THE ELECTION.

The election yesterday passed off quietly;
SO quietly, indeed, that a stranger would not
have supposed that the white population OF
this great city were looking on at the boldest,
most fragrant attempt to vitiate the purity OF
the bsllot-box that ever was perpetrated in
this country. AT the time of writing we have
no means of judging of the result of the vot-
ing in this city, though we hope that, in spite
of the enormous frauds perpetrated by the
vagrant and mendicant carpet-baggers, the
Democratic ticket has been generally sue
cessful We presume that above 10000 votes
have been polled-but even this is a mere es-
timate-and we believe that there is decided
majority against the Black Crook Constitu-
ton.
From the country our returns, Of course,
are as yet very meager; but we are not with.
out hope that our friends throughout the
State have exerted themselves to some effect.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-04-19
RADICAL TRICKS.

The carpet-baggers worked yesterday with
a zeal worthy of better cause, in the dupli-
cation, Implication, and quadruplication of
certificates and afiidavits. To refer in detail
to tenth part of what they did or attempted
in this way would exhaust our reading columns.
One or two "specimen bricks" of which we
have had ocular proof, will suffice to ex-
hibit the nature and quality of their work.
DIR. Jack" is the name of an ancient, and,
apparently, an innocent darby from the coun-
try. He was an item among a large invoice of
such chattels imported by carpet-bag express
for simplex, duplex, multiplex voting pur-
poses. DR.. Jack can't write. DR.. Jack made
his mark, as directed, before Justice of the
Peace Clifford, in the character of afiant under
oath to the effect that he had lost his registra-
ton certificate and lived at No. 104 Phillip
street. This was on the 18th. 1t
somehow happened that Dr. Jack
failed to vote on that day, as it
was intended he should. Nevertheless, he
was again taken before Justice Clifford and
subscribed his mark, as directed, at the bot
tom of another affidavit; and this time he was
made to swear that he lived at No. 216 Dry
AIDES street. He then proceeded to vote &C
cording to Observation-Disclosures given in
ignorance that he had not already voted on
his first affidavit. Hence it came about that
ancient and innocent, or innocent-looking,
Dr. Jack presented both papers to the CON-
missioner along with his ballot. When asked
what he meant by two afidavits swearing to
two residences, the old man answered that he
"hadnt done nothing but what the gemman
told him to dol"
The carpet baggers-facetious fellowsl-
are very fond of ascribing Hibernian pedi-
gree to spurious voters of genuine African
descent. O'Neil and Mcbride figured hume
rously on fraudulent papers yesterday and
the day before. We saw the original of
certificate held by true O'Neil, who found,
when presenting it. that fac smile Of it had
previously been presented and voted on. He
was astonished so was the commissioner
He voted but that did not remedy the
fraud.
