04r The late Republican "Union"

the doctrine of negro suffrage, and
their candidate for Governor, Cox, is
claimed by the Radicals as an "ar

the following platform :
lat. "The right of suffrage should be extend

RELEASE OF GENERAL EWELL.-

and given bonds that he will respect

rim— Simon Cameron and Andy
Curtin both want to be United States
Senators, but as there is only one va
cancy -hey have got into a fight on
the question. Simon represents the
Radical or negro-voting element,
while Curtin is the representative of
the conservative portion of that
party. Simon just now holds the
reins, having out-manoeuvred his op
ponent, as is apparent from the re
cent action of their State committee
presided over by Simon, and the call
ing of their State Convention to meet
on the 17th of August. Notwith
standing the apparent mastery of
Simon at present the contest yet
promises to become quite lively be
tween Cameron and negro-suffrage
on the one hand, and Curtin and the
adherents of the policy of the Nation
al Administration on the other.—
The Democrats will stand aloof and
let them fight it out.
WHAT L 9 LOYALTY ?—A certain
Republican in this place explained to
a Democrat, the other day, that all
that was necessary just now to be
considered intensely "loyal," was to
be in favor of "hanging Jeff. Davis."
He asserted, also, that in their "cir
cle" the measure ofcirrity of a
mandoricktul.d_ Lc,
while going through the hemp
stretching operation. Of such is'the
republican party composed—men
who havo no other principles of gov
ernment policy save what is involved
in the hanging of an individual. What
know they, or what care they, for
the destinies of a nation ; for the wel
fare of posterity ; for liberty, law
and order; for civilization, for Chris
tianity ? on all these things their
leaders think for them. The only pearl
thrown down to them is the hanging
of Jeff., and even on that they are
not allowed to choose sides, they must
think as directed, or be black-balled
as not "loyal." Such is the privilege
of the mass of the republican party,
and, when the election day comes to
carry the ballots presented to them
by their masters to the polls. There
is not to-day ono in a dozen of them
who knows whether he is for or
against President Johnson, just be
cause their leaders and organs differ,
and have not extended the cue!
They only know that it is "loyal" to
be in favor of hanging, and that sat
isfies them.
Stir THE ERA OF CHIME I—There
seems to be a very large amount of
crime committed just now in various
parts of the country. Lawlessness
is rife, and society appears to be re
solvineitself into its .okiginal
me s hors are accounts . of • rob.
&c., that are really sta / rtling. A bad
spirit appears to be peivading every
thing,—resulting, no doubt, from the
teachings that have been too common
both in the pulpits and the press for
the last four years. It is to be hoped
that a change may now come over
the - spirits of the people, and that
they everywhere will see the impor
tance of bringing every influence to
bear that will restore order, peace,
honesty, good feeling, and the pro
prieties of life throughout the land.
""No VACANOIES".—AIarge number
of disabled soldiers have applied for
offices in the Treasury .Department
at Washington; but the Secretary
announces that "no vacancies exist."
No, but it would be very easy, and
at the same time very just and hu
mane, for the Secretary to make any
number of vacancies. And he ought
to remove hundreds of those coward
ly stay-at-home patriots who have
been such fierce war hawks while
"serving the country" in the fat of
fices at Washington, and who showed
such wonderful courage when the en
emy approached that city last year.
But now that the war is over, the
poor soldier is not an object of such
interest and favor as he has been for
four yours past and be will find it so
when be asks any substantial favor
from his late eulogists.
or it is not only so in Washing
ton, but over the whole country.—
The stay-at-homes have the offices
and will hold on to them with it
death grip. Quitea number- of- i ;;.
cers are to be elected this fall in this
county. How many soldiers will be
put upon the "Union" ticket ? We
venture to assert, in advance, that if
two get on it will be the extent, and
that only for show sake. The sol
diers were all good enough to take
the lead in fighting, but they will find
the tables turned when it comes to
take the front position in offices, even
if they have lost a log or arm, or bad
a bullet through the body. Mark
our prediction.

fense and in vindication of those principles for
which the fathers and founders of the Republic,
sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sa
cred honors to make and perpetuate - this country,

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A WOMAN AND
CHILD
The Three Murderers Killed
The Dayton Journal of the 10th
inst., says : "We are informed that a
horrible tragedy took place in Madi
son county, about four miles from
London, last week, but our informant
could not give names. We recite this
awful story as, we heard it. A far.
mer sold his farm to three men, who
gave him $16,000 cash in part pay
ment. In the evening he walked to
London ' leaving his wife and child at
home. Some time after a peddler,
who had often stayed in the house all
night, drove up and asked permission
to remain; but the farmer's wife de
clined, because it, was doubtful if her
husband returned that night, and she
knew there was a large amount of
money in the house. She remarked
to the peddler that if her husband re
turned that night he would probably
meet him. The peddler drove on met
the farmer, and returned with him.
As.they approached the house, the
farmer observed a light in the room
in which he usually kept his papers,
and remarked to the peddler that
there were burglars in the house.—
The peddler produced -a pair of re
volvers, and the two, stationing them
salves-ants where. the burglars
would _prphably,littetnpt to escape,

of them, when the third ran toward'
the farmer, who killed him. Upon
entering the house, the farmer was
horrified to find his wife. and child
murdered. When the bodies of the
Murderers were examined, it was dis
covered that they were the parties
who had purchased the farm that
day ; one of them being a brother-in
law to the farmer.

named White and iNicGready to as

men declined to work on the Fourth
and asked for the, money due them,
which Meir refused to pay, as he
was disappointed by their determina

lazar-houses of cholera-smitten vic

the road to the shrines from .Tedda

who had come to kiss the Kaaba
turning back in horror, with their
trains, to succomb in tents and hous
es where they shut themselves up.—
Already Egypt has been reached,
and the fellahs there are perishing

Italian and French 'harbors are shut
against vessels from Alexandria.—
Marseilles has kept all the mail•boats
in quarantine ever since two mori
bund passengers were landed in the
Jolliette ; and at last - -we ourselves
have been obliged to confront a peril
that cannot be disregarded. The
newspapers and letters which went
out of the gdneral post-office on Tues
day last were sent in boxes instead
of bags, to prevent infections being
carried out of Egypt by the mail
passing through the country. That,
indeed, is not a precaution on our
own behalf, but it will also be ob
served with regard to the overland
despatches coming homeward. All
the instances we enumerate, and
others, which might be cited, prove
that the cholera is on its- periodical
March ; and, without ascribing to the
same source the outbreaks in north
Russia, Poland, and Prussia, it is at
the least possible that the year may
be signalized by the invasion of that
enemy which patriotism and courage
cannot keep out of our island.--[Lon

FIGHT BETWEEN WHITE AND NEGRO
TROOPS AT CHAKLEsTox.—The Charles

that. took place on the Bth inst., and
which caused a great excitement,
and resulted in killing of one man
(colored) and wounding of three oth-
ers, a Zouave and two colored men.
The aegro troops were the aggres
sors, and in the melee which °mum
ed, the negroes, with their usual
recklessness fired a volley among a
crowd, killing a colored citizen and
wounding several others. The white
troops afterwards charged on them
and put them to flight.
The colored troops belonged to a
Massachusetts regiment, and the cot.-
poral in charge, it is reported, was
intoxicated and acted without or

dors.
O A WEALTHY CHllHOH.—Trinity.
Chureh, New York, owns no less
than 691 tots of ground in the city,
most of them in the heart of the city,
and forming its most valuable real
estate. Of thisnumber Mr. Astor
holds leaiesniibti 336, which *ere se
cured in 1766; at seventy-five cents-a
lot, and will expire in May, 1866.
The rent paid for them is only $269
per annum, upon which Astor real
izes over $1,300,000. The value of
these leased lots is now estimated at
six million dollars. In a few Years
all the leases given by Trinity will
expire, and the property will revert
to the corpoxation. The whole value
of the real-estate will then be about
twenty"million dollars. When the
church getS all this vast prnperty
