Dr.Au t-'i r.: I write to say to you
that I am sorry that I cannot make a
goi.d report from this place. There
was a disturbance in the early part of
iho day, which troke up the voting,
and a large number went home without
voting. I did all I could to get a fair
election, but failed. I went before the
Commissioners and asked them to give
us a legal number of Judges. They
refused to do so, aud. said if there was
any racancy oxi day of election the
ll'gislrar ctmld put on llepublicaus.
Thai also he refused to do here ir case
of a vacancy which occurred. The
Registrar acted very badly all the time.
I never have seen so much unlawful
work. The judges ruled out men clear
ly entitled to vote, and voted many not
entitled. They c" me to me in the
evening and wanted me' to try to get the
Republicans to voting again. I did not
reel it my duty, after so much illegal
work, to do anything thus, would cover
it. so I let it go by the b ard. There
were only 29 Republican votes castr
when there should have bot-u ever 300
Republican votes-

What is true of the reported Mate

" 'Iii addition to the brief ftateraeot on
the inside, we g're froui the Tine their
summary of the testimony of S. S.
Morey and James O'Brien. They will
both be indicted for peijury, if they
have not already been;
The interest in the confessions of S,
S. Morey and James O'Brien, the two
perjured witnesses who swo're in the
Phiip case that they personally cnew
the imythical U. L. Morey, to Whom
the forged Chinese letter was addressed,
was in nowise abated yesterday, and
crowds throoged the District Attor
ney's office all day, intent on learning
who are implicated by the statements
of the two men- At no time since the
exposure of the Tweed Riog has there
been more excitement among local
Democratic politicians than that which
bas been created by the abounding de
velopments which have followed the
perpetration of the Storey forgery.
The Chinese letter, which was relied
on by the Democrats to carry the elec
tion for Gen. Hancock, has proved a
perfect Nemesis to the party., and the
politicians are anxiously asking where
the avenging hand will strike first.
They found small - consolation in. the
District Attorney's office, however, yes
terday. Mr. Bell, ia whose hands the
case of thewo" perjurers rests, was as
silent as the grave, and to all questions
as to what was to be done, or who is
implicated, his one answer was. "I can't
say yet." Col. Blisi and Mr. Daven
port remained in the office, neglecting
their private business, from 10 o'clock
in the moruuig ii'itil 5 in the evening,
hurrying to and fro from one room to.
another and woikmg hard in aiding
Mr. Bell in the. work he is engaged in.
There was an air of mystery about the
office which no man 'not in the secret
could fathom. - The" only c.-rtaiuty Is
that Saaiuel S. Morey has seriously im
plicated certain prominent Democrats
of this City,. and that indictments have
already ,beeh drawn against these men.
Who
they
flhcy arc will not be known unil
have beeu Arrested, wh ch will
probably be very soon. '
Ju dice-. Morgan reached the Di.-trict
Attorney's ollic3. at 10 o'clock, and,
entering an inns r room, '-sent for Sam
uel S. Morey. Tho perjured witcess
hobbled painfully into the room ou his
crutches, and took his seat. The Don.
Edwin M. StoughtoiC' Col. Geo. Bliss
Assistant District Attorneys Bell and
Rollins, John I. Davenport, and Col.
Henry J. Johnson of Cumberland, Md.,
were also in the room.. Morey' con
fession, made on Wednesday, va read
to him, aud he signed hta name. as ho
said the 'niyihic.il il. L. Morey signed
his, in a 'bold, coarseliand." James
O'Brien, who personated Robert Lind
say, was then called before the Justice,
and sigued the staiemeut inrvj-.-- by him
on Weduesday. JiHtico Morgan held
both'men to bail in the sum of $-",000
to answer before tlie Grand Jury for
the crime of peijury. These proceed
ings lasted two hours and a half.
It seems at last to bo a settled thing
that General Joseph R. Hawley Will
be elected Senator ol Connecticut in
place of William W. Katon, whoso
term expires. This arrangement seems
to hare been assented lo generally by
the leading Republicans of Connecti
cut, including her most eminent men.
TheJIIartford W yields him its cor
dial support aud the New Haven
ladium 3ys. that whatever course it
thought proper to take heretofore in
regard to General Hawley it is now
heartily in favor of his election as Sen
tor, becauye it believes hiiu in every way
fitted for the joition, aud because he
has earned it, and because he is ucmis

A Democracy, not the parly falsely
so called, but a real Democracy, is a
form of government where all are equal
before the law, where every man has a
right to vote who shall rule over him
aud how 'the taxes he pays shall be ex
pended. This sort of a government is
designed for the benefit of the whole
people aod no one can te I what is for
the benefit of the whole people as well
as themselves if they Ire intelligent
enough to know. All 'other forms of
govern aicnt are bawl on the good of
the ruling c!as, and benefit the pcop!c
only as f.r as they are obliged to exu-t.
Xr true Democracy seeks. the gd of

it is managed in some way so that tbe

ike crow tried to sing for the fox, she
dropped the cheese into his, mouth. So
the people are cheated out of their
money, and, poor and ignorant, their

Their votes only injure themselves and
keep their "friends" in power. An

They of course mean to stay: Why get
what you don't Care to keep? jGoycrn
ment is not for the people, it is for their
own pockets) Having got hold of the
state pocket-book they can carry all
elections, do as they please.
Witness the Tweed ring iu New Y'ork
City stealing its millions of dollars,
aud then asking the people what they
are going to do about it. They will
change the Constitution aud laws so as
to keep in power and the people will
be deprived of any voice iu the matter.
Taxes will grow hcayier. the business
interests of the state wiil be peglected,
and the poor haviug no defender, will
grow still poorer.

But men in power are never satisfied.
Sooner or later some one will manage
to control tbe rest and by some mas
terly stroke place himself at the head

for the ignorant poor man then, except
under a Iree government where the
most are educated.

Shall we have a free government or
a despotism ? Look at our state. Thirty
two out of one hundred cannot read.
In heathen Japan, only one in ten can
not read. Look at Wisconsin, with al
most exactly the same population aud
the sa'me revenue paid to the Ucittd
States government. Threo men in one
huudred cannot read or write. Two
millions of dollars are paid anuually
for schools and there are 1G1 days of

North Carolina pays one-third of a
million a iyear and have, oh! shame!
only 4G d iys of schools to each scholar
per year. Just as a child gets fairly at
