among the soldier, at which Capt. Webb made
speech for Lincoln, in which he appealed to
opinions, interest, or any other thing that he
thought could influence the soldiers to 90
straight for Lincoln. After the Captain got
through, Lieut.. Colonel Ball was called out,
and he sensibly told the men that he believed
them capable of making their own choice be.
tween the candidates, and advised them to do
it without regard to anything else but their
own belief as to what the best interests of the
country required. At the close of this
meeting, three cheers for Lincoln were
asked, and the response was feeble In
deed, but on call for three cheers for
Mcclellan the boys made the air ring with the
grand shouting that our soldiers always raise
where their hearts are in the cause for which
they cheer.
So, during the day yesterday all the enthusi-
asm and the good feeling was among the Nc
Clellan men, Those who supported Lincoln
seemed to act as if they were performing
something disagreeable, which they had rather
not do, while the Mcclellan votes were given
by men who felt proud Of their gallant candi-
date.

Fremont and Lincoln.

This is not an ordinary election. 1t is con-
test for the right even to have candidates and
not merely, as usual, for the choice among
them. Now for the first time since 76, the
question of constitutional liberty has been
brought directly before the people for their Sc
nous consideration and vote. The ordinary
rights secured under the Constitution and the
laws of the country have been violated, and ex-
traordinary powers have been usurped by the
Executive. 1t is directly before the people
now to say whether or not the principles es-
tablished by the Revolution are worth main
tanning.
If, as we have been taught to believe, those
guarantees for liberty which made the distinc-
tive value and glory of our country, are in truth
inviolably sacred, then there must be pro-
test against the arbitrary violation which had
not even the excuse of necessity. The schism
is made by those who force the choice between
shameful silence or q protest against Drong. In
such considerations orinigated the Cleve-
land Convention. It was among its aspects to
arouse the attention of the people to such
facts and to bring them to realize that while
blood of the country In the name of liberty, we
have really parted with it at home
To-day we have in the country the abuse OF
military dictation, without its unity of action
and yigor of execution. An Administration
marked at home by disregard of constitutional
rights, by its violations of personal liberty and
the liberty of the press, and as a browning
shame, by its abandonment of the right Of
asylum, q right especially dear to all free ma.
lions abroad. Its course has been character.
lied by feebleness and want Of principle which
has mfsied European powers and driven them
to belief that only commercial interests and
personal aims are concerned, and that no great
principles are involved in the issue.
Does anybody suppose that fremont
will break down in favor CT LINCOLN after
such an enunciation of principles?
FREMONT and the radicals are commit
ted irrevocably against LINCOLN. They
are prosecuting war to the knife. They
do not ask or give quarter. Neither d.

ELECTION DAY AT THE FoRr.-Friday
was an interesting day for part of the soldiers
at the Fort, from the fact that they enjoyed in
advance of civilians the privilege Of voting
their choice for national and local officers.
Their votes not being canvassed until Novem-
Der. any statement of the result would be not
much more reliable than guess work, but we
have the authority of an observant gentleman,
largely acquainted with the men, who was
present yesterday at the Fort, advocating the
success of the Republican ticket and he states
that the Eleventh Regiment was about tie,
"a between Mcclellan and Lincoln. Two COM
panies were very strongly Republican; two 9th
ers were equally strong flor Mcclellan. Seven
hundred votes were cast by the Eleventh Regi-
ment. The other soldiers at the Fort are to
vote to-day. Messrs. Warner and Porter,
Commissioners for the Potomac District, re-
ceived the votes.
We are informed by other parties that in 9
very few instances officers Of companies un.
justifably interfered with the voting privilege
of their men by using all the influence of theil
positions to induce or force the men to vott
according to the preference of the officers. II
gratifying contrast to such conduct was the &C
ton of Capt. Buck, Republican, and Lieut.
Moulton, Democrat and other officers, WHIT
encouraged their men to free and unbiasef
vote, by rendering them tickets of both kind
to choose from.

WOOD INSPECTOR time is now
approaching for people to lay in their winter
supply of fuel; and this reminds US of the
many grievous complaints heard for some
years past, of the short measure of the wood
to which many of our people have been oblig-
ed to submit. Our City Council have never
yet fallen upon system to meet these evils
efectually. True, we have wood measurers,
but so far as we have learned, they are confn.
ed almost exclusively to street work. Wag
ons from the country are met, and required
to have their wood measured and take card,
showing just how many feet of wood they
have. But perhaps more than half the wood
consumed is purchased of wood merchants in
the city; and these are not required to have
their wood measured at all. They engage to
deliver so many cords. It is delivered. TIL
purchaser thinks it short, and measures it
when he lindsay nine cords, when he ought
to have ten. He goes back and complains
The vender declares he knows nothing about
it. The teamster is called up, and he roundly
asserts that it was full measure. The poor man
asks for an inspector to measure his wood, but
he says he can take no action where there is
already disagreement between the two par
ties. Thus the matter drops.
If this evil cannot be abated, there is going
to be grievous injustice done to many of our
poor people this year, when fuel is unusually
high. The poorer classes are the ones who
will suffer most, as they ore the least capable
of obtaining redress. or the correction of err
r0rs.
Not only has the.e been complaint about the
quantity of wood, but the quality. Some have
paid for lot of hard wood, and it has come in
more than half soft This. too, should be cor
rected.
Now why not deal with the city wood mer-
chants just as with the country wagoners !?
Why not absolutely require that every load of
wood shall be measured, either on the wagon,
or in pile, when it is delivered, and certificate
given of the quantity and quality of wood de-
livered. Let the Inspector be instructed, also,
to observe the length of wood. We have OBJ
| served that while all is presumed to be four
| feet long, a great deal is but three. Let the
card, also, indicate the quality of each lot,
using 1, if you please for first class hard wood;
2 for mixed; for more mixed, &C., so that
every purchaser can know whether he has got
just what he bought. To inspect in the yard
is no remedy for the evil; as a teamster can
easily pick out the hard wood for one custom
er, and the soft for !another. One of the OBJ
jects OF government is to see that justice is
done to all classes of people, and as wood is g
chief commodity in life among us, there is nc
reason why we should not require every foot
of our wood to be inspected and measured.
