We would remind judges and clerks of

indicate the result in each ward and town.

that the MCCLELLAN vote and the LINCOLN
vote may be known in each case. Let the
entire rate for each candidate be given; not
simply the majority. See that this is attend
ed to in every township and in every ward.
Bring in the returns at the earliest possible
moment. The result can be ascertained at
each voting place in few minutes after
the close of the polls if the judges are at all
to do the handsome thing. The
ballots and the LINCOLN bal
lots in each ballot-box can easily be counted
in half an hour, or less time than that. The
work of "tallying" on the Electors will, of
course, have to be done afterwards. Let us
have the returns just as early as possible.

The Administration Election
Frauds.

Ignoring for moment the manifest fact
thlt the alleged discovery of frauds in the
New York soldiers election was gigantic
and audacious scheme of the Administra-
tion to disfranchise the MCCLELLAN soldiers
in the Potomac army, there are other fea-
lures of the affair equally atDcious and
criminal. The trial of the authors of the
alleged frauds by Military Commission in
Baltimore or Washington, is an outrage
without parallel in any administration
but that of LINCOLN. The New York
soldiers voting law explicitly provides the
punishment for any agent or other person
guilty of fraudulent voting under it. Its
provisions carefully guard againstjust such
frauds and forgeries as are alleged to have
been perpetrated. A person charged with
offenses under that law is to be tried un-
der it, and in the courts of the State of
New York. But in this case, because it
concerned the political and personal inter-
ests of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, he appointed a
" Military Commission" to investigate the
matter. This Military Commission is the
Judge Of its own powers; it is gov
erned by no code, regulated by no rule
Itof course decides that it has Jurisdiction,
when the whole theory of legal justice, the
Oldest rules of courts, the facts. the laws,
the Constitution of the United States ITSELF
show conclusively that they have no juris-
diction. 1t is an insult to common sense, an
outrage upon common intelligence, to
pretend that this military commission acts
upon any other authority than the arbitrary
will and absolute power of an individual,
who has no more right to grant such author
ity than the humblest citizen. This COM
mission acts under the law of Judge Lynch,
and no other. Its rulings are a mockery of
Justice; its decisions are not worthy of the
respect of negro. If suffered to pass un-
challenged, New York is no longer State
it becomes a province-and that SOW
ereign and imperial State may disband her
legislature, abolish her courts, and burn
her archives. In view of the mighty ex-
citement in that State in regard to these
outrages, and in view of the speedy and in
dignant verdict to be rendered upon them
by the people at the polls-to maintain
the peace and exhaust the last Constitu-
tional remedy for such 'crimes-Gov. SEY-
MouR may consent to waive the considera-
tion of this question for the moment but
the time is at hand when it must be met.
He holds the remedy in his hands for the
correction or punishment of these astound-
ing crimes of the Administration, COM
mitted upon the State and people Of New
York. That remedy is-reprisal.

More Administration Tyranny
Another Soldier Murdered.
[From The Harrisburg Patrlot and Union

From The Harrisburg Patriot ana Union
Samuel j. Bricker, the son-in-law of Mr..
Kaepply, who lives on Mulberry street
near second, was O member of the 20lst
regiment from this place, but on account of
sickness was unable to perform duty, and
was brought home sick and attended by
physicians, who declared that he was not
fit to leave his bed. A few days ago,
guard was sent from Camp Curtin to the
house, to demand the body of Bricker as q
deserter. The women plead in vain, and
the physicians demonstrated in vain that
he as too sick to leave his bed. He was
taken from that sick bed ard held up till
his clothes were put on, and then he was
taken to Camp Curtin. He lived but few
days. His wife, beautiful, young and
amiable lady, who was in such condition as
to render her aid useless, received mes
sage from Camp Curtin that her husband
was dying. Before she could reach the
scene of this melancholy tragedy his light
had gone out and his spirit had gone to n
just God to ask for an acquittal where JUS
tice still reigns.
The corps is now at home. He might
have still been living, and he might have
survived the trials of disease, but the cru
elites of this Administration were too much
for him, and the poor brave, patriotic SOL
dier died in the hands of his tormentors.
Freemen, how long will you suffer this
curse to sunder every tie of sympathy and
affection? Goto the polls, we implore you,
and vote for your freedom and mine, your
rights and mine. God forbid that such
tyranny should triumph in tree land!

morrow will render certain four years more
of war; four years more of war will render
financial ruin inevitable; financial ruin will
involve the impoverishment of the people
and the disbanding of the army; the disso-
luton of the army will make it impossible
to either conquer or conciliate the South /;
and the independence of the rebel Confede-

why Richmond was not Assaulted

Why Richmond was not Assaulted.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, speaking of the recent cleo
tioneering advance against Richmond, says:
Gen. Grant wished an assault to be made,
however, by the corps of Hancock and War
rem on the right of the enemy's line, near the
point where the Boynton plank road crosses
Hatcher's run, in order that, by carrying
the Confederate works there, he might
strike the Lynchburg railroad at point
about twelve miles west of Petersburg
sStill harping on my daughter" He still
bankers after Lynchburg and the Lynch
burg railroad. General Hancock and Gen.
erai Warren, however, who understand per-
fectly the nature of such an undertaking,
gave General Meade to understand that,
while they were willing to lead their men
to an assault where there was the least
prospect of success, they would not send
| their sOldiers-men who trusted in them
implicitly-to certain death, where no re-
suits could possibly be achieved. General
Meade sustained his corps commanders, and
the result was that Grant was obliged to
order Hancock's corps to fall back, as stated
above. Grants thirst for blood, however,
had already cost Hancock the lives Of three
hundred of his men. 1t was the least that
General Meade could do to say in his report
that whatever measure of success had at
tended the movement was due to the per-
sonal gallantry of General Hancock and
Brioadier General Egan. That is true
Those noble men-two of the finest officers
OF the old Army of the Potomac-Generals
who have been baptized with the blood of
every battle from Williamsburg to Peters

they would not lead them. They did lead

EVERY man in Ohio who has enjoyed the
prosperity, the peace and liberty which, un-
der the Democratic administration of the
Government, were enjoyed by every citizen
Of this Republic, should regard it as his
paramount duty to labor, earnestly and un-
weariedly, to-day and tomorrow, to hurl
from power the wicked and corrupt Ad-
ministration under whose auspices all those
blessings have been traded for the curses of
war, bloodshed and despotism. This is the
last chance we shall have for years to make
this country what it was-a Republic. If
this chanceis thrown away or neglected,

country only worthy of the despotism

We Can Carry Ohio.

The gallant and glorious Democracy Of
Ohio gained more than FORTY THOUSAND
at the late election. Only TwENTY-ONE
THOUSAND remain to be overcome to-mor-
row. An average gain of TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY in each county will give us the
State. By proper exertion to-day and to-
morrow, you can make an average gain Of
over FIVE HUNDRED in each county, thus
insuring the electoral vote Of Ohio to GEo.
B. MCCLELLAN and GEo. III. PENDLEToN-
Our national candidates are far stronger
than our local tickets were, while LINCOLN
and JOHNSON are far weaker than were the
local Abolition tickets. We have the most
encouraging assurances from all parts Of
the State; immense Democratic gains are
everywhere promised by prominent and
influential members of our party who
have never yet been deceived as to political
prospects. The indications all point to GER
tain success. The New York soldiers have
already voted and have given large major
fly for MCCLELLAN. In spite of fraud and
violence, the soldiers of other States will
do the same thing, and will swell the ma
jority on the home vote. From all parts Of
the country come glad tidings of Demo-
cratic success. The great States Of New
York and Pennsylvania are certain for Nc
CLELLAS; let not Ohio be found wanting.
Enough Democrats were away from the
polls in Ohio at the late election to have
carried the State on the home vote even
then. This reserve vote will be out to-
morrow, and it must give us the State. Be
OF good cheer, and work vigorously and
effectively during the few hours that re-
main In which work may BE- done.
