The DOdd Case.

The Indianapolis Journal in speaking
of the escape of Dodd, says:
We understand that the Commission
will probably proceed to decide the case
in the absence of the prisoner. This
should be done.
Certainly; that will be as proper as any
of the proceedings Of the case. It is only
Courts ofjustice that require the presence
of persons whom they try. In mock trials
before mock tribunal, like this one at
Indianapolis, it is not essential that it's
victim should hear the evidence. 1t was
picked out by the accuser Of Dodd to con-
Wet him, and no such little obstacle as his
absence ought to deter them from the full
6llment of their intention. We would
suggest to the Journal, that hereafter
when citizens are kidnapped and brought
before such tribunals, that the whole pro-
ccedings be conducted in secret and that
the victims have no intimation Of them
until all is ready for their execution
Then they would not be as likely to escape.
Such conduct would not add shade Of
blackness to the original villany.- Gin.

We envy not those who have taken the
responsibility of being leaders in the
effort to force Lincoln upon the country
for another term, if, unfortunately, such a
scourge as his success should be visited
upon the land. His first election opened
one Of Pandora's boxes of evils. His
second would be followed by tho opening
of another box infinitely worse. II
contains civil war, indefinitely prolonged
and aggravated, together with national
bankruptcy. beggary, ruin and starvation.
The impending crash would not long be
delayed after his reelection, and when it
came how bitterly would the people feel
toward the authors Of their miseri:s and
ealamities How they would reproaeh
them for their deception and false couusels
Then they will see and feel the heavy
responsibility they have incurred before
God and man IN bringing about continue
ton of this dreadful reign.--1, Cincinnati

It Is now we'll known that business cor
respondsnce, whether by mail or telegraph,
between this Province and the United
States, is open to the inspection Of feder-
al spies, and that all secrecy or business
security is at an end. Spies are in the
telegraph Offices, post Offices and hotols,
spies swarm every where at the other side
Of the lines. Letters to Halifax gentle
nan, stopping at hotel in Boston, have
Oeen opened by aspy stationed in that es-
Enlistment for thataA similar purposes.
A telegram from Canada to merchant
In this city short time ago, was sent on
to W ashiBgton and published in the pa
pers there, before it was delivered to its
owner here And it is known that bust
ness messages sent to business men in the
States have been treated in way quite as
bad. 1t will be not only very humilia-
ting thing, but very di,graeefsl and
disastrous thing to boot, if the authorities
permit this interference with business cor
respondence to be continued. What has
become Of the oath ofsecrecy in the tele.
graph Office? And what has become of
the shareholders of the Nova Scotia Tele-
graph Company? If they have no power
to protect the interests Of merchants in
trusting important business dispatches to
their lines. and cannot guarantee the safe
and secret transmission of such correspond
ence, then it is time the public was made
aware of the fact.-Halifax Citizen.

For the Sentinel
Tho State W.. the Presidential
ElcCfiON

The State election is over. and however
disastrously it may have resulted to our
cause, it should incite every Democrat
to renewed exertions for the success of
Mcclellan in November. Local causes
contributed largely to our defeat, which
will have no bearing upon the Presidential
canvass. Arbitrary and uujustifablc ar
rests of prominent Democrats whose influ-
ence was feared by our desperate oppo-
nents; the violence perpetrated at previous
elections upon unofending Democrats; the
military terrorism which exists in certain
parts of the State; the stigma cast upon
the Democracy by the alleged reasonable
organization known as the Sons of Llber-
ty; have had the effect intended, and in
hucnced many conservative men who 9th
erwisc would have cast their votes on the
side of truth and justice. But even these
were not sufficient, as the unblushing
frauds and Wholesale perjury perpetrated
in this city so plainly testifies. Think Of
a vote of 1O, 900 in population of so 900
The relative proportion of voters to the
population, according to the last CENSUS,
is an average of one to eight; but the over
reaching villainies Of the abolitionists have
made it one to three Is ther no remedy
for these outrageous frauds? If the peo-
pie will t,.us submit TO be swindied out OF
their dearest rights, they are no longer
worthy the name OF :reeren Rally then.
once more. under the glorious banner OF
the old Union in November, ard let the
ballot speak in trumpet tones of tie r'udl'
cation of the people from the despotic
sway Of our tyrannical oppressors. Elect
George B. Mcclellan and restore the puri-
ty of elections, the inviolability Of human
rights, the freedom { press an individuals
and lastly but not least, the integrity and
individuality of the Union.

Vallandigham introduced in Congress a
series of resolutions which may be found
in full in the Congressional Globe, Art.
l I'd Session, 37th Congress, page 10.
One of the resolutions was as follows:
Resolved, That if any person in the
civil or military service of the United
States shall propose terms of peace, or ac-
cept. or advise the acceptance of any such
terms, on any other basis than the integri-
ty and entirety of the Federal Union, and
of the several States comprising t. same,
and the Territories of the Union as at the
beginning Of the civil war, he shall be

The Board Of Enrolment.

Much has been said. as to the results Of
the examinations of drafted men, from this
as we'll as other localities Many have
been excused or rejected for reasons not
apparent to the pnblic, while some have
been accepted contrary to the expecta-
tons OF that same public. II
would be strange indeed were it
otherwise We are assured by numbers
fthose who have had occasion to visit
Camp at Headquarters, that the men COM
posing the board are gentlemen in every
particular, and that the examinations are
conducted with the utmost fairness. An
Their thing worthy of note in connection
with the matter. IL the ineXhaustable
fund of patience exhibited by members OF
the board, under the pressure of annoyan-
ces, incident to their position. Every
man can get a courteous answer to ques-
tons asked, although they may have been
answered hundred times to others be-
fore, and every thing is done for the COM
fort and satisfaction of the men that is in
the power Of the board under the
circumstances surrounding them. We
take pleasure in making the above state
ments, and thus doing an act of justice to
high minded and honorable men. In
these times of political fanaticism, such a
course was not anticipated by many who
were unacquainted with the gen tlemen
composing the board of enrolment.

The returns of the recent election in

exchanges received up to yesterday, VIC
have but few official returns. In the scat
tered and uncertain condition of the re-
turns, there is no chance to form IN esti-
mate Of the probable majority Of the Re-
publican ticket, but it is evident that it
will not be as large as was estimated. To
obtain this majority the most outrageous
frauds were perpetrated in different parts
of the State. A complete and systematic
system was adopted for voting illegally,
and for taking Democratic votes out of the
ballot box and putting in Republican
votes In this township tae Republican
majority is 2,274 larger this year thanth
entire vote was two years ago. In order
to show the immense frauds, We give the
