A Corrupted Ballot at the East. The Aliia^y correspondent of the New York vjftW* makes the followiug statement in relation the trade in votes at tho late elections in the State of New York: "From llensBelaer, Columbia:" Saratoga and Albany.counties, the universal statement ji flhit..money flowed like water, and that ifthis practice is to continue the officers must.be set up to the highest bidder. Electors'' marelicd up to the polls under the convny of some wellknown ward politician, who placed" tickets in their hands as tliey reached the ballot-boxes, and after depositing their votes, took ont bis pocket book aud paid them their one, two, three, five or ten dollars, as the case might be, before hundreds of people, without even the moekg 4eeency of rctirin:.- to one side. Party leaders had»to buy up their own voters, who refused to exercise their privilege until a satisfactory sum of money was placed in their hands. At least onequarter of the voters of the city of Albany were bribed, or received compensation for their votes. No persons arc more willing to get rid of this evil than the party leaders, yet they say that they are powerless. The men are there, and if they do not vote the ticket of their party they will that of the other. To prevent their defeat, they commit the offense of bribery. Twenty-five dollars were paid for votes on the election dav." W -fw,'

From the Albany (New York) Argus.

Are we to have a Reign of Terror? France had its reign of terror, when ifleu anu women irreDroachable cliuracter were condemned and executed upon suspicion, without evidence, of cntertaiuing opinions adverso to the principles aud policy of those engaged in the slaughter of innocent people.' Of the few accused, the few who escaped the guillotine, like St. Meard, Sicard%nd Beaumarchais, suffered as few can and survive. Women of*rank and refinement and peasant girls were alike the objects of fiendish vengeance their heads were severed from their bodies, and carried through the streets ^n poles or pikes, and their bodies horribly mutilated and thrown into the pits dug for the victims of the political policy of Itobespicrro, Danton, Marat aud others, who sought to exterminate their political opponents. Tho machinery which they invented and put in practice was, eventually, applied to themselves, and rid the world of monsters whose barbarity and savage brutality exceeded anything recorded in the pages of history._ The civilized world condemns those atrocious acts, and their authors have been, by common cohBent, consigned to everlasting infamy. j|£ Vfff

Few civil wars have been exempt from kindred enormities. Neither St. Domingo, China, nor our oyn y. rnc spirit which actuated llobespierre, Danton, Marat, and others, is no stranger in our country. It is everywhere manifested by extreme men, and is not concealed by those whose feelings and raotious they control. It. is most usually exhibited toward those who mistook their duty and engaged in the late rebellion but recently it has extended to nearly every white man resident in the secession States. Now it icaclies all, wherever they reside, who do not subscribe to and entertain the theories and their practical application by the Radical Republicans. Observing men discover unmistakable evidence of this spirit throughout the active and controlling portions of the Radical party. It is more or less apuarcnt in every neighborhood. A disposition to exterminate those of independent and differing opinions is everywhere manifested, and toward Southern white men it is openly avowed. The purpose of exterminating the Southern men, and the confiscation and distribution of their property, has been proposed by those in high places who control the action ot their party.

Parson Brownlow has distinctly avowed the whole policy, praying that he might have a hand in its execution. Gencial Butler, who expect", to lead the next Congress, and to become the Radical candidate for the Presidency, in a moment of excitement, proclaimed his wishes on this subject. To his unwilling auditors in New York, he said: "You poor fools, I have faced your superiors iu Baltimore and New Orleans. I have hanged your betterr.. If you do not behave yourselves, I shall have the pleasure, of seeing you hung. Do you think I am going to flinch? Do you think you are equal to the ne- I gro?" lie thus tells the people of the Empire City that they are not the equal of negroes or if they do not confirm to his wishes, in political matters, he will

be made happy by seeing them hung. I That he will uot flinch from whatever lie may deem necessary to accomplish this object. He occupies precisely the same ground as the sanguinary nieu who voted during the reign of terror

France. Men, women, and cveu chil-

dren were arrested imprisoned aud euil-

resemble those in France in the early stiiges of her revolution. The ruling faction seek to strike down those in power who differ with them in opiuion, as they did in that ill-fated country. Even now extermination is openly proposed as a means of securing permenant power, and the distribution of estates is held out as a reward to those accomplishing that result. Constitutional rights arc to be swept away from those who do uot coniform. No extent of goodness and virtue is a protection to those who differ in opinion. They must be wiped out. None but negroes are esteemed worthy 4)f full protection. Although a vast majority of them aided the rebellion, and fought to secure its success, they are the only persons free from political .sins. The Radicals pray for the blood of the

Southern whites who do not yield ready journals that, at the close of each politiobcdienco. The feeling toward them I eal contest, proceed to pronounce the is fast spreading through the North. Brownlow and Butler have developed the feeling. There is not a town, or cveu a school district, where our readers can not see this feeding budding, if it has not grown and ripened, bearing its bitter fruits. Every interest in society is sacrificed for the spread of this feeling. The Brownlows, Wades and Butlers follow in the footsteps of Robespierre, Danton and Marat. The more recent his conversion, the more terrible his impulse. Will the people calmly submit and yield to the storm, or arouse themselves before it is too lata, aud arrest the horrid tendency of affairs? Maryland has set the example. Shall New York follow, or cow down under Butler's threat of "pleasure" it) seeiug her citizens hung?

fin AND ARMY.—It appears that the injunction of secrecy, as far as related to the publication of the convention was concerned, was removed before the finql adjournment on Wednesday evening, and a full report has therefore matte its appearance i.

Aside from the adoption of the rules and regulations, which are not published on account, of their length, it was voted to make the Great Republic newspaper the organ of the order, and a series of resolutions, which we append, considered and adopted:

We, the representatives of the soldiers and sailors of the military and naval service of the United States during the late war against traitors, reaffirming our devotion to these States, the Constitution and the laws of our country, and our abhorrence of treason afid oppression.

Resolved, That the Grand Army of the Republic is organized to maintain in civil life those great principles for which it stood in arms under the national Aug that it stands pledged to crush out active treason, to advunce and support active loyalty, W —i oonstitutional liberty to all men, and to vindicate"everywhere and at all times the full and complete rights of every loyal American citizens against all combinations of force or fraud that may attempt to deny or deprive them of such rights.

Resolved, That we pledge all the power and iuiluenee which, as individuals or as an association, we can legitimately wield, in the most cspccial manner, to those gallant uien who stood fast by the country iu the hour of its agony, iu the rebellious States, and who, through all manner of losses and injuries, persecutions by force and persecution under color of law. maintained their integrity and vindicated their loyalty ami we solemnly declare that no power that we can use shall be neglected, until they arc thoroughly and completely protected in the active exercise of every right of American freemen through the entire country over which our flag floats.

Resolved, That Congress, in justice, and not iu charity, should pass a law equalizing, in a just manner, the bounties of Uuion soldiers and sailors.

Resolvedj That we now, as heretofore, pledge ourselves to use our best, endeavors to procurc appropriate State and National legislation for the education aud maintenance of the orphans and widows of deceased comrades and our maimed brethren aud to enforce a speedy adjust-

WEEKLY REVIEW.

The Strength of the two Parties. Below we give the official vote polled by the two parties in the five priucipal States of the North:

Democratic

New ork 354,491 Pennsylvania 290.034 Ohio 313 600 Indiana 155.102 Illinois 147,15H

Republican 300.133 308.250 250,302 169,018 203,245

1.160,391 1,306.648

It will be seen that the Democratic conservative vote aggregates the immense number of 1,100,301, and that out of a poll of 2,40(5,939, the radical party has only a majority of 14G.1G7, a mere decimal of the entire vote. In New York Suite the radical majority is 14.042, less than one per cent, of the entire uttmbcr cast. These figures present a formidable argument to that class of politicians and

Democratic party dead, and exhibit a desire to have some one administer on its effects. They also should prove to those of our own way of thinking but who after each defeat are cast down aud despondent,. and hint abstractly at desertion from the principles of the party and "flank movements against radicalism," that death is as far removed from the door of the Democratic conservative party as it ever has been in the most adverse times of the past. It would take no extraordinary change of political sentiment in this State to overcome the radical majority of last Octobcr, and so it may be said of New Y'ork aud Pennsylvania.

The greatest anomaly iu the table presented above is the radical vote in Illinois, which is in excess of 50,087 over the Democratic strength. It is difficult to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion of this result, and can be accounted for only on the grouud of the immense soldier popularity of the radical candidates. The campaign on the part of the radicals was conducted as iu this State solely by an appeal to those passious of the people that had been inflamed and become intensified by the war, and through the workings of a secret organization that had its ramifications in almost every school district of the State, the radical faction had it all their own way. All the old rancor and prejudice that grew up with the war, which was as senseless as bitter, and which should have long since died out, was the most formidable argument used by the radical^ and opposed to this the temperate and dispassionate discussion of principles stood but a poor showing. No man ofSommon understanding, whatever may be his own powers of persuasion, -^can bring himself to conclude that a party whose chief interests centcr in New England, and whose patronage and power is directed to the advancement of East«riu interests, cau long maintain an ascendaucy with a people of the character of the Illinois farmers. Wo do not \vn«li/uKtoD hoi!!1

'•"'•h section of the country runs a stroiij. popular current vc umfuuni love, and when the people are made to believe the national existence is jeopardized it is no difficuit task to turn tho current to the advantage of wily and demagougical politicians of the Morton-Logau class. Men have little regard for party fealty, and less compunction in breaking party ties and associations when they feel that by acting with a political organization they are endaugcriug the stability of the country, and whether right, or wrong, it is an exhibition of patriotism and solicitude for the safety of our institutions as noble and grand as any record of those sturdy aud liberty loving people of flic anefnnt. republics. Once assure the people that ganger is no where threatened and that safety is as universal as substaustial, and it will be no difficult matter to interest them iu questions of domestic politics. Convince the Illinois farmer of the stability of the Government and afterwards be may listen to the discussions of questions that effect his pecuniary interests.

nterpretation of law. Though rather vague and general in the language employed, the idea creeps out very plainly that the G. A. R. favor the radical notion of "impartial manhood suffrage." In consonance with the decision of Judge Gregory the word white is omitted from the vocabulary of the G. A. R. and the order goes the whole for vindicating "the full and complete rights of every"loyal American citizen." There is no limitation in the G. A. R.'s advocacy of suffrage. Intelligence aud capacity are not to be regarded as qualifications for votiu", but only manhood, then color shall nolonger be a bar to the ballot box. We do not see that any other construction can fairly be placed upon the sentiment we have extracted from the resolutions adopted by the G. A. R., especially as we have often been assured from the same source that "loyal" white American citizens were few and far between in the rebellions States luring the rebellion, and that the negroes were very "loyal," with|butfew exceptions. We can then fairly set the G. A. R. down as in favor of negro suffrage upon the single condition of manhood, no matter how degraded, or ignorant the recently liberated slaves in the Southern States may be.—<Indianapolis Herald>. ---<>---

AN UNBELIEVER..—A Salt Lake correspondent of the Boston Advertiser don't [sic] believe the railroads destined to cross the plains are all progressing as fast as many are induced to believe. About the Central

Pacific road, the writer says: The credulous and unsuspicious public at the East imagine that this road will be completed within four or five years at the outside. I assert that it is a matter susceptible of mathematical proof that at the present rate of progress it will take at least ten years to complete the railroad from the Misouri [sic] to the Sierra Nevada and further that there is no prospect of the road being built any faster than as it will pay its own expenses. At present an unusual amount of energy is being dis- played at each end of the line, owing entirely to a rivalry between different branches to &ee which can secure the Colorado traffic on the east, and the Nevada on the west. ---<>---

THE WASHINGTON GENUALOOY.—Mr. Joseph Chester, an American living in London, has been looking up Washington's lineage, and proves, to his own satisfaction at least, that the received genealogy is incorrect. He says:

In the year 1657, two brothers, John and Lawrence Washington, left England for the Virginia colony. The geneaolo»y from these brothers down, is Of course easily traced with entire accuracy. John

THE "original oil man" died a few days since in New Orleans. His name was Tripp, and he was well known in Buffalo and throughout Clinada. He was the person who first- brought specimens of oil^and earth from Enniskillen, Canada, and endeavored to interest capitalists in Boston and in New York to bore wells fnr oils, uuil to inanu/acture gas from the soil which was impregnated with oil. After striving, until his patience was threadbare, to interest capitalists in the undertaking which was so clear to his mind as a safe investment, he wandered off to distant regions to contend with poverty and disappointment, while others have since gone in and found fortunes in the mine of wealth discovered by him.
