The trials of the "Repeaters" before Judge
Woodruff were certainly very prompt but the
sentences were not very severe. There were
extenuating circumstances, however, in the
cases of those sentenced yesterday. and those
contemplating frauds to-day will be wise not
to accept the sentences of Mclaughlin and
Schroeder as precedents for the punishment OF
more fragrant offenders. The Government au-
thorites purpose prosecuting all persons de-
tected in illegal voting to-day; and the past
administration of the United States Courts in
dicates the purpose of the Judges to punish
the guilty.

Over FIVE thousand warrants have been pre-
pared for the arrest of men known to be
guilty of fraudulent registration, in case they
make the attempt to vote on such registra-
ton to-day. We commend to them the short
and pithy story of Terence Quinn. There is
no desire to send them to the Penitentiary,
but the one and only way to escape it is to
abstain from attempting to vote without the
right. The law will be enforced at all hazards
even if an extra Penitentiary has to be built
to accommodate the five thousand! Messrs.
Repeaters, registered from warehouses, vacant
lots, liquor stores and the like, you are inorn

Louisiana sounds the prelude for victory in
New York! The returns received of yester-
days election indicate that the Republican
State ticket is elected by $1,000 to 10000 ma
jority, with Republican members of Congress
in four of the five districts of the State, and
Legislature largely Republican in both
branches. The election was quiet and
orderly. No one, so far as our in-
formation goes, having the right to
vote was .obstructed in the free exercise Of
that right, mainly, no doubt, for the reason
that ample provision had been made to enforce
the law in case of attempted violence. All
this is in beautiful contrast to the murderous
scenes which were enacted in NewOrleans in
1866 under the countenance Of Andrew John
son. Louisiana has done all that could have
been expected from her. Let New-York fol-
low her example. The ticket elected is as fol-
lows

ERIE RAILWAY,

If any one shall report to-day that Horace
Greeley has said or done anything intended
to affect the vote for Congress in the With
District that report will be false. Mr.. Greeley
is and will remain candidate but he did
nothing to make himself such, and has said
nothing in accommodation or disparage-
ment of his competitor. He leaves the result
implicitly to the voters of the district, taking
no steps to influence their decision in any
way. They know whether they want him for
representative or not, and will decide
accordingly. All he asks is that every legal
voter be left free TO vote once exactly as he
sees fit, and that none but legal voter be
allowed to vote at all. Let the laws whether
Federal or State, which forbid Illegal voting
and false counting, DO vigorously enforced, and
let the Peoples verdict. fairly rendered. DO

A SERMON ON FRAUD.

The Journalist has double function to per-
form, as historian of the times, and q censor
of public morals If we turn aside therefore
from contemplating the gigantic outrages Of
Fisk, Hall, and Tweed, to expend little
righteous indignation on the trihing fOrgeries
Of our unhappy friend The World, it is not
because we deem those newspaper frauds in
trinsically important enough for serious dis
cussion, but because we feel it to be our
religious duty to rebuke fragrant sin whereverwe
find it. The sinner may be personally of no con-
sequence to mankind, and yet the example of his
iniquity may become a grave social evil. IL
the aforesaid sinful newspaper, for instance,

cOncOcts fictitious message from South
Africa announcing the arrival at the Cape of

Eugene the very same day that flight oc-

Cable letter from London about the inter-
national boat race, or copies its Geographic

or from street posters, no great harm may be
done to the truth of history, because the de-
ception is instantly found out; but if
practices like these are permitted to go

will stopi 1t is bad enough to have Mr..
Tweed making peculation fashionable, and Mr.
Fisk showing young military men and finan-
ciers the advantages of career impartially
divided between debauchery and the robbing
of railroads. If the newspaper organ Of these
eminent citizens is to bring forgery also into
vogue, 1t is absurd to suppose that the crime
will be confined to such little things as news
dispatches for The World 1t will go into
Wall-st., and every Democrat in the city will
become after a while an object of mercantile
suspicion.
We feel fully justified therefore in returning
this morning to a subject upon which we have
already said more than its intrinsic insignf-
canoe would seem to call for. We have been
startled-Or rather we have not been startled
by repeated announcements lately in The
World that the London populace were on the
verge of revolution because their Government
refused to intervene in behalf Of France, and
Gable dispatches" have been published in that
paper describing formidable gatherings Of the
working-classes and demonstrations of the
most alarming character. We exposed the
iaisehoOd OF one Of those reports the
other day, and as The World has attempted
to justify itself we expose it still more

The bad faith of Gov. Hoffman in issuing
his order to the militia, after what was under
stood to be a full and harmonious agreement
with the United States authorities on all
points involved in the election. is only equaled
by its folly. The law says the militia shall
not be called out, or even have a rendezvous
named, on election day, or for five days pre-
ceding, save in case of riot, Instruction or in
vasion, or imminent danger thereof Gov Hof-
man first says there is no danger. Then he
names rendezvous for the troops. The
defiance of law is palpable "a man with
brains enough for the dangerous role the
Governor is essaying would have the wit to
put better cover on the transaction. But
the purpose is equally apparent. Gov. Hoff-
man and his friends have done their
best to continue the shameless violations
of the Election law to which they owe
their power The United States troops have
given them pause. Now they summon the
militia, and mean to claim the credit of the
quiet election which Gen. Mcdowell and Mar
shall Sharpe enforced

JOHN T. HOFFMAN.

The World says:
"Gov. Hoffman will 60 out OF the City with majority
Of 5000"
The TRIBUNE says he will not, and ap
peals to the returns of to-day's vote to sup
port its assertion.
The World only admits loss Of 1850
from Hoffman's majority two years ago. We
say he will lose over 10000 in this City, and
at least 5000 in Kings. He will lose $4,000 in
the two cities, simply because his repeaters
and miscounters will be held in check by the
acts of Congress to secure q pure vote and
their faithful execution. And, if those acts
are faithfully executed in other cities, we shall
lay bare the frauds by which he was declared
elected. Stand FAST

DO THEY MEAN Fra Df

The World publishes the following as
"Another Radical DOdge:"
"The Radicals have started scheme to send letters to
different parties in this city whose names are on the
registers and instructed the TO take
many OF these letters back TO the PostOce possible
with the plea that the persons to whom they are sd
dressed cannot found From these returned letters

vers Our State laws will protect every person in his
rights or punish all who deprive legal voters of their
elective rights"
Comments by The TriJuns.-Knowing little
more of the above than that it is asserted by
The World, we ask every legal voters atten-
ton to the case as Thus presented:
John Smith for example) presents himself
for registration, and says he lives at No. 1,l56
Canal-st. Our detectives examine the re-
turns of the new Census, and find that no such
person did live at that number when that
Census was taken. But perhaps he has since
removed to that locality. TO test this, letter
is addressed and transmitted to John Smith,
"No. 1856 Canal-st." 1t is returned as mis-
sent-no such person as John Smith lives or
is known at that house. Hereupon, John
"Smith, No. 1856 Canal-st.," is marked on the
registry of that district to be challenged when
he offers to vote, and arrested if he persists
in voting.
What can be fairer than this Whose rights
are infringedf How can the legal right of
every voter to be protected from fraud be
maintained, if such claimants of the Right of
Suffrage be not challenged Men who have o
legal right to vote do you want your suffrages
swamped by wholesale fraudf If you do not,

that ine-tentbs of all who can be induced to
