CHAPTER XVIII.

NEVILLE and very fashionable young
man, who had been very assiduous in his
attentions to Ida Holmes, were walking,
arm in arm, along narrow street, which
Neville had selected, as he said, for its
privacy. The night was clear and the
elongated shadows showed that the young
moon was about setting, and the hour was
10 o'clock. Suddenly Neville stopped,
and said to his companion
"See you that muffied figure partially
concealed by the gate-post2" Receiving
an affirmative answer, he continued
"Now look little to the left, and you will
see the immaculate Miss Holmes--your
ideal of a perfect woman-tripping lightly
along to fulfil an assignation with some
man whose character is such as to forbid
his visiting at the house, or whose designs
demand secrecy and darkness. You were
offended with me for objecting to be in :

the man you see before us, held low
Office in the army, and was broken of his

mainly because the General knew of, and
dreaded, the clandestine intimacy between
him and Ida, and when you see, with yOur

/ MORE DEMocRArIc ELECTION Rrors.-
The Boston Traveller gives the following
account of a disgraeefal riot at the polls
in Manchester, New Hampshire, during
the recent election ..klsasAii y
AT 10 o'clock an attempt was made by
Democrats and foreigners TO prevent the
opening of the polls, but their opposition
was queIled by City MARSHALL Lowell, who
had anticipated trouble and was prepared
with police force. During his absence.
at l2 o'clock, in accordance with |. pre-
concerted arrangement, a party Of several
hundred Democrats, mostly foreigners,
took. possession OF the room, destroyed the
check list smashed up the Furniture, and
assaulted the Ward officers Two ofthe
ballot-boxes were saved, with the votes,
by throwing them from the window, tho
rest we're destroyed.
George w. Pinkcrton, one ofthe Select
men, was violently, assaulted. Others
were attacked and escaped from the win
dows. Joshua p. Wheeler, police officer
was severely injured. H, M. Bailey, w.
II. III. Crawford, and others, were bruised.
In Ward six there was some confusion and
fighting. II. N. Batchelder was badly
beaten by a crowd of assaiants. There
has been some fighting since the closing
OF the polls, and many Foreigners seho bolt-
ed from he Democratic ranks hare been
assaulted, and an meny Instances badly
oease'. "a vaHnnrg lactsHss bna-psiss e6t
Had these riots occurred in Louisville
or Baltimore er New Orleans, they would
have been heraided by all the Democratic
newspapers in the country as the resultiof
KNOW Nothingism, and the poor for
eigners who were beaten would have been
spoken of fas the victims Of Know Nothing
ferocity. But now it is the Demecsaticex
that has gored the foreign bull, and the
Democrats newspapers are as mute as fish.
They haven't word to say. They donot
syen let their readers know that such elec-
lion riots have occurred. The polls have
been taken possession of, ballot boxes have
been brokers up, the officers Of elect
ons have been violently assaulted, and
foreignershave been badly beaten,5y Dsm-
'crdts. Where sleep the shnnders Of de.
nunciation and abuse that were hurled
upon the Know-Nothings when foreigners
we're beaten in Louisville or in Baltimore
or assaulting natiyc-born citizens? What
has become Of that exceeding moraliySof
Democratic editors who were wont to leox
'ure 50 solemnly upon the damaing ont
'age of election riots2 They have an op-
now to parade anew their splcn-
lid virtues and to repeat their most terri
ole epithets against the assailants ofthese
poor martyrs, the foreigners. The only
Inference is, that those against whom these
nyectives should be launched are their own
political associates, Buchanan Democrats.

The Board of Directors for the Vest,

know him can doubt that the election Of
DR.. Montgomery will be an era eminentlyp

prosperity of the Asylum.
The Institution is also equally fortunate
