Ramada 2ntellfgnicer. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1871 The Elections—The Effect. The result of Tuesday's polllbg, in nine different States, although we could have wished it different, in many re spects, cannot be regarded as either a condemnation of the Democratic party or its principles, nor as an endorsement of Grant or his administration. In the West the Democracy have made large gains—all they expected, for there were no hopes for a triumph in overwhelm ingly strong Radical States. In the two Virgi nias Democratic Conservatives have signally triumphed, while in Maryland, with the new Radical negro element against them, the State and Legislative tickets have overwhelming majorities. In New Jersey we elect a Democratic Governor, and gain the as surance that the State will cast its elec toral vote for a Democratic President In '72. The only State in which :the general result has been atrainst the Democracy, is New York, and there we have only sustained a nominal defeat. By no means can the result be claimed as a triumph for the Grant Radicals. They contributed nothing towards it, while the Democrats, by their action at Rochester, In boldly denouncing and cutting louse from the. Tammany cor ruptionist.s, paved the way for the hearty second which has been accorded their action by the people. The result is simply an anti-Tammany and anti-Cor ruptionist triumph, to which Democrats contributed more effectively than the 'Murphy Radicals. It is a revolution in the State, which only precedes the Na tional revolution which is to crown Con servative ellbrt in the next Presiden tial contest. It is not a party defeat or a party victory; it 14 simply a general revolt of the people against fraud, cor ruption, and official dishonesty ; and is as much a condemnation of the pilfer logs of Grunt's officials, mid of his pres ent-taking, bribe-receiving characteris tics, us it is of Tammany and Tom Mur phy. Since the advent of Grant, with the nepotism Which has characterized his administration ; his itching palm for the gifts of friends which served as a better reminder to hint, than even the wily whisperings of lago to Brabantio, " Put money in thy purse;" the be stowal of official place upon incompe tent partisans, and their retention after exposure of their Offerings—never has there been such wholesale and unblush ing corruption in every department of government. Every day brings some new development of Radical ruscalilies. The journals are full of of them, 111111 the heart sickens at their lore recital: It is In condemnation of these enor mities, the peregrinating, bribe-taking eorruptikmist, nod klkdisik Radical bead of the government which Ilc disgraces, alike with the frauds °lT:mummy, that this verdict has been rendered. It is Tammany's turn now it will be rant's The 103 al Party Off. The President, tleneral Sherman, Colonel Audenried, Lieutenant Fred. Drant, and a score of attendants, lefli Washinglift, yesterday, Mr New York, front which port the Wabash is to sail to-day. The royal Marty are said to be in high spirits, especially Prince Fred, who sees in the New York election re sults a most potent hacking to his suit for'the hand of the young Princess of Duelph. Ills hoinence, the President, is peculiarly elated in view of this visit of the royal scion, as it puts another feather in tlie bulimia! (sip, and re moves him still further from the nofOr innate plebeian 111001111gS WhiCh SO much tended to hamper the patrician hankerings of• his earlier youth. A score or more of Tout ',Murphy's free importations 0r 1 lavanas are added to the royal daily consumption, while visions of perpetual royal purple and imperial magnificence art! woven unit the curling smoke. There is one thing to be regretted in the departure of the Prince at the pres ent juncture, and that is Dud the.l ;rand !hike Alexis has not arrived, so that the two heirslirei,uniptive of imperial thrones, might shake paws and con gratulate each other upon Ilse greatness their royal pa's. Fred, it is said, insisted upon taking out Dexter, to astonish the royal turf men of England, but Bonner refused to present him to (ImM—the only thing which has ever been refused him, when asked for--which is likely to wipe out the name of the great publisher from the list of Presidential friends. To make amends for this, the Prince goes with a splendid out-lit, and with a box of his royal father's,favorite cigars for ' who is about as vigorous and useless a pulrer as the despot of the White }louse. What a palpably practical, as well as adishable joke, it would be, if the royal father should go aborad to see the Prince oil,l 4 nd the vessel set Hail and make too great head.way for a speedy or safe return. Ile might take it into his maudlin royal head to take a turn by way of San I Mining°, to see his curly headed friend Baez; and, who knows but, if once in that portion of his covet ed domintons, he might not be so fas cinated with the magniticent palaces and the regal pomp of this island re treat, anti which he can have for the asking, that both he and Fred, and the whole royal household, not except ing old Jessie, Corbin and the minor hangers-on to the teats of °Metal pap, would pull up strikes at Washington, and transfer the White 1 louse Cabinet meetings and reeeptions to the palaces in which old lien Wade and the San 1 )oiningo COMMISSiOIIers were so royal ly lodged. There is no telling what whims may seize royally, and least of all, the imperial (leant. The Milk In the Cocoa-nut l'he late elections in Alabama dis closed the existence of a secret Radical Military organization in that. Stale,call ed the "National lluards." These men, whites and negroes, are bound together by an oath, and are to operate with the ballot as well as the bplonet. 'rimy did Em operate recently, and defeated several Candidates for the Legislature, who had spoken in opposition to the society or association. Would it not be -well Mr the Ku-Klux - Committee to. examine into the aims, purposes and doings or this oath-bound, military association? They are quite :1,1 dangerous at the Ku- Klux bodies. But they favor the re nomination of (letters! (irant, and that will insure them front all molestation. It Makes All the Difference Yoe know. The Governor of Texas has auda ciously refused to give a certificate to three or four Democratic Congressmen who have just been elected, which pro ceedings, from a Radical stand-point, is all correct; but it makes a decided dif ference, you know, when a like course is made to aired the political interests of the Radical party. The withholding of a certilicale from Weakley was rank treason; a refusal to give them to three Democratic Congressmen, a righteous and loyal act! Could Grant Emulate IL? They manage some things abroad with a better grace than we have attained here. Mr. Gladstone has selected from his hitter political opponents such men S.B Mr. Russell Gurney and Sir Stafford Northeote to represent the nation abroad. Now President Thlers names his old rival M. Guizot to the most im portant foreign mission in his gift. Can any of our readers Imagine President Grant nominabin g to the Senate Senator ti.'rank P. Blair or Horatio Seymour for an important and honorable political office such as it would honor them to ac cept, and to which they would lend the dignity of their character and their Icing experiencesof men and opinions? An Endorsing Policy. The Harrisburg Patriot indulges in A very sensible strain of comment upon the suggestion of General Frank Blair and the St. Louis Republican, that the Democratic party make no nomination for 1872, but support a candidate to be named by Republicans opposed to the re-election of Grant. We adopt the idea and the language Of the Patriot when it says that without at present intending to assent to or dissent from the policy suggested,' t unhesitatingly believes that no nomination against Grant can be car ried at the election which fails to receive the• formal endorsement of the Demo cratic National Convention; If the can didate who is to receive the support of the elements opposed to the re-election of 'Grant Is to be one whose ante cedents are not Democratic, the en dorsement of his candidacy by the Democratic National Convention will be Indispensably essential to his success. Lacking such endorsement, he could not legitimately claim the support of the Democratic organization, but would be obliged to rely upon his platform of principles and personal character to se-. cure him the votes of the Democrats, who by the silence of their National Convention would bc given a choice be tween the several candidates totally unbiased and unrestrained by party ob ligations. While Democrats generally would prefer any " Republican " statesman of liberal views to Grant, and while the mass of them, in the absence of a regular Democratic nominee, would ,undoubtedly cast their ballots for a candidate brought forward in accordance with the suggestion of the Republican, there is danger, In the event of a Democratic National Conven tion failing to name a candidate, that an irregular movement would be made for the nomination of a Democrat, which would have the effect of bringing Into the field a guerilla organization which instead of inflicting injury on the com mon enemy, would only distract and damage the ranks of the liberal De mocracy. Therefore, even if the cor rectness of the Republican's suggestion that the candidate who is to defeat Grant lutist be a liberal of " Republi can" antecedents, is conceded, it would be folly, hr our judgment, to place that candidate before the people without the endorsement or recommendation of the Democratic National Convention, the authority duly accredited by the Demo cratic party of the country to speak and act In its behalf. In 1.964, General George B. MTh..llan was first nominated by the " National Union Party " (the Bell and Everett or ganization) and wan afterward adopted by the Democratic National Convention. If the tt. Louis Republican will moth iy its suggestion, so as to conform it to the policy which obtained in the nomina tion of General M'Clellam it will Hot only have a good Democratic precedent to fall back upoit, but in all probability a good Democratic President to look up to after 1672. Let the liberal or anti-Grant "Repub licans" organize in the several States, elect delegates to a National Conven tion, and thus enable the Democracy to estimate their strength, or rather to un derstand whether or not they are leaders who have a following. If they fail to organize and hold a convention, how are they to present the people a can didate, especially if the Democracy are not to nominate? if the anti-Grant Republieans of a considerable number of the States organize and place before the people a candidate for President, on a platform favoring universal amnesty, the decentralization of political power, civil service reform, reduction of taxa tion, and a sound currency, the Dem ocratic National Convention will hardly be so pig-headed or unpa triotic an to g i ve the movement the void shoulder. But if those Repub licans who desire the defeat of Grant, and yet are 'lot quite prepared to vote 1i . an old-line Democrat, :ire so weak in number or so inefficient as political organizers, as to fail in elliwting a re spectable national organization, they cannot expect the Democratic party to give their claims to recognition any ser ous consideration. Before we are will ing to concede them the leadership in the coming battle, we must know whom beside ourselves I licy are able to lead. Sir Roderick Murchison The English papers announce the death, at a very advanced age, of this imtinent Deographer and Geologist. Ile had, for many years pant, been President of the Royal (teographical Society 01 ( treat Britain. lii tbis position he has contributed much to enlarge the boun daries of Geographical Science; and teological Science is largely indebted to his clear intellect 11.1111 varied learning in the physical sciences, and laborious in vestigation of the rock formations of many parts of Europe, for the rapid 'strides it has made during the last half century. Of the live great European divisions of Palaeozoic time, the Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian stratifications, the honor belongs to Sir Roderick Murchison of having named three of them, The Pertnian, Devonian and Silurian. 'l•he Permian was thus named by hint from Perm, a province in Russia, where this formation occupies a space con taining an area four times as large as the State of Pennsylvania, and is dis tinguished for the great abundance and variety of its fossils. It is largely de veloped in the North-eastern counties of England—Durham, Yorkshire and Nottingham. It is the latest formation of the Palaeozoic series. The Devonian takes its name from North Devon, in England, where till' Roderick Mnreltison discovered it to be a marine fossiliferous strata, and had been k Ill) W u under the name of the old red saud•stone, and occupies a place between the over•-lying coal meas ures and the underlying Silurian rocks. This formation is largely developed in t. he coal-regions of Pennsylvania. The Silurian underlies the Devonian or old red sued-stone group. To the study of this formation Sir Roderick Murchison gave a number of years of unremitting study and labor; and while classifying and studying this formation in that part of \Vales and contiguous counties of England, which once con, stituted the kingdom of the Silures, an ancient tribe of Britons, he proposed the name of Silurian for this formation. His ",S'iltu•ian system," published in IS:CI, is a complete history and analysis of this itnportant group of the ancient life-bearing rocks. But it is not alone in the sphere of the rocks of Palaeozoic age that Sir Roder ick Murchison drew developments so prolific, to enrich the pages of the Book of Nature. II e also examined and class ified with a master mind all the sedi ments which, "rocked in the cradle of the rude imperious surgc," have been deposited upon each other from the dawn of organized being to the present time, and to his last moments he felt the liveliest interest in a science, to the progress and development of which his labors had contributed so much. u the whole range of science there is none which requires such intimate varied knowledge, to properly compre hend its details,as that of Geology. All the cognate sciences are subordinate to it. It embraces the whole arcana of na ture. And the persevering labors of one man, who hits done so much for its development, entitles the name of Sir Roderick Murchison to the lasting grat itude of all lovers of Geological Science throughout the civilized world. Don't Speak Well for France. It is not a good sign when a govern ment prohibits the circulation of news papers among Its soldiers. This is what the French Minister of War has just done:' THE LA ►• CASTER WEEKLY _T__N - T.ELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1871. Hound Him On. As if the encroachments of Grant and his myrmidons upon the rights of the people were not sufficiently aggravated; their utter contempt of Constitutional authority and precedent not yet suffi ciently bold and defiant for the further ance of their unholy ends ; their cru sade against a people, utterly helpless and impotent in the simplest effort for the redress of their wrongs, not yet car ried to au extent sufficient to gratify their demoniac thirst for revenge, the leading Radical journals must needs hound on the imbecile Executive of a professed Christian nation to deeds of still deeper infamy against Christian brethren of one naticuality and one household f Among the first to sound the key-note of the aggravated crusade which is to be inaugurated, Is the Slate Journal. After deducing from the re sult of Tuesday's election the argument that it is a thorough endorsement of Grant's whole policy, it says: "Hence the President nded have no fear in pursuing a radical polio , against the disturbers of peace at the South. The men who continue to defy the national authori ties, are bankrupt outlaws, determined never to recognize a power which they could not destroy. To conquer such wretches we must exterminate them. of course Gen. Grant knows what to do, and will du it." Against the assurance of their own Radical officials in the South that there are no Ku• Klux disturbances, except such as are instigated by scalawag and carpet-bag incendiaries; against the protests of their ebony-hued friends, whose hearts are far whiter than those of the fiends who would fire them with hatred ; and despite the assurances of the local authorities that their power is sufficient for the preservation of order, a terrible condition of allitirs is pro claimed, demanding the intervention of armed authority and the suspension of every civil right. It is not enough that the people of South Carolina should be first impoverished by the pilferings of Northern Radicals from her treasury, their homes desulaled, and general ruin and beggary the only inheritance left them ; but the same heartless and dam nable rule must be extended to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and to every other State where the people have dared the expression of free thought, or had the temerity to indulge that independ ent action which characterizes freemen. If such be tire truthful rendering of the verdict on Tuesday, God pity the vic tims who fall under Grant's une•ciless rule. "Of course, Grant knows what to do, and he will do it." Aye, will lie; but, true to your brutal instincts, hound hint on. Impress upon his stolid mind the idea that to conquer the people of the South, they must be exterminated; and, as Grata may not be sufficiently embittered to personally conduct the heartless crusade, let Piegan Phil Sheridan be employed to head the mil itary hirelings, and direct the fire brands of extermination against once happy homes. lie is adapted to, and revels in, just such work ; and, with the sunCtion which is claimed by the lournoi, he would do it so effectually that not a fagot should burn upon a peaceful hearth-stone—not a smile or cheerful word light up a single hotote hold—not a tearless eye close in sleep, nor a single heart pulsate without emo tions of dread—so that gaunt famine shall displace plenty, and the bounteous soil of snotty homes refuse to . yield the harvests which have enriched them and contributed so largely to the commerce ,if Lhe nation. Yes, hand the people of the South over to the jackals of your party. Let them revel and gloat to their full bent hi the scenes of misery which they love. But, in the midst of the feast, let them not forget that there is such a thing 11.4 retributive justice, and that, as the hand-writing upon the wall struck terror into the cowardly and guilty soul of Belshazzar, so surely will the people arise in their offended majesty and hurl rpmm power the mis creants who sn rya lessly Irainph. upon human rights. The Ordinary lion Wu. No W that the smoke of the polities] contests has cleared away, with all the -bustle and excitement that attended them, we may all set about composing ourselves and settling down into our usual business-routine. Elections are always accompanied by more or I eSS of irregularity. They lend to unsettle men's minds, divert them from their usual .diannels at thought, and more or less disti . aut us all. But such diversions, if not of too frequent occurrence, have a beneficial tendency. They get us out of ruts and kinks. They show us that there is something to be attended to in lire beside our own immediate private eoncerns. They enlarge our horizon of thought and feeling, liberalize our ideas, develop public spirit, and make us part and parcel of the great world. Alen cannot confine themselves within them selves —cannot bear to be imprisoned in I ooks and eorners -cannot tie ;Omni sel ves down to lucre personal and sel fish aims and objects, without becoming narrow; minded and hide-bound. 7 lie Corn Crop of the West Fears were at one time entertained that, with the large destruction of grain in Chicago .and other portions of the West, as well as the reported deficit in Europe, that there would be a scarcity of breadstuln in this country, with prices that would seriously operate against the poorer (dames. 'Western pa tiers, however, inform us that the corn crop of the \Vest, the present season, has proved the best harvested for years. In many portions of Indiana, lowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota corn is offered in the cribs at front ten to tif teen cents a bushel. In Illinois and Kentucky the yield has been beyond all precedent. The wheat crop has also been very large. In Europe, on the contrary,. there appears to nave been a heavy deficit in the grain harvests in nearly all countries. In England the general falling MY has been variously es timated at from fifteen to twenty per cent. ; while in Hungary, the Danubian Principalities, portions of Austria, and in Southern Russia—all countries that have usually exported large quantities of grain. - there bits been a great decreas from the average production. The rav ages of the potato rot and the cattle dis ease in Great Britain will increase the demand for grain and animal food, and the United States will be able to supply both in any quantity at reasonable prices, as cheap bacon and pork, articles extensively consumed everywhere, are the natural consequence of cheap corn. Don't Give Credit The Radical journals, everywhere, in their jubilee over the election results in New York, claim it as a " Republi can victory." In response to which the _Herald asks, " What will it amount to It will be another jubilee for the Re publicans while the "Reformers" will be laid out in the cold and a general stampede made for restoration to the DeMocratic fold." No credit is given to the honest men who igtiored party ties and assisted in redeeming the State from Tammany frauds; the Radicals think it is all to be attributed to the popularity of Grant, while the truth is, he was scarcely thought of in the fight. Another Presidential Candidate. The Trenton Gazette (Rep.,) thinks that the astouishing success Of Hon. Joe Parker, of New Jersey, in an election which, on the rest of the ticket, gave a large adverse majority, places that gen tleman at the very head and front of the Democratic politicians of the country as an available Presidentiarcondidate next year. He possesses a prestige of success, which all the other profilinent aspirants for the empty but fascinating honor of a Presidential nomination lack. And this prestige is an indispensable prerequisite in a candidate• It would not greatly surprise us if Mr. Parker should head the Democratic National ticket next year. The Last Badteal President. In political matters, the New York Herald is something of a prophet, and can, akt a general thing, read the horo scope of parties with almost unerring' accuracy. Even with the result of the New York elections, and the damper which they are supposed to throw upon Democratic prospects, it predicts that Grant will be the last Republican Pres ident, Wendell Phillips, one of the sages of the ultra Radical school, says, that the Republican party has fulfilled its purposes—is rapidly falling topleces, and that It must die. Both Phillips and the Herald may be regarded as genuine prophets, because they are free from po litical obligations and party ties. In the last Presidential contest it was asserted that the Republican party must suc ceed, because in the great philosophical course of aflitlrs It had not fulfilled its destiny. Yet it must be asserted, in the face of this proposition, that many par ties are known in history to have suc ceeded in holding office during a period, and to have gone out of power with op probrium and universal detestation and contempt. Such will be the fate of the Republican party. tirant\is its only embodiment, and he has preserved his claims to a re-nomination only by Sa crificing the best men and the purpose of his party. lie cut down Penton; he insulted Greeley; he choked Sum ner; he outraged every sense of party decency and of national statesmanship. And Greeley says of him what is true, that he only carried the State of New York by stepping into the furrow of a sentiment and spending the Customs money. We do not believe that he Ln s thereby gained a re-election. Front the look-out the New York Leader drms s much to encourage, tool thinks that at no time during the past ten years could the Democratic party look forward inure happily or hopeful ly. It is a party which profits by local defeats. I lad the Republican party been defeated in the recent New York elec tion, it could not have existed for one year in the nation. But the Democratic party is alive and pro s pering. This Tammany defeat does not materially in jure Democratic prospects. Indeed, we see this in New Jersey, which will go Democratic in the National election. The greatest political aspiration every where seems to be that there memt be a great National Democratic party. It is coming. All talks of new departures, of accepting situations, of laying along side the Republican craft and going into harbor a little ahead of her, are but shadows of the policy of the National Democratic party that is forming. The Republican party, then, as organ ized, will die in bed of consumption.— Its head, Seward, is gone. Its heart, Chase, is gone. Its right hand, Fel I ton, is gone. Its left hand, llreeley, is gone, Its pulse, Schurz, is gone. Its purpose, Sumner, is gone. Its old boots and spurs, Murphy and Chant, remain. In its place is a purpose of exacting money from panel-house secrets. When Mur phy tells the secret in some day's anger, the party will (lie. The National Democratic party is or ganizing its purpose and its power. As yet we see only its dawningAight. Very soon we shall see brighter its beams. A little later its full rays will spread over holiest purpose and powerful organiza tion, and the glory of our government shall be as noon-day. Out of Ills Own 'Mouth Ile Slangs con victed IL is sometimes it dangerous thing for a Mall to Nit hilnnelf 1111011 the record— especially a not over-shrewd :mil un principled politician. A mau l s words may sometimes be paraded against him, to his complete discomfiture. Such is the predicament of Useless Grant. In ISiftl, when a serious dist urbance threat ened Baltimore, President Johnson was requested to send United States troops there in order to preserve order, and General Canby was directed to proceed to Baltimore and report upon the con dition of :drafts. General Grant, the Commander-in-Chief, was consulted by the President, and directed to make re port on the subject, which he did on the :2-Ith of October of that year. After de tailing the circumstances of the case, Ile proceeded to discuss the question as to the propriety or using the military forces in the local :drafts of a Slate, and added:. 'rho conviction is forced on my mind that no reason now exists fill giving or promi, ing the military aid 01' the Government to support the lairs of :Maryland. The ten dency olgiving such aid or promise would be to produce the very result intended to be averted. So far there seems to be mere ly a very bitter contest fur political 8,0010 deney in the State. Military interference would be interpreted as giving aid to one of the fauthins, 110 matter how pure the in tentions, or how guarded and just the in structions.

IL has transpired what became of a portion, at least, of the money fur which an action is commenced against William AL Tweed. Judge Noah Davis, United Slates District-Attorney, states that he has received information entirely satis factory to his mind that" the New York charter was voted for by the Republicans pursuant to a caucus resolution of both branches of the Legislature, bot that the entire body of R,publicalLi teCtC corrupt ed by immense:ims of money brought by Tweed from New York, for which identical money an action had been com menced against him!" The Judge's authority was no less a person than A. D. Barber. THERE is a saying that "it pays to he honest." Grant's officials don't think so, and a large number of our own State officers have been making experi ments upon a very different basis. There IS another homely piece of advice upon which Grant practises, and which he has made pay--" Get all you can, and keep all you get," from a Long Branch cottage to a terrier-pup. Anti• Grant Movement A Washington despatch to the N. Y .

The Hero of Two Big Fires. Piegan Phil seems Incapable of lifting himself from the filthy slough of tyran ny and outrage upon, not only decency, but the common rights of humanity, into which he has longsinesdescended. His element seems to be carnage and bloodshed, and he revels amid buffering as the Very personification of the angel' with the ink-horn and fiend of horrors. Hunting Piegan Indians, and murder ing their papooses and squaws, or shoot: ing and hanging without arrest or trial, to add to the terrible scenes of burning Chicago, seems to be the only sphere where he is perfectly at-home. The iston Argus is terribly, yet justly se vere upon his military acts of usurpa tion, and draws a graphic picture of scenes in which he conspicuously fig ured. It says: "It is now little more than seven years since the Shenandoah Valley was laid waste. Homes which had sheltered many generations were mercilessly burned down, and young and old, tottering grandsirea, weak women, helpless children, were turned out into the fields and highways and left by the inhumanity of man to the pity or God which, in that hour, seemed terribly far away. Barns were given to the flames, fences were destroyed, and even the implements of agriculture were gathered into heaps and 'mule bonfires of. In all the history of the world's wars there is no record of destruction more ruth less, or wanton, or wicked than this. It wall a curse which fell upon the innocent and helpless—upon those who were past lighting, or were not old enough to fight or strong enough—a crusade against maidens and mothers, old men on orutrhes, and ba bies in cradles. The distinguished warrior who led in this campaign of rapine, who applied the torch to a thousand homesteads, and set the overflowing barns of the great valley smoking and cracking under a peaceful sky—who snapped the graudsire's stair with the strong hand and sent the armed heel crashing through the cradle—was teneral Philip Sheridan. lie made a clean job, spoiling everything, even to the very crops on the earth Over which Ito swept, and sparing nothittg,—not a roof, tree, a grain stack, nor a widow's cow. We recall this little reminiscence of seven years ago merely by way of directing at tention to the eminent, good taste of the Mayor of Chicago, during the recent great tire, in committing to General Sheridan the guardianship of the public peace and mak ing him the almoner or the public charity. It was as if the keeper ofa cook-shop should entrust to an aged buzzard of battered beak —curious only in carrion and keen fin• it— the sampling and selection of his butcher's meat. It was giving the supervision of quarantine to a stuall-pox patient festering in the eon iluent sores of his ninth day." Nut Claimed as a Republican Victory. the New York Tribune has not quite as much brass as some of the smaller try Radical journals, and does not con- Ader the result of the election in New York as a Republican victory. It says: In Now York party organizations co aloseed, and the grand Reform victory wa. the joint trill m ph of honest Democrats ant! honest Republicans against the thieves. This means, what is just the fact, that honest Democrats and honest Republi 'cans united and voted against Tam many, headed by Tweed, and the Cus tom-House thieves headed by Tom Mur phy, Grant's-friend-and Collector of Customs. True Democrats do not, and have no need to feel badly over the re sult. They have overthrown the cor rupt " Ring" of the party, which gives them a better standing before the Conn try, and a guarantee for success next year. There has been no falling air in Democratic strength. Party lines were ignored by Democrats as well as Repub licans to defeat the thieves, and all hon est Republicans voted as readily for Til den fur the Assembly as honest Demo crats for Sigel. If the Republicans will only commence the work of purification in their party and complete as have the Democracy, then honest men will in deed have cause for rejoicing. The Booth Carolina Bond Ring While the excitement in South Caro lina, caused by the doings of the State Bond Bing, is not in the lent diminish ed. the terror caused by (lie withdrawal of public liberties grows even more ap parent than it was when martial law was first proclaimed. _Bayonet law was of course avoided by all who were aide to leave the proclaimed districts, and a general exodus of wealth and respecta bility took place. But many persons whose business is of a local character are compelled to remain. The exodus of the ti rot-named class simply means the ruin of the otheit: Many failures will probably be reported before long. TIT El: I.: was (mite an exciting contest in the Episcopal Convention of the New Diocese, at Harrisburg, between the High and Low Churchmen. The Low Churchmen carried the day, electing their Bishop and Standing Committee, and also securing the Hann, of "Central Pennsylvanil." for the Diocese.

Rumored Defalcation A special to the Washington Telegraph from the Philadelphia Press, of Friday says, "There is a rumor to-night of an other defalcation—this time in the city post-office. The story is, that a clerk who has been living rather fast, has been dis covered [oho a defaulter in a considerable amount" [For the Irttelltgeneerd Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus There is nothing more humiliating in human nature than the spectacle of a great and gallant people quietly sinking into an attitude of indifference to the value of the blood-bought liberties given to them by a high spirited ancestry. To say that such is the ejact condition of the American peo ple, at the present time, might be going too far, but appearances look very much as if such were the case. Who will deny that we have been for some time in a state of revolution, bloodless if you please, but not the less a revolution—rapidly tending to ward a total change of the hitherto repub lican character of the government, and to the concentration of all power into the hands of one man. Instance the condition of South Carolina. President Grant, by the flat of his will suspends the habeas corpus in about one-third of that State, the direct effect of which is to substitute the military for the civil powers—in other words, the inauguration of martial law, which that great mat ter, the Duke of Wellington, de fined as "no law at all." The difficulty lies In appreciating hor rors, front which wo are exempt -hence tho apathy of the Northern mind to the complaint of the afflicted counties where martial law prevails. Now let the people of Lancaster comity place themselves In the shoes of those of Marion county, South Carolina, where martial law existed from the 17th of October to the :td of November, this present mouth—the; people, made 01, dicta to the will of a Brigadier•lieneral or even a Colonel, commanding, (say :000) U. S. soldiers stationed in our midst, strang ers to our customs, feelings and sympa thies ;_plaeed at their mercy Without any appeal to the Courts; no trial by jury ; the hands of the magistrates paralyzed; each Lieutenant of a squad authorized, or at least feeling hinisolc empowered to arrest, whether in the night or day-Ii ate, and lodge in jail, any 0110-111 all, WOlllllll or child, regardless of condition, age or sex-- hr may suspect to be guilty or any real or imaginary uffenee, and smelt supposed criminal hurried uhf, in spite or the tears, and supplications of the dear ones at home, to places they know not where; their own inquiry and that of friends, as to the (-Anse of arrest, treated with void mockery. I C we can picture to our 11011,18 all this, we may realize to some extent the condition of the people of that unfortunate seethe'. To all this the apologist of President I 1 rant will probably say, the people are at fault themselves; for why I.lu they harbor Ku- Klux ; why don't they obey the laws of their country? To this 1 reply, with what ever force this may apply to other counties in that State, the President Ity his procla mation of November 3.1 admitted that he was apt in error, so far as Marion comity was concerned. But look-at the enormity of the case of a peaceable county, as much so as our own, subjected to the horrors of military rule, even for two weeks. The inquiring mind will instinctively ask,Bittin where are derived these invasions of the liberties of the citizen 7 Are the in stitutions of the county su tame and iutpu• tent as not to guard fundainentully against those infractions of civil and political liber ty? I answer, all these outrages aro clear violations of the Constitution of the United States ; but where is the remedy, when the President and a partisan Congress conspire to violate it? The only warrant for Bloom. pension of the habeas euron, is touted-1 mean, of course, outside of the late act of Congress, which if valid must of necessity be based on it—in Sec. ii of Art. 1. Under the head of the powers of Cottyrt,s, and not those of the President, lie it remembered, "that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." • There aro but two !Teel ilod eases, in habeas corpux, t which means the right of any citizen, when arrested or imprisoned l'or any reason, by anybody, to be brought before a Court or Judge, whose duty it is to inquire into the,-5000 .1 - such arrest or imprisonment, and if no good ,xtuse be shown,to discharge, or cotherwise take bail, or remand the prisoner,) is taken away by the Constitution, signed by Komi it WASH INOTON, viz : In case of rebellion, or move " when the public safety may require it." It is needless to say that neither Con gress or the President,or both combined ran change the right. Why !Menus() it is a right mucholder than the Constitution itself; it is a right guaranteed to every English and American citizen, over since the reign of King Charles 11, and I hold, that if the Constitution were silent upon the subject, the right would still exist in all its vigor. And had the Constitution taken away, in stead of affirming it, the result would have been that merican Revolution, instead of maintaining and guaranteeing civil lib erty, would have abridged it. I will not take the trouble to parade the 11a111(4 of Kent, Story, and the authors of the Federalist, to show that the SllSpet.ioll of the writ of //9/•cms rociots, in the ease ad verled to, is in direct and palpable violation of the Constitution,that the President swore to "preserve, protect and rbfC//r/ for any thing else would bean insult to their memo rY. But I will appeal with confidence to every citizen of Lancaster eon nly,who reads the New York Tribune, filled as its columns are, and have been, with the most exagge rated accounts of Ku-Klux outrages, and ask whether I taking these outrages as true,) they amount in their judgment to a "re bellion or inVfl3ioll.," endangering not the • peace—but '• the publM safety."' lAA them lake the Constitution it, hand and 10001 to Section ii of Article I, :in,' place it side by side with the sum of all the supposed out rages; take a cominon-sense view, as 1 know they Will, and then ask their con sciences whether President Crant was right in suspending the habeas corpms as passed by the Constitution. To say that outrages are cononillod in the region placed beyond the pale of the law by the usurpations of the Cuustitu Lion, proves nothing. Doubtless, owing to the somewhat chaotic condition incident to the late civil war, mutes may be more numer ous there than in our own section; but to stigmatize the art of a set of marauding adventurers as 'a rebellion 01 . 111.1,15i,11, jeoparding the public safety—in the lace of the fact, that all the Courts, both civil and criminal, State and National aro open, and all the other civil functionaries in undis turbed authority- is a perversion 0f terms, and he who shields his official acts under such pretex to, is a wilful falsifier, and a violator of the Constiltili , ,,, of his country.

Nov. 4, 1871. Massrs.l.Alilor:9‘:—Thinkingeome of your readers may be IntereAted in reading letters from the South, I will give you a short sketch of my travels daring the past week. Leaving Columbia on Monday, I arrived in Baltimore about 7 p. m. When, meet ing Mr. E. S. Young, the general agent of the Northern Central Railway—to whose energy and ability that road is indebted for a large portion of its success—l re mained with him to take a glance at the Monumental City ; but, as your readers are all familiar with it, I shall give no descrip tion. Leaving Baltimore at 4p. m., on Wednesday, via the Richmond and York River Railroad's steamer, " Eastern City," Captain Kavanaugh, 1 arrived at West Point next morning; thence by rail to Richmond, arriving there at 11 a. m.; and here let me say to all goring to Richmond, to take this route—you will got a comfort able night's rest,having all the convenienc es of a first-class hotel, good table, and en obliging " wholo smiled " Captain, with but one change, that from the boat to the cars. From West Point. to Richmond, the country looks wild, with lint rew farms along the Flamini ky. This yon will retail ly believe, when I tell you that about mid way, three young Baltimoreans came on board our train, having killed three deer, and a large number of wild ducks, all in the space of a few days. Inißichmond I had expected to tied rm old decayed-looking town, made especially sin by the ravages .1 . the late war, nett in large 'sullen or the itopulat kin negroes but, I find instead, a city of tio,ooo inhabi tant -4, the buildings four and live stories high, having, granite fronts, with stores and business places equal to Rail innire and Philadelphia; business equally Is pros perous; a courteous, obliging, well-dressed white population; the ladies in silks and chignons equal Lu Broadway, New Yiirk.

They possess no enterprise; everything about those nevus goes to ; the Councils take no action in the matter of improvements. Take fur instance n a Railroad Company had proposed to roll in railroad into Norfolk, the Council not only refused an appropriation, but also refused the right of way. But the day is dawning hero.

Yet, with all this business, the place is slow to improve; but few 'new buildings wore put up this year. The shlmwalks are di lapidated; the streets macculanci-zed with saw-dust and shavings. lick makes the place seem very quiet. You hear the neha! of wagons recalling over hard pavements, or the horse-shoes clatter upon a snfid foundation; but, where there is len saw dust, a wagon will run full six inches deep in the dry sand. Nearly every street has its Bull 11110 of live-oak shade trees, which are just turning yellow.
