THE COLORED VOTE.
Wfcere It In TeMPd-A Cenptete Canvass.
The careful enumeration of the qualified co
lored voters published in Tna Telegraph on
Saturday shows an aggregate of about 5100
names.
Comparing these lists with the official registry
itit made, the numbers aro fully sustained la
every ward and division that has been examined.
At the usual rate of seven inhabitants to one
qualified voter, the colored population of the
city would reach 87,500, and there Is the best
reason to believe that it is not less than 35.000.
At preeent these people reside more largely in
the Seventh ward than any other, and next in
the Fifth and Fourth wards.
In registering Ike voters the official can
vassers have generally been fair and careful, yet
a good many have failed to get registered in
consequence of absence when the canvassers
called, and great difficulty has been experienced
in getting registered on the extra lists. Tlie
officers have In one very populous division, the
Second of the Seventh ward, been very obstinate
and stringent, requiring every colored man to
be vouched for by two white householders. In
most cases this was impossible, since the whole
Btreet would be occupied by colored men. 8oine
fifty or sixty perfectly well-known residents
Jose their votes in that division from this cause.
In other districts of the first eight wards from
three to five per cent, of the qualified voters
have failed to get registered, chletly from want
of prompt attention, and from absence at their
summer employments. Generally a very com
mendable faithfulness has been shown by
officers to give them a chance, and by the
colored people to do honor to the first occasion
of exercising their rights.
As to qualification by payment of tax, there
will also be difficulty some not knowing that
this is necessary, Borne not being able to pay
he tax, and others not attending to the duly in
time. Ten per cent, of the registered vote will
be lost for reasons connected with this point,
unices immediate attention be paid to this most
important matter. Possibly a greater difficulty
will be the great number to vote in three or four
of the larger divisions. In the Third and Sixth
divisions of the f ifth ward, and the First and
Second of the Seventh ward, the aggregates of
both colored and white are large, and it is
inexplicable that the divisions were not
divided:

The Conductors' Excursion over tiibCavden

Association of the United States and Canadas, which
has just closed itg proceedings In Philadelphia, left
the west Philadelphia depot at 10 o'clock on Satur
day for Jersey City and New York, on a special train
provided by the above-named companies. After a
delightful and remarkably quick trip, the actual run
ning time between Philadelphia and Jersey City
being two hours and thirty-five minutes, during
which the visitors were afforded an opportunity of
witnessing the wonderfal building Improvements on
the line of the Camden and Attboy and New Jersey
Kailroads, Jersey City was reached, and the exc lr
sionists wra at once conducted to Taylor's Hotel,
where they sat down to a splendid complimentary
dinner, extended by the Camden and Ainbor and
New Jersey Railroad Companies. After the dinner,
during which a number of toasts were proposed and
properly responded to, the main fcody of the excur

the sight of the metropolis. The party were accom
panied from PhUadelphia by J. Warren Gore, K-tq.,
the Oeneral Ticket Agent of the Camden and Am

perintendent of the line.
Interestino Sksvjce. Yesterday morning there
was a very large congregation at West Arch Street
Presbyterian Church, on the occasion ef the quar
terly communion season. Five persons were added
to the oliurch on profession. The exereises were of
the deepest Interest. Kr. Wllllts was even more
eloquent than usual, and the music was of the most
exquisite character. The organist, Mr V. C. Ewing,
has a very superior cbolr, which shows nnralstkable
improvement from Sabbath to Sabbath, and with
the admirable singing and the powerful preaching
this church is becoming quite attractive to strangers
as well as to the large congregation. Since the
heavy debt en West Arch was extinguished Ust $ ear
there has been a gradual and steady growth In meiu
iiership and attendance. We understand the autho
rities In that oiiurch have a series of lectures In con
templation for this winter, end we rejoice at the fact
that at least one of our faehlocible churches is to
ie thus thrown cpen for the good of the community.
Thin is as it should be. Many prominent lecturers
are vastly more iimnresslve In a church than else
where, and from the selections already made we
have-every reason to believe that the West Arch
lectures will be entertaining. Instructive, and re
munerative, as weli as the means of doing great
good, Let the progressive work begin, as the season
is passing.

ELECTION CASES.
More Cnnvnuitera Held for Trial.
Oeorge Benson and J. C Llghifoot, Kepubllcan
canvassers of the Fifth division of the Twenty-second
ward, were arraigned before Alderrnm Kerr
this morning, for a further hearing upon the cnarge
of conspiring with William Hopkins to violate the
Registry act. The prosecution endeavored to prove
on Saturday that the canvassers Illegally placed
npon the assessment list the names of two colored
men who, it Is alleged, admitted that they had not
paid any taxes within two years, and who were fur
nished tax receipts after their names had been en
tered on the registry. The names of the colored men
are Isaac McKlnsey and Samuel Lee. The former
testified this morning that he was a resident of Ger
mantown. At the request of the Alderman Isaac
presented his tax receipt, which he said wa given
to lilru by Mr. Hopkins on to-day a week ago; wit
ness paid ffty cents for the receipt; he had
lived all his life In Germintown; the receipt was
dated October 1, two days before it wai given to him.
Mr. 3Iann, representing t he defendants, presented
the regular assessment list, showing AlcKlusey's
name entered there in proper form.
Samuel Lee testified that he had no tax receipt,
but his name was put on the list.
Mr. Sorber, the Democratic canvasser, testified
that lie objected to the names of the Colored men
being placed on the list; he did not hear Hopkins
say that McKlnsey's name was on the regular list;
Hopkins told the other canvassers to put the names
down; that he could see that the men got tax re
ceipts; witness was not aware that Lee's name was
stricken from the list of qnalilled voters.
Mr. Mann said that noerlme had been cwimU'el.
It was shown that Mclvlnsey was on the regular list,
and therefore everything was done In orlr. As to
Lee there was no Intentional design on the part of
the canvassers to commit a wrong.
Mr. C'atsidy, representing the prosecution, osked
for a bindleg over of the canvassers npon the charge
of misdemeanor in office. As to Hopkins there was
no evidence of guilt on his part, aud he would not
therefore ask for his binding over.
The Aldermen held Llghtfoot aud Benson In t-DOO
bail each to answer.
Caleb G. Collins, John Slner, Thomas P.onsoa,
and Thomas Clemens, the two Utter ca--assers
of the Seventeenth division of the Nineteenth ward,
and the former vouchers, were charged with ille
gally striking frein the list the names of qualities
voters.
William A. Murtha, the Demoaratlc canvawr of
the same division, test tiled that on the evening of
the Hd of October, Collins and Slner appeared, aud
presented a list of twenty-Ave names to be stricken
from the list; these names were stricken off on the
affidavits of Collins and Slner, who swore to the best
of their knowledge that they were disqualified by
reason of removal ; witness protested to the whole
sale manner of erasing names from the list, and one
of the canvassers agreed with him, and showed a
disposition not to strike the names otr; witness pre
sented a list of the twenty-five persons, waose names
were stricken off.
Mr. Mann, counsel, presented a list also, which
witness said was a correct one. Witness further
said that all, with the exception of three, had moved
away ; these three he could not Dud, but their wives
were living at the places given as their residences.
Mr. Mann contended that the men had deserted
their families, and witness admitted that one ef
them was said to be somewhere in the country.
Mr. Mann Inquired of Murtha if nearly nil the
names stricken otr were not Kepublicans, and he
answered yes. The three referred to by him were
Democrats, aud they were entitled to vote, provided
they were in the city.
Mr. Murtha called off the names of persons whom
he testified were voters in the division, and whose
names were stricken from the list in consequence of
Brown testifying that he had served subpicnas on
the parties, and they did not appear. Witness fur
ther testified that some of the parties deny receiv
ing notices to appear before the canvassers.
A naturalized citizen teststied that he had been
served with a suiiprena signed by Brown and Clemens,
but it was not tilled up and he did not know where
to appear. This citizen did not receive his papers
until September 20, but before that Murtha had
placed hi name on the list as a qualified voter.
Mr. Cassldy here stated that he wonld not call
any more witnesses, as he thought a case had been
made out.
Mr. Mann claimed, and Murtha admitted it, that
the canvassers had acted conscientiously, and he
would insist on hearing all the testimony. What
was shown might be sufficient to make a great hur
rah, but it was a lamentable failure to make oat a
case or crime.
The naturalized citizen was again called to the
stand, and he testified that he had been voting on
his father's papers previous to taking out his own
papers.
Mr. Manu This has misled the canvassers.
The magistrate disposed of the case by holding
tne canvassers to oau in tne tumor ihuuu ana the
vouchers in f woo.

His proclamation to the people of tho several
departments has the following relative to
affairs in that city: "By order of the Republi
can Government I have left Paris to transmit
to j-ou the hopes ol the Parisians and others of
those who aie seeking to deliver France from
foreigners. Paris, invested for seventeen days,
presents a spactacle of two million of men for
getting their differences to withstand the in
vaders, who expected civil discord.
"The Revolution found Paris without guns or
arms of any kind. Four hundred thousand of
the National Guard are now armed, and one
hundred thousand Mobiles and sixty thousand
regulars are assembled. Th foundries are cast
ing cannon, aad the women are making millions
of cartridges daily. Each battalion of National
Guards have two mitrailleuses and field pieces,
and are preparing for sorties. The forts are
manned by the marines, and are supplied with
artillery of the greatest excellence, and served
by gunners the first in the world.
"Ilitherto'theirjlre has kept the enemy from
erecting the smallest work. The enceinte on
the 4th had only 500 cannon, now it has 3800,
with 400 rounds for each. Every defense has
its men at their posts. The Nationals drill con
stantly. Behind the enceinte is a third line of
defense, the barricades, which are adapted to
the genius of the Parisians. This has all been

SPECIAL. NOTICES.
n? T1IE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
This Is a matter In which the whole community Is
deeply Interested, and requires some little reflec
tion ere It can be satisfactorily determined. The
retired capitalist and the men of moderate means
look forward to the new buildings with some dread
that taxation may be wantonly increased, but their
fears are idle, and the whole will be done to the
satisfaction of the public if the start be right from
the beginning and the people are willing to act In
accordance with the spirit of the age and the neces
sitles of the position, and not, crab-like, go back
ward.
Say twenty years ago, then Sixth and Chcsnut
was the centre of the city. All the business houses
were located in the lo er part of the city, but such
is not the case now. Lota which before had cost
their owners taxes, and did not bring in a dollar of
Income, have since brought large prices, and the
houses which they had left were converted into
stores; in fact, there was a period when dwellings
were actually scarce in the city, and, strange as It
may seem, large premiums were asked and de.
manded for houses whlcn before that, time had
brought but a comparatively small rent. The tide
of 'business was west; dwellings of the most
elegant and substantial kind were erected, and
the western part of the city could soon boait
rows of the most elegant buildings, with all the
modern conveniences. A large and wealthy popula
tion had sprung up, ns it were by magic, in the
western part of the city. In the lower part the
change was equally apparent; house after house was
altered into stores, and this too in limits where it
was scarcely thought that business would pay. This
was particularly the -case in Chesnut, Walnut, and
Arch, beyond Tenth. Sixth and Chesnut is not
now and has long since resigned her central su
premacy. Sixth and Chesnut la not now the part of
the city whence all the rest is to be governed, nor
are the people disposed tamely to submit to the rule
of a few who, for their own selfish purposes, are de
termined to rash blindly on what some or them
know very little about. One fact is patent, and can
not be galnsayed, that there is now, and that there
baa been for the last two years, a strong disposition
to go to the western part of the city. The new
Cathedral fa built In that part, rows or splendid
houses decorate both North and South Broad street,
West Philadelphia abounds In co nmodious man
sions or all alzes, schools and churches to corres
pond accompany tbese dwellings, and this is but the
commencement; there ore still vacant lots in all
that section of the city, and the owners merely wait
till the times are more settled and building mate
rials cheaper; then rows of houses, emulating
those in Green, Mount Vernon, and
Wallace will ornament the western part of the city.
One fact is exceedingly significant, that all the reli
gious corporations who erect new places or wor
ship put them up in the western part of the city.
The Importance of this factwaa well known when
the Cathedral was built on Logan Square and Isaac
S. Hoyt, when he erected those.houses on Vine and
Summer streets, was keen'y alive to the fact (though
he never reaped the benefit of it) that the western
part or the city was the spot for new enterprises or
pith and moment.
The city of Philadelphia has no right to seize the
public property ; it does not belong to the city, ex
cept as a public square, and no one has a right to
meddle with it. The city is the guardian of that
property, and only for a specitlo purpose. She is a
trustee, and as such dare not go beyond the Instruc
tions in the deed.
Theefctite on West Penn Square Is also the pro
perty of the city ; but that is free, there Is no restric
tion, and the circumstances of the times point
to that as a suitable location. It seems the
most absolute folly to build now, and say twenty
years hence alter the position of the courts of Justice.
In the European cities some of the tribunals have
not changed tor eenturies, and when first built Were
on the outskirts of the town. But Pcun Square Is the
actual centre, and due allowance must be made for
the wants of the city, Gerruantown, W est Pallaiel
phla, and the rural distilcts, which In time will be
improvtd, and a due provision must be made for
the wanta of the future. ' it

"His (William D. Kelley) doubtful action In the
Ways and Means Committee and In the Houe of
Representatives, upon the renewal of the odious In
come tax."
Mr. Kelley, with Mr. McCarthy, of New York, In
the committee voted to repeal the Income tax. Mr.
Brooks, of New York, and Mr. Marshall, of Illinois,
the two Democratic members of the Ways and
Means, voted to retain the Income tax.
In the House, at the last session of Congress, Judge
Kelley, when the bill for reducing Internal Revenue
Taxes was under consideration, voted for the repeal
of the Income tax. When the bill came back from
the Senato, where the Ineome tax had been reduced
from three to two and one-half percent , Judge Kelley
voted for this reduction and against the House bill.
Judge Kelley led the advocates for tho repeal of
the Internal taxes.
In the acts of Congress of July 13, 1S58; March 2,
ls7 ; March 31, 1M5S, and July 14, 1670, are contained
the exemptions from Internal taxation. Judge Kel
ey advocated and voted for all of them.
He particularly suppoited the repeal of the taxes
on slaughtered animals, articles of food, raw mate
rials, and on manufactures.
He advocated and voted for the repeal of Internal
taxes, when certain Democratic Congressmen voted
to retain them ; and when the New York World aud
other Democratic papers urged their retention.
These are facts on record at Washington, In the
public press or both parties and In the neutral press,
and yet this Conservative Democratic committee
deals In such unblushing falsehood. Whether Demo
crat or Republican, we beg that you will judge for
yourself, and not thrsugh the medium of falsehood,
such as this committee proves to be. it
jf REASONS WHY JAMES L?ND SHOULD
NOT BE ELECTED ASSOCIATE JUDOiEOF
THE DISTRICT COURT:
1. He has ko Eminence as a Lawyer. Previous
to his election by Councils as City Solicitor, he was
scarcely known professionally, ami while City Solici
tor he was remarkable only for cloudy opinions and
the fidelity with which he collected costs.
2. He has been a Rash Speculator Oil Compa
nies, without oil; Coal Companies, without coal-
there was an abundance of dust and Building Asso
ciations, without substantial basis, have been his
hobbles ; ami he has ridden them, while many inno
cent contributors have trudged along on foot.
8. For the purpose of securing and retaining public
positions he has resorted to most dishonorable expe
dlents. It Is said that a political barter made him
the President of Select Council. While holdlug
that office he was, contrary to the spirit of the law,
made City Solicitor; and then by special legislation
at Harrlsburg, obtained by his personal efforts and
other means, he prolonged his tenure of office
KOR ONE YEAR.
4. He is a Vindictive Man. We give an exam.
pie: One of our city Representatives at Hirrlsburg
opposed the bill extending Mr. Lynd's term of office,
Up to that time they were on Intimate and familiar
terms. Since that time Mr. Lynd has never reco;j
nized or spoken to his former friend.
6. He is a Politician in the Most Objection
able Sense op the Word. He engineered his own
nomination. During the canvass men were button
holed at every corner; letters soliciting interviews
fell on the town like snowflakes ; he argued his own
claims for the place he sought, and when the con
vention was in session, was in the immediate nelgn
boitood, in consultation with hia political adhe
rents; and, finally, Jumped at the nomination mad j
by a minority 114 out of a convention of 300 dele'
gates.
6 Among the few lawyers who voted for him,
not one of professional distinction can be named.
We write with an accurate l'st of all In the couven
tloii who supported him, before us, and we challenge
contradiction.
7. He has a lODg roll of Judgments against him In
the Court of which he seeks to be a member.
6. He would lie liable to have suits brought
against him in his own Court, and suits of such a
nature as to compel his associates npon the bench
to pas upon the honesty of some of his former busi
ness transactions.
9. At every term of the Court there would be
jurors upon the panel who had suffered either from
bis lack of Judgment or his financial "operations,''
and this wou.d be liable to impair their confidence
in any statements he might make touching the
matter before them.
1". He is the only candidate for judicial oill je in
this city who has ever found It necessary to defend
his character.
11. He is the only profetaioiml man of whom we
have heard who has taken the benefit of the Bmic.
rupt act a law which was passed to relieve those
who are subjected to the ordinary vicissitudes of
trade and lusinai. it
JAMES LYND, ESti. YOU ASKED WHY
was a discharge granted, you, if certain alle
gations are true? Perhaps It was because none op
posed. Why they did not Is for you to answer. At
first Judge Cadwalader waa not so strict as he Is
now. Ee now requires a balance sheet of every
bankrupt's business career. How would that stand
in yonr esse? We have nothing previous to the
organization of the coal company to
guide us. In your examination you
say you were then worth fis.000 to f20,ooo.
Your schedule shows that you owsd secured debts
to the amount of flS,?iS'4S; unsecured debts,
t4S,3S5'15,-and that 1733 shares of stock, at f 10 per
share, $17,330, are unaccounted for. On the other
side yon say your losses were occasioned by your
connection with the Coal Company. In that com
pany you say you placed one-third of 20,ooo,
u006 tW, borrowed money.and endorsed Its notes to
the amount of 134,000. A balance-sheet made up from
your schedules and your examination would there
fore stand thus:
James Lynd, Ir.
Amount of property above debts tl5,0'o-oo
Unsecured debts 45,S5 15
Stock sold, 1733 shares at $10 17,330-OJ
$77,71V1.1
One-third of fVkOOO.
Notes endorsed
.,ld,0)0 ')
t j6 Oil
Deficit $.i5,04S id
With such a large amount or property unaccounted
for, it Is strange that you obtained a discharge. You
may be able to eiplalu this dell ;lt, but you did not
in bankruptcy.
Was it frank in you when you sa'd the judgment
on your onlc'al bond had been satisfied, an I when
you got Mr. G. ay to certify to your state ent to
conceal the fact that that judgment was Satisfied
