Illegal Voting. A
Previous to the election We published
a list Of deserters and non reporters found
on the rolls in the Provost Marshall's s
Office, of this district, accompanied by an
Act of Congress, declaring all such, dis
qualified from being citizens Of the Uni
led States, &c. We called upon election
officers 70 refuse these if any should
offer The readers of the Herald, how
ever, were Informed that it was the right
Of all such to vote, and were instructed
to disregard the Act Of Congress in the
premises. The result was, that in most
Of the Democratic townships, deserters
and non reporters did vote. We have
heard of them voting in Winfield, Clear
field, Oakland, Yenango. Marion and
Mercer Perhaps they did even in 9TH
ers. Soon after the election, we we're
spoken to in reference to this matter
The loyal people Of these districts feel
much grieved to think that those who
failed in the hour Of trouble should now
be allowed to vote down the loyal people
of these districts. Some seem to think
that, as these votes we're powerless for
mischief, we had as, well let the matter
pass. We are not Of this number. The
constitutionality of the law of Congress
is doubted, it would seem, by some. This
fact should be an argument in favor Of
having it settled by the Courts
We feel confident that the majority Of
the election officers who, in violation of both
their oaths and duty, received these iie-
gal votes had no legal conviction on the
subject, only doing the bidding of their
matters. Nor had they any right to have
any, Their duty as officers, was to obey
the law 1t would then be the privilege
of citizens feeling themselves agrieved to
have carried the matter up to the Courts
and tested the validity of the law. We
have not yet had leisure to give the legal
questions involved thorough examina-
tion, but we mean to urge upon the pre-
fessions the imperative necessity of hav-
ing it disposed of at once. If it is to be
disposed of under act of Congress it is
likely it would have to be taken to Pitts
burgh--to the United States Court, un.
less there is a provision in the law, giving
state courts jurisdiction. Our present
impression is that it can all be disposed
Of under state law We don't believe
that the persons mentioned in the act re-
ferred to, are "freemen" in the eontem-
plation of the constitution. That these
men, not only should, but must be pre-
vented from exercising the right of citi-
zens here or even holding. property in our
State, all loyal men seem to agree.
Letus take some pFoasiseut case there
| fore, and test it, and if our laws are not
| already stringent enough, We can have
them amended. In selecting proper
subject, we have no choice, but would
suggest that the most intelligent culprit
is certainly the most guilty-sinnina
against light and knowledge. TO fil
this d, scription proper subject could be
found not far from the ceutre. This
matter will soon take shape. In the
meantime, let our friends feel easy, thc
guilty must be punished.

Democratic Sentiment !

at a Democratic meeting held in the

few evenings since, where number Of
the leading men of the party participated
JAS q. Gerard, in the course of his re-

We can easily understand how such
sentiments can be uttered with freedom,
and even appreciation in such a strong
hold of Democracy as New York, but in
no place less Democratic could such SEN
timents be attended with impunity in tho
latter part of the nineteenth century,
Perhaps not even in Spain. But such
sentiments are well adapted to a locality
where Orphans Asylums and Union sol
