1 1 legal Voting.
Nkw York, November 9.? A large
gang of Philadelphia repeaters, esti
mated at four hundred, came to this city
to vote for Norton, Tammany candidate
for Senator in the Fifth District. When
they arrived they found that Norton
had no money, and as a consequence
they were hired to go to the Feurth
Senatorial District, and they put in
thousands of illegal votes for the Tam
many candidates. When the votes
were counted in many of the districts
the doors were closed and no one was
allowed in the polling places except the
Tammany gang. Rossa can prove
frauds in nearly every district, and re
lies on the Senate acting in the same
manner as Congress did in the case of
.James Brooks: Other lteform candi
will coutest the result.
Yesterday quite a number of persons
were examined at the j>olice court in
this city, charged with illegal voting on
Tuesday and remanded for trial, and ll
found guilty will suffer the extreme
penalty of the law.
The Eleotlou.
The returns of the election come in
very slow, but the probabilities are tl*at
the* Republican majority in the State
will be between 15,000 and 18, 000. The
Legislature is two-thirds Republican in
both brauches. In fact, it appears pro
bable that the Republicans will have as
many majority in the next Legislature
as they had at any previous time, and,
counting iu the Senate, will probably
have more thau fifty-seven majority
over two-thirds.
The vote in this citv is not yet all
returned but so far as heard from Sigel s
majority is 25.000. Barrett for Su

Sanitary Mfwtur**.
At a meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday, Dr. C. E. Cerine called the
atttention of the Board to the increase
of smallpox in the city for the past
month. The doctor said if some means
were not quickly adopted to check the
increase of this frightful ravage, the city
would soon be surrounded with the
pestilence. The matter was referred to
the Sanitary committee.
Ex.ANSemblyuiau Arretted.
Hon. James Civing, an ex-Assembly
man, was arrested this moruing on a
warrant issued by Commissioner White,
charging him with complicity in the
deadly assault committed upon Deputy
Marshal Dowling on Monday last.
Civing was discharged on his own re
cognizance and immediately rearrested
on?a warrant issued by Commissioner
Davenport, charging him with tl?e
same offense. The Commissioner com
mitted him without bail for examina
tion to morrow noon. Giving s counsel
announced their intention of procuring
a writ of habeas corpus.
Arreivt of Thouin* C. Field*.
Thomas C. Fields, assemblymen

in the recent election, was arrested to
day, on a warrant charging him with
fraudulently obtaining upward of $450,
000, from the city Treasury, in the pay
ment of certain claims, brought by him
in behalf of the members ol the o,d
volunteer fire department. He was
admitted to bail in the sum of J OO, 00
his securities qualifying for double that
sum.

Tweed being interviewed yesterday
said that he was not prepared to answer
any questions regarding his reported
resignation. But it is pretty certain
tliat the report is untrue. Tweed said
the great success of the Reform party
took him completely by surprise and he
was totally unprepared for it. Tweed's
counsel stated yesterday that he would
hurry the trial of the charges of the
Reform committee. They had no rea
son to wish delay.
The Tribune say* that Tweed ha*
heen rapidly transferring his projierty
to other hands. A few days ago he
sold another piece of valuable property,
which cost two millious, to his son.
lie lias also been selling stock in various
railways and other companies in
most instances at a sacrifice. He no
longer figures as a Director of the Third
avenue railroad. His name was
dropped for the reason that he has
lately sold all his stock in that line
He held, at the time Mr. O'Connor
began the suit against him, 7<>0 shares
ot Metropolitan gas stock, worth about
$1,365,0?M). He ordered its immediate
sale after the suit began, and though
the then rate was $1.95, forced it on the
market and disposed ot it tor about
$1 70. H? is reported to have attempted
to sell the lease of the Metropolitan
Hotel.
There is universal satisfaction over
ths results ol the election by men of all
parties.

savs the Legislature will at once pro
ceed toerasefrom the statute book the
nefarious laws that gave so much j>ower
to the rascals who uad so nearly ruined
the credit of the city through their
misgovernmant. The suits agaiust the
ring officers will not be allowed to lan
guish, although they would not be
pressed quite so heavily as heretofore,
it had been the object of the prosecu
tiou to place the evidence before the
people, in order that they might be pro
perly considered before the election and
thus give honest citizens an opportunity
j ol turning out of office the scoundrel's
who had so long defrauded the citv.
But the suits would proceed, as there
was no intention of allowing them to
i rest, or to relieve the rogues from the
I legal lash which they so richly deserve.

of arrest, which had been granted
against him, expired no Saturday. On
Tuesday he appeared at the polls in the
Nineteenth ward, voted the Tammany
ticket and returned. Yesterday he sent
a messenger to the Sheriff's office, with
the information that he awaited his
arrest with considerable impatience, and
had gentlemen in readiness to sign the
bond for his release. Ilis arrest cannot
be effected until a new order be granted.
This probably will be done to-day.

The following statement relative to
the alleged frauds in Indian bouutv
and pensions has been obtained from
the War Department After the mus"
ter out of the First, Second and Third
Regiments of the Indian home guards,
claims for bounty were set up, but stout
ly resisted by the War Department,
and in every instance the pressure ex
tended to the Executive, and in order
to defeat it the late Edwin M. Stanton,
then Secretary of War, reviewed the
matter in the Cabinet April 29, 1868,
and submitted a written memoranda of
the facts, attested by the Secretary of
the Navy, Mr. Wells. The action of
the Cabinet officers defeated the attempt
to secure the bounty and caused the
claims to be carried to Congress, where
relief was granted by Public Resolution
No. 4o, approved June, 1860. Subse
quently claims for the same troops were
made under the additional bounty
act of .July 2>\ 1S60, and they were re
sisted by the War Department because
the troops were home guards and as
such were not entitled, save under
special legislation of Congress.
Subsequently, however, September
19, I8i'?7, theSecretary of War, General
Grant acting, referred it to the Attor
ney General, and September 21, 1867,
that officer Mr. Stanburv gave the
opinion that the soldiers were entitled
to a bounty, under the Act of dulv 28,
i860. (Jen era I (Jrant, upon advise
ment reports from the Adjutant Gener
al and Paymaster General, again on the
7th of Uetober, 1807, referred the mat
ter to the Attorney General, Mr. Ewin^,
who decided that the tacts in the reports
from the Adjutant General and Pav
master General did not modify tlie
opinion as given by Mr. Stanbury.
The matter thus rested until August
2'.', IS0\ when the Secretary of War,
General Schoiield, for the third time!
placed the matter beiore the Attornev J
General, inviting attention to certain
points, and on the 22d of September,
1808, the Attornev <?etieral, through
his assistant, replied adhering to the
former opinion. October 20th, 1S0S,
the Secretary of war. General Schofield,
referred the ca.?e to the Paymaster
General for his action under tlie opinion
of the Attorney General.
The subject in part was again brought I
up through Jno. W. Wright, March 20,
1^7i>, in consequence of his finding
official rejxirts from the War Depart I
nit' ii t records in the wav of his receiv- 1
ing excessive payment of bounty in tlie i
cases of some seventy widows and or
phans of the I ndinns and therefore lie
charged that the said reports were false.
The War Department adhered to its
reports in the said cases. It is not
known that Wright i-ecured the said
excessive payment from the Treasurv
Department. The whole ea?e i* now
undergoing a thorough investigation.

it is understood that they will apply to

Convention of Nt<-nmboiit ((hint*.
Loiisvillb, November 9 The com
mittee on Steamers reported that they
fully concurred on steamers as reported
by the Cincinnati SteamboatConvention
with two exceptions, and recommended
the use of idanca tin and steam gauges,
as in the law of 1871.
The committee on Transportation re
ported in favor of adopting the law a*
now in force, with minor changes.
The License committee approved
sections 12, 15, 16 and 17 as in the
original law, and sections lil, 14, 18, 20,
21, 29 and 48, except the last clause as
adopted by the Cincinnati association.
The committee on Life Saving Appa
ratus reported having examined tbe sec
tions referred to, viz: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 21, 27 and 52, but did not see any
changes to recommend. Adopted.
A printed report from the committee
on Marine was received. It thought
the legislative power of inspectors should
be reduced and the board made to re
port to Congress instead of being allowed
to make laws themselves. As regards
light, the committee recommended the
enactment of a law allowing all steam
ers to use refined petroleum of 140 de
grees fire test.
Captain N. J. Biglev, of Pittsburgh,
offered a resolution that the Convention
memorialize the Council of Louisville,
asking that the wharfboat of the Mail
Company be moved further up for the
better security of towboats entering the

Louisville delegates.
A motion for the Convention to raise
$1(1 ,000 tor future purposes caused con
siderable discussion, but it was finally
referred to the committee on General
Business.
Captain W. J. Kountu offered a reso
lution tor the Convention to take into
consideration the inspection of steam
boat hulls; how and by whom they
shall be inspected. Referred to com
mittee on General Business.

dier. At Springfield, and on the reor- 1
ganiz.ition of this branch ol the army,
he took service a* a Confederate. Af
terwards he joined a company in Colonel
Up. Hays' regiment, and participated in
the battle of Lone Jack.
Before leaving home, however, his
mother gave him an old-fashioned gold
ring, which had a heart upon it, and
letters "R. S." engraved upon this heart. I
She placed it on her son's hand with
a wish, or rather a prayer, that he j
might go through the war safely, and
get safely back home again.
It is not known that either the ring
or the prayer acted as a charm, but the
young man went unharmed through
many bloody fights, being hit in but one
of them, the wound then proving to be
only a mere scratch.
In 1864 the young man was very
sick ot a fever at Clarksville, Texas.
During the delirium attendant upou
it, and while he was tossing to and fro,
the ring slipped from his finger and
was lost. The closest search failed to
find it, and it was given up for good.
There waited upon liini, however, a
very pretty and amiable girl, who
seemed to be sorry when he got well
enough to rejoin his command. When
he left he laughingly told her that if she
would find his ring, and if he lived he
would come back and marry her. If
this promise was made at first with any
degree of sincerity, it was soon forgot
ten in the excitement and care of a
soldier s lile, and only at rare intervals
perhaps, did lie recall thesick room and
the ministering angel.
When the war was over, the young
man returned to his fathers tarin in
Jackson county, and went to work in
good earnest. Two years ago his
mother died, and once more the loss of
the ring came back to him with redoub
led sorrow. lie determined to write
to the lady who had nursed him, and to
inquire of her whether she was mar
ried or not, and whether she had ever
seen or heard anything of the present
his mother had made him.
The letter was written in August,
1809, and in March, 1870, what was his
surprise to receive an answer from the
identical girl he had left in 1864, and to
whom he had made a light promise ot
marriage. She was still single, she
said, and waiting for him. And what
was stranger still, only five days before
e wrote, she had found the lost ring.
The manner of finding it was as fol
lows: The lather of the young lady
had determined to make some repairs
in his house, which repairs necessitated
the taking up of the floor of the room
in which the soldier had been sick.
After doing this, and while digging away
some rubbish beneath, the workmen
came upon the ring. It had slipped
through a crack in the floor, and had
been lying there, safe and sound, for
nearly live long years. The lady took
possession of it at once, and wrote im
mediately to its owner, as we have
stated above. Perhaps she looked
upon its recovery as an omen, and per
haps it was. At an; rate it was a little
romantic with all its attending circum
stances.
The correspondence thus commenced,
or other renewed, was continued with
an ever increasing ardor on the part of
the gentleman, until in the end he made
a new and an impetuous off?-r of mar
riage Without that the story would
be incomplete. Last week, with money
in his pocket, a good home in Jackson
county and great happiness in hH heart,
this young soldier now somewhat I
older and more settled and sedate
started for CI trksvi'.le, Texas, the home
of his betrothed. Who can doubt of
the result? He will remain there
probably a month, and return again to
Missouri with hi? bride. When he does
we promise to give his name. Until i
then it i.? iwjiosaible, for the condition
of secrecv was attached to the informa- 1
tion before we could obtain it. The
circumstances, howrver, are just as we j
have narrated them in every particular
and furnish another to the long list of
romant c incidents that have grown out
of the war.
Time Set for Mr*. H hnrlon'a Trial.
The trial of Mrs Wharton, charged
with the poisoning of General Ketchum
and others, is definitely fixed to take
place at Annapolis on the 4th of De- j
cember next, ami the interest in the.
ca*c is consequently ae*ain revived. Ap J
plications are already pouring in on the
officials from larjre numbers of person*
requesting permit* to witness tbe pro- j
ceedtngs The array ol legal counsel i
on both sides is formidable. Mrs.
Wharton has been transferred fr'j rn the,
city jail of Baltimore to the jail at An
napolis, where ebe will awnt her trial, i
She is accompanied by her daughter, j
who lias so devotedly attended h?*r and
shared her incarceration since the day
of her arrest, never leaving her night or
day. They occupy a nicely furnished
room, situated over the apartment# in
which the Sheriff and his family reside,
and which has nothing in iw appear
ance to indicate that it is a portion of
the jail except the iron bars outside the
windows Mrs. Wharton and her
daughter are allowed to supply them
selves from without with such ntcessa
ries as they desire.
It id now given out that the
President has concluded not to declare
martial law in the South, unless contin
ued outrages shall make it necessary.
For which extreme elemenev ind con
sideration let the people be duly thank
ful Let them be warned, however,
that a persistent continuance in the
wickedness of voting the Democratic
ticket will constitute the "necessity"
I contemplated in tbs Prssidsntial mind.
ProcrfMlTf Farming.
"Successful and money-making farm
ers keep plenty of well-fed stocky
manure the land well, keep it clean, and
not unfreqnentlv lime and drain it, all
I tbia being a direct contract with the
outgoing farmer, who has impoverished
the land and himself. The ancient
farmer who cannot, will not, or, at
any rate, has not adapted him&ell to
modern requirements, goes to the wall.
In my early days, a small farmer did
much laborious work himself, and so
did his wife and family. He grew his
own wood, and had no coal bill, or a
very small one. He avoided butchers'
profits by salting down his own pork,
and only had butchers' meat once a
week. Eggs and poultry and butter went*
to market to enable the good wifetopro
cure dress, etc., for the lamily. It was
only on festive occasions that poultry
were consumed at home.'' This is the
experience of a well-known English
farmer, Mr. Mechi. It is also the
condition of thousands ot American
farmers at the present day, who must,
in this age ot progress, if they do not
advance, go themselves "to the wall.
m
Fair*.
Agricultural fairs are a peculiarly
American institution. In foreign
countries the lair is adapted to many
other uses. In Great Britain, <or in
stance, there are horse fairs, cattle
fairs, sheep fairs, and lairs where cheese,
butter, etc are the especial objects ol
attention. Hiring lairs are also held
at Michaelmas in each year, where
young men and women attend who wish
to dispose ot their services for the en
suing year. The most important fair
in the world is held annually at Nov
gorod, in Russia, where merchandise of
all conceivable varieties is sold, to the
aggregate value o( over a hundred
million dollars. It would be a great
convenience both to sellers and buyers
in this country were lairs periodically
held in each county, or a district ot two
or more counties. Olten a farmer,
after a prolonged search for a horse or
a cow, or a purchaser for such property,
finds, whet, too late, that an opportunity
to buy or sell might have been found
next door to him.
Urn* In IMitcc of |?dk?
There is hardly a family that does
uot throw away enough table scraps to
keep at least a dozen btni and many
that keep a nuisance in the shape of a
dog, that does no good, but costs mere
than a dozen good hens. One dog i.i
a neighborhood is generally a greater
trouble to the neighbors than a tlock
of hens would be; for if hens are well
fed at home, they rarely go away.
But who ever saw a dog that was not
a pest, running across the newly made
garden, and sticking his none into every
thing. Kill off the curs and give the
food to the hens, and you will find
pleasure as well as profit in so doing
We wish there was a tax of fl'X) on
every dog kept in the country. Those
that are of value as watch dog", could
be retained, while the host of snarling,
dirty curs would give place to some
more useful and less troublesome pet.
