Illegal Voting.

1t is believed by many close observers,
that there was large amount ofillegal vo-
ting done at our polls on Tuesday last. We
hope this is not true, but il is notorious
fact that there was an unusual large number
ofstrange faces at the polls, and voted that
day.
A man by the name of r. J. Birmingham,
was arrested on Wednesday morning, for vo-
ting here without the legal qualifications
While before the Recorder, Birmingham
read the law respecting the qualifications Of
voters and acknowledged he had violated it..
He was held to bail on the charge of perjury,
for swearing in his vote, in default Of which,
he is now confined in the county Jail avail
ing trial.
Mr.. B. is reported to have family now re-
siding in Mem phis, Tenn. We hope this
matter will be thoroughly investigated, and
an example made of this man to the extent
of the law, should he be found guilty. Brit
tingham is man apparently of more than
ordinary intelligence, has been stage actor,
and was at work in this city as ajourneyman
cigar manufacturer

LOsG JOHN WENTWORTH ON LocoFoIsM.-
Locofocoism is getting SO low. that even
its friends are forsaking it, and every now
and then we see politician, who is not just
ready to die, mount on its shoulders, as it
decends, give it push downwards, as an ex-
pert swimmer does a drowning man who
clutches to him, and utter a curse on the
miserable old hulk that will carry freight no
longer. Wentworth, of Chicago, has come
out against the party and, the Tribune says
that on a certain occasion, he thus elegant
ly expressed his contempt for il;
He is reported to have said the other day
that "the Id old Democratic party would
have been good for five years longer had not

burial!
This is only inferior to the declaration of
distinguished Missouri gentleman, who, in
playing games, is apt, usually, to ego it

fast hurrying the party to a locality, not laid
down on the maps, but supposed from ac-
counts to be too hot for comfort.

SHANGHAI CHIcKENs.-On our return
home, we found a beautiful pair of Shanghai
chickens ready to receive US. They were a
present from DIR. Graf, of Princeton, and
very acceptable, as we were aboot making
an investment for some of that stock. We
thank DIR. g., for his remembrance. We
understand that he has some of the fines,
specimens of Shanghai's and other fancy
breeds OF chickens, in this part of the coun-
try. He will supply those desiring such
birds at very reasonable rate. Every farm.
er at least, should obtain a few varieties OF
these fowls.

Geo. H. TOdd.

This young man, late candidate for Pros
ecutor Of the Co mmo Pleas Court, and de.
feated by man infinitely bis inferior in every
respect, has been for some time made the sub
ject of the most relentless prescription and
abuse by his former political associates, and
the Enquirer newspaper.
We do not design to undertake Mr.. Todd's
defense, for he has proved himself fully ca
pable OF doing that himself-but we deem it
but simple justice to state few facts, that
the people may see the true causes of this
unmerciful warfare which has been wsged
against him, BY Joe Lane e. Co., and the En-
quiIer.
Two years ago Mr. Todd, then a Demo-
crat in good standing, was q candidate for
County Recorder, with fair prospect of on
election, but in order that certain political
ends might be the better subserved, he (Todd)
had to be sacrifced-and Joe Lane & Co,
who were then "itinerating" the County,
took it upon themselves to immediate him, and
are accused of having been the means Of his
defeat. This, Todd thought an unfaii inter-
ference, and when an occasion offered for
retaliation he embraced it by exposing the
hollow heartedness of some of his espe cial
prosecutors, and in turn, interfering with
their political prospects. This, was the first
cause ofruPture between the parties.
But this was not the height of Mr.. Todd's
offending in the eyes of the 10. Lane Democ-
racy.
Mr. Todd like an honest and independent
man, came out publicly and privately, an
opponent of the Infamous Nebraska Bill,
and denounced the Spinds. and some of its
advocates with no small degree of zeal.
The Enquirer, forthwith read him out of
the Democratic party, aud has abused him
numerically ever since. 1t endeavored to
bring downthe whole vengeance of the party
upon him to defeat him for Prosecutor
Against all this opposition, Todd was sus-
:ained by the voters of his own county. and
although defeated, yet occupies proud po-
sition as IN Anti-N ebraska Democrat.
He is now enjoying the political associa.
ton Of "the People" of his State, upon the
solid basis the Compromise principles, as
endorsed by the Democratic and Wing plat
forms of '52, and by all good Demo Gratis,
down to the time Of the conception of the Ne
braska sDindIe Todd also has the pleasure
of sharing with large majority of the people
Of Indiana, their recent brilliant triumph,
over the rotten party from which he made
such timely escape. This is not SO bad
position after all, and the "epataph" which
the Enquirer has written for Todd, would be
more appropriate to the tombs of the delud.

W When will the river rise, is question
oftener asked then answered. Some persons,
who for many years have reposed great con-
ddence in ala Belle REVERE" now begin to
despair of ever seeing it what it used to was,
while others, more sanguine, still retain
faint hope of seeing swell by the middle
OF November at the furtherest. Now, for
ourselves, we believe that the river will
rise just as quick as a sufficient quantity
of rain falls along its course, and no sooner.

Defe.. of the DemocrauIc PARTY,

The election is over. Those acquainted
with the wires knew it to be over at noon
yesterday. The suspense which i'm parts in
terest to curiosity, and qnickens exp ectation
into excitement, was not suffered to exist
even for an hour. The polls in the several
wards were visited by a phalanx of anti
Democrats in the early part of the day, and
a vote was polled by noon, which fully ndi-
Gated the result. All "likelihoods and forms
of hope" were withdrawn at that time
Democratic candidates seemed even gratifi.
ed TO learn they would be honored with fair
complimentary vote. A bets were consid-
cred forfeited and all the Reform candidates
booked. A visit to the several wards at this
period OF the contest, betokened order end
a quiet contest at the ballot box. The face
OF drunken man was not to be seen. Spe-
cial constabes sworn in to aid the regular
officers of the ward, in the proportion of four
to one, were around prepared for contingent
cies, but not single fight could be got up
affordlng an opportunity for any special
achievement on the part of the authorities.
If the masses were not thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of peace, they were at least
imbued with the spirit of caution and moder-
alton. In the afternoon, few partial COLI.
sions took place; but scarcely anything suf-
ficiently important to deserve the dgnified
appellation Of a row. A train of about
fifteen or twenty wagons passing through the
Eighth Ward, with party displaying the
"siars and stripes" and cheering the Reform
ticket, were, it is said, booted at by one of
the opposite party. One of the company
jumped from the cars, was followed by 9TH
ers, and there was general rush Of an arm
ed multitude, to the scene. After a few
passes in the air, no enemy being in the field,
the redoubtable onset closed, with few huz-
zahs, the trumphal chariots drove on. The
dull routine Il the polls was occasionally en-
livened by the appearance of a phe,on, or q
four horse wagon, the company in which,
"skittish with expectation" or rather elated
with triumph, sent up shouts for the Reform
canditates.- Gin. Com.

The GRAHAM TTIAL.-Is proceeding slow.
ly in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, New
York. A juror, suspected of being rela-
tive, or at least very intimate friend Of the
accused, was objected to by the District At.
torney, and finally Withdrawn. This took
place, it appears, after several of the wit
nesses had been examined; but by the
consent of the parties Judge and all, the trial
proceeded. Rather queer dOngs we should
think in course of justice, but, as usual
where there is money and influence, such
little Irregularities are not noticeable. Ora.

little whether it is done according to the usage
