THE, .. ..... .:.. .. ELECTION,... .., ....
OOrinifort Prarss--Judgin- Allison ' Ludlow,
Pane and Brewster.—Mr. Mann resumed•his
•
argument this morning, addressing himself to
the Eighth Division ofthe Fourth - Ward. He
wont over the testimony in detail, Showing
the receipt at the polls of 175 votes of men not
on the list of taxables, and who voted:without
• - any proof of qualifleation. ,Mike Fitzgeral
alil,rred in this division, at the head of
.•
i N ework roughs. There was no onset° o
`!"' all this on the part, of the respondents: o •he
election officers wilfully disregarded the
law and 'took the vote •of every , man
:who, „came , up. nAll that the respon
•dents do is to` Call 27 of these-175, - who testify •
that they did vote and they voted the Demo
eratielicket. 'But this is exactly , what the
contestants charge. ' The respondents did' not
produce the election officers in order to dis
prove our allegations. This is explained by, a
reference to , the politietd history of the Di : .
vision? „In October they polled 531 Demo
cratic votes, - and then in November increased'
. it to 1,2611 . The Democratic majority in the
Seventh Division of the Third,and the Eighth
of the Fourth, is about 900 thus manufac
tured. • -
•• • Mr, Mann next took up the Divi
____sionrotthe_Fourth Ward. The listof taxables
produced shows 252 names marked as voting,
Ten, names were added by theelection officers,
• 0 i • , • eswere prlleti;--MrAftann—th•
went 'over the list; giving the mines of those
whose,names were marked , as,voting, when •
the fact` was they:had • removed from the divi
sion, or never lived• there,,or were personated
by others. Fifty-three 'perspns Voted without
prod of qualification being required.' Votes
were received and deposited in the ballot-box
so,fast tbat,in many instances, the . Republican
---- InSPector bad-nottime-to search-for-the-11am
°tithe list. There are sixty-five persons whose
names are not, on the list. •
;The Sixth Division of the Fourth Wardwas
•, next takenup. There are 405 voters in this di
vigion; but the list, of voters shows only 399
na'mes.on the list of taxables ; there are 105'
names voting and 10 added, and the record of
the election • shows something about 175 of the
voters. -Forty-two persons were allowed to
vote in this division whose names are not on
, the list, and of these the respondents
n• have ','produced only three who tes-•
tified that they voted. The list
of ,taxables was not there until 11 o'clock, and
Before that, 249 votes were received. After the
book came the Republican Inspector at
tempted to challenge, 'Whereupon the crowd
' threatened to pull him from the window if he
did not stop. "Doggy" Dougherty was out
: ,side vouching:for men. Twenty-four'names
1,1: were personated, or the votes proven to be
•,,•,•,'• illegal. Thirty-four persons not on the
list of taxables voted , without any
in,• ; • proof of • qualificaticin being required.
• - They voted ininors,people who were dead and
~, ' „.insaue members of the Almshouse, thus
••:•,•robbing the cradle, the grave and the
house.
These model election officers in October
403 votes, but in November they
.. !.; - sheived what' they could d 0 by giving 1.,041;
• . votes, whereas the DiVieion is a small one,
containing not more than.4oo Voters.
Mr: . l.laain nest took up the Eighth Division
' of the Ninth Ward: The list of. taxables shows,
names finarked as voting, with four
names added: The list of voters shows 099 .
,navies of persons voting. :The objectwas riot
to affeet the whole division, but to show what,
occurred the last three-hours He read the
testimony of a lady whO saw.a gang of about
twenty men in an alley selecting names and
pecupationS 'froin, an. assessment 'BAC The
witness was up stairs, looking down upon the
crowd.Ond lneard the arrangement and gave the
inforniation.• Another witness corroborated
" this by following the party to the polls and
challenging them, but failed because he was
threat - OW(1. They vouched for each other.
• Johnny Lazarus was in the crowd. The proof
also showed 20 illegal votes polled during the
list-three hours, with unassessed votes to. the
nuinber of 14: The list of illegal votes is as
folloWs, and attention was called to the fact
, • that On tholist they follow in regular order :

'aqaguire — resictect --- 1
The lady's testimony was thus corroborated
by showing the receipt of these illegal totes in
regular order. They found out that her hus
band -was- on--the police force, and -within
twenty-four hours after this testimony was
given, her husband was discharged. That is
the only answer given to this testimony by the
respondents.
Mr. Mann next took up the Sixth Division
of the Seventeenth Ward, but before entering
into details the Court ordered a recess. •
rUptin thereassenibling •of the Court, Mr:
Mann resumed, showing the manner in which
the election was conducted in the Division.
The testimony was read in support of the alle
gation of the reception of the fraudulent votes.
James McGuckin Was the Democratic In
spector at this poll, and for his conduct on this
occasion he has received his reward in the
shape of an appointment as a special officer
under the Mayor. Votes were received the
first hour in the absence of the Republican
officers, and the list of voters shows that the
alphabetical list was so closely followed that
every man is marked ate voting
The Seventh Division of the Seventeenth
Ward nett claimed attention. Thee are 337
names on the list of taxables marked hs voting,
and two added, while on the list of voters there
are 438 names, making 100 votes not marked
or not on the book. There are 44 votes whose
names are not on the book or not added, leav
ing 56 votes whose names are there, but who
have not been marked, showing that the book
was not generally used. But one challenge was
regarded through the day.
In the-Fourth DivisiOn of. the:. Twenty-fifth
'Ward the allegation is that the officers opened
the polls and made no examination of the
voters and took no proofS: There were but
three challenges during the_day, and no natu
ralization paperawere required, although four
fifths of the voters were foreigners. There
were 51 votes received of unassessed persons,
as well as the false personations. In the Six
teenth Division of the Twentieth Ward there
was a gross fraud, the election officers taking
whole bundles of ,tickets intended
for the I epuhlicans and counting them for the.
Democrats. A count.of the tickets in the box
showed this fact, making a dithirence of 64
votes in favor of Gent:rill Tyndale. ' The
SeVenth -mid Twelfth Divisions• of the Fif
teenth Ward, the First Division of the Fifth
Ward; and Eighth 7 Jl% .r;
s.on of the Twenty
third Ward, were referred to and the frauds
referred' , to at length. In the Twelfth Di-
Of - thd - Fifteenth Ward, there is
miStalte of 100 votes against ( tokr. -- Tyntialc.

In regard to the 'Supreme Court naturaliza
itions shows that there was a doubt in regard'
to the legarity.hand this relieves , thtt election
'officers of the charge of acting corruptly.'
It was shown by J. -Ross Snowden - that

'before the October election—in - the space' of
'one month. ' That irresponsible' persons, had'.

evidence that `such certificates had been left
at the house§ of persons, and• delivered to
them, when such persons had never been to
Court'to obtain them, or to make any . ' proof.
That hundreds of persons were granted, certi-.

the Judge when present,. That , the 1 judicial
powers had been in such cases delegated to
the.Prothonotary and tipstaffii, and that, in
consequence of this, the grossest imposition
and frauds were practiced 2 and to such an ex
tent as to cause 'the election officers to, look
with suspicion on such certificates's° granted
and obtained, and in, some instances to reject
With all these facts known, commented upon
by the'publie''press, the community excited
Over them, it surely cannot- be seriously con-,
tended that the election Officers; in rejecting
certificates issued by the Supreme Court in
September and' October, acted from' corrupt
motives: The few who'did reject them have
all been examined—thirteen of them, and by
their honest and consistent . evidence, com
pletely destroy any such inference. !As the
officers in rejecting these certificates' acted in
good faith-,their conduct' if wrong cannot
affect the election held in those divisions—and
the individual cases proved really become in
significant. ,•,: -.
Those who were produced and who proved
that they 'offeibil ,to vote the Democratic
ticket., ainount in number to at. The ethers,
of whom evidence is given, have not appeared
to prove their right to vote, or for whom they
desired to cast their ballets.
Mr. Mann next aildressed himself to the
prayer of the respondents to have certain Di
visions Stricken out, and at some length re
ferred to the evidence upon this subject, corn
. mencing with the Second Division of the
First Ward.
VIRGINIA AND THE TEST OATH,
How the Attorney-General's Opinion is
Received in Virginia.
From the papers reaching us yesterday we
gather some items about the. reception of the
Attorney-General's opinion on the test oath. I •
The Richmond State Journal (Wells-Radical):
says :
"The opinion bolas somewhat differently
from what we had thought to be the law in a
single respect:. but; in'the main, it accords
with-the views which we haVe aver and Over
again expressed in these columns. (The
oinion is here summariedd In holding that
this- preliminary session " of the Legislature
will be constitutional; and not provisional,
the AttorneY-General expresses an opinion
different from the one which we have main . -
tabled in these columns. While indisposed to
accede to the soundness of this view, we will
ingly accord to it the merit of honesty and sin
cerity, and are glad that the ingenuity of the.
Attorney-ti eneral has discovered an escape
from the test oath Which had . not dishlosed - .
itself to our own invention and perception."
In another column the .journal says :
"As all these things"seem to be legal and
regular, there will he no complaint on the part
of any Republican in Virginia. We bciw to
the law; not only. with reverence but with
alacrity. We shall not follow the example a
our opponents, in railing at the expounders
and executors of-the law, or in cursing the
stars that shine with sinister or benignant light
upon the Commonwealth and the fortunes of its
political parties. We sustain - the law. We sits
tain the Administration. We bow cheerfully and
reverently to the behests of both. Let the
Legislature assemble. Let it elect its officers.
Let it ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. Let
it adjourn or not adjourn as the authorities
may see-fit--to -order: And let its action and
its temper be the standard by which Congress
shall judge whether it may be trusted with
power over the Republican Constitution which
the people of Virginia have ratified, and with
the political destinies of Virginia."
The Norfolk Herald (Dorn.) has this to say,
prefacing the significant title %Saved:"
"We look upon the action of the govern
ment in not requiring the test oath of the
members of the Legislature elect. as the very
saltation of Virginia. Those who. now consti
tute a majority of that body are identified
with herinterests,and are alive to them. They
know her wants, and they will secure them
for her. They willhe judicious in taxing her
people, in expending her finances, and in en
acting laWs to carry out the provisions
of the
new constitution. 'To carry out many of those
provisions, such •as entirely alter
the time-honured institutions of their
lathers. the Legislature will 'make
baste slowly." Virginia's - noble institutions
