KAHUNA VAaARIEs.-One Of the many native
doctresses of the town and whose abilities in curing
the sick have won her o passing fair renowu, was
called in lately to administer in her own peculiar
manner, to the wants of Q native woman living
opposite Montgomery Square, and who had sue
cumbed pro tenn, to some of the ills which hesh Is
heir to. The first injunction of this female kahunG
to the patient was, to obtain sufficient white mate
rial to make a holoku, in which the sick woman was
to be arrayed preparatory to taking q temporary
fight heevenwsrd. The instructions thus given were
fulfilled, and after donning the counterfeit OF the
garments supposed to be worn in the ethereal man
sions, q season Of prayer was inaugurated and lasted
for twenty hours. at the end Of which time the sick
womap's leave Of absence to mingle spiritually or
physically, in the enjnyments OF the realms above,
was recalled, and she being present was called upon
to recount her adventures during the time she was
supposed to be absent. This she did in 9 highly in
teresting manner to the large number of listeners,
assembled by the kahuna, and at the end of her re-
cital was declared cured by the potent doctress. The
sick woman, however, lacked the necessary faith, or.
else the trials aud length Of the journey heavenEsrd
had overcome her to the extent as to require her
remaining yet to all intents snd purposes, in as bad
if not worse q condition as when first visited ty her
native imposter, and the possibilities are, that il .
favorable change does not soon occur, she will leave
this bourne for that from whence no traveller re
turns, and the kabuna will lose the nsnal supply Of
brandy and money and 2 patient Hr 81 -.

1t is difficult to treat with seriousness the
absuld cry of fraud in this county which the
Democrats have raised They are pleading the
baby act. They are simply cOnfeSSng thai
with almost double the voting population and
the machinery of local government in theiI
hands, they cannot protect themselves from be-
ing cheated by the minority party. 1t is equally
difficult to treat this cry with patience. Coming
from the party whose frauds in this very county
compelled the passage by Democratic Leg
isature of registration law, and forced Con-
gFcss to authorize supervision Of all general
elections by Federal officials, it is really sheer
impudence.
But a very brief story, drawn entirely from
the official figures, will show how baseless are
the charges of Republican frauds In this county.
1t VIII be at once conceded that to succeed III
fraud by cOlonizing voters, or by repeating at
the polls, which is the form of fraud now
charged, the registration ard vote this year must
have both been dispropCrtionately large. Well,
the fact is they are not. Let Us illustrate.
In 1876 the increase of the registration over
that of 1872 was % per cent. Lest It might
be SAID that the year 1872 was exceptional
we will take 1876 and 1874. in both of which
years Iiden was u candidate first for Gov
ernDr, then for President. Well, III 1876 the
increase OF registration over 1874 was just 20
per cent. 1t has never been IA large since.
The increase Of 1880 over 1876 was just 10
per cent; and 1850 over 1878 was precisely
The same. In other words, during the { NO years
when Tildcn managed the Democratic party
with some sense and energy the increase was 20
per cent when, in 1850 and 1878, he was
Indifferent, the increase was only Is per cent.
In Brooklyn the same result followed, only
Tilden found better aids there. In 1876 the
increase over the registration OF 1872 was 80
per cent; over that of 1874 it was II per
cent. This year the increase over 1876 in
Kings County Is just II per cent. So, 1t is
clear that there was no unnatural or fraud
ulent increase in the vote registered.
Let us see rs to the vote cast. In New
York County IN 1871, when TIlden ran for
Governor the vote tell below the registration 9
per cent in Broodlyn only 4.j pei cent In
1876 the falling of here was 50 per cent !;
there il was only 4 per cent. This year, 1SoO
the falling oil in New York was ; per cent III
Brooklyn it was per cent. These figures do
not show any unnatural increase in the vote
as cast.
1t is idle to scream fraud in the face of these
figures. The facts that in this and Kings
County and in the homes of Mr. 1ilden's
warmcst partsans in other parts of the state
the Democratic vote has notccdbly fallen of ,
will afford m0Ic sensible explanation of the
Democratic disaster.

To cover up Their own incompetence and
knayew, certain Democratic leaders now
| threaten to raise a dispute about the electoral
vote of New York. If these mcn are not fragrant
cheats, they must be n,Immatc fools. The
State officers and the Legislature of this State
will take care that the public Will snail not he
defeated. Not the semblance of certificate
from this State can be obtained by any person
claiming to bo au oector, unless lie is one of
those duly elected by Republican votes on
Tuesday. 1t is conceivable that the local can
vasscrs might throw out the votes OF Ncw-Yo:k
or Brooklyn fraudulcntY, but that would only
cut down the Democratic vote and increase the
Republican majority in the State. 1t Is also
conceivable that dishonest majority iii Con-
gIess might be disposed to refuse to count the
votes of duly certified Republican electors from
New York. But inasmuch as nobody else ex-
cept those electors can get the faintcst color of
authority to vote, the fraud would end with
the dsfranchsement of this state. and the Re-
publican candidates would still have a
majority of all the electoral votes cast and
counted. If the Democrats should go beyond
legal bubbles, and attempt any revolutionary
step, they would quickly regret it.
But the case of NcwJersey stands on a very
different footing. There Is at least fifty times
as much reason to believe that the surprising
Democratic majOrties III some of the large
counties in that State were manufactured by
fraud, treacheIy, bribery, exercise of corrupt
corporate influence or errors i'll counting, as
there is to suppose that the Republican gains
in New ork and Brooklyn were fraudulent.
But there is this difference. If the Republicans
investigate the case OF NewJerscy, a Republic
can Legislature will have power to settle the
matter and might find reason to declare Re
publican Governor and Republican electors
duly elected In that case, steps could be
taken which the Democrats, in view of their
action on the Florida and South Carolina cases
four years ago, would find it hard to oppose
In short the question as 10 the electoral vote
and the state Government of New jersey offers
at least fifty times as much inducement to the
investigator as is offered by any question as to
New York.
1t may be properly added that the Demo-
cratic clattcg in regard to the vote of New York
Is palpably insnccre and empty, and designed
only to cloak over the behavior of local Demo
cratic managers But if the Republicans see fit
to look into the votes and returns OF Mon
mouth, Middlescx, Warren, Essex, and Hudson
Counties, in New Jersey, they are likely to
find something particularly worth attention.
