posed 10 the reelection Of the present Senator from West

John L. Snyder, Republican candidate for
Assembly in tho lid District of Rensselaer,
County, is threatened with q detection through
an anti-dram-shop ticket. whose only result
can be to aid the Democracy. 1t is painful to
hear whispers also that some good Repubh-
cans, influenced by the factional advice of
superserviceable friends Of one of our Sem
ators, are also playing into the hands of the
Democrats for purely factional purposes. We
cannot afford, at such crisis, this kind of
work, and we beg all Republicans of that dis
trict who do not want Democrat to repre-
sent them to make special point of support
ing Mr.. Snyder.

A correspondent of TIE TRIBUNE gives al
amusing resume of the Hawkins case in the
Utah Courts The troubles of the several Mrs.
Hawkinses appear to have had an unexpected
influence upon the Church of Latter Day Saints,
or, at least, upon that portion of it which is
bound up in plurality of wives. The Hawkins
family have, therefore, some right to fame
The same writer suggests that the MoImons
are ready to compromise. Another correspond
ent, to whom this suggestion is unpalatable,
vigorously defends the prosecution of the
Mormons, and makes ample refutation of the
several points heretofore urged in favor of
the "letting- alone policy" 1t must be con-
fesscd that both justice and Judgment compel
a continuance of the proceedings begun against
the MormOnS.

1t is rather amusing to learn from the South
Carolina papers that the captured Ku-Klux, Of
whom there are several hundred, "havc plenty
to eat and are as comfortable as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances" Having
plenty to eat is the summum bonum of the average
Sand-lappers," as the profane call the South
CarOlinians. Renewed attention is drawn to
the Presidents proclamation suspending the
writ of habeaS corpus in ten counties of
South Carolina by supplementary document
restoring Marion County to its normal condi-
ton, and including Union County in the list
of those in which the privileges of the writ
are suspended. This is what clerical blunder
costs; one county was accidentally substituted
for the other in the original document.

Mr.. s. C. Cleveland Of The Yates County
Chronicle is the Republican nominee for Scna-
ator in the XXVIth Senatorial District, com
posed of Yates, Ontario, and Seneca Counties
For many years he edited and published the
only Republican newspaper in Yates County,
and during the trying period of the country,
when treason was rampant North as web as
South, he stood foremost among the faithful
He is O successful journalist, an able man, and

He is and has always been Demo-
crat Tweed g. Co. have sent largo
sums of money to that district to de-
feat Mr.. Cleveland and to elect Mr.. Johnson.
Some of those in sympathy with the Murphy
Custom House clique are secretly aiding to
defeat Mr.. Cleveland. If Johnson is elected,
he will servo his master Tweed with fidelity
and effect. Republicans of the XXVlth Dis
trict the country has right to look to you
to save this district from disgrace. If you
permit the Ring to elect Johnson, upon you
will rest the responsibility. You are largely
in the majority.

There was pitiful spectacle yesterday when
the cases of the poor prisoners of Ludlow-st.
Jail came up by proxy before Judge Barnard.
THE TRIBUNE has constantly and urgently
directed attention to the condition of these
unhappy persons, virtually imprisoned for
debt or held as witnesses against criminals
who go at large. One by one, they were per-
mitted to send up their recitals, and to the
qualification of the merciful, they were nearly
all discharged upon their own recognizance.
This is one of the abuses of the forms of JUS
tice which has grown up unnoticed and un-
checked; it was high time that it was cor
rected Now let us take care that the evil
never again rears its head.

A well-known poet lately said that not one
Indian survives in oil his songs because the
Indian race is passing away. But should the
race be therefore cheated, as the Osages are
are now, in tho survey and occupation Of their
landsf Indian Agent Gibson and a reputable
witness, in an interview with the President,
yesterday, showed how this crime is pe1pe-
trated by squatters and spectators. We en-
treat the attention of Congress, when it shall
assemble, to these complaints, which are
neither new nor few.
New-York tribune., 1871-11-04

American books. If English books are dear
it is because English publishers find it for
their advantage to print small editions IN
expensive style and charge high price. Ii
American books are cheap, it is because we
have large community of readers who
prefer inferior type and paper with cor
respondingly reduced price. Copyright or no
copyright, our market would certainly be
supplied with the quality of goods which the
public tasto required.
Neither does international copyright ncces-
sarily imply that the manufacture of reprints
in this country must be stopped. 1t only
provides that when we reprint book we
shall pay for it, and acquire by such payment
o right of property in it, Whether foreign
works designed for circulation in the United
States shall be printed in London and Edin-
burgh, or in New York, Boston, and Phila-
dclphia, does not depend in the least upon
the tenure Of literary property. 1t is an
economical question with which the tariff will
havo o great deal more to do than the copy
right bill.

To-Day is the last on which any
voter in our City can be registered
for our State and City Election on
Tuesday next. No one not regis
tered when the books are closed
this evening can vote at that cleo
ton unless he shall give to the
Tammany majority Of the Inspect
Ors a reason which will satisfy
them that he could not have reg
iStered.
City reader! we assume that y0u
are registered already-if you are
not, delay not another hour! You
may find a crowd in your way this
evening; you will find none this
morning. Register at once!
So far the Registration has been
fully up to the expectations of the
friends Ofhonest voting. The total
number of Registrations is now
129,O52; but this is yet about 13, 900
less than last year. If that was
fair, and there has been no mate
rial change in the voting popula-
ton of the City, there remain,
therefore, $4,000 voters who have
not yet placed their names on
the Register. Only THIS DAY re-
mains for the discharge of this
duty.
Speak to your neighbors, your
fellow-wOrkmen and all associates,
and urge each one to register at
once for the contest of next
Tuesday!

Fraud ut Elections. Frauds in the issue OF
Naturalization Certifcates-Frauds in Register
ing Illegal Voting Wholesale Repeating -
Systematic 'Miscounting-these aro the means
whereby the Democratic party carried our
State and foisted Hoffman into her hlghest
seat in 1868. Those frauds were mountainous
all but the willfully blind must have Deen
aware, weeks before Election, that they were
in preparation, and must have been morally
certain that they were perpetrated at the Eiec-
ton. Yet The World and The Albany Argus
stoutly insisted that the election was falr' tne
vote pure, and the count hOnest-that the ohe
Hundred and Fifty-six Thousand votes re-
turned as cast IN this City in '6S QOS,So3 for
Seymour and 1852 for Hofman) were nom
est and legal, though the State Census showed
less than $4,000 persons who claimed 10 DO
legal voters residing in our City in 1865, ana
thousands of these, it is well known, never
vote. The crushing array of facts proving
systematic and wholesale fraud at that cleo
ton, which was developed by o Committee OF
Congress, was slurred by them as though IL
were a chapter of Munchausen, and no art
was left untricd whereby that testimony could
be disparagcd and shon of it's proper effect.
The Democratic party, through its champions
and oraclcs, virtually adopted those frauds.
made them its own, and has ever since en-
joyed their fruits.
III. At all times, down to tho present, the
Democratic party has favored lax election laws
under which fraudulent votes might be polled
and honest votes miScounted with compare
tive impunity. Hence, the great army of re
"peaters"-a modern toadstool springing from
the mucli-heap of Democratic corruption. Of
all who were ever arrested for repeating"
and kindred frauds, at least ninety-nine in
every hundred were Democrats. Yet, 80 long
as elections are carried by fraud, so long will
Twceds and Garveys rule our nominal rulers.
Enough for the present, since there is no
time for long articles 1t seems clear to us
that tho Democratic party and the recently
developed frauds on our City Treasury stand
in such relations to each other that the ex-
posure ard punishment of the latter must, and
ought to- damage essentially the former.

AS general rule it is safe to decline giving money

even fearful women in weeds who inform you that

it is best perhaps to refer such supplants to relief
committees by whom their pretensions may be
scrutinized. Unfortunately, however, the game is
mostly played in the rural districts in which no such
committees exist Even there, however, little
cross-examinatiOn may develop the truth. One
soft-hearted gentleman, who was also the most
credulous of human beings, always gave when he
was asked, because it pleasanter to give than to
refuse. it was the opinion of those who knew him
best that he had relieved not less than five hundred
persons who had been shipwrecked in every sea and
upon every coast while the trusses and wooden legs
for which he had subscribed were innumerable.
