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.
Bessed votes not accounted for; mid to these 10

Tiik Rkason Dktkctivk Hhooks was Shot at
Ki nan's Stoke.- Some further light Inn been
thrown upon ihe manipulations of the whisky ope-
riiiors in reiereuce 10 tneir irauos commute l upon
the Government, and with special reference to the
late fhonting of Detective Brocks. 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.
