Mr. Lyres had a perfect right to vote for Uuted States, St.te or county officers, even if ne tad lived | but one dey in the district where he offered his vote. He did not offer to vote for ward or distri ollivers, | tecavee the law prohivited him from so doing. Tais law was wisely framed for Parpoxe of preventing the colonizati:n of voiers; for should | there be known to be a lurge majority in avy of the wards or districts ia favor of apy party, aud a mui- nority ‘n any of the others, it prohibits 4 colonizu- tion of voters to the min rity ward or district, by re- | quiring a residence of thirty days thervin previous | to the day of election; but there is nothing in the | law to prevent a citizen and a taxpayer frem exer- cieng bis sight of suffrage for the candidates for which Mr. Lynes desired to cast his vote. Mr. Lynes has therefore been deprived of his rignts, through | the ignorance of an Inspector of Clections, and, in addition, ia held to bail to anawer for an alieged crime, and insulted with gratuitous remarka upon bis personal appearavoe and character, although so well and £0 favorably known in this com- munity. On Tuesday last the complaint was bronght before the Grand Jury,and was ignored without dissenting voice. The incomperent Inspector of Flectionx, and the learned expounder of the law may consider themselves tortunate if Mr. Lynes does not cat’ them to account before the | Grand Jury for depriving bum of his legal rights. | Jusrirts. | Navel Fere in Sew Yorm Harbor.
