, and
certainly no change Is hero nCCdcd-or, for
