Our Philadelphia correspondent in the
HERALD Of yesterday exposed trick Of
the Republican party in Philadelphia, that
while startling in its detail of fraud, does
not surprise us in the least, as in that city
there is no meaps of dishonest voting to-.
low for them to stoop to. The trick wa
to take the panpers from the Aims House,
and by registering them in twenty different
wards under different names, they would
be enabled upon the day Of election to vote
just that many times. The fraud was dis
covered in time to stop it. 1t is by just
such desperate efforts as this to get party
support that the Republicans hope to win,
as the fight against them is desperate, and
their waning power is told by the unfailing
signs Of every day occurrences.

IT is wonderful with what tenacity peo-
pie living under Republican form of gov

aristocratic society. One Of the most sus-
gestive instances of this is paragraph
that we constantly see in the papers that
Mrs. So and So will introduce her daugh-
ter to Washington Society upon certain
day. If the President were to advertise in
this way that he weuld upon certain day
show all the mules, gold watches, bull pups
and brown stone fronts presented to him,
we should think nothing Of it, but for a
doling mamma to advertise that her daugh-
ter will he trotted out upon certain day
for society's inspection is too much like the
ways of our snobbish cousins across the
waters for us to fancy in Democratic

A CORRESPONDENCE Of The Cincinnati


Commercial writing from Mississippi about
the election there next Tuesday, says he
thinks the Democrats will secure the
Legislature, and adds: II am convinced
that more negroes will vote with the
whites than ever before. There are sew.
eral counties where from 200 to 400 are
enrolled in Democratic clubs. At the
large Democratic demonstration at Holly
Splings, Thursdsy, there were over 500
colored men in the procession. They were
received with larger volume of yells and
applause than any other feature Of the
procession called cut. When a darksy
once crosses the Rubicon and lands in the
Democratic camp the warmth of his re.
seeption exceeds the descriptive power of
language. .


This is precisely as we statep in an
editorial this week. The colored people
of the South after having been robbed Of
work and money by the carpet-bagger have
become convinced that the only way to
secure prosperity is to drive this danger


ous element from among them, and defeat
in the national election the head Of the
party that has given them encouragement
and life in their nefarious schemes.

The alarm of fire about clock on
last Sunday morning was caused by
the burning of two houses on the cor
ner of Seventh and Nun streets. The
fire caught in the house directly on
the corner, belonging to e, Kidder,
Esq, which was unoccupied at the
time, and extended to that adjoining it
on Seventh street, owned by Mr. Cur
tbs and occupied by himself and Mr..
Joseph Hodges. Both were small
frame houses and both are said TO have
been insured, but to what amount we
did not ascertain. As there was no

at the time, the fire is very reasonably

q 1t isat very likely that these bummers
can sell good groceries for less than our

OF the matter IS they do not sell first

that are almost worthless. Their sales are
mostly among farmers, and we dare saw
our farmer friends often pay larger price

: THE Emperor of China who has just died,

by the custom of the Chinese which allows
the Emperor to add three years to his age,
was twenty-five years old. He leaves about
dozen wives to mourn his death. Who his
successor will be is mere matter of specula-
ton as there is no hereditary accession to the
Chinese throne. 1t is customary, however,
for the Emperor to name his successor at the
time of his accession reserving the right to
change his mind. As the late Emperor had
four uncles, one of them Prince Kung, SO
long regent, it is not improbable that his sue
cessor is cousin; and it is extremely likely
that Prince Kung will again be regent.

Not long since saw communication
on Making Good Bread and as your
worthy paper is devoted to the interest
of the human family in general, and of
farmer in particular, by your permission
| will take the liberty to comment little
on the above communication. The man
ner of preparing the yeast, making and
raising the dough. and baking, is all
probably worthy Of attention; but in the
main and most essential feature beg
leave to differ from hm-thst is in har
vcsting the wheat. My experience has
taught me that first class loaf OF bread
cannot be made from a poor quality Of
wheat, also that there is a loss sustained
in quality and quantity in letting wheat
stand until it is dead ripe Your CORE
spondent said to cut wheat when in green
state. the straw and wheat would both
mould No doubt of it; but there is a
medium between the green state and the
dry, shelling state, ,thatsi preierablee, at
least, to the experienced farmer and mill
cr If wheat stands until thoroughly
ripe, it is more tedious cutting, binding,
shocking, handling, and stacking requires
more labor, and there is often great loss
in sheling out, in the frequency of hand
ling, and the grain is Of less value, and
the straw worth but little for feed. 1t is
true that circumstances alter ceses, and
we cannct always have crops harvested
Mt the proper time; but that should not
deter us from experimenting to know
when and bow to act in all the different
phases of husbandry.


My experience has taught me that when
weather would permit and harvest hands
are comeatable, the proper time to cut is
when the grain is in doughy state, or
can be mashed with the thumb and fin
ger, and the straw a bright yellow, and be-
fore the heads turn down much, Shock
up and cap good; should the weather be
occasionally showery, put in long shocks.
II favorable weather in eight or ten days
put in barn or stack If stacked, have
them well topped out. Let the grain re
main in stack at least two weeks to sweat
before threshng stack the straw well,
for it may be needed; you will then have
wheat, il good variety, from Which a
competent miller can turn out satisfacto
ry quantity and quality of -four, and make

CsMPoUNDING felony is fashionable
crime, and so frequent that ordinary
cases scarcely attract public notice. A
very extraordinary case has lately come
to light in New England. The Soubegan
National Bank of Milford, N. FL was
robbed last October by masked burglars.
The detectives failed to find any clew to
the stolen property. After all efforts in
this direction had been abandoned the
President of the bank received q tele-
gram from pretended detective i'll Bal
timore which induced him to visit that
city and grant an interview. Several in
terviews were held between the Presi-
dent and the robbers, and the former,
becoming satisfied that the stolen prop
erty could be obtained in no other way,
was persuaded to bring on 10000, the
sum demanded for its restitution, from
home. We let the story continue in the
language of the reporter:


"Mr. Towne was taken to the private
office of the so-called detective and re-
quired to place a certain sum OF money
on the table. When this was done the
agent raped ON the door, which was
instantly opened and package thrown
in. Mr.. Towne was requested to exam
inc this, which he did, occupying neaAy
two hours. Among mass of securities
he found many belonging to his bank,
which he checked and laid one side.
When this was done he was requested to
place another sum of money on the
table, which he did, and another package
was thrown in and examined as before.
This resulted in the recoveL IF many of
the missing papers and some which had
not been missed. Mr. Towne was thep
informed that this was all that could be
done for him, and he was allowed to
pocket the vaiaables and departin peace.
His situation during the negotiation was
not an epviable one, as he knew he was
dealing with desperate men, with whom
he was forced to trust himself with
large sum of money, with no security
against assassination"


The condition of the detective service
in the United States is pretty well ex-
posed by this criminal proceeding on the
part of the New Hampshire bank
officials. Doubtless the detectives will
remain the most accomplished and mer-
ciless thieves in the world so long as they
find it profitable to maintain the tradl-
tional policy of Addition, Division and
Chicago Tribune.
