The Presidential Election.
JJvbb If the Republican partj were disposed
to ignore the issues growing out of the war the
Pemocratio party would foroe them upon the
Attention of the people, by the oharaoter of its
candidates and the manner in which they are
advocated. There are many indications that
the unrepentant Rebels and their Northern
allies intend to perpetuate In a new form the
old conllict. Toombs, the great ohatnpion of
secession in the Senate and in Georgia, the
earnest advocate and supporter of the Rebel
lion in all its phases, who fled to Europe after
the Rebel armies were vanquished,
and made himself ridiculous and notorious
at oelebrated watering-plaoes on the Continent
by his vituperation of the United States Govern
ment, and his violent denunciation of all the
foes of seoession is now one ef the warmest
advocates of Seymour and Blair, and at a
recent ratification meeting at Atlanta, he con
cluded his speech endorsing the Demooratio
ticket with these significant words: "As we
have now no possibility of Jighting with the twrd,
let ut fight with the ballot-box 1" Wade Ilamp
ton made a declaration equally significant
when he remarked that by proper exertions
the principles of the rebellion, although over
thrown by arms, could still be maintained in a
large degree by hearty co-operation with
the Demooratio party. Ilenry A. Wise,
in advocating the election of the Demo
oratio nominees, said that he protested
against the New York platform, declaring
that he "dissented from its very first plank.
Slavery he acknowledged was dead, but seces
sion was not dead." lie added that "Seymour
he liked, and would vote for, because straws
Show which way the wiul blows." A host of
lesser Rebel luminaries in the South, and of
Northern sympathizers with the Rebellion, do
not attempt to conceal their determination to
Tote for Seymour and Blair mainly, if not ex
clusively, because they are the best available
representatives of the sentiments which the
Rebel armies struggled in vain to establish.
"The straws" by which Seymour indicated his
Sympathy with the South were numerous.
At the commencement of the difficulties, he
denied the right of the Federal Government to
coerce a State, uttering dogmas which are the
negative counterpart of the positive doctrine of
Secession. Atalaterperiod, after the Confederate
Government was organized at Montgomery,
he expressed the opinion that the true policy
of the American people was to abandon the
Federal Constitution, and to withdraw their
allegiance from the properly chosen authori
ties at Washington, so that they might fial
refuge under the genial guidance of Jeff.
Davis, and re-establish the Union by a tame
Surrender to the most daring and dangerous
traitors it had ever produced. Subsequently
he obstructed the draft, and made the famous
Speech which, if it was not intended to inoite
a Northern rebellion, was certainly well
designed to prod ace the popular commotion
which speedily followed in the terrible riots
that delnged the streets of New York with
blood, and required the transmission to that
city at a critical period of the war of a large
body of United States troops, who were greatly
needed in front. At a later date, but before
the conclusion of the war, it is alleged that
emissaries of the Rebel Government endeav
ored to open a correspondence with Horatio
Seymour for the purpose of securing his co
operation and assistance in re-establishing
peace on disgraceful and humiliating terms.
When it is remembered, too, that Vallan-
digham, the chosen oraole .. and lead
ing representative of Copperheadism, was the
man who first boldly insisted in the New York
Convention that Seymour should be nominated
in spite of his declination of the proffered
honor, it will readily be seen that the Demo
crats have chosen a thorough representative
of the anti-war wing of their party. Instead
of gracefully yielding to the decrees of the
nation, and seeking to regain power by direot
ing exclusive attention to new issues, they
demand from a patriotio people an endorse
ment of their old heresies, and they have pre
ferred pleasing their old Rebel leaders and
their most radical associates to a ohange of
men anl measures or to a reoantation of
their past errors. For General Blair's ser-
vices in the war, they consider his avowal of a
desire to overthrow the reconstructed Govern
menta a sufficient atonement, and they forgive
rather than honor his martial deeds ia support
of the Union cause. lie has so thoroughly
identified himself with the movement inaugu
rated for the purpose of enabling the Rebels
to regain absolute rule over the South, that
they pardon him for his temporary loyalty,
and regard him as a faithful supporter of their
worst designs.
A bold contrast with the ticket thus
tainted with the odors of the Rebellion,
is presented by the Republican nominees,
Grant and Colfax, the former worthily repre
senting the military arm of the Union, and
the latter the patriotio Congress which never
faltered in its support of the national cause.
It is impossible that the American people can
forget, when they are forced to choose between
flnoU contestants for national honors, the great
events of the recent war, and the reoorcU of
the rival candidates. They will instiuutivuly
feel impelled to honor the great soldier of the
republio, not only for his valorous deeds, and
the principles which he represents, but on
aocouut of the measures, antecedents, and
.sympathies, identified with, and embodied by,
utguiiBt.
Sir. 2zZZZZZ rrcpo.td Aaendmenti.
I if addition to the Constitutional ohanges pro
pored by Mr. Johnson in the manner of elect
ing the President and in filling the offioe tern
porarily in case of a vacancy, whioh we no
ticed at length yesterday, Mr. Johnson reoom
mends that the term of offioe of the Chiet
Magistrate be extended to six years, and that
"no President or Vice-President shall be eli
gible for reelection to a second term." This
is substantially the recommendation made and
persistently repeated by President Jackson,
and although it has been before the country
for full forty years, it has failed to attraot
general attention or to command universal
approval. It might be expedient to render
the Chief Magistrate ineligible for rebleotlon
for the sake of securing a more devoted atten
tion to the passing duties inoumbent upon
him, and to prevent the adoption of a polioy
which has. for its prinoipal object his second
elevation to power, regardless of the best inte
rests of the country for the time being.
But the advantages to be thus gained would
be more than counterbalanced by the impossi
bility of continuing in offioe a man whe
merited and commanded the entire conflJenoe
of the people in times of great national peril.
If eneh a provision had been in foroe during
the recent Rebellion, it would have been
equivalent to a national calamity in prevent
ing the re-election of Mr. Linooln, who
quaintly illustrated the necessities of the
times by the old story about "swapping horses
while crossing a Bwollen river." Yet the
question is open to argument on both sides,
and would demand the most careful considera
tion before a satisfactory and wise conclu
sion could be arrived at.
The same may be said of Mr. Johnson's
proposition to extend the presidential term to
six years. While this would result in an un
disguised blessing by diminishing the fre
quency of presidential eleotions, and the in
tense excitement . and bitterness which fre
quently attend them, it would, likewise, fre
quently result in fastening upon the nation a
" policy" from whioh it might unmistakably
desire to be released. Public sentiment is
frequently revolutionized within four years,
and if an unpopular and heaJstrong Presi
dent, such as Mr. Johnson has shown himself
to be, should be fastened upon the nation for
a longer period, impeachment for merely
political reasons would become the only
remedy, and, it is to be feared, one of com
mon resort.
Mr. Johnson further recommends that the
life tenure of the Federal Judiciary should be
changed to one of twelve years' duration, re
garding the former as being "incompatible
with the spirit of a republican form of gov
ernment." This argument is the weakest
that can be advanced in support of the ohange.
It is essential to an incorruptible and tho
roughly impartial judiciary that it should be
removed as far as possible from the influence
of publio opinion, which is altogether too
af modic to be a safe guide in matters of
legal nicety, and the settlement of questions
of a constitutional character. The judi
ciary should be rendered so secure in its
tenure of office as to exempt it from popular
clamor and democratic tendencies. With here
and there an exception, the experiment of an
elective judiciary, which has been made in
many of the States, has resulted in a misera
ble failure; and every advanoe of the judiolal
system of the country at large towards pure
democracy tends to imperil its charaoter for
incorruptibility and to detract Irom the sound
ness of its decrees. Yet under the present
system it is possible for the Federal judiciary
to be enfeebled by the weight of years and
infirmities, and some scheme should oartainly
be devised whereby its superannuated mem
bers may be retired from active duty, and
placed on a reasonable allowance in return for
devoting the best years of their manhood to
the service of the Republio. Its thorough
organization is imperatively demanded in
many essential respects, and the question as
to how this desirable result may be best ac
complished demands far more attention than
is accorded it by our rulers.
The only remaining recommendation made
by Mr. Johnson in his message to Congress
proposes the election of the members of the
National Senate by the people of the States,
instead of their appointment by the State
Legislatures. This change is certainly a de
suable one. Under the present system it
frequently happens that one party carries an
election for members of the Legislature by a
large majority on the popular vote, while,
through the inequality of the districting, the
opposition return the greater number of mem
bers, and thereby secure to the minority of
the people of the State the represen
tation in the national Senate. This was the
case in Illinois in 1858, when Stephen A,
Douglas secured his re-election, although Mr
Lincoln had a clear majority on the popular
vote; and this has not been the only instance
of the kind, the last elections in Ohio and
Connecticut presenting similar anomalies.
The proposed change might, however, lower
the character of the Senate, by throwing open
its doors to scheming politicians. Bat aa we
are not even now exempt from their presenoe
in that body, the only objection to the change
carries but little weight.
Mb. Charles Fuancis Adams will be wel
comed, we are told, by a grand banquet by
the citizens of Boston. This compliment ia to
aoertaln extent a merited one. During the
war Mr. Adams did good servloe by his
adroitness and diplomacy In turning away all op
portunity for the recognition of the Confederacy
by Great Britain. He was eminently qualified
'or the post he held. All his instinots and
trainings were In diplomatio channels, and
it is doubtful whether any other man could
have averted a collision so skilfully As to his
failures we can reoall none, except the
semi-approval whioh, rumor says, he has given
i to the autioua of Mr. Johnson. If tills be trao,
however, it Is a failing so great as to oanoel
most of the good whioh he has aooomplished.
It is probable, however, that when at home
he will see more clearly than he oould when
abroad, the great issue of the battle between
Andrew Johnson and the American people.
fiXYMOUB's "Fjmehds." The Wilmington
(Del.) Commercial aers: "A gentleman of this
city who vai for some time daring the war
chief muaterlng officer of the Department of
Washington, refera to a faot wblon waa well
known and severely com men ted upon by the
officers In the vol an leers. This was theoonduot
of Governor Seymour of New York toward the
offioersof regiments fiom that State. His dis
gust for the Union cause, or his personal feeling
Against, the soldiers, or some similar motive,
made him the most tardy, un accommodating
and Ill-natured Governor of all the loyal States.
In the matter of making out commissions tor
officers who had been promoted, bis delay was
so scandalous), that many served for months
atd months as capUiti or field officers, but for
want ol their commissions drew pay only aa
lieutenants. By securing the personal Influence
of some of the New York political associates of
the Governor, greater promptness resulted; but
when merit or the necessities of the service
were the only recommendations, it was evident
tb nt the Union soldiers could not be Included
among the Governor's 'friends.' "
Th Reduction of thb Navt has steadily
progressed. While the war was In progress the
vessels In our navy numbered over five hun
dred. They are now reduced to about eighty-
screw sloops, paddle-wheels, frigates, gunboats
store-ships, etc Five of the most effective of
these are yet In the navy yards, and mount 81
guns; seven are witu Aimlial Farragut, num
bering also 83 guns; twelve, of 113 g ins, form
the Asiatic Squadron, under Rear Admiral
Rowan; seven, ol 67 guns, are with Rear Admi
ral Dahlgren.on the South Pacific Station; Rear
Admiral Craven commands eleven with 121
guns, on the North Paclfio Station; Rear Admi
ral Davis has seven with 75 guns, on the South
Allanlio Station; eight, with 73 guns, are with
Rear Admiral Uoff, on the North AllanMo Sta
tion; while Vioe Admiral Porter has thirteen-
with 145 guns, in the Naval Academy Squadron;
and (.even, with 73 guns, are on the lakes and
on home stations.
Anti-Grant Arguments. The New York
Time thus depicts the sorrowful plight of De
mocratic editors and orators. "The Demooratio
papers are in great straits to find out some way
of attacking Grant. They cannot deny that he
led our armies to victory and saved the Union;
tbey cannot deny his immense services to the
country; they oannot deny his executive and
practical genius; they caanot deny his personal
or official Integrity. And so they have got up
a variety of expedients some pitiful, some
villainous. Thus the World has been writing
silly nonsense for several months past about
his name, and latterly It has resorted to the old
but worthless dodge of unscrupulous party
hacks, of making charges of drunkenness. Tais
Is the best and worst they can do; and we should
think it must convince even the most hide
bound Democrat that the opposition to Grant
has nothing whatever to stand upon."
Disraeli Is certainly one of the most Indis
creet men that ever held the reins of power ia
England, ana contrives to render himself more
and more unpopular. Not long since the Lon
don Woming-men's Association drew his atten
tion to the lnoonvenlence of the four-o'clock
closing hour of the polls, and asked him to re
ceive a deputation which is the English mode
of learning and promising attention to the de
sires of constituents or people. But the Premier
declined to grant the request, "because be had
numerous engagements," and, moreover, said
it was hopeless to attempt a change of hour, as
the time bad already been fixed by Parliament
Thus everybody is pushed aside, inconsequence
of the Premier's "engaeements "
Tun Massachusetts State Republican Com
mit It e bave Issued an address In which they
say that Grant has no political dogmas that
will btand lu the way of a reasonable adminis
tration of Government, and no polliioal hatreds
on which to buildup and encourage faction
after he shall have entered on bis term of offioe.

REPLY OF E. B. WARD, TnB WESTERN MANUFAC
TURER, TO A. T. SrE WART.
The rhicauo HepuUican of the 20tu pub-li.-lies
the following:
The New York importers seem to bo exces
sively penmive to any allusion to the vast
lrauls on the Treasury that are daily practised
in tbat immaculate city. One of the largest
Bruis cbilms to have been an especial object of
attack in my report to the Clevelaud Conven
tion, when their names wero not mentioned.
1 am not much surprised at the especial
auxie'.y ol great and honorable bouses, since the
terrible exposures at Bosiou, that resulted in
tue suicide ot one ot the members of a wealthy
firm, aud especially when the Secretary ot the
Treasury reports that the undervaluations in
imported poods amount to twenty er cent.,
and be refer epppcially to the importation of a
large class ot goods uiauuiactured especially
lor the markt t. atiardiug tempting opportuni
ties lor successful undervaluations. And fur
ther, In his report, lie cays, "But perhaps after
all the port ot Mew York, a labvrintuiau world
In itaelt, affords as great, it not greater, facilities
for defrauding the revouuo by evading payment
of d sties, as auy other locality; and 1 bave
reason to believe tbat the most of what U done
there is done on a large scale."
What importers in New Kork are most con
spicuous lor setting goods manufactured in
Europe oipressly lor the American trade ? Who
is it that the Commissioner of customs refers to
tbat is evading the payment of full duties on
their importations, aud does it on a large scale?
Will the leading importors of New York answer?
AlniOht the whole of the dry goods imporied
into this country come through New York, aud
through a tew houses. Where is this 20 per cent,
of undervaluations referred to by the Secretary
tmupgled away 1 Is it not visible in the stately
marble blocks so conspicuous lu the great
metropolis ?
If New York hotves were as thoroughly in
vestigated as a few Boston houses bave been,
there might be a hundred-fold more occasion
lor suicides than there was in the literary capi
tal, and it the Government was fully remunerated
for pabt delinquencies, some of the most
aiaptiidcent estates would be likely to sink Into
ordinary lortuues. Let the free tra le Importers
take the Government otliuials to tabk for misre
presentation if these things are not true. But
it thev are true, let the Govern ruent do its duty
to all alike, and see to It tbat this 20 per cent, of
undervaluations is ttoppea, ana mat me vast
sums tbat have been accumulated through this
agency be restored to the Government. Com
mou sense people have their own views about
these tblugs, aud all the bluster of the indignant
importers will only tend to tlx the trauda
where they Juttly belong.
Brrrone auy ope flittl rkOUlO, Import f 20,QQ0,-
000 of goods in ooe year; tbe indTvaluaoDs
being 20 per cfnt., there would be $4,(MK),000 of
goods upon which the duties are not paid. This,
at an avprarc of 60 per cnt duty would yield
net of $2,000,000, or, it this proQt was divided
between the Importer and his castomBrs, tbe
importer would net $1,000,000. H the Secretary
Is correct, bow eaiy It is for a shrewd Importer
to roll up a vast lortune at the expense of th
public, and in a manner scarcely perceptible to
tbe rest oMbe world, except tn Us transoarecl
results. Thus it Is tbst protective duties are
practically annullrd, while our own maoufuc
tuieis are struggling for an existence.

A Grand Jury In a Fix.
THBT INDICT A MAM FOR A M URDHR TH4T WAS NOT
COMMUTED.
The Memphis Jtul'e'in of July 18, say?: .
On tbe morning ot Sunday a difficulty occurred
on Commerce street, between Officer Sauerman,
of the police force, and a notorious negro,
iamrd Cbarlcy Peoples. Charley had been
acting in a very disorderly manner, and the
ollierr took htm Into custody. At tbe time,
peoples was armed with a heavy ciun. aud when
tbe officer was about to convey him to tbe
police station. Peoples raised nis club and
threatened to dash out tbe officer's brains.
JuM as be was Bbout to suit the action to the
worJ, 8iiueiman drew his pistol and fired, and
the contents lodged la Peoples' breast.
He was conveyed to an adjoining house,
where his wounds were dressed, aud
he was afterwards taken to his house in Chelsea,
hauernan surrendered to Captain Sioious, of
ibe First District Police Stat ou, but as it was
qure evident that he acted in selt-deicnse.be
was allowed to return to duty. On the follow,
ingoay itwns reported that Peoples bad died
from the effects of his wound, aud, the matter
being brought before the Grand Jury, a true
bill was found aga ust Sauerman, Indicting him
for muidcr In tbe firs, degree. Toe strangest
part ot tbe affair, however, is that a couple of
members of tbe First 1'obce District went to
Chelsea yesterday, to sec how Penples was get
tn g ali DL', as It was 6tied tbat, although re
potted dead, he was alive a?ain. Tbey called
at tbe bouse occupied by Peoples, and on
making inquiry regarding his condition, were
tDlormed that be had gone out to take a walk
for tbe good of his health, having almost re
covered from tbe wound icflictei by Snu'-rman.
The story, although strange, Is a true one. and
tbe grand jury of tbe Criminal Court have cer
tainly placed themselves lu a very curious
fircdicameDt. What action they will take to-day
n the Hauermsn murder case remains to be
se?n. It is rather rich to return a verdict of
murder in the first dj-gree" agalust an officer
of police when the victim Is walking about the
city. Yerily "truth is stranger than fiction."
An Irish Murderer Arrested In New York.
Tbe New York Hera'd of this morning says:
On Sunday morning, on the arrival of the
European steamer via Queenstown, Detectives
Eustace and Irving, of the Central Police Otlice,
boaroed her and took into custody an Irish
pus-pneer from Queenstown named Maloony,
who is supposed to have committed a murder
in Ireland. The arrest wa9 n ade upon informa
tion given by cable, but as the police officials
have mused to give tbe tacts until they com
municate with Irish othcials, it is probable that
the accused is innocent, lie represents that he
has no friends in this country but a sister,
wbose residence Is unknown. He is locked up
at Police Headquarters, and takes tbe arrest
very coolly, as he asserts investigation will bhow
that he ia not the party wanted in Ireland.

THE REV. DR. SOMEBODY-OR-OTHER
Makes a practice of giving half of Ms marriage
fees to his wife. Tbis generally works well,
and the amiable and accomplished lady Is very
fond of It.
Bat, on a recent occasion, the learned oler
gjman was bothered about making the divi
sion. A thoughtful bridegroom presented
him with a magnificent suit of ROCKIIILL &
WILSON'S CLOTHES; coat, vest, and panti.
The wife claimed her half. But how shoull
the lot be divided T Neither coat nor vest fit,
the body, and as to her wearing the panta
loons, it wouldn't do at all. So the clergyman
had to keep the whole fee himself; and ho said
that he never had a better fee in his life; aul
that he wished that in future, when folks cam
to get married, they would bring the fe i.i
like manner, from ROCKIIILL & WILSON'S.
Gentlemen who intend to get married, also
those who are already married, also you.o
men and boys who won't get married for semi
time to come, together with all other sorts au t
conditions, are invited to call and see the tre
mendous stock of elegant summer raiment,
now rapidly moving oil' from the
