tiong. Grant himself, by I>jb reticence*
on all political question's,, induced' 'the 1
untvary, Ulbelicve the i declarations iof
his confidential; adherents." Thousands
of men, .who had become disgusted with
the proscription Tor 'Opinion’s shko'bf
the,.iilncoln administrationj‘ add \yllo
were anxiouS-after our intestine trou-
sea'A better,fetUbg,encouraged,
were pleasoli'with the siren sohg of ,the
conspirators; and they joined in the
chorus, singing ‘‘Grant is no politician.”
Many ; of these men wore moderate Re
public ms, and many were moderate
Democrats—noneof tliem office-seekers.
Most of them had confidence in Mr.
Seymour, and afi acknowledged that
in statesmanship, scholarly attainments
andintello dual endowments he had few
ifaqy equals in our country. In com
parison with poor, simple Grant, h'e
stood in about the relationship that the
lionlstands to the toad. All this was
admitted by the thousands of staid,
sober men who desired quiet and a
fraternal feeling after our then late do
mestic troubles. “ Mr. Seymour is a
politician, and therefore, at this partic
ular juncture in our. history, we cannot
and will not support him ; we will give
our votes to Gen. Grant, because he is
no politician, and who, if elected, \vill
men, without inquiry into their former
political opinions.” Such were the dec
larations of those who sympathized with
the sentiment, “let us have peace,” and
who believed that Gen. Grant’s partic
idar -poke-men spoke the naked truth
when they represented the great smo
ker as “no politician.” These are facts
which will not bo denied by any inteb
ligent man, be his politics what they
may.
But now lot us compare Grant’s pro
fessions with his acts. Was there ever,
in the history of our country, a - more
obsequious tool, a more willing slave to
political sharpers, in the Presidential
chair, than this same man Grant ? To
tiie demands of tho political gamblers,
and desperately bad men of his corrupt
party he crouched and submitted like a
beaten hound, but to the agpeals of jus
tice and honor he is as deaf as an adder.
He, at thebiddingof unscrupulous men,
interferes in State and. Borougli elec
tions, using his patronage to corrupt
and bribe thq support of
contest in Missouri he notified his office
holders and understrappers that he
would remove every man who refused
a cordial support to the “straight-out”
Hadical-black-and-tan ticket. Some of
them having been taught to believe
that they were freemen and lived in a
free country, voted the Conservative
ticket (there was no Democratic ticket
in the Held,) and they wore, promptly
removed by the petty tyrant who di
vides his time between Long-Brandi
and Washington. Again: a Cabinet
officer is removed because he refused to
have his clerks robbed of their salaries
by such incorrigible corruptionists as
• Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Wilson,
of Massachusetts. Tho truth is Grant
is a tool in tho hands of men who make
money by using him. His conduct to
ward the people of the South—we mean
the white people—has been as false as
it has been mean. For parly purposes
he is using his patronage and influence
to keep up a constant irritation and bad
feeling between the whites and the
blacks. The offices in his gift are given
to negroes, without regard to their fit
i ness or worth, whilst tire intelligent
\ white men are disfranchised, ignored
''and insulted. Statesmanship revolts at
this, hut the petty politician regards it
with favor. Pretending to revere “loy
alty,”-he appoints Longstreet Collector
o.f Customs at New Orleans, and Cris
well PnstinasterGcneral, both ex-Rebel
oUlcers, who have been mean enough to
acknowledge equality with their for
mer slaves. But such Union officers as
McClellan, Hancock, fimead, Slocum,
and hundreds of other fighting men dur
ing the rebellion, have to stand hack
without recognition, merely because
their sense of honor" will not permit
them-to endorse the infamous purposes
of the Radical Yankees and thieves
who are now running our government.
Never, wo repeat, had the sharpers and
political gamblers of our country a bet
ter opportunity to gratify their thieving
propensities than they have now, for
Grant is their tool, ready and willing
to be used by them, instead of being
“no politician,” he is a politician of
the worst character, and would jeopar
dise the peace,, prosperity and happi
ness of his country and its people to
serve his rotten and condemned party.
The emphatic rebuke ho received from
an indignant people at the recent elec
tions should admonish him that falsi
fiers and tricksters are not to be tolerat
ed by a free people.
The State of Louisiana, through tho
disfranchisement of largo numbers of
her citizens, was carried, at tho eleciion
on tho Bth inst., by the Radicals. On
the 10th, a negro mob, live hundred
strong, took possession of the town of
Oonaldsvllle, in that State, burned a
portion of it, and murdered the Mayor
and Judge Lawes. The whites who
could not escape were arrested and im
prisoned by , the . negroes. Of course
no'ioby, at this distance from tire scene
ot disorder,' cares a tig about it. It is
in excellent keeping with tho violent
rule of tho present administration, and
reflects great credit on our system of
government. Other nations will bo en
chanted by,the spectacle, and republics
on the military plan will bo tho univer
sal order before many days.

in an enviable attitude in the part ho
took in getting rid of the late Secretary
Cox, u member of his.cabinet. I he
severe eriticirns of the newspaper press
have brouught out the whole corres
pondence on this subject, and the true
cause of Cox’s resignation becomes
I known. It was because Grant inter
fered in. the McG a r rah an claim, and
——l-- ——i uiiKtuin liis Secretary of the
Interior in fighting this fraud. the
Presidenttook sides with thescoundrels
I who were endeavoring to .deprive the
rightful owners of their property, and
forbid the Secretary .toissue a patent to
! them after the courts had decided ini
favor of their title. It was a question
the President had no right to interfere
with, and his ordering.a patent to
"be withheld lays him open the charge
of feeling an interest in the fraudulent
claimant to the JNew Idra Mines. A
number of members of Congress were
interested in McGarrahan’s success,
and, the President listened to them,
whom Cox calls “ our active political
managers.” When the. Secretary be
came convinced that he could not roly
on the President to assist him in fight-,
ing'the rascally “ King”' which sought
to control the Government he felt it
to be his duty to resign, -which he
did. Grant thus drove an honest
man from his cabinet at the in--
stance of the rascals who are trying to
hankrujrt th^Gcwern.men_t^Sonig_i^c^_
that Grant was paid to interfere in the
McGarrahan claim. Whether guilty or
not his conduct lays him open to sus
picion. Of course the leading Radical
newspapers side with Grant and the
“ Ring.”
THE RECENT ERECTIONS.
The State elections, held a week or
two ago throughout the country, have
resulted most unfavorable to the Radi
cals, and may bo regarded as a sharp
rebuke, rather than an endorsement of
the Administration. President Grant
used every means in his power, and
even stretched his authority beyond the
limits of the. law, in order to avert this
disastrous verdict of tiro people against
him, hut in spite of money levied on
office-holders, the negro vote, and the
menace of niilitary interference at the
polls, the voice and,will of.tho electors
have.triumphed over corruption, frecd
men’s billots, and Federal bayonets.
This is the beginning of the end of a
political party which has held uncon
trolled sway of the Government for
about ten years without accomplishing
any good at all proportionate to the evil
and the inischief it has caused,--a.nd
which now is literally crumbling to
pieces, like many other kindred organi
zations that have diss- Ived in the rot
tenness engendered by prosperity and
power too long and too absolutely en
joyed. It is not worth while just now
to go into any elaborate and detailed
estimate of the losses suffered by the
Radicals and the gains made by the
Democracy. Suffice it to say, that the
latter will have in the next Congress a
largely increased vote in the House, with
no inconsiderable accession of strength
in the Senate, arid witli a prospect of
ultimately achiovingan ascendency that
will enable thorn to restore to the nation
the blessings of constitutional govern
ment,-the reign of peace, union and
harmony throughout its borders, the
re-established rights and liberties of the
States and tiro people, andftM inaugur
ation of a bettor era for e,
industry and finances of the Republic.
The York True Democrat (what a
name for a Radical black and-tan pa
per!) is of opinion that our government
acted entirely too leniently with the
le iding Southerners engaged in the late
rebellion. Tho prominent characters
should have been hanged, the Democrat
thinks. Well, had they been hanged,
what would Grant have done for a
Post-Master General,an Attorney Gen
eral and a Collector for Now Orleans?
Tho gentlemen who hold these, ro
sopnsible offices wore ‘ prominent char
acters” in the rebellion—all of them of
ficers in tho Confederate army. Long
street particularly (now collector at
New Orleans,) was Lee’s right-hand
man at the battle of Gettysburg, and
boasted of having killed more “Yanks”
than any other Rebel officer. Tho
Radicals, then, htld better not insist that
tho“prominontchiiractors” oftiie rebel
army bo hanged, for a compliance with
this suggestion would send to tho gal
lows the leading men of tho Radical
party, and that would ruin Grant.

i»r three days after her disappearance, the
dead body of the little girl, bearing un
mistakable marks of having been out
raged and choked, waa found lying among
the weeds at the edge of a shallow pond,
in an open lot, a few squares from her
home. The news caused great excite
ment, but all efforts to find the murderer
lulled, {Several persons had seen a man
carrying a bundle in the dnectiou ot the
pond u'l a very euily hour, and the same
man had been seen to return, but - he
could nut he. identified by any oi the par
lies. A young barber named John Han
lon, residing near the. home of tbo mur
dered child, waa suspected of the crime,
and arrested, hut nothing could be proved
against him. and he was discharged. A
Jew months afterwards, Hanlon, who
gave his name as Charles Hanlon, ami
afterwards as. Charles Harris, waa con
victed of committing a rape upon a lilt e
girl In Germantown, and sentenced to
live years’ imprisonment in Moyainen
.sing. Alderman Heins, who had never
ceased to suspect the prisoner, went to
see the man Harris, ami .at once recog
nized him as John Hanlon. A further
investigation of the Mohrmann case now
pointed still more strongly to Hui.Ni as
the guilty'pmty, ami-ho-was put upon
Ins trial lor the offence.
A' fellow prisoner, named Dunn, re
cently swore.that Hanlon confessed ihe
crime, will ah its d.aguslhig details, to
him. According to this statement, he
bad disguised himself, persuaded ..dary

Lbe excitement had partially died out.
when-hedisguised himself, as before, in
false hair and whiskers, and deposited
tiie body in the.pond, going and return
ing, as testified to by the witnesses, at an
early hour on that morning. The de
fence attempted to prove an alibi, and
also produced evidence tending to' show
that I)unn hud coueocied Hie story of the
confession* Irom having rpad an account
of Hie affair in the Police Gazette and the
Philadelphia Inquirer; ' but this ■ story •
was found to be false by lbe jury, and
the evidence of oilier witnesses for the.
defence was proved to be equally unrelia
ble. On Tuesday last, at BP. M the
jury retired, and after being out from"
Tuesday evening to Thursday morning,
they . rendered a verdict of “guilty of
murder in the first degree,'which the
prisoner heard without visible emotion.
The death sentence will no douhtsoon be,
passed, and not too soon to suit Hie pub
lic, who justly thin 1c that sucli a man as
Hanlon is as unfit to he at I *rge, or even
to have a possible chance of escape from
incarceration, as a wolt, would he to run
at large in a sheepfold. For coldblooded

The detection of the*murderer through
Ids own confession, at a lime wlieii he
thought himself secure against further
prosecution, is not the least remarkable
feature of the case, and goes to prove that
ihe way of the trangressor isindeed hard,
that tiie vengeance of God never sleeps,.
and that the detection and punishment
of the most cunning criminal is only a
question of lime.
Death op Senator Watt. —Win.
W. Watt, State Senator from the First
district, died at his residence in Phila
delphia on last Friday morning. Mr.
Watt was about fifty years of age; and
has long been prominent in the local
politics of this Slate. In the fall of 1809
he ran as the Republican candidate for.
State Senator against Alex. J. Diamond.,
When the Return Judges rael an out
rageous fraud was perpetrated, whereby
Mr. Diamond was deprived of the cer
tificate of election to which he was en
titled, he having received a majority of
the votes cast. This gave rise to one of
the.most exciting contested election ca
'ses which ever occurred in Pennsylva
nia. Finally the committee, which was
largely Republican, decided in favor of
Walt.'
The death of Mr. Watt at this time
leaves the State Senate a tie between
the Democrats and the. Republicans.
Hon. Harry While, the Speaker of the
Senate can order an election to fill the
vacancy in the First district, but ho is
not compelled to do so. At the election
held in October tire Republicans had a
majority in the district. Should an elec
tion be ordered to fill the vacancy there
will no doubt bn a vigorous contest, as
the control of the Senate will depend
upon the result.
