EVENING STAR. WEDNESDA » OULD B® LEFT at THE Orvice aY OTHKRWISE THEY MAY NOT APPEAR = : ONTIA TRE NEXT DAT SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union argues at length to prove that the aim of the Republican party is neither more nor Jess than to change the form and character of the government. Upon the alle- gations of fraud against the Democracy in the recent Pennsylvania election, the Union quotes the Philadelphia Ledger, which puts to flight all such stories, as follows: - Tue Caances or Erection Fravps.—Copy- ing after the partisan papers of icp pe the journals of distant cities are dec! re against the alleged frauds committed in our election last Tuesday. Some of our own jour- nals, without examining the vote and the re- spective gains of the two parties, reiterate the same charges, the tendency of which is to bring diseredit uvon p= suffrage, and ultimately to deprive the people of this guar- aptee of their liberties. If it is once made manifest the people are not to be trusted in elections, that elections cannot be conducted fairly, and that the majority may be always cheated out of their choice by corrupt and dishonest practices, it will not take many years so to discredit this popular mode of choosing our rulers that it will be universally regarded with contempt, and its decisions be nm: ither respected nor acquiesced in by a large body of our fellow-citizens. The result will be the adoption of some form of election that will exclude the mass of the people altogether, or a civil commotion will follow at every eleo- tion, in which the strong arm will be necessary to sustain the majority of votes before the de- feated party will submit to the popular decree. ‘These results are serious enough in anticipa- tion to make us pause before we indulge in charges recklessly made without a shadow of evidence, or entertain unfounded suspicions which a moment’s examiration of the facts will remove. . » The charges of fraud in the election on Tues- day last appear to be based entirely upon the ine: yote of the city The aggregate official vote for the two candidates fur Mayor in May last amounted to 54,979. The aggre- — official vote for the two candidates for ‘anal Commissioner on Tuesday last was 68,642, or an increased vote of 13.663. Ina pulation of half a million inhabitants, which Piliadelphia possesses, it will not be pretended that this vote reaches the fair proportion of persons entitled to that privilege 1t is not more than two-thirdsof the number of persons legally entitled tothat right New York casts @ lese aggregate vote than Philadelphia, and has for many years, because New York has a higher relative foreign population not entitled tosuffrage It will be remembered that an extraordinary excitement preceded our elec- tion, and extraordinary activity was used by all parties to bring cut the voters A third party was in the field, which brought out per sons who do not usually go to the yolis; and, moreover, the same increase of votes is shown throughout the State, aid in some counties a much greater increase than in Phila is There is nothing, then, in the increa which is suggestive of fraud Let whether in the proportionate giins of the tw parties there is any reasonable ground for such suspicion The vote on Tuesday last for the De:nce rat- ie candidate for Canal Commissioner was az follows: Vaux, Dem., in May last Democratic increase....... 6,504 The vote for the Fusion candidate for Canai Commissioner on Tuesday last was as follows: Cochran....... 32 604 For Mocre, Am 445 ” Fusion increase....++.... + 7,349 This comparizon shows that the 13.853 in- creased vote over May is very nearly equally divided, the Union ticket having only 5i5 more votes of the increased assessment than the Democratic ticket. If the increased vot» is indicative of fraud, one party appears to he as justly chargeable with it asthe other. It will not do for the defeated party to charge it all upon the other, when its own vote exhibits relatively a greater increase. But we do not believe that fraud had any thing to do with this result. It is the natural effect of the ex- traordinary efforts made by the various par- ties to bring out all the votes of their pre- eincts Previously concocted schemes of cheating could not turn out relatively so equal in their results Why, then, refer it to fraud, which would involve both parties in attempts ssession of the Government by crimi- nal practices, and would show a demoraliza- tion of the people in political matters as to make the preservatiun of popular institutions searcely worth the trouble? Would it not be more creditable to the people and to popular government to suppose it to be the result of causes legally proper in themselves and suffi- cient to produce the result when such cau<es are brought into active operation’? If any citizen knows enough of euch matters to be able to charge fraud in an clectioa, he ought to go into a court of justice and endeavor to rove it. if he does not do so, he shows that has no such evidence and his charge is un- founded Let usone and ail de what we can to preserve the purity and honesty of our elec- tions, and avoid diserediting them by unfound- ed charges as well as by fraudulent practices The Intelligencer thus appropriately de- scribes the eucertainment given on the night before last by the President to the municipal authorities and the volunteer staff of this Dis- trict and other citizens of Washfigton without distinction of party: “ In courteous acknowledgment of the de monstration of respect and attention to the President of the United States by the author- ities, citizens, and citizen soldiery of Wash- ington, without party difference, on his late leaving the city for a temporary visit to the East and his return hither, as weil as on prior cccasiong, the President ou Monday iesued in- vitations for an evering call upon him at the official mansion ‘The invitations were, we resume, universally accepted, and accord- gly the company was numerous, about two hundred.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. 1's No Use—He Can't Be Eleoted.—Our gentle neighbor is positively certain that Fre- mont cannot be elected. While he sees in the recent elections in Pennsylvania and Indiana positive proof that Fremont is a dead eock in the pit—to borrow a choice phraso of that model journal, the Richmond Whig—his spec- tacles no less certainly convince him as he scans the last returns from the two States named above, that Fillmore is bound to win onthe 4th proximo. Won't his Washington City followers bet a few odd thousands on his judgment in this matter, by way of increasing their enormous winnings when betting on it against Wise, and last week in the Pennsyl- vania election ? Gentlemen who won so much on these occa- sions should by all means venture a little more upon the capital judgment of our amiable and farseeing neighbor His opinion with refer- ence to Fremont’s prospects is sound. We ep- dorse it as heartily as we also endorse the opinion of the New York Tribune and Herald with reference to Fillmore’s prospects. In- deed, all the opposition journals are just now hard at work, proving beyond question that Buchanan is to be the next President of the United States. For while what they (the Fillmore and Fremont newspapers) are saying about the prospects of their respective candi- didates commands the confidence (belief) of nobody, it is very clear that what they say each in exposure of the utter hopelessness of the cause of the candidate of the other, must carry conviction to the minds of all sensible readers. We regret a want of space in which to show our readers from their own columns how conclusively the Tribune and Herald prove the atter hopelessness of Fillmore’s cause, and also how the New York Express and our interesting and candid neighbor show the utter hopelessness of the cause of Fremort They are all working right merrily for the De- mocracy just now. The Allegation.—Thbe papers that allege that the Democrats carried the recent Penu- sylvania election by fraud, should, by all means, make their stories agree betier. Each one of them has a contradictory ac- count of how the thing was done, while not a few of them contradict and disprove their allegations ere they finish stating them, Thus, » Philadelphia correspondent in the New York Herald of the day before yes- terday, gravely eays that the election in that city was carried by the reception in the bal- lot boxes of some six thoysand fraudulent votes for the Democrats. In almost his next sentence he raves against somo (alleged) 5,000 Fil urners of the city who treacherously deserted the Union ticket and voted with the Democrats. Were either story true there would be no difficalty in accounting ivr the dilemma in which the oppesition in Philadel- phia found themselves on Tuesday night last, as either would account for their defeat. One or the other of them must be false. But the truth is, both are falae. Under the Pennsylvania election law the Polling piaces are so numerous in Philadelphia as that no more than four hundred votes can be received in any one box This fact renders an etection fraud other than that of prevent- ing voters from reaching the polling windows, almost an utter impossibility. As yet we have heard of but the receipt of one single ballot by Dewocratic ejection judges in that city that was protested against by the judge belonging to the other party—only one single ballot! When the polls closed, and ere the votes were counted, all men of all parties in Philadelphia were loud in praise of the serupulous fairness and remarkable peacefulness with which the election had been conducted throughout the entire city. Make a Note On’t.—During the late extra session of Congress the Hon. Mr. Sapp, of Ohio, received a very long and expensive tele- graphic dispatch from his district, saying that at that moment there was in council at Mount Vernon (a town in his district) a meeting of 20,000 indignant freemen, who had passed a resolution commanding him to stand firm in opposition to the enactment of the Army bill without the provisu; pledging bis district to sustain him with almost entire unanimity ; denouncing the policy and alleged acts of the Administration with reference to Kansas, and ‘‘cutting up’’ a multitude of other very ultra and uo less fuoligh antics. That dispatch was exhibited around tie House hall as proot that the people were with those seeking to revolu- tionize the Government at that time. Un Tues- day of last week the real people of bis district spoke. They ‘‘ backed” the Hon. Mr. Sapp, not as that meeting pledged that he would be “backed.’’ ‘ The people of the district will back you,’’ said the remarkuble dispatch, Well, they have “ backed” him—down. He was elected by 2,600 majority to the present Congress, and has been turned neck and heels out of the next Congress. Great Cry and Little Wool.—The indig- bant co:aments of the opposition press North and South, upem the recent alleged convoca- tion of the Governors of the Southern States at Raleigh, N. C., have amused us not a little, insomuch as we have every reason to feel assured that the story that such of them as attended the North Carolina agricultural State fair met there Qaly iu attendance on that in- teresting exhihition. Only four were present, we belicve. The Governors of North and South Caroljua, Virginia and Louisiane We are among those who sincerely hope that the Southern States may never be without chief magistrate s ready at any necessary moment to consult uf on the line of their duty on questions vitally isaportant to their section of the con- federacy. In these days, when a powerful party in the North seek the control of the Gov- ernment on the express plea thet they aim to batter do wn the guarantees of the Constitution, it is high time for the Governors and all other fanctioraries in. all the Southern States to be alive to every possible requirement of their respective pr sitions. Passengsr Tax.—It appears. from the an- nual rep rt of the affairs of the Baltimore snd Uhio Railroad Company, just published— ani widch are represented as in a highly flouri sbing condition—that the amount paid to t'se State of Maryl ryland dgring the year, for her. bonus of . tit over the W to the sum of $73,059 11—being thirty-one Per cent. of the net earnings. The company is required by law to pay one- | fifth of the receipts; in other words, passen- | gers through Maryland are taxed to this ex- | tent—a proceeding manifestly unjust, and the receipts from the passengers | ashington branch, has amounted | } From Lands. ment should not longer remain upon the sta- tute book This extortion is that of the State, not of the company—it should be recol- lected. Con-F usion.—The State mass convention in session at Harrisburg, Pa., yesterday, that endorsed the ‘* Fusion” ticket made, since the recent election, at Philadelphia, by Thad. Ste- vens, Wm. F. Johnston, Thurlow Weed, Hor ace Greeley and Bob Purvis, on one side, and two members only of the American party’s State, Committee on the other side, was com- posed wholly of Fremonters, some of whom professed, up to Tuesday of last week, to be Fillmore men only to cheat the real Fillmour- ners into following them over into the Fremont camp. The Fillmore State Committee consists of twenty-two individuals, only two of whom have, so far, open/y deserted Fillmore’s caure. Sanderson and the nincteen acting with him are correct in declaring that it will be utterly impossible to transfer all the Fillmore votes of Pennsylvania over to Fremont. We saw un- mistakable proof of that fact when traversing that State not long since. It is really imma- teriel whether they ‘‘fuse’’ or not, as, per- haps, one-fourth of Fillmore’s strength there will, under any and all circumstances, refuse to be sold for—Mariposa stock, or any other consideration. Resigned. —We hear that Judge Minot, of New Hampshire, the Commissioner of Pen- sions, resigned that position to-day. His pri- vate business at home is said to have been the cause of his resignation. He acquired a high reputation as an executive officer indeed dur ing his comparatively brief connection with the Pension Bureau, and will carry into his retirement from public life the respect and regard of all with whom he came in contact officially in the Federal city, The fecretary of the Navy, according to a letter received from him this morning in the Navy Department, will be in Washington, to resume the duties of his post, on the 30th inst. His many friends will rejoice to learn that his health has been much improved by his visit to bis home in North Carolina.
