Here is nearly $4,000 expended by
Glentworth, in the respectable business
of staying pipe" all OF which, it is said,
Governor Seward was acquainted with.
1t is probable that the virtuous contribu-
tors TO this fund did not know what he
did whit. So, it is probable, that they
were not aware of its uses. In this sad
and melancholy business, we firmly be-
Iieye that james B. Glentworth is COM
paratively the innocent and injured man.
He ''laid pipe" because he could not
help it. The contributors to these enOr-
nous sums are the real tempters--they
are the guilty-and deserve the punish-
ment,if any to be inflicted.
But what an alarming state of utter
and complete decentralization, this disclo-
sure presents, of political morals! What
will the revilers of Republican govern
ment in Europe, say to these sad and
melancholy exhibitions of Republican
morals! A public officer; appointed by
the Governor of New York, charging
that Governor with being acquainted with
his participation in frauds, and daring
him to remove him from his office, be-
cause he was equally guilty! What the
result of all these developments may be
on the approaching election. we neither
know nor care. These disclosures pre-
sent damning proofs of guilt, and we de-
nounce them, and all concerned in them 1.

the opposite party-if the Administration
party-are equally guilty of the like dark
deeds, let them be dragged to the light
of day, and punished in a like manner.
Meantime, let the grand jurors OF an
honest and moral and virtuous communl-
ty, bring the guilty to condign Pnnlsh'i

THE ELECTION.

By the incomplete, varying and contra
dictory reports before US, we are still left
in doubt as TO the result of the Presiden-
tial election, We do not possess the Pc
culiar faculty of some of our opponents of
inmping to a conclusion as soon as the
polls are closed.-We prefer not to pos
sess it, lest we might vary as far from the
truth as they. From the reports from
Virginia, we think we may safely say
it has given a decisive majority for
Mr.. Van Buren,. The Harrisburgh Re-
porter of the 7th contains reports from all
the counties in Pennsylvania, and gives
Mr.. Van Buren, 9e5 majority. Other re-
ports give various majorities from 200
to 1000. Maine is doubtful. New
Hampshire has given about 5000 majority
for Mr.. Van Buren,. Rhode Island has
given 1916 majority for Gen. Harrison,
Connecticut, 1923, and New Jersey about
1000. We have reports from but hal
the counties in New York. Harrison:
majority in these is about 5000. KNev
York has gone for Mr.. Van Bwen, WI
think his chances of success are fair; bu
if it has gone for Gen. Harrison, he i
probably elected. We still have hope
for the best, but are not without apPre
tensions for the worst. From the wes
(except from mdiana,) we have hear
: nothing conclusive. Until tho result i
: New York is known, we must remain
suspense as to the result.

A BALLOT BOX AFFAIR.

Our city was thrown into great excite-
ment early this morning by the statement
of market man, that on his way to mar
ket from Hamtramck he found one Of the
BALLOT BOXES Of that torn in the
highpGy broken to pieces and the cOteS
Stre,red around IL.
We regret to state that the story proved
TRUE! The box containing the ballots
for representatives to the Legislature was
destroyed last night between the closing
of the polls yesterday and daylight this
morning. How it was done is a matter
of legal investigation; we, therefore, for
bear comment for the present.
The board are proceeding to-day to
count the votes in the other boxes. The
Congress box has been counted, and the
democratic majority is ONE HUN.
DRED AND TWENTY-SIX. 1t is sup
posed that the democratic representative
ticket run some ahead of that for Con-
gress.
