CITY TROE BI.fs.

II Is well known that the Unionisis OF our
city have two rival organizations, one OF them
derived from the old Republican, the other
from the Union" movement OF 1861. The
State Convention ~ last May, while admitting
half the delegates from either organization, IN
structed the State Committee to heal the feud-
an instruction which that Committee saw nj 90
disregard Now We have, as natural result OF
This. rival Union candidates in tho With and ia
the With Congress Districts--the two which ne
are most likely, if united, TO cauy-and that thiS
feud renders the loss Of both Districts probable.
The riyal candidates are Mcssr5. Henry j. Ray
,nond and Rush &. Hawkins in the With, and
Messrs William L. Dodge and Benz. +. Ham
ierre in the VIIlth--all capable and worthy
men. who would serve acceptably if elected.
But they cannot oil be elccted--if they all run,
it is scarcely probable that any Of them Will be.
But why should, why need they all run?
Mr.. Raymond, at a meeting IN tho XVIII
Ward last Friday evening, said;
"Ile had no motive for being candidate except q
desire to be of service 90 the country and the Union
cause, and that a. the Union men OF the Dl'ulc',

We should like to hear more specifically what
"attempts to secure an adjustment ofthe difficult
ties" have been made on that side Of the house,
or rather, VIVA. offers have been made by them
which the other side could and should have ac-
cepted The friends of Col Hawkins tell Us
that all the overture which they have been
called to consider amounted just to this: "Yon
must not withdraw yonr candidate, for VIC will
never withdraw ours" And the friends OF
Capt Manierre make like report from their
District. This is not the way TO settle disputes
Of this nature.
! We call once more on the State Committee
and on the Unionists of the two Districts, to
take at once the necessary measures to re-
duce the number Of Union candidates to one in
each District. We cannot afford to have more,

Every Mcclellan organ in this city Is trying
hard 10 suggest disasters to the National cause
on, of the recent Military operations. This
shows the direction Of their sympath:es and their
hopo,. The Erprsss tries 10 make out that Gen.
Grants forces took but three hundred prisoners
last Thursday, though the latest telegraphic
dispatch, dated Headquarters of the Army,
Oct. 80" printed in its columns, says:
awe have cigh; hundred and twenty.eight prisoners
and tour battle ags, moot Of which were taken by the
Second CoGps
So, the telegraph having reported, under
date of - lIagersiown, Oct. 30, lOi p. NJ" that

Now, nobody had said that The firing was
heard at Hegersto,cn whence the dispatch Is
dated; il may have been heard thirty miles
further southwark. But these birds OF evil
omen can never forbcar croaking on the eve Of
an election. They know that their last faint

perate chance of breaking the heart and dasbng

SEYMOUR ADMITS THE FRAUDS

Governor Seymour spoke at Penn Yam last
Friday afternoon. An instant conviction of him,
on q charge of completely with the frauds upon
the votes of the soldiers Of the State of New.
York, could be got anywhere in the world upon
the flippant and jeering admission which no
made of gigantic iniquity. He said: /" 1 under.
stand the Government has arrested some persons
in Washington on the charge Of Illegally
altering the Soldiers votes. 1t i'll becomes
Government which has sent soldiers by entire
regiments to vote in Indiana, and which ha,
controlled the blllot-box in Maryland by tbs
bayonet, to inquire very closely concerning a
few fraudulent votes" See letter from Penn

THE INDIANA ELECTION.

As the Copperhcad organs are making tire.
mendous outcry over the frauds which they
aIlege to have been perpetrated in every County
of Indiana, it is well to go little more into de-
tail to show how entirely the charge is without
foundation.
l. The increase ofvotc IL alleged to be unpreee-
denied. Tho total in round numbors 10, for
Morton (Union) 1853, 600, for Mcdonald (Dem.
1873, 600 Now it is notorious that almost the
entire Bell and Everett vote of 1850 was cast
this year for Morton, while in 1862 it was not
given to either party. Added to this, thousands
of men who voted for Douglas in 1860 voted for
Morton now. Yet, in 1860, Lincoln and Bell
received together l44, $50 votes, and Douglas
and Breckenridge only l27,SGi. TIE increase
OF Gov. Morton's vote is therefore less than
5000, while the increase on the part Of his
opponents is nearly 5000. =.
The elections OF 1862 did not draw out a full
vote in any s4ate least of all i'll Indiana. Com
PARSONS with that year are therefore useless
and unfair.
II. 1t is said that, in consideration Of the vast
number OF men sent to the war, The vote Of the
State oughtto be diminished from 1860. This
isN popular notion, but an entire fallacy.
!. Onc-half of the soldiers have returned
home, their terms expired, or themselves dis
ablcd from further service. or absent With or
without leave. This Is established by conclusive
statistics.
?. All SICK and wounded Indiana soldiers
were allowed TO 90 home tovote. From 10000
TO 20, 900 were at home, whose terms have not
expired.
3. The natural increase OF population far out
weighs the decrease caused by the absence of
soldiers. This has proved to be the case even
in Eastern States like Maine and Pennsylvania
much more in growing Western State ike
Indiana.
III. The claim of fraud in erery county in
favor OF the same party, is a selfconyieted alb
surdity. 4 majority Of the counties and Of the
polls were under the control OF the Democrats
themselves. At from one-fourth to one.thiId of
them, the judges of election were all of that
party Did they cheat themelvesl Did they
all conspre against their own party's candi-
dates
~. With two exceptions, the greatest rels-
tive gains OF Gov. Morton over the vote OF leo2
arc in counties controlled by his oppo-
ncnts. We will cite few cases giving the
vote OF 1852, which put the counties under the
control of Democratic officials, and the vote
and gain in percentage of Gov. Morton in
l-tI.

swINDLING BEGINS TODAY

Union men. look TO the Registry today and 10.
morroU The desperate rogucs who have been
partially exposed at Baltimore are on another
tack. Some Of the leaders met last night in one
Of the strongest Copperhead Wards, aud ar
ranged for registering the names Of pretended
soldiers to the number Of many hundreds 10
that single Ward. These names are to be
rushed Oh the books as early as possible to pre-
vent inquiry.
But no man, whether soldier or civilian. can
be registered by proxy-no man can have his
name registered without being himself present
at the time Except in the case Of those who
voted last November, and whose names have
been copied already as the basis Of the new lisD.
Union men, stand by the books, and if any ons
offers a name other than bis own for registry,
challenge at once; it is as much your right and
duty as to challenge fraudulent vote. To
record, or attempt 70 record, name thus ques-
toned unless the pers0n himself forthwith ap-
pears and proves to be legal voter, is a INSIDE
meanor, punishable the same as knowingly taxi
ing al Illegal vote.
Go early and watch closely; see that no per.
son is registered ,eho is not actually present. Tho
pretended registry Of soldiers is fraud to cover
illegal voting.
