Trouble in the Republican Camp.
The leading Republican papers in
every direction, in the interest of Mr.
Chase are beginning to speak out
plainly. They speak the honest senti
ments of the !ft,legro suffrage" wing of
the party. The Philadelphia Alorning
Post of Saturday - last • pitches into
Grant and the Grant Republicans in
good style, as follows:
"Montgomery Blair, one of the
ablest and best informed renegades in
the country, declares that "Grant has
hitherto denounced negro suffrage and
the destructive policy of which it is the
cardinal feature." He claims him as a
Democrat; he believes that Grant will
not accept a Radical nomination. How
is it that Republicans dare to nominate
Grant when this assertion can be open
ly made by the Democratic I#:faders ?
It has been made before, and Grant
'has not contradicted it, and he proba
bly will not contradict it. now. So far
as the people of this country know, Getz.
Grant has not said one open honest word
for the Republican party. His friends
tell us that his principles aro found in
his actions, and the Democrats affirm
that by his actions he shows himself
their friend. No Republican dares to
say that Grant has frankly pledged
himself to support negro suffrage; but
Montgomery Blair does say that he
has denounced it. We do not hesitate
to declare, what men of all parties be
lieve, that the mystery in which Gen.
Grant delights to shroud his opinions
is not creditable to himself, and not
complimentary to his countrymen.
Whatever his opinions may be they are
all imparted in confidence, with the
doors locked, and under the pledge of
absolute secrecy. But if he has a be
why should ho not utter it? If ho
believes ,that Impartial Suffrage is
right, now is the time to say so, when
the Republican party in 13 States goes
to the polls with that for the main is
sue. His name is quoted against Im
partial Suffrage in New York, and ho
permits our enemies to use his fame as
a, soldier. General Graft, is doing the
Republican party no service by his si
lence iu this crisis.
,: We do not believe in Radicalism that
is dumb. Wo promise the premature.
President makers who have failed so
signally in their attempt to pledge
Philadelphia, to a man who won't speak,
that Grant's refusal to declal'e himself
a Republican in 1867 him as
the Republican candidate, in 1865.' Ile
must speak for us now, in our 'hour of
trial and defeat, now when. the Demo
cratic party threatens to sweep the
North, or he need not cony) before our
Cohvontion to ask us to make him
President.' Pits John Porter was
Missed from the" United States' in dis
grace because, when the Union troops
were hopelessly fighting against over
whelming 'odds, ho stood aloof with his
'e.orps'and permitted our defeat. The
I Republican party is fighting a greater
battle, and if General Grant lags now
in the rear, when-the danger is at the
front, he will not share the-glory of
the victory which, with 'God's: help,we
shall win."
iptirrThe negro' spirit was well evim
cod in Richmond, when a body of them
ordered two•4 4 .tbe' white merchants
out of the city on the peril of their lives.
And this banishment of two business
men- and good citizens for the reason
that'they were outspoken in opposi
lien to their ticket. :And vet the'Rad
icals will have this barbarous element
to take a part in making our laws. A
negro is an easily-persuaded creature.
Such Radicals as Hunnicutt know it,
anti" they; gov'erned accordingly in
their course to ward ,thera, It was Hun
nientes teaching, that led the negroes
in Richniond to ostracise the two mer
chants, twit it.is his teachings that is
continually working up the,nogrees to
a: lasting , hatted of, the Whites. The
Sotithern 'whites cannot help hat see it,
and they cannot hdlp but prepare for
it.
,We dread the consequences of such
,teachings and pileparation. - No
white man, whether .Union or rebel,
eau live peacefully •where the,.nogroes
'ores° impressed; for the uegroestnow
nereliels nor no Union'lnen. They
will' know white men, and thdy will
know theM only to hate ,them. The
white men ,will not subinit to .this way
of living. :The more'peaceitbly•dispe
ied will leave, white th'ere' Wine oth
ers who will retaliate; anct then will
commence a reign of terror Unparallel
ed in the 'barbaric 'ages. • There are
those in the' North' who echoed the
praise awarded to Congress for giving
thc , nogroes the right to :vote. Have
they seen .by this. time how ruinous is
becoming that policy, not only -to the
welfare of •the negro, but ' also to the
peace and prciaperity of the nation?

NE Sir YOR.k. IDLEerioig. : —The election
takes place to-day, Tuesday. A New
York'dispatch to the Cincin'enti
thercial says :
- Chairman , of the Democratic
State Central Commiitee,Tilden's, usu
ally short face is elon,,oated.safficiently
to adorn Harper. - I havo just conver
sed with the lugubrious gentlemen.
His State Conventioti refused to in
dorSe the President.• His 'organ, the
World, repudiated the 'President and
the Pendleton greenback question.
'Thus arrayed, they wentinto the fight,
butinding 'themselves soon alter short
of funds, they opened negotiations with
the President, who, in return '
sent a,
commissioner to treat with them.
Their terms were that, if ho would sus
pend all Republican Colleetorsand As
sessors in New York they wouldlol
crate him for the present, Ho treated
the - demand with contempt. They
then sent Mr. Pierce, of Brdoklyn, to
get the Administration to wink at
frauds - sufficient to pay the St. Nicho
las Hotel headquarters bill. - Pierce
came back with a flea In' his ear.' Tlids
we have a split between the President
and the Now York Democracy, and
between the Democrats of Now York
and the West. I bet my money on
the Republic:ins."
se - John A. Andrew - , Ex-Governor
of Massachusetts, died at Boston at six
o'clock on the evening' of October 30th,
of apopleiy.
The Impeachment,
It seems that the President cannot .
be suspended from office while on trial
for impetichment! =-Mr.."Stevens, the
original promoter of the impeachment
and of the suspen.ilori t 6yerlookeda Con
gressionafprecedeut itil7B7,which gov
erns his case and e9tops Cheend desired
by him. The Convention which framed
the Constitution in 1787, settled this
point in their discussion, which is thus
repotted in President Madison's report
of the debates:
I=
FRIDAY, Sorg. 13,1787
Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Gpuvernur Morris
moved "That persons impeached be su4pcn
ded from their Offices until they ho tried and
acquitted." ,
Mr. Madison.—" The President is made too
dependent already on the Legislature by the
power of one branch to try him in consequence
of an impeachment by the other. This inter
mediate suspension will put him in the pow
er of one branch only: ' They can at any mo
ment, in order to make way for the function
of another who will be more favorable to their
views, vote a temporary removal of the exist
ing magistrate."
Mr. King concurred in the opposition to
the amendment.
On the question to'agree to it:— ,
AYE—Connecticut, South Carolina, Geer
gia-3.
No—New Hampshire, Massaehustts, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
: Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina—S.
So the, proposed amendment was rejected.
The very motion which Mr. Stevens
wishes to have succeed, was thus voted
down in the Convention which made
the Constitution by eight States against
three—thus substantially prohibiting
suspension in the estate named ; for
what the Convention decided against,
is as weighty to ourjudgment as what
it decided for, is binding upon our con
duct. Mr. Madison denios to Congress
the power of suspension. if the at
tempt, therefore, is made in the case of
Mr. Johnson, he may carry the, matter
up to the Supreme Court, which can
hardly fail to decide fur him. Thus,
there seems really no method of reach
ing the President save by the im
petvihment, trial and condemnation
provided in the Constitution; anything
short will fail: The Constitution for
bids its use. Se, we are now once
more in .a quandary. The friends of
the President have found a shield
broad enough to cover. them. How
will his foes penetrate the buckler?

The,Virginia Election.
Correspondence of the Now York World.]
Mewl°No, Va., October 26
Of the results of the military elec
tion,
or rather farce, which took place
in this State on-Tuesday last, the tele
graph has doubtless informed you, but
there are some facts concerning the
matter that have not been - made pub
lic: Respecting the character, of the
men elected to the convention, and the
frauds perpetrated...by the Radical
leagues, aided and abetted by military
authority, the decent, sensible people
of the State arejustly innignant, but
they are powerless to resent idle out
rage and must. stand idly by and see
their rights and: liberties 'jeopardized
by the corrupt men in power.. But for .
the facts :.In the first place, with a
clear white, ajority of thirteen ,thous
and votea', the State vas so gerryman
dered that the negroes were enabled
to elect fifty-six delegates and the
whiteS only fOrty-three, whop it should
have' been the. reverse, fifty-=six, white
Conservatives to forty-three negro Rad
icals. With this result, and with the
glorious victories' achieved by the
Democratic party at the North in view,
we were encouraged in the hope that
if we could vote down a convention,
- Congress might conclude to no farther
humiliate the people of the State. And
this would have been the case had a
fair election been allowed us: but the
machinery of the Leagues was work
ing too effectually to - permit this, and
the result is that a convention has been
ordered and delegates elected that
would, in nine cases' out of ten, dis
graes the wall 9 of a penitentiary. Tho
negroes had boon drilled so well, and
were in such dread of their moan
white managers, that they voted al
most unanimously for the nominees of
the Radical party, no matter who were
their opponents. And not only this,
but by violence and threats they pre-
vented the blacks that desired to do
so; from voting the Conservatko tick
et. In Albemarle county; on of the
richest and most populous counties in
the State, Judge Alexander - Rives, who
has been a Republican all his life, be
fore, during, and' since the war, a man
of.intellioence, wealth, and position in
society—did not receive a dozen ne
gro 'votes; but a man named Thomp
son, from your State,
who Was public
ly denounced as totally unworthy by
a: United States officer, and' a negro
nameti. Taylor, wore elected almost
unanimously over him!' A similar case
Occurred in Howie°, where Mr. Frank
lin,Stearns was the candidate; •immin
noted by Republicans, Whose unionism
no one doubts, and whO was beaten by
a 'man whom no mid knew, but who
was the nominee of tlio nograes, and,
whose only claim to their saff'rage Was
that ho hid in the swamps during 'the
War; and•hcmtuie ho was a member' of
the League and their' president.' In
.rdoeltlonhurg County a negro WhO can
not'read or' write, and who has been
coniieted' five times in the courts for
stealing, Was elected over • a respecta
blo Union man. All over the eastern
portion oftho State - the 'same 'results
have boon secured ; but the above will
give - you a Sample of how Virginia and
Virginians are to be governed in the
'future. The candidates for this city
consist of the notorious Hunnicutt, the
corrupt and detestable Underwood, an
Irishman named Morrissey, a disgrace
to his gallitnt countrymen, and two
negroes. These men received only
fifty white votes in the whole city, and
Were denounced publicly by' some of
their own gang as scoundrels and per
jurers. The respectable northern men
*among us did not and would not vote
for them. They wore elected by fraud,
as the card from Mr. Gilmer to Gener
al Schofield . abundan.tlY..shows. • The
president of' the • Regtstration Board,
oneßnSe (by no' mean's a sweet one),
on the last day of the election said 'ho
"did'nt care a d—n 'tor, all the white
people in Richmond." •Som9 of hi's
friends had bet (mit Radical majority
of so • Much', and ho intended they
Should win.
Negro Vigilance Committee
Facts have , recently _come to light
showing that the Radical loaders, not
satisfied with having everything their
own way at the polls, have' actually
gone so' far as to influence if not assist
in the formation of a negro vigilance
committee for the purpose of intimida
ting and threatening' white people.
Hero are 'HOMO' of the facts respec-
table, hard workingman, named Mon
roe, originally from tho State of Maine,
bad.the boldness to denounce Hunni
cutt and his gang, and this is the re
sult. Ho is ordered to pack up and
leave the city, • and if be- chooseS he
may take' his family. Your corres
pondent knows Mr. Monroe, and he is
a quiet,industripus, and honest citizen,
esteemed by all his acquaintances, and
he . has tho'nervo to defy the black apes
although they are•led on by some of
the meanest whites that ever disgraced
humanity.' Mr.-NoWdeelter, who car
ries on a .141.ga:tobacco manufactory,
also received a note from the vigilance
comMittoo, to leave the city•because he
had• the temerity to discharge some of
his - lazy, impudent negroest who would
notowork themselves•nor,allow others
to do so. The'following: is the order
of .the negro vigilance. committee sent
to several' of 'our leading,citizons

Thanksgiving Proclamation,
HARRISBURG; NOV. 1, 1867.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
From the creation of the world, in
all ages and climes, it has been custo
mary to set apart certain days fqr,
special religious observance. This has
not always been influenced by the
light of Christian knowledge, nor by
any proper conception of the charao- ,
tee of that Gi:eat Being "who ruleth
the earth in righteousness," and "who
daily !oilcloth us with his benefits :"
but by an innate sense of the existence
of an overruling Tower, by which all
the world and all it contains aro gov
erned and controlled. Aided by the
dibtates orcultivated reason and the
teachings of Divine revelation, we,
however, are taught to 'recognize in
that Suprtrine Ruler a Heavenly Fath
er, to
,whoin' we are indebted for exis
tence and all the blessings we enjoy,
and to whom__ we oive, conStant and
fervent thanksgiving and praige. It
is He who "visiteth the earth and wa
toroth it reVho "setteth the furrows
and biessot.h the springings :thereof;"
who "erowneth the year with His good
tress, and whose paths drop fatness ;"
who "closeth the pastures with flocks,
and covereth the valleys with corn ;"
who "maketb the out goings of the
moriringand of the evening to rejoice;"
who "is our refuge and strength;" who
"maketh wars to cease," and "savoth
us from our enemies;" - and whose
throne is forever and ever," and who
"blesseth the nations whose - 'God is I
the Lord." ,
On all sides wo have increased as
surances of the, "loving kindness" of '
as All-wise Parent of Good, who has
conducted our nation through a long
and terrible war, , and permitted our
people to repose once more in safety,
"without any to molest them or to
make them afraid:" Tho monstrous
sentimentlof disunion is no'longer tol
erated. The flad,lho Union, and the
Constitutibn are esteemed as the safe
guards of the rights and liberties of
the people, and are revered an& defen
ded as the ark of their political safety.
A kind Providence has not grown
weary of supplying• our 'Continuous
wants; a bounteous harVeSt has re
warded the labors of the husbandman;
flocks and herds are scattered in' count
less number over our Valleys and hiller;
commerce is uninterrupted, and ves
sels laden with the prodects, of- nature
and of art speed unmolested over_ the
trackless deeps. Neither 'Pestilence,
famine, political 'or' social evils, finan
cial embarrassments of commercial dis
tress, have been permitted to stay the
progress and happiness of • the • people
of this great' 'Commonwealtk;' but
peace, health,- education, morality
ligion, social imprOvoment and refine
ment, with their attendant blessings,
have filled the cup of comfort and en
joyment to overflowing. .
Recognizing our responsibility to
Him who controls the destinies of na
tions as well as of individuals, and
"from whom corneal down every good
and perfect gift," to whom we arc
deeply
,indebted for all these and the
richer blessings of our common Chris
tianity, let us unitedly give. our .most
devout gratitude, and hearty thanks

By the Governor: . .
P. JORDAN, Secretary of State
Pen and Scissors,
While sinking a well in Fayette co:,
lowa, Captain 'Appleton canto upon
tho top branches of a buried forest, 12
feet'bolow the surface. The trees were
'erect. What next will, turn:up ?
The builders of the Padifie Railroad
are now in sight of the itoeltYllnun
tains, and will in a few.daykirbitek the
new
?peculation
of Cheyenne, where real-es
tate ?peculation is running high', eoe

As an indication of the'ttriblo'vio
fence of the yellow fever epidemic in
New Orleans, it is stated that sixty
thousand'persons have been attacked
with the disease during the past sum
mer, of which nearly ono-tenth died.
There have been in all' eighteen
deaths from cholera onthe'recetving
ship Potomac, lying ati the Philadel
phia Navy Yard. The disease is be
lieved to have received aa effectual
check.
-The French aristocracy are reviving
hunting. It is becoming more and
more the fashion to .keep hounds for
hunting parties, to which, ladies are
invited. In the day of the older Boor•
bons France was dotted all over with
hunting retreats. •
, • A State fair is a queen,;
,an agricul
turalTair is a, farmer's, daughter;,•a
church lair is a parson's wife; a sol
dier's fair is the, best looking girl ho
eau get hold of; a charity fair is a fe
male pauper; and the most unpopular
fare in the world is boarding-house fare.
Overcoats to the knees, very tight
pants, like •thosel Worn thirty years
ago, and silk hats, with low crowns
and broad brims; such are men's lash
ions for the coming. season. The la
dies• who wear waterfalls have a - con
solation that some of the gentlemen's
styles are as ridiculous as theirs.
The Cincinnati Gazette, whose-chief
editor is a defeated Radical candidate
for.Oongress, says : "No ono need deny
that there is a reaction against the
Radical policy of making black States
in the South." This is a sage conclu•
sion, but be ought to" know from sad
experience. r
The Evansville (Ind.) Journal learns
that the breadth of land sown to wheat
this fall in that part of the State is-un
usually largo, in consequence of the
very favorable weather for sowing.—
It is an old adage among farmers that
to insure good crops you must "sow
your wheat in dust, and your oats .in
mud." This season, there can be no
doubt, has been favorable for carrying
out tho maxim.
