FIRST EDITION THE DEMOCRATIC ROUP. glials of Distress Flj tag Orcr tho Democratic Hulk What shall lo Done by tho Great "Unterriflcd." Knthrrn View of Ilelmont and the World.'' The New York World has been for more than Ix months past opposed lo the National Demo cratic parly. Indeed, It is by no moaus certain that its managers and proprietors have bceu cordial In tbelr support of Democratic princi ples lor several years. It U true that tt has apparently advocated Democracy, but while doing so lias unmistakably shown Its hohtlllty to the leading Ideas and tenets of the party. We believe that it was originally started as a Eolitlco-rellglous, free soil paper, and that It us gone through a series of somewhat remark able changes until it passed, a few years since, under tbe ownership and control of a few bondholdlng arlstoorats In Wall street. It is known that its opposition to the radical ferty was excited by alleged personal wrongs Dlllcted upon Its principal editor by tue military authorities during the war. Having been incarcerated in prison by order of the military power for alleged treasonable utter ances. Its editor conceived an inveterate and malignant personal hostility to ail forms of military government or control. The World Iips added tenfold more to the strength of Grant than the Tribune and Timet oomolned. While the World was thus openly at work for the radical party, its chief owner, who is a lead ing member and, we believe, chairman of the National Central Executive Democratic Com mittee, has failed to take such action for the Buccess of tbe party as tbe con dition of the canvass required, and has here tofore been usual. Indeed, we have the very best anthorlty for saying that he suffered more than thirty days to elapse after Mr. Seymour's nomination, before he advised or consulted with that gentleman, although living in tbe same Htate, and but a few hours' ride from him. We have been reliably Informed, further, that when he did open communication with our candidate, that It was done with a demand that Mr. Seymour should promise to permit Wall street to name the Secretary of the Trea sury in case of his election. This Impertinent and disgraceful demand was promptly and forcibly repelled by Mr. Seymour, and henoe tbe Wot Id and Wall street have been since tnat time continually plotting for his defeat. Au. gusla (Ua.) Chronicle, Democratic. Mbnt tbe Fairest Iemocrutic Xewspn Ier Say a. Tbe proposition to withdraw Seymour and Blair, which has made all this disturbance, is really tbe cleverest thing done by any news paper since the Sun opened its great campaign in behalf of Chief Justice Chase and Progres sive Democracy. Tbe purpose of the World was too deep to be apprehended by ordinary politi cians, but it has been accomplished. Its results will appear in due time. If it fails. It can do no mischief. If it succeeds, the gain to tbe Democracy will be great, Tne situation of the p rty is desperate. To elect Seymour and Blair is impossible. Tbe utmost that can be hoped for is to Kave the Empire Hi ate and make John T. Hoffman Governor. When the World flrst began its startling artloles, the chance of doing this was poor. The moss of tbe Democracy were blindly devoted to an impracticable sentiment. They felt themselves bound to throw tbelr votes away upon Seymour. Tbe possibility of adding to the strength of tbe party by trading with Benubllcans, ou the basis of giving Democratic suffrages to Grant In exchange for Republican suffrages te be given to Hoffman, could not be fotced into their dull brains. It was necessary to shock them out of their propriety, to drive Into tbelr heads, as by a sledge-hammer, tbe tiuih that Seymour and Blair are utterly gone np. That Is now done. No senseless notion of fidelity to candidates who cannot he elected will now prevent the Democracy of New York from making regular exchanges In favor of can didates who can be. When the blockheads oome to understand that this great change has been wrought by these remarkable artilues of the World, thev will praise tbal Journal as thev now visit it with their condemnation.

How Stanton, Holt, and Dlx Saved Washington, We take from Draper's History of the Civil War the following extrsct referring lotbei.ctlont ol Stanton, Holt, and Dlx, then Democrats but now Republicans: During these dark days the fortunes of the He public depended on the firmness of tbe Attorney-General, Stan ion. W hen the Cabinet of Buchanan had beoome disorganized inrough the resignation of so many of Its members, there were three things of supreme importance to the nation to be done: 1st. To secure the Secretaryship of War; zu. 10 secure tne rsecretarysnip or tne Trea sury; 3d. To make Washington safe from seizure. As respects the War Office, when the defalca- tlon in the Department of the Interior was de tected, and Floyd's acceptances found In Diane of tbe stolen Indian bonds, it became impossi ble ior mat minister to continue any longer in tbe Cabinet. With the deepest reluctance was Buchanan constrained to admit Floyd's com plicity. Often was he heard bv bis friends to exclaim, "He cannot have done it; he cannot have done it!" When Floyd's letter of resigna tion was handed to him, foreseeing its lmpurt, his emotion could not be concealed. His trem bling hand set tbe crisp and crumpling sheet teartr and then further from his eyes, which seemed to reluse their office. With difficulty he deciphered the well-known but no w mazy and swimming characters. The fortunate star of the republic was for tbe moment in the axcendant. and at tbe earnest recommendation of the Attorney-General, Joseph Holt, a Ken- tucBian, wno was true to the nation, received the vacant appointment. Tbe peril or the republic would have been extreme bad the War Oillce and tbe Treasury passed Into the hands of men connected with the secession conspiracy. As respects the latter, on the resignation of Cobb, of Georgia (Decem ber 10), Mr. Thomas, who had been Commis sioner of Patents, was placed in his stead; but mere was reason to apprenena mat iiuchauan, regarding ibis as a temporary arrangement, might confer the office on some one who could not be trusted. The bitter altercations going on unceasingly around htm nerfect.lv unmanned blm. Thus, when news came of the movement Into Fort Sumter, he was sitilng at the ilrejide in a faded dressing gown, his slippers on his ftet. At once he turned ghastly pale. Wan outstretched hands and In a tremulous voice, be plteously Implored forbearance. Home of tne conspirators were in an adjoining room. For once, the financial embarrassments of the nation proved to be its salvation. The condi tion of the Treasury was deplorable. Tbe Gov ernment conld do notnlng without the aid of tbe capitalists of New Yors:. Again the influ ence of tbe Attorney-General came to tne publio succor. Instructed partly by their own patriotism, and parity oy nis clear information of tbe existence of Imminent danger, a deputa tion of those capitalists hastened to Washing ton to give the President distinctly to under stand that the Treasury Department must be placed in charge 01 one in whom they bad con fidence, and that IheyBhould not be satisfied unless John A. Dlx, of their State, was selected. Hereupon Buchanan gave him the appointment. A French writer (Lanse!) says: "Stanton. Holt, and Dlx saved Washington to the nation." And so, in truth, it was. The obliga tions of the republio to those three Ministers, and especially to the first, can never be repaid. nao tue Virginians succeeaeu in meir inten tion and seized tbe city, nothing could have prevented the Mexlcanlzaticn of the nation. rsp.i tne resolute action 01 ineso turee aeier- mined men was signally aided by tbe course of tbe Governor of Maryland. It was the plan of t he conspirators to use in tneir movements the legislatures 01 me noruer states, mens, mo Governor of Maryland, desiring to stoer a middle course, refused to call an extra session ol the Legislature, though vehemently urged to that Hlen. While be was dreaming that the great conflict might be composed through the mediation of a foreign ambassador, and when he did call his Legislature together, declaring to mem mat "ine saiety or Maryland lay lu maintaining a neutral position," events were rapidly marching on. Maryland, as a State, could not be brought to act. Virginia would not act without her. During this condition of indecision and impediment, tne three energetic Cabinet ministers fonnd means to make tbe capita of the nation secure. A HEADLESS BODY. Curious Mistakes as to Identity. We mentioned on Friday, says the Portland. Me.. Arous. that the body of a mn had been lound on the railway track on ilrown'j wharr, with the head dissevered aud lying several feet from It: and on Saturday we stated lbar the Coroner's Jury, so far, had failed to find anybody to identify the mutilated form, but would sit again for further evidence in the case on Satur day. The features of the man could hardly be mistaken, a peculiar nose, moustrou in size, of the hooked or Jewish form, would Identify him among thousands; 'Xbey met at v o'ciock on mat uay, ana two new witnesses appeared. One of them said, in effect: "I have seen the body, and I know the man. It Is John Hyne. He boarded with me several days two years ago. I am not mistaken. 1 saw mm tne day oeiore nis oeain. i cnargeu blm with being the man who owed me yet lor that board. I knew him by his drooping nose and general peculiar appearance. But he would not own up. I refer lo my book and tlnd the date and the name of the man, but he obsti nately denied." At this point the case assumed a clearness to the Jury which could hardly fall of a correct solution. It was poor John Ryne who bad undergone the guillotine with those ponderous insuameuis, the wheels of several railroad cars. At this moment, a Knoca came on ine noor oi the Jury room, and it was proclaimed there was a new witness, la the shape ol the wife of the unknown, witu two utile ouuuren. She said: "The man Is my huHband; his name is James Clancy, lie leu me aooui mree weens ago in Lowell, ana i aiu nut kuuw wumo no was. l came rrom buhlou una uwrumg uu mj way home.

Bnller, E;q., a prominent citizen of Philadelphia, died at his residence. No. 2019 Bpruce street, shortly after four o'clock this morning. For several months past Mr. Bailer had been suffering from a complication of diBeases.and was unable to altend to his busi ness by reason thereof. He was a native of the old city of Philadelphia, In whloh he was born In tbe year 1800, and had therefore attained his fifty-ninth year at the time of his death. Early In life Mr. Butler engaged in the busi ness of an engraver and printer of engravlnga( in which department of art his establishment at present located in Dr. Jayne's building, on Cbesnut street, below Third, attained a high and well-deserved reputation. The elaborate and artistic Illustrations of Dr. Kane's narra tives were fair specimens of tho work produoed by him. Several lnrge engravings published by him years ago, Including "Franklin at the Court of Versailles," "The Death-bed of John Wesley," and "Henry Clay in the United States Senate," ebtalued a great popularity and an immense circulation. When the system of internal taxation by means of revenue stamps was found to be necessary by the United States Government, Mr. Butler received the contract for tbelr execution, and for five years his estab llshmenthds been devoted to their manufao. ture. Mr. Butler took a prominent part In the poli tics of the city and country at large. Through out tbe war he was a zealous champion of the Union cause, as be had been, previous to It, an earnest opponent of the party which involved the nation In civil strife. In 1830 Mr. Butler was made the Republican candidate for Con gress In the First district of this State, consist ing at that time of the First, Second, Third Fourth, and Seventh wards, and a part of the Fifth ward of Philadelphia. At the Congres sional election of 1858, when there was an Antl Lecompton Democratlo candidate in the field, the regular Democratic candidate had a plu rality of only 331 votes, being at least 2000 votes in the minority. In ISfjO, when Mr. Butler was the Republican candidate, William E. Lehman was his Democratlo opponent. The vote stood, for Butler 0581, and for Lehman 8333, giv ing the former a majority oflOj. Lehman con tested the election on the ground of fraudulent returns. Governor Packer gave him the certl" ficate, notwithstanding Butler's prima facie majority, and he remained In undisturbed pos session of the seat. In 1861 Mr. Batter was again a candidate for Congress In the First district, as at present constituted, and was defeated by Samnel J. Randall by a majority of 2022. After that the deceased took.no particularly active part in politics, but he was known to the time ol his death as a true and faithful friend of the Republican party and its principles. His death will be widely lamented. STRONG-MINDED. A Countess, Knowing Her Rights, Main tains 'Ahem. " The curious performance of the lady in Eng land who claims to be the Countess of Derwent water, and has taken possession of Dilston Castle, have been more or less noted by Ameri can Journals. Tbe last mall brings the second chapter of the story: "On Thursday, Ootober 1, Mr. C. G. Grey, the receiver to the Greenwlcn Hospital estates, proceeded to the castle and nrged the 'Countess' to quit, which she obstinately refused to do. Tbe room whloh she baa seleolet bad beea decorateu wltn pictures, and a tarpaulin tent had been ereotod to protect t tie 'Countess' from the weather. Mr. Grey's orJi8 from tbe Ad miralty were, however, peremptory, and the men under his orders at once prooeeded to de molish these preparations. T ie eccentric claim ant thereupon took up a sword aud 'showed fight,' but was speedily disarmed. She then sat, herself down ou a cnair, and, refusing to leave voluntarily, was carried out, chulr aul all by four men, In a manner strongly suggestive of the filth of November. Mr. Grey had kindly srnt round bis carriage, with the Intention of placing It at tbe disposal of the 'Countess,' and bad even offered her the use of his own house for rest and relreshment. "Her ladyship, however, declined to aooept any hospitality at the hands of ner aggressor, and determined to encamp on the highway, wbtre she remained during Thursday ntguc, sheltered only by a piece of tarpaulin aud a military cloak, tbe goods that she bad placed in the ruins being deposited olose by, and watched over by her servants. Provision i have since been supplied lo her from several houses In the neUhborbood, and many friends from Blaydoa have visited her, and endeavored to persuade her to relinquish her project, without sucoess. The police nave been equally - unfortunate in their representations thai the placing of an encampment on a publio highway was a nulfcauce. The 'Countess' reailiy ad mitted tbe fact, but referred the officers to Mr. Grey lor a remedy, sue bad deeds in her pus session,, abe said, which unmistakably proved her right to be mistress of Dilston Castle, and It was her Impression that she must either be re turned to the castle or sent as a stale prisoner to the Tower of London; under these circum stances she must deollue to submit to any deal ings with tbe police. On Friday night she again slept In tbe open air, and on Saturday morning, as far as the 'obstruction' was conoerned, she bllll remained mistress of tbe situation." SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

Alluding to his Indianapolis speech, a Georgia paper says, "that In order to appease the squabbles of small men over BtnaU matters, Frank Blair comes forward like a demi god." Like a demijohn is what the paper means. Tbe Gallopolls (Ohio) Journal says: 'A pri vate letter received trom a Kenlucklan by a gentleman says, 'Very many people here are buying Conlederato bonds at ten cents on the dollar, In anticipation of the election of Sey mour and Blair, in whloh event they believe tbe bonds will be at pur, or at least of a value approacblng par.' " A firm in Bridgeport, Connectlcnt, has re ceived an order for one hundred and twenty five thousand Grant and Colfax badges. This is tbe second order of tbe kind within four weeks, tbe previous one for a like number. Tbe probabilities are that the Republicans of Missouri will carry tbe First Congressional District by GOO, tbe second by 7000. the third by a small majority, tbe fonrth by 5000, the fifth by 4000; tbe seventh by 8000.

It says: "If the contest is to be continued, some con clusive action, which will be recognized by the Democratlo and conservative voters throughout the country, should be at once forthcoming In such lorin as will give It full authority. The change. If made, must be thorough, and the demand for that change ls so general as to re quire the Immediate attention of those who have the authority to speak to tbe Democratlo and conservative voters of the country. Two weeks yet remain for action. Something deci sive snould be done, and at once not in tbe form of individual opinion, but in order to give force to whatever may be determined upon. Tbe National Democratlo Committee should be convened, and tbelr voice beard In this crisis.

General Blair left for Illinois this evening to fill engagements at different points.

Gentlemen: tn reply to your letter of the 8th instant, request ing to know if I have declared publicly my determination of supporting the nominees ol tbe Republican party (Oraut and Colfax) for Ptesldent and Vice-President of the United States, I answer emphatically Yes; and although still professing myself a Democrat, I go further, and say that I shall Btipport every nominee of that party who honestly desires to aid General Grant in bis efforts to restore '-peace" to the Union, now rendered, I hope, lorever indis soluble. The time has come when we must look things In tbe faoe practically. Since tbe last Presidential contest, the Democratic party has ceased to "teach by example." With the failure to elect MoCieilan lu 1864, lis life has been continually spastnodls, and thls:lastetibrt at.nallonai organization In dicates the final death-throe. Ihe two great questions of slavery and secession are now dead beyond tbe possibility of resurrection, but there remains, as the "last button" on the threadbare coat of the Coufoderaoy, the doc trine of repudiation. This is the main Usueof tbe present contest. It is. in fact, the only hope that remains to tbe enemies of the coumry, by which they expect to relight the fires of revolu tion; not by creating, as In the first instance, a war between seeltons, but a bloody, dishonorable, and unceasing strife among classes. The appeal is therefore mude by tbe self-constituted leaders of the old Democratic party to array capital against labor, and to provoke iucuraole disturbance between tbe rich and the poor. If this election shall settle finally the question that the Goverumeut of the United Slates holds to the doctrine that the publio faith, once plighted, binds the wuole nation to its redemption, then we shall have disponed of the only elemeut that threatens the overthrow of national peace. But there will re main for us, after its settlement, as fiithful citizens, and as old Democrats, tbe dutv to watch for a falthfnl administration of the Gov ernment. This will give us enough to do, aud always constitute a nucleus around which cm cluster the controlling forces of party organization. Accepting, therefore, Grant as tbe embodiment, of ibis Idea, wnlcli is to restore internal peace and flnanolal pros perity to the country, let us throw oir the shackles of mere parly distinction, and unite not only in securing bis eleotion to the Presi dency, hut in giving strength to hU administra tion. Upon no people who have sought refuge in tblscountry, bave Ihe manacles of party been to closely fastened as upon tbe Irish (whom, I am proud to say, were ray ancestors). Coming here in the bey-day of Democratlo supremacy, tbey have adhered with religious attachment to tbe teachings of that pant; bnt tbe nour has oome when they should declare themselves free from its slavery, and prove in peace what tney have shown in war. During tbe siege at VIckRburg I had the bnnor of serving under General Grant, and tbe vicissitudes of that glorious campaign brouot me in frequent contact with him. There I learned to appreciate his rare intelligence, his wise reticence, his unflinching courage, and his constant self-sacrifice. It would be ungrateful in me now, to forget one who inculcated so many salutary examples. With many thanks or your kind expressions and your remem brance of me, I remain, very respectfully, your .obedient servant, J. McLrod Murphy. Messrs. H. E. Hudson, P. D. lieecher, Chair man, etc. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUARTER 8ESSI0N9-Jude Lullow.
