investigation of Election Frauds,

To THE EDIToR-Sir: The citizen voters of
this state are anxious to be informed as to the
extent of the frauds which were practiced at
the last election, and they want to know how it
was done and who did the rascally work. The
question among a good many is how to ascer-
tain the facts-how TO GET at il.
Allow this suggestion: Let the legislature
raise a committee TO do that work and publish
the evidence and their conclusions. Empower
the committee TO select a stenographer, clerk
and sergeant-at-arms, TO send for papers and
witnesses, sit in vacation. ten days in each con-
gressional district except the Seventh, and
there thirty days. Issue process for witnesses
to any part of the state. For contempt of such
process empower them to report the same to
any court Of record or judge thereof in such
district for punishment.
Appropriate $4,000 for that purpose, subject
TO the certi6cation of such committee. This
would be money well spent and would be a
great saving to our people in the long run. No
exposition of these frauds can be relied on if
something of this character is not instituted by
democrats. ii.

Net tho Wrong Man.

FRAyCEsvILLE, Jan. 6.-[Special. &c. W:
Dowdell, an insurance agent of this place,
made an attack this morning on Wood Thrasher.
which will probably end fatally for him.
Drawing his revolver he pointed it at Thrasher
and snapped it. Thrasher then drew his revol-
yer and fired, the ball striking Dowell in the
right breast passing through and resting near
the shoulder blade. The shooting by Thrssher
is entirely justified by the whole community.
DOwell has for years been a terror to the COM
munity, having shot some parties and made
many threats that he would kill several others
before he would be satisfied. His recovery is
doubtful.
