A full attendance is specially requested . WILLIAM A. WALLACE, October 26, 1865, The Next Campaign The Pittsburg Past, wnich some weeks ago spoke against the policy of post poning our State Conventions to a late period of the summer, has another ar ticle on the subject which we heartily endorse. According to all previous ex pedience, a "quiet campaign" should have inured -to our advantage, but in this instance it did not. It enabled the Republican leaders to dodge the ques tions at issue, and thus to avoid the de moralization in their own ranks which must have resulted from the pressing home upon them of their negro suffrage and negro equality doctrines. The next campaign must be managed differently. We must begin early and work with might and main till the polls close. We must speak out ourselves and compel our opponents to speak out; and with the issues thus fairly and squarely pre sented and , discussed, we think the ver: dict of the people must and will be in our favor. The Post says: "If the Convention is called on- the 4th of March, it will give ample time for organizing the party and presenting and discussing the plat form which may be adopted. There need be no apprehension as to the result if the people only fully understand the issues involved in the contest, and no canvass can be thoroughly and satisfac torily carried out in six or eight weeks. It is idle to talk about it. The idea of a late day for the Convention and a short 'campaign has been tried in the last two State erections, and the result is known. We do not pretend to say that postponing the time for the meet ing of the Convention was the cause of the defeat of the Democratic party, but certainly no good was accomplished, while too brief a space was left for the canvassing of the State, organization of the party, distribUtion of documents, &c. We are decidedly in favor of hold ing the Convention on the 4th of March." THE CottosEß's JURY summoned to inquire into the late Railroad disaster between Lancaster and Landisville have rendered their verdict. They have been unable to tind out the cause of the acci dent, although they called before them everybody within reach whom they supposed to be capable of throwing light on the subject. The track was in good order and the car was one of the best on the road. The train does not appear to have been running at an un warrantable rate. At the time of the accident the engines were not drawing at all, the engineers having shut oil' steam, as the train had reached de scending ground. As this accident has already been freely and sharply commented upon by the public press, especially in New York and Pittsburg, and as the verdict ren dered yesterday will no doubt be as sailed, we think the Jury should, by public notice, extend an invitation to all persons who profess to know any thing about the accident, to appear be fore them and testify. What is likely to be said when the verdict comes to be taken up by the press, may fairly be in ferred from what has been said in ad vanceof its rendition by a correspondent of the Pittsburg Commercia/, who writes over the signature of " A TRAVELER." lie says: Investigations by Coroner's Juries are now mere empty forms; indeed these juries seem only called to repress inquiry, and to smooth over the reckless and criminal con duct of Railroad companies and employees. The late case at Lancaster is only one of many. Two weeks have nearly elapsed, yet no one knows anything of the true cause of the disaster. It is said that a wheel, a rail, and an axle were all broken, but whether the lives were taken, and the limbs that were crushed were sacrificed by a bad axle or a bad rail, or a cracked wheel, or by total inattention to each and every way ; no man knows outside the railroad people, if indeed, they know anything about the matter. - . And what did the Coroner's Jury decide and declare? Did they seek to learn how long an axle may be safely used under a passenger ear? Did they inquire whether this broken axle bad been in use beyond the average time that an axle can be used as determined by the tests and experience of railroad men? Did tkey ask whether the axles for this road are tow made of the very beet material (as they always should be), and by manufacturers of thevery high est reputation? Was the fractured wheel of good material and fit for the terrible strain of a train so heavy tint two engines were required to move it? Was the speed of the train forty, or fifty, or fifty-five miles an hour? Were the surviving passengers ex amined by the jury? Were the employees who did the wrong the only persons ex amined, and will the jury make up its ver dict from their testimony alone? These are questions that will be asked and must be pressed, if the traveling pub lic are to have any protection for their lives and limbs. It is to be hoped that the next Legisla ture may contain members who will be brave and honest and humane enough to apply the remedy for fhese evils. Let there be a searching investigation—and let us have laws that will protect the traveler, or if he cannot be protected, that will pun ' ish his slayer whoever he may be. We very much doubt whether the testimony. of the ." surviving passen gers" would clear up the mystery that hangs around this accident, but still we think that all the testimony that can be got should be taken. This would relieve the Coroner's Jury from imputations that we are sure they do not deserve, and it would either relieve all the Rail road officials from unjust charges or fix the responsibility upon those alone to whom it belongs. It may be said that few or none of the surviving passengers would come here to testify. No matter. Give them the chance, and if they do not embrace it, that will leave them without ground of complaint against the nature of the verdict. Or better still, let the surviving passengers be invited, throughthe public press, to send their address to the Coroner, so that their testimony may be taken at their respect 'tive places of abode. The cause of this accident ought to be found out, or it should be conclusively shown to lie out of mortal sight and beyond the reach of human investigation. The Jury owe this to the officers of the .company, to the public and to themselves. f3ince putting the above in type, and just before going to press, we received a telegram from one of the near rela tives of A victim of the late accident, "protesting against the Coroner's Jury rendering a verdict upon the testimony as gly;en in the Lancaster papers. He impugns the statement of the conduc tors and asks that evidence fforn disin terested persons be taken—passengers and others—before a verdict is ten dered." THE DIME( Bolsi:lE.—.

Chairman Total Deduct bill of 1860 Difference This difference of $30.30 you have now to pay the bond-holders, assessors and collectors, for carrying on the civil war to make the negro your equal—for that is what is claimed by the radical Aboli tionists who have been ruling the coun try for the last four years. In 1860, ten days work of a laboring man at Si per day, would foot the bill ; in 1865, it will require twenty days work, at $2 per day, (which very few laboring men get,) to pay for the same bill of goods. In 1860, the farmer could come to town and pay his bill ofgoods with two barrels of flour; in 1865, notwithstanding the high price flour commands, it will takefour barrels to pay the same bill. The above presents a plain statement of facts which are broughthome to every householder in the community, and especially every laboring man who has to provide for himself and his family by his daily toil and industry, and this state of things will continue just so long as the governmental policy of the last few years is continued. If the masses want a change, they will have to dis pense with the services of their firesen rulers. There is no hope for the country but in a speedy return to the old Demo cratic policy of former years. Governor BROWNJAW, of Tennessee, in a recent letter to the Knoxville Whig, expresses the opinion that idleness, star vation and disease will remove from the sphere of mortal existence the majority of the negroes of this generation, and that the whole race, in this country, will gradually melt away and become ex tinct, like the Indians. This has been the opinion of all sensi ble men, who looked at the question from a conservative standpoint for the last two or three years, and our only marvel is that Parson IliwwLow, who has been so sadly afflicted with " nigger on the brain," should have got his eyes opened at last. That the poor negroes will be the greatest sufferers in the long run, from forced emancipation, is just as certain as that night follows day. In capable of taking care of themselves, their race is destined to dwindle and perish before the superior civilization, intelligence and energy of the white man. This has been the history of man in all ages of the world, and it is scarce ly possible for the American negro to form an exception to the general rule. As confirmatory of this view of the probable extinction of the negro by dis ease and starvation, we may give the following from the New York Tribune in relation to the negroes in the District of Columbia : " The most frightful mortality exists, ms • woo as SO coyms per week being furnished hp the QuartermaNter's Department, tonal of which are for children. It is the opinion of physicians practicing among them, and of other close. observers, that three fourths of these children die from neglect and Aunt.— In the family of a soldier, who lost his life in battle, live out of the ten children have died since NI arch,lS6s, tram the above causes, In another, three out of seven children of a soldier drafted in December last hare staiw ed to death within the last three weeks." " Abolish slavery," the radicals used ns.say, "and agitation about the negro will cease." A great many good-natured, credulous people believed them, but have at length found out their mistake. The radicals declare that " slavery is dead," but they dish up Sambo, as a subject of agitation, in a new form.— They now want to make him a voter, and threaten to prolong " the irrepressi ble conflict" unless this scheme to de grade the white man and the white man's ballot is carried out. But they would not rest content with even that. ''We must admit the negro to the Senate and the Social Oirele," exclaimed S. S. Foster, at an Abolition meeting recently held in Boston. This is what the radicals are aiming at, and, as soon as they can succeed thus far in their programme, the next step in order will be amalgamation and miscegenation. So we go from bad to worse. BEFORE TII E ELECTION, Hon. Thad deus Stevens 'went over to Gettysburg and made a speech in favor of paying the border people for the losses they sustained during the war. He did this to secure votes for the Republican can didates, and we do not doubt that his 4.peech produced much effect. Now that the election is over, the Express, one of Mr. Steven's organs in Lancaster, pub lishes an article on the subject of " War Damages," in which it is said that "Congress must set its face as flint against them all." - . The , worst feature of this article in the Express is its reflection on the patri otism and courage of the people of Pennsylvania. It injures them by deny ing them right to compensation for damages, and then insults them in the following terms : It was the misfortune of the Pennsylva nians that they lived where Lee could get at them, not to say their fault that they sat tamely down and 0 waited his coming, with liqle or no preparation joe ITNINbIIII,. There are a number of issues now be fore the people of the United States ; but the three most important and lead ing questions, which must soon be de cided one way or the other, may be brieti:/ summed up as follows : 1. Shall we give to the negro race the right to vote, and thereby acknowledge its right to demand a socialand political equality with the white race? 2. Shall we tolerate and defend a dis crimination in favor of the capitalist in levying taxes to pay the national debt? 3. Shall we encourage an opposition by Congress to the return of the South ern States into the Union, on the terms embraced in President Johnson's plan of re-union or re-construction? The Republican party everywhere takes the affirmative on these questions. The Democratic party takes the nega tive. In other words, the Republican says yes to all these propositions—the Democratic party says no. Let the people choose between them. Some thirty odd years ago the con stant cry of the opponents of the Demo cratic party was, "Lo, the Poor Indian!" •'hat answered its purpose then, And is buried wttlit the things of the past. Now th4r cry the Poor Negro!" Tills, too, will have its shout-lived day, and be buried in the tomb of .p 4 the ,pappl, ts. ps end, judging from signs of : the thAes,4 tit the near fAituie. So mote it be. A Prediction Continued Agitation The Issues of the Day Lo, the Poor Negro ! "Veeplig Sad and Lonely." The Pittsburg Gazette and the Hare risburg Telegraph are very unhappy-'.: because the President of the United, States has shown no dispgsition to;:con=. ter liigh ll •plaCes on the shoddy politi mans - pf Pennsylvania. The Telegraph,-. probably bortowing the complaining • - • language of OpLe Gaotte,.-givps utterance to its grief in the following terms: We do not know that it has ever occurred to our readers, because no public complaint seems to have been ever made, that the great State of. Pennsylvania—the very first, we think, in he Union, with a population amounting to one-sixth of that of all the free States—giving the very largest Majori ties for the Republican ticket, and making the first and largest contributions to the war, has not been honored since the time of Cameron with either a representative in the Cabinet or at any first-class court abroad, while New York (Mr. Seward's own State, which be has been unable to hold through out,) and Massachusetts furnished nearly all the foreign ambassadors! Even Ken tucky, which voted against us, .is distin guished by a leading mission and a seat in the Cabinet. Why this is so ive do not know. It is very unlikely that it could 'have been accidental. We presume this exclusion of Penn sylvania politicians from high office has not been accidental. Unless those who have been intimately acquainted with President Johnson, during his whole career in both branches of Congress are wholly mistaken about his character for honesty, it is the most natural thing in the world for him to withhold his con fidence from the leading Republican politicians of this State. Does any one suppose that President Johnson is so poorly read in the history of his own times as not to know all about the Win nebago fraud? . Does any one suppose that he does not know all the circum stances that accompanied the retire ment of Simon Cameron from Lincoln's Cabinet? Small chance for Cameron, if Johnson is the inflexibly honest man his old friends take him for, no matter how much crying the Gazette and the Telegraph may do for him. Besides, Johnson is a good judge of qualifications and he knows very well that even if Cameron were honest, his qualifications fit him for nothing higher than mem bership in the State Legislature. As for the rest of the Republican leagbrs, they are pretty generally " tarred with the same stick." They have made our State Capitol a roost for unclean birds, and its foul odor will cling to them all the days of theirl ife. No wonder Pres ident Johnson don't invite any of them to Washington. His keen sense of the "fitness of things" will prevent him from putting a buzzard in an eagle's nest. Speech or General Frank P. Blair One of the largest and most enthusias tic popular meetings ever held in Rolla, Missouri, convened in that place on the ISth inst., the object of which was to in dorse the policy or President Johnson, to bear testimony against the iniquity of the pew Constitution of Missouri, and to organize a party to carry out those principles, both in the National and State Governments. Gen. Frank P. Blair was the principal speaker upon the occasion, who enchained the vast assemblage with his brilliant bursts of eloquence. He pitched hot shot into the ranks of the Radicals, denouncing the abominations of the so-called new Constitution, opposing confiscation, dis franchisement, and negro suffrage, and heartily endorsing the restoration policy of President Johnson. He stated that of one hundred thousand bales of cotton seized in the vicinity of Vicksburg, and turned over to the Government, not a thousand bales were ever accounted for, and that the Provost Marshals of the West werea set o f plunderers and thieves generally; accused Secretary Stanton with being an original traitor ; said that Alexander H. -Stephens was, on the other hand, a loyal man, and that when Stephens was locked up, the true man was imprisoned, and the rascal and trai tor—meaning Stanton—was left on the outside. We regret our space will not allow us to give his speech entire, but must be content with the concluding portion: "It is thrown up to us that the pres ent is a rebel Democratic movement. The name does not scare me. I have fought side by 'side with Democrats du ring the last four years, and would rather keep company with them than with those who were rebels at first and turned Radicals afterwards because the emoluments of &lice lay in that direc tion. " Gen. Sherman is a fair illustration of what radicals can do. After his great campaign which resulted in the over throw of the rebellion and the salvation of the country, Stanton sought to de stroy him because he feared that he himself might be overshadowed by the worthy fame of the great commander. It was the 11 tdl.2al Directory of France recalling the victorious Napoleon. He returned to cover his enemies with eter nal shame. " I am asked what I will do with the negrces? I answer that I have already shown my friendship for them by four years of hard fighting, and I would now give them a chance to live and prosper in a climate and under circumstances where they could vindicate their man hood and their ability to maintain a civilization and a free Government. The negro belongs to the tropical or semi-tropical regions. In the temperate zone and in collision and competition with the Anglo-Saxon race, he will per ish like the Indians of this continen.t. I would give him agoud country, adapted to his nature, awl invite him to live in it and prosper. With proper' induce ments there would be no inure difficulty in finding colored emigrants than there was in finding settlers for the gold fields of California " THE AGE, acknowledging the receipt of letters from a number of gentlemen —some of them members of the Demo cratic State Committee—who urge a re turn to the old practice of holding the State Convention on the 4th of March, gives its own opinion In favor thereof. It correctly remarks that the postpone ments heretofore made brought with them uo solid advantages, whilst the 4th of March is hallowed by party as sociations, and is just remote enough from the day of contest to afford ample time for organization, without being so long as to weary or abate the interest of those who are called upon to participate in the active and laborous task of or ganizing, drilling and bringing to the polls the two hundred and sixty thou sand Democratic voters of the State. Where Davis May be Tried It is amusing says, the Philadelphia Ledger,'to see the straits that the sen sation correspondents are put to in order to cover up the ignorance they betray about the trial of Jefferson Davis. One of these had the whole affair arranged to his own satisfaction, as coming oft in the • Supreme Court of the United States, until it was shown that the Supreme Court has no original jurisdic. tion in the matter. He then turns about and says that Congress may, by special act, give such jurisdiction to the Court, &c. 'FOr such writers a short course of lessons in the Constitution in some good public school would be of advantage to the public. That instrument says that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall be tried by a jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previotigly ascertained law, I=l A CITIZEN of.

Senator Wilson. We print below a sketch of the speech, deli!ered by Henry Wilson, of Mas*t chusetts, at the Republican meeting' held in lirooklyzi,'New tei*, on, Tues-_-:., day eveninglast. Wilson tall& In tbe usual glib strain of a down-easttankee about liberty and slavery, things they know very little about in his quarter of the world, except the liberty the poor factory operatives enjoy of making slaves of themselves for the benefit of he stockholders of thd cotton mills.— The weariest and most forlorn-looking set of human beings that ever our eyes fell upon—those that looked the most completely worn out and exhausted by hard work in a bad atmosphere—were -the girls in a cotton factory in the town of Waltham, Mass., the home of Gen. N. P. Banks. A boy in the same factory, very appropriately called the "scaven ger boy," had to crawl about on. "all fours," like one of the inferior animals, in order to perform the work allotted to him. If the rice, cotton or cane fields of the South ever presented a labor scene more painful to look upon, we are duly thankful that we were not there to see it. Mr. Wilson affects to be gratified at Montgomery Blair's desertion of the Republican party. This is mere affects lion. The Blairs were the fathers of the Republican party. Old Frank Blair's genius (for mischief) moulded it and gave it vitality. There could be no more certain indication of its approach ing decline and speedy fall, than its abandonment by these men. They will, of course, be abused by the Abolition politicians whom they have elevated to power, but this will only incite them to greater efforts to pull down the rotten political house they were instrumental in building. That portion of Mr. Wilson's speech which relates to the National Debt is Ammended to the consideration of those Republicans who have charged the Democracy with intending to repu diate our national obligations. He says " the debt must be funded at a small rate of interest," and he "believes that if the matter were wisely managed it could be done at the rate of three per cent." This would be equivalent to a repudiation of one half the debt. The New England Yankees having managed to sell all their Government securities to the English and the Germans, and thus secured themselves, are now open ing out boldly in favor of reducing the rate of interest to three per cent. Wilson announced himself in favor of negro suffrage, but very judiciously ad ded that this "was not the question at issue." The " thinking, conscientious, God-fearing men," as he calls them, who compose an "overwhelming ma jority " of the Republican party, " think " quite too smartly to permit their "conscientious, God-fearing" principles to jeopardize their political success. -His conscience and his fear of God constrain Senator Wilson to pro claim himself in favor of negro suffrage; but as Republicitns differ on this subject, he is willing to strain his conscience and restrain his fear of God, and say that negro suffrage is not the issue, rather than incur the risk of defeat.— But whenever Republicans shall cease to "differ on this subject," or whenever the New England Yankees shall feel that it will be safe for them to insist upon negro suffrage everywhere, then these "conscientious, God-fearing men" will make negro suffrage the issue and drive the Republican party into its de fence and support. Wilson, with characteristic arrogance and impudence, wound up his shallow speech by " telling Gen. Slocum" cer tain things. There are certain other things which he might have told his auditors. He might have told them that he got a regiment to enlist in Massachu setts under false pretences—that he promised to lead them to the field, and actually went with them in uniform to Washington, but loafed around the Government Departments and the Hotels till Congress met, when he shed his military skin and sneaked into his seat in the Senate, on the cowardly pre text that his " great military knowledge and experience" made his presence there a 'public necessity ! Such is the mili tary history of the cowardly Yankee cur who has gone to New York to bark at a soldier like General Slocum ! Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was the next speaker. He said thatthe work of the soldier in sustaining the Union was well done, and it would be well for the country if the duties which now devolved upon statesmen were as Rvell performed. Two parties were now in the field. The republican party wasinspi red by liberty, while the other party was always under the domination of sla very. He eulogized the republican par ty, and said that it was a party that God Almighty brought into existence to ad vance the cause of Liberty in America. Mr. Blair thought the republican party had done its work, and he lett it. He (Senator Wilson) rejoiced in the recent victories; but he rejoiced more that the republican party had not the burden of carrying Montgomery Blair. (Great laughter and applause.) He (Blair) had shocked the sense ofjustice of the Amer ican people by his cruel and inhuman utterances towards the black men of the country. There were others who said they joined the republican party with mental reservations, and he said that tickets of leave would be given to such and no questions asked. The Senator proceeded:at considerable length to show what his party had done, claiming that it was the restorer of a broken Union and the emancipator of the country. He did not say that all its public men were good and wise, .but in its ranks were an overwhelming majority of the thinking, conscientious, God-fearipg men. In speaking of the national debt Mr. Wilson said that the debt must befunded at a small interest and thus save mil lions to the toiling people of the country; and he believed that if the matter were wisely managed it could be done at the rate of three per cent. In the approach ing Congress he asked the support and confidence of the State of New York. The material interests of the country demanded that the men who fought for the government shouldshape the future of the country. Until the men at Chi cago reconted what they said they should not be permitted to govern New York or to have any part in the govern ment. There were true and noble men in their ranks, but they were not likely to stay there long. The democratic party had raised annually a good crop of men for the republican party during the last ten years, and if the democrats were defeated next November the re publicans would have a great crop of excellent democrats through the winter. He criticised in severe terms the plat form of the Democracy, and said it talked the gibberish of satanic Democ racy. Last year it denounced Andy Johnson as a tyrant, but now it claimed to be his supporter. The next Congrdss meant to pass a bill which would secure liberty to all the emancipated men of the country. [Cheers.] Did the Dem ocratic party support the President in his endorsement of the doings of the last two sessions of Congress, and in his willingness to permit theblack men of the District of Columbia to vote, which the Congress would do by the passage of an act, which the President, he believed, would sign? The Demo cratic party supported the President be cause he pardoned their friends. He (Mr. Wilson) was in favor of issuing a proclamation of pardon to the Southern people, except two of three hundred of the leaders, Whom he would lay aside until they brought forth fruits meet for repentance. He would as soon pardon a rebel who fought against Grant and Sherman as forgive the men who, at Chicago, last year, when the Northhad the rebellion by the throat, set forth treasonable platform. Hp had rhifear th4tXOW york in No vember would viridipale her prinOiples, and New jersey .would elect a Legisla ture that would parry t4col2stituPonill amendment. • He (.'elzgtor frflacm) Nrl4, for negro suffrage(great apPlausp)-, put: that was not the question at issue. He told the democrats that republicans Al,tfered on this subject. The republi- Asti party was the outgroith of free dis ;elusion, and he claimed that they had the support of the Presidentof Congress and • the Supreme CoUrt.TheY would, bot ask the advice of rebels cir their syna, pathizers in the reconstruction cif the government. He would tell Gen:-Slo cum that he belonged to - a party who, inspired by liberty, rose from defeat to new conquests ; and he would tell him further that the republicans and war democrati of New York would sleep upon a field of victory on the 7th of No vember. (Cheers.) Montgomery Blair Again. A mass meeting of the citizens of Tal bot county, Md., who are opposed to the registry law and to negro suffrage was held in Easton on the 17th. The following letter from the Hon. Mont gomery Blair was read : WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 1865 GENTLEMEN: Your invitation to at tend the mass meeting of the people of Talbot on the 17th inst., came to hand this morning. I rggret that engage ments to speak in the State of New York, commencing next week, and to continue probably beyond the time for younmeeting, prevents me from prom ising to be with you. If it is in my power to be present, I will certainly avail myself of the occasion to meet the people of Talbot. The attempt to disfranchise our peo ple is but part of the scheme of the Northern Radicals to disfranchise the South. But I have no fear that the Maryland toadies to this ambitious and revolutionary party will meet with any countenance from our people. Whilst the war raged and this precious crew rioted in public plunder, it was possible to deceive the loyal people by the cry of " Copperhead" upon ever man who as serted the Constitutional rights of the people of Maryland and Southern States as States in the Union. But the time has come 'for a settlement with a gang of scoundrels who availed themselves of the public difficulties to perpetrate unnum bered crimes against the rightsof person and,property in our State. These crimes were all the more atrocious because they brought odium upon the, cause of the Union, yet the public mind was too much occupied with the greatcause, and they had too great a hold on the Depart ments, to fix public attention upon the perpetrators. But they are not forgot ten, nor will the Registry law save them. Its ostensibe purpose is to punish rebels, but its real object is to screen front punishment the lawless men, who under the cover of transcendent loyalty have really been the greatestoffen ders against the cause of the Union. Yours truly, M. I:lLain. Hon. Charles A. Eldredge to Joseph Holt. The following pointed and manly let ter from Hon. Charles A. Eldredge, Representative in Congress from the Fourth CongresSional District of -Wis consin, to Judge Advocate Holt, speaks for itself: FON DU LAC, Sept. 25, 1865. Judge Advocate General Holt : Ml' DEAR Six: The following circular letter addressed to me has been duly re ceived, to wit: WAR DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF MILITARY JUSTICE, WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 1865. By direction of the Secretary of War a number of copies of the argument of Hon. John. A. Bingham in the case of the assassin conspirators, and also a number of copies of the opinion of Attorney General Speed, are sent enclosed iu en velopes to you, in order that they may he well distributed throughout your district. It is especialiy desirable that the legal profession should be furnished with the information which these docu ments contain J. HOLT, Advocate General The copies of the argument and opin ion which you desire may be well dis tributed" in my district, are also re ceived. The importance of it to your self and.the Secretary of War may or may not justify the large expense con sequent upon the publication and dis tribution. The people of my district will not, I presume, mind the expense in these times of light taxation. But I trust you will pardon me the suggestion that black and horrible as is the crime in the consideration of all good men, of the assassination of President Lincoln, neither blackness of that crime,, nor the arguments and opinions of those learn ed gentlemen, will prevent my constitu ents, and when the histott thereof comes to be written, posterity gener ally, from branding military trials of civilians as infamous violations of our Constitution and laws. Do not, I prayyou, flatteryourself that you and the Secretary of War, can by the circulation of these documents at ycur own or the people's expense, con vince your .countrymen that arrests without warrant, imprisonment without trial, sentences without conviction, trial without indictment or jury, and the worse than mockery of your victims in military trials are anything but crimes —gross outrctges of the people's rights and liberties and foul violations of the people's Constitution.

John C. Fremont It is so long since we heard anything of John C. Fremont, that we were not positive he was still alive. BUt a St. Louis correspondent of the Philadel phia Press, writing on the 24th of Octo ber, gives us the following information concerning him : General Fremont is expected here to day or to-morrow, and will at once as sume the management of the extensive iron-works in the upper part of the city for which he has•paid $300,000. There is no mistake about this matter. The sale has actually taken place, and the transfer of all the shops, rolling-mills, buildings, engines, machinery, &c., will be completed as soon as Fremont arrives. These works were owned by Chouteau, Harrison ik Valle, and have been in ope ration for some years, engaged princi pally in the manufacture of railroad iron and nails. The company represented by General Fremont also owns large tracts of land at " Pilot .I.tinob," where the famous "Iron Mountain" is situated, and from these lands will be drawn the ore that is to he manufactured into various ar ticles at the works here. Extensive ad ditions will necessarily have to be made to the smeltingfurnaces, shops, &c., now on the ground at the mines. These labors, extensive as they are, do not embrace all within Fremonts cal culation. Some four or five hundred miles of new railroad are to be built in Missouri during the next ten years, and the General is already trying to gel the most of that into his hands. Besides these, Fremont will take a hand in politics, and, from his known sentiments, will unquestionably affili ate with and be placed at the head of the radical element in opposition to Frank Blair, who will find him a tough customer. Frank has things pretty much his own way now, a 9 there is no one here heavy enough to compete with him. THE AMOUNT of cool impudence that can be put inside of an " old white coat" is really amazing. At the very time when Horace Greeley was stoutly maintaining the right of the Southern States to secede, Emerson Etheridge was fighting desperately against seces sion in Tennessee. Yet these well known facts are insufficient to restrain the New York Tribune from stigmatiz ing Etheridge as a " copperhead." Witness the following from yesterday's issue : Emerson Etheridge has been acquitted of whatever it wasthat was laid to his charge. We are heartily glad of it. Etheridge is a sorehead and a Copperhead, with a genius for "railing accusations ;" but he has done nothing deserving of conviction and pun ishment. Henceforth, we trust, our Mili tary satraps will curb their propensity to play " fantastic tricks," and let Copperheads say what they please. They will feel better for it, while the Republic will not be im periled. The crisis is past, and arbitrary arrests of civilians are (or should be) played out. PROF. JOHN E. WORCESTER, LL.

Wendell - PhlUlps Attacks the President. Wendell Phillips, of Boston, the well known leader of the Stevens and Sum iier,radictila, delivered a. speech at the 'coopiVnstituteAti Is . TeW,lrork city on ,• • Wedfiesdliiy evening lalt , in which e , denounce " President Johnson-in very .strong and even marse terms. - We take the following paragraphs . ..from the World's report of his perfoinitince:. Going on with the same line of argu ment as in the former speech, he com menced his attacks on President John son, all of which were applauded. The President, he said, received the South Carolina delegation with all the respect with which a delegation from thatstate could ever have been received. They asked him abdut, Jeff Davis. He said, "Of course, he may be tried, but there is clemency behind. " In other words, "Have no fear for Jeff. I want him tried for the sake of appearances, but there is a clemency behind. Go home and have no fear." There is nearly all the old deference in his man n er to south erners. If there is anything that makes President Johnson's knees knock to gether it is the theory of state sovereignty. Then the President goes out to a regiment of negroes, and says : " Gentlemen !'•—no he didn't say gentlemen ; he made no such lapsus as that; he said, " May I call you countrymen ?" [Laughter.] Well, I don't know whether he can, but J. know every American ought. [Tre mendous applause.] He then goes on to advise the negroes. The Southerners didn't want any counsel. They had lived for months on the charity of the Government, but he did not tell them, as he told the negroes, to go to work. John C. Calhoun could not have been sounder on the subject of State sover eignty than Andrew Johnson. In talk ing to the negroes the strongest South erner could not have been sounder on the question of the impracticability of the two races living together on an equality. .He says, "May I call you countrymen ?" Andrew Jackson, who was made in a different mould, years ago looked into the faces of colored sol diers, and said, " Fellow-citizens." [Great applause.] The Andrew Jack sons are extinct. Mr. Phillips, instead of saying " God grant that no Swift or Jerrold with his immortal pen hold up that speech to scorn and indignation," put it in the af firmative and said, " One hundred years hence if that speechls remembered some Dean Swift or Jerrold will hold it up with his immortal pen to the s c orn and contempt of the ages." This was re ceived with unanimous and long con tinued applause from the audience. Mr. Phillips repeated his statement that the President was the most impu dent man in America, and this was re ceived with loud laughter and applause. My charge against the President is that he has debauched the moral sense of the North on this question. (Loud applause.) My charge against the Presi. dent of the United States is that he has silenced the Republican party on this question. If it were possible and con sistent with the nature of our govern ment, now is the time contemplated by the fathers, when such a magistrate should be impeached! (Tremendous cheering. When thecheering subsided, two or three hisses were heard from frightened Republicans, and these being continued, were drowned three several times by great cheering). What we want is an overwhelming public sentiment to defy the despotism and illegal action of the administration —(loud applau,e)-,to rouse the cabinet and Senate totiteir duty. Last March, Charles Sumner found but eleven men to stand at Ids side. There has been ncfthing to occur during the summer to increase their number. Unless there is .ti , iniething more of intelligence and patriotism to stand true to the nation's highest need beneath the outside of political organization, then, sure as fate, we are to be robbed in politics of one half of what we had gained in battle, and our children are to refight this battle —another civil waror another perpetual political struggle. But Mr. Phililips said he did not despair. Abraham Lincoln could not baulk, nor Andrew Johnson betray, as much as the nation has achieved. (Cheers.) This revolution would have gained us tenfold what it has if the RepUblican party had put a northerner, and not a southerner, into the presidential chair. Frightful Steamboat Explosion NEW YORK, Oct. 291—This morning, at a quarter before six o'clock, while abreast of Twentieth street, North river, the port boiler of the steamboat St. John, of the People's Albany line, ex ploded, Seven persons were killed, seventeen scalded and one is missing. There were only about 100 persons aboard, so that the casualties are not so great as they would have been at the height of the summer travel. At the time of the explosion the en gine was making about 13 revolutions per minute, and she was carrying steam pressure from 26 to 28 lbs. per square inch. The;St. John usually carries 30 lbs., and is licensed for 33 lbs., but the safety valves are weighed at 33 lbs. None of the engineers present could give us the cause of the explosion, and all regard it as a profound mystery which can only be solved by a thorough investigation. At the time'of the ex plosion there were two firemen in the boiler room, one of whom, a French than, name unknown, jumped over board and swam for the shore, but is believed to have been drowned The other ran out on the main deck and es caped all harm. The steam, owing to the position of the boiler, did not affect the main deck as much as it, did the main saloon, but John Anderson, a deck hand, was se verely burned. The rent in the boiler, which was for tunately located between the guards, is about 6 feet long and 3 deep, leaving an opening into which four men could easily enter the boiler. The whole up per edge of the sheet is torn off, reveal ing the entire inner part of the boiler. The steam was followed by tons of scalding water, which passed through the stat rooms 119, 121 and 123, and rolling in a torrent across the deck en tered the opposite staterooms, and in a few seconds the boiling sea was at least five inches deep on the floor and ad jacent rooms. The explosion completely demolished state-rooms Nos. 121 and 123, and wrecked No. 110 in a terrible manner, and tore up the hurricane deck, making splinters for a long distance. Medical assistance was immediately securectin the persons of Drs. Ball and White, and up to the time of their arri val Captain Peck and Mr. Colgrove, the clerk and all the attaches of the boat did every thing in their power to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunates. As soon as she came to the dock, the police took possession of the entrance and kept off the throng which had heard of the disaster, and eagerly sought in formation. The scene on board wassad. Forward, near the engine room bulk head, lay the dead, first a mother and her children, next a mother and child, whose husband and father lay at the other end of the saloon, suffering tor tures inexpressible; next a mother and wife, and by her head sat the husband. He was alive, so was their child. He had gone out of their room just before the accident occurred. A man lay in this group. The following are their names: Mr. Brooks, of New York; Mrs. Wallaber and two children, of Albany ; Mrs. Archambly and child, of Albany; Mrs. Julia E. Reynolds, of Brooklyn. The following were badly scalded: Mr. Searle, baggage master, severely, can not survive ; Mr. Arehambly, severe ly; F. Lyons and wife, of Yorkville, severely; S. W. Northrup, of Albany; X. Sever, of Batavia, slightly; J. Currughan, of New York, his wife and two daughters, all having their feet badly scalded; C. E. Saulspaugh and wife, of Rome, feet badly scalded; Mr. Coyle, of Albany, slightly ; H. Dudley, of Brooklyn, slightly; Mr. Caldwell, of Albany, slightly. Military Bald Some four or five members of Co. M, 22d Penna. Cavalry, made a raid on the Fulton House, in this borough, on Sun day night last, breaking windows, forcing open the bar, and cleaning out the office of Geo. A. Smith, Esq., in the southeast corner of the building. No resistance being offered they had things pretty much their own way, but on Monday morning Mr. Smith noiified them that they must pay for their fun of the night before to the tune of one hundred and fifty dollars.

ANDREW JOHNSON. By the President: Wm. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. Greene County Gold and 011. We clip the - following interesting items from the Waynesburg Messenger of Wednesday last. So good a Demo cratic county as Greeneought to be bless ed with both gold and oil, and we trust she has got them : GOLD ON DUNKARD.—We understand from persons lately from the Dunkard region that some tine specimens of gold ore have been found on the farm of Robert Keener. One of these specimens was sent to Philadelphia, where it was assayed, and proved to be a tine quality of ore. The lump sent yielded, we be lieve, something over two dollars worth of the precious metal. We have also seen in the possession of Joseph 0. Ritchie, Esq., of this place, some specimens of ore from the " Stella well," which is said by those who have seen the specimens from the Keener farm, to be of the same appearance and properties. A NEw OIL STRIKE.—On the author ity of Mr. J. Lee Englebert, we are pleased to state to the public, that there has been a new strike of oil on the farm of John Bell, Esq., in the " Bell Well" owned by the Bell Farm Petroleum and Central Company of Philadelphia, on Ten Mile Creek. The oil was discovered by the superintendant of the well and Mr. Englebert, at the depth of six hun dred and forty feet; and these gentle men think that if they had not' stuck' their sand pump some days since, that there might possibly be a 'flow' of oil. They are, however, confident that they have struck oil in some considerable quantities, as quite a quantity of ap parently good oil is found bubbling and floating around the top of the well. Colorado Productions A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Denver City, gives Colorado Territory credit for raising very big cabbage and very heavy grain crops. He says: I have visited several of the ranches (as they are called) or farms. Some which had been surrounded with ditches or aquaries filled with water, early in the season escaped the ravages of grass hoppers, and they have been very pro ductive in grain and vegetables. I saw a cabbage grown upon one of them Which weighed forty-nine pounds. The modest price of S 2 was asked for it, the usual charge being forty cents per pound. It measured eighteen inches in diame ter, exclusive of the outer leaves. It is generally believed that, if the grasshoppers bad not destroyed so large a portion of the crops last spring, sup plies would have been cheap and abun dant, and that wheat would probably have sold here for 524 per bushel. The average wheat crop on irrigated land is about twenty or twenty-five bushels to the acre ; but the product in some cases far exceeds the product of the best-tilled land in the East. Thus, on one of the farms I visited, three-quarters of a bushel of seed of what is called seven headed wheat had been sown on one and one-quarter acre of land, and it pro duced seventy-four bushels, weighing sixty-four pounds to the bushel. I saw grass growing on land that had been temporarily overflowed, which was fully seven feet high, reaching far above my head as I stood beside it. On the elevated ground, where the land seemed almost barren, hundreds of animals were grazing on nutritious 'little tufts of buffalo grass which apparently would not sustain the one hundredth part of the stock it constantly supports and fattens. President Johnson's New Carriage The Philadelphia papers state that Beckhaus & Allgaier, carriage builders, of that city, have just completed for President Johnson a com modious family carriage. The style is that of a round bottom, close panelled loop coach, the body-front resting upon two iron scroll stays or loops, connected with the front running gear, upon which rests the driver's seat, supported by two scroll stays, having for a base an oval-shaped box or magazine. Two drivers' seats have been prepared, either one to be used as occasion requires. One is a ham mer cloth seat, the whole being hand somely trimmed with heavy " Dick ey seat," of the usual style. There are also panels and glasses to the frontquar ter, which may be adjusted at will. The interior of the vehicle is modestly and at the same time richly arranged. It is trimmed with dark rich green coteline, the cushions and back having springs within, extremely elastic and comfort able. An oval mirror is set in the trim ruing of the back quarter, and by means of a speaking tube, neatly inserted with in the framework of the carriage, the occupants are enabled to communicate with the driver without either rising from their seats. The color of the panels is a rich dark plum. The surface has a polish almost equal to that of a mirror. It will be remembered thatsome gentle men of New York presented President Johnson with a carriage and a part of horses, which gift he, however, respect fully declined.— IVashington Union. The Mississippi Legislature. The majority of the Senators are old men, who apparently fully realize the importance and responsibility of their positions under the changed condition of affairs in their State. There is great anxiety among them to get the plod ding preliminary work of their session disposed of and reach the legislation which ,is to fix the position and rela tions of the freedmen, with a speech upon which they are nearly all pre pared. That they are disposed to follow the lead of ex-Governor Sharkey in giving the freedmen the benefit of the courts is indicated by their recently tabling, by a vote of twenty-one toeight; a resolution Which declared that the colored people should have r no greater civil, political or social rights Ahan those enjoyed by free negroes bTfore the rebellion. In the House of Repre sentatives, however, there is a stronger opposition to this concession; but even here there is a majority of eleven in favor of supporting Mr. Sharkey's pol icy. A large number of the members of this body are ex-rebel officers, and many. of them have lost a leg or an arm in the rebel service. These men, it is said, .have renewed their allegiance to the government in much better faith, more cheerfully acquiesce in the radi cal changes effected,, are more reliable, and are disposed to be far more liberal to the negro, than those members who kept out of the fray, but who are still bitter secessionists. George Clark drew a 270 lb. wagon from Skowhegan, Me., to Angnsta,.l2 it 24. Wm., on a bet of IZ! lirthrtiliflanraittrte WY* Nfollinres t At the" assembling iiat - tofiki4s in December,. the f hit - important, ,ques tton that will arise will be upon the ad- - mission of repreiientatives'frdie i b . States lately in rebellion. It will come up before that body will be 'organized even, and in the process of organization.' And, however it may be decided by the Clerk of the old House of Representa tives, who holds his office, according., to law, till the new House be _organized and for the purpose of organizing whether he should decide to place the Southern representatives on the 011 and admit them to a participation in the election of Speaker or not, the question of their right to seats; with all the po litical-bearings,•will, be discussed. If the Clerk, Mr. Mc - Pherson, shoald re fuse to put their names on the roll the question would stand over till after the election of Speaker,' and the discussion deferred till the House be organized and in full working order.— But whenever the debate may arise, before or after the Speaker is elected, it will be very important, and probably exciting. The question is entirely a new one, and there is' no precedent to guide either the Clerk or the House. The action of the Clerk, then, is of the highest importance. There is no one to control him. Congress does not exist till organized. Neither the Presi dent nor any other officer of any depart ment of the government has authority in the matter. If he should adopt the theory of the admioistration, that the late rebel States never have been out of the Union, and have ceased to be meuu hers of it; that, in fact, they have not absolved and could not absolve their federal relations with the other States, he ought to place the names of the rep resentatives on the roll, provided the President should declare the rebellion suppressed and the States to be exercising their funetions„ again as heretofore, and provided there be an law hindering him from doing so. It is said by the radicals, who oppose the ad mission of the Southern members, that there is a law which will prevent the Clerk giving to these members certifi cates of admission to the floor of Con gress till their claims and eligibility to seats he determined by the House. On the other hand, it is said that this act referred to, which was passed during the rebellion, is neither applicable nor constitutional. Without discussing this question, it is evident that a grave re sponsibility resits upon the Clerk. He must decide what his duty is legally in the case ;and if there be a doubt us to the legality or constitutionality of re fusing to place the names of these mem bers on the roll he should decide in ac cordance with the restoration policy and-wish of the President, and fur the peace, harmony, and best interests of the country. The admission of the Southern repre sentatives to the floor by his certificates, whereby they may participate in the election of a Speaker, would probably , settle the matter It is not at all likely' they would be turned out afterward.— But, looking at the political character of the House, if organized without them, we apprehend the conflict on the subject would be fearful. Indeed, it is doubtful whether they would be admit ted at all. The radical element may be so strong and determined that these gentlemen may be sent back to their homes, and the country kept in a state of anarchy. We recommend Mr. Mc• Pherson to ponder well over these things, and above all to put himself rapport with President Johnson. Let him learp what the wishes and policy of the President are, and act in accord ance with these. He will be right theu,, and will obtain the commendation of the country. The consequences that would follow a rejection of the Southern members to. seats in Congress, or a prolonged agita tion on the subject, can be easily im agined. Every one looks with satis faction, if not admiration, upon the successful restoration policy of the Pres ident. The Southern people, frankly accepting the arbitrament of war, have gone to work in good earnest to bring themselves in friendly political rela tions with the North. Shall they be disappointed? Is the work of the ad ministration to he frustrated or delayed by a vindictive faction of radicals? Is it wise to keep open the wounds and alive the animosities made by the war? The response of the whole country, apart from a certain set of crazy and selfish politicians, is, No. From the Atlantic to the P acific, a and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, the response is, No. There is among the people a gen eral sentiment of.conciliation and a de sire to stimulate fraternal feel ings. We want no more section al agitation. By nature we are a homogeneous people. The causes that divided us, and made one section to-the other, have been swept away, and the bitter feelings which the war inflamed may soon be extinguished by magnanimity, conciliation, and pride in a common and mighty country. If we were to treat the Southerners still as a conquered people, refuse them the political privileges they always enjoyed in common with ourselves, and conse quently alienate their feelings and ex cite their passions, what could we ex pect but continued trouble? Is not his tory throughout all its pages full of ex amples to warn us against such a fatal course? We need domestic quiet. We have to provide for our enormous debt and maintain the credit of the Govern ment. This can only be done by peace and harmony at home and by the greatest development of our resources. Continued agitation would paralyze our efforts and destroy confidence. We should have to keep a large army, a host of satraps spread over the South, and maintain despotic authority, all of which would increase our burdens, limit our means and endanger our own liber ties. There are, too, other important con siderations, showing Why we ought to admit the representatives of the South ern States into Congress at once in or der to have domestic tranquility and cement the bonds of union. Our foreign relatiOns demand the attention of the country and government. Questions ,pf great magnitude loom up that require all the sagacity and firmness of the government and unity of the people to solve them with dignity and safety. We have the difficulty with England relative to our claims to settle, which at present has rather an ugly appear ance. There is the question of Mexico, and a settlement to be made with Euro pean Powers as to a fixed American policy regarding the affairs of this con tinent. Besides, we require well es tablished international laws concerning maritime matters, neutrals, blockade, and other things, about which the pres ent laws arc very loose. Such weighty questions are pressing upon us and ought to he settled. If the country should be distracted by such a policy as the radicals would pursue, these questions must either remain unsettled or foreign Powers will take advantage of our domestic troubles to press upon us humiliating terms. For all these reasons, and many more, we hope to see the restoration of the Southern States completed by the admission of their representatives in Congress as soon as that body shall meet, and thus have peace and harmony restored to the whole country. This is the sentiment of the people also ; and we give the Jacobin radicals warning, that if they oppoSe such a wise and healing course they will be defeated, overwhelmed; with obloquy, and will never be hearth of again, except to be execrated, as their prototypes, the French Jacobins, were. —New York Herald.
