is the Ballot Box n Farce :

From the New YORK Herald.
There has been no election Of late in
which, from all appearances, there have
been such gross irregularities and tam.
pcriug with the ballot-hoX rs in the re-
cent election in North Carolina. The
politicians there are not n whit more
INSCRIPTIONS and bold IT, their dishon-
ct manipulation Of the ballots than
those Of New York have been, We are
Inclined to think, from the Information
we have published, that they beat the
old T0mmany politicians, They know
how to keep the ballots locked up aud
uncounlGd in certain localities. carrying
the boxes home with them, ill they
learn what number Of votes are lcquir-
ed to accomplish their object. Though
the law requires the shcrills Of the pre-.
cinctS and townships to publicly an
nOuncc the vote cast for all the candi-
dates from the Court House door with
IN Il specified time after the election,
this law has not been complied with in
several localities. Our correspondent
informs us that this was the ease in
Craven county. and that in Warren the
poll holders, contrary to law, carried
home baIlot-boXrs and did no. count
the votes till Tire day after. In the
First Congressional district, where Pool
resides, the boxes, il is --lid. were held
till it was found convenient 10 count
the ballots, In several con mites claimed
TO be Administration Republican. Tie
vote cast exceeded the voting pOpula-
ton.
In Duplin county the voting pOpnla-
ton j. put down at 1863; the number
OF votes actually reported is 3 ,l@j. And
20 in Cumberland, franklin. Halifax
Lcnoir, Nash, Robertson, and olhcrcoun-
ties, tie same suspicious irregularities
ana frauds are noticed. The mass of H.
legal and fraudulent votes pollcd APP
p9iontly is in the counties throughout
the state where the negroes are most
numerous and have the political power.
II seems evident that the Admui,ira-
ton Republicans have been playin. a
desperate game. Under such state Of
things the ballot is a farce. The T.cgis-
lgturc, when it meets, will undoubtcdlv
investigate the matter. Though Cald-
well may claim to have been elected
Governor by thousand or fifteen hun
drcd majority, he may yet find that
his bogus votes will not be rccog-
hlIcd. McrrimOn may. after all. be de-
rlarcd Governor by a handsome major
ity. We hope, ortlc sake of the puri-
ty of the baIIot-boX aud republican in
situations, the matter will he thorough
~ probcd and the fraud expose. which,
ever party may gain or lose by the OPP
Grafton. And we warn the Almni>-
trItion not To interfere but TO leave the
local authorities to decide upon and
control tboiro own affairs.
