REM. BLAIR OS THE RADICALS.
General Francis P. Blair, of Missou
ri, was one of the founders of the so
called "Republican" party, and acted
a prominent part in bringing out Gen.
Fremont as the first candidate of that
party for President, in 185 C. He was
frequently elected to Congress, as the
nominee of that organization and was
universally regarded as one of its most
able and influential leaders. He was
the bosom friend of the late President,
and it was through his influence that
Gen. Scliofield was retained in com
mand in Missouri, despite the plotting
of the Radicals for his removal. He
was, also, one of Sherman's bravest
and most skilful generals, haviuggreat
ly distinguished himself during the
campaigns of that officer. But Gen.
Blair finds it impossible to continuehis
connection with the "Republican" par
ty. He cannot stand Negro Suffrage
and the other modern heresies of that
organization. Hence, like an honest
man, he has dissolved his former rela
tions with tliat party, ami is now ac
tively engaged in canvassing for the
conservative Democracy. From a re
cent speech delivered by the General,
we quote the following palpable hits:
"It is thrown 'ap to us that the pres
ent is a rebel Democratic movement.
The name does not scare me. 1 have
fought side by side with Democrats du
ring the last four years, and would
rather keep company with them than
with those who were rebels at first and
turned Radicals afterwards because the
emoluments of office lay in that direc
tion.
"Gen. Sherman is a fair illustration
of what Radicals can do. After his
great campaign which resulted in the
overthrow of the rebellion and the sal
vation of the country, Stanton sought
to destroy him because he feared that
he himself might be overshadowed by
the worthy fame of the great comman
der. It was the Radical Directory of
France recalling the victorious Napo
leon. He returned to cover his ene
mies with eternal shame."
A PBHUMPTIOCS FELLOW.
The redoubtable Chairman of the j
Abolition State Committee has pub- j
lishedr what he styles a "Congratulate- i
ry Address," in which he takes oeea- i
sion to say some truculent things in
regard to those persons who "opposed
the war." Who is lie that thus arro
gates to himself the right to it as a
"Judge in Israel ?" Is he not the same
John Cessna who acted with the Demo
cratic party for two years after the war
commenced ? Is he not the identical
♦"allow wh roooivftl oOu-e at tne lianas
of that party, at the sam e time that it
passed resolutions in opposition to the
war? Is he not the very man who was
a candidate for the Jjemocratic nomi
nation for Governov at the time Judge.
Woodward was nominated and when
Yallandighani w.s the nominee in O
hio? Is hi* not tne same John Cessna
who as late as IF,Hi!, made speeches from
the same stum p with O. E. Shannon
and B. F. Mey ers, in favor of the same
ticket ad vocal .ed by the latter, anil who
in August of thatyear, declared, in the
Court Hou'ie, in Bedford, that "the
war could not lie successful until the
emancipa tion Proclamation would be
revoked ? " At any rate, what more
did hedf, even after he became an Ab
olitionist, to farther the prosecution of
the war, than a thousand other men in
the county, opposed to him in polities?
Did he shoulder a musket and march
against the rebels of whom he speaks
with such awful savageness? Did he
send a son, or any one near and dear to
him, to tight for the. flag about which he
prates so much ? Why, he did not e
ven put a representative recruit into
the service, thinking that the bounty
fund, to which he contributed a few
hundred dollars, but the principal jmrt
of which the taxable citizens of Bed
ford borough are now paying, would
save him from the draft. la*t this pre
sumptuous fellow examine his own rec
ord in regard to the war, and if he has
any respect for himself, he will hold
his peace about other people who op
posed it, or failed to do their full sliare
in its prosecution.
Ax outrageous election fraud has been
perpetrated in Philadelphia, by which
the Democratic candidate for City (Com
missioner has been cheated out of his
certificate of election. Even /.he Abo
lition papers of Philadelphia, are, for
very shame, constrained todej lounce it.
It is of a piece with the sannj deviltry
which was so successfully played off in
this legislative district last year. What
have the Abolition papers in tin is neck
of the woods to say in regard to it? Do
they intend, by their silence, to keep
their readers in the dark about - this last
act of villany perpetrated bV tricksters
in their party?

"DISLOYAL" BALTIMORE.
Fifteen thousand ladies of Baltimore,
city, have petitioned President JOHN
SON, for clemency to J KFFERS< >N DA VIS.
Their prayer was carried before the
President, by a committee, of whom a
sister of the late JOHN J. CRITTENDEN.
was the spokeswoman. JOHN W. GAR
RETT, ESQ., President of the Baltimore
and Ohio R. R., whose loyalty has nev
er been questioned, placed a splendid
car at the disj>osal of the committee,
in which they were conveyed to Wash
ington. Six months ago, if any man,
woman or child whispered a word in
favor of mercy toward the South, it
was at the peril of property and life
self. Tempora. mutantirr.
WILL the Franklin Repository an
swer us this question : Do you believe,
with President Johnson, that the States
which passed ordinances of secession
were never out of the (<hion, and are in
the Union near, or do you go with Thad
deus Stevens, who holds that those
states are out of the Union and are no
longer states, but conquered provinces,
and must be governed by Congress and
the Federal Executive? No dodging,
Colonel.
C. M. DUNCAN, Esq., the Democratic
candidate for Senator in the Franklin
and Adams district, has been elected by
majority, but we know that an effort
will be made to "count him out." One
of the men employed to do the work,
lives in this town. Mr. Duncan is a
good man, and we hope, will succeed in
defeating the nefarious schemes of the
t rieksters wh<have determined to cheat
him out of his seat in the Senate.
WE have some scattering 1 returns
from the elections held on Tuesday,
but all from Abolition sources. J min
ing from these we have been defeated
in New York. The Democratic ma
jority in New York city is variously
stated at from 2r>,(Kioto :!•",( KM I. We have
nothing definite from New Jersey, but
the Abolitionists claim to have carried
it by a small majority.
WE are still unable to give the full
official vote cast in each county, at the I
recent election. Why it is not publish- i
ed, is, perhaps, best known to the Sec
retary of theComraonwealth. We have
it from "Republican" sources, that the
majority against the Democratic ticket
is about the same as last year, or about :
21,0(10. "Getting the soldiers home," 1
didn't do Abolitionism much good.

IT is now said by tlte St. Louis Went- 1

THE last report concerning the pros
pective trial of Jefferson Davis, is, that
he will not be tried at all, no jury l>eing 1
obtainable in any district in which he !

Garibaldi has something to do with this
new discovery.

LITERARY.
HARPER'S WEEKLY: A JOURNAL
OF CIVILIZATION.— FabIe tells us of a
kind-hearted fool, who, finding a frozen j
serpent, pitied it, placed it in his bosom, !
to warm it into life, and in return for his;
pains, was struck by the poisonous fang
of the revived reptile. The author of
this "ower true tale," must have looked
down the vista of futurity and beheld a
certain "Harper," one who plays on a
thousand strings, (he ought to play at
the end of one) taken to the embrace of
the Democratic party, who (the "Har
per") after being nursed into strength
by that organization, endeavored, rep
tile-like, to strike it with a tooth that
N —"Outvenoms all the wonns of Nile."' y'
The only difference between the Two
cases, is, that the man of whom fable
tells, is supposed to have died, whilst
the Democratic party still lives, and
strange to say, some of its adherents
still persist in taking this Harper to
their bosom. In fact, during the last
year, we harbored him in our own
household, unaware, however, when
we invited him across our threshold,
that he had turned traitor to the party
which helped to rear him, to enrich him
and to give him the position which he
holds in society. "Harper's Weekly,
a Journal of Civilization," (it should
be Harper'- Weekly, a Journal of Amal
gamation) was started as a paper neu
tral in politics and religion. Nay, if
during the first four or five years of its
: existence, it had any jxilitical leanings, [
: they were all towards the Democratic |
; party. Prior to the breaking out of the j
! war, it was pro-slavery in its tendencies ;
and ridiculed and caricatured Abolition
ism without stint. It had then a large
circulation in the South, and, of course,
found it profitable to pander to the no-!
tions of its Southern readers. But, |
when the war broke out, and it could
no longer get money from the Southern
people, it gradually changed its politics
(although originally professing to have
none) until at last it has become as
fiercely radical as Garrison's Liln'rator,;
or the Anti-Slavery Standard. Li ke the
dog, it has returned to its vomit and
greedily bolts all the filth it once emp
tied upon the heads of the abolitionists.
Week after week it fulminates its de
nunciations of the Democratic party.
Issue after issue is filled with misrepre
sentations of the policy, and slanders
; of the representative men, of the De
mocracy. Page after page is given up
i to miserable political caricatures, vile
| enough in their character to disgrace
! even the leaves of the Police Gazette.

i then 1 is a large engraving, entitled
"The True Defenders of the Constitu
tion." In the foreground, a huge A.fri
can is lying upon his hack, with an IUS
i ket in hi- hand. In the background are
I some other men in a recumbent p >i
tion, but whether white or black, i sol
diers or citizen-, the dimness of outline
precludes u- from telling with certain
ty. This picture is typical of the pn s
ent political predilections of this turi
coat pictorial. It keeps the negro in th ?
foreground and places the white man in
: the rear. It gives the glory of victory
in the late war, to the colored soldier,
, and assigns the white hero an inglo
rious position in the background. It
' advocates the enfranchisement of the
! blacks and the disfranchisement of
white men. It would empoverish the
white people of the South and give their
property to the ignorant, depraved and
thriftless negro. Such are the doctrines
of this renegade sheet. Yet, Democrats
buy it, subscribe for it, and circulate it.
Is it any wonder that our political op
! ponents succeed, when we thus assist
them in disseminating their doctrines?

ORIGIN or THE SISTER* OF CHARITY.
About the year 162G, in a town of \
Km nee, called Chantillon, there existed j
an humble, rural pastor. It happened j
that during his ministry, it serious ease '
of distress came under his notice. The
good man recommended, from the
pulpit, to the charity of his congrega
tion, a poor family in the neighbor
hood. At the conclusion of divineser
viee, moved by bis appeal, numbers
went forth to assist the distressed ones.
Some brought bread, others meat, oth
ers, again, vegetables. After vespers,
or evening service, the pastor himself
proceeded to thehoi ne of poverty; and,
Am his way, met a crowd of liis parish
ioners returning from the scene of mis
ery. When he arrived at the abode of
distress, "Behold," said lie, "an abun
dant supply of everything for this poor
family. But there is no order or judg
ment displayed, in all this profusion of
charity. The most of these provisions
will spoil, and the poor people, the ob
! jects of this benevolence, will l>e as bad
ly off as ever." The happy thought
! then occurred to him to form a eharit
| able society, whcse members should be
specially trained to manage the inter
i estsof the j>oor, in a judicious, econom
ical way. Pious ladies of the first fam
ilies in thi' land, soon offered their vul
i uable services, and went to work, ac
cording to a rule drawn up by this man
| of God and approved of by the spirit
ual authorities. This was "the mus
tard seed," the germ of that charitable
association of world-wide fame, styled
"THK SISTERS OFCHA in TV," whose s i im-
nal services, during our late civil war,
to our sick, wounded, dying soldiers
in hospitals and on battle-fields, are so
well known all over the United States.
The immortal founder of this benev
olent Institute, was the humble Vin
cent I)e Paul, justly deserving the titie
of "Benefactor of the Human Race."

HAI> PENMANSHIP. —We are a sen
oration of bad penmen. Formerly the
ability to write a beautiful hand was
earnestly striven for and highly prized:
now such an accomplishment is rarely
found, lawyers, Doctors, Preachers
and Teachers write a hand that is re
markable only for its irregularity and
ugliness, and think it quite good em >ugh.
•Thetlaysof beautiful penmanship seem
to have passed away. Such a thing is
not expected now, and many even seem
to take pride in their wretched chirog
raphy.
Very few pupils learn to write well
i in the common schools. Hardly one
in twenty learns to write what may be
called a {food hand. I have not found
: ten in the county who can write a beau
tiful hand. This is deplorable, hut it is
the fact. The branch is generaJly neg
lected. Instruction in it is generally
J a failure. The chief reasons for this
' unfortunate condition of things are, in
' my judgment, the ...„ .
1. The materials used by pupils are
of the most wretched kind. Paper of
the thinnest, roughest, and cheapest
i quality; pens of the commonest and
cheapest make; and ink that is not fit
to write with at all; these are the m; v
terials with which hoys and girls arA
expected to write. The best penman
could hardly write a legible hand with
the same materials, and yet parents
wonder and grumble that their chil
dren do not write better.
■l. The copies are nearly all written
by the teachers, and the teachers are
nearly all unable to write a copy that
is a model fit for a child to imitate.
J Hence it follows that nearly all our pu-
I pits are imitating models which, even
iif perfectly imitated, would only make
Jus. I penmen of them. We are aware
t.tta t many of our teachers will think
these strong assertions; hut we have
considered our words and mean what
we say. About thirty teachers in the
< county are marked 1, or within a frac
tion of 1, in Penmanship, and these are
nil who can write a suit able model tor
a-pupil to Imitate. The others are hel
ping to rear up a generation of indif
ferent penmen; and they'<~an donoth
! ing else while they writ 1 indifferent
copies for their pupils to in litate.
\ fi. The s.une teacher seld< un teaches
r a school tw 'O terms in succession, nor
J do any two teachers write alik. -• Hence
1 the style cf writing formetl by one
teacher, is broken up and al/ered by
the next. This goes on year aft- ?r year.
Pupils have e different model .to imi
jt'.ite every year, and, consequently, nev
•er form any settled style of wri ting, i
nor learn to imitate any model well.
It follows, therefore, that even with
good materials and with teachers all* a
ble to write suitable models, we should
still fail to make good penmen. No
one who tries a new style of writing
every year, will he likely to form affix
ed and beautiful hand, however excel
lent in itself each of these styles may
be. I
The remedy for all this is simple,
cheap and effectual. The idea that
teachers should write the copies has
long ago been proved erroneous by the
most thorough tests that experience
can apply. They should not write the
copies. <tn the contrary, some system
of penmanship should be adopted, and
copy books with engravedeopiesshould
be used. The models in these are per
fect, and they are carefully graded front
the simplest to the most difficult to suit
all ages and grades of pupils. These
books are made of the best of paper,
and weshould thusgetridof the wretch
ed flimsy stuff now used by a majority
of the pupils ill the county. It is true
the books cost t trifle more than poor
paper, but so little that few would
grudge it. In addition to this, let pa
rents see that their children have the
best pens and tie best ink. This done,
its chief causes that have made us a
generation of lad penmen will have
been removed, and a few years will im-
prove penmanship in our common
schools more than one hundred per
cent. All will then copy after the same
models, and form much the same style
of writing, and the writing of one can
be as easily read as that of another.
In most of our districts, Ellsworth's
System of Penmanship is now adopted,
and arrangements are made to use his
books. It is to la? hoped that directors
and teachers will see to it that they are
exclusively used. It is also to he hoped
that parents will co-operate with di
rectors and teachers in carrying out tin's
much mailed reform.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes the
full testimony in the case of Col. J. C.
Crane, an inspector of the CQuartermas
ter's Department, who was tried by
court martial, in July last, upon numer
ous charges of dishonesty in office. The
fifth was as follows:
Conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman.
Specification. —"ln this: that Col. John
C.Crane, inspector, &e., having been
duly assigned, did write, cause to
be written, issued and send, and caused
to lie issued and sent, to Wm. Seniple,
A. B. Scruple and others, whose names
are unknown, the said Wm. Scrapie and
others being engaged in furnishing .sup
plies for the use of said military rail
roads, a circular and letter, a portion of
which circular and letter, is in the let
ters and figures, and of the tenor follow
ing: "To secure the election in every
State beyond the possibility of a doubt,
not only does it require the patriotic
efforts of every man, but it also requires
money for campaigning purposes. It is
expected that you that have received
the liberal patronage of the government
will willingly lend your means to the
attainment of the object named.
"I am authorized to say, gentlemen,
to those who respond cheerfully to this
call, that patronage heretofore extend
ed to them, shall, without doubt, lie
continued. In the transmitting of your
subscription, it is expected that the a
mount will correspond with the patron
age you have received."
This charge was sustained upon the
trial by direct evidence of parties who
had contributed to the Lincoln fund
raised bv Col. Crane.
One witness, Archibald P. Cochrane,
testified that Col. Crane purchased sup
plies from their firm on or about the
first of November, 1804, and at other
times before, which were furnished af
terwards; that Col. Crane solicited mo
ney from the firm to pay election ex
penses. Witness produced a circular
from Col. Crane, asking for contribu
tions, the genuineness of which the ac
cused admitted. ('oehrane further tes
tified that the firm gave £l,tMM> in re
sponse to this solicitation.
' Question by Judge Advocate —Please
state the circumstances of payment.
Answer —J had come to the military |
railroad department from home, for the ,
purpose of settling our accounts, and 1
stepped into Col. Crane's office; lie told ;
me he was just on the eve of sending a I
circular to us, he then picked up the :
circular, signed, addressed, and handed
it to me for perusal; at the time he hand
ed it to me he said he had the sanction of
the Secretary of War to collect this fund.

- i.vt to tliat unmuiit.
J mqmndetl under the full conviction
that it was a proper object, and J did it
cheerfully; Col. Crane had no hesitancy
in handing me the circular, it was done
publicly; there were several parties in |
the room at the time. [Witness further !
testified tliat he had, at the time, vouch- 1
ers in his possession to the amount ot i
thirty-four thousand dollars, for which j
he expected to get the money; and that j
he received payment in full for all the
vouchers in a check for certificates ot
in debtedness, less the amount the firm
contributed.]
On his cross-examination Mr. Coch-!
rant' said: j
With regard to the one thousand dol
; lars obtained for election purposes, wit
| 11 ess (Lid not know what was done with !
' it; saw Crane put it into an envelop and
! heard him say it was for .Mr. Lincoln.
J. M. .Nash, Superintendent of mili- I

tied that he "contributed one hundred
dollars to the election fund."

something more cheering than hedid in .
I the afternoon. But Mr. Phillips could ■
! not do it, he was, if anything, still more
| .. loomy, to the radicals and free lovers 1
of negro equality. Phillips evidently !

glorious old rebels of '7<, administer I
the affairs of our country, abolitionism
was looked upon as a crying sin, audits 1
i advocates as tories, traitors, and fools.
But now since matters have changed—|
| since the unworthy sons of worthy sires
became the administrators of the gov
i eminent —since the African became the
peer of the Caucasian—since plunder
became patriotism, and perjury and u
surpations statesmanship—since a "na-
I tional debt" is looked upon as a bless
ing—since the President became dieta
i tor and the people serfs—to be secure
| from arrests, from fine, imprisonment
i or death, one must carry a "pardon" in
his pocket for being opposed to aboli
tionism. This is the simple difference,

It is now pretty elear thatthe Presi
dent has at heart the admission of the
Southern Congressmen, and will make
it a measure of his administration. —
Those opposing it will be regarded as
hostile to tlie most material points of
its policy.
1 ndian agents are now required, when
giving licenses to persons to trade with
Indians, to take oath that they are
granted without any agreement or un
derstanding with the party licensed, or
anv person for such party in the behail
of the former, for gain. The rule is
very strict, and so worded as h > cover
every possible case of collision. Doubt
less there is need enough of his strin
gency.

The Cholera at w York,
NKW YORK, NOV. 3.— THE steamship
Atlanta, from London, arrived here last
night and has been ordered to the low
erquarantine inconsequence of sickness
among her passengers. It is rumored
onStaten Island that eight deaths occur
red on hoard from cholera during the
vovage.
Later.—The steamer Atlanta is from
London via Brest. She has been sent
to the lower bay and all communication
with her forbidden.
NEW YORK, NOV. 3,3 T- M.—Dr.
Burdett, Quarantine Surgeon, reports
thatthere were fifteen deaths by cholera
on the steamship Atlanta out of CO or
(K) CB.S6S.
A special meetingofthe Health Com
missioners was held at noon to-day in
consequence of the reported presence
of cholera. The committee appointed
at the last meeting to draft a memorial
petitioning the General Government
for the use of lands at Sandy Hook for
a quarantine, representing the hflcasa
p..(£ w. ri ni^
the introduction of the cholera, and
that the authorities of New \ ork are
without a proper place to establish a
quarantine to meet the anticipated e
mergency. in this dilemma they earn
estly request the General Government
to grant, for a temporary quarantine
ground, so much of the land as may be
needed now owned by the government
at Sandy Hook the lower bay.
The memorial was adopted, and l>rs.
Sayres, Anderson and Mayor Cleveland,
were appointed a committee to proceed
to Washington and lay the matter be
fore the government.
The ship Rhine, from London, has
arrived, but has had no cases of cholera
aboard.
THE CHOLERA IN FRANCE AND
SUA IN. —The latest atvounts state that
the deaths in Paris from cholera average
200 per day. < )ne of the medical journ
als of that city says:
In the centre of Paris the patients re
ceived in the hospitals do not come from
any special quarter. The Hotel Pieu
contains the greatest number. The
worst davs were Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday last. On Thursday there
was an improvement, and on Friday
there wasa marked tendency to abate
ment. A- 1 to what takes place outside
the hospitals, our data are very vague,
and in the absence of official figures
which are not communicated by the
administration, we can only make con
jectures. Our suppositions eontirm the
Opinion which we have before express
ed, that the present epidemic is not pro
pagated with the fatal explosions of 1832
and 1K49, but presents more analogy
with the malady of 1853 '54, which
was characterized by the slowness of its
attacks.
A letter dated Madrid, Oct. 14, states
that the ravages of the cholera there
had created a great panic, and thousands
were flying from the city. The letter
adds:
OR Saturday and Sunday last the mor
tality was very large, amounting to
several hundreds. Thesanitary author
ities and charitable associationsare very
active in taking all possible measures
of prevent ion and cure, imdin relieving
the distress among thepoorer classes.
