EIection Frauds in Ohio.

The statement was made in our dis
patches day or two ago that registration
certificates were being offered for sale in
Cincinnati. There is every reason TO be-
lieve that many methods are employed in
that and other cities Of Ohio TO defeat the
will Of the people.
The fact is vet fresh in the public mind
that at the election last fall In Ohio the
Republican party attempted TO carry the
election In certain localities by violence
and intimidation. The polls were in the
hands of deputy marshals, whose only
duty seemed 20 be to look out for the sue
cess Of the Republican party.
Notwithstanding the overwhelming evil
dence that Ohio elections are attended
with fraud and violence, Judge Foraker
and Senator Sherman, in their canvass Of
the state, are taking up a great deal Of
their time In slandering the South and in
attempting to make it appear that there
Is no such thing as free ballot and fair
count in the Southern States.
How is it that they do not see the at
taoks on the ballot-box in their own State?
Can 1t be true that they really don't
care whether there is a free ballot and a
fair count or not, and attack the South
and pass over the ballot-box crimes in
their own State simply to make capital
for their party: 1t would seem so. At
any rate their conduct is such as TO Justify
the conclusion that it is 30.
Even Senator Hoar at the Massachusetts
Republican Convention on Tuesday insist
ed thar the elections in some of the South
ern States were controlled by the shotgun.
OF course he did not attempt to give the
names OF the States in which the shotgun
policy prevails. He assumes what a
few reckless correspondents have writ
ten about the South to be true. Like
sherman and Foraker, there Is good
deal Of the demagogue in his character.
He can be depended on TO keep a secret,
however, and to hide the shortcomings of
his friends. Let HIM, and sherman, and
Foraker first set their own houses to
rights and it will be time enough then for
them to criticise the condition Of affairs
in the houses of other people.

THE WEEKLY NEWS FOR AID
VERTIsERS.

The attention OF advertisers is called to the
advantages offered to them in the SAVANNAH
WEEKLY NEWS. This well known paper con
Hsts Of y pages, containing 81 columns Of
printed matter, made up from the cream Of
the telegraphie and general news Of the daily
issues, and large amount of original matter
II also contains a carefully edited agricultu-
al and farm department, and a weekly mar
ket especially adapted to its conshtu-
sncy.
1t is the favorite business and family paper
Of the farmers, merchants and mechanics OF
Southern and Eastern Georgia, and of Florida.
The WEEKLY NEWS is carefully read in thou
sands of homes, stores and workshops. and then
It passes from hand 20 hand until it Is read
by an entire neighborhOod. The character Of
the WEEKLY NEWS. and that of the people
who read 1t. makes it valuable medium in
which TO advertise. 1t reaches to a greater
extent than any other paper published in its
section the intelligent and thoughtful people
of the Southeast; people who havemany wants
TO satisfy, and the means with which to sup
ply them. The merchants of Savannah and
elsewhere will find no better paying invest
ment than an advertisement in the WEEKLY
NEWS. Estimates for advertising given on
application at the Counting Room.

A Pastoral Visit to a Vain Sister.

From, the Bristol Mercury and Daily Post.
The Rev. Z. G. Gange, speaking at Bristol
the other night, said he believed in careful
preparation at home Of sermons for the sun
day, instead of "gadding about from house to
house visiting" In his early career he was
earnestly requested by deacon to visit a
member of the congregation who was very i'll,
and it was suggested that he should call at IL
O'Clock IN the morning. He did so, and found
the poor woman very much better, but great
ly put out at his visit. as she had her hair in
curl paper, her sleeves tucked up TO her ell
bows, and was doing bit of household sweep
ing and busting. He begged her not TO mind
him, as he was FUSED to that sort of thing"
He would have short prayer-he would not
be long; they knew he never was long about
anything.
He selected chair and knelt down; she Sc
lected another; and he began the prayer. He
heard the door opened once; he heard it open
ed a second time He concluded an earnest
prayer on the poor Woman's behalf, and on
looking round-lO! perfect transform alton.
While he was praying she had slipped up to
her bedroom, washed her hands and face,
curled her hair, changed her attire-and there
she was in her very best silk, fttingly pFepar-
ed to receive company, while ne had been
praying among the empty chairs.

The Broken Rice Question.

A pamphlet just issued by the State De-
partment on pounding aud polishing rice
contains an article by Mr.. Looming, Amer.
Jean consul at Bremen, which shows
where the granulated or broken rice.
about which the customs authorities have
had 80 much discussion lately, comes
from.
AS is we'll known this graduated rice
is used largely by brewers and starch
manufacturers. With respect to the way
in which this broken rice is produced
Consul Looming says: ',o.t t-.t
Rice is shelled, cleaned and polished by a
process OF fOrcible grinding, In which OPP
GRAFTON some of the grains OF rice are una
vOidably broken more or less fine, and are
afterwards sifted through sleeves of va
rious sizes, thus producing different
grades and GLASSES of broken rice.
As far as | have been able to observe in
the rice mills here, l find no speclaLgrind-
ing process for manufacturing granulated
rice, although it can easily be done, and a
prominent rice miller here proposes that
If the United States Treasury Department
object to his broken rice as granulated
rice, to submit it again to a supplementary
grinding process, although that would
not materially alter the appearance OF the
broken rice, as it had already been broken
and granulated by a special fOrcibly
grinding prOcessin the Smelling and clean
ing aforesaid.
Some rice millers here claim that their
process of cleaning rice is at the same
time intended as a special process OF
graduating rice.
The rice planting interests claim that
under the law this granulated rice should
pay the full duty on rice-viz.: 2Hc. pei
pound-because it is not manufactured
article, and is not rice meal or flour such
as the law provides shall be admitted al
20 per cent. ad valorem. The brewers and
starch manufacturers insist that it should
be admitted at 20 per cent. ad valorem
under section 2513 of the tariff laws, which
provides TOR the admission Of unenumer-
ated manufactured articles.
The Treasury Department has decided
in favor Of the brewers, although the APP
praiser at New York held that the broken
rice in question was not manufactured
article. What Consul Looming says lndi
Gates pretty clearly that it is not manu-
| factured article. IL it were, the Bremen
millers would hardly offer to put /
through another process in order to make
1 IL Il manufactured article. 1t is not i'm.
| probable that the question will soon b,
brought before the Treasury Department
again

A Cow with a Wooden Leg.
From the London Field.

Some time ago a valuable COW, the property
of Mr.. Botieritl HUDSON, of Nation, broke her
leg, and MIR. Hudson, being DESTROYS of saving
the COW for the sake of fine Well-bred calf
then running with her. desired Mr.. Snarry to
amputate the limb. This was done, and the
veterinary then tried the ingenious plan Just
carried to successful Issue. A rudely CON
structed wooden leg was made under Mr..
Snarry's direction. and the COW did 30 well on
the artificial limb, the stump Of the leg heal
ing so naturally. too, that, when all swe ling
had subsidized the veterinary had a more
artistic and permanent timber" constructed,
and the COW may now be seen stumping about
the meadows as cOntented, and apparently
almost rs active, as when supplied with the
fun complement of legs intended for her by
nature. Prof. Williams, of Edinburgh, says
he knows Of but one case anything like q
parallel 70 this. and that occurred in Wales.
