Hon. Samuel J. Randall came down on Monday, to attend the session of Con gress, and hits retnaLued since looking after some 1 111de btdness" for his constituents and political friends in the way of istorekeepenhAps. p olitical friends be obtained appointments.for. Wm. O. Kline and James S. Chambers, as Storekeepers in the First District, and to-day he obtained appoi nt- meats for the same positions for John;lt. Kelley and David Haggerty, both: " _ good Democrats." The two first named, Chambers and Kline, do not reside in Randall's district, Chambers being a resident of the Fourth District and. Kline of the Third District, but it seems Randall took both under his especial care and protection. Appear ances indicate that there is not the greatest har mony calming between Cottgreesman Randall and ' Collector Abel, of the First District, as Randall is, making most of the minor appointments which by usage and courtesy are ordinarily made upon the Cotor's recommendation. Both Kline and Chambers are sureties on Abel's bond, and before they can accept the position of storekeepers, they must withdraw as sureties, as they cannot Pe, on hie bond and be Storekeepers it the same time. This will cause Collector . Abel considerable trou ble, as his accounts must be all settled up to the time one or more of his sureties may, withdraw. This, too, may delay the parties gamed from en tering upon tack dudes, as it requires considers tie time to settle a Collector's accounts ,- and it is hardly possible the Department will allow them to enter upon their Storekeeper duties until re leased from their fern= liability as sureties. The notice to each of them announcing their appoint ment states that they will be assigned to a ware house by letter from the Deparunent, which is interlined in the usual printed' circular, and, ig nores the antnority of the Collector in the matter. It is underatood that Chambers and Kline are to be assigned to the new tobacco bonded ware houses on Water street, which have recently beep established. _ The other Democrats who have been with us this week are Chas. W. Carrigan, Esq., and State Senator Nagle, both of whom are assisting some "friends" desiring minor appointment* in the internal reveandservice.

It seems that the latter part of bat week O'Neill received from the Attorney General an official notice, addressed to es-Distrjet _Attorney Charles Gilpin, directing the latter to turn over to O'Neill the, office in the Court House building„ together with ad Elie books, papers and records in Gilphfoi pos session, belonging to the Government. This no, rice was sent to Gilpin by O'Neill, with a polite request to inform him (O'N.) when he (Gilpin) would be ready to comply with the order from the Attorney-Geneml. Gilpin, it appears, took several days to think over the matter, and early this week replied to O'Neill's letter, declining to give up possession,alleging that he had been recognized as the District-Attomoy by Judge Cadwalader, and should continue to act, and await further developments before surrendering. This defiant answer was transmitted by O'Neill to the Attorney-General, who in reply reiterated to O'Neill that he was' the regularly appointed District-Attorney. and directed him "to go ahead and take pokqession," or words to that effect. O'Neill, being a man of law, and not wishing to inaugurate a trial of " muscle " between him self and Mr. Gilpin for possession of the office, has again sought the Attorney-General for some definite instruction as to the course he shall pur sue, and the probability is that Marshal Ellmaker willte directed to oust Gilpin, and pat O'Neill in possession before many days. When this is de cided upon, O'Neill will appoint his assistant, who will take possession of the office in the Post office building, and if Judge Cadwalader still in sists upon recognizing Gilpin, the latter will be compellqd to transact his lousiness at his office outside. DIBTDIGUISHND AllutTAL. It Is announced to-night that "Judge" A. B. Bloanaker, of Texas, formerly- of Philadelphia, has arrived in this city, and is desirous of en gaging himself as a campaign speaker for the Republicans. It is not likely the serviced of tho "Judge" will be accepted, as those who know him best, feel that his supporting the cause will do the party more harm than good. BusclnEnanxe. POLITICAL. Democratic Opinion of , the Prospect. The New York Freeman's .Tounial, a rabid rebel sheet, says: We decline being humbugged by political par ties. There are principles at stake, or nothing is at stake we care for. A year ago General. Grant was a great favorite for the Presidency among Democrats. Mr. Chief Justice Chase, was their dread. This year, even Mr. Seymour was the ad vocate of the candidacy of Mr. Chief Justice Chace, as a funny candidate of the Democratie party, The idea was not accepted. Mr. Seymour, himself, was put in nomination by the very inte rest to which he had shown himself most bitterly opposed—the party that insist in paying off the five-twenties in greenbacks. He has accepted the platform, and must sink or swim with it. Affairs are very remarkably mixed up. Men may be excused for getting their heads muddled. We are called on to support a candidate, on na tional g. rounds, that was himeelf avowedly in favor of another candidate, most antagonistic to all decent and proper ideas of Federal govern ment. We acknowledge that the affair is "muddled." Our correspondence Is of a character to excite our.slarm. 'There is no use of disguising the fact that there, is distrust and disaffection among very many Democrats. Democratic Free Speech. A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Commerektl writing"from Van Wert, Ohio, says: Gen. Nelson It. B. Micell and others spoke to a large gathering of Republicans at Decatuf, In diana, yesterday.' Decatur is =intensely Demo cratic, there being bat three. Republicans in the town, which contains about 2500 inhabitants. The prase band and artillery companY from. this place were engaged to be there.

Can a man ever loyal to his country, after sash an exhibition as this, vote against the great soldier whe conquered rebellion in the geld? Or against the great statesman who crushed it in our legislative halls? With great respect, I an yciiir most obedient servant, flaseG. Grtz, Sec'y Ex. Com., sth District, Hy„ Chestnut, bet. Eighth and Ninth streets, Mom the New York TrThrum Sr taday.l Dix on meymoura The World thus concludes its comments on Gen. Dix's anti-Seymour letter: `As regards the-asatter of Gen. Dix's letter, - Ahere. - ..in not~hhiifng in . ,lV which everybody has net' seen a hundred Zmws in the Trilune, and 'a hurt died tiniest replied to and exploded by Democratic Journals. There is nothing new but Its utterance i,py General Dix, who merely attests his personal hatred of Mr. Seymour, but contributes no new ideas to the canvass." Our readers know how untrue is the above; not so those of the World. We, certainly, have no "personal hatred" of Mr. S eymour—no por tend feeling with regard to him. Our opposi tion to him is based entirely on his public acts and utterances. We regard him as having been in heart and purpose a rebel throughout our late struggle. We believe his Tw ad dle Hall speech (1861) and his Fourth-of-July ora tion (18e3) were dictated by such sym pathy; and in his public declaration (at Utica, Oct. 28, 1861), that, if the Union could not be maintained without abolishing Slavery, then it ought to be given up, utterly mistaken and un patriotic. We think Lee's unmilittu-y invasion of the North in 1863 was incited by expectations of a powerful diversion in his favor by Seymour & Co., and that Se mom's Fourth-of-July oration was projected and prepared with deliberate intent to prepare the Northern Democracy-for a " revo lutionary uprising against the Lincoln despotism" and a reconstruction of the Union under the conjoint direction of the rebel and Democratic chiefs. Hence, we hold that Seymour was, more than any otherman, morally responsible for the bloody anti-draft riots here which speedily fol lowed that Fourth of July harangue. And we believe that Gov. Seymour has made deliberately, wickedly false statements to the prejudice of his Republican opponents—for instance, in his Bridgeport speech last spring. All these points we have urged in proof of his unfitness for the Presidency; but they have othinu to do with Governor Seymortr's character aside from his polities. All we ever said or urged against his personal fitness for the Presidency is as nothing to General Dlx's severe arraignments. General Dix knows him far better than we do, and may be fairly presumed to understand him more thoroughly. General Dix speaks for himself, and the public will fairly weigh his testimony. The World taunts him with greed of office; nobody ever yet accused dim of hankering after defeat. That General Dix, surveying the field from a distance and uninfluenced by its passions, thinks Seymour doomed to defeat; even the World will tulmit. We only add our conviction that General Dix bully believes that Seymour ought to be beaten. The “Conservatives” and Gen. Grant_. The Letter of Gen. Dix. • [From the New York Three of to-daY.] The letter from Gen. Dix, which we published yesterday, is but one of the many indications that what is justly Called the "Conserva tive vote" of the country is going en masse for General Grant. General Dix has been all his life, in his party relations as in his poli tical principles, a Democrat. Until s re cent period in the historrof that party, he was always a trusted and honored member of the De-. mocrkey. In the days of Martin Van Buren, of Silas Wright and W..L. Marey,no name was held in moreregard by the Democratic party of this country than 'that of John A. DLT.. He was elected United States Senator by the party, and with Daniel S. Dickinson as his colleague, ren dered the party and the State effective service in that position. Like Mr. Dic4rlnson, he began to incur the dis trust and to encounter the hostility of the De mocracy only when he refused to follow the lead of those who had pledged its aid to the cause of treason. It is a curious fact—and one which de mands explanation at the hands of -those Demo, crate who are now claiming that the party stood by the Government daring 'the war—that no Democrat ever came out openly against the rebellion without forfeiting his position as a party man. He was dropped by the party instantly. We could 'cite nom of individnal names thati would at once prove and illustrate this fact. When Stanton went into Buchanan'a Cabinet he was a Democrat; but the moment he gave his voice for crushing the rebellion by force, hesvas bitterly denounced and execrated by the whole Democratic party. The case was the same with General Dir. He was a good Democrat when he went •into the same Cabipet; but from the time he' issued 'his famous order-"if any man pulls doWn - th6Airto;.' can flag, shoot him on the spot," he lest stseding with his party, and has never obtained recOgni.;. lion for a moment with it since. So_ it was throughout this city and State. There weremeny indiv3dnalDemoerate who Fitorid - by the nation during the war; but what their party standing now? Why do we hear nothing of Jas.T.Brady,of Judge Daly,of Judge Plerrepont, sad others, whose voices were always among the Met and moat yeti om,wtoix AY; SEPTEMBER 24,:186 come to the, Democrats, in every political can vassruntil they declared themselves openly and boldly for the war against rebellion? Front that moment they were good Democrats no longer. They have been ever since under a cloud. their; voices Is at the least suspected—and their voices have ceased to be heard in the party coun cils or in support of the, party measurr.a. Ex.Derv. Orr , * Opinion at the Demo. -estate eassmaates., , , (prom th e St. Paul 01linaeraas, BePt 9.)' 1 GoveMor Orr, of Sonar aniline, who le now in this city, has been giving some of the leading Democrats here a idece of his mind on the bungling way the Democracy have been man aging matters of late. To one of them, who was a delegate to the Tammany Convention, he said Ibat the nominations of Seymour and Blair were both great mistakes. Seymour, be cause he represented impracticable and ob solete ideas, and Blair, on account of bis revolu tionary letter. Besides, Blair was a military man, and the Democracy set oat with the idea of hav ing a great civilian statesman, and they should have been consistent in that idea.. Pendleton was equally' objectionable on account of his - identity with old worn-out policies. If the Democracy had nominated Chase the Governor said, his name, so long identified with the abolition of slavery, would have enabled the Democracy to carry every Southern State. Now, they might possibly carry Georgia and Ala bama--the rest would go for Grant. He fur ther said that it was a great mistake for the Southern Democracy to insist on being repre sented in the Convention; that the crowd of Con federate Generals there had a bad effect upon the public opinion of the North, and a bad influence on the Convention. Wade Hampton, for in stance, whom he spoke of in high terms, had come home, and publicly stated that he had pro cured the insertion in the platform of the 40- claration that "the Reconstruction acts were usurpations, unconstitutional, revolutionary and void," and, so the Confederate elo• went In the Convention openly arrayed itself against Northern sentiment, and reopened all the old issues. Much sensible talk of the same kind the wise and patriotic old Gov ernor addressed to his hard-beaded friend, but with as little practical effect,, we fear, as his ea imam counsels to his headotrong brethren in South Carolina. We learn that Gov. Orr has just been appointed a.

YonrsOraly, GEO. EL PENDLETO N. Another Lie The Democratic papers have been asserting that Hoyt Sherman, of Des Moines, lowa, and brother of Gen. Sherman. has left the Republi cans. The Des Moines Register says, in contra dicting this story: "Major Hoyt Sherman has been and is now an• uncompromising Radical.

Disown/ of the Cap ture of Humaita— st hat the Alines Found There_.pau r a_ gnayan Aninuaons—A Touching Story. (Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.] BUENOS AYB.ES, Wednesday, July 29, 1868. While the Senate was in session, yesterday after noon, a paper was handed to the President,Benor Alsina, which called an expression of wonderful exultation to his face. He, immediately an nounced that Hnmaita was evacuated, and the retreating garrison yet in the power of the Allies. The news was brought by General Ortiz, who, with General Gelley y Obelii went over the whole interior of the fortress. About twenty men were left within it, probably left to fire the fuses and blow np the whole erection. Many guns had been thrown into the river, the rest had been spiked, about two hundred in all. There was a large quantity of powder found and great sup plies of shells, balls, &c., also abundance of fur niture and conveniences; but of provisions not so much as a single biscuit, showing that the attack made on the iron-clads three weeks ago was by the desperate valor of starving men. No place within Humaita had been sale from the shot and shells of the allies. The barracks, the church, the watch-tower which overlooks the main land are all in ruins. The ground of the whole inte rior might be welipaved with the iron of the ex ploded missiles. The Argentine flan: was the first to surmount the forsaken walls. The garrison has escaped in canoes to the peninsula in the Gran Chaco, on which Gen. Rivas is encamped, and intended no doubt to reach Timbo; but they are at the mercy of Rivas, who has been reinforced and will make an immediate attack. Meanwhile Col. Vedia is in Humaita with four battalions and 400 cavalry. The rejoicings in Montevideo are almost frantic; here a little more moderate, though we had a great deal of mili tary music and a great many vivas last night. By the destruction of this fort the navigation of the river has been made free, which ie a great advantage for Bolivia as well as for this Re public. 'They say here it is in effect the conclu sion of the war, but that is not so certain. SATURDAY, Aug. 8, 1868.—When the Allies found that Humaita had been evacuated by the Paraguayans, they made search in the fortress for ammunition and provisions. They found plenty of the former, but nothing to eat at first, so that the inference was that Humaita had been aban doned to escape starvation. Later malls have shown this to be a mistake. Great supplies of corn and mandioca have been discoveredkalso storerooms filled with ale, cheese, sardines, cases of table oil, large packages of yerba (South Ame rican tea), raisins, &c. The true reason for leav ing must have been the rain of the interior by the Brazilian shot and shell. Every place was rid• died with balls. , When the allies entered they found a few wounded Brazilians, prisoners of war, who said that they had been most carefully . Waded and fed; that the Paraguayans :being short of lint had torn up their own scanty , clothing to furnish bandages for their wounded enemies. This is a wonderful commentary on the_term '`barbarian," so often applied to the Paraguayans by; nations which often massacre, heir prisoners of war.

They were received by Major &mho, who, as the first boat approached the shore,sunk it, with the commander of the expedition. ,Then ' the fight was hand to hand.

Immediately after the battle or Canoes, of which I spoke , in my last, a Span.tah priest in the allied army obtained permission to go to the Phraguay ir ans. y , on Abe peninsula, to persuade them to surren . He took with him not only the flag of tru , but the cross, symbol of the faith common to him and them. Holding it before him, he penetrated to their camp in the jangle, and reminded them of the brave deeds they had already done for their country, of the hopelessness of longer resistance, of the cour age and sufferings of their women, of the famine of their children. He showed them that the Allies bad only to Argon them to turn their camp into a slaughter ground, and he besought them by their common humanity, and by the emblem of mercy which he carried, to spare farther suffer ing by surrender.. Still they hesitated, fearing that they would be mowed down by the Brazilian suns when they left their cover. The priest, then, seizing the cross, held it over his breast and declared that that sacred symbol was a protection which no shot or shell could pierce. A council of the of was then called and surrender agreed upon. The successful missionary threw himself sob bing upon the breast m o men t a araguayan priest, and then, after a few , distributed bread and wine to the famished multitude. They were taken as prisoners to the dismantled fortress of Remelts, which they had so long and so well de fended. As they entered they were received by the Brazilians with military salute, and" the ()Ul cers were told that wherever in the allied coun tries they might choose to reside, they would find that their heroism was known and appre ciated. In all there were about 1,300 prison ers. some of whom were landed in Buenos Ayres to-day. leged Abduction and Confinement - Five Weeks in a Lunatic Asylum of Joe Cooke. the Eir.Circus Clown—A Brother-in.. Law Charged with the Abduction and Also Attempted Pot boning of Air. Cooke and Wife. rFrora the how York Herald of to•de.v.) A case endowed with several remarkable fea tures of startling interest was yesterday brought to the magisterial notice of Judge Mansfield, of the Essex Market Police Court, through the affi davit of Mr. Marines W. P. Cooke, better known as Joe Cooke, the clown, whose performances in the sawdust ring are still fresh in the memories of thousands. It is six years since he left the equestrian arena, and daring these aix years he has been keeping the Sunny-side Hotel, the half-way house to the Fashion race-course, on long Island, and fa vorite midway stopping place for metropolitan turf patrons on the way to this popular race track. He soon paid for the property, and in addition bought and paid for a handsome house and lot on De Kalb avenue, Brooklyn, besides becoming the possessor of other real estate. Twenty-five years ago he was married in the Astor House by Alderman Sturdevant,now deceased. The fruits of this union are two child ren. His wife and these two children are living ' in the De Kalb avenue house. He and his wife and children have always lived on the bast of terms. A skeleton in the house—and it will be borne in mind that we are giving the statement of Mr. Cooke—has been a brother-in-law, one Henry H. Foster. This man became the brother-in-law of Mr. Cooke through marrying the latter's sister. Mr. Cooke'S record of this brother-in-law is not very flattering, as may be gathered from the fact that be makes biographical disposition of ten years of his life as follows: Five years' imprisonment in the Louisiana State Prison at Baton Rouge, and five years in a prison at Toronto, Canada. And now we come to the principal facts set forth in the affidavit made yesterday by Mr. Cooke before Judge Mansfield. On the 12th of August last, he left hie Sunnyside inn and came to this city, and in the afternoonmstarted to go back by way of the ferry leading from the foot of Thirty-fourth street, East river, to Hunter's Point. As he left the ferryboat ho was suddenly seized by Foster, his brothel-in-law,. and a policeman, handcuffed, put into a carriage and conveyed to Kings County Lunatic Asylum. Ar rived at the Lunatic Asylum he was delivered over to the keeper, assigned tea cell and kept there till the 18th inst., when Dr. Mead, thehead phy sician, having become satisfied of his sound men tal condition, relieved him from the prolonged and painful durance to which he had been sub jected, and gave him his liberty. It should be stated here that he does not complain of his treatment at the bands of the asylum officials, though under what pretence of reason or authority they should have kept him there the length of time they did, or in fact, for a day, is to bim a profound mystery. He only knows this much—that he, or rather his wife, paid ten dollars a week for his board, and that he received extra care and attention, as well as a full and unstinted diet, on this account. His seizure, his being handcuffed and his con veyance a n ye Lunatic Asylum, he avers, ever subjected warrant of authority. He was never subjected to any medical examination before the seizure and neither after his incarceration in the Lunatic Asylum. He charges the whole thing upon his brother-in-law, and he ascribes as the motive a desire and dete rmination of the latter to get possession of his property There is another charge additional to the above preferred by Mr. Cooke against his brother-in-law. He says that Mr. Foster deliberately and wickedly set to work to poison him and his wife, and, this accomplished, would doubtless have made a fi nishing job of the poisoning by poisoning theft children. Having been a sufferer from neuralgia, Mr. Foster, he alleges, gave him some medicine to take, which, however, he was prudent enough to abstain from taking. His wife failed to exercise the same prudence, he says, through medicine administered to her at his bands during his confinement in .the lunatic asylum, has become almost a skeleton, weighing . now only ninety-three pounds, while before this time she weighed 210 pounds: 'The medicine offered to himself and since left untaken by his wife he has given to Dr. Doremns, -of this city, to analyze: On the'above facts being sworn to by 'Mr. Cooke a warrant was promptly issued for the ar rest of Mr. Foster.
