Monday, the radical ticket was carrie
by vote the highest only 1870
Louisville, in an exciting election
polls fewer votes than she did ten o,
fifteen years ago. For some Years
not long since, one side was sup.
pressed by clubs and brass knuclis.
Since that time, new era has ar
rived, and now military orders and
bayonets are brought to bear to dimi-
nlsh the vote of the city. Two years
ago, the same means we're employed,
and with a similar result A law OF
Congress was passed to prevent such
occurrences; but soldiers were placed
near the polls, under the pretext of
keeping the peace, when there was
no disturbance apprehended. These
| times arrests are made upon secret
| information, and the citizen confined
at discretion, and there is 10 redress.
Any one is, therefore, liable to arrest,
and Il number were arrested Monday
for voting wrong. At least, no other
charge was Known Arrests We're
