The Baltimore Election.

The Baltimore Exchange in an article on
the recent election IN Baltimore, says -
"The fact that Mr.. Swami has been re-
elected to the Mayoralty by violence and
fraud is less discreditable to our city, than
the supposition that he has been retained in
office by the voluntary suffrages of its peo-
pie. The truth is, that there was no election
on Wednesday, mot even the form or pretence
of one. From the opening OF. the polls in
morning until their closing in the evening,
in nineteen wards in the city, they were oc-
cupied and held in the hands of armed bull
lies, who, with comparatively few exceptions
as the returns will show, permitted nobody
to vote who did not openly show and as
openly vote the "American ticket. That
ticket, moreover, was so marked upon the
back with blue chequered or diamond
shaped pattern, resembling that upon the
back of an ordinary playing card, that, how
ever folded, it could be recognized without
difficulty in the hand of the voter. By this
means, the secrecy of the ballot was effec-
tually destroyed, and the ruffians who guard
ed every avenue TO the polls were enabled
to tell at glance whose votes might be ad-
mitted, and whose votes were TO be exclud-
ed. Not content, however, with excluding
legal voters opposed to the election of Mr.
Swami, an immense quantity,
not less than from two thirds TO three fourths
of the whole number polled-of purely ille-
gal votes, were cast in his favor-not only
men but boys, frequently voting-not twice
or thrice, but ten or twelve times,-not only
in different wards but in the same ward-not
at different hours of the day merely, but
half dozen times in succession, with
scarcely an attempt at concealment or dis
guise. Other votes were polIed which were
purely fictitious-tickets being handed 10
the judges, which were falsely represented
10 have been rendered by persons in omni.
buses and carriages, who were unable 10
get out and walk TO the window. In short,
every trick and stratagem which fraud could
invent, ,andevery extremity 10 which violence
could resort, were successfully employed
for the purpose of electing Mr.. Swami"

Dogs.

If somebody would ''dock" the dogs of
this town, by cutting their tails off close be.
hind their ears he would confer an inestlma-
ble favor. This curtailment of the fair pro.
portions of some of the CANNES would al
low persons TO- pass along without danger of
losing their limbs, or being partially "chawed
up None can entertain more kindly feelings
than we for the noble specimens of the race
canine, yet We do protest against the main
tenace of such countless numbers of ill. fed,
ill-looking and miserable ours as are 10 be
seen each day in this town. The poorer that
family is the more dogs it seems TO own,
and it is doubtful if there is many in town
who have not a life interest in this species
of stock. Among the most wretched resi-
dents children may be famishing, yet they
nearly all manage to keep dogs. We dom
know tRat there IS any remedy for this evil
save that every citizen who appreciates its
extent should, vi et arms, abate it if posi-.
BILE, by dispatching the delinquent quadrup.

Prospects of the Democracy.

In the course of an able article OIL the
Congressional Election al the North," the
South says :-"But, let the present state of
things be what they may, the prospects of
the Democratic party of the Union will not
greatly suffer in any event These elections
over, the Kansas difficulty will be at an end.
There will be no discordant element in the
way of perfect cooperation of all sections
of the party, in the next President election.
On the other hand, the disorganization of the
Opposition viii! become every day more ill
tense and impraclicable the chances of an
effective coalition will constantly diminish,
in proportion 10 the increase of candidates
and the multiplication of irreconclable is
sues, The most determined of the Black
Republicans will adhere TO the anti slavery
article OF their creed 10 the bitter end but
the occasion for its immediate application
past and the excitement subsided, the con.
servative portion of the party will begin TO
reflect upon the ultimate consequences OF
such purely sectional movement. Black
RepubIicanism will appear in the next Pres.
idential canvass, as fiercely sectional as ever
but with such diminished proportions as to
render it powerless formischief. The"Amer-
leans" will doubtless preserve their organi-
cation, unless. meantime, they become merg-
ed in the controlling element of the opposi.
ton. In either event, the position and pros.
poets of the Democracy will be the same
the character of the Opposition; and for
our part, we care not how soon they combine
their scattered forces.

Then AND Now.-Previous 10 the late
election, the organs of the Opposition party
harped continually upon the idea that the
iron manufacturers had been ruined by Dem
ocratic policy; and that President Buchanans
Administration had produced nothing but
ruin and distress. Now, when the election
10 over, aud The end desired by those who
published these cl,alges 10 aeeouplieneu,
the tune is changed, and whole columns of
their papers are filled with glowing accounts
of the prosperity of business-of large iron
establishments going into operation, and of
the good time dawning upon us generally.
What has produced the sudden change
Certainly not the policy o. the Republicans,
for they are not yet in power. But the fact
is that the hue and cry about distress, and
the prostration of business, was raised mere
ly to deceive the people into the support of
Repubicanism, and that object being secur-
ed, the facts need no longer be perverted
How long will the people be deceived by
these diehonorable tricks of scheming poll
ticianse

HORRIBLE ACClDENT.

We are panied to announce the death of
ALLISON SHUT, son OF Elisha Shut, which
took place on last Saturday evening, the
cad inst. He met his death under the most
fearful and heartrending circumstances that
it has ever been our lot TO record.
The circumstances attending the result of
this young and interesting boys death, as
far as we have been able TO learn, is as fol-
lows 1T seems that, the young boy had
gone 10 the house of Mr.. Gordeon r. Goff,
who resides in this place, for the purpose
OF staying awhile there in the evening. as
Mr. Golf and wife was paying visit TO
some Of there friends in Briarcreek, and
while occupied in reading, one of the SONS
of MIR. Golf wertup stairs for the purpose
getting some apples and after opening the
stair door, young Shut observed a gun
standing in the corner, and asked if it was
loaded, whereupon MIR. Goff's son replied
thatlt was not, when, it seems, that Shut
asked 10 have the gun handed to him, which
the sonof Mr.. Goff endeavored to do, but it
was loaded, and by some cause or other,
while passing it over TO him was accidently
discharged, and the whole load taking effect
in the head of young Shut, blowing his
brains out, they flying clear cross the room.
He was sitting down at the time Immediate
ped his head into her lap. The explosion
had put out the lights that were burning in
the room at the time, and she supposed that
he was not shot, but soon the awful truth
came over her, for it was only but few
seconds until she felt the warm blood trink-
ling over her hands, and she Immediately
went TO the house of MEShuu and informed
his mother of the sad accident-bnt, alas it
was too late, he never spoke after the dis.
charge of the gun, and scarcely five minutes
had elapsed before his soul was in eternity.
He was in many instances different from
other boys of his age, studious, of an unex-
ceptionable character, and above all he was
ohedient to his parents. He was liked by
all who knew him ;-honest and upright;
a great lover of the different works, that
rendered TO things of future world, for at
the time of his departure from this earthly
sanctuary, or Immediately before, he was
reading the Life of Christ Thushas another
Justin the bloom oflife been called away from
us so Unexpectedly, and too one has been
called who could have looked for emnence
in days to come. Alas how true that man
I knoweth not when the Son of man cometh
His remains were inferred i'll the Metho.

was followed TO lis final resting place by a
large concourse ofpeople, and scarcely a dry
eye was to be seen. The funeral sermon
was delivered in the evening by the Rev
Mr.. Guyer, in the M. E. Church in this place,
/, and waslargely attended. a
Esquire Morris held an inquest over the
body, and the verdict of the jury was rem
dered in accordance with the facts above

The ELECTION IN BaLTIMoRE.-As usual
The election III Baltimore has ended in blood
shed. How long the conservative and law
abiding citizens of that city are going
to suffer such affairs 10 continue, we are
unable to say. Even men were taken from
their boats, at the wharves, and forced, by
the aid of the revolver and bowie knife, 10
go to the polls and deposite fraudulent votes.
Year after year are their elections thus
controlled, by band of wrelches, who are
fit but for the portion, known as ielon's
doom. Such state of affairs will soon
cease 10 be political virtue among that
portion of citizens, who know and obey the
laws. For we predict that the time is not
far distant when there will be a vigilence
committee formed, and the scenes of San
Francisco, will have TO be re enacted in
Baltimore; inshort, it is about the only meth
cd left them 10 cleanse their city ,and 10 put a
stop 10 such unlawful proceedings. A re-
formation is nee essary, and we hope it may
soon be made.
