MPEACHINO THE PBESIDCRT.
Thera can no longer be any doubt that
the radicals intend to Impeach President
Johnson at the coming session of Con
gress. He is the great obstacle in the way
of their revolutionary schemes, and the
edict has gone forth that he must be re
moved. Wesdeli Phillips, who is but
a little in advance of his party, has de
clared : “ I would say to Congress, go
back and sit down in tho House of Rep
resentatives and govern the Republic, and
for the first act in that government im
peach the President. Impeach the Presi
dent, place the President of the Senate ha
his office, and then the people would run
the machine.” Hegoes even further than
this, and advocate* revolution ; “ His
theory, Mr. Phillips said, was that there
is no President. He is a deserter. The
Legislative poivcr is the only power left. —
Our James II had abdicated and Parlia
ment rules the nation. He ivantcd Con
gress to commence its next session as aper
petual one. He would have the next Con
gress enact that they should reassemble
in March 1,807, and be themselves the gov
ernment.''
These declarations are not merely to be
regarded as the incoherent ravings of a
crazy fanatic. Wild and eccentric as
Wendell Phillips certainly is, it is a
fact which cannot be disputed that every
position ho has taken has subsequently
hi cn indorsed by the Republican party.
H' is in tho very van-guard of radicalism ;
and however startling and revolting his
enunciations of radical policy, it is never
long before they are incorporated ns planks
into ihc Republican platform. Already
hi l ' -h res is of impeach men tand re volution
V-vr. neon re-echoed by the leading radi
cal Congressmen and Congressional can
didates in nearly every Northern State.
BuTLimand BotiTWELLof Massachusetts;
CtHrkly, of New York; Stevens, Kelly
sud Williams of Pennsylvania; and
oohunck of Ohio, have all whispered
these threats of impeachment and revo
lution. They were only mere whispers
before the recent elections; but now they
have grown Insolent over their victories,
and loudly proclaim their treason upon
the corners ef ths streets.
If those men expect that Andbhw
Johnson will submit to be tried by a Sen
ate from which twenty members are ille
gally excluded, when he is entitled to be
tried before a full Senate; if they expect
hitmto respeet the decision, of such a Court,
rendered after an ex parto trial, we think
they will find they have been mis
taken in, their man. Wherein has Presi
dent Johnson rendered himself liable to
an impeachment? What clause or sec
tion «f the Constitution has he violated?
In what respect has he violated his oath
to preserve, protect rmd defend the Con
stitution of the United States?” And
may he mot find it imperative upon him,
in keeping that oath, to place under arrest
thcao very men who are attempting to as
sail and overthrow that Constitution.
If these threats of impeachment are
carried out, and the radicals act upon the
assumption that the President is deposed,
and recognize the President of the Sen
ate as thechiefExecutive, there will then
be two Presidents, and a civil war must
inevitably result. Andrew Johnson
would have the army and navy in his
favor, and it would take months for the
radicals to create a war establishment of
their own, The Huppoitersof the Presi
dent In the Northern States would nearly
equal the supporters of Congress, while
In the whole United States, including the
Booth, they would outnumber thorn two
to one. in such an event, then, the re
sult could not bo long in doubt. Treason
would be put down effectually and for
ever.
(>CIILE IN MAHYWXD.
Like immortal Jem Baggs, John
W. Fohxey Is only happy and contented
when In the midst of the Intensest ex
citement. He seems to be so completely
“used up” that it requires something
which smells of blood and thunder to gal-
vanize his shattered constitution into its
wonted energy. Consequently Foiinet
is always In trouble, or trying to create
i ■ i bio. He Is always in hot water of his
ow uor somebody else's making. Ho was
never so happy ns when seeking to .sub
born witnesses against the character of
an injured woman ; he contributed more
'-lu.n any one man in tile .United States
n bring about the late civil war ; and now
■ I.so the oxcitemontof civil strife has died
out, he is bored to death with ennui, and
craves more bloodshed and devastation.
Truo, the President is to be impeached
rf nud a radical revolution is threatened at
‘be seat of government; but this cannot
be before December and that is too long
for Kohnev to wait. So off lie posts to
Baltimore to stir up the slumbering fires
of popular violence. He imagines that
ho, as Secretary of the Senate, has in spe
cial charge the liberties of the people of
Maryland. Those liberties are about be
ing Invaded by a corrupt and traitorous
Governor, (whom Foknby was,instru
montal in electing,) and in an Incendiary
letter, over his own signature, he calls
upon the people of Pennsylvania to be
ready, and, if necessary, to make the
street* of Baltimore run with blood.
Tho sole cause of this Intemperate ap
peal is the fact that charges of malfea
sance In office have been made against
the Police Commissioners of Baltimore,
and that In all probability they will be
removed. Wbothdr they are or not, Is a
a matter which rests exclusively with the
Governor of Maryland. He will doubt
less do what he conceives to be his duty
under the Constitution and laws of the
State. With his decision neither the peo
ple of Pennsylvania nor of any other
State have a right to interfere. If the
men who , follow the lead of Porney in
augurate a riot, the Governor will use all
the means at his command to suppress it ;
if he feels that he is powerless to do so,
he will doubtless call upon the President
for a BLiftlcient'forco to enable him to en
force the laws and preserve the peace.—
Any citizens of Pennsylvania who invade
the soil of Maryland to take part with
the riotors, will do so witii tiie gallows
staring them in the face. They will
hang as high as old John Brown and
his murderous gang did in Virginia.
It is not strange that the time has come
when the radical usurpers of Maryland
begin to tjgmble for their lives. Through
the medium of the moat oppressive and
tyrannical legislation the world ever wit
nessed, they have ground the people into
the very dust. No man who does not
worship the ebony idol can say that his
liberty or his property is safe for an hour.
Every man who is not an out and out ra
dical is disfranchised. This petty tyran
ny has been carried into all the walks of
life, until a brave and high-toned people
could stand it no longer. Forbearance
with them lias ceased to bo a virtue. —
They have appealed to the Governor (oi
justice, and if violence and bloodshed
must follow his decision .we believe they
will meet it like men “ who know their
rights and knowing dare maintain
them.”
HEATH OF HON. JOHN TAX lII’KEN.
Hon. John Van Bpren died at sea, on
the steumerNco/i«, on his way home from
Europe, on the evening of Saturday, Oc
tober 13th, at ten minutes past eleven
o’clock. In May last lie left this country
for a tour of the United Kingdom and
tlie Continent, aecompnniedby his daugh
ter, Miss Van Hunts, and his niece,
Miss Nellie Van Buken. After visit
ing Loudon, Norway and Prussia, lie
was passing a few days with a friend in
Scotland, where lie was suddenly taken
ill with disease of tlie kidneys, from
which ho never recovered. . Against the
remonstrances of his friends he was con
veyed on board the Scotia and started on
his homeward journey on the oth of Oc
tober. The following incidents of his last
hours are taken from tho A r . Y. World :
From this time until Tuesday Mr. Van Huron’s
condition was ft continuance of considerable pain
and increasing weakness, without any marked
symptoms that developed any new features of
the disease. He received the unremitting atten
tion of ids daughter and niece. Dr. Crane, of
tills city, was also a passenger on the Scotia, and
was called in in professional consultation upon
Mr. Van Huron's case. That gentleman bestowed
his constant care upon Mr. Van Buren, On Tues
day, the lith of October, Mr. Van Huron's condi
tion exhibited an Improvement. He became'
stronger, and suffered less puih. His appetite
was more that of a cnnvulesceut than of a sick
person. About 11 o'clock In the day be was as
sisted on dock. Hero the freshness of tiie ah- re
vived both ills animal ton and his enemy i > a
considerable degree. His mind became clear.—
He talked earnestly upon the condition of pa; ties
and affairs in tills country. He r.*:pross(*U his
confidence that he would shortly i)e vail again,
a*nd nnribunced his intention ofpluugine intotne
thick of the light, staling that ho “ didn I hohovo
that the American plople, after lighting ‘‘our
years to keep the South lu tho Union, were vow
going 10 allow Congress, to keep and kick U,.un
oni I” Turning to i\gQiiUoniun near him, he --aid
suddenly, and with emphasis. “Sir, I have b en
in the world years, but I always say X
am eighty years old. for there Ims been at least
that much of living crammed Into me.’' His
triends, Mr. Carrol Livingston and Mr. Marhnry.
of NeW York v who were on board,did much to al
leviate tho. tedium of his Illness, and he opouon
his mind freely and frequently to them. During
the period from Tuesday to Friday Mr. Van Hu
ron grew apparently neither better nor worse,
but simply held his own In the battle with death.
He was frequently delirious; never violently so,
but even his aberration was characterized by the
»6onhom77ue that crowned his noble career. He
wvould talk much, at times most wiuuingly. His
mind ran mainly on politics. Ho was full of the
situation of the country. Singular to relate, not
once did his memory of men, parties, and candi
dates fall him. Ho retained that minute knowl
edge of the political history of the past and of the
present political complexion that distinguished
him when in health, His anxiety for the resto
ration of the Union was Intense in his illness,
and In life. Could those fervid appeals of the
dying statesman and patriot have been preserved
beyond tho occasion that gave them birth, they
had been most Interesting and sacred. Forgetful
of himself and his intense pains, his reason, er
rant on all else, still appreciated and was alive
with the peril of the land which ho loved with all
.the fervor of his nature.
A TOUCHING HOKNE
On Friday this supremo anxiety of Mr. Van
Buren for the restoration of tho Union showed
itself In an instance which Is probably one of the
moat remarkable In mortuary history. Ho was
feeling physically better. His. mind showed,
however, no Increase of directness or clearness
upon general topics, or upon any at all, excepting
that-singular Intensity with which he contem
plated the distracted condition of tho country.—
While half reclining, half sitting up, supported
by tho arms of his daughter and nclcce on either
side, Mr. Van Huron's oye lighted up with unusu
al brilliancy, and even in his position he seemed
to expand to tho eye with the pride and port of
tho orator of other days. The narrow cabin be
came a vast auditorium to his view, the few
friends a mighty audience, but, more than all,
the interests of the country rose supreme in his
mind and compelled utterance. He began a
speech on national affairs, and concluded It noi
until he had spoken without interruption two
and a quarter hours. Tho gentlemen around his
bed say that it was in all respects worthy of, and
in some superior to, his happiest efforts. At Hie
first he rapidly and perspicuously photographed
the progeess, the purposes, and tho problems of
the late war, and emphasized the pledged faith
of the Government that it could and should ulti
mate only lu a secured Union of free and equal
States. He then adverted to the efforts of Mr.
Johnson to carry out that pledge in letter and
spirit, and to have for his inspiration and guide
the unmistakable commands of the Constitution,
and the generous magnanimity of the people.—
This part of this most remarkable address was
followed by a scarification ot Congress In terms
of satire, eloquence and reproach, of which none
were so capable us he. A rapid review of the pol
icy of re-union and disunion next ensued, and ho
thought he was once more addressing his fellow
citizens In his native Slate. The subject was pre
sented with a splendid reference to the material
interests and historic greatness of the Umpire
State imperatively demanding that she plant
herself square on the side of a preserved Union
of equal and honored States. At the close Mr.
Van Huron pronounced a eulogy upon the worth,
the talent, the integrity of lion. John T. Holt
man, such as only a man of his strong lutimaev
with the subject of his praise, and that intensity
of personal attachment, of which he developed
suclx a remarkable amount, could so gracefully,
10 sincerely, and so magnetically pronounce.'—
Asa piece of composition, whether viewed as a
literary, an argumentative, or nn oratorical pro
duction, this dying address was in all respects no
less a credit to the national reputation of the
sneaker, than it was a vindication and tribute to
the cause and motives that evoked its utterance.
THE FINAL HOTTB.
Alter the delivery of this extraordinary and
nllcctlng address, Mr. Wn Huron relapsed intoa
state of more ease and plncitudo than ho had
manifested .since the beginning of his illness.—
Hu seemed more comfortable in body and mind,
was not either so petulant or restless, and passed
a comparatively easy night, on Friday. On Sat
urday tho condition was the same. * Up to this
time no immediate apprehension of a fata! result
had been felt. Mr. Van Huron's attendants . nd
lie himself, in ids lucid seasons, thought lie v. -iiild
get better on landing and quiekiv rccoM 1 the
tone of ids mind and system. His f. v«.r sIIU > >n
tlnuod.hut his pain was more oce-i-uoua!, On
Saturday evening lie appeared morcL-ipi fnl than
over, and noticed with that eminent cuiirtcsr of
his tho presence and attendance of his dovdccl
niece and daughter, and his friends. Thor ’eft.
him. as was their wont, shortly after 10 P. 51.. in
the expectation of Ills passing a not unusua.ly
easy night. Just before the clock was on the
stroke of eleven, Mr. Van Huron signified to .he
nurse Ills desire to rise, and in proceeding to as
sist him, the nurse saw that Imporeeptiblv, - ut
fearfully rapidly, a decisive change had come t
over tho countenance of the suflerer. He did nm £
speak, nor seem able to do so. The tloridltj had •!
loft his face. His eves appeared vacant. Tho 1 :
was coming. Dr. Price, the surgeon, was called.■ v
He came. As ho supported Mr. Van Huron, nnn
Just iw his, daughter and niece were entering, iu 1
answer to tho summons sent them, his head fell
back upon the pillow and he died without a strug
gle oi; tho least vlsablo pain, a smile spreading
over his face In dissolution, as if it were at last at
rest and in ponce. It was ton minutes past elev
en at night.
HOW THE RADICALS ELECTED THEIR
CONGRESSMEN.
Many of our readers who are notin the
habit of payingpartieular attention to the
figures to be found in an election return
will marvel at the apparent endorsement
by the people of such Congressmen as
O'Neill, Kelly and Myers ; but a little ex
amination allbrds a perfect explanation of
the affair. We stated for several days pre
vious to the election that the Radicals
were colonizing voters extensively into
the doubtful districts, and here is the proof
of the fact. In 1865 the vote cast in the
First Congressional District was 23,504; 6n
Tuesday last it was but 19,581, showing a
decrease of 3,923 votes. No candid man
will allege that there is any falling off of
population in that district, and all agree
that the entire vote on both sides was
brought but all over the city. Where then
did this vote go to ? Mr. Randall’s ma
jority on a poll of less than twenty thous
and.is 4,683, whilst in 1865, in a poll three
thousand five hundred and four greater,
the majority in his district was but 2,428.
These facts show clearly- that a large
portion of the vote of the district was
transferred and that the transferred vole
was altogether Radical. Let us see what
became of it. In 1865 there were 18,601
votes cast in the Second congressional dis
trict, and on that small'poll Mr. O’Neill’s
party had a majority of over 4,000. On
Tuesday last there were 21,184 votes given,
and in this largo poll the same gentle
man’s majority was but 3,324. Two facts
are shown in both these cases; first that
Randall, with a smaller vote oast, was
• VI
more largely endorsed than over, before,
and that O’Neill, with a poll over 1,500
greater, wha endorsed by a majority of 1,-
500 less than in 1864. The Itadical Con
gress, therefore, is not endorsed in this
case.
But let us look at tho Third district. lu
1805 the vote polled was 20,930; on Tues
day' last it was 23,951, an increase of 3021.
In 1805 Mr. Myers' party' had a majority
of 1,558 ; on Tuesday lie was re-elected by
a majority of 1,085; thus showing that if
there had not been three thousand votes
colonized into his district he would have
been badly beaten, and that with the
colonization his conduct is approved by
nearly live hundred less than he was in
1805. Now let ns take tho Fourth dis
trict. In 1865 there were’22,22B votes cast
in that district; on Tuesday' there were
27,601 votes polled. In 1805 Air. Kelley’s
party had a majority of 4,058, baton Tues
day the champion of negro Suffrage was re
elected by a majority of 2,458. Kelly,
therefore is absolutely condemned by T tlio
legal vote of his district. There is no
doubt the system of colonization adopted
and pursued by T tho Radicals, and it is
perfectly clear to every man who will ex
amine the subject carefully, that their
candidates for Congress are all returned
as elected through the operation of a huge
fraud. Congress was not endorsed in
Philadelphia. —Philadelphia Hews.
SPEECH OF VESDEU, PHILIPS.
The Impeachment of President
Johnson Advocated.
SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN DEMANDED.
Boston, October 18.—The second lec
ture of the old Bay State course was de
livered to a crowded audience in Tremont
Temple this evening, by Wendell Pilips,
upon thn 11 Peril of the Hour.” The ap
pearance of Mr. Philips was the signal
for prolonged applause, and being intro
duced, he commenced his address by say'-
ing:
MR. PHILIPS’S SPEECH:
H'liu bad consulted bis health, he would
have sent an excuse. He preferred, how
ever, to bring his own excuse in the shape
of an unfinished performance. One year
ago, he said, when he told an audience
in that hall that the South' meant to ac
complish by diplomacy what she bad
failed lo do by arms, and that the execu
tive was not a power to be conciliated,
but an enemy to be watched. There was
as many there who thought him unduly
suspiciousas there were few now to deny it.
The groat weakness of Democratic"gov
ernment, he continued, was that the
■uas-.-. are impatient to succeed, and it
ibo duty,of all leaders to engraft into
ill.- body politic, the’virtue of its oppo
nents. He said that one year ago he ex
pnysod it as his belief that Jefferson Da
vis never meant to rebel, never intended
to fight the flag or to desert Washington;
that the fatal mistake of the Southern
movement Was that it lost the sure, an
chored elementofneutrglity. Fifty years
since he believed the evidence would be
ample that that was true. They meant
that the North should be rebels while they
held the government. The great dan
ger of the present day was the same as
during the war, when the power of the
South was a bug-bear. There was no
thought outside the national lines to be
feared like the cowardly unreadiness of
the northern masses to accept their prop
er stand. As long ago as last June the
South planned, with the aid of the Ex
ecutive, to place herself just whore the
retreat from Washington failed to place
her in 1861. She has not given up the
intention yet. Fifty years hence he be
lieved there would be no doubt of that
Mr. Johnson may surrender a point, but
the great purpose behind him lives, and
what had the North with which to meet
it? It was said the unanimity displayed
in the recent elections was an evidence of
their power to oppose the danger. The
unanimity, also, of the' leading Republi
cans of the day, who to a man are pledg
ing themselves as thoroughly convinced
of the necessity of impartial suffrage. All
those men wore speaking in favor of im
partial suffrage, but why, ho asked, did.
they not enact their belief into a faith ?”
The remedy for that was to send those
hack to Congress, and fell them to en
act their belief into a statute. .He would
say lo the New York Tribune, the Na
tional Republican Committee, and Con
gress itself: Go back and sit down in the
House of Representatives, and govern the
republic ; and for the first act in that gov
ernment, impeach the President. (Pro
longed applause.) Ho would have the
House of Representatives impeach the
President, place the President of the Sen
ate in his office, and then the people would
run the machine. (Applause.) The great
est trouble in our government was that
no private man df the republic can have
his policy' unchanged lor four years, in
this connection he stated that Henry
Wilson said ho knew in January' last that
the President meant to betray them If
he knew it, said Mr. Philips, why did he
allow the storm to beat upon a few men,
who were standing on the out-posts and
proclaiming what he already knew. That
was not service of the Republic. A great
fault in the past had been the foolish fear
of letting the people know the real fact.—
He believed the people could govern
themselves. Thoreoonstructon which he
wanted to have was to begin immediately'.
It would begin when it was safe for a
Massachusetts man to walk the streets of
New Orleans. They might fill the House
of Representatives with men like Alex
ander H. Stevens an'd reconstruction
would not commence. He would have
the South and Southwest made like the
victorious North. There was no hurry;
the South would wait. Speaking of the
constitutional amendment he denounced
the ins Ttion of the word “males” as a
libel on the nineteenth century'. The de
sertion of the negro made it not only an
unjust but infamous proposition. He
asked whose fault it was that there had
buen such bloodshed and persecution in
ets of "Memphis and New Orleans.
, assorted that the policy of the Presi
dent had something to do with it. But
lent was not all. It was General Grant.
/ A pplanse and hisses.) The most humili
ating position occupied on this continent,
he said, was-by Ulyssess S. Grant. If
they' hud conquered why were not the
streets of New Orleans safe ? If the Pre
sident would not let General Grant pro
tect life and liberty there then General
Grant should resign. Henry' Wilson knew
the President was false and hid it. Gen
eral Grant knew the South was not safe
and allowed it to be. If, said Mr. Philips,
General Grant does not mean to make
the South sate for a' Northern man ho is
not fit to hold his office. If he has not
the means to do so, then he should ask
for them, and if the President did not
permit him to do.it, then he should im
mediately resign his position ns General.
If he does not want to do his duty, then
denounce him as a traitor. What is the
use of our national flag if it means nothing
except in the streets of Boston ; if it does
not mean protection of Northern life and
Northern capital in the South? His
theory, Air Philips said, was that there is
no. President. He is a deserter. The
Legislative power is the power felt. Our
James 11. has abdicated, and Parliament
rules the nation. He wanted Congress
to commence its nextsession as a perpetu
al one. Every' moment that it was not
in session the South was ruling the gov
ernment; aiid ho would have the next
Congress enact that they should reassem
ble in March, 1867, and bo themselves the
government. In conclusion, hosaid: Five
years ago, we had a man in the White
House who called himself a “ public func
tionary.” Who has been engaged in the
lastyeardn explaining to the world why
his treason did not succeed. DU your
duty. We have got a traitor in' the
White House who calls himself “an
humble individual.” Do your duty', and
he will be explaining five years hence
why he did not succeed. |

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE.
Democratic State Committee Rooms.)
Philadelphia, Ocl. 17,1866. J
To the Democracy of Pennsylvania:
In a poll of more than six'hundred and ten
thousand votes, you are beaten less than three
per cent, on the whole, A change of one and a
half per cent, would have given you the State.—
You have reduced the majority of your oppo
nents, and polled nearly t wenty thousand more
votes than ever before. Upon the aggregate of
the Congressional vote, still greater force is
shown.
In this contest you have proven your devotion
to principle, have demonstrated the strength of
your organization, and yield to your enemy a
dearly bought victory.
You are “defeated, but not dismayed.” Buoy
ancy and hope everywhere pervade your ranks,
whilst chagrin and dismay mark the visages of
your opponents.
They Judge you rightly; for, in the light of this
exhibition of your stern devotion to the doctrines
of the Constitution, to the perpetuity of your
-Union, and to the supremacy of your race, the*
rend their coming defeat.
Fur the first-time since the filial disbandment
•of our armies, you have met the forces of the Re
publican organization. They fought lor the life
•ot their party; they concentrated against you
the influence of almost every manufacturer, cor
poration and bank; they had at their command
a large preponderance of the public press of the
•State, speakers without number; nil the money
that a dynasty of contractors—to whom the pub
lic treasury has been a mine of wealth—could
furnish; memories of the war still fresh enough
to be the means of exciting hatred; laws enacted
witli a view to their own political ascendency;
a well-disciplined organization, and all of the ad
vuntagos that the possession of municipal and
Slate power could bring them; and yet, unaided
and self-dependent you have combated this pow
erful combination, and almost carried the State.
All honor and praise to the Democracy of the
Keystone, for this most gallant light..
A band of men, who, in 1808, can poll for their
•candidate 261,000 votes; in 1801, 270,000 votes, and
in 1860, 293,(K)0 votes; who plant themselves upon
.principles that are eternal; who will not despair
ol the Republic, ami who possess "the physical
power and the moral courage to maintain their
opinions and preserve their liberties, must even
tually be the ruling power in the State.
Implicit belief In the Justice and truth of the
yi c.it docf ri nes tluitlicnt the base of our form of
government, aversion to its centralization, and
confidence in the efficiency of the Constitution
fur the preservation of your liberties, have over
distinguished you. These arc* dm magnets around
which you have gathered in many a hard-fought,
contest, and to them you will be trite as the nee
dle to die pole. Opinions of individuals may
change; but,in the future as in the past, come
victory or defeat, as n parly yon will over be
found rallying to these principles as the leading
tenets of your political faith.
Hope, confidence and courage should be gath
ered from the remembrance, that two-thirds of
the white freemen of die Kepublic think as you
do upon these subjects, and that, on every Held
on which they are staked, your united action will
overcome all opposing forces.
■\Ve ask you to persevere in die work so auspic
iously begun. From this hour, let us determine
to go forwaul. Lot us have done with spasmod
ic efforts, and move onward with unflagging en
ergy. . .
ihc thorough and effectual dissemination of
truth, is the proper means to your eventual tri
umph ; and organization, discipline, systematic
eilort and individual- exertion, are the avenues
that lead to victory. Will you pursue them ?
United, disciplined and determined, you will be
irresistible.

' Revolutionary Despatches.
[From the New- York Tribune.]
Bai.timouk, October 17.—There aregcneral fears
among the Union men of the city that there la a
conspiracy on foot, led by Governor Swann, to
remove the Police Commissioners, because they
refuse to appoint judges of election to receive tho
votes of the rebels registered in violation of tho
Constitution and laws of Maryland. This conspi
racy will be resisted by the Union men, when, in
accordance witli an understanding between Gov
ernor .Swann and Andrew Johnson, the latter
will send tho regular army to support the Gov
ernor. It Is feared that a conflict is invltable, un
less the President should be convinced that tho
loyal people of the North, who crushed rebellion
la Maryland in 1801, are resolved to protect her
in the right to her Constitution and laws.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette.]

GREAT FIRE IN QUEBEC.
Quebec, October 15.—At four o’clock yesterday
morning, n Are began in.the house of Mr. Trudoi,
grocer, on St; Joseph street, near the Jacques Car
tier Market. Owing to the early hour of the
morning, few people were about. The wind,
which had blown Haifa gale from the east all
night, had slightly abated, but still continued
with such violence as to cause serious apprehen
sions, which wore afterwards unfortunately real
ized.
15v the time the tiro brigade reached the scene,
Tnidel's house was enveloped in flames. The
sappers were already there, out there was some
delay In laying the hose and getting sufllclont
water, which was not remedied' for nearly an
hour. Meantime the Are made rapid progress;
no less titan ten houses on Are, and the lumber
and wooden sheds on all sides wore ignited.
By i)\< o’clock eighty houses, all built of wood,
were In a blaze. The flames, driven by the wind,
flew speedily lii all directions. At o'clock
over one hundred and llfty houses wore consum
ed.
The tire by this time had run along St. Joseph
and Notre Dame des Agnes streets to the Junc
tion of St. Vallior street, carrying everything be
fore It. The Church of La Congregation stood in
groat danger, but a sudden veering of the wind
saved it.
Crossing St. Vallior street, the flro soon after
spread into St. Sauv.cur, and among its hundreds
of woodonhouses, raged with defiant fury. House
after house fell a prey to the flames. It was
thought that the houses to the eastward would
bo saved, but the flro crept back, continuing Its
work of destruction.
At II o’clock the whole centre of the district
lying between St. Sauveur and the lower streets
running parallel with the river, was a charred
and barren waste, and having nothing to feed on
there the conflagration distributed itself In op
posite directions, the wind increasing againand
blowing in gusts from every direction. These
separate conflagrations were observable at one
time. St. Sauveur Church, Dunn's soap and can
dle factory, Ries’s rope-walk and other largo
buildings wore in flames.
Along St. VaLlier street towards the toll-gate,
and the streets surrounding the General Hosplt- '
al ami Convent, another terrible fire was raging
with even greater fury; while at the back of
Crown street, along Prince Edwards. Jusnit. and
llllard streets, the flames were creeping bark and
enveloping street after street in spile o.* the al
most superhuman exertions of the soldiers and
the seamen of the Aurora.
The conflagration ceased at about 6 o’clock,
when there was nothing more for it to foi tl on.
A moderate computation places the number of
houses destroyed at two thousand five hundred,
and the loss of real property at. from twomillions
and a half tO'three millions of dollars.
Tim number of persons rendered homeless Is
estimated at eighteen thousand.
The body of a man burned almost to a crisp was
dragged out of a house in St. Sauveur, near St.
Vallier street. It could not be identified.
Sergeant Hughes, of the Royal artillery, was
blown up, and badly, though not dangerously
burned.

LOCAL ITEMS
German Reformed Church.— Rev. A.
H. Kremer, of Lancaster city, (formerly
Pastor of this church) will administer the
communion on Sabbathnextatllo’clock,
A.M. Preparatory services on Saturday af
ternoon, at 2 o'clock.
Base Ball. —A match game of base
ball will be played between the “Ama
teur,” of Carlisle, and the “ Whangdoo
dle,” of Shlppensburg, on this Thursday
the 25th inst., on the lot immediately ad
joining the Fair Grounds.
Dedication. —The splendid new Odd-
Fellows’-Hall, recently erected in New
ville, by Gonodoguinet Lodge, will be
dedicated with appropriate and imposing
ceremonies, on Saturday, Nov., 3d. There
will be a procession in full regalia, and
several addresses. Extra trains will run
on the Cumberland Valley Rail Road.
German Reformed Church. —During
the past summer, the members of this
congregation have had their church edi
fice in Louther street beautified and im
proved in a very creditable manner. The
building now presents a mastic front, in
imitation of sandstone; the spire has been
considerably elevated, and has a hand
some gilded cross upon its top, which
adds much to the outward appearance of
tire church. The inside of the edifice has
undergone a thorough repair, being en
larged and remoddled, and mauy addi
tional pews added. It has also been re
painted, and many other tasteful and ne
cessary improvements made. On the
whole, thief is now one of the most chaste
and beautiful Christian temples in the
country.
This congregation is at presen i without
a regular pastor, but we believe they have
frequently religious services, being served
by supplies.
The Latest Fashions.— Since;the in
vention and successful introduction of
the Celebrated Duplex Elliptic [or double]
Spring II nop Skirt by Hr. j. W, Bradley
of New York, the ladies throughout the
country have given up the idea of discar
ding the fashion of wearing hoop skirts
on account of the peculiar and graceful
manner in whir!, the Duplex Skirts adapt
themselves i < every exigency and emer
gency. Sog.- tier:i 1 ly acceptable have these
Skirts I'.r.rn,,, 1 1.., (. the ladies regard them
as a special favorite in view of the.supe
rior flexibility, lightness and durability
combined in their manufacture. They al
so consider them a far more economical
and comfortable Hoop Skirt that ovCrhas
or can be made for all crowded assembl
ages, for the promenade or house dress.
Any lady after wearing one of these Skits
will never afterwards willingly dispense
with their use. Long experience in the
manufacture of Hoop Skirts has proven
to the proprietors of thisinventiou, thaf
single-springs will always retain that
stiff, unyielding and bungling style which
has ever characterized them, whereas the
double spring hoop or the Duplex Eliptic,
will be found free from these objections. 1
Notwithstanding the ability of the man
ufacturers, Messers. West, Bradely • &
Cary, to turn out over six thousand Skirts
per day from their large manufactories in
New York, they feel obliged to request
all merchants ordering the Duplex Elip
tic Skirts, to scud their orders a few days
before they are wanted, if possible, ns they
are always most constantly oversold some
days ahead.

Borough Improvements —For
years past but very little improve!!!
has been made in Carlisle, What with
the excitement occasioned by the
the scarcity of labor, and the high iS
of every description of building
the spirit of improvement op Wre(l ,'
have died out in our ancient borough
Nevertheless, although the “ hatJU ra J.
have prevented many from building m i
-few of our citizens have invested’ their
money in building dwellings for them
selves and tenements, for the accotnmodj!
tion of our increasing population, %
will now proceed to notice such of there,
cently erected buildings as have conn
under our own observation:
On East High street, Mr. Lcldioh hm
erected upon the site of the old Crelgt
property, a very substantial gthree etoiy
brick dwelling house, which is beautiful
ly finished, outside and inside, with all
the modern improvements; and on West
High street, Mr. Robert Given, having
torn away the debris of the “Burnt Tat.
ern,” (Glass’ old stand,) has in progrw
of erection a large brick edifice, ca/cu>
ted for a store and dwelling.' This build.
ing, when finished, from its central loca
tion and from the plan of it as described
to us, will be a really magnificent onej
an ornament to the borough and a credit
to its enterprising owner.
On Centre Square, in the tear of lln
Court House, Mr. F. C. Kramer lias cr
ted a handsome two-story brick rosidena H
This building is finished in a most flint-' H
ough and workmanlike manner. •• K
On East street Messrs. Wm. Batata I
and George Beetem are now erecting four H
neat brick tenements ; and on the same Is
street Mr. George Spangenbergor has pul Bj
up two frame ones. B
On South street Mr. Lewis Faber It B
erecting a two-story brick dwelling house) ■
On Pornfret street Mr. Charles Weaver
is erecting two brick tenant houses, and
on Walnut street, Mr. John GuUhallhM
put up two frame ones. In different
parts of the town there have been a num
ber of small tenements erected, the own
ers of which we do not know, and are
occupied principally by recent impotto
tions of colored people.
It is very evidepf that the population
