amerintu 4elunivm CARLISLE, PA., I’hnmday Morning:, October 54,1807. DABBLING IN POLITICS AGAIN. The papers Inform us that a delegation of the Maryland Synod of the English Lutheran Church, which lias been in session at Washington for some days past, called neon General Grant, at his residence, on the afternoon of the 14th inst., for the purpose of informing him that they (the preachers,) were more wedded to politics than to religion, and that they desired to see him (Grant,) I*—.M.-r.e , success. In order to do so the more effectually, they make a scapegoat of, and hawl lustily for the man who, of all others, they would not have chosen one month ago. If any thing more was required by the people to convince them that the Radical lea ders think more of power and patronage than they do of the prosperity and ele vation of the country, this last dodge should be sufficient.. HSyWill Gen. Grant allow himself to be made a tool of by a set of thieving, conniving, disunion politicians? Is he so dishonest, so unscrupulous, so igno rant of his own unfitness for civil office, so subservient'to the selfish purposes of demagogues aud parties, as to consent to give up his present high and inde pendent position, for the doubtful hon or and more than doubtful chance of being chosen President of the United States ns the candidate of the disunion party? If lie will, then he will prove himself an absolute ass. Hon. Lewis,D. Campbell, of Ohio, formerly a prominent Radical member of Congress, and more recently United States Minister to Mexico, in a late speech at an interior town of Ohio, came out strongly, and even indignantly, against negro suffrage, and put himself upon the platform of conservatism gen erally. This is another indication of tlie change in public sentiment, produ ced by the evident intention of the men leading the Radical party to change this government from a republic to a des potism. The people lire paying Gen. Sheridan about $OO a day for military services.— Witli vanity supreme, and aspirations for the Presidency which is very far be yond his reach, he is showing himself around the country, instead of attending to his duties. But while he is visiting and electioneering in Now England, the people are thundering warning in Ids ears. Wade and Chase have been quarrel ling for 'some years us to which of them should have the leadership in Ohio.— The people have settled it by repudiat ing both. They have turned Wado out of the Senate, and rejected the negro amendment, which Chase, neglecting his Judicial duties at Washington, went out to Ohio to carry by fifty thousand majority! The Democracy have accepted their great victory with a calm moderation which is in marked contrast with their opponents. There have been no insults offered, no molestation of .any man in his business, no attempt at proscription for political opinion. This is as it should lie, and is only another evidence of the propriety of effecting a change. Hdnnicutt’s interpretation oflladi cal “ reconstruction” is, that a girl, or boy ton years old, or an aged or infirm old man or woman of sixty, (negro, of course,) can apply the match or torcli as easily as a robust man of twenty-five.” A little of the drum-head code should be the deserts of that fellow. It is reported that the wealthy bank ers of the East do not yet despair of making Chief Justice Chase President 1 They propose to be quiet until the spir it of the late campaign subsides, when they expect to renew their golden con jurations in hia behalf. The Radicals declared before the elec tions that the election of Judge Will iams was necessary to sustain Congress. Judge Williams being defeated, Con gress is condemned ond must change its policy. Tub New Albany (Indiana) Court lately granted a divorce to a man named Ranks, on the ground that his wife was a victim to kloperaauia—an irresistible desire to steal. Why not call It Radi calism ? Judge Thurman will probably be elected to take Ben Wade’s place in the U. 8. Senate. nos. wii.i.i a-i a. n iuarr.

Wc have no desire to find fault with Mr. Wallace, Chairman -of the State Committee. We have known him long and well, and know him to be a zeal ous Democrat and a gentleman of high character. As to the “able and ener getic manner 1 * with which ho 4v tiis> j charged all his duties,” however* we of 1 Cumberland “can’t sco it.” During j the late political coutest we never hoard from Mr. Wallace, never received a doc ument from him, nor did we-know that a State Committee was in existence.— We fought our own battle, gaveShars wood 780 majority, being a gain of 2U'i ou last year’s vote, and this was the work of the Democrats of Cumberland, and to them alone belongs the victory we achieved. The State Committee neglected usaltogother, and wo Imveno thanks therefore to return to that body. Snntn Anna's Co'jd Lack. It is reported Mexico that the case of Suntu Ad*,i;i Inis been disposed of.

He may go back to his cr, c k-fi,rhts a t St. Thomas, and thank the Inek which basso often extri cnUtyj him from difficulties. Antonio L'jpez De Santa Anna is now in the ’seventieth year of his age, and may pos sibly survive the period of his banish ment, but if he has any discretion he will renounce the vanities of the world and address himself seriously to prepa ration for a future state. He has been banished or compelled to leave Mexico, four times, and was once a prisoner to the United States. He has. headed suc cessful and unsuccessful revolutions, has been in supreme power and has been deposed. •At times a lawful officer, at times an insurgent, he has been alter nately an object of idolatry and of exe cration to the Mexican people. His last attempt was the most senseless and in sane of any in which he has been en gaged, and to pity rather than to justice does he owe his release. It will be well if he heeds the lesson and foregoes the restless ambition which has been his bane. OUR PYRAMID. y~.µ.,.. tiaL": l: ii :..

The reign of tenor is about played out. The Cincinnati Ouzeltc, (Radical,) says: “A deadly political simoon seems to have swept over the State, turning our great Republican majority into dry bones.” We had a touch of the'same “simoon” in this Slate, and there is a terrible shaking among the dry hones of the Radical party. Otis Democratic friends of Schuylkill county, owing to sqiiabblings among themselves, lost their Shoritf and Treas urer; the former by 333 majority, and the latter by 1,039. For Treasurer, Conrad Seltzer, an Independent Demo cratic candidate is elected over the regu lar nominee, and for Sheriff, Gen. Wyn koop, a Republican, is elected over Con rad Gruber. Bancroft and Bruce.— When the late Sir Frederick Bruce was asked whether lie was not very much shocked and offended by Bancroft’s attack on his government in the Lincoln eulogy, lie replied: “Oh no! When Igo to see a savage put on his paint and dance a war dance, I ran not surprised at any of Ins antics.” Aiiopt a third pf the whole number of Government prisoners on the Dry Tortugas, off the Florida coast, have died of yellow fever this summer.— Among those who have died is O’Laug lin, who was sent there for complicity in the Assassination plot of President Lincoln. Stanton was engaged to make a con gratulatory speech to the Pliiliadeiphia Loyal Leaguers on election night. He was dined and wined preliminarily, but when the returns came in, Stanton and the leaguers and the lights went out. The New York Times speaks of the Democratic party as “a united and pow erful enemy” to the Radicals. A little while ago the Times was ridiculing the Democratic party as defunct. Ben Wade is going out of tlie Senate, and they-say Brownlow is going in. It is the old story of onesatau cast out and one seven times worse returning. There wore several shocks of earthquake in East Tennessee last week.— Exchange, There was one in Pennsylvania on the Bth Inst, Radical editors boast of “ victories in the South " —where negroes do the vo ting! Nothing else seems to be left them. Tug Cincinnati Inquirer nominates Hon. George H. Pendleton for tlie next Presidency. • At the Mobile “ election” 32 whites and 3,039 negroes voted.

So he commissioned an agent to proceed to Fort Delaware to receive the ballots of regular soldiers, formerly citizens of this State, perhaps.

Gen. E. D. Jbmuenrt, Assistant Adjutant General: I was In Philadelphia when the election occur red here. Col. Howard, who was In command, reports that a citizen presented himself hero with a commission from Gov.

I add, on my own authority that I have ascertained that alarge pro portion of themcn voting had no vote In the State under any circumstances. It is said only thlrty tliree(33) votes were polled, while over a hundred (IU0) wore returned. No otllccrs were concerned one way or the other in this election. (.Signed) U. H. Morgan, Brovot Brig.

On Saturday last the injunction re straining the return judges of Philadel phia from counting in the returns of the election the bogus returns of a soldier vote from Fort Delaware, was taken up, and witnesses were examined. Mr. T, O. Webb was sworn and testi fied as follows: “ These returns were received at thoProthonoto ry’« ofllcoonthellthof Octoberotraldday; they did not corao by moll, but were brought by two persons, who represented themselves to bo com missioners appointed for the purpose; did not know the persons; never saw them before; could not tell whether the Return Judges had counted these returns; Mr. Hancock, the president of the hoard, had filed a return, but it la sealed, and'it 1b not known what It contained." Mr. Thomas 13. Reeves, was sworn and testified as follows: “ I am clerk In the Prothonotary's oflice of the Court of Common Pleas; these returns were brought to me yesterday, and I made copies of them and sent them to the Return Judges • don’t know who the parties were; the returns were open, not. inclosed in an envelope; they were not scaled; all that the person said was that there was a return from Fort Delaware; would know that person If I saw him; have seen him In the ollico frequently before the election. The man did not say lie was authorized to bring the re lurh; he merely said they were returns from Ft. Delaware." Justice Thompson remarked during the proceedings, that prhua facie the fraud appeared to bo so gross and pal pable that he issued the injunction, and as Clio case aiumi, ulieu the five clays were up, he would confirm the injunc tion. The Justice fnrlhor stilted that it ap peared to be thought that return judges wore merely ministerial ofllcers ; it was overlooked that they were judges, and had the right to exercise some judgment in the reception of returns. The judges were not in court, and a rule was entered to show cause why au attachment should iiotissue for contempt, returnable on tho 15th. There were one hundred and thirteen (113) of these bogus soldier votes counted for Judge Williams, which when sub tiacted from the total poll of that candi date, will make Judge Sharswood’s ma jority correspondingly greater.

The proposition to raise a subscription for Mrs. Lincoln’s benefithas received the sanction of that lady, and about five hun dred letters have been addressed to prom inent politicians and colored clergymen, calling upon them for donations. A book has also been opened in Mr. Brady’s rooms on Broadway, where her wardrobe is on exhibition, for the same purpose. The stream of visitorsstill continues, although but, few purchases are made. Among those daily to bo seen-in the establish ment Is Mrs. Elizabeth Kcckley, a Wash ington fnodustc, who was also the milliner of Mrs Lincoln, when that distressed and ill-used person was the Lady of the White House. She remarks rather plausibly that no such out-cry is made in France when the Empress of the French sells her wardrobe, and as Eugene never wears the same court dress twice, and being the acknowledged leader of the fashion, her cast off raiments fetch enormous prices, and on the day appointed for the sale ex travagant bids are offered, so in reality she rather makes than loses by these rap-* id changes of toilet. Mrs. Lincoln, how ever, is under a number of disadvantages in selling her wardrobe, as she neither was nor is a loader of fashion, and In ad dition her dresses wore bought at a period when gold was at 2.50, and everything selling at double its value oven in green backs. Now, dry goods are worth about a third of what they then cost, and in ad dition to that, being second hand, people expect to got them for less price, ahe al so remarked that people here had not that reverence for loyalty and former greatness as iu Europe, nor do they pay particular respect to relics, and a new dress has in their eyes much more value lhan the old raiment of the widow of a martyred President.

As a last resort they would call on reception days, and Mrs. Lincoln would often be surprised to bo asked by a perfect stranger, “ Mra. President Lin coln, I hope you admired that set of furs I sent you lately.”' “ Oh, was it you sent thorn,” she would reply; “really I am at a loss to thank you foryour kindness ” “Notat all, madam, it was but a slight and worthless token of the deep esteem 1 htyvo for the talents of one whoso intrinsic merit would, irrespective of your present exalted position, make you an ornament in the highest circles of the most civilized society.” Thus bespattered with fulsome flattery from aWile politician! who would insidiously ask for a favor, she, after re ceiving his present and believing his flat tering, would And it difficult to refuse The following subscriptions for the re lief of the family of Mr. Lincoln were yesterday entered on the book kept for that purpose at Mr, Brady’s rooms: John M, Harrington. ta,/*, TpSavo Nntlonul Disgrace, raai llltr y' The )ur\* was impounded, the old Do mooraev of Ohio were the prosecutors.

It Is easy, however, to trace it to the atrocious teachings of the , vile,Radical incendiaries, now here more recklessly vile and unprincipled than in the city of Baltimore, stimulating the unbridled passions of'the ignorant and excitable negro race- torthe perpetration of the blackest crimes,-that ill-begotten wickedness can .conceive. '-'’The forbearance of the white people of Baltimore under the circumstances, and the promptness and efficiency of the po lice in preventing an imminent' and ter rible riot, are truly to be commended, os is also the immediate order of the police authorities prohibiting all procsssionsor assemblages of armed men within the limits of Baltimore, other than the regu larly organized militia of the Stale, ami forbidding parades by night of bodies of men, whether armed or unarmed, with out special authority from the proper oill cera. ... Similar outrages have too frequentlyof late been perpetrated by armed bodies of negroes in mauyof the Southern cities, and have compelled the promulgation, in many instances, by the military com manders or their subordinates, of orders precisely similar to those issued by the Baltimore Board of Police- The assem blage of armed negroes throughout the State of Louisiana had become a source of so much danger to the public peace, that Gen. Mower, commanding, long ago issued an order of this description. .Simi lar orders have, we believe, been found essentia! to the public peace in Mobile, Savanah, Richmond, and other cities, where negro riots have often required the interference of the federal troops. The lesson from all this is plain. The bXcess to which the Radical incendiaries are everywhere stimulating their passive and ignorant dupes, the Ireedmen, will recoil upon the latter, and invoke upon them a terrible punishment. The laws must be enforced. Thepublio peace must be maintained, even at the expenses of curtailing the licentiousness of the newly freedmon, .the pots of the Radical faction, now rapidly becoming powerless itself. 307,274 290,090 '17,17* 207,740 200,824 Itwould be well forthepoliceauthorite* of this District to ppuder upon the facta presented. It is stated that the uego population here have been for some time secretly arming themselves. There has been no provocation for such a proceed* log and it certainly, bodes no good to the public peace. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. National Intelli gence?. The late negro voting in Alabama upon the question of holding a conven tion to decide upon the Congressional plan of reconstruction, exhibited the fact that the colored men marched to the polls in regular military stylo, un der the working of tho machinery of tho secret Loyal Leagues. Every negro un derstood that he was subject to punish ment for neglecting to vote, or for depo siting his ballot in opposition to the command of his leader. Before leaving the lodge room a ballot was placed in the hand of each freedman, and he do*- posited that under a sworn obligation. This is freedom of the elective-franchise when applied to the negro. This is the manner m which the radicals, expect to rule white men in ten States of the Union. And what ia done ip tho case of the negroes in the South will bo done with the same race in the North, if Sen ator Wilson’s bill is enacted into a law. They will be drilled by the League, and their votes thrown in a body against White -men and their interests. This black movement is “scotched, not kill ed,” and white men must prepare for the great battle in 1868,— • ' Spurious Boxes. —The New York speaking of the spurious gov ernment bonds, quietly and grimly saysj J AVnfei U * P lark » 9 hlef of tho Printing Bureau .V’ 1011 * P°} uta out numerous dlll’erences petweou the original seven-thirty notes and w i£ h tho dupllcut numbers, discovered last °no-knowB tho exact difference be olerkaforesaid ls ?
