Conclusive Proofs Of the New York
81. Frands.

Governor Dorsheimer said to a re-
porter Of the New York Evening Post, Il
know Of facts which tend to show that a
very large fraudulent vote was cast in
this cityfby the Republicans 'Why," /"
then eagerly inquired thereporter, "were
these men not arrested when they Ere
sented their ballots if you had evidence
of fraud in their cases?" Mr. Dorsh-
elmer was equal to the emergency. He
said: THAT is one of the things which
the Committee win have to find out. A
large number of warraus were issued for
the arrest of these men, and these war
rants were placed in the hands OF the
police. The police, however, refused for
sAveral hours in the morning to serve
these warrants, and when they did final
ly begin to serve them most of the men
had voted. This colonization was not
confined to any particular ward or dis
trict, but was spread generally all over
the city. The only reason the police
gave for refusing to serve these warrants
was the order issued by Superintendent
Walling instructing them not to serve
them. 1t is believed that there were full
ly q, 900 illegal votes cast in this city for
the Republican ticket" So the Demo-
cratic case in New York does not appear
to be devoid of merit.

At last all the others were gone, and we

the genial expression of his face, the
kindliness Of his keen black eyes, so poor

robe was of white cashmere. gold chain
hung around his neck, and on his head
was white skull-cap. fringed with his
silvery hair.
His feet in their crimson slippers rested
upon cushion, and the people kissed the
gold cross that was embroided upon
them. he sat in an arm chair, upon
which was thrown a scarlet cloth. and an
attendant in the background waited with
his white mantle and crimson velvet hat
corded with gold. The marchesa held his
hand and spoke with him for several min
utes, and then he turned and extended
1t to me, and kissed the large amethyst
of his ring and looked up into his kindly
eyes.
The marchesa having repeated that
was an American, and that desired his
blessing for myself and all the family ,,he
laid HE hand upon my head and, turning
to her, said: IAN American, and how
did you come to know herr" Holy
Father, she lives in my house," was the
reply. "She is good" added His Holi

l, not wishing to rest under false preten

wry face, laughed, shook his head at me

What the Goveruor of North Carolina
Said.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 6.--Gov. Jarvis,

satisfaction to their industrial fairs and
to the favor and encouragement bestowed
on the exhibitions by the whites. He
regards it an imperative duty that the
whites should see that in all things full
ard equal justiceshall be done the blacks
and that they are not left to work out
their own destiny alone. The Governor
favors school tax of % cents on the
hundred dollars worth of property, and
takes ground in favor of prohibitation

DESTRUCTIVE ICE.
The Ohie River Commences ifs Work
Of Destruction aud Causes
Great Anxiety.

CINCINNATI, Jsn. S.-The river interests
and all connected with it are in state OF
feyerish excitement over the expected
disasters from the breaking up OF the ice.
The melting Of snow OH mountains caused
the river to swell very fast, and just as
the river is breaking above. the weather
has turned colder 70 that it will come
down hard and sharp. All the steamers
have steam up, watchmen are stationed
at all available points. and dispatches
from points above are watched with the
greatest interest. Losses above have
been very large and old river men say the
battle with the ice there will be terrible
one.
LATER.
Ice in the river broke here at 8 o'clock
this morning and is now running freeiv.
No damage done yet, but the ice in the
Licking is expected to break Inomentari-
ly and some destruction is feared.
STILL LATER.
The steamer Gen. Lytle was sunk by
ice to-day and some other damage done.
The Lytle was valued at $25, 900, but will
not be badly damaged. Licking River is
still tight. The ice is still running heavi-
fly. River men now hope the damage
viii be much lighter than was at first
feared.
CINCINNATI. Jan. Sat noon to-day 1T
was known that large destruction of
empty coal barges has attended by the
breaking of ice in the Ohio river in front
of Cincinnati. Fifty is said to be the
number lost. The value is about 81, 900
each, making the total loss $50.0O0 in
coal barges. This was eunexpected as
owners had taken extraordinary care to
secure them by cables. The want of such
barges in the case of coal rise in the
Ohio Is more than their worth.
CINCINNATI. Jan. S.-The ice has
nearly run out. but the harbor remains
quiet No further disasters are expected.
