Chairman, J oil it IV. Forney If there is one man more tlmn ally oilier in the United Staten Hunk to the lowest depths of infamy and disgrace as a politician, that man is the one whoso name heads tliiH article. With more than the ordinary share of talent pos sessed by newspaper writers, and which if directed in the right channel might be potential for good, his total lack of principle and his unscrupulous and fiendish malignity make him a danger ous member'of society and a disgrace to the profession of journalism. Years ago it was remarked by Gen. Cameron, when interrogated in reference to his opposition to Mr. Buchanan, that he had nothing personally or politically against the latter gentleman, and even intimated that lie might be induced to favor his election to the Presidency, but that he could not be his friend so long as he permitted his dog Forney to bark at his heels and constantly annoy him with his villaiuons slanders and abuse. This was doubtless true. Gen. Cam eron had, at that time, the most sover eign contempt for Forney, and was loutli to tolerate him in his presence. _ I !ut l ' llu ’s changed. Upon the acces sion of Mr. Uincoln to power, Cameron became tSeoretnry ol War, and Forney, who had already betrayed the Demo cratic party and sold himself to the Abo litionists, villi that obsequiousness which always characterizes those who “ Ik'ucl Iho pllunt hinges of the Tlml llullL may lulluw iuwnin Ki - immediately turned about ami com menced bespattering the man with ful some praise who for loug years had been the object of his unceasing defamation and abuse. Not only so; but to in gratiate himself the more in the good opinion of liis new masters, lie at once inaugurated the vilest system of mis representation and abuse against Air. Buchanan and the Democratic party generally of which his malignant nature was capable; aud this he has continued to follow up, in his speeches and edito rials, to the present iiqjir. Such, how ever, is the course of alHngrates. So it has been in all past history, and so it will continue to be, we suppose, for all time to come. Forney has now got to the end of the tether. He may continue to vilify and malign the best men of the country at will, but his power for mischief is gone. Like 1 every other dog he has had his day, and he is uo longer capable of in stilling bis poison into the public mind. He is despised by the Democrats, from whoie ranks he so basely deserted, and is distrusted by the Republicans who have learned his true character. He may fret and fume and spit his venom all around, but it no longer hurts any body, and in a short time he will have sunk so low in the estimation even of his new allies, to say nothing of the loathing and disgust entertained for him by the Democratic party, that there will be none so poor as to do him rever ence. So mote it be. 1 udge Dewey, of the Massachusetts Su preme .Court, died on Wednesday, aged 70years. Peace or War. Ib the war over or Is it not? The Pres ident eays r it is—the Radicals say It is not. Which are we to believe? Let us look at the facts. The main army of the Confederates was Surrendered by General Lee about Sixteen months ago," and within one monthhereafter all the remaining bodies of trbbps in rebellion, including the army of GSneral Johnsop, laid down their armß and surrendered to the armies ’of the United States. Since then there has not been an armed foe against the authority of the General Government in any portion of the Union, and the civil law has been fully established all over the South. The issue was squarely made, and se cession having been overpowered and defeated at all points, the people of that region have quietly submitted to their fate, have acknowledged the fact, and are now, as they have been for more than a year past, only anxious for the restoration of peace and unity, and to regain their status as members of the great Republic. If this condition of things is not an evidence of the end of the war, then we should like to know what is. President Johnson accepts it as a fixed fact. Gen erals Grant and Siierman consider the war ended, JPhe brave volunteers who followed the flag for four long and weary years are of the same opinion. And the conservative and patriotic people every where believe that peace prevails, and that there is no longer any armed or organized resistance to the authority of the General Government in any of the thirty-six States of the Union. If these are facts, and who will dare gainsay them, we ask in all candor why it is that the Radical leaders— Stevens Sumner, Greeley, Wade, and the rest of the malignants—still persist in saying that tho war is not ended ? There can be but one answer. These men are dis unionists of the worst stamp, and are determined to prevent a restoration so much desired by every lover and well wisher of his country. They are deter mined to retain their ill-gotten power, even at the expense of the Union itself. Like Milton’s devil, they would rather “rule in hell than serve in heaven;” but, like Lucifer, they are destined to a fearful overthrow, by a power much greater than their own. Potent only lor mischief, their race is nearly run, and they will be driven from their high places of power by an outraged and in sulted constituency, and their memory will be loathed by the people whose in terests they have so basely betrayed. Down the Hatchway. An English paper says that one day, when the flagship of uu English com modore wua lying in the Bay of Naples, she was honored by a visit from the king and royal family, with suite, who came out in gilded barges and the full paradeof royalty. Theship wasdressed from deck to truck in holiday attire ; side boys were mustered at the ropes, the marines presented arms, and the guns thundered forth a royal salute, and thoenmmodore welcomed his guests to the quarter deck with the politeness befitting an ofiieer of rank. One of the suite, a spindle-shanked and gaudily attired Neapolitan, Htrayed away from the party, and cruising about midships espied tv windsuil, an object lio had never seen before. As U was fully expanded by the air, lie took it for a pillar, and, folding his arms, leaned against it, when it yielded to ills weight and lie disappeared below, heels over head, witli a velocity that was actually mar velous, as was Ills escape from any in jury. The mishap chanced to have only one witness. Tills was a veteran tar, who, approaching the quarter-deck and touching his hat, said respectfully, “ J beg pardon, commodore, but one of them ere kings lias fell down the hatch way.” As gorgeous a sight ns tills royal visit to tlie English llagshlp, und one that will be distinguished by an equally lu dicrous incident with that abovo re lated, is now to lio seen in Pennsylva nia. This glorious old Ship of State is being inspected by those “spindle shanked ” shoddy kings, Cameron, Cur tin aud Geary, and by. that lickspittle of shoddy aristocracy, John W. Forney, “ Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these.” Cameron is decked out in all the barbaric splendor ol a Winnebago Chief. Curtin is gor geously attired in robes made up (like liis speeches) of Union Flags trimmed with tail feathers of the American Eagle. Geary wears a three-cocked hat as big as Bolivar Heights, and is decorated with military trappings enough to ex cite the envy of a Turkish Bashau with Three Tails. Forney is wrapped up in ills own conceit, tlie gayest apparel he could possibly put on, and "looks every inch a king of the “ Bread and Butter Brigade.” All is going swimmingly with their royal highness now. The old ship is riding in smooth water; but when the waves of public opinion, swelling up from the ballot-boxes on tlie night of tlie second Tuesday of Oc tober, shall lock her to and fro, the startling uewk will Hash along the wires that “all of than ere kings has fell down the hatchway," - - Tlie Express Thumping Old Thud, We are gratified to find the Express pitching into Tliaddeus Stevens, but, considering the friendly relations that have heretofore existed between them, we think it should not have pitched in so roughly., To accuse him of a “ dis honorable action,” to charge him with u “ breach of truHt,” and to say tliat his conduct “will be forever a stigma on tlieThirty-nintil Congress,” may he said to be going quite as far as either per sonal or political antagonism, or both combined, would wurrant even in the most exciting campaign. The Express , referring to the late Congressional increase of salary, says : No one condemns more heartily than our holvos tlie into dishonorable action of the Congress of the United Stales, in voting themselves more money than the people, h.v their former agents, liaveseen lit to give thotn. It was a breach of trust, and will lie forever u stigma on the Thirty-Ninth Con gress. Tlie report of the conference commit tee on tlie bill increasing the pay of members of Congress was adopted by tlie House of Representatives at a quar ter past eight o’clock on the morning of tlie 28th of July, and immediately there afler the House adjourned till eleven A. INI. on tlie same day. When the House re-assembled, the following took place: Mi. Steveus said ho had been lying down asleep this morning who,, the vote was taken on the conierence report on the Civil Appropriation Bill. He did not like to an pear as evading responsibility and Ikere iore moved to suspend the rules so that hi„ vote might be recorded. hat hls 1 The rules wore suspended and Mr Sto t ens laid ins,vole.recorded in the affirmative. We join the Express in condemning this vote of Mr. Stevens to increase liis own pay, hut we think it should not denounce a man of liis age in the ex tremely strong terms it has employed. We know very well how hard it is for a Radical to be moderate in anything but still we think the Express, by a strong effort, might manage to soften .its language when it has occasion again to eoiidemu Mr. Stevens. A Capital Hit, The New York Herald of yesterday has the following capital hit; A Good Report from Memphis,— Memphis has been noticeableforitsturbulence. There have been riots there the circumstance at tending which required an investigation from a half dozen commissioners, includingsome appointed by Congress. Now they haveshot an editor. He was not a negro. The moral sentiment of Memphis is evidently improv- The War Actually Ended. It has been thought that the last of Gen. Lee’s army had made its final Burrender long ago; but this was hot so. On Wednesday lour Confederate soldiere* with names and descriptive lists as follows, Anthony Monkas, Co. E, 52d Georgia infantry, third army corps, Army of Northern Virginia, Thos. Wellß.do., Jame*Brinberter,dl)., and Allan Tewsberry, 43d-Louisiana, do., entered Petersburg, Va., with their muskets and accoutrements, stacked arms in front of headquarters, sent in in word that they were the remnant of the Army of Northern Virginia,* and that they wished to surrender upon the conditions accorded to the main body. They represented that after the Appo mattox Court House fight they were “ cut off,” and resolving uever to sur render, hid themselves in a cave on the banks of the Appomattox river, some miles from Petersburg, and have sub sisted ever since upon fish from the river, corn, “stray pigs caught away from their mothers,” and whatever they could gather byscourlDg the coun try. At length, learning from a colored man that the Confederacy was certainly “ gone up,” they thought better of their first determination, and accordingly gave themselves up. They were very ragged and filthy, but the citizens fur nished them with new suits, and the commandant, who was much amused at the incident, sent them off to their homes rejoicing. Perhaps the radicals knew all the while that this portion of Gen. Lee’s army was still in the field ; hence their policy, on the theory that the war was not over. We hope this surrender of the last remnant of Lee’s once formidable army will allay their fears and convince them that the rebellion is really at an end ! Watchman! What of tho Night? A midnight gloom has been over the country for the last flveorsix years, and no one knew how or when it was to end. It was supposed that when the war cloud passed away some sixteen months ago, and the rebel armies surrendered to Generals Grant and Sherman, we should then, at once, enjoy the sun shine of peace and prosperity as a Na tion ; but not so. Peace was just what the Radical majority in Congress did not want, for they well knew that with the return of concord and harmony their occupation was gone, aud their plunder of the treasury would cease. Hence they have sought every meaus in their power to prevent a restoration of the Union, and evince by tlnsir conduct a determination to ruin thecountry rattier than surrender their ill-gotten power. But, thunks to an overruling Provi dence and the wisdom and patriotism of President Johnson, the day is begin i\ lug to break, and streaks of light are shooting up all around the political horizon. Tho dark clouds of anarchy and error and outruge upon tho rights and liberties of the people are being rapidly dispelled by the light of truth and experience, and the signs of the times all give hopeful indication that the day is nour at hand when we shall again be able to bask in tho full meridi an splendor of a regenerated, rejuvena ted and glorious Union. Wo, therefore,say toourfrlcuds every where, be of good courage; tho night s fur spent, and the brilliant sunlight of peace, happiness and prosperity is very near at hand, even at our doors. The Conservative people throughout the length and breadth of the Republic are moving forward in solid column, ami keeping step to the music of tho Union. They are determined to purge the hal lowed temple of freedom of the foul presence of the money changers, and reinstate Die government ns it existed in the halcyon days of Washington and Jefferson and Jackson. Courage, there fore, friends. .Strike boldly for liberty and Union. They are one and insepa rable. Let these be your watchwords, and let your battle-cry be the Union aud tho Constitution, now and forever. . The Elections in 1800, Past and to Come. i Those who have paid much attention, says tlie Cincinnati Enquirer, to the ebbs ■ and blows of public sentiment, as ex i hibited in popular elections, have • always remarked the affinity between ■ tlie different States and observed that i tlie first results in the beginning of a 1 year are generally good indications of . those that are to come. Ever since 1840 I this peculiarity has been thedistinguish -1 ing feature of our political campaigns. • In fact, the elections that commence i badly for a party keep growing worse . and progress in that direction to the end t of the year in a sort of geometrical pro gression. It is in view of this fact that we have every thing to encourage us in theaspect of the times. The first important elec tion was in Connecticut. Theßadicals there, from having a majority of 10,000, were cut down to GOO, and it was only by the most tremendous exertions that they were saved from utter defeat. Then came Oregon and Nebraska, where there were the closest contests, and in each of which the Radical ma jority was reduced almost to zero. Kentucky was uext on the list. In 1860 she was about a tie between the parties, but this yearshegoes 40,000 Democratic. This glorious result is responded to by a Democratic triumph in tlie distant Ter ritory of Colorado, whose settlers have recently met there from all the States, Democrats may rest assured that it is no accident that causes this series of Democratic victories und gains. Neither is it owing to local causes, for they would not he likely to liuppon in so many and different parts of the coun try. They are caused by a wide-spread dissatisfaction with the course of the Radical majority in Congress. This dissatisfaction will be the more Btrongly marked and developed in the elections yet to come off. In all the great States the Radicals will lose in the same, if not greater, ratio than they have in Con necticut, Oregon, Nebraska, Colorado and Kentucky. In all of them they will be beaten. The hand-writing ison. tlie wall. The people of Kentucky and Colorado have changed no more than will the men of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. The Democratic column, assisted by its con servative allies in other parties, is marching resistlessly to victory. Who arc Responsible? The Express, with characteristic ef frontery, is laboring hard to deceive its readers into the belief that the Demo crats in Congress are responsible for the increase in their salaries from $3,000 to So,ooo per annum. The gullibility of its patrons must be very great indeed, if they can be made to swallow such silly twaddle as that sheet puts forth from day to day. Just think of it for a mo ment. The Abolitionists, or Radicalsi as they are now called, have a majority of two-thirds in the Senate and more than three to one in the House of Rep resentatives, and can pass any bill they please, even over the Presidential veto, and yet our neighbors would fain make the public believe that they are not re sponsible for all the acts of the present Congress! The thing is too bare-faced and siliy to elicit a reply. If the readerB of that paper are not the most stupid set of bipeds in Christendom, they must look upon such ridiculous effusions as an insult to their intelligence and de serving of nothing but the most sover eign contempt, Thetr-DoodHb BraM; There is evidently great trepidation in the Radical ranks all over the coun tty. They begin to seethe hand-wilting on the wall—hence the insanp appeals of their press, hot* only herein Penn sylvania, but throughout the entire North. The National Union Conven tion isagreatsourceof trouble; and they are resorting, to all. possible.meahi to’ counteract the "happy effect it has al-' ready had on the public mind. And, as If to verify'the truth of the old adage that “ misfortunes never come single,” they .are now perplexed beyondmeasure atthe call tnadeby alarge number of the army officers— the fighting Generals of the war—for a Soldiers’ Conventionto be held at Cleveland on the 17th of Sep tember, to sustain President Johnson in his patriotic efforts for a restoration of the Union. They also see that the great Democratic party of the country was never more firmly united, and that thousands and tens of thousands of con servative Republicans are joining heart and hand with them to crush out of ex istence the Radical faction which has driven the Nation to the very verge of bankruptcy, anarchy and destruction. All this is so apparent that Greeley mourns over the gloomy prospect for his party. Forney raves like a bedlamite, and is ready to call upon the mountains to fall upon and hide him from the stern gaze of an insulted and betrayed people. The Beast Butler froths and foams at the thought of the fearful retribution which awaits him, and SteVens, in his wrath and malignity, vents his spleen on the foreign population who cannot be induced to swallow the negro. In the mean time, the Conservative ele ment of the country is hourly gaining strength and efficiency, and by the time the election arrives, its force and mo mentum will be irresistible, and the halls of Congress will be purged of the traitors and disunionists who have for too long a time been permitted to lord and tyrannize over this goodly heritage of our fathers. Their doom is sealed. Belshazzar like, the leaders of the Radical party are trembling with fear. Their cohorts are becoming more and more demoralized. The light of truth is breaking in upon the country, and dispelling the dark clouds of error and superstition. The people are aroused to a sense of their danger, aud they are determined that the Union and the Constitution shall be preserved, and that the enemies of both shall be put down. It is the conscious ness of all this that has struck terror into tiie Radical camp, and caused the trepidation and alarm which iB appa rent in all the writings and speeches of disunion leaders. Courage, Democrats, we have the van tage ground ; the day is our own. The country will be redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled from the foul tyranny which has paralyzed its energies and wasted its substance for the last five or six years. ilow Contemptible! President Johnson passes through Philadelphia, to-day, on bis Western tour, but will not meet with a public reception by the city authorities. The people, however, irrespective of party, will givethepatriotstatesman aglorious welcome. They are determined tolook beyond tho narrow and contracted vision of the mere partisan, aud will turn out by tends of thousands to do honor to the Chief Magistrate of theßepublic. Such ineflable and unparalleled mean ness on the part of the Philadelphia officials Is In striking contrast with the magnificent preparations which are being made in New York, by the City authorities, to give Andrew Johnson a welcome which his patriotic and con servative course so justly merits. No wonder that Philadelphia Is so far behind New York in commercial and mercantile prosperity. No wonder thut her merchants and artisans are mourn ing over the loss of the Southern trade. No wonder that her material prosperity is so much crippled and embarrassed, aud that she has to mourn over the vast increase of her rival’s trade, at her own expense. Philadelphia pursued a somewhat similar course when the im mortal patriot of the Hermitage visited that city more than thirty years ago, although her authorities feted and idol ized the wily and treacherous old Indian Chief, Black Hawk, during the same summer. But President Johnson need care for none of these things. These studied iusults upon tlie part of tlie corporate authorities of tlie miscalled “ City of Brotherly Love” will do him noharm. On tlie contrary, they will only recoil upon the heads of their authors. The mass of the people in that city, as every where else, are with him, heart aud soul, and they will sustain him in all his patriotic efforts to restore the Union and vindicate the supremacy of the Constitution. He has, Curtius-like, thrown himself into the breach, and impartial history will honor him as the Saviour of the Republic. IFlvc Hill lons of Money. This is the amount of our national in dehtedness, according to Air. Stevens’ speeeli before the County Convention of the 15th inst. Five Billions, or to make its vast magnitude more fully understood, Five Thousand Millions of Dollars, is the legacy entailed upon the American people for generations to come, by the present dominant party in tlie five years that they have been entrusted with tlie reins of power! The debt of Great Britain is about Four Thousand Millions of our money, hut that debt was not created in five years, as ours was. It was nearly two hundred years in forming, and during that long period England was engaged at least half the time in foreign wars and domestic broils. If the British Government had spent money as lav ishly as ours did, their debt now would exceed tlie ratio of the present debt in the ratio of twenty to one. “ Five Billions oe Money.” Think of it, tax-payers of all political parties, and act accordingly at the ensuing elec- tion. Let the people elect members of Congress who will at least put a stop to any further increase of the enormous public debt for the benefit of negroes and shoddy contractors, and practice economy in all their appropriations, so that the credit of the Government may be maintained and our vast indebted ness gradually and surely reduced by the prompt payment of principal and interest. Important to Pensioners, Claimants for an increase of pension, under the law granting to widows two dollars per month additional for each child under sixteen years of age, will be required to prove the dates of birth of such children in the manner required in the case of an application on behalf of minor children as prescribed in pre vious forms and instructions. This ex planation is published by authority of the Commissioner of Pensions, in order that the instructions under the act of July 25, 1866, may not be misunderstood on account of the omission of this re quirement from Baid instructions. Political. A grand Ratification Mass Meeting of the Conservatives of Allegheny County was to be held last evening in the City of Pittsburg. The speakers announced were Hon. Edgar Cowan, ex-Governor Johnston, Gen. Richard Coulter, and Gen. J. Bowman Sweit zer. The QnOstlon at tone. We find In the columns of a contem* porary the question plainly stated, so far as concerns the radical side. Th§ design on the part of the latter, Is to keep the late insurgent, but now re pentant States out In the cold—to deny them representation In Congress —until they shall have pronounced the shibboleth of theradicalparty. Wecopy from the Albany -Evening Journal as fol lows : From the Journal of July 2. T he Southern States must recognise the freedom and equality of the blacks. They must accept the principles embodied in the proposed amendment to the Constitution. They mu.-t establish sufficient guarantees for the liberties that have been won by war. They must enter into irrevocable obligations to surrender their pestilential dogmas of sovereignty, and to refrain forever from attempted revolution. Until they do these things their political privileges will not bo restored to them —they can have no repre sentation in the Federal Government, and must be considered ns in antagonism with the Union, and requiring oversight and re pression. Those who uphold the President pro pose to tear away artificial barriers and admit the absent members to their full political rights subject to no conditions that are not prescribed by the funda mental law, binding on all the States alike. Wbat a Hero 1 The reporter of the Express, speaking of the Abolition Mass Meeting at Read ing, on yesterday, calls General Geary the “hero of eighty-four battles Shades of Frederick the Great, of Na poleon and Ney, of Wellington, of Wash ington and Scott, of Taylor and Worth, of Grant and Sherman, hide your di minished heads in the presence of this greater conqueror than the Macedonian madman or Julius Ciesar! The latter, It is said by historians, only fought fifty pitched battles, and became the ruler of the vast Roman Empire ; whilst Al exander contended for the mastery on still fewer fields of blood, and then sat down and wept because he could find no more worlds to conquer. But Major General John W, Geary, Abolition can didate for Governor of Pennsylvania, will take rank in history as the greatest hero of ancient or modern times, and his name will be heralded through all coming time as the most stupendous warrior that ever drew a sword on the face of the globe ! Vive la Geary ! Vive lathe “hero of eighty-four battles!,!” Vive la humbug! A Reminiscence. The pleasiug incident of South Caro lina and Massachusetts delegates enter ing the Philadelphia Convention arm in arm at the opening on Tuesday, re calls to the Buffalo Courier the brilliant words of Daniel Webster, in reply to liayne: “Sir, let mo recur to pleasing rocolluc tions, lot mo indulge in refreshing remem brance of the past; lot mo remind you that, in early times, no States ohorishou groutor harmony, both of princlplonnd fouling, than Massachusetts and. South Carolina, Would to Liod that harmony might again return. Shoulder to shouhlur they wont through tho Revolution—hand in hand thoy stood round tho administration of Washington, and felt ills own groat arm lean on thorn for sup port. Unkind fooling, If it oxlsts—ullona lion and distrust—aro tho growth, unnatural to such soils, of (also principles, since sown. Thoy aro woods, the seeds of which Unit samo groat arm novur scattered.'' These words are as applicable to-day, as when they were uttered, and in view of the terrlblo experiences of tho civil war, ought to make a lasting impression and secure an enduring good. Tlio Negro Radical Convention. The best evidence we can afford the public of the Inature of the “Loyal” Convention that will assembleat Phila delphia on the 3d of September, is to be found in the following announcement in the N. Y. Tribune of Saturday): "Fred. Douglass, it is reported, has been elected a delegate from Rochester to the Loyal Southerners’ Convention in Philadelphia, which objections to his color. Buuu recogni tion of tlie stake his race have in the country is in noble contrast with the admission of the worst of Rebels to the Randall Convention. * The Union party is perfectly willing—nuy, anxious —that the loyal colored men should have a voice in its conventions.” The Military Element In the Philadelphia Convention. The military element was strong In tile Philadelphia Convention. It is thus alluded to by the Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Times: “Therewas another personal element that was not the less gratifying : that was the large number of prominent general officers of the Federal armies during the late war. There was Steed man—and who, seeing him rise iu the Convention, but remembered the terri ble, scorching battle-heat of Chicka mauga, wliereSteedman stoodunwaver lng among the most trusted and valued of the lieutenants of Thomas! There was Custer—how the nation loves and adores him ! Custer!—the synonym of dashing gallantry and unfaltering fidel ity. Said Sheridan, on one of the days before Cold Harbor, ‘Custer, I wish you would take a regiment and clean those fellows out.’ ‘Those fellows’ were a brigade of the enemy a half mile away upon the left. Custer looked at his watch, estimated mentally the distance, and mounted his horse, saying, ‘Gener al, it shall be done iu twenty minutes.’ In twenty minutes it was done. That was Custer. There was Rousseau—we all remember him, the gallant soldier, the stead fast patriot, who rode the Union battle-line through scores of'conflicts. There was Crawft rd, a division com mander in the Aimy of the Potomac from Wilderness to Appomattox. There was McDowell McCook—from first to last throughout the war serving the cause of the Union in the van of its armies, and holding high command. To these could be added scores of others, of lesser renown, perhaps, but not less faithful soldiers of the Republic. “Strange ‘rebels’ these.” The New Youk 11 ill’.ai.d gives the following true but exceedingly imper fect epitome of what the radicals In the present Congress have done : Since the present Congress was in session we have seen how the radical element has been striving for power by every means, regardless of the good of the country ; how it has been drawing tighter and tighter the band around the President, in the hope of crushing out the authority of the .Executive and con centrating power in the hands of a clique of unscrupulous politicians. For this end the radicals have assailed Mr. Johnson in vituperative language un worthy of the lowest class of society. They have heaped taxation upon the people in every shape without mercy. They have kept the country disorgan ized, advocated and insisted upon dis union, crippled the resources of an en tire section, kept up the prices of the necessaries of a nation for a whole year, and set on foot jobs of the most scandal ous character, which involved fabulous sums of the public money for their own ben tilt. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says that on Thursday the Presidentsummoned Gen. Howard to the Executive Office, and had a long interview, during which he laid before him several papers from re liable and influential sources in the South condemnatory of the administra tion of the Bureau, and reflecting se verely upon General Howard. It is understood that the President intimated to General Howard that his resignation would be accepted. Since the inter view the General has said to his friends that he cannot conscientiously resign and will not therefore do so. If the President desires to put the office in charge of another he can remove the present incumbent and assume the re sponsibility. Thislookssomethinglike defiance, and much curiosity is mani fested to know how the President will act in the matter. The general impres sion is that General Howard will be summarily ejected, . ffieWageFofSln, Sejanus now feels the rope around his neck, and it will not be long before his hapless body will be dragged swiftly and scurvily through all the kennels of Rome by the eager hands and amid the exul tant shouts of the very mob which so lately hailed him as the very iucaruar tion of the ‘‘Spiritof the Lord.” The Tribune thufc hastens to slip the noose over the wretched' creature’B head t • There was a time when Mr. Stanton could have retired without descending from his proud position. We regret the fact, but that time has passed. The Secretary hasstooped, and cringed, and paltered, and truckled, till he may now be contemptuously kicked out, with perfect safety to the kicker. And yet there is a lower depth of debasement, which even he may wisely avoid; and that will be sounded if he now accepts a second class mission bestowed on him in scornful pity for his downfall. We have nothing to say as to the propriety of offering it; but our respect for the memory of what Mr. Stanton has been Impels the hope that ho will spurn the proffer, and stand lorth a freed man. As he tumbles headlong under the vigorous hauling ofi Greeley, the Inde pendent rushes swiftly upon him with uplifted foot: Ho does not love Mr. Johnson, or his policy. The secret of his conduct is this: he was brutal during the war, as he is time serving now, and he is afraid to leave the company of the President. So long as he stands with Mr. Johnson he is sure of pro tection against copperheads who hate him. Can Congress, or the Radicals outsido of it", protect him? I suppose not. Mr. Stanton perceives the fact, aud means to save him self from persecution, if he can—caring more for tho immediate present than for tho future. But a worse thing yet was in store for him. Forney not having yesterday come to a full realization ofSthe fact that his confederate is on thei down ward track, and supposing that Sir. Seward alone had deserted him, thus yelps in his behalf: Tho natural ferocity of tho copperheads uml traitors has been strangely revived bv the fresh stimulus offered by Andrew John son. They hnvo now set upon Edwin Si. Stanton, tho lust patriot left of the cabinet of Abruham Lincoln, und tho indications are that they will secure their long-desired sacrifice. Howled at and hunted, there is something noble in the silence and disdain of that incorruptible Radical. Ho has well deserved the love of good men and women, aud he has euruod the hate of the traitors aud their sympathizers. But whilo there is much in this spectacle to challenge admira tion, huw pitiable is tho conduct of Seward and his m rceuuiies? After professing especial attachment to Mr. Stanton, they stand coldly by and see him stabbed by the very copperheads whom they, more than others in Lho country, employed and en couraged to make war upon the govern ment and the great Union party. To pass into history with the kisses and in the embrace of Forney would be a punishment almost awful enough for the crimes even of Edwin M. Stanton. But this, at least, the Sejauusof Amer ica will be spared. On the morrow of his ejection from the office in which, while he continues to hold it, Forney will continue to use him as a spy upon tlie Executive, tills last pnrtner also of his Infamy will turn upon and rend him.—i\ r . Y. World. The Douglas Monument. [From tho Chicago Post, 18th.I Tlie first section of tlie monument is now about half-completed. The founda tions are entirely finished, and tlie tomb is partially complete. Tlie struc ture has bee n carried up to about the height of seventeen feet. When com pleted it will be one hundred feet in height. Tlie diameter of tho circular platform base Is fifty-two feet, und two and a hull' feet high. Another base, with steps tlie name-tho sldeH concave or curved Inwards, also two and a half feet high—is luiil upon the circular base. Tho sepulchre, with four projecting pedestals standing out from thecorners, and connected by archways, is twenty feet square and eleven feet high, with walls live feet thick. It has an arched celling and a chamber within, ten feet square. In the center is a sarcophagus, or receptacle, fortheremalnsofDouglas, which will be visible through a bronze door, six feet and a half high and three feet wide. Resting upon tlie sepulchre is a pedestal twenty-one feet high, with a base|flfteen feet square lapping upon and supported by the walls of tlie tomb. A complete col umn, forty-three feet in length, blx feet at the base, and three and a half feet at the top, Is placed on the pedestal. A cap and spear six feet high forms the cap and buse for a colossal bronze statue of Douglas, twelve feet high. Surrounding tlie sepulchre will be four seated symbolical figures, life-size, of light marble, one representing Illi nois holding a medallion likeness of Douglas. Bv the side is a sheaf of wheat and the State arms. The other is America, with the shield ; History, reclining on a tablet, aud Fame, with tlie wreath and the trumpet. Over the entrance stands an eagle, and on the base of the pedestul above are four bas reliefs, representing the progress of civ ilization in tlie West: First, the Wil derness, with Indians hunting, and their wigwams in the distance; then thepioneerswith thecabin, men plough ing and cutting down trees ; then Com merce, represented by a ship, bales and boxes, and Science, represented by the locomotive, the railroad, and the tele graph. The fourth relief represents Ed ucation, by a group of children and a school-master, with the Capitol build ing and a church in the distance. The statue represents Douglas as standing by the Constitution and the Union, the fasces: or Union by his right, and the Constitution in his left hand. The speaker's stand, at the inaugura tion ceremonies, will be erected imme diately beside the monument, and will accommodate about seven or eight hun dred people. This will be reserved ex clusively for members of Congress and other distinguished individuals who come to take part in the ceremonies. In front of the stand will be accommoda tions for about sixty reporters. The space in front of the stand will afford plenty of room for the many thousands who will be present listening to the addresses, and the nature of the ground will render the voices of the speakers perfectly audible to those who may be forced to take their nositionsa consider able distance from the stand. At each corner of the grave will be erected a pillar about thirty feet in height. From these uprights will spring four arches, which willbe draped with black and white, and festooned with roses. Round the base of the pillars will be arranged a number of flags, and all the way up they will be draped with black and white, and with wreaths of roses and flags. The grave will be cover ed with natural flowers. Iu front of the grave will bo placed upon a pedestal Volk’s splendid marble bust of Douglas, and a model of the monument. There will be no other decoration of any kind on the ground. These form the principal part of the preparations that have yet been made for the great occasion. Whatever other arrangements remain to be made relate more particularly to the programme to be carried out on theday. If ever there was a time when the people might earn estly hope for favorable weather, it will be on the coming 6th of September, which will in any case be sure to prove a memorable one in the annals of the city. James C. Vandyke, Esq. We regret to announce the death of this gentleman, which occurred at his residence in this city on Saturday, It will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends, who recognized in Mr. \ andyke a man of singular fearnestness of purpose—a brave, true man—who had held high position amongst us and was in every respect worthy of the affectionate regard of which he was the object. Mr. Vandyke was born near Abington, Montgomery County, and after receiving a careful home education, entered college and graduated with distinguished hon ors. He subsequently studied law in this city and was admitted to the bar, where he soon took a prominent position, both as an advocate and coun sellor. At a later period in life he was appointed United States District At torney for the Eastern District of Penn sylvania. After retiring from that no sition, his failing health prevented him from engaging actively in the laborious duties of his profession, or taking a prominent part in the stirring events of the times. Still, he did not lose in terest in the welfare of the nation, or neglect to unite with its true friends in efforts to advance its prosperity, glory and renown. Mr. Vandyke was well known in this city, and although his death was not unexpected, still it falls none the less heavily upon those who knew and esteemed hlm.-^Age, Bold Bobbery or Jewelry in Brooklyn. There have been from time to time many bold and audacious robberies com mitted in this oRy and in Brooklyn, but among the most daring done will be found to exceed the one which was consumated last night in the latter city. It can scarcely be credited that within less than fifty yards of the police head quarters, and on one of the most public thoroughfares of that city, aud at an early hour of the night, and when crowds of persons were continually passing, a store was entered, and in the presence of the proprietor and his as sistants, a case of jewelry taken away; and, notwithstanding the hue and cry at once raised, the perpetrator got off with the greater part of the booty. Y’et so it occurred. At half-past eight last evening a man entered the Jewelry store of Mr. Tice, on the corner or Fulton and Johnson streets, Brooklyn, and asked Mr. Thomas Tice to show him a few diamond rings. His request was complied with by luylngon the counter beforehimacasecontaining twenty-four valuable ornaments. The man took his pocket handkerchief aud pretended to wipe his face with it, and then immediately dropped it over the case, took it up, rushed to the door, aud immediately disappeared. He had a confederate awaiting with a horse and wagon nt the curbstone In front of thu building. One bound took him from the place into the vehicle, the whip was freely plied, and at a high rate of speed the party passed the police headquar ters, ana were lost In the darkness ou Johnson street. Theolerks in thestore, hearing Mr. Tice cry out “Stop him ! stop him 1” rushed to the entrance, but when they arrived there was no trace of the robbers to be discovered. The police were at once informed, and in the short est possible time the telegiuph was flashing the intelligence to the various stations. The intelligence hud Just reached Acting Captain AVright at tlie Forty-fourth Precinct, when an officer drove up in a wagon which he found deserted at the corner of Park and Van derbilt avenues. A few minutes previ ously a boy named Aaron Hart was standing at that place when a wagon, in which were two men, one of them without a hat, drove up, and leaving tho horse standing, jumped out. The man without a hat immediately snatch ed the boy's hut—a black Kossuth one, broken in front—off his head aud say ing, “ I want this and will give you a new oue for it,” vanished round the corner. The boy was so surprised that he did not at first callout; when he did the officer came up, aud after hearing the lad’s story took thehorseaud wagon away. When the wagon was searchetl one of the rings stolen was found. The ring is a cluster diamond. The horse is a well-bred, fast trottlug sorrel nag, and the vehicle a three-quarter seat coal box wagon, painted black, with a blue cloth cushion. Both were taken by tlie police to a livery stable, where they will remain until unownerisfoumlforthem. Mr. Tice gives but a very distinct de. scription of the man who took ills dia monds. He suys he is a slight built, middle-aged man, with a smooth face! The value of the property lost is aboul four thousand dollars. A roundsman, from headquarters, found one of tho rings outsido of tlie door of the store, and one of Mr. Tice's clerks found another near tlie same place. Butli were undoubtedly dropped by the robber in his hurried exit. The polieo and detectives were at once put on tlie track. At nine P. M. two men were arrested by an officerof the Forty second Precinct; but on Mr. Tice say ing neither of them was tlie person who visited him, they were discharged.—„V. Y. Herald, August ill. A Bank Vault Robbed—Over $‘288,000 In tinted Hlules Bonds and other Securi ties Stolen—A Mysterious Affair. (.From Hulurdiiy'ii N. V. Wurltl.] One of tlie most adroitaudmysterious cases of robbery on record wiis developed within the past few days, by tlie dis covery that a cash box had mysteri ously disappeared from the vaults of tiio Marine Bank, at tho corner of Wall and Pearl streets. Tlie missing box contained United States bonds of vari ous descriptions, gold coin, gold certifi cates, railroad stocks, and insurance scrip, the property of Crocker, Wood &. Co., N'o. oiftiouth street, and valued in ull atjover SdSM,UOO. Tlie mystery in which the whole allalr is shrouded makes tlie case one of great interest, and likely to buille the skill of tlie most expert und shrewd detectives. From ull that our reportercould tlie circumstanees, it appears that for a long time past tlie firm of Crocker, Wood it Co., have had a tin cash box generally filled wilh gold coin and United States bonds, placed in the vault at tho Marine Bank lor safe keeping, to which vault only the porter and other attaches to the bank have access. Within a few mouths pust, the firm, having occasion to deposit unusu ally large amounts of money and secu rities in their box, directed the porter to place it in a more secure place iu the inner vault where but sixorseven other boxes were placed, and paid the porter a fee for taking care of It, giving strict injunctions that no one but a member of the firm should be allowed to bundle it. On the Ist lust.. Mr. Wood had oc casion ior some gold coin. He went to the bank, and opening the box, took out $875 iu gold coin, and carefully re placing the other contents, returned tile box to its usual position iu the vault. On Saturday last, the firm having a surplus quantity of gold on hand, Mr. Wood determined to place it in their cash-box, and for this purpose he pro ceeded to the bank. He entered the vault as usual, but was dumbfounded at discovering that the box was absent from its accustomed position. The por ter was sent for, but lie knew nothing about it. A strict search was instituted, but the missing box could not be found. Mr. Crocker the senior member of the firm, being out of town, was telegraphed to lor the purpose of ascertaining whether he had removed the box, or ordered it to be removed. Mr. Crocker replied that he knew nothing about the removal of the box. It was then fully established that the box had been stolen but by whom was thequestion ? Certain persons connected with the bunk were at first suspected, and inspector Car penter was notified of the matter. Capt. Young and Detectiveßadford were sent down to investigate the affair, and on examining the premises became con vinced that the theft had been commit ted by a adroit operator, who had made his way beside the counter of the bank, entered the vault, and removed the box. The officers of the bank said it was im possible that the theft should have been committed in that manner. To con vince them how easy it was in their loose manner of doing business Detective Radford stepped out of the bank, and in a few minutes returned entered the vault, and placing n box under his coat, walked out of the bank in the full view of the clerks, &c., un challenged and unsuspected. It was not until lie returned with the box that the clerks became aware that anybody had been in the vault. l’lie following treasure was contained in the box : Ten United States ten-forty bonds, 1,000 each; eleven United States seven-thirty treasury notes for $5,000 each, and seventeen,tor l.OUUeaeh ; three United States seven-thirty treasury notes for $lOO each ; four United Slates live-twenty bonds for 1,000 each, and four for Sooo each; one United States coupon bond for ssoo ; soooin compound interest notes ; $-5,010 in gold coin and certificates; $8,500 in United States five-twenty bonds (numbersnotknown)- five certificates for 100 shares N’ew York Central Railroad stock ; two certificates for $lOO each of the Cleveland and Pitts burg Railroad ; six certificates for $lOO each ot the Pittsburg, Fort Wayue and Chicago Railroad ; six certificates Illi -.010. eL ßral Railroad for 500 shares ; $3,b30 in Atlantic Mutual Insurance scrip. The railroad stock is valued at $lBO,OOO, making a total loss of over $288,- The officers of the Marine Bank Btate that they are responsible for the loss. Messrs. Crocker, Wood & Co. offer a re ward of $lO,OOO for the recovery of the available property stolen, or pro rata for any proportion thereof. The police authorities are completely nonplussed in regard to this matter, and no clue to the thieves has been ob tained, so long a time having elapsed between the theft and its discovery. The remarks ot the Radical presses about the Philadelphia Convention certainly indicate great dread on their part of its effects on their party. The Convention simply made an appeal to the good sense and patriotism of the people. Is the appeal founded in jus tice and a proper appreciation of our political system ? If it is, it will hurt nobody but those who want to steal power for unlawful purposes. This latter class, like the robbers of graves, are scared at the rustling of a leaf, or their own hideous shadows. “Coming oat ortbe Foul Party.” The.

Congress provided bounty for the white soldiers out of “any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated;'* but as the negro bill was passed first, the darkey soldiers’ claims must all be paid before the white soldiers can reach a dollar.

Dentil of Dean Richmond, Not tlie personal and political friends alone of Dean Richmond, Esq., but all persons who huve at heart tile welfare of the country, and who thoroughly comprehend the present condition of public utlairs, will be pained to learn that tiiis distinguished citizen died tills morning after a brief but severe illness at the house of Mr. H. J. Tilden in this city. Mr. Richmond was struck down by a severe complication of internal disor ders, greatly aggravated, if not directly induced, by his unspuring labors to bring aliout the successful results re cently attained in the National Conven tion at Philadelphia. His wife and family were wiLli him at the last, and lie received tlie most assiduous careand attention from the best medical ability of tlie city, Drs. Blakemau, Alonzo Clarke, W-rilium H.

The well-inturmed editor of the In dianapolis Herald says that, after a careful survey of the whole ground, lie is satisfied that a Democratic success in that Btate at the coming election is one of the fixed facts. He adds : “Nothing that can arise in the or dinary course of events can prevent this. In 1864 the majority for Morton was less than twenty thousand in the State. A few days since we demonstrated to our own satisfaction—and we think to the satisfaction of every unbiased reader —that in twelve counties, only, of the State, over twelve thousand of that majority was made up of illegal votes cast —or at least counted. Now, we do ,not for a moment suppose that this thing can be, or ought to be, repeated. There is no Massachusetts regiment here, to whom a high functionary can make a speech on the Sabbath preceding the election, urging upon them to vote, and having them to vote Just asoften as they wanted ; and then to distribute them to Hendricks, Hamilton and De catur, to repeat thesame game. We are in a position to expect and demand a fair election. More than that, the sol diers are now all at home, and will vote as becomes independent freemen. At the election in 1864 suoh only were fur loughed as would—or as the officers thought would—vote against us. This will make a material change in our favor, Then, again, thepolitical changes have been for the past year steadily for us—none against us.”
