A Stuffed Ba,lot-Box.

We yesterday had an opportunity OF seeing a
ballot-box in the possession OF the Vigilance Com.
mittee, which rascally Ingenious. 1t was about
two feet long, fourteen inches wide, and foot
deep, and painted on the outside dark sky-blue
color. 1t had moulding or cleas around the bot
tom, and at the top next the lid The lock, Which
looked like an ordinary one is so constructed that
though it is worked with key, it might also be
opened by peculiar pressure upon one side Of the
lid. There was an anger hole in the middle of the
lid, and some of the wax with which it had been
sealed at the closing of the polls when last used,
was still remaining. II seems that the box was
used last at primary election in the Seventh
ward and the votes were still in it. On looking ut
the balot-box, few would suspect the contrivances
about it but on further and minute examination
il was found that it had false bottom and false
side, sliding in grooves, under and behind which
were packed quantities Of spurious votes all ready
for an election.
The mode Of working the machine seems to nave
been this: A sufficient number of the votes which
the initiated wished to elect, were prepared and
secreted under and behind the false bottom and
side. The election was held: Smith was the man
to be elected, but Brown was the man OF the peo-
pies choice. The polls were then closed, and the
box sealed and placed in the hands of some one in
the secret. The stufer then drew out the false
bottom at his convenience, turned the box upside
down. showed the bottom back, and Smith hal a
majority of the votes or, suppose Brown had still
majority, the false side pulled down, and an
other res srvoir of votes for Smith was opened
Smith now had g triumphant majority, though the
seal had not been touched or, If nothing else
would do, handful of votes for Smith might be
easily thrown in and in each case the lid would
probably be opened, and polled votes correspond
ing with the number of the stuffed ones be with
drawn. One thing was certain--Smith would be

TO tie Editor of the american Organ:
In reading the impartial account given by yes,
terday's Star of the assault upon the Mayor, dis
cover that in the acuteness of the scrutiny OF the
writer he has failed to mention one circumstance,
which, with your permission shall relate.
Upon the first attempt at violence when the
parties were dividing to allow room to strike,
saw gentleman rush through the crowd, put his
arms around the Mayor, keep off those who were
attempting violence, appeal to the crowd to ssst,
and, from the influence ofmoral power and courage,
bear the Mayor unsullied through enraged
crowd This man is one of the victims to the UNI
precedented prescription of the Mayor; one whose
means of existence was taken from him by the
he then protected one who possessed the qualif-
cations for office as laid down by Mr. Jefferson;
one whose exercise of the Office of Captain of the
Watch has won for linn the admiration and esteem
of his fellow citizens This man is Captain Birch.
This Is not all / saw. While all this was being
done, one of the appointees of the Mayor stood
almost in arms reach of him when he was struck
at and this not lie son of Democracy, from fear or
something else, failed to assist brother Demo-
crat and benefactor. Compare the conduct of these
two men, and see in whose favor the contrast is
made WITNESS.
