The investigation was an affair gotten up for buncombe, and to affect the Gubernatorial campaian of that year, and falled-In both its real and assumed purposes. A . ,. .GEN, TOM YOUNG, the incumbont in the Second District and candidate for-renomination by the Ropu Nean Convention, is s remarkable man, whose personnal history rends like an oxtravngant romance. - lie was born in the North of Ire- Jand, tho son of a cotter on the estate of Lord Dufferin, ex-Governor-ieneral of the Do- ininion of Canada; and, when lad, was a partner in many a wiltl frotic with that dis- ngulbhed individual, At home he recelved but n poor education, and, coming to this country, enlisted nso private soldier in the rogulararmy.* Mo rosc to tho rank of Sor- feants and, shortly before his term of en- stment expired, white his company was cn ronte from: Florida to overtook tho vessel, which ‘foundered at sea with nearly all on board, leaving Sergeant Young almost.the only survivor of his com- pany. Leaving the army, he obtained a po- sition as messengor In tho Post-Oftice nt Naw York,. and afterwards came to Cincinnati, he .was when the War broke whorg out “Tie went out as n_ Lioutenant of volunteers, snd rose — raplilly, coming home a Briendior-Genoral, Soon after, he went into politics: and has been remarkably auccesstul, Ho has nevor conan unsuccessful candidate for an office thus far, In 1875 he was clected Licutenant- Governor on the ticket with Hayes, and, on the latter's belng made President, Young be- came Governor, On his rotirement from that ofiice ha sought and obtained the nomi- nation for Congress in tha Second District, and was clected, ” AS TO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, ‘the woods are full of °em;" that ts to say, the names of n great many aro mentioned for tha honor of lending the Demoerntic hosts to defeat, though It cannot bo sald that any of them exhibit much alaerity in coming for- ward and fannie upon (heinsélyca the luader- ship of the forlorn hone, In tho First Dis- trict, the Hon, Willlam 8. Grousbeck, tho Hon, John F, Follett, and. the Hon, | Milt Sayler are the more prominently mentioned for the barren honor. Groesbeck will not have It, although a determined effort is being made to force him into necepting the candi- lacy.. 1t.is thought that, by putting up a man as Strong as he, tha district could bo carried; and [t isa striking exemplification of thetinct-that the Democrats realize tho desperate: character of tho strait they aro. jn, to seo them concentrating all thelr influences into forcing thls one man Into taking the nomination, It is an earnest, also, of the determination. with which they intend to wage the fight In this last diteli that should’ inake Republican leaders act cautiously. * és ; MM, GRORATECK, whose fiame was prominently mentioned fn connection with the Democratic Presidential nomination, aq gentioman of means, talent, and respectability, and would be a strong candidate. Ilo owns a magnificent restlenes Bud grounds In the suburbs; and, socially, his family stands among the highest 1. tie city, Ho was a member of the International Monetary Conference held at Berlin in 1878, and Isa strougadvocate of binietalism, while opposing the | Frpenback theory, Among Ke- pe bitcans he has many warin friends; nnd, If ho secupted thé Democratic nomination in his district, neither of the Republican organs here soni oppose him. He can hardly be brought to accopt, however, as he has his eye set on other positions. It ia sald that he ls looking forward to the election af Hancock, with the expectation of belng xiven the En- elish mission; while it is also confidently Stated that ho would. ttke a position on the ‘Supremo Bench. Color ty lent to this last assortion by the fact that Judge Mondicy, who also his his longings fixed on aSupreme Judgeship, ‘is must active in hls endeavors to coorce, Groesbeck jnto accepting the Con- sresstonal nomination. Among the Democrats of the First Dis- trict, however, thore aro ANUMNEN OF UNRULY ONES, who kick against tho “swallow-tails,” as National reptite, the giv-” Now York, 0 storn" they call those who seok to give respectabli- ity to the ticket by putting the name of Grors- heck thoreon, ‘These say bey! don't want silver plotter, and want one who will mingle round with “the boys,” and “to h—il with this respectability” business?” This class iil make troubie In the convention, and, If Groesbeck is nominated, will not work with any arent enthusiasm in hfs support, os Groesheek Is not nt jnlzer dt ‘Tho Hon, Milt Sayter, Who represented tho district for threo terms, and wna «defeated Inst tino by Uutterwarth, Is belng pat for- ward once mare aga candidate, Milt mado himself obnoxious In the Inst campaign by pulling up his purse-strings and hardening his heart to the appeals of “the boys”? who tun the precincis; and tus, together with tho ador of the lust defent which: still hangs around him, will PREVENT MIS GETTING THR NOMINATION. ‘The Hon. John F, Follett, who wasn strong candidate, has been made Elector-nt- Intge from this State, and will bo satisfied with that honor, The probabilities are, tlint, untess Groesbeck can be brought to necopty song nan not now prominently mentioned for the place will get it. Groesbeck Is tho only man In tho district ‘yet mentioned who has a shadow of a chance of carrying It, but itis more than Ikely that tho Democracy, with their usual blindness about convention time, will fall tosce the neccasity of drat ing hint willy-nilly Into the service. tis likely that d GEN, 1. Th BANNING ‘ will compete with Gen. Young In'tho Sec- ond District, Banning, who represented the . district for two tery ‘wns (lefented for a re- y nomination In 1878 by a_young Democrat named Yen W. Goss, and Banning’s frignds havo always claimed that, if he: had heen nominated, he would have saved the district, Ilo is a first-class organizer, and has elements $f bo larity about him which will enable fight Banning was Chairman of the Com: mittee on Military Affairs In the House of Representatives In the -Forty-fifth Congress, and succeeded in retting, several yal- uable anpropriations for Cincinnatl dur- Ing his two terms,, His weakness lies in his being prone to promising more than’ho can perform, In whieh way. he has made himself many enemies among tho ince ers of hisown party who control conven- tions. Itis likely, howaver, that he will bo allowed to mako the race tiils time, TO BUM UP, tho situation in both «districts is rather erlt- ical, [tt 1878 Butterworth was lected hy 729 aud Young by 974 tanjority and Inst yearthe Republican majority. du the cotnty was in- creased to 3.64% In this county, however, the maintenance of ninajority for two cam- paigns In succession cannot be counted on with any certainty. There is 9 floating voto in tho city of at Teast 5,000, which changes around very inexplicably sometimes: and an extra effort on the part of tho Te- mocracy this year. may. turn tho tables. StL, ff thorough harmony can bo re stored ‘in the Kepubitean ranks, and the Democrats do not make exceptional good nominations, Republicans may with reasonable certainty count on carrying both districts by about the sane majoritics as in 1878 A prominent Ohio’ Republican,—Gen. Charles H, Grosyenor,—in a recent Interview in New York, placed the First. District among the lst of aoubtful ones.

Moxtaosmny, Aln, Atig. 3.—A most Ine famous outrage, one which is n fit Ilustra- tlon to the hypocrisy of the Demoerntic plat- form, has been committed upon the goat people of Alabama, and especially upon those of thiscounty, If the readers of the Times could be indo thoroughly conversant with the facts of the so-called election in this State yesterday, they would be satlstled, be- youd all doubt, that it will not do at present to Intrunt the Demoerntic party with power, In the counties of, the State where the large Republican majorities le the county oftcers elected by Republicans at former elections have been forced out of ollice by one ‘means. or another, the inost effective having been the passage of a Inw by tho Legisia- ture refusing to permit persons to be- come suretics on official bonds who re- side outside the Ilmits of the county where the duties of the oflice were to -be performed, Then, by ostracizing all Democrats or Repub- Hieans who dared to go on a Republican of ficial bond, the «splacement was complete, ‘The hnportanceof having Democratic ollicers in these counties will be seen when tt is understood that the appolntnent of Election- Inspectors and the general control of elec- tlonts ts in their hands. : When the tine caine to appoint Inspectors for the last election, the persons elected by the Honublieas committees to represent tha Republicans at tha several polls in three counties were deliberately set aside, and iz norant eolured men, who were unable to tell a Republican from a Democratic ballot, were arbitrarily selected to represent the party, To renter these poor Innocent instruments even more helpless, tho Demoeratic Lurisin- ture, at ts last session, provided that the bal- Jot should be on plain white paper, and should not be counted {fF there was any de- vice whatever on it. The result has been that while the Iepub- leans polled a larger vote at this election than at any election for years, they were de- Iberately counted ont by men oecupying re- spensible positions tn the world, who think it no offense to steal a vote of a negro or 4 Aepubltean, . The election in this county, which in for- nier yenrs registered. Republican majorities ranging from, 3,000 to 4,000, isa fair sample of tho conduct of the election elsewhere. At MeChee’s Switch, in this county, the Repub- Tieans polted about 600 votes and the Demo- crats fifty. While tho votes wore belng counted the candle was turned over and put out and the room left in darkness for several minutes. When the cclored Republican in- spector putout his hand to preserve the bal- fot-box he found that it was gone. Consid- erable confusion ensued, and, on the candle pele telighted, it was observed that the box had been filled up with new tickets, antl that. the, old ballots were allover the tloor. The colored man protested against tho fraud, and was driven from the room with curses, and was not permitted again to onter and observe tho count. ‘Tho yotes have been returned as giving 40 Deni- ocratic majority, Durlug the count at this precinet a mllitery company and a large posse of arined eltizensy unter the command of the Sheriff, appeared at the polling-place to protect the Inspectors, although no trouble or threats of trouble liad‘ occurred ut the polls. ‘They were determined to force through thelr nefarious schemo at ail haz. aril uven to have Democratic bayonets at 8 polls, : The above-mentioned Republican colored inspector niade aflidavit to these facts, At Kendall's Beat, whore the proportion of Republican and Democratic votes was, the sng as as MeCihec’s, the inspector deliber- ately changed the votes in the presenee of tho iznorant, timld old colored inan, who fnallyxtetected the inspector with a largo roll .gf.. bogus tickets, They then tried to butjdoze him into signing the return, but he would not do so. Lanight relate a similar experience at oach polling-place in this county, because the hls- torx.ef one is tho history of all, But it would not, add anything to the force of th ment. Five thousand Republican votes in this county were deliberately counted for the Deinceratie nominees, and to-render the ine jury irreparable tho Legislature at ita last kession_ provided that the tickets shauld no jonger be tumbered, Thus all possthitity of tracing the ballot of the voter and ofiice, showing that it has been changed, Is taken away. : ‘The monumental fraud of tho are was the pretentled electionof Aug. 2, 3880, a fraud the Democratle paners prepared for weeks by parading in thelr columns the Ito that thot sands of negroes were joining Democratic Clubs. Here they could not muster fifty cotored Democrats out of 8,000colored voters. ‘The only safeguard at Federal elections will bo United States Supervisors and Marshals, THE CENSUS. ST.

One night he came home unexpectedly and found hts farmlly doctor and his wife toxether, and he has since gotie about Invoking ven- Geace on the destroyer of his domestic happl- ness. ‘Khe wife, itis anid, went to the bad completely, and is now said te be In Cleve- land.

Franz Semniler is 60 yenrs of uge, though he says he is quly, 45, is earpenter by trade, and claims to live at No. 430 Morgan street. In trath, hls family only live there: he lives all over the West Twelfth street district, Io bears a very bad reputation tn the district, and has frequently: Deen arrested for vagrancy and sent to the House of Correetion, Ie wus, moreover. 4 terror to all the saloonkeepers, as he openly made his hosts that “he would eut to the denth any man who offended him, and he has inde it a point to carry and frequently exhibit large | and | very shurp knives.

Herrif and Semmiler have known each oth- er for two years, and there was no love lost between then. When Herrii entered Bauch’s saloon yesterday afternoon he aifronted the old inan by ordering drinks for every one in the house, barring him, ‘This was more than the old man could stand; it's his habit to lay for some ong to buy a drink for him. Ie took Herrll te task ‘about It, but he sheo! hin away and. wanted nothing to do with him. ‘Then Semmler called hima thief and accused hum of having stolen a watch from n friend of his named_C. ‘Treseh, living at No. 464 Union strect. ‘The saloonkeeper was unable tomake Franz mind his own busl- ness, and so Anton left. the saloon ond went gast tu Frank Steinbach’s saloon, No. 264 West Twelfth street. Old Semmiler followed hin, and, in company with Anton and Steine bach, played «game of pool, which le lust: He wanted to play another, and Sntlicated to Stelnbach that Anton had money and thoy onght to beat hin. Anton heard what he sald, and refused to play any amore. He also refused to treat Semmler, who there- upon ordered and paid for his own beer, and becnine so unery that he ran off to ‘Treseli’s house and brought him back to the sniuvon to charge Anton with the theft, Ilerrll resolutely stood his ground, and of- fered to go to the station with or without a warrant. ‘Tregch did not push the matter, but went back home. St uppears that Herrll worked for ‘Tresel some three orfour months ago, and thot he really was accused of steal ing a silver wateh and chain, | Shortly after this seeno Herrll walked back to Bauch’s su. Joon, followed by the old man, who did not enter the saloon, but went on to the corner of Halsted street, and then turned suddenly back and assaulted =~ Herrll as | he was coming out of the saluon door, Ina short tussle the old man cut hin In five or alx different places with his pocket-knife, Oficer Edward Laughlin, who was in the fmmediate vicinity, hurried both men off to the seition, Semniler was locked up for tho assault, and Dr, Buckley was sent for promntiss as Herrll was, bleeding so coptous- y that it was thought he would dle. ‘The Doctor dressed a wound four inches lang on the neck, which, extended clean down {nto the sheathing of the caratid artery and the ingular veln.
