Wasittaoros, Sept. 23,1868.—F0r several days

phia Democratic politicians hither, for the pur.
pose of controlling all the Government patronage
In their poWer, to make it available for the benefit
of the Democratic party before the October eilec
tien comes off. Hon. Samuel J. Randall came
down on Monday, to attend the session of Con
gress, and hits retnaLued since looking after some

friends in the way of istorekeepenhAps. p olitical

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. The lion's share of
this patronage Is now dlspensed , b,V Secretary

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.

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.

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:

a large gathering of Republicans at Decatuf, In

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;.'

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

with the abolition of slavery, would have enabled

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. The
chain across the river has been cnt, and the pas.

encamped, several loaded canoes and a floating

who, as the first boat approached the shore,sunk
it, with the commander of the expedition. ,Then '
the fight was hand to hand. Many leaped into'
the lake and were drowned. The guns on shore
kept up a deadly fire, and soon the Ailles,baving
finished carnage,kad possession of eight over
laden canoes, filled with wounded. Then did
they understand the horrors of war, for on the

their sex had net been suspectedt
A wounded mother held to heir breast an infant

crying for their slain mo thers , to the tent of
General Rivas, who brave enough in battle,
walked the scene of ' carnage weeping over its
pitiful sights. The children ate ragenottsly the
biscuits that were given them. One little man
refused to be comforted until one of the aids had
found him a wet nurse, when he subsided into
contentment and sleep.

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. The latter a statement at the
approaching examination in 'the case may

in support of the plea. That was that the of

provides as follows: "No person or persona Oaf

Judge Wylie said the language of this statute
is clear and strong. It was not possible to Dile- •
understand it.
LE 1341.5 E.
The indictment was not found until more than
two years after the alleged offence was coin
milted. It contained no aflirmation.that during
the intervening period the defendant had fled
from justice. This is a fatal objection to the •
prosecution, unless we find it was necessary
by the rules of law for defendant to
plead the benefit of the statute by special plea.
After quoting. legal authorities, he said 'he felt.
constrained in this case, with the whole record
before him, to say that judgment must be given
for the defendant. Mr. Merrick asked that •
judgment be entered and the prisoner discharged..
District Attorney Carrington asked, as this, was a 0
very important question of law, that it be cent--
tied to the Court "in bane." He supposed anew
indictment could be found at the next term of
the Court. Judge Wylie replied that ;he
was not in the habit of certifying to_attother •
court. He decided for himself,with the questions
before him. lithe gentleman wantedio gothero--
be could do so on an appeal. The; 'District. At
torney asked whether, in a ques- •
tion of law in criminal prosecution;
he had not the right of appeal.. Judge Wylie rem , :t
plied that that was for the gentleman to de
termine. Mr. ,in ly uestin,
was Informed byMerrick the court re t p hat to

was discharged. Barrett, who was .in the court
room, was then congratulated by his friends, and ••
afterward retired. District Attorney Carrington
said he proposed, if necessary, to prepare another...,
indictment to meet the views of the court.,
Judge Wylie said the District Attorney could
have Barrett rearrested on a charge when he
Grand. Jury shall again sit. The court had no
judicial knowledge about- Snrratt having been
absent from the country. On the face,of the:;re
cord it appeared that the alleged crime was corn- -
mined more than two years ago. If, so, le -
could pot be prosecuted. No man could be •
deprived of life or liberty under, a statute like: -
that, and the court had no right to hold Barrett .
to bail. Distriet-Attorney , Carrington said he •
did not wish to argue, against the decision, bat .
as the subject was of great practical, importance
he wanted to say—
Judge Wylie here interrupted. the, gentleman
by remarking that he had announced his opinion,
and therefore it was not necessary for th'e gentle
man to say anything more.
The District-Attorney then,entered. an appeal'
from the decision of the court.
