COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,


PHILADELPHIA, October 10, 1868
SlR-Your letter of day is before mo- BY lit you
request "to advise to the relative functions
of the Mayor and tie Sheriff in the exercise of police
powers at the various election precincts in Philade
phia You also inform me by the same note that you
boeve Sheriff Lyle has organized force of deputies
to attend at the ensuing elections end exercise police
powers at the various election precincts in Phadel
phia" The subject has been examined by me, and /
of the opinion that to you, Mayer of the city is
conded by law the exclusive police powers within its
corporate limits. by the Consolidation, acts, and sup
plements thereto, the Legislature has giYen City
Councils unlimited power over all matters connected
with police within it's local jurisdiction This
tended to supersede all other authority that
ject-to prevent conflict between different officials
and to concentrate in hand, subject to general
supervising authority the force necessary to be created
am of the opinion that Sheriff Lyle has authority
to organize force of deputies to attend at the ensuing
election, and exercise police powers at the various
election precincts. Whatever power he may possess,
and that remains to him after the acts of the Legs-
lature upon the subject, it is law power and
that is by the acts of Consolidation made subordinate
to your superior and exclusive authority The Sheriff
has right at law to anticipate public disturbance
merely because election is about to be held and
under such preext days in advance of the event. to
appoint special deputies to interfere,
in independent way, with subject which is confded
to you exclusively The Councils of the city have given
you the command of fixed force; in addition to which,
by resolution dated October Sd, 1861 they have "in
structed and empowered you to appoint such number
of extra policemen, to act the day of the election,
purpose preserving the peace and keeping the
election polls clear of disturbance as you may in
Judgment, deem necessary" This power and instruction
you exercise and obey and interference with
you your policemen appointed in the discharge of
their duties by Sheriff or deputy, would be viola
tion Of law that would subject them to punishment In
the presence of the police of the city of Philadelphia
both the duty and power of the Sheriff his deputies,
for such puI poses, are suspended.

There is flavor of the sublime in the un-
blushing infamy of this article, which almost
excites a feeling of admiration. "IHs ONLY
wdy to cover an opposing party wih the shame of
defeat is to VOTE AS Frequently AGAINST 1T AS
PossrBIBl" Here is your true Democratic
doctrine in savory nutshell. There is no
quibbling, no hesitation, no equivocation. "Lf

deserves frequent exercise it is possible to give
it on the days Of test!"
Our readers must rest assured that this
damnable advice will be followed by hundreds,
perhaps by thousands, of ignorant men who

SnOwden as a Judge.

Mr.. SHARswooD, in his able Democratic
campaign document, asserts that, "upon
taking his seat in the Court of Nisi Prius, he
tice had been to refer the examination Of the
papers in all cases (of naturalization) to the
Prothonotary, with directions, however, that
If any doubt or question arose in his mind in
any, to report it for the opinion of the Judge"
But, says another member of the same Court,
1--WE all three Judges Read, Agnew, and Will
liams) regard the practice of naturalization
pursued in the Nisi Prius however old, or by
whatever judges sanctioned, as contrary to
the plain words Of the acts of Congress, and as
therefore Illegal" Granting that the system
pursued by Mr.. Sharswood is legal,
the opinion of the majority Of the
Court to the contrary notwithstanding, how
did Colonel Snowden, the Prothonotary, dis
charge the high judicial trust delegated to
him by the Court We have been present
when the Prothonotary was affxing his sigma
ture to certificates of naturalization at the rate
of 720 per day-less than t,centy.f .fve seconds
being devoted to the "eramination" and signing Of
each set of papers. We have also been
present when prominent Uemocratlc
politician, Samuel Carson by name, in no
way connected with the Court, forced his way
through the barriers surrounding the space in
front of the Judge and Prothonotary, and
rushing up to the latter, placed on his desk
naturalization certificate, which was promptly
signed, without a glance at its contents ! 1t
is upon neatly 1000 papers obtained in this
criminal manner that the Democracy of Phila
delphia relies for success tomorrow. Will
the judges of election lend themselves to the
consummation of such an outrage upon the
rights of honest citizens Will deluded
foreigners, who have been inveigled by the
Democratic Naturalization Committee into be-
coming parties to these fraudulent and illegal
proceedings, run the risk of perpetual dis
franchisement by attempting to vote ?
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-10-12
The Reason why.

Mn. SHARswooD, in endeavoring to reward
the Democratic party for raising him from the
bench OF the District to that Of the Supreme
Court, states that Gin the case Of those who
apply (for naturalization) on the ground of
having arrived in the country under the age
of eighteen-as they are required to produce
no papers-there is nothing to examine"
This, manifestly, was the reason why nearly
every one of the 1000 petitions for naturaliza-
tion fled in his Court during the past month
were made out in the form known as "minors'
papers," Over $500 of these documents have
been examined by our reporters, and this was
found to be the case. The Democratic Natu-
ralization Committee were aware of the senti-
ments Of their tool upon the bench, and
kindly relieved him of all anxiety by pro-
viding their victims with documents which
would exempt them from the ordeal
OF undergoing an examination by the judge.
Besides lesseping the chances of detecting per-
jury, 1t facilitated the business, and rapidity,
next to perjury, was the one thing needful.
And now, if the ballots of these 1000 tipstave
citizens are to be received tom srrow, the only
way in which they can be counteracted is for
every honest voter to 60 to the polls. In 1864
nearly 1000 Republican voters, who remained
at home last October, performed their duty.
There are at least as many more who habisu
ally neglect to exercise the most precious privi
lege of their citizenship. The call for help
which we now address to them is as
imperative as was that which aroused
the nation in 1861. Let every honest voter
let every lover of his country, let every ad
vooate OF justice to an oppressed race, let
every admirer of gallant deeds upon the field
of battle, let every citizen who desires the
restoration Of perfect peace and undisturbed
prosperity throughout the length and breadth
of the land, let every man who is unwilling
to disgrace his manhood, go to the polls to-
morrow Let him go early in the day, and
vote as soon as possible; and then let him
hunt up his lukewarm neighbors, and inspire
them with q zeal and interest which shall
equal his own. In this way the gross frauds
countenanced by Democratic judges can be
oounteracted, and the loyal ticket elected by
five thousand majority.
