FORILLEGAL VOTING.
Another Arrest for a Violation OF the Fed
eral Election Law.

Another Arrest for Violation of the Fed
eral Election Law.
Yesterday afternOOH, ut o'clock, the
Justly celebrated Leon Van Walt was ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Forbes, charged with illegal voting
nj the late election. The arrest was made
under section 55ll of the Revised Statutes,
and the prisoner was secured by Detective
T. Z. ShallcrOsS.
Van Walt, who is a Republican, pre-
santed himself at the Second ward polls,
and offered his vote. He was challenged
on the ground that he was not resident
of the district, and on being sworn he
said he was a bona fde resident, and had a
room over McManaway's saloon. On
this his vote was allowed, but 1T
being later ascertained that he had
no room in the place designated, he was
arrested rs stated. The evidence adduced
before the Commissioner showed that Van
had sworn falsely at the polls, and he was
committed to Jail. The amount of bail
was not fixed yesterday, but definite
figure will probably be chosen to-day.
This is the second arrest for illegal vOt-
ing at the Market house poll. The matter
is not the petty one it is alleged to be in
some quarters, but is n serious question,
affecting the political interests OF all good
citizens. 1t is an open secret that illegal
voting has been carried on at two OF three
polls in this city for several elections past,
and especially at the Second ward precinct
OF Madison district, and it is time some
examples were being made.

A GENERAL HOLIDAY.
VERY LITTLE BUSINESS TRANSACTED IN
THE CITY YESTERDAY.
Tbs Cburcbss Well Attended and Interesting Sermons

Well PatroniEsd.

The day Of National Thanksgiving has
seldom been better observed in this city
than on yesterday. Very little business
of anv sort was transacted. Mills and
workshops were generally off a part
or all of the day, and very large pro-
portion of the population gave up
the time to rest, attendance upon some
of the churches, or INDUCED in some mild
form of recreation, while everybody par
took of the delicacies and substantials
in the way of food, incident to the proper
keeping of the day. The churches were
quite well attended in the morning, while
the theaters were filled to overfiowing
in the afternoon and evening. Last
night the numerous public balls
attracted hundreds of young people, while
many happy family groups gathered about
the fireside and INDUCED in pleasant mem
cries of other Thanksgiving long gone by.
Out of doors the day was far from
pleasant QUE, a steady fall of snow contin-
uing from daybreak until dark, while the
air was raw and chilly, but this did not
seem to interfere in the least with the full
enjoyment of the day, and there were
many pedestrians out upon the streets.
There was comparatively: little drunken
ness or disorder, considering the quantity
of egg-nog and other liquids imbibed dur
ing the day and evening, and taken as a
whole, the day was pleasant aud profit

the old market breaker is apparently on

she has been pumped, and the production
has run down to about ten barrels per day.
Workmen are now engaged in clearing
her out in the hope that she may do bet

barrels in twenty-fOur hours under the in

barrels per day.

The contest between Messrs. Darrah and
Barrett, over in Belmont county, for the
Office of Auditor, is becoming interesting.
The two candidates are now tie, with the
outcome very uncertain, rs the votes cast
in number of townships yet remain to be
examined. The last boxes examined were
those for Wheeling township, the fact be-
ing developed that more ballots were cast
than there were names of voters Oh the
tally sheets. There were 2i6 names
of voters enrolled by the clerks,
and when the count of the ballots
was commenced double ticket was
found. This was of course thrown out rs
the law provides, and the count went on.
Toward the last another double ticket was
picked up and thrown out rs WAS the one
before. This reduced the total number
of votes to be counted to pa, but the
Judges proceeded with the count until all
the ballots in the box were counted and
strung on a string, when the total number
counted made 2i5. The last ticket count
ell was 4 straight Democratic ticket. The
law provides that the judges shall count
the ballots until the total of those taken
from the ballOt-bOx equals the number OF
names enrolled and then stop. Hence i'll

A GRAVE MATTER.

Another serious question was our large
hospitality. Out latch-string is out to all
the world. 1t is too late to repeat the eX
pertinent ola Chinese wall against any
body. Men and women who wish to take
up their residences among us must he
allowed to come if they behave
themselves. But it is not to be
overlooked that,all this subjects our in
situations to an immense strain. Our
cities are more difficult TO govern in con-
sequence of this constant influx Of stran-
gers, who are unframed to the methods
and uses of freedom. More than once has
the riot act been called into requisitiOn to
Quell disturbances melted by men who
had been here hardly long enough for
their names TO be known. The case is
aggravated by the characters of many of
these newcomers. They are q perpetual
menace to order and thrift and property
rights. Men used TO come from the Old
World to the New because they loved
liberty; now n good many come because
they love license to do as they please
Men used To come in order to have free
scope TO worship God according to the
dictates of their own consciences now many
of them come that they may the
more eGectually dishonor the name
of God. Men used to come that
they might build up homes and Sc
cure a competency for their families; now
a good many come that they may disturb
the peace in which Others toll, and rob
the industrious and prudent of their pa
tient earnings. In some Of our cities inf
del societies meet on the Sabbath and pass
resolutions, whose sole object seems to be
to tear down the editices of capital which
