1; EN. GRANT'S VATIIER, all old man elo
quent, says: " (Mr fight is trmisferred to
the ballot; it is our duty as patriotic citi-
zcns not to allow the miserable old Loco
focu-Leconipton-Copperhead faction to be
galvanized into life, on the pretence that it
is the only party that can save the coun
try.--N. Y. in.i/n u ow.
This is the second time we have heard
of Gen. Grant's father through the
medium of the public prints. The first
time, it was stated that " the old man ".
went down to his son's camp in Missis
sippi and expended some of his elo
quence in an attempt to persuade the
son to permit him to make a fortune (as
other " patriotic citizens " were doing
in various ways) out of the hides of the
animals slaughtered for the use of the
army. It was added that the General
told the eloquent and patriotic old man
to go home to the old woman and not
compromise him by loafing around his
camp to pick up Government hides.
From the lustiness with which the elo
quent old patriot lays his blows on the
quivering back of the "miserable old
Locofoco-Lecompton-Copperhead fac
tion," we infer that, in spite of his son's
vigilance, he managed to steal at least
one cowhide.
PnEstpliNT JMINsoN does not seem
much inclined to adopt Thaddeus Ste
vens' plan of paying the national debt
by confiscating Southern property. In
deed the following from the Tribune of
yesterday leads us to believe that he re
pudiates it entirely. Mr. Stevens ought
to send him a copy of his (-iettysburg
speech. Perhaps that would convert
him from (od to Mani mon—from Mercy
to Vengeance. Just think - whata cluvotz

put up at sale on government account,
Simon Cameron and other good citizens
of Pennsylvania, who have patriotical
ly consented to grow rich in the service
of their country, might have bought
them for at least money enough to pay
the charges of the auctioneer:
Gen. Howard of the Freedmen's Bureau
is daily hesiegol. by a host of Southern ap
plicants for abandoned property confiscated
by the Government during the war, and is
gradually restoring it to its former owners

estates situated in the Stales of Maryland
and Virginia were on Friday restored by
(;en. Howard.
Extraordinary Correspondence
If the following letters are not forger
ies, they present the most curious chap
ter that ever was read in the history of
our country in the world :
[From the Louisville Democrat.]
There used to be, once upon a time, a
Latin king called Muna, who consulted
a wise nymph about suitable laws or
measures. What a' delight it would be
to those grumblers to know that this
event is repeated in our history, the only
difference being that, to preventscandal,
instead of a nymph an original bearded
abolitionist is substituted. This is the
actual fart. Recently Mr. Seward for
warded to Governor Andrews, of Massa
chusetts, a cm ,y of the Mississippi con
stitution for his approval. The latter
turned it over to William Lloyd Garri
son for his opinion, and the latter repli
ed with extraordinary liberality. We
give the correspondence entire :

Saute Cruz felt the shock more se
verely than any other town in the State.
The motion was apparently from east
to west. The ground along the river
opened in fissures and spouted water
like the geysersof Iceland. The people
are unable to use some of the wells,
which are either dry or filled with sand.
The tide rose very high -at the time of
the shock, and fell very low immediately
afterwards. 'Pen or eleven distinct
shocks were felt since the first shock up
to 5 M. to-day. The estimated losses
will amount to SIOO,OOO, and may exceed
that sum. -
The condition of the country is such
just now_ that the most thorough states
manship,is needed for its guidance. The
course of the President meets with the
approval and receives the support of ail
conservative men of all parties, and this
is a hopeful sign. There is, however,
danger that the Caine " disloyalty"
which led us into the war will lead us
into new troubles. We do not use the
word disloyalty in its modern American
sense, but iu its proper sense, of enmity
to the Constitution of the United States.
The men who have been most free in
casting the accusation of disloyalty at
their opponents, have been in point of
fact, at, all times the most dangerous
enemies of the government.
We seem now to have arrived at a
time when one may sustain the Ad
ministration and at the same time stand
by the Constitution, and singularly
enough, just at this moment we find
these very men, who were a little while
ago loudest in professions of loyalty,
arrayed against the Administration and
against the Constitution both. If we
ask them nllitt"What they support, they
do not pretend that they support the
President, nor even the government,
But they will argue that the war isellttr
ed, and that tire ex itz..-W.litelievok
ed their to Jilt ire gone, and they are
trio — W - PfiVileged to be disloyal.
This argument will .not avail. Spas
modic loyality is worth nothing. The
condition of the country is hazardous
and uncertain.. The future prosperity
and unity of the people, the sustaining
of the grand mission of the American
blepublie, all depend on the wisdom and
prudence of the statesmen at the helm,
and On the present course of the people.
President Johnson's-policy tends tow
ard unity, and community of feelings,
and of interests. The course of the op
position headed by Stevens and Sum
ner, the Tiibtines of New York and
Chicago, and other like persons and pa
pers toward disunion and perpetual an
archy.
The time requires eyery patriot to
take his sumd distinctly for or against
the policy of the President. We do not
pretend to say that patriotism requires
a man to approve his policy, for patriot
ism is not a Christian virtue, and may
often lead men to oppose government.
But this is no day for uncertain men, or
uncertain parties. Within the next few
weeks, or months at the most, it should
be decided what is to be the course of
the popular will. If to gustain the wise
measures of Mr. Johnson, good." If to
establish the reign of radical ledders,
then nothing but evil awaits us.—S. I.
Journal of Commerce:
The financial editor of the Trui/d,
writing for Monday's paper thus states
the condition of the money market on
Saturday, in the great commercial cen
tre of the coun :
The money market was active in the
early part of the day at six to seven per
cent. on call bonds, but after twelve o'-
clock there was a marked decrease in
the demand. Money lenders have been
forced to carry over large unemployed
balances. Many of the stock firms bor
rowed early in the day at seven per
cent., large sums, which they are car
rying over until Monday, having been
unable to use the same. The efforts of
the speculating bank Officers, and their
friends who are short of stocks, to engi
neer a tightness in the money market,
in order to bring - down prices, have pro
ven a failure. After 2 o'clock loans were
made easily at six per cent., and parties
were sending round oilers to lend at
that rate. All the movements of the
Treasury Department and the national
banks tend to keep the money market
easy, and there is nothing in the imme
diate future likely to change this condi
tion of present and prospective ease.
JUDOS TllomPsoN, of the Supreme
Court, yesterday delivered an opinion
in Philadelphia, which confirms the
opinion heretofore expressed by the In
telligencer, that all the Abolition Ske
daddlers from the draft in Lancaster
county and elsewhere, are entitled to
vote the same as their more patriotic
fellow-citizens who didn't run away.
The Judge said
I have been asked to-day my opinion as
to the right of what is - called non-reporting
drafted men to vote. The qualifications
required by our State Constitutions are the'
only ones that judges of election are to look
to. Congress cannot add to thent nor di
minish them. In that instrument no dis
franchisement for any such cause is ibund,
and no judge of an election will be justified
in excluding from the right to vote any per
son being otherwise qualified and not ex
cluded by the very terms of the Constitu
tion. It would be absurd to expect an elec
tion board to stop the progress of the polls
to try a fact like that of an illegal draft and
failure to report. They have no jurisdiction
of any such question, there being no. dis
franchisement arising in the Constitution
any such cause,
THE TRIBUNE furnishes us the fol
lowing interesting item of information

The military guard that keeps watch ill

seen again until five minutes past seven

him dead, as above described. Between !
the time when Needs obtained the keys
and when found the workmen had ar
rived ; although some of them were en
gaged in that portion •of the build
ing where the body was found,
none of them heard any noise of a.
scuffle, although the evidences of a des
perate but short struggle _were found on
the body and in the room. Close by the
body was a small hammer ; also a stick
of wood; an inch square and eighteen
inches long. It:Wks coveredwitliblood,
and hadevidentlY been used as a gag. No
one employed about the establishment
recognized the wood. Those who used
it had brought it with them, first cut
ting notches to hold cords, apparently
taken from a blind or window curtain,
and thus be enabled to tie it behind the
head of their victini,.and secare - itlrr
his mouth. , A portion of the hanker=
chief, saturated with blood, was also
found in the mouth. A postmortem by
Dr. Shapleigh developed the extent of
the injuries and the cause of death- The
hand and knuckles presented the evi
dence of a conflict; the right eye was
very much contused. There was a con
tusion on the prominent part of the
brow and over the right - eye. This was
round and had evidently been inflicted
with the hammer. There was a wound
just above each ear, and there were
several on the back part of the head.
One of them had the appearance of
being caused by the hammer. On re
moving the scalp the Doctor found no
clots of blood pressing the brain as in
the case of sudden death, but the blood
vessels were congested and filled with
blood. The mouth presented evidences
of the brutality of the murderers.
The only teeth in the upper jaw
(three) were broken; the lower jaw, to
gether with the teeth, was broken, and
the Doctor was of opinion that these
injuries to the mouth could have been
inflicted by pushing the gag into the
mouth. The liver was found congested.
From all these injuries, Dr. Shapleigh
gave the following ris his opinion in re
gard to the cause of death : "In the first
place the man had been knocked sense
less by a blow on the head. But this
could not have caused his death. Sud
den death, when caused by injuries to
the brain, is shown by the pressure of
the blood upon the brain. We have - in
this case to look elsewhere for the cause
of death. This handkerchief was found
in the mouth; this gag was lying near
the body.
"This (the gag) undoubtedly had been
used as a gag, and the appearance of the
organs show that death was caused by
strangulation. This was done while the
man was senseless from the effects of
the blows on the head, and the robbers
might not have intended to cause death
for they removed the gag just as they
were leaving. Almost any of the blows
could have knocked the man down, but
there was not enough injury to the
brain to have caused such sudden
death."
The explanation for the murder is
found in the tact that gold, silver and
platina were kept in the fire-proof. The
murderers had taken the keys from
their victim, but were disturbed while
examining the safe. They tore open a
number of envelopes searching for bonds
no doubt. They secured about $2,400
worth of platina and, sipoff,..,,,L—Ntiii;
locked t.....dijor after them, and
took the key away.
They left in the safe a large chisel,
which had recently been brought, as
the paper was stilton the handle. After
the examination of a number of wit
nesses, the coroner adjourned the inquest
until this afternoon.
Negro Suffrage----Generals Grant and
Sherman's Opinions.
[Extract from Senator Doolittle's Speech at
October 2.J
opINION GENERAL GRANT
But I will not stop here. This is too
serious a matter fur men with flippant
tongue to pass over, as if there were
nothing iu it. The other day, when
General Grant was here, spending sev
eral hours with him in free conversa
tion upon this subject among others, he
expressed to me the same opinion. Said
1 : " General Grant I never quote pri
vate conversation without express per
mission. Am I permitted to state what
you now state to me ?" •Said he: "Cer
tainly, there is no concealment on my
part." And he stated to me in the con
versation that a considerable portion of
the troubles between the whites and the
blacks that had already occurred, was
in consequenee of this unwise attempt
to force negro suffrage in those States.
He said, further, that if the Federal
Government were to attempt to do it
and enforce it, it would undoubtedly
produce war between the two races
there. Now how does it seem for some
of those yr - Ming men, that were never
there in their lives, and know nothing
about it, some editor of a newspaper, or
some stump orator—how does it seem
for such men, in presence of authority
like this, to say it means nothing?
When I stand up before people, and
plead to save the lives of these poor,
down-trodden men, whom their mis
taken zeal, false philanthrophy and
blind fanaticism would hurry into their
graves by hundreds aud thousands, per
haps. [Applause.]
But there is still another and no less
high authority upon this subject. In
conversation with General Sherman,
that great captain, who was this day in
the city, and who desired much to be
present here this evening, Whose friends
telegraphed to Chicago for the purpose
of detaining the boat that he might be
here, but were unable to do so, which I
much regret, for I would prefer to say
it in his presence, I found he enter
tained the same opinion. That great
captain, who, at the head of his conquer
ing legions, swept through the very
heart of the rebellion, who is familiar
with the condition there,who haslivedin
Louisana, and who was at the head of a
military academy there when the rebel
lion broke out, he too, in conversation
with me at Madison, was decidedly of
the same opinion as General Grant and
the President.
My fellow-citizens, when I stand here
—pleading here—against this insane
project—for it is none other—this insane
project of insisting that the government
of the United States, while.endeavoring
to establish peace in those states, should
adopt a policy leading to a bloody war
of races, by forcing negro suffrage upon
the people of the South at this time,
against the unanimous opinion of the
'white race—what Most of the free states
.will not do, though their numbers are
so small that they could have but very
little weight—a most fearful proposition
under these circumstances, I do not rest
upon my own knowledge. I am bound
to regard the warnings of those great
men—our greatest men—who have been
there, and state what the effects of such
a policy would be. And he must be a
very brave man who, never having been
there, and knowing nothing about it,
stands up and gays, " It is all delusion ;
there is nothing in it. (Cheers.) It is
moral cowardice, and only timid men
say this." (Cheers.) In view of such
authority . tis I have given, he must be
brave indeed who sees no danger in such
policy. Brave—ah ! brave is not the
word, for " fools rush in where angels
fear to tread." Fellow-citizens, we read
of civil war in Hayti. What is that
war? It is a war of races more than
anything else. lt is a war between blacks
and mulattoes. This prejudice of races
is.a thing very deeply seated in huintin
society, and not a thing to betritlcl
with. q, • • • :

embarrass the President in all his efforts

The Montana.Territorlal Election,
Contesi for Congressional Delegate—Col.
McLean Elected and the Democratic
. Ticket Triumphant.
fCorresponden6e of the New York Herald.]
VIRGINIA CITY, Montana Territory,
September 9, 1865. f
We have just had our annual election
for delegate from Montana to Congress.
The Democratic Convention had been
called on the last of June, and W. I.
McMath, of our city, was the favorite
candidate. But the friends of Colonel
McLean, the present incumbent, suc
ceeded in postponing the Convention
until his arrival on August 7. After a
bitter contest of two days McMath with
drew, and McLean was nominated by
acclamation. The people's (Union)
party met on the 9th of August.
Chief Justice Hosmer, Colonel W.
F. Sanders, (the nominee last year,)
and Attorney General E. B. Nealley
were the competitors for this nomina
tion. It lay between Sanders and Neat
ly. They had sought it in the expecta
tion that McMath would be nominated
by the Democrats, in which case it was
thought McLean's friends would bolt
and give tlllTaion,tick et 4n eilsy vic
tory. Updu McLean's nomination all
three withdrew in favor of Major Gad
E. Upson, Indian Agent at Fort Ben
ton, who was nominated on the first
ballot.
The contest has been animated, the
• e
by sinking everything into .what they
call the local wants of the Territory.
This scheme succeeded so far as to make
McLean fall considerably behind leis
ticket, but the returns indicate his re
election by about 1,000 majority.
The principal places of the Territory
vote as follows :
Virginia Cits
Nevada City
Highland
Summit
Helena City..
. .
Madison , county gives McLean about
SSO majority. Beaver Head county
gives McLean about 75 majority. Jef
ferson county gives Lipson about 100
majority.
Returns from Deer Lodge and Galla
tin counties will probably increase these
majorities to about 1,000.
Destructive Fire iii the First Ward of
Philadelphia.
3.500 Barrels of Coal Oil Consumed—Loss
$lOO,OOO.
From To-day's Age.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
dense black smoke was arising from the
southeastern part of the First Fire dis•
trict, and soon the whole city was exci
ted by the thousands of firemen and
lookers-on that proceeded by every
street to attractive scene of destruction.
Since the terrible conflagration occa
sioned by the storage of coal oil in the
closely built portions of this city, and
the passage of a law to prevent such
recklessnes, a spacious yard on the Del
aware front, at Dickerson street, belong
ing to Alexander R. McHenry & Co.,
has been extensively used for the stor
age and shipment of petroleum. For
tunately this yard is not surrounded by
buildings of any kind and the destruc
tion of property was finely confined to
the rough frame and brick structures,
oil wood and other material within its.
limits. So far as we could learn there
were about thirty-five hundred barrels
of crude and refined petroleum stored
in the yard of McHenry & Co., at the
time of the fire, which was owned in
this city and New York. Persons who
first saw the fire say it commenced near
the middle of the yard, and in ; a few
minutes the blazing fluid ran among the
many hundred barrels, licking around
and bursting each till their contents rose
in flames mountain high, and sending
forth a heavy volume of smoke that
reached far to the northeast. The
principal building destroyed was a two
story brick stable owned and occupied
by Robert Early, dealer in lime, wood,
sand, etc. Two horses kept in the stable
were safely removed. Mr. Early also
had a lot of cord-wood destroyed, and
his loss will reach about $3,000, which
is partially covered by insurance. The
books of McHenry & Co., were got out
from the counting house before its de
struction. It, is estimated that the loss
by petroleum consumed will reach near
$lOO,OOO, half of which is covered by in
surance in New York, New England
and Philadelphia companies. The oil
deAroyed was owned as follows : Lem
uel Wilcox, of this city, 2,000 barrels ;
R. H. Post and J. T:Grieson, New York
Wanang, King & Co., of Pittsburgh,
several hundred barrels, and a small
quantity by Wm. Piersal, Mr. King and
Mr. McHenry of Philadelphia.
RADICAL VENOM towards the Presi
dent on account of his merciful treat
ment of the Southern people is daily dis
playing itself more conspicuously. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives Andy Johnson the
following stab under the fifth rib, accu
sing him of neglecting the North and
paying undue attention to the South.
A gentleman from New York who has
spent two weeks in following a successful
application for pardon through Judge Holt's
office, on Saturday succeeded in getting the
Presidential signature. But he was infor
med in the White House that the President
time is so occupied with listening to South
ern applications for pardon, that there are
to-day five hundred cake similarly recom
mended and only awaiting the signature of
the President, which he has not time to
make.

Bureau, proposes that a National Cotton
Growers' Convention be held either in

such public journals as "PUBLISH BY At - -

OUrleaiiinijournals seem bewildered. I
took up one lately that says reorganization

down is "that the rebellion must be con

any State Government; they were only in
abeyance," and he says the President acts

The Rebels, the Copperheads, and a re . *
bewildered staggering Republicans say,
"let them back with all their privileges,
without fine or forfeiture. To consolidate
the Union we must leave the homicidal trai
tors in its bosom, and treat them kindly,
lovingly, and mercifully. Touch not a dol
lar of their property; but allow loyal men
to groan under the burdens they have
heaped upon them." This is not the Penn
sylvania platform. It says "confiscate the
property of the rich Rebels, and apply it to
pay the debt, and to indemnify the loyal
men who have been ruined by them; and
add something to our wounded solders' com
fort." And yet I perceive certain Republi
cans, who sit on velvet cushions, fill high
places, and grow kit on Federal patronage,
join the whole throng of Copperheads and
traitors, and beg that mercy and loving
kindness shall be bestowed on the van
quished wretches.
SHABBY REPUBLICANS AND PUZZLED
The shabby Republicans to whom I have
referred take that course because they pre
tend it is the President's plan. All admit
and applaud the patriotism and honesty of
the President. It is true that the applause
of the Copperheads, and their unanimous
approval of what they call his views, have
made the loyal pause.
I3EINU A TAIL , Hi, THE PRESIDENT HAS
TAKEN To P cICHING, BUT EXPECTS THE
The theory on which he is allowing the
South to patch up State Governments shows
that he cannot expect them to be perma
nent.
THE TAILOR PRESIDENT INSTRUCTS HIS
lie directs his Military Governors to al
low the people to take the old Constitutions
as the substratum of a new organization,
and so amend them as to meet the expecta
tions of the North, by abolishing
slavery.
The Governors direct who shall vote and
when the Conventions shall be held. Now
those Constitutions which are to be re
formed, point out the modes of amendment.
The Constitution Of Tennessee provided
that "whenever two-thirds of the General
Assembly shall think it necessary to change
or mend this Constitution they shall recom
mend to the electors to vote for or against a
convention," et cetera,
The Constitution of South Carolina now
being furnished by Provisional GovernoT
Perry says: "No Convention of The people
shall be called unless'by the concurrence of
two-thirds of both branches of the whole
rapresentation." The Constitution of Miss
issippi requires a two-thirds vote to amend;
so of Louisiana, Virginia, and all other
stateg.
THE PRESIDENT A COIiBLER AS WELL AS
None of the present,gobbled Governments
have gone through this process. I think
about a dozen townships and fifteen hun
dred voters acted for the eleven hundred
thousand people of Virginia. What new
law has authorized this mode of amending
or creating new States? The President can
pass no law, and Congress has not met
since the conquest. It is evidently an "ex
periment;" a job for these captives to learn
on while held in military subjection.

I do not overlook what the President has
occasionall? said to them. It is a very al
lowable Christian gratification tbr him and
his chief minister whom these men have
persecuted, and placed rewards on their
heads, and attempted to assassinate, to see
them ranged by fifties at his foot-stool, beg
ging his pardon, and to lecture them in a
patronizing way ; and listen to their sub
missive answers, and see them clap their
delicate hands in constrained applause; to
tell them not to be alarmed at the radicals,
that they are under his protection, and un
der the shield of the Constitution which
they had never abjured; that he loves them
like a father, and will love them all the
more for this little " family feud."
pOWI , .:RIGFIT FVN OR DE:te EARNEST.
It is easy to see this is all irony, cutting
irony, which they well deserve. If it be
not irony to the living traitors it is mockery
to the loyal dead.
SEES THE Ft 7 1 ,1 BUT DON'T ENJOY IT
Those who know the remarkable intel
lectual character of those eminent men per
ceive, if they do not enjoy, the rich irony of
their speeches, so delicate, and yet so subtle
that the trembling supplicants accept it
literally, and have gone home to boast of
their success, and plot new treason.
PLEASANT ALLUSION TO THE FOURTH OF
What is conclusive evidence that the
President considers the present adjustment
of Slates as temporary and experimental
only, is, that the Supreme Court has decid
ed that the declaration of the condition of
States belongs exclusively to Congress. The
present arrangement wal, made under the
decrees of the President and his Military
Uovernors. If this could be deemed per
manent, it would form a precedent, on
which future Presidents might build a
throne, and usurp a crown. The President
is 105 much of rt plebeian to indulge in such
absolute ideas.
I observe, it is said that so anxious are
these " erring brethren " escape the ac
tion of Congress, that they are being par
doned at the rate of hundreds a day; and
as no human endurance could stand such
rapid labor, a machine has been invented
to do it mechanically, and three hundred
are pardoned daily by machinery. I do not
see why a machine may not do this work as
well as human intellect,
THE ADIA STIRRED VP-A SAVAGE
I was lately in Philadelphia, and heard
of a case, (a sample of many others,) which
stirred my blood, cold as it is. A rich rebel
owned city stock amounting (with interest)
to more than one hundred thousand dollars.
It had been seized under our confiscation
lads; it was ready to be paid into the
United States Treasury when a pardon
came, which restored it to its rebel owner.
SENSIBLE ADVICE.
If such things meet your approbation,
support the Copperhead ticket.
The close carriage which was pre
sented to President Lincoln in 1863 by
a number of New York gentlemen, will
be shipped to that city for sale on Tues
day, in charge of Mr. Williamson, late
ly private tutor to Mr. Lincoln's chil
dren. It will be consigned to the care
of Leeds, Miner & Co., and from the
fact that it is the same in which the
President took his last ride to Ford's
Theatre, on the fatal 14th of April, it is
expected will command a high price.
We find the above among the special
dispatches from Washington to the
Tribune of yesterday. The mercenary
conduct of Mr. Lincoln's family in
sending off to an auction mart the car
riage in which hd took his last ride—
and that carriage a present to him—
under the expectation that it " will
command a high price," is enough to
arouse against them the indignation of
the whole country. Very different was
the conduct of the Duchess of Marl
borough with regard to the car thal'had
borne the body of her husband. to its
last earthly abode. .

ROBERT E. LEE IN A NEW ROLE
The inauguration of Gen. R. E. Lee
as President of Washington College of
Lexington, Va., was announced to take
place to-day. There were to be no. for
mal addresses or ceremonies on the oc
casion. The following from The Staun
ton Vindicator will give an idea of the
reception of the great Rebel chieftain at
Greenville on his way to Lexington :
" The news spread like wildfire,
crowds from town and country rushed
in to get a sight of the great and good
man, whom not only the Southern peo
ple, but those throughout the world who

An Eloping Couple Pursued Seven Thous-
and Miles
Captain Stansbury, late of the St.
Louis police force, returned on Tuesday
evening, having caught, in the city of
Quebec, a runaway girl, who eloped
with a man from her mother in einem
];l,ati some twpsintniths since. The girl
was sgely, returned to her mother by
the Captain, who was amply rewarded
for his trouble. The Captain informs
us that he has travelled over seven
thousand miles in pursuit of the fair
maid. He said it cost him at least two
thousand miles of rail and water travel
more thali was necessary, owing to the,
fact that the elopement was premature-:
ly published in the St. LOWS papers.
The young lady got wind that the Cap
tain was in pursuit while she was in
Buffalo, and then commenced a race
unparalleled in police annals. The
Captain chased her all over the New
England States, when he found
that the fair fugitive had taken
the Canada route. She was then
followed to Boonshire balls, in
Canada, West ; thence to Toronto, By
town, Trios Rivers and Montreal. The
Captain' ot oil the scent of the fugitives
on the Grand river, owing to the facto ,
that they left the main lines of travel
and took to a raft, descending the river
two hundred and fifty miles. At Mon
treal,-the girl's paramour getting tired
out, the latter was left behind, when the
girl steamed down to Quebec, where she
was caught by her persevering pursuer.
The girl--who, according to the Captain's
statement,- " is the prettiest he ever laid
eyes on?Hdelivered herself up gracefully
and was returned to Cincinnati, to sin
no more it is to be hoped. This washer
second elopement, she having tried the
experiment once before, and was captur
ed at the Planter's House, in this city,
in company with a gambler, by: the
same officer vetio recaptured the
second. time.—St. Louis Democrat,Sept.
Discharge of a Guerilla
Marshal P. Stewart, charged with
committing murders and acting the
guerilla in this State, was yesterday re
leased from the. military prison, in
obedience to an order from the War
Department.: 'Stewart had been under
sentence - of 'death since the fourth day
of last June; during which time he had
been twice respited. His last respital
was until further orders, and resulted
in his liberation as above stated. If
there is no other happy member of the
human family, we imagine Marshal P.
Stewart is one. While at the military
prison the other day, Stewart remarked
to us that he had twice beheld his coffin,
and that the ;- gallows, which. stood
within full view of his cell window,
only excited in him a desire to whistle
Yankee Doodle. Be is said to have
constantly amused himself anil fellow - -
.prisoners by whistling this air, attribut
ing the frivolity. to conscious innocence
of the crimes for whichlke cvas 'tried.—

The Coming Virginia Election.
Richmond papersof this week contain
a letter from.GovernorPierpontanswer
ing the interrogatories ofJ. W.,Lewellen
touching the eligibility of candidates.
The Governor says :—lt is peculiarly
painful at this time in the disturbed
condition of the State, when there are
so many petitions for pardon on file at
Washington and meetings are being
held in a large number of counties iu

the loyalty of the people to the federal '

of thecoustitutioulof the j United States,
which is in these words, to wit : "Each
house shall be the judge of the election
returns and qualifications of it mem

daring that all its members shall take
the oath to which you refer. That res
olution prescribing the oath .will have
to be repealed before any member who--
cannot conscientiouly subscribe to it
can take his seat, It is not expected
that Congress will:repeal that resolution
in order to give seats to members who.
cannot take oath. He concludes as fol
lows :—" But has it net the' appearance -
of persistent and continued rebellion for
men to run for Congrass who by the law
of Congress cannot take their 'seats? If

brought out. An employe of the Yost
Office Department, now superintending,

" on the mail route from Fort Sinitly, In
that State, to Caswell, in Missouri, there•
is not a house nor habitation where a.
mail carrier could refresh himself or•

seventy-five miles, and there not a
house or garden fence left standing, : nor
a field under cultivation." The writer
remarks, in addition to the above, that.
throughout the whole of the State the.
restoration of postal service is hailed
with genuine delight and thanks

SECRETARY HARLAN returned to
Washington on Saturday from his trip
to lowa, where he has been looking af
ter the Legislature to be voted for to-day.
The Secretary is to be a candidate for
re-election to the • Senate to fill the un
expired portion of. the term made.va
cant by his own resignation. He-:is
quite anxious to get back to his old place,
for, notwithstanding the astute denials
about cabinet changes, it is believed by
persons at the National Capital who are
supposed to have means of knowing,
that New Year's day . will not see Mr.
Harlan in the cabinet.
