A groes swindle, or rather an attempted frand of a character in the State canvass, has just been Drought to Nght, and happily defeated. You are aware, ly, that several leading republican wireworkers of the‘eapita! were in New York during the sitting of tha Board of County Canvassers in your city. Much appre: heneion was that, in accordance with the policy af these men, aneffort would be made to tamper with thé returns for the benefit of the black republican officers, dt was thonglit that the trick would be to increase the vote for Chapin, the republican candidate for Canal Commis: “sioner, or decrease that of his democratic opponent, Skin+ ner, The contest was known to be close between these two, while the importance to the republicans of securing the contracting board—which they would bave ac- complisned in the event of ‘Chapin’s success— justled the belief that no stone would be left anturped to defraud Skinner out of his election. The New York returns Came in to the Secretary’s office here, and everything seemed correct and straightforward. Accidentally, however, the startling fact was discovered, + only a day or two since, that the entire return of the vote ‘on Canal Commissioner was fraudulently incorrect. Every vote for Skinner had been returned as for William L. ‘Skinner. instead of William I. Skinner; and in order to poreet, ed tracks-of the ipiquity, every vote on the other side had been returned for Ogden M. Chapin, instead of tor Ogaen . Chapin. “Had this been sugfered to go be- fore the of State Cauvassers, the result would have heen wnavoidabic and fatal, ‘They would Nave batt wo Ae clare 0. N. Chapin elected by twenty thousand votes, and ‘Skinner woul! have been defrauded of his office. Fortn- nately it has been discovered in time, and proper partics have been despatched to New York to correct the error, This is consistent black republican policy; when power ig denied them by the péopie, they steal it,’ through the Le- gislatore or by fraudulent returns. "Mr. Join Clancy, the clerk of the of County Can- vassers, is in no way responsible for fhe etartling error, ‘whether designed or accidental. He has been prompt to correct it; but it will be well for him to sift the matter thoroughly, and to find out, by searching investigation, whether be has not been nearly made, unintentionally, the medium of a frand unparalleled in the history of polit ‘weal chicanery. Let him examine the matter, and if any clerk in his office has been bribed to do this great wrong to the democracy and the people of the State, let the cul prit be exposed, and made to pay the penalty of his of. fence. set Our Havana Correspondence.

Jam anxious to submit fof your consideration the fol- owing remarks as to the present peculiar state of things existing between England and Spain:— ‘The present Prime Minister of Spain, Gen. O'Donnell, is the avowed enemy of everything English. This may ac- count for the bitterness with which the Madrid papers have for some time past been alluding to Englands pos. session of Gibraltar. ‘The Spanish officials here are all of opinion that Louis Napoleon is seeking an opportunity to quarrel with Eng- Yand, and that the pretext will certainly grow eut of the “*Bpanish-Moroceo”’ difficulty. Another source of irritation to England will be the news that ail restriction to the African siave trade has just been withdrawn here. The Captain General has received secret imetractions to place no obstacle in the way of the slavers; consequently the troops that were stationed at notorious points along the coasts of the island have all been with- drawn into barracks. The registration of the siaves hag ‘been “abolished, and a decree secretly issued to the Lieu- ‘tenant General and other local authorities to the effect ““that they are on no account to interfere with the slaves, after they are once landed on the island.” You may depend upon it, O'Donnell would like not! * Detter than to pick a quarre] with England, if he co eount upon France to help him. Serrano’s new offic as poor as rats, are arriving every day from Spain. Tb new Captain Genoral, Serrano, is himself a nepbe ‘of Bou Mariano Horre!, one of the most notorious slave. éealers in Caba. it is said that some time ago Serrano vent to borrow from Borrel $30,000, which the latter de- elined to lend, never dreaming that his dear nephew was 80 goon to become Captain General The slave trade, then, has been reopened in Cubaon a greater scale than was ever before known, and the only ‘Way to put a etop to it will be for the English and Ameri- gan governments to remove their veseeig from the inter- moinable and pestiferous coasts of Africa, and send a com. ‘ined squadron to blockade Cuba, which is the only market for slaves; and 1 feel convinced that this is the nly measure calculated to wound their pride, and induce to put an-end to the infamous tratlic.
