(Bm6ados GIo6e, 10 Jme)
Under this headline, as far as we are con
cerned, there is something rotten in the
State Of Denmark" The steamer Oteri, on
Sunday, 18th May, left this port with Que
hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty
lnbourers recruited here for the Amazon,

by the Madeira amore Coy, through
Messrs. May &JECKYL, the contractors. The
owner Of the said steamer is a Nh. SPILLEB,
who, it is said, gets e20 sterling per head
on delivery. We have ascertained that the
rate of wages offered is So per day, and this,
without any written contract signed before
a Police Magistrate in accordance with the
requirements of the Emigration laws of this
island, which are very stringent. Now, we
take it, that 1t is the duty Of the Govern
meut to afford every protection to our la
bourers who are induced to 80 to any place
beyond the Kings Domlnions and, as
further shipments are conte mplated-the

An amazing story alleging bribery
and corruption in the election of Will

from Illinois was unfolded. to States
Attorney Wayman in Chicago the
other day by Representative Charles
A. White of st. Clair County, who
made a confession to the public prose-
cutor that he received $1,000 for his
vote.
Charges that the breaking of the
celebrated deadlock was accomplished
by the wholesale buying of votes at
prices ranging from $1,000 to $4,000,
were accompanied by further allega-
lions from White that he had particis
pated to the extent of 5000 in the

defeat or passage of legislation. The
disclosures, which shook State politics

Senator Lorimer makes emphatic
denial Of the White charges, and says
NO votes were purchased. Minority
Leader Lee O'Neil Browne asserts
that Whites story originated as a
