The elections held yesterday indicate that public sentiment on national quentiona has not materially changed since the Presidential contest, and wherever any material divergence from the results of 180(5 has occurred, it is plainly attributable to the paramount interest of local or State questions. In Massachusetts John Quincy Adams was defeated as a Guber natorial candidate, notwithstanding the large amount of aid he received through the nume rous diversions in the Republican ranks and the extraordinary efforts made by himself and his fellow partisans to tone down their Demo cracy to the milk-and-water standard which was deemed best suited to the latitude of the Bay State. He, too, like' Pendleton and Packer, has ceased to be a shining star in the Democratic g.i laxy. The renewed Democratic triumph iu New York will give to Governor Hoffmann of that State at least a temporary advantage over all his fellow claimants for national honors, and if he can retain the support of the leading factions of the fierce Democracy, he will soon be regarded, in every quarter, as the coming man of that organization. In New Jersey the Republicans have gained increased st rength in their Legislature, and the herculean efforts of the eloquent Scovel in the Caindeu district have not prevented the triumph of the Republican candidate for Senate by a very decisive majority. The Western States con tinue as decidedly Republican as ever; and the Democracy must evidently find new issues and new men before they can make a sensible impression upon the solid ranks of the Western Republicans. HON. EDWARD BETTLE.. The Republicans of Camden county yes terday ,re-electied to the New Jersey State Senate Edward Bet tie, Esq. This gentleman during the term ke has just served in the Senate of New Jersey has proved himself to be the right man in the right place, and the endorsement yesterday given him at the polls was a compliment that was well deserved. ' Mr. James M. Scovel, who also professes to be a Republican, endeavored to oust Mr. Bettle by setting himself up as an independ ent candidate, but as the "irrepressible" only received fifty votes, he was rather effectually repressed, for the time being at least. We will doubtless hear of him again, however, at the next election, but the people of Camden county have evidently had quite enough of him as Senator, and there is but a small pro bability that he will ever have an opportunity to consider five months upon his vote again. Mr. Bettle is an able man and a f rm and consistent supporter of Republican princi pies. His allegiance has never been doubted, and his re-election will give general satisfac tion. DR. LIVINGSTONE. Before Dr. Livingstone undertook his ex plorations, the interior of the African conti net was a land of mystery, about which the most wonderful stories wore told and believed. He first showed its real character, and proved that it is capable of being made the home of a great people when its resources are pro perly developed. That it will some day be thrown open to the influences of civilization few can doubt, and the brave traveller who has revealed it to the world will have a re nown with posterity scarcely second to that of Columbus. Much painful anxiety has been felt as to Dr. Livingstone's fate since the rumors of his death, and although information has been received from time that these were false, nothing definite was heard from him. All present fear of . mishap, however, has been removed by the re ception of brief despatches from him announcing that he is in good health and busily engaged in his appointed work, with a fair prospect of returning once more to his friends with interesting and valuable material for a new work upon the interior of the great continent to the exploration of which he has devoted his life. Dr.' Livingstone reports that he believes that he has discovered the true sources of the Nile. This is of itself an announcement of remarkable interest, for most persons are yet under the impression that the explorations of Baker and Speke did not present the entire solution of the great Nile prouiem mat nas been one or the world's mysteries for ages. If the labors of Dr. Livingstone succeed in revealing the true sources of the Nile, and in opening up the interior of Africa to civilization and Christi anity, he will do more for science and reli gion than any man of our time; and with feel ings of congratulation at his present safety, we hope for his speedy return, with unim paired health, to give the world the result of bis journeying. THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. . It it said that Postmaster-General Creswell will recommend, in his forthcoming report, the modification or abolition of the franking privilege. It Is evident tnat many aouses, which have been practised for years, cannot be checked unless Senators and Congressmen surrender this desirable perquisite. The reasons urged in defense 1( it are weak or fallacious, while the malpractices inseparably connected with it grow worse and worse year after year, and entnil upon the nation an im mense loss. In this age of newspapers and telegraphs, it has ceased to serve any iuipor. iaat Z03 rnrPOK0 tbat canuoj bo, TUB DAILY EVENING TKLEQRAP11 PHILADISLPIHa, . WEDNESDAY, , . NOVEMBER . 3, 1869. served by. other agencies. The President's message, the reports of the heads of depart ments, and the gist of all valuable statistical or official information, are scattered broad cast through the land, and placed within the reach of every intelligent reader, long bofore they can be despatched from Washington under cover of franks.' When Senators or members of Congress say anything worth re porting, their remarks are circulated through the whole country by similar agencies. Nearly every important political event trans piring at . the capital is foreshadowed in advance by a small army of vigilant re porters, and the proportion between the amount of useful information disseminated by the newspnpers and by the circulation of documents sent uder frank is as a thousand to one. The real utility of the franking pri vilege is so slight that no appreciable injury would result from its entire abolition. And while it does so little good, it constantly as sists petty frauds upon the Government, en courages and entails unnecessary expendi tures, and is prostituted to unworthy and im proper purposes by careless or corrupt Con gressmen. On the one hand an attempt is made to render the Post Office Department self-sustaining, while on the other the men charged with the direction of national affairs are constantly robbing it of its legitimate revenues, and loading it down with unneces sary expenditures. Nearly every one of the possessors of the franking privilege is con stantly besiegod by a horde of beggars f or franked envelopes, and there are few who have the moral courage to resolutely abstain from becoming accomplices in this petty thievery, by which the nation is annually robbed of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, by the aid or connivance of chosen agents who have no more moral right to in directly alienate money from the Treasury than to openly steal it. For this reason, if for no other, the franking privilege should be abolished. It would be infinitely better to appropriate a large fixed sum for the pay ment of the postage of those who now pos sess this dangerous power, than to permit them to continue to draw drafts at will for an unlimited amount, and for the use of all their particular friends, as well as. them selves, upon the Post Office Department. In England this reform has been carried to such lengths that even the Queen is obliged to put a postage-stamp upon her own private and officiul letters, and as a natural conse quence of this and other reforms, the British Post Office system yields a handsome revenue, despite the maintenance of extremely low rates of postage. But the systematized and continuous frauds upon the Government are not the only evil of the American franking system. The per sonal use to which Congressmen and Sena tors put it is often as bad as their notorious collusion with the beggars of franks. They load down the mails with surplus matter. They appropriate vast sums of public money to the publication of large editions of docu ments which would never be printed if they could not be distributed free of expense. They use the franking privilege as the great adjunct and supporter of the disgraceful system of buncombe speeches and buncombe legislation, and it does great harm by the aid it renders in manu facturing unfounded reputations for the host of inferior or useless men who are sent to Washington. In times of political excite ment they scatter their favors far and wide, not to apprise intelligent vo.ters of anything which it is important for them to know, but to create the impression that the welfare of the nation is bound up in the continuance of their power. The men who make solid repu tations or render real services do not need these adventitious aids. Constituencies will learn to appreciate the value of their services without being deluged with franked editions of speeches which, in many instances, are not even written by the members who falsely claim their authorship. As the abolition of the franking privilege would also, to a great extent, involve the destruction of these false pretensions, and the false system of which they form a part, the reform cannot too soon be adopted. : ', MORMON PR OP A Q AND ISM. Brigham Youno and the other Mormon lead ers profess to consider the Pacific Railroad a blessing, but they have, by many unmistak able signs, shown that they are desperately uneasy at the prospect now before them of a large increase of the Gentile population of Utah. More than one desperate device has been resorted to for the purpose of establish ing more firmly the authority of the Church and of drawing the Mormon community more closely to itself. Brigham is now endeavor ing to establish co-operative Mormon shops, so as to hamper as much as possible the busi ness of Gentile merchants, and confine the trade of the Mormons among the members of his own community, ne has also ordered the introduction of a new alphabet, whioh it is hoped will introduce substantially a new language, and put np an insurmountable barrier between the Latter Day Saints and the strangers who threaten to drive them from the homes they have built up in the wilderness. All of these devices have an air of desperation about them that proves how clearly the Prophet foresees the approach of the evil day; and that he is both b6ld and cunning is shown by the sending out of mis sionaries to propagate Mormon - principles throughoj.it the States and Territories of the Union. When the Mormons first took pos session of Salt Lake Valley, they were fur ther removed from civilization and the autho rity of ' the United States Government than if they were on the other side of the ocean. A stern determination was' shown to pre; serve this isolation, if possible, and rumors were frequent of the outrages perpetrated, by the order of Young, upon intruders and upon dissatisfied Mormons who ' attempted to escape. The Government failed time and again to support its authority by armed forces, and Brigham reigned seoure in hU retreat. The tide of civilization, however, m PiYWlf Cfl Ft! yinprecedeate rapidity during- the last four years, and both from the East and the West the Mormons have gra dually been hemmed in until Salt Lake City is no longer the isolated spot it was but a short time ago. The result of this is that the rumors of Becret assassinations have been growing less and loss frequent, until they have almost ceased. Occasionally, however, something occurs that show9 the true spirit of the Mormon loaders, and indicate ctosrly what they would do if they dared. A despatch published this morning, for instance, informs us that the editor of the Utah Reporter was beaten nearly to doath, at tho town of Brig ham, on account of his opposition to poly gamy. This is the good old-fashioned style of Mormon propagandism; and if the report is true, it ought to indue the Government to make a decisive move towards convincing Young and his followers that they are amena ble to the laws. Mormonism, with its out rageous practices and its system of govern ment, that sets itself above tho supreme law of the land, is a blot upon the civilization of the age, and the time has now arrived when there is no excuse for the nation's submitting to it any longer. The Government can assert its authority if it will, and if Brigham is not willing to yield, he should bo forced to move with his community out of the jurisdiction of tke United States. THE "AGE" VS. MRS. STOWE. The A ge this morning makes the remarkable announcement that it "was the first if not the only American journal which denounced the Stowe scandal as an outrage, not on Lord or Lady Bj ron, but on Byron's dead sister." In view of the fact that tho entire American press, almost without exception, condemned in no measured terms from the first Mrs. Stowe's paper in the September number of the Atlantic, this statement is certainly re markable, and the only conclusion we can arrive at is that the vituperative articles that have appeared in the Aye against Mrs. Stowe were written by some one probably a resi dent fcf Chesnut Hill who does not read the papers, and who consequently does not know what public sentiment really is with regard to this matter. The regular editors of that journal could never have made such an asser tion of their own motion, as they know per fectly veil that it is untrue, and that all of their readers must be aware of the fact. The articles that have appeared in the Age on the subject of the Byrou scandal stirred up by Mrs. Stowe, have condemned that lady not so much because she vilified Byron and his sister as because she is an original abolitionist, a Beecher, and tho author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The writer in the Age hated Mrs. Stowe for the good service she did in the cause of freedom, and this mise rable Byron aff air gave him the opportunity he wished for to abuse her for what were, in his eyes, her real offenses a consistent opposition to human slavery in the United States, and an endeavor to educate public sentiment up to the point of demanding its abolition and to resisting the insolence of Southern slaveholders in their attempts to control the whole policy of the Government in their own interests. The Age - endeavored to make political capital out of the Byron scandal, but the time for that sort of thing has gone by, and even the most ardent poli ticians of the Democratic party have ceased to take much interest in the discussion of the Blavery question. It is only a few men, like the Chesnut Hill contributor to the editorial columns of the Age, who fiud their occupa tion as leaders in the Democratio party gone forever, that look back with regret to the pro slavery days before the war; and upon these the mass of the nation now gazes with pity and contempt whenever they put in a public appearance. Mrs. Stowe's paper in the Atlantic was condemned without reserve by the press of the United States, Republican as well as Democratic. It was condemned on its own merits, and without regard to the writer's po litical or religious principles, and the conse quence was that the editorial articles in the Age excited no attention whatever, especially as the majority of the readers of that journal know little and care less ' about either Byron or his sister. " j OJUT17AUV. - Hon. Charles A. Wlrkllfle. , The Hon. Charles A. Wickllffe, who flgured promi nently in the political world, died on Saturday even ing, at tho residence or his son-in-law, la Howard County, Md., whither he had gone recently to talco medical advice. Ho was born in Bardstown, Ken tucky, on the 8th of June, 1783, and had therefore attained the advanced ago of eighty-one years. After receiving a preliminary education at the grammar school In his native town, he studied law, and soon rose to a high rank in his profession. He took part in the war of 1312, acting as an aide to General Caldwell, and boing present at the battle of the Thames. About the game time he entered upon his political career, serving in the Legislature of Kentucky from lesia to 1323. In the latter year, he was tranhferred to the National House of Represen tatives, retaining his seat In that bjdy during a period of ten years. . On his retirement from Congress, he was again, In 18S3,clected a member of the State Legislature, and In the subsequent year was placed In the Speaker'! chair. In 1836 he was elected Lieutenant Governor ol tie state, becoming acting Governor In t339, by the death of Governor Clark. When John Tyler succeeded to tho Presidency on the death of General Harrison, Mr. Wickllffe was taken Into the Cabinet as as Postmaster-General, in September, 1841, as soon the conllrmed apostacy of Tyler caused the resigna tion of nearly all the Cublnet Ministers appointed by bis predecessor., In this position he served until the close of Tyler's ' administration, and thon, In 1845, was sent by President Polk on a secret mission to Texas, for tho avowed purpose of promoting the an nexation programme of the slaveholdlug oligarchy. On couipletlug this mission, ho did not appear pro minently in political ail'ulrs until the outbreak of the Rebellion, the only position held by bhn In the long interval being that of a seat in the State Constitu tional Convention or 1819. " , ' When the Southern leaders entered Into their ne farious conspiracy for the disruption of the Union, Mr. Wicklliie emerged from his long retirement as a professed opponent of secession, participating iu tho abortive Peace Congress of February, 1S61, and being elected soon after a member of Congress from the Finn district of Kentucky, receiving over eight thousuud votes against less than three thousand for his secession adversary. Although ostensibly op poBed to secession, he planted himself on the antl coercion pluUorm, uud gave at best but a lukewarm support to the Government. "The Constitution as it is' was lils platform ; and la Ms devotion to tlil doctrine he was qnlte as hostile to the pnbllc sentl ment of the North as to that of tho South. He was nrmiy opposed to any and every scheme that was oeviscd for the emancipation of the slay) in the nonior Slates, and In July, 1862, as chairman Of the majority of the border State Representatives in congress, drafted their reply to President Lincoln's proposition for gradnat emancipation, coupled with pecuniary compensation and colonization In south America. in this document devo tion to the Constitution and tho Union was p o ietw d ; but tho policy of tho a ImlnlstraMon and of inc majority in Congress was severely censured, and tne measures adopted by the latter body condomned as being calculator -to distract and divide loyal mer, and exasperate and drlvo still further from us and their duty the people of the Hebolllous States." i tie proposition for gradual emancipation, however, Tnrt "0ti rem,m,lte'1 ' Mo, but. the contingencies under which its conslderat on was promised were such as to practical y defeat the scheme. In striking contrast to this document was the response of the Jiorrter State minority, who, "as loyal Americans, aeciared to tho President and to the world that thero was no sacmice that they were not ready to make to save ho Government and the Institutions of their fathers." During his inst Congressional term Mr. Wloklirre rrequently appeared on the floor with resolutions euioiclng bis devotion to "the. Constitution as it is," aud Dig opposition to the policy whioh to him ap peared to overstep its limits. In 180.1 he again re tired rrom the House or Representatives, but was a prominent member of the Chicago Convention of It ,,at w,"c,, Genoral McClellan was nominated for the I residency, and at which he oirured a resolution to tho effect that Kentucky expected the first act of Mccieiian, when inaugurated in the following March, would be to open Abraham Lincoln's prison doors and set tho captives free. He also offered the resolution, unanimously adopted by the convention, which provided for its reassembling, In case any circumstances might occnr which would render its reassembling necessary, the ostensible object of which was to defeat the alleged purpose of the Government to interfere with the peaceful exer c se of the elective franchise by the Copperhead element of the population. Mr. Wickllffe passed the remainder of his days, arter the close of this con vention, in retirement at his homo in Dardstown, nntil he made the visit to Maryland during which ids death occurred.
