NATIONAL TICKET, President Gen t ULYSSES EL GRANT, OF THE UNITED STATE& Vice President: SOHU YLER 0 COLFAX, OF INDthNA. '''' 'g`.DATE TICKET Auditor General : Gen. JNO. F. HARTRANET, OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY Surveyor General Gen. JACOB M. CAMPBELL, OF CAMBRIA COUNTY PUBLIC OPINION. Public opinion is a power that needs, at all times, to be set in. motion with extreme cau tion. Like fire, it is a good servant, but, if misdirected, a terrible master. In a free country like this, where individual opinion is so ready to assert itself, and where a popu lar thought or feeling so quickly fastens itself upon the community at large and becomes an active force, there is great responsibility reposed in those whose positions in society enable them either to originate or to consoli date public opinion. Most of all is the exer cise of, such power dangerous when it is exerted'in contravention of the ordinary pro cesses of law; when it is brought to bear upon the verdicts of juries, or the senteuc s of courts• And yet there are cases arising in every large community where public opinion must and will step in even between the law and its victims, interfering with the execution of its sentence, not because of any want of reve rence for law, but out of a high regard for justice, or for mercy. And, to .the honor of the American people, it should ever be noted that public opinion—a genuine, spontaneous, general public opinion on such occasions is almost sure to be right. In a community like that of Philadelphia, for instance, there is such a deep recognition of all the preroga tives of law that it is ordinarily impossible to manufacture a spurious public senti ment in relation to any regular de cision of a jury or of a court. The instincts of the people have been trained for generations to a high appreciation of the majesty of law, and therefore it may be as sumed, with much safety, that where public opinion does demand a suspension or rever sion of the sentence of the law, there is a sound reason at the foundation of it. Recognizing this principle, it is , not diffi cult to discriminate between the responsibility of mere demagogues who, reckless of all con sequences, are ready to stir up the flames of public sentiment and direct them to wicked and incendiary purposes, and the careful, con scientious influence of those who direct the steady power of public opinion toward the correction of some public or personal wrong, which may have been done, from any cause, with all the formalities tad sanctions of law- The arrest of the execution of Alfred Alex anderPsfwhich was to have taken place to-day, is an ekample of the power of a properly di rected public sentiment. Governor Geary, sustained, undoubtedly, by the advice and opinions of his constitutional counsellors, re cognizes, as every good and honest executive officer will always do, not the clamor of a mob, or the demands of a party, but the sober, earnest, intelligent expression of an unmistakeable public opinion. He has been influenced to reprieve Al fred Alexander, not by the sentimental platitudes of "the Hon. Marvin H. Bovee, of Wisconsin," who fills columns of the Inquirer, this morning, with the most absurd attempts at argument and appeal for the abolition of capital punish ment, but by the power of the popular con viction, here at home, that such doubts exist in the case of this prisoner as make it wrong to hang him. The people of this Common wealth have entrusted the Governor with the high responsibilities of pardon and of re prieve, and, ordinarily, they leave those powers confidently in his hands. When an emergency of life and death arises, and the people feel that the sentence of the law may possibly result in a fatal wrong, they call upon the Executive, as they have done in this case, and Pennsylvania is never likely to have a Governor who% ear is deaf to the reasonable appeals of the people, or whines heart is shut to the promptiotta of justice, humanity and mercy. FIRES. The same report of the Board of Direc- Ore of the Royal Insurance Company, recently made to the shareholders and published in the columns of the BULLETIN within a few days, not only furnishes valuable information to those whose interests lie in its prosperity, but. siyu twain latgatipg fact 4 and igigge4;i4ll,d upon the general subject of conflagrations. In Ihigland, according to tbe report 'of the Board, there his been a great falling off in the number and severity of fires. This gratify ing decrease the Board attributes to the les sening of the crime of arson, from the'number of convictions that have taken place, and the consequent dread of detection—a revision of the rates of premium on certain classes of risks—the additional caution arising from the heavy losses by Insurance Companies'during the last three or four years—and the prospec tive influence of further,legislative protection against incendiarism by Judicial Investigation into suspicions fires. The operation of these causes has accomplished excellent results in England,' and where English examples may be followed with advantage in our own country, the experience gained by such com panies as the Royal should be profited by. In Philadelphia, and in fact, throughout the United States, there has been the same remarkable decrease in the number and de structiveness of serious fires for several months past. During the last three months the losses by fire have been G 6 per cent. be low the usual average. In Philadelphia this comparative immunity from loss has been attributed, by observing persons, to several different causes, among which may be named reforms injhe Mode of building,more efficient fire apparatus, better subordination and or ganization in the Fire Department, and last, but not least, a. thorough investigation into the Origin of every fire, great or small, and the*untiring pursuit of every person charged with the' crime of arson. In respect to building,there is still much room for improve ment, although the building-laws have ac complished great good. In conversation within a few days with an intelligent officer of one of our largest insu rance companies upon this subject, he re marked that destructive fires ran in circles. By some mysterious law, fires in San Fran cisco are followed by conflagrations at St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul; New York Boston and Portland are apt to follow suit. Then come Philadelphia,, Baltimore, Savan nah and New Orleans, until the circle is com pleted, and firemen and underwriters have a periodical respite. This theory may be cor rect; but it is not a necessity that Philadel phia should take her turn in being ravaged by fires. We would rather trust fire-proof roofs, parapet walls and a thorough firedepartment, than the chances of fires being either epidemic or endemic. •46INCH ONA CULTURE . There need be-no longer any fear of a de ficient supply of Quinine to meet the world's wants for the cure of so many diseases in which its use is indispensable. The Cinchona tree, the bark of which, everywhere called Peruvian, furnishes this its chief alkaloid,has been transplanted from its native home of South America to India, Ceylon, Java and Jamaica. It was introduced into India in 1867 by Mr. Markham, and at the end of 1868 there were upwards of 1,500,000 Cinchona plants in the government plantations on the Neilgherry Hills, besides many others under cultivation by companies and private indi viduals. It is the intention of the Indian Government to plant 1,200 acres with Cin chona trees, and to keep 1,000 acres as a reserve for further planting, if it should be considered desirable hereafter. Many hun dreds of acres will soon be planted in addi tion, boll in the Neilgherries and other, dis tricts, by English capitalists as well as by natives, and the Cinchona on the hills, like the teak on the lower slopes and in the plains, will tend to mitigate the effects of clearing by the cutting down of forest trees and the dimin ished fall of rain thence resulting. The beautiful foliage of the Cinchona trees which, after four years of growth, are twenty feet high, will be as effectual, in the opinion of Mr. Markham, as the trees- they have sup planted in preventing evaporation, regu lating drainage and receiving the moisture which is precipitated from the passing clouds. The conversion of, the wild South Ameri can Cinchona plants into cultivatei Indian ones has been so successful that whereas the largest yield of' febrifuge alkaloids (quinine, cinchonine, &c.), is from 3to 5 per cent., the bark grown in India, though only three years old, has already given the unpreceden ted result of I I per cent.! Cinchona bark will ere long form an important item in the list of Indian exports, after its large use by the people of the hill districts, who are dec.- mated by fever. At a meeting of the American Medical Association, last year, the attention of the Government was invited to the subject of its planting Cinchona trees in districts which suitable inquiry would show to be adapted to the purpose. Retrenchment is a very good thing, but spasmodic fits or retrenchment, that are fol lowed by equally sudden attacks of extrava gance, do not come up to the correct stand ard of good and judicious financial manage ment. Besides, there is a good deal in the time that is chosen for the exercise of the virtue of economy, and not a little in the class of persons who are chosen as objects. Mr. McCulloch, the Secretary of the Treas ury, is a case inopoint. Not long since he resolved on swallowing the Seymour and Blair pill, a dose for which he has long been preparing by a course of Andrew Johnson gar gle. Having determined upon bolting the pill, he has since declared his inten tion of using his official power and patronage to seoure the success of the Demo cratic candidates. To this end he has sud denly awakened to the conviction that there are more hands than are necessary in the va rious Custom-houses, and the work of re form has been commenced. Some depart ments have been abolished in 'tot% in others the official force has been greatly reduced, and in yet others double duties. have been imposed upon single officers. In the New York Custom House alone one hundred and eight men have been compelled to walk the plank, and all over the country the ace is falling. All these victims, of course, are Re publicans. In a little while end-in ample time for the purposes of the election, it will be dis covered that Uncle Sam is short-handed in the customs department, and there will have to be a batch of new appointments.

The present photograph has a more sympathetic and narrative subjech it is called "The Organist's Widow," and consists of seven Egures. A blonde girl, in a simple and virginal costume fit for our conceptions of Marguerite, Is playing one of the dead musician's melodies upori a small organ set in an alcove of his late home; her figure is illuminated by the level rays of sunset. In the foreground, in som bre black, sits the widow, listening as the familiar airs, with all their associations, come from a stranger's hand. The thought is made out with the painter's deepest feeling, unspoilt by exag geration or sentimentality. The tone and com position are of particular beauty. CONFECTIONERY. FOR FALL TRADE.

Evening Bulletin I WA!+lilliGTON, Sept. 7th, 186e.—1 desire to ad dress a tow words of warning to the Republicans of Pennsylvania, to urge them to spare no exer tion to carry the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania at the October election. The Macedonian cry for " help!" " help!" which is constantly coming up from the faithful Republi cans of the South 15 one not to be considered lightly. There Is far-more significance in it than most people in the North Imagine, who go to their beds at night with a sense of security and peace. But it is very different with the Southern Unionists. My intercourse with prominent Democrats here gives me opportunities of learn ing their sentimer Es and future calculations, and I therefore propose to state what their pro gramme will be; in the event of the election of Seymour and Blair. In the first place, they all deny the legality of the reconstruction acts of Congress, and if Sey mour should be elected, then they propose to un seat all the present Southern State governments, not by violence, but by setting up other govern ments, " according to the will of the people," as they express it, and the existing governments will be quietly ignored, and the "carpet-baggers" driven out of the State, or murdered like poor Ashburn. This is Frank Blair'e openly expressed policy. With Seymour elected they will find a willing instrument in President Johnson to carry oat these revolutionary plans, as his views of the un constitutionality of the reconstruction accord with those of Lee, Beauregard it Co., who only ask "to be lot alone," and demand "the right of st If-government." The election of Seymour will be construed by these plotters and the President as an endorsement by the people of the uncon stitutionality of the reconstruction acts,and hence they will not scruple to overturn all the State Governments established under these acts, even before the 4th of March next. - But,* you will say, they cannot override the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, recently adopted, as that guarantees citizenship, the inviolability of the national - debt, ttc. The best answer tb this is the action of the Georgia' Legislature, in to:mat ing the colored members, in open and flagrant violation of the amendinent referred to. This has been done already, and is only the commence ment of a series of similar acts by which the ex rebels will show their utter contempt for the lowa and "the Constitution," which they profess to reverence, but would break in pieces the first opportunity. I propose now to speak of the other part of their programme, in case Grant is " illegally elected," as they term it.. That is, if Grant should not be elected by a clear majority of all the non seceding States, but by counting the votes of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, or some others of the reconstructed States, to makeup his majority, then they threaten to make trouble; and some oven go solar as to say they will ‘lnght" against this usurpation. It will be remembered that Vir ginia, Texas and Mississippi are "counted out" ba the electoral college, under the late law of Con gress;,but the Democrats are making the most tremendons efforts to get' up electoral tickets in those States- for Seymour and Blair, solely for mischief, as they openly declare that if Seymour and Blair should be elected with these Rtates, they will forcibly mist every effort to "disfranchise them." The times are fraught with danger and peril, for the rebel spirit is as rife now as it was in 1861, and it only wants an excuse, or justifica tion, to break out into open violence. The peo ple of Tettnsylyania cannot afford to allow 'the,. traits of the late war to be- wasted, and another rebellion to be warmed into life through their apathy, and the surest way to prevent such a catastrophe is to make Pennsylvania secure for the Republicans in October next by an over whelming majority, which they can do if they will only work, and in this way. the question will be soak(' permanently by ballots instead of bullets, .N.

This declaration is made directly in the , face of the fourtosnth amendment, the closing section of, which says that "Congress shall have power t. , 3 enforcrilhis amendment by appropriate legislation."

Diehl, of Second District, and Colit ctoiCharles Abel of First District, were both here today, concerning the regulation of tobacco horded warehouses for the city Phila delphia. It seems that, the:matter of devising some system,of reducing the number of bonded warehouses was referred to Collector Diehl, who has been laboringlo produce. this result, but without success, owing to the , conflicting interests of those engaged ill thetrade. Mr. J. Rinaldo Sank also came down on . the same errand, and be and. Collector Diehl laid the ants ject before Commissioner Rolllns. Collector Abel came to protest against Collector Diehl being charged with managing these bonded ware houses, which are nU situated in Collector Abel's district. Abel had an interview with Secretary McCulloch on the subject, bat what transpired is not'known. ; An effort Le being made to have the office of Superintendent of Erporta abolished, and the duties performed by one of the Revenue Colley, tors, but nothing will be done till a legal deeb3lon is had upon the case. SUSQUEHANNA. QITY : BUI LLTRBN. lIOIIIIIIILE OUTRAGE IN THE NINE. /MANTEL' WAISD. • A Lando Girl Murdered and Thrown Into a 'Brick Pond. A little girl named Mary Merman, aged six years, was sitting on the steps of the resi dence of her mother. No. 2416 Orkney street, In the Nineteenth Ward, on Sunday even ing lst. About eight o'clock, a tall, slim man, with a black whiskers, came along and inquired for Dauphin street. He was told, and then appeared to be confused, and remarked that be did not think that be could find the way. Ho asked the dhild to show him. oho at once got up to comply with hisrequest, and started with the man,accompanied by two otherchiklren who reside in the neighborhood. After proceed ing a short distance the two children left the party. A half-hour passed and little Mary did not re turn: Her mother became anxious and made in quiries about her, but nothing could be ascer tained In regard to ber whereabouts. Another hour rolled by and still there was no appearance of the child. The whole night the mother watched patiently, bat the little girl did not reach home. During the whole of yesterday the search and inquiries were continued, but without avail, and Mrs. Merman was In the greatest distress about the prolonged absence of ber little one. This morning an Eleventh District policeman was passing a brick pond above Susquehanna avenne,,between Fifth and Sixth streets, and ob served an object In the. water,which was not over twelve Inches in depth. The officer searched and found the body of a child, which afterward turned pat to that of the missing Mary Merman. The body was conveyed to the Eleventh Dis trict Police Station, and the Coroner was notified. The location of the pond where the body was found is lonely, and but few houses are located in that immediate vicinity. An examination of the body was made. On the back of the head were several cuts. The right arm was dislocated, and had evidently been twisted. The neck also appeared to have been dislocated. The skirts of the little one were stained with blood, and it is supposed that her person had been outraged. Everything about the 'body gave indication that the little girl had been most brutally dealt with. The finding of the body and its condition soon became known, and caused the greatest excite ment among the people of the Nineteenth Ward. The women were particularly severe in their denunciation of the diabolical outrage, and if the perpetrator of the horrible crime had been within their reach, he would have ,heen torn to pieces without any mercy whatever. As soon as be received notice, Coroner Daniels summoned a jury, and proceeded to the Elevenlh' District Police Station, and viewed the body. No time has yet been fixed for the inquest. Dr. E. B Shapleigb. the Coroner's physician.took charge of the body this afternoon, for the pur pose of making a post-mortem examination. Chief Lemon, of the Detective force, was noti fied of the affair, and detailed Officers J. R. Stephens and E. K. Tryon to investigate it. Those officers are now at the scene of the out rage, endeavoring to ferret out a clue to the per petrator of the deed. Such a horrible and atrocious murder has rarely occurred in Philadelphia, and it is to be hoped that the efforts of the police to find the murderer will be crowned with success. PERSO.NAL.—Alexander Kerr, Esq., one of onr most estimable and successful merchants, who has been absent In Europe for several months past, returned to his home yesterday afternoon. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Sept. B.—An affray occurred in a Broadway stage yesterday. Two men claimed each to be the husband of a lady present, and in discussing the question somewhat angrily pistols were drawn. The men were both arrested before they could fire, however, and on being taken be fore Justice Ledwith were bound over to keep the peace. The two. with the fair casus belli be tween them, then departed together in the same carriage. Commiesloner Osborn yesterday committed Jose Ferrer de Conto, editor of El Croniea, for trial, on the charge of assaulting Mr. Ignacio Gomez, the NiCaraguan Minister. The bail was fixed at $l.OOO. Beverly Clark, who is charged, in connection with other parties, with conspiracy to defraud the United States Post Office Department, by having audited and paid bills for goods never delivered, was held by Commissioner Osborn yes terday in 510,000 bail to await examination on Wednesday next. The investigation in the case of Commissioners Rollins and Harlan, and Messrs.

There are large sums seeking Investment in "call loans". at 4.X to 6 per cent., and short first,class paper, is in demand at 6 per cent. Obligatioml, hovrever, having over sixty or ninety days to mature are generally rejected. In trade circles there is a little better feeling, but the September business thus far is not up to general anticipations. There was a fair business at the Stock Board this morning, and all the better classes of bonds were steady. Govenmient Loans were quiet. The War Loan sold at 10231. City 6e, new issue, were firm at 10334. Lehigh Gold Loan was a fraction higher. Reading. Railroad declined X, and closed at 95.81.

Market. [From the New York Herald of to•da9.l BErrEarnurt 7.—The goltr market has been rather quiet to-day, and the fluctuations prior to the adjournment, of the board at three o'clock were from 144% to 145, with the closing trans - 30.1013 S at 144%, but subsequently sales were made as low as 144( t . following which there was a recovery to 144%, and. the latest quotation on the street was 144%@144%. The 'short" inte rest outstanding is so heavy that the bears offer a vigorous resistance to the upward tendency of the premium, and hence it Is kept lower than it otherwise would be by arti ficial means. There was an - active borrowing demand for. coin and loans were made at rates varying from a half to three per cent. for carrying and without interest to either borrower or lender, the majority of transactions being "flat." The gross clearings' amounted to• $40,920,000. the gold balances to $1,587.075 and the currency balances to $2,342,273. The Sub- Treasury disbursed' $94,859 in coin payment of Interest on the public debt during the day. The imports of specie at the port last week aggre gated $679,601, making a total of $5,635,710 since the first of January. The market for Government securities was firm at the opening, and there were large trans actions in the later issues of five , twenties at an advance upon the closing prices of Saturday. At the noon and quarter-past two calls prices were well supported, but there was diminished activity. There Is no change to note in the money market, which remains extremely easy, loans on call being made freely at three and four per cent, while commercial paper Is in very limited supply and the best grade is rated at'from five to seven per cent. The banks report that the drain of currency westward is on a considerably-reduced scale, and not the slightest monetary derangement is anticipated from the preparations of the banks throughout the country for their quarterly returns, which will be made on the first Monday in October. The indi cations continue favorable to a more abundant supply of money during the remainder of the year than we bad in the corresponding period of 1866, and then it was only in the last three weeks of December that the rate of interest ruled steadily at seven per cent., the previous rates having been five and six, two or three short intervals ex cepted, when it temporarily rose to seven. lFrom to. day's New York World.] SEPTEMBER 7.—The magnitude of the demand for our government bonds in Europe during the last three months, and to which latest advises seem to fix no limit, so far from being extraor dinary, as many here imagine, is in stnct accord-. ante with the popular sentiment and the course of financial events in Europe. The Government bond market was strong throughout the day, the demand running chiefly on the new bonds. The foreign bankers have considerable orders to exchange old bonds for the new, and the result of this foreign demand is a further rise to 109 to 1093 for new 1865 s and 18675, and 1e9;4, to 109, 1 1 ( for'lB6Bs. The money market is easy - at 3to 4 per cent. on call, and discounts range from 6X to 7 per cent. The foreign exchanze market is quiet, and prime bankers' sixty day sterling range from 109 X to 1093(, with no transactions reported at the higher figure, and other good bankers' at 108 k to 109. Tlie gold markot ranged from 144% to 145, closing at 3P.M. at 144%. The rates paid for carrying were ;4, 1 2, 3 and 13! per cent. to flit.
