Hew Democrats Vote and Count in New York.

According to the returns of the InspectpnAOjf Section, not a vote was cast in the Nineteenth Ward for Mr. Thomas W. Kearney, one of the candidates for the Marine* Court Judgeship. Mr. Kearney had lived in the Nineteenth Ward over thirteen years. Over Six hundred persons in that ward have sworn that they voted for him. Mr. Kearney has the list in his possession. is, txiMible that the Tammany* HUpeotirs made these returns for the purpose 'of killing the outside Democratic organization- that nominated Mr. Kearney. The returns are false on their face. Jacob Cohen was nominated for Superviaor,. three. utonthbbef 9 iv the election. He spput qyer |7fI,OOT m presenting his Claims .for the office to the people. >As the returns were received at headquei rs it would seem that he received ex tly 3,831 votes. The Tenth Ward is ere* ited With 185 of these votes. At a meeting, Cohen saye tnat he has the names of over 6.000 persons in this city, who declare toss*®-© safe;#:

false. What candidate la credited with Mr. Cohen's vote*? In the First District of tha First Ward the Inspectors returned fifty-three votes for Horace Greeley for Comptrollership. An influential resident of the ward called upon the Police Superintendent, and made oath that Cb his pemonal knowledge, ov*r 300 votes had been cast in that district for Mr. Greeley. The Superintendent turned him over to Mr. Supervisor Smith, one of the candidates for re-elec-tion, who sent a well-known ward politician to look out for the fraud. That was the last Of It In the Ninth District of the Seventh Ward, in Scamtnel street, Mr. William C. Foley < ffertd a ballot bearing the name of Horace Greeley. As these liallota were longer than the others, they were easily recognized. The Inspector who received Mr. Foley's ballot opened it and tore it inpieceai depositing the stri|>s in the box. This inspector is at large, ready for duty al the coming municipal election. If be is m useful to the ring in counting as he is in receiving votes he may be sure of a reappointment. Sir. John Murray headed a gang of fifteen repeaters, oh Tuesday afternoon, and spent several hours in volingin the Third District of Fifteenth Want. The whole party entered and cast their votes under one set of names; then went out and returned to void under other names. The inspectors 1 and! police--1 men did not seem to heed these fellows, they had things all their own way. We have this fact from a prominent county official, who told his story at Police Headquarters. Mr, Murray is still at large. « In the Third District of the Eighth Ward, one of the inspectors, early in the afternoon, copied from the registry books 1 the names those who had not voted, and 1 then handeff a list to*notorious rspeater, named who** gang voted upon the names tfotH the last bad Deen exhausted. This fraud was continued during the afternoon. A county official g«vc these facts to the Police Superintendent, but Mr. Lynch still walks the street J, wnd ibprobably concocting a plan for operations for the December campaign. Nearly 200 illegal voter* were arrested on ejection day. Not one has been notone Is tn custody. Their arreat was a sheer farce.— New York Hun.
