Brewster's New Blood. Hound,

A dispatch from Washington relative
to the recent appointment conferred on
ex.Congressman Dick Crowley, of Lock.
port, New York, is important AZ an illus.
tratiOn OF how the StalWart President
takes care Of tho men who stood bv tho
machine" in the Empire State. Mr..
Crowley was q leading candidate for
Senator at the time "Me Too" Plat was
elected, and had the support of Senator
Conkling and the boys" but failed
through the obstinacy of the "Hnif.
Breed" and "Leatherland" wings of the
party. When Lord Roscoe resigned
Dick Crowley stood faithful to his mas.
| ter, and now the Administration seems
determined to repay him for his feaIty
to the "Ex. Boss" of New York. The
dispatch says:
| One of the most successful Of the Stal.
wart managers of New York, successful
in getting fat fees and revenue from the

man Dick Crowley. He enjoys the rep.
utatiOn of having much influence with

reputation naturally makes him be in
large demand from claimants, contrac.
tors and others desirous of securing
fnvors from the government. Employ.
ment, of this sort is profitable, and

understood to be prospecting. Crowley is

lie was recently appointed by Brewster,
Attorney General" i" to serve as q special
Attorney General to conduct the South
Carolina election prosecutions. 1t has
come to pass that, next to the presidency,
the office ofSpecial Attorney General is
frequently the most lucrative Office in
the government. For his services the
President receives less than $l37 a day,
while Special Assistant Attorney Geo
Hiss inns been receiving $3.50 a day.
The great Brewster himself gets a per
diem Of only $22. 1t is more than
probable that Crowley is now receiving
not less than 800 day tor actual and
nominal service in the South Carolina
cases. This is more than probable
because last year he was paid $500,
besides his expenses, for less than fifty
days seryices as counsel in two federal
cases in New York. He was thus em.
pioyed and paid at time when he wna
receiving his salary at the rate of Sc, 900

was a direct, palpable violation of sec-
ton ,765 of the Revised Statutes.

4 Political Murder,

MAYEsvILI.E. March 27.-There is one
act in the drama entitled, "The Claren-
don Arrests" that it would be well for
the public to know. The negro, Robert
McFadden, ono of the parties arrested
was in bed and very sick when the mar
shal came for him on the 18th, the day
the parties were ull arrested. AT first he
tried To beg off aud at length refused to
20, pleading sickness. The marshal,
Wilson, told him he would carry him if
he had to tic him and make him trot be-
hind his buggy, whereupon one of the
arrested white men offered the negro q
seat in his buggy. When they arrived
At Florence it was discovered that Rob
ert Burgess and not Robert McFadde.i
waas wanted, ~ the POOR negro vas
turned loose in Florence and when he
told them that he WAS penniless and
could not pay his way home. he was
calmly told ESQ | was informed) that he
could walk-n distance of seventy. FIVE
miles. His white Democratic fellow
prisoners fed him at the hotel and paid
his fare on the train. Yesterday, the
9th, the negro died-a victim to Radi-
cal malignity and hate. The negroes
here are indignant, and if there is any
law 10 reach that marshal he will nave u
rough time. The negro, Robert Burgess,
who was indicted along with tho whites,
was the Radical supervisor at the With.
erspoon precinct, and they are endeavor-
ing to make him swear that fraud exist
ed. When examined at Florence he
said that the election was perfectly fair.
The commissioner told him not to say
that, ~ ne was only making it hard for
himself, the object being to make him
swear falsely. Burgess told them that
he would stick 10 the truth.
The majority for the Democratic Con-
gressman was only twelve at the Wither-
spoon precinct Mt the last election, and
in 1876, l think, with Radical managers,
the Democratic majority was about sixty.

To Prevent Fraud.

The New York Supervisors of Election
are discussing the question of adopting
ballot box, the invention of Boston
man, designed to render election frauds
impossible. In this box the ballot is
placed face down upon an apron running
over psiT. OF rollers; the officer in
cnarge of the box raises a lever and
turns crank as each ballot is deposited.
Inc ballot Is carried by rollers under a
clamp, which, by an ingenious device,
unites It finally with the ballot preced.
ing. The ballots thus united are carried
over another roller, which may be de-.
tached and placed on franc where the
baliots can be easily counted. As only
the face OF the ballot il visible when it
Is on the frame, if two ballots are depos.
tied, only one can be seen and counted.
