1she Editor ef Tia Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, April 8.-The remedy for the late
!o"n election outrage is plain, aud, it seems to
0e easy to he had. It is: First, to Sc. aside the
electloo, a. being Illegal; aud. second. il it can
20 done, pnnish the scoundrels Who SO greatly
oufaged laW, Justice, and decency. There are
several grounds upon ghich the election can
legally be declared void.
First the ballots were not numbered; ret the
Nv requires and commands that this shall be
aoee There Il no use in saying that this part
81 eaa me Law has been repealed (as was done by
sen so1ne on the dap Of elecaon); it has not been
sepsaled, and is as binding. maudstory, and in
f@ant aa any other requirement OF the Election
Nv; Nv; This fact alone Will render tbs. election
foa or can be made to do 30.
~ daeeond, the law requires and commands ut
~ elections, general and special that the polls
.osH be closed At Z o'clock p. n., and that the
!uuees OF the same shall immediately proceed to
sonnt the ballots lin the way the law d,rects)
,na aec5e the result without recess or aaiourn-
s%sa9. and shall not deslst Or adjourn til this
w bean done! This is the Law, and it is inst
- 'aeena@. Legal. and obligatory Is any other
, 1876-04-09

clause Of the Election 1aw. But we all know
that this WAS not done.
The disregard and palrable vio}ation Of these
two most essential requirements Of tho law will
most assurcdly render void the whole
South Town election Of last Tuesday,
and set it aside "as though it
never had been," If the matter ID
brought before the proper tribunal-the Couaty
Court, and tho facta and the Law properly set
forth. IT not there ia no use at 31l in having
any election lava
Besides these clear and palpable violations OF
the Law, the vlilaiuous conduct Of Thornton, the
aham and illegal Judge. and his accomplices in
tampering with the b1llot-bo1es while in their
keeping, and tho outrageous y1llainy of dumping
the contents Of tho several boxes into one pro-
mscuous heap before counting. ase sufficient, or
ought to be. to vitiate and render void the cleo
ton, ard send the perpetrators to the penlten-
tiary, without any doubt or hesitation
Let proceedings, therefore, be commenced at
once to have the South Town election set aside,
and a new election called by the County Com
missioners. They will hardly dare refuse. But
if they do refuse then let the people, the source
OF all power and authority, do it. !" The Peo~
pie can do anything g,-overturn laws and con-
stitutione, principaiitieB and powers, ,-anything
if they ara united and determined.
It will not do to submit to this outrage. It ia
too nearly connected with the mosts vital inter-
es:s Of tho city and its rax-paying people. Sub
mission to the present City Charter and it's con-
sequences, which vas forcod upon the city by
fraud and corruption Of the g1ossest kind, has
injured Chicago millions OF dollars! There is
no counting the injury. Yet submission to this
latest outrage and infamy would bo worse, far
vorse, in It's effects J. Fl. 81.

RECENTLY George William Curtis
was publicly asked if he would sup
port President Grant if he were nomi-
mated for the third term by the Re-
publican party. He has made no re-
ply over his own signature, but Har-
per's Weekly, which he edits, but does
not own, answers the question in the
negative, which makes the reply more
emphatic than personal statement
would be. But really there was no
need of any response. The man in
the moon has about as much likelihood
OF being the Republican nominee for
the Centennial Presidency as the pres
emf incumbent of that office. Presi.
dent Grant has never said or done
anything to justify the suspicion that
be aspires to third term - Chic ago

that he dares not come back to the an
