A Full Vole Needed If we were sure that every Democrat in Pennsylvania had reflected properly upon his personal responsibility as a citizen and a voter, we should have no doubt about the result of the coining State election. If we were certain that there would be no laggards in our party on the second Tuesday of October, we would be certain that McCandless and Cooper would be elected by a majority of at least twenty thousand. All that is needed, to insure the overwhelming de - Mat of the candidates of the Cameron ian Treasury Ring,is a full poll of the Dem ocratic vote. Shall we have that? We shall, if every Democrat,who does feel the full importance of the coining electiomgoes to work to arouse the slug gish and to bring out those who might otherwise remain' at home. When Sharswood was elected Judge of the Su preme ('ourt, we constantly insisted that the Democracy could carry Penn sylvania with ease, if they polled their full vote. That was a season of depression, :uid we found it very diffi cult to convince our people that slice. ss was possible. Many thought it was not worth while to go to the polls. The re sult was that over a thousand Democrats failed to vole in Lancaster cow] ty. There Was a siMilar falling oil' in other parts or the State. Had the full Democratic vote been polled .1 udge Sharswood's ma jority would have been fifty thousand There 'oust. be no such lukewarm ness exhibited at the coming election. The Radicals will wake a desperate struggle to carry the Stale. They know how great will be the hilluence of a vic tory this year upon the Presidential election. The I )einocracy must put forth a vigorous ellbrt to Win. They have the greatest possible nwentives to du so, and we believe they will succeed in gaining a splendid victory. All that is necessary , to insure such a result is the Mil poll 01 our vole. Let every Demo crat renaunber,tliat impress it Upon lli minds of his neighbors. Negroes on the A uct lon Bloch ono of the most disgusting features connected with the Radical primary elections in this county was the mani pulation of the negro vote and the con duct of the sable suffragans. There are nearly three thousand negrous in Lan caster county, and they are chiefly cen h.:tilled ill a few localities. Certain sharp men among them profess to be able to sell their votes in a body, and it is said these ostensible leaders drove keen bargains with political aspirants. They approached every candidate, anti did not hesitate to make bargains with all whom they met. They would sell tonne candidate for District-Attorney in the morning and to another at night. - When the time for voting came the rank and tile were plied with liquor by white ainl black politicians, and a majority of them insisted upon being paid in cash for their ballots before depositing them. The result was that the defeated candidates, many or whom had paid for negro votes that they never got, were - louti in their de nunciations of their colored fellow-citi- It has come to pass that there is great demomalization among white Republi runs in Lancaster county. White farm ers who are well oil demand money wheMtsked to vote for a man at the primary elections under the Crawford t 'minty System, and hundreds of loose whiles follow 'the example which is thus net them. The de moralization among the white Re publicans of this county is terrible, but, it is admitted that the negroes are al most, universally mercenary. They were freely plied with money and whiskey during the contest for Congress the first year they had a vote, and they look upon the right of sulrrage as some thing to be sold an often as they man find a bidder for their ballots. 'The . moat of them would vote tile Demo cratic ticket us readily as a Radical one, it they were paid for so doing. It is this which constituted the gravest objection to the enfranchisement of the negroes, and the predictions of those who op posed it have been fully realized. In flu• days of slavery, When negroes were sold on the auction block, the man who bought them, owned them ; now the Radical politician who buys a negro is never sure that he owns hint until he sees him vol—it is the last piece of frac tional currency or the last drink Of hiskey that determines who will get the average Northern negroes' ballot. PREtil DENT GRANT 11110 deld hied to be present at the re-opening or a railroad in Canada, alleging as a reason, that it has not been customary for a President of the United Stales to leave the coun try during Ms term of office. There are certain other things which other Presi dents never did. They (lid not grow rich by accepting presents from office holders; they did not till lucrative ofli ves with their relations; they did not spend months in idleness at fashionable watering-places. 1 f Il runt had followed the example of his predecessors, the need not have been ashamed to make a brief visit to Canada. EVANS can not be found. lie has ab sconded or hidden himself, not so much because he believes himself to be in per sonal danger as to prevent an exposure of hisaccomplices. An exhibition of all the facts in connection with the collec tion of the war claims of the State would be very bad for the Republican party on the eve of a State election. It is safe to say that nothing of importance will be done in the case before the second Tues day of October. GRANT'S man Washburn, has been nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor of Wisconsin. Mr. Doo little will challenge hlm to take the stump and the campaign will be warm and vigorous. THE LANCASTER WEEKLY INTELLIGI-ENCER, WPIT)NESDAY . , SEPTEMBER 6, 1871. Political Corruption in Lancaster County. The corruption which prevails in the Republican party was never more clear ly exemplified than at the recent pri mary election in Lancaster county.— From the day when the County Com mittee decided against the law requir ing the election officers to he sworn, it seemed to be generally understood that frauds to any extent, that might be needed to carry out the designs of the Ring-masters would be perpetrated. The question was not who was the best man to fill any given office, but who was pre ferred by certain political hucksters; not who would poll most honest votes, but who would be "counted in." During the closing hours of the contest " the slate was fixed," and the combination was put through exactly as it had been "set up." How this was accomplished may be learned from the manner In which the returns from the Second Ward of Co lumbia were manipulated. Seventy negroes residing in that Ward swore they voted for John P. Weise for Prison Keeper, and ninety-five white men stood ready to swear that they voted the same way ; and yet Mr. Weise was re turned as having received only 82 votes, while Sensenig's candidate, John W. Mentzer, was credited with 189 votes.— If a correct return had been:made, the count, supposing the returns to be other wise correct, would have stood Weise ins, Mentzer and the other candidates together 108. It was further alleged, and a Justice of the Peace stated that he stood prepared to prove that one hun dred and ten voters put into the hands of the election officers certain `• short tickets," which did not contain the name of either Mentzer, (itchen or Hunsecker, and that but thirty-three such tickets were found in the box when the count was made; and further that one of the election officers put twenty tickets in the box at one time and forged names on the tally paper to represent them. These allegations-were formally made in such manner as to re quire a thorough investigation, but the committee appointed to look into the matter refused to hear testimony, and decided in a summary manner to re ceive the returns as made by the officers who had been charged with the perpe tration of gross frauds. The investiga tion was a nave, but the authors of the frauds, which had been so boldly com mitted, confessed their guilt when they stole the tally paper, in order to destroy a most positive witness against them. The manipulation of the ballots in the Second Ward of Columbia, shows the game which was no doubt largely prac tised elsewhere throughout different parts of the county. It proves the com plete demoralization of those who con trol the Republican' party of Lancaster county. It allbrds good ground for be lieving that Mentzer, tiateliell, Bun seeker, Burkholder, Brown and per haps other candidates, never received a fair majority of tile voles east. It shows such a state of demoralization as is fear ful to contemplate. The man who would cheat at a primary election, when put upon his honor, would not hesitate to stuff a ballot-box if acting as a sworn officer at a general election. Ile would only lie deterred by fear of being detected and sent to prison. We ask the people to look at the demor alization winch exists in the Republican party of Lancaster county. It is openly charged by the Exprcss that a purse of $12,000 WaS raised by the Ring, to carry out their designs in the last days of the week that preceded the election. Anx ious candidates,who could not raise the cash, gave their promissory notes for double the amount demanded as a price for their admission to the Ring. Well may the E.'pro..,• ask, how can a mem ber of the Assembly afford to pay $2,00f to secure his nomination when the salary is Only $1,7.'11 is no wonder the best men who ad been named as cantlidates for the Legislature were counted out.— They could not see how they could af ford to pay such sums for a nomina tion, but shrewd rascals could see it. The ticket settled at the recent Radical primary election is tainted with fraud, and, after such all exhibition of rascal ity, no Republican ought ever to speak of his party and of political honesty in the same breath. The organization is rotten Lo the core. It only lives in Pennsylvania to do the bidding of Si mon 7ameron, and to allbrd a horde of mercenary creatures an opportunity plunder the tax-payers. Clerks Coaling How to Vote. The tinily of clerks in Washington are making preparations to come home and vote. General Pox very properly de cided that tiny were not entitled to be laid for the time they might be absent on such an errand, but Clrant overruled him and all the employees of the gov ernment will get a holiday of two weeks or a mouth, and be paid for going home and voting a Radical ticket. This money all conies out of the pockets of the overburthened tax-payers. But there is another consideration connect ed with these migratory voters. Most of them have no doubt voted in Wash ington and forfeited their right to vote anywhere else. Let every one of them be promptly challenged and made to swear,wliether lie voted at \Vashington or not. Sonic of them only perjure themselves, but it is fair to presume that there are smile among them who would hesitate to swear falsely. Let them all be marked and made to comply with the requirement:4 of the election THE President, of the United Stales honored the City of Washington with a visit last Thursday. After a hasty breakfast lie was among the early and punctual visitors at the Treasury to re ceive his salary, it being pay-day. lie has now been absent exactly three months, commencing with the first of June, but proposes to remain away un til the beginning of October. During this time, he }Las drawn front the Treasury $6,250„ and has passed parts of three days in Washington, or at the rateuf one day per month, for which he has received the compensation of S2,IN: a day. In other words, (loners! rant, for signing his name during these rate visits, has pocketed the wages of fourteen hundred laboring men, who work ten hours and receive SI.A each. Sothat it is something to he President in a practical point of view, when the incumbent gets $25,000 a year for amus ing himself, and is presented with bonds, houses and horses to the extent of half a million. No wonder he seeks a re-election. 'Pity El:pre.; grows indignant over an item which appeared in the INTELLI f:ExcEn, in reference to a reported inter view between its chief editor and the Chief of the Thugs. It wants to know who said it would support Doctor Gat (Melt. We didn't. We merely declar ed that it was rumored that George Brubaker had discovered a means whereby its wrath against (Michell would be mollified. That is the report which is everywhere current in Radi cal circles, and theeditor of the ErpresB has no doubt heard it from other quar ters than through the iNTELLIGENCER. The Exptcss is expected to continue to rail against the Doctor, but it is also expected to oppose any effective means which may be suggested for the pur pose of defeating him. Time will tell whether madame rumor is a lying jade or not. THE Philadelphia .14;vening Bulletin has had a special cause of quarrel with Governor Geary for some time past, and it eagerly seized upon the Rvans frauds and published them in advance of rmy other newspaper. By so doing it Las drawn down upon itself the maledic tions of Radical leaders, and the Repub lican clubs in Philadelphia have passed resolutions reading it out of the party. The Bulletin takes it very coolly, and thinks it will survive all such assaults. The Deposition of the Deputy Attorney. Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Mc- Clure has been removed from office at the dictation of Governor Geary. The only crime committed by the deposed official, consisted in an exposure of the frauds of George 0. Evans. This is ad mitted to be the fact by Attorney-Gen eral Brewster, and his action places both Governor Geary and himself in the position of apologists for, and defenders of, the man who has been the instru ment, by means of which the State has been robbed of large sums of money.— Mr. McClure may consider himself hon ored in being dismissed from the ser vice of the Governor and his Attorney- General. His letter will be read by every intelligent voter In the State, and it will tell with damaging effect against both the ExecutiVe and the chief law officer of Pennsylvania. Governor Geary has sunk himself into an abyss of infamy by his connection with the frauds of Evans, and It will be impos sible for him to extricate himself. But there are others who are involved with him, and whom the people of Pennsylvania will hold to he partners with him in his crime. The Auditor- General and the State Treasurer can not escape condemnation. They must have known that Evans received large sums of money from time to time,which were never handed over to the State Treas ury. pn May Ist, 1871, Evans received a United States Treasury warrant on ac count of the State for $78,310.89; on the 28th of October, 1808, he was paid a sim ilar warrant, also for the State, for $10.5,- 051.10; and on the 27th of August, 1870, he was paid another such warrant for $130,840.00, making in all $321,014.11. These warrants were drawn to the order of John W. Geary, Governor of Penn sylvania, and they, or the proceeds of them, ought to have passed at once into the State Treasury. But they did not. They have never been paid to the State, and the collection of them was never even ollichilly reported until the Evans defalcation became the subject of common rumor. One long report in relation to the finances of the State after another has been issued over the signature of Auditor-( leneral liart rauft, and not a word or a figure has there been in any of them to show that this money was ever received by Evans. Row will the Auditor.fleneral and the State Treasurer account to the people for such gross neglect of duly ? Will the Auditor-General plead ignorance of these transactions? How can he do so when he must have known that Evans was engaged in making collections u claims due to the Slate? It is the duty of General Hartranft to call to a strict account all receivers of money due the Why was not Evans made to ccount for his transactions? These re questions which the Auditor-Gen- eral and the Mate Treasurer will he ex pected to answer in a satisfactory man ner, and, until they do so they will be held to he equally as guilty as Governor 0 ea ry ::otliing will satisfy the people ( 'ennsylvania in reference to this gigtu is swindle, except a complete invest .lion of the w hole 'natter. Should the candidate of the Cameronian Treasury Ring he elected AuditordJeneral, the chances are that there will be no thorougl examination into these Evans frauds If the people of Pennsylvania want the whole matter sifted to the bottom, let them vote for that honest man and gal lant soldier, General Win, McCandless. When he goes into the Auditor-6euer aPs office there will be a thorough over hauling of accounts, and no delay in bringing swindlers to answer at the bar of justice. The exposure of these Evans frauds furnishes the strongest possible argument in favor of the election of an Auditor-Gencral who will be a complete check upon the corrupt administration f tioveruor lieary ; and, as lieneral :McCandless is a brave soldier, a gentle man of marked ability, and a perfectly honest man, we may eNpeet many in telligent Republicans to vote for him. Slail•ltoutr Swindles The gravest charges have been [nude against Postmaster-floneral Cresswell, in relation to the letting of snail run tracts, and it has been very freely intimated that he has been a p:u•ly to swindles of the grossest and most out rageous character. 'l'lle latest instance cited is that of one Andrew Stewart, who some time ago obtained a contract from the Postmaster-General, amount ing to about $lO,OOO, lu carry the Uni ted States mails on Texan waters in a steamer a distance of about 90 miles. 1 t is now given out that the water men tioned is not deep enough to float a steamer between the two points, and that the mails are being transported in a sailing vessel, which could be pur chased for a small amount of money; that the master of the vessel has the use of the same for carrying the mails, and makes his pay out of passengers, freight, etc., while the contractor enjoys the benefits of the entire salary. It is stated that other parties bid to carry the mail over the same route in a sailing vessel, as it is now carried, for 'e take the facts in this case front a special telegram to the New York Tri bum:, and that is authority which no Republitam will presume to question. West Virginia When (Aber Democratic newspapers were conceding the defeat of the Consti tutional Convention in West Virginia we claimed that the official returns would tell a different story. We have fished and limited through that region, and we knew that the spirit of liberty which animates the brave men who dwell among the mountains of the State would insure the defeat of Radicalism in any guise it might assume. The latest returns show that the Republicans and their negro allies have been beaten, as they deserved to be. The last vestige of Radical proscription will soon disappear from the fundamental law of the Com monwealth, and, with their disabilities removed the white men of West Vir ginia will assuine complete control of the government and lead the State for ward in Lhe path of true progress. 'VIII.: 1 Jai risburg Nal, Journal says: The political canvass in Massachusetts 5001115 to be conducted on the principle of personal abuse, each candidate deeming that the more he eon abuse a rival the stronger he makes himself before the peo ple. We don ht if any party (mil live long which depends upon vituperation, instead of the vigor of its prificiples and the virtue of its candidates, lOr sutecaes. This is a hard but a well deserved hit at the party which the Journal profes ss to support. Certain it is that the Republican 'tarty depends upon vituper ation instead of the vigor of its princi ples and the virtue of candidates for support, and evrtltin it Is that it ought not to live ally longer, \Ye will do our best to give it a decent burial when it gives up the ghost at the coining elec tions. Tit E 11 arrishu rg Slate Journal boldly asserts that Evans is entitled to retain nearly every cent of the three hundred thousand dollars which he and his Rad ical confederates stole from the State. It estimates that his commission at ten per cent. would amount to nearly that sum. But, to make this estimate, it credits Evans with the collection of immense sums which never passed through his hands. When such a defense is made in behalf of a gang of thieves, by a lead ing Republican journal, it becomes im portant for the people of Pennsylvania ,to prevent the alaotion of Simon Cam ermes,camildate for A:uditor-General. Joie ScoTy has come out from hls retirement among the hills of Htint,ing don county, {Lnd he is now very .busily engaged in r persppding Grant to declare martial Jaw ,in South ,Carolina. Grant is in favor of the project, and is said to regard It as a moveMent preparatory to a general declaration of martial law, if he should be renominated. The Besurrectloh. of Cock datchell When two years ago we told In dole ful verse the melancholy story of the death and burial of Cock Gatchell, we supposed the virtuous spade of the Ex press had dug his political grave so deep that the last trump of the resurrection would scarcely sound loud enough to disturb the ears of the great defunct. Judge of our astonishment, then, to find Cock Gatchell not only alive and kick ing, but flapping his proud wings and crowing loudly and victoriously over the prostrate forms of the Express and all the dearest friends of its political "syndicate.' How viciously the lively corpse sinks his game gaff's into the dunghill roosters trained in the Express pit! There lies Franklin blind as Justice, whose representative he so much wished to become. There lies poor old Engle his heart bleeding like a crushed speci men of his own strawberries. There droops Sutton, felled and hemmed in— his feathers ruffled and his hide seamed and perforated by spurs far sharper than the needles of a Singer Sewing Machine. And there weeps Daddy White, show ing the white feather and vainly trying to steal away unnoticed to the wilds of Catruarvon. Poor Denims, whipped and wounded, has his sinister wing more cleanly amputated than was its dexter fellow at the time he was engaged in firing a salute for Democratic victories. Hapless Harry Stoner is mangled as though he hail been run through one of his latest improved threshing machines, his feelings are harrowed, and his feath ers tly like chaff before a champion grain-fan. A dozen other pets of the Express faction bite the dust, while high above the groans and moans of the wounded and dying, ring out the clarion notes of the resurrected Cock Gatchell. Ills numerous friends and retainers, the posters and folders, and roosters and pinchers, hear the well known voice of their victorious lead er, and like buzzards over the car citss of a dead ass, are preparing to gorge their famished bodies on the sweets of public plunder. The illustri ous poet-laureate of the Lirptc,s is dumb-founded and stupefied; and in- I stead of thrilling the public heart with inimitable scintillations of wit and wisdom, us was his wont, he vapors and drivels incoherently :tint melrirnlly thus : Hark! from I be tom!) a dulrful 80111.1, Al Me ears, attend I lie cry . !

Engle, Esq., who was beat en by that stupid fellow, Burkholder, and by that professional Legislative trickster and thief, Doctor Gatchell, is well known throughout the county of Lancaster as a gentleman of the strict est integrity. Not a word was breathed against him at Harrisburg last Winter. In that respect he stood alone. Whit son was a member of what was known as "The Country Ring," an appellation which a certain cheap and corrupt or ganization had adopted to distinguish it front the Philadelphia City Ring. "The Country Ring" could be bought cheap, but its members always hail to be bought. They were among the most obstinate roosters in the lower House. They always stuck upon their perches, until corn in the shape of greenbacks was deposited in the bottom of the coop, and then each rooster solemn ly Hopped down, gorged his share of the plunder, and voted according to contract. Wiley was regarded as be ing constantly on the make, and Rein oehl was looked upon as a sharp specu lator, with stiMeient cunning to cover up,his tracks very completely. We only express the opinion of the Democratic side of the lower House of the Legislature when we say that Mr. Engle was looked upon as the only thoroughly- honest member of that Cody front Lancaster county. The defeat, of such a man by Burkholder and Gatehell proves one o two things. It either shows that the Republican voters of Lancaster county are utterly stupid, or it furnishes unde niable and irresistible evidence that their votes can be bought unit at very cheap rates by a set of corrupt political tricksters. We do not care which horn of the dilemma they take. The Kentnehy Election The official vote of the Kentucky elec tion gives the following Democratic ma jorities: For Governor, Leslie, 36,976; Lieutenan t-Uovern or, Carlisle, 30,627 Attorney-General, Madman, 39,537; Auditor, Howard, 40,146; Treasurer, Tate, 30,8;03 ; Register, Grant, 39,704 ; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Henderson, 41,270. No ollicial returns were received front Wolf county ; re ported to have given los majority for Leslie. 'file average Democratic majority in Kentucky is only a fraction less than forty thousand, or nearly ten thousand more than was claimed by us before the election. With the negro vote against them the Democrats of Kentucky thought they would do well if they gave their candidates thirty thousand ma jority. A gain of nearly ten thousand over their estimate is eminently satisfy ing. Frauds at the Primary Kleellou There seems to Lie no moot for doubt ing that the !oust outrageous frauds were practised at the recent Republican primary election. _Daily new proofs of the rascality of the Ring-leaders are coining to light, and many honest Republicans can be found who seriously doubt whether the candidates for Legislature, Prison-Keeper and some of the other offices ever received enough votes to en title them to places on the ticket. It is believed that counting had more to do with the result than voting. In the dis trict of "Rapho—Newtown," eighty eight votes were returned :44 having been polled, when those who know the facts are ready to swear that less than fifty persons were at the polls. In view of such frauds we do not see how any conscientious Republican can support the men who are supposed to have been "counted in." That many will refuse to do so is certain. Result of the Trials at Versailles. The trial of leading Communists at Versailles for atrocities committed dur ing the regent insurrection in Paris is beginning to produce definite results.— Ferre and Lullier, two of the most in famous of the Commune, have been sen tenced to death, and it is stated that Brissy, also notorious for his complicity in the villainies of that government, has been doomed to suffer a similar pen alty. Assy,Grousset, and several others scarcely less culpable than these, have been sentenced to deportation and con finement in fortresses, while others are to receive lighter punishments, in the shape of short imprisonment, fines and simple deportation. THE Lynchburg News says there is a disfranchised rebel in Southwestern Georgia who employs three hundred and sixty negroes, and will raise a cot toncroP this 7ear worth $lBO,OOO. He ha,s.up vote himself, but controls just three hundred and sixty more perpo cratic ballots than he did before the war. Consequently, there are peace, Plet6 , , and prosperity all about his neighbor hood. Grant Not Idling at Long Branch. General Grant haS not spent an idle Summer at Long Branch. True, it is, that all the official duties appertaining to his office have been neglected,but he has been a very busy man for all that. He has been constantly in conference with Federal office-holders throughout the country, and continually engaged in arranging for an early packing of the delegations to the National Republican Nominating Convention, Nor have the Cabinet officers been loitering away the months during which they have been absent from Washington. They have all been as busy as natters for warding the one great project, to secure which, every thing else will be made to bend. The plan is to make early de monstrations for Grant, and, through the influence of Federal office•holders, to commit the party in favor of his re nomination. Many of the heads of bureaus, and influential clerks have been given leave of absence and sent out through the country to work with a view to the same end. Grant dele gates are to be everywhere sprung upon the party, and other aspirants are to be frightened from the track. The employment of United States troops with loaded muskets and Galling guns, is one of the means which Grant has already employed to put down opposi tion to him in the Republican party.— The declaration of martial law In South Carolina will be the initiation of a more extended military movement. The man who could countenance the Louisiana outrage will stop at nothing to secure the prize of a renomination. Grant ha.s found the Presidency to be sucli a lucra tive position that lie will not give it up without a desperate struggle. He has al ready gone far enough to alarm every true friend of Republican government. 1 lis intrigues with the office-holders are disgraceful his resort to military violence is full of menace to our free in stitutions. The supine submission of the Republican party to the corrupt and violent means employed by General ( :rant to secure his re-nomination,ought to be sufficient to condemn it to certain defeat. The American people are view ing the game which is now going on With observant eyes, and when the time comes fur giving a verdict at the ballot box ( :rant will II ml that lie can not es cape from punishment for his misdeeds as easily as he can pack a nominating convention. THERE is a fierce dispute going on between the Itadical politicians as to who owns the candidates for Assembly, t is said on good authority that George Brubaker stole two of them on Tuesday and carried them oil to Philadelphia— his object being to sell them in advance, with their own consent, to any corpo ration, ring or clique that may want legislation next Winter. Levi Sensenig started for Pittsburgh also, and it is said lie went to that city to sell the whole delegation to Bob Mackey, who will again be Simon Cameron's candidate for State Treasurer. It is also rumored that the indignation of the L . /press at the defeat of Engle, and the rest of its candidates, has been appeased. George Brubaker is said to have discov ered a means for mollifying its wrath. We will give the particulars in regard to these matters iu a day or two. BILL MANN, COLLIS k r .:, Co., have made all the arrangements for counting themselves into ollice at the corning election in Philadelphia. For week past they have been busily engaged in selecting election officers to be appoint ed by the Republican Board of Alder men. They will be represented by crea tures as corrupt 1 , a themselves, by men who will pay no regard to an oath. The infamous registry law, which was framed fur the purpose of enabling frauds to be perpetrated, places the Democrats of Philadelphia under serious disadvan tages, but they are resolved to meet the elforts of Bann, Corns 4.C: Co. in a reso lute manner. They will not be cheated at the coining election as they have been in the past, and they have given the conspirators to understand that. The St. Domingo Report The extra edition of live thousand cop ies of the San Domingo report, ordered to be printed at the government print ing ollk e, will lie issued in a few days, and are to be distrubuted at once in quarters where their perusal may affect the public mind in any way favorably towards that scheme. The administra tion seems to be quite active in mani pulating the San Domingo job just now, in such a inanner as to prepare the way for a fresh start toward the acquisition of the Satnana lots during the coming sesion of Coligre:-,s 'FIJI: I larrisburg ,S7ate Jonourl says Both the Labor Rentrui movement ant the Temperance agitation, in their politica SeIIMO, are eonnivances of the Democrati leaders, aided by sore-headed Republicans These transparent swindling designs Mtn( already' rendered them abortive for eni except to those (Winded by their appeals. Such is the estimate in which the La bor Reformers and the Temperance men are held by a Republican newspa per published at the State Capitol.— \V hat do they think of such language? Are they swindlers or are they not Let them answer at the polls. TiE Kentucky Radicals hail their tickets printed on pink paper. ro,e voting is the rule in that State, and it was amusing to see the negroes step up to the polls with a pink ticket in their hands,from which they would pre tend to read the names of the candidates they had been instructed to cull over.

How the Property-Holders of Washing ton City Are Robbed. ' Wherever Radicalism obtains com plete control, fraud and rascality are the order of the day. At the last ses sion of Congress a law was passed abol ishing the election of various officers, and giving the President power to ap— point a Governor and other officials in the District of Columbia. No sooner was the new government inaugurated, than a career of extravagance was at once entered upon which threatens to entail ruin upon the tax-payers. Meas ures were taken for borrowing four mil lions of dollars, all of which was to be immediately expended in projected improvements. The scheme was got ten up in such a way that the tax-payers saw at once that gigantic frauds were projected, and they very naturally be came alarmed. In vain did Republicans appeal to those iu authority. The greed for public plunder had seized upon the officials, and they would heed no ap peals. Resort was then had to the courts, and the property-holders have ' been compelled to form themselves into au association for the purpose of pro tecting themselves from the thieves who constitute the government of Wash ington city. At a meeting held on Friday, a constitution was adopt ed and speeches •made, by leading Republicans as well as Democrats, all of whom agreed in denouncing the enormous increase of the debt which has been proposed. The Association is said to represent more than half the as sessed property of the District, and the property-holders are almost a unit against the extravagant projects which have been entered upon. One would suppose they ought to be able to pre vent the plundering schemes of the Radicals; but, when the election conies oil in November, it is believed that the non-tax-paying negro voters will give a heavy majority against the properly !owners, even if lhe latter should vote solid against the gigantic inu ii lei nal debt which it is proposed to create.

Letter from Cape May CArE MAY, Aug. fr.., 1871 There is a rush from the sea-shore home ward ; and by the last days of August the roar of the ocean-breakers will be but a delightful memory to the thousands who have hearkened to its melody, while stand ing upon the gently shelving beach upon which the waves are constantly breaking, But a memory, too, will be the glorious noontide bath In the sea, whore you stand knee-deep In the ocean which stretches out to the shores of Europe, and, firmly braced, await the rushing of the waters which sweep over your shoulders or break above your head in rapid succession. The delights of floating on the billows, of div ing through the breakers, and swimming in the smooth sea beyond, are nearly over for this year of grace; and so, too, is past the scene of animation on the strand at the bathing-hour, when it is covered with car riages and promenading spectators and the surf is filled with crowds of amphibious looking beings, who are certainly not beau tiful, individually, in their red, blue, and grey flannel garments, but who are, collect ively, a brilliant feature in the landscape, animating it by their motion and the crit a and laughter which come from them in their deep delight as the exhilarating breakers rush over them. It is perhaps needless for us to say what has been so often said, and we believe is unanimously agreed to, that there is no such; bathing surf in the world as that which breaks upon theSouthornmost point of New Jersey, at Cape May. Other sea side places may havo advantages which Cape May has not; they may have pleas cut drives through the back country as Long Branch has or they may be easy of access and by pleasant pathways, as New port is, and as Cape May certainly is not; for anything more dreary and unpleasant cannot be found than the throe hours' rail- road-drive down to Cape Island, through suffocating clouds of dust, and over such a Sahara of sand and scrub-oaks, as South ern New Jersey, where the mosquito reigns supreme, and where such a sight of civili zation as a corn-field occurs so rarely as ti cause almost a delirium of joy as it comes to the relief of the straining eye, peering through tho thick atinosphero or Lio,lllo LiVO sparks 11.11 a dust., across this arid east( to get a glimpse of something moderately plOa.Lllll.O look upon. We are aware that another correspondent of this paper wrote to it a glowing account of the beautiful scenery along this road, sail graphically described the pretty girls that thronged its stations, the beautiful rivulets which crossed its track, the magnificent oaks that shaded its paths, the 1a :wilful farms that stretched away from it, the tltrorrgs of hints that crowded the air and the delightful perfumes of fields and flowers that tilled the atmosphere. 1t was all a fanny sketch and there was not a word of truth in it. The writer was asleep all the way down front Philadelphia; he must have been, and must likewise have linen a vigorous dreamer. There aro no pretty girls at the stations ex cept those who may have come Over from the ocean-shore and have bloomed upon the sea-breeze and a diet of clams. There is nothing to eat along the railroad; noth ing but mosquitoes can live there, and they only grow to half the size of the insect We are familiar with hero, and moreover, they do not sing; they aro weak little creatures and nature has taken front them their vocal organs because they can't get nourishment to enable them to blow their pipes. But Cape May, although it does not 'lave a pleasant country behind it, and is reached after much toil and vexation of spirit, as an ocean-bathing place is unrivalled. IL is difficult to imagine how its beach could be better; its sand is hand and smooth, and tree from shells, stud pebbles; it dips or gently to the ocean thAt its inclination is hardly perceptible, and each rise and fall of the tido covers and exposes it to the width ofover one hundred yards. The beach is perfectly even, too, throughout its extent, and its inclination being so gradual there is no undertow or violent reflux of the water, although the breakers are us heavy as the most vigorous bather could desire. The bathing is therefore perfectly saM, and it is scarcely possible for an accident to happen to any ono possessed of ordinary prudence. Ilere, therefore, every one bathes, and it is the only sea-side resort— that wo know of—unless Atlantic City may be an exception—where bathing is the fashion and is universal. At Long Branch very few bathe because the bathing is dan gerous ; trot at Newport you will find but a dozen or two in the surf at a 011ie, be pause the beach is small and of little ac count. But at Cape Mry old and young, high and low, fat and lean, beautiful awl ugly, all bathe; for the bathing is glorious and not to be resisted. 'rho bathing-dress is a great annihilater of beauty, and ruth lessly exposes whatever flefects of form or feature may exist; but it is bravely donned by the belle of the sea-side, aithough she well knows that there is no more striking contrast in nature than that Iwtween her post-prandial appearance as the hello of the bathroom, and her ante-prandiat exhibi tion of herself as a nymph of the Soa. There area number of women, however, who are still beautiful amid the waves, but tiles,' are not the majority. The protuberant stomach takes the place of the prof ober - ant bust, as the striking feature of the phy sique, and the vessel's' ballast seems to be stowed lower for the express purpose of a safer audio] age among the wild seanertves.

Can it be true that this 550,000 of stock in Seneca Sandstone Company was presented to President Grant by the owners of the Seneca quarry, through the Hon. 11. D. Cooke, of Washington? Can it be true that after this handsome present President Grant appointed the Hon. Henry I). Cooke Governor of the District of Columbia? Can it be true that the Seneca Sandstone Company is making a great deal of money through various official relations in Wash ington ? We trust all these questions can be an swered in the nevali've. President Grant has so many political misdeeds to answer for,that we should hope that this particular case of present-taking may be kept MI his account. But we have received a statement of the facts here intimated from such a source that we dare not withhold them from the public.—N. Y. Sun. • 1=1:131121 Under the above caption wo flini the fol lowing able article in the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. It shows what a Re publican newspaper thinks of the proposal to place South Carolina under martial law: It is announced that, In accordance with the advice of Senator Scott, the President is about to issue a proclamation declaring martial law in the State of South Carolina. A preliminary proclamation will be issued calling upon all armed and d isgu teed bands to disperse or surrender within thirty days after which martial law will be enforced, a State reduced to a military province, and citizens arrested will be without the pro tection of their own laws. But for the circumstantial and seini-ofil dal nature of the announcement, we should not accept such a mistake as possible. It seems, however, to be a part of the politi cal programme of a few desperate leaders of the Butler, Cameron, and Chandler school, and is the feeler of popular forbear ance to decide whether entire political sub jugation in the South can be sustained in the North. Instead of aiming to strengthen the Republican party by a wise and just deference to the convictions of sincere and patriotic men, the political desperadoes who assume to wield the destiny of the par ty have resolved that the rude, naked ex orcise of more than questionable force shall be resorted to, and we are about to hart the experimental instalment given in South Carolina. We do not question that there are dis nrhing elements in the Palmetto State.— The embers:of rebel lion still slumber there to some extent, but to assume that the die °, dors there aro wholly or oven mainly chargeable to the rebellious element is a serious mistake; and, what is more, the intelligence of the whole country, North and South, appreciates and acknowledges he fact. We know that Senator Scott is a •incers man. but he is of all men of his po ition the least titled for the task assigned fini.

In uglier words, the settlement or May, 1,67, on which the Evans hing claims a cumin ission of over ttl9o,ooe, was effected by a reversal of a Treasury decision, and that reversal was made by the saute officer who gave the original decision. We van not imagine that this was accom plished without same valuable considera tion. And wo have very little doubt that the knowledge that this reversal of the do cisitin could be had lay at the very bottom of the formation of this Ring. We know that there will lie (.110 ,liltrreSt investiga tion of this suspicious transaction in the Treasury Department, and wo have very little doubt that there will be, eventually, a complete unfolding of this whole conspi• racy. This Evans Ring is evidently not a small one. There was a large sum to be divided, and we believe the parties in it are numer ous. The agent himself does not appear to have secured, by any means, the lion's share of the spoils. There is reason to be lieve that ho is a poor man to-day, although 3k2U,0e0 stuck to his hands, of the money of the State. lie is a fugitive froth justice, not so much, apparently, for his own sake. as for the sake of those who have divided the spoils. His best friends do not know where he is. For days, they, as well as the officers of the law, have searched fur him in vain ; while he is hidden because of the fear of exposure that haunts the men who have divided the booty among them. When the revelation comes, as conic it must, it will be found, we have very little doubt, that the Ring that contrived and executed this raid upon the public funds of Penn sylvania had ils members in the Treasury Department at Washington, at Harrisburg, and at Philadelphia.

In the course of his charge he asserted, that "the officials of the State have in two years plun dered the State of more than all the thieves, etc., for the last quarter au century," mut said that "the darkest page in the history of the State is now being made up, which, when deciphered, will show present bank ruptcy and perhaps future repudiation."— The New Orleans Picayune in an article on the filthy condition of the streets of that city nays: "All branches of the city as we'll as of the State Government stient character ized by imbecility, corruption; fraud or violence." •
