MTNEItS ADMTN1HT11A TION THE BUVK8110T WAR Fj-Govkhnob IIitnkb was the 1m t of the trio who, a generation ago, were the lending . tors in Pennflylvania State politics, llin opponent in the exciting Gubernatorial cam paign of 1838, ex-Governor David R. Porter, ,! died on the 6th of August, 18G7. Thaddeiu Stevens, after gaining in the national coun cil1 an influence na commanding as that which he had previoujdy exercised within the boundaries of the Commonwealth, died in 1C. And Ritner, although born before j either Torter or Stevens, for a brief period survived them both. The era with which he j was actively identified has now passed into t history, and its exciting events can bo as dis passionately discuswod n the policy of colonial . go vera ors whose very names are forgotten, i It marked an important transition period, i pregnant with striking changes in the whole ; political system of the State. Ritner was the j first man to break up a long succession of : Democratic Governors. The principles and I eaders of that party had gained an ascend-I ancy which made opposition on issues legiti- , mate! connected with national politics per fectly hopeless, and the anti -Masonic excite ment furnished the first eflective agency for diainteorratins its compact lines. In those days the German element was proportionally j O w - much more powertul tnanat tne present time, ; and one of the most important qualifications of an aspirant for State honors was a know ledge of the German language and personal popularity in Gorman districts. Ritner's jbiith'and associations having given him this endowment, the acquaintances and position Le had acquired during an unusually long service as a member of the Legislature made lain the most available nominee that could be found for the new party, and by dint of re peated effort he at last reached the goal of his ambition through the aid of the Democratic divisions. Elected as an anti-Mason, it was incumbent upon him or his followers to at tempt to enforce the principles of that party. Stevens undertook this difficult task only to be bafHod by the sturdy and dignified resistance of the leading mem bers of the Masonic Order; and after this failure, anti-Masonry ceased to be an aggres sive and growing power, although its princi ples had still many enthusiastic followers. The Governorship in those days was endowed with vast patronage, the appointing power extending to nearly all local offices; and it was during Ritner's term that the new Consti tution, which made most of these positions elective, was framod and adopted. When ho entered the office ho was armed with patron age analogous to that wielded by the Presi dent of the United States, while his successor enjoyed much more restricted powers. The movement which resulted in this change, and the popular ratification of it, were due in a large degree to the disgust of the Democracy with their dissensions, which had bean origi nally fomented by the quarrels of their rival office-hunters, and to the desire to enlarge the sphere of the direct action of the peoplo; but it is doubtful whether the new Constitu tion would have been ratified at that time jf there had not been added to these mstirves the indignation of Democratic ftpoil-huntcrs "attne "appointment of their political enemies to lucrative county offices all over the State, and in Democratic as well as nnti-M-tsouic districts. Before 1K"8 the'laws regulating elections were very imperfect; a wid door was opened for fraud, and the intense ex citement attending gubernatorial contests produced by the concentration of patronage was intensified by the prevalence of the prac tice of betting on the result to an extent which has never since been approached iu this Commonwealth. . These evils were re formed immediately after the close of Ritner's term, by the stringent election law of 18:ti, which corrected many of the abuses that had for years been gradually gaining increased proportions. In the memorable contest of l:lf the deep- . est 'passions of the Commonwealth were therefore aroused by a series of issues of momentous importance. The Democracy, defeated in 1835 by their dissensions, were in tensely anxious to regain their wonted ascen dancy. The Masons were eager to avenge what they deemed unjust oppression. Re formers desired to tieeure a fair test for the Untried features of the new Constitution, and to purify the elections. Questions connected with the management of the public works, the free school system, aud the United States Bank, added intense excitement to the con flict; and as the rival candidates for Governor bad been subjected to scurrilous and vitupe rative personal attacks of every description, no element was wanting to awaken a univer sal and absorbing interest in the result of the Conflict. After tha election many charges and counter charges of fraud were made. Both hides claimed a triumph, and, Jiotwithstanding tho apparent majority for Porter, it was alleged by one of Ritner's leading partisans that he would treat the elec tion as if Le had not been defeated. Under these circumstance the final result depended v upon the official count of the returns, and this was surrounded with doubt by the con testing claims of rival candidates for the Legislature from Philadelphia. By the ad mission of the Democratic applicants that party would gain control of tho House, aud jUy their rejection the anti-Masons would retain legislative rowr. reeling ran fiohigU THE DAILY EVliNlKQ TKLfiORAl'U I'HILADKLPHIA, TIlUltSDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1360. that for a time two organisations were kept up, each claiming to be legal. In the midst of those difficulties the Philadelphia Democracy sent to Harris burg large delegations of its fighting men of that day, and Ritner, alleging that they sought to overawe the Legislature by force, appealed, but in vain, to the National Government for troops to aid in suppressing thU outbreak,' and also called out the militia to aid in the maintenanoe of order. As there was an ap parent dead-lock in the governmental niachi ncrv 8roat interest in the contest was mani fested throughout the Union, and Lewis Cats, who was at that time Minister to France, re cords a conversation with Louis ThUippe in which that monarch, mindful of similar complications in Paris, expressed the belief that Pennsylvania would become the scene of a protracted and bloody partisan or revolutionary conflict. It is difficult even at this-day to prodict the result, if a few of the Whigs and anti-Masons in the House had not changed front, and, by uniting with the Demo crats, Bocured a Democratic organization of the Legislature, which was followed by a count of the gubernatorial vote entirely satis factory to the Demooracy, and a peaceful abnegation of power by the anti-Masonic administration. WJ82WUX2TJM "CONTINGENT EX- PENS US." Alak! and alack! and how are the mighty fallen! The Hon. Elihu B. Washbmne, of Rlinois, holds the position of Minister Pleni potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary from the United States to the Court of Napoleon III, with a salary of .;17,rX) in gold. Sinco Min ister Washburne has beon residing abroad, he has crept into the newspapers of his own country but twice. The first appearance was during the summer, when we wero called upon to note his arrival at a notorious German re sort, where, in company with Ministers Curlin, Jay, Jones, and other American diplomats, he was invited to dinner bv a nromincnt l.nnltnr from Frankfort-on-the Main. Minister Wash- burne, it now appears, has torn himself awav from the attractions of Hombourg, and settled down, at last, in Paris. But no sooner has he done so than he makes tho disheartening dis covery that it is quite impossible for him to support the dignity of his official position on the paltry Bum of $17,500 in gold per annum. He therefore makes an appeal for $1.,00() in gold for "contingent expenses," and wo suppose that his appeal will receive the atten tion of Congress, even if it doos not move tho hearts of that body to acquiescence. Minister Washburne's immediate predeces sors in the French mission, General John A. Dix and Hon. John ltigelow, found it pos sible to live and thrive in Paris on $1 7,500 in gold per annum; but then what are Dix and Bigelow by tho side of Washburne ? Dix and Bigelow understood the language and were familiar with the customs of the peoplo to whom they were accredited, whilo Washburn is, or a few months ago was, blissfully igno rant of both their language and their customs, as well as utterly without experience in tho diplomatic sphere. If any argument in favor of increasing his allowance could be brought forward, this argument certainly can. The dullest sort of a Congressional intellect will not fail to perceive that an inexperienced diplomat who speaks only his native tongue will prove more expensive than one who has had some little experience abroad, and is the master of one or two foreign dialects. When Minister Washburne was a member of the House of Representatives, he achieved an enviable reputation for the vigilance with which he guarded tho public treasury. During tho last years of his .service in Congress he was known indiscriminately as "the Father of the House:' gnJ "the Wutch-dog of tho Trea sury," and tho latter soubriquet was quite as much deserved as the former. Indeed, when we consider the zeal which he displayed in his efforts to introduce economy into every branch of the public service, we can only re gret that he permitted the delusive splendors of diplomacy to overshadow the more sub stantial honors of his position as a law-maker; and when we consider his acknowledged un fitness for a foreign mission, our regret is transformed into downright sorrow. The fact that Lord Lyons, the British Minister at the Court of Versailles, receives a salary of c0,000 in gold, together with house rent, is no argument in favor of voting Mr. Wash burne a contingent allowance of . $15,000. If Mr. Washburne had devoted his whole career to diplomacy, and could lay claim to a tithe of the diplomatic experience and tact of Lord Lyons, the argument would avail him in his present pecuniary embarrassment. But not until our diplomatic Horvice is raised to the elevated standard of Great Britain can there be any reason in demanding that our ropre Rentatives abroad should be paid on the samo liberal scale. AOASHIZ VS. MOMS. Pilot :sson Agassi?, has thrown himself into needless antagonism with the deep-rooted religious sentiment of tho country. At the very beginning of his opening lecture at Har vard University the other day, ho is reported to have said: "I do not wish any ono to como to my lectures who believes tho Book of Genesis, as given in the Bible." By, making use of these arrogant words Professor AgasKU! has gone far towards undermining the great reputation which he has attained in the field of soicntiflc research. He simply shows that his intellect has beon narrowed, instead of broadened, by tho labors of his life. Ihe Book of Genesis is not a treatise on fossil fishes, neither does it pretend to set forth any dogmatic theory which is in nnlago- mum with Agassiz's favorite glacial Hypothesis facts which the great Harvard savan appears altogether too narrow-minded to appreciate. The world has produced scores of men whose scientific knowledge has been almost as doep and broad as is that e-f Professor Agassi, whilo thoir faith in the Word of God has aot been Bhaken. The re conciliation of the Mosaic account of the creation with that which has been written ppon tLo rocks by the finger of tho Creator is by no means an impossible or insurmount able task. There are, however, those who repudiate all the disclosures of modern goo logy, because of the seeming conflict, and when Professor Agnssiz attempts to repudiate the Holy Scriptures because of this apparent antagonism, he simply sinks to thoir dogmatic and bigoted level, and provokes a contest in which he U morally certain of being worsted. Gf.NFEA. Adam Badac, we are now told, has taken rooms in Washington, where he v,ill devote tho winter to the second volume of his "Life of General Grant." The first volume of this work was received with great favor, and when completed, it promises to be a valuable contribution to the history of the late war. But we had understood that Gene ral Badean was appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sonato as Assistant Secretary of Legation at fiondon. Has Gene ral Badeau thrown up the cares and emolu ments of this snug littlo office, ho as to devote his entire time and attention to the pursuits of literature? It is all very well for him to complete his life of the President, but the overburdened tax-payers of tho country will scarcely agree with him as to tho policy of his drawing pay as Assistant Secretary of Lega tion at London, while he passes a whole win tor at Washington in the pursuit of n private avocation. Come to Gkief Tho P.lair family, as was to have been expected. Frank Blair, Sr., the father of tho brood, has been so reduced by the waywardness of his sons that he has been forced into the rather unintellcctual employ ment of huckstering potatoes. Neglecting to take ont an internal revenue license, ho was placed under arrest, and only released when the Commissioner decided that he was not amenable to tho tax because he did not set up a permanent market stall, or make the hawking of potatoes a permanent busiuoss. We Consider it a sign ot a healthy reaction when we find one of tho Blairs going into this soli of business. It is to be hoped that both young Frank and Montgomery will fol low the latest example of thoir venerable pro genitor. Cv.nt Teh Cknt. General Hartrauft's ma jority hist October fell a little short of one and a half per cent, of tho total vote; while Judge Williams' majority at the recent elec tion was slightly in excess of that proportion, showing that the Republican party has just hold its own, as far as tho vote for Judge of the Supreme Court is concernod. Governor Geary's majority, however, is less than eight tenths of ono per cent, of the total vote, showing, per contra, that on tho gubernato rial vote tho -Republican party has lost ground slightly.

Tianvcript or last Saturday weok fays : For the pant three dnys a destructive eonilafjrutlon Iihs been rugliiK in the footlilllH, about live miles' from Otiklumi. The lire originated Wednesday fore noon, at the works of the Contra Costa Water Com pany, from a bo nil re of brush kindled by some of lite workmen. Wednesday afternoon and night the tire sorcud slowly, and Thursday it continued ita course down the ctuion occupied by the water com pany, aud in the evening reached the Telegraph road. Shortly after sundown the house of the llev. Mr. White took tiro and was very quickly consumed, tho furniture and personal property being entirely destroyed, and Mm. White, whose husband Is absent, barely escaped serious Injury. The house aud contents and surrounding property de stroyed are vstimatod at $1000. In the same vicinity tho hay stock of A. D. Colby was burned, aud D. A. l'ryal's hay stack of 120 bales of hay, worth about was also destroyed. The tiro spread iu every dl-ri-ction, and yesterday had travelled as far as the (staple ranch, and In the evening the lire could be seeu in the hill in the rear of the University grounds, having croiised deep canons and wide roads. In its progress immense quantities of t-tutiding hay, tim ber, and grass were consumed, and fences to ati ex tent thus far unknown have been consumed. Tito Are appeared to be ratng with full force last night, progressing in a northwesterly direction, and dually disappearing from sight as it. crossed the highest ridge of hills and descended into the valleys below, and directly to the north. Tho lino of the liro was steadily advancing westward, and doubtless a largo amount of property was destroyed. The damage that hud been sustained to property in this county, up to nine o'clock hml night, could not have been less than 110,000, and (he loss that will result from the destruction of growing trees aud the pusturuge upon which thousands of the cattle de pend for subsistence can hardly bo estimated. Of course the residents of the section In which the flro prevailed did everything In ihclr power t clieclt its progress, and all known expedients for lighting lire were promptly resorted to. but all wore uuuvailing. Last evening the steam tire pngtue was taken to the vicinity ol the University grouuds and the Deaf, Dumb, and Wind Asylums. The Are had reached a point within ufiy feet of the out buildings of the Asylum, but the persons pres ent managed to bent It out with bushes and old sacks. The residence of Mr. Batchelder, of Berkeley, was in Imminent danger. Nearby was a spring lu which there was about eight inches of water, and the engine was stationed bv it, with steam up, ready for au emergency. There wua only water enough to supply It for a few moments aud the greatost pru dence was therelore necessary. Fortunately, by their individual cliorts, the flames were arrested in their progress. The itreuien united with the people of the neighborhood in betiling down the flames while thov kept their apparatus so that as the last resort they could full back on what littlo water they could obtain. A Utile alter nine o'clock, the course of tho Ure was turned, and it was, at a litter hour, making its way over toward Martlnex. Large oak trees bunted readily before Must, and tho surface of tho hills Is completely bare, and the ravines are completely burned out, no chapparel being left.
