This is the gravest imputation yet, as if substantiated it would indicate a mo ditated fraud from the start: To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle; Tho official 'return of the Seventh District, Sixth Ward, as published in your issue of yestorday, gives the names of JoBeph H. Wilkieson and M. Ferris as tho canvassers for that district. Those aro fictitious names.

The canvassers wore Thomas Novins and James Naughton. The returns as given on tho night of the election were as follows Cunningham 401 Walter 201 yesterday's official report gives Cunningham 801 101 By what manipulation this change in the figures has been effected only tho initiated know, but tho undersigned can prove on eath that Mr. Walter recoived oven noro votes in that district than were credited to him by the canvassers on the night of election.

Then followed the statute, signed by Ledru Bollin, Lamar tine, and other Republicans who had employed it in tho suppression of meetings unfavorable to the Republic. This happy hit set all Paris laughing, and tho fun loving Parisians relinquished all thought if they had any of bloody insurrection. Why doesn't Kennedy try the amiably jocular A few jokes now and then might servo bettor' than locusts.

In tho absence of Parker Pillsbury, tho Revolution has gained in reputation what it is likely to loso now that he reappears in its editorial department. It is strange that the conductors of a papor started to advocate the independence of woman cannot rely for contributions on the manyclever women whose pens are now successfully busy. However, women having been turned out of the composing room, it is but a legi timate consequence men are taken into tho editors' office. It is to be expected that the Revolution will now lapse into the prurience and profanity above which it has lately given promise of rising. The return of P.

P. will give new encouragement to the projectors of the Woman's World, of Now York, and tho Woman's Journal, of Boston. The imitative capacity of the negro race is again proved by the proposed holding of a National Colored Labor Convention, which is called to meot in Washington next month. Its purpose is declared to be tho consideration of "the present status of colored labor in the United States and its relationship to American industry." This is a question of considerable magnitude. Congress has given les3 attention to it than to tho suffrage question.

It may be so far onlightonod by the doliberatious of the Washington Convention as to gain a faint glimmering of an idea that after all it is quite as important to a man that he Bhall be fed, clothed, and housed, and to that end that he shall have regular work, as that he shall be enabled to voto the regular ticket. A meeting held in New York last night to appoint delegates to the Convention is of interest as showing the strength and organization of tho colored working men in that city. They have twelve labor societies. First in numbers are the 'longshoremen, 500, who are followed by tho waiters, or saloonmen, as thoy call themselves, 400. Skilled labor is also represented by, among others, 50 ongiueors, 22 cabinet makers, 14 masons, and 21 printers.

The whito washcre, 110, organize undor the euphuistic name "Kaleoiniuors." Woman's Rights are not neglected and there is a Femalo Protoctivo Union with a membership of 55. The colored clorgy are more identified with the secular interests of their people than are their white brothron.

NAU Completion of the City Official Figures The Twenty second Ward Supervisor ship Alleged Fraudulent Alteration from the First District The Canvas sors Disavow it ISo ISeturns made from the Second District. The Committee on Kules and Election Returns of tho Common Council held an adjournod meeting, last evening, at the City Hall, Aid.

Whitney in the Chair. ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BETHBN. Tho return from tho First District of tho Twonty sec ond Word gives tho following; Hall, Republican 209 Walsh, Democrat 98 The figures havo been erased on tho return and rewritten. Mr. John L.

Spader, Captain Hall, too candidate, and others, claim that tho returns should be Hall, Bepublican 29 Walsh, 7S This difference of forty in Walsh's favor elects him over his Bopublicon opponent, Tho most serious part of the business is that one of the canvassers declares tho alteration to havo been mado after tha return had been, completed and delivered to tho propor officer. Mr. William D. Veeder claimed that tho Committee could not go behind the returns. All thoy had to do was to act upon tho figures then before them.

Their powers wero simply ministerial, not judicial. A clerical error might indeed, be put straight but where thero wero no returns, or whoro the returns for the several candidates agreed with tho total number cast, thoy could not intorfero. Tho law paid that they wero to take the returns as recoived from the City Clerk, and make up their conclusions from them. Aid. Whitney remarked that ho merely wished to ascertain if tho canvassers said that tho returns from tho First District, Twenty socond Ward, wore correct.

Mr. Veeder replied that to do so would bo stopping beyond their lino of duty. The Committee might ask tho eamo question in regard to ovory other vote cast in tho city. If any party felt aggrieved, thero was a way to obtain redress through tho courts. In tho caso of Hodges against Wilde last year, there was a chargo of fraud iu tho Sixteenth Ward, but tho Board of Supervisors said then, as he understood them to say now, that the result must be determined by tho returnB presented to thorn.

This position was sustained by a decision of the Court of Appeals the People against Cooke. Mr. John L. Spader said they did not objoet to tho canvassing of the returns in tho Twenty second Ward; but if after a return had passod from tho hands of tho Canvassers, it was found to havo been altered before it was acted upon by the Committee, what was thou the proper courso to be pursued The Committee could seo that there had been AN EBA8UBE AND A CHANGE in tho present instance, and ho submitted that the canvassers should be heard beforo any decision was ar ived at. Alderman Whitney Suppose we should ask tho Canvassers whether tho return is correct and thoy say it is not, do you suppose that wo havo a right to correct it? Mr.

Spador The Committoe would have an undoubted right lo correct an error. Colonel Bennett, ono of the Canvassers, who is here, wishes to Bay that THAT IS NOT THE BETDEN from tho First District. Mr. Silas D. Dutcher I have had some experience in thcBO mattors in the New York Board of Supervisors, and they havo always looked upon it as within their province to inalio such corrections.

Mr. Veeder The Court of Appeals has docided that you must go by your returns. Mr. Dutthcv But this is not the return which was made by the Cnnvasscrc. Aid.

Traviss thought the Committee might with justice hear what tho Canvassers had lo say bofore any action was taken upon the return. Mr. John B. Porter, one of tho Canvassers iu tho First District, after oxamining tho return, said, That is NOT THE FOOTING UP of tho vote. It was not as it is now when I signed it.

Aid. Whitney That is your signature Mr. Porter It is, sir. Some further conversation took place, and tho Com mittoo finally determined to act according to the figures found iu the return. BLANK EETUBNS.

In tho returns from tho Socond District, Twenty second Ward, the vote for Supervisor was loft blank. Tho Canvassers, when called upon for an explanation, wero unaoie to give any. Mr. Veeder said it was like no return at all, and the Committee took that view of tho case. MISSING.

The poll list of the Twentioth Ward, Third District, was found to be missing. AN EXCESS OF VOTES. In the First District. Twelfth Ward, there wad an ex cess of votes for Supervisor. Sheridan's vote was Riven as 485, which the Canvassers who woro present was uu error.

The vote as corrected Btooti as follows Sheridan 421 Mc Malum 270 91 Total 785 The Committee, having canvassed all the returns, ad journed. THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT The Ceunpaign Inaugurated try the Eiafaycitc Avenue Temperance Society Address toy Kov. W. HI. KB, Murray of Bostons.

Last night the first public mesting of tho fifth annual reunion of tho Lafayolto avouuo Toinper aneo Society was hold in Bov. Thoodore L. Church. Tho building was about two thirds filled, and fully one half of those present woro ladies. Professo" Caulfield, the organist of Graco Church, presided at th organ, and during the evening a number of temperance hymns wero Bung by tho members of the choi assisted by several gontlomca belonging to tho Philhar monic Society.

The platform wns occupied by Eov. Theodore L. Cny Mayor of tho avenue Tomperance Society, and Eov, W. H. If.

Murray, of Boa ton. After staging by tho choir, and prayor by Itsv. Mr. Culyor, ox Mayor Lambert; introduced Bov. Mr.

Murray, who said: The chartrc which might bo brought anainst the in telligent people of this generation, was that thoy are Cltncr ulluoit or uuwiuiug iu auy wuu uiiuiuulul ui tho dangers with which they aro threatened from drunkenness. That danger did not lio so much iu the fact that individuals might suffer and families be broken up, as that the vory existenco ol tno nation was at stako. The rum seliova woro at war wifii all clas3e3 of society, they feed on the evil tempera aud the violent paESions of mankind, and are even able to would the legislation of the country. All the iuteiosts of humanity and patriotism itself required that so great an ovil hliould bo suppressed. Kvery business man could boo (bat it was to hie interest to put down that traffic, and if appetite could be ruled out of tho question, ho had no doubt what tho verdict would bo in regard to it.

It would bo with the Temperanco movement as it was in tho cate of Slavery, iu the long run tho people would awako to tho fact that the rum traffic was aa unjust and illegal one then tho businessmen, hoih North and South, would unite for tho purjioso of having it cri), and could only rise upon tho ruins of all oilier trades. Did they boliovo that a government which rc.it ed solely fipon tlio ballot, could long endure when self respect was gone It was quite true that one bud man coula not overtnrow suiijui uut vu'jj uu umumivu number of evils and evil agents sprung up, aud uostilo clementB ave introduced into the govotmnunt, ihcn he tln ught that tlio oxistencc of tho government was at stake. Slnvery.feas proved that to be tho caso, for Ibey doubtless rcmomoerea tnac so wng as oiavory mis iiorr.onal in its application and local in its oll'ectt! it whs comparatively harmless, but when it sought its own advancement then the people began to perceive tiic evils of the system, and when it sougnt to auejt lo'isiaiion tho proplo were determined thut it should bo put down. Tim Hmior traffic affected legislation and threatonoii to dostroy tho glory of the Uepublio by destroying the industry und corrupting the virtuo of its citizens. History would teach them that no representative Government oould long survive when the majority of tho (ioating population are addicted to drunkenness.

Impatience and arrogance were characteristics of tho rum organization, it despised delay, and showed that it had strongth onougn 10 evauo every wl mu wuuuuuu ui iuu.u onuo. Makers and dealers in whiBky wero tho only men who had successfully resisted tho pay ment of the rvpnue tax. it would also be seen that tho rum organization np)reu to suape legislation to suit itself, and to intrench itself as slavery did within tho intrenchmenls of the law. Such was tlio fact, and as proof ho referred thom to assortions that tho rum sellers proposed to go to Albany and havo the Exd Law repealed. Nothing, howoYor, could describe the power of the organization so well as a roiorence to the tirennnderulinu influence It always exercised instate and National legislation.

In Massachusetts the domin ant party had a majority oi uuu. yut tuoy neanu tcd to take tho field squarely against the rum organiza tion. Tho great work ol the present generation was not to wnuta tiipir effortB in effectinc norsoual and individual reformations, but to ueo every mean3 to awaken tho moral seaso of the nation to tho ovils of the system, and in that manner banish it from the land, thus making the rum seller stand side by side with the Blave holder. (Applause.) Notwithstanding the fact that 00. 000 men and women died of drunkenness during tho last year, there was a class of men who advised that tho subject of temperance should not be mixed up with pol itics, it was nowover miuiig uiu auiuv uumou as Diavoij which in 1850, sought safety in legislation.

It appealed to Congress for protection, and in an evil hour it carried its point, and oven Webster fell beforo it. Tho abominable traffic was legalized and so walled in that for our years it was pushed against by a million of bayonets before it would be abolished. As it had beon with slavery, bo it now was with the rum organization an organization powerful by reason of its numbers and influence, and it goes to political aspirants for office, witn an omce in one nana ana a purse in tko othor, and says to thom, "Take one or both, only protect us." It might be taken for grauted that no professional politician over looked more than twelve months ahead; he oDly considered one thing, and that was how to attain his object. To do that ho buys and is bought and sold, and tho only Scriptural admonition no ever ouservea ia tu uu miuga iu men. He understands no science except the seiouco of mothanmiira.

arid of mathematics only so much as will make given number of votes count tho most, (loud applause), ana oy so mucu nu mm uu uuugui. im, so much will the rum organization bo successful.

the onlv crv heard was lor license. That clamor was raised by the rumsollers for lust the same reason tnat tue Biave owiiera aptiuiuou Congress for protection in 1850, for they knew that, if left exposed to the forces already in motion, and with every interest of society at war with thorn, they could not mnch longer hold their own. On every side thoy see opposition, and they seek to cloth themselves in the broadcloth of respectability, which in New York is called "license." (Applause,) The temperance men demand that detective public opinion shall be allowed to work tho case up unhindered by any one, and that the traffic shall stand on its own merits. For thirty years the American people would not understand the slavery question, and it was not until th dark shadow reached tho Capitol that the ueoplo perceived that the traffic in human flesh was opposed tO tneir OWn interests uuu buicvj, auu vuo aauio uuma good in tho caso of tho liquor traffic, for tho people aro dull and Btupid not to perceive their danger and tho strength which is allied against them. The temperance men want timo in order that tho arguments of tho reform may be duly presentod in oil their phases, and they ask from tho Legislature fair fight, and that it will not put.

a sword into the handa of their foe or cover tho traffic with a shield, but let It stand by itself and thon tho tomperance men will mnrahaltho moral and religions forces of America niiist it. A Eepublicanism in Brooklyn ib failing because morality is failing, for it was well known that those in authority would never rise niguer tmm iuwjo rruu juttuum mmc. Drunken voters here mean drunken offlco holdere thero, and an insane crew will tmor havo a crazy, pilot. Such were the teachings of history, for drunkenness, and vice among publio men always proved that.mprality was at a low ebb among the groat mass of tho. people.

Tho shameful sceno at th.3 inauguration of '65, tho intoxication whioh prevailed in tho and tho disgraceful scones in the lower Houso had aado lne history of the country for the last few years only too famous. The. reeling President was only type of Tennessee drunkenness and the drivelling tones in which ho was. introduced; to tho people by Wm. H.

Poor Dick Yates fairly represented hw State where no candidate could bo elected unlesB na was able tomako a roaring stump speech, and then drink the. crowd drunk on raw whisky.

TUo reform then would co on booause principles were correct, its progress fccqoaceat, and The Grand Jury in Session Who and Wnat Tlicy Arc The Motive of the STnnd Wos It a Political or a Fc cuniary Bodge 7 The great body of the Democratic party of Brooklyn, who have felt it one of their chief motives for opposing Republicanism, that tho lattor party has so often trampled on the ballot box and popular rights, refused as long as possible to credit the charges so freely uttered, that the election returns had for once boon tampered with by, instead of against, Democrats. The opening of tho scaled returns in tho City Clerk's offlco, and of the duplicates in tho Court House, both showing evident alteration and clumsy, barefaced forgery, makes the Democrats more earnest and determined than their opponents can bo, that tho fraud should bo sifted to the bottom. Up to this time there had been a doubt whether the District Attorney was not carried away by his well known antipathy to Borne of the City Hall politicians and by his natural vehemence of temperament when once fairly interested. Thero were not wanting many who to use his own parase, that he was "playing a game of bluff," but that he was getting up a sensation for his own benefit as a political capitalist. One look at the manipulated returns, however, is quite enough to convince any Democrat that no matter what motives Mr.

Morris may add to tho legitimate official one, he is acting in tho necessary performance of his obvious and imperative duty; and that, whether it puts him or any. othcrfpolitician upward or downward in the scale of party influence, he is on tho ground the whole party must occupy, or perish. Instead of being checked he must be prompted and urged should he hesitate or delay, or suspend his undertaking to unearth these frauds.

Thoy seem from tho Directory whore all but four or five of the names appear to be substantial men of bueiness. But then duty in the matter is merely formal. They may obstruct the courso of justice if they please, by refusing to find bills of indictment. The universal feeling outside is that the District 'Attorney should Iobo no timb in laying his facts before them, nor thoy in indicting the partios against whom the evidence tells; and then tho District Attorney will havo the whole responsibility of bringing the parties promptly to trial. men say that the indictments will be the end of it, ana that tho District Attorney only aims to get party lenders indicted so as to become master of tho political situation.

There will be time enough to Bee about this afterwards. The strong public feeling that demands the rejection of the forged returns, will be equally potent to insist on the prompt trial of every indictment that may be found. To day the Supervisors are the men to whom their party and the public look for a bold and independent discharge of duty when they are through, the District Attorney wili be held to as rigid a responsibility as the Supervisors aro held now. WHO PUT UP THE JOB Two theories are broached as to who instigated ond meant to profit by the" forgeries. The N.

Y. Tribune says it was a gambling operation, outside of polities' Tho World says it was the "Commission King." The is nearer right in this, and the ForU utterly wrong, as wo shall show. Tho Tribune says; There is a story current that this decision is mado in the interest of certain gamblers who havo heavy bets on Cunningham. It is said that tho Canvassers had determined to give Walter tho certificate, but wore prevailed upon to change their course to favor tho sporting men. If this is true, the act has a deeper degree of crime than the main fact of falsifying the returns.

Per contra, the World undertakes to go into details re. specting the inside history of the election, and shows to every Brooklyn politician that it either does not know, or docs not want to tell, how matters really stand. It EayB Where the influence of the Water Board and the Fire Department would not suffice to defeat the Democrat or tho Kopublican who was obnoxious to the ring," the canvassers were put in motion, and thoy havo rarely failed to accomplish the work assigned them, aided as thoy were by timely information, brought them by the leadors of the "ring," of just how much sharp was necessary. Thus, tho notorions ex Provost Marshal Sam Maddox, who has succeeded in commending a wood pavement to the Water Board, was "counted in" over a roliablo and worthy Democrat, in a iti rein. nf1.A.

ftTllllirtfl VIltJTlitlfT against Maddox. But for this wo would havo had ft unanimous Democratic delegation from Kings County. To compensate for this, the citizens' candidate for Alderman in tho Thirteenth Ward was "couutod out" and a tool of the Bine "counted in." An attempt was mado to "count in" the notorious Jake Worth, who was running as a Bepublican in the Sixth District against a canablo and worthy Democrat but this wns defeated by the interference of Republicans who did not wish to disgraced with Worth as their representative. The Filth Assembly District was an especially flagrant example. Xlio contost noro was wuouy on local issues.

Goodrich, the nominal Bepublican candidate, was supported by a great body of Democrats, on issues relative to Prospcet Park and the Water Board, while ho was denounced and actively opposed by Kopublican leaders interested in norpotuatinc tho obnoxious Com missions, and by tho Bepublican organ. One would think that, at such a purely non pont.icai contost, perfect fairness would have been observed but not so. Nt. Goodrich, to whose election the loading Democrats of his district boar ready testimony, waB counted out," under the directions of the "ring." With respect to the contest for Sheriff, it should not be prejudged, because the courts will probably have to PBes noon it. We can say, however, that Mr.

Cunningham, tho Democratic candidate, is every whit. eb worthy and capable a3 his Bepublican competitor. Ho has been made the scapegoat for men who are loss worthy personally, aud moro culpable politically, than himself. Smarting undor the outrages committed upon (hem by tho "Binfe'," the Domocracy of Kiugs Uounty seem lo nave expeuueu muii wium uyuii iumi vandidnto for Sheriff.

Tho prompt action of Jurtgo Barnard and District Attorney Morris, whose Domocracy cannot bo impeached, is warmly commeuuea, ana. win oe poieux for good. THE IVTCTS IN THE CASE. The Eagle is sometimes called a "Bing organ," and sometimes the P.ing politicians charge it with being "a digorganizer." Its habitual readers know that it is tho exponent of tho principles and ideas of its proprietor, which aro those of any well meaning, intelligent Dem ocrat, who makes nothing by politics, and supports or oppoFCB either the Bing, or Judgo Morri3, or any other loader of influonee, according as they are forwarding or damaging tho groat popular intorost of honost government through tha Democratic party. Wo aro thoroloro to look dispassionately on the several charges in tho World agoinEt tho so called Bing.

It ia probable Water Commission had a point to carry 'in tho Seventh Assembly District but it was agaiast instead of for Sam Maddox. Tho JforM has that story oiactly up sido down. Mr. Maddox has a wood pavoment, but the Water Commission stuck to Micolson and A. Millor and never laid a yard of tho Maddox pavement.

In the Seventh District, "the reliable aud worthy Democrat" who tho World says ma against Maddox, was David Brower, a sub ongincor or clerk in the employ of the Water Commission. Maddox the Water Board fought, if they fought anybody, Brower thoy supported, if they supported anybody. Maddox had no idea of running until Brower was nominated. He had refused before, Finding a Water Board employe put up by tho Democrats, Sam jumped in and carried tho district.carrying evon the Democratic Fourteenth Ward, on tho special issue of hostility to the Water Board. If tho Water Board had been in the couutmg business, they would havo counted Maddox out instead of in.

Aa for Worth, it is notc rious in local politics that the gentleman who beat him was especially urged by tho Water Board. All Worth's counting against Haver would havo been count ing against tho Water Board. As to Mr. Goodrich the World is nearer right. The Water Board did hght him, thoir Bepublican half as strongly as their Democratic half.

They charge the Eagle with heMnc Goodrich; and we confess to having tried to give him, as well as Maddox. fairer play than with tho double headed opposition of the Water Board they would otherwise have got. For party reasons wo wanted them both beaten but for tho good of tho party itself we were not sorry to see Mr. Brower defeated, as a check upon tho too great influence of the Water Commission inlocal politics. Butabontthefrauds, we, who have bothered and weakened tho Water and all other Commissions more than any single influence in Brooklyn, declare our conviction that no Commission, and no Bing, had anything to do with the wretched for gery in the Sixth and other words.

Tho reasons for acquitting them are evident, In the first place, the Commission element were strongly OPPOSED TO CUNNINGHAMS nomination. AsthoEAOM saidboforo election, none of tho ticket suited the "Bing." Kalbfloisoh was supported by McLaughlin, Kinsella, Kingsley, McCue and the wiser leaders and the "boys" on the one hand and the exquisites on tha other, were forced unwillingly to take him. Then the "boys" demanded Cunningham, and he was nominated against the wish 'of all the leaders above named except McLaughlin. The "Commission Bing" influence wanted a ticket of "new men'' throughout, and would have been probably gladtoBeo Cunningham laid ont, as a caution to the "boys" not to dictate nominations again. Tho "Commission Bing" were the last men that would have gone out of their way to cheat Cunningham in.

HOW IT WAS DONE. Tho parties whom the World accuses of cheating for along said he could not be elected. The boys said he could, and put their money on it. Finding him beaten, the ronghB ond gamblers found themselves out of pocket. To aavo thoir stakes thoy executed, in a way as blundering and clumBy as it was rascally and unprincipled, tho alterations of enough returns to change the result.

The closer ono looks into the way it was done, tho moro certain it is that tho skill of the "ring" was not concerned. It was the blundering attempt of few primary election ballot Btuffers to cheat the people of tho county. Among the many reasons for regretting so shameful and foolish a proceeding, ono is that it will thrust down too low, a class of politicians who if they behove themselves decently are really of a great deal of use, as a check and sot off to tho more adroit and poiisusd politicians, who aro trying to substitute army discipline in the party organization for tho old time free scramble for nominations and ascendancy. IT IS HUMIIiIATINO to think that an attempt to defraud on opponent of bis election, was not even dictated by so insufficient an excuse as excess of partisan feeling. To cheat for the party's benefit is bad enough, but to cheat ond miserably foil, and disgrace the party and the county, merely to eave a few men from losing election bets, which they had.

no logol right to moke, is infinitely worse. As to who committed tho frauds, that is a question for the Grand Jtoy. It is not right to assume that it was the canvassers. There were in each, district two poll clerks, appointed by tho New York Police Commissionors, two of whom are Republicans and two Democrats. These poll clerks were the parties whose buBineos it was to write up tho returns.

Tim canvassers merely had to sign, thorn. Where the fig ures have beonTilterod, the first presumption would bo against ono or othor of tho poll clerks, whoso names, unlike those of tho Inspectors and canvassers, were not published to tho people.

Its vnlne as an Advertising Medium is therefore np parent Who Falsified Figures. Mr. John Cunningham was the candidate of the Democratic party for the office of Sheriff of Kings. As such ho was abused with a virulence larely disgracing the annals of our local contests. He is an old man, a poor man, a hardworking Democrat, a bravo man, who had long and faithfully served the public.

There were in his case a conjuncture of all these deserts to stimulate his supporters to work hard and hope earnestly for his election. But his "going baok" on the volunteer firemen he had led so long, and lending his aid to the formation of a "Commission," had forfeited his popularity among the young men while exaggerated stories of his want of educational accomplishments made him a weak candidate among other portions of the constituency. The result was that he polled fewer votes than his Republican opponent, Ex Alderman Walter. Such at least is the conviction we cannot, though with great reluctance, avoid and, as our habit and duty is, that which becomes our conviction on public affaira of local interest, we forthwith publish as such. So long as there was opportunity to defend Mr.

Canning ham as a candidate, against the opposition ho encountered, the Eagle did not neglect it. So long as, the election being over, there was any zoom for reasonable honest doubt of the majority of Mr. 'Walter, the Eagle held its judgment in suspense, hoping and even expecting that the official figures might disclose errors in the original reports that indicated Walter's success. But while this journal preferred that Mr. Cunningham, rather than Mr.

Walter, should be elected by the people, it has no sympathy or tolerance for the outrageous idea that it is better to have Mr. Cunningham or any other Democrat cheated into office by the canvassers, than to have Mr. Walter or any other Republican voted into the office by the people. The people are supremo. What they decide, is the absolute right and best.

Before election the Democratic nominee was Cunningham. After election, the choice of the majority of the people is the Sheriff elect, according to Democratic principle. Democracy means the rule of the people. Apart from the fraud and law breaking, we hold it un Democratic not to go for the man that polled most votes. The reasons that put us on Cunningham's side while the rosult was in doubt, compel us to go for Walter since it has become evident that the people elected him.

It was in this view of Democracy that we were slow to believe the District Attorney had not found a mare's ne3t, when ho talked of systematic forgery of election returns, in the professed interest of the Democratic candidate for Sheriff. We could understand fraud at an election, in aid of a party that rewarded the scandalous Sixteenth Ward Assembly forgery of "1868 by running the beneficiary of that operation for Presidential Elector, the very same year. We could believe anything in the way of manipulating returns, in the interest of tho party that nevor ceases to vilify the masses and legislate power out of the people's hands. But fraud on the popular vote in the assumed interest of the popular party, is something in its nature monstrous and incredible. Not until the returns were unsealed, the forgeries visible and the conspiracy laid bare, could Democrats believe that any such foul tampering with the verdict of the people had been attempted to be executed in then name.

The Republicans must he allowed still to have a monopoly of interference with popular rights. Democracy ceases to be itself, it ceases to have any title to live, if it should upset the ballot box and make the canvassers instead of the people the source of sovereignty and the elector of public officers. The returns given by the canvassers to tho police on election night represent Mr. Walter as having S00 majority over Mr. Cunningham.

The substantial accuracy of these police returns, hitherto open to doubt, is now confirmed: first, by their correspondence, except in a few districts hereafter to be alluded to, with the official vote for Sheriff; and next, by their entice correspondence with the official vote for Mayor and other local officers. If we had found the police returns often or largely inaccurate, we might consider their figures no argument against tho correctness of tho official vote in the cases where the discrepancies are largo and alterations on the returns are visible. But when we find, as wo do, that all through tho city, on every officer but Sheriff, the police returns tally with the official returns and that on Sheriff they tally right along, through the Fir3t, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Wards, we are forced to conclude, when a great disparity suddenly arises in the Sixth Ward, that one or the other return has been tampered with, or it would not differ from the other. Now, which was tampered with Did the Sixth Ward police tam por with the vote given them by the canvassers, on their way to tho Station House on election night, or did the canvassers or poll clerks fix up a bogus return next morning, before handing the document to the Supervisor That is the simple question. As to tho time Wbon the police took tho figures from the canvassers to the Station house, the election was all in doubt.

They had no idea which way the thing was going. Thoy had no more reason for altering tho Sheriff vote than the Street Commissioner or the Superintendent of Poor. It is proven by the official figures that they handed in the Mayor and Street Cbmmissioner figures precisely as tho canvassers gave them. How at that time could they or anybody have any notion of changing the figures on Sheriff? But next morning, between the time when these original figures were handed in by the police, and the hour when the document was left with the Supervisor, there was a motive for alteration. The vote for Sheriff was all in, was known to be closer than any other, and to be against Cunningham, the candidate of the party which appointed both canvassers, and had one of the two poll clerks.

Then there was opportunity, and there was motive, neither of which the police had the night before, for altering Sheriff, and for altering no other figures. And, accordingly, we find on looking at the documents, both tho City Clerk's copy and the Supervisors' copy, that there have been alterations. Alterations only on Sheriff where alone there was a close enough struggle revealed by the morning papers, to make it possible to change a result. Alterations, visibly, from the figures given to the police, that elected Walt er, to other figures, that would suffice to elect Cunningham. Thus we have, in outline, a strong chain of circumstantial evidence.

To examine a speci" men link, separately, will exhibit it not merely strong, but unbreakable. We take the firkt case reported yesterday the Seventh District of the Sixth Ward. The police return gives Cunningham 401, Walter 201. The official return gives these same figures, but with a "5' apparently written over the "4" and a 'T'made out of the "2" thus transferring 100 of Walter's supposed vote to Cunningham. Which of these Sheriff returns, the police or official, cor responds with the vote of the same district on other candidates Kalbfleisch got 401, and Furey 392.

Is it likely that Cunningham got 501, rather than 401 On the other side, Little got 193, and MoLeer 202. Is it likely that Walter got but 101 or will anybody doubt that the 201 was more like his real vote We are asked to believe, not only that the police report, confessedly right on every other name, was wrong 100 each way on Cunningham; but that the Canvassers, after writing down the same figures they had given to tho police, found an error and corrected it; found that Cunningham polled 100 more votes th'an Kalbfleisch, and 109 more than Furey There is no politician of either party that does not know this Seventh District Sixth Ward return, as changed, to be an impudent forgery and there is no honest man of either party that will not declare it to be so. We say then, first, that the police figures are proven substantially correct, and consequently that Cunningham is in the minority of votes; secondly, that the changed figures that appear to elect him are a scandalous forgery; and thirdly, that from tho uniformity of manner of the alterations, in four distinct districts, in each of which precisely tho same change of 100 vote3 has been made from one side to tho other, there was not a mere isolated forgery hero and thero, but a conspiracy, a design, an olaborate end arranged uchomo to defeat the will of the people; and therein not merely to disgrace the The Eev.

It is useless for any good we could not better have without it; it is susceptible of all manner of abuse, and at its best is but a surplusage and an obstruction.

A wretched anachronism, it owes its prolongation down to this age of open Courts and fair publio trials, to its abominable feature of affeoted secresy. For any real purpose of bringing crime to light and offenders to trial, it is rendered superfluous by the lower Courts of magistracy. With Justices to hear preliminary examinations, and higher Courts to try such persons as the Justice finds a prima facie case against, the Grand Jury can be operative only as a shield to screen the offender, instead of a sword of justice to smite him. Nevertheless this antiquated relic of feudalism remains in our system of criminal jurisprudence, and while it stands as a dark entrance room before the portals of the Temple of Justice, there is no way to the open, public, People's Hall of judiciary beyond, except through its gloomy precincts. The Grand Jury now sitting is not one that lends any radiance to illumine the dark recesses of the cavern it inhabits.

The public will ignore this impalpable and invisible grand jury, and look straight to their own elected officer, the District Attorney, as the one responsible agent for not merely getting indictments, but getting them tried in open Court. Indictments are a mere formality trials are what is wanted. Every one of the twenty odd thousand Democrats who voted for Mr. Cunningham is equally under a cloud, until the story of those altered figures is told in open Court. Every Radical malignant can impute fraud'all round among Democrats, until the men the evidence points to are arraigned in open Court.

Under cover of Grand Jury secresy, Mr. Libby and his associates may "indict" a hundred, or a thousand, or the whole Democratic party. What justice and the public demand is, that there shall be no interval between the scandal of indictments, and the vindication of innocence, or the public conviction of guilt. The sword of justice has been lifted energetically, but not more vigorously than the importance of the case demands. But it must not be held long poised in mid air, threatening alike the many innocent and the few guilty.

Uflao jDi.ty of the Canvassing S2oar.il. The Board of Supervisors have before them returns which we demonstrate, and which they all know, to be fraudulent and forged in respect to the vote for Sheriff. It is an important and somewhat difficult question, what is the duty and power of the Board in the premises. General Crooke and President Osborne, one of each party, and the only lawyers in the Board, yesterday correctly laid down the law, showing the Board's province to be purely ministerial. They stand in relation to the district returns, as the district canvassers stand in relation to the voter's ballot.

Their business is, not to call in the party and take his oral explanation of what he wanted to do. Their duty is to deal with the fact before them. If it be clearly a ballot, though east absurdly, for some impossible person or imaginary name, the Inspectors are bound to take it, and the district canvassers to count it in their total. So if tho return be blotched and scratched and altered, still the Board of Canvassers, as long as they can make it out to be a return, in regular form, may not do otherwise than count it in with the rest, leaving any party aggrieved to his legal remedy elsewhere, if it vitiate the genuine total This is undoubtedly the law, as laid down in the books as well as by Mr. Osborne and General Crooke.

But there must be a limit somewhere, both to what constitutes a legal ballot and what constitutes a regular return. If a voter brought a ballot of absurd dimensions, the Inspector would surely have a right to re fuso to fill the ballot box with it to the exclusion of every subsequent ballot. So, if a return be sent in so scrawled that nobody could read it; the Board might lawfully indeed they could do nothing else throw it out entirely from the count. In this case the obnoxious returns are legible so far as the altered figures are concerned, but they are evidently fraudulent and if the Board so judge, they may surely reject them. If reckless or drunken canvassers sent in a return regular in form, yet presenting suck monstrous figures say twenty thousand votes for one candidate as were clearly absurd and liable to make tho total preposterous, the Board must, if they have any functions beyond those of an automaton reckoner or mechanical adder, have a right to refuse to vitiate the result of the canvass by accepting such an absurdity.

This case differs from the extreme one we suppose, only in degree.

Of the days of '98 in Ireland a story is told of a band of patriots who to spite an obnoxious banker destroyed all his notes they could lay their hands on the course of the Cuban leaders in destroying the plantations, sugar houses and machinery seems to be about as sensible. One of the Cuban organs gravely says "Cenpedes.in the 0cstmctionoi the making Cuba a desert, has it iu liin power to strike at Spain a more terrible blow than the Spaniards doom possible." It may be a terrible blow to the Spaniards, but how will it be to the Cubans The worst thing that can happen to the Spaniards would be the loss of the Island.

Turning the Island into a desert may bo a means to the accomplishment of Cuban independence, and to reconcile Spain to its loss but of what use will the desert be to the Cubans Dctng Out. The target company nuisance has almost died out. Once in a while a com pany is seen, but it looks bike a snipe out of season, forlorn and dejeoted. The ranks are slim, the supply of pewter prizes scant the band plays dispiritedly and the African citizen who brings up the rear looks as though he felt the degradation of his position. Election is over, and all the afflictions of a political campaign should end with it.

The editor of the Revolution, learning a lesson from clergymen who puff sowing machines, clothcB. wringers, watches and cough lozenges, prints a first rato notice of a new stylo of corsot, and says she has received "some nicely fitting ones." Sho specially recommends those of "scar let cloth" which no doubt are stylish, or what in the unstudied phrase of the time might bo called "nobby." Tho description of tho articles is very interesting and it is a pity it cannot bo reproduced in full. But, Mrs. Stanton, what is to become of the dress reform if woman clings to tho corset Is it not a badge of servitude and inferiority which in this era of Equality she should cast aside forever What are corsets when ballots are imminent 4 The Nation says that Greeloy ran behind his ticket in the country because "the farmers have not yet forgiven him for signing Jefferson Davis's bail bond." It finds in tho final fttiluro of the "American Conflict" further proof of tho disfavor into which' Greeley fell through his trip to Richmond. Before the author became bondsman the wcrk had "been selling largely in the small but after that the publishers "began to lqso money" and there was an ultimate "Iobs of 50, 000 on the publication." Thero is no doubt that Greeley incurred the hostility of members of his own party by his unsolicited and unnecessary appearance in the interest of the ex President of the Confederacy not that they cared much whether DaviB was bailed or not, but because they regarded tho proceeding as fresh and offensive proof of Greeley's fussy vanity and itching to have a porconal finger in every public pie.

This no doubt impaired the salo of the "American Conflict," but may there not have bBn other masons for its ailure Is it not possible that tho public wearied of tho swash of war Jalk and war writing It was not surprising that the literary specialty was overworked. And it is not surprising that the "cheaply sonlimental fictions speedily grew nauseating, and in time even the sober histories became a drug. Kennedy might learn a useful lesson from his official cotemporary, M. Piotri, Prefoct of Police in Paris. Kennedy is not a humorist.

Meeting of the Association of Ball Players in the Assembly Chamber, at Albany The New Elected Officers ItVltat Constitutes a Professional Club and what an Amateur Club The Committees for the Tear Blow the Business of the Association was Facilitated, Albany, Nov, 11, 1869. Dkae Eagle A more harmonious and thoroughly pleasant session of the New Tork State Assocla (ion never was held than tho one that convonod this morning in tho Assembly Chamber of the State Cap. itol. Nothing occurred to mar tho proceedings or to engender bad blood, and every delegate departed for his home well satisfied with tho rosult. The Eccording Secretary, Mr.

M. J. Kelly, made his headquarters at the Delavan House on the day previous to the day of meeting, and here recoived tho delegates and thoir applications and credentials. Some of tho delegates who had "axes to grind," wore on hand also, but the great majority reached Albany on Thursday morning. The delegates from your city and New York came from New York in thesteamor Drew, and from all accounts must have had a very jolly time on tho passage CANVASSING.

As soon as breakfast was over the delogatos assembled in tho hall of the Dolevan and began thoir canvassing. It was soon learned that Mr. Baruum, of the Gotham Club of New York, was a candidate for the Presidency; also that the Brooklyn delegates affected Mr. Portor, of the Central City Club, of Syracuse, and wero prepared to urge his election. It was manifest, however, that if his name was offered, it would receive tho unanimous and strenuous opposition of the western delegates.

It did not appear that the opposition was to tho gentleman himself, but to the club whioh ho represented. New York ond Brooklyn could not appreciate fairly the strong opposition to this club, but, although the balance of power in the Convention was held by Brooklyn and Now York, as it subsequently appeared they gracefully yielded their position for the sake of harmony, and conceding the right of tha West to that position, let the West, em delegates nominate the man. The Brooklyn delegates wero firm in the urging of Mr. John Sterling, of the Star Club, for tho first Vice Presidency, and Mr, W. D.

Jones, of tho Alpha Club, for the Judgo Advocateship of the Eastern Division. These wero tho officers upon which thero was much discussion. Finding that it was tho disposition of the delegates to settle all matters amicably, and finding also that nearly all the delegates were present. A CAUCUS was proposed. Accordingly at ten o'clock in the morning, all of the delegates who had reported themselves to tho Secretary, wero invited to meet in caucus in Parlor P.

Judge Yoorliies, of the Eckford Club, was chosen Chairman, and Mr. W. C. Hudson, of tho Atlantic Club, Secretary. Tho Chairman explained the object of the call, stating that by their action thero the business of the Association would be much facih'tated, ho also announced that ho was not a candidato for re olection to Presidoncy.

Upon tho motion of Mr, TaBsie a Commit teo composed of Mos3re. Tassie, Wildey, Miller, Mattood and Cantwell was appointed to amo officers for tho following year. Tho Committee withdrew, but shortly returned and requested that the Western delegatos should withdraw and sattlo upon a candidato, which thoy did, and finally Bettled upon Mr, R. B. Dennis of the Auburn City Club, of Auburn, N.

and of tho Auburn City News, but not without some struggling, for upon tho first ballot, thoy arrived at a dead lock, and not until somo late arrivals put in an appearance and voted for Mr. Dennis was ho nominated. Tho Committee then reported to the Caucus tho report was adopted and the tho caucus pledged itself to support the candidates then nainod. After tho transaction of some further unimportant business the Caucus adjourned and the delegates proceeded to the Capitol. THE SESSION OF THE ASSOCIATION.

At half past eleven o'clock tho President, Judge Voor hics, ascended to the desk and called the Association to order. He congratulated the Association upon tho vast interest that was takon in what had really become tho National Game. He alluded to tho death of ono who had sat as a dolcgato from the Cypress Club in the last Convention) and then asked the pleasure of tho Association. The regular order of business was comnjoncsd. The minutc3 wore read by Secretary Kelly, aud adopted with out correction.

The President stated that he had no re port to make, save that tho Association was progressing. Tho Eccording Secretary roportod that he had received fourteen new applications; that eighteen clubs had forfeited membership by failing to comply with the law and obligations of tho Association; that he had received isnd answered soventy five letters and sent ninety, six notices of tho moeting of the Association Report adopted. Tho Corresponding Secretary reported that he had received and answered thirty throe letters. The report of tho Judiciary Committee of tho Eastern Division, showed the fact that no disputes had arisen to call for the action of the Committee. In the absence of tho Chairman of tho Judiciary Commit teo of tho Westovn Division, Mr.

Gariloia, reported that with tho exception of Pastime vs. Buckskin case, thero had been no business before that committee. The report of tho Treasurer was referred to (ho Auditing Committee, who reportod that tho repcrt was correct and that the Association was indebted for a email sum. Tho other commttteo3 offered their reports which wore adopted. In the absence of the Treasurer, Mr.

of the Atlantic Club, was appointed pro tempore. Under the ordorof uufinished business, Mr. Shears of the Pastimo Club brought up (be case of tho Pastime vs. Buckakin Club of Glovesville, the latter being charged with playing a man, not a member of tho club, iu match game. Ho wished tho Convention to act upon the mattor.

Tho delegate from tho Buckskiu Club offered in extenuation, that the playing of the man was the result of arrang meut 1 etweeu tho two clubs. This Mr. Shears denied Kud as it became a question of veracity. Mr. Baruurai moved that tho whole mattor bo referred to tho naw Judiciary Committee.

This being objected by Mr Shears, Mr. Tassie offered as an amendment that the geme be declared null and void, ond the ball returned to the Pap times. This was objected, and Mr. Barnuin moved to lay tho wholo matter upon tho table, which motion was lost. Mr.

Hudson called the proviou3 question also lost. Then the oridinal question was put, and the wholo mattor was reforrod to the Judici ury Committee, tho original proposition. THE ELECTION OE OFFICEES. After the transaction of some further unimportant business, the olection of officers was entered into. This wbb dono very quietly and neatly.

Taking tho names agreed upon in caucus, they were distributed among different delegates, and Mr. Tassie was appointed to cast the ballot for the name proposed, thero being at no tmio an opposition candidate. Thus that which is usually tho longest and most tedious order of business, was made tho shortest. Judge Yoorheos was renominated, but declined re election. The following is the list of officers elected President, Mr.

The other day wo indicated, so far as it could be gathered, the position of tho Tribune on the Uiblo in the schools question.

Sinco then sovoral leading journals have expressed views, sometimes clear and sometimes vague, on tho subject. Tho World inclines to accept the action of Cincinnati, and seems to think tho reading of the Bible must be discontinued where it is objected to. Tho Philadelphia Press positively opposes that action and refuses to concede this point or any other involved in tho religious secular isaue. The N. Y.

Times considers the matter to day, approaching it with cautious delicacy. It says the object of reading the Bible in the schools was simply to teach tho children to "rev erence religion," and not to enforce any sectarian faith. If nothing more wero said we might behove (he Times favored a continuance of the practice. But, on the contrary, it holds that those who say, "read tho Bible as before, no matter what tho ro sult," have more zeal than knowledge. The only way to guard tho schools from dangerous opposition "is to remove tho ground of reasonable offence" and remit to tho Sunday schools 'a more exclusive charge of the religious education of our vouth." This looks as if, in tho judgment of the Times, the Biblo must go.

But the whole ques tion is reopened toward the close of the article: "Wo must so arrange our religious exorcises that thoy shall be devout and sacred to all, off enaive and objectionable to none." What that moans precisely it is impossible to say. Tho Bible and tho anti Bible reader may gain eqal comfort from the Times. Tho work of opposition is more dangerous in tho Cortes than in Congress. Evon when Prosidont Johnson was impeached it was not proposed by the most extreme Radicals to do more than turn him out of office. Conviction would not have involved shooting or hanging.

They do things differently in Spain. Sovoral Deputies, differing from the monarchical majority, proceeded to put their theories into practical execution, and two them, being caught, are to suffer death. Prim in announcing the fate of Caimo and Sunor, whose opinions he once shared but whose fidelity to conviction ho has come short of, must have felt only tho satisfaction ovory renegade feels iu escaping the fate of his more consistent associates. It is sometimes said that the nogro owes a great deal to Wendell Phillips. Tho balance of obliga tion is on the other sido: Wcndoll Phillips OW03 a great doal to tho negro.

Without tho Africau a3 capital stock it is to bo feared tho eloquent har angucr woidd have done a limited busmoss agitation. It was a sevoro blow to Phillips when slavery was wiped out by war and the moro practical Garrison discontinued tho Liberator and rotirod i'rom the Abolition platform. Phillips had forced upon him the historic question of Webster ii iiko trying circumstances and was compelled to ask whore ho should go. "Happy thought" bo regard slavery an not abolished. PhiPips acfcsd on this inspiration.

When tho oil Anti Slavory Society disbanded ho refused to disband but maintained an organization in which ho holds all tho offices and transacts all the businoss at annual meetings in the presence of email but amused audiences. Ho continued tho Anti Slavery Standard which, having boon tho organ of a party, is now the personal organ of Phillips. Thorein he weekly records his dissent from tho decrees of Providenco, tho course of the Bopubli cans, and the principles of Democracy. AH his virulent criticism of mcasuros and Ids rabid assaults on individuals are based on tho assumption that the negro is still enslaved, down trodden and deprived of his rights. Phillips used to display some ingenuity in establishing a connection between tins premiss and his various conclusions.

But ho grow logically feebler from time to time, and has now descended to the level of absolute puerility. Why will not Phillips assign Abolition to its proper place among "Tho Lost Arts" and, having seen tho salvation of tho negro, consent to depart in peace from a worn out field of agitation? t.

There was quite a large assomblage of tho most cultured of our Roman Catholic fellow citizens gathered at the Athenenm last evening, on tho occasion of the grand concert given for the benefit of tho Catholic Library Association. Owing to tho sickness of Professor Cortada, who was to have conducted tho affair, thoro wp.b somo delay in tho commencement, and a necessary change of a portion of the programme. Instead of tho opening Oavatina, by Signor Fossati, he and Signor Boy sang a duett, and an organ nolo, by Mr. Loretz, was substituted for the organ and piano overture which was to havo boon performed by him and Prof. Cortada.

Big nor Fossati was in excellent voice, and sang with his usual grace and case, and Signor Salccdo's cornet solos gave evident pleasure, while Miss Filomena's violin solos wore on exceedingly creditable performance. Al together the concert may be considered a musical, as if ought to have been, a pecuniary success.
