bic number of deputy marshals, for the purpose
of preserving order at the polls.
In reply thereto | would state that at the cleo
tien this day held, Representatives in Congress
were to be chosen, and that, under the provi-
sions of the sixth section of the act of Congress,
of July Ia, 1870, was authorized to make such
appointments. The act of Congress is in these
words:-
Section And be it further enacted, That
in any city having upwards of twenty thousand
inhabitants, it shall be lawful for the Marshal
of the United States for the district wherein
said city shall be, to appoint many special
deputies as may be necessary to preserve order
at any election at which Representatives in Con-
gress are to he chosen; and said deputies are
hereby authorized to preserve order at such
elections, and to arrest for any ofense or breach
of the peace committed in their view"
This morning was informed by number of
reliable citizens that the colored voters of the
Third precinct of the Fifth ward we're being ex-
cluded from the polls. This was n violation of
the act OF Congress Of the Sd of March last and
by one Of the provisions of the same act it was
made my duty to take cognizance of the offense
and see to the enforcement OF the law. | was
further informed that the deputies that | had
appointed had been arrested by your policemen
and removed from the vicinity of this precinct,
Ind that your policemen were present at this
particular precinct in very large numbers, and
were actually engaged in the exclusion of the
colored voters.
For the purpose of protecting my deputies in
the lawful discharge of their duties in prevent
ing the colored voters from being excluded
from the polls, called to my aid a small body
of marines.
l did this for the preservation of the peace,
and as a matter of absolute necessity. The
action which ! have this day taken was in the
performance of my duty under the law.
Very respectfully,

Terrific Hurricane off the Coast of Delaware
"A Night of Terror on the Ocean-Escape
from the Jaws of Death.
Shortly after daybreak on Tuesday, october 4,
the brig Ruby, Captain j. Trafton sailed from Della
ware Breakwater for St. John, N. B. She was
laden with Goals. Everything went well until about
O'Clock the next morning, when the wind veered to
the northeast and began to threaten Before night
fall 1t had increased to gale, and at O'Clock A. M.
IL was found necessary to lay the ship to under close
reeted sails. The gale soon became hurricane,
and shortly before O'Clock the main staysail split
up, with report like that of q cannon, aud was
blown away. There was nothing to do now but
scud before the wind; accordingly the helm was
put round, and the vessel 1ew OFF like startled
fawn.
The sea was now running mountains high, each
huge roller threatening to break the ship. SJ the
brave little bark struggled on until the morning OF
Saturday, when on sounding it vas found that she
was in shOal water, the lead marking fifteen fathoms
only. To prevent her running aground sail was put
on and she was brought up to the wind. But sail
and tSen the Ts oretonss All this time the Sea- was
breaking over her and sweeping the decks from the
bowsprit TO the taffrail. The crew were holding on
TO the rigging and to the bulwarks, swhe the two
sailors VINO were lashed to the wheel were Knocked
about at random.
On sounding in the hold it was found that she was
making water fast, and all hands went to work at
the pumps The vessel was now unmanageabe, and
was helplessy tossed about in the trough OF the
Still the water gained on the pumps, and all on
board were prepared for the worst, when suddenly,
at about noon, the SMOKE of steamer was seen on
the extreme verge OF the horizon. AT once the en-
sign hoisted with The union down, and Joy filed
every heart when the steamer altered her course
and bore GOWN towards Lne SINKING Drlg. On she
came,iand when within hailing distance her life-
boat was lowered, and, impelled by tue sinewy
arms of four muscular sailors the little boat brought
up alongside the devoted craft. One by one the
half-drowned and weared mariners dropped into
her and were safely borne on board the steamer,
which turned out to be the Virgo, Captain Bukley,
bound to New York. Scarcely had the shipwrecked
mariners reached the deck Of the steamer whel they
saw the brig make a plunge forward and go down
head foremost.
The Virgo then steamed away for New York,
where she arrived safely; and to Captain Bulkley

IIn,oc of War.


At the FIRST reading we arc shocked at The
reported slaughter in the European battles;
but this feeling is greatly modified by COM
parison Of the recent battles with those Of
our late war. At Murfrecsboro, for instance,
lin Dec. 1862 there were 10000 men en-
gagged, in both armies, and the loss was 81 .
000 or nearly onc-third Of the combatonts.
This has not been surpassed, we apprehcnd, by
anything reported Of the late European bat
ties. In some Of our battles the slaughter on
both sides was absolutely appalling, and for
eigners advised us to make peace at any price,
rather than prolong such q sacrifice Of human
life. The London Times was especially nov
ed by the " butchery" as it was called, at
Gettysburgh, Of so many bravo men, the flow
er Of both North and South, lying dead or
mauged within few miles. True, this ,cqs

Ex-senator Sumner was the recipient, the
other day, of box from Nevada, containing
some inferior rice, pair of old Chinese shoes
and an anonymous letter, the latter rather
scurrious in terms, but suggesting that, as
he was such a strong advocate of the Chinese,
he would probably like to see What his friends
eat and what they wore This was a good
deal in the spirit Of the old days, when occa-
sionally an ear or finger of a dead slave
was sent to him to show him tho quality of
his friends then. Ia fact, this last man

Mr., Sumner had the pleasure Of paying $3.50

The Republican State Committee of
New Jersey are being laughed at as un-
sophisticated" and simple, aud their action
is characterized as refreshing artlessncss, r
because they have issued an address to the
voters of the State, giving such advice as
this Let men be nominated not to serve
personal ambition or private ends, but the
general welfare Of the State and the party
Let them be men whom the offices shall seek
and honor instead of men who seek the
offices merely that they may thereby obtain
honor or profit" This is rather a novel plan
of running a political party, it must be con.
icssed, but it is to be hoped it will work so
well in New Jersey that other states will try
rather than ridicule il.

Town Representatives.

The question, appropriate to the season in
Vermont, of Who shall be Town Representa-
tive2 has additional force the present year IN
consequence of the late change in the organic
law of the State, whereby this Office is to con-
tinue for two years, as well as from the addi-
tional consideration that vast labor and re.
sponsibility will devolye upon the next legis-
lature in bringing the statutes of the State in
to conformity with this change in the consti-
tuition. The field is comparatively new, and
there will be ample scope for the maturcst
judgment, the highest character, and the
ripest experience. In considering the claims
of any man-if claims to such an Office may
be said to exist at all,-it seems indispensa-
Bile that he be a man, aside from being firm
of the strictost integrity, of cs-
tabIished principles and habits, well informed
in respect to men and things ready and able
to defend the right, Docs his record show
him to have favored law and order, sobriety
and virtue, and does he possess those moral at
tributes which lie at the foundation of all
permanent prosperity in any community p
Furthermore is he possessed of public spirit,
which leads him to put his voice and his
purse and his hand to those public enterprises
which are so indispensable to the material
growth Of all our towns, and without which,
in these days Of competition and rivalry, our
business interests must inevitably languish
and die2 Can he be sweryed from devotion
to the highest interests of the community he
aspires to represent by any extraneous inau-
enco whatever? II not, then we have found
the right man for the position-and having
found him, let us charitaby and generously
lay aside all personal preferences and preju-
dices, all dictation of sect or clique, and ac-
cord him that hearty support which the can
didate and cause so richly deserve.

1.-The most remarkable instance Of election
frauds that the census has disclosed in New
York, is that in the tenth election district of
the sixth ward This district in May last
reported 30 republican and ss4 democratic
voters, and its total population is now ascer,
tanned to be $40. The Ereaiag Post declares
that an honest vote in this district would not
exceed l24 and as there were 80 republican
voters Che real democratic majority was "a,
instead Of S34 as it was actually returned
When it is considered that the democrats have
a chance to manipulate the vote in over 400
election districts Of Now York city, the large
democratic majoriiies that are usually figured
up there are easily accounted for.
