Lancaster 3ntrltigencer. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870 The Election in this City. The election in this City passed off very quietly yesterday. The vote polled was not a full ono. The Republicans turned out better than the Democrats. Every negro eagerly availed himself of the privilege of voting. The white bummers of the Radical party in some instances walked up arm-in arm with the greasiest and filthiest specimens of the African race. 'ln the Ninth Ward the whole Republican Council Ticket would have been de feated but for the negro vote. The Rad ical politicians put themselves on a per fect equality with the blacks. The friends of 0. J. Dickey were of fering to bet throughout the day that he would carry the city, but the returns tell a very different story. Autumn Days Lovelier days than those which come to us with the full moon of October, the year knows not in all its round. The pure air braces every nerve and gives energy and vigor to the system. We walk amid the glories of the season, with head erect and a consciousness of strength. There are no more cloudless skies, no brighter days of sunshine, no moonlit nights more soft and splendid than such as we have been enjoying.— The denizens of cities are braced up to he work before them,and most of them forget, or fail to remember how glori ously beautiful the country now is.— They read of the loveliness of our Amer lean Autumns, but comparatively few have seen one-half the unmatched splendors which come to erown the glory of this season. Ile who would view our forests in their most attractive attire, must hie to the mountains in October. The early frosts have now touched the foliage, and as the silvery sheen disappears beneath the rays of golden sunshine, a thousand tints of ever-varying beauty are devel oped. Colors richer and more gorgeous than were ever mixed by the mOst skil ful painter, are laid on with a lavish hand upon hill and mountaln side. A vast pan oramaof matchless loveliness is unrolled which changes color with every passing cloud, and assumes new tints at the magic touch of each light-winged zephyr. The chestnut and the hickory have clad themselves in garments of gold; the oaks are arrayed in vestments of darker colors, which range from light yellow to the soberest brown ; the ma ples are decked in gorgeous coats of changing hues ; the gum and the dog wood flaunt ill flaming red, and the whole forest has dressed itself out as if intent upon indulging in one last. splen did revel before the rude blasts of No vember strip Mr the covering of each tree 11111 leave it to battle, with bare, brown arms, against the strong winds of winter.

No wonder that he begins to see that his popularity is gone. It is gone nevOr to return. The Delaware Election The Radicals have liven bragging that they were going to carry little Dela ware by the help of the negro vote, but there, as elsewhere, they forgot that they would lose enough of white votes to defeat all their calculations. The election for township tinkers and in spectors of the State election in Dela ware, took place MU the 4th. Although a heavy negro vote was polled, the Democrats carried the Stale, by from twenty-live hundred to three thousand majority. New Castle county only gave twenty-three Radical majority. This will do for little Delaware. The white men of that State made a clean light for a white man's government, and they carried their point in a most decided manner. THE 11fiavouri .I.kmwerat (Radical) comes back on MEANT for attempting to dictate whom the Republicans of that State should support for Clovernor In the foltowing style, in its issue of September 23: We do not elect a President to ho the master of the party in all Stator, to dictate to its members fur whom they shall vote for Governor and other State °dicers, or to inform them whether or no ho considers them good Republicans. in a word, we elect a President and not a Pope. Tricks of Tricksters The Georgia election for two years has not only not been successful, but it is not certain that it may not be defeat ed. The election is postponed from November Bth to December2Oth, so that Congress, which meets the first Mon day in December, if the chance for a Radical victory should appear slim, may pass another supplemental recon struction bill, postponing the election till 1872. In Mississippi no Congres sional elections are to be held, this fall, as the election in Mississippi last year was managed by U. B. General Ames, and ho decided who were members of the Mississippi Legislature, and from his decision there was no appeal. Be fore Gen. Amed put aside his sword, he declared the candidates for Congress on the Republican ticket elected to the un expired term of the 41st Congress, and to the full term of the 42d Congress.— Therefore, no election is to be held this year, and an attempt will be made to foist these men upon Congress as repre sentatives of the people of Mississippi, although the Constitution says that "the House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States," The men whom Ames elected in 18G0, the people of Mississippi had no con trol over, and of course they are all Republicans, while those whom the peo ple would elect in 1870 would be Con servatives. This is the way the Repub licans manage to prevent an expression of opinion, and it takes the party o " moral ideas" to perform these vik tricks. The Germans and the Negro. The division of the Republican party Governor in Missouri, is on the line he negro (McClurg), and the Gor da (Grate Brown). The St. Louis (Schurz's paper,) says: " The Gorman names on the ticket of the ow party are a great ornament to it. Ma ,r NN'eigel and lien. Salomon are gentlemen at well-known honesty, and as good civil o [Beers as they were soldiers. The ( ;min ans shine by their absence front the McClurg ticket. 11 course McClurg and cr u npa up ray upon the neyt o, and they do not expert a tangle (iceman vote. The (Jarman vote, more unanimous than ever, will support It. Brat?. Brown and the principles of progress which ho and his colleagues on the ticket represent. Wo predict 20,155 majority for the new party in the county of St. Louis. Its majority in the State will not be less than 50,000." ( Grant, We see, is about to try his hand again in State elections, and, in Missouri, is to side with the negro, against the ermans, and Carl Schurz, whose friends throughout the State, holding Federal offices, he threatens to remove. Gen. Grant, we regret to say, is turning out to be about the smallest of the very small politicians of the coun try. A Picture of the Grabbers.

I n that We have another proof that the malignant spirit of Know-Nothingism lurks in the hearts of the leaders of the Radical party. Ithas been smothered for the time being because the votes of foreigners were needed to keep the Democratic party out of power, but the time is not far distant when it may be expected to break out again. We eau not see how any German or Irishman can support a party which holds such yiews as are expressed by the Mincrs , .1w•11, tl, which is recognized as one of the leading uepubnean newspaper:, of Pente-yivania.

The True Reason A largo number of Radical Congress men in di in.rent States have declined to run again. These well-conten led gen tlemen invariably assign as a reason for retiring h•uua politics " the necessities of private business." Nearly all of them have represented close districts, and the true reason why they have abandoned the political arena is because they have been well convinced that they could not be re-elected. The title is setting very strongly against the Radical party, and the Democrats will have a majority in the next House if they poll the full vote.

An Mutest Democrat will take his place. anti-Grant Republicans in I\ lis souri arc making an etictive campaign. The prospect is that B. Gratz Brown, their candidate for (iovernor, will be elected. Ile is a man of great ability, profoundly versed in the philosophy of public !Whirs, and endowed with courage and integrity that may yet raise him to a very high position in the politics of the country. It would not be surprising if, after beating Grant in this election in Missouri, he should yet be able to beat him in the Republican National Con vention of 1872. On That Line Grant is now engaged in moving the troops he sent to North Carolina Into Alabama, where an election will soon be held. He ought to have learned a lesson from the overwhelming defeat which followed his outrageous interfer ence in the election of North Carolina. But he is a very stupid fellow, and will continue to fight it out on the military line if it takes him all winter. In the Spring he will go off to Long Branch again; and in 1872 he will go "where the woodbine twineth." Andrew Johnson Andrew Johnson would have been unanimously nominated for Congress if he had not declined the nomination. The Democrats nominated James White In a convention which was perfectly harmonious, if the papers of both parties Published in the district are to be be lieved. The rumors of dissensions which have made their appearance i n the shape of telegrams from Washington are false. The Democracy are a unit, but the more decent Radicals refuse to support the cadet-selling forger of bounty warrants, Roderick Random Butler. I=!

The recent trial and: conviction of Marga ret Waters in London, for the crime of child-murder, has shown that in the field of cold-blooded cruelty and mercenary mur der women can attain quite as much Unction as mon. Traupmann and hi victims have been fairly eclipsed b tars and her forty murdered infants Frenchman slaughtered a whole fam obtain a few francs; but the Englishwo for a period of four years carried on a sys• tern of child-murder for the paltry sum of two shillings and sixpence per child. It VMS her practice to adopt the undesirable children of repentant parents, and to furnish them "with all the comforts of n home" at the rate of eighteen-pence per week. To the mind of Airs. Waters, the only comforts which a reasonable infant could require appear to have been perfect quiet and unlimited supplies of laudanum. 1t was her custom to give her young charges a substantial breakfast of elixir of opium, and then to secure to them the opportunity for undisturbed repose by locking them up in her bedroom and leaving them unmo lested for the remainder of the day. The infants, however, refused to thrive under this motherly treatment; and as they suc cessively died of what tko physician ex ' amined upon the trial called "starvation and narcotism," Mrs. Waters was accus tomed to wrap them in paper and drop them in unfrequented localities wheno'er she took her walks abroad. The vacancies thus caused in her youthful family by the obstinate refusal of the infants to take kindly to the regimen of repose and laud anum were promptly filled by the adop tion of fresh children. By this ingeniouss method the thrifty Mrs. Waters was grad ually accumulating a competence for the support of her declining years, when her occupation wavudely disturbed Iv the po lice, at the instigation of a certain Mr. Cow en, whose unmarried daughter had inad vertently given birth to an unexpected child, which Mrs. Waters had undertaken to bring up in the midst of her peculiar in fantile comforts. Being placed on trial for the murder of this infant, her long career of successful suppression of unwelcome children was brought to light, and she was not only found guilty of having murdered the Cowen infant, but in the course of the trial the incidental murder of at least 39 other infants was shown to have resulted from her successful practice of baby tkrni ' lung—as the English press has called her peculiar profession. The herself scenic to have been utterly without feeling. When asked if she had anything to say in her defence before sentence way passel epee her, she Math) a rambling speech, setting forth what she knew about farming as applied to infants, and claiming that her management of them had resulted disastrously only in conse querns, of the ill-advised interference of the police, who had persisted in disturbing tier in her Whit) and motherl ycourse of treatment. In reply to two evidence which proved that the police had found live in fants lying at the point of death on a sofa in her room, she urged that only three in stead of five were thus found, and evident ly regarded so small a trifle as the starva tion of three children as wholly unworthy of notice.

LIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870. Cuba—The :Vow Captain-General The new Captain-General of Cuba, Don Feknando Fernandez de Cordova, is a mem ber of a distinguished Spanish family, and his brother, also a Spanish general, has been prominently concerned, as well as himself, in the affairs of his country, from time to time, since early in the present century. Don Fernando was born in Mad rid, in 1792, entering the military service in 18101 and was rapidly promoted during the war with Napoleon. In 1841 he was impli cated with General Concha in the movement instigated by O'Donnell against Esparto. In 1846 ho was temporarily, Minister of War, and was then made Inspection-Goff oral of Infantry. Two years afterward be I was sent to Italy at the head of an army to aid in the restoration of the Popo. On March 8,1850, he was designated as Captain-General of New Castile, in the following year to the same position in Cuba, and in 1853 General in-chief of Cavalry. At tho outbreak of the revolution in 1854, he was called upon by Queen Isabella to form anew cabinet. This he declined to do, but he ordered his troops to tire upon the insurgents, in the name of the Queen, and when the latter were suc cessful he fled from Madrid in the night of the 27th of July, and took refuge in France. Ile returned to Madrid after the events of 1856, and resumed his rank as General. In September, 1854, ho was named Minister of War in the Cabinet of Narvaez. i=9==2 Ono item of expenditure under the Grant administration, during the fiscal year 1000- 70, will, wo think, prove interesting to the white voters or Pennsylvania. The Freed men's Bureau is charged with one million three hundred and twenty-live thousand ono hundred and ninety dollars and twen-, ty-five cents ($1,3115,190.2.5). This was ap propriated from the taxes paid into the treasury by the people to feed, clothe, edu cate and train to Radical politics the lazy negroes of the South, who, although fully emancipated more than four years before, were still treated as warc§7 of the govern ment at the expense of the white tax-pay ers. And this largo sum of more than ono million three hundred thousand dollars was but a small portion of the actual expense incurred by the government in behalf of the negroes. The annual expense of the Negro Bureau, during its existence, was perhaps not much short of ton millions of dollars. Will any loud-mouthed Radical point to an instance wherein the Radical Congress and administration have shown a similar extravagant sympathy for White vuarJ They cannot do it. It isn't on rec ord.

New Cas tle county, tho stronghold of Radicalism and of the negro vote, gives only forty-four majority for that party.

POLICE AFFAIR-4.—On Thursday °yenta; two young mon from the country, named Harry Senor and Abe Lyno, both partly intoxicated, commenced a playful tussle at Brenner's Hotel, In West King street. From fun at first the contest grew almost to a fight, when another young man named Bon. Kauffman took part in it, as the friend of Lyno. Mr. Frederick Senor then interfered to part the parties, when lie W,LS knocked down and rather roughly handled. In the meantime the police were sent for and somo of them appeared, and as is mum' with our "efficient," force allowed the grin eipals in the disturbance to go scot-free and arrested the peace-makers. The firs, ono taken hold of by the officers was Mr. Senor himself, who protested against the arrest. This brought to his aid a mein named Martin G. Funk, who informed the officers that Senor could not be arrested, :es ho had ZolllllliLted 110 offense. Thereupon "our vigilant" threatened Funk, and as be talked Wok boldly, seized him Intel attempt ed to drag him to the lock-up. Ile resisted, had his clothing badly torn, and re ceived a heavy blow from 0110 of the all ' err's billies. Mr. John Brady, seoing the oilleorristrug gling with Funk, and mistaking tout fir Senor, interfered for the purpose of ad..- ng him to go along with the .:ilicers, when he too was arrested, and the whole party taken to the Mayor's office. A groat CrOWil was immediately in attendance, the oin,o Ivey filled and the doors locked. Indescrib able confusion prevailed In the Mayor's ottico. Policemen with drawn billies were making more noiso than anybod y o,, :m i l threatening to arrest peaceable smsmho's right in the Mayor's mhce, Buring the confusion I ecneral Fisher said there was no complaint against any of the iolio4 except Funk, whom he held in ~?.300 bail to appear at tl o'clock tllly . morning to answer t h e charge of resisting an °nicer.

Their tostimony awns Very explicit, that Sheriff Frey was on his way from the Examiner officer, Cooper's 11. rte: to nee Into fathor-in-law . ; that sts:lng the crowd about We Mayor's t litre, ho stopped :and askod Amman; what it was all abut, Whilo the Colonel was oxplaining to him the difficulty at lironner's which ro suited in thin arrest of Forth, (previously roported,j(nlicer ('rower ordered thin crow.l to open the way; that the Sheriff and hi: frionds obeyed tho order by taking their positions close to the curbstono ; that short ly a‘ftorwards ('renter :again camo along :and or(birell thorn bi stand further back ; that Frey said they were as far bark RN they could get without going Into the street ; that after memo further words tremor said the Shari ii' w•,12.1 no hotter than anybody else, and finally caught hint by the throat lacerating his nook, tore off his neck tie and collar, and that then the Shorili seized hint by both arms and backed him against the wall of the City Hall as previously stated. Tho Weight of evidence and the diameter of the wittioasos were so docidoilly in lax or of Sheriff Frey that oven tho"quarterni(ln" magistrate took rofugo behind "a conflict tostintony" and dismissed Liao case, lint shall the mutter end there? Are brutal policemen to be allowed to assault and arrest respectable citizens and still hold their positions on the police force? Messrs. Frey, Senor, and Funk were all assaulted and arrested on Thurs day evening without a shadow of law, and it is Mayor Atloo's duty, if he wishos his administration to escape deeper odium than yet attaches to it, to dismiss ever?, pollee offi cer who took purl in the late outrages. It is not enough that the victims be merely dismissed after they havo been throttled and battered with billies with out canoe; they must be protected against the recurrence of such outrages, and this can only be done by a police force of sober and gentlemanly officers.
