We have already stated that the Wings entered IN
to q conspiracy previous to the ats election. t. has
len in tie votes Of their own party early in tie morn
ing. and then to refuse all those votes natural.zcd By
Judge Elliott. Their prc,cxt for this proceeding is,
that about 80 out Of the 1900 certificates issued by
this Wing Judge were fraudulent. Tie democrats,
however. when the matter was brought to the test,
commended that the inspectors Of the election had no
right t. 20 behind the certificates of naturalization:
and this point has been thus decided by tic Lcei>la-
tnrc aid some OF the courts Of that State. The re-
suit Of this conspiracy by the Wings is thus noticed
by the \. q. Republican Of the ID INST, and is state
mcnfs are confirmed by the other papers, and by the
cards # some of the democratic inspectors which
have since been published. We presume tlat this
hgh-haadcd vIllany VIII be brought before the State
Convention and the Legislature. and be corrected by
another trial, in which the naturallzcd citizens VIII be
permitted 10 exercise Their undoub.cd rights: The
Republican,. a Tyler paper, say
at an early hour-say half past tcn-wc found that the
polls had been closed ia the fourth ward of the second AIu-
nicipal!ty. This was ooca>ionei, we understand, by the
Wing Inspector, who refused 10 receive the vote Of a citizen
who he'd in his hand a certificate Of naturalization from
judge Elliott's Court. The Democratic Inspector very prop
ciy refused to receive any vote whatsoever until hat IN
question was deposited IN the ballot box. By this means,
The Democrats lost n one of their strongest wards, n very
large rumbcr of votes.
