Temperance in Political Discussion.
"The times are out of Joint" Ultralsm Is
the order ot the day, and the earnest desire
to grasp the truth and a decisive courage in
maintaining il, engendered by our war, have
proved contagious to manner as well as Idea.
Our people are rapidly falling Into the grave
error ol supposing that the possession of posi
tive views demands a positive way of expres
sion, and have learned to believe that a loud
voice and an excited delivery bring convic
tion. The bloody scenes through which we
have passed in the last fve years have,
brought us in contact with men who held
sentiments at once disgraceful to themselves
and insulting to their auditors. When these
views were declared, it is no cause of surprise
that loyal hearers lost their tempers and in
dulged in abuse. Because such was unavoid
able in times of war, and the best of our
citizens indulged in it, the masses of those
who are but imitators have affected a loss of
temper, until over all the land seems to have
spread the epidemic ol passion and the invi
tation, "Come, let us reason together," is
almost unheard.
Now this condition of feeling is one which
all right-thinking men will join with us in
sincerely deploying. The only way in which
a misjudgment can be corrected is by calmly
arguing with the holder of the wrong views,
and convincing him by quiet reasoning that
he is in error. It is idle to endeavor to intimi
date a sensible man into assenting to your
views by using the voice of a Stentor, or going
through some of the attitudes of the prize
ring. Every man of any spirit will at onco
use a name as offensive as your own, and
either return your violence, or, if he be a
gentleman, quietly turn his back and leave
you alone. To assault a man's doctrine is to
make him their bitter advocate.
Our public speakers seem to have forgotten
the maxim of Jefferson, "Error of opinion
can be tolerated where reason is left free to
combat it," and falling back to the more con
genial doctrines of the Inquisition, seem de
sirous of making martyrs of all who do not
agree with them in opinion. We repeat that
such a state oi affairs in the political world is
, one which should be deprecated and remedied.
It is only natural that the fumes ot war which
still fill the atmosphere should lead to such
excesses of expression as occasionally might
be tolerated, but that they should be chronic
is indeed a sad proof of national spirit and
popular temper. The term "traitor" and
"Copperhead" died witu the fall of the Iiebel
lion. We have no such persons now. There
may be ''traitors," ami we believe there are,
but so far as an overt act is concerned there
are none in the country ; and to term a man a
"traitor" is a slander, for which he could re
cover damages in the courts. We regret to
see this indiscriminate use of insulting titles.
The Democracy call the Republican party "dis
unionists," and the Republican party xetorts
with the chaste epithet of "traitors," though
both the tonus are inapplicable. The Repub
lican party has a record such as to render the
name "disunionist" simply the spitetul utter
ance of an imbecile while, if the conserva
tives do include all the late traitor", it is no
reason why the party is traitorous. The ex
punging ot all adjectives lrom the dictionary
would lend greatly to advance decency and
cultivate common sense among our political
speakers. All sobor-minded men are dis
gusted by hearing a speaker endeavor to
oveicome his adversary by indulging in such
epithets as would do honor to a fishmonger of
Billingsgate. Let us have some courtesy in
political discussion, let a spirit of moderation
in manner and temperance in utterance be
inculcated; for unless some such reform is
speedily made, we tear to think of what the
style of argument in the next generation will
be. The children who see their fathers always
slake their fists in an opponent's face, will
very likely not hesitate to put a ballet through
a political opponent when they are men, and
all discussion will degenerate into brute force.
It Is a duty our public men owe to their
children, as well as to their own selt-respect,
that the excessive intemperance ot language
be immediately abandoned, and reason and
politeness once more resume their sway.
The New York Jlerald contains a special
despatch, stating that Jefferson Davis is to be
released after the fall elections. We shall not
be at all surprised. So far as wo are concerned,
we cannot see why he should not be as free as
Stephens, Clay, and a host of others. It he is
to be tried, let him bo tried at once ; If not, we
see no use of holding him. It is lor a princi
ple, and not trom personal enmity, that we re
commend his punisamenu
Gold still continues to flow hither from
Europe. By the City of London we will
have half a million more. Five-twenties
declined slightly, but their introduction into
the Paris Bourse will soon render us Inde
pendent of British speculation. In Germany
all our securities are in demand.
TVttAT the 'IIe.bald" Says. The New
Tort Jlerald. President Johnson's national
organ, contains the following significant para-
eranh in its issue of this morning:
"We regard conM between the President
and Congress as virtually decided by Maine. We
In ths tA,rmimt or" the neoele Ot the TO'CWy
jforth, andxee trust that the President will shape
his course aocoraingiy."
The Gold Reserve. We are glad to
see that Mr, MoCulloch has decided, and con
tinues to stand steadfastly by his decision, not
to sell any of the Government gold. There
can be no possible good result from throwing
it on the market. On the contrary, it will
produce absolute evil. So long as It is under
stood that the power is vested in the Secre
tary to compel the tall of gold by flooding
the market, so long can be have a ftr greater
Influence than when be has expended its force
and the worst has been felt by Wall street
It is sound policy which dictates that the
fear of ill is tar greater than the ill itself.
You can keep a man in terror so long as he
docs not know the exact power you have
over him, but once exercise your full influ
ence, and you either kill the man or else he
ceases to fear you. We tried the experiment
of attempting to control the market twice last
winter, and it tailed utterly. The power of
the Treasury is negative, and as soon as it
steps beyond that its influence ends. If the
present wise course Is followed out, we be
lieve that we will have a return to specie
payments in the course of a lew years, and
we hope that none of the addresses of Wall
street bankers will cause the least deviation
from the established rule ot action.

A BOLD HOTEL. THIEF.
Several Patrons of the Metropolitan, Fifth Avenue,
and other Hotels Robbed One of the Victims a
Mexican General The Thief an Insurance
Broker His Arrest, Etc
For some dnvs Dast Mr. Samuel Porter. Sue-
cial Deputy Sheriff, employed at the Metro oo
litan Hotel, has been on the alert lor a thief
who had been entering Doaraers' rooms and
purloining property. Late on Wednesday after
noon Mr. Porter observed a Buspicioua looking
man on one of the upper floors of the hotel,
and accordingly watched his movement .
The 6transter was seen to listen at tue Key
holes of several rooms, and, thinking the coast
clear, the fellow, with a false key, entered rooui
No. 103, occupied by General G. Sanchez Genoa,
of Mexico, and stole therefrom a coat, pair of
pants, sntrts, ana otner articles, vat uea at $77.
Tbe suspected party was immediately arrested
by Mr. Porter, and pave his name as Henry
Watson. On searching the prisoner the goods
stolen lrom the Mexican General's room wore
found in Watson's possession. The accused also
had m Uis pockets door Keys troui ine Metropo
litan and Filth Avenue Hotels, and also the
Astor House, beside? a large number or trunk
aud skeleton keys. In one oi Watson's pockets
was discovered a pair ot eje-giasses, it oeing a
portion ot $4 J worth ot doming, etc., taken
lrom tue room ol air. unaries w. maineav.
stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel.
Tbis room was entered and robbed on tue
evening ot tbe 10th instant, during the absence
of Mr. Matneny. His property, wltn, the excep
tion of tde ejVglasses, has uoi been recovered,
the prisoner stubbornly refusing to tell what
dispo'ittou ne naa made ot it. uetecuve Elder
jesierday assisted Mr. Porter in working up the
cue, and in doing so learned that a Catholic
clergyman had been robbed or nis robes at the
Astor House; but as that gentleman is at present
attending a convention in mm more ne cannot
now appear to make a complaint. Mr. Charles
II. Harkness, alo lormeriy stopping at the
Astor House, had his room entered and robbed
of a considerable amount of property, which has
not been recovered.
Yesterday atteruoon Watson was taken before
Justice Dowling and committed to the Tombs
for trial, ball being rerused. He is teniy-tUo
yeais of auc, was born In Philadelphia, is an in
surance broker, and says ho lives in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, xnat ne naa a room there is
certain, lor the officers found a small quantity
of stolen property tnere. weiore oeing sent to
the Tombs Watsou was "shown up" to the prin
cipal hotei-keepers ot the city, and had bis

, Letter from Meioi-ienrrnl Coster on
the Indianapolis Disturbance.
Cincinnati, Ohio, September 12. To Genoral
8. Meredith Dear Sirt In compliance wltn
your request, and to correct misrepresentations
already puoiisneo, i give you me louowms
statement of what I saw relatiuar to the disgrace
ful riot which occurred In Indianapolis on tbe
evening ot the President's reception in that city.
1 had returned to my room trom tho supper
table, where 1 had left tbe President and most
of the party. Tn streets about tho hotel were
densely packed by the crow a wailing to see and
bear the President. Loud and continuous calls
were made for Johnson, Seward, Grant, Farra
gut, ana others.
I was seated tn the window of my room, which
was in the second story of tbe Bates House, and
immediately overlooking the crowd in the
street. Several hundred torches and transpa
rencies boino among tbe crowd rendered tbe
secue as li?ht,as mid-day, sojthat I could see and
distinguish the luces of every person in the
crowd below. I am thus minute in eMail in
older to prove to jou that I could ee all that
was trimspirlne. Nothing ol a disorderly char
acter occurred until one of the Marshals ot the
day as seen making nis way on uorsebnek
through the crod to a point where torch
bearers were located. After apparently receiv
ing directions to that effect, they began to move
off in column.
Tbis was the signal for an atfack by the
crowd, which was begun by knocking down
torc hes and transpatencics with clubs, and iu
some instances wresting them trom the hands of
holders. This continued without resistance for
the sp .ee of probably two m nutes, although
several In the procession had been struck and
beaten over their heads. A rush was dually
made by tbe crowd, aud several torches lorcibly
taken lrom the proce.-sion and the handles
UM?d as weapons against those In the procession.
The trt.nspareiicy bearing tbe motto '"Irish
Anierican Citims Welcome tue Pre-sidcntof the
United States," seemed to lie a special object of
attack, aud was seized and attempted to be
trampled tinder loot. The attempt failed, and
the bearer lesisted by using bis transparency as
a club.
This was the signal for a general attack by the
crowd. At this moment the brst shot was tired,
and as an etlort has been made to attach the
blame and responsibility of mis disgraceful pro
ceeding of that occasion upon innocent parties,
and beins in possession of fuels which enable
me to fix guilt where it belongs, I hereby state
that 1 plainly saw the man who tired the first
shot, and saw him at the moment he tired. He
w as one of the attacking party belonging to tue
crowd, and his aim wnen firing was directed
into the procession and apparently at the bearer
ot the transparency referred to above. This was
a signal lor other shots, and it was not until
alter a dozen or so shots were fired by the at
tackina paity lhat, any was returned by those
belcnging to tbe procesion, wnen a single n.an
left thCprocession, stepped Into the open epace
which had been cleared by the tiriur, and de
liberately aimed and tired twice at one of the
mob, who was some twpnty yards distant, and
who was still firing towards the torch-boarcrs.
This closed the disturbance for the lime being.
The iacts, as I have related them, were wit
nessed by Mr. Spoti'ord, of Boston, Mr. McGin
nis, ot Chicago, and two ladies, ail of whom are
members of the President's party, who were in
my room at tbe time. General Grant also wtt
ne'seed them from another window, and informed
ihe President of what he had seen, a few mo
ments after it transpired. Afer the Presidenc
returned to his room, tacintr the balcony, the
crowd again assembled in tronr. wnen another
disturbance arose. 1 was standing with tho
President in his room, when I heard two or
three thots tired: I looked out of tbe window
just in time to see a man tire a pistol at another
Manning near h'.m. The wounded man tell, and
was soon tf'er picked up and carried into a drug
store on the lower floor. No more shots were
fired.
General Grant, after twice appearing on the
ba!cony and requesting the crowd to disperse
nnd eo home, induced respectable persons to do
so. About one hundred and fifty or more of the
rouorbs and Thuss of tbe city, and wbo probably
began and upheld the riot, remuined in front of
the hotel, indulging in vile epithets, until a late
hour. To use tbe wor's oi secretary sewaraon
that occasion, the loyal inhabitants had retired
to their homes, while the disloyal remnlucd in
the street. G. A. CusrER.
The underslened eve-witnesses of the riot at
TnrllntinnnliR. on the eveniDH of September 10.
do hereby bear unuuallaed testimony to the
accurate and truthful descriDtlon thereof con
tainediathe foregoing letter of Major-General
Custor. rt. apoFPORn,
John McGinms, Jr,
A portefaiz ealled Smith, and a woman
called brown, by trade a huckster, ootn natives
of London, love each other tenderly, and desire
to be united in marriage, but there is one ob
stacle to their being so; for the fact is, that one
or other of tbe parties is always iu prison-
when one comes out ot rue House oi correction,
the other goes in. In a very short space ot time
Smith has been imprisoned nineteen times and
Mad'lle Brown lourteen. The loth of last
month, however, for a wonder, both were tree
at the sunie time, and everything was prepared
for the wedding. Unluckily, when Smith, on
the wedding-day, was going to tbe house oi his
fair bride to conduct her to church, he could
not resist the temptation of stealing a pair of
boots, which were hung at a shop-door. Caught
in the act, poor Smith, instead ot going to
church, went to orison, and thus a martiage,
w hich bad been contemplated for five years, has
been aguiu obliged, to be put ou.
Amongst the crowd of persons who, a few
days ago. were amusing themselves at tue
Jardin des l'lantes by watching the gambols of
the monkeys, of which the Zoological Society
has so splendid a collection, was an elderly
gentleman, who wore a loncibeard. This ceu
tleinan, whilst watching the playful annuals,
approached unconsciously too close to the cage
when one ot tbe mischievous monkeys seized
him by the beard, and, drawing his face close
to the bars, commenced to caress him in tbe
most disagreeable manner. All efforts on the
part of tho elderly gentleman to disengage
nimseit irom the monkey's grasp were in vain
and it was not until five ov Mx of tho spec
tutors bad come to h's aid that he was
rescued from the animal's erasp, and this was

News from Dr. Llvinetoue. thp African ex
plorer, has been received in Knsrlaiid. His
friend. Dr. Kuk, writes, under date of Zauz
bar, July 11: "Dr. Livingstone has falrlv
pat-sed the troublesome Court people, and is
Jiving with a good chief, who seems to have
taken his fancy. He is with the head man of
Ueonano, a place thirty miles above tbe place
where vte turned on our boat voyage up tb
Rovumay, at the confluence of the" Liondi. Ho
now proposes leaving some ot his baggage with
this man, and exploring the north end of Nyaa.
Afterwards he will return to Cgonnno, anil reit
for a loner trip to Taujanyita. We send up his
letters, ana a supply ot quinine and newJ, to
await bis return. Our next chance will pro
bably be to send supplies to meet him at Ualgi.
I cannot say they will ever reach, but they may,
and scch will be a windfall."
