Sel lers' Argument. 'urf of Common Plena Alllxnn, P, J., nnd Jatltire 1uUlow, Pelrce, anil lirmvNter. - The Court met this morning at 9 o'clock, ami Vr. Nellers retiumed his dlHeunnlon of the caso In be half of the reHpondcnta. Handing to the Court neve ral exeniplilleattonn of the eertllleates of naturaliza tion fawned by the NIhI Prlii", Hhowing the manner of naturalixation In that Court, he proceeded: J now desire to call tha attention of your Honor to those divisions where the election was not free I mean free within the sense of our Constitution. The election In these divisions was not free because of violence and Intimidation offered to electors, the consequence of which must be that these must be rxpunged from the count which your Honors are to make. 1 hey have been excluded by the Legisla tive Committee, and though I do not approve of citing the proceedings of such a body in a court of just lee, yet, as they had no partisan motives to gratify In their determination, I think It a fair sam ple of the manner In which these divisions should bo treated. The divisions I complain of are the heeond of the First ward, the Tenth of the First ward, and the Tenth of the Nineteenth ward. In the first of these a crowd of roughs, said to have been partly Jlaltlmorcans, attackvd and beat electors, locked one up In a station house nil day and night without making a chsrge agaimt Him, and took possession of both sides of the window, defying every Democrat to attempt to vote ISutween tho hours of four and live not one Democratic vote was polled, and no challenges made, because citizens were afraid of tho roughs. There were also several personations here nnd rejections or votes ottered under the qualificationa of tiaturuli.aiion certificates. The majorities here against the respondents ranged from 9! to ltio, and the only witnesses who were produci'd by the complainant to rebut the allegations of vio lence were those who, In fact, by their own a-Itnis-nions, were participants in these wrongs, one of them being an officer ai the poll conducting the elecllo.i with a loaded gun behind his back, rejecting; tno votes of qualillcd electors, and conniving at the Ille gal arrest of electors. In the case of talse (icrwina lions the remedy Is an easy one. namely, to purge the express and implied, aud count the balance, giving to the honest electors the benellt of their franchises. The only good reason that, I know for throwing out a poll Is the actual or virtual closing of It to electors by violence. In the Tenth division of the First ward a crowd of roughs assembled at the poll, threw voters out, of t he line and Deut them, nnu toon possession oi me win low-book, having the entire management of the voting in their hands. There were also personations at this poll. The majorities against the respondents ranged from inn to 117. In the Tenth division of the Nineteenth ward Mr. Hooper, the man who was appointed to act as judge, because of a change In his political status was thrown out of his place by Mr. Addis, judge of the Fourteenth division or this ward, by the aid or policemen, and all day the election was conducted without the presence of anyone representing the minority, and a remarkably small Democratic vote was cast. All sorts or violence and disorder pre vailed there and Democrats were afraid to offer their votes. The election was also carried on wllli eut a list of taxaWcs, and counsel for the complain ants do not pretend that this was by any means an orderlv division. The maj rifles against the respon dents were from 1i5 to Ht. Adding to the majori ties of the reep. ndeiits already stated the addi tional ligiires.whlcu 1 think my argument bus proven them entitled to, we have them as follows: Fox 293 Hargcr UiVl Oetz 1M) Mct'uen linr Sheppard ll)!!7 Melloy 77 Weaver 18 Now, how are these majorities against the contest ants to be overcome? This Is to be done First. Hy alllrmative proof of fraudulent votes cast for the in cumbents. (Second, liy proof of such Intimidation by-violence as prevented voters from easting their votes against the respondents. Third. Hy evidence that the election was conducted in such a manner that the returns were too uncertain t be rolled upon. I do not think the cote piainauts have per formed any of these conditions. In one division they set forth that while their Inspector was away in search of a clerk, the Democratic inspector went on with the voting in his absence. But he was there at the opening of tho poll, remained away an unrea sonably long time, nnd a long string of voters was walling outside, and every one must agree that It was perfectly legal to proceed at once with their voting. Your Honors could hardly cuuseut to throw out a poll for such a reason as this. It was also complained that In some divisions of the Fourth ward as high as 182 votes were received in an hour, which Mr. Mann said was an impossi bility ; but If any of your Honors will try the experi ment, you will find it no great exertion to write twelve names per minute. And, a fact that should silence this complaint, the tally lists of the Demo cratic and Republican clerks agreed precisely. In regard to the vouching made by the election oilleers, it may be well for your Honors to understand th truth, that this was done in pursuance of an agree ment among the oilleers that, if either knew a man to be a finnlilied voter he should at. once vouch for Him, and thus save the trouble of seuding In the Street to II lid an outside voucher. ( Mr. Sellers here proceeded to read extracts from th testimony on behalf of tile respondents before the Examiner), In rebuttal of the complainants' charge of fraud on the part of the Democratic oilleers In the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventeenth wards.) In regard to the man FUzerald, who was spokeu of us a New York staffer operating In the Fourth ward, Mr. Mann's remarks might leave the impres sion that, though he was arrested and Indicted, lie was allowed to escape by Mr. Sheppard without pun ishment, which Impression should be corrected. The delen ant having been admitted to bail and In duced, left the IState, and hi recognizance wa.s for feited, and a suit Is now pending for its recovery. Mr. Mann Then he must have been twice in dicted. Mr. Sellers I know nothing what ever of that. Mr. Mann I guess yon haven't looked It up. Mr. Sellers What. 1 have stated Mr. Sheppard told me. Mr. Sheppard The Indictment against Fitzgerald was drawn by Mr. Mann before his term expired, ami whatever was done or left undone was bv htm. Mr. Sellers continued A great hue and cry has been raised hero that the election oilleers lu many oivlHions occupied meinseives ov vouching lor meu who came up to vote, w here Is the law or the prln cipie ot justice prouibinng tins? Tie oaths or these officers are that they will faithfully perform tneir unties, win oner no vexatious oil Htriictlons to voters, but will receive the qualified aud reject mo rrauduleut. T hm an officer would be derelict In his duty were he to see a qualified elector, one whom he knew t be such, about to lie refused his vote, and he did not ejniu to his rescue by voucmng for tiiui. In the Sixth division of the Seventeenth ward it was complained ihat the elect ion was cm. ducted by Democratic oilleers in the iibseinv of tin; minority oilleers. Now we have tesiimonv to prove that until the Ki-puhlicuu inspector returned, that is during the lirst hour, the election was citric! on with the greatest fairness, and it is not a strained presumption mat uus lainiess him continued while lie was present. During that hour there were 47 lie- punncan voies poiico, s. persons voted who were uuussesseo, mm mere were .'is names on the units Hessed list unaccounted for, which leave r.) unas.

Some months since eighty-seven barrels of whisky in the distillery warehouse of George Mo'uutioy. at No. 1011 Char lotte street, were seized nnd placed In the charge of a watchman on the premises. When General Gregory subsequently entered upon his dntf.js us I'nited Mates Marshal, the record or this seizure was upon tne docks 01 tns onice, tmtttiu whisky had been somehow spirited nwav. Several weeks since an other lot or thirty-three barrels was seized and held m charge; but this lot was quietly removed by Mountjoy while the qni watchman was taken off to enjoy a ride, or the latter lot nothing Is yet known. Supervisor Tutton has written to the Commissioner or Internal Revenue that tho eighty-seven barrels or whisky removed by some, person unknown, without 1 lie Knowledge 01 tne revenue onicers, were traced to the liquor establishnrnt or Mr. Kenan, Front and Arch streets. The Supervisor had endeavored twice last week to obtain access to Mr. Kenan's books, but failed. He determined that on Mondav l'.rooks Hhotild visit Mr. Kenan, and if he refused to present his books for examination, lie should seize the entire establishment. He went there under these Instructions, aud one of the boeks was handed him. While examining it, he was shot from behind, as hits been published. Another officer was sent to Kemin s store 011 Tuesday to complete the examina tion, but the whisky nt tluit time was not to lie found on the premises.

An evening paper has the following: The telegraph manager at Providence repre sents that the force of the storm was so great in that vicinity that the sea swept into the main streets, and tho people In many localities were only rescued through the prompt action of boat men, who paddled through tho business streets. As vet there arc no reports of loss of life, but the effect of tho storm upon tho Sound must have been fatal to all tho crafts afloat. Several churches and other large buildings lu Provi dence were demolished by tho force of tho storm, and the fences are scattered in every direction.
