The witness was closely examined about his interviews with Moulton and Butler, the substance of his testimony being that Butler prepared a document on what he thought Beecher's statement ought to be. From what witness had heard Butler say, supposed he assumed that Beecher was guilty of adultery or corn-pengati- on improper intercourse.

VI which sbould be used, and of the legality of the returns, adjudged such boxes as contained rotes for Fenn to be unsuitable for ballot boxes, and ODsigned them, with the ballots contained in them, to the flames. Could impudent rnscality go further? Does anybody believe that a man having a spark of ser.ee would commit such an act without previous assurance of executive protection. If we admit that the boxes used for ballot boxes were not such as should have been used, and that the ballots were illegal, the crime of de. stroying them is not lessened oue iota. The people of those piecincts had voted in good faith, and their act could only be invalidated by .the judgment of a court, having jurisdiction of such matters. But no special ballot box is required; nor does it matter whether the box employed sealed up or nailed up. One or the other of these ways might be informal, but informalities are not illegali ties, and no procedure is vitiated by reason of its method having been informal. This is an established principle of law known to everybody, li is also well established that, more clerical errors, such as misspelling the name of a candidate, or not con- forming to the exact letter of the law in making out election returns, are to be ignored by , canvassers. Were a different rule adopted tho people of the rural districts, who have lit; lc more than an instinctive knowledge btj the forms of election returns would be practically disfranchised, .Whenever it happened that one of two opposing candidates received an almost unanimous vote, in one Or more elective precincts, as did Mr. Fenn in some of the Oneida county precincts, the defeated candidate, would trace out the informalities in the returns, which would be sure to exist, and have the votes rejected. Neither is any man's ballot to be questioned because the name of the candidate is mis-- f polled. All experience proves that at least half the people, even in old commun ities, are unable to spell the words of our language with anything like correctness; nor is this a sign of ignorance, but rather the fault of the ar- bitrariness of English orthography; and the orthography of proper names is still more difficult to guess. So if every man were to be kicked out of whose name chanced to be misspelled by the voter, but few would enter without having their right to do so contested by the courts. And the same principle governs when an honorary title is prefixed to the name of the candidate by the voter. A ballot for 'F,", W. Bennett in the late election was, in our opinion, just as legal, and the Board of Canvassers just as much bound to count it, as if it hsd read ' T." Wr; Bennett. So a vote for "Governor" Bennett would have been equally valid with either of the others. In like manner a vote for S. S. "Fcnnc," or for "Hon. ' S. S. Fenn, was equally vlid with a vote for S. S. ienn; and in not counting all such votes the Board of Canvassers, to quote the language of Judge Dillon again,' "published themselves either as rogues or fools." But we think ;wa have heretofore shown, and shall again show, that they have published'1 themselves as office rogues. The archives of the Territory will show if they have not been chanced to suit the times that in 1870, i when Sam Mf rritt was elected Delegate in Congress, and acain' in 1872, when John Hailey was elected, the returns from Ntz Ferces oouuty were canvassed and returned in precisely the same jmanner as the returns of the last election, and that E. J. Cur tis, then as now, Territorial Secretary, and Joseph Pinkbam,U. S. Marshal, received and canvassed the returns Merritt and Hailey, making no objections to them n any respect; and for the reason that Merritt and Hailey had money and influence and could crush them if they saw fit to dj so. Thj fact is they kuew then and know now that neither informalities nor clerical errors, nor both combined affect the validity of elections; aul therefore that the "game" which B. F. White, the . dirty-worman of Bennett k Co. says he "fixed up on the unsuspecting saints of Paris and Clifton precincts bv which tliev were made to return" as voted for, for Delegate to. Congress a person whom they did not know, either personally or by reputation, and who was not a candidate at all, fcimply by writing such name in a blank form sent to theso precincts upon which they fr . k' might or might not, make their returns just ns they saw fit," could in nowise .influence the result of the election. It could and did show that Mr. B. F. White is an arrant knave, that he, acting as Auditor of Oneida county, tampered with (election blanks for, the purpose of, defeating Mi Fenn, and electing Mr. Bennett, and also by unavoidable , ; inference and implication shows that the plot to defraud the voters of hU county out of their votes was 'concocted fab d arranged long before the election camo offji else :why did ho write names on the election' blank before sending them but of his office?

At Blavk-fot- , Boss Fork, Eagle Rock, Market Lake and lleasant Valley, according to our "Correspondent's statement, 344 votes were cast. This Mr. Yvhito says ho "inclined to think is correct." Our correspondMarsh Valley ' ent charged that,-a- t 24 votes were polled for Fenn and only two for Bonnet, rhich wero re- jectcd for the reasou that they wero tor renn and not lor Dennett. Whito says tho votes were polled at "Nino 31 He, ' and not at Marsh Valley, at all, and! were very proDerl? thrown . out by the canvassers because they were returned in a cigir box. And so all of our lying corrcsnon dent's ' charges are admitted by BeuncttV chief and dirtiest tool to bo substan- tially correct, aLd the action of tho canvassers and other knaves sought to be justified bj such flimsy pretexts as that a candidate's name was misspelled, an honorary title prefixed to bis name or that the ballots were re- turned 'q a cigar box. Since the publication of Mr. ' White's letter there is no longer a doubt in our mind but each and every one of our eorres pondent's accusations ie true to the letter,: and capable of being established in the courts to the satisfaction of a jury. ' 'About all have, been confessed but the one, of at . tempting to corrupt Mr. Adams, and be has not denied that such ' an ' attempt was made' upon him. If it let false the Gpvemor call upon is him to publish a card denying its truth, and when he does bo, if tha proots are not forthcoming, the pub-- " lie will bo convinced. But the silly and ridiculous role enacted in Oneida county is of rather too. unsubstantial a character to deceive a people, mofk of whoujhaTe had previous experi- - ' enoe in ways that are dark. In other werds,' the beast is altogether too tbi'u , for even so small a pattern as Gpver...... rior Bennett to ride into Congress on. , ? -- i. . . -- ; , , |
