We are on the eve of an important election.
The unrepentant rebels of tho South, united with
the Copperheads of the North, are again upon
the war•patb—not with arms in their hands, nut
with hatred in their hearts to those brave and
loyal men who periled all to save their country.
Defeated on the battle-field, they are anxious to
icy another on which to test, not their prowess,
but their treachery. The cowardly attempts of
the Copperheads of the North to assist their
brethren of the South during the Rebellion are
again resorted to, in the hope that this combina
tion of traitors will secure by the ballot what
they in vain hoped to gain by the bullet. Penn
sylvania Is 'the battle-ground selleted for this
atrocious venture.
The importation of voters from the rebel cities
of Baltimore and Now York, with many from
New Jersey and Delaware, has already been at
tempted for the purpose of placing them on our
extra assessment lists. The frauds , perpetrated,
if not with the connivance, at least by the neglect
of a Judge of the Supreme Court of our Stath,
are now undergoing. investigation. Forged
naturalization papers, with the name of the Pro
thonotary and the seal of the Court attached,
have been disseminated amongst the people to an
extent difficult to ascertain.
There-vet remains to finish up this diabolical
plan to cheat the honest voters of their rights,the
importation from New York and Baltimore of
tbkves ar.d roughs, just previous to electlonday,
together with ballot-box stuffing in certain
Democratic Wards of our city. Some may think
this picture exaggerated, but we assure you that,
after a thorough and exhaustive examination,
with information from sources entirely reliable,
we give it as our deliberate opinion that arrange
silents for frauds had been made by this so-called
Democratic party in the city of Philadelphia
alone, which, if consummated, would have ag•
gregated ten thousand votes. Never in the his
tory of the corrupt organization, self-styled
Democratic, has rascality been attempted on BD
stupendous a scale. In comparison, all previous
efforts sink into insignificance. With these facts
before you, fellow-citizens, will not every man
who feels an interest in the purity of elections
come to the polls and denounce by his ballot this
barefaced treachery;
The issues involved in the contest have been
thi.roughly discussed. Are you willing that the
control of our city and State shall be placed in
the hands of men who are capable of resorting to
the means already alluded to? We think not!
Come, then, to the polls. Let every man op
posed to the villainy we have described; every
man whii has the good of his country at heart;
every man interested in the fair fame of his city
:Ind State, come to `the polls—vote early, and see
to it, your friends vote also. 4,1

ler RECEIVER 01' TAXES.
[From Sunday Dispatch, Juno dist, 18t:S.1
It is due to Mr. Melloy to nay that the present law re
quiringthat the five per cent. of the delinquent Saxes,
formerly pocketed by the Receiver. shall be paid into the
ity Treasury, might not have been passed for years yet,
if ever. but for him. When Mr. Melloy was a candidate
in lie. he authorized his friends to pledge him to hand
over this per tentage to the city, and in UM be published
the following card. it being the first of the kind ever pub
lished by any candidate for Receiver:
`r • 1n answer to Inquiries made as to the manner in
hich, in the even tmy election to the office ot
etiver of Taxes. I mean t.o discharge its duties. I will
state that I @hail not appropriate to myself, but will ac
count to the public for all of the five per cent. commissions
now authorized by law to be colbeted on the unpaid
taxes at the end of each year. and that I will pat a stop
to all abuses touching expenses for advertising Sheriff's
costa and other illegal exactions"
The ab out f this five and t. of the unpaid taxes
annually is Silf. COO, ometimes much more,
which snug sum now goes Imo the City Treasury instead
of into the Receiver's private pocket: and it is to Mr.
Malloy% repeated offers, if elected, to glve thin amount to
the public, that we are mainly indebted for so early a
passage or the law compelling Receivers to do this. Mr.
M.'s card first drew pubde attention to this stupendous
perquisite of the office, started agitation on the subject of
repealing the law under which it necame such.and finally
caused the passage of the present law on the subject
Since Mr. Melloy's nomination appears to be conceded, it
is but just and p-oper that he shoald have the full benefit
of this tact,aa well as of the fact that ho is an industrious,
honest and correct business man and s good citizen. That
he would make a drat-rate Receiver no one denies.
[From Sunday Transcript, June 23th, 113013.]
hn hi. Mello, the candidate for Receiver of Taxes, is
an honest tradesman and a pnblic-epirited citizen. He
was among the first to condemn the Five Per Cent.
Frau
for te Tax Receiver's office. and though a candt
date th e position. was prominent in urging the repeal
of that measure of iniquity. The city owes him a debt of
grai Rude in this regard that it should not be slow to
repay.
[From Evening Telegraph, June 2ith. 1868
The nominee for Receiver of Taxes is John M. Melloy. a
tin tee, chant on Market street.svho is doubtless an honest
man: It tato him the credit is dub of giving up the five
per cent commission for which all the politicians for
years bave.sighed.
(From SundarT(mer. Juno 2.Bth, 1803.)
For Receiver of Taxes. John 3.4 Melloy, Es q.. has a
third time received the Democratic nomination Mr.
Melloy has been for many yeare in business in Market
street, as a large manufacturer of tin ware. His reputa
tion as a business man is A No. I. Although twice de
feated for the same office, yet like Mr. Fox, lie on both
occasions ran ahead of his ticket. Mr. 'Maley was the
_first candidate for Receiver to propose to forego the hand
some perquisites of the five per cent, on outstanding
taxes, amounting to some $28.000. it is said. Attention
MO thus called to the subject, sod legislative enactment
has been had which now puts that per tentage into the
City Treasury, be credit of the correction of the abuse

OrGENERAL TYNDALE.
Shameless politicians have called General TYlidale
an Atheist, a Debt. a .Freethinker, etc., and although
these charges have been denied, over and over again.,
yet the slanderers persist in their meanness. This is
worse than issuing forged naturalization papas to defeat
his election; but these unscrupulous men will data their
disreputable course just as they failed in their attempts
to destroy their country. I have known the heroic Tyn
dale for about a quarter of a century. and during one
half of that period I was his near neighbor. Our relations
were of the moat friendly character—indeed, rmay say I
know him intimately, and, therefore, I .am enabled
to speak with certainty of. hie opinions. His
political views are broad and liberal. I do not know a
better Democrat, within the honest meaning of that tench
abused word. In all matters relating to businees, poUtics,
religion. rdship. he is enlightened, just, single-minded
and man . He 11l religious--reverentially so. Vor the
Great Pat ler of all, and for His Son, the blessed Saviour
of tbo world, he is all love and devotion. No man ever
heard him utter an oath, in the way of profane swearing..
In charity , lie gives with unstinted hand. , Amk hundreds
of the poor in his vicinity. For twentycne years. his
house has been the resort of tho needy and
distressed. I could give numerous instances of
his active benevolence—ono must mulles; One
bitter December night, about Sftsen years
=me, I saw a crowd gathered at the corner of Tenth and
Arch. A poor old woman..hungry and sick and thinly.
. clad, had fallen from exhaustion to the eldewalk. As is
remsal on such occasions everybody pitied. but no one
helped her. Presently a stalwart man came upon the
scene. Itemised the poor woman tenderly, and finding
her too weak to walk. carried her Wills strong arms to
his own house where she was furnished with raiment,
meat and drink. and a bed. The next morning. invigo
rated, she went. away uttering benedictions. General
Tyndale had caved -her life.. I was a _silent observer

also inform me by the same note that
you "believe Sheriff Lyle has organized a force

She subject hes heart examined by toe, and I am of
the opinion that to you. as Mayor of the city, lit confided
by law the exclusive police powers within its corporate
fly the Consolle salon acta,and supplements therete,
the legislature has given to the City Councils unlimited
power over all matters connected with pollee within its
local jmisdiction.. This 17ae intended to supersede all
other authority over that subject —to prevent a conflict
between different officials and to concentrate in one
hand, subject to one general superviehm authority, the
force nece;.ar y to be created.
I ant of the iminion that Sheriff Lyle has no authority
to organize a force of deputies to attend at the ensuing
clectior. and exercise police powers at the various elec
tion precincts. ‘Vhatererpower he may poeseee,and that
remains to him after the acts of the Legislature upon the
subject. it is a common law power, and that i. by
the acts of Consolidation made subordinate to your
superhl and exclusive authority, The Sheriff
has no right at law to anticipate a public disturbance
merely because an election is about to be hold. and
under such a prat xi, days in advance of the event, to

they have " instructed and empowered you to appoint
such a number of extra policemen, to act on the day of
the election, for the purpose of preserving the peace and
keeping the election polls clear of disturbance as
you may in your judgment deem necessary!' This
power and instruction you must exercise and obey.

THE INDIAN WAR.
Col. Forsyth's Great Fight—lnteresting
Letter from General Brlsbln.
General Brisbin j writing to a friend in St.
Louis, under date September 8, says:—
I got hero this forenoon, after a most, fatiguing march
by day and night. By order of General firailley.eve pressed
forward to the relief of Colonel Forsyth,, of General
iiheridan'a etaff, who was surrounded by Indians on the
morning of the 17th inst. He tells me that, as he was at
breakfast onthatmorning,about a dozen Indians suddenly
charged through his camp, stampeding and capturing 7
head of horses. In a tew minutes afterwards a large
body of savages, dressed with feathers and painted for
war,were seen coming down's ravine on hhs left. Having
a bad position, Colonel Forsyth fell back a few hundred
yards to a little Wand in Dry Creek,where the men began
throwing up sand breastworks with their hands. Before,
however, they could make any shelter,fully MO warriors
charged thcm,and killed all their houses and several men.
The Indians fell back a little way after the first charge,
and the Indian women-and children appeared on the
hill, chanting the, war song, dancheg; -slapping their
hands, and apparently encouraging the intended to
re
new the attack . The Indians evidently intended to make
a Fort Fhil Kearny affair of it and the most skillful and
determined fighting only prevented them from killing
every man in Colonel Forsyth's command. Colonel For
syth fell at the first fire, receiving a ball in the right thigh
and one in the left leg, breaking it below the knee Two
companies of Indian Dog soldiers presently advanced to
the attack supported by three hundred warriors, prin
cipally elioux. and Cheyenne& For two hours the
battle raged with great fury, the Indians charging
the little sand breastworks repeatedly. Hundreds would
dash up on piniee, and having got near the works sud
denly throw themselves off on the gronnd, fire and sneak
away in the tall firma. Finding they could not carry the
works by charging, the hills and ravines were filled with
sharpshooters. and then Indians on horses would ride
around the fort in a circle to attract the:attention of the
besieged, and as they raised up to fire, Indian sharp
shooters would pick them off.
By noon oil the first day the Indian women changed
their war song to wailing for the dead, and one Woman
was heard exclaiming, ' Oh, my child! my child !^ The
battle lasted all day, Lieutenant Beecher, sth United
states Infantry, being mortally wounded by a ball in the

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
Some time ago I observed an article in the
Sunday Dispatca, casting some insinuation upon
the official conduct of George Getz, at the time.
be was a clerk in the Controller's office; and feel
ing a deep interest that, our city offices, especi
ally the Controller's, should be conducted in a.
proper manner and by those in whom the citi
zens have confidence, as it is the office of all
others on *bleb the community depend to detect
and corrdet anyy, abuses or errors in the accounts
of the several Departments of the City, I took
occasion to call in and ascertain for myself if any
cause existed for such insinuations, or whether
it was a mere political dodge. After consider
able labor I found that George Getz was
a clerk in ,;'the Controller's Department
under Stephen Taylor, in the year
1856, and that on the 14th ay of May, 1857, Mr.
Taylor appointed another to fill his place. By
reference to the official correspondence of the
office, I found a communication dated the 14th
day of April, 1858, in which the then Controller
notifies the party in the following language "I
find you were paid December 31,1858; $BB9 under
an appropriation made December 80, 1856, whilst
your bill calls for only $589, making a difference
Waver of the city of $3OO. Why the clerk then
in charge of your account with the city allowed
this difference does not appear upon his books,
the error, if it be one, being accidentally discov
ered by the present clerk only a few days since."
On examining the original bill I found the
amount to be footed up $583, and an error in ad
dition being corrected made it Anount to $589.
The course of business at that time appears to
have been for the clerk In charge to make out a
bill in aggregate from the items given him, and to
certify the same to the Department,which was en
titled to draw the warrant. This was done in
this case by George Getz, and upon his certificate
a wnrrant was drawn for $BB9 00, and paid by
the city, as any one may see for himself it' he will
take the trouble to examine the records of Mr.
Taylor in the Controller's Department. Com
ment upon such actions is unnecessary. It be
hooves every citizen who has the welfare and in
terest of our city at heart td inform himself of
the integrity, honor and capacity of those who
apply for our suffrage, and place none in power
whose past actions are open.to charges or insinu
ations of wrong-doing. EXAMINKR.
The following strong circular letter from a
number of our leading business houses to oar
citizens Qaplaims itself. It says nothing of or for
Mr. Gibbons which is not eminently true, and
worthy of the hearty approval of the people:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9, 1868.—Dear Sir: The
undersigned beg leave to recommend the election
of Charles Gibbons. Esq., to the office of District-
Patcrney. This office is one of the very highest
importance not only to the security of property,
but also to the safety of the person of the
citizen.
The acknowledged ability of Mr. Gibbons as a
lawyer and his integrity and firmness of purpose
eminently fit him for the position. The office is
seebing him, not he the office. He has no pri
vett ends to serve or personal enemies to punish.
He will neither be seduced nor terrified in the
discharge of duty. Such a man needs the sup
port of the citizens of Philadelphia, and we take
this mode o. inviting your active influence in
favor of his election.
Very respectfully yours.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Times, writing
from Reading, Pa., says :
That the Republican State ticket will be elected no one
questions now. The betting men have exhausted the
field in this State, and Tor the last week have been flock
ing to New York to test the confidence of the Democrats
there. They offer ten to one here on a Republican victory
and fmd no takers. Yet, notwithstandiag this confidence
in the result of the October election, they do not expect
anything like the majority then that they feel sure of in
November. If the State goes 15.000 or even 10,000 Repub
lican on Tuesday next, they are ready to bet en 30,000
and some as high as 40,000. for Grant in November.

bottom Is surely falling out of the Democratic tub. d.
Another correspondent writes as follows :
The Republicans of Allentown, whence I now write,
arc wide awake and full of enthusiasm. They ear they
shall reduce the Democratic majority of Lehigh Lounty
about 500 next Tuesday. The city is Republican and
contains a populatimi of about 20,000. A great Republican
mass-meeting and torchlight procession this evening is
to wind no the campaign. Genera] Banks and General
Lear are to address the people. A large mate-meettas
was held at Blatington, up the Lehigh river, one
night this week, to which Allentown sent a delegation of
over 200 Republicans. The miners of Slatington are mostly
Welch and vote the Republican ticket to a man. I learn
that the prospects in Northampton county, adjoining Le

to be before, Northampton Is en old Democratic county,
and last year gave nearly %MO majority for Shanswood.
It the Democracy carry it next Tuesday by 2.500 they will

than forty of them, / am told, are Republican.

The St. Lan dry Riot—Truthful Ac-
Count by an Eye-Witness.
A trustworthy correspondent of the New Or
leans Republican, who was In Opelousas, La.,
writes_thufollowing truthful account of the re
cent Rebel riot :
Last Monday morning three members of the Opelousas
"Seymour Knights" went to the colored school, on the
outer edge of the town, and severely whipped 81. r. Emer
eon Bentley the teacher, who is also English editor of the
St. Landry }' rouses. •I he attack was made because of
an article published by himiving en account of a Re.
publican meeting in Washington, in which he said that
some rebel spirit was exhibited by the Dinnocratic orga
nizations who met the procession at Washington. thor
oughly armed and equipped. The account was true in
every particular, which exurbs proved by over 500 per
sons who were at the meeting at 'Washington. Mr. Bentley
was an active leader of the Republican varty in the per
il h. and as the news of his being whipped spread over
Opelousas, the freedmen began assemblingarmed. But
Dir. Bentley and many others told them to go back to
their homes and not to start any riot, which advice hav
ing been followed, apprehensions of a difficulty subsided.
Mr. Bentley made affidavits agsatust the threepersons who
assaulted him, and warrants were granted for their ar
rests, the time set for the trial being three o'clock in the
afternoon. At atone 11 o'clock A. hl, the rebels had as
sembled in strong force, armed witlinew guns, revolvers.
etc., and, taking an advantage of the return of the Repub
licans to their homes.they took possession of the town,and
sent patrols around to disarm the freedmen and capture
the leaders of their party, who were obliged to conceal
themselves or take refuge an flight, if they were lucky
enough to get out of the town. At about 11 or 12 o'clock
A. M. the same day, a body of armed men went to the
office of The Progress to see Messrs. Gustave and Corne
lius Donato, who were at the office, and told them that
the town belonged to them (the rebels), and that If the
Radicals+ wanted to get possession of it they could do so
only by riding over the bodies of the "peace

people of the .p_arish. They had captured a courier
on the road to Washington.. who had told them that
Mr. G. Donato had sent him to Washington to tell
Fan Johnson to bring..-the Washington club. armed, to

with Mr, Donato, he said that somebo_ft . had told him
that Mr. Donato wanted ithnito go to Waahington. At
.this juncture a courier informed the crowd at The Pro.

TEE SPANISTI REVOLUTION.
Behavior of the Queen
A letter from St. Sebastian on the 25th of Sep
tember gives the following strange account of the
behavior of the Queen: "The Queen has moments
of passion which she cannot conquer. She coin
plains of everything and everybody. She abuses
her Ministers, and even her femmes de chambre,
who have passed over to the enemy's camp.
During one of these crises she received a visit
from an exalted Spanish financier, who advised
her to set oat for Madrid with the King and
her children. "But alone" (sofa) he added.
"What, alone !" replied the Queen. "Yes," re
joined the financier. "I don't understand you,
explain yourself," cried Isabella. "What do you
mean by sole ?" "Well, alone, without your
companion." At these words Isabella,rushing at
the financier seized him by his coat, shook him,
rated him, andi drove him away while applying to
him the most violent epithets. "Set out without
him! cola—Wretch! Set out without him!
Never !" Such, (says the writer of this account)
is the story related by one of the two witnesses
of the scene—guess which?

writes, tinder date of September 24:
"What constitutes a dreadful background to the pic

Encyclical - Letters Irons the Pope-I'y_
rannical Cononct of the Pontiff.
The Roman correspondent of the Pall Mall
Gazette, writing
. under date of 'September 21,
says:
Yesterday morning the Pope held a secret coneistory,
in which he confirmed several bishops , and dLstributed
among the cardinals two encyclicals, one addressed to
the schismatic bishops of the East, the other to the
bishops of .icily. The encyclical for the Eastern Church
(dated September 8) assures the dissenting Wheys that
the Pope , . solicitude extends to all Christian communions
which receive baptism, and that he considers it his duty
to reunite to the Holy See all the Churches which
have gone out of it. He refers to his encyclical. In Ste.
nretna, addressed to the bishops of the East on January
4,1848, remarking that, though it has been without
results, he does not - the less hope that nis
ardent prayent to Heaven to bring about a
cordial understanding with the Churches of the East
will be effectuaL He informs the bishops of his convo
cation of an cecumenical synod on the Bth of December,
1869, and conjures them to take part in its deliberations ,
as their ancestors. at the bidding of Gregory X. attended
the second council of Lyons. and, by the invitation of
Eugene IV.. the council of Florence. This encyclical is
expected to produce a great effect on the Eastern Church.
It is not only to the schismatic bishops of the East, how
ever, that the council will be thrown open, as the Holy
Father, I am assure& accords the salll2oprivilege to the
bishops and dignitaries of the Church of England.
The encyclical to the bishops of Sicily fulminates the
major excommun.cation against Monsignor Cirino El
naldi. fudge of the tribunal of the Apostolic Legation in
that Island, and revives the fiercest anathema of the mid
dle ages. It le called "Vitanda," because it enjoins all
Catholics to avoid the person excommunicated as a peat.
Such a decree is never issued. but in very extreme cases,
and then only after process before the ecclesiastical tri
bunals; nor is there any precedent for its fulmination in
the present instance But no pope his cowered on such
arbitrary acts of Pius IL, and the koman clergy declare
that he has endeavored "to establish a despotism in the
Catholic Church, of 'which the organization is essentially
constitutional, and even republican."
