Fraud In the New York Elections.

The canvass in the State sf New
Yok over the Gubernatorial election is
becoming very exciting. The Republi
can candidate, Gen. Wood dford, has taxi
en- the stump, and boldly charges that
the present Democratic Governor, (and
candidate for re>election), j. r. Hoff.
man. was elected two years since be-
cause Of fraudulent vote and fraud
ulent count; because thousands of nat
uralization papers were issued from
courts without the semblance of judic-
ial order; because organized gangs of
repeaters, rufians, and bullies,
marched from poll to poll depositinp
their illegal ballot, and that over rand
over again, with none to molest or make
them afraid, because corrupt inspectors
and canvassers in the cities of New
York aud Brooklyn falsely counted the
ballots, that were thus unfairly thrown,
and created fictitious majorities upon
which his certificate of eecti IN n
granted. These are not idle boasts
made upon the eve OF an importan nj
election, for Gen. Woodford announces
himself as prepared TO prove all his as.
sertions to the present Governor face to
face before the people, and Gov. Iof
man had not at latest accounts signified
his willingness to accept the challenge.
The New York Eevening Post, con
seryative Republican journal, thus com.
ments npon Woodford's serious charg-
es: This question has passed beyond
partisanship. OF what avail is it to dis
cuss any question Of policy, system OF
taxation, canal policy, the merits OF
protective tariffs, the justice and expe.
diency of free trade, if in any event the
people are not to decide the election
The purity Of the ballot box must be
restored aud maintained aud preserved
or the days of the Republic are num-
bered' Both parties-or rather the
honest and scrupslous majorities Of both
partirs--are interested in having the
purity of the ballot-box maintained in'

10 the ascendant. Through the ballot
box the people exprss their will; it il
the only way provided BY law in which
that will eau be aseertained Whoever
tampcrs with the ballot>hox attempts to
defeat the will Of the people, and should
be visited with condign punishment
1t is to be hoped that the people Of New
York will have an opportunity of hav.
ing their will correctly recorded.

admitted to seat in the Senate instead
of j. w. Watts, ousted. 1t seems to
us that is this case at least partisan

of evidence and equity. and there are
not men wanting who openly charge
that there is an axe to grind, and that
Watts would not vote for the measure.

BoARD OF EQUALrZATioS.-Sena.
tor Stout, Of Multnohah. has intro.
duced a bill into the Legislature that
provides for State Board of Equali
cation. The duties pertaining to this
new Office is to see that all property in
the State is assessed alike. We do
hope that our law makers will pass the
bill or similar one. BY the present
method of assessing, counties go dis
posed can and do doctor the valuation
OF the property therein so that the bur-
dens of taxation pulls unequally on diff
ferent portions Of the State. Another
source of complaint is the assessing Of
all stock and real estate at fixed val
uation. A person having his substance
in money is assessed for the whole num-
Der OF dollars, yet hc can purchase @
piece of laud for ST. or s15 dollars
per acre and have it assessed ut S5 OF
So Here again is taxation unequal
Can these things be remedied.

DELINQUENT Southern Postmasters
are not to be allowed to escape their

In the case of the United States against
Keller and others, the United States
Supreme Court yesterday held thar pay

such persons as had claims for postal
service against the United States, under
the Confederate law to that end, did not

bonds of such officers. The defense of

held to be bad, because it was not con-
sideration within the bond, and the
amount due must be paid. The opinion
was delivered by Mr.. Justice Miller.

TBs CoLORED CIrIzESs OF NEVADA are
on the eve of Acknowledgement. Doubt
less the fact of the formal adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment by three.
four,hs of the Sts,es of this Re
public will be promulgated by the Exec
utive within q very few days. We urge
the colored citizens of this State to pre-
pare themselves for the exercise of their
new privilege. Wherever there are
several colored men living there should
be an organized society or club, having
for its objec, the enlightenment of one
another in the laws pertaining to the
elective franchise. By the terms of a
law which was passed at the last Leeis-
lature the Acknowledgement of rebels is
no longer one of the statutory provisions
Of this State. This is well enough !;
especially since the Fifteenth Amend
ment has been adopted; for it is doubt.
less true policy that universal amnesty
should accompany universal suffrage
But while the rebels 10 Nevada are to
be secured . right to vote, it 10 import
ant that our colored citizens should be
prepared to observe all the forms neces.
sary to their exercise ofthat right. They
should be prepared to pay their poll tax
and to be registered and in order that
these necessary prelimiuaries may be
duly observed and no votes lost through |
negligence and Misrepresentation, there
should be organization-and by oraani-
cation we mean conference one with an
other and concert of action. We do not
suppose the colored vote of Nevada will
much exceed one hundred and ffty-if|
it equals that number but it is wanted;
and there should be nothing left undone
by themselves which will insure its ex-
ercise.

The Colored Citizen is designed to

Tss NcGAasAsAH CAsE.-Judgine
from the tenor Of the following state.
i, mess Of the decision in the AcGarrahau
case, which We fnd in the Washington
Chronicle Of the 18th inst, there are
still left some points upon which that
irrepressible little lrishman can again
get into court, although, so far he has
los. bis fight:
In the case of McGarrahan against
Secretary Coz, the United States Su-
preme Court yesterday reversed the
judgement below, and remanded the
cause with directions to dismiss the Pc
,ition Mr. Justice Clifford delivered
tho opinion. The court say that the
case is fatal, because there was no allie
cation or proof on the part of McGarra-
ban that the lands were not mineral
giving judgemeu, against Secretary
Brow ming without first hearing the case
on its merits. 1t is also said that when
Browning went out of Office the case
absted, and that the judgement given
against Secretary Cox, without notice
having been served upon him and with
out hearing, was wholly void. Be-
sides, the court was without jurisdiction
of the subject-matter OF the case, which
was wholly within the control and de-
cision of the officers of the land depart
ment ofthe Government, and called upon
them for the exercise of official judge
ment and discretion. The act Of issue.
ing patents is held to be no part of the
official duty of the Secretary of the In
terior. The primary application is to
the Commissioner of the Land Office,
and the Secretary has nothing TO do
with it except on appeal. The duty of
signing and sealing patents is devolved
on the President and certain officers |
prescribed by law, and is not the busi-
mess of the Secretary Of the Interior.
Mr. Justice Miller concurred as to the
reversal of the judgement; but declined
10 consider the merits of the case as
now before the court.

OLD STATUARY-At his last lecture
Wendell Phillips said:
The old Greek statuary in Naples
locked in a palace into which men and
women never entered together stood in
the streets two Thousand years ago, and
the reason was that no woman trod
those streets. The impurities of Soph
ocIes, of Chaucer, of Shakespeare, men
of as lofty thoughts and pure mind as
Browning, Dickens and Tenuyson, were
all attributed to the fact that they wrote
for men women were not counted on
as readers. The world has grown clean
