A VOICE FROM THE INTERIOR.
To the Editor Of The n. y. TysttDe.

To the Ed,tO, Of The n. Y. T,it.ne
SIR: Perhaps you would Ike to lear from the
country; if not, We of the country would like to
be heard of in the city. The people Of the interior
towns and "rursl districts are not unobservant OF
what is going politically in the great gore spot
and plague spot of the State. They are not unres-
sopaby alarmed but they are justly indignant at the
nefaIous attempts of the TamInany brood to nulify
the Registry law, and TO carry the ensuing Election
by Illegal and fraudulent votes. They wish it to be
remembered that though il be possible, by stuiag the
ballot boxes il the city, 10 se,ure the success OF tue
Black Den ocratic State ticket, 10 doubt can exist
that the Republican, Will have overwhelming
MAORI les in the Legislature. The fret work 10
be done a. Albany next Winter will be TO provide ef
cent securities for the purity Of the baotb'x, and
for rendering the ,fical canvas true reflex OF the
public WILL Should frauds, perjury, and nuliiie.'on
be Triumphant row, II must be for the last time.
LAWS must and will be passed tina. can be enforced
even in Nes.York City, and that will redeem that
Baby Ion Of couu .on ani rO.tenness from the co.,
troll of men who disgrace our boosted republican
Institutions, and who have well nigh proved the
theory OF ssfgoverrmert, a. least 50 far "a nlni-
cipaities concerned, 10 be delusion and snare
Il has been a serious question with msny people IN
the equity how far TIE Legislature should interpose
10 protect TIE weil-diiposed and sg-abidns portion
Of the denzens of our commercial emporium from the
brotherhood OF lswlessnes. and violence. For one,
| have been much inclined to say, Hands
off let those who want re.pec abe City Cow
errment fight for 1t, otherwise pay the penalty OF
their pu.lanimits." Surely they pays tne taxes,
AID they has their choice" And this wouA PROBABLY
be still nv opinicI did not the hideous inquiry which
has seized upon the los a. administrative threaten slso
to fs,ten tsef upon the Sste. This i, the last straw
that is bre sking the camsls back. The power that
has grown SO great BY the wholesale plumber OF the
City Treasury neraces tie public interests ani pub
lie morals st large. How are We to protect our
selves against similar usurpaaon, except We
strike at the root 0: tie evil Way should
we Of the country be compelled, 8. every
recurring State election to match ten twenty thou
saIi honest votes against as msny spurious oies N
tie city Depend upon it, the day and hour hA' sr-
rived when the downward course Of things II ms
direction must come 10 full stop. Tee disposition
unaffected by the authorities Ct your city charged
with the registration Of votes to rulfy the existing
law, and to conduct the election 10 known and ae-
knowe,ged disregard CT is provisions needs only to
be carried on: in the spirit with which il nss been
commenced TO bring the whole community 10 one
COMMON corve,on Of the imperative necessity Tor iAe
application Of prompt, radical, aid efficient remedy
The greater tee vary to be perPetrs.ed al the COM
ing election, the more certainly will the Legislature
take up that order OF business at the re;t sesson and
the more thoroughly vii toe knife and c,utery do
heir work.
IL is not little, bat rather good desl rensksb'e,
tbat the D.noeraey, falsely 80 called, like old Bour-
borisn. lesrns nothing from experience It's crimes,
without; losing their guilt, grow into enormous bnn-
Gers. Adversely teaches il no useful lesson. TIE
Democracy" is 70 lorger, IS the term implies, q
party Of the people. /, has been transformed into
