The New York Election Frauds.

The sentence of the Baltimore actors in
the New York ballot forgers' plot, turn
out to be even severer than was some days
ago anticipated. Both are sentenced to
the penitenliary for life. There is little
doubt but that Col. North, Governor Sey-
mour's vote agent, will suffer the same
fate.
The evidence againstfim is known to
be overwhelming. His trial is postponed
again to-day, in order to give Seymour s
commissioners full swing. They are still
going through the solemn farce Of affecting
to be busy finding out what it's all about.
AS result of their inquiries. they were
to-day FURNISHED with specimens of the
forgers' affidavits, ready to be filled up
with soldiers name, and his ballot,
which North bad prepared. The existence
of such affidavits in blanks is itself the
most damning evidence of the forging.
because the affidavit sets forth that this
soldier is a residedt of such place. law

shows that no soldier has been there to

Letter from a Conscript.
CAMP CARHINGroN,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. IL, 1864.
Mr. EDIToR.-As it HIS been asserted
by Democrats that the Abolitionists do not
60 to war will submit fact or two for
their consideration: In German township
at the last draft three Democrats to one
Abolitioni>t were drafted. the most of the
latter being in the per rentsge; but after
we left Michigan City for indianapolis il
was ascertained that on the car occupied
by the conscripts from the above township
there were for Mcclellan and AZ for
Lincoln. On the shole train there were
$50 for Lincoln aud Is for McClelland.
Nov. as The Plymouth Democrat has
been telling its readers that the draft would
fall mostly upon his party, | would like
to know what he thinks of the above.
The reason there were more Copper
heads drafted in German than Addition
lists is because the township is largely
Democratic. as the election returns show.
Seven of all that party drafted are here;
zine Others got OF on til" plea Of conscien-
tious scruples. which makes sixteen, the
rest skedaddled.

The Indiana Sons of Liberty.

Joe. Bingham, the editor OF the Indiana
State Sentinel. and Chairman Of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee, testified
before the Military Commission on Friday
last. He made clean breast of it. and
implicated a number Of prominent Demo
Gratis in the conspiracy to get up a rebeli-
ion in the Northwest. Among others he
mentions the name of Mr.. Cushman
from the North pant of the State. He
says he saw Mr.. Cushman present at one
of the meetings of the Grand Council OF
the State in that city. This establishes
the fact that Mr.. G.. vas third degree
member of the o. a X. or S. L. which are
identiealiy the same in purpose and design.
as he would not otherwise have been admit
ted. 1t also establishes the additional fact,
notwithstanding the repeated dcnials Of
the Dem ocrat and others, that there is
Lodge or Temple in this county, as Mr.. c.
was there as a delegate, and he could not
have have been delegate without constitu-
ents. The question arises who were the
CO. cons pirOtofs of Mr.. Cu>hman in this
county? Horace Corbin was probably
one OF them, at least we infer so from he
fact that Mr.. Cushman, in his letters to
Dodd, which we published month OF
two since. mentioned his name. promising
Dodd that Corbin would take him from
hereto South Bend, after he got through
with inStructing them here in the new
work, AMI had tasted some of his "good
whiskey, but who are the others? There
were certainly more than two. Perhaps
Mr.. eastman, like Bingham and Hani-
son, may be induced to make clean breast
of it, whep called before the Court to tes-
tify. as we understand he will be soon. a
mans sins are very apt to betray him soon

says:
Joe Blngham's evidence. given on Fri
day last before the Military Commission
in behalf Of the Government, is felt by the
Copperheads to be very damaging to their
already cracked regulations for loyalty
Finding themselves unable to escape from
the inputation of a guilty knowledge OF
the conspiracy at least. they have taken. to
quarreling among themselves. There are
as many factions among them as individu
MS.
Mcdonald has been sick ever since the
election, and is understood to have grown
violently worse since Bingham took a
swear.
Athon's guilt is made clearer than ever,
and he inwardly frets his liver, cogitating
on the probable consequences.
Perkins is mad at Mcdonald. on account
of the letter Mac wrote about him, and
says the Copperhead defeat i owing to
McDonald's failure in the canvass with
Morton and want of pluck generally. He
said day or two since he was openly adj
vocating the disbanding of the Democratic
party. Among the leaders Athon agrees
with him.
Mcdonald and his friends attribute the
disaster to DoId aud the Sons of Liberty,
and the exposure of the conspiracy.

Michael G.. Kerr will be brought on the
stand as witness for the Government,
