From the TSmes's Correspondent.
New YORK.
The triumph of the democratic party
in the government of this State at the
late election begins TO give people who
have an intelligent interest in the future
of the city a good dear of concern. There
is little question hat rs fer as the Presi-

voked, and at the termination of the read
ing His Excellency, raising his right hand,
said in a firm voice "God save the
Queen The commission was then
handed TO the Chief Justice who, having
glanced at it, commenced to administer
the oath to the Governor. His Excellen-
cy having taken and subscribed the oath,
bowed low to the Chief Justice, and
shook His Honour's hand warmly. His
Excelledcy then, after a moments con-
sultation with the Attorney General (Mr.
Gilberl), said that the Court would stand
adjourned until the 1st February. A
signal was given by one of the Officers
in attendance to a man stationed Oh the
dome and by the latter communicated 10
the Fort. The salute was fired, and
Guiana acknowledged a new Governor.
The proceedings did not occupy altoge-
ther more than a quarter of an hour.
His Excellency having remained for a
short time In conversation with several
gentlemen and shaken hands with others,
and the general public having taken as
good a view Of the new Governor as was
possible under the circumstances, His
Excellency again descended to his car
riage and having been received with the
same honours as on his arrival, drove
off by High-street towards Government
House. The people stationed in front of
the Buildings cheered His ExcelIency
loudly, and followed his carriage a long
way exhibiting warm demonstrations of
welcome. His ExcellencY repeatedly re-
uovad his h,t opd hound4o +bo neoplo
Everybody now began to retire and the
Public Buildings soon assumed their
wonted quiet. Thus ended the interest
ing ceremony of swearing in q new Gov
ernor, an event which can never be re-
garded with indifference. The advent
amongst us of a new administrator of the
Government is one of'the changes we eX-
pect and are prepared for; but it is too
important a circumstance not to excite
our interest, and to some extent our anXl-
ETY.. While bidding adieu 10 Sir Francis
Hincks, we welcome Governor Scott with
all heartiness. We trust that His Excel
lency will merit as we'll of the colony as his
predecessor has done, and that when he
in turn has to leave us too, he will carry
with him as much gratitude, respect and
love. We place confidence in the man
whom our beloved Sovereign has chosen
to represent and uphold her power
amongst us; we offer our cordial co-ope-
ration in all measures for the public
good and we hope that Heaven will
guide his administration so that it may
largely conduce to the progress of the
country, and to The elevation, prosperity,
and happiness of the people.-Co lonist.

ernorship of the State for the next two
years. They have possession of the city
courts !; so that election frauds cannot be
punished here. The governors veto will
be used to prevent any legislation making
more ~effectual provision for the detection
or prevention of fraud. The republicans
have a majority 10 the Legislature, it is
true, but a lwo-thirds majority is neces-
sary to pass bills over The governors veto.
Consequently a change for the better is
not likely but a change for he worse is
likely. If by the aid of the same tactics
the democrats should secure a majority in
the Legislature next year, they will be en-
abled, with the governor on their side, 10
remove the remaining obstacles to their
obtaining fall possession of the govern
ment of this city, and placing the lives
and property of the inhabitants literally
at the mercy Of the local "roughs,'' and
of "the ring" who now control or fiji! the
municipal Offices. These obstacles are the
police, which is administered by IA board
of commissioners appointed by the gov
ernor; the waterWorkS, and the Central
park, which are managed in the same way.
Ten years ago the police was in the hands
of the mayor, and the mayor at that time
being Fernando Wood, the force was COM
posed mainly Of roughs and criminals,
who served him on election day. | could
tell you stories of their performances at
that time, some of them within my per-
sonai experience, which would SAVIOUR of
AlSalia rather than of any locality with
which the European world in our day is
familiar. The reform of which we have
ever since been reaping the benefit was
effected with great difficulty, but it was a
genuine reform. No better police exists
than the present one. 1t has made cleo
ton day one of the most orderly days in
the year, when it used to be Que of the
most turbulent, and has made life and
property as safe as they can be in any
city in which the efforts of the police are
not effectively seconded by the courts.
If the democrats get the control of the
State government, they will, however,
abolish the board, and hand the force
back 10 the municipality, when it will
become a mere band of janisaries in the
pay of the leading plunderer of the NUM-
cipal treasury. In like manner the con-
troll of the waterworks and of the park
would give them the control Of anAexpen-
diture of some millions of dollars, and of
a very large patronage, which they would
use also TO reward their adherents amongst
the rowdies. This done, the city would
be absolutely at their mercy. Life and
property would be less secure than they
have ever been, for in the days Of Fer
nando Woods police there were honest
judges and an honest district attorney.
At this moment the pigeon-holes of that
functionary'S office are full of untried in

jority for Seymour, about 5000, was
composed of fraudulent votes but the
same thing cannot be said of Hoffmann's
10000. No doubt a large part of it is
composed of fraudulent votes also, but
probably not the whole. Tie total num-
Der of fraudulent certificates of naturali-
cation issued is now supposed to be
about $4,000, and they have been used
all over the State. No one attempts to
deny this. Those democrats who say
anything about ii c%onfine themselves to
denouncing the republican attempts to
expose or punish the frauds as "InsuIts,"
or a chase conspiracy" &C. In fact
there is no denying Them but, u%nforlu-
nate!y, it is very doubtful whether there
is any furnishing them either. The Uni
on League Club, as told you in a recent
letter, has appointed a committee Of in
vestigation !; but nothing will come of it
except a report, which nobody will read.
The class of men who commit these
frauds are NOT. made either afraid or
ashamed by exposure. The only thing
they fear is punishment; and of punish
ment for frauds committed In municipal
or State elections in this city there seems
at present no chance, because the public
prosecutor and many of the judges are
either in a legue with those who commit
them, or are dependent onthem for their
places. 1t is SAT. 10 say that there is not
now a Judge on the State bench in this
city who can be relied on to conduct pro-
perly the trial of a man for participation
in these offences; nor can the district at
torney be relied or TO prosecute him. If
the frauds are committed at a Presidential
election, and consist in the issue of frau
dulent naturalization papers, the United
States Court can take cogniZance OF them,
and then Justice can be done but when
the frauds are committed at State cleo
ton, and do not involve the violation of
a Federal statute, the case, as far as this
city is concerned, seems we'll nigh hope
less. What makes it now alarming as
we'll as hopeless is, that the democrats
have found out that the frauds can be
committed on an. immense scale with per-
feet success, and there is, therefore, no
reason why the experiment should not
be repeated on Il still greater scale, and
every election hereafter carried by the
same means. What an instrument of cor
ruption the discovery may be made may
be inferred from a secret circular, which
was issued by somebody connected with
the democratic organization in this city,
and had Mr.. S. J. Tilden's name, amongst
others, signed to it, though he has denied
it's authenticity as far as he is concerned.
That it was issued, however, and was of
use, is certain :; and it called On the de-

been coming on for some time back,
