sOgDtERs VOTING.

We call especial attention 10 the bill reported
to the Assembly Of our State on Saturday, from
the Select Committee of Seven whereof speaker
Alvord is Chairman "to enable the qualified
electors Of this State, absent therefrom in the
Military for Naval service Of the United States,
TO vote"
We Ike this bill it dispenses with large
amounts OF numbering machinery. II does
whatever may be done TO put aside the dictation
of functionaries. II precludes the mischiets Of
camp visitation by electioneering agents, and Of
camp elections. Any commander may fairly
say. If this bill becomes o law, " | cannot have
nv camp turned into q caucus-Toom, TO the
prejudice of discipline and of efficiency in ac-
tual service; but every one Of my soldiers shall
vote exactly as he sees fit; and bundles Of the
ballots, etc., of each party shall be placed
where every one may read aud choose for HIM
self; and will see that the proper formulas are
observed for giving effect to such vote" Why
should not this prove generally satisfactory,
save TO those who desire that the soldiers shall
be deprived Of their yotesl
We do not consider the bill as drawn absO-
lutey perfect 1t does not clearly prescribe that
the Inspectors shall open one envelope, contain
ing soldiers ballots, verify his right 10 vote,
record his name, deposit his ballots and file
awoy the accompanying papers, before opening
another envelope. Yet this is essential; and II
should be provided for. Nor does II say--as we
think it ought-that the Inspectors should first
| take the votes Of all voters who may he present
on or after the opening Of the poll; and then
30 soon as there be no further voters offering to
vote, begin 70 open the envelopes and continue
opening and recording for one hour, unless all
/ the Soldiers Votes be meantime deposited;
next, take all the votes offered by present
voters: then return TO opening envelopes for an
other hour, and 50 on. Unless specific diTec-
tons be given on this head, some raSca'ly
Boards will ether defraud some of the present
voters of their right by pottering needIessly
over the envelopes, or will shut out part OF the
Soldiers Votes by dawdling over those OF pres
ent voters. II may be best to open all the en-
yelopes first, or to commence opening them at
10 or ii A. N. precisely, and finish them before
reverting to the reception OF ballots from pres
ent voters; but at any rate, the act should be
perfectly clear on this head
We think See. . rather loose in permitting the
affidavit OF ANY person being householder OF
said district to establish beyond dispute the
right OF ~ absent claimant. What if two OF
three persons eminently respectable and trust
wnnhv, .AonLd .wear pos.tyeIy that the TACT Is

We had glorious meeting here last night.
The loyal men at this OF learning assembled in ths
strength During the day the Copperheads had strver
create The impression that the speakers for the Unios
would not make their appearance. Failing in this u
keep people away they hit upon the expedent OF CON.
hitting arson as means of breaking NJ meeting
The barn Of Capt Hackstaf, war Democrat. and whs
was present as one OF the Presidents, was fired
while the first speech being made, the bells rang
out the ALARM and in short time the spacious hall w
cleared Of the audience. As the assemblage was re-
firing We gave notice would remain until the lire
was put out II il took until Monday morning In ahouf
On hour the hail again filed, and our meeting wsa
all that could be wished. Henceforward Middetovn
will be too hot place for traitors who exhibit teI
species either by giving reasonable aid and comfort to
the enemies OF the country. By burning their neigh
borg homes reward OF $500 was at once offered by
Mayor Warner for the apprehension OF the ncendiary
disciple of yallsudigham to which 500 was added
by George S. Hubbard. esq. This barn bnrning is q
familiar dodge With Copperheads here. A year ago'u
this place when Anna Dickinson lifted up her yoics
against sympathizers with the Rebels, the barn
of Mr. David Allen a Union man, was fired dur

MEXICO.

Our Havana papers received yesterday by the
steamship Columbia from Now-Oreans contain a
large budget of later news items from Mexico.
The dates from the capital are 10 the 10th Of
March, and those from Vera Cruz TO the 18th Of
March. All the news comes through French
sources, and is, therefore, as might be expected,
favorable to the Inperiaiists. We briefly point
out the most important portions of the intelli-
gence.
The report Of the capture OF Gundalajara by
Gen. Uraga is not confirmed. This report,
which reached us from Monterey, via Matamo-
ros, rested on letters said to have been written
at San Luis de PotOsi on the 10Th Of February.
Now il Is announced that letters were received
in Vera Cruz from Guadalajara, dated the 18Th
Of February, and stating that the greatest tran
qullity prevailed in the latter city, and that no
attack from the National army was expected.
Uraga according TO tho latest accounts, had
established his headquarters at Cocula, and his
army had been weakened by the detection of
Arteaga and Rojas.
Gen. de Castagny, on Feb. II, had routed the
division of Gonzales Ortega at COlotlan, in the
State Of Jalisco. Many cheltans of the Ma
tional army are said to have been taken prison
ers in this battle.
The news from Monterey is nOtso late as that
published by us few days ago in letter from
ourspccal correspondent at Matamoros. Ii is re-
ported that Vidaurri had called together aJunta
Of Notables, who had declared in favor of un-
conditional Submission to the French. Vidaurri
had not yet indicated his approval of this propo-
sition, but it was thought that he would only
delay it until he had come TO m understanding
with Mejia. The latter was said to be advancing
in forced marches against DoblGdo who had left
his headquarters at San Gregorio, to meet Mejia.
The Sociedad Of Mexico claims TO have do
tailed accounts Of the strength and position of
the National forces in the State of Oejaca. To-
gether they are said to number $3.50 men.
The City Of Tabasco, the capital Of the State
Of the same name was evacuated BY the lmpe-
riaiists under Gen. Vega, who deemed his small

TIE TAX LEVY BEMONsTRANCE.

| No member of the Legislature will deny tha'
the Taxpayers of this city have a night 10 De
deferentially listened to on the subject oil the
City and County Tax Levy. Yet we ask mem-
hers TO bethink themselves how much voice inc
men who are TO pay the taxes which the Legs
latnre votes, ordinarily have in adjusting Their
character and amount. And if they admit, as
they must, that it is very small, then we ask
them. i'm considering the Tax Leves for this
year. to give heed to the prayer of the Citizens
Association, whereof Peter Cooper is chairman,
Robert u. Roosevelt, secretary, and James
Brown, A. r. Stewart, Edward s. Jaffray,
Washington X. Yermilye, William +. Dodge,
and others, constitute Committee.
We think the suggestions of this memorial
ought to be adopted; we know they ought not
TO be rejected without q patient consideration,
and il is that which We desire the Legislature to
grant them. That We are staggering under
taxes enormously swollen beyond their legit-
ma,o amount, We, and the Legislature, know;
and we have o conviction, which We trust Is
shared in some degree at Albany, that the Leg
i,ature is bound in conscience 10 afford relief.
No perceptibe measure of it will be granted,
except by the closest and most honest scrutiny
into the items included in tho proposed appro-
priation. -,
The causes of the delay in sending forward the
Tax Levy are limited at in tho memorial and
may be openly stated without eyoking denial orr
even Indignation from municipal authority so
corrupt as ours. The estimates were simply
kept back in order TO protect them from exam
nation, and in such circumstances we heartily
agree with the suggestion that " 1t would be
preferable (inconyenient though it might and
would bel TO have no Tax Levy passed, rather
than have continued in it the abuse of legisla-
tive action, which has in some instances, char
actcrised recent years." 70 pass an appropria-
zion Fifteen Millions of Dollars, is TO egalize
gigantic system of plunder.
The more general reforms urged by the Com
mittee are sensible, and will have the effect to
stop good deal OF stealing. The practice OF
transferring appropriations authorized in the
Tax Levy 10 other accounts Is inherently
vicious, and is nothing but a convenient method
of accomplishing and concealing fraud. IL
must be arrested. if any hope Of economyin the
future il entertained. With the same view, the
existing right of the Supervisors to override the
Mayors veto by bare majority ought to be re-
s,ricted. Let US have all possible checks upon
proJigal uses Of public money.
