BROOKLYN ELECTION FRAUDS.

81 KY Indictments Against Officials in the
Brooklyn Departments for Alleged
Election Frauds-Nearly AL the
Implicated Parties Arrested
Their Names and Other
Particulars.

Brooklyn was rather excited yesterday, at least
TIC politicians who make their living out Of Brook
iJn excited, which to all intents and purposes
amounts to the same thing as far as the POLITICIANS
are concerned. The cause OF the excitement was
lhe completion OF the labors OF the Grand Jury
which had been during the past month busily en-
gagged in investigating the frauds committed al the
late election and about which such virtuous hub
hub has been made In the newspapers. The intel
agence that jury would make their report at the
opening OF the Court OF oyer and Terminer was
.bruited about the streets early hour, and the
natural consequence was packed audience COM
posed principally OF small fry politicians and their
scedy lawyers, when Judge Gilbert took his seal.
During the transaction OF the usual routine busl-
OF the court the highly periumed gen
tlemen who sport huge diamond pms and velvet
coats. and who known TO the suffering tiApay-
ers their city lawmakers. endeavored the best
they could TO Kill time by betting on the question a.
to how many Of the faithful friends OF the party II
any, would be indicted and sauntering out INTO the
Railways occasionally to talk over the impending
danger TO themselves and TO put up' the money
gu the bets mace IN the court room. one OF the
most instructive bets made IN the hallway was made
between two well known city officials on them
selves, and the perfect knowledge each had OF the
others character can be inferred from the
fact that neither was willing TO give odds
An even number Of gIeenbacks was therefore, placed
III the hands OF smiling and, doubtless,
mutual friend who stood by during the discussion OF
the "prehminarles.n How the bet VIII be declded
Is one OF those questions which may yet form
hitting theme Tor lawyers TO palaver over before
some civil justice should the stakeholder prove too
''neutral' Tor either party few moments after
the wager made the report OF the jury gratlfed
the betters with the knowledge that they were both
indicted.
THE GRAND JURY.
Judge Gilbert accompanied by Associate Justices
HOyt and voorhees,, entered the court about ten
O'Clock and took his seat on The bench. the names
OF the Grand Jury were then called and answered to.

Food for Thought,

"Are we drifting into Imperialism 2"
asks the Round Table with serious
ness which makes the question startling
and gives point to the following refec-
tons in which there is unhappily too
much truth.
I'm plain sooth, the age of sensuality,
of unchecked corruption, of dense, class
Ignorance is coming down on US like
night. A free press should have given
us more notes of warning than it has; but
the press dislikes, in free country, to
print uupalatable truth, even when it
discerns such truth, and the journals
that profess fearless devotions to prin-
ciple, are VIGOROUSLY the ones whose ar
ticles betray the most laborious solicitude
to catch the applause, and hatter the preju-
dice Of the greatest number of persons
Meanwhile, at what are called our great
centers," coarse brutes, who ought to be
digging railways Or drawing hand-carts
lay down the law for the whole community
and by dint ofvast wealth, amassed under
circumstances impossible in any other civil
lied country, degrade the social tone and
spread in every direction an unbridled
rage for the pleasures Of the senses. In
tellectual elevation or ambition is scoffed
at, and those who strive to inculcate a
taste for better things are either hated OF
despised.-Nothing is thought of but the
delights Of the table, of fine clothes, of
snowy dwellings and equipages-in word
ofpbysical raptures of every description
1t there is pretence at anything else
whether in the pulpit, in the theatre, or
in literature the pill must be gilded so
as to appear sensational" All this is
SO wisely admitted, so shamefuly no.
torious, that its recital is trite enough, we
repeat it merely in calculation of the sub
ject under discussion. 1t is impossible,
when people think all things Of their
bodies and nothing Of their minds, that
either democratic orr any other pure form
of government can long be maintained
Unless great change comes over the
American people twill not be maintained
by themselves. They are rushing toward
the precipice at railway speed, and the
universal corruption that good men deplore
is the prelude of decomposition which is
as certain as fate.

CHURCH BELLS.
Coming in couples
Smiling SO sweetly.
Up the long aisle
Tripping so neatly,
Envying bonnets,
Envying laces,
Nobbing at neighbors,
Peering in faces,
Whispering softly,
Needing no sermon
What they go there for
Hard to determine.
On all around them.
Gazing benignly,
Wholly unconsciously,
Singing diyinely.
Prosy discoursing,
Don't suit the whims
Pain they assemble
