of their late conduct, and its defence by GER
tain prrties, has been a national disgrace.
IL Is fact that vice will have its suffering
victims just as surely as virtue and worth will
have its reward. Whether we look upon it in
a national or an individual sense it is the
same the same in the magnitude of its import
ance. The case of the South demonstrates it.
Never was there system of slavery maintain
ed at the expense of so much cruelty and
crime as was that of our Soutbern States and
yet, amidst the shrieks of the lash and the wall
Of the oppressed, it was defended by the public,
the press, and the pulpit-it was even called
divine Surely the scourge of war which fell
SO heavily upon them should have convinced
them that vice will produce its sufferings as
certainly as virtue will be rewarded. But we
see the South still in distress, crime appalling
ly rampant, and their apologists of the North
become their culpable indicators.
But the days of political deception are fast
drawing to close. This has been fully DEM
onstrated in our late elections, particularly in
those of our county, in which the scandalous
frauds perpetrated by the Democratic party
were rebuked by its most prominent members,
who exhibited their disgust, in common with q
sufficient number of the rank and file, by defeat
ing the whole Democratic ticket.-Snnbary

An Outrageous Fraud.

At the lowest computation one thousand
Republicans were yesterday denied the right of
voting in the several wards by open fraud on
the part OF the registers. The names Of voters
who cast their ballots two weeks ago for Mayor
had been stricken off the registry to the number
OF from fifty to sixty in nearly every precinct
whilst middle names had been inserted in other
cases, so that the votef was denied his right of
franchise. Hundreds repaired to the courts
and paid for certificates of registration, but the
judges refused to allow them to vote on these
certificates, and their votes were lost. It APP
peared to be systematic business throughout
the city, and was effectual in its work, as there
was no appeal from the decision Of the judges
The present registry law is of itself an in
strument OF fraud, and means for its exercise
by unscrupulous men are sufficiently abundant
without res orting TO this outrage on the rights
of the citizen. We have also reports from the
neighboriug coHnties Of similar tampering with
the registry lists. The public sense of right
and justice viii demand of the Governor-elect
the appointment in future of men of sufficient
character and standing to the position of Regis
ter to give assurance that an end shall be put
to this species of fraud. We much mistake the
character of Mr.. Whyte if. after the work of
yesterday, any of these Registers will have an
opportunity to again exercise their VOCATION
