t,on as q member of the State Democratic Execn

this step without consideration, and 1t Is probable

OF course we regret that Mr.. DEAN has seen prop

must be with feelings OF profound regret that they
find, after doing all within their power To fulfill

BROOKLYN'S BALLOT.



At the recent reform meeting held at the Brook
Ign Academy OF Music 1t was stated as fact that

ton. The speakers who addressed the meeting.
including cx-Lleuenant Governor Stewart
L. Woodford called upon District Attor-
ney Britton TO prosecute the frauds, to
bring to trial the parties now under Indictment,
and also those parties who were indicted on the
charge OF committing frauds at tho election IN

the frauds or 1859 revived subject which had
been forgotten by many people. Mr.. Samuel
d. Morris was District Attorney at that
time, and Immediately after the election, when 1t
became evident that gross frauds had been com.
mltted, that the ballot boxes had been tempered
with to very great extent. Mr. Morris
laid the matter before the Grand Jury,
which body found 'Hrue bils' OF In
dicment against about sixty persons including
ton ran very high in those DAYS. and District At
torney Morris had the sympathy and support OF the
people, The indicted parties retained Mr. Winches-
ter Brtton 1.-THE present District Attorney 10 de-
lend them, and after some delay mum.
Der OF cases were tried and the accused
convicted. The cases were appealed to the Gem
eral Term OF the Supreme Court, which subse.
quently convened at Pougnkeepsie. That tribu-
Justice 1a n" Danei Smith delivering the op1n
ION. A few months thereafter the District
Attorney entered notte prosequt in many
dencs was insufficient to secure convictions and
from that day the matter gradually faded from The
public mind until It was revived in the
manner ABOVE stated. There lew
OF the old indictments yet in the Dis
trict Attorneys ONCE; but 1t was the
opinion OF Mir. Morris before he left ONCE, and IS
st, that public interests and the ends OF Justice
have been subserved by the convictions already
had. The Committee of seventy.hve, however, de-
mand that these old indictments snail be tried,
and 1t Is SAID that the accused will
be arragned In the City Court next month, together
with those persons indicted on the charge OF com.
hitting frauds last fall.
District Attorney BRITrON, who was present at
the reform meeting was called TO the front
after the other speakers, and said that 1t did
not require those gentlemen 10 call upon him
or TO TX the limit they would give him to perform
the duties OF his Office. Whatever the vote might
have been, he believed he was the recognized DIS.
trct Attorney OF KiLgs county. When ne took the
oath OF Office he meant to do his duty, and winnie he
held that Ulce, without fear or favor politicians or
not, he would do IT, 1t was easy for man TO decry
against others, and all he asked OF the citizens OF
Brooklyn was 10 Judge OF HIM as they judged OF
everybody else-by their acts, and not by their lips
Mr.. BrittOn's speech was n very dignined one, and
was received with approval by the meeting.
The indictments procured last fall were some
fifteen In numbel, and the public are waiting TO see
what action the District Attorney Will Take in
regard TO them.

An Open Session and Exciting Comedy-A
Threatened Breach OF the Peace.
Yesterday morning, while the serious and solemn
melodrama OF the judicial inquiry was being Gu
acted IN secret session, Mr. Niles, OF the men,
bers OF the company, played the principal role in
an exciting comedy, 10 which the public were al
mitted gratis. The dialogue In this play was con-
fined TO Mr.. Niles and Mr.. higginboiham IL APP
pears that the latter gentleman was subpGnaed 10
appear at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at ten O'Clock
yesterday morning to testify In reference TO the
alleged abuses OF the Registers once. The above
named gentleman, however did not appear
until one p. NJ, and by that time the other
witnesses mad left III disgust. Mr.. Iligginbotham
sent In for Mr.. Niles, ana the latter gentleman
agreed 10 hear his testimony IN tne reading room.
Mr.. Niles then took occasion to call Mr. Higgin-
botnam TO TASK for mis- negligence In wasting the
time CT the committee, and Mr.. Hgginbotham an
swered somewhat hastily, wnereupon lar Niles
made use OF some language OF rather strong and
forclble nature, which resulted in Mr.. Higginbotham
taking an aggressive attitude and threatening to
break his cane over MIR Niles head movement
which orly elected quiet remark from

the conclusion that II the gentleman OF sanguin-
DRY intent earned out his threat, II would be the
last cane he would ever have the satisfaction OF

Mad DOES and HydrophobIn.

The latest addition to the malades which have
arisen considerable extent in Brooklyn is hydro
phObia. This, the most terrible of all known Attic
lions, has carried or two human beings, a girl
OF eleven years and boy OF four, within the past
two weeks. The victims alluded to were bitten by q
little black and tan dog on Park avenue in the
month OF February. Three other children were
bitten at the same time by the animal. and, Of
course the danger OF the appearance OF the disease
IN their system mas not yet passed away. on
Wednesday last a police officer OF the Ninth
precinct shot rabid dog In that district,
alter 1t mad left the mark of its poisonous angs in
the legs ana arms OF three boys, aged respectively
nine. ten and eleven years Other victims that
have not come to light thus lar may also nave been
CLEANED by the destructive canine before he fell by
the shot OF the policeman. But that Is
not all. Yesterday mad dog bit
boy In Herklmer street and then fastened
It's fangs In The legs OF morse and
COW. The fact that so many rabid propag at0rs Of
hydrophoba are rushing wildly, unmuzzled, through
the streets. dispensing passports across The River
Styx, should be sufficient reason for the autnorl-
ties to awaken TO a sense OF their duty and
impose q heavy fine upon the owners OF unmuZzed
dogs. In England tax Is imposed upon the own.
ers OF CANNES, and as sequence the streets are
not so Overrun by them as Is the case In this vcin
1ty Certain 1t Is that the lie or single human
beng worth more han all the canine species put
together. The Common Council may take cogni-
zance Of this fact at their session tomorrow alter
