The 'Presidential canvass of next year is toi / be.one of thepost exciting and -closely-contested, battles ever known in the political history of the. country. The Democracy,Submerged beneath, the great poprilp -- uprising occasioned , by the Rebellion, has . again becothe powerful i k„through' causes brought about I;principsily from th& forbearance and ,inagnaniM.: ity of the successful defenders of the integrity of the .Union. Indeed, the great crime of which the South was guilty has brought to: the unrepent ant and unconstructed rebels inereas eti political power, by adding to their ' numbers in COngress and in the ililecioral College. The shot-gun and bludgeon,have made a " Solid South," and-as in the . days past, the, Northern Deinocracyi. with servile and abject, subrnisMon;bends to the deerce and obeys the behests - of Southerd diets tion. With : a majority in both houses of Congress i , the South, which is 'the Democratic party, loons with longing eyes and anxious hearts to success at the next presidential election for the realizatiom of their hopes, by the cow sunimation of their designs upon the public treasury. The liope of success is . baSed upon casting the Vote of the Southern States unanitnouSlv for the Democratic nonirnee, and receiving enough votes frorb Northern States toinalie a majority of the Electoral edllerv. An enumeration of the liFectOral votes North and South may assist in forming clear comprehen sion of the situation. There arc to be cast 30... Electoral votes, and 183 are necessnr. to an election: . ,J011T111ct:N sTATEs.

CVrz,l. lEI In a contest betweeii the Solid South and the Solid North the bitter would .have a majority of 93, but a transfer of 4 of its voles to the can tli(latc of theY South would elect him. To make certain of these votes, and thus elect the Denuicratie candidate, is what is now the key to the pro ceedings of the Democracy in Con gress. :The 3 - votes of the States of New York are an important factor in the election. Without them, the hopes of the Democracy are vain. In the present state of public feeling. there is but little prospect of carrying that State . against the Republicans, except by . outraguins and . wholesale frauds in New York City. It is to make elleatin:r there easy - that the attempt is being made to repeat all des protecting the voter and calcu lated in 'preserve the integrity of the ballot-hos. The pretense of military interference is a sham, intended to secure let , isliithin which will allow the repeaters and ballot-box stutters in New Ym - s free scope _for their operations, and thus contr. - 01 the Piet idential election. New York be carried by fraud for the Democratic candidate, the t 3 votes required to make the requiite number might possibly be ,jtad in Indiana, which has votes • in the Electoral College. This State has greater facilities for Democratic Manipulation than , any other North ern State. and by the repeal of ihe laws souglit for by the . Democracy, would otfer a fair field fair- their ope rations and for the use of TILDEN'S barljof money. The preliminary strOzale, then, is in Cong,ress. The country under tanas this, and is watching with anxiety the result. Fortunately, the President interposes -- between the conntry and the conspirators .who would give free play to the Sfivithern bull“loiers. and Northern repeaters ' and ballot-boX stokers. it is a des perate game. the: Democracy is play ing, and it Will 4c fought with bitter ness. On the part of the-South, it 'is a desire to obtain perfect control of the government, that they may them: by accomplish what they' failed to bring about .by recourse to the sword, -and to indemnify themselves for their • losses during the Rebellion. Their Nortliern ,allies are hungry for the loaves and fishes, for which they have So intiny years bemi longing. All 'considerations of the public welfare, and allq : ilestlcinsd' individual rights will be Madc-subsecv ient to the great and controlling, desire for success. It will be seen -at once.- by reference to the table 91?.0Ve that the Demoe ' raiiy , vaii..have but faint hopes of sue • es.: . with a This should be borne in mind in-considering their - 40<m in Congress, and-will serve to ekplain the new-born and alnfo4 frtntie zeal of the majority to preve4 military interference at the polls ank 'to Koteet the voter from the bayonet. It means nothing more nor less than that all lestrictions shall . be removed from the stntling of ballot-boxes and the intimidation. and bull-dozing of : : : thYcciloriA voter, to the end that the •,tawful;Votes of the North may he .'irefwheimeil with 3 flood of comfy 'fraud and-violence.. It is to bring about this .result, lerehy electing Deinoeratie I%;i -'eat, that the, attempt 'is in44e to erce.thejExecutive into the :wilfu l' of their i,lauc, under the threat of ititsing to pass appropriation necessary for the carrying on of the government. The men who were ready to raise their, armed hands against the flag in 1801, are now en• gaged in their unpatriotic and revb: lutionary attempts to achieve Demo cratie success by coercive measures. The' public sentiment of the' North is thoroughly and irolligently'awak ened, and we shall look for popular verdict in 1880 which will fully sus tain the President, and by overthrow. ins the Democracy thwart the designs of those who would make shipwreck of our National credit and character. Tim bonded indebtedness of .the city of Williamsport,.-which is about, iG00,01:0 —ivas incurred tinder the pretense of paying for the extensive' improvements carried on during the , reign of . PElEtt. Itmorc. The good people of our neighboring city, groan ing under this heavy load, have "the repudiated paymnt, and the authorities have come in collision. with Judge awn!, The\supreme Court attirm+l the validity 4t the bonds, yet there has been no Ceps taken towards the payment of he. .over•ilue issue. Now a committee respectable citizens of Williarnsport appear in an address d'senssing the equities of the case, in .which they state that " recent investigation ren ders; it certain that'of- the total issue of bonds now held and numbered among the outstanding bonds, $lO,- 000 were `stoleifrom the Treasury and were never issued at all, $24,000 were issued without any considera tion whatever, and $167 7 ,000 were illegally issued by the easurer of the city to the then Miyor of the city, at about 63 cents on the dollar, in violation of the distinct require ments of the act of Assembly requir ing the Treasurer to 'sell ' the bonds.", The bonds thus issued, they al; legred, were transferred at this enor mous discount under pretense of con tracts which bad beeit fraudulently obtained, subjecting the city to the payment of nearly one hundred per cent. above actual cash prices. The committee, in view of these facts— which will be urged when .the pay ment of the bonds is required—will submit a proposal of compromise to the bondholders in order to effect an .equitable settlement. CosuaEss- can pass laws making silver a legal tender, and requiring the mints to coin millions each month, but the public wants arc above all laws, and nothing can force silver into general ►use. Excepting for change, it• is too bulky, and dealers a nd banks will not be burdened with it. Theory : that the people demand silver in unlimited amounts. Result: the coining of two millions per month;, and the accumulation of tons of silver coin, in the Treasury. So large has become this hoard, that new vaults are necessary in which to stow it away. The Treasury De'partment endeavors in vain to put_ it in circula tion—bank it comes, again, because it is not neededln the business of the country. Who ever sees a gold coin? or who does not prefer the more con venient paper money, which is at par everywhere ? The currency tinkers appear to ' forget that the present National Currency differs from the rag money of years ago, which was nearly all at a discount, or perhaps uncurrcn't, excepting in the neighbor hood of the place of issue. Now the fortunate possessor of a National Bank bill, or a greenback, - does not . look to see where the bank is located, certain that it is current in any part of the country: So lung as this is so, coin will be Int little used; and will remain in the vaults of banks or the hoards of misers. THE Investigating Committee at Ilarrisburc: is doing a noble work. The members of the House are called in alphabetk;tl order, and asked sun dry questions as to their knowledge *of offers of bribery. Invariably and promptly they answer in the negative. In several. instances, it is true, there has been some talk of cash and " roosters " and other terms known in the legislative vocabulary, but the parties Interested all declare, upon their solemn. oath, that it was only the bubbling over of the representa tive humor; and that it. was intended as a joke.' If the members arc to be tvelieved under oath, no one ever thought of buying a vote, and .no•one suspected drat he was being improp erly•approaChed. The legislative tes timo4 will Show the Legislature to he composed of upright ; honest, un bribable men, who wouldn't think of being paid for supporting any meas ure ! Hereafter, the Pennsylvania Leg stature will ,stand conspicuous in this naughty world as a bright and shining example of oAleial purity and irreproachable integrity. Tun Siiprerne Court of Pennsylva nia, now sitting in Harrisburg, has just decided a second suit growing out of the suspensiori'of Gr,onor, IL "S'ITAIIT, by the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, for hymn singing and communing with other , evangelical churches. This decision sustains Mr. STESitT and his fricdds, at the-same time condemning. the action of the synod, and contin ues the Rev. Dr. STERUITT and the Second Reformed Presbyterian con gregation in the undisputed possess. ion of their property, Which has been in litigatiOn for the past ten years. The first suit, involving similar issues,-. was decided in like manner in favor of Rev. Dr. McC.kuutv, of the Fifth Church, of this city, some time ago. The opinion in &Ali cases was deliv ered by Mr. Justice Clonnox, and dis sented from in this one by I'4lf: s ada Justice SIIARSIWOU and Mr. Justice TRUNK&I, - TUE tURITUERNAUMUT. The remarkable, utterances of DeM ooratie • leaders; both . In . and 'onkel' • Congress, should 'have thonttention of .Northern people, and awaken their serions.apprehensions.:• Wu: are again significantly reminded by the daily speeches of. Southern • orators that the spirit' whiph•initimied the leaders of the still rules the South, and inspires the men . Who now seek to recover in pence the ascendancy they loSt in war. Governor COLQUITT, . of Georgia, - lately, delivered an address at the dedication. of the monument for the Confederate dead - at Columbus, in, which lie assured his ten thbusand hearers that 'the bana , 3 was not lost, set up the plea of woil stitutionality in defence of African slavery, and revived the pernicious doctrine of State sovereignty. Ile clainied that the loss of ' property in ! volVecl. in the emancipation of the negro was insignificant compared 1 with the lass of local sel f government, l and the remanding of, the Southern States into a degrading pupilage and, subordination. .Vie .had always suit / - posed thi't the battoliona in blue were engaged in the _effort tck l pre % , rve the Union .and • suppOrt its nstitution, but the Governor of Ge rgia proudly claims that the South was hkiting for constitutional right-.j There is to be,.he claims, a reopening of the discussion of/the great divid ingtenet of State sovereig,niy, in which all . sectioris of tlic. land will participate, and upon the, decision. of this question ' will depend the future prosperity. of the Union of States. But for unparalelled effrontery and misrepresentation, - Senator Rua. bears' the palm. In . his speech, on the Legislative appropriation bill, he claimed that the South seceded be eause war was made on her constitu tional rights lif'the e.T.treniists of the North to destroy` its property, and beeause.the Northern people, thtough their RepublicAn leaders, said that secession should be accomplished in peace! • There were hundreds of thousands of people who fielieved that the only way to avoid a war was to secede. The South sought to' avert the war, while the North tried to bring it on. Ile (Mr. Mu) knew the Republicans claimed io . have saved the Union. ,but if there had been no Repiiblican party the Union would not have' been in peril, and there would have been no . secession, Mr. RILL said that of the, ninety three Southern representatives and Senators about .seventy-tive were op posed to secession. These monstrous doctrines and unfounded state ments serve to show the spirit which now animates the South. The true patriot is defined to be the citizen who bore arms In the Confed erate service: The odium of treason is removed, and honor . claimed. for the . traitor t . The Lost Cause is not Lost—but its final triumph is certain and immediate. The replyof Senator CIIANDLEIT to the assertions of the Georgia Senator was characteristic and forcible. lie reminded the Senator that he had styled himself a "Union secessionist," and desired to know what that meant. The Senator from Georgia thought. the South had a right to be solid, but a solid North would destroy the Union. The South was_ no more solid to-day than in 1 . 857, and ever since, and no quarrel with the North Made it solid. It was .solid because it was determined to rule or ruin the nation. - It tried the ruin scheme with arms, and failed. It comes back to ruin-•it -by withholding sup plies to carry on :the Government. The men have changed since 1837, but not the measures. The other side then fought to overthrow the Government; -now they vote and talk for the selfsame purpose. "You are to-day, as you were then,"‘ con cluded Mr. ruAsoLen, ," determined either to rule 0r.t,0 ruin this- Govern merit, and you can't do it." 1 1 , Tue Senate on Friday passed, the bill "to prohibit military interference at elections," by a :vote of 33 to 23. Eighteen Senators were paired, so . that the full rote would laavi! stood 42 to 32, and two Senators, one from each party were absent. The vote was strictly a partisan one, unless we regard Mr. Davin D.tVis as an Inde pendent, -which is uni,ecessary, though lie often poses in that charac ter, he never acts itt it. The Repub licans protested, as they- ought to have Gone, wit c h great earnestness against the doctrine, the motive, and the effect of the bill. Mr. Ey:nu:ins opposed it-in a speech which contain ed a calm but- strong 'review of the provisions, of: the Constitution and the laws with reference to the authori ty of - the Federal Government . regulate Congressional. elections and of the 'President to enforce such reg ulations.. Messrs. II cottNE and C t!ANn- LER contented themselves with point ing out the spirit in which the Deirro crats had conceived the. bill. The bill finally passed was the one that came from the House,. the Senate having at the last moment yielded to the dictation of the jo4it caucus, and abandoned all effort to get its own Views adopted. The act was submit ted to the President Saturday: It is - confidently predicted that he will re -turn it with a veto. ' IT is found that the pension arrear age accounts average about eight hundred and fifty. dollars . each,. or nearly four times as . much as the estimate furnished to Congress. As this money will - reach the benclici, aries Without shrinkage from ascots or attorneys' fees, and as a majority of the recipients will be among the poorer classes, it is - not at all improb ible that many a Witty. Imawsteal will be secured, through a_ sensible use of . the Government's bounty. . ANOTIMit VETO! When the DeMocitaie enemies had Completed their work; Ittrasannoune ed that they had.,:.fiatned . - a bill to • coilfortn to the President's Veto of the :;rmy'.hiit. The Democratie lead 'Cis gave - vet that they had shnply • frained a law, which should declare; that the troops'should not -be used / at cletaions., That -is the pretence:on which they passed : the offspring of the e.ances, and on which they have .expected the. President to approve it. But-that is not, the character= of the Lill. It does .not say that the army, and navy.of the United States shall not be used to control elections; but that the army / and navy of the United States shall not be used aUtll, except in certain cases when they are called for by' the State authorities, and shall trot be brought to any place for nny Alurpose where naeldction is being i lield,. making it unlawful for The general government under certain copting,encies to . protect its own property. . • , The bill also repeals, all acts authorizing the Executive to,uselcree in the execution of the laws, and changes the policy -of the govern ment from the time of wAsumiros to the present day. , It also contains a repealing clause which was prob ably cunningly intended to wipe out of existence all lairs specifically em powering ,the President -to enforce . the laws by the use of the army if necessary—adding- to 'the obnoxious features of the pill, , the additional one of ragueneks' and uncertainty. The President's , objections to the bill, as contained- the veto are briefly as fellows : .•(1) That the bill' forbids the Pret-lideni under certain circumstances and at certain timesio enforce the laws and protect _the property of the, United States, anti repeals a long line of • eels approved by WAsunvoToN, JErrrit ,, ox, J.wx.- so'N and .I.iNcni,x for that purpose, each enacted to meet some great emergency. (2) That the effect of the bill will fc to strengthen State sovereignty at' the expense or the General Government, by clipping away. the powers of the latter while the former .would remain unchanged. (3) That the repealing clause or the • bill . is vague, anti its etfeet cannot be forscen. SECRETARY SR Eit mAN's recent visit, to - Ohio Ivas the oceosion of tntteli speculation as to its ol!ieet..
