TELE PunLic DEBT.—General Grant uses the same tactics in the business of reducing the public debt that he used in business of reducing Richmone—persist 'ent hammering. The statement for Oct ober knocks off another chip of nine mil lions from the huge total. ME Democracy of Columbia and the soreheads did not turn out in strength on Saturday morning. Even the amiable Editor of the _fferald.remained at home till noon, going down in the afternoon train "on business ?" Ilow the rats de sert the sinking ship. What a complete fizzle it was. ME Democratic Swindle of 'Tepeat ing" is to be tried on a large scale in Philadelphia, at the approaching election. Gangs of men from New York and New Jersey have been hired for the occasion. One man by the name of Hardy bad himself registered sixty times in as many different precincts. The Philadelphia Post says :—" There is the best reason to be _litre that in every closely contested ward in the city falseregistration on the largest scale has been systematically conducted to elect the Democratic candidates."

Con gress and the Legislature must have loyal representatives—not polished mongrel's.— This cry of "Independent Reform' , is only a copperhead cloak, under which it is intended to hide a multitude of sins. Go to the polls and do your . whole • duty. THE copperheads, who pronounced the war a failure, who cursed the Union sol diers as "Lincoln hirelings," and who exulted over every rebel victory have a County Committeewho on Monday last met in Lancaster and • ' Resolved, That the Democoatic County Committee approve of and endorse the ticket nominated at the - Convention as sembled in Fulton Hall on Saturday last; and that we recommend it to the earnest and undivided support of the Democratic voters of Lancaster county. In the light of this we ask how - any re publican can so forget the past madness and treason of the copperheads as to vote the so-called independent ticket. Shultz and Armstrong are in bad company. ALL over the State the democracy and the free-traders are co-operating in de feating protection candidates. In John Cessna's district, thousands of dollars of British gold are _used by the free trade agents to defeat Cessna and elect Meyers, the copperhead candidate. Twenty-five thousand dollars have been sent into Co vode's district to check his prospects, and if possible to elect his opponent, an out and-out free trader. So goes the democra cy. In Lancaster county, they are unit ing with a few sorehead republicans, who dare not give expression of their opinions on the tariff, to defeat Mr. Dickey. The record is clear, the democracy, are pledged for free trade. Is there honesty enough among our few democratic iron masters in Columbia to vote against this storm of free trade noW'sweeping over the land. • Workingmen. of Columbia, if you want free trade and low wages vote with - the democratic party, and for democratic can didates. If you want protection to home indus try, plenty 'for your families, and gooc wages for yourselves, vote with the Re publican patty. A Full Vote Here is good advice from the Chester County Village Record, and we ask every Republican to read it, and dO what it says: A full vote in Pennsylvania is aßepub lican victory. • Our opponents, count on the apathy of the Republicans. They will be disappointed. A wise party, zealous for the national prosperity will never be caught napping. They will put forth their whole strength. The ballot box is the enemy of tyrants. It is the bulwark of the people. . Let the people stand to it. It is the guardian genius of a free people. While the people are true to the ballot box their rights can never be trampled on. It is their shield and safeguard, in peace and in war. Republicans of: Chester county! —See to it that every man is at the polls. The time for preparation is' short. But it is ample if it be well employed. Every township should be canvassed, and every man urged to discharge his duty by turn ing out at the polls. There is something for every man to do. A full vote is a Re publican victory. The members of the County Committy, especially, have a re sponsible duty. The honor and the in terests of the party are in their hands. They must work but in their work they are entitled to the aid and encouragement of all true men, and it will- be cordially extended to them. BaTN or Shine be at the polls on Tues day next. Bring out your neighbor.— Stir ,u p the lukewarm—confirm the waver ing—and encourage the active and vigi lent. ia 4 .2 • Tllll Columbia Herald, calls Col. Shoch, Sohn K. Reed, Henry:Nl. 'Engle and other true republicans "Thugs," and represents them as "knuckling to the tail end of Thuggery." Of course, anything, gentle men. .Editor Republicans vote early. Make you'r ar rangements to be early on the election ground. Vote, and see that your neigh: , hors vote. Watch the opposition. Sec that no fraudulent votes are polled. See that no thoughtless Republicans are im posed upon by false representatives or spurious tickets. REPUBLICA:N.: VICTORIES.-All the fall elections held thus far in the North, the West, and Southwest, have resulted in- Republican victories. First came the echo from the green hills of Vermont of a sweeping triumph ; then Maine, the "Star of the East," followed with anoth er emphatic majority ; then the golden territory of Colerado elected the entire Republican ticket, and, lastly, "Wyoming repudiated her Democratic majority of last year by casting a handsome one for the Republicans. Under this caption the Copperhead smut machine of this place treats all re publican nominees for otlice, who are in dependent enough to decline nomination on the sorehead ticket. We learn for the first time, that Col. Shoch, John K. Heed, Daniel Brown, Henry 31. Engle or Hen ry Baumgardnei were thugs. You've struck the wrong men that time. They are good republicans, and the County Committee did right in requiring an ex pression from them. SOMETHING IkIISSED.—The publishers of the Phrenological Journal, or the Day's Doings, missed a splendid opportunity on Saturday for beautifying the pages of their respective publications. What a splendid tableau it would have made to have pho tographed the officers of the Independent meeting. The imperial and Shaksperian Spencer in the foreground, flanked by the radiant Shultz and the bold immigrant boy from the Emerald Isle, Jemmy Peo ples : and in the background, Honest Andy and his big stick, would have made a picture that all posterity would have honored and admired. As no artist,how ever, was present, the glowing picture can only be preserved in the recollection of the forty-two persons who witnessed it. —Examiner al Iferala. The Kansas Democracy, in their State platform, call for the reduction, if not ab olition, of the hateful and oppressive in ternal revenue taxation. The Democracy of Illinois, in their State platform. in effept demand the re peal of the tariff, which would strike off all external, or import taxation. Between these two "planks" we great ly wonder what kind of taxes the De mocracy would levy. To adopt either is to repudiate the public debt, destroy the. National credit, and stop the wheels of Government. To advocate both at once, is quite consistent with Democratic tac tics in different localities, and about as near uniformity in creed as they ever get. In Kansas, they want a tariff and no in ternal taxes, while in Illinois they want internal taxes and, no tariff. Do the leaders really know what they' cant '1 THE attendan6 and exhibit is at the late exposition of texile fabrics held in I _lndianapolis took strong ground in favor of protecting American industry, and ap proved the principal of fair and just Pro tection to home industry, not only as ap plied to woolens, but to other branches of production, and manufactures, opening the way for competition, for fair wages, for increase of home trade, home market, healthy foreign trade, and the best , good of the people. Resolutions were adopted as follows : Resolved, That we recognize the Free- Trade movement as. a struggle on the part of our British competitors for the control and possession of our markets by breaking down our new industries, which control would be disastrous to our indus try and finances. Resolved, That we ask the Free Trad ers to take open ground for free trade and low wages—the latter being the inevitable result of their theory—and no longer claim or pretend to be friends of the work ingman, when in fact they are his enemies. and their success will reduce him to the pauper pay of British factory workrnen.or deprive him wholly of enjoyment. We publish such portion of the proceed ings of the National Labor Convention as has reference to the question of Pro tection to home industry. While in terms the Convention declares for a -Rev enue Tariff, it is so defined as to give it the character and effects which belong to Protection, and the debate upon the plat form shows that the advocates of Free Trade opposed it and were overwhelming ly defeated. If this Convention had authority to speak for the workingmen of the country, we have the assurance that Free Trade has but few friends in the ranks of labor. Among the grievances, of which com plaint is made by the toiling masses of the country, no;inention is made of the tariff which protects their industry against the competition of foreign workmen, who must content themselves with greatly in ferior wages. A tariff for revenue, " which will " Develop the resources of the country, " Increase the number of factories. Give employment to more laborers, " Cause the immigration of skilled labor, " The lessening of prices to consumers, " The creating of a permanent home market for agricultural products. " Destroy the necessity for the odious and expensive internal taxation, and " Soon enable us to compete with the manufacturers of Europe in the markets of the world," Is quite as good a tariff as we could ask for, and precisely what the country needs. We will not imaiTel with a word, where the meaning is plain, and we endorse the workingmen's tariff platform, and adopt it as our own. In other matters the Convention dis played much benevolence of intention,but little practical wisdom, and we shall com ment more fully upon its proceedings hereafter. The presence of women and colored men as delegates is significant of a liberality of sentiment which has not heretofore characterized trade organiza tions, and many wordy vagaries may be pardoned where there is such satisfactory evidence of enlightenment and progress.— It is-noticeable that the colored delegates showed much readiness in debate and ex ercised considerable influence upon the proceedings of the Convention—the pas sage of the Tariff plank of the platform, as reported, being in a great degree at tributable their advocacy of it.—lndus trial Vote Estrly. `Thugs in Council." Democratic Consists-my The, Labor Question. IN Adams county, Copperhead meetings are called, and only "white men" are in vited. In Louisiana, on the other band, there were colored delegates in the recent Copperhead State Convention; and even in Maryland, there is such a thing to he seen as a " colored "Copperhead meeting. Such brazen inconsistency and hypoc risy could only occur in one party in this country.—Gettyshurg Star. Protection or Free Trall e. That is the question. Every vote for Dickey is a - vote for Protection ; for steady work to our mechanics ; for prosperity to the hearths of workingmen. 'Every vote against Dickey is a vote for Free Trade; for the extinction of our fur nace fires ; for turning our mechanics out of employment ; for reducing our labor ers to beggary. THE mule ticket won't win. All the Republicans have declined except one or two. Homy M. Engle, John N. Reed, Hen ry Baumgardner, John J. Fry, Cyrus Ream, and Col. Shoeh have already de clined. Here is Col. Shoch's letter ;it has the ling of the true metal. Such prompt action will teach copperheads that we love none but true Republicans : COLUMBIA, PA., OCt. 3, 1370. John M. Stehman. Esq., Chairman of the County Committee—Dear Sir : I ob serve by the papers that, at a political convention held in Fulton Hall on the first instant, I was nominated as a can didate for the oflice of County Auditor upon an independent ticket. This was done without my solicitation,. and is mi. authorized. As lam not m sympathy with - the movement, I decline "the soft impeachment," Always claiming to be a thorough Republican, and havin g ac cepted a nomination for that oilicefrom the Republican party,l will unhesitatingly give my unqualified support to the ticket settled by that party on the 27th of Au gust, at the primary election, mid no other. Very respectfully, SAML. Snocu Tile Duty of tine German Repub. licans The time of the autumn elections is be fore the - door. With it comes to all faithful Republican citizens the stern duty, once again to testify by the weight of their votes in favor of our principles, acknowl edged to be true and right. This time we have to regret a split in our own ranks. The little baud of bolters who, by obsti nacy and inordinate self-conceit, shows disatisfaction, shuns no means of malig-, fling the candidates nominated by our party,and imputes sordid and impure mo tives and intentions to them. But fortu nately we know how baseless these impu tations are, how they can scarcely cast a shadow of a stain upon the men who, through the confidence of the Republican party, have been nominated to 1111 these important offices. But it is nevertheless even yet of the greatest importance that all true Republicans shall work diligent ly in order that the chances of victory may not be imperilled through the lukez warmness for the good cause. The Ger mans know well enough the motives of the opponents of our party. And should it not he known by every German citizen that ill order to achieve a respected por tion in the adopted Fatherland, we Ger mans here in the United States must take an active part in public affairs ? The history of the American civil war has shown in which camp th e Germans fought. The flag under which they then battled, still waves over.• us at the present mo ment. The same principles for which they gave so freely of the means and and blood, are still unchangedly upheld by us. Therefore, let us hold fast togeth er. In Union there is strength.—Fre heit's Freund. War Sl3m ry. • A. dispatch from London states' that couriers from the English and Russian government bringing despatches are daily passing between their respective cap itals and the Prussian headquarters.— From what has been ascertained as to the policy proposed, it is believed that both these governments are paving the way to an armistice. Advice front Berlin state that the citi zens in large numbers have petitioned the King not to expose himself to personal danger at the siege of Paris. His Majes ty has replied that he has taken his decis ion, which is that he will not return to Berlin until the war is terminated. Paris is surrounded by trenches, rifle pits, barricades, and other temporary de fences. The villas in the suburbs and the walls of cottages are loop-holed for rifles. The foreign Legion-bas left Tours, but its destination is unknown. Minor engagements are reported. There was a sharp encounter yesterday morning at NibeLs-Chambou. No result is given. A serious engagement occurred in the forest of Fontainebleau. near Chailly, on Tuesday. The French army non• in Algeria,num bering 37,000 men, demands to be recall ed to resist the Prussians.

The besieged are constantly sending up balloons. Affairs in Strasburg have resumed their ordinary course so promptly that -corres pondents say it is difficult to realize late events. The rumor of the death of Von Moltke is not confirmed. Large armies are forming in' the south of France. The manifesto purporting to have been written to the Emperor of Wilhelmshobe, on the 26th ult., is unquestionably bogus. The French assert that a great genera died recently at Rheims, and it is sup posed, from the fact the persons who took care of him were menaced with death if they if they divulged the secret, to have been Von Moltke. The corporation of Berlin has voted a handsome sum for the relief of the peo ple of Strasburg. The Queen is a heavy subscriber. A garrison has been placed in the city of Muhlhaus. M.

The French-Prwoduivi War. TILE MILITARY SITUATION Torus, Oct. 3.—The news from Metz again confirms the reports of the excel lent condition of Bazaine's army. LONDON, Oct. 3.—Later advices from the Prussian headquarters around. Paris show that the army is quietly closing in around the city. They have made no. ef fort thus far to bombard. General Von Terten has been appointed Governor of Strasbourg.. The garrison consists of 10,000 men. The Canal de l'Oured has been drained by the Prussians, in order to deprive the Parisians of water. S dispatch from Colmar, a few miles below Strasbourg, dated on Sunday, says another body of Germans has' crossed the Rhine. A. corps of 100,000 Germans is now forming at Toni. This force is designed to operate against Lyons. Another account from Paris says the French lost in the engagement of Sept. 30, 1200 killed and wounded. Among the wounded was General Guillanme. Three hundred prisoners were also taken. The French forts were almost silent Saturday and Sunday. The Prussians assert that the fire from the forts around Paris is quit e vigorous at times, but entirely harmless. The sup position is, that this is designed to de lude the Parisians into the belief that an effective defence is being made. BASLE, Oct. 3.—The Prussians, with the aid of electric lights, were all last night crossing the Rhine at Mulhouse. Bismarck has made public the informa tion that the "report of a conversation between King William and the Emperor Napoleen, given by Russell, of the Lon don Times, and since published all over the world, is founded throughout on mere invention." The North German Gazette denounce:3' the priests as the source of the anti-Prus sian feeling in the South German States and as instigators of revolt, murder, and hostile alliances. The Prussians took five hundred pris; oners in front of Paris in the action of Saturday. General Burnside is in conference with Jules rare and 2linister Washbgrne. PARIS, Sept. 27, via London, Oct. 3. The following ia,ollicial:—The barricade commission has been completed by the addition of M. Albert, formerly member of the Provisional Government. The commission contains nine engineers. The Parisians are calm and impassable, and pursue their usual occupations, but a rifle is always near that they may be ready for service at the first tap of the drain. Some petroleum which has been provided for the defence of the city, suddenly burst into flames to-day, causing extreme ex citement. The fire, however, was soon extinguished, after an hour's labor with the engines. The soldiers charged with cowardice in the recent engagement have been dis graced and otherwise punished. The bombiirdment of Paris from the west is imminent. The books of the great libraries have been removed to the cellars. All the windows have been filled with bags of earth, and watchmen have been stationed on Notre Dame to look out for fires. The French now acknowledge defeat in the battle of Friday last. From Lyons it is stated that the late governor has been arrested for supineness and insubordination. The associates of General Cluseret have been imprisoned. ' In Utah, Chief ,Tustice McKean decides that the Legislature of that Territory cannot elect dPros'ecuting Att orney - for his court.
