Thk recent rote of is probably the most remarkable one in the annals of American politics.

That in a total vote of nearly four hundred thousand the major Jtr should not be more than the fifth of one per cent is astonishing. Ir thBepublicans have a small majorj ity in the Legislature and if some of the leading politicians follow the bent of their inclination when, the heat of the cam Pftlcm is over, we shall have one or two exciting iimes during the session.

Tbe fact could not be dodged that a vote for Hen dricks vu a rote forGreeley, and the re-' salt shows that Greeley's, strength wa rreater than that of any other candidate ic Indiana. There are also symptoms of Gree- ley's uperior strength in In tnis county, for Instance.

It Is clear that about four hundred Republicans who wonld not rote a Democratic ticket, voted for Wiley in 1 consequence of tbt suggestion that the rote for him should be made and accepted as test of. Gretlejrs stxengui. Wa believe this State can be carried for Greeley and Urown, if their friends will make the proper exertions. They will ot have so much to contend with ias they have haX Jhe Jldministrationista hare to divide their funds with several i other instead cJ concentrating them on this State and Pennsylvania, and when they come tQ spread their re- ources over twenty or thirty btates, haps they mar not be inexhaustible. The "liberals hare made arery successful fight, considering the immense capital they had to contend with, and the same pluck and persererance for three wcks more will give the electoral rote to Greeley.

If he gets Connecticut and or California and Indiana, he will be elected. A vxbt important modical discprery has recently been made byProi. Kagel, of Tubinren. in the use of strychnia as a remedy for blindness and decay of rision.

This Temedv has also been tried by occnJists elsewhere, and with marked success. Ws have heard a good deal said lately about election" frauds, and the leaders of both parties have repeatedly claimed that only swindling by their opponents could beat them. Xow that the election is over we still bear the cry of fraud, the beaten party in every, instance being the first to rsite it yt bave no doubt that frauds if I.

were committed on both aides to a limited extent, varying wiux the locality. The people have been' educated up to that I sort of thing for many years and the old leaven is not yet entirely worked but, al- though the 'recent election, we are glad to say, has an aspect of fairness' about it that Li unusual. i But some swindling his Deen aone, some illegal rotes polled and something ought to be done about it It is of no earthly use to haip about frauds and there js no poesiKlity of ever putting a stop to them unless some ene is punish ed for committing themv- The penalty is not severe enough, but such as it is, it I ought to be enforced. The immunity from punishment is the1 greatest fosterer of crime that and there are always plenty of, men ready to rote illegally when they know they are certain to go unmolested. The time to check frauds is afternot before an election.

If the men I who know about them will prosecute the offenders, and if a few of them can be prosecuted, it will do more to stop fraud- nlent voting than anvthinsr else. If the honest men of all parties will unite now in a determined effort to put down this violation of the law, it can be -done, and it will hare an effect in the future that nothing else will produce.

The Acquittal tm MarterM Bemaatf r-! leeaealn IFrom the San Francisco Chronicle, October LJ In a few moments three figures; appeared in the corridor outside the Court room. They were two men sober, solemn-looking men and one woman, a tearful, trembling, half- aiming woman. int group were Judge Cures, airs. air and Judire Utnnt Behind them walked two deputy frhentls, and in this order the party entered tht court! room. A owed close upon their heels, but comparatively few were permitted, to enter the court room.

Tht reporters and three or four lady sympathisers were on hand, as uraai, and took their accustomed seats. Mrl Fair was placed in a chair between her counsel, Mr. Curtis and Judgs Quint while District Attorney Mnrnhv and Jadee Campbell sat to the left and next the jury. Mr. Mnrphy chewed his tobaoco with a1 vigor that denoted the man of deep thought.

Ha seemed perplexed about something. He sat and toy ed with his rubber tobacco poueb. In a few moments the jury -appeared, being marshaled in by the big court JbailifE They stalked through the court-room In double Hie, Mr. Enilander and Mr. Sherwood at the head.

Their faces wore a solemn, serious look, indicative of anything: but glad tidines to at least' one breathless spectator in the room. As soon as the jury were seated, Judge Reardon was notified and at once came from his chambers. he waited quicaiy across the room every eye was on him, and the silence was so great that a pin might have been beard to drop upon tht carpet. The Judge took his seat and then the big bailiff rapped with his lead-pencil upon the railing. Fair, gave a quick, nervous start as her eye rested upon the Judge, but a look from Mr.

Curtis quieted her. During the calling of the jury' the interest in the court-room was intense. Tht report ers sat toying with their pencils, but with their eyes, clued to the woman's The faces in the rear of. the Court were; eagerly bent toward! the jurors in the hope Of reading in their faces the result of their sixty-four hours': deliberation. Bat every face was as cold and as hard as Jlrs; air turn ed her head, cave one sweeping look at the two rows of Impenetrable faces, and then turning away with a shudder clenched her Sneers in Judge Curtis' arm, and 4 held on tightly for support Mr.

Murphy watched the jury, and udge Quint loosed as solemn Judge Curtis devoted his whole attention to the trembling, woman beside him, while Judge Reardon looked down from the oencn wun a com pitying As the last name was called, the Clerk an nounced that all the jurors were; present Another dead Bilence then fell upon the court room. Every eye was on the Judge. For a he sat with his head resting on his hand, and then turning to the Clerk he nodded and said something in an maudi- who at once arose and lifted the nervous and terror-stricken woman to her feet and'olac ing his'arm close around her waist: held her face to the jury. Judge.Qaint also stood up and held one of Mrs. Fairs hands.

The Judge, without looking at It passed it over his desk to the Clerk below, rhe Clerk i slowly opened the paper, and for several seconds kept his eyes and brain busy with the words. During this little scene Mrs.

Fair rested her eyes on the floor. She seem ed to have lost all physical power, and fairly hung like a child in Judge Curtis' arms. The Clerk then read from the paper, amid the most breathless Bilence, these words: "We, the jurors In the case of the People of the State ot California against Laura D. Fair, indicted for: the murder of Alexander P. Crittenden, do find the defendant not" Before the word "euilty" could be utter ed, a low thrilling moan was heard, which went through every heart in the court room, and in another instant two thin, white.

chalk-like wrists were clasped around Judge Curtis neck, and a wealth 01 golden hair lay streaming" on his breast. The little black figure lay In the arms of the strong man as senseless as a corpse. The next instant all was confusion. Ihe ladies rushed up to Mrs. Fair and tendered tbeir assistance.

But fie pining notes of the big bailiff soon restored order. Judge uurtis carried his lifeless burden to a settee, and laid her gently down. Water was called for, and in a moment she had returned to consciousness, but could not seem to comprehend the turn affairs had taken. A'u Judge Curtis, who was now comnleterv un manned, started with his charge toward the door, but was called back by udge Keardgc; Judge iteafdon udgw Curtis, let the de fendant remain till the verdict is recorded. Judge Curtis, who had reached the gate of the bar.

with his client seated her on long, continued bench next to the raui. 8he seemed too Weak to sustain herself evtu in a sitting posture, and lay down again nearly at full length, her faithful attorney still by her. v- After the ceremony of recording the ver dict was nmshed, the judge formally dis charged the jury, thanking them for their patience and cheerful acquiescence in all requirements, and then, turning to Sheriff Adams, he said: "Mr. Sheriff. Mrs.

Laura D. Fair, by the rerdict of the jury, is no longer a prisoner. She-is therefore dis charged from your The Sheriff cowed, and then courteously saluted jvirs. Fair, who smiled in a sickly way at the com- Jument. In a moment tiw court was ad-oumed, and then a crowd soon gathered around the frera woman.

Jurors crowded around her, and several of them, as they took Mrs. Fair's hand, cried like children. From all sides came warm congratulations from lawyers and others to Mr. Curtis and Judge Quint' upon their The party remained a lew moments their seats to enable Mrs. Fair to regain suiSaent strength to leave the court-room.

To arbid tht crowd in tht street strategy was resorted to. and proved a perfect success. The carriage in which Mrs. Fair had always come to the iail was kept standing at the Washington street entrance 01 tne ounaing. Of course it was surrounded by a dense throne, in the expectation of seeing her again come and enter it.

The sheriff, however, bad a stylish-looking, close coach drawn up quietly in front of the Montgomery street entrance ready to tate the par ty away. When ready to 8ian caenu Adams and a deputy left the court room, close ly followed by Mrs. Fair an her two counsel. TbeSheriff shouted, "Stand back, gentlemen; don't and in this way tht party left the upper floor and descended the staircase.

turnkey in the lower corridor took up the words "not guilty."

Majorities HaaaaretnrI In the Moet Bare-faced Manner The Bttmrat. Grossly Tampered With by the Grant OfflelaJt. v. IPhlladelphia Cor. New York Tribune, 9th.

The city -returns began to arrive at tht Liberal Head-quarters at about eight o'clock. As soon as two or three wards had been re ported it became perfectly evident that tht Hartranft election managers were manufacturing majorities in the most outrageous manner. Men who had been at the polls all day. and who had consolidated the carefully kept tally lists kept at the precincts in their wards, and who had come in an hour before with assurance of heavy gains tor Buckalew, were astounded to find the officials report ing immense Hartranft majorities. Ail confidence that these officials would limit their frauds so as to bring them within bounds that would not be scandalous, and evidently criminal, vanished at once.

It became plain that they meant to take no risks on tht State, and would put the city vote large enough to overcome any possible adverse vote in the country. "We art sold out" was. the disheartening remark thai passed from mouth to mouth. By half-past eight a few scattering returns came in from interior towns. They all.

looked badly for Republican gains were reported where tht Liberals had entire confidence of gaining largely. The gains reported in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and in the country district, were too smalt to afford any promise of relief. Well authenticated reports of frauds con tinue to come in. A number of respectable gentlemen, well known in their precincts, bring information to the Liberal headquai-ters that the and, others were prevented from voting by the Judges, on the ground that their names had already been voted on. They were alURepublijcins; but had declared their intentions to 'vote-' for Buckalew.

In the twd wards where thi negroes chiefly live th Tjolicemen stood at the polls, put a ballot in every negro's hand when he came up, and made sure that ne votea iu ids irauas which have been most effective, howover, have been perpetrated in the count which has been entirely in the hands of the corrupt city authorities. These men had every thing at stake on the result. They understoodjrery well that an honest State administration would brifie their crimes to light and they were determined' to win at any cost. At the Democratic headquarters at tne Maw hurl far Hotel a large crowd assembled early in the evening. The Hon.
