THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, lWfl HOW ELECTIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN PHILADELPHIA. The testimony in the conteHtod election canes now under consideration in the Court of Com mon i leas fills two booka containing nearly eighteen hundred pages, and the lawyers in tend to occupy the whole week in diHcnssing it. It is impossible for the general reador to wado through this mass of matter, but it is easy to nee, from its general purport, that in some portions of Philadelphia the reported results of elections afford no indication what ever of the sentiments of bona fide voters. The contestants claim that they have estab lished enough frauds to unseat all the Demo cratic officials nominally chosen in October, 188, including the Mayor, District Attorney, Keceiver of Taxes, City Controller, City Solicitor, Prothonotary of the Court of Com mon Pleas, and the City Commissioner, by majorities ranging from 1000 to nearly 2.100, and they have adduced very impressive evi dence to justify this conclusion. The official roturns gave Mayor Fox a ma jority of nearly two thousand. The contest ants now claim that if the vote of the divi sions where wholesale violations of law were perpetrated is thrown out, and other palpable errors are corrected, Tyndale will have a ma jority of more than 1000; and when able lawyers seriously contend that they have ex posed discrepancies of this character, it is evident that our elections are rapidly degene rating into a contest of fraud and villainy rather than a fair method of ascertaining public opinion. There is no doubt that the Democracy of Philadelphia were determined to win last fall, by fair means or foul. They resolved to carry the city at all hazards, and doubting whether It is impossible in a briof article to thread the mazes of those complicated and extensive frauds. It is evident that the Demo cratic victory of October, lOH, was achieved by the aid of innumerable crimes. Forgery and perjury were an freely resorted to as if they were venial offenses, nnd thousands of souls were finrrnd u Mil An inofTnf'pnLiA n(nin of cuilt to o - t fill the Kow with Democratic oln cials. It remains for the Cosrt to decide whether this demon work will not, after all, lie undone; but it is scarcely possible that all the Democrats who obtained certificates of elec tion lnnt year will bo permitted to retain their present positions. THE A VON DALE SUFFERERS. The frightful disaster at the Avondale mines has sent a thrill of horror through the whole nation, and the sympathy which has been ex cited in behalf of tho sufferers is profound and sincere. From the information which had been given of the character of tho catas trophe, all hope that the doomed men would be rescued was abandoned from tho first; and when the news was received yesterday that the mine had been penetrated, no one was disappointed to learn that doath had already put an end to the sufferings of the victims. These cannot be recalled to life again, but this could be done honestly, their desperate and unprincipled managers concocted and executed the most gigantic frauds that were ever perpetrated in this community. Their first reliance was upon coffee-pot naturalization papers. This part of their pro gramme has been exposed at length hereto fore in our columns. It is impossible to point out in detail all the rascality connected with the issue of more than G000 charters of citizenship in a few weeks; but there is little doubt that the Democracy illegally gained from this source alone more than tho average majority of their candidates on the city ticket. But their efforts were by no means con - fined to the conversion, by false oaths or fraudulent documents, of newly-arrived emi grants into old residents. Many other de scriptions of villainy were freely used to help the cause. In Borne of the strong Democratic divisions every important injunction of the election laws was totally disregarded. No in qriiry was made in regard to the qualifications of voters, and the only question considered was whether the applicant for a freeman's privileges would swell the volume of Demo cratic fraud. The lists of taxables were not consulted, the challenges and remonstrances of Kepublican inspectors were not heeded, and the worst of ballot-box Btuft'ers held high carnival. Out of many facts, however, we have only space here to recapitulate a few of the most striking. In the Sovonth division of the Third ward, 182 votes were received in one hour. This is at the rate of more than three a minute. The rapidity is explained by the fact that the De mocratic judge unlawfully retained through out the day the list of taxables, and he man aged this record so carelessly that he omitted to mark twenty-seven persons who did vote, while he marked ninety-eight persons who did not vote. Six hundred Democratic votes were returned in the division, many of which are alleged to be fraudulent. One witness says a party of New York repeaters voted at tins division twice during the day, in the after noon as well as the morning, and a number of fake personations baye been distinctly proven. In another division two hundred and forty nine votes were polled before a list of taxables was produced. Here, too, the New York gang f twelve or fifteen strangers, headed by Mike Fitzgerald, were permitted to vote, and false perhonations were numerous. In the Eighth division of the Fourth ward Alderman McMullin himself was in the field, aud great things were of course to be ex pected. A Democratic majority of -432 was returned. During the first hour Kit or K" votes were polled, and the contestants claim that at least 175 persons voted without any proof of their qualifications having been given. The New York gang were traced to the neighborhood of this place, but as there was an abundance of other recruits ready to uiuke false personations, it is possible that they confined their active labors to other localities. The Republican inspector of thiB division testifies that all votes that were offered were taken, and that although he gonerally asked the residence, the votes were in the box before an answer was received. In one of the divisions of the Twentioth ward a false count of tho tickets was made in the interest of the Democratic candidates. Iu one of tho division! of the Seventeenth ward a Democratic iuspector who manipu lated affairs, in a style which the Fourth ward officials only could emulate, was promptly rewarded for his services by an appointment ou the police force after Mayor Fox was in ktalled in office. With this incentive in view he managed to increase tho Democratic vote from !!'(; in 187 to 4.1C in October, 1KUH, and to 07 1 at the Presidential election in No vember. . something can be done to alleviate the anguish of the widows and orphans, and to make them feel that there is a cordial sympathy for them in their bereavement, and the case is one that calls for a display of that large hearted, practical benevolence for which the citizens of Philadelphia have bcea always noted when there is occasion for a demand upon their pockets. Over two hundred men perishod suddenly and without a note of warning by this fearful calamity, and it is safe to say that there are nearly one thousand persons, women and children, loft widows and orphans, and who, in the midst of their bereavement, find their woe doubly intensified by being deprived of their only means of support. The necessities of these poor people are immediate, and if any aid is extended to them it ought to be done promptly. We feel assured that it is only necessary to have the case set before our citizens to procure a most generous response. In New York a subscription for the relief of the Avondalo sufferers has already been set on foot, and a considerable sum secured. Governor Geary and Judge Asa Packer, our rival candidates for the Governorship, have each started the good work in the interior of the State by subscribing according to their means, and it now remains for the wealthy citizens of Philadelphia to come forward with their accustomed liberality. These miners and their families have pecu liar claims on us. This is the chief city of the State, and the great coal shipping port; and as we draw much of our wealth from these mines, it is fitting that we should show a lively interest iu the miners on such an oc casion as this. It will take time for the sufferers by the Avondale calamity to settle down to employ ments by which they can earn their bread. They have been suddenly cut off from their usual means of subsistence, and any relief that is offered them will bo increased in value by the promptness with which the donations are made. We are very much pleased to announce in this connection that a grand operatic concert will be given on Saturday evening next by the Richings English Opera Company, in aid of a fund for tho Avondalo sufferers. Every member of the troupe has volunteered on this occasion, and the orchestra have tendered their services. The entire receipts will therefore go to the wives and families of the dead minors. In addition to the other performances, Mr. Henry Drayton, assisted by Mrs. Bernard, and the company, will sing the "Star-Spangled Banner," as it was sung by him at a great Union meeting in this city just before the breaking out of the Rebellion. The members of the theatrical and operatic profession are generally the first to offer their servicos when there is a call like this; and the promptness with which Mrs. Bernard and her company have volunteered ought to fix them more firmly than ever in the regards of the public. The citizens of Philadelphia owe it to them selves that every inch of room in the Academy, from parquet to dome, shall bo occupied on next Saturday evening, and we know that no one will be more gratified to have the receipts swelled to the largest possi ble amount than the esteemed directress of the troupe and her talented assistants. Let there be a full house on this occasion, if there is not another one during the season. occupations from an assessment list, and that after changing their hats they proceeded to a poll under the charge of Democratic election officers. The counsel for the respondents ascertained during her examination that she was the wife of a police officer, and Mr. Mann alleged in his recent speech, that "on the day following her testimony her husbana was turned off the police force." Is this the way our good Mayor Fox maunges his department? Are men always dismissed if their wives, relatives, or friends dare to tell the truth about Democratic desperadoes ? Is it one of the principles of the party to punish the hus band when the wife discharges a solemn duty to tho community ? Let us hear no more of the meanness of tho miscreont who sought to be revenged against an adversary by making mouths nt his sister; he was a model of chivalry when compared with the meu who dismissed Policeman Andrews. The late National Union Republican Con vention in Mississippi, which was controlled by men anxious to galvanize a Democratic party in that State, contained seventy-five colored delegates, or one-fourth of the whole number present. The liberal tactics adopted by the old friends and supporters of Jeff. Davis are explained by the fact that there is a greater colored than white population in the Commonwealth, and it was, therefore, abso lutely necessary that a tub should be thrown to the whale. Meanwhile, although the aid of thefreedmen is warmly solicited in Mississippi, in Pennsylvania the Democratic party con tinues to denounce colored suffrage in the bitterest terms. a ray of Lianr. The assault on Detective Brooks is still as mysterious as it was dastardly, but Supervisor Tutton, in a letter to the Internal Revenue Department, has thrown some light oil the subject. It will be remembered that soon after the whisky establishment of George Mountjoy, the "wild-cat" banker, was placed under seizure, eighty-soven barrels of spirits which were stored in his warehouse were spirited away in the most mysterious manner. These eighty-seven barrels were finally traced to the concern on Front street, near Arch, kept by John Kenan, in which Mr. Brooks was standing when the assassins of the whisky ring came upon him. Efforts had been twice made during last week to obtain some know ledge of the manner in which this was accom plished by an examination of Kenan's books, and each time that the effort was made it failed. On Monday, finally, Mr. Brooks re paired to Kenan' establishment, under in struetions to socure an examination of his books, with seizure of the entire establish ment as the alternative. Mr. Brooks had barely commenced his task when it was in terrupted by the cowardly and infamous at tempt upon his life. One of th witnesaos in the contested eleci tion cases was Mrs. Mary Andrews, who tes- The Democracy of Wisconsin have at last flinnnvered that thev "reioice in the extinc tion of slavery." The Democracy of Penn sylvania have not yet officially formed and expressed an opinion on this subject, but it is possible that during the next twenty years they will gradually grope their way to the ad vanced point gained by their Wisconsin brethren. Meanwhile, however, they are still floundering in the depths of State Rights and Bocession theories, and disposed to consider the resolutions of ?i8 as the embodiment of Democratic wisdom. The New Mexicans are coming to the rescue of the Republican party, as the returns indicate that Chavez, the Republican candi date for delegate to represent the Territory in Congress, has been elected. At the last con test he was defeated by a Democratic or inde pendent candidate. As ho has no vote in Congress, the result possesses no practical significance beyond the fact that it is a fair offset to the reported Democratic victory in Montana. Since she boasts of her Cavanaugh, let redeemed New Mexico rejoice in the return of her Chavez. Dvvmark continues to warmly ure the payment of her little bill for the island of St. Thomas. The American people have no dis position to give for this insignificant posses sion, which is a mere spec'i upon the waters of the Atlantic, the extravagant price agreed upon by Secretary Seward, and as they are not bound iu honor to ratify a bargain which was manifestly either foolish or corrupt. Raasloff, if he is determined to sell, must look for a purchaser elsewhere. POSTAL SKKVICE OF THE &0KTU OK1DI.VN I'NiON.

The town of Duluth, situated near the northeastorn verg of Minnesota and Jutting upon a western arm of Lake Superior, llds fair to he one of the first cities of the now fnst-devcloplng Northwest The Lake Su perior and Mississippi Itallroad, now one-third com pleted, will soon connect, by its one hundred and fifty miles of iron rails, this natural commercial depot on the greatest body of fresh water lu the world with the upper waters of the mighty Missis sippi at St. Paul. Added to this advantage, all the probabilities now are that Duluth will be made the eastern terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad, soon to start Into being under the genii Angers of the first financiers in the country. The best locations on the lake and bay side of Duluth have been lately secured by the railroad companies, to obtain ade quate facilities for the Immense tonnage in transitu that will enBue on the completion of these lines, the pmnllcr of which will be finished by the first day of .Tune next. Real estnte operators have naturally token advantage of these facilities, and property has appreciated considerably within the last few days. Lots have trebled ln value, and to the sale of many of them are attached conditions requiring building improvements to be made speedily. An Episcopal church, two commodious hotels, many stores, and numerous dwellings will all be completed this fall. The population of Duluth now numbers about eleven hundred. In nil probability the completion of the Northern Pacific Itallroad to this enterprising port will see Its nonnlatlon increased at least tenfold. Thus it is that the backwoods of the American con tinent are utilized and little frontier settlements made monster metropolises of trade. 8PEOIAL NOTIOES. jjg- P K O C L A M A T I O N. Orru it ok mr.
