THE MUNICIPAL CAUCUsING.

a call for citizens meeting, to be held this
e ening, to nominate candidates lor the offices
of mayor, aldermen, and clerk of the police
court, will be found in another part of this
paper 1t is addressed to "all the legal voters
of Worcester who are in favor OF citizens
nominations which will more fairly represent
the various interests Of the city than the ticket
presented by the caucus held on Wednesday
evening"
There is among the republicans of the city
considerable dissatisfaction with sumo af the
proceedings of the caucus held on Wednesday
evening, more Eth the proceedings complained
of than with the nominees for mayor and al
dermen. Some republicans expected the re-
nomination of Mayor Davis, while others were
strongly opposed to it and now feel that they
did not get fair chance TO nominate some
body else. The board of aldermen nominated
is admitted to be an excellent one, the men ON
The ticket being very competent, and nearly
OF them men who have served in the same
capacity. The complaints we hear relate
more to the proceedings connected with the
baloting for the candidates for mayor and
clerk of the police court than anything else
The complaints are that the arrangements
for collecting the ballots necessarily excluded
from voting all those who could not get into
the hail. SO that hundreds who had been ait
ang outside renounced the caucus and went
home that there was reat deal OF traudu-
lent voting, which, under the circumstances,
the committee could not or did not prevent J
and that the caucus refused to take another
ballot fox clerk of the police court, after the
committee reported that great many fraudu-
lent votes had been cast on that ballot. 1t is
very certain that an immense number of per-
sons went 10 the City Hall, and that a large
proportion of them could not get IN, and OF
course could not deliver their votes 10 the
collecting committee Never was there such
a crowd at a caucus in Worcester. The room
was too small Mechanics Hall itself woult
have been filled.
The balloting for clerk Of the police court
and the declared result OF it, have been the oc
casion OF most complaint. Mr.. Murray, tn
nominee, is native of Worcester, born o
Irish parents. We understand that he has ex
Icellent qualifications tor the office. He is musi
cal director at St. Johns Church, and is a mai
of very correct habits and character, well es
teemed by all who know him. The complaint
we hear are not directed against him personal
by. Tie dissatisfaction is occasioned by tn,
fact that the caucus gave both the mayor ant
clerk of the police court to the democrats, anc
that there was a refusal to order another bal
lot after the committee reported that there ha,
been fraudulent voting. This matter NOR
than anything else has intensified the dissatis
Worcester daily spy., 1861-12-06

faction we hear expressed and it contributes
no little stimulus 10 The movement for another
caucus.
Present appearances indicate lively CON
test at the coming city election rather than
such wc contrived and harmonious 'citi-
zens" movement as many of us had antici-
pated. 1t seems to us about time for the vO-
tiers in this city to devise some substitute for
these general cacuSes. Under ordinary cir
cumstances they may perhaps be conducted
without such embarrassment. But, ON ucca.
sions that interest and draw ont most Of the
voters, they are so large as to embarrass any
attempt TO do the business as il should be
done. Ii he voters in the several wards had
met in their ward rooms, Wednesday night,
and baloed for candidates, the business could
have been done more speedily as well as more
satisfactorily and with proper arrangements
fraudulent voting would have been impossible.
That is not the first general caucus that has
fai d to satisfy all the people. We have sug
ID that system OF primary meetings in the
a 5 which is used in many other cities.
This OF some plan OF no ding conventions of
deeg es from the wards should be substituted
for general Caucuses.

THE RAvAGEs IN KENTUCKY.-Thc path
OF the destroyer in Kentucky has been no less
fatally marked than in Missouri. One private
letter says Had the seven riagues Of Igpyt
passed over the Cumberland district, it would
not nave been more desolate. The poor farm
ers, who, in a season Of plenty have not more
than enough to see them safe into the spring,
were robbed of every sack of flour and pound
o pork their fences burned, their cows, sheep
and geese shot dead in their tracks. | count
ed on one farm that Of a noted Union man,
thirty head of cattle shot, and lett in tie fields
TO poison the air with their pestiicntiaI odors.
From not one OF them had single steak been
cut. As the federal army marched along, the
atfrighted inhabitants came skulking from the
woods to look at their devastated dwellings.
The ungathered corn served 10 feed the rebel
horses, and its planters now go mourning up
and down the land without food Tor t0eir starY-

DEATH OF NOAH SrURTEvANr.-The death
of the well known merchant, Mr. Sturtevant,
produced general gloom in East Boston. The
flags are flying at hal-mast there to-day, in
token OF sorrow for the sad event. 1t appears
that Mr. Sturtevant backed his carriage
directly upoa the railroad track, near SHADES
crossing. The carriage was struck by the
engine, and Mr.. Sturtevant fell directly upon
the track, and the train passed over both legs,
nearly seyerug them from the body. The
train was stopped as soon as possible, and the
wounded man was taken up and placed in one
ot the cars, in as comfortable position as
could be obtained. Several OF the passengers
came to look at him, and he was recognized
by Mr. Mansfield OF Saugus Center. On the
arrival of the train at the Boston depot notice
was sent to his family at East Boston, and he
was sent to the Massachusetts General Hos.
pltal, but died before reaching it.~BOSton
