The Electione—Triumph of the Conservatives Manner of Conducting Them—Polling Scenes im the Churches—The Pressures Brought te Bear on the Canvase—The Habeas Cerpus e@ Fraud. Rio JANEIRO, Sept. 25, 1868, The municipal elections are now over in all parts of the empire, but only @ part of the returns are yet known bere. However, with only two or three ex- ceptions, the conservatives have carried those elec- tions reported with @ rush, the liberals being no- where, @ result which I predicted in former letters as @ necessary Consequence of the way matters are managed in this blessed land of the holy cross, as Brazilian orators call it. Probably your readers would like to know the forms observed in Brazilian elections. The scene of the ward voting is the parish church, of course Roman Catholic. A long table is placed, end on, close below the great altar. At its head neat the altar sits the presiding officer, a justice of the peace, with the voting urn before him, and close to him, at the sides, ait the four mesarios, or acrutineers, two on each aside, each pair being generally chosen by the opposing parties, Behind these elec- tion judgea stand the ward inspectors, tnspectores de quarteiram, and others supposed to be acquainted with the voters of the ward and the public in general, or so many as may be admitted. Some police are stationed at the door to keep order; but by law, neither police, national guards nor sol- diers are to enter the church unicas their presence be demanded by the junta to maintain order. The qualifications of vo'ers is the possessing or earning of @ yearly income of 200 miireis, the belonging to certain professions and faculties, the being a priest or an officer, &c. Lists of voters who have established their qualifications are drawn up and copies of them are furniahe d to the junta of judges of elections for theiruse. All being thus ready, the names on the list are called out, one by one, inside and outside tne church, If the voter be present or some one to per- sonify him he shouts, “Promto” (ready), and makes his way to the junia, If his identity be doubted, the justice of the peace and the mesartos decide by the majority whether he will be allowed to vote or be re- Jected. If his vote be accepted, he drops his ticket, folded 80 as not to be read, into the urn, and tho pext naine is called. The list 1s thus called over three times and the election thus occupies usually three days. Not ul uently objections will be taken, either to the presidency of the justice of the peace, because of some alleged or real incapacity to reside or because of irregularities or unfairness in the proceedings. In such cases the objectors will establish other elections in other churches, aud in this way three elections are sometimes going on sl- multaneously in the same ward, and the legality of them is fixed by the president of the province, who is even empowered to quash the whole of these or any other election he sees fit, submitting his aciion to the ultimate decision of the sence government, Notwithstanding the sanctity of the place for Voting, aud the presence of all those religious ad- junct# which were supposed would inspire awe aud respect and repress turbulence and roguery, the Bra- zilian churches become very often the scenes of the greatest disorder and of even bioudshed, and the most sacred objects and utensils of the oman Catho- lic religion are freely used as weapons. The churches in Brazil swarm with small images of saints, cruct- fixes and devotional offerings of all kinds, including wax models of legs, arms, heads, feet. breasts, &c., presented in compliance with vows made by the sul- ferers. In case of rows in the churches, therefore, When sticks, knives and revolvers cease to supply & sulticiency of weapons, legs, arins, head, feet, breasts, crucifixes and saints fy in all directions. These salntly and devotional missiles are, however, now not so accessible aa they were a few years ago, as the clergy generally take care to lock them up out of the way and to clear the altars, A few years ago, before this precaution was in force in Kio, a row of the kind occurred in one of the principal aud most aristocratic wards of the city, and in a few minutes everything portable on the wails and altars was con- verted into Weapons, The justice of the peace and the mesarios stuck to their places like pitch; they woulda’t break up the eiection do what their oppo- nents might, and they heid on like men consvious of thelr duty and of the approval of the saint of the church, whose huge and massy image smiled be- niguantly upon them from tue altar which reared itself behind them. But their faith in his protecting oversight was sadly shaken when they saw five or six men climb upon the altar and set themselves lustily to work upset the massive image upon them. Duty to their party could stand no more, chairs, table and urn were hed away, and the junta and its supporters cledred from the place - oe double quick and leit their adversaries vic- ous. The thirteen signers of the liberal manifesto re- cently issued are all men of high standing, com- prising late ministers, Senators and deputies of the empire, Councillors of State and the President of the Supreme Court of the empire. The advice given b them was generally obeyed, and the liberais ed to vote in almost all the wards. In one of the su! urbs, however, the manifesto did not arrive until after the liberals had gained the ward, it being the residence of weil off voters who could not ‘teas easily coerced by the police and other government influences. sf The population of the a pl of Rio Janciro 1g 600,000 or 600,000, contained in-an area of about ninety square miles, which, like the District of Columbia, is directly dependent upon the national government, Atthe contest municipal eiec- ton of 1264, before the war, the highest number of Votes cast was 6,0¢4, while at this election, notwith- standing so many voters are dead or in service in Paraguay, 7,659 votes were cast for the conservative ticket, Wilich fact alone would be prima sacle evi- dence of fraud. Indeed, in one of the wards 160 tickets were cast more than the whole number of listed eee wow p.--J ES eae a nese was caught in the act of drop, a ‘age of con- servative tickets into the urn. ‘Thus is @ very com- mon trick in Brazil, and very frequently a fight is got - im the chureh on to favor an opportunity of doing #0 in the contusion, or of stealing or smash- ing the urn. So many voters being away peraonifi- cations were carried on to ® gros extent, and one man alone is said to have voled seven times in the one ward, belying the nickname of phosphoro— match—given here to the personiver—Dbecease he can go off ouly once, One oro actually tried to vote for the Admiral of the Brazilian squadron in bho op Se ge! another voted fora voter who was psesent, the it who was rejected for phosphoro.

Second, the power given to the govern- ment-appointed officers ef the national guard to draft whom they choose for service in Paraguay or in distant parts of the province. Third, the preasing of men ferthe army aud navy every man not in the national or belonging to the learned classes and such like being liable to be setzed and sent off, the practice being that uo exemption is regarded if the pressed man belong to the wro noxious to some ene with pewer.
