Cause OF Depression.I
CHICAGO, November 7th.-The TrtJuae's
Philadelphia special says: The only cause Of
depression in stocks is the efforts of Barnum
and Kelly to disturb the peace of the country
by sending out false and baseless stories,
and starting schemes to throw cut Electoral
votes.
Sarcasm on KeIIy's "Fraud" Cry.
NKw YORK, November 6th.-The New
York Herald says: Kelly's claim of fraudu-
lent voting in New York is preposterous. No
vote could have been cast in this city which
was not registered, and the registry lists were
open to inspection and challenge. Kelly's
foolish colonization fiction is too supremely
ridiculous to deceive anybody who does not
wish to be deceived. AS if colonization could
account for the pitiful vote by which Grace
barely escaped defeat in city where the
normal Democratic majority is between Co.
ooO and l0,OOO. The unrestrained wrath
assail Kelly is plain consequence of his de-
tying public opinion by nominating candi-
date for Mayor for the selfish purpose of
securing bis own reappointment to the Con-
trollership. He wantonly sacrificed the
Hancock ticket to his unscrupulous greed of
local power. The Democracy here and else.
where perfectly understand his perfidy, and
they only await an opportunity for reckon
ing. They intend to punish him and make
an example of him as a warning to boiling
renegades and traitors. He understands this
perfectly well, and hence his desperate at.
tempt to dodge the coming blow.
Out OF Money and I'm Debt.
New YORK, November 7th.-The Tr6une's
w ashington special says: 1t appears that
| at the close of the political campaign the
Democratic Congressional COMMITTEES found
itself with an empty treasury and in debt
about S25, 900. The prospect of making any
further collections from the disheartened
Democracy seems almost hopeless, and the
creditors of the committee are said to be
greatly disturbed.
Election Devices in the Car0Iinas.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-The TriJuae's
Washington special says: The Attorney
General has directed the Federal officials in
North Carolina to arrest all persons guilty of
completely in election frauds 1t is said that
the Democrats planted cannon in different
wards of Charleston for the purpose of intimi-
dation; that Democrats armed to the teeth,
appeared at the polls, and that basketful of
Republican votes were thrown out of the win
dow and destroyed. Convicts, working urder
contract, were dressed in citizens clothes and
voted for Hancock
Darlington Is. C.), special says: The
Red-Shirt Democrats took possession of the
town the night before the election, and as
sumed charge of the polls next day.
The Outrageous Conduct OF the Missis-
sippi Democrats.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-A Times Vicks-
burg special gives long circumstantial re-
count of the frauds which the Democrats have
attempted and executed in Chalmers Shoe
string District, to exclude Lynch, the colored
Republican and opponent of Chalmers for
Congressional election. The district was
originally formed to include most of the
strong Republican localities along the river
border, 80 that all other districts should be
work to carry them. Then the Democrats
were at liberty to put all their efforts (mean-
ing intimidation, fraud and bulldoziHg) in the
long, narrow strip of land. They sue
ceeded in suppressiDg and throwing away
enough Republican votes to elect Chalmers.
although the blacks, who are all Republi-
cans, outnumber the whites FIVE to one.
This year the blacks voted moderately. and
put in enough ballots to elect Lynch by 1000
majority, but 2,059 of their votes uere
thrown out for alleged illegality, thus elect
ing Chalmers. The illegality consisted in
this: Some time ago the negroes were accus-
toned to have flag or eagle printed at the
head of their ticket, as a distinguishing
mark. The Democratic Legislature immedi-
ately passed law that no device OF distin-
gushing mark should be allowed on the
tickets, and that if they had such marks
they should not be received or counted. This
year the Democrats printed their tickets far
away from the district, and only distributed
them on the day Of election. Thus the me-
groes here could not discover in time for
printing. just what was the form of the DEM
ocratic ticket; but they printed their tickets
in the usual shape, and they were an exact
| counterpart of the Democrats, except that
they had heavier type for the names and had
printers dashes between the Names The
Democrats had made an innovation in omit
| ting the latter. They, however, declare the
| dash a device, and on this fimsy pretext
propose to seat Chalmers by throwing out the
tickets which contained it. The Times con-
Gemns without stint this villainous proceed
ing, and declares that such things as that
will drive all decent men from the party,
especially when it is found that many of the
leaders indorse, or at least fail to condemn
those who perpetrate the crime.
Tired OF Being Sold Out.
u
strong conviction among politicians of both
sides that the defeat of Hancock means
break up of the solid South. One of the
most popular and prominent Southern Dem
ocrats now in the city says: IF / had my
way would have cast the 13S votes of the
South for Garfield, and have made the thing
unanimous. Our alliance with the Northern
Democrats gives them all the pence we get
all the kicks. We have done all we promised
politically, but our Northern party associates
have sold US out and betrayed u.s. The
Northern Democrats always consult their
interests, and l am now in favor of the South
consulting hers" This feeling seems to be
general. They say the Northern Democrats
give the South nothing. When they ask, the
ruin us" 1t is believed the solid South will
no longer do all the voting, but will split.
Three Important Matters.
New York, November 7th.--The Rerald's
Washington special says: Three important
matters to come before the next Congress will
be the apportionment according to the last
census, the repeal of the silver bill, and the
refunding OF five and six per cent. bonds.
The Republicans still Confident.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-The TriBuae's
Washington special says: The Republicans
still claim the Senate. Since MAYNARD is
pretty sure to be elected from Tennessee,
where the Republican members of the Lecis-
lature are solid and the Democrats all broken
up into factions. the Republicans have nearly
half of the whole number. The Republi-
cans have increasing confidence that Malone
will vote with them if necessary to organize
the House. The Republicans have all the
contingencies of death in their favor. as in
six States from which there are Democratic
Senators who hold over, there are Republican
Governors. On the other hand. only one
such State which has Republican Senator
has Democratic Governor Iouisianal.
This contingency is not unlikely to figure.
as some of these Senators are old and feeble.
Gariield's Appointments.
New YORK, November 7th.-The Heralds
Mentor (O.) special says: Garfield will at
tempt to propitiste all branches Of the Re-
publican party in his appointments. Efforts
will be made to fraternize Conkline. Grant
and Logan with the Hayes Republicans.
Garfeld's Secretary of War.
New York, November 7th.-The Suns
Washington special says that General Grant
is expected there soon, and it is likely that
ne will be Garfeld's Secretary of War.
Republicans Alarmed.
NEW York, November 7th.-A Herald
special says Three Republican members
elect of the .Forty.seventh Congress-Frye,
Robeson and Morten-are understood to be
candidates for the United States Senate. and
If elected would make vacancies in Congress
