Illegal Voting.

The poll of Tuesday in this City was some
s6,0 l0-at least 5000 more than the number OF
hon, st votes. Webeleve that fve-sixths OF these
wen cast for Coddington and the Tammany
'licl cts. The Americans declared beforehand
,hat they would prevent Illegal Voting and, as
they had great force at the Polls, they probably
did al they could towards it, but 1t is notorious
that Illegal Voting cannot be prevented under our
pres mt laws. How any honest man, any friend
Of fair play and Republican institutions, can long
er oppose a Registration of Voters, we cannot
imagine. Most certain it is that our Elections
are End ever will be tainted if not corrupted by
fraud until there are some definite, positive means

crs, who are and vino are not legally entitled to

+ In SENATE, Mr.. DENrsroN, from the Commit
ice on Canals, reported on SO much of the Gov
crnor's Message as relates to the closing Of the
locks on the Sabbath day, and on the memorials
asking for such a regulation. This Report argues
with great force and with powerful array of
flcts and evidences, the propriety and benefits to
the moral and physical condition of the men en-
ployed on the canals, of the rest from labor on
The day devoted TO sacred duties.
The Committee however believe the existing
laws are sufficient, and recommend no additional
legislation.

The report condemns even the State officers as
violating the laws of the State, IN having the
Jocks opened on the Sabbath. Seven-eighths oi
the people Of the State are in favor of suSpending
the labor of the pnbiic servants on that day, and
It seemed TO HIM that in the view ol all ,hls the
report should not have been merely an exposition
OF the evil. In justice 10 his own sentiments and
conclusions, he desired 10 offer resolution which
would pat him right on the record. He sent up

Of them have lost ruinously-in all not less

surprzcd at the greenness Of these old politicians
The gamblers, who always bet 10 win, had early
looked over the land and como TO the conclusion
that Harper would certainly be chosen /; and the
way they picked up the flats was cruel. The day

sharp for customers. We then knew the thing

Dancing.

To Tie Editor Of The Tribune:
The subject Of Dancing being one which has OF
late commanded something of popular attention in
this city, and very properly TOO, we beg the privi-
ese Of saying few words in your columns IN rela-
lion TO it, From It's antiquity, its prevalence TO a
greater or less extent through all periods OF history
among the civilized and uncivliized, the Christian
and unchristian portions OF the human family II
certainly is worthy the careful and candid considera
lion Of all end particularly OF our religious teachers.
We had the satisfaction not long since, OF seeing
notice in your valuable paper, that Sermon on
:. Dancing" was 10 be repealed by an able Divine oil
our City. The sabject was ably handled, doubtless,
in the estimation Of many. We, however, were sadly
disappointed. Every passage in the Bible relating
TO the practice protessedly examined, after
Which depending upon memory the following con-
clusions were arrived ct: That according 10 the
Sacred Writings il was never practced IN the night
tine-mosuy by men occasionally by women, but
never bv the sexes together-that always when not
praciiced as an eXpression OF religious Joy, &C. the
attending circumstances and results were unavora-
BILE. A lady in our hearing inquired OF her ncighhor
as 10 the purport of the DISCOURSE The answer was
" Dancing is very bad practice, but of the when,
the why, and the wherefore we are not informed.
This would not be worthy OF mention were II not ior
the fact that the vegueness OF opinion 100 gen.
eray peIvades religious society. We confess we
could not much admire in this discourse the sneer
cast upon Frenchmen, as being " men OF hddle ana
of fantastic toe" Onr teachers oi this Kind ere
principally American.
The subject will soon, We trust, be fully and ably
examined and set forth i'll all its bearings, by one
who has long studied the Bible and Slan in his
every relation. We refer 10 DIR. Graham. Ihe
lecture believe noticed 10 be repeated during

be happily entertained and instructed.
