The ev idence against the Police Commission ers fixes upon them a most dam ning record and will startle the whole country by the villainies it brings to light. The Commissioners, it apjx'ars, selected as their subordinates the most disreputable and desperate characters that could be raked from the dens of a great city, men who had no reputation to lose, and who were steeped in crime and would tie mere tools in the hands of their masters, the Radicals, to carry out the basest partisan purposes.— Among the Judges, Inspectors and Clerks of election were scoundrels of everyshade. Pimps, Rummers,Bawdy house keepers, Thieves and Murderers were made guardians of the ballot-box, the most sacred of all trusts in a Re public. With the police of the city and the election boards thus organized the Rad icals had plain sailing. The police ar rested and tilled the lock-ups with con servative voters and the Commission ers issued an order that they should not be released until after the polls closed. Thousands of men who have lived and voted in Baltimore all their lives were refused a vote because they favored the policy of the President, and thousands of New England Yankees and New York rowdies were allowed to vote for no other reason than that they were Radicals. The election officers were ' obedient to their masters. The radical ' leaders had only to nod or wink through ; the window and a vote was taken or re- j jected, according to the politics of the i voter. By means like these and by ! others equally barefaced and diabolical the Radicals carried the Municipal e lection in Baltimore, although the con servatives outnumber them two to one. Governor Swan after full investiga tion and proof of the tacts has removed the old Commissioners and appointed others in their place. The old Com missioners at last accounts, refused to yield up their authority or surrender the police property. If they persist in their course a collision seems almost in evitable. We believe that Governor Swan will enforce the laws at every hazard. He is not the man we take him to be if he permits a revolutiona ry faction at home or Radical fanatics abroad to turn him from his duty. If the collison comes it may be of the most sanguinary character. The first blow in Baltimore may kindle a blaze of civ il war throughout the country. Uj>on the heads of the lawless men who pro voked the conflict be the consequences. —Since the above has been in type, we have received further news from Baltimore. The Police Commissioner difficulty has been compromised. The new Commissioners appointed by the Governor, having been imprisoned on a writ issued by Judge Bond, are to be unconditionally released on this (Tues day) morning. The question of title is to be tried in the Courts. The old Judges of Election are to be removed and new ortes appointed by mutual agreement of both parties, the Judges to possess, each, a property qualification of SIO,OOO. It is thought that this will secure a fair vote of the people. We doubt it, how ever. FACIEI* LUIMEAM* A A ERM. The first three words ("The daughter of") of the telegram announcing the death of Secretary Seward's daughter were lost by the operator here 1 , in ta king off the dispatch. This made it an unequivocal announcement of the death of the Secretary of State, and for sev eral hours our community believed he was dead. Of course the news sadden ed the hearts of conservatives, and of decent people of all parties, but some of the Radicals were evidently delight ed. One of them—a leader—openly declared that he was glad the old polit ical renegade was out of the way. This brutal remark comes with peculiar bad grace, when it is remembered that it came from one who only a short time ago was a 'copperhead' and is now wear ing the bib-and-tueker of his Republi can baby-hood. Truly, Facilvs l)&cen- Averui. THE Somerset Herald (■ U'Aiflds very facetious on the subject of bribing vo ters. Its editor thinks Democrats must be a very corrupt sort of people, if, as we alleged, ( Jen. Geary's election was secured by money. This kind of log ic will not do, Mr. Scull. There are voters enough of the purchaseablekind, in this State, to give the majority to either party. You know this as well as you know anything. It is a melancholy fact, but it is, nevertheless, a /(ft. These corrupt men belong to no party. They are in the market and on election day Ixrome the property of the high est bidder. Rut money was used by your party, in the late election, not on ly in the purchase of votes, but to pay the expenses of colonizing voters from other States and from strong into weak Congressional districts. Your friend, John < 'ovode, can tell you all about that little game, Mr. Scull. Do you deny that your party used money to carry the election? If you do, then we an swer that we will put up a wager of fifty dollars that your candidates for Congress and Senator both sent large sums into this county, and if they will step into the witness-box and be sworn, we will rest our case upon their own testimony. What do you say to this, neighbor Scull ? Come, walk up to the scratch ! In conclusion, if all vo ters are so immaculate in your estima tion, especially all who vote the "Rad ical" ticket, how do you account for that singular admiration of President Johnson's policy, which distinguished thecolutnnsof the Herald A Whit) from other "Republican" papers, whilst Ed ward Scull was Collector of Internal Revenue, and how do you explain the opposition to that same policy mani fested in that same journal, since Ed ward Scull is no longer Collector as aforesaid ? THE New York Tribune has already abandoned the proposed Constitutional Amendment and now declares that the Southern States must be reconstructed , upon the basis of "Universal Suffrage and Universal Amnesty." That is, the people of the South, Jeff. Davis, rebel soldiers and all, are to be re-instated in full citizenship, if the freed negroes be given the right to vote. This is nothing more nor less than a bribe offered the Southern peo ple to induce them to adopt Negro Suf frage. It is accompanied by the threat that if they refuse to accept this bribe, they will bepunished by exclusion from representation in Congress, for an in definite period. The Constitutional Amendment was evidently only a snare to catch such voters as would not face squarely the question of Negro Suf frage. The next session of Congress will, doubtless, develop fully the insin cerity of the Radical Disunionists in putting before the country the proposed Constitutional Amendment as the ba sis upon which they are willing to "re admit the Southern States into the Un ion. Stevens, Kelley, Sumner, But ler and others will repudiate the A mendment and insist upon Universal Suffrage. Then will come the tug of war between the moderate and ultra factions of the Radical party. There are breakers ahead, depend upon it ! WAR. We want no more of the scourge of war. Quite enough of blood has lieen spilled and treasure wasted. The coun try needs peace, that the people, by set tling down to their old callings and pursuits, may restore material prosper ity and happiness. Humanity shrinks from the shedding of fraternal blood, and the great majority of the Ameri can people, true to its instincts, desire peace and fraternal fin-ling. The Radical leaders, however, want more blood. Jackal and hvena-like the taste they have had only whets their appetite for more. Blood ! blood ! Beast Butler and Forney, and the les ser animals of the pack throughout the country yelp in their feeble way, blood! THE EEEITIOV* OX TLESOVV. We are informed by telegraph, this 1 I Wednesday) morning, that Democrat ic victories have been achieved in Ma ryland and Delaware, and that all the other States which voted yesterday, in cluding New York, Illinois and Mis souri, have gone Radical, New Jer sey, probably, also, by a small ma jority. There is little doubt, however, that the Democrats have gained a num ber of members of Congress. In Mary land we gain a United States Senator in place of Creswell, Radical. New York city gives :{o,noo Democratic ma jority. Horace Greeley is defeated for Congress and James Brooks, who was cheated out of his seat last winter, is re-elected. SUITS have been instituted against several election officers for refusing to take the votes of alleged deserters, and the validity of the infamous law at tempting to disfranchise citizens with out a trial, will be thoroughly tested. — GET your neighbor to subscribe for the GAZETTE.

SWAXN, of Maryland, on the first iust., removed the Police Commission ers of Baltimore, who had appointed (as was proved in the investigation he fore the Governor) thieves, bawdy house keepers, and murderers as Judges of Election. The gentlemen appointed in their stead, were du !v qualified, accor ding to law, but when they called upon the ousted Commissioners to take pos session of the office to which they had been appointed, they were resisted and upon the oath of some political oppo ; nents, were carried before a partisan Judge and by him thrown into prison. At the present writing this infamous outrage remains uncorrected, and the vile scoundrels who were appointed judges of the dearest rights of three fourths of the voters of Baltimore, are still permitted to hold their places. Thus have the Radicals resisted the : law and set at defiance the authority of the Executive of the State of Mary land. Thus has revolution been inaug urated by these political desperadoes | and thus has been added another chap ter of shame to the history of the un fortunate city of Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, NOV 3. This has boon a day of intense exeite niont in Baltimore, exceeding that of the 19th of April, Early this morning it w as currently reported that the Sher iff was gathering a posse to aid the new Commissioners in obtaining possession of the Station Houses, where a large number of the old police force were stationed. The streets were tilled with anxious and excited people, and large crowds were gathered around and in the vicinity of the Marshal's office,and everything indicated a popular out break. Messrs. Valiant and Young the new ly appointed Police Commissioners, went, at ten o'clock this morning, to the office of the old Board to demand the books, papers, and possession of office, but were refused admittance at the door. There wa*ait immengecrowd in front of the office. All of the police officers and the special police adhered to the old Board, and there was much hurrahing and groaning, Ac. Finally, after a few minutes, the new ly appointed Commissioners proceeded to the office of Win. Schley, theircoun- j sel, in Lexington street, followed by a ■ a vast crowd, mostly their political ad- j lierents, to ask advice as to their future j course. No police were with the crowd, ; all the force being engaged guarding the station houses and office of the Po lice Board, and other places. The people are now greatly excited, and the thoroughfares are tilled with anxious crowds. Business is pretty well suspended, and there are significant indications that the military may be called upon before the day ends, which if done, and the old Board persist, they may he arrested, and the city put un der martial law. Gov. Swan is here, and more officers and soldiers are visible than usual.— Things look very squally. At noon, the new Commissioners,af ter spending about an hour with their counsel at his office, got into a carriage I having a document, understood to be a j formal demand for the delivery of the I office into their possession. They took a circuitous route, and af- j tor making a detour of about one mile ' to avoid the crowds, approached the Commissioners' office, where their up- j pearanee was the signal for tumultuous j demonstrations of disapproval by the ; now largely increased crowd. They were again admitted to the en- j closure, and at the door of the office ! were met by the Clerk of the Comrnis- j sioners, who received their document,! telling them that the Commissioners j would immediately consider the mat ter and make their reply in writing. Messrs. Valiant and Young then drove off to the corner of North and Baltimore streets, to the conservative headquarters, where they wore received with loud cheering by the crowd gath ered there. It is now understood they are organizing a new force. Quite a number of the old force resigned last night, and reported to Messrs. Young and Valiant this morning. Gen. Canby is here; but will not call out the troops unless an absolute riot occurs, which has not yet taken place. It seems that the new Board are de termined to persist in their efforts to obtain possession of the station houses, and the old Board seem equally deter mined to resist them. Things just now looked very feverish and it was momentarily expected that an outbreak would take place, in which event martial law will he proclaimed. About noon to-day, six companies of United States regulars (infantry) arri ved here from New York,and marched at once to Fort M'llenry. 2 P. M.—The new (Commissioners are still in their new office in North street, busily engaged in appointing their new police and other officers. They are also appointing judges of election for next Tuesday. They demanded from the old Board a written statement of what they designed doing, giving two hours for a reply; but no reply has yet been sent, and probably none will be. It is understood that the new Board have determined that the election next Tues day shall be conducted under their rule at newly selected election precints, whilst the old board are equally deter mined that said election shall be held under their orders, at the same old pre cincts, with the same judges; hence if United States troops do not interfere (and they are not much inclined to do so), two separate eiec ions will be held, the radicals voting at one place and the conservatives at another. 2) P. M.—The Police Commissioners, Young and Valiant, have been arrested by the city authorities, and are before JudgeßondjOftheCityCriminal Court, on a charge of common disturbers of the public peace. The excitement is very great, but there is no lighting. Sheriff' Thompson lias also been arres ted for illegally swearing in new police < Ifficers. At the Court House a few of the reg ular police force appeared in the vesti bule, and commenced at once to eject the Sheriff's posse, who were crowding up the stairway from thesouth entrance to the Sheriff's office above. A scuffle ensued, and for a time there was con siderable confusion and much threaten ing language used. Many of the spec tators becoming alarmed, made a hasty exit from the building, causing much excitement outside. Presently the new commissioners were seen approaching from the north endof the building, in Lexington street. They had scarcely entered, when Mar shal ('armiehael appeared, coming from the direction of the Central Police Sta tion, at the head of a large body of po lice, who made a rapid entrance, and in a few minutes cleared the Sheriff's pos se out of the building. On entering the Criminal Court, a Deputy Sheriff appeared, andannouae ed that the bench warrants for the arrest of Valiant and Young had been served, and in a few minutes thereafter the Sheriff appeared with Messrs. Valiant and Young in custody. The Court informed them that there would he an opportunity afforded them to procure counsel. Presently their counsel appeared, and inquired for the affidavits upon wh'tMi the arrest had been made. The State's Attorney briefly recited the evidence that had been given by the witnesses upon whose testimony the bench-warrants for the arrest had been issued. The counsel for the new commission ers then proceeded to argue that the ar rest was an unwarrantable one. Their clients were the duly commissioned Commissioners of Police, and were ex ercising only their legal authority. Judge Bond, however, gave his deci ded order that each of the parties (Val iant and Young) tie required to give bail in the sum of S2S,INK) to keep the peace towards the Board of Police ofthe city of Baltimore. Sheriff' Thompson was also required ito give bail in the same amount. It is understood that all the parties refused to give bail, and it is expected they will be committed. There are reports that they intend to appiffi to General Canby to be released from custody. The new police officers have disappeared from the streets. Some of them have been arrested. All is quiet, but a deep interest is manifested by the large crowds of peo ple in the streets, eagerly discussing affairs. The Commissioners and the* Sheriff i have just been sent to jail. Some excitement and riotous demon strations took place Ui the neighborhood ofthe newspaper office on the announce ment of the result of the proceedings in court, but the police promptly ended the matter by arresting the parties. It is believed that the whole affair will now pass off without any serious breach of the peace. The Excitement Sulwitlliig. BALTIMORE, Nov. :>. —The rain this evening has probably prevented a seri ous riot. Until nightfall the excitement was intense, and there was every ap pearance of a serious collision. At this hour (midnight) everything is quiet, hut public feeling is such that an out break may be looked forat any moment. A generous sympathy forGov. Swann's Commissioners is expressed every where. The Stale of Affairs on Sunday. BALTIMORE Nov. 4—Sunday Noon. The counsel forGov. Swann's newly-ap pointed Commissioners have made ap plication to Judge Bartol, of the Court of Appeals, for a writ of habeas corpus to bring before him the parties now held in custody by the Warden of the City Jail, under the order of Judge Bond, of the Criminal Court. It is rumored, probably with truth, that Gov. Swann went to Washington to-day. Fresh Complications. BALTIMORE, Nov. I — lo P. M.—The writ of habeas corpus has not yet been served at the jail, but will be to-mor row morning, and the friends of the newly-appointed ('onlmlssionersclaim that the warden will have to make his return immediately, it is currently reported that there will be a new set of judges of election announced to-mor row as appointed by the new Commis sioners. The registers of voters, it is also reported, have determined to re turn their lists only to the judges who shall be appointed by <iov. Swann's Commissioners. If this he so, there will be fresh complications. There is no doubt that the Police Board will ar rest all persons assuming to act in any capacity as by the authority of the reg ularly appointed Commissioners. All Radical revolutionists in Balti more and a large importation from other States, it is said, have been arm ed and put on as policemen by the old hoard. The Radicals are now fully launched in treason against the State, and, unless they rapidly recede, they will soon be in collision with the mili tary forces of the Government. It is a crying outrage that one-fourth the qualified voters of Baltimore should in defiance of right and law, be allow ed to disfranchise the overwhelming majority and riot in treason unrebuked. Has not Gov. Swann the nerve to do his duty and carry out the laws? We fear not. SANFOUD CONOVEK, (tlkts Charles A. Dunham, one of the assasination wit nesses, and one of the persons who was implicated in a recent conspiracy to con vict Jefferson Davis, by means ot sub orned witnesses, of being an accomplice in the stssassination of I'resident Lin coln, was arrested in New York last week and taken to Washington. He was arrested on theaffidavits of W illiani H. Roberta, s. A. Hoare t and L. C. Turner, who charge him with perjury. This is the same fellow with whom Joe Holt corresponded and to whom numer ous sums of money were sent to secure witnesses against Davis. The Radical villainy will all come out some time or other—and then the country will open iD eves and wonder. The Fexiax Tkiaes. —The Fenian trials were resumed yesterdey, and Daniel Whelans was placed in the dock. On application of his counsel, Ins trial was postponed until December 12th. Mr. McKenzie announced liisreadiness to proceed with l'arrize's case, but the main witnesses not being present, it was postponed until Tuesday next. The Grand Jury then entered court with a true bill against Thomas Cooney, Thom as School, william Dugan, and John O'Connor, ail Fenian prisoners. Coon ey was then placed in the dock, and pleaded not guilty. 1 lis trial was fixed for the ldth inst. School was next put in the dock. He claimed to be an American citizen, and pleaded not guil ty. His trial was fixed for the loth inst. Duggan pleaded the same, and his trial was also fixed for the 10th instant. Bi'EFAi.o, Nov. 5. —Considerably ex citement prevailed at Fort Erie last night in expectation of a Fenian raid. The cause ofthe panic seems to have been the arrival of the United States steamer Michigan, which has come to restore the Fenian arms captured last June, and a Fenian demonstration on Sunday afternoon on the iron works portion of the city, where Senator Mor rison and other prominent Fenians made speeches. After the meeting a crowd followed thespeakers,and it look ed as though some demonstration was to be made. A person having some gold about him was seized as a british spy, but was res cued before badly used. The affidavits going to prove the in nocence of Ilec. Mr. M'Mahon, now mi rier sentence of death in Toronto, have been forwarded to Washington. —On Saturday, two brothers, resi ding in New York,named respectively Charles and Daniel Baker, were out shooting in Colchester. Daniel had been reclining on the ground but sprang up just as his younger brother had taken aim at a bird, and getting in front of him received the whole charge of the gun, which was loaded with slugs, which pierced his breast, causing almost instant death. Before be ex pired he absolved his brother from blame. —A dreadful accident occurred near Peoria, 111.,0n Monday night. A man named George Grazier was filling a kerosene lamp that was lighted, when it exploded, setting fire to the house, which burned down, and burning to death his three youngest children, a babe one year, a girl seven, and a boy nine years old. Himself and his old est boy were severely, if not fatally burned, and his wife considerably in jured. It occurred at midnight. —A man named Martin Tate, living in Cumberland county, Pa., died on Sunday night, of hydrophobia.

I was ad ! vised by a friend to try one of Allcock's Porous ! Plasters I said, I had tried several kindsof plas- I ters without any benefit, and supposed they were | all alike.

It is over 19 years since I : introduced my medicine, the VENETIAN LINIMENT, j to the public. I had no money to advertise it, so ! I left it for sale with a few druggists and store -1 keepers through a small section of the country, i many taking it with great reluctance; but I told ! them to let any one have it, and if it did not do all I stated on my pamphlet, no one need pay for it. In some stores two or three bottles were taken on trial by persons present. I was, by many, ! thought crazy, and that would be the last they would see of me. But I knew my medicine was no ; humbug. In about two months I began to receive , orders for more Liniment, some calling it my val ! uable Liniment, who had refused to sign a receipt ' when I left it at their store. Now my sales are '■ millions of bottles yearly, and all for cash. I war j rant it superior to any other medicine for the cure i of Croup, Diarrha-a. Dysentery, Colic, Vomiting, j Spasms, and Sea-sickncss, as an internal remedy.
