ELECTION FRAUDs.---When the exposition Of the
frauds at the late election, threatened by the Har-
mony Hall Committee, shall take place, If ever il
win present some results of an astonishing charac-
ter Whether certain friends of the administration,
whose names viii be brought into the investiga-
ton will like to be exposed TO the scrutiny of such
an examination, remains to be seen. We will name
only one al a specimen. We have heard that q
certain wellknown officer OF the Capitol, hereto
fore supposed by thousands TO be native, is not
only foreigner, but has never been naturalzed
according TO law, yet voted on Monday last against
the American ticket He, of course, knew he had
no right to vote but what Of that, lie is not the
worst member Of the amalgamation party. m
An lrishman presented HIMSELF as we are told,
at the polls in certain ward, and on being chal-
lenged by the vigiant sentinel Of the American
party, displayed certificate Of naturalization,
which, on examination, turned out TO contain q
different name from that Of the applicant, and he
was accordingly rejected Upon the result being
announced he exclaimed, in the ''rich brogue,'
sits domed hard it won't do for me, six others
have voted on it already"
Another class Of frauds perpetrated by that par
ty, was to apply for certificates of transfer from
one ward to another, of certain names, supposed
not to be present, and to vote upon them. One
case of this kind was stated on the Streets and We
may well claim the benefit of the maxim er w,o
disce omnes
Let the list Of false voters be made out, and the
rejected voters be added up, and we win probably
find the msjorties already given Increased by it.
Nor TRuE.--The Star of yesterday stated that
twelve suits had been instituted, by persons natu-
rallied since the 3Ist of December last, against
some of the Commissioners Of Election, because
their votes were rejected on Monday last We
are informed that this statement is wholly incor-
rect, not one having been instituted up to IL
o'clock to-day; and we presume none will be, not
withstanding the Strenuous efforts" Of the editor
Of the Star to inducegsuch proceedings against
men, acting under oath, and, as admitted by the
court, competent judges, as to who were en-
titled to vote under the 9th section of the char
ter of ls4s, which reads as follows:
That every free, ,phite male citizen of the
United States, who shall have attained the age of
twenty-one years, and shall have resided in the
city Of Washington one year Immediately proceed

SEVENTH WARp.--We are requested to state
to the public that ne instructions were received
by the commissioners of election of the Seventh
Ward from the judges of the Circuit Court, or
from any other source on Monday last, and that
they were governed in their action by the Charter
alone.
Any person DESTROYS Of knowing the number OF
foreign votes received and rejected at the Seventh
Ward poll, can receive the information by calling
on any of the commissioners of election as list
of the names was TAKEN so as to satisfy those who
might think fraud had been perpetrated

FIRE.--About halfpast ten o'clock last night a
bright light was seen in close proximity 10 the
Capitol which caused those people residing in the
western portion Of the city TO conclude that the
Capitol was again on fire, and large crowd float
ed down the avenue to witness L. They were
agreeably surprised to find that the light was
caused by the burning Of stable situated directly
In the rear Of Duff Green's row, between the ave

quite heavy. The building was burnt TO the ground,

The most brilliant light proceeded from the
burning building, and, from the elevated situation
OF the latter, must have been seen at great dis
lance. TIE origin of the fire is not known.
Rior.-George Brown and Sarah Brown, his
wife, both colored, had regular family row at
their home In the Northern Liberties In which the
daughter was concerned. The latter was rather
disobcdient and disposed to roam at will over the
city, and the father and mother were tying her up
TO keep her at home. The noise made by the
daughter caused tremendous gathering and noise,
which was the cause of the matter being invest.

peace and the father became security for his errng
daughter again.
