Comiliants, Ohio. _Oct. 12. —Leading Democrats concede the defeat of Pen dleton by about 15,000. m.Posruisras General Casswm.' has opened negotiations with tho British Post Office Department for_a farther redaction of letter postage between the United States and Great Britain. By the existing postal convention, which went into effect on the Ist -of January, 1868, the single rate of pos tage for letters between the two countries was reduced from 24 to 12 cents. Mr. Ciumarsu. now proposes a further reduction of from 12 to 6 cents, to take effect on the first of January, 1870, which he claims is ful warranted by the present abundant means of trans-Atlantic steamship commication. If this reduction be agreed to by Great Britain it will es tablish an "ocean penny postage" between the two countries; the com bined rate of 6 cents comprising a sea postage of 2 cents and an inland charge of 2 cents in each country. The British office declined last year to-reduce the international letter rate below the present charge of 12 cents, but in view of the fact that large numbers of the mentbers of the present Parliament are advocating the adoption of a system of oceari penny postage between the two coun tries, and have recently presented a memorial to our Minister at London on that subject, as well as of the fact that the general expression of public sentiment in both countries is strong ly in favor of this most important postal reform, it is hoped that the proposed reduction will be assented to. • It is well known that Mr. CaEswELL favors the cheapest possible postal intercourse with foreign countries as the best and most efficacious method of promoting our commercial inter ests, and the public on both sides of the Atlanta will be glad to know of this movement to further reduce postage between the two countries. iff-Tss condition ifif Admiral Par. rap:it seems to justify some anxiety. He is in Chicago, and had been dan igerqnaly ill for some days. As soon as he felt a little stronger he took an excursion on the lake, caught cold, and was attacked with congestive chills. The Admiral was sixty-nine years old last July. He entered the service in 1810, was commissioned Admiral in 1866, and his last cruise terminated with his return from Eu rope last November.

The amount of damage done is not men tioned, but so many and so severe tempests, with so little intermission, threaten the island itself. We have an interest in these tempests of a di rect sort. The treaty that was ne gotiated with Denmark by the last administration only needs to be rati fied by the Senate to render St. Thom as part and parcel of the ever-enlarg ing Union. The Departuient of State has, within a few days, secured fro& Denmark an extension .of the" time for ratification of the treaty. The Senate will take it up at the next ses sion. We are informed, through various channels, that the feeling in government circles is growing more favorable to the purchase, and we may, therefore, have the property within the year. *Lam fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution on Friday ratified by both houses of the Virginia Legislature, in compliance with the recomendation of Governor Walker. In the House there were only six votes cast against the amend ments, and in the Senate only four against the fourteenth and two a gainst the fifteenth amendment. In the House au amendment to the bill passing the fifteenth amendment, making it take effect on and after the the admission of the State into the Union, received but , five votes. In view of the doubts existing relative to the legality of the present legisla ture, a resolution was offered in' the House that both amendments be again ratified after the admission of the State. The resolution was refer red, and both houses adjourned until the 18th instant. SOCIAL DRINKEREL—The Probe, . a magazine published at the Sanitari um, near Media, Penna., states that one-third of the whole number of pa tients in the institution acquired the taste for strong drink in attending parties and other social gatherings; that the two thirds became drunk ards from constitutional tendencies, inducing insanity in some and reck less disregard of moral obligations in others. Of the first class, twenty two were cured; of the second only eight. Two-thirds of the whole had the benefit of Christian and temper ance training, while only twenty-three had been neglected. NM.

Of the fifteenth amendment he says "The people of this commonwealth, at the late election, by an overwhel ming majority, , accepted and adopted the principle sought to be incorpora ted into the Federal Constitution - by this amendment E viri : - The..eivil a nd political equality of all men before the law. The well-known horior and in tegrity of the people of Virginia for bid even the supposition that they would fail to faithfully adhere to and maintain, while necessary and , possi ble, any rinciple to which they had yielded t air adoration. Virginia al ways fulfils in the most ample good faith all her pledges ; but our people by this action have not only placed the political basis, but they have ac, complished much more. " They have increased prospective ly the power and influence of our State in the national councils, by broadening the basis of representation under the fourteenth article of the Con stitution of the United States. When in any State the right of suffrage is, except for crime, the basis of repre sentation must be reduced in a cor responding proportion, although we have wisely settled this question, so far as our State is concerned, and banished forever from the theatre of State politics this prolific source of crime and discord. There is reason able'grotinds for apprehension that if the fifteenth amendment should fail of adoption as a part of the Federal Constitution, our State may be flood ed with, and the control of it pass into the hands of a class of emigrants from the great States lying upon or near our borders, who win seek the enjoyment of those civil or political rights accorded to them here but de nied to them there. Self-protection, therefore, demands that we do our part towards securing the ratification of that, amendment. Our interests require it :our faith is pledged," ' . _ He considers the election of • Sena tors clearly a requisite to admission, and . adds': " Complete restoration is accom plished by admission to representa-. tion in Congress, and there can be no question that ' .admission to represen tation may to some extent depend upon the representatives elected. While the election of Senators would fully complete preparation . necessary for the prompt admission of the State I to representation in both houses of Congress, election of suitable men for these exalted positions would unmistakably demonstrate the since rity of our past action, and afford a sure guarantee of our intentions and purposes for the future." In conclusion, he says : " Permit me to congratulate you upon the progress already made to ward the restoration of the State to civil government. Its good effects are already visible everywhere within the State. Confidence is being re atoreil ; commerce is reviving; mining and manufacturing interests are being Organized ; capital is seeking invest ment in our public improvements.and in our rich agricultural and mineral lands ; and, above and more gratify ing than all, joy and hope are taking the place of gloom and despondency ; " Peace and prosperity are 'once more daWning upon our desolated land. Conscious of our own acts, motives and intentions, and relying upon the cantinued favor of the Al mighty llikposer of human events, let us all manfully grapple with the living present and confidently hope for a glorious future for the commonwealth.

PHILADELPHIA, October B.—The ha bees corpus in the case of McLaugh lin, &ill driver of the carriage in which Brooks' assassins escaped, was quashed this morning, on the ground that the prisoner had not applied for the writ and did not desire its issue. All three prisoners were remanded in default of $20,000 bail, and were con veyed to prison under a guard of- po licemen. .That these precautions are neces sary is evident from the exhibitions at hearings in this case. In view of the threats made to shoot detective officers if they dare to search partic ular houses, and the declaration made by one man that he would giveslo,ooo ifNeil McLaughlin were out of Phila delphhia, it is thought that the police authorities cannot exercise too-much precaution. ' The parties implicated in the Brooks affair, and brought here from New York last night, were to-day held in $20,000 each to answer. The bail really amounts to $4'0,000 in each case, as the securities are required to justify in that sum. DEATH OP EX-PEESIDENT PIEROE. CONCOM, Oct.
