ILLEGAL VorEs AT THE LAST ELECTION
The grand jury are now engaged In examin-
ing witnesses In regard to the alleged Illegal
voting at the last election. The examina-
tlon was at first confined to the voting OF
soldiers in the Fifth ward, but statements
made by some Of the witnesses have induced
wider range Of inquiry, and gentlemen
have been summoned as witnesses from
nearly every locality In the city, and some
startling developments are being made. The
illegal voting is charged against both parties,
and opens up field Of great magnitude to
the Investigations of the grand jury, who In
tend, If possible, to find a true bill against
all who have violated the law in this respect.

The New York Tribune, in noting the
fact that the great Radical. Abolition
leader, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, is for abol-
ishipg customs and opening the country
to free trade, says: "In fact good
many Of the Massachusetts Abolitionis,s
would like to abolish pretty nearly every
thing, from Christianity downward"
That is somewhat their way, but it de-
pends much on what New England ideas
will be interfered with as to the direction
the abolition mania of the Puritan saints
will take. Garrison & Co. insist on not
abolishing the public debt except BY its
full payment 10 gold. Nor are they for
abolishing the odiOus distinction between
capital invested in bonds and capital in
vested in anything else, by which the
former is exempt from the payment Of ell
State, county and municipal taxes, which
the latter has to pay. Abolition Of such
exclusive privileges is not 10 the line Of
