The election during yesterday was: a-; dear
as could hr, 311 title %Sided, The most, unfair
uwans being resorted to by the Knovr Nothings
to crow ut ler voters from th-e—polls.
In the first ward the most intense excite
nt prevailed
,for some time, and the polls
surrounded by a huge cro d lit-never
ti Know-Nothing. voter approached the crowd
he was hoisted• right over the heads of :111 and
landed 'at the door, ready to deposit hiN vote.
Several 'disgraceful tights occurred. and one
tuan of the name-of Burch,. who had, with <all
eys, chased an Irishman from the polls. was in
turn beset, lietten,neariy to death, and l.nook -
ed sensidess by the roan he had been
Marshal Kidd, we learn, subsequently arit:::l
- the Irishman.
In the sixth ward several disgmcefni scenes
occurred; such ns six, eight, or a dozen 'men
pitching into one poor Irishman and driving
him nom the polls. •
the eight ward it was n one-sidedlnattet,
none but eliow ticket elm is having any
chance to get to the polls throng mut t
In On seventh ward .out men were walking
along the street when they . wcrti*beset by a
crowd, - and ran off, one of them taking refuge
in a housetorrter of 9th and Magazine streets.
The house s ewas stoned; a woman hurt, and fin
ally one or. two of the men were shot. ono of
them dang , ,ernifsiy.—One of the pursued party
was the 'first; to shoot, firing a pistol at -the
crowd who were stoning him and his compan
ions:, Some one came out from hints© with
a shotgun, and - let drive at .the fugitive. The
marshal subsequent} arrested tivo-ot them.
No respectable or a can think of the scenes
of Yesterday without haute. A complete sys
tem of terror : and b ood was-established by
the Know-Nothing tarty or !action: The de
tails are disk sti , •
- The lawlessness was providedfor by the
City authorities Sin allowing but one voting
piece hi a ward. The upper and lower wards
were taken at an early hour, and the middle
wards were not exempt.
. We have had no election in any American
sense of the word. Our city is governed, not I
bylaw, but by a set of hired scoundrels, who
obey the secret comma nds or kw l e ss [T i m It '
- is not worth while to try to disguise the char
acter of this city. There is no law, no police,
no justice bore. Oat poll-books speak nut the
voice
s of:the people, but the dictates of a mob.
We never beard cf - such scenes, much less
have . seen theta anywhere. Nor have such
ever been witnessed in this -country. This
sort of proce.edings was anticipated. It came
-fully—up to all that had been threatened, awl
surpassed anything anticipated,-onscrupulons,
as we know the secret party. If the election
io
. Louisville -yesterday - was legal and is to
stand, then the right of suffrage in Kentucky
is a mockery. -There is no fleedotts here and
no law. Scoundrolism is-triumphant.
We have 'found means to subvert the law of
nutabers at the palls - by violence. and passed
off as legal. If theexamplcof Louisville were
generally followed, thn liberties of this
.try , would be ended.

A Yol'lng man named George Debar, a labor

Wkconson. attempted to, massacre the whole
family of Mr. John Meyer_ _The Wi,cons , in ()I'
the 3.1 inst., has the following part:eulars of'
the tragedy :
During the evening, he ealleil at the house of
Mr. Meyer, saying he :would like 10 101 Ve t
money Inr his labor done a few (lays previous
ly. Mr.. .Mever said he hail money enough,
and if he would sit down he would 'so and fresh
it. After the moues; ,was gi yen Ili in . -by
,Meyer
from a paokawe o f a bout WO. Debar asked
fhr a drink of water. - Mr. Meyer told him
(hat he had none in - the house, that was fresh
and that the spring was a long way from the
house ; Meyer, however. told Debar that he
could give hint a mug of beer, and immediate . -
ly went to Feld( it flow the cellar, w hich was
entered by'a trap door.
As Meyer came up, Debar dealt him a blow
just as his !Wad appeared above the trap door,
which Trostrated him to' the cellar's bottom.
Mrs. Meyer, seeing her husband thus struck,
ran for the woods to call a neighbor. The
murderer chased her, aruted with a knife, and
- overtaking her, aimed a stab at her neck, cut
ting her head half off: A small boy set up a cry.
but Debar rendered him senseless-with a blow,
and then rifled the house and fired it. In the
meantime, Meyer, having recovered from the
elfecta - olThe blow, came out of the cellar and
ran. for assistance, while 'Debar was trying to
throw the boy into the flames.
On the arrival of assistance the murderer
was gone. Mrs. Meyer had been able to crawl
to the building, and the boy was drawn from
the tire in a shockingly burned condition. The
woman has since died, and the boy is in a dy
ing condition. Mr. Meyer's wound was not
so serious us to rause apprehensions.
This wholesale murder was committed for
the purpw:e of oltraining sixty dollars. Should
not death he We punishment of the miscreant
who, for the love of gold, would slaughter a
whole family '? The murderer wls arrested.

death penalty has - becirabolised iu IVi6consin.
Alrurderer Excei:ted by a Mob.
MlLwArg EN, August S. --A special court was
held yestei day at IVez;t. Bend for the trial of
Dehar, the murderer of the Meyer family-a
few days :••inee. A verdict of lisurder in the
first, degree wa•: rendered, and while_ the pi is
oiler was about being. conveyed back to jail,
guarded by a military company, the inob made

filled to the ground by a.stone, the mob falling
upon him in a horrible manner. They then
tied a rope to hisheels and dragged loin through
the streets, after which they ended the tragedy
by hanging, him up to a tree head downward !
Thus horribly peri;died the perpetrattir'of one
of the too. many lon ible murders that have
lately dim aced the country.

Kentucky has been carried by the Know
Nothings—the Democrats, however. electing
Once or four out of the eight Congres:nen. If
the Know Nothings played the same- deep
game all over the State which they are blamed
with having put in practice in Louisville, it is
wonderful that a single 'Democrat was suc
cessful.
We copy the following instructive story from
the Columbus Times :
A very instructive as well as amusing inci
dent occurred at Crawford, Russell county,
Alabama, during the discussion there between
Messrs. Dowdell and Watts. Mr: Dowdell
charged that the Know-Nothings took certain
oaths in their several degrees, which a freeman
ought not to take, and was making it tell
against his adversary, when the following dia
logue occ) u •red :
Mr•. Watts. 44 never took an oath."
Mr. Dowdell. "if there is another Know-
Norhin in the hone who has not been sworn,
I hope he will rise and make it known.",
Mr. It. 11. thtl:er.--I never was sworn."
Mangy• vo:ces. "We wet e," "we were," "we
swer,.."
111 r. Dow&11. ''how Pi this, fellow citizens?
The chiefs of the 'party, the tk -. ire-workers. it
seems, are not sworn ; their pledge of honor, I
presume, is sullieient ! But the wool-hat boYs.-;
the honest yeomen of the uitary, are rwiy,m-/-

enjoy the benefits or Know Nothingism."
The circa of this hit may be better imag
ined than do-erilad. The house rang with
plause. Ilow is it ? Are they all sworn. or
does the order discriminate between its InVill
berAip, and, take the words of some and_phi
others down by solemn oaths ?

that when circurnstanees,exist, in the conduct
of a public carer, which require the question
of his dismissal from office to be considered, it

in regard to the matters alluded to. although
they were peculiarly within your own know
ledge and you could not but be well aware
that some of them, nivre especially the _under
taking of sundry persons, yourself included, to
lay out new cities on military or other reserva

going official investigation within that Territo

at that time, prevented its being spoken of ex
plicitly by this department ; but it was taken
fbr granted that you would have cheerfully vol-
unteuicd explanations upon the subject, so far
as you IvLre concerned, more particularly as
you had sununoned the Legislative _Assembly
