WASIIRCGTON, Oct. 2, 1.868.--The greatest in
terest prevails hero regarding the result of the
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, for
everybody concedes that they will settle the
Presidential contest in advance of November.
The Republicans are confident beyond all prece
dent, and are making the most strenuous exer
tions to get out every voter, and send him home
to vote in October. The clerks generally
need no "spurring." A few months ago,
when they failed to get their expected
20 per cent. additional compensation, some of
them grumbled, and thleatened that they would
not put their hands in their pockets and pay the
erpenses of a trip home in October to vote. But
a , l the dissatisfaction has vanished, and now the
rivalry is as to which shall go first—all who are
entitled to go being anxious to leave a week be
fore election, to do their best for the good cause
at home before the election comes oft.
SHREWD OFFICIALS WHO HEAR VIE SLOGAN
MAR OFF.
Some very significant "straws" have shown
lately how some leading officials here feel in re
gard to Grant's election. In the Third Auditor's
Bureau of the Treasury Department,
of which John Wilson is chief, he is
taking . the most active part in seeing that
the clerks in his Bureau, who live in States that
hold elections this month, shall go home to vote
the Republican ticket, which is equivalent to
voting for Grant and Colfax In November. This
movement on Wilson's part excites some sur
prise, because he was considered rather conser
vative in •sentiment; but he is a shrewd politi
cians, sees clearly in which direction the wind is
blowing, and Ls not disposed to be left out in the
cold.
rtEroarma CONVERSION OF ONE OF JOIENSON'S
Another case of miraculous conversion in the
Treasury Department is reported. It is said that
Gen. A. N. Jeffries, Register of the Treasury, has
recently expressed his Intention to support Grant
and. Colfax, and.will do aU in his power to aid the
clerks and em loves in his department to go
home to vote. This case is a little remarkable,
inasmuch as Jeffrieshas been an intimate, bosom
friend of President Johnson, and his associations
have been chiefly with the Democrats for the last
year or two. He was a good Union man during
the war and performed good service in the cause,
but afterward followed the fortunes of Governor
Swann, of Maiand—Jeffries being a
Marylander—which planted Swann square
with the Democracy. Jeffries was appointed
Register more than a year ago, and during the
last session of Congress was nominated by the
President for Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
and vise rejected by the Senate, - but he continued
to hold the Registership. •It is a hopeful sign
that some of the "dyed-in-the-wool" Johnson
men are beginning to see the error of their ways,
and are returning to the true fold; and this, too,
right under-the nose of the President and Secre
tary MeCulloch,who,tliough professedly friendly
to Seymour and Blair, interpose no objections to
these outspoken demonstrations for Grant, of
which they cannot be ignorant.
ADJUSTMENT OF UNSETTLED ACCOUNTS OF OOV-
An effort is being made at the Internal Revenue
Bureau to expedite the settlement of the accounts
of various collectors of internal revenue in Phila
delphia, some of which have - been standing fcir
years. Among them are the accounts of the late
Jesper - IThrding, collect - et of the First D 1
and Wainwright, collector of the Third District,
besides the'accoants. of some of the collectors
now in office, which have not been adjusted for
one. or two years. This is the case also with
several ex-Custom House officers, whose ac-'
counta are still unsettled; and in one or two in
stances, balances are still due the Government.

The Water Works of London—Dtspost.

Wash-house. for the Poor.
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bastin.]
Loxnox, Sept. 101 h, 1868.—1 n Philadelphia,
where water washes the city to a proverbial
cleanliness, pumps, hydrants and water-pipes aro
as common as chimneys and door-bells. In Lon
don there are seventy thousand houses that have
no supply whatever of water. Add to this fact
the consideration that in the course of one hun
dred and sixty miles the Thames receives the re
fuse outpourings of two, hundred and twenty
three cities, towns and villages, that the city of
London Hself discharges through one hundred
and thirty sewers the enormous tribute of one
hundred, and thirty thousand toss of refuse water
daily, and the source of plagues and pestilence
will cease to be a speculation.
When I first came to London I was disposed to
grumble., and resign myself hOpelessly to the
horrors that attack every traveler who leaves
Paris, the white city, where the sunshine and
Baron Hau sem ann are making a paradise—serpent
included—for this smoky, sooty city, wheie
bronze, marble, brick and freestone are all
the same color—the statues of Wellington, the
Prince Consort, Pitt, Fox, Chatham, Queen
Anne, Nelson, Queen Elizabeth and Her Most
Gracious Majesty all resembling the ebony
statues of African heroes that I see, In a vision,
surrounding Bunker Hill Monument. Bat after
three months residence In London, I have become
wiser than I should have been had I joined the
discontented French fevered victims, and left It
In three days.
The improvements now in progress in the city
of London remind one of the works of the genii
who, > in the bowels of the earth, lay the
foundations of palaces whose strength will en
dure for ages, so quietly. deliberately and securely
is the work advancing of embanking the Thames
with a magnificent promenade and drive of
Portland stone that gives the city
along the river the same appearance from
the bridges that charms travelers in
cities on the Continent. It has the effect of the
stone-facing or curb of the twenty-five hundred
palaces on the Grand Canal in Veuice. Under
thisVanbankment are great arches, through which
an underground railwayNald in connection with
those that already undermine the city in every
direction.
From Holborn Hill to St. Sepulchre's an im
mense bridge is building, that will enable foot
passengers, cabs and omnibusses to avoid the
steep, muddy streets where drags and breaks
hardly suffice to make, driving safe in rainy
weather. A series of large sewers, amounting to
185 miles of pipe, is nearly completed, at a cost
of four millions of pounds sterling! When all'
the scaffolding is taken down,' the barriers re
moved and the rubbishcleared away, some of the
citizens even, who have accused the Queen of ab
sorbing their profits; for her own benefit, will
look on these magnificent improvements,
and cry "God save the Queen!" with somewhat
of, the old eanaestness and satisfaction. "Jus
tiCe where jastice, tribute when tribute is due,"
but God save America from anything but Repub
lican Democratic government.
The benevolent institutions of England are in
numerable; the patience of the people who sup
port them is marvelous, they boast of their
charities, and groan at their poor rates in the same
breath; and while five hundrd and fifty charitable
institutions under royal patronage, and hundreds
of less note supported by voluntary contribution,
open their doors to the wretched and hungry,
signals of distress flutter in every quarter of
London. France 'and England do more for their
poor than any other monarchical governments,
but America has no poor. I say it advisedly,
that America has no class of people who
are necessarily born to poverty. Crime
and misfortune reduce individuals and
families, in a ll classes of society, to
beggary sometimes, but where is the Ameri
can girl or boy who corresponds in caste with the
English children who live out at service in fami
lies where the very children arc their "masters'.
and "mistresses," and their wages are less than 'a
rag-picker's profits? They are in our factories,
stores and public schools,earning a fair and inde
'pendent living.
But I am forgetting my subject: Water in Lon
don. While I fret over the necessity of so many
charitable institutions, and rejoice at the good
fortune of the Irish emigrants who find work'and
good wages in America, I cannot help being in
terested in the institutions called baths and wash
houses for the poor, erected as a sanitary
measure, to keep off the plague from London.
Seventy thousand houses have no supply of water;
consequently in every district there are two or
three public baths and wash-houses,whbre women
and men can bathe lime class (mark the Billy
dis-
Uuction) in stone tubs, for fourpence, towels,
soap and mat for the feet included; or second
class in zinc tubs, no mat for the feet, for two
pence. In the wash houses each woman is sup
plied with a tub, boiler, hot and cold water, a
clothes-wringer, hot air chamber where the
clothes dry in ten minutes, a mangle and hot
irons for three ha'pence an hour l I have seen
sixty-two women washing the clothes for. their
families, and the offices filled with others waiting
with bundles, that would be soon white and
clean, while the contagion they might otherwise
send through the city, would sink through Ole
waste pipes trona each tub into the sewers that
run under the city.
At every corner of London there is a
street fountain, whelre men and boys
can quench their thirst, and save the
pennies formerly deposited in the
tills of the gin shops. Fountains
for horses stand in the middle of cross-roads
and streets, enabling the carters 'to avoid the
hostlers' fee at the corner tavern. At Hyde
Parlt,_ in'. the_ Serpentine, eight „hundred -boys
plunge and Swim, morning and evening, while a
semi-circle of life-boats surrounds them, with.
commissioned Officers to: watch, them and pre
vent their drowning. sThepoor are net excluded,
but urged to, come; and it is a strange ert • to
behold troops of bright'elean-faced boys', clothed
in rags, Issuing from the gates of Hyde. Park at
the hour when Fashion, wearied with pleasure,
rolls in her carriage from the ;setae gateway,
clothed in purple arid fine linen. ' There is an
anomaly in the government and, institutions of
all foreign cities, but most of all In London. Is
it because the people call more loudly for their
rights, and the Government hearing them
alutches the crown with firtner grasp? '

Vang&ILLICS, Sept. 16th, 1866..;- . -It la announced
from Florence that the Government of the King--
of Italy have come to the deterMination td - adop
vigorous measures for the restoration, of,'publi
order, pnd for the repression of tito crimes wide
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
have lately been of frequent 'occurrence, in the
Romagna. This is truly the case of saying "bet
ter, late than never." It would be- idle to specu
late as to what connection there may be between
this resolution and the recently accepted resigna
tion of Mr. Cadorna of his place at the head of,
the Home Office. The portfolio of the Interior
has been temporarily intrusted to the hands of
Count Cantelli, the Minister for Public Works,
and nothing is said about the 'definitive nomina
tion of Mr. Cadonia's successor. But, what
ever importance may be attached to this
partial modification of the Cabinet in
its political bearings, there is little doubt as
to the beneficial results the change must
have towards strengthening the admitilstration.
The Home Minister in Italy is nothing it he be
not a great politician, and Mr. Cadorna, although
a politician of the Cavour school and • a man of
irreproachable character, is now an old man, and
can hardly he expected to display late in IM-1 xn
energy for which men never gave him credit in
his better days. Moreover, he had bound him
self before Parliament not to overstep the limits
of legality, and he could, therefore, hardly have
had a hand in the recent decree which appointit
General Escoliter as Military Commander at Ra
vens, authorizing him at the same time to dis
charge the functions of Prefect, or Civil Gover
nor, and to resort to, stringent military measure 4
whenever the public, safety should appear to be
endangered. In Romagna, as in Sicily, it has
been found necessary to concentrate all powers
in the same hand, and martial law 'can in both
these provinces at any moment suPercede the
Constitution.
No rational man could wish it to be otherwise.
The first law of existence for a State is public se
curity, and to it freedom itself must be sacrificed
till such time as freedom is so organized as to
constitute the soundest basis of security. The
repression of crime is for Italy a matter of honor
as well as of well-being; for—it would be vain to
deny it—that country hasa bad name in that re
spect among its neighbors. It is simply outra
geous to couple the epithet of "assassin"
with the name of "Italian," as it has
hte.n lately by a somewhat loose
spoken member of the British Parliament
It is outrageous to call the Peninsula the "Italia
del Ladri, 'as is customary . with some clerical
papers which can never forgive the happy events
which have restored Italy to the Itali
ans. But it is impossible to blind one
self to the fact that the statistics of crime,
as published monthly by the staff of the
Royal Carabiniers, or gendarmerie, give results
which do not bear even the,remotest proportion
to the analogous documents issued by oilier Eu
ropean States. It may, indeed, flatly be denied
that the Papal city and territory are that oasis
in the Italian wilderness which Monsigneur Tal
bot or Sir George Bowyer is fain to describe, or
that matters In the new kingdom are any worse
than they were under the role of former princes.
But the friends of the National cause expected
improvement to set in with the new political life,
and Ills a meagre consolation to them to hear it
said that emancipated Italy is, in respect of
crime, only no worse off than was enslaved
taly.
Note little of the evil, especially for what con
cerns crime against the person springsfrom what
is called the "bad blood"' of 'the people—from
their passionate, jealons,revengeftil temperament..
The knife has been at all times the bane of Italian
life, and it is questionable whether any exertion
of the public force will ever have power to
snatch from the Italian's hand what
has been not unjustly designated as the national
weapon. Still it remains to be seen whether the
people have not been rather encouraged to than
deterred from the use, of the knife. A set of soft
headed rather than soft-hearted public men
haVe sprung up in that • country, who
look ,to jzdidness of legislation and
leniency of punts . matt as invaluable specifics
for the repression of crime. Morbid and mawkish
Tuscan "philanthropy." as it is called,. has al
ready Succeeded in pulling down the 'gallows
throughout the territory of the former Grand
Dechy,and aided by senseless Neapolitan clamor,
it is now storming the doors of the National Par
liament to obtain, in favor of the whole-Penin
sula, the same immunity from the eternal law
that "blood must atone for blood." The male
factor in Florence is free to follow the bent of
his worst passions, with perfect confidence that,
happen what may, he will never coma to be
hanged; and it is scarcely otherwise in the re
maiming provinces,where capital punishment has
nut been actually abolished, but where it is
virtually evaded in almost every instance, either
owing to some outburst of "humanitarian'
tenderness of the jury, or to some crotchetty
quibble of the magistrate; to craving for popia
'Laity, or else to abject dread of private revenge,
ac dug with the same force upon all persons con
meted with the prosecution, conviction and
punishment of the most desperate offenders. And
he who has managed to cheat the hangman has
little cause for uneasiness as to any other penalty:
for the fatal insenrity of gaols and bagnios, the
in credible carelessness or corruption of the agents
of the public force, have engendered contempt
icr an imprisonment to which it seems as if
u..budy need subject himself for a longer period
1.1 .in may snit his own inclination or convenience.
1! r. Peabody's Intended Residence in
Hungary.
According to the Vienna correspondent of the
Post, Mr: George Peabody , the phPn throplst, is
about to reside, part of next year, in the Hunga
rian capital, and has commissioned an agent to
purchase an estate for him at kprice not exceed
ing 200,000 florins. On this estate he will build a
large steam mill, in which only grain for export
is to be converted into flour. It is said that Mr.
Pt abody felt so attracted by the famous Hunga
rian patriot Francis Deak, that ho entered into
correspondence with him, and did not take the
resolution to become a landed proprietor of
Hungary until he had asked M. Deak's adviee;on
the subject.
The Austrian Army.
The Memorial Diplomatigue says:
\Valle the King of Prussia Is, employing his
days in passing reviews and having executed new
manwavres by the troops incorporated in the
F( ceral army of North Germany, and ranged
tu der his supreme command, Austria, on her
site, is laboring actively in the reorganization of
h' r forces. 'General Kuhn, Minister of War for
the Empire, is making a tour of inspection, and
everywhere on his passage the soldiers have been
pat through grand military exercises. On his
return from Bohemia he expressed to Gen. Gab
lentz his great satisfaction, asserting the men ho
bad seen equld. be regarded as picked troops
ui surpassed on any point by the best of other

The Progress of France louder the Em

The Reveil publishes some curious statistics
re, ative to the French Empire. It appears that
the, salary, paid by_ Franco to Napoleon 111. in 15
wars is more by 4'7,Boo,ooo — than was paid to
Emg LOUIS Philippe during the same number of
years. Tife amount of donations, which in 18b2
was £400,000, amounted in 1866 to £920,000. The
interest of the public debt in 1814 was about .£l4,-
500,000; in 1866 it . was -.Z
over 26,000,000. The
total of the civil list .donations and interest of
public debt during the first lb yea of the Go

000,000; during the first 15 , years of Imperial re
gime, £364,000,000; showing 'an increase of ex

Frestich• Occupation of Rome.
A correspondent writes: -
This, more than anything else `since , the cac

source of trouble and/•difilenitles on all sides in

Withdrawb It cannot be trusted in a like manner
again. It is certain that but for the very, timely
turning up of French soldiers at Mentana tait,
fall the Garibaldians, impelled by the
national hankering' after. unity, would have
played havoc with his holiness. Besides this
Owe Irregularity on the part of 'the lindens, lc
can scarcely be expected that the Enaperor will
consent to withdraw his foothold from Italian
soil when his relations with Prussia are so threat
ening, and when the land of Plattorl and Orsbii
is solavishingly coquetting with Count Bismarck.
What between this question ofthe occupation of
Rome, the bitter jealousies growing out of it,
and the charge ot ingratitude cast into their face
from France, "the Frenchman" is almost as
odious to-day among Italians as was only lately
"the Austrians."

TURKEY.
Seizure of an American Citizen.
A correspondent writes from the Dardanelles:'
"The American Captain - of the port at 13c10, an
Hellenic subject, has been sent up here under ,
oarrest by Ahmet Salserli Pasha., Governor of
that island, for alleged share in the recent riot on
the occasion of the rejoicings for the birth of the
young Greek Prince. The man is said to have
protested on the double , ground of his
nationality and his American office, but
neither availed him, and he is now
a prisoner in the fortress. It remains to be
seen what steps the American 'and Greek Min
isters will take under the circumstances." We
are able to answer the suggested query of our
correspondent. On receiving the news Mr. Mor
ris promptly demanded satisfaction from the
Porte, claiming the man's immediate release, his
conveyance back to Selo in a Turkish man-of
war, and an apology from the Pasha to the Ame
rican Consul. We have reason to believe that
the incident has already induced a visit of Ad
miral Ferrant i in the Franklin, to the island.
Important Ceremonies In Hone;
A correspondent at Rome writes:
A consistory will be held at the end of this
month. The Pope will then give the red bat to
Cardinals Biagi and Ferrier', who were absent
from Rome when promoted. The form of the
oath taken by. the Cardinale on receiving their
hats is Most extraordinaw. "Promitis defenders
fidera usgue; ad sanguirie3 dusione ad inclusive"!
is the question put by the Pope, and answered
affirmatively, of course. Observe "Inclusive"
included, which has been added, that there may
be no mistake as to the interpretation given to
the question.
Betbre this ceremony there is another. In the
presence of the College of. Cardinals the recipi
ent must promise to defend the temporal power
of the Pope and shed his blood In the cause if.
necessary. Cardinal Pentini, created five years
ago, added, "Hit be for the good of the Church."
It seems that in the evening at his reception he
had a perfect ovation in consequence. I am as
sured that in this consistory-there will be no new
cardinals made, nor will the Pope make an allo
cution; at least it will be one of no political im
portance.
Curious Will of L!.lllonium 13aMono
Prelate
The Continental (Europe) Papers are publish
ing a curious document, purporting to be the late
Cardinal d'Andrea's last will and testament. The
following is a translation :
NAPLIIS, April 12, 1868.—1 trust very shortly,
on the cessation of the ill-advised displeasure
conceived against me by Pope Pitui IX. for the fri
volous reasons now notorious to the whole world,
to be able to return to Rome, my usual place of
residence. Our difference is wholly unconnected
with religious matters, being a more question of
punctilio.
If right were might the cause would be mine,
but where might is right the victory is on the
side of the Pope, who, during the severe illness
with which I was afilicted,presumed to act as my
pbysician,and because I chose rather to be guided
by my medical advisers, subjected me to a most
discourteous, treacherous and immoral persecu
tion. I distinguish between John Baptist Mosta
and the Pontiff Pius; but the Pontiff, retaining
the nature of Mastal, is liable to error; and, in
fact, through natural infirmity the Pope has erred
in childishly allowing himself to be the
dupe of Cardinal James Antonelli, of Pa
triza, an Ignorant and ambitions ascetic and a
mean-souled courtier: and, lastly, by that notorl
ous scoundrel, Prospero Caterino, of Arnano, In
the district of Aequapendente, province of Vi
terbo.
lam a better Catholic than Pius IX., who at
the commencement of his Pontificate, and after
wards, committed various acts not consistent
with Catholicism.
In my present uncertainty whether I shall be
able to revisit Rome I hereby make a rough draft
of my will and testament, in the hope of being
able to revise it by and by after mature conside
ration.
I. In the first place, then, I appoint as my
heir general my excellent and pious first-born
brother, the Marquis Francis Xavier
(The following clauses, from the second to the
seventh,refer to thelegacles to various frlends,in
eluding Passaglia, Modesti, &c., and to relatives
and servants of the testor).
8• To certain charitable institutions in Rome I
bequeath the sum prescribed by law whenever a
will is made.
The plate and the sacred utensils' belonging to
my chapel are to be divided among various
churches according to the note which I intend to
prepare for this purpose. Should no note be
found, a part is to be given to. the chapel of St.
Januarins, in Naples—namely, the chest of gilt
silver plate to St. Jannarius, the two remaining
portions to .be shared between Sabine() and Sa
bina.
10. My white richly embroidered cope to Si.
Mary of Constantinople, the red cope to St .
Agnes.
11. Five hundred masses for my soul, which I
recommend to the infinite mercy of God, the
Blessed Virgin, and of all the angels and saints In
Paradise.
12. To the. Holy Father,_to the cardinals _and
prelates, and to all my other enemies, my sincere
and full pardon.
