The I'onnc client Town Elect ions -The Drift
of the Popular l ido.
From the N. Y, lltraid.
The returns of the lata town eleotlons in
Connecticut show, In tbe Bumming tip, a hani
eome Republican majority on the aggregate
popular vote. In New Uaven alone the Demo
cratic majority o( two thousand two hundred
and fifty-three of last April has dwindled
down to a majority of nine hundred and thirty
one, and the Democrats are generally the losers
In the strong RepuMloan towns and in the
strong Democratic townB. The arithmetician
of the special organ of our Democratio Man
hattan Club of "bloated bondholders" gires
tis an interesting explanation of these losses,
lie says that in the towns where the Democrats
were largely in the minority they allowed
these recent eleotions to go by default, and
that In other towns, where the Democracy were
sure of a majority, they made no effort to
bring out their full vote, and that thus they
were the losers in both cases. Bat, to cut
short the argument, this aforesaid arithmeti
cian, who figured out great Demooratio gains in
a Republican majority of twenty thousand in
the late Maine election, flatly tells us that
these Connecticut town elections are of "no
ort of consequence." This will not do. We
think they are very, very significant, and our
reasons for this opinion may be brieily stated.
In the Presidential year, and especially in
the teat of the contest, State elections,
county, city, and town eleotions, are all con
trolled by the Presidential issue. Thus, it was
Grant against Seymour in the September State
leotions in Vermont and Maine, and both
parties went into those eleotions upon that
Idea. The result in eaoh of those States was
accordingly accepted as a pretty fair indication
of the drift of the popular tide, not only in
Vermont and Maine, but throughout the
States identified with the cause of General
Grant against the Rebellion. The results of
these little town eleotions in Conneotiout are
Bubjeot to the same interpretation. The De
mooratio leaders and managers understood,
too, the importance to their Presidential ticket
of holding Connecticut in these town elections,
but their followers failed to come up to the
work. General apathy has evidently fallen
upon them. The energy and enthusiasm
which marked their contest for Governor of
last April have died out, and so they have
permitted these October town eleotions to go
by default. But why f It is because of the
blunders of the Demooratio National Conven
tion of July in regard to both the party tioket
and platform for the Presidency.
'With the announce ment of Seymour as the
Demooratio candidate on Wade Hampton's
revolutionary platform, the popular reaction
Whioh in 18l7 set in against the radicals was
arrested, and the popular Union elements of
the North which had rallied around the banner
of Lincoln in lStJ4, against the Demooratio
Chioago pronunciamienlo that the war was a
failure, began to rally again around the banner
of Grant. All our political eleotions since held,
from Maine to New Mexico and from Colorado
to Connecticut, tell the same story, and we
expect that from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, and Nebraska the popular verdict en
Tuesday next will settle the question of the
succession.
The Campaign in Pennsylvania.
From the N. Y. World.
The canvass in the Keystone State is per
haps the warmest ever known. Both parties
appreciate the prodigious moral effect of the
result, and both are exerting themselves with
a strenuous energy corresponding to their
estimate of the influenoe of victory on the
Presidential election. We learn from well
informed sources that the suooess of the
Demooratio ticket is so well assured that the
radicals are in despair, and are resorting to
the most desperate tricks. The Philadelphia
police are accomplices in all kinds of dis
graceful cheats. In the extra "assessments,"
aB they are called, for revising the poll lists,
in a ward where both the "assessors" were
Republicans, the po'ioe guarded the doors
and permitted only Republican voters to
enter. A Democrat who, by some means,
found his way In was hustled out by the
police in a style that could not have been
outdone if they had been under the
control of our Superintendent Kennedy. In
another case they arrested a drunken man
named Devine, pretending to have found
upon his person a large number of fraudu
lent naturalization papers. The radioals
raised a great howl, but it soon appeared
that those false papers had been got np by
rogues of their own party, and given to the
Republican police to have this use made of
them.
The Soldiers' Convention at Philadelphia
last week, got np by the Republicans at a
great outlay of money, recoiled against them
in a manner they did not count on. While
they were parading the streets aud making a
noisy show, the Democrats were at work with
quiet vigilance hunting np voters that had
not been registered, so that in the extra as
sessment we have put on two names to their
one., in spite of the activity of the police in
some of the wardd. On Friday the Telegraph,
a Loyal League organ, in an article headed
"The City in Danger," said, "There is great
danger that th Republicans will not carry
the City of Philadelphia on next Tuesday
week. There is at present a strong 'pos
sibility that we will be defeated." The
Morning Pott, a radical organ, came out
the next morning with an article in the gams
despondent strain. These notes of alarm
close on the heels of the showy parade of the
" "Bojs in Blue" destroyed whatever effeot
that gathering might have had. Attorney
General Brewster is reported to have
said that, leaving out Philadelphia, the
Republicans would carry the State by 8000
majority. Their expectations being at that
low. ebb, the Republicans are oertain to be
badly whipped In 18GG, with a full vote,
Geary was elected Governor by a majority of
17,178. - Last year the Democrats oamed tbe
State by 912, but tbe aggregate vote was 02,800
less than in the preceding year, uovernor
Bigler thinks our majority in the State next
week will reaoh 20,000; but some good judges
tuiuK this a sanguine estimate. For our part,
we shall be well satisfied if the Democrats
carry the State by a majority of 6000, although
few Democrats in the State are willing to
accept anything less than 10,000. We Sap
pose that at least 700,000 votes will be polled
In the State, so that with a majority of 10,000
the contest would be very close. Oar ability
to reach that ngure depends upon vigorous
work for the few remaining days. We are
certain to carry the city of Philadelphia by a
ma oritv of from 30UU to ouuu, wuicu insures
lis the State even if the vote elsewhere should
be more evenly divided than there Is any pre
aent reason to fear.
We shall make great gainB of Congressmen
carrying twelve at least of the twenty-four
riiatri.itg. instead or the six we carried in iiu.
Those respecting whioh our friends entertain
no doubt are tne rirst, imru, nu, oixiu,
liigbtb, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Fifteenth,
Sixteenth. Seventeenth, and Twenty-first.
the Second, Florence is making a gallant fight,
not without hope i of overcooking the Rnub-
lioan majority of 2264 ia the last lection. -
The Thirteenth is doubtful. In 1806 the Re
publicans carried it by 1287, and in 18G7 by
605 a loss of ene-half. We hope to dip off
the remaining half.
Ou the whole, the prospeot in Pennsylvania
is encouraging enough to justify the sanguine
confidence of our friends. After next week
our gains ' will not cost us so tnuoh hard
fighting.
The Fight in the Fifth.
From the Bottom Post. "
Mr. Dana has the floor. General Butler
neither stands alone nor runs alone. Ills
offer of a tempting reward, so strictly in keep
ing with his usual deteotive habit, has not
sufficed to frighten back dissentient radioals to
their corners and their holes. The sword of
the commander has loBt . its edge, and been
blunted at its point. A David has stepped
forth with his little sling, and declares that he
is ready to smite this modern Goliath in the
very centre of his forefront. That the new
candidate lor radical honors in the Fifth Dis
trict thinks this work a big one, is easily dis
coverable frem the turn of his metaphors.
He likens his opponents to whole regiments of
British red-coats, marohing up the hill. lie
snatches laurels from the very defeat he fears,
by comparing himself to the revolutionary
yeomen under Presoott and Pntnam. He
means to make a noisy fight of it, for he tells
bs so; but he has a mortal dread of what may
happen when the regular opponent gets baok
home, for his phrases rattle together in the
mouth that speaks them.
Tbe Fifth District wears an interesting look.
A great advance has been made into the radical
sentiment there, wnen a pari oi tue leaders
confess to a sense of indignation at being called
"rebels" and "traitors." That they "can't
abear." It is all very nice to hurl that sized
epithet at honest Demoorats and conservatives,
including the brave men who went to the field
to vindicate their faith in constitutional gov
ernment; but it hurts their heads dreadfully,
when it is aimed so as to hit square at home.
They stood by and heard Butler call others by
those outrageous names, and their gorge did
not tlse an inch; but when they feel his
boomerang whizzing about their own ears,
they throw up their arms and cll on their fellow-citizens
of every conceivable persuasion
to come quick to their rescue. They ought to
show themselves better philosophers. They
should know that those who are always
prompt to administer the hemlook ought to
have the fortitude to swallow their own dose
without a wry face or a groan. Who would
have thought that Butler was made a doctor
that he might give suoh medicine as this f
It is laughable to see them arraign him for
beiDg false to the Chicago platform in the
matter of the finances. How is Senator Mor
ton ? How was Thaddeus Stevens ? How is
Senator Sherman f And how are a handful
more of radical leaders on this identioal sub
ject T As for charging him with "repud'a
tion" because he moved to tax the inoome of
all Government bonds ten per cent., let them
consider that he was supported in it by the
vote of a majority of his party in the House
of Representatives; let them remember that
the address of the radical State Central Com
mittee was written by one who, in a letter to
the Springfield Hepvblican, hooted at this
nightmare of "repudiation," aud said that
the people of New England were no longer to
be frightened by its name. J hey nave hereto
fore found it convenient to call only Demo
crats repudiators, as well as Rebels; now let
them take the title home to their own bosoms,
and make the most they can out of the fellow
ship.
When Bombaslei returns from bis "soger-
ing" in Pennsylvania, there will be revived
animation among the dry bones of the Fifth
district. We would Buggest to the friends
of Mr. Dana that there is one argument left
which they appear not to have thought to use
against Ueneral lsatler, viz., that lie h not a
resident of the distriot. Governor Bui'ock's
certificate, to be sure, is worth something
more than the sealing-wax that gives it offloial
authority, bnt that is an old affair now; and
his Excellency is going down in the West
But as between the two wines of the radioal
army in the valiant Fifth there is an open
ing for a sound conservative candidate, a
real resident, of whose invitation the people
may now successfully avail themselves. It
would be a full compensation, in the publio
mind, for Butler's defeat (Dana expeots to be
defeated himself) if a good Democrat could
be sent to Congress to faithfully represent
the interests of tbe distriot ana the senti
ment of the people on constitutional govern
ment.
More Eesnlts of Democratic Teachings.
From the IT. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The official investigation of the Camilla
(Ga.) massacre has hardly been oompleted
beiore we are called upon to ohroniole another
bloody butchery at Opelousas, the capital of
St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. It was another
deliberate preoonoerted movement to crush
out Unionism in that region, and restore
Rebel supremacy. Aooording to the New
Orleans bulletin, a virulent Demooratio sheet,
one hundred Unionists were killed and fifty
wounded, whereas only four Democrats were
wounded, and noue killed. The Crescent,
another Demooratio sheet, is confident that
radicalism is done for in St. Landry Parish, at
least lor tais r residential campaign.
Mr. Vidal, member of Congress from Loui
siana, established some time sinoe at bt. Lan
dry, the trogress, a Republican paper. It has
been edited by Mr. Bentley, who likewise
teaches a school at that place. On Monday last
a squad of Rebels Sbt upon Mr. Bent ley, in the
presence of his pupils, and proceeded to chas
tise him. His friends gathered to his resoue.
He, however, urged them to disperse to their
homes, assuring them that he should sue out
warrants for the arrest of the ruffians who had
set npon him. Meanwhile, the ex-Confederates
began to assemble in large numbers, with arms,
and soon beoame an uncontrollable mob, thirst
ing for blood. 1 hey proceeded to the Progress
ilioe, threw the type aud press into the
river, and seizing the French editor, Mr.
Durand, took him to a neighboring wood,
where he was lynched. . The foreman of the
printing department was compelled to flee for
safety. Now began a cold-blooded, heartless
butchery. The fiends scattered through the
town and neighboring plantations, shooting as
they went, until one hundred and fifty blacks
fell viotims to their demoniao fury. The latter
appear to have made no resistance, as only
four of their persecutors were wounded. Suoh,
in brief, are the details of this horrid affair,
the acoonnts of the New Orleans LulUtin and
Republican substantially agreeing. The fleeing
foreman of the printing office has arrived iu
New Orleans, and states that the Rebels have
determined to kill or drive out all the
Unionists, white or black, from the Opelousas
Distriot. The New Orleans Times (Democrat),
ot a late date, has an account of an affair at
Bhreveport, which resulted in the death of
fifteen Unionists and three Rebels. The other
day a party of armed men surrounded the
bouse of Roderick Hill, a Republican, resldiug
at Aehpole, Robeson oounnty, N. C, and shot
to death a young man, a Republican, while in
the act of being married to Mr. Hill's daughter.
The bride was likewise Beiioualy injured.- .
These and other similar outrages dally oo
curring throughout the late Confederaoy in
dicate that the spirit of rebellion has onoe
more booome fairly rampant. The eaohins
of the Democracy of to-day are having, their
natural c-fleot. The dire spirit whioh pervaded
aud controlled the Tammany Convention has
permeated the entire late Confederacy, from
North Carolina to Arkansas, and is bringing
forth fruits in abundanoe. Th la.e Confede
rates accepted the platform and temper of
that body as an Invitation to begin the work of
anarchy, and they have not been slow to act
upon it. Tammany warmed into life all the
smouldering elements of the Rebellion. Fresh
from its counsels, Vance, Hampton, Forrest,
tt al , proceeded southward to herald the glad
tidings that the Demooratio party was to
secure for them all the objeots for which they
bad fought. The people have believed this.
Misled by their publio men, they have be
lieved that tbe Demooratio party was certain
of success, and would achieve all it promised
to do. They have belie ved'th at General Blair's
programme would be carried out, and so im
patient have they been to carry on the work
that they have not been able to wait until the
Demooratio party was duly installed in power.
We have in these Camilla and Opelousas
butcheries a foretaste of the scenes whioh
would transpire through the late Confederaoy
were Seymour and Blair to be successful at
the polls. The announcement of their eleo
tion would be the signal for inaugurating a
war upon the Unionists iriespeotive of color.
The Mobile Register, Tuscaloosa Monitor, Mont
gomery Mail, Mobile Telegraph, and other
exponents of Southern opinion, have already
assured us that when that day comes the
"carpet-baggers" will have to travel forth
with, and the blacks follow after them unless
they mend their ways. Said the Uioumond
Examiner, the other day: "They (the whites)
will demonstrate their superiority to the negro
raoe, in a manner that will make the naked
savages of Ethiopia, for centuries to come,
howl with horror at the name of a Southern
white man."
If now, with an impending eleotton, anl
when the World and Richmond Whig, warned
by Vermont ana Maine, are counselling mode
ration, these unrepentant Rebels indulge in
suoh pastimes, what might we not expect in
tne event or aeymour and liiair's suooess r
Happily, however, no suoh calamity awaits
the country. The election of General Grant
ill put an end to all this Rebel outrage and
wrong. Pardoned Confederates who attempted
to overthrow the Government will learn that
those who stood by that Government have
rights they must and shall respeot. They
will be made to learn that freedom of speech
must and shall prevail from the Potomao to
the Rio Grande; that we must and shall have
peace in fact as well as in name.
Meanwhile the Washington authorities
should hasten to aid those of Louisiana in
making a thorough examination into this last
butchery, and fixing the responsibility where
it belongs.
The New lfebellion.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
There was, some years ago. in India, a tribe
since put down by the strong hand of the Gov
ernment. The hereditary business of this
Oriental Ku-KIux Elan was homicide, and rob
bery was its constant reoreation. It waylaid
unsuspecting travellers, and having knocked
them on the head, or strangled or stabbed
them, it concluded by rilling their carpet-bags.
These pleasing professors of the fine art of
murder, although extremely enthnsiastio, and
even fanatically devoted to their trade, did
not publish a newspaper; and In this respeot
the thugs of Alabama are rather in advance
of their Eastern prototypes, being, indeed, the
first organization of banded murderers in the
world which has arrived at the dignity of
an organ. The Tuscaloosa (Ala ) Monitor
(R. Randolph, editor) is a curiosity in its
way, and is just the journal whioh the East
em Thugs would have printed, if they had
printed any journal at all. We must pre
mise of this agreeable sheet that it proudly
bears tne name or ttlair and beymour at
the" head of its homioidal and incendiary
columns. It openly avows that should
these persons be elected to the plaoes for
which they have been nominated by the
"Demooratio" Convention, the work of whole
sale lynching at the South will begin. In
order that there may be no mistake about the
methods to be employed (as the editor is
pleased to say) "on the Fourth of Maroh, I860,'
the Monitor gives a rude wood engraving in
whioh two "carpet-baggers" are represented
suspended by the neck from a tree, with the
legend, "Uang, ours, hang I" The genial
Randolph adds: "Tbe.nnpreoedented reaction
is moving onward with the swiftness of a velo
cipede, with the violenoe of a tornado, with
the orash of an avalanche, sweeping negro ism
from the face of the earth. The happy day of
recKoning wun these white-cuticle sooundrels
approacheth rapidly. Each and every one
who has so anblushingly essayed to lower the
Cauoasian to a degree even beneath the Afrioan
raoe, will be regarded as hostis sui generis, and
ue aean wun accordingly, u round Hereabout
when the time i3 ripe for aotion." The Monitor
is good enough to give us a particular deaorip
uuu vi tue muuus operauat, as iuiws:
"We candidly belleve'rbat thrftotnre. given

a feast for ant hropophugous vermin.
P. 8. It will be seen that there Is room left
on the limb for the suHpenslou of any bad Grant
negro who may be found at the propitious
moment."
After this exhilarating de3oription, whioh is
very much aided by the wood-out above men
tioned, the Monitor oalls the publio attention
to "a scalawag justice of the peace named A.
U. Sealy, ot Hickman's Beat," who has "dis
charged a rasoally negro from custody," and
"suggests that Sealy and Jack (the negro dis
charged) be turned over to the mercies of a
Ku-Klux Kian, or some other good society pro
tectorate." This mild hint to a band of bravos
to commit only a couple of murders comes, it
must be remembered, from a sheet enthusi
astically devoted to the election of Horatio
Seymour, and which proposes after his inau
guration, on the 4th of March prox., to hang
without judge or Jury all Republicans, Includ
ing "any bad Grant negro who nicy be found
at the propitious moment."
In order to prove that these ruffians are
perfeotly capable of executing the atrooities
which they recommend in a publio journal, it
ia enough to sbow, by their own exultant oou
fesBlons, that they have already executed the
like. Thus the Monitor says: "Five noto
riously bad negroes were found swinging by
the necks to limbs in the woods of Colbert
county, a few days sinoe. They had bsen
guilty of making threats against the whites."
If threats were a capital offense, pray how
long would "R. Randolph, Editor," escape
strangulation f Here is another specimen of
tne Monitor's persuasive ways:

This is the style in whioh this unflinching
supporter of Blair and beymour proposes to
inangnrate a peace after the election of those
worthy gentlemen. It will be Indeed a peaoe
which surpasseth all understanding.
it appears mat this Alabama naner. whioh
is ready to hang "any Grant negro who may
be fonnd at the propitious moment," has not
the least objeotion to Blair and Seymour
negroes, as witness the following affectionate
advertisement printed in its columns:

This is an old way of "sweeping negroism
from off the faoe of the earth," whioh, in
another place, R. Randolph, editor, threatens
to do "with the swiftness of a velocipede aud
with the violenoe of a tornado." These slight
inconsistencies occur in the very same issue.
In one part of the paper the negro is invited
to come to a Seymour barbecue, and to par
take Ireely of roast pig and whisky; and
cheek by jowl with this hospitable overture is
a threat to sweep all blaoks "from off the faoe
of the earth." This is to welcome the coming
and speed the parting guest with a vengeance.
In one column the Monitor says: "Weoontend
that white men must rule America; and
whilst willing to have negroes protected from
cruelty and injustice, we at the same time are
not willing to place them on a footing, politi
cal or sooial, with the descendants of Adam."
In another column, "everybody is invited,
both black and white," to attend a Blair and
Seymour barbeoue I Unfortunately, "the five
negroes" who were hnng in Colbert county,
"for making threats against the whltes,"were
not able to be present at the Tusoaloosa bar
becue to swell the exultant, heaven-reaohlng
shout for Blair and Seymour. The prudent
artisan named in the following paragraph from
the Monitor was no doubt present, and "hol
lered" for Blair and Seymour enthusiastically:
"Jimmy Norbis Makes the prettiest and
best boot we ever saw. He goes for tbe Bey
mour and Blair tioket, and Is every way worthy
oi patronage."
We do not know that it is necessary to
give any further extracts from this lovely and
amiable Seymour publication, although we
might continue them at considerable length
from the material before us. The World, on
tne ovitx ultimo, was Kind enonen to critioize.
with its usual suavity, what it was pleased to
call tne inoune's "manufacture of Rebel
outrages," and to laugh at our "dreadful
etories of murder and rebellion," which it
termed "contributions to popular misinforms
tion." With the view of promoting the daily
recreations ui vuia laueuoua journal, we nave
ventured npon tne ioregoing extracts from a
Southern newspaper devoted to the cause of
Mr. Seymour. We trust that we have thus
improved npon the World's advioe to us, "to
go back to our own files, and reproduce the
Kansas bloody shirts of lsab." The Tusoa
loosa Monitor (Blair and Seymour) must be
much better authority than the Tribune can
pretend to be in the office of the World.
