CHARLESTON, Nov. 2G.-The ballots OF
Alum Creek precinct OF this county
which were placed in the custody of
Bill Dave Goshorn, County Clerk, en-
closed in a stout MANILA envelope and
carefully sealed, were found to-day by
the Board OF Commissioners to have
been tampereJ with, the envelope having
been torn open, md upon recount of
the ballots it was found that A. B.
Littlepage Democratic candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney had gained thirty
votes and Anderson, for Congress, nine
votes at precinct that cast only forty
four Democratic votes. There is no
doubt that Republican ballots were ex-
tracted and Democratic ones substituted
after the ballots were sealed and deliver
ed to Democratic commissioner, who
delivered the same to County Clerk
Goshorn, as the votes were counted and
the tallies made at the precinct in the
presence of number OF voters OF both
parties.
Steps are being taken to bring the ras'
calls to justice. The recount sstill going
on, and it remains to be seen how much
rascality the guilty parties have been

John Fcnskc, the watchman at the
Standard mill oil house, who was struck
Saturday night by William Evans for re-
iusing Evans a,imittance to the oil
house, lived just forty-eight hours after
he was struck, dying Sunday evening at
I o'clock. Coroner Boyd, OF Bellaire,
held nm inquest over the remains yes
terday afternoon at the residence OF the
deceased at Martins Ferry. Doctors j.
NJ. Todd and Mcclure were delegated to
hold n post mortem examination, which
was done underthe COroner's immediate
Supervisions. They found an extensive
fracture OF the skull behind the right
eur and beneath which there was eight
to ten ounces of coagulated blood, the
presence OF which on the brain produc-
ed paralysis and death. The coroners
inquest was continued for the examina-
tion OF witnesses TO the quarrel and the
men engaged in it. The burial OF the

CLEARLY it is not from such partisan
bodies as tie Commissioners Of Ohio
county that the people are to expect JUS

opinisn OF a Democratic lawyer OF char

was not the opinion they wanted.
They preferred to take counsel OF the

tifcate to the person lawfully entitled
thereto, and this has been done in more
than one ofthe States.
In case decided by the Supreme
Court OF the State OF Missouri, which
was used on the argument OF the cases
in this county in 1885, the court laid
down n rule that governs the case now
pending at Chattanooga, touching the
right OF the Republican Congressman to
the certificate OF election. The court
there decided that in the proceeding Of
mandamus TO compel the Board of Can
vassers to account for votes returned by
officers OF the election when il appears
that an alteration has been made in the
returns OF the vote, and the canvassers
do not know whetherit was made before
or after the return was delivered to them
by the officers Of election, the Circuit
Court will inquire and determine what
the return as delivered actually was, and
compel the canvassers to make the count
accordingly.
As was stated by Chief Justice Shaw,
OF the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
it is competent for the Court to inquire
into the facts, and to require the Can
vassing Board to do what it was plainly
their duty to do-namely, to declare and
certify, il such was the fact, that the
candidate had the highest number OF
votes for the office, and to issue the GER
titicate accordingly. 1t would be mon-
strous to say, as was attempted to be
said when Dan Dalton was assuming the
he did, that the Canvassing
Boards were absolutely beyond control
in the matter of the issuing OF the GER
titicates, and that they could issue GER
tiiicate to one who was not elected, or
was not even a candidate, and then say
to the person who was robbed OF his
certificate: you must take your ap-
peal for your seat to the body Of which
the person who has wrongfully obtained
the certificate is member and a Judge"
1t is true that in Congress, when the
title to seat is in question before that
body, the person whose title to the seat
is contested can not and does not vote
on the title, but he may vote on the title
person TO his seat, even though
the same questions arc presented in that
case as in his. So that, il a sufficient
OF Democratic candidates are
certified as elected, ana get their seats
in the House by force OF those Certif-
Gates, those wrongfully in possession Of
the certificates have the right to vote on
every other case but thcirown, and thus
one has the spectacle of the receivers OF
stolen goods sitting in judgment on the
title to the property.
Any Court to which an appeal may
he made in this matter is better than the
Returning Boards which have jurisdic-
ton OF the canvass OF the returns, espe-
cially If those Returning Boards arc OF

ings are described in the graphic letter

Special Dispaieh to he Intc'iigeaeG.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 2G.-The
Supreme Court met and adjourned till
tomorrow at the request of Col. st. Clair.
1t is thought the object is to compel the
County Court to take evidence in regard
to certain alleged frauds. The recount
is going on, four precincts having been
counted to-day. Fleming gained one
vote.
The Alum Creek envelope was found
torn open and tue ballots off the string.
The Democratic counsel claimed they
had been tampered with. But the re.
count gave Anderson (Dem.) gain OF
nine and Littlepage, (Dem.) for Prose-
cutting Attorney, a gain of thirty.
Now the Republicans say they propose
to investigate, There seems to be no
doubt the ballots were tampered with.
Nothing is known here of any action
in regard to alleged frauds in Mercer and
Mcdowell. The Republicans, however,
claim to be'ablc to throw out almost the
entire vote of Logan and Boone counties
on contest, and say they can prove
that colored voters were driven from the
polls, and that some were assaulted at
strong Democratic precincts in Fayette
county. They say that kind of contest
is all the fun they want.
Hon. G. b. Smith and John A. Hutch
inson, his counsel, are here.

Special Dispateh to The IateHtgenea.
GRAFTON, Nov. 26.-The Democratic
party, judging from the columns OF its
organ, is dying hard, aAd with its ex'
piring breath is charging fraud upon the
part of Republicans wherever m in
crease in the Republican vote is shown.
While the Democrats are charging fraud,
it may not be inappropriate to inquire
something as to its own party frauds,
and we need not go further than the ad-
Joining counties OF Barbour and Ran
dolph, where evidences OF numerous
illegal voters may be had. In Randolph,
as IN instance, have before me the
names OF eleven Democrats who are
known to have voted for Fleming and
the entire Democratic ticket. These
eleven Democrats are foreigners who had
located in Randolph county. Their first
naturalization papers were taken out
last June, and in September they re-
ceived their citizen papers from the
County Court. Neither the County
Court nor its clerk had any right what
ever to issue any such papers, and their
votes were fraudulent and Illegal. 1t Is
alleged that the Clerk OF the County
Court went to the settlement OF these
foreigners in June and gave them their
first papers, and ut the time he started
remarked that he was going to this set
tlement to make more Democratic voters.
1t should be noted that the clerk is the
same honorable gentlemen who reported
election returns in 1884 so rs to show
the majority for Governor Wilson TO be
above 1000. Now, with this evidence
of fraud, let the investigation begin in
Randolph county and not end until
every illegal voter and all concerned in
it, are made to feel the full penalties OF

NEw MARTINsvILLE, w. VAp Nov. 20.
The returns of "Upper Green" pre-
cinct OF Green township, Wetzel county,
MS recounted to-day by Chief Justice
Earnshaw and Associate Justice Delaney,
of the County Court, show that the
election officers OF that precinct in count
ing l25 votes for G. W. Atkinson, for
Congress, counted fourteen votes for him
that he did not receive. That the tick
cts have been tampercd with every Re-
publican in the county is confident, and
not few Democrats are just rs sure.
The Board adjourned last Wednesday on
the representation OF Mr.. Earnshaw that
his wife was i'll and he must 60 to her.
Since that time, the ballots, some OF
them sealed, and many OF them in that
condition OF looseness that has more
than once given the Democratic party an
advantage in this State, have remained,
when not disturbed, in the unprotected
store box in the County Clerks office.
Mr. Earnshaw passed Saturday and
Sunday here and was much Of the time
in and around the Court House, in COM

clerk of the County Court. This morn
ing he was on hand, but as Associate
Justice Horner had not come in the
other members concluded to wait for
him.
At2:45 o'clock It was announced that
the vote counting would proceed with

was on band for Mr.. Pendleton, Judge
Umstead appeared for Judge Fleming
and Capt. Basil I. Bowers for Mr.. At
