TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE , tlll V .OF PIIILADELPHI& The importance of securing and retaining an upright, intelligent and experienced Judiciary cannot be over estimated. The constitutional change from au appointed to an elective Judiciary was strongly opposed by many kirdent citizens, and was only adopted with much doubt and mistrust. This community not only has no reason to regret, hut, on the contrary, has abundant cause to con gratulate itself upon the success or that experiment. Pure and able men were induced to occupy the Bench, and at the end of their first term,.publle .opinion, rising superior to partisan considerations, demanded their reelection. The knowledgeand experience acquired by ten years' ser vice on the Bench are of such inestimable value that a -community properly alive to its true interests will na• tin - 14113 - demand that they shall continue to be exercised for its benefit so long as the incumbent may be able and walling to mi:rve. Not only is such the clear duty of the community to itself, on tho score of self-Interest, but it in no less a duty to the faithful,public servant who has toiled arduously and honestly, with but a Very inadequate com pensation during the greater part of the term, to recognize and reward his fidelity to hit:Official obligations, by re' -electing him to another term. It vr ill be the duty of the•electors of this city, next Octce her, to elect an Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, Quarter Sessions, Oyer and Terminer and Orphans' CLAIM to fill a vacancy to be caused by the expiration of —Judge Ludlow's term. The vast responsibilities, varied • duties and incessant labors of these courts are such as to require unwearied induatry,ample learning and inflexible integrity. When to these high qualifications aro added the great advantages of ten years' experience in tire dir charge of these delleate and difficult duties, .there would appear to be no question in any candid mind as to the ne. cessity of this community, with entire unanimity, de manding that Judge Ludlow should continue to serve it for another term with the same signal fidelity and ability that he has exhibited in the past. This should be done outside of and above the usual workings of mere Party machinery or nominating conventions of acknOßled:partisans,work-- ing for purely political results. The citizens, as such, and not as partisans, having largo interests at stake entirely dependent upon thu honesty, yinunees and ability of thu Judges, are requirud by every consideration of duty to examine'the qualifications of . candidates for this high office from a more elevated stand point of observation than a blind devotion to party. There are offices of profit enough with which to reward place . hunters for their political labors; let fitness and capacity be the only tests for the Judiciary. In this spirit and with these views, the undersigned, members of the Philadelphia Bar, entertaining the strongest convictions of the eminent fitness and capacity of Judge Ludlow for the high office which ho now tills with so much honor to himself and so much benefit to the community, cordially invite their fellow•citizens to secure their own best interests by reinecting him for another torso.

'Treasurer PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1861. T E INDIAN '46OIIIPIOSPON. The Indian .Commissioners, assembled at Lea venworth, Kansas. have been Investigating the Indian difficulties. Among other persons,. they examined Father Dc Smet, an old 'lndian mis sionary. A correspondent of the N. F. Herald, furnishes.bis testimony as follows : Statement of Father De Mulct. I will commence with the Yonktonais, who number probably about twenty-five hundred. Everything is looking advantageous there, pos sessing, as that tribe does, a very fine region of country. They have fields of wheat extending about four miles, which are in a very flourishing condition. Their example is doing much to ameliorate the condition of the tribes adjacent. Those cultivating fields are frequently visited by the relations of the Yonktonais from other tribes; who sec the advantages of cultivation. A fruitful source of trouble up there is that the promises made in former years have not been fulfilled. Had the Indians had the necessary imple ments they would have cultivated , a large extent of ground. At Fort Sully there were several hundred lodges. They manifested the rattle desire to cultivate the soil, and were waiting for their annuityhoods and for agricultural im plements. In the speeches of the chiefs at the council held with Generals Sully and Parker we constantlY found manifested a great desire for the withdraw 7 al of the soldiers. Of course, they spoke _alms& stopping_the-roads and,of..preventing steamers from ascending the river if their great father refused to listen to their complaints. All the Indians complained that the stipulations on the government's part were hardly ever attended to,or ' only partially. They complained of a great deal of wrong in that way: that the government• some times failed to send the goods, and that when they did send them only about one-third reached them. They also complained bitterly of the last captain who was in command of the fort (Fort Berthold). They charged that he treated them like slaves. In a speech of one of the chiefs he says they were in a starving condition. He men tioned the circumstances of a fht horse dying. The women and children in a state of semi-star vation, through their chief, begged the dead horse to eat. The officer in command refused to give it to them. and ordered his men to drag it to the river, which they did, and after breaking whole in the ice they.threw it in. They often waited for the slop to be thrown from the •kitchen, and the old women and children would lick it up to have something to strengthen theta selves: ,At such times hot water would be thrown over them. Their complaints on that score were very bitter. Question (by General Sanborn)—Whatportion of the bands do you consider as the head of the hostile party: Answer—The Onk-pa-pas, nearly all of Ahem. A great portion of the Brules,the Minnecongians, and a great many of the San tees, who are mixed up with the war party. One of the war chiefs (Iron Shell) expressed a wish that the soldiers should be withdrawn and the war closed on the Black Hills and on the Mia. souri. General Stilly told him the soldiers-were brought there for the misdeeds of the In dians; that the Sioux had killed women and chil dren, and the Great Father was obliged to send His soldiers,.and he 'would send them in great numbers unless they stopped committing -- - Question (by President Taylor)—Are any of the Santee Sioux mixed up with the war party Answer—l think a portion of those on Devil's Lake are. They do a great deal of mischief there —they and the half-breeds of the North.. Question—They live beyond the line? Answer—.-Yes, sir; sometimes they have a few wagons or carts to come to their, buffalo hunts twice a year. During the entire year they have their traders, who speculate in bringing ammuni tion and other goods within a short distance of Berthold. About a month ago they traded nineteen 'kegb of powder to the Sioux, andgave them guns and everything. They steal from the traders and from the government. They get their horses for a Wile, and do a great deal of mischief. They come on the American side. Question—Arc they in strong force? Answer—l have seen as many as twelve hun dred wagons and carts. They are vervetrong and brave. They are friendly to the trith3h flag. Wherever that flag Is seen by the. Sioux they re ceive it kindly. They are half-breed men that I am now speaking of. 4 suggest that as they are going to build a fort at Devil's Lake a great many of these men might be induced to leave the pale of British law, and by fair promises they could be formed into an army, which, would keen the Indians in order, as they are up to the tricks of the red man. Question—Do you think if, possible to assem ble the Crows and Sioux in any eountry, and by means of presents and government annuities to make them live in peaw with their white neigh bors? Answer—The beginning will be very diQlcult; I am afraid it will be very hard, if not impossible. Question—lt is a very favorite theory with members of Congress and others that there ought to be perhaps two large reservatious set apart, one in the region we have been speaking of, and another where the Cherokees are now, as it is thought best, to locate them on, yet all 114 , thin one great reservation or consolidation of land, embracing agricultural, pastoral and hunting grounds. If that is practicable, it would be very satisfactory to our people generally: Answer—lt would be very difficult in the be ginning. Question—Did the Indians ecmplain of any outrages perpetrated on them by soldiers or other whites? Answer—A chief_of the Monnedonjeans told me that one evening a young officer was left in charge of Fort Thompson, with-only about one bundreAl and thirty soldiers remaining. The officer went into the chief's tent, with a pistol in his hand, and told him that he carne for his wife. He had two wives, one of them young. The officer said, "If you make any resistance to it I .will shoot yon." The chief told him he was not a coward, and said, "I promised to keep the peace, and it is not for a woman I will break my word. Take the woman." The officer took her. A few days afterwards another officer was sent in his place. lie had taken her to Fort Sully. General Sully immediately apprized General Stanley of the statement of the Indian chief in regard to the ,matter, and I suppose it was inquired. into. This is the story of the Indian chief. Question—Do the Indians keep their promises? Answer—Generally, if nothing intervenes to make them break it. If they have made a pro mise to keep quiet, they will not break it nWess . something intervenes. Question—[by President Taylor)—Are they willing to receive religion ? Answer—There are thousands in the mountains who arc really examples to the Catholics them selves; they are practical in all they understand, and are very Strict in all their observances; if you. can make them sensible that anything is sinful before the Great Spirit, the Indian will rarely dare to commitit; in their wild ways they take scalps and commit all sorts of' mutilations on the bodies of their enemies; it was the same when we arrived in the mountains, but since they have understood it was hateful to the Great Spirit, they abandoned those practices and never go to war except in Self-defence. They receive teaching kindly, and aro very anxions to learn. The Flatheads are a line people. They fight :like lions when they are attacked. They will never attack first. We told.them that to go to war for the sake of scalping wee a sin before God, and they understood if at once. We told them that if they were in danger, or their prope they should invoke the aid of the Great Spirit,. and ' them would tight bravely... -one occasion more than two hundred Crows attacked them. The Flatheads:' were only thirty lodges. I. thought they, wotdd be all massacred Some were in fivpr of separating and escaping. The chief called 'them together and snit!—"l t et us keep • together; I will' fight" OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Answer—No, sir. I thought on one occasion I was a prisoner. Some Indiana appeared on a bluff near which I was riding with two men. I told my companions not to shoot, as we would gain nothing by doing so. I ran up-towards them, having on my large black gown, which I always wear when I travel in that country. They had heard of me, but had never seen me. As soon as they get near enough they shook my hands. I gave some of them some coffee. I then offered to go away. They took my bridle from my hands, and made me a sign to follow them. We all thought we were prisoners. I felt no uneasiness. 'fhey took me ten miles into the in terior, where their camp was. They led my horse at first, but when they saw I would follow, they let my bridle go. We saw the whole camp in mo tion. They were the Blackfeet Sioux, and were hostile at tLat time. The chief bad a very beautiful _path lo . robe, and when Illismounted plami-it on the ground: I thought he wanted to trade with it. I told them I was not a trader—that I never traded—that if I had anything they wished for I would give it to them. Before I had done speaking the chief took me by the hand and made I me sit on the robe. His men were all ready, and they picked me up and carried me a quarter of a . mile further in triumph. They placed me in the lodge of the chief, when they prepared a large feast. They bad a large kettle on the fire, with buffalo meat in It. The chief made a kind of a speech. saying it was the happiest day of his life that a man who svoke to the Great Spirit should come to see him. There were some forty in the lodge. and I stood up and made a prayer. asking the Great' Spirit to bless them. When I spoke they all raised their right hands on high and struck the ground with their feet. I asked him the meaning of that. He said, "We raise our hands to please the Great Spirit, and strike the foot because we are only crawling vermin on the ground." They then placed them selves before me, took from the kettle the best piece, cut it up into small pieces, and, according to their custom, I had to keep quiet and be fed by the chief. He took it up piece after plece,and put it into my mouth. I made a sign when I had had enough. I remained there all night. The chief gave me a trial to see if I had confi dence.

He placed the knife be fore my face and asked me whether I saw it. I told him I bad eyes to see. He said: "Are you not afraid?" I took his hand and placed it on my breast and asked him if my heart was beating fait. I said, "Why should I be afraid? you fed rue with your own hand. I know lam as safe as though was in the lodge of my brother." He thanked me and fold me he brought the knife to cut the hobbles of the horses, if he had found them hobbled, because we had nothing to fear. He remained with me .a great portion of the night. He tried me gib% way to see , if, after the reception they had given me, I would show any anxiety or fear. They are very cunning--in that way. I had no apprehension at all after being received in....gimp in that manner.: Wendell Phillips , Views on General Grunt's Acceptance of the War Office. (From the Anti.S)avery Standard of this week.) When men offer poor excuses for an act, be sure they have no good reasons to give. The journals betray a lurking distrust of the propriety of General Grant's act in assuming - the War De partment by the haste they make to invent poor excuses for it. They tell us the General was obliged, as a mili tary subordinate, to obey the President's order. It' the act was, without any doubt, a good one, why seek to excuse it on the ground of compul sion ? When Chase accepted the Chief Justice-- ship, nobody went about to find excuses for him. AL, gentlemen, this act of General Grant yon cannot think a good one, else you would not seek to rob him of its merit and make somebody else responsible for it. But we cannot do such discredit to,the leading journals of the Republican party as to suppose's they believe their own statements. Gen. Grant is the President's military. subordinate,—not civil one. The President has a right to order him to report for duty at Washington—to give advice on the Indian war—to sit on a military commission. All such orders Graut is obliged to obey. But the President has no.right to order Grant to paint the White House, to take charge of .its garden, prepare a report for the amendment of the tariff, or do any other chil duty. Now, the War Department is a civil office. These same journals allege that Johnson cannot remove Stanton, because that is forbidden by the Civil Oilice Tenure act, thus clearly confessing that the Secretaryship of War is a civil office; as, of course, it is. Mr. Johnson might, there fore, as rightfully order Grant to hoe potatoes behind the White House as to assume the Airdr Department, The journals know this. So does General Grant. Indeed, the_President in his communication to Grant does not order him, but "authorizes and empoweri" him to act as Secretary. - And- al though Grant's letter to Stanton speaks con fusav of the President's "directing me to as sume" the office, still he has sense enough to add, "In notifying you of my acceptance." Now, subordinates do not accept orderer; they obey them. Let us hear no more of Grant's being obliged to take this office as, .it was said, he was obliged to accompany Johnson on that disgraceful West ern tour. On both occasions such statements were only flimsy excuses invented by Grant's toadies, to cover up the mistakes and servility of their idol. Theoffering of such empty excuses gives us ,painful doubts of the mood in which Grant and his friends are at this moment. Congress repre sents the Republican party. Stanton belongs to it, that is his offence in Johnson's eyes. If Grant is a Republican, by what rule of party fidelity does he accept the office out of which Stanton has been turned simply for being a Republican? According to all well-known rules of parties, Grant declares himself not a Republican. Any one who remembers - Tyler's time will recall facts iiroving this. The President put Grant into Stanton's place only to divert public attention and soften the in dignation at Stanton's removal with the, content at Grant's appointment. Grant will serve to bridge over from Stanton to Steedinan, or some other hanger-on of the White House. No doubt the President intends to remove the District Commanders. Then lie sees Grant must either hold on and be responsible for it or resign and make way for some of Johnson's creatures. The only other alternative is that Grant Should submit to Sheridan's removal, and still hold office under the plea of preventing more mischief. This is the plea on which Stanton has remained in office. He has worn it to rags. This course- is a sacrifice of all personal honor. It degrades a man from a Cabinet officer into a spy. At such a time as Buchanan's last sLe months—the whole govenurtent honeycombed with treason—SUCh'a course is allowable as it Is In war. But in ordinary MAO no honorable man would stoop to IL In Ordinary times no theory of citizenship calls on a num to spy and listen under the windows, and stand: before the world resnotudhle for apolicy he abhors, , on. der, by stich degradation,, to serve his. country. die to serve ray country," said the old &Oman, "but I will not dos mean !thing . to them.

It is the presence of honest meat in, the crew that enables it to do mischief.

Presideutt (aceoiding to what is asserted to be his private opinion): "Sir,you have no authority tao suspend Stanton, and denying that right, as wel as de tecting the policy which leads you to wish his faitiVenslon, I decline to accept the place," John son could not have suspended Stanton. Clieered, taught and sustained by such an act on Grant's part, the public would have exhibited such Imo*. nation at Johnson, and such approval of Grant's gallant fidelity to his comrade and his principles; as to have overawed Johnson. If after that he had dared to suspend Stanton ? no decent man , would have accepted the post; and the moment Congress assembled Johnson would have ceased to reign. To-day Grant is the staff which bolds up the traitor President. Without him Johnson could' neither stand ncir walk.. Grant to-day enables the President to go on and remove Sheridan. It will be in vain for Grant to resign when the act is done, and cry out, "I disapprove."

The Feeling in New Orleans—The Gen. emits 'Reception of , the Nears—The ork Accomplished in Louisiana— .' lie Rebel Sheriff of View Orleans to be Removed. (From the New York Tribune of to-day.] WAMIINGTWV. Wednesday, Aug. 21.—Friends of Gen. Sheridan who have arrived here this evening direct from New Orleans ; state that that Mincer received an unofficial despatch late on Saturday evening from Washington, informing him that the fter for his removal would be issued on Tuesday. He received the news very coolly ; remarking to friends pre sent that he felt satisfied that he had simply done his duty as an officer , of the United States Government, and was sorry that his supe nor officers should find fault with him. His order apportioning the State of Louisiana, into election districts and appointing a day for an election of delegates to the contemplated State Convention, was only Islsued Saturday noon, and Alien he had completed it and given it for publication he re marked that by the first of New Year the State would undoubtedly be ready to present her new Constitution to Congress for, approval, and then his task, as far as Louisiana was concerned, would be completed. Scf particular was he about hhving the election districts cor rectly apportioned, so that each portion of the State should be fairly represented, that he had several members,of his staff make a tear through the whole State, visiting, every county, consult ing with the citizens, and using every means to have the thing done fairly. When the order had been Issued he - said that he felt he had Stashed his task with Louisiana, and would immediately turn his whole attention to Texas. He had con templated an immatiate tour 4f inspection into the latter State• for the purpose of seeing .for himself exactly hew matters stood. His latest advices from the General commanding in that State were that a better feeling existed than heretofore,.and that the removal of Throekmor ton and other rebel officials had cowed and: sub— dued the rebel element:. The General kept the news of his removal quieti and it was not known but by a few until published in the newspapers. It is thought he will make one more removal before he retires, that of • General Harry Hays from the position of Sheriff. Hays was a rebel soldier, but .has been conducting himself satisfactorily until lately, when, his alleged, he joined with Rousseau and Steeffinan in .ffenoun dug Sheridan, and urging.. prominent citizens of the State to hold • back and 'not support the Reconstruction Act. The Unionists of New Orleans feel very bitter •at Rousseatt4i • conduct while he was in that city. They say he was hob nobbed and feasted by the rebel. element, who hosted that Rousseau ,brought news- from head quarters (meaning Washington) which assured them that the Congress plan of Reconstruction would be abandoned if, they, held out stubbornly ; and that Sheridan. would be removed, and a man put in his place who would use Johnson's • inter pretation of.the law. A number. of prominent Union'men of the city are preparing. charges against Rousseau .and lateedman, for hindepng Reconstruction, which they intend presenting jointly to Gen. Grant and Congress at the next session. It was hinted that Rousseau had re mained many days longer in New Orleans, he would have been placed under arrest and tried under the provisions of the Reconstruction law, which make it a felony to interfere with. its pro secudon. THE CUBA CABLE. Telegraphic Communication. Estab. nailed by Key West and Havana. KEI WEsT, Fla., August 18. 1867.—After many disheartening difficultie. , and persistent but for a time unrewarded labors, the lost Cuba cable has been recovered. The cable steamer, after having been engaged for several days in dragging with grapnels in the vicinity of the place where the cable parted, which was marked out by buoys placed Immediately after parting, was finally rewarded to-day by fastening to it. It was dragged to the surface amid the cheers of those engaged in the work, and firmly secured. The weather being favorable, a perfect splice was made,' and the stout sine was again committed to the deep. On being tested, it• was found perfect throughout its entire length.

Donations were solicited by tale lady managers of the Colored Home with the assurance that when a certain amount was, raised• the afghan should be sent to John Bright, as a memorial of the great interest he had taken in the cause of freedom: ROCHDALE, July 8, 1867..—Dear Madam.: I write to thank you and the ladles associated with. you as the managers of the "National Associa tion for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children," for the very handsome and valuable present you have forwarded to me. The afghan is much admired here, but its value is im mensely increased, because it once belonged to your great and good President. I feel much indebted to the ladles who had me in their kind remembrance, and who have sent me this beautiful gift. I have great satisfaction in reviewing the course I took in reference to your great struggle, and often lament that it was not taken by all my countrymen.

This is needful for the good of the two countries, and for the good of all the world. • With many thanks to yourself, and to the la dies who are connected with you, and to all con cerned in the purchase of the gift which you have forwarded to me, and Which my family will al ways so, greatly value, .
