What the New York Papers Hav of the Keault.' . DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS. , Remarks the N. Y. Tiibune: ' ' ' ' ' "Shameless and cunning frauds,'' like Jhose which the editor of the World saw perpetrated at our polls one year ago, and which he undoubtedly attributed co William H.Tweed and Oakey Hall, have again defeated the Republicans in the general vote of our State. The vote polled here by "repeaters" yester day cannot have I alien below 20,000, and we think it largely exceeded that amount. The Sixth and Seventh wards give a Democratic majority considerably exceeding their entire legal vole; but the Twenty-first (SheruT O Brief's) lar out stripped all rivalry, polling about 4uoO fraudulent votes, and thus largely increasing the fraudulent Democratic malority it rolled up for Seymour, lloil niau A Co. last year. We presume the vote returned from this ward for the Republican candidates is several hundreds below that actually cast for them ; and we have assurances that like frauds were per petrated in other wards. The swindlers, feeling sure of legal impnnlty, were even bolder than last year, and piled up the majori ties in their rotten boroughs with au utter reckless ness of appearances; but they did not operate so universally us last year. Still, they swindled us enough for their present exigency, aud know how to double) the amount whenever the stake shall seem to justify the cost. Unless the laws can be so amended as to meet and buille the new devices and nkillful ooiublnuilous of the villains who now nils, rule and plunder our city, our elections must hence forth be farces. But the magnitude of the evil almost insures lis speedy correction. In the rural districts the vote was generally light, there being no oillces of tlrst-rate Importance to be filled this year. The majorities of eltuer party con sequently fall Off In most oi its strongholds, but Uusre is 110 material change evinced in tne sentiment of the State. Could the polls be purged of illegal votes, our majority would be about the dame as when Gen eral Giant was chosen President. Judging from what we witnessed at the polls yes terday, the Democrats almost unanimously voted against and deieated the atuuuded Constitution, with the requirement of equal taxatiou on real and per sonal property, while their votes upheld and per petuated the property qualification for colored men. The Judiciary article was not so geuerally opposed by them, and we think it is adopted. But all Is as yet guesswork. t t TUB VOTES AND Til B ADMINISTRATION. After stating that the result of the election will only strengthen Republicanism In the New York legislature, the Jlm-aUl adds: . . .. From the elections of Vermont and" Maine In Sep tember to these of November comparative apathy and Indifference among the people have prevailed, and a short vote has been in every case the result. There have been in tleae elections no national can didates in the field and no natioualis8ues directly Involved, except iuohlo, where the question of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment brought out a very respectable popular vote, resulting in the success of the amendment. - . - . We see, too, that looking over the whole field from September to November, the administration of Pie Hidont Grant substantially holds the gronnd gained for the Republicans by General Grant as the chosen leader and expounder of the party. We expect, too, (hut in the development of his policy he will become by aext fall the universally proclaimed Republican c ndidate for tbe suocesslou and the election of lsjo for a new Congress will turn upon the merits of Ids administration. . , ' . , , Thus, by the force of circumstances, the dead issues tipou which tbe Northern JUwuooracr have bPMi after a fashton holding together will her.Mt aside, snd the leaders and managers of the party will be compelled to take a new departure. In this view of the revolution accomplished, aud the new epoch about to open In our political history, we call again upon the Sachems of Tammany Hall to look about them and shape their programme to the new order of things, Including the nigger and the south, and for the campaign, not of 100, but of 1872. NEW JERSEY. I A Democratic Iais1ntare. In this State, which elected a State Legislature and county olllcers, the Democrats appear to have had things pretty much their own way, although a light vote was polled, the average being about three fourths of the number cast at the Presidential elec tion last year.

Chicago is situated, the majority will be fully 7wi0. All of the Citizen's candidates for the Consti tutional Convention In the county, seven la number, are elected. Four of them are Republicans and three Democrats. City and county elections were also held through out the State, but there are no dellnite returns as yet. EXCITING. High Old Times In a Southern Conncll Cham. ber-An Alderman Fires Three shots at Ills Nephew. At a meeting of the City Council of Charleston. South Carolina, on Thursday, a motion wa made that the report of a committee In favor of paylnir H(Ki0 to Major Corbln, for legal services to the Board, be adopted, ana was declared by the Miyor the presiding officer, to be passed. Loud calls for the yeas and nays were made, and a scene of con fusion ensued. What followed Is shown la the following extract from the report of the Charleston Courier: , Alderman K. W. M. Mackey resumed the floor, and continued to rebuke the Mayor for his Illegal con duct He alluded to the statemeut of Alderman C J. Mackey, which he hinted was nit true. At this T. J. .Mackey arose, very much exasperated, and said: "This fellow only brands me with a false hood, because ho owes It to the place he Is In that he is not chastised as he deserves." Alderman E. W. M.'Mackey--Yoa need not attempt to bully me. I came here to fight this robbery, ami am not afraid of yon or of any of the parcel of men who are attempt ing to rob the city of 3000 to pay your private debts. . Here Alderman T. J. Mackey said, "I will chastise the insolent puppy when ho leaves this room," aud left the room, daring his nephow to follow him.' Alderman K. W. M. Mackey proceeded promptly to follow him, when ho was Intercepted by several of the Aldermen and brought back to his seat He then continued to denounce the action of the Mayor and while he was speaking, Alderman T. .1. Mackey' who trembled from rage, returned into the room and approached the speaker. As he entered the room his pistol belt could be seen outside of his vesLwhlch gave rise to the presumption that he had armed him self. He approached Alderman E W. M. Mackey and observing very excitedly, "I will chas tise the feilow," drew a Colt's navy revolver, ami struck at him. The blow was warded off, when he drew back a few paces, cocked his pistol, and aiming it at Alderman E. W. M. Mackey, pulled the trigger. The pistol failed to go off, when he again cocked it and fired. This had the effect of producing a speedy adjournment of a number of woolly-pated spectotors who were present In less time than it takes to relate It, the room was cleared, all manner or people dodged under desks and stowed themselves In Inconceivably small spaces, nnd as the other shots of the pistol followed, the faithful and unfaithful clung closer to their Impromptu breast works. The Mayor "lay down low" behind his desk, while others took refuge in his room. The reporters, having been penned up by their semicircular desk, were obliged to stand the first fire, but after a while succeeded In beating a masterly retreat to the Mayor's room, retiring in good order and bringing off their baggage wagons that 1, their notes Three shots were tired by Alderman T. J. Mackey, during which Alderman E. VV. M. Mackey drew his pistol, but did not fire. After tiring the first shot AldcrmaifeT. J. Mackey was seized by two colored aldermen and held, but succeeded in firing three shots, one of which struck ami perforated the alder man's desk, one went through the east window, and the third struck the wall immediately above the desk of the Mayor. Attar awhile quiet was restored, the members returned and the Mayor called the meeting to order. Alderman T. J. Mackey entered the room and said : "Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I have come here for the purpose of expressing my deep sorrow at the act which I was betrayed into committing a few moments ago. I am pre pared to lay before this Council certificates from two physicians that I have been suffering from a fractured jaw for several days, and this afternoon took a large dose of morphine. I was not sensible of my actions when gouded on by what I thought on attempt to take my life. 1 was tempted to peril the life of a kinsman, by whose bullet I would rather be slain than to harm a hair or his head. I make this apology not knowing whether I shall be here at this Board again. I deem it due to this Conncll and to the public to show that I am not a ruillan and assassin." He then retired. THE STEVENS BATTERY. An Exact Description of the Famous Rattery. - In a sketch of this vessel, now building at Hobo ken, we find the following paragraph, which will be read with interest: Her bull Is of iron, built In the ordinary manner of metal craft, and is a deep, sharp model, showing considerable fineness of lines, indicating speed and properties of buoyaucy; to be propelled by two screws placed under the counters and working inde pendently of each other. The principal dimensions of the original plans were: length, i'io feet; beam, C2 feet: depth or hold. 28 feet Her draught of water when light, 17 feet 2 inches; with coals aud stores on board, 20 feet 6 inches; and when complete and ready for action, with guns, shot, shell, and powder, and her crew on board, she would draw 22 feet 6 inches. She has 10 boilers already on board 8 engines, with cylinders 8 feet 9 inches in diameter and 3 - feet 6 Inches stroke of piston. Her steam power represents 8000 horses, and it Is fair to presume that she would have been a fast vessel if she had been completed even as originally planned. A very large portion of her ma chinery was completed long ago, and during the war she could have been ready for sea in a short time if the Government had not had its hands full of monitors. The design is that she will be a lioat ing battery, mounting 6 15-lnch guns and 2 10-inch ritled guns the heaviest armament of this kind on any one vessel in the world, excepting the Rocbarcbeati of the French navy formerly the Dnuderberg, built by W. H. Webb, Esq.. of this city. These guns were to have been placed en barbette on the deck and loaded by steam from below, so that only one man to each gun would be exposed. The vessel, on going into action, would be settled in the water by allowing the water to till tarks constructed so that they could be pumped out when the action ceased. Thus her hull would pre sent a very trifling mark above the water-llue, and not dlscernable at the distance of a mile. Three of the guns could at all times be trained so as to fire in a direct line with the keel, either ahead or astern ; in fact, in any direction desired.- To protect the hull the armor, 6 Indies in thickness, backed by 14 inches of locust, was placed- ol such an acute angle that 4t seemed almost impossible for ar.y projectile to penetrate It; Indeed, it would be a rare chance Bhot that could hit her, and there is no doubt if she had been completed in time to test her qualities la the war she would have done good execution. In completing her now many of her former features will be adhered toj but considerable advancement has been pmdo In utvl science since 18W, when her inventor described her fully to a committee appointed by Congress to view her, and some changes will be made. Finding that the Government would not assist him, Commodore Stevens determined to llnlsh her and present her to the State of New Jersey, and so he ordered it in his will, setting aside a very large sum of money to be expended iu her completion. : , OVER. 1 The Penecful End of u Troubled Life. . From the Ohio Mate Journal. ' We notice in one of our exchanges the death of a man at Pitlstleld, Lorain oouiuy, Ohio, on the 23d instant, whose name will bring to tho recollection of many of the older readers of the Journal the cir cumstances of an excitement, in about the year 1833, which, for Intensity and wide-spread prevalence, has scarcely been excelled by any of ' the thousand and one eveuta . that have since 1 ab sorbed thcpublic attention for the time beiug. The body of a young girl by the name of Susan A. Cornell, of Fall River, Mass., was found by the side of a haystack, in a Held remote from the highway with tho indications o a great struggle aud atro cious murder upon aud about it- . a Methodist minister of the place, uamed 1 Ephralin K. Avery, was suspected, arrested, and tried, both lu civil and ecclesiastical courts, as the author of the atrocious homicide, Mr. Avery was a very talented and popular preacher, and tho girl was a member of his church. The ecclesiastical court acquitted him with full conviction of his tunooence, and the civil court failed to make a case against him, and dis charged him. But that did not settle the question of his innocence in the miuds of a gi-eat portion of the people thereabout and of the whole country for the excitement on the subject was as Intense In Ohio and ol her distant States, as in Massachusetts. One half of the people, believed him innocent and the other half were well persuaded of his guilt Mr Avery, after his acqultal, resumed bis occupation as a preacher, and labored" In several localities, .beiiigBettled for several years at Richmond, Mass.' and other places In that neighborhood. Hundreds for a while weut great distanoes to see and hear hlra : but it was evident that curiosity, more thau anj thing else, tended to swell his audiences: and he could not outgrow or ontllve the suspicion that ex isted against him. 80 he finally retired from the ministry and removed to a distant country, to seek the quiet aud freedom from annoyance which he could not expect in Massachusetts. For the last twenty or thirty years Mr. Avery has led the life of an Industrious and quiet farmer at Plttsfleld, Ohio, where he died on the 23d lmtant, going to the Vive with tbe respect and regret of bis nelirhbor and acyuulutaiicta. Ills age at death was seventy years. SECOND EDITION LATEST S7 TELECmAm. Governor Geary and the Death War rants of Penns.. lvania Murderer Army Beucion in the West Affairs on the Pacific Coast.

The tide of Immigration setting towards Virginia Is healthy. The Petersburg Index has a sensible ar ticle on this subject a passage of which is as follows: "The bugbear that Northerners are not made wel come among us haB had Its day, and those who have some know that they are treated as kindly and with as much consideration as they received at their old homes, tiuch we kuow has been the treatment of those who have settled in this vicinity." Sunken Treasure Ships. ' Three sunken treasure ships are reported at Lloyds. One is the Hamllla Mitchell, with $1260,000 ou board, lying at the bottom of the China sea, eighty miles from Shanghai. Another is the steamer Carnatic, sunk in the Gulf of Suez, with 1245,000.. The third Is tho Lutlne, burled iu a sand-bank under sixteen fathoms of water, with no less than fft,ooo,000. Colo nel Qowans, who raised the sunken Russian fleet at Sevastopol, proposes to send divers down to the Lutlne next summer. Scllinv tjoverninent 3oId. Secretary Mcutwell has written a letter to a broker In lioston, explaining why Government gold is not sold In that city. He says: "I found upon inquiry that the receipts of gold at the Boston Custom House (lo not exceed the payments. Hence we could not sell gold in Boston without Shipping it from New York, while in all other cities whore gold Is sold in' small quantities, the receipts exceed all ordinary payments in coin. I'pon tlif-se facts I have declined to make sales in Boston and incur (ho expense aud risk or moving coin.'' ' A Churrh Panic. ' ' A hymn has just saved life In a church panic. Here is the story: "The floor of the Ceugress street Methodist uiurch, In Troy, took lire from a defective flue during the services on Sunday afternoon, and a rush was made for the door. Women ami children screamed, and many men pushed and struggled in the eilbrt to escape. Home of the congregation en deavored to quiet the tumult, as it was evident that the danger was not immediate, and some one struck up a fouilllnr tune, which a taken up by otlier and during the singing partial quiet was, restored. The tlrd was quickly extinguished." ' , , Inrendlarlsin.

One means by which the expenses are being rapidly reduced In the Navy Department Is the tit ting out of all vessels or war with, full Balls. Thu change Is now nearly completed, aud orders have been sent to all squadrons to cease to use coal alto gether except In cases of necessity, and even then a a full report of tbe reasons must be sent to the de partment; if these are nut deemed suiUclent the cost of the coal used is charged to the oiliuer ordering it to bo burned. Aside from saving expense, however, the design of the order Is also to restore tho know ledge of managing Bailing vessels, to which little attention was given, by our steam navy durUig the war, " , , .
