WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1870
Meeting of the County Committee.
As will be seen by a call publish
ed elsewhere the Democratic County
Committee will meet on next Monday.
As business of decided importance will
be transacted, it is to be hoped every
member will be present.
The Reform Movement
As will be seen by a call which we
publish elsewhere the independent
voters of Lancaster county, without re
spect to party, are called to meet in Con
vention at Fulton Hall, on Saturday,
October Ist, for the purpose of settling a
ticket to be voted for at the coming
eledtion. The need of reform in this
county has been openly and\ freely ad
mitted by every newspaper in it, with
out regard to political preferences),--
There is not one of them which has not
freely charged that corruption prevails.
There is naturally, therefore, deep seat
ed dissa'Usfaction with the course of
events in the minds of very ninny of the
more honest and intelligent men of the
Republican party; and multitudes of
them will refuse to obey the party at
last. They believe what the newspapers
of their own party Said before the nom
inations were made, and are not to be
satisfied afterward so easily us the edi
tors of those papers seem to be. The in
dependent movement now inaugurated
is backed up by many of the very best
and most intelligent Republicans in the
rural districts. Should a ticket compos
ed of honest and capable men be nom
inated next Saturday, it will receive the
Individual support of the Deliewratie
party in Lancaster county.

The Cause of Corruption and the Remedy
It is dangerous to permit any political
party to obtain too great a preponderance
of power in a republic. Rioter) , has
proven that powerful majorities in a
representative government are very apt
to act tyrannically and sure to become
corrupt. The conduct of the Republican
party in this country is an instance in
point. Coming into power during a
period of intense political excitement,
its leaders pushed their ideas to the ex
treme, and plunged the nation into a
gigantic civil war which wiser councils
would have avoided. During the strug
gle the very worst elements of society
were thrown to the surface. Congress
was filled with men who paid no regard
to constitutional restraints, and the most
sacred rights of the citizen were as com
pletely disregarded by a government
professing to be Republican as ever they
were under any despotisni. Thieves
swarmed in public places, and the cost
of the war was greatly increased by the
corruption which pervaded every de
' partment of tilt government. The most
desperate means were employed to con
trol elections, and up to the present day
it has been impossible to secure an im
partial investigation of any act of Con
gress or the doings of any public official.
Every attempt of the kind has either
been summarily crushed in its inception,
or referred ton packed Committee forthe
express purpose of insuring the presen
tation of a whitewashing report.
When the war closed shoddy contracts
and divers other devices by which for
tumts were suddenly accumulated were
swept away, and new plans for plunder
ing the public had to be resorted to.—
Ring legislation in ( ',ingress and in our
t-lbilt,J.egislatures continued to flourish,
and ttje system which had sprung up
during (he war was perfected. It came
to pass that nothing could be done with
out the stimulating influence of bribes.
Capitalists could count with absolute
certainty upon securing the passage
of any tel through Congress or a
Radical State Legislature, provid
ed they were willing to may the
price the Hug demanded. Ify
111Valla till' wilt monopoly sod the Les

upon the country, and other legislation
of the kind put through Congress. One
improper and iniquitous tariff' bill after
al Ili( 11'1' was passed by purchaAed votes,
and as regularly as l'ungress assembled
the subject was re-opened, in order that
the usual profitable means of settling it

oflered a tempting bait, and an aro
greater than the entire territory ill

'al payment for their votes. Rascality
:t similar character, but on a smaller
•ale, has been the rule in every Mate
egislature where the Republican party
as had a majority. Other branches of
overnment have not been free from
frroption, and a multitude of officials
aye become defaulters to large amounts,
of one in fifty of whom has been called
f account,
If the Republican party hail been less
powerful it would never have becomes) ,
fearfully corrupt as it is. AV - hen by
nn.ans a outrageous gurrymanderingin
the Northern States, and the control of
the South by force, it managed to pre
vent a fair expression of the opinion of
the people, the door for corruption and
extravagtuu•e was thrown wide open,
and an : u •my of thieves marched in to
take possession of every department of
the government. The fight made by
the people against the prevailing c•or
ruption and extravagance wasconducted
under disadvantageous circumstances ;
but they have been slowly :tiapping the
foundations of the edifice Whioll has

Col. Flak on Gen. Grant
Jim Fisk has revoked the pass of Gen.
Grant, and has declined to deadhead
him and his "innumerable relations any
longer." The following notice of the
fact appeared in the New York Sun the
other day :
" The President went to Long Branch on
the steamer Plymouth Rock on Tuesday
last, and on going °lithe boat exhibited a
pass on the New Jersey Southern Railroad,
but 119 Admiral Fisk had given orders not
to pass any of Gen. Grant's family on any
boats of the Narragansett Steamship Com
pany, his railroad pass was repudiated, and
the President's fare was demanded, not
withstanding bis right bower, Col. Tom.
Murphy, tried to push him through. John
dloey, of the Adams Express, hastened to
Grant's rescue, got him a ticket, and he
passed along."
The gallant colonel, thinking the
above statement was rather roughly
made in the Sun, wrote Mr. Dana a
letter, explaining the circumstances,
which concludes as follows:
My reason for taking this course kniew
ing the matter in a common-sense light)
was that I was weary of furnishing free
transportation to the President and his
INNUNfERARLE RELATIONS
over sea and land, as I did to a very great
extent last summer, particularly as I had
not the satisfaction of knowing that the
civilities extended were appreciated, never
having been even thanked for the efforts I
had made in the matter.
On reviewinglthe transactions of the past
year I found that I had not only furnished
a large amount of free transportation, but
that I had been allowed the great privilege
of subscribing to Mr. Grant's charities. In
the final settlement of the gold speculations
of the fall of ISO, in which I supposed (and
still believe) the President was a partner I
with us, I lied the following item charged
to my account: • " One-half of Grant's sub
scription to the Rawlins' fund, $. - )00." The
circumstances are simply these:
A subscription was started for the widow
of the late lamented Rawlins. The Presi
dent placed his name at the head of the list
fur $1,010); Mr. Gould followed for a similar
amount, and these signatures were followed
by others for various sums.
Mr. Gould, having himself paid the
amount. et opposite his name, was called
upon by an agent of the President to ad
vance the money for his time President's)
subscription; and this he did, taking it for
granted that this dish u was part
find parcel of other moneys posing through
the hands of Jt r. Corbin. 1 was, of course,
charged my proportion ; list 1 should never
have found fault with this, nor w‘Atid
have even mcntiourd it, were it not for the
manner in which the Presideot gossiped
about me in the fall of .ISi;9. Why he did
so (after what I had done for him . ), is only
known to hint who "makes the apples
round."
Taking . all the circumstances of tin
into consideration, and feeling, not like
Mhdtwher, "waiting for something to turn
up," but to a certain extent broken in sirit,
not being even thanked for what I had tone,
I determined, after quietly communing
with my own heart, to restore my peace of
mind by henceforth treating the President
of the Coiled States, and all connected with
I im, as becomes the high position he oe-
copies at, the head of this great nation,
ignoring his treatment of me, and never
for one moment assuming that I deserved
any thanks from him, or hire the slightent
resemblance to a gentleman, The result of
this determination was the issue of an order
Unit- whenever the President, or any of
his family, or staff, travelled 00 any of the
steamers of the Narragan,elt line, they
should ho treated with thegreatest respect,
but not upon any other footing than that of
•ladics or gentlemen.
In what a disgraceful light is the
Presidentof the United State: here pre
melded. James Buchanan refused to ac
cept a free pass from any railroad,
steamboat line or other method of con
veyance. Ile did so on principle, justly
thinking that it did not become a
man in public position to place
himself in an attitude whereby he
might be expected to favor any cor
poration. :rant is the first President
who has disgraced the high oilice
he holds by the acceptance of presents
of every description from houses,
horses, wines, whiskies and cigars,
down to hotel bills and free railroad
passes. The only gift he was ever
known to reh.l3o NV:1S:1 pointer dog, on
which the expressage W 11.5 not paid. Ile
is the must illustrious and successful
deadhead the world has ever seen. In
the art of bumming" he beats I;eau
Brummel, who has lived ill more than
a quarter of a century by sponging uPon
Iris aomaintanees. Col. Jim risk has
had the hardihood to shut down upon the
great national deadhead. Ile found the
thing rather expensive, and concluded
that it did not pay. others have been
more lucky, as inember , oi the ( 'abinet ,
Foreign Ministers and multitudes of of

lions, all of which are commenced with

last specimen of the kind is an epistle to
Charles \V. Ford, Revenue Collector of
St. Louis, in which the President puts his
official foot down upon B. Grate Brown,
Carl Schurz &Co. He informs theßeve
nue Collector that he, and all such as he,
will be expected to stand by the regular
Radical ticket. It is evident that (.rant
begins to fear that the Republican party
will drop to pieces before he secures a
re-election, and a chance to dispense of

Senator Wilson's Reply to Judge Black.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has
seen fit to attempt a reply to Judge
Black's crushing criticism of his eulo
gium upon Edwin M. Stanton. In the
October numberof the Aticintic Monthly
he publishes an article which is largely
made up of statements furnished by
Seward, Sumner, Howard, Dawes and
other Radicals who were in active pub
lic life at the commencement of the re
bellion. The uniform tenor of the evi
dence given by these men is to the effect
that Stanton met them in private for
the purpose of revealing such secrets a
he could glean in consequence of his
position as a recognized Democrat and
a member of Mr. Buchanan's adminis
tration. Anxious as Wilson and his
witnesses must naturally have been to
implicate Mr. Buchanan....44!l Judge
Black in the schemes of the rebels they
utterly fail to do so. On the contrary
Mr. Seward voluntarily gives the most
conclusive denial to charges which have
been widely circulated by the Radical
press of the country. He says Mr. Stan
ton "expesscd entire confidence in the
loyaltit of the Pre:fiCll. Id and of the ?wads
of the thpartmentB who remained asJo
eiated with him until the close of the ad-
Ininit;tration." Wilson proves just two
things. He proves by all the witnesses
whom he summons that Stanton was-a
sneaking spy, and that Buchanan and
Black -were loyal and true to the great
trusts confided to them.

attempt to cut the lino of the Orleans Rail

before the Fort of Ivry, they yesterday un
dertook to force a passage and secure con
trol of the line. They were loot in their
advance from Corbeil upon the main trunk
of the Orleans line at the hamlet of Vois
sons, a village commanded by low hills
and buried in woods, by the French. The
Prussian column of thirty thousand men
was encountered by a French force of about
equal numbers, posted in the most advan
tageous positions, and with a formidable ar
tillery. The engagement was extremely se
vere and lasted nearly six hours, a fresh
column of nearly 20,000 Prussians came up
after the battle had gone on for three hours I
and attempted, by a Hank movement, to
enter the woods. The slaughter here Was
fearful. The masked batteries of the French
mitrallleuses kept up so continuous and
terrible a fire that the cavalry and infantry
of the Prussians were decimated and re
pulsed along the whole line. They finally
fell back in disorder, hotly pursued by the
French, who cot oil their retreat upon Co
bell and the Essone, and drove them down
the main line of the Orleans road, more
than three miles through Sarigny and
Eponay-sur-Age, and back again about a
toile awl a half upon the village or mooch

and of Mazzini before taking any decisive
action, was oyerruled by the unanimous
voice of the ministers. I haters were sent at I

Prussia declares that it is her desire to con

wants Alsace and Lorraine as far as Metz
by right of conquest, and as the price of her
consent to an armistice. She dares to ask
surrender by Franco of Strasbourg, Total,
and the Fortress of .Monvalenan.
The inhabitants of Paris, in exaspera

BERLIN,Sept. 24.—The French fortifica
tion of Tod., a few miles west of Nancy,
was captured by the Prussians at sunset,
yesterday, (Friday.)
A telegram from Berlin announces that
the report of the capture of Toul was made
public in that city last evening, and this
morning the report is fully confirmed by
another despatch which states that the sur
render took place at sunset yesterday.—
Several lays ago the surrender of Toul was
announced with a great flourish by the
papers not connected with the Associated
Press ; but, like all their" great beats," the
news proved to be bogus.
On Friday, August 12, Marshal MacMa
bon abandoned Nancy, which was imme
diately taken possession of by the Prussians.
The French retreated to Toul, which is 12
miles west of Nancy, and it was expected
that they would make a stand there, as the
fortress would afford a rallying point for
MacMahon's demoralized army. But this
demoralization had become too great, and
M.acMahon, leaving in Tout as largo a force
as it could conveniently shelter, continued
his retreat towards Chalons. A portion of
the Crown Prince's army was detached to
besiege the place, but this was soon with
drawn, and the task allotted to the Land
wehr and a powerful siege train. The gar
rison made a vigorous resistance and fre
quently indulged in a sortie, but, although
they held the Prussians at bay and fre
quently inflicted serious loss upon them in
repelling their assaults, they did not succeed
in dislodging the enemy, and the fall of the
fortress was merely a question of time.
Tout, whose heroic and protracted resist
ance to the enemy presents a fitting paral
lel to the grand defense of Strasbourg is one
of the oldest cities of Europe, and is men
tioned by Julius C'resar under the name of
Tullum. It sustained, from the earliest
ages, a military reputation, and was attack
ed by all invaders. Goths, Burgundians,
Franks, and 11 uns ravaged and devastated
it in turn. After the barbarians came the
feudal lords of the middle ages, with whom
there was constant war, and lastly the
bishops and the burgesses quarreled for
two hundred years until the seventeenth
century, when it was transferred from the
Count of Champagne to the French crown.
During all this period it was considdred a
military post of great value, and it was
finally fortified by Vauban. 1 lot the more
formidable defenses of Metz, which is thirty
miles distant, in an E. N. E. direction. have
latterly dwarfed its fortifications and im
paired iLs importance as a strategic point.
The city is situated on the loft bank of the
Moselle, 12 miles west of Nancy, on the hue
of the railroad from Paris to Strasbourg.—
At the outbreak of the war it had a popula
tion of about 9000 souls, and manulitcturies
of lace, calico, and hardware of some im
port:nice. There is a chalvbeate spring in
the neighborhood. in addition to an arse

LONDON, September 2:1.-1110 following
is a letter front Ifismarek concerning the
means and conditions of peace addressed
to the North German representative+
abroad :
MkAt• x, September hi. —Your Excellen
cy is familiar with the circular which NI.
Jules Nacre has addressed to the foreign
representatives of Franco in the name of
the men at present holding power in Paris,
and who call themselves "La Uotirerne
ment de la Thlicnse Nalimiale." I have
learned simultaneously that M. Thiers has
entered upon a confidential mission to the
foreign courts, and I nifty presume that he
will endeavor on the one side to create a
belief in the love for peace of the present
Parisian government, and on the otherside
will request the intervention of the neutral
powers in favor of a peace which shalt de
prive Germany of the fruits of her victories,
and for the purpose of preventing every
basis of peace which would make the next
attack. of France stn Germany more diffi
cult.
We cannot believe in the sincerity of
the desire of the present Parisian govern
ment to make peace so long as it continues
by its language and acts at home to excite
the passions of the people and to increase
the hatred and bitterness of a population
stung by the sufferings of scar, and to re
pudiate in advance every basis acceptable
to Germany as unacceptable by France.
By such a course it becomes impossible to
make peace. 'rho people should be pre
pared for peace by calm wordsand in terms
corresponding to the gravity of the occa
sion. . .
If we are to believe that negotiations will
us for peace are honestly intended, the de
wand that we should conclude an armistice
without any guarantees for Our condition
of peace could be meant seriously only on
the supposition that we lack military or
political Judgment or are indifferent to the
interests of Germany. Moreover, the hope
entertained by the present rulers in Paris,of
a diplomatic or material intervention of the
neutral powers in favor of France prevents
the French nation from seeing the necessi
ty of peace. When the French nation be
come convinced that as wantonly con
jured up the war alone, :and Germany has
had to tight it out alone, must also set
tle account with Germany alone, they
will put an end to their resistance, now
surely unavailing.
It would be an act of eruelty to the French
people by the neutral ;maws to permit the
Parisian government to nourish among the
people hopes of intervention that cannot lie
realized, and thereby lengthen Ulf) von test.
We are far from any inclination to mix
in the internal affairs of France. It is in,
material to us what kind of government the
French people shall formally establish fir
themselves. The government or the Em
peror Napoleon has hitherto been the only
one reeognized by us. (fur conditions of
peace, with whatever government, legisla
ling for the purpose we may have to nego
tiate with, are wholly independent of the
question how or by whom the French na
tion is governed. They are prescribed to
us by the nature of things, and by the law
of self-defence against a c rodent and hostile
neighbor.
The unanimous voice of the d ffirinanie
governments and the German people de
mands that f dermany shall be protected by
better boundaries 0111.11 We have hitherto
hail against the dangers and vildellee we
ilaVO OX perienced from all French govern
ments for centuries. So long as France re
mains in possession:iif Strasbourg andMetz
milting is its offensi ye strategically stronger
thais our defensive so far as all South Ger
many anti North Germany 011 tho left bank
of the Rhine are concerned. Strasbourg, in
the possession of France is a gate wide open
for attack on South l dermany. In the hands
of It ertnany, Strasbourg and Metz obtain a
I defensive character.
In 11101 . 0 than twenty wars we have never
been the aggressor etc France; and we de
mand of the latter nothing else than our
safety in our own land, so often threatened
by it. France, on the other hand, will re
gard any peace that may be made now as
an armistice only, and, in order to avenge
the present defeat, will attack us in the
same quarrelsome and wanton manner as
this year, as soon as it feels strong enough
ill its own resources or in foreign alliances.
In rendering it difficult fur France, from
whose initiative alone hitherto the disturb
ances of Europe have resulted, to resume
the offensive, we at the same time act in
the interest of Europe, which is that of
peace. From Germany no disturbance of
the European peace is to be feared. Al
though Franee hail been trying to force the
war upon us for heir years, We, by our rare
and b restraining the feelings of our na
tional-self-respect so incessantly outraged
by France, had prevented its iiecurrence.
We mean now for our future safety to de
mand the price of our mighty efforts. We
shall demand only that which we must have
for our defense. Nobody will be able to
accuse its of want of moderation if we insist
main this just and equitable demand.
Your Excelleney will make those views
ffid ir own, and advocate them in discus
sions. Itissit ECK.

After the proclamation of the Prussian

" What I have be say to that," replied Col.
Fisk, "is, that it is no denial of our state
ment at all. 'rho fact that Mr. Brant paid
a $2,500 subscription--if it be a fact—has
nothing, to do with his not paying a ;.' 4 l,uou
subscription, We don't know anything
about that 33,500 matter; but we do home
all about the :31,000 affair. Ur. a ;rant's re
lations with Clem Rawlins have nothing to
do with the question either; and I am licit
going to allow him to hide from public dis
gust in this !natter Icy invoking the memory
of that distinguished and beloved man.
What I want Mr. !;rant to answer is this:
Did he or did he nut subscribe $l,OOO to the
Rawlins fund got up Icy a ;011. Blltterilehl in
this city? And then 1 want him to answer
this question: Did he pay that thousand
dollar subscription, or was it not paid by
us with Mr. (joulcl's check? That's the
point involved. That's the question at issue.
Whether Rawlins died indebted to Grant,
and it' so, whether Grant destroyed the ev
idences "t• that indebtedness, anal now an
(lionizes the publication of that performance
to wound the feelings of his friend's widow
and half orphan children, are matters with
which we have hail nothing to in, thank
God! We have never raised any such issue.
We leave a ,rant tic abide the consequences
"r introducing such new matter, as the law
yers say, into the ease. W hat we say is,
that t; rant subscribed ‘'',.:'looo to the ihle:lins
fund got up Lore in New York by General
Butterfield, :mil that we paid that subscrip
tion for Rico with Mr. thculd's check, as
stated in the .`,',act yesterday. Nnw, let
a ;rant, nr his 'authorized' agent, deny that
if he will, and then We'll show the public
our proof,. We are net going to be led
astray from this issue by any special plead
ing, or icy the introduction cif irrelevant
matter. We plant ourselves acti that ono
point, as to this business. We have enough
i other sharp sticks for*; Feet, WhelleVer see

thing at a time is our motto. That's the

Republlcanigm In England
The Mar Spangled Banner Carried In
Procession and Loudly cheered.
LONDON, Sept. 19.—The Democratic dem
onstration of the people of London to-night,
in Trafalgar Square, is one of the greatest
popular assemblages over aeon in the Brit
ish capital. For nearly two hours the
streets leading to Clarkenwell, Bethnal
Green and Holborn were alive with the
successive processions of the workingmen's
societies and the Democratic ieisoeietions of
the metropolis. Each body of men, 11,1 it
advanced along the crowded thoroughfares,
preceded by bands of music and illumi
nated by torches and transparencies, was
followed by repeated cheers from Cho people
who thronged the sidewalks. Many houses
and shops on the line of the procession were
illuminated, and from the windows of many
others depended in the gaslight the flags of
France, England and America. I counted
no fewer than thirty American 'lags dis
played along the Strand between Somerset
House and Trafalgar Square. By S o'clock
Trafalgar Square was one dense mass of
people front the front of the National Acad
emy to around the statue of King Charles,
and the panorama of the sway ing and shout•
ing multitude, with the blitzing torches, the
illuminated lanterns, and the banners ris
ing and falling in the splendor shed over
the scene by the calcium lights disposed
about the Nelson monument, I\ - 3,1 pictur
esque and impoolng in the highest degree.
Perfect order prevailed along the route
of the processions and throughout tho pro
ceedings of the evening. and the police
were simpiespectators of the Unusual scene.
The banners borne by the societies were
inscribed with mottoes proclaiming the
Great doctrines of liberty, equality, :nut
fraternity. One in particular, carried by a
society front Hackney, on which was in
scribed "The United States of Europe greet
the Cnited States of America with peace on

serenaded Governor Roffman this evening.
In response to repeated calls the Governor
Thanks, my friends, sincere thanks, for
this prompt and hearty ratification by you
of the action of the Rochester Convention
to-day. I learn that its proceedings were
marked by the greatest enthusiasm and the
most perfect unity. No warring factious,
no clashing Interests, no personal aspira
tions, no individual jealousies warred the
harmony of its deliberations. It came from
the people, represented the people, and
has spoken for the people, and in the
people's name. No administration con
trolled it. Its delegates have not, been
influenced by the promise or office or
purchased with a price. They were the
independent representatives of their inde
pendent constituents, and they will return
to their homes disturbed by no heart-burn
ings or jealousies, satisfied with their work
and confident of the approval of the people.
Such a condition of things, especially when
contrasted with the proceedings and restilbl
of the recent Convention at Saratoga, to
which I need not further allude, iniliestes
for you and fur the ticket this day nomi
nated a brilliant and glorious victory.
Never has our party in this State presented
a more solid front; never has it shown a
greatec determination to achieve success;
never were its prospects brighter.. There
will be no want of energy or activity Is
e:luso the result is deemed certain. All

The Spirit of the Deineerney
Not since the days of Silas Wright /1:14

ed in the Democratic ranks of the State of
Nov York as that which saluted the renom
ination of Uov. Hoffman z Rochester on
Wednesday last. Not only were a hundred
guns tired in the piano of iris nativity—New
York city—but all over the Slate the thun
der of artillery and the sparkle and glow of
fireworks proclaimed the endorsement of
the people. Gus. Hoffman has, therefore,

Governor, Gen. 'Woodford, who heads a
ticket that is received with icicle coolness
by even itaa own supporters in the interior
of the State. Ifolimall has the inside track,
and we have no reason us yet to change the
opinion WO expressed some time age—
namely, that ha will bo ro-olecled by 711,000

been military capauitity end edaptetimi,
rather than passenger or merchandise

in Prussian Germany may be seen distinct
