the Abolition majority 8,672. In the re-
naming % counties, the vote last year
gave the Abolitionists a majority of ] )

majority 10,515. Ii we allow total fall
ing off in the Abolition vote OF so 0 in
the counties to be heard from, there will
still be an Abolition Majority on home

gain of 10000 on Curtins vote, and that
the Democrats will have majority on

total reported Democratic gain, shows
again so far Of 14.232 in 48 counties.

The Soldiers Vote Fraud.
The mil;ta.y court at Washington has

The military court at Washington has ad-
iourned the trial of Col. North and others
charged with forging soldiers votes, on the
l4lh, in order to allow the defense II sum-
mon witnesses. Lt-Col. hurry, one of the
accused. has been released on parole. He
test fies that large number OF soldiers atf-
davits and powers of attorney. purporting to
BE- sworn before him and bearing has name
were forseries. He is the seventh ofheer
whose name has been forged in Col. North
office
Gov. Seymour's commissioners have re-
turned from Washington and made their re-
port. They could obtain no copies of the
charges or evidence against Col. North and
his associate, and we're treated by Secretary
Stanton and his assistants, with the dlscoLr-
teSy extended alike to friends and foes visit
ing that department. Finding they could
accomplish nothing they addressed a COM
munication to President Lincoln, stating the
whole case and lef'. They were allowed to
visit Col. North and the other prisoners and
talk with them In the presence of an officer.
They found them shabb.ly treated, not being
allowed TO leave their cells to answer the
calls OF nature, had meager and course pris-
on rations, and were otherwise in circnmstan-
ces Of discomfort not usually visited upon
convicted criminals in civilized commcnities.
The commissioners complained TO Judge Ad-
rocate Holt, and these abuses were remedied.
The commissioners further testify to diff
entities placed in the way of democratic
81 nj ,,l =.
soldiers desiring to vote for Gen. Mcclellan
which are shameful if true.
Capt O;tenoth of the 18th New York, has
been arrested at Buffalo and sent TO Wash
ington, charged with being concerned in The
voting fraud. Frauds in soldiers votes have
been discovered in New York city. Hamil-
ton Harris, chairman of the Union state
committee, otfeis $1,000 for evidence of the
first fraud sufficient TO convict the offender
There will be general vigilance throughout
the state, and it is probable that the early
exposure of the attempt has prevented IL:
success.
the democratic papers still have the assur
ance to charge that these frauds were proeur
ed by the republicans in order to obtain an
excuse for throwing GU. genuine soldiers
votes. 1t is sufficient answer to this, lha.
all the men engaged in the fraud are demo-
Gratis, and all agents appointed By Gov Sc v
,nour. 1t is democratic affair from begin
ming to end, and:there Is not particle of evil
dence that any republican was connected
with il keep: fer its detection and exposure.
The democrats cannot escape Inc responsible
tv fpr it. and there can b. no doubt that the
gigantic fraud was planned and paid fo- By
tne paTy leaders.
