IEPURITY OF THE BALLOT.

The Brooklyn Election Fraud Cases-The
Convictions Affirmed by tho General Term
Of the Supreme Court.
The General Term Of the Supreme Court, Second
district which met at Poughkeepsie in May last,
have promulgated their decision In the Brooklyn
election fraud cases, afrlrmng the conviction
of Barney Mahoney twhcse case was
test One) in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer Manoney was a canvasser
in the Sixteenth ward and was convicted OF having
willingly lost the returns Of the vote in the district
in which he acted. Henry p. Mayo and Michael
Hann on, Of the Fourth ward, were convicted OF
having made false canvass of the vote in their dts
trict ana Justice James Buckley and George Brown,
or the Twenty first ward, were convicted OF refusing
to canvass the vote az the law prescribed. Judge
t:ary for three months each, Mahoney for thirty
days, and Buckley and Brown to jail for ten days
each.
When the cases were taken to the General Term
that OF Mah0ney was agreed upon as a test for the
Others The same questions which were raised in
that applied to the others. The counsel for the de.
PENDANTS argued upon the irregularity OF the pro-
ceedings OF the Grand Jury which found the indic-
ments. Counsel raised the point that the Grand
Jury sat in the evenings when the court not In
session. ana that 1t was continued In session after
Judge Barnard had lett the City and gone to New
burg and was holding court there. The defendants
counsel also contenned they merely forfeited their
pay as canvassers that II they failed to discharge
their duty.
District Attorney Morris made a cogent argu-
ment sustaining the convictions. and held that It
was not necessary that the Judge should sit all
the while when The Grand Jury transacting busi-
ness. so long as the court was existing court in
session.
In view OF this decision of the General Term the
counsel for the defendants will probably carry the
cases TO the Court OF Appeals. The decision IL re-
garded IN Brooklyn rs severe blow to the ring
and point In favor OF District Attorney Morris over
Boss Mclaughlin.

able to play the "Mutes" an equally good game, but
they were not long In finding their mistake; for the
New Workers thrashed them from the word 'Go.n
The game commenced q few minutes after three
O'Clock with the Mutuas Ut the bat, but they were
disposed OF for "ducks egg" in very short order,
Hatfield and Patterson going out at first and Egger
on the ny to Burrows. The Oiympics were equally
fortunate, Young. Leach ana Hurley going out, the
former and latter on the foul fly to Charlie Mills ana
Nelson respectively, and Glen fair ny to woters.
In the second inning Nelson retired ut
nrst, l.. Mills ana Martin each scored run,
y. Mills was captured on the fly by Hol-
lingshead, and Swandell was treated In like
manner by Force, while the "boys with blue hoseu
were treated to another OF those highly but
unmentionabe animals. But 1t was In the third in
nlng thatthe '.Mutes' knocked the 'stufilng, clean
out Of The Washinetonans by their splendid batting.

OF 1t. In the fth inning HOllingshead, Burrows and
Glen made a very pretty double play, capturing
Hatfield and Swandell. In the seventh and eighth
