A THUNDERBOLT SHOT AT TAMMANY.
Fearful Indictment VS.. Democracy.

Fearful Indictment Us. Democracy.
From the Missouri Democrat of the 23d
September, we take the following fearful
Indictment against Tammany:
At length in the signal exposure and dis
comfiture of the Tammany Ring, cal
cium blaze lights up the practices by which
for years Democratic supremacy has been
maintained in New York, by which alone
the thirty-three electoral votes Of that
State were given to Seymour and Blair in
'6S, and through which those votes were
again to be given for a Democratic nOmi-
nee in '72. %
In '6S single agent of Tammany, Benz.
B. Rosenburg, at No. Center street, New
York, sold seven thousand naturalization
papers at prices agreed upon, wholesale
aud retail, and Tammany paid the clerk of
the court for issuing them. In that year
the three courts of the city executed over
forUy-one thousand naturalizations, this
being four times the average of all prece-
ding years and two and a half times the
amount of any preceding year. Not less
81, ,343 fraudulent naturalization papers are
k1totO1a to have been issued and scattered
over the State of New York in that year
by Democratic machinery, paid for by
Tammany. One of the agencies in this
work was at No. Center street, in the me-
tropolis, and employed twenty clerks. The
courts, owned by and dependent upon
Tammany, were parties to this wickedness.
The Supreme Court alone, in the fall Of
'69, procured $4,000 blank applications and
IS, 900 blank certificates of naturalization,
and naturalized over ten thousand persons
during fourteen days in October. From
October l to October 23d of that year the
Superior Court naturalized 26, 226. Appli-
cants were examined in gangs by judge
who excluded reporters the while, and by
another who boasted that he could exam
inc two a minute. In the Presidential
election of '6S, 155, 600 votes, We're cast by
men hired for the purpose, assembled at
designated headquarters, furnished with
fictitious names and residence numbers,
and with leader or captain, and who then
went out in gangs, from two to dozens into
nearly every part of the city, registering
many times each. When the day of cleo
ton came, these "repeaters," supplied
with intoxicating drinks and
changing coats, hats or caps, as occasion
required. commenced the work of voting
often and prolonged it till the polls closed.
Thus New York was carried by a majority
of only ten tbousdUd for Seymour and
Blair! If this fraud had elected that tick
ct, how should we have escaped fearful,
possibly bloody struggle
