FBIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1809.
THE DEMAND FOR A NEW LEGIS
LATIVE TICKET.
The demand for the removal of the obnoxious
renominated legislators from the Republican
ticket has been greatly strengthened by the
lnte action of the Democracy. No measure
would add more to the strength of the Repub
lican party than the ejection from its ranks
of Stokes, Davis, Bunn, Adnire, Cloud, and
Hong. It is impossible to rally the masses
cheerfully to the support of a ticket embrac
ing such names, when the fact is well under
stood that they seek power only for the pur
pose of profiting by new betrayals of their
constituents. If party discipline is to be
strictly and stringontly enforced, it should
have ' its court-martials as well
as its orders exacting .implicit obe
dience, and under any wcll-orgnnized court
martial system those candidates could be
indicted, tried, and convicted of such miscon
duct at the last session of the Legislature as
would forever disqualify them from obtaining
honorable partisan distinction. If there are
any'possible means of inducing them to retire,
they should be employed; if they can be de
posed or driven from the tickets, they should
be unceremoniously stricken off. But if
these expedients fail, the Republicans should
take good care to defeat them by voting for
their opponents. Faithless representatives
do no possible good to a party; they only reflect
back disgrace upon the men who elect them;
and while they plunder their constituents and
the State, they at the same time bring reproach
npon their supporters. If we must send men
to Harrisburg only to revel in corruption, it is
Letter for the Republicans to permit Demo
crats to monopolize such infamy; and they
can commit no graver error than to sanction
by their votes the re-election of candidates
who are irretrievably disgraced by tainted
records.
DEMOCRATIC CITY PROGRAMME.
It is now well understood in political circles
that the new Democratic ticket was formed in
the manner we announced yesterday; that is,
each retiring candidate named his successor.
Instead of the respectables gaining a clear
victory over the roughs, they formed a coali
tion for mutual advantage. The roughs,
6eeing that their prospects of success were
perfectly desperate, withdrew to place more
reditablo proxies or representatives on the
course. The contest now is to assume an
aspect similar to that of a trotting match or a
horse race. .The original nominees, instead
of being distanced on the track themselves,
have a faint hope of winning through the
good running qualities of their substitutes;
and the new programme may be fairly stated,
in something like the language of the turf, as
follows:
FOR TIIE TRASURY SWEEPSTAKES,
S. Gross Fry names William C. Patterson.
FOR THE CITY COMMISSIONER'S PERQUISITES,
Charles 15. Duncan names John R. t'oxe.
FOR THE HEAVY RECORDER OF DEEDS PLATE,
C. M. Hurley names John G. Brenner.
FOR THE PICKINGS OF TUB I'ROTIIONOTARY,
William F. Schelble names Washlngto T. Jackson.
TOR THE CRUMBS OF THE QUARTER BEmIONS CLERK
SHIP, John P. Ahem names David W. Sellers.
FOR THE PROFITS OF THE CORONER,
James Stewart names Joseph M. Helehard.
The pretense that the Executive Coinuiitteo
nominated the new ticket was only a fiction.
They simply ratified and gave a sort of official
Sanction to the selections of the retiring can
didates, who, instead of being animated by a
, noble and disinterested spirit of self-sacrifice,
acted on the sordid but common-sense maxim
that "half a loaf is better than no bread." It
remains to be seen how the people will relish
the new bargain. It has at least the charm of
novelty, for heretofore no set of partisan
leaders were sufficiently audacious to form
sueu a glaring compact. It is usually left f or
emperors and kings to nominate their succes
sors, and since Johnny Ahern and his com
peers have acquired this power, if the party
submits to their dictation, they may well
boast that they are its absolute masters.
THE PENSION A GENTS.
A Washington telegram states that an appeal
is about to be made from the decision of a
commissioner justifying the Government
pension agents of Philadelphia in a refusal to
pay to attorneys the amount due to pensioners.
We are not apprized of the details of this
particular controversy, but it apparently in
volves, to some extent, a principle of no little
importance. The nation appropriates a large
sum annually to wounded soldiers, or the
dependent fumilies of the martyrs of the war,
and every possible precaution should bo taken
to insure the reception of this money by the
persons for whom it is really intended. Ex
tortiouate agents and avaricious attorneys
have absorbed by far too large
a pol'IlOU OI me legacies oi mtuuiou ueiues
and the generous provision for the support of
bereaved widows and orphans.
It is matter of record that thousands of
Union soldiers, especially those enlisted in
the South, have been cheated out of the
whole amount of their bounties, and even in
the North a fearful aggregate of tolls have
been extracted on various pretences from
the Government pensions. The further at
torneys are thrown into the background in
these transactions, the better will it be for the
Government and the legititimate objects of
its bounty. Ia spite of all
that has been done by State agents, by the
Sanitary Commission, and by various public
pfUcialfj to protect the soldiers, uianyhave
THE DAlLg EVEN1M0 TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. ililDAY,
become the prey of the hungry sharks who
are perpetually seeking opportunities to on
rich themselves at the exnense of the tax
payers on the one hand and the defenders of
tne country on the other. Every step which
restricts such operations will receive the cor
dial approval of the country, while every
facility granted to those who trade upon the
sorrows and sufferings of the Union soldiers
is sure to be used for discreditable and dis
honest purposes.
WOMAN AS a' POLI1ICIAN.
The Woman's Rights movement, as perverted
by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton, Anna E. Dickinson, George Francis
Train, Theodore Tilton, and the rest of the
crazy agitators of the day, has found a deter
mined and formidable opponent in Dr. Horace
Bushnell, one of the most eminent divines of
the country. While he believes that the con
dition of the workingwomen should be
materially bettered, he does not look with
much favor upon the female suffrage project.
Dr. Bushnell quotes, with apparent satisfac
tion, an incident which will not go far towards
reconciling the masculine portion of humanity
to the scheme. It is cenerallv known that
the maids and matrons of New Jersey, in
consequence of the ambiguity of the original
Constitution of the State, were suffered on
several occasions to deposit their votes. On .
one occasion they voted "not only once, but
as often as by change of dress or complicity
of the inspectors they might be able to repeat
the process ! " Here is a fine specimen of 'the
beauty and sentiment, the bloom and sweet
ness of womanhood,' which inspired the
pen of the great Quaker poet when he
espoused the cause of the disfranchised sex.
Just think of it for a moment, men and
brethren, especially ye who have enlisted
with us in the crusade against ballot-box
stuffing and all the other villainies by which
the will of the people is now perverted.
One of McMullin's patriotic crowd marches
up to the polls before he has taken his early
morning bitters, and votes the straight ticket.
After the bitters, he persuades some genial
and congenial companion to knock a dent in
bis hat, and thus disguised presents another
ballot and defies identification. Then an
other draught, another dent, and another bal
lot; and so on through the day, until sunset
winds up the process. This is bad enough,
of a verity: but it is mere child's play in com
parison with the rogery of those naughty
Jersey women. A Democratic politician's
hat is capable of bearing the impress
of a multitude of dents, but a woman's
dress of the present day has
the capacity of infinity for sustaining discerni
ble modification. "The beauty and sentiment,
the bloom and Bweetness of womanhood," are
very good things in their way and in their place;
but it is possible, as history has recorded, to
have a little too much of them. If the placing
of the ballot in the hands of our wives and
sisters is to be followed by the perpetration
of such unblushing frauds as are portended,
it would be better for us to hang millstones
about our necks and be swamped at once,
than thus to place our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor at the mercy of such
unscrupulous demagogues.
A HORTICULTURAL GENIUS.
THiiitE is a genius on the committee of the
Horticultural Society who ought to be looked
nfter. The excitement of getting up the ex
hibition has been too much for him, and his
wits have apparently run to seed. His atten
tion, td the press, in particular, have been of a
rather overpowering description, and he has
favored us with a collection of facetijo, to be
worked into our remarks upon the exhibition
as occasion may require, but which w"e much
prefer should bo credited to their proper
owner. We don't wish to use any borrowed
thunder, and we must therefore decline to use
as our own any of the hints and suggestions
which have been so kindly furnished. These
choice specimens of bucolic humor, however,
must not be allowed to pass into oblivion
unrecorded, and we therefore give the fol
lowing sample of what we were expected to
say on behalf of the committee about the
banquet this evening:
"Editors Please Notice. It is a secret as ytt but it
is whispered about, pray don't say we told you, that
the milliliters of the Horticultural Keception Ban
quet have such an excess of ntiinillcent fruit that
they Intend to Kive to every lady, ut least, at the
close of the feast to-morrow evening, a two-quart
basket of hue specimen fruit, foreign grapes, etc., to
carry home to Aunt Sarah and her unfortunate sis
ters,' who must be prevented from attending by the
impossibility of providing tickets, or space, for all."
There is a certain gay and festiveness about
the above that we find particularly delightful.
The allusion to "Aunt Sarah" is particularly
fine, and there is an ingenuousness and total
disregard for conventionalities about the
whole affair that in a measure excites our ad
miration. The compassionate forethought
that suggested tho idea of enlivening the
members of the press with a little original
humor cannot be too highly commended, and
we only hope that the author of the following
has done himself no mortal injury:
UINTS AND MKKiKSTlONH TO EDITOR AND REPORTERS,
l-HOM THE COMMITTEE ON ENTERTAINMENT CTIIE
BANQUET).
"The committee would observe, that the Indies are
anxious to know what style of dress will be appro
priate to the evening receptiou or l lie Horticultural
Society. We are able to stale, oil Hie authority of
the Committee on Kutenniiiiuent, that for ladles,
'Evening Concert Walking Dress' will be the thing,
opera cloaks mid hats, and head-dresses will be ap
propriate, but no 'trains.'
"The committee would again observe that this will
lie essentially a promenade party, with a collation
not a banquet, in the proper sense of that term
with the company seated at table. No extended pro
vision will be made for shawls, cloaks, etc.
"Therefore, the committee suggest that, for gen
tlemen, the only article of dress to be specially con
sidered is the hat. if it is a stove-pipe, 'what will
he do with it ?'
"Tho committee again suggest that the most con
venient head-gear for genllemeu on this occasion
will be a soft-shell hat (on the half-shell) or an opera
cap, silk or linen and such like.
"The committee would also hint that the chance
of llnding aa individual srove-pipe, in a chaotic pile
of five hundred huts (more or lum In the hat room
(as fellows know who have been there), is about as
small as the chance of llnding a grain of hay-seed In a
bushel of Bethlehem buckwheat.
"The committee respectfully say that Jenkins is
particularly requested not to describe auv of the
ladies' dresses, for they don't like It. Hut, wo fenr
that Jenkins will do It. for all that.
"II. S There la only one Jenkins in Philadelphia,
and he has been voted out of the 1'rcB Club.)"
With these examples of horticultural wit
before them, the visitors to the "banquet"
this evening will know what to expect when

of the committee gets a few glasses of choice
California wine under his waistcoat. We
hope, however, that his friends will keep an
eye on him, for the sake of his family; he
might do some it? jury by laughing at his ow
jokes.
OUR FIRESIDE BUTCHERIES.
Apparently not content with the frequency
of the murderous assaults to which the citi
zens of this city have boen given over during
the past fortnight, our State authorities seem
supinely content to fold their hands and allow
a series of more fiendish butcheries to be per
petrated from day to day in our own peaceful
family circlos under the sanction of a prosti
tuted law. It is a matter of common noto
riety that explosions of coal oil lamps ara of
frequent occurrence, resulting in lamentable
injuries to life and limb; and in The
Telegraph. a few davs since, a
conscientious erjwse was made of the
manner in which the law is constantly
violated, and the removal of Robert M.
Evans, Inspector of Coal Oils, was demanded
of Governor Geary, upon the ground that,
instead of enforcing the provisions of the
law to protect the community, the said Evans
strove only to fill his own purse.
In another column of to-day's issue is pre
sented a plain communication, to which we
invite the attention of our readers. The
writer tells how he, through tho mercy of his
Creator, saved his family from tho disastrous
consequences of an explosion; but there are
many heads of families in this city who could
tell sadder tales of how loved ones in.their homes
were slaughtered by like criminal acts of their
neighbors. With shrewd common sense, the
gentleman urges the public to inspect their
oils before burning, and at present this pre
caution is the only safeguard the public have.
Governor Geary neglects to interpose his
authority for the protection of our citizens,
that he may sustain the perquisites of an in
competent politician of his own party. If the
people begin in earnest to apply the remedies
they hold in their own hands, they will teach
their rulers that they have certain rights
which must be respected, and that the pro
tection of life must be secured by all the
power of their Executive.
Have We a McKnhiiit Amon I's ? McKnlght la
a f Jothaniltc, a Deputy Sheriff, who recently arrested
one Conkllu on suspicion that he was a party to the
recent robbery of the Merchants' Vnlon Express
Company, and under the pretence of getting a con
fession from him detaiacd him at his (McKnlght's)
nouse, instead of taking tho prisoner before the
magistrate who Issued the warrant for his arrest.
By some means Conklin managed to send word to
his friends of the private confinement he was under
going, and so was released on a habeas corpus, Mc
knight being required to produce his captive before
Judge C'lcrke, when he was admonished that It was
not in his power to constitute himself a Judge of
what the police magistrate should do in the premises.
Now we are not surprised at anything done in New
York city, but this procedure on the part of Deputy
Sherifl McKnlght, in view of what has transpired of
late and is daily transpiring in our city, raises the
grave question, Is It not possible that we have one
or more McKnlghts among us? That Is the query,
and a pertinent one. Rewards, nowadays, amount
to nothing when criminals and their friends can
outbid those offered by the constituted authorities.
Had Conklin, during his imprisonment In McKnlght's
'ed-chamber, clothes-closet, or cellar, confessed and
given the names or the parties to the robbery, the
Deputy Sheriir would have come in for a large share
of the rewaid, and everybody will suspect that It
was with this view that he kept his prisoner at his
house. Having made a confession, if guilty, a moiety
or even a modicum of the spoils would, in all proba
bility, have effected the prisoner's release and en
sured the arrest of his confederates. The heavy
reward ollered by Confmissloner Delano for the
arrest of the villains who attempted the murder of
Mr. Brooks has failed in its aim. It may be that their
friends have "gone jr000 better,'' and that those who
have their eyes upon the rutllans are waiting for the
Government to go $5000 more. This being the case, It
Is diillcult to imagine when, or whether ever, the
would-be assassins will be brought to justice. But
the question will also find place upon the Hps of
thousands of our law-abiding, law-loving citizens,
Is it not just possible that we have a McKnight
among us?

There will be au election in Vst Virginia
October 'M, for a new Legislature. The issue
at the polls will be the enfranchisement of the
ex-Con federates. The Wheeling InteUij?ncer,
tho lending Republican organ, takes the nlliina
tive side.
It is suld that tho Hon. A. 0. P. Nicholson, of
Columbia, Tenn., is a candidate lor United States
Senator In that Stale. Mr. Nicholson was a distin
guished member of the old Democratic party. It
was to hill) that Mr. Cass wrote his famous "Nichol
son letter," in 184H. He was the editor of the Wash
ington "jWoii, the organ of the Pierce administration
froi I8fi3 to lsf7, when he was elected to the I'uited
States Senate from Tennessee.
A special from Little Hock, Ark., says the Re
publican members of the Legislature held a meeting
ut which resolutions were adopted for the lorinatiou
of a liberal Republican party on the basis of univer
sal suffrage and universul amucBly. A committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions and lake other
measures for the completion of the organization.
The committee have published a call for a State Con
vention to meet on the 13th of October to carry out
the purposes of the meeting.
Senator Brownlow published a card at Nash
ville, stating that he had disposed of his interest in
the Kuoxville H'A, but that paper will continue to
support the lfi'iiitbllean cause. He says so many
I'nion men in Tennessee have gone astray thut he
would advise his Northern friends to accept the
Tennessee ltepublicuns only for what they are worth
lit present. The I'm ami Times, the Scllter. -organ
ut Nashville, is advertised for sale.
The Kxecutive Committee of the Damocratic
party of Georgia deem It inexpedient to recommend
an election for members of Congress this year, there
being no law authorizing such au election till No
vember, lsio. The right of the members elected
April, lss, to be admitted to seats In the Forty-first
Congress, is a question to bo determined by the
House of Representatives when said members pre
sent themselves for admission, ami an expression
of opinion by the committee is therefore regarded us
unnecessary.

Gentlemen: In the year isco I unfortunatelr was
in business In the Artisan Building, which was de
stroyed by lire ol the 10th of April. I had then la
use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upon
opening it I found everything destroyed, and fire
burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several
of your Safes In that Are, also several In the Ore at
Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, Ave
weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened
proved they were Are-proof Indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and in every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of either
makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
once concluded to have something that I could de-'
pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The safe I purchased of you ot that time was sub
jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside In the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marblo Paper factory, 921
Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the
24th Inst. Alter digging tho safe from the ruins,
and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to
And everything, consisting of books, papers, money
and silverware, all right. I shall want another of
your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue
mv business in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of safes.
