THE Democrats of West Virginia
are preparing to intimidate the col.
ored voters in that State, and have
begun to cry fraud and corruption
Congressman Gibson was praneing
around Washington last week, and
accused the Republicans of import
ing negro voters into the State, and
said THAT the result of an attempt
to present them at the polls will be
to prevent a negro vote being cast
and it NAV lead to bloodshed."
Gibson is a very light weight
Bourbon, vicious enough to attempt
holding the State in the Democratic
ranks with the shotgun. and fool
enough to blab about it in advance
The State is likely to go for Blaine
and Logan, and this blatherskite
thinks to prevent it by shrieking
fraud, and threatening murder. A
barking dog don't bite, and Gibson's
yawp is simply an admission that
West Virginia is lost to the Demo
Gratis.

ROCHESTER, August 1.-THE re-
mains of Lieutenant KisIingbnry.
one of the victims of the Greelv ex-
pedltion who died amid Arctic snow
last June, were disinterred this NOR
ming, and the fact was established
beyond all question that cannibal-
ism was restored to by the starving
men of the Greely expedition, and
that the lives of those saved were
preserved only by eating the dead
bodies of their companions. Lieu
tenat Kislingbury's relative there
were filed with horrible doubts as
soon as they learned that disclos
ures had been made in New York
regarding cannibalism among the
members of the expedition, and
they determined to learn the truth
by exhuning the remains and hav-
ing them examined by competent
physicians. The service of L. A.
Jeffreys, undertaken, were secured,
and this morning, with the assistance
of five men, he accomplished the
work of taking up the casket from
its resting place. This was done in
the presence of Assistant Superin-
tendent Vaudeville, and the remains
were taken, as unearthed, to chap
ell near the entrance of the ceme-
tery.

Campbell. lie went down to Beaver
Monday afternoon, but did not reach
the city until nearly II o'clock at
night. He concluded to keep the
prisoner in Marshal Rutan's office
until morning, and made deliberate
preparations to prevent him from
escaping. He handcufied himself
securely to Fitch, locked the door Of
the Office, and the two sat down to
while away the hours intervening
between midnight ard daybreak as
best they could.
Finally Campbell concluded to
take short nap, and when he
awoke. which was about three o'clock
yesterday morning, he found that
the prisoner had mysteriously dis

he took the deputy marshalis pock-

The horrible story of cannibalism
said to haye been INDUCED in by the
survivors of the Greedy expedition
should be received with many grains
of doubt. until the facts are estab-
lished beyond controversy. Al
though the charge is made that the
body of one of the dead mariners
has been disinterred and found to
consist merely of bones from which
the flesh had been cut, yet in view
of the many contradictory state
meets made by those who ought to
know, it is well to suspend judg-
ment until an official investigation
has been made. Lieutenant Greely
has made an official report of the
execution of private Henry, and has
asked for court martial to investi-
gate his action, and this court will
necessarily elicit ali the facts.
Should the dreadful story prove
true, the Survivors are to be pitied,
not blamed, for sustaining life as
they did. in the horrible straits to
which they were reduced.
