COOPER, OP LAWRENCE COUNTY A FULL POLL OF TTIEREOOCRATIC VOTE WILL SECURE THE ELE lON OF OUR STATE TICKET BY A LAME MAJORITY. LET EVERY DEMOCRAT REMEMBER TRAT, AND IMPRESS THE TRUTH OF IT UPON TILE MINDS OF BIS NEWILBOR.S. Irish Fends The feud between the Irish factions, which led to the recent troubles in New York City, has been a long continued one. On the Ist, or, as we compute it now, the 12th of July, 100, was fought the memorable battle of the Boyne, at which William of Orange, with his Walloons, Frieelanders, Swedes and Holland Dutch encountered James the Second and his Irish and French troops. The passage of the Boyne:was forced by William, and the forces of James were utterly routed. This was a sore blow to the Irish, and one which they did not bear meekly. But Orangeism, us it now exists, was of much later origin. It is claimed that the Orange Societies sprang from opposition to the spirit of liberty which was kindled throughout the world by the glorious struggle of our fore-fathers in the days of the Revo lution. So many Irish Presbyterians took part in our war for independence that a strong feeling against the British governinent was excited, and this senti ment spread southward, embracing within its influence the inhabitants of the Catholic counties. Then, fur the Ilrat time since the plantation of Ulster by King James, did the people of the North and the South of Ireland lied themselves in accord II OM the great Principles of freedom. Love of liberty soon begat a desire for independence at home, and one result was the organiza tion known as Defenders and afterward as I nited Irishmen. Societies were es tablished throughout the island, em bracing men of all creeds and classes, the bond of union between them being a common desire fora 11;eer government and love of their native hold. So powerful did theme organizations come to be that the English ( innvernnrent became seriously alarmed, and the high ergentry,who held their lands by crown grunts, began, with the approval and encouragement of the English Govern ment, to organize a counter-association. In pursuance of this the Loyal Orange Association was formed, entirely com posed of Protestants who were sworn to yield the most unquestioning and un swearing allegiance to the Crown of England. Its professed objects were to keep up the union between England and Ireland, to maintain the Protestant succession, Sc. ; and its chief business was to parade annually with orange colors on the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. These parades were purposely made Insulting and exciting. Banners calcu lated to provoke hostility were borne, and the cry of "to hell with the Pope" rung out from the ranks. Tunes set to songs, with insulting words, such as " Boyne \Wirer " and " Croppies Lie Down" were played, "Croppy" being a name given to the Irish rebels who at one time cropped the hair close so that they might be able to recognize each other. The Orangemen in addition to the cry of "to hell with the Pope" had two set toasts which they drunk, the one benedictive, "to the glorious, pious and immortal memory of the great and gallant Ring William I I I," and one imprecatory, hoping every papist and every traitor to the Orange Society "may he damned, crammed and rammed into the great gun of Athlone." The effect of parades Cl/ conducted 1111011 rt quick-tempered mid sensitive people like the Irish, may readily be imagined. Whenever there was any thing like an equality between the par ties riots were censor to occu r. Year after year the battle of the Boyne was fought over again, and these contests frequent ly resulted in serious loss of life. l'hey culminated in a regular battle at Belfast, Where armed men waged war Mr three days, while the city was given op to all the horrors of an Internecine strife, houses being wrecked and the churches and schools of the contending factious being burned by each other. This led to the passage of the " Party Procession Act," which made it illegal for any body of men to march In procession wearing party colors anti playing party tunes. Among tunes prohibited by tills act of Parliament are "'Pile Boyne Water," "The Protestant Boys," and " Crimples Lie Down." 'Phut put an end to the Orange processions in the hold where they originated, and a very wise net of Parliament was that which did no. Thu very tirat attempt which was made in thls mull try to celebrate the L2th of July, led to a riot in the city of Now York. On the anniversary of the bat tle of the Iloyne,lSffi, a body of Orange men appeared in the street, tinned with clubs and axe-handlem, calling upon the " cropples" to mine out. The result was a acrious breach of the peace, and the ring-leaders of the Orange party wore tried and convicted for inciting ; to a riot. Last year a very serious riot oc curred, and this year both parties have been openly making preparations for a more extensive contest. The action taken by the New York authoritlee will be found elsewhere. IL will be seen that tiovernor Hoffman promptly re voked the order given by the Chief of Police. In tiO doing he acted in accord ance with the predominant sentiment In this country which favors the hug cot liberty of action. But It Is a pitiable sight to see foreign feuds revived hi this , country. They ought all to be left behind as soon as the emigrant sets, foot on American soil. The difficulties which have occurred in New York will call the attention of our State Legislatures to the clangers which are attendant upon partisan processions in cities ; and it is to be hoped that some general law, applicable to all such parades will he adopted in all the States. ThUli g will a serious source of annoyance,and one cause of danger . be removed, without interfere ce with the right of auy party or any serious en croachment upon the privileges belong ing to the individual citizen. Radical ,Extravagance in l'lttsburg6 Every city in which the Republican party has control is being rapidly plung ed Into a vortex of debt. We alluded to Philadelphia a day or two since. Pitts burgh is no better ofl: Corrupt and ex travagant rings have control of all the departments and jobbery, and plunder ing is the order of the day. There, as in Philadelphia and Lancaster, the city is so districted that the Radicals have se cure control of the City Councils, and the result is that the Rings pay little re gard to the public interests, and devote much attention to schemes and devices for filling their capacious,poekets. The government of New York City is much pore economically administered in pro portion, than either that of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Senator Duncan We are sorry to learn from Dr. Metz ger, who has just returned from the bed side of Hon, C. M. Duncan, State Sena tor from the Franklin County District, that the Senator is very dangerously ill with brain fever. We hope he may re cover, though the chances seem to be against him. TILE Radicals of Florida follow the example of their friendi of Alabama and New York in quarreling about the offices. Senator Osborn has come all the way to Long Branch to convince the President that the way to "settle the Republican differences," is to appoint only his friends to be postmasters and collectors. .10 4. V • I , ' N 9 - 19, 1871. The Revival of Know•No{htnglem. Republican newspapers are very busily engaged just now in a despicable attempt to array the American people in a religious controversy. Some of the more sagacious speak cautiously and with bated breath, fearing the effect of a reaction, but many display less re serve and are freely bandying about the opprobious epithets of Know-Nothing ism. The Pope is alluded to in terms of hate, and the whole body of the Catholic Church is denounced as if it were re sponsible for the disturbances which took place in New York city. The facts of history and the occurrences of the day are alike misrepresented. The feud between the Orangemen and other Irishmen is spoken of as purely a re ligious quarrel, when the truth is that it Is no such thing. The Orangemen are principally members of the Epis copal Church, and they hold to that denomination because it is the estab lished church of England. Dissenting Irish Protestants are sometimes found in Orange lodges, but their sympathies are chiefly with those of their countrymen who mourn over the subjugation of their native island by England. Many of the martyrs to Irish liberty were Protestants, and their followers never concerned themselves about questions of religious belief. Side by side Catho lics and Presbytei ians stood up for the independence of Ireland, and side by side they died In the sacred struggle fur liberty. The animosity toward the Or angemen is the bitter hate of a subjuga ted race toward those of their own coun trymen, who lent aid and comfort to an invading conqueror. True it is that the bulk of the Irish peasantry are Cathol ics, but «pially true is it that the old time quarrel which resulted in so much bloodshed In New York is nut a relig ious one. Radical newspapers will utterly fail iu theirattempt to make political capital out of this miserable feud between two classes of Irishmen. The cry against Popery has been echoed and re-echoed from Protestant pulpits ever since this nation had a beginning. When the war broke out between France and Prussia, every preacher who felt op pressed by his barrenness of ideas, took up the cry that the war was one be tween Protestantism and Catholicism, and we were forced to listen to several tirades of that character. Nearly every loan In the country who was silly enough to be influenced by a cry against Popery, left the Democratic party in the days of Know-Nothluglsm, and those who had not sense enough to become heartily ashamed of themselves and Elton ughly disgusted with shch an or ganization remain iu the ranks of the Republican party to this day. Thd Democratic party is the cham pion t)( no religious creed. With the broadest charity it insists that every man In this country shall be equally free to worship (lad according to the dictates of his own conscience ; and, should any one dare to molest another, or attempt to make him afraid, it is ready to protect him If it takes all the power of the State to do so. The Dem ocratic (iovernors of New York and New Jersey, only acted out the princi ples tpf the Democratic party when they summoned the civil and military au thorities of their respective States, to protect a handful of Orangemen in a display which is obnoxious to the bulk of their countrymen, and in the com memoration of an event In which no American citizen can feel any interest. The question of the right of free assem blage was involved, and no Democratic tovernor was ever known to bate one jot or title of that great popular right. Republivan politiciamt are welcome to all they can make out of a revival of the know Nothing spirit and 0 resurrection of Know -Nothing lodges. Intelligent native-American citizens must become disgusted with such demagoguery, and foreign-born citizens of all classes and creeds will see in the spirit which 49 manifested, a standing menace againgt their acquired rights. There still lurks in the Republican party much of that vindictive spirit which gave birth to the meanest and the Most corrupt polit ical organization that ever disgraced any free country. The leaders of Know- Nothingism are all Radical politicians to-day; anti their hearts are full of hatred toward those whom they once denounc ed. The recant events in New York have developed the old feeling, and now circulars are being spread all over the country and a persistent effort is be. Ing made to revive K now-Nothing ism. For a time Catholics alone :nay be proscribed, but It will not be long before the whole code of the de funct party will be adopted If there Is the slightest show of 14110e(M. Let Prot estant foreigners remember how they were reviled and proscribed by the same men Who now control the Repub lican party. The old serpent may put on a new akin but IL will be the same venemous reptile still. Thu Democratic party Is the only party of liberal Ideas In this country. It knows neither creed nor class. It wel comes every hintest man who conies to Ilnd a home here to all the rights of American citizenship. It asks not what may be Ills nationality, and never In quires as to his religious belief. It only demands that he shall cease to be Eng lish, Irish, French, Ilerman, or what nut, nod become in deed and in truth an American citizen. Having made him that It gives to him the fullest rights and stands ever ready to protect him In their freest exercise. Again we repeal that the Republican party Is welcome to all the political capital It can make out of this attempt to revive Kilo w- Nothlngism. The ehiurt will recoil upon It with terrible ellitet, and,'lnstead of propping up Its falling political for , tunes, will only hasten the coming of Its deserved destruction. The Campaign In Ohio Letters received In Washington from active Democrats in Ohio, state that the present campaign will be one of the most active and vigorous ever made by the Bemocracy against their opponents. The organization for stumping the Stale is thorough, over two hundred meetings having already been appointed. These meetings will be addressed by such or ators as Thurman, Ewing, Pendleton, Morgan and McCook, the candidate for Oovernot. The county and township organizations are being made more per fect than ever they were before, and nothing will be left undone by the no ble Democracy of the Buckeye State to redeem it from Radical misrule. We shall probably have a quieter canvas In the State of Pennsylvania, Bute will certainly carry this - State by a large majority if a full Democratic vote is polled. We can only be beaten by in excusable apathy in our ranks. Should Ohio and Pennsylvania go Democratic this year, the Presidential election will be decided in advance. Let that reflec tion nerve every Democrat for the con test. LIEUTENANT GRANT, son of Ulysses S. Grant, who has just graduated at West Point, has some idea of abandon ing the army and taking a position as Civil Engineer on the Union Pacific Railroad. The fact that his father is President of the United States will ena ble the youth to command a very big salary. The road has favors to ask, and the son of Ulysses will be a good hand to engineer them through. Thus is an other of the royal family provided for after being educated at the public ex pense. THE Radicals of New Mexico are di vided. One faction refuses to support Colonel Chaves, the candidate for dele gate to Congress, and propose to run Major Jose de Sena, who was a candi date in the Convention. The result will probably be the election of the Demo cratic candidate, Mr. Jose M. Gallegos. I Full Tote and Victory. A full poll of the Democratic vote in October will insure the election of Mc- Candiess and Cooper by a largemajority. There is not an intelligent Republican in the State who will not admit that, and not a well-informed Democrat who does not know the truth of what we say. This is one of the off-years in politics, and both parties In Pennsylvania are likely to suffer from the apathy of their adherents. We believe that a large ma jority of the Democrats of this State are alive to the importance of the coming election. They feel and know that the preliminary struggle for the next Pres idency will take place in this State this year. If the Radicals are beaten in Oc tober, as they can be and ought to be, the Democracy of the Keystone State will go into the contest next year with an energy and a vigor that will insure them victory. We can certainly elect our gallant candidates for Auditor and Surveyor- General. Everywhere their nomina tion has met with a favorable response. The volunteer soldiery of Pennsylva nia will support McCandless and Cooper. Their splendid military records have made their names familiar as household words, not only to the Pennsylvania Reserves, but to the majority of those who donned the blue. The soldiers of the State are ready to unite with us in an effort to redeem the State from the clutches of the Caineronian ring. McCandless and Cooper have all the qualities which are calculated to com mend them to the support of the people of Pennsylvania. Their lives have been pure and Irreproachable, they are men of flue abilities, they are perfectly hon est, they belong to no corrupt rings, they would administer their offices in the interests of the 'ample and not for the benefit of the corrupt ring which has seized upon the State Treasury. If Republican tax-payers are wise they will discard politics and vole for Me- Candless and Cooper. We will receive substantial aid in the present Foulest front many men who have heretofote voted the Republican ticket, but we need nut rely upon such welcome allies for success. With the Democracy it rests to say whether the State shall be redeemed or not. A full Poll of our vole is certain victory. We cannot repeat that too often, or impress it too strongly upon the minds or the masses of the party. Let every Demo crat remember it, and let each one im press the idea upon the mind of his neigh burs. There must I no laggards at the coming election. The lukewarm must be aroused, the indifferent must he ex cited to action, the careless must be im pressed with the great importance of the coming election. The absence of three or four Democrats iu each election dis trict will make a difference of thousands in the popular vote of the State. The probabilities are that the canvass will not be one of great excitement.— Perhaps it is just as well that it should be so. What is - Treeded to insure success is careful organization in the election districts and a full pull of the Demo cratic vote. With that victory is ours, without it we may lose the moral effect which would result from a triumph in October. Let every Democrat deter mine to do his share of hobo -work and all will be well. The Right Doctrine The late Democratic Convention of Kentucky, which represented nearly all the white people of that State, adopted a declaration of principles, which de clares, among other Democratic doc trines, that the Democrat ic party of the State pledges itself to put down all in fractions of the law, whether ICti-Klux or otherwise, by the power of the State Courts and the stern administration of the State laws. 'Fhis is the legitimate and only Constitutional method by which such olfenses can he dealt with. The States have always been competent to do this in the past, and can he trusted for the future. The position assumed by the Democrats of Kentucky on this subject illustrates what has al ways been nmni fest to unprejudiced inen, that all parties in the South con demn lawlessness, by whomsoever com mitted, and are ready to put it down, without need of Federal Intervention. AT the meeting of the Democratic County Committee, It. It. Tshudy, Esq., resigned the position of Chairman, and Dr. Henry Carpenter was chosen to till the vacancy. A resolution of thanks to Mr. Tsitudy for the efficient manner In which he discharged the duties of Chair man was unanimously adopted. The Chairman wits instructed to call the next meeting of the c.ineot tee at such time as he might deem expedient. The following resolution reiathig to the city was adopted Pcsoitsf, 'flute the mouthors or this mittoo, from the dill'oront NN'ards ~r Lilo City, ho diroctod t request the itiomitorm Lilo City Exvoutivo Uommittoo to moot titian In vonsulitttion, in order to adopt mutt/ mires tor it more thorough orgatil.Lit tioll of the party in the City, and thorohy soeuro vottipielo harmony mid sureuss in the next inuilleipal oloetion. Crops In the south, An immense breadth of corn luLs been planted In tile South, and It Is expected that section will raise enough of that staple for holm; consumption this year. The statements received lathe Agricul tural ilureau concerning the cotton prop do not Justify any (!N petqat lon or a more favorable prospect Unit' at the last re port. The returns are nearly or quite all In, and a comparative statement will be forthcoming ahnomt immediately. In many of theseetions ordinarily yielding large 'crops the crop Is seriously choked Up with grass; in other sections there Is slight Improvement; while, In other portions of the South, the stand Is infe rior, the stalks being weak and back ward. Altogether, It may be set down that there Is no Improvement in the prospect. THE Ku-Klux Investigating Commit tee has concluded to adjourn at the end of this week. A muss of testimony has been collected, but it is not satisfac tory to Radical politicians. The gener al tenor of it is to the effect that the Southern Stales are peaceable, that the late rebels are well-disposed toward the Federal tioverninent, and that crimes are not more frequent in that section than they are in the North. What was in tended to damage the Democratic party has acted the part of an Australian 'boomerang and recoiled upon the in ventors. Silas M. Clark, Esg The Democracy of the Tenth Judicial District, coMposed of the counties of Armstrong, Indiana and West moreland have nominated Silas M. Clark, Esg.• , as their candidate for President Judge of that District. Mr. Clark is one of the ablest lawyers in the State, with an in tellect which is admirably fitted for the discharge of Judicial duties. He re ceived a very flattering support in the Convention which nominated Cyrus L. Pershing for Judge of the Supreme Court. Mr. Clark is in all respects such a man as the people of any part of Pennsylvania might rejoice to see on the bench. We expect to see him elected. THE Democratic newspapers which decline to endorse the Ninth Resolution are nevertheless working most energeti cally to insure the election of McCand less rind Cooper. The Perry County Democrat comes to us this week with its columns full of ringing appeals to its readers. It denounces Radicalism in fitting terms, and promises that gallant little Perry will give a good .account of itself in October. The Perry County Democrat is one of the most vigorous of our country exchanges, and Its influ ence for good is felt wherever it circu lates. The Prohibition Party. The Temperance men of Pennsylva nia have boldly entered the political field with a new party, organized for an aggressive campaign. True the meeting of the Executive Committee was rather slimly attended, only eleven out of thirty-three members being present; and true it also is that nearly one-half of the eleven were disposed to shiver on the brink of the new departure; but Brothers Black and Rauch fearlessly plunged in, and a majority of the eleven followed. History has frequently shown that the day of small things is not to be despised ; there is no mere striking par able in the Bible than that of the dimin utive mustard-seed ; and every Ameri can school-boy has declaimed, "Tall oaks from little acorns grow." There is nothing more to be admired in political life than boldness in defense of great principles. The men who make their mark in the representative gov ernments are those who are distin guished for strong wills and concomi tant force of character. Who that knows Brother Black will doubt his devotion to the cause of Temperance; who that is familiar with the career of Brother Rauch will deny that he is bold even to brazenness. To these citizens of the great county of Lancaster the Temper ance men of Pennsylvania are largely indebted fur their emancipation front the thraldom of political parties, which lack the backbone that is needed to make successful warfare in favor of prohibitory liquor law. Brother Black has hetetofore steadily voted with the Republican party, and Brother Rauch, being equally Radical, has advocated the election to office of drunkards and enemies of the Temper ance cause. If we are to believe in their wordsand to make inferences front their actions, these brethren are tired of being bound tai the dead body of a po litical organization, which, with all its Professions of morality, lots shown a lamentable lack of backbone. They have cut loose from their former associ 'ales, and have boldly launched their Temperance bark on the tempestuous sea of Independent political action.— With what hopes it may be freighted we know uot. We have long had a sus picion 'that Brother Black is haunted by an insane idea that he will some day be made Governor of the Keystone Salle, through the agency of the Tem perance Men, and we are sure that Brother Rauch would not be particular about the position he might be called to occupy—provided It proves to be a paying one. In a short time a convention will meet in, Harrisburg to nominate Tem perance candidates for Auditor and purveyor-General, and arrangements are to be made at once for the setting up of Temperance tickets in every county in the State. All the machinery of a regularly organized political party has been prepared fur the Temperance men by brothers Black and Rauch, and we skull expect to see them conduct their first campaign with great vigor. They mustmake their work in the beginning. If they fail to do so they cannot reason ably hope for success in the future. They must at least poll such a vote for their candidates as will show that they hold the balance of power in the State. If they back down or fail to make a decent show at the polls, their boat will be swamped, and all theirpolitical hopes will be forever burrieo in a treacherous sea. In a Quandary We find the following in the editorial colutus of the last 1,-sue of the Lancas ter Inquirct : While quite a number of Democratic journals are busy in denying t ha t such a thing as Ku-Klux outrages are committed in the South, the luntgoincry, A labsina, 'Stale .I(purnal says : " We believe, and have good reason for so doing, that there are certain counties in Alabama where no Republican can live in safety." The Joarmat is n DEMlllentlile paper. Will not some of our Northern Democratic papers please take make? lan them try :cud sue if an honest confession will net do them some good. Now, mark how easily that falsehood is refuted. On page MS of Rowell's Afacriccan Arwspaprr Dircelmw the Montgomery Alabama Shifr duarfird boastingly advertises itself as Itepubli- CEIII in polities, and t/c• nllicirtl arc/an nj Urdlrd ~ ; firer of Alubduw, City and (bunt!, ul Mont;luincry, and Elmorc Cuuntg.

We believe that every honest man Is safe In Alabama, no matter what hle political opinions aro." Wu had a controversy with the Ex press lo relation to that telegram which the editor of the Inquirer ought to have seen, and which he certainly would have remembered If he had seen It. The Exprcss either purposely suppressed or fulled to publish the item, and it had In the same issue or its paper an editorial relating to Alabama in which it under• took to prove that the life of a Northern man was not safe in that i- , .tate. When we cornered the Etptecs It did not un dertake to deny the authenticity of the telegram, and was reduced to Tillable devices to account for its non-appear ance. How the editor of the Inquirer will undertake to escape from the awk ward dilemma in which he has plunged himself we are anxious to see. In his own language we recommend him to "try and see Han honest confession will not do hint some good." Our Population At. last we have a corrected official es timate of the population of the United States. A telegram from Washington announces that the latest revised tables at the Census Office show the following aggregate population of all t4ie States and organized territories : White, 33,- 581,U50 ; colored, 4,879,32.3 ; Indians, 25,- 53 Japanese, 55; Chinese, 03,100 total, 38,540,987. We are inclined to think that this aggregate will disap point many of our people, who had "set their minds," on a round 40,000,000 as the profitable census exhibit of 1870. As it Is, we fall 1,500,000 short of the popu lar guess. This, however, is a popula tion just about equal to that of the united Empire of Germany, with all its gains Troru the wars with Denmark, Austria and France, and greater than that of any other civilized nation in the world; except Russia. GRANT seems to be determined to prove that the country can get along as well without him as with him. It is now authoritatively announced that he will not be in Washington until he re turns from his visit to the Pacific Coast. The people will elect a President to suc ceed Grant who will do something else than draw his salary, take presents, ap point members of his family to office, and travel about the country as a first class dead-head. GEN. ELY S. PARKER, the Commis stoner of Indian Affairs, has resigned, and the President has accepted his re signation. No person has yet been ap— pointed to fill the intently. The Action or the Radical County Com- The action of the Republican County Committee in refusing to accept the law which was passed at the last session of the Leg.slature, requiring the officers who conduct Primary Elections to be sworn, was well calculated to excite very grave suspicions. As was truly said and forcibly urged by Captain Rennes and other moderate members there could be no reasonable objection to throwing every possible safeguard around such elections. The men who opposed the application of the law laid themselves liable to the suspicion that they were not averse to the perpetration of frauds. It has heretofore been openly declared in advance of the Primary Elections that the candidates who secured the election officers in certain districts were sure of the count, no matter how the ballots might read. The Express declared in favor of the acceptance of the law be fore the Committee met, aria it has suf ficient independence to express itsopin ion of the action which was taken. It does not mince matters, but speaks out very plainly in the following vigorous language: The action of the Republican County Comm ittee surprises those who were famil iar with the animas of a majority of that body. And yet we must confess that we were not prepared to believe that any two members of a body of men claiming to be the representatives of a respectable constit uency would be prepared to disgrace themselves and their party as was done by the members from the Third Ward, Co lumbia, and the Second Ward, Lancaster. The conduct of the one was simply that of the lowest order of a ward politician, de based by a condition of idiotic drunken ness, while that of the other was charac teristic of the ill-bred blackguard. uttering language so profane that our reporter de (dined to shock the moral sense of our readers by printing his Indecent vaporing's. The man who will so far forget the decency of the occasion, as to stand up in a public meeting and denounce men infinitely bet ter than himself with profane expletives, Is not lit to.,associate with, much less represent, decent men, and by his conduct yesterday, Mr. Barr has fastened a stigma upon the Republicans of the Second Ward which can be removed only by his replace ment with a man who has some regard for public decency. IL is now evident to those of the dullest comprehension that the controlling spirits of the Republican Comity Committee do not desire and do not intend, if they can prevent it, to have a fair and honest Pri mary Election. The pretext that the now primary law is an inch l t to the Republicans of Lancaster county is as shallow as the Manta from which it emanates. The merest tyro in such twitters knows very well that the law was framed not to insult but to protect hottest voters from the frauds of dishonest politicians, who rely upon fraud to accomplish that which they are power less to accomplish by an honest canvass before the people. Soule of the men who wore most active in opposing the accept ance of the new law, make no disguise of the fact that their friends have been "counted "and their opponents "count ed out" in times past; and the fear that this could not be done under the new law is simply the secret of their hostility to it. As matters now stand, it is a serious question for every honest Republican to determine whether he should take any part In an election which is to be engineered by such spirits as showed their hands in the County Committee on Monday last. Nom inations effected by fraud are not binding upon the conscience of any honest man, and the sooner our ballot-box stutters and return tinkers are wade to realize this fact, the sooner will the Republican party be restored to a healthy condition. If what Dr. Gatchell so unblushingly declared be true, that " If there ore townships where cheat ing has heretofore been done, it will be done again, though you should pile up oaths as high as the Court House," it is abOut time that the party be purified, even though it have to pass through an ordeal as of lire. The Judgeship The ErpresB publishes in Its editorial columns the following judicious and timely article upon the Judgeship. Its remarks are well worthy the considera tion of every intelligent and conscien tious voter in Lancaster county, with out respect to party. We are, therefore, pleased to transfer the article to our columns, and we commend it to the careful perusal of every reader of the I M1.:1,m G EN( nit. The Erpreos says : By far the most Important question that the Republicans of Lancaster county will have to consider and determine at the en suing primary election, will be the choice of a candidate for President Judge, in place of lion. 11. ii.

So importantdo wo consider this office, that in whatever course we maypur sue, we shall not feel ourselves bound, as the crwiluctors of a Journal published in the interests of the people, to be influenced or controlled by the action of any friction, nor even by the obligations of personal friendship. We want to see that high office tilled by the very best man who can he found for the place; and if the trading pol iticians who aro now !morning the war agernent of our primary elections do not permit such a fair expression of the popu lar will as will insure us such a candidate, and one who will be free from the OM bar rasming alliances which aro found among candidates for the various offices., we shall he prepared to unite with the good and in dependent men of the party in rebuking any nomination "not tit to be made," or nine made In an unlit manner.

The Narrow-Gouge Railroad The survey of the proposed Narrow- Gauge Railroad from Safe Harbor to Reading has been completed by Col. Arms, and subscription books will soon be opened at different points along the line. The farmers along the route are disposed to look upon this en terprise as one especially calculated to benefit them. They 'know that their lands will be materially enhanced in value by its construction and are dis posed to grant the right of way without asking any compensation therefor. The prevalence of such a spirit will not only insure the early completion of the road, but will enable it to be built at a price which will make thestock the best kind of a paying investment from the start. Farmers and others along the 'route are ready to subscribe liberally to the stock. We regard the early completion of this road as being now a fixed fact, and we are sure that those who invest money in it, will never regret having done so. BOWEN sent a messenger to his sec ond wife when he was arrested for big amy, with the request that she would make some arrangement. She spurned the messenger from her door, and a forged certificate of divorce from her was then prepared and produced in court.

BUTLER has announced that he intends to be a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts. The announcement will fan to a fiercer heat the bitter feud that now exists among the Republicans of that State.

The Chattanooga Tima re-publishes an extract from the Washington corres pondence of the New York Tribarte, in which Mr. Davis is charged with say ing to a despondent friend in Chatta nooga: "Never mind, my dear Colonel, it will all come out right. We have recovered a portion of our ground. At the next elec tion Ave will get back every Southern-State Legislature. We can impeach the Radical Governors, and I assure you that if I live I fully expect to be, within five years, re instated as President of the Southern Con federacy." The correspondent goes on to say "The person from whom this statement comes is credited with being thoroughly trustworthy. There is little doubt that Jeff Davis did utter words, in substance, such as are given above, at the time and on the occasion indicated." The gentleman alluded to denies the statement flatly, and denounces it as a malicious and wilful falsehood. We re-publish the above extracts, merely to show to what contemptible means the New York Tribune resorts, for the purpose of preserving the only bond that holds the Republican party together—that of animosity to the South. So long as it can be whipped-in, and hounded-on, with the cries of "rebel" and "traitor," the Radical party may hold together. This the Tribune fully understands, and this Is the secret of Its political course. The Radical party born in intolerance and nursed in sec tional hatred, feels that It can only maintain itself by exciting base pas sions. So far it has sought to do this by inventing falsehood after falsehood against the South. It vilifies Mr. Da vis as It manufactures lies about the Ku-Klux, for the purpose of keeping alive prejudices which will binil people to truth and right. Fearful that It may nut succeed, it seems that it is about to add to Its infamy by introducing re ligious strife into the arenaof politics. A Plot to Murder E. R. Rauch The Easton FtLe Foss reports that a plot has been discovered, having fur its object the murder of our fellow-citizen. E. If. Rauch, editor of the Keystone (lood Templar. No particulars are given, and we are left to indulge in conjecture as to who the would-be mur derers are and what is the cause of their animosity. We do sincerely hope that the rumor may prove to be unfounded. If the editor of the Pict: Press has any grounds for the allegation he makes, if he is not indulging in a very grim joke, it is Ills bounden duty to lay bare the diabolical plot,iu order that the dastardly villians maybe seized and punished us they deserve to be. Brother Rauch is recognized as one of the leaders of the new Temperance party, and it may be that Radical politicians have conspired to make way with him. There are in the ranks of the Republican party of this State, plenty of desperadoes who would not hesitate to pistol or poignard any man who might interfere in anyway with what they regaid as their inaliena ble right to•plunder the taxpayers of the State and of the dilrerent counlies in which they reside. If there be a plot to murder Rauch, the life of Brother Black may also be in danger. 'l•he case is one which ought to commend itself to the attention of our young and vigorous city government. Let the smartest of our police be detailed as special detec tives to work up the plot. The life of Pit Schwellelbrenner must be saved if possible. Fu HS I•:\ has had a correspondent traveling through South Carolina for some time, his businesss being to hunt up material for Ilring the Radical heart He has finally been compelled to tell a little Utah, and in his last letter to the PreBB, he writes as follows: " I begin to believe that amnesty, very general, and exempting from its provisions only Jefferson Davis and a half-dozen similar leaders, would be a wise measure It will relnoVO all excuse from this people for all their animosity against the United States (;overnment, and any and all Justi fication for these outrages," (ire.

OCEAN Houss, NEWPoin R. 1., / July 8, IEI7I. 5 The magnificent steamers of the Fall River line sail from New York for New port and Tall River every evening at live o'clock, and at this season aro filled to re pletion with those leaving the stifling at mosphere of the city for the ocean and mountain breezes of the East and North.' The'" Providence " and " Bristol," the two regular steamers of the Fall River line are not excelled in their luxurious accommo dations by any steamboats in the world, as might be inferred from the fact that they 'are run under the auspices of that magni ficent nondescript, Commodore James Fisk, Jr., a celebrated ornament of the Rogue's Gallery, who conducts all his en terprises on the same grand scale, upon which he does his stealing. A fine brass band regularly attached to the vessel en livened with its music our triumphal pro gress up the sound. Our officers in naval uniform conducted us safely through the foggy night, and we had everything on board which the heart of man could desire, except pretty women, who were not to be seen. Fisk, Jr., believes in the " new de parture," and on the negro question accepts the situation ; we had a number of dusky passengers who enjoyed equal privileges with the white folks, and moved along the salons serenely enjoying their equality. Newport is a city of magnificent Sum mer residences, which aro styled cottages, but many of them aro In reality pa aces.— There aro two or Giro) large and excellent hotels here, but hotel life is nut the feature of the place. In this it differs front every other Summer. resort that we know of Generally the private cottages are subsidi ary to the hotels, the latter engrossing the mass of tho visitors, who constitute the society of the place. People go to Newport to enjoy its cool atmosphere and to remain during the Summer. They consequently move their establishments there, and have made it fashionable to live in cottages rather than in hotels. There are very many handsome equipages constantly traversing the avenues, driving being the I.i . reat recre ation ot the place. The drivers and foot men are got tip in " killing" l 'style, and it was very amusing to us to watch them in their well-drilled evolutions.— They hold up their whips at a precise angle and fold their arms across their breasts in a style of most unvarying monot ony. They wear black silk hats with wide bands; lance breeches and yellow topped boots; brown cloth coats with big silver buttons. The ladies drive themselves a great deal in pony basket, carriages, carry ing their footmen behind them and hand ling the lines and whips over their pairs of handsome horses with great grace and dexterity. Beautiful women are, however, lamentably scarce, and pretty 0110,1 nearly equally so.

Have our Jutlgum become alder, 11111'01 . , or !nor° tllgulllutl than they wore or yore?

The fact that the Judges mentioned, and others that could be added, served the people well and faithfully for half the present salaries, is nozzle evidence at least that learning and experience did not demand increased Coln palmation at the hands of the people's agents. The office of Law .11.1 co never went begging even among good and very competent lawyers. If the old salaries were formerly Wu little, is nut the danger that is now looking us in the face that of going to the opposite extreme? The tax payers may get it into their heads, after a ••bile, to give the pendulum a swing in the other direction just as far as it has been moved from the true centre. Salary alone will not bring out the proper material fur the Judgeship. The difficulties in the way of competent selections, lie in an entirely different direction. I might name them, but I forbear for the present. Nor will a heavy salary, as some suppose, insure hon esty ; for, if a Judge is disposed to be owned by ono of the many big corporations that now unfortunately control the country, maillier four nor seven thousand dollars will prevent it. One of the great en ors lies In regarding great professional success at the bar, as an indispensable ingredient In the make-up of a good Judge. Such Is not the case. Erskine, unequalled as a lawyer failed on the Bench, and many similar in stances might he named. history rather would demonstrate the reverse proposition. There are many good reasons why law yers, who have a very lucrative practice, do not care to accept the office of Judge, outside of moneyed considerations; and there are many more reasons why lawyers, with but half their practice, make much bettor Judges. Smaller salaries will bring snore lawyers, and fewer politicians on the Bench, and herein may be one of the secrets of the-con stant and uncalled for increase, for while the salary of a Judge is generally equal to the Income of a lawyer in good practice, it Is seldom equal to the income of a trading politician. I doubt much whether, If the salary were only twenty-live hundred or three thou sand dollars a year, the people of Lancaster county would be forced to witness the hu miliating spectacle of Seeing candidates for the Benchbutton-holing nearly every one they meet, and resorting to all kinds of high electioneering and low engineering.

ME) Superintendent has been applied to by the Grand Master of the orange Lodges in the United States to give police -support to a celebration by a procession (through the principal streets and avenues 01 the city of New York, on the lah inst.), in honor of the Battle of the Boyne, and the surrender which was the consequenee. These several commemorative victories on the soil or Ireland by one English Bing over another one, nearly two centuries ago, engendered national differences svhjeh have descended flow generation to genera tion with increasing acrimony ; and large bodies of citizens participating iu these feelings form parts of our community.

And upon a closest, survey the Superintendent is convinced that if the proposed procession forms or moves with its banners and traditional music, unlit' many unthinking, rash, and hot-headed sliectators who RIO not in sympathy' with the foreign feuds which the procession is intended to glorify, then the whole police, land perhaps nnodh of the military force of the city might Lis required to protect the procession, and large sections or the city most needing watching would be left if ally procession (or occupation by marellieg order of the streets) were a Mat ter of right, or could legally demand pro tection, then it should, at all hazards, re ceive escort, and guard; because the au thorities never should allow that whirl, is matter of right to the populace to be over lawlessly overawed. lint legal decisions have settled that occupation tit' sin tits by processions is a users matter of usage or toleration, and is always subject to police regulation mud supervision. 'file surren der of tluroughtieres to largo organized bodies of 111011 necessarily interferes with the individual rights or other citizens, and those thus engaged tire, in the language of the law, permissible trespassers. 'rho tol eration of processions by citizens and au thorities is perhaps due to tine find, that street meetings anti parades always repre sent some sentiment or occasion not at all calculated to provoke hot blood. 111 every subject matter (or police discretiointry perinis•ion, the iucouvcnicuce of Lim few ought. to be surrendered to the widest se curity for the property and person it the greatest number of citizens. And at all times the pollee should prevent occasions Oar tlisorder rather than wait to regulate or suppress it. IL is very clear that, if any tine individual should undertake by him self to produce all occasion of irriUition and excitement to others in the community, he would not be, in such nn act, entitled to police protection, And surely, what may not bo done by one individual ought not to be attempt,l by the organized many, when the aggravation would be so much 1110 greater.

I could suggest ninny occasions for cele brating even American events which would result inevitably in producing, public ill feeling and inviting public disorder. Sup pose, for instance, that a considerable num ber of New York residents of Southern birth should propose to celebrate the battle of Bull Run that occurred in this month, and should by means of banners and mu sic succeeded in arousing the bad temper of the hundreds of thousands who not only could never sympathize with the event, but under much personal, sectional, or nation al feeling, deplore It; or suppose that, in view of recent events that have occurred inn Europe, a body of French adopted citizens, furnished with banners and musiedistaste ful in sight and sound to citizens of Ger man birth, should march through sections of our city that are inhabited by the latter? I content myself at present with simply submitting to you these very general con siderations, and with asking you whether it would not be more politic for you anti your friends to forego any popular or pub lic demonstration of the event to which you and they attach so much importance. Very truly yours, . • A. OAKEY MALL, • Mayor of the City of New York. • In'the evening Governor Hoffman ar rived in the city, when the order of the Chief of Pollee was revoked and the follow ing proclamation Issued: To the People of New York City :- Having been only this day apprized, while at the Capital, of the actual condition of things here, with reference to proposed processions to-morrow, and having a be-• lief that my presence was needed, repaired hero immediately.

From time to time the police in front would be compelled to make a charge to clear the way, and at these times a slight pause in the march of the Orangemen and military became necessary. Ninth a stop• stoppage occurred when the line reached Twenty. thl rd street, and while Lee !IMMO: vd police were clearing the space at the junction of Eighth avenue and 'l'wenty third street, for a wheel into the latter tow • and I•'uth astatine. TM:column halted when the head 01 the Orangemen was near Twenty thurth street, with the Twenty-setsmd and Eighty-fourth regiment stretching along un the right and left sides respectively, and to the rear nearly to:T wen ty-tifth street. Dur ing this halt, the crowd became demon faittiVe, jeering and jostling, and occasion ally throwing missiles into the line. I'Is• tots were freely shown, and one or two missiles came from the windows of the houses along the street. This excited the soldiers of the Eighty-fourth Regiment, who turned toward the sidewalk at the lett of them and tired, ono or two shots coming first front the right of the line, and then a volley from the whole regiment. The firing was low, and directly into the crowd on the sidewalk, distant less than ten feet front the soldiers, and its effects wore terrible. It is impossible now to state the number of killed and W01111(1- ell. The number of dead will probably reach twenty, and the wounded will, of course, be mars. The scene was frightful. Among the killed were two women, one ot• whom war carrying a wooden box tilled with paving stones. The other waist% young woman of respectable appearance. Three members of the Ninth (Colonel Fisk's) regiment aro bald to have been killed, among them Mr. IL C. Page, Treasurer of the Urand Opera House.
