Dividing Houses: The Era of the Empowered Criminal

"If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it. We are now far into the fifth year, since a policy was initiated, with the avowed object, and confident promise, of putting an end to slavery agitation. Under the operation of that policy, that agitation has not only, not ceased, but has constantly augmented.

In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other."--Abraham Lincoln at the Illinois Republican Convention, June 16, 1858  

Did you see this?:

NYPD wrote a fire hydrant parking ticket to Hulk's girlfriend and he starts beating on the cops. He knows they can't arrest him, tase him or even draw their weapons. Hulk knows the Mayor, the Media and the Mob all have his back.

In the phrase of NYPD Det. Pat Brosnan, he is the Empowered Criminal.

"His only regret is not killing the kid"

Where is his arrest warrant, Mr. Democrat DA? Two-tiered Justice again.

Gaige Grosskreutz is in the hospital, taking selfies with his Antifa pals, laughing it up and bragging that his only regret is not being a better assassin, while Kyle Rittenhouse sits in jail for defending his own life. (Video here. Excellent Deep Dive analysis here.) The kid was literally putting out fires. No wonder they tried to murder him.

The Hand of God was on that young man. But it’s not the first time God used a teenager when the old men refused to serve the people.

Twitter is banning Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer. In addition to to political censorship and banning Free Speech, Twitter now says lawyers aren’t allowed to defend clients. They wouldn’t have arrested the guy if he wasn’t guilty, right Dorsey? I guess that’s the new Democrat position: "Cops Always Get it Right!"

BTW--did Gov. Evers ask the rioters to stay away–or just the President?

The Democrat DA Michael Graveley won't charge Grosskruetz--and has also dropped all charges against violent rapist Jacob Blake, too, just like he did in 2015 when Blake pulled his gun in a bar fight, attacked police and hid his gun under the car seat.

The man who filmed the Blake shooting said the cops were shouting “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!” It appears to be in Blake’s waistband. I think he was trying to put it in the car to claim “That’s not my knife!”. Unfortunately, dumping the knife looks exactly like going for a gun under the seat. How is a cop supposed to know the difference? Are we going to create a Constitutional Right to retrieve a weapon after resisting arrest? Maybe allow the criminal to get off a couple of shots to make it fair. Those cops are being thrown under the bus for a criminal who brought this on himself by his own criminal actions. No.

Rest in Peace

After months of Democrat-Approved Rioting and Attempted Murder on police in Portland, Antifa is now killing people outright for the crime of Being a Republican. The Governor and the Mayor are on the side of the murderers and will not allow local police to do their jobs, nor will they bring in their State Troopers or State Guard. President Trump may have to send in troops to stop the Insurrection.

We even see NPR using tax dollars to promote looting.

And all this against the overlay of an unpunished Coup Attempt in Washington by almost every organ of State Power.

This is the Era of the Empowered Criminal from top to bottom. One way or another, this Era must end and give way to the Era of the Empowered Citizen.

The House Divided divided no more.

TWO-TIERED JUSTICE--UPDATE:

Portland Police, FBI and U.S. DOJ Refuse to Arrest Antifa Murder Suspect Michael Reinoehl Because He Supports Joe Biden and Black Lives Matter…

Killer Michael Reinoehl with daughter outside Mayor's house

And where the hell is the Attempted Murder warrant for Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha? He tried to assassinate Kyle Rittenhouse in cold blood. Just because an assassin loses a gunfight doesn’t make him a victim.

"Here we have the Democrat Code. And over here, we the criminal code for everybody else."

I guess attempted murder is okay in Kenosha–if you’re a Democrat like DA Michael Graveley.

UPDATE: US Marshalls killed this domestic terrorist in a shootout.

Many are understandably clamoring for the President to act unilaterally.

Yes–he has that Insurrection Act authority. But people need to see that the governors and mayors are derelict if not complicit. They have police forces. They have state troopers. They have State Guards. They will not use them. They will let their cities burn and their citizens be murdered rather than use their authority. People must be brought to understand the consequences of voting for Democrats. This is not just "politics". Accountability is the very core of representative self-government.

Yes, the President can do it. But he would be putting those troops in without any local support, a dangerous situation. He may yet have to declare an Insurrection and do it in spite of the governors, mayors and their domestic terrorist allies and media cheerleaders.

But that is why he has not done so yet.

They are trying to engineer a Kent State-moment, where the Commies goaded the troops into firing on students. That was parlayed into a Communist victory in Vietnam and eventually into the klepto-socialist Clinton and Islamo-Communist Obama presidencies.

The President must be circumspect. It’s not just politics. What if troops are killed because the mayors and governors help the terrorists? What if they order police to arrest troops and firefights ensue? What if some poor, innocent black protestors are gunned down on their way to help orphans, rescue fuzzy bunnies and burn down the courthouse with people inside? There are a thousand ways for this to go sideways. What if it gets Biden elected? You win the battle and lose the war.

The President may yet have to go in. But don’t pretend its a walk in the park.

“He was trying to get away from them, I guess, it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him,” Trump said. “It’s something that we’re looking at right now and it’s under investigation. I guess he was in very big trouble — he probably would have been killed,” Trump said.

Kristallnacht in Kenosha: Our National Conversation About Your Kid's Thug Life

Teach Your Children Hell

Racine County Eye, 2015: "Racine police say K9 Dozer had to help officers take a man into custody when the man refused to go quietly into custody after he pulled a gun at a local bar. Jacob Blake, 24, of Racine, was charged Monday in Racine County Circuit Court with one felony count of resisting arrest causing a soft tissue injury to a police officer and one misdemeanor count each of carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct. If convicted, he will face up to 8-1/2 years in prison and/or up to $50,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint, Blake and two women were at the Brass Monkey tavern, 1436 Junction Avenue, Saturday when Blake got into an argument with another patron and pulled a black handgun. Blake pointed the gun at the other man, and the magazine fell to the floor. The bartender told Blake to leave, and he did but then pointed the gun through the window at patrons inside the bar before walking south on Junction Avenue.

Police say they encountered a woman walking on Junction who was in the bar with Blake, but she said she didn’t know what happened and that her friends left without her in a silver SUV. A few moments later, officers were advised that a silver SUV was traveling north on Junction with a male subject driving who matched the description of Blake, and they initiated a traffic stop in the 1200 block of Racine Avenue.

Believing the driver was armed, police conducted a high risk traffic stop, the complaint reads, and ordered Blake to put his hands out the window of the vehicle. Instead, Blake exited the SUV and started walking toward officers and ignored commands to get down on the ground. Officers forced Blake to the ground and ordered him to put his hands behind his back. When Blake refused to comply, K9 Dozer was deployed to force the defendant into compliance.

While police were at the hospital with Blake so he could be treated for the wound he obtained from K9 Dozer, officers say he refused to answer questions, but he did submit to a legal blood draw to determine his level of intoxication. At the time he was taken into custody, Blake was searched and police say he had a holster on his hip but no gun. A subsequent search of the SUV turned up a black handgun on the floor behind the drivers seat. A box of ammunition was also found, and two loaded magazines were discovered in Blake’s coat.

The defendant’s blood alcohol level came back at .144, according to the criminal complaint. Blake remains in the Racine County Jail on a $5,000 cash bond. He will next be in court Oct. 1 for his preliminary hearing.".......

A National Conversation on Race?

Bullshit. We need a National Conversation on why a wanted knife-wielding rapist at a domestic violence crime scene gets to ignore a judge's arrest warrant, fight with police, resist arrest and apparently go into his car to get a gun out from under the seat like he did in his 2015 arrest. Democrat prosecutors let him off.

Jacob Blake shouldn't have even been out of jail from his previous gun crimes, but he got Hug-a-Thug justice like Nikolas Cruz and so many other criminals.

His parents came out with their racial parasite lawyer yesterday to lecture America on racism. Maybe they should have spent more time lecturing Gangsta Junior about threatening people with a gun, domestic violence, sexual assault, brandishing a knife, resisting arrest and concealing weapons under the car seat to use on police when he decides he's not going back to jail. The guy who filmed it heard the cops yelling for him to put down the knife.

Those cops didn't want to shoot anybody. He left them with no choice. None. You can't wave a knife at cops and then go to get your concealed weapon. He earned every bullet. Those cops should be given a medal.

Instead, Shithole Governor Evers--who got his office by vote fraud btw--immediately threw the cops under the bus, inviting Klantifa and Black Lives Murders to burn down the city. Fearing for his job, he has just now recanted and will now allow Guardsmen to restore the civic order he threw away.

The Gates of Hell unleashed by Jacob Blake and his Thug Life choices are getting people shot while derelict and complicit Democrat politicians aid and abet the Mob.

They are attacking their own citizenry with these paramilitary thugs, exactly like they once sent the Klan out to terrorize people. Today, it's Klantifa. If they don't stop this Democrat Crime Wave, the People may do it for them.

A Tale of Two Sonnys:  Lifeguard Kyle Rittenhouse:

“As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle. He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker,” Pierce explains.

“Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground,” his legal team says. “One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”

“Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers. The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving,” the statement says. “He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.”

The legal team says that “in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts.”

A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property. That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775,” Pierce said. “Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong. He defended himself, which is a fundamental right of all Americans given by God and protected by law. He is now in the crosshairs of institutional forces that are much more powerful than him. But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”.......

The Federalist: "Kenosha police and U.S. Marshal agents stopped a caravan of vehicles filled with fuel cans and illegal fireworks  — thanks to a citizen tip. After Democrat Gov. Tony Evers initially turned down an offer from the Trump administration and Kenosha County begged him to send in more law enforcement, on Wednesday Evers announced he would call up 500 Wisconsin Army National Guard members to stem riots burning down the city. The governor still seemed to bypass federal involvement in his spite for President Donald Trump.

Evers was holed up in Madison, and certainly had time to send out incendiary tweets pandering to his political base and calling a legislative session on police policy reform, all while Kenosha burned. State Sen. Dave Craig (R-Town of Vernon) said Evers not only failed to protect the people of Kenosha, but his bumbling response put police and National Guard members in peril.

“His lack of foresight to make sure those parties were protected is total negligence on the part of the administration that has to be further investigated,” he said. “No community should have to wait for federal intervention when the state government has the ability to protect its citizens, with an immediate response.”.......

UPDATE: Kenosha County DA Michael Graveley’s office is prosecuting Chrystul Kizer, a child trafficking victim for killing her trafficker.

His office is also in charge of prosecuting Kyle Rittenhouse.
His office is in charge of Jacob Blake’s previous sexual assault warrant.
His office is in charge of any charges against Blake, who broke into his ex’s house, jammed his hand in her vagina and told her she smelled like other men, stole her car and stole her debit card for a thousand dollars. All this before he resisted arrest, refused to drop his knife and went into his car like he was getting a gun.
Graveley’s office also dismissed charges against a drunken Blake when he pulled his gun in a bar fight, fled the scene, injured police when he fought with them and concealed his handgun and ammo under the car seat. You know–just like Martin Luther King.
And he is also in charge of investigating the cops!

This DA has major conflicts of interest at a bare minimum.

"We will NOT stand for looting, arson, violence, and lawlessness on American streets. My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers who agreed to accept federal assistance (Portland should do the same!)...TODAY, I will be sending federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, WI to restore LAW and ORDER!"

PJM: 

"Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is a fool.

OPB reports that when Wheeler could have shown leadership that made a difference for Portland, well, he did. But it was poor leadership that’s allowing riots to destroy his city and its image.

In late July, Mayor Ted Wheeler had an idea he hoped would end the nightly clashes between protesters and police in Portland.

He texted Sonia Schmanski, a top aide, that he had a plan that was “high risk,” but he added that the city had “nothing to lose.”

“Nothing to lose.” Spoken like someone with no connection to reality. Also spoken like a career politician who has never run or managed anything outside the comfortable confines of government with its endless supplies of everyone else’s money.

Does Mayor Wheeler still believe Portland had “nothing to lose” when he let the riots take the streets, assault cops, attack the federal building, spray graffiti all over downtown, fling feces at residents, and on and on and on? Having lost its hold on public safety at the most basic level, Portland stands to lose its economy. Those businesses, and the taxes they kick into the budget Wheeler got himself elected to dole out to his favorite activist groups, will not come back.

Ever.

How does it feel to be the mayor who killed a city? If he’s found his way back to reality, Wheeler knows. So does Austin Mayor Steve Adler, and so does Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Bill de Blasio is killing New York, but he’s a lost cause.) They have managed to kill their cities. The only question is, have they realized yet what they have done?".......

                             Insurrection Act: Stalking Senators Like They Were Seth
Even on crack, Marion Barry would have never done such evil.  #RescindHomeRule!

UPDATE: "Statehood for D.C."? Are you kidding me?

This attack on Rand Paul and others is the VERY REASON our Founders created a Federal District: so senators would not be threatened, intimidated and coerced by local scumbag partisan politicians like Mayor Bowser and her Klantifa/Black Lives Murders-mob of domestic terrorists.

Statehood? We should rescind Cityhood. These Hoodlums can't even handle that.

This is the Satanic spirit of the Mob unleashed by Mayor Jezebel Bowser when she sent her domestic terrorists over to the White House to lynch the Trumps last month. The President had tweeted that rioters should avoid the White House because the Secret Service was highly armed. Bowser tweeted back that there were no weapons and the President was alone and defenseless. 

Mayor Bowser was trying to get the Mob to assault the President, and failing that, she hoped to get rioters killed to get her Kent State on. And now we find that she denied the senators Secret Service escorts to their hotels. She wanted them attacked by her Soros-zombie night-riders.

In a way, it is a fitting end to Republican Convention, which got better and brighter every day if that’s even possible. This dark evil only shows us clearly what is at stake in this contest.

ps; Democrats: you already tried to murder Rand Paul once. Leave him alone and begone in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Be it unto us according to Your Word, Lord. Amen and Amen!

The NY Times and Washington Post Agree: Mail-In Voting Was Rigged From The Very Beginning By Corrupt Democrats To Deny The Civil Rights Of Republicans and Keep Black Americans In Chains!

"Democracy Dies In Darkness--Now More Than Ever!"

"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."--Pres. Harry S Truman

Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to deny Lincoln reelection in 1864

by Dustin Waters, The Washington Post, Saturday, August 22, 2020

"Traveling to Baltimore in the fall of 1864, Orville Wood had no way of knowing he would soon uncover the most elaborate election conspiracy in America's brief history.

Wood was a merchant from Clinton County in the most northeastern corner of New York. As a supporter of President Abraham Lincoln, he was tasked with visiting troops from his hometown to "look after the local ticket."

New York legislators had only established the state's mail-in voting system in April with the intent of ensuring the suffrage of White troops battling the Confederate Army.

The results of the 1864 elections would heavily affect the outcome of the war. Lincoln and his supporters in the National Union Party sought to continue the war and defeat the Confederacy outright. Meanwhile antiwar Democrats, also referred to as Copperheads, looked for an immediate compromise with the Confederate leaders and the end of the abolition movement.

Troops from New York were allowed to authorize individuals back home to cast a vote on their behalf. Along with their mail-in ballots, troops would assign their power of attorney on slips that required four signatures: the voter's, the person authorized as a recipient, a witness to the signed affidavit and a fellow officer. These documents would be sealed in an envelope and shipped back home to be counted in the final vote. This was the process that Orville Wood intended to uphold, he would testify in court later. He quickly found out what a challenge that would be.

Wood arrived at Fort McHenry in Baltimore to visit with the 91st New York Regiment. There, an Army captain suggested that there had been some "checker playing" when it came to the gathering of soldiers' mail-in ballots. These suspicions of fraud were echoed when Wood visited wounded men at the Newton University Hospital. The rumors of wrongdoing led Wood to the office of Moses Ferry in Baltimore.

Ferry had been selected by New York Gov. Horatio Seymour to help oversee the voting process for New York's enlisted men. Seymour had vetoed the initial bill to establish mail-in voting and would go on to run against Ulysses S. Grant in the 1868 presidential election.

Wood masked his suspicions as he entered Ferry's office, portraying himself as a strong supporter of Lincoln's opponent, George McClellan. This was enough to gain Ferry's trust, he testified later.

Ferry told Wood that the votes from New York's 91st Regiment had already been tallied: 400 for McClellan and 11 for Lincoln.

Wood returned to the office later and, following Ferry's instructions, began forging signatures of the 16th New York Cavalry. Meanwhile, a clerk sat across the room signing ballots from the roster of names Wood had brought with him from home. Wood asked to personally deliver these fraudulent ballots, but Ferry said they would have to receive final approval from his colleague in Washington - Edward Donahue Jr.

Donahue soon arrived in Baltimore and met with Wood. It was revealed during this conversation that around 20 co-conspirators were already at work in D.C. to aid in the plot to deliver votes to McClellan. The following day Wood watched as Donahue and his crew formed a sort of assembly line, passing blank papers along to one another to be signed with the names of active enlisted men, wounded and dead soldiers, and officers who never existed.

In addition to operations in D.C. and Baltimore, the scheme extended back to New York. Donahue had received rosters of soldiers from military officials and members of law enforcement. A letter from Gen. J.A. Ferrell read, "Inclosed in this package you will find tickets, also a list of names of the actual residents of Columbia County, now members of the 128th Regiment. With my best wishes for your success."

A letter from Albany Sheriff H. Cromdell offered to send additional men to assist in Baltimore. The letter read, "All is well here, and we are confident of complete success. It is unnecessary to say that all here have entire confidence in your skill and abetting, and hope you like your help."

Also discovered in Ferry's office was a list of around 400 names belonging to sick and wounded soldiers under treatment at a nearby hospital. In reference to the roster, Ferry joked, "Dead or alive, they all had cast a good vote."

Ferry, Donahue, and their fellow conspirators found humor in their work. One accomplice mocked the outcry he expected from abolitionist newspapers following the corruption of the election. The men bragged about their past successes in fixing local elections back home.

Together, the men had shipped crates of fraudulent votes back to New York. But their scheme was over. Wood reported the operation to authorities. Ferry's office was searched, and on the morning of Oct. 27, 1864 - less than two weeks before the election - he and Donahue stood trial before a military commission.

Ferry offered a full confession that same day, even offering up the names of others involved in the scheme. Donahue proved more of a challenge.

Following the first day of the trial, a reporter for the New York Times wrote, "The honest electors of the state of New York have escaped an extensive and fearful fraud, a fraud in keeping with the proclivities of the party in whose behalf it was initiated, but one that, if unexposed might have subverted the honest will of the people and left the state and the nation at the mercy of those who would make peace with rebellion and fellowship with traitors."

Arrests in New York and Washington continued to mount as Donahue returned to trial. Following Wood's damning testimony and supporting evidence, Donahue begged for mercy from the court. He was a young man, newly married, with no previous record. He visibly wilted as he realized the weight of his current situation, no longer expressing the defiance with which he had entered the proceedings.

The judge advocate addressed the tribunal, saying that Donahue had engaged in one of the most gigantic frauds ever attempted in America - "a fraud which, if it shall be successful, will, in my opinion, have produced a disruption of our entire country, and our war for the preservation of the Union will be practically at an end and futile."

In the months following Lincoln's victory - he won 221 electoral votes to McClellan's 21 - anti-abolitionist newspapers attacked his legitimacy, calling the trial another aspect of a conspiracy conducted by the president to ensure his reelection.

The commission that oversaw Ferry and Donahue's trial recommended life in prison for the two men who sought to corrupt the election by mail. The president, who would soon be slain, approved.".......

Oct. 28, 1864  FURTHER DETAILS.; From Washington Further Arrests A Number of Parties Implicated. The Frauds on the New-York Electors in the Army. Arrest of New-York Election Agents.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.

BALTIMORE, Thursday, Oct. 27.

Some days since it became apparent that the Copperhead managers in the State of New-York had conceived and were executing some system of frauds, by which they expected to carry the State at the Presidential election, by overriding the will of the legal voters. Measures were immediately taken to discover the nature and extent of their frauds, and in a short time the authorities had in their possession evidence sufficient to justify the arrest of two of the Copperhead State agents, who were carrying on their operations in Baltimore and Washington. Yesterday, the Secretary of War issued an order directing the Military Commission, of which Gen. DOUBLEDAY is President, to immediately proceed with the trial of EDWARD DONA HUR, Jr., and M.J. FERRY, who were hold as prisoners at Baltimore. The Court met, this morning, at Barnum's Hotel. Col. JOHN A. FOSTER, of the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth New-York Volunteers, acting as Judge-Advocate. ALEXANDER N. HARVEY, Esq., of Buffalo, was present, to watch the proceedings and to assist in eliciting the character and ramifications of the alleged frauds. The prisoners being arraigned, the following charges and specifications were read, to which they were required to plead:

CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS PREFERRED AGAINST EDWARD DONAHUE, JR., AND MOSRS J. FERRY.

Charge -- Conduct prejudicial to the welfare of the service. Falsely personating and representing officers and soldiers in the United States service, and, in such assumed capacity, falsely and fraudulently signing and forging names or officers and soldiers in such service. Specification -- In this, that said EDWARD DONAHUE, Jr., and M.J. FEERY, being ostensibly authorized as the agents of the State of New-York for the purpose of receiving the votes of the soldiers of the United States, electors of the State of New-York, at the general election to be held on the eighth day of November, 1864, did falsely and fraudulently personate the officers and soldiers who have been, or now are, or who purport to be, in the military service of the United States, and did falsely and fraudulently sign and forge, and also caused to be signed and forged to the blanks issued under and pursuant to Chapter 253 of the laws of the State of New-York, passed April 21, 1864, entitled "An act to enable qualified electors of the State absent there-from, and in the military service of the United States, in the army, and navy thereof, to vote," names purporting to be the names of officers, and soldiers in the service of the United States, and qualified electors of the State of New-York, and absent therefrom; said blanks being issued under said laws and intended to be used for the purpose of transmitting the vote of the soldiers signing the same to his proper attorney, to be used at the general election to be held in said State on the 8th day of November, 1864. All this being done by the said DONAHUE and FERRY with the intent and for the purpose of having such blanks so signed, used as and for the act and deed of the officers and soldiers whose names purported to be signed thereto, and in fraud of their rights as such electors; all this at the cities of Baltimore and Washington during the month of October, 1864."

The Judge Advocate, after reading the charge and specification, called upon the prisoners to plead. Mr. FERRY stated he plead guilty to a part of the charge and specification; he had signed some papers, but not all with which he was charged. Upon being informed that he could plead the exact facts, and understanding the nature of his plea, Mr. FERRY stated he desired some time to recruit his health and to obtain counsel. He named a gentleman in Baltimore, who was sent for. DONAHUE then objected to be tried by a military commission, and also to being tried separate from Mr. FERRY. He then plead not guilty to the accusation, and asked delay in order to obtain counsel. He desired REVERDY JOHNSON to be sent for, but he not being in the city he asked a sufficient delay to enable him to send to Albany. The court complied with this request, and adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. DONAHUE then telegraphed to Hon. SANFORD E. CHURCH, New-York, and to PETER CAGGER, at Albany, with the expectation that one of those gentlemen will be present to act as his counsel.

LEO.

SECOND DISPATCH.

BALTIMORE, Thursday, Oct. 27.

After the adjournment of the Military Commission this morning, Mr. M.J. FERRY, the most respectable of the two prisoners put on trial to-day, stated to the Judge-Advocate that he desired to make a confession of all he knew in connection with those fraudulent and forged papers. His request was complied with, and his confession was written out in the usual form of questions and answers. When he had concluded the court reassembled, and Judge-Advocate FOSTER made to the court a statement embodying the facts confessed by FERRY, which I have thus condensed:

CONFESSION OF M.J. JERRY, THE STATE AGENT OF GOV. SEYMOUR.

I do not recollect the time when the first papers were forged, but it was in the presence of ORVILLE K. WOOD, of Clinton County, New-York. It was done in my office, No. 85 Fayette-street, Baltimore. I am, and have been for the past two years, the agent of the State of New-York, appointed by Gov. SEYMOUR, to look after the sick and wounded soldiers of New-York. I first saw WOOD on Wednesday of last week at my office. He came and represented himself as an agent of the Central Committee of his county to look after its local ticket. We talked about the way in which votes could be taken, It was agreed that we should sign the names of officers and soldiers, and then send them home to have the local tickets filled in. I made out such papers. I signed the names of soldiers on quite a number of them. I cannot tell what names we signed. The papers are in the bundle now on the table. I did not sign the names of officers, but DONAHUE signed any quantity of them. There was a large package of these papers left with me, which I destroyed. That package contained over 200 that DONAHUE had signed. The idea of forging these papers was first suggested by a man named STEPHEN MAXSON. He is from the western part of the State of New-York -- I do not know from what, county. He is not in the service; he is a State agent. I cannot say at what time it was first proposed to forge the papers, but it was about two weeks ago. I do not think there was anybody present but DONAHUE and myself when MAXSON first proposed to forge papers. There was a man named G.M. BUNDY in my office. He is now in New-York. Also, a man named H. NEWCOMB. I never saw him until he came there. He is a lawyer in Albany. Part of the forged papers were made in my office and part brought there. They were usually brought in a bundle tied up. I do not know who brought them. I had no letters from PETER CAGGER except what were found in my desk. I never knew of any correspondence on the subject with Gen. FARREL, the Commissary of Subsistence, except the package which you have. The package contained a lot of blank envelopes and powers of attorney, with a letter from Gen. FARREL, marked "confidential," which contained a list of names of residents of Columbia County. I did not let any one know that I destroyed the forged papers left with me, but told my associates that I sent them to different parts of the State to be mailed. A young man came from Washington on Friday or Saturday last, saying if I had any spare blanks to send them over to Washington. I am not certain whether he did or did not say anything about there being some men over there who could attend to these matters. I do not know how many forged papers were sent off, but I heard them say they sent them from Washington by the dry goods box full. I do not recollect hearing them talk dispairingly, but they talked quite jubilantly. I sent the forged papers to Gen. FARRELL, with the following letter:

BALTlMORE, Oct. 22, 1864.

MY DEAR SIR: If you are energetic, you will be able to get the within votes all arranged for the 8th of November. I should have done more to them, but I have not time. They are all on the equare -- the same as the blacks get theirs. Neither would bear close scrutiny. ED. DONAHUE said send this on to you, and I have done it. Truly, yours,

DEMOCRAT.
M.J. FERRY, NO. 85 West Fayette-street, Baltimore.

P.S. -- They are all soldiers -- companies and regiments all O.K. Of the rest I have nothing to say. If you have no use for them, send them back.

HENRY NEWCOMB, implicated by FERRY, has also made a complete and full confession. The Judge-Advocate was understood to present a plea of guilty on behalf of Mr. FERRY, and to ask on his behalf the clemency of the court.

The court accepted the plea of the prisoners and thus closed the case, leaving DONOHUE to be tried separately as he desired. Developments made to-day show these frauds to have been carefully and skillfully contrived, and that they have been carried through with the most reckless disregard of law. The disclosures also connect leading and influential men of the State of New-York with these attempts to tamper with the ballot boxes, but I am not now at liberty to give their names, fearing that they might through such information, escape arrest and consequent punishment."

The Good News

John 6: 16-21 Young's Literal Translation Bible

16 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

17 and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

18 the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised,

19 having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

20 and he saith to them, `I am, be not afraid;'

21 they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

Thank You Heavenly Father for Your Word and that You Save in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!
