HANCOCK very truthfully says that "the bayonet'is not a fit instrument for colleging the votes of freemen." Certainly, not. Any Democrat knows that the shot-gun is the true Democratic weapon—that it is A weapon surer Pet. ' . And better than the bayonet in the 'bandsof a Southern Democrat, and insures a "fair count "—because there are only the votes of one aide to be counted.. . „ I Hox. Jous I. Idrreuitt.L, representa tive in Congress from the Sixteenth dis trict, has, at the solicitation of a large number of the prominent Republicans of Tioga atinty, re-censidered his determi nation not to be olndidate for re-election. Some time ago Mr. MITCHELL declined a re-elction in a letter which set forth the disagreeable dutieB falling upon a, mem ber of; Congress from this distribution of garden seeds to applicants for office. But he seems to be willing to again encounter these difficulties and responsibilities. There was no more useful and able mem ber than Mk. M., and the. people of the district should consider thernseWes fortu nate that they are able to continue hini in Congress. Sass the' North American, very perti nently : "In the present National can vass the issue is squarely pre. ented as to whether this great Republic shall be gov ered by. the landed oligarchy of the solid South or by the citizens of those States of the North and West which comprise three-fourths of the Union in population, wealth, resources and all the elements of adv:mced and enlightened civilization. The South now rules both houses of Con gress, and if it shall succeed in the elec.- dons of the present year it would obtain complete control of all branches of the government, thereby enabling it to recon struct the army, navy, civil service, judi ciary, tariff, taxation, currency, finance, etc., to suit its own sectional ideas and prejudices, and to retard as much as pod- Bible the . marvellous progress of the North." TUERE are at least nineteen cities in the United States that now have popula tions exceeding one, hundred thousand. In 1870 there. were only fourteen. In ten years the following cities-are knoWn to have advanced beyond the hundred thou sand limit : Cleveland, Milwaukee, De troit, Jersey City and Providence, and there are probably others yet to be heard from. The tirst three cities—New York, Philadelphia and Brooklyn—retain their relative positions ; Chicago and St. Limis coange .places, the former being low fourth and St. Louis fifth. Baltimbre, which was sixth in ls7o, has given place to Boston, t which was then seventh, and San Francisco has advanced beyond Cin cinnati, and New Olio:iris going from tenth to eighth place. In the tweuty }-cars Sae Francisco has drown nroie rap `idly than any of the large cities, Chicago - not excepted, the population now being very marl~- five times :IS great as in Ino.

The late troubles in Allegheny have all been set tled, and harmony prevails in the Repub- Henry ranky: while tb: Democrats are , squabbling and unhappy. A majority of 10,000 for A IiPIELD is promised. 31. Gordon, Chan The Itepirbli-can party is not asec tlonal patty. Its aims, its objects, its organization are all intended to be of the broadest National scope. From Its first incepOon it has been. devOted..to the arduous and patriotic duty of defending. the ; free institu =.4 tior.si of the couritry froipi threatened overthrow, and of pre.ierv,ing the rights and privileges of the whole people from encroachment on the part - of those who would build up an aristocracy, and fasten the fetters of servility and degradation alike upon 'the white and the black laborer. It was in resistance to qectional aggres sioil that the Republican party came into';power,-and its principles are an tagonistic to sec i tionalism In every form. If tlie, -- partY could control every State ini the Union it would bring to every 'citizen, without re gard to - race, color or religion, the free and untrammelled enjoyment of all his political and civil rights, anl throw around every one the protec tion of law - equally from Maine to 'Texas.: That it cannot bring, about these benefiCent results, is not; the fault of the Republican party. Until they are secured, and law and order are paramount throughout the length and breadth of the land, and a citizen of the United State's has the peaceable enjoyment of all the rights of a citizen everywhere, the mission of the Republican party is not ended. It must continue to stand as a' moral breakwater against the will waves of Southein.folly, intolerance and op pression. In so doing, it does not become sectional, because it opposes the extravagance and wickedness of a section. it will not beidenied that the Southern situation it 'such as to excite the 'gravest apprehensions. Both at home, and in Congress it has 'acted with a folly which is akin to madness, and has demonstrated a purpose which unless checked in time will pltinge the country into turmoil, if it does not evettually lead to civil war. In the Sohthern States the Democracy - 1 11as° regained power by violating all their national obliga tions, and by. a resort to the most arbitrary and unjustifiable means. Violence and fraud have been freely used, until by intimidation and op pression the Republican organiza tion has been obliterated by unlaw ful practices, and the life of a i Re publican is in jeopardy who dares to A E,CTION ALISM acknowledge his party predelictions, or attempt to exercise the right to vote his party ticket The outrage ous wrongs perpetrated upon the Southern Republicans, added td the proceedings of the Northern Democ racy in Congress, has naturally irri tated the Noith, and: exciteda state of feeling, the responsibility for the revival of which rests alone upon the ' South. The North demands nothing that is sectional or unreasonable Its requirements are based upon the broad principles of nationality, jus tice and constitutional rights. It does not seek to revive the memories of the war, nor to subject the South to punishment or humiliation. It only aims to- secure to all classes of Southern people the free and full en joyment and possession of rights and privileges which in the North are at:- corded to every one. It is resistance to Southern sec tionalism that haS now become our (lay and labor. How shall it be thost effectually done? Certainly by constitutional means, and in a friend ly spirit. There is no method possi ble, by which Federal interference. can avail to restore the outraged rights of Southern citizens, and pro- tect them from a repetition of bull dozing, intimidation and murder. We cannot strip the offending States of their Constitutional rights, to pre vent outrageous wrongs upon their citizens—we cannot resort to arbi: -trary i.xasion of State authority even fo,he attainment of : objects which are manifestly right and proper. So far we must admit the doctrine of State Rights. The great work of the Repiiblican party is to stand as a rock of refuge and defence in the way of Southern madness and section alism. The Moral force of Northern ' sentiment cart do much to check the insane and dangerous purposes of the South. As the Democratic party gains in power the demonstrations of Southern intolerance. and oppression become more manifest and violent-- the rights and liberties of Southern Republicans more insecure. But the voice of the North when excited and arTused, and unmistakably spoken in reprobation of Southern excesses, ex eryist:s I. powerful and salutary effect, Every Republican ballot aids to better the condition of 'the South, adds to the security of , the persons and property , of Southern Republi 'eAns. It is by- this constitutional, and legal method that we propose to protect ourselves and alleviate the condition of the oppressed in the South. The Executive may not use the Federal arms to give the citizen of a State that protection which is denied him by the State authorities, but the fact that the symilathies of the Federal Governmentiare with the persecuted will have a restraining effect. The National Government in the bands of the Democracy, and a state of terrorism would become uni versal in the South which - would drive from its borders every one sus pected of being in sympathy with the Republican party. More than this, the fact of Northern birth would be the excuse for all kinds of annoy ances and persecutions towards those who sought to reside there. Security and safety to persons and property, and national tranquility, are the legitimate:results of Republican suc cess at the polls. Anarchy, oppres sion, _and possibly civil war, the dangerous consequences of Demo-. cratic rule. . . The necessity for Republican suc cess and the dangers of permitting the Democracy to 'gain control of the government, have not.been les sened by the do-nothing, say-nothing policy which has governed the Dem ocratic leaders during the past few i months. They are- proverbially shrewd and trained in the arts of deception, The Confederate;batteries have been silent, it is true, but they are only masked, not removed, .and will be opened with increased activi- ty if the people.fail to do their duty this fall. A Democratic triumph in November, and all the schemes and revolutionary plans which manifested the purposes and designs of the lead ers at the extra session will be de veloped with magnified virtilence, and all the safeguards against op pression and for the protection of the ballot-box will be broken down, and the Treasury of the Nation placed at the mercy of the spoilers, greedy from an enforced abstinence of years. If the pe4le would pre serve their rights and liberties, they must protect them by all the consti tutional means in their power. TUE journey of General GARFIELD from his home to New York was marked by wonderful -exhibitions of popular enthusiasm for the candi date of the Republican party. The people turned out by thousands at every halting-place, to manifest their confidence in the man, and their de termination to prevent the disasters which would follow a Demodatic triumph. The return by the Erie rail way demonstrated the popular feeling in Southern New- York and Northern Pennsylvania. The Old Wilmot District sent thousands of her voters to, receive and greet the Favolite Son of the Western Reserve. .Such an ovation has rarely been awarded to any public man, much less a can didate, and the modest, sensible way in which General GARFIELD has car ried himself, has extorted the praise and admiration even of his political opponents, wl4ile it has delighted and encouraged his friends. The Sabbath was spent at Chau tauqua, and Monday General GAR. FIELD proceeded home Ward, being welcomed at the principal towns in this State by enthusiastic multiwdes anxious to greet the man of their choice. Tun principles, 'as they term them, promulgated by thil Cincinnati onven tion and Hexooca t a l letter of acceptance read muct better when they have corn. Wired with them the second plank of the • platform adopted by the-same party at the time they nominated their other mili tary hero, a man _ idolized by the Democ racy throughout the country, but who, notwithstanding the nnaoirnity that pre vailed among the sympathizers with the rebels then in arms, was badly whipped. fisscom was in sympathy with the De mocracy then as muclias be is llQW—we bay° his own words as proof of that—and as' a new generation has almost matured since that time, we print,' for infor mation of the accessions to the ranks of voters, Vie plank to which we refer, with the suggestion that the young men espe cially who only know of the iniquitous rebellion as a matter of history, carefully read it, reflect upon the enormity of its prcipositions made when the armies of the Union were, marching on to victory, and in November, deposit their ballots in op: position to a party whiciatooki, through its 'representatives in rational convention assem'iled, unanimously take such action. malls as follows : Resolved, That this Convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that, after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the . pretence of a military necessity or war power high er than the Constitution, the Constltutla Itself has been disregarded In every part, and public liberty and private freedom alike trodden - down and the material prosperity of the country einem , tiallir impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare, demand that Immediate efforts be made forA:ceasation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate Convention of the States, or other I 4 . peaceable torsos to the end that at the earliest practicable 1114ent peace may be restored bn the basis of the Federal States. EX-GOYEENOR WILLIAM BIGLER died Mondayinkirning at Clearfleld.in the 67th year of his age. He was born at Landis burg, then in Cumberland county bni. - pow in Perry. Having received an academical education be entered a printing office and adopted for his trade, " the art preserva tive of all arts." From 1841 to 1847 he was a member of the State Senate from Clearfield county ; was Revenue Cothmis sinner of Pennsylvania for 1848, and Gov ernor of the State from 1812 to 18.5.5 ;• United States Sena!'or from this Common wealth from 1856 to 1862 ; President of the Philadelphia and Erie Ritilroad ; Democratic member to the Constitutional Convention of 1872-3 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of lion. SAMUEL 11. REYNOLDS, of Lancaster, Mini 15, 1873. In all these places ho was an in dustrious and conscientious public serv ant. His kindly, generous nature and AK warmth of his friendship were felt by all with whom lie came in contact, 'and few people in public life bate inspired such universal feelings of personal regdrd and esteem. The sincere regret that will be felt at his death will be unalloyed, for he has deserved well of hip country, and in private liie ho was as blameless as his public career has been honorable. Tn. Alabama business has, been rather overdone. A Democratic majority of 75,-. 000 in a Republican State is almost too much even for a Northern doughface to endorse. How it was done let Mr. WEAV ER, who has recently been in Alabama, tell. He says " I used to think TILDEIN was fairly elected, but he was not. There has 'not been an election worthy of- the name in Alabama for years. Their voting is a farce throughout. They openly adopt every corrupt plan to solidify the different precincts for the Democratic party, and they invariably succeed. In the Black Belt, where the Republicans have three voters to the Democrats' one, the Demo cratic judges of elections simply destroy tickets and supply their own. The law requires that the party having a minority shall have a representative among the judges. When one can be found a blind negro is chosen ; otherwise, either a Re publican is bribed to serve their ends, or a mercenary Democrat is induced to iden tify himself with the Republican party solely for bat purpose. Then, the ballot box is elevated above the heads of the voters in such a way that after the ticket is entrusted to the judges a person out side cannot see what disposition is made of it. It is, therefore, easy to destroy a ticket." MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM 0. BUTLER died at Carrollton, Ky., on Friday, aged about 87. He enlisted as a private in the war of 1812, and in 1817, under General JAcKsoV ire had reached a colonelcy. In 1838 hi) was elected 'to Congress frbm Kentucky, having lived in retirement for several years previously, a position which, he filled for two terms. During the'Mex ican war he so distinguished himself that he was made a Major General in the reg ular army. In further recognition of his services Congress, on March 2, 1847, voted him Nsword, and when General SCOTT was rJcalled from Mexico General Btrr,LEn was left in command of the army, and announced the ratification •of the treaty of pece on May 29, 1848. The same' year he was nominated by the Democrats for Vice-President, LEWIS CASs being their Presidential candidate. , President PIERCE tendered him the Governorship of Ne braska, but he declined the offer and re turned to priVate life. He was a member of the Peace Congress held in Washington in 18(11, which was his last recorded ap pearance in public life. THESE appears to be Illa . dollbt but that the persons who hav e receraly been ar rested in Nebraska and taken to Kansas are a portion of the notorious BENDER family, whose shocking crimes as con fessed are almost too terra& and revolt ing for. belief. The old than has made a partial confession of his dark deeds, the fiendishness of whit is appalling. Un suspecting travelers weft dropped by means of a trap-door into the cellar, where the daughters finished • the bloody work by cutting their throats. Two little chil dren, both girls; only seven or eight months old, were buried alive. Their parents had been murdered. It will be recollected that the . brother of Dr. TORE traced him to the house of the BENDERS, and investigation revealed the graves of numerous victims of the BENDERS, who bad taken alarm and left the country. Nothing has been heard from them until recently, and the popular belief was tliat the hand of the avenger had made short work of . the " BElciikit family." No Northern man, when deciding what ticket he will vote in Novemuer, should forget the facts connected with the brutal assault made with a bludgeon on Senator SumsEn by " Bully " ENGOKS, The out rage was discussed in Congress, and, upon a motion to expel the Southern black guard, 121 members of. the Rouse voted aye and' 95 (83 from the South and 12 from the North) nay, among the latter being Witusis 11.

The old Delmonico .restorrint building ,on Bel mont avenue, next to the abandoned Transcontinental Hotel of Centennial ce lebrity, has been converted into a work. shop for the setting up of the body frames and the doing of the finer work. ,The frames and other parts of the wood-work, together with the blackamithiug and the painting, is being done in the western end of the Main Exhibition Building. The woodkr parts of the running-gear, such as the wheels, are being !made in ‘Villiarnsport. About ten 'busee are turned out daily, and soon the number will be increased to twenty. About one hundred and twenty-five • mechanics are employed, most of whom are Philadel phians, the remainder coming from NVil liamsport. Thus far' fifty 'buses have been completed.:,, The Insane Depart - Went' of /he Alms- . house was relieved Wednesday morning by the removal of two hundred and fifty patient.; to the new asylum at Norris- town. -A train of six cars conveyed the people fronithe, Almshouse to Norristown by the junction railroad. The sexes were about equally represented. Some of the patients were Much averse to changing quarters and entertained strange ideas of what was about to happen to them. .One woman thought she was going to be sold into slavery, others wept bitterly, but the Majority Marched to the cars in silence. Dr. Richardson and a number of attend ants accompanied the train. Mahlon H. Dickinson, President of the Board of Public Cli,'-trities ; President Chamliers, of the Poor Guardians, and Guardian Rob ert T. Gill, Chairman of -the qnnmittee on Finance, were present at ttie start. After the train started it was discovered that a man and a woman had slipped away from the rest and had 'hidden in a clump of bushes near the track. They were taken back to the Almshouse. Plans have been prepared for a new sil ver. vault in the United States Mint, in this city, and work will. begin upon it at once. It will be used for the storage of the standard dollars, of which it will hold five millions, weighing in 'the aggregate one hundred and fifty tons. The old Freight Station of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, at Fifteenth and Market streets, is being torn - down, and 'will be replaced with a two-story brick and irou structure thet will cover the entire square from Market to:Filbert, andiron Fifteenth to Sixteenth streets. and will accommodate twelve tracks for passenger and freight trains.. In June, 1879, .Tohn !W. Cullen, .a pre sumed respected citizen of this city, and. a conveyancer of good reputation, was convicted in the court-of altering deeds, tampering with records and other offen ces, which those learned in the law are in the habit of committing at will, and was scutenced to an imprisonment , five years in the Eastern Penitentiary: Ile was one of the reputable class of law breakers, and never cased to know that while he forged returns for his owtrbene tit, there were. others who were really suf fering for the rights which his criminal practices withheld from them. It was nothing to him that his victims should Starve in his intricate. efforts to obtain property by wilful fraud. Caught in the height of his success, his lawless career was terminated by his death during the past weekin his cell. The collection of birds and animals at the Zoological Garden is being constantly increased by new arrivals. The recent additions made are two black wallah, is, a small variety known as the rock kanga roo. A couple of vulpine plialaagers have also been received. They resezable immany reserliblo in many respects the oppossum.. A Stanley crane ? frbin South America, a white-necked stark from Af rica, a Pair of Australiau inane(' geese, a pair of Paradise ducks from Australia, and a couple of Indian tree!: ducks re also among the recent additions. of birds made to the collection and now on exhi bition. At Camp George G. Meade are now en camped three of the five brigades of the State National Guard. The location of the camp is in the West Park at Cham ouni, on the plateau west of the old Washington retreat. The sight is an admirable one, in every respect, com manding a beautiful and far-reaching view, embracing the placid Schuylkill, the spires and edifices of the city, and the picturesque and lovely scenery of the Park. It is on elevated ground, while in the immediaie vicinity are groves of trees, affording ample shade beneath the spread ing branches. About - five thousand sol diers are now in camp and the white tents,, the gleaming bayonets, the guards and the martial 11111810, all make the mim icry of war seem real. Fortunately how ever, the gathering is. a peaceful one ;• there no "stern alariums" which call the battle-field•, and try the bravery of the arrayed lines. The occasion is rath er social and somtimes inclined to be fes tive, 'art,oflicers and men meet old ac quaintances and form new friendships. • On'Sunday, thousands of the popula tion of, Philadelphia, of all ages, sexes arattinditious, wended their way to the camp grounds, reminding one of Centen ial thnett. All the cars on the lines of travel leading to qe camp were crowded, and the .pedestrians made a constant stream. The grounds were uncomforta• bly filled with visitors from morning_ un til night. There , was much t 4 attract the_ curiosity-seeker at the camp. Besides the regular Sunday regimental inspec tions in the morning; the divine services , conducted by the chaplains, and the dress parades in the evening, all of which were noveltieti tothef' rising generation," but which to _the veterans of the late war to called experiences of army life, the guard mountings, the pacing of the sentinels, and the playing of the regimental bands and drum ttorps, added zest to the ral military panorama. & dress parade was given late in the evening, which was viewed by thensands of spectators. in line - ime the- Nin* Regiment,'and Captain Wilt's Company, A,, presented a fine appearkiee. The boys appear to be having a good time, and will doubt go back to Bradford pleased with - tit* abort sojourn at Camp Meade. There is now in curse of erectkon at the Southwark Iron Foundry an engine upon which a great deal is 7 .staked rela tive to the success or failure of. the elec tric light of Professor. Edison. -1 lit mak ing his n umerous experiments with the forind great difficulty in procur ing an engine that would run the dyna mo-ele.ctiic-machine with sufficient speed and steadiness to Produce a good light. 'Up to this time none could be found, and the rlosiked revolutions have been made up, in a j manipulation of belting. This ha§ Proved decidedly unsatisfactory, be cause the belts make the light unsteady, arid therefore unfit for the purposes de signed. Sortie time ago the Southwark Company,. which manufactures a hier pressure engine—the Porter-Allen—re ceived an order from Mr. Edison to man ufacture an engine that would make six hundred revolutions per minute. This is to be of one hundred horse 'power. Last week, and before the first engine was well under way, another order was re ceived for a one hundred and twenty Boise power engine. The highest her of revolutions heretofore ,attained by any one of the Porter-Allen- engines has been five hundred revolutions per minute. The result of the experiment will be wait, ed for anxiously by engine builders all over the . cluntry, and should Philailel phia mechanics prOvide just the thing needful there will be a big boom in South wark to supply the demand. WASHINGTON LETTER. WASIIINGrN, I). C., Augusts, 1880.,_ With Congress adjourned, business at a standstill, hotels' idle or closed, and almost every One away at some favorite resort, the transpiring events of the day may be said to be " flat, stale and unpro. fitable." Were it not for the political gatherings, pole raisings and club meet' lugs, with excited craters in loud decla mations, there woul&perhaps be little•or nothing to awaken us from our usual summer lethargy . But notwithstanding civil service order No. 1, the various de funct State Associations have Phcenix like arisen from their ashes, re-orgavized and unfurled their banners for Garfield and Arthur, and consequently the dull season is not entirely without some .little enitenient. The great Hancock boom which prom ised, in the outstart, to sweep with all the fury of a cyclone everything before it, and to engulf everything and every body that came in its way, api ears to be slow ly but surely playing out. The tail of the boom, however, is still swinging about the Capitol in the care of the Dem ocratic Jackson Association, so glorious and the one thing altogether lovely in its own estimation. But of late orators have become gloomy and silent, while on the other hand, the feeling that the y nomiva tion'of Garfield and Arthuet will be tri iimplian•ly sustained is daily becoming stronger: There is in this latitudit evi denly a growing confidence in their suc cess. The Democratic party, • with all the .dazzling brilliancy of a 'Union General for its headlight, cannot, disguise the fact that it is still the same Ald party that cost our country so much blood and - treasure ; that it is the same old paity that desolat ed so.mani hearths adil homes f and that it now, as in the pap,lis only. waiting to secure, under any guise thatimay deceive the people, the power to , plunder and bankrupt the nation. While the masses of the people may . have foigiven, they have not forgotten: The defiant and . menacing attitude of the rebel brigadiers in Congress, and out of it has servetito keep alive the reMena •brance of the struggle for the preserva tion of the nation's life, with all of its -crimes, starvation and horrors; arid the consequence is that the great bubble call ed a boom is forced into an early collapse. The deception was too thin ; in fact, so lhin that it may be said that it • died " a borning.'• The Solid South, with its stuffed ballot boxes, its_ rise - clubs and bulldozers, trampling' Ilion the % rights . and privileges of those whom they hail solemnly pledged themselves to protect, and with its representatives standing upon the floors of Congress demanding millions from the Treasury in payment of all sorts of imaginary claims, is some tiug more than the plumage and protect ing wings of a Union General can cover. The deception won't go down. Such just now are the sentiments which appear to; be prevailing.- The situation and the dangers are being fully under stood; and as fully appreciated ; and not withstanding Civil Service Reform, with all of its beatitiful and elegant inconsis tencies, the old enthushtsin of the days gone by is again being revived and the old wheel horses of the_Republiean.Oarty, who steadily pulled through the battles of the past, are again putting themselves in the harness. On Thursday evening of last week, the Pennsylvania residents of the city, not to be outdone by their neighbors from othtr States in the work of the campaign, met and formed themselves into a Garfield and Arthur Club. There were fully 'five hun dred delegates in attendance ; and, upon perfecting the organization, they were addressed by Hon 4 Edward McPherson, .Secretary of the Il publican Executive National Committee. His address, a"ma_sr terly review of the two great parties now asking the suffrage of the peopl, was el oquent and enthusiastic, followed by one no less so from the Hon. Charles Case, of Illinois. Mr. McPherson was unanimous ly elected to the Presidency of the Club. An unusual amount of euthusiam and good feeling was manifested among those present, and, from the ability, of the gen tlemen composing the club, a goodly re port of their labors may be expected. At the rooms of the Republican Na tional Executive Committee, the reports are that au active campaign will be . in augurated generally, and especially in! the States, of Indiana and New York, where Republican success is confidently predicted. From the State of Pennsylva nia, the reports are that the canvass is fairly open ; that no one is doing more for Republican success than ex-Speaker Galusha A. Grow, who it appears has entered the field early 'and earnestly; and, notwithstanding the desertion to the enemy or certain "dead ducks," there will be no defection in the ranks. At the headquarters of the National Veteran Club, active preparationfare be ing made for a grand Garfield and Arthur ratification to be held on the 19th instant. A large number of prominent speakers have promised to . be present and address the meeting which, froth presetit indica tion; will be fully equal 4, any thing of the kind that has been wittessed here for many a Clay. The various Republican or ganizations of the city have given notice that they will be in attendance in full force, and that they mean to - ratify in the full sense of the word very much to the disgnst and dishike of a certain class ,of cjLizent who, while they are content to eat the broad' of the Republican. party, have 00 word or wish rot its suocess. The member:4l'ot the Grand 'Artily of the Union and - Boys in Blue organizations do.not appear to take touch-stock in See:- Ittor Wattace'a little story that "be pre sumed, in the event. of General liatxsck's election, ,none of the old war veterans would be diaturbed ?,het are now • holding place by appointment. The ppeedy man neric in which ilisal led soldleii were kick ed - out of place by the Democracy when they had obtaine( control of both branch. : of th e Redone Legislature, to make room for the friends of the rebel , briga diers, is of too recent occurrence) to be qeito forgotten; consequently, all such dee'aritions deceive nobody. The fasting o4he Democratic party during tho past twenty yews dwarfs the fasting Doctor's attempt in New York to the merest in significance. Should such a thin.; be 'mai-. bie as the Democracy obtaining the con trol of the Goverment, there would bo Such an outpouring of patrhitic offiee seekers at the ;Capitol as has yet never been witnessed since the formation of the government—so hungry and clamorous , that not a vestige of anything that was ever Republican would be loft! to tell the tale. . -.-' - The great annual German Scheutzen fest is onto more in full blast ; and the arOna of r•ausage, limburger and lagei., and the blare of brass bands once more ervudes the- atmosphere. The . gates of their park. were opened to the public on ilfiCoulay last) when the festitiiies and the "troubles" began, and which, it' is ex .p.-eted, will continue up to, the close of tbe Week. As thisis the grelt German Willi) , for Wasiington, amting that class of our population, business is entirely sucpeLded, and I : the week devoted to; the enjwyment of the pastimes !.)f the Fadee lai,d. The fert, however, is not confined exclusively to Germans. Large numbers of thoso l *lio believe that "variety is the spice of lite," are always in attendance, , as•well as another class who seem to en joy and appreciate certain German tastes quite as well as if they were Germans and "to the manor born." 31.
