Alexander n. Stephens on the Political Grant Will Iletome Dictator . 11f Elected, lOorrespondenoe of the New York Herald,' WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs, Aug. 29. • Seated on a rocking chair, with the inevi table pipe in his mouth, the floor strewed over with newspapers, suggestive of an editor's room, I found the former Vice President of t ine Confederacy. Pale ema ciated and almost shrivelled, his thin lips twitching nervously, his felt lust on because of neuralgia in the head, one leg thrown over the other, the foot of which was con stantly in a nervous motion, but, his dark eyes sparkling brilliantly and his entire features remarkable for au intellectual ex pression, Mr. Stephens impresses the visitor with a feeling oldeference mingled with pity that such wonderfu l mental power should be accompanied by so feeble a phy sical organization. After a few remarks as ~to his health, which he said was very poor, and was the cause of his present visit to the Springs, I asked for his opinions politi cally, and received a reply which fully con firmed what I had heard—that he did not intend to make any expression of them nor in any way to meddle with the contest. "Allowing such to be the case," I re marked, "a mere conversation on political topics cannot be construed into a participa tion in the campaign." "True," ho replied; "hut if published in the Herald that cast might be given to it. I am unwell, however, to-day, and if you call again I may talk with you." This was a few evenings since, and in ac cordance with his expressed permission I again prosontel myself to-day, finding him looking better, decided:y more elmmunica- Live. and exceedingly interesting. "How do you regard the present condition of the emmtry, Mr. Stephens?" I com menced. "As exceedingly deplorable. The last vestiges of constitutional freedom are rap Idly disappearing, and we are fast verging into centralization and despotism. Unless some wonderful chance takes place, unless the people of the North exorcise that wis dom for which Americans have been so remarkable in the past, though they seem to have lost it latterly, the world shall ere long witness the establishment of an ton pica on the ruins of this once great repub- Ile. The measures inaugurated by the dominant party ere the surest indications of coming despotism. They have trampled the Constitution under foot, and have leg islated solely to keep themselves in power and to effect the same object. Without a political revolution occurs meantime, tho Government will be merged Into a despot ram—tin empire. If Grant Is elected next November, I never expect to see another Presidential election." " What is your opinion of Grant person ally?" "That he is entirely underrated by the country and the press. I know him very well. Ho is a remarkable man, and one that few appreciate; of decided military genius, Indotnitable energy,and determined the man for a coupd'clat such as the present Emperor Louis Napoleon per formed when hoplaced himself on the thrum) of France." " Do you know the other candidates, and what would result from the election of Sey mour and Blair 7" " Blair I know; Colfax I know ; Seymour I: don't know. They are all very clever, good fellows. Blair:and Colfax I served In Congress with, :and personally I have no objection to any of then,. Blair Is a man of ability, integrity, and character; so is Sey mour, us Gtr net I ICIIOW ; and Colfax may be placed in the same category. But It is not the men; it Is not Circuit and Colfax; it is not Seymour and Blair that tare to be regarded In the next election. It in the principles they represent that tiro at issue. The light Is not against Grunt told Colfax, but against the iniquity or t h e dominant party Una hum brought the country to the verge art' In and threatens finally to destroy it. 'l'he °realm] of negro governments at the tiontli, the disfranyinisement of whiles, the expenditure and corruption of the present governtnept are the issues to be Ibught. Look at the whiskey bill. Why, sir, 'lover heard of IL more officals or abominable documentoind it is but, a sample of the legislation of the party. 'Ciro otootion of Seymour and 111111 r would, I thick, re store harmony, abolish corruption, give the Status the right to regulate their own do mestic tillitlrs, and by an economical admin. istratlon of the Clovernment reduce taxation and lessen the national debt to an extent t het In a generation it would scarcely be felt. Imagine a yearly expenditure of $.100,- 000,000 and the country groaning under excessive teXlltiell to pity the interest on in debt of $2,000,000,000 that wan contracted to keep the Southern Strong in the Union, which, after the loss of n million or moo and the lapse of three years sieve the close of the war, Is yet undone. What the South left the Unionfor the North is now doing.. The former wanted additional constitutional guarantees to remain in the Union; the lat ter enacts told adopts unconstitutional guarantees in the shape vi amendinentH to the Constitution before they will admit the South again. All this is wrong, and Is but, as I said before, an taIVIIIICO toward desot Ism and an empire." "Ilow would the SQuiliern peoPle act A. with regard to universal suffrage in the event of the success of Seymour and 131 air?" "They would abide by inclicial decisions, , end there Is little doubt that all this party legislation to secure power would be over thrown. Conventions would he called, and the people would regulate suffrage as they thought proper. I believe a system of qualified nufirage on an educational basis would be generally adopted in the South in such an event." "Do you anticipate any trouble during the Presidential election between the races in the newly reconstructed States?" " No; except when it is provoked by the unprincipled whites who have associated themselves with the negroes to get office. • The whites will remain, as they have been, 'peaceable and quiet, relying mainly on the North for deliverance front the frightful condition In which they are placed. The cry of the Radicals, ' Let us have pence,' means 'Let us have war.' They desire it, and to make political capital inaugurate riot and bloodshed, if not thwarted by the forbearance of the whites. They raise the cry that the South wants war. They Ile when they say it. The Southern people have no means to make war, no disposition to fight, no enemy to meet. Peace is all they wish for, and the civil liberty which, as citizens of this Republic, they are en titled to," Would the rieg,es resort to arms In ease they were deprived of suffrage?" " If they went.' and did and fought for it they should then certaitily be entitled to it, but as a body or a people they would not do it. An occasional instance there might be among them of men who would, under the Inspiration and guidance of whiles, clamor for the rlgirt of suffrage, but so nue as to be scarcely noticeable. As a race, a people, they do not .appreciate liberty. It Is not in their natures. They ern Silllply children of tto• sun, with none of the germ- Me aspiration's of the whites to be free. But if tin evidence of what I say were wannest, I can point to Tennessee, where eighty thousand whites-- Anglo-Saxons-- have been disfranchised, and they do not resort to arms. Iu Georgia there are twenty-five thousand, and throughout the South In the sumo proportion, but we hear of no insur rection or rebellion on this account. There fore it Is clear the negro will scarcely fight under the Hillllo circumstances, notwith standing that it may be said, And the colored troops fought bravely.'" Horrible 31order by the Negroce in Nary A most horrible and cold blooded murder was perpetrated iu Queen Anne's county, Md., early on Friday morning. the partic ulars of 'which are thus given in the Cen treville Citizen of Saturday : A man named Reamy Gilmore, an in dustrious, honest and inoffensive farmer, aged about forty years, residing on a farm belonging to the heirs of the Into Judge Chambers. on the road from Church Hill to Chestertown"; about four miles from the former and two from the latter place, was found dead at an enr:y hour on Friday morning, and his wife lying in an insensible condition, but still alive, by a negro man and woman who had been engaged by Mr. Gilmore to "save fodder" for him. They immediately gave the alarm to one of Mr. Gilinore's neighbors, who made the fact 01 the murt'er known to the officers of the law, and Justice Tarbuttou, of Crumpton, sum moned a jury of inquest, and among the witnesses was a negro woman, Martha Barwick, Mr. Gilmore's cook, who at first denied all knowledge of the murder, but finally confessed that a certain negro man in the neighborhood, who was in the habit of visiting her, named Michael Bell, and herself, had formed a p 01 to murder and )o.rob Mr. Gilmore, which plot was intended tp be put iu execution on Friday night, but from some cause, on Thursday night the time was changed, and the deed perpetrated ou Friday morning, between daybreak and sunrise. Bell, she states, remained in the kitchen all night, and in the early moruiug went up snug% and affected au entrance into Mrs. Gilmore's room without a xakeniug her, when he dealt her two blows with the blade of an axe, us she lay sleeping, and then sent the woman—the partner in his crime—to 'ell Mr. Gilgore (who, it appears, for some cause, slept in another house some distance from the dwelling) that his wife was very sick and wanted him. Mr. Gilmore imme diately repaired to his wife's room, and as he entered the door Bell dealt him a heavy blow with the eye of the axe, knocking him senseless to the floor, after which he struck him two more blows upon the head, and then left hlm. The woman, Martha, says Bell then commenced rifling the bureau drawers, but drove her from the room, and she does not know what amount of money, If any, Bell obtained. After completing his search for booty he left the premises, and that was the last she saw of him, State Polltleal:Nawe Centre County.—The Democratic county convention, which met on the 81st of Au gust at West Chaster, nominated as candi dates for Assembly, John King, Esq., Jas.

NEW ALBANY, IND., Sept. 2, 1888. Editors Intelligoncer :—Having heard the Republicans in the East talk so much about the disaffection in the Democratic ranks in the West, in consequence of Hendricks or Pendleton not receiving the Democratic nomination, I concluded to attend the great mass meeting of the Democrats of Clark and adjoining counties of the Second Indi ana Congressional Diftrict, held yesterday at Jeffersonville, to ascertain the truthful ness of the assertion. It took but a short time to expose the falsehood. I wish some cf the Republicans of Lancaster Co. would have been present at that meeting. I think they would have gone borne, if not better, certainly wiser men. Such an uprising of the people engaged in every branch of industry, we have not witnessed for many years. Indeed, it was the most imposing political demonstration we have had the pleasure of attending any where, since the groat Democratic gathering at Lancaster city during Mr. Buchanan's campaign in 1856. We, at first, supposed that it is not an unusual thing for the people of these West ern States to rise up in this manner, and took the trouble to inquire, when we were informed, by some of the oldest residents, that it was the finest affair of the kind that has ever taken place in Southern Indiana. This shows which way the current of popu lar opinion is drifting. The procession was a very grand one,— was over an hour in passing a given point. The meeting was held in a beautiful grove about half a mile from Jeffersonville. There was speaking at several different stands at the seine time, :but the groat centre of at• traction was Senator Hendricks. Ile had the undivided attention of nearly that whole mass of people— over twenty thousand in number,—for over two hours. His speech, in point of eloquence and force of argument was ore of the best we have over hoard.— There were several reporters on the ground who noted down every word tie said. Wu hope this speech will appear in the columns of every Democratic newspaper in the coun• try, and be road at every Seymour and Blair township meeting. I Mid the pleasure during the day, of hav ing a conversation with Mr. Hendricks in the course of which I took occasion to re mark that fears were entertained iu the East that, as he or Mr. Pendleton bad not received the nomination at the New York Convention, the ticket would not receive as strong a support in the West as it otherwise would have received. He said, that is all a mistake. "Thu ticket," said ho, with Sey mour and Blair as our candidates, will re ceive as strong a support hero as it would have received under any other circumstan ces, and here is a practical illustration that the people have confidence in Governor Seymour. There is no mistaking the signs of the , Artties. The people are thoroughly aroused Mill determined to put an end to the rule of a party, which is rapidly bringthe country to ruin and bankruptcy. The thieves and plunderers who have been fattening upon the miseries of the people may read their doom in this and elm liar demonstrations all over the country. Indiana may be set down as sure for Seymour and Blair. Yours, ike., 'From the (leorgla C arlond Ilietrag! , l+ by fiegroem 111 North immam (Me of the most revolting outrages and a double murder occurred near Swain's Mill, North Carolina, on Tuesday last, which it was ever our lot to record, or which ever took place in any civil' hd land. A few miles from the mill, on the (10l um bus Road, lived, Mrs. Marks, n young and beautif widow lady about thirty years of age; hired woman and two children, a little boy of live, and a little girl of eight, living with her. At about nine o'clock in the evening of the 'list instant, a loud rap at the door of the house startled the inmates, who had Just retired for the night. The hired wo man who slept in an upper room, raised a window to ascertain the cause and was no. costed by a negro, who said that he had a letter for Mrs. Marks, which he had brought from the village, and that It was very Im portant, and must be answered that night. Recognizing him as a man from the village whom she know, she went down stairs and opened the door. As soon as the door was fairly unilistened, a gang of nine armed negroes, who had been concealed in the dark behind a clump of bushes, made a rush into the house. The woman fled through n rear door, and escaped into n piece of thick woods•bnek of the house. Mrs. Marks, hearing the noise, started to come Irom her room, but was met by two of the negroes, who seized her and attempt ed to drag her toward a bed standing in a corner 2:; - 1 the room. Being a woman of groat strength, she struggled fearfully, but the rest of the gang coming to theald of the two, she Was finally overpowered. They then throw her on the bed, tying her arms and feet to the bed post with cords, and proceeded to violate her person in turn, un• til all nine of them had satiated their hel lish passions. While this was going on, an attempt was made to violate the person of the little girl, who was held by two of the fiends in plain sight of the mother while a third ono accomplished the damnabledeed, a knife having to be used for theurpose! The screams of the child were fearfu p l,which so enraged the demons that they tore her tongue from her mouth, and finally beat her brains out against the stone jam of the lire-place and threw the body into the back yard! Not content with this, they seized the boy, and after tying him with cords, proceeded to commit a nameless outrage upon his body. The woman who escaped from the house fled toward Stover Station, but the night being dark lost her way, and did not arrive at Mr. Appleby's, the nearest neighbor of Mrs. Marks, until about two o'clock in the morning. She immediately gave the alarm, and Mr. Appleby called up his men, and after arming them sent off to Roht. Stowes and the other neighbors. As soon as possible they all took their horses and proceeded to Mrs. Marks, where they found the house on lire and discovered the terrible scene we have described, but the perpetrators of the deed bail tied. When found, Mrs. Marks was wholly insensible, and it was with great difficulty that she was restored to conscious ness. George, the little boy, was foUnd dead on the floor, bound with cords as they hail left him, and the dead body of Annie, the little girl, had been dragged from the yard into the back stoop, undoubtedly for I the purpose of having all traces of their guilt obliterated by the fire which they had I set. It is supposed that the miscreants were alarmed by the approach of the horses of Mr. Appleby and his men,and fled into the adjoining woods, from whichlthey scattered to their homes before morning. The whole country is aroused, and it will ho difficnit for all the perpetrators of such a diabolical deed to escape. The negro who pretended to have the letter was recognized by Mrs. Grally, the work-woman, as Bill Batson, the recent negro and Radical candidate for the Legislature from that district. Ile was not to be found the next day, and his wife said that he was going to Millberry to a ne gro meeting. He is probably secreted either In the woods or,in the huts of some of the rest of the gang, but it will be hard for him to escape, us the whole country is aroused. No negroes were found absent from home for five miles around, except Batson, and unless he is caught it will be very difficult to ferret out the murderers, on account of the secret organizations known to exist among them. Life and property aro at the mercy of the blacks in nearly the whole South. They refuse to work, and being fed by the Freed men's Bureau, are allowed to live iu idle ness to perpetrate their fiendish outrages. Mr. Stokes, whose plantation is on the Cumberland road, informs us that be finds it almost impossible to hire help at any price—all the negroes refusing to work, and being supported by the Bureau. Just be fore the last election nearly two thousand rations were dealt out to the negroes in that district by the bureau agent, and Batson had nearly the whole control of the distri bution. The excitement in relation to the murder is intense, and it was with the ut most difficulty that the citizens could be restrained from wreaking vengeance indis criminately. Henry Ward .Beecher This saint nominated General Butler for the Presidency at a dinner party some time ago. He now advocates Gen. Grant very strongly. We give below his letter to the Cleveland Convention. The public can judge whether Mr. Beecher's present poll tics are of the same character and tenor as the sentiments put forth by him when he acted from the spontaneous prompting of his better nature. We ask particular at tention to this noble burst of manly scorn. " I hear with wonder, and shame, and scorn," said Mr. Beecher, " the fear that the South, once more in adjustment with the Federal Government, will rule this nation The North IS rich, never so rich; the South is poor, never before so poor. The popula tion of the North is nearly -double that of the South. The industry of the North, in diversity, in forwardness and productive ness, in all the machinery and education required for manufacturing, is half a cen tury in advance of the South. Churches in the North crown every bill, and schools swarm in every neighborhood; while the South has but scattered lights at distances, like lighthouses twinkling along the edge of a continent of darkness. In the pres ence of such a contrast, how mean and craven is.the fear that the South will rule the policy of the land That it will have an influence, that it will contribute, in time, most important influences or restraints, We are glad to believe. But if it rises at once to the control of the Government, it will be because the North, ruined by prosperity, and besotted by grovelling interests, refuses to discharge its share of political duty. In such a case, the South not only will control the Government, but it ought to do it!" Pinchhack, the colored member of the Louisiana Legislature, made a speech to - that body on Saturday, charging the whites w ai l o th ne m x t i ll u et t i r e offnalne the kind ' will cause ten thousand torches to be applied , ' to the city of New Orleans, and the city will be redwied to ashes, Negro ilembemof the Georgia Legtslao lure Unseated. ATLANTA, Sept: B.—Yesterday the House passed a resolution to hold two sessions during the eligibility discussion. hi Ts morning Turner, negro, spoke, and held the floor daring the whole session. ' He said he was entitled to his'seat, and would not cringe for or beg for it. There was in the history of the world no parallel to the scene presented to-day, and never before were men arraigned before the legislative body for an offence committed by the Al mighty God himself. He did not know, until the past three weeks, the imbecility of the Anglo-Saxon race. This momentous question would not be settled to-day, but would be handed down to generations as long as the sun goes down. Who first took up reconstruction under Congress? It was the brawny black man. This is our Legislature. The great question is, am I a man? If I am, I claim the rights of a man. Tho Democratic principle is never to find their level until they find them in the re gions of Pinto and Proserpina. The Demo cratic lends advised the people to remain away from the polls, and then blamed the people because negroes found seats on the floor. Every State has been reconstructed under the act, that no discrimination should be made on account of color, race or pre vious condition. If every scalawag and carpet bagger could ride into power on the backs of the black men, and ask Congress to take away the ballot and submit the question to Congress. or a convention, and when made he would abide the decision. The Constitution of the United States does not recognize a God. His name is not in it If this measure was carried I will call a Convention of my people, and send for carpet-baggers, scalawags, Yankees, and anybody for a Legislature except Georgians. You may drive us, but you will light a torch never to be putout. You will make us your foes, and you will do all you can to poison my race against Democ racy. This thing means revolution. Look out carpetbaggers. When we go they will turn you out, unseat Governor Bullock, and upset the Constitution. In the afternoon session several members participated, and on a vote being taken, the negroes were declared Ineligible by a vote of 83 yeas to 23 nays, thus unseating 23 no groes. Four remain, who claim to be white men and their cases will be investigated. Turner walked out and brushed the dust from his feet. The other negroes bowed to the Speaker, and waved their huts to the members. Republican Rule In Arkan!iiili—Who are er====2 AIEMPUIS, Sept. 4.—The Avalanche's Little Rock special to-day says: Gov. Clay ton, of Arkansas, has prepared Instructions for his registers for the registration now about to commence. He says that the pow ers and duties of each registration board are to reject any one whom registers may think not entitled to register, even though the applicant has already taken the oath; to make arrests and call upon Sheriffs for a sufficient number of armed men to assist him, and If not furnished, then to call up on the commanding orMer of any troops of the State guard to furnish promptly such aid. An applicant for registration is also required to prove Lis innoceuse by evi dence satisfactory to the register, that he has been guilty of a number of specified acts during a sum of years, one of which is that he did - not sympathize with the rebel lion; If he fail to establish this ho cannot register his oath to the contrary notwith standing, unless he voted for the present constitution. If the register is satisfied or thinks he ought not to be registered, before being allowed to register he must subscribe to an oath, setting forth that he accepts civil and political equality for all men and ogres not to attempt to make any changes. Ten days before the election, boards of reg istration must meet in each county, with power upon their own knowledge or infor mation to strike from the list the nomes of voters whom they consider di,squallitied by the registration laws. The courts are for bidden to issue soy mandamus or other process to registers. Latest , by Telegraph ! From Washington WAUIIINOTON, Sept, B.—The chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. All'. Boynton. hue resigned the pastorate of the First Congregational Church In this city, to go Into effect the first of March next.— The clerks In the different departments of the government, who are citizens of the State of Maine are preparing to go home to vote at the electioni next week. It is believed by Commissioner Rollins and his friends that the President is only waiting until after the 21st inst., to put in execution his purpose of suspending the Commissioner upon charges. Mr. Johnson does not conceal his aversion to a Congres sional session at this time. Murder Rua Outrage Pntr.AnEmputA, Aug. B.—A most atro cious murder and outrage occurred in this city on Sunday evening. A child named Mary Merman, 6 years of age, was sitting on the steps of her mother's residence, 2646 Oakley street, when a tall man came up and inquired the way to Dauphin street. On be• lug told he said he did not think ho could find it, and asked that the little girl be sent to show him, which was done. An hour elapsed and the child did not return, when a search commenced, but no tidings of her could be had during the night ; a search continued yesterday with the same result. This morning the body was found in the brick pond on Susquehanna Avenue, be tween sth and 6th streets. An examina tion of the body was made, and on the back ot• the head were several cuts, and the right arm was dislocated and had evidently been twisted ; the neck also dislocated, and the skirts of the little one were stained with blood, and it leaves no doubt but that the demon outraged her. The finding of the body caused the wildest excitement among the residents of the locality. If the perpo petrator of the diabolical outrage was caught he would have been torn to pieces. A post mortem examination takes place this afternoon. Detectives are now at the scene of the horrible outrage, trying to get a clue to the perpetrator. From Nashville NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sep. B.—The Legis lature is significantly silent on the militia business, the Senate Committee, which has the House Bills in charge, not being in a hurry to report; if the militia bill passes at all it will be In a modified forty, still it is very probable that a bill of some kind will pass. Tho bill for the suppression of the Ku-Klux passed its third reading yester day; it imposes heavy punishment on per sons found marked and disguised, and, also attaches penalties to any who may be found giving encouragement to the Ku- Klux. A gentleman who arrived from Knox ville to day reports having had a long con versation with Gov, Brownlow, during which the latter exhibited his proclamation calling out the militia. It will be borne in mind that the militia bill has not yet passed. Gov. Brownlow expressed himself as bit terly opposed to rebel enfranchisement, and said the only proper way to treat the hell deserving rebels was to annihilate by fire and sword. He also said if be got his militia once in the field he would give the rebels a lesson they would not soon forget. He is represented as being determined to the ex treme. From Cincinnati CISPINNATI, Sept. S.—Yesterday alter noon about 5 o'clock, a man named Thom as Lindley, a stranger in the city, came to his death from the effect of a pistol shot through the temple. It is thought to be the work of his own hand, and yet us the affair occurred in a disreputable house, and us indications olfoul play are not wanting, there is a suspicion that other hands may have fired thd pistol that did the mischief. Mr. Lindley bad papers on his person that showed that during the war he had been a member of the First Pennsylvania Caval ry. He appears to have been about twen ty-five years of age. How long he has been in the city, who his friends are, where his home is, no one yet has been able to learn. The coroner will hold an inquest on the body this forenoon. From St. Lonis ST. Louis, Sep.

Hookey Superintendent, held its annual picnic in a beautifut grove ad joining that village. The officers, teachers and scholars assembled at the church in the morning and from thence procecded to the grove ; on their arrival a lew hymns were sung, and a short address delivered by U. S. Clark. The scholars were then dismissed and permitted to amuse themselves accord. ing to their own inclinations. The grove being a delightful one, very densly shaded, and several swings having been erected, all the children (large and small) enjoyed themselves very much. At 12 o'clock dinner was announced and after partaking of the "good things" of which an abundance was provided all were again at liberty to amuse themselves. At 2 o'clock the children were again called to gether to listen to a short address from Father Boehm, as he is here familiarly call ed, and who is the oldest Methodist preacher in the United States, he being nearly 94 years of age. Father Boehm based his re marks upon the commandment " Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long ctn." How appropriate! He no doubt "practised what he preached," for his days have been long. One of those venerable men, who bind the past to the present; one of a generation that is passed away addressing the little ones who. will a comprise a future generation. What mb ient for reflection did the imprissive scenes afford. After Father Boehm's address the .childred were again dismissed and, after spending a few more pleasant hours, they were dismissed to their homes. SUNDAY SCROOL CELEBRATION.—The Union Sunday School celebration at Hin kletown, on Saturday, was a very fine af fair. A correspondent informs us that at 9 o'clock A. M., the scholars formed in pro cession and beaded by the New Holland Band, proceeded to the Grove selected for the occasion, which was beautifully situa ted on the banks of the Conestoga creek.— On arriving at the grove, several hymns were sung by the children, under the Su perintendence of Prof. Boyer. An excel lent repast was afterwards served up, of which not only the Sunday School scholars, but all present partook. The Rev. J. Wig gins, of the Methodist Episcopal Church then addressed the children, in a very happy and pleasant manner, much to the gratifi cation of all in attendance. It was decided ly the finest Sunday School celebration ever witnessed in Hinkletown. THE DEMO. RACY OF Memwrra.—.A. well informed correspondent from Marietta gives us a very cheering account of the po litical prospect in that town and vicinity. The people are fully awake to the great is sues of the present campaign, and the sense less partisan cries of the Radicals fall on unheeding ears. The good work goes bravely on.

A FIRE.—The small double stable, situ ated immediately south of East Chestnut street, in the alley between East Chestnut and East Orange streets, running west from Lime street, was almost entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday. The stable belonged to Mr. David Hostetter and to Mr. J. A. Sprenger. The part belonging to Mr. Hos• tetter was insured to the amount of $lOO in the Lancaster Home Insurance Company. A carriage, belonging to Mr. H., was in the stable when the fire broke out, and was taken out before it was injured by the flames. A sleigh, belonging to Mr. Sprenger was taken from the stable, and also a lot of corn, belonging to the same gentleman, be fore the fire bad injured it. The hay belong ing to Mr. Sprenger, and destroyed by the fire, is estimated to have been worth $25. There was no insurance on Mr. Sprenger's portion of the stable or its contents, his loss will consequently be much larger than Mr. Hostetter's. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, an unsuccessful at tempt having been made on last Wednes day evening to set fire to the same stable. The Firemen were promptly on band and, notwithstanding the combustible character of the stable and its contents, soon checked the progress of the flames. NEW PATENT.—John C. Cookson of this city, has just received Letters Patent for an Improved Distilling Apparatus for Spirits, dated September 1, MS.

It is esteemed quite a curiosity in the neigh borhood, and a large number of citizens have called to see it. LARGE EEL.—On Saturday last Mr. Christian Burkholder, while 'fishing In his dam in a small run near New Haven, caught a very large eel, which weighed six pounds. Court riooaaatuw• The Court of Common Pleas for the trial of civil cases met, Wednesday morning, at the usual hour. judges Long and Hayes were present, tbelatter presiding. The jury in the case of Wm. Halve' vs. Myer Eisenberger, and Harriet Elsenberger, rendered a verdict in favor of defendants. This was an action of ejectment brought by the plaintiff against Myer and Harriet Eisenberger, to recover two small tracts of land situated in West Cocalioo township. The plaintiff alleged that said tracts of land in the possession of defendants was purchased with money given to the wife (Harriet) by the husband.. Myer Eisenber ger. The defence denied this and stated that said land was purchased by the wife Harriet Eisenberger out of her own sepa rate estate. it appears that Mrs. E. had alleged that she brought the money with which said tracts of lentil were purchased with her in gold coin from Germany, some thirty years ago while she was still single, and these allegations of Mrs. E. were proven by her son, who was called as a witness. The Court n charging the Jury admitted it to be a doubtful question whether a plain tiffs own allegations proven in such a man ner could be evidenceifor a Jury. It was also maintained by counsel for plaintiff thit a married woman owning:any personal pro perty, money or otherwise, previous to the act of 1848, that such money became by virtue of marriage the property;of the hus band, and for the wife to sustain her claim to the said money after the act of 1848, she must prove that her husband made an ab solute gilt of the money back to her subse. quent to the passage of said act. After the verdict for defendants Was announced, a motion was made by Mr. Price in arrest of Judgment, in order to tile reason for a new Wei. Price and Landis for plaintiff; J. B. Am wake and Swarr for defence. --...- - • . The application of Thoophilus Crawford, a soldier of the war of 1812, for a pension, was presented to the Court and endorsed as meritorious. Jacob Bechtold vs. Martin Harnlsh. This was un action of assumpalt brought by plaintiff to recover $lOO left by him In the hands of defendant. It appeared from the evidence that Bechtold, who was a soldier during the late war, was home on veteran furlough In February, 1864, and that he then lett the $lOO with Flemish on condi• Lion, that If he returned after the war wounded or sick, it was to be returned to him, if plaintiff did not return, it was to be kept by Mr H. until plaintiff's two daugh ters were 21 years of age, and then was to be given to them. The defence maintained that said money was an absolute gift to Mr. Harnish for the use of plaintiff's daughters, to be paid them when ever demanded by them. The defence also proved by plain tiff's own assertions that he authorized one of the daughters to get the money from the defendant, which she did. The jury after bearing the evidence, rendered a verdict In favor of defendant. Pyfer for plaintiff; Price for defence. On Thursday Judgment was given by consent in the case of George W. Compton vs. Stephen G. Bickani, E. D. White and Jonathan Sprecher. This Wks a summons in debt ou a recognizance against Stephen 0. Bickam for SXOO, issued August 14, 1867. H.

A COUPLE OF HAND-OME BANNERS.— We noticed, this morning, two very hand some banners, one of which was intended for Ephrata Council of the Order of Ameri cah Mechanics, the other for Conestoga Council of the same order, in this city. 'The banner for the Council at Ephrata is a very fine one and was ma le by Chas. E. Wise, of this city. It is of silk, on the front bide of the banner is inscribed " Ephrata Coun cil 116 0. U. A. M., in handsome gilt letters, on a crimson ground. On the reverse side, which is of a green color, is the motto of the Order "Honesty,lndustry, and Sobriety,"— below this motto are the words "Instituted, April 9th, 1867." The banner is very finely finished with gold fringe, etc. The cords for the bearers, and the stall' are made of the best material and in the best manner. The workmanship reflects great credit upon Mr. Wise and shows that our Lancaster artists are fully competent to successfully compete in matters of this kind with those of the large cities. The other banner was made by W. G. Mintzer, of Philadelphia, and is a much more expensive affair than the one just described. It is in size 8 feet long and nearly 5 feet wide, is made of tho best of silk, and is finished in tbo finest style. The top of the banner is constructed of blue silk velvet, arranged in a handsome and attrac tive manner. On the front side of the banner is the inscription "Conestoga Council, No. 8," and the motto "By our works judge us," and at the bottom the letters "O. of U. A. M." Between the name of the Council and the motto is the figure of a stalwart mechanic holding a heavy hammer, while near him is an an vil. Back of this significant figure is seen in the distance a large machine shop, and beyond it the sea upon which is represented a ship under full sail. On the reverse side, which is of a rod color, are the words "Hon esty, Industry and Sobriety;" below this motto is the inscription "Instituted March 13th, 1846." The tassels are gilt as aro also their cords. The cords for the bearers areof rod and white silk. The ban ner has a splendid border of gilt lace, and has a heavy gilt fringe at the bottom. It is designed that this magnificent banner be carried on a frame borne by four men ; the staff of the banner will be surmounted with a beautiful gilt eagle. Six guidons, three of which consist of the National colors and three of blue silk, the latter having in scribed upon them the word " Conestoga" accompany the large banner, and will be used with it by the Council on the day of parade. These flags are each 31 by 2 feet in size and very pretty, This large banner was made under the directions of the following committee : M. M. Greider, John Trissler, E. E.. Snyder, Benjamin Fox and A. Rhoads. Its design and execution reflect great credit upon the taste and management of the Committee. This banner will be on exhibition in the window of A. Rhoads' Jewelry Store, No. 4 East King street, until Friday ; where those of our citizens who may desire to, can see at their leisure this splendid specimen of the skill of our American mechanics.
