THE PAHA EVEIyWQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1808. The Ileason Way. Mb. Sharbwood, ia endeavoring to reward the Demooratio party for raising him from the bench of the Distriot to that of the Supreme Court, states that, "in the case of those who PPl? (for naturalization) on the ground of having arrived in the country under the age Of eighteen as they are required to produoe no papers there is nothing to examine." This, manifestly, was the reason why nearly every one of the 7000 petitions for naturaliza tion filed in his Court during the paat month were made out in the form known as "minors' papers." Over 3500 of these doouments have been examined by our reporters, and this was found to be the oase. The Demooratio Natu ralization Committee were aware of the senti ments of their tool upon the benoh, and kindly relieved him of all anxiety by pro Tiding their victims with doouments which would exempt them from the ordeal of undergoing an examination by the judge. Besides lessening the chanoes of detecting per jury, it facilitated the business, and rapidity, next to perjury, was the one thing needful. And now, if the ballots of these 7000 tlpstave oitizens are to be reoeived to-morrow, the only way in whioh they can be counteracted is for every honest voter to go to the polls. In 1SG4 nearly 7000 Republican voters, who remained ,at home last October, performed their duty. There are at least as many more who habitu ftlly negleot to exercise the most precious privi lege of their citizenship. The call for help whioh we now address to them is a) imperative as was that whioh aroused the nation in 1861. Let every honest voter let every lover of his country, let every ad too ate of justioe to an oppressed race, let very admirer of gallant deeds upon the field of battle, let every citizen who desires the restoration of perfeot peaoe and undisturbed prosperity throughout the length and breadth of the land, let every man who is unwilling to disgraoe his manhood, go to the polls to morrow I Let him go early in the day, and Tote as soon as possible; and then let him hunt up his lukewarm neighbors, and inspire them with a zeal and interest whioh shall equal his own. In this way the gross frauds countenanced by Demooratio judges can be counteracted, and the loyal ticket elected by five thousand majority. Snowdcn as a Judge. Mb. Sharswood, in his able Demooratio campaign dooument, asserts that, "upon taking his seat in the Court of Nisi Frlus, he found, on inquiry, that the established prao. tice had been to refer the examination of the papers In all cases (of naturalization) to the Prothonotary, with directions, however, that if any doubt or question arose in his mind in any, to report it for the opinion of the Judge." But, says another member of the same Court, "we all three (Judges Read, Agnew, and Wil liams) regard the practioe of naturalization pursued in the Nisi Prius, however old, or by whatever judges sanctioned, as contrary to the plain words of the acts of Congress, and as therefore illegal." Granting that the system pursued by Mr. Sharswood is legal, the opinion of the majority of the Court to the contrary notwithstanding, how did Colonel Snowden, the Prothonotary, dis charge the high judicial trust delegated to him by the Court 1 We have been present when the Prothonotary was affixing his signa ture to certificates of naturalization at the rate of 720 per day less than twenty-five seconds being devoted to the "examination1' and signing of each set of papers. We have also been present when a prominent Demooratio politician, Samuel Carson by name, in no way conneoted with the Court, foroed his way through the barriers surrounding the space in front of the Judge and Prothonotary, and rushing up to the latter, plaoed on his desk a naturalization certificate, which was promptly signed, without a glanoe at its contents 1 It is upon neaily 7000 papers obtained in this criminal manner that the Demooracy of Phila delphia relies for suooesB to-morrow. Will the judges of eleotion lend themselves to the consummation of suoh an outrage upon the rights of honest oitizens ? Will deluded foreigners, who have been inveigled by the Demooratio Naturalization Committee into be coming parties to these fraudulent and illegal proceedings, run the risk of perpetual dis franchisement by attempting to rote ?

Our Nominees for Judges of the Dis trict Court. When a judicial oflloer has through a long term of experience proven himself honest be yond reproach and able beyond question, it is a.duty whioh the oommunity owes not only to him, but also to Itself, that he should be re tained in that position whioh he has proven himself so well qualified to fill; and when aember of the Bar is called to a seat on tha Benoh, and has displayed eminently the quali ties that are requisite as a jurist, it is the duty of our citizens to keep him in that position for whioh he has attested his fitness. The office of Judge is the most responsible of any within the gift of the people of the United States. It is only through our oourts of justioe tha4 we see the existence of a governing .power. Were it not for these tribunals, we would not be aware of any authority in this nation1 The law is felt only within the oourt rooms' With these officers rest the safety of property; the preservation of the fair fame of the citi zen, yes, even his very life, is within their control. It is, therefore, a matter of the 11103 vital moment and importanoe, whioh rises above all partisan considerations, to have a judiciary pure and spotless, well trained to the task whioh it is their duty to perform, and thoroughly able as lawyers. That the people recognize these faots was proven last year by the eleotion of Judge Sharswood and Judge Ludlow by the votes of members of the Republican party. Both of these officers had proven their ability and experionoe as judges, aud, throning aside all considerations of party, the people went so far as to retain them by sacrificing all partisan considerations The same motives that caused the retention of these gentlemen last year are operating to-day to cause the re-eleotion of the lion. J. I. Clark Hare as President Judge of the Distriot Court and the Hon. M. Russell Thayer as Associate Judge. Judge Hare has proved his purity to be beyond all question by the most bitter of his personal or politioal foes. There has never been a breath of susploion against him as an offioerof the highest and most unimpeachable integrity. At the same time, his de cisions irom that Bench, his valuable editions of standard legal works, and the high value set upon his opinions by both his brethren of the Benoh and Bar, have shown his eminent mental capa bilities to discharge all the important responsL bilities of his high office. Would it not then be an error would it not almost be a crime for the people to heedlessly and causelessly remove this tried and faithful publio servant, and put in his plaoe a gentleman who, whatever may be his legal attainments, has never proved anything but a bUter partisan a sour and irascible debater and a willing sacrifioer of the law to the interests of his clients f The important issues whioh come before the Distriot Court, the vast power it wields over the property, over the commercial rights, and over the mercantile dealings of this community, demand the retention of Judge Hare in the position he fills. In regard to J udge Thayer we can speak with an assurance which even the Demooratio members of the Bar will not pretend to gain say that during the year which he has sat upon the Bench he has displayed a legal acumen second to none, and which has, be. yond all question, proved that his proper plaoe is the one he now oooupies. He has aeted not only with disoretion, with firm ness, with courtesy, but also with an ability which, as a jurist of his short standing on the Benoh, is are and mo3t sur prising. He was sacrificed last year to the very prinoiple whioh now calls for his re-eleotion. It was on aooount of no de merit which he possesses, but because of the superior claims of Judge Ludlow, based merely on the faot that he was already an oooupant of the Benoh. We now call upon those lawyers of the opposite party who last year plead so earnestly with us to vote for Judge Ludlow to. be true to their own principles, as then avowed, and support the re eleotion of Judge Thayer. It will be worse then inconsistency, it will be the grossest deeeit, for those men, after having argued and pledged themselves in favor of the reten tion of an able and honest Judge, without regard to his politics, to now oppose the re eleotion of our nominee for Associate Judge. They cannot reconcile it either with their feelings as men of honor or lawyers of com mon sense, and its effect will be moat dis astrous to their standing as members of their profession. We hope, therefore, that both the Bar and the vast body of conservative oitizens, who recognize the importanoe of having a judi ciary above reproach, will break loose from the bonds of party discipline, and aot as be comes oitizens of principle and carers for the publio welfare. Let them vote, if they will, the remaining portion of their partisan tioket; but let them, in the oase of the Judges of the Distriot Court, sink partisanship, rise above personal feeling, and remember that the safety of their property and a proper mainte nance of their business depend on the decisions made by these two Judges; let them rise to the dignity of American citizens, and support these gentlemen, who have proved by years of experience their integrity as men and their erudition as lawyers.

Hector Tyndale. The ordinary slanders set afloat against can didates during tbe progress of a political cam. palgn are seldom worthy of notloe or denial; but when the moral character of an esteemed citizen Is attacked by unscrupulous partisans, it may become necessary for htm to say some thing in bisown defense. The vile abuse which the Copperhead organs of this city have heaped upon General Hector Tyndale, the Republican candidate lor Mayer, Is so contemptible that It would be beneath his notice were it not that his honest declaration that he la not a member of any church has been made tbe text for diatribes declaring him to be an atheist aud infidel. By allowing these slanders to remain unnoticed would be by many persons con sidered as a tacit acknowledgment of their truth, and we, therefore, as a oomplote ancLsat lsraolory vindication of General Tyndale on this point, submit to our readers the following extracts from an address delivered by him before the Mertantile Beneficial Association eighteen years ago, on the occasion of opening the new rooms of the society: It Is then lu this the first room of the Asso ciation, tbul we Invoke the blushing of our Father upou our efforts to promote brotherly feelings aud kindly affections amongst lis members; It is from this room, we win hope with His aid, tbat a beginning shall be ramie in the elevation of the mercantile character, aud, through that, the elevation of the ojiriiiiuuily in which we live, and of our (State; aui, if suc cessful now, not here will this change stop, but throughout thiu brotherhood of Slates will this ever-widening circle roll, aud stlil extending with the free thoughts that always radiate from truth, ho weverhn.'u ble.it will progress through out the world."

In itself, a noble one; ne Is, in a manner, a creator; and as such deserves to be called, as he really Is, the cnild of our Creator and our common Father. Labor In auy form, in any condition, still preserves its heavenly origin, for the Father of us all Is the centre of all lubor."

We comrneni the above extracts to the atten tlve perusal of all voters who have b een shocked by tbe slanderous charges brought against General Tyndale, and we leave it to the honor able Instincts of men of all parties to judge bow far tbe authors of these charges are com petent to decide upon questions of Christian morals, not to speak of gentlemauly good manners.

By it you request me ''to advise you as to the relative functions of the Mayor and tLO Sheriff" in the exercise of police powers at the various election precincts in Philadel phia. You also Inform mo by the same note that yon "believe Hhorlfl Lylo has organized a force of deputies to attend at the ensuing elections, Mid exercise police powers at tho various election precincts in Philadel phia." The subject has been examined by mo, and I am of the opinion that to you, as Mayor of the city, is confided by law the exclusive police powers within Its corporate limits. ISy the Consolidation acts, and sup plements thereto, the Legislature has gi"en to the City Councils unlimited power over all maters connected with police within its local jurisdiction. This was in tended to supersede all other authority orar that sub ject to prevent a conflict between different officials, and to concentrate in one hand, subject to one general supervising authority, the force nooessary tube created. I am of the opinion that Sheriff Lylo has no authority to orgnui'.e a force of deputies to attend at the ensuing election, and exercise police powers lit the various election precincts. Whatever power lie may possess, and that remains to him after the acts of the Legls' lature upon the subject, it is a common law power, and that 1b by the acts of Consolidation made subordinate to your superior and exclusive authority. The Sheriff lias no right at law to anticipate a publio disturbance merely because an election is about to be hold, aud under such a pretext, days in advance of the evont, to summon a pos.se or appoint special deputies, tointorfore, in an independent way, with a subject which Is confided to you exclusively. The Councils of the city have glvon you the command of a fixed force; in addition to which, by resolution dated October 3d, 18'i8, they have "in structed and empowered you to appoint such a number of extra pollcemon, to act on the day of the election, for the purposoof preserving tho peaco and keeping tbo election polls clear of disturbance, as you may, in your judgment, doem necessary." This power and instruction you must exercise and obey, and any Interference with yon or your policemen, so appointed, in the discharge of their duties, by any Sheriff or deputy, would bo a viola tion of law that would subjec t them to punishment. In tho presence ot the police of the city of Philadelphia, both the duty aud power of the Sheriff or his deputies, for such pill poses, are suspended. 1 have the honor to be your obodient servant, 1SENJAMIN UAR1US 1SKKWSTER, Attorney General of tho Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania.

'y eotuec ol NINTH aud ViOATlW UUSvWi w ' DEADQUARTEKS UNIOX UNION REPUBLICAN CITY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE No. 1105 CHESTNUT STREET. Fkllo-w-Citizens: We are on tlio eve of an Important election. The un repentant Rebels of tho South, united with the Coppor hends of tho North, are again upon the war-path not with arms in their hands, but witli hatred in thoir hearts to those brave and loyal men who perilled all to savo their country. Defeated on the battle-field, they are anxious to try another ou which to tost, not their prowofcs. but their treachery. The cowardly attempts of the Copperheads of the North to assist their breth ren of the south during the Rebellion are again resorted to, in the hopo that this combination of traitors will secure by the ballot what they in vain hoped to gain by the bullet. Pennsylvania Is the battle-ground selected for this atrocious venture. The importation of voters from the rebel cities of Bal timore and New York, with many from New Jersoy and Delaware, has already been attempted for the purpose of placing them on our extra assessment lists. The frauds perpetrated, if not with the connivance at Ioast by the neglect of a Judge of the Supremo Conrt of our State, are now undergoing investigation. Forged na turalization papers with the name of tho Prothonotary and the seal of tho Court attached, have been dissemi nated amongst the people to an extent difficult to ascertain. There yet remains to finish up this diabolical plan to cheat the honest voters of their rights tho Importation from New York and Baltimore of thieves and roughs, just previous to election day, together with ballot-box stufling in certain Democratic wards of our city. Somo may think tills picture exaggerated, but we assure you that, aftor a thorough and exhaustive examination, with information from sources entirely reliable, we give it as our deliberate opinion that arrangements for frauds bad been made by this so-called Democratic party In the city of Philadelphia alone, which, if cousutn mated, would have aggregated ton thousand votes. Never in the history of the corrupt organization, self styled Democratic, has rascality been attempted on so stupendous a scale. In comparison all previous efforts sink into insignificance. With these facts before you, fellow-citizens, will not every man who feels an inter est in the purity of elections come to the polls aud de nounce by his ballot this barefaced treachery? Tho issues involved lu the contest have been tho roughly discussed. Are you willing that the control of our City and State shall be placed In the hands of mon who lire capable of resorting to tho means already al luded tof Wt think not! Come, then, to tbe polls. Let every man opposed to the villainy we have described; every man who has the good of bis country at heart; every man interested in the fair fame of his City and State, come to the polls vote early, and see to it your fiieuds vote also.
