A Fraud Exposed.

DAVID ID. TAYLOR, .0f the Guernsey
Times, red.hot Republican paper, ap-
pears ss the apologist and defender oi
JAS. II. HAMILTON, whom the Dem ocracy
Of Monroe County decided in Conven.
ton, last April, should not again mis-
represent them in the Legislature. In bis
report Of the proceedings Of the Senate.
rial Convention TAYLOR says:
"Henry West took the floor and tried
to defrsud Hamilton, of Monroe county,
out OF two votes that rightfully belong
ed 10 him."
Again:
"Hamilton as delegate and rroxy-
holder was entitled to four votes, ss
Chairman Wilkins subsequently, ruled,
upon an examination OF his credentials.
No more shameful piece of chicanery
was ever perpetrated than this attempt
Of West and briggs to put the gag on
the Monroe delegation and deprive the
Hon. Mr.. Hamilton Of bis rightful votes" )"
We did challenge Mr.. HAMILToN's g
right to cast the two votes OF Lee town
ship and were right in so doing In the
Monroe county caucus at III O'Clock
HAMILTON was present and did not
claim 10 represent Lee, or any other
township than Seneca, in which he re-
sides and from which he was q delegate.
Lee was unrepresented in the caucus.
10 the Convention We challenged
HAMLroR's right TO cast the TWO votes
Of Lee-Mr. GooDwM'i snd, Mr.. GoD-
DARD's. 90 &
And we here assert that the written
proxy handed to Chairman WILKINS by
HAMILroN was fraudulent,a and was manu-.
featured byjscoundrels. There was no
attempt "to defraud HAmLros," but IL
was rather On attempt to prevent him
from foisting a fraudulent proxy upon
the Convention,
HAMILTON was not "en,Itled to four
votes" but is entitled to and will receive
the contempt Of oil honest Democrats
in Monroe county for bis scoupdrelly
and dishonest action in casting the two
votes of Lee township on fraudulent
proxy.
Mr.. J. M. GooDwrN informed Mr..
DRIaes on the I'd inst, that he had not
given Mr.. HAMILTON his proxy, and that
be had no authority to cast bis vote or
in any manner represent him, as dele
gate, 10 the Convention. And further
that he Was satisfied that Mr.. JAS. Cop
DARD. the other delegate from Lee, had
not authorized HAMILTON to cast his
vots or given him bis proxy.
MeHAMILrcs. by bis duplicity and
practice of dishonest methods at the
convention, has convinced all Demo.
Gratis in this county. except half dozen
who aid and abet his rascality. that be is
entirely destitute Of that morality and
honesty that entille man to the respect
OF honorable men. -
D. D. TAYLOR is the proper person to
spoligize for and defend such a charac-
ter.

which tones the stomach, regulates d.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The ladies of Japan show not leS
readiness to adopt Western ideas and
usages than the japanese of the other
Sex. The bellies of Yedo order dresses
from Paris; and the progress of imita-
ton has gone so far as to make q
knowledge of the fashionable dances of
Europe an indispensable feature in the
education of every Japanese lady who
respects herself. A riding school is
about to be opened in Yokohama ex-
clusiyely for the use of native ladies,
and itpromises to be largely patronized.
The Japanese Government is about to
take step which will have the effect
of bringing the more solid branches Of
Western education within reach of the
female subjects of the Mikado. A
number of young women are about to
be sent to Europe to receive thorough
training in the essential branches Of
female education as it is understood
there, with view to their subsequent
employment as teachers in their own
country when qualified.

In the tempestuous times of Gov
Belcher' reign over Massachusetts Bay,
in 1871, a great dispute arose as to the
boundary between that colony and New
Hampshire. 1t was referred to the
Crown, and certain boundary line
ordered to be drawn. A man named
Hazen surveyed this line, and allowed
10 degrees for the westerly variation D
the needle, when he should have al.
lowed only degrees and 40 seconds.
The result was the loss to New Hamp
shire of a triangular piece of territory
two and three-fourths miles wide at tho
base and stretching from Dracut to the
Connecticut River. This error has never
been officially corrected, and now a

over which Massachusetts has been eX-
ercising only prescriptive rights for l45
years. The curiously notched boundary
line north of the Mcrrimac belongs to
the same period, and resulted from an
attempt to follow the wIidings OF the
river ut distance of three miles.
