Dishonesty Of Party Leaders.

OF the times that the people are READY
10 examine the acts and deeds Of their
public servants. independent Of party
shackles. The time for leading the
masses by the party halter. to support
ubiquitous measures, has passed, we
hope, never 10 return.
It's because Of this independent
spirit, that those who proved recresnt
to duty in the late Legislature. are
writhing 50, under the just indignation
Of their constituents. They make q
show Of justification, but their apollo
giss onlylprove how reckless they were.
When rebuked by honest men for fail
ing to elect Senator, they attempt
,ohide behind the miserable subter-
fuge. that'they offered to elect one. but
the house would not concur. In this,
they only tell falschood. to hide their
isiquity. Az homes. men. they should
state the fact as 1t Is. They could not
elect q pro.slavsrv oldliner, and there.
fore they would not elect. As we
showed two weeks ago. the law re.
curing them to 60 into joint ballot.
To elect several officers. IN plain. For
their neglect in this respect. they have
not even aplausable falsehood. and
they stand before the country periursd
and rcerssnt.
Had their failure been only In 70.

might have answered with men Of
moderate minds. and strong party
prejudices who never read any

The Fourth Ward.

In the Fourth Ward, there was not
quite so exciting time oft. as some
people expected TO see. This is known
as the Algerine Ward, is large one,
pretty densely populated with Irishmen
and has usually given n large Demo-
cratic majority. With one or two
late exceptions the adopted citizens
have had it all their own way.
There had been extensive prepare
tons made 10 rc.assert their ancient
prescription GA yesterday. secure the
judges, and control the polls. It was
well understood that the degraded
Irish population, melted by the Cow
boys, were 10 appear in force. They
had "been advised TO refrain from
drinking and keep quiet" and If the
Know Nothings undertook TO rule the
polls, to put 'em through. But they
missed figure or two in their calcu-
lations. Some OF Sans boys got up
so early that they didn't go to bed at
all, and were constantly on hand. At
the time oil opening the polls, there
was a pretty good sized crowd Of Amer
leans looking on, and u still larger
one Of Foreigner and Cow boys
When the judges were nominated.
the Americans refused 10 recognize
the voice Of the foreign born; until they
should be proved as citizens; and when
the would.bc judges made rush for
the inside. they were quietly hustled
over the railing.
Here an Irish patriot drew "col!'
with "we'll have the polls or fight"
"Talk enounh." was the rejoinder.
"wc'll keep the polls or die" accom-.
panied with the extraction ola formid-
able bowie-knilc. Now your Irish

cleared the streets. 1t has been sta.
