TRlTD NEW YORK CITY.

New York city seems to be under the
complete control Of the devil, or rather
hls lmps. The most outrageous OF crimes
are committed there. yet the criminals
t5aHage 20 slip through the fingers on the
law officers, and adequate punishment
for crime there is one Of the lost arts.
For two or more years gigantic election
frauds have been perpetrated, and the
perpetrators thereof have grown holder
at each succeeding election until now
they scarcely make show Of covering
up their nefarious practices. These
frauds have become SC outrageous
that the better class of demo-
Gratis no longer attempt to deny them,
although they have been committed IN
the interests of their party. Here is
what the Herald saws of the recent
municipal election:
Most shameless and outra eeous frauds
were committed at the polling places
the charter election Of 1869 was in reality
a saturnalia for partisan zeal and bare
faced fraud, cor mitted within and with
-out the ballot box. Repeaters not only
did their work efectUally in suppressing
and overruliug the wishes and predilec
tions of the citizens as they desired TO
express them through the ballot box in
favor of the candidates of their choice,
bU5 inspectors and canrdsse1s lent Their
aid or countcndHce to the cleat and to the
outrage 6V 'StgGing'' and counting
out
The sane was true Of the November
election, not only in New York, but in
Brooklyn. In the latter city there was
a deliberate attempt made to count in
the candidates of the democratic ring
against the overwhelming majority fol
opposition candidates, and the returns,
in many cases, were altered after they
had been made up; Of this the papers
bore unmistakable evidence. The mat
ter has been undergoing Investigation,
uut there Is httia hope that the vliiian~
+encaged in this plot to defeat the will oi
the people will ever be brought to pun
jshment
These frauds could at once be stopped
if the democratic leaders should refuse
to countenance them. and should make
efforts to have the perpetrators thereof
punished, But this they refuse to do.
and they must. therefore, be held as
parties to the crimes. The query nat
nrally arises here, how much longer can
New York and Brooklyn stand theiI
frauds, and life and property remain in
anything like security. 1t Is not sur
prising that the question Of q separation
ot the state of New York from the city i,
discussed with much earnestness by the
papers outside of the city.

Cur War Governor.

4 It was not till the second year Of the
rebellion that he people fully compre
hended the magnitude of the war upor
(which they had entered. 1t was not til
then that the struggle became intense
and the power of the nation was strained
to its utmost. The second and thirC
/ years of the conflict witnessed the awfu
fperiods when the life of the Republic
trenbled in the balances. Then was tho
midnight of the war After Getty sburg
| the dawn came, and all the fourth year
the light of victory shone op our ban.
ners
ftwas during these two dreadful years
of strife that the military rescu of onl
state were called forth in their fullest
efficiency, and handled with consummate
executive power. Regiments on regi,
ments of Wisconsin sons were mar
Shaled in the field, and the strange con.
Germs ofwar complicated themselves with
the familiar civil administration.
| At that time the affairs Of our state
were guided by man of wisdom, hu
| manity, force of actlon-a man who bad
that grasp of all at once, which chaYac-
terizea Governor Andrew. What be was
to Massachusetts,. Governor Solomon was
to Wisconsin. In the memories of the
great war, which history will preserve for
the generations to come, he will be
known as our War Governor. 1t will be
known as it is to US, how he devoted
himself to the welfare and efficiency OF
the Wisconsin regiments, whether IN the
executive chamber at the Capitol. or by
going among them in the army, as when
in the trenches at Vicksburg he cheered
our soldiers to stand at their guns.
The fortunes of life-let Us hope they
viii prove glorious fortunes to him-now

manent resid nee in New York. To day

Knowing how truly Governor Falrchlid

years Of my goyerhorship. the evidences
of his high executive ability have con-
tInually presented themselves. | can
assure the people of Wisconsin that in
every place where Governor Solomon
left his imprint on the archives Of the
Government, it is the imprint of patriot
ism and purlty-an iaaprint for tie
right!
At that banquet Governor Solomon re-
ceiyed farewell from citizens Of various
nationalties, creeas, politics and voca-
tons. He who spoke for the Press had
to DO so in somewhat broken and con-
trite spirit.
We desire to give to Governor Solo
mon parting salutation in behalf of the
much lareer element in the Wisconsin
press, which sustained and appreciated
him in the great trial OF war-the press
which did understand his motives"

esterday, at IA Forty second street,
Mrs. William H. Disbrow died. Only a
few years ago she was the highest and
most brilliant on the list of the New York
bellies. Yesterday she died in the rear
room Of the fifth story OF one of the most
gniicently furnished and built houses
in the city: and though she owned the
furniture, many thousands of dollars
worth, those who by her death became
its owners to day send her, at the ex-
pense of the city of New York, to a
home in the Potter's Field. She was
the wife, too Of the lately deceased VIM.

prietor of Disbrow's riding academy.
Her mother discarded her when she
married against her will So, deserted
by her mother, and robbed in. her own
home, her body is to be carried too Pot

old, was beautiful, always respectable.
