dety then. to 90 on with their nciarious design
Already the stern gaze Of an indignant Peoplc Is
fixed on their guilty devices. Already the mem
bcrs of their own ,,urly who haze characters which
they value more than then Offices are taking ground
against the plotted ,lsurpation. We have good
authority for stating that Mayor Norris and Dis
trict Attorney WHITING yesterday freely expressed
the opinion that the annulling OF the Sixth Ward
Election is impossiblc-that the Wings have tie
Council, and cannot be deprived Of It, And such
we believe is the ud cement OF ninc-tcnths of The
citizens of Newly ork. Any attcmptto resist or
evadc the verdict which tire People have pro-
.pirators with Indignation and infamy
What are the facts in regard 10 the Sixth Ward
Elcc,ionl Tina, the p oils were kept opontho full
timo-hat every citizen voted unmolcstcd VINO
chose--that the Polls were regularly closed, the
votes regularly canvussed and the Wing candidates
found elected by large ma iorily. &C facts which
cunuotbe disputed. Ihnt the Kr~1,eclo,'- 4f each
District ranrGsSed tie o-ieS the sane crcatHS,
and unanimously certified the result cectlng the
Wig candidates, IS also indisputablc. Where,
then, is the hole to creep out Of! No where but
here: the Sixth Ward Hotel was as>nilcd while
the Inspectors were counting OF preparing 10 count
the in of the upper rooms they lied ana
left the ballot-boxcs But an clccer OF the Ward
(Mr Bul) came to the door Il moment after; he
stood there ill the Inspectors rcturned he Is ready
20 swear positively that person entered inc
room, save one who creptin an instant to blow out
the candle, 40 as to divert the shower OF stones
When the=Iaspcctors came back they found the
corner of brckbat with grosnd glass in the
Charter box, but no dal'ots scattered; xonc rere
pieked up from Me floor elsewhere: the bal

WING CANDIDATES ARE ELECTED. The W Ing In

the fact. Mcssrs. Crolius and .Alwcl will take

it cannot be that any man will have the hardihood

the People.
As to the story of aem Election. that Is
transparent sham. Who would think OF voting
when the defeated party might kick up row al
the close of the Polls, and llereupon demand n
chance to try their luck again No, no, gem

usurpation by talking about new Elections.
We infer from the last Evening Post that the
attempt to reverse the Peoples Eerdict=in the
Sixteenth Ward because Mr. Vests votes
headed Alderman instead OF For Alderman. is
given up. |, may as we'll be. 1t must surely
have originated in the brain of some very small
pettiogycr: and we cannot yet believe that any
lawyer who can appear IN the Supreme Court
would attempt 10 make 4 stand on frivolous
Quibbr. No lawyer of any charac could keep his
countenancc TO argue such case. We presume
Mr.. West will be admitted to his seat wi,hon,iur-

which were pasted on the face of the coiorea aud
