Spécial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. NEw Yorg, July 17.—It is generally con- ceded to-day that Commissioner John L Davenport is making out a strong arraign- ‘ment of the New York Democracy in con- nection with the great election frauds of 1863. The Democratic members of the Wallace Senatorial Investigating Committee do not relish Davenport’s testimony a bit, and captious questions have been put to himr to break the force of some of his statements, but without avail. The main facts about the frauds are mnot new, but the details have been filled in, show- ing; conclusively that the extent of the frandulent naturalization was greater-even than claimed, and the whole story has been glven with proofs under oath by the man who kiows it better than any other. He ought to, a8 he has made it a matter of in- vestigation for years. THE INTERESTING QUESTION for outsiders is whether this same system of fraud has made voters for the Democracy in other States, and if o towhat extent. Mr. Davenport showed that in October, 1868, alone, 16,482 naturalization certificates were issued by the Superior..Court. in | this city, and-that in the same month in the Supreme Court there were 18,517 cer- tificates issued by ‘one Judge. In all, some 64,000 certificates were issued in 1868, and all but 3,500 of them in October. AMr. Davenport presented certificates signed in blank by the Judees, ready to be filled up, showing how the work was. done. e disclosed the systemn of standing wit~ nesses, showing how 100 professional wit- nesses appeared for twenty applicants. A most damaging point was that 37,000 blank certificates were printed for the Supreme Court in 1865, and all but 1,862 were used, showing that 35,133 were given out; though the records contained but 18,824 ap- plications, a clean steal of 17,000 voters. Two aliens came into court and served in turn . * AS WITNESSES FOR EACH OTHER. That was another dodge. Men were natu- ralized within three weeks after their ar- ival. : Mr. Davenport had gathered 4,000 certi- ficates with affidavits by the owners, that they had been given them before they had been sufficient time in the country. ‘To-day Mr. Davenport showed that Judge Barnard pretended to hear the cases and ‘make out papers to 2,543 personsin five hours. On the files of the courts he had forged the names of prominent citizens used as wit- nesses who never appeared as such. names like August Belmont, John T. Hoffman, William IL Vanderbilt. Therewere g SEVERAL PASSAGES AT ARMS ° between Senator McDonald and Mr. Daven- port, in which the little Commissioner did not get worsted. In reply to Senator Blair, Mr. Davenport said when he issued the 3000 warrants in 18® against the . holders of certificates, his belief was that they were fraudulent and void, or at least voidable, and his belief had not since changed. Senator Blair asked, **What course do you intend to pursue officially during the ap- proaching Presidential campaign and elec- tion in regard to these papers® “If com- plaints are made to me I shall pursue the same course as in 1878, because T consider it my duty to do so. 1 believe all who hold those papers have by this time been amply notified that their right to them is contested, ?gq, has been called In question ever since ‘Senator Hoar asked 3r. Davenport what the majority was for_the Democratic Presi- dential ticket in this State in 1865, Mr. Dav- enport said the total Democratic vote was 429,853, and the Republican vote 419, leaving an_exact Democratic majority :_yf 10,000, of which the Democratic majority in this county was 60,555 He believe in'this city there were about 40,000 votes cast on the certificates of 1865, To the Western Associated Press. New York, July 17.—Before the Wallace Investigating Committee to-day Mr. Daven- port, the\Supervisor of - Elcctions, said that some alleged fraudulent naturaiization papers of 1568 are still ont, and during the campaign he will eonsider it his duty, if com- pv.hmm i3 made, to arrest the parties offering eu. Davenport said he did not think there were any old 1868 papers, at least very few. ‘He believed thata certificate issued by the Su- preme and Superior Courts in 1865 coutd be successfully attacked for fraudulent issue. Senator McDonald asked witness if_he in- timated Judges McCunp and Barnard acted fraudulently. Witness replied he intimated o such thing, but said they did. Senator Wallace said_they had reached 2 corner, and adjourned till Monday. TIE SOUTH. THE NEGRO VOTER- Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribunt. WasmNGToyN, July 17.—A Virginia Re- publican furnishes the following explana- tion of the present situation of the negro voter in the South:- *The condition of the negro in the South is simply this: He has a poll-tax to pay, and 2 majority of them can- ot pay that tax of 82 to S5, and consequent- they will not be allowed to vote unless they pay it. The shotgun will not be used this year. It will be: “Not paid your poll-tax yet, npd you can’t vote here.”, Itis the same principle involved—namely, the negro shall not have his vote. The rights of the negro, as preserived in the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, are ‘SPURNED AND 1GNORED, and in the South they are to-day in a worse condition than in the days of slavery. And who is to blame forit? The answer is short and plain, viz.: the party that seeks to place Winfield Hancock in the Executive Chair, and that party is the Rebel Democracy. Shall this thing always be so?”" FLORIDA. A. J. Eaton, one of the best-informed col- ored men in Florida, writes here as follows " remurding the political sitnanon: “Let me say as a citizen of Florida that I do know that it is as certain to cast its_Electoral votes for James A. Garfield as the sun is to shine. ‘The black man in the South cannot and will not_let the State zo for Hancock. You may think the State Dem- oerats will count Garfield out, but we atways stay with the ballot-box until the last vote is canvassed. All weaskin Florida is that the Northern States will stand by Gartield, and as Hayes got Florida in 1876, so will Gurfield carry it by a_landsome majority, ot less than 1,000. I leave Washi n on Monday for my home to help defeat Hancock. If he is looking for a Solid South, he may as- well GIVE FLORIDS UP and set it down for Garfield.” One of Hancock’s old soldiers prints the following here: “When Gen, Hancock was In'command of the old Second Corps, fizhting for the preser- vation of the Union, 1 was a Hancock In: and was with him at Spottsylvania, front of Petersburg, and all along the line; but when lie takes command of the Southern Confed- eracy ] am with-the volunteer soldier and statesman, Jawmes A. Garfield. I do not know of a soldier that was 2 Republican dur- ing the War that will not_vote as he fought, for the Union and the old flag, and I know quite a number.” 3 CHAIRMAN JEWELL. HE 1S CONFIDENT OF EVERY NORTHERN STATE. Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns. New YoRk, July 17.—Chairman -Jewell got back from Mentor, 0., to-day. He said the simplicity of the homelife there sur- prised him. 1t was farm life with the charm of culture added. The enthusiasm for Gen. Garfield in the Western Reserve was remark- able. e had met many Pennsylvanians, and the talk about that beinz a Hancock State was laughable and laughed at there. Senator Don Cameron told him in Washing- ton that he was Leartand soul in this cam- paign, and that his most earnest and lively cobperation could be counted on for the sue- cess of the ticket. There would be NO IALF-WAY MEASURES, . Ar. Jewell said, nor would the South be sac- Tificed. The ormanization would be main- tained vigorous in every State there, and full State Republican tickets would be run. r. Jewell said he was sure the Republicans Would carry Connecticut, andehe believed Gartield and Arthur would cal every Northern State. No half-hearted work would be done in New York, but_the cam- paign here would be of the liveliest charac- ter. . Unity and hard work would certainly win the day. 5 INDIANA. REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS GOOD. Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasuNGTON, D. C., July 17.—Congress manJohn H. Baker, of Indiana, an active member of the House Cowmittee on Appro priation, writes to a friend in this city .as fok jows: “Our party here is in good condi tion, well orzanized, and every one hopeful Garfield’s nomination takes well. I think w. have a fair chance of carrylog the State. Owi. ' le -think well of Porter-for_ Govemor. genspx can see no_obstacle in the ws{ of our doing better_in Indiana than we have foi years.past. 1 expect 10 take an active pan when the campaign opens.” STHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
