FLFCTJONS IND ELECTION FRAUDS

LLECIIONS And ELECIION IhACDo'
Solomon had no hesitation in deciding which
of two equally positive claimants was the
mother of the living child, when he proposed
that both the living and the dead child
should be equally divided between them. The
false mother hailed this suggestion with de-
light, while the true chose to abandon her
claim in order to save the chld's life.
That election frauds are frequently-in fact,
all but neutrality-suspicious., more especially
in great cities-that these frauds are often of
vast magnitude, reversing the verdict of the
legal voters-are widely asserted and con-
fdently believed. We have no doubt that this
State and Louisiana were both carried for
Polk over Clay in 1874 by illegal votes polled
in fraud of the rights of the legal votes, and
that John T. Hoffman was by fraud chosen
Governor in 1863 and the Electoral Vote of
our State given to Seymour and Blair instead
Of Grant and Colfax. Louisiana was likewise
made to vote for Seymour and Blair in 1868 !;
but this result was achieved by cOercng and
teTorizing the Blacks into voting for Seymour
or not voting at all.
In this City, fraudulent voting has become
regular trade. One of our present State
| Senators achieved prominence and influence as
"bOss repeater" he would not now be in
the Senate if he were not believed by his
political confederates to be an effective and
successful felon; while our new Sheriff is well
understood to have been chef-engineer of the
operations whereby the With Ward, with
hardly 81, 225 inhabitants, including many aliens
and not few disfranchised felons, has been
made to give the following votes:

diction which is most difficult to explain. IL
was to be expected that news of the utter ne,
feat of the Republicans in the elections Woulu
arouse the passions of the demonstatiye par
ties which control the capital, and that tne
violent factions would come into conflict. Inc
announcement that the Germans had unwiSely

There are some new men in the New-Jersey
Legislature-men whose souls, we trust are
yet unstained with brides. To these, we would
most earnestly say, Cast no vote that you
would not have known to all men, with every
consideration, every inducement, that influ-
enced you to give that vote. Whoever whis-
pers TO you that you can enrich yourself by
uOhng right, is tempter and villain. No
body will care to pay you for voting right
money is paid for UOting wrOnG, and that only.
To show to what condition Railroad and
Lobby influence have degraded the reputation
of your State, please consider the following
extract from an article on "The future of
Railways in the United States" in the last
Westminster ReUie,C:
"Aready three OF the States much controlled In
their political financial, and commercial interests by
railways within their borders the people in the
feudal times were controlled by the baron in his castle.
NewJersey in the hands Of the NewJrse Railroad,
CORPORATION resulting from the combination of the Cam
den and Amboy and the New-Jersey Transportation
Company. This railway has long held the monopoly
OF the route between New-York and Philadelphia,
and in fact between the East and the South. 1t
thus held the entire Eastern and Southern travel
and trade in its grasp and eXacted to upon all passage
over its road. Though the Constitution Of the United
States provides especially that there shall be obstacle
placed by any State the commerce OF the other States;
yet the OF NewJersey, brbed by the promise of
percentage upon the travel this line granted 1t
monopoly and maintained IL in the face Of all opposi-
ton Almost 30 years ago. Henry C. Carey, the we'll
known American writer upon Political Economy proved
nv series OF careful statistical studies that this rail
way monopoly had been OF almost incacuable injury to
the industry the education the intelligence, and the
political morality of the State yet 1t still holds its own
In fact though there is question but that the main
tenance OF this monopoly costs the inhabitants OF New
Jersey at least 100000 year. from the depression II
cluses in the agricultural interests Of tho State while
It's effect upon the political morality of the legislation
and the educational nteres of the State have caused
New-Jersey to become almost synonym in the Union

zaton yet strong ia the influence of the condensa
ton Ofeapl;al that il maintains its ascendency"

There is very natural-we cannot say
laudable-curiosity TO know something more
than our reporters elsewhere relate of Mr..
Tweed's transactions in buying, assessing, and
renting to the City the property known as
National Hall. As the story printed elsewhere
goes, he has managed to buy at low rates
property valued at $4,000 to have it assessed
at only S2O,5OO Chow unsuspiciOus the odd
numbers lookD and to lease it to the City at
an unknown and undiscOverablo rental. Peo-
pie who would like to buy cheaply, be assessed
lightly, and rent proftably, arc eager to learn
from the experience of the chief Tammany
operator how this sort of thing is done. Tax
payers generally have the same wish, and,
moreover, are entitled to know.

The New Dominion Parliament was opened
yesterday by a speech from the Governor
General, in which the advantages and prospects
of union were duly Landed. In referring to
the High Commission-and that is the main
point of interest to us which he considered
he betrayed evident annoyance at the Home
Governments mode of dealing with Dominion
questions. This it was natural to anticipate
from the present officials of our semi-inde-
pendent and wholly irresponsible neighbor,
who have to all outward appearances been ig-
nOled in the negotiations, though represented
on the Commission. But our correspondence
from the Dominion indicates that better
feeling prevails among the people of Canada,
who rejoice TO see any approach toward set
Element of the differences between them and
such frightfully close and powerful neighbOrs.

Earl Granviles declaration that the High
Commission is limited in its authority will
possibly surprise and vex some who have in
considerably concluded that all claims are TO
he allowed and all bills admitted and paid at
once. and that tho decision of the Commission
Is to be final That this error is not confined
by any means to few in England, is indicated
by the declaration of the Earl; and it is
natural to suppose the same mistake prevails
here. 1t is clear, from the official correspond
ence, as well as the speech of Earl Granville,
that the report OF the Commission Is to be
submitted to the two Governments as the
basis of treaty, which, if accepted and
concluded, will put an end to the
disputes forever. While the labOrs of the Com
mission may, therefore, be briefly concluded,
they will not be final; and though we may
be assured of settlement and may know its
terms within few weeks, it is possible that
months may elapse before it is formally rati-
fed by treaty and claimants can count their
pay for damages. OF the final satisfactory
arrangement of the claims there need be, we
imagine hardly doubt, but it is well enough
that we should not be impatient as well as
saDguine.

authority between him and the United States
naval officers in South American waters at
