[From the Baltimore American, Oct. 23.)
A ?'RA>'DfCHKMKOF BAllOT-BOI 8TUFFISO.
One ot the most stupendous and moot sacri
legious of fraud? ever attempted to be perpe
trated upon the sacred rights of the elective
franchise has been par'ially and will be soon
fully laid bar* In this city. We style the fraud
a sacrilege because the authors of it have pro
laiaed tberightsof the dead, as theevidence will
prove. The first intimation that the public in
this city bad of the affair?although the facts
were known in official circles for two or three
days past? was the assembling at 'he Eutaw
House of a Military Commission composed of
Major General Abner Double.i*y, Unit?d states
Volunteers, as President; Brigadier General
Francis Fessenden, United States Volunteers:
Colonel R. Butler Price, of 2d Pennsylvania
Cavalry. Lieutenant Colonel T A Barker, of
the 14th New Hampshire: Captain J. H. Piatt,
A D. C.; Captain T. H. Ellie, of the 175th New
York Volunteers; with Colonel John A. Fos
ter, of the 175th New York, au accomplished
member ot the New York JBar,%s Judge Advo
cate. to try the case ol M J. Ferry, of Canton,
IS:. Lawrence county. New York/and Edward
Donahue. Jr., of Albany, on '.he charge of con
duct prejud.cial totheweltare of the service,
fcv talsely personating and fraudulently sign
i.g the names ot officers and soldiers ot" the
Vcited States to certain papers purporting to
be their ballots as citizens ot NVw York.
We are ha^py to stale tnat tiie parties con
cerned are identified with the iaterests of the
nominee of the Chicago Convention and Ho
ratio Seymour of New York, are agents for
securing the soldiers' vote of that State, and
hold commissions from the latter personagi.
Their machinations rival in extent aad com
pleteness anytniug ever recorded ot any of
Gov. Seymour's "friends,'' not excepting the
??Dead Kabbits" of NewjYork. Tho acts of the
"Plug L'elies ' ol this city pale befor* those ot
these Commissioners of New York, in the man
ner and sty le of fraud. We have frequently
heard if cases of pollution of the oallot-box in
the living, but this is tbe first instance, we be
lieve, in which the names of the dead have
beeu used in thousands to perpetrate iraud.
The Ciscovery ol the nunius opernntli ot the
"working of the affair, and tiie incontrovertible
evidence, which we think will lead to toe con
viction of the accused. was purely accidental.
Accorttlug to th>> law recently passed by the
Legislature of New York in relation t the
vctmg of soldiers and sailors, any one of either
class who may be in the field, on shipboard, in
hospital or on detached service, desiring to
^vote. is r,64tdfidl w (iff out a b.auk, enclosing
bis vote, execute a power ol sairemey-r.which
must le certiUw4i?,b>"Jivpynjinm#>i?jeil officer
and witrjessetftn another Vofer? aud foT^van?
the Fame to some person at his hum", who.
mast aiso be a legal voter, who is aurb in/ed,
to deposit the vote in the ballot-box on the daju
ol . lection. This has afforded a tii.e held of op
erations for the immaculate aud spotless '?Dem
ocratic'party, who are constantly crying out
Iraud against their opponents.
A delay occurring in the receipt of these
prone? or votes in ?ome of the coun'ies of
New York, an agent of the Union Central
Committee of Clinton county was dispatched
to this city to look after the muter, and dis
tribute tickets among the soldiers in camp and
hospital. This gentleman, whom we will call
Jones lor the time, found that something was
wrong in the voting, and that, among other
things, the ca h necessary to the power of .at
torney was not being administered. He pro
ceeded to the cIDie of Gov. Seymour's Com
missioner, 31. J. Ferry, No ?-5 West Fayette
street, asserting his views, and representing
himself as a New Vomer, told him that he
thought the Democrats were not doing enough
in the way of securing votes. IVlr. Ferry re
plied that they were doing a great deal more
than he (Jones) was aware of, and desired to
knew if he had a commission from Gov. Sey
mour. Jones replied that he had no', but that
he had been appointed as agent on the pirt of
hie connty. He was then informed that if he
had a list of the soldiers from his coun'y it was
unnecee ?ary for him to proceed any 1 u ther on
his mission, as the vo e could all be in tde out
lr this city. Jones responded that tais would
fce accompanied with considerable trouble, and
was met with the reply that the agency had a
??nigger w ho signed all the powers of attor
ney. '
The intelligent contaband, laboring earnestly
for the cause of McClellan and Seymour, Val
landigham and lien Weod, was seen seated at
a desk, busily engaged signing notes in the in
terest of the peace-at-any-terms party. As the
Governors ot the Rebel States now believe the
negro should be placed in their armies, we can
not be surprised at their friends on this side of
the Appomattox using them for their base
ends.
Mr. Jones' attention was called frotn the
"Linger" to a lars,e blank bcok, with the re
mark that "that record book contains 2.00>
names of meu who have been in the hospital
once?where they are now, ot whether d^ad or
alive, I do not know, but they are all good for
a Democratic vo'e.''
As Mr. Jones was aoout to depart from the
office he was urgently requested to "help in
the work' by the commissioner, and being fully
impressed with the rottenness and fraud of the
entire arrangement, he consented. Maj Gen'l
Wallace ^as apprised of the facts of the case,
and with his usual promptness, at once set to
work to briLg ma'ters to a conclusion. Mr.
Jones was assigned l,y the agent of Gev. Sev
monr to the work of filling up blank votes, and
was excused Irom ??doctoring up"his own
county on the plea that his wii'ing mizht oe
ki.own by some of the supervisors oi the elec
tion returns when they w? re opened
l be work went bravely on at No. - 3 West
Fa>ette street. Clerks were busily at work
filling up blark powers of attorney in the
names ot deceased soldiers transcribed from
the records of the hospitals in that city, Wash
ington, Annapolis, Harper's Ferry, and other
places, to which access had been had on the
ground that the Lames w ere to be published
for the information of their families Jones
took the place of one of the clerk?, and filled
some ol the blanks, w hi h yet needed the sig
nature of a commissioned offl.er to the affida
vit. He professed a gre t desire to forward
several of th?-m to New York to the Democra
tic committees to whom they were to t?e trans
muted, but this was objected to hy Ferr}', who
stated that he must get Donahue to sign the
officers' names Donahue, it will be remem
bered, Is commissioned by Governor Seymour
to take the soldiers' vole. He was telegraphed
for to Washington to come immediately to
Baltimore and sign the affidavits, which, was,
of course, doue. Among the names of the
officers forged are several who are dead, many
w ho are in hospitals, etc.,a..d a nomber whose
names do not appear on the records of the Ad
jutant General at the War Department, aud
have no existence whatever, except in the
imaginative brain oi" Donahue.
Mr. Joi.es was kindly informed tha'all the
tickets 'hat Were forwarded from here ?? were
all right " It is kno?rn that in a great number
ot cases where votes were collected the tickets
with the nan ? s of the IJulcn electors on were
abstracted from their envelopes and those of
the Democratic persuasion were substituted la
tneir s'ead. In several lns'ancee the Uncon
ditional National ticket aud the Democratic
Sta:e ticket were placed together by soldiers,
but when their ballots, which were found a*.
ttfl. e of 'he commissioners, wen opened, the
1'nier. ticket \*a- gone and that for McClellan
In its place. How far this nilamous and atro
cious fraud has been practised, and to what
eit?nt it will allect the vote of New York, can
not be ascertained at present. Nor can the ex
act limit to-* here tr.e operations have been
carried on be determined. A number of the
envelopes in possession of the authorities pur
pert to t e tLe vo'ets ol the I2>th New York reg
iment, and are snpeiscribed ?? Near Peters
burg,' while the command is known to be iu
Sheridan's army, and are located near Har
per's Ferry.
Mr Ferry, who is an elderly man, appa
rently about aix'y-five years of age, seems to
feel deeply the pos.tlon in which he has placed
himself. No doubt he has been made the tool
of ?cme one behind the scene-. He Is the last
man cce wonld suppose to bd implicated in
su-e a disgrace nl business. Donabue is a
Toutbtul looking individual, of the "Dead

Ir answer to a question ot the Judge Advo
ca;e's, Mr. Ferry said that he "plead guilty''
1 to a portion of the specification. He had
signed the names of two or three soldiers to
? tn? blanks.
Col. Foster said he must plead in general or
special terms, and detine exactly ot what he
was guilty. He also intorrned him ot theef.
feet ot his p'eadii.g guilty.
Mr. Ferry, still averting that he was guil'v
| ol some ot iLe charges, bnt not of all, desired
mat he should have time granted to consider
I Hie matter. He was in very feeble health, had
, no counsel, and hoped a short delay woald be
allowed.
General Doubie.iay said he was entitled to
roundel and cou'd send for any person he
I mit lit name.
, Mr. Ferry then dispatched a messenger f jr
Mr. Henry F. Uarey, a member of the legal
profession, whose ufflce is at No. 85 West Fav

COhFkPSloN OF ONK OF THE PRISONKIIS.
APer tbe adiourr.ment. of the <.!omnJission
and the postponement of the trial, Mr. M J.
Feny informed Judge Advocate Fos'er tha:
; he desiied to make a full and free cuii fession
I ot his coB-plictty with the forgery and fraud
with which he whs charged, and to appeal to
th? clemency o. the Court. The request wa*.
ol course, complied with, and the cjnp-ssion
was made ir Him usual iorm. On its conclu
sion the Cuurt was immediately cou vened, and
Mr. Feiry's tatement was read as follows:
l onjtssioa nj M. J. Ferry, the Stxte Agtnt of Uoc
ernot Seymour.
1 do not recollect th^ time when the first pa
pers were forped, but it was in the presence of
Or ville li. Wood, oi Clinton county, N??wYork;
it was done in my office, No. >~5 Fayette street^
.Baltimore; 1 am and nave been for the ptst
two \ears, the Agent of the State of New York,
at pointed by Governor M-ymour, to look after
the sick a?'d wonnd-d soldiers of New York; I
lint f.?w Wood on Wednesday of last week,
at my clfice; he came and repre?ented himself
r.6 an agent oi the Central Committee of his
; county to lcok after its local ticket: we talked
about toe ways in whicn votes could}be taken;
it was agreed that we should sign tne names
of soldiers and officers, and then send them
home to nave the local tickets filled in; I made
out such papers; I signed the names oi soldiers
on quite * number of them; I cannot tell what
I nances we signed; the papers are in the bundle
j now on he table; I did not sign tbe names of
officers, but Donahue signed any quan'tty of
th'-m; there was a large package ox these pa
pers left with me, which I destroyed: that
packa^" contained over two hundred; Dona
hue signed them all: the idea ol forging these
papers was flr?c eupgested bv a man named
My ion; he is lrom the western p:u t of the State '
of New York, I do uot know from what coau
ty; he is not in the service, he Is a State agent;
1 cannot say at what fme it was first proposed
to forge 'beee papers, but it w^s about two
weeks ago; 1 do not ihmk there was anybody
present out Donahue and myself when Maxon
first proposed to forge papers; there was
a man named G. M Dundy in my
office; i^e is now in New York; also
a mt?n named H. Newcomb; I never
saw him until he came th<-re he is a lawyer in
Albany; part of the forged papers were made
in my office, and part brought tu^re; they were
l'sually brought in a bundle tied up; I do not
know who brought them; 1 had no letters from
I'eter Cagg*r, except what were found in my
detk; lnev. r knew of any correspondence on
this subject witn General Farrell, th -Commis.
sarv of ^nbsistenc, except the package which
you have: the package containea a lot of blank
envelopes and forms of attorney, with a letter
from General Farrell, marked "CouHd* utial,"
w hich contained a list of names of residents of
Columbia ronnty: I did not let any one know
that 1 oestroyed the forged papers left wi h me,
put told my associates that I sent them to dif
lerent parti of the S'ate to be mailed: a youug
ir.an came fiom Washington on Friday or Sat
urday iast, saying if I had any spare blanks to
send them over to Washington; 1 am not cer
tain tha. he did or did not say anything about
there oeing twenty men over there who would
attend to these matters; I do uot know how
many for?. o papers were sent off, but I heard
them say they sent them from Washington by
the dry-goods box full; I do not recollect hear
ing tnem talk despairingly, but they talked
quite jnbllan'ly and conlljentiy. i sent a
} a knge ot lorged pnp?is to General Farrell.
