that the statements here given were pub

political prospects:

An lmpudsnt FaIsshood.

We find in the Tribune of yesterday, a
Democratic for Republican votes in the
baIlois sent home from the army.
In Greely's own words:
The charges are in brief, substituting
"NcClellanD for .Lincolnp votes in the
original envelopes submitted by the SOL
diers: and in forging rames thereto.
II is added that Holt is investigating the
matter, that whole boxes ct votes have
been seized, aud that the Government" is
bust making arrests. These last state
menis are doubtless une, but, as for the
charges themselves, we hsvs no hesitation
in prcEourcing them bdsely and wiyudy
false.
The whOs Thing is an artyfcs 10 dsiaud the
army Of lis uofs dad d downright he iaoeat
et TO effrct the approaching election. The mil
itary and all other post offices are entirely
under the control OF The Abolitionis,s, the
mails pass through their hands alone, aud
if letters have been iampered with, il has
been by their own wicked agents. That
they have been tempered with, scandaIoas-
ly, we happen 10 know. An officer of the
highest character, now on General Grants
staff, not expecting 10 be at home on the

ios ether unexpectedly, that he obtained a

his proxy and put in his own vote. On
opening The envelope, he found an Abo,ition

hs had himself placed there, and sealed up
We vouch for these facts. The officers
name, which. we csnBo: publish without
his consent, is one Of the most distinguish

such as to place any statement of his be-
You'd question. II he proxies of officers
we're thus Iampered with, we can fancy
how the envelopes Of privaies were manip-
uIaied TO suit the purposes of the wrelches
who had the care of them in The mails.
We shall notice this matter more fully 10

scheme, from all we can gather about it,
as giving promise Of The most monsrrons
