The telegram in our issue Of yesterday,
stating that Judge BoND had appointed two
stmanagers for each yoting-place in
Charleston, to supcrintend the next cleo
zion in that city, foreshadows similar ap-
rointments for this city. Under the tiimsy
pretcxt of preserving the purity of the bal
lot-box, and preventing foreigners who are
not uaturalized from exercising the right OF
suffrage, the Radical Congress at Its last
session passed the law under which these
managers" arc 10 be appointed. The
law is of a piece with all the legislation OF

Ours is not the only paper which has
called attention to the advances towards
dcspotic rule which the Federal Govern
ment Is making first in one way and then
in another, and first in one place and then
in another, throughout the country. The
Phila delphia Age says:
"THE MILITARY OrTRAGE.-It is now
said that the invasion Of the polls by Fe1e-
raj troops in this city on election day was
but q preliminary, tentative step towards

thrown out in the New York Tribune con-
firm this belief. We trust the Radicals will
find that q Democratic Governor will be
prompt to maintain the laws and defend his
State from illegal invasion from any quarter.
The New York volunteers will be capable
of defending their own soil from invasion;
for the late outrage in Philadelphia was
nothing better-it was an impudent and
violent experiment. made by profligate
Radical politicians to see how far they can
venture with impunity. The whole ma
chinery Of the Federal Government was
taken possession of by the Radical clique,
who were striving by every means, fair and
foul, to carry the election in this CITY in
their own interest. 1.-THE captain of Brit
iSh man-ofwar in the harbor of New York
should send has marines to seize poll in
that city, on the pretence that certain born
subjects OF the Queen of Great Britain
were in,peded in their rights acquired by
in this country, it would
be not whit more illegal than the
outrage perpetrated here. Nor could the
Radical press befog the public judgment Of
the case by assertions, true or false, that
srtain Englishmen or Irishmen had es-
&aped broken head by the timely arrival
Of the self-ronStitutcd vindicator of their
rights. The illegal intrusion of unlawful
military force in an election, contrary to the
law Of the State and the Constitution and
laws of the United States. is the great
browning wrong and evil, and if all the
falseboods manufactured to palliate it were
true they would afford it no justification.
