It Is reported that the appointaient of Gavin H Woodward as inspector of tobacco, snuff and cigars was secured through the recommendation of Thomas B. Florence, the Democratic candi date for Congress In theSeeond District. Wood ward is known to be a staunch Republican, hav ing been a delegate to the convention which re nominated Ron. Marks O'Neill, consequentlymuch surprise is expressed that Florence should have endorsed him. At all events, it-bids fair to raise a dispute between Florence and Samuel J. llandall,• candidate for Congress in the First District, who to-day went •to the Treasury Department and protested irgainst the appointment of Woodward, and ailed that his appointment be revoked, because be was a Republican. Randall maintains that all political appointments should be given to Demo crats only, as the administration is fully commit ted to the Democratic party, and all Its patronage ebould be distributed to its friends. The appoint ment of Woodward was made by Secretary McCulloch with full' knowledge that ha was a Republican, but the Secretary intended it as a concession to show that he was not strictly parti non in making such appointments,.

Close, Esq., in,charge of the con struction of the 'United States Appraiser's Ware houses, on Dock and Second streets, was here a few days ago, in consultation with Superintend ent Mullett, concerning the condition of the ap propriation for the new warehouses, which is nearly exhausted. The work must stop in a few weeks if more money is not advanced, but when the appropriation is exhausted there seems to be no possible way in which the work can be con tinued until an additional appropriation is made. Ralf of the last appropriation of s7o,ooo,made to wards finishing the building, was expended and duo'before the appropriation was made, which left it small margin for the farther, prosecution of the work. Cotaplaint is made that letters mailed here both at the I'ostoffice and put in the postal cars in the evening for Philadelphia, which should be delivered early' the following morning in your city, are sometimes not delivered till late in the afternoon of the succeeding day. Who is to blame? This has been the case several times with letters from your correspondent. Royal Insurance Company. This week's mail from Liverpool brings us news of the lamented death of -Percy Matthew Dove, Esq., Manager and Actuary of the Royal insurance Company. He died at Liverpool on the 44th August." We copy from the Liverpool l'ost, of the slate of the 2Mla August, the follow ing particulars, and deserved eulogy "DEATH 01' PERCY M. DOVP., ESQ. "Deep regret was felt all over Liverpool when it was announced that Mr. Percy M. Dove, the manager of the Royal Inimrance Company, had died at his house in Claughton, aged sixty-five. "Mr: Dove early entered the office of the Royal Exchange Company in London, and ascended to the rank of deputy-manager. His high charac ter and great ahffity 'recommended him to nu• merous capitalists .in Liverpool, who had re solved in 1843 to establish the Royal Insurance Company in this townr—Of-that great-and- BlM cessful company Mr. Dove was usually, consid ered the founder. He had great industry, inces sant application, and a power of organization possessed by very few. Ma heart and soulwere in the business, and his --- devotion might be said never to rest, night or day.. He excelled in what might be called the art of giving publicity to the merits of the ,company, for he subsidized the arts and the press, and the result, has been the creation of n institution which has acquired an immense business and undoubted confidence, and realized a most enviable position. For all this the company is unquestionably indebted to Mr. Dove,who was at once manager and actuary. Bo extensive was his deserved reputation in re ference to the great business of insurance, that he was constantly consulted by the directors of other insurance companies; and his knowledge not only in that department of business, bat in 'every other; was always at the service of friends. "The lamented deceased was so full of energy and what might honestly be _ealled_genius, that the demands of the office did not prevent him cul tivating a large:and fine literature_and.. the arts. - His knowledge of one department of the, arts:was very extensive and very correct. He was an admirable judge of 'ancient engrav- Inge, rind of these he had accumulated some of the"finest specimens existing. Once or twice he gratified the"public of Liverpool by exhibiting them at, we believe, the town hall and in the free library,- and, he` delighted in showing these fine specimens supplemented by valuable and beau- Will Paintings, to visitors at his residence on the other side of the river. He was not exactly a public man, butte has sometimes appeared in public whee otherslhought his presence on - the platform would be usiefuL, Ills health, usually good, seemed to give assurance of.long life, _but an internal disease some time. ago gave great un easiness, and unfortunately in a very brief period proved fatal. In private life. the society of _Mr. Dove was ardently - desired; and his unexpected demise has carried 'sorrow far beyond his .own relatives—into large circles who appreciated the man for his personal worth and- high quplities." se9l.2t rp§ AMPECLETI3_WASTEI Hur4R.

These figures make the aggregate vote of the State 128,340 against' 103,763 last year—an in crease of 24,577. This is the largest vote. ever cast in the State, the next largest having been 119,026 in 1863. The Republicans last year cast 57,649 and the Democrats 46,805 votes.

Democratic Outrage and Attemaipted The Newark Advertiser of yesterday sage: For some time past a number of the most re spectable citizens of Belleville, a pleasant and important suburb of Newark, have received threatening letters, written in red ink, with a lithographed skull and cross bona at thelead, and signed as wove them below. These letters were only laughed at, as it was deemed absurd to suppose that they could be in earnest. The events of last night show that they have a real meaning. Last evening Lieut. Bynner, who is a merchant doing business in New York,, but residing in Kearney, on the east side of tke river, opposite Belleville, was waylaid as he was leaving Mr. Little's house, where he had been passing the evening, and mocked down with a slung-shot by an enemy whom he only saw for an instant. Be fell insensible, and was probably left for dead. After about half an hour of unconsciousness •he revived, and badly stunned and covered with mud, walked back and aroused Mr. Little, who had retired. Be was without his hat and cane, and seemed somewhat bewildered, but said he had been as saulted. Alr;Little took his lantern and gun, and went down the carriage road, where he found - the bat and cane. Returning, when within 200 feet of his house, he saw an , object on the ground, whichproved to be a nistol. The pistol is a Frank Wesson, two barrel revol ver, new and bright, and loaded. On the silver mounting of one side it is marked "K. K. K." On the reverse are scratched a dagger and bal let. On ono side of the butt it is marked "A. J." or perhaps Q. J." the mark being indistinct. On tba other is engraved "Death to Yankees." The latest development was the finding in the vicinity of the outrage, by a lad, at ati early hour this morning, the following Ku-Klux Klan order, or message Mettle— Meet at old rendezvous to-night. Bring your regalia and M. Imp. bus., 0. N. 0. Is going to fix the young lieut. sure to-night. after which Little's barn will be lighted. Keep shady. BP. Barn at 12 P.

Sunday, Sept. 20, '6B. This shows that the killing of Lieut. Bynner was Intended,' and that it failed only by the blunder or cowardice of his assailant. The burn ing of Mr. .Little's barn was doubtless defeated by his being about with a gun and lantern after the alarm. Our authority is so ample that we are compelled to vouch for the existence of this in credibly shameful state of affairs. We derive oar information from Mr. 'Little, Lieut. Bynner, whose forehead is badly marked, from Captain Blewett and from Mr. fianatel H. Terry. We need not add that the people of Belleville are deeply incensed at this villainous manifestation of the brute element ha Democratic politics. The hour is too late for further comment, except that we might add that some weeks ago a well-mown Democrat In this city informed us that the Ku- Klux had then an organization In this city, hut that it contemplated no violence, and was a very orderly and respectable secret society. By its fruits we know it. Busqumtzm.k.

ATLANTA, Sept. 21, 1868.—0 n Saturday last Colonel Pierce,Republican candidate for Congress from the Second District, and Captain Murphy, Republican Presidential elector, went to Camilla, Mitchell county, in the southwestern .part of the State, to speak at a public meeting which had previously been announced. When near the town they were met by the sheriff of the county, who informed them that the people would not allow a radical to speak in Camilla. ,They per sisted, however, and on reaching the Court House they and their frienth3_were_assaulted by a mob. Colonel Pierce is dangerously shot, Captain Mur phy is' badly hurt, and many more, of. the Repub licans were killed and wounded. A large ma jority of the Retiablicami were colored Men, who, obedient to Governor "Bullock's proclamation of the 14th inst., had left their arms at home. They were beaten and shot down almost• without any resistance. Official reports place the number of killed and wounded at fifty. Among the victims are p, colored:woman and her infant. ^ These.out rages are being perpetrated all over the State. Governor Bullock sent a strong message to the Legislature this afternoon; • accompanied by an official report of the riot from Major. Howard, United States Army, commanding the ""Bub-dis trict, and recommending the Legislature to call .on the President for troops to suppress the inane , rection'and enforce the laws of the State.. - After reading the message the following preamble and resolutions were offered in the Senate end House by the Republicans: 117tereas, The laws of the United States prevent PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, `SEPTEMBER;' 22, 'lB6B.

I find this county (Frank lin) very much infested with the Scala wags, Carpet-baggers Co. I will be in Lynch:mu., Va.; soon, and then I will more fully elucidate my political life. .I find the negro still fool enough to entertain Grant and Colfax sentiments, but all enlightened classes are crying hurrah for Seymour and Blair.

An indignantlrishman of Cleveland, Mr. David Barry, puelishes a card in the Leader, of which we annex thecloaing paragraph: , "But drunk or' sober s joking or in earnest, Mr. Frank Blair.will find oat to his cost that the St. Louis "Finnegan" speech will prove the sorest thorn in his side when fife final returns come to be footed up. As an Irishman, I here declare I would as soon vote for that arch-traitor Jeff: Davis; or Benjamin Disraeli of England, as for ninon who could so heartlessly trifle with the most "cherished feelings of our race ; and, gen tlemen, I will go still further, and say that the Irishman who can tamely swallow down such an insult to his country and her heroic efforts to be tree, without resenting it at the ballot box next November, Is destitute of all public spirit, dead to the claims and sufferings of his motherland, and is anything but an honor to the proud, defi ant, sensitive old raee whence he sprung." —The Memphis A ralanche, of September 6th, rejoices thusly over negro fraternity and equality : " The work goes bravely on. Our colored speakers are doing great good. Twelve months ago there was not a single colored Democratic Club in Tennessee. There is now one in every county in this district, and we may say a colored club in almost every district in each county. Lawrence Jones, a colored speaker. is doing good service. * * At Gnm Grove, eight miles trim Memphis,'there was a large and en thusiastic assemblage of people, white, and colored, yesterday. The object was political speaking, a basket dinner, and the formation of o olored Democratic club. At least 2,000 people were present, and the arrangements made by the committee were each as to provide for all who Desired to partake of the feast of 'good things' provided for the physical man.

INIISIC AND TIED DJEIAMLAL• 44 Fttuelt” by the Ibttehiamt Trdupe. Honnod's opera of Faust, even if performed by a company of only tolerable ability, furnishes a musical entertainment of peculiar attractiveness. The opera possesses two-sided beauty. It is the bandiWork of , two men of genius. _ The_ text • and 1, the score are both transcendently excel lent—a combination rarely afforded upon the lyric stage. The composition presents the great est, poem , of this century, with its fabric threaded with a woof of wonderful and beautiful music. Goethe found in Gotmod a fellow poet, who could give full and passionate expression to the spirit which lay subtly beneath' the'network of the story of his drama; a musician who grasped , the unuttered theory of Mephistopheles—that incarnation of the Idea that perversion of cold intellect to sensuality is the only devil—and translated into Me one illimita bly expreesive language, all the wlerd and melan choly beauty of, a tale of human ldve, betrayal, suffering, death, and remorse. Fen , poets have been so happy in finding an Interpreter. Few musicians have had such apoet, with *hose masteiVieee to fulfil in the highest and noblest sense all the conditions of lyric drama—the con genial union of poetry with Its sister art. It is quite impossible that any one with acute sensibilities should listen to this majestic work without being deeply affected by its mournful sweetness. From the 9 when' the aged "Faust" laments his lost oath, and pledges his soul for its redemption, ' the sad scene where the heart-broken "Ma elite" is alternately cheered, by hope and 9 , tracted by remorse -and wild despair—represented by the chorus of fiends and the church choir—the interest of the piece is intense and absorbing to a degree possible with no other opera upon the stage. It any fault can be found with it, it Is that the tragedy is too painful and terrible, and that the music too truthfully interprets these charaeterietics. The artist who cannot find in some one of the parts of this opera ample opportunity to reach the, hearts of his hearers, has not , a righteotis claim to the title. The members of the Richingss troupe can fairly claim a high degree of merit for their interpretations. The opera has been better sung in this city, but it is doubtful If any per formance of it has been more completely satis factory than those that this company have pre sented. Mrs. Bernard, particularly, assumes the character of "Marguerite" most skilfully. Her display of histrionic power has not been sur passed by any of her rivals, and her singing has infinite grace and sweetness. 'We have minutely criticized this representation already, and it will not be necessary to do so here, but we may allude particularly to Mrs. Bernard's treatment of the scene in the church yard as most pathetic and powerful. It cannot fairly be found fault with: Mr. Campbell gives an admirable impersonation of "Mephistoph eles," Mr. Castle's `Tenet" Is very satisfactory, ond Mra. Seguin's management of the little part f "Siebel," is as ood as any of the greater un dertakings of this charming singer in more sr dnous roles. Mr. Seguin 's "Valentine" is also worthy of all praise. Indeed the whole perfor mance was excellent, and we,are sure there were none in the audience last evening disposed to,re call the representations given by other compan ies, for the purpose of making invidious com parisons. It is but just to mention in this connection that Mr. Behrens has heeded the suggestion that his brass instruments were too noisy. Last evening , they were properly subdued, and the orchestra tion left nothing to be desired. This evening Fra Diavolo will be presented. ME. EDWIN ADA3IS AT THE WALNUT. - - Mr. Edwin Addles last night began an engage ment at the Walnut Street Theatre, by appear ing in the character of "Robert Landry" in Watts Phillips' drama The Dead Reart. The play is one of the best of its school. Highly 'sensational," in its situations and denouement,. the plot is natural and elegant, the episodes are often very dramatic, and there is neither vulgar ity nor an oppressive amount of wickedness and rascality. Mr. Adams gave a very excellent representation of the character assumed byhim. He does not possess genius, and he cannot claim to rank among the most brilliant stars that have il lumined the dramatic firmament. Bat he is fairly (ntitled to a position among the many fine actors who have earned reputation and wealth without superlative ability; and as he is a young man, there is yet ample time and opportunity for him to reach even a higher position. The play is handsomely mounted at the Wal nut, and some of the scenic effects are more than usually good. The performance will be repeated this evening. After Saturday next hiclacet will be written over the deceased White Fawn, and the beautiful spectacle will be only a memory. But the piece will die gallantly, and If the managers can ac complish it by effort and expense, it will go out in a blaze of glory. We long ago advanced the opinion that The White Fawn reached the very climax of splendor ; that no manager could afford to expend more money upon any single piece, and that as a necessity the success of the Fawn must mark the period of the turning of the tide which thus far has marked the popularity of the spectacular drama. ThoSe,theretore,who desire to have a final glimpse of a species of performance that is on its last legs—and such legal—should visit the Chestnut Street Theatre this week. The Fawn will be given every night in splendid style, with gorgeous costumes, magnificent scenery, and a superb ballet led by the grettt artists, Bon fanti, Sohlke and " La Petite Schlagen" Al. ills AMERICAN to-night a miscellaneous perfortnance will be given. —The Press having clearly established its right to decide absolutely upon the merit of any given work of art, and to determine the utter idiocy of every other critical newspaper ; and possessing that superlative ability which is requisite for such a task s has arrived at the conclusion that- those who dislike Offenbach's two-penny operas are "canting old fogies,who learn nothing and forget nothing," but will. "oppose opera bouffe until they are rendered ridiculous by their idiotic drivel." Such an argument as this is not at all likely to overwhelm and crush an intelligent op position, and the elegant language in which it is conched only furnishes another• evidence of the demoralizing effect of Offenbach upon his ad mirers. Contact with pitch, and then defilement —intimacy with Meilhac and Haldvy, and then coarseness and vulgarity. —We are very glad to learn that the Handel and Haydn Society wi/4 give considerable attention to elaborate music during the coming season. Upon their list of good things they have placed the names of three great works, Mendelssohn's "Elijah," Mozart's "Twelfth Mass," and Rossini's "Moses -in Egypt." They have• determined to pyoduce-these in a manner surpassing every pre vious, effort,—with the intention to .place. the Handel and Haydn Society in the firat rank among the musical associations of America. . We sincerely hope they may be successful; they have the hearty good will of every true lover of music. We may mention hero that we have received a copy of a neat little paper, La Matinee, devoted to dramatic matters, and to programme purposes in some of the theatres. —Max Strakosch will come to Philadelphia shortly with Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, for the purpose of giving two or three concerts.
