The BEER ELECTION TO BE Contested
The following memorial and protest was lodged
with the mayor last evening:
whereas, it has been clearly ascertain ed by care
full examination of the returns Of warden and in
spectors Of ward four, that more ballots cast
on the 9TH of May than there were names of voters
checked;
And, whereas, there is responsible party, a voter
who airms, and Is ready to swear, that he saw one
person throw more than one vote;
Aud, whereas, there are proven 10 nave been ball
lots dpnosited by unknown parties in the names of
voters who afterwards presented themselves at the
polls as In the cases OF Patrick Brosnihan and Ma
pOleon Gueriir;
And, whereas, other Irregularities are alleged,
which, If verified, as the above have been, would
vitiate the election;
And, whereas, II is essential to the safety OF the
ballot and to the security of the people, that such
corruptiOns should be instantly checked;
Therefore, tine undersigned, citizens OF Worcester,
request, in the interest of freedom and for all the
people, that the aforesaid corruptions be inquired
into before the late election is verified and that the
vote of the fourth ward be declared invalid and
thrown out, or such decision be had as is compat-
IDLE with the public safeiy and Justice.

NEW YORK, May lO.-A Washington dispatch
says that at the session of the cabinet on Tues
day last, while the Alabama claims were under
consideration, the condition OF our navy was
also referred to- The president said he had for
months past deplored the inctficency of our
coast defenCeS, and regretted that he could not
do anything TO strengthen them. After an in
terchange of opinion, it was finally decided that
every iron-cad of the navy should be put in
condition for immediate service. The secretary
of war was also instructed to make the coast de
fences, particularly on the southern seaboard
as impregnable as possible. What can be done
to put our navy in a state of efficiency is being
done, and, therefore, extraordinary efforts are
TO be promptly made to put the best of iron
clads in sea-going condition, so that, in few
weeks, there may be not less than fourteen ready
for orders. If necessary the work will be done
day and night.
Three rOn-clads have been sent to private
yards at Philadelphia for immediate repairs.
Those at Boston, Brooklyn and Norfolk are
being fitted out as rapidly as possible. The
be made ready without delay The cause of this
activity cannot be ascertained. The officials at
the navy department do not deny the prepare
tons, but profess ignorance as to the object Of
fitting them out.
Information has reached the navy department
that the Moro castle, guarding the entrance to
Havana harbor, is being rapidly strengthened,
and that 15-inch guns, pointing seward, are
now being put in position.
The orders to at out so many monitors at
this time eXcites suspicion that trouble is immi-
ncnt with Spain.

Mr.. Kellogg said before and after. He again
intimated that many of the delegates to Cincin-
natl were no better than those from louisiana
and called upon the senators from Georgia and
Texas TO state who the men were that assumed to
represent those states in the convention.
Mr.. Hamilton of TeXas-I can say for the
delegates from Texas that there was not car
pet-bagger among them. (Laughter).
Mr. Kellogg, at 5:15, yielded for a motion to
adjourn, and without acting upon the bill the
senate adjourned.

Mr.. Dawes moved to 20 into committee of the

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY sPY.l
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srr.I

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.
THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.
Among the crop of rumorS connected with the
presidential question, is one which alleges that
some OF Senator Morton's friends are intriguing
for bis nomination as president at Philadelphia
There probably is no foundation for the story,
though it is told with gusto in democratic circles.
Mr.. Morton is on the most intimate terms with
General Grant, and it is impossible that he
should be engaged in a scheme to supplant him.
ABOUT MIR, SUMNER.
Another of the rumors which one could wish
to be true is, that the senate is planning TO get
Mr. Sumner back at the head of the committee
on foreign relations. 1t is undoubtedly true
that Mr.. Sumner, by his record and by his re-
cent course, is aiding his party greatly. The
very fact that he declines TO Join the Cincinnati
movement, is powerful argument against it.
The most Jealous of the Grant senators, Ed
munds, Conkling, Morton, Chandler, and others,
are supporting Mr.. Sumner in his battle for
civil rights, while the senators in sympathy
with the Cincinnati movement arc opposing
him. This makes the gulf between them wider
and wider, and it is precisely what is wanted
just now.
THE COLORED VOTE.
1t is confidently predicted that Mr.. Greeley
will not be able TO detach any of the colored
vote south, since bis friends in the senate gen
orally oppose the civil rights bill.
THE TEXAS ELECTION CASE
OF Giddngs against Clarke has been postponed
10 Monday next, on account Of Clarke's illness.
1t is not expected that anybody but Clarke will
speak on the case, and there is no reason 10 sup.
pose that the house will not support the report
which gives the scat to the democratic contcs-
tant.
TARIFF on IRON.
After long debate the house took vote on
the item of iron in the tariff bill, and sustained
the Dawes bill by two majority.

NEW YORK, May 10.-The Tribune says that
among the democratic members of congress who
will support the Cincinnati presidential ticket
is Hon. James Brooks of New York. In the
course of conversation he said in his opinion
Greeley would receive in the democratic ma
tiOnal convention the votes of three-iOurthS of
New England's delegates, all those from New
York, the greater part of those from New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, several from Ohio and lndi-
ana, the entire delegations from Illinois
and Michigan, part of those from Mis-
souri,, all from Minnesota, Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Oregon, California, Kentucky and Tennessee,
and all the remainder of the south, except a
portion OF those from Georgia He thinks that
more than three-fourths of the convention will
90 to Baltimore intending TO endorse the Cmcin-
| natl movement, though he expects this course
will be warmly opposed by delegates from Ohio,
Indiana and Georgia. but only by gentlemen
whose views are generally extreme. There may
be, he thinks, a rupture in the convention, but
its influence will only strengthen Greeley among
the republicans.
