OUR NEW 70 RK LETTER
Especial Correspondence of the Republican

trra 2 NEW YORK, November 2, lsGs.
We are upon the eve Of one Of the most
exciting elections which has been held in
this State and city, for many years past
and as consequence the feeling of par
tisans, on both sides, is becoming. intensi-
fed, until the final result is ascertained and
announced. The startling election or
IA uralization certificate frauds have
aroused'a feeling oote indiaaNtion on the
part of the respectable Democracy Of this
city against Interpretations Of these frauds,
which will be calculated TO change many
votes in favor Of Grant and Colfax, which
h 'rwise would have been given to Sey-
mOur and Blair. r.
1t is most positively ascertained that Of
the 10000 names registered as voters in
this city, there are from 1000 to 10000
fraudulent. This fraudulent registration
has been made in the SO called Democratic
wards of this city. Mayor Hoffman has
issued a proclamation against the action OF
the United States Courts in reference to
these frauds, which many of the citizens of
this city believe will result 10 collision
tomorrow, and consequently a riot may
occur. Governor Feuton is now here, and
it is hoped his presence will have a ten-
dency 10 prevent any outbreak, but should
it occur the Governor is fully ready to meet
any emergency. ...r.57 .
A serious difficulty has occurred between
John a. Kennedy, the Superintendent Of
Police, and one half of the members of the
Police Board; and, as a consequence, it is
said the police force has become demoral-
lied. 1t is believed that by tomorrow the
whole matter may be arranged, so that the
peace Of the city may not be endangered by
reason of the disaffection of any of the
police force. a~
1t is understood that the Grand Jury of
the United States Circuit Court have in
dieted, among others, a Supreme Court
Judge and Clerk of one Of the courts of |
this city, for participation inthese naturali-
alton certificate frauds, andsth number
OF prominent Democratic officials in this city |
are on the road for trial in the United |
States Court upon similar charges. One
thing is certain, that the Democratic poll |
tlclans are very much frightened at the |
before them, and the Republicans
now consider that this State will be carried |
for Grant Colfax, and Griswold by at least
10000 majority, and perhaps more. By
lhe time this letter reaches you feel salts
led that the news will have been
,elegraphed to all parts of the
'ountry that the great glorious
Ind noble leader of our armiesin the late
var, General Grant, has been overwheln-
ngly elected President of the United
states for the term of four years from the
ourth of March, 1869, during which term
'r period at least we may expect a re-
llization of his noble sentiment, "Let MS
rave peace" "a consummation doubtless to
'e wished especially in Louisiana, if we
nay believe the reports which come from
hat State of the condnct of some of it,
nreconstTucted citizens. -
