HONEST ELECTIONS.

New-YOrk has not had an honest election
for years. Tammany Hall having obtained
control of the city, has, year after year. put into
operation its machinery of fraud, and by re-
peating, ballot-box stuf1ing, fraudulent natu-
ralization, and false counting, set at naught
the will Of the people, perpetuated itself in
poweD robbed the city of millions, and gov
erned it for private ends and individual gain.
Voting has become farce; honest men have
been driven from the polls and from every
place of responsibility and trust under the
Municipal Government, or they have seen their
votes neutralized by illegal ballots bought and
paid for by the Democratic leaders. Nor is
this fraud confined to city elections. Gov.
Hoffman holds his Office to-day in opposition
to the expressed will of the people of the
State, and President Grant was cheated out of the
electoral vote of NewYork by the same dishon-
est and illegal practices. But this is nOnew story;
everybody knows it to be true; the guilty
men themselves do not Deny it, Napoleon
writes plebiscitum, and backed by 100000
bayonets, orders France to vote "Yes y the
result he calls "a popular expression of appro-
"bation." Tweed and Sweeny make up a
slate" estimate the number of fraudulent
votes needed, order them by the thousand;
they are cast and counted, and Tammany Hall
calls the farce "an election.r
The fatal defect in our State law against
illegal voting is that its execution has been
intrusted to the very men in whose interest it
was broken. Arrests for repeating and illegal
voting have been frequent at all recent cleo
tions, but the police have seen their prisoners
discharged from custody by Tammany judges
as fast as they brought them in, and pre-
liminary examination, to say nothing of a trial
or conviction, has been almolt unheard of.
But every abuse works its own remedy in the
end. This wholesale cheating at elections has
been carried so far that Congress finally took
the matter in hand and our election this Fall
will be held under the new law passed by that
body during its last session.
The Act to enforce the right of citizens of
the United States to vote in the several
States OF this Union and for other purposes
printed in full elsewhere-is composed of two
parts. The first comprises the "approprate
Legislation" authorized by the second section
OF the Fifteenth Amendment for its enforce
ment, and to this are appended five sections
aimed directly at the frauds practced in this
city and vicinity. The crimes enumerated in
these sections include attempting to register

that the chief cause of this grea'
loss is the mismanagement and mal-appropiia-
ton of the revenues of the Road by Messrs
Fisk, Gould s. Co. If the stockholders think

as soon as its practical advantages are under

the kind which years of experience have
proved to be of the greatest benefit IN pre-
venting disasters at sea 10y giving warning OF
approaching storms. 1t will require time to

and, when the fight was over, every cherished
theory of naval warfare had been demolished.
England found her walls of oak no protection
against four-hnndrcd-poun shot and France
saw that her heaviest naval guns would be
powerless before Yankee Iron-Clad. There
was no choice left for foreign nations but to
throw aside the ships that I'LL then had been
considered so formidable, and to rebuild their
nayies upon Ericsson's plan or some other sug-
gested by it. How far France has been sue
cessful in her efforts to build up powerful
navy may be learned from the letter of our
correspondent printed elsewhere. Though by
far the stronger on The sea Of the two bellg-
erent powers France has yet many things to

The Nathan inquest having served the adj
mrable purpose of removing the suspicious
which had been so wantonly excited against
son of the deceased, is arousing distlust OF
another inmate of the house on that ter
rible night, who may be equally innocent with
the first victim of the popular eagerness Tor
the discovery of the murderer. 1t is not clear,
from the experience of the past few days, that
any good purpose can be advanced by further
persistence in the public investigation. Ii
the Coroner has any positive testimony
which viii aid in clearing up this mys-
terry let him produce it, but it is time he
ceased to call witnesses who have only
theories and surmises to give us. 1t has be-
come painfully evident that the murderer Is
not likely to be discovered except by some
lucky accident. Public inquisitiOn has not yet
produced fact that is of value in unearthing
the assassin.

latter suffered complete and disastrous route horse foot
and agricultural implements The campaign which was
opened so brilliantly and vicously in THE TRIBUNE some
time since has been carried sort Of dress parade
and practice performance by Greeley until the bucolc
readers of his paper began to believe Fisk the monster
he painted simply because the philosopher was NOT
called upon to respond to q libel-suit.
But moro complete and satisfactory settlement
was approaching. The other day, Mr. Fisk quietly pro-
hited the sale carriage Of THE TRIBUNE newspaper
on his widely extended lines Of transportation Half the
edition went back to Sprucest, and Greeley found him.

called his hands Wise in his generation he posted
to the nonchaant Fisk who received him with the cord

diplomatic serenity.
1t understood that the explanations OF Mr. Greeley
were FULL complete satisfactory, and humble, and that
peace agreed upon whereby the Erie embargo would
be raised Not only the apology ample for past In
justice but agreed the part of Mr. Greeley that
never should THE TRIBUNE drive its journalistic hay
rake Mr. Fisk again. On these terms it settled
that the Erie roads should carry THE TRIBUNE greeley

Comments by The Tribune
We find the foregoing remarkable statement
conspicuously paraded in The San. Why it
should so appear, and what was the impulse to
its original publication i'll Boston, Others can
Judge as well as we.
Let us first correct the leading misstatements
of fact contained therein-as follows:
l. No "half," nor tenth, nor twentieth part
of the circulation of THE TRIBUNE was ever
subject in any manner to the sway of Col.
James Fisk, jr., and his associates. And there
has been no week of the last six in which the
aggregate sale Of our journal was not largely
increased.
2 We have not seen that person for years,
and have never sought his society nor solicited
favor at his hands.
g. We have no "war" with Messrs. Fisk and
Could have fought no battle" with them,
and certainly have suffered no "rout" at their
hands. We heartily wish them well, and
greatly prefer to be at "peace" with them, as
with all men. But the monstrous, fragrant
iniquity of their seizure of the Erie
Railroad and confscation of its earn
ings we deem it our duty to expose
and rebuke. That confscation, and the
iuipunity accorded To it hy our Courts. have

We don't expect that the Westchester towns
will he annexed to New-YOrk without some
body's or some party's making "job" of the
project as is suggested by the schemes to
turn the Bronx into a canal, and to extend the
northern boundary line of the city so as to
include MorTisania, West Farms, Westchester,
and Yonkcrs. Nevertheless, these town are
likely to become absorbed in this city, in any
case, in few generations. 1t is for the engi-
neers of the present time to say whether they
shall form incOngruOus parts, or whether
their streets and grades shall be adapted to
those OF the rest of the city.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-12

We are in daily receipt of complaints from
persons who cannot buy THE TRIBUNE at
news-stands. The constantly increasing demand
for TIE TRIBUNE, since the public know that
it is the only newspaper having full special
dispatches from the seat of war in Europe,
exhausts the supply of dealers at an early
hour. They increase their orders from day to
day, but pot so rapidly as the demand war
rants, and we will thank our friends if, in
making their complaints, they will state where
they apply and cannot buy THE TRIBUNE.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-12

There remains hope that Gen. Schenck viii
not decline the nomination for Congress which
has been rendered him by the Republicans of
the Hid Ohio District. The district cannot
spare him; it is not too much, indeed, to say
that the country cannot spare him from his
accustomed place in Congress. His service
there has been too signal and important to be
concluded without protest on the part OF the
pcople. The Generals present position is at
once modest and manly, and the constituents
who have long taken honorable pride in his
public career viii not suffer it to end without
absolute necessity.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-12

Our merchants and the health officers OF the
port must not forget that there is third party
to their dispute. The public of this city has
once before taken part in Quarantine war on
less provocation than it is now patiently suffer
ing. and it was then violent part. The pas
sage of a bark infected with yellow fever past
quarantine by way of Perth Amboy, is an
evasion of the law which no commercial neces-
sity will justify. The summary manner In
which the vessel was subsequently torn from
her moorngs at a Brooklyn pier and carried
to quarantine may have been legal, but it was
a dangerous proceeding and liable to incite
breach of the peace We had hoped for a
wise and peaceful compromise of the difficult
ties between the merchants and the health
officer. 1t does not appear that we are to
have it. The complaints of the former are
doubtless in some measure just, and we do
not wish to wrong the quarantine officers,
with their political associates Of the "Ring,"
by the intimation that they do not intend to
make all they can out of their office. But to
the public, whose safety is endangered, the in
terests of merchants and of politicians must
be sacrificed.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-12

Mr.. Tweed has been engaged with Control
Ter Connolly in the cOngenial task of award
ing numerous contracts to bidders who are
said to be the lowest. The total the city IS TO
pay for the jobs thus given out is S52S,O46 IA,
for sewering, grading, curbing, and regulating
certain streets, and $17O,929 35 for about two
miles of paving, which seems to us so exor-
bitant that the eight contracts will probably
not impoversh the contractor who has secured
them all. The half million award is remark
able from the fact that S49751G 16 of the
amount are required for certain improvements
in Eighth-ave., between Fifty-ninth and One
hundred and twenty y-secOnd-sts., which are
needed badly enough, but which are generally
supposed to have been once paid for already.
Mr. Tweed may be able to explain this little
matter but we do not suppose that he will.
A few hundred thousands, more or less, alb
stracted from The public purse have never pro-
voked much explanation from the Ring which
has pocketed the plunder.

Let US hope that the Canadians will not
attempt to replace the troops which England
is Withdrawing, or maintain the forts along
their southern boundary which England is

war they would be powerless, and tbs moral
effect of their array is absolutely and utterly
lost upon us. Let her save the three or four
