The Philadelphia Tines, the leading

public attention. II Gen. Garfield did not
write the letter Il matters very little who
did, except that everybody wishes the pros.

justice. The whole affair, however, as.

American had advanced and the cargo
trade was generally weaker. A quantity
OF breadstu1s on passage or being shipped
for the United Kingdom shows an increase
on last week.
There were on Friday still fifty wheat
laden vessels overdue. As they arrive OF
the coast the trade weakens. American
advices also have weakening tendency.

FIsHHR,s FRAUDS.

The Way Young seoundreI nj Cinein
natl Did Violence 10 the Eternal Fitnesl
ofThings by Playing the Democratic
Game ON the Republican Side OF the
Fence.
CIScIsxAr1, November 1e.-Charles s.
Fisher, young lawyer, and prominent
worker in the Republican party, was be.
fore U. S. Commissioner Hooper on the
charge Of attempting fraud upon the
ballot.box in the First ward Of this city at
the last October election. he was arrested
at the instigation Of District Attorney
Richards, and an affidavit was made at
Richards request, by the two Republican
Judges on duty at the polls. Fisher was
Supervisor OF elections in that precinct.
The testimony Of J. G. Stowe, one OF the
Republican judges, was that while he
was taking out the ballots he saw bunch
Of ballots beside the box. which be knew
he had not placed there, and was aboutt to
brush them on the floor, when Fisher said
they were stamped.
The ballot box is SO constructed that
when the tickets are deposited In It each
one records stamp on the back. Finding
these stamped they were counted after.
wards on three different occasions. Fisher
pointed out the stamped tickets on the
floor, two at each time, and they were
counted at last. Moore, the Democratic
Judge, felt ticket fall on his knee, and
said he saw an arm on that side OF him.
He found another ticket on the floor. He
didn't then accuse Fisher OF dropping the
tickets, but said Fisher was standing on
the side from which the tickets came.
Upon examining these tickets closely II
was found that the stamp differed from
the one then in use, in the manner OF the
abbreyiation OF the word "precinct."
Upon completing the count Il was found
there were fourteen more ballots in the
box than names on the poll-book. The
judges then went through the ballots, and
found fourteen with the wrong stamp on
the back, all Republican tickets. They
were thrown ont. Testimon y is now in
progress.
The testimony of Moore and Wilson,
the other judges OF election, and Of Cap.
pack, the Democratic supervisor, was
taken. they agreed substantially with
Stowe, the first witness, but none Of them
saw Fisher throw down any oil the fraudu.
lent tickets.
Mr.. Whitman testified that he had made
o rubber stamp several days before the
election upon the order OF man he had
never seen before; thought Fisher resem.
bled the man who had ordered the stamp.
The testimony was not concluded.
