THE SUPBESIE C 011111".
A cruel wrong has been inflicted upon the
moral sense of this community by the pro
ceedings of the two Democratic judges of the
Supreme Cana. This is a people reverencing
law, with all that feeling that has grown by
the prevalence of a love for truth and
order, and by the traditions of Courts which
have come down to us with the long lines of
the illustrious men who have graced the
bench. With very rare exceptions,—"few
and far between,"—the judges of our State
and city Courts have so maintained the law
in its purity, dignity and majesty, that ail
mien have honored-the ministers as they have
obeyed the mandates of the law. But what
must be felt by all thinking , men of the spec
tacle which the Supreme Court now presents?
A thrill of painful surprise runs through the
whole body-politic, as it fade that a blow has
been struck at the very majesty of Law by
those to whom its guardianship of that ma
jesty has been chiefly entrusted.
We should be slow to impugn men's mo
tiveS, but we should be bold to criticise their
public acts. A "public act," in this country,
is the act of one of the servants . of the people,
and the people delegate no single power for
the proper exercise of which they do not
hold their servant to a strict accountability.
Hasty or frivolous criticism, especially when
it applies to the courts and agents of the law,
is always to be reprobated, but still more
is that practice to be repudiated which
would denounce small offenders, while
it screens great ones; that condemns the
"Piggy" Divines Of society, while it excuses
the - Thompsons and the Sharswoods.
The proceedings in the Supreme Court,
growing out of the discovery of fraudulent
naturalization papers, have been watched
with intense solicitude by all classes of the
community. While the politicians cf the
Democratic party have waited breathlessly
to -see whether their infamous scheme
of fraud was to be 'exposed, de
feated and punished, the law-abiding
citizens of Philadelphia have looked
on, with tenacious faith that Law and Justice
would prevail over prejudice and partisan
ship. They have been most unwilling that
that faith should be shaken, or that the Su
preme,Court,or any court,should be degraded
ttomlthe high position in the confidence of
the people which it.has held from the begin
ning.
The fears of the conspirators have been al
layed. The worst fears of the people have
been realized. After such an exposure of
the process of manufacturing voters
in Colonel Snowden's office as has
been made, the community has seen both
Chief-Justice Thompson and Judge Shars
wood actively and tacitly arraying themselves
on that side frOiri — WhiCh the fraud has come,
and against the . efforts that have been made
for its prevention: The Chief-Justice comes
down, unbidden, from the bench, and puts
himself on the witness-stand, swearing
point-blank to the signature of Colonel
Snowden, when that officer himself
swears to his inability to decide upon
its authenticity ! And Judge Share wood, with
a bundle of fraudulent naturalization papers
inhis hand,. harangues about the supremacy
of the.vety seal which he says has been coun
terfeited; palliates the eounterfeiting by sug
gesting that he does not think there have been
a great many fraudulent papers circulated,
but that these seals which hg
,assumed to be
fraudulent are merely "single, separate im
pressions," bows from the beach of the Su
preme Court to "Piggy" Divine, as a most
credible and intelligent and conclusive
witness; charges, upon no evidence but that
of .a .man who Mr. Cuyler said was "hardly
removed from idiocy' and besotted with li
quor," and who testified to his . own inability
to give .- any account of .himself, that these
fraudulent paw e were the work of his "poli
tical enemies;" impugns the evidence of a po
lice officer and a tunikey, whose characters
have never been impeached; and so turns the
whole case out of Court.
Who can read all this, and then compare
its manifest tone with the indignant letters of
Judges Read and Agnew . ; and feel that the
I.aw has,not suffered a cruel "wrong at the
hands of its sworn mblisters? Judge Agnew's
letter to Colonel Snowden is that of a man
whose righteous indignation has been roused
by these exposures. He denounces the doings
in hi&Court as "unintelligible, informal, dis
orderly and illegal," and well he may. Both
he and Judge Read have felt con
strained to press every point to pro
tect their Court from the damage
which has been inflicted upon it. But so far
as the Court is concerned, the damage is
done. Public confidence is shaken as it was
never shaken before, and the community
must outlive its memories of the past week,
and the names of Thompson and Sharswood
must pftss from the roll of the bench before
this grievous wound will he wholly healed.
Good often comes out of evil The people
have been stirred up to protect themselves,
sad' the monstrous scheme of fraud which
has been done in the name and under the
seal of the Court, probably both genuine and
forged, will secure for us such a reform as
will protect the Court against itself, and pro
tect the - people against the repetition of such
disgraceful proceedings as they 4Lave wit
nessed during the past week.

D/1311110CRATIO FUMY.
When Satan desires to be peculiarly glee
,.
five he puts on a cowl and fingers a rosary.
The singlequality that he admires in religion
is its servicablentss as a cloak for wickedness;
and his human disciples, following his ogam
plc, have not been slow to avail themselves
of the respectability of piety, to recommend
their iniquitous schemes to their folloW men.
The sudden display of religions fervor on the
part ofsAmerican Democracy of late, is lia
ble to this suspicion. The charitable might
perhaps attribute it to that inclination for
piety which often comes with a conviction of
rapidly approaching dissolution. But even
if Democracy were conscious of the coining
pangs, we -should question its repentance.
There are hardened sinners who do not hope
for pardon. We must accept the theory that
Democracy has adopted sanctimonybecause
it recognizes the desperation of its cause, and
knows the necessity of making an extraordi
nary effort. It is hardly at home in a Chris
tian character, and it plays the part so awk
wardly that the horns and barbed tail and
cloven hoofs are entirely perceptible to every
body. When the Democratic party come
before an intelligent community, and try to
elect one man because he is a Methodist, and
another because he is Superintendent of a
Sunday-school; and *hen they forge a lie to
the effect that an opponent is an atheist,' and
then affect holy horror at the prospect of his
ruling over' a God-fearing people,' men only
chuckle at the sublimity of the impudent as
sumption, and begin to reflect upon the re
cord of the party and the character of the
men who lead it.
If the Democracy understood the first prin
ciples of vital religion, they would know
that consistency is a very important part of
it. Religious men do not forge naturalization
papers by thousands, nor dip them in coffee
pots to give them an aged appearance; they
do not perjure themselves, or induce others
to swear falsely "sixty times for a few glasses
of beer;" they do not frequent such delightful
localities as Leckfeldes, nor do they regard
it as essential to the interests of true piety to
colonize twenty or thirty ignorant men in a
house in which Probst satiated his base
appetites;.they do not publish known lies in
their papers; an Omen they find that they
have given publicity to a falsehood, they re
tract it like honest men and gentlemen. They
do not read only three words of the scrip
tural text "Suffer little children," and re
jecting the rest, compel little children to
suffer by burning down orphan asylums, as
Democratic Christians did in New York;
and they do not teach the doctrine that a
large part of the whole duty of man is to re
pudiate his honest debts.
Democracy is hardly up to the Christian
standard yet. There is room for a very great
deal of missionary work in the party, before it
can be properly converted. Whether this
will ever be effected or not, we cannot tell. It
is to be hoped so, for then there will be no De
mocratic party.' If darkness is made light,it
is no longer , darkness. At present, however,
we must decidedly refuse to recognize De
mocracy as a branch of the church militant;
but we are prepared, in all charity, to preach
a funeral discourse over its inanimate remains
in October, and to give it a final requiescat
in pace, on the third of November. It will
fulfil its noblest use, when its untimely fate
serves as an awful warning for all future
parties that may venture to insult the sense
of decency of the American people.
HARTKAINFIr AND CAMPBELL.
The two nominees on the State ticket are
worthy of the unanimous support of the Re
publican party. Gen. Hartranft, besides
having a noble record as a soldier, has made
a most faithful and efficient Auditor-General-
During his term the State debt has been very
largely teduced, and so have the State taxes.
Surveyor-General Campbell was also a gal
lant soldier, and the duties of his office have
been admirably performed. His and Gen
eral Hartranft's re-election is demanded on
every principle of propriety, public good and
gratitude for patriotic service in military as
well as civil life. The Republicans of Phila
delphia should give their full vote for these
well-tried and faithful officers of the Com
monwealth.
The question for Philadelphians to decide
to-morrow is not "shall an atheist rule over
a God-fearing people ?" unless indeed Demo
cracy has a candidate whose religious views
are consistent with his political opinions;
but it is whether a rebel sympathizer, and a
bitter opponent of the war for the preserva
tion of the Union,-shall govern a loyal people
who sacrificed their blood and treasure to
save their country. And there is another
question involved in he contest. Shall the
people of this most patriotic city reject a man
like General Tyndale, whose scars are his
eloquent title to high consideration, and place
in their chief magistracy a sleek secessionist,
who had no sympathy with the loyalty and
devotion which made this city conspicuous
during the war, and who felt nothing but
joy when the rebel army marched upon
Philadelphia and threatened it with destruc
tion.?
it is an old dodge for a hotly pursued thief
to distract attention from himself by joining
in the hue and cry, and shouting "stop thief'
as lustily as those who are at his heels. The
Age. this morning , . indulges in this little
game. It announces that the Republicans
have filled the upper Wards of the city with
ruffians., who will turn off the gas to-morrow
night, seize the ball +t boxes, and Wen proceed
to sack the houses and stores in that section,
murdering and plundering with impunity.
We are informed by the Age that Governor
Geary is closeted with these ruffians and will
pardon all of them if' convicted. This fright
ful tale may serve to scare little children and
make them sleep with their heads under the
bed clothes, but it will only be laughed at by
intelligent men and women. As a diversion
in favor of the enemy it is a failure; but its
impudence, in view of the fact that this city
is this day crowded with ruffian Democratic
colonizers from New York and Baltimore, is
amazing.
Let no man account it a small thing that
he chooses to stay away from the poll to
morrow. By the neglect and apathy of Re
publicans last year, not less than by Demo
cratic frauds, a judge was placed upon the
bench, who, in this more important contest,
prostituted his high office, and tarnished the
purity of his court to protect the most infa
mous attempt that was ever made to tamper
with the ballot-box, and defeat the will of a
free people. The negligence of to day is the
s eed of the harvest of future ruin.
THE .DAILY EVENING BULLETIN---PHILA PELIT lA, IiONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1868.
The 'C'hiefJustiee affects to believe that
Judge Read's letter hi which he expresses an
opinion on the existing practice of his court
disqualifieit hlm from sitting in judgment
upon future cases groWing out of that prac
tice. 'This affectation is in ' accordance with
: the general attitude of the two Democratic
judges. Judge Sharswood echoes the idea in
his opinion of Saturday, wherein he indulges
in sarcastic• allusions to - Judge Read, under
the thin veil of declining to prejudge a
question that may come before the court in
Now upon this question of disqualification,
there is a very grave thing to be said and to be
remembered No one supposes that Judge
Sharswood, with all his bitter political preju
dices, was, in any sense, a party to Mr. Wal
lace's coffee-pot frauds in Luzerne county, or
to these later ones now Occupying the public
mind. But Judge Sharswood knows that
those frauds have teen abundantly proved.
He knows that he holds office because Judge
Williams would not contest his seat. He
knows that it is not too strong an expression
to say that his own seat on the. Supreme
Bench is stu f fed with fraudulent natura
lization papers, manufactured in Luzerne
county. Now all this may not legally dis
qualify Judge Sherwood from sitting in
such eases as that which he disposed of on
Saturday; but it might suggest to him and to
Judge Thompson the propriety of, refraining
from criticising the conduct of their brother
justices, whose whole purpose .has,•evidently
been to preserve their Court from being made
the machine-shop of the Democracy,• and the
manufactory of illegal voters.
Upon the issue of tomorrow's contest de
pends something more than the success or
defeat of a mere local ticket. If Pennsyl
vania does herself dishonor and gives herself
up to Democracy, there will be such rejoicing
among Southern rebels as there has not been
sinee Mr. Lincoln's death. The Democratic
party will accept the result as a verdict in
favor of their wicked platform; the timid and
weak in our own ranks will waver in their
allegiance to the right; the butcher Forrest
will feel bold to proclaim again his intention
to inaugurate a war in which he "will give
no quarter;" the blacks in the South will be
murdered with greater impunity; treason, will
dare again to be blatant; the results of all the
misery and suffering and slaughter of the war
will be forfeited; it will be justly said that we
have joined hands with the rebels who are
striving to revive the lost cause; and we
shall openly accept the theory that repudia
tion of our righteous obligations is our duty.
The failure of Pennsylvania to do its duty
will be the beginning of fresh dishonor, dis
aster and ruin.
The Copperhead papers last year falsely
charged Judge Williams with being a repudi
ationist, and for several months they daily
urged upon their readers the necessity of con
demning utterly such dishonesty in his per
son by refusing to elect him. The Democrat
ic platform had no existence then, bat every
man who accepted a Copperhead nomination
this fall, placed himself squarely on that infa
mous set of principles which pledges the
whole party to repudiation of tli?,
war debt. There -can be no successful
denial of this fact, as there was in the case of
Judge Williams; and accepting the arguments
of the Democracy of last year,it becomes our
duty to defeat Messrs. Hirst and Greenbank,
and place upon the bench men who have no
sympathy with rascality and dishonesty. If
Judge Williams' supposed advocacy of State
repudiation was wicked, how much more
infamous is the theory of the men who are
pledged to disavow our national obligations
ineuged to suppress a Democratic rebellion?
It is difficult to express in language the
monstrous character of the outrage which the
Democratic party will to-morrow perpetrate
upon the people by means of their fraudulent
naturalizations. The expressed wish of five
or six thousand American citizfts in this city
will be neutralized by men who have no more
right to vote than the same number of Fejee
islanders. The Democratic party have just
as good a right to send out to Oceanica, pro
cure the opinions of six thousand cannibals,
and stuff these into the ballot box as votes,
as they have to bring forward that many
Europeans to participate in this contest. If
we are defeated it will not be by American
citizens, but by a multitude of men, who do
not comprehend the issues of the campaign,
and who can have no possible interest in it
ei!her way.
Rev. Dr. Moriarty, who, after all, is only
one man, announces in a card, that• he will
vote the Democratic ticket. This he, of
course, has a perfect right to do; but we
would like to know whether he uses hia'"in
fluence as a Catholic priest to elect Mr. Taos.
Greenbank, because he is a Methodist ? Mr.
Greenbank bases his claim to a seat up.m
the bench. upon his membership in the
Methodist Church. This is decidedly his
best title to the position. But why should a
minister of the Catholic Church grow enthu
siastic over the fact ? We should be glad to
have the two denominations fraternize and
institute "an era of good feehng," but despite
Dr. Moriarty, we do not believe the Catholic
Church is quite readylfor that yet.
Mr. Samuel J. Randall, backed by Judge
Sharswood's decision, shamelessly instructs
the illegally naturalized foreigners that they
can vote with impunity. This is the man
who insulted the "Boys in Blue," with the as
sertion that they had assembled in this city for
colonization purposes, while at the same time
the orders upon which foreigners procured
their fraudulent papers were signed with his
name. The people of the first district owe it
to themselves and to the city,to defeat him at
the polls; and it is the duty of citizens every
where to challenge suspicious voters, and de
tect, if possible, all of R'andall's rascally pro
tefp's. American citizens, not Sharswood
citizens, alone have a right to vote.
What is the "outside guarantee" that Colo
nel Snowden is to fall back upon for his natu
ralization fees? Can it be, as Judge Agnew
suggests, that he has "rushed these papers
through in more than a maelstrom current,"
for nothing, just for want of time to collect
his fees ?
When the Union army wavered and broke
at Winchester, Sheridan rallied them by the
electric force of his personal presence. To
day, his voice comes ringing from the Far
West, with the inspiring cry : "EVERY
MAN WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY
SHOULD VOTE FOR GRANT."
"Under the system . , of introducing politics
upon the bench;`inen will" hold their lives,
liberty and proUerty at the mercy of a con
'stlintly shifting majorityi" This is what the
Age said last year; but the Democracy
fraudulently elected: Judge Sharsivocid,
bitter partisan. We perceive 'the reedit in
the present prostitution'and degradation of
the Supreme Court. Let us this year resolve
to elect the pure and able jurists
Judges Hare and Thayer, and con
demn' to private life men whose
political, bias is stronger than; their sense of
duty. We have had enough of a Democratic
judiciary. A few more such examples and
elections will be farcical, and the right
of-suffrage a barren privilege-
Mr. Sam. Randall is franking a circular to
merchants'and others of Philadelphia, par
pOrting to, be the, proceedings of a meeting of
merchants; held at the Democratic headquar
ters, the Merchants' Hotel, recommending
Albert W. Fletcher for PrOthonotary of the
Common Pleas, "independent of politics."
We ,should like to have the names of the
"merchants of Philadelphia" who prefer Mr.
Albert W. Fletcher to the loyal Captain Rich
ard Donegan of the Com Exchange Regiment.
The merchants of Philadelphia are all right
on the Union question, in spite of the procli
vities of a few of their clerks, backed by Mr.
Sam. Randall.
Republicans of Philadelphia, vote your
whole ticket. Last year,in an excess of gene
rosity and confidence, a large number of
/Re
publican votes were cast for Judge Sher
wood, and with these and fraudulent vo ,
he was elected. He is now showing h w
misplaced this confidence was, by actin the
partisan on the Supreme Bench, by co ate
nancing the vilest and most extensive natu
ralization frauds ever known,and by excusing
the perpetrators of these frauds when an at
tempt is made to check them. After such
experience, every good Republican should
resolve to vote his whole ticket without
scratching.
If persistent falsehood, virulent malevo
lence, and constant violation of the decencies
of life are inconsistent with piety, the editors
of the Age are irreligious men. According
to their own doctrine such individuals are
wholly unfit to lead a God-fearing people.
Are we then to conclude that Democrats are
not to be classed under that head? or mus
we believe that the Age has been preaching
a lie? Its previous record affords many strong
reasons for inclining to the latter opinion,
but we will not be far from the truth if we
accept both.
Let fraudulent voters bear in mind this im
portant fact. If they attempt to exercise the
right of suffrage, and are discovered, they are
liable to imprisonment, and they then forfeit
forever the privilege of voting or holding
office in Pennsylvania. The polls will be
carefully guarded to-morrow, and it will be
well for every illegally naturalized foreigner
to ask himself whether the risk is worth
tiling. On the one hand are a few Demo
cratic dollars; on the other the penitentiary,
and perpetual disability.
The Attorney-General having given his
positive and authoritative decision upon the
question of the right of the Sheriff to inter
fere with the election to-morrow, we presume
that that officer will scarcely bring himself
wilfullx under the strong arm of the law by
trespassing upon premises from which he has
been so emphatically warned off. If he should
be so indiscreet it will probably result in a
very speedy restoration of his office to the
hands of the Republican party, where every
office in Philadelphia properly belongs.
In the face of Judge Agnew's scathing de
nunciation of Judge Sharswood's connivance
at the naturalization frauds, published on
Saturday, Mr. Samuel J. Randall announced
in the papers yesterday that Judge Read had
misrepresented Judge Agnew's opinions, and
that the latter did not disapprove of the pros
titution of the Supreme Court to the basest
uses of partisanship. Men who inaugurate
a frightful system of fraud, will not hesitate
at anything to bolster up their cau
Despite Democratic denial of the fact, Hr.
Richard Peitz was the first Receiver of Taxes
who voluntarily gave up a legitimate commis
sion, which has placed $20,000 per annum in
the city treasury. We challenge proof to the
contrary. He is now a candidate for re-elec
tion to an office for which long experience
eminently fits him, and which he richly de
serves for his self-sacrificing . consideration of
the interests of tax-payers.
As we predicted, the Age repeats its cal
umnies against General Tyndale, this morn
ing, rolling them as a choice morsel under
its tongue, not to be disgorged or swallowed
so long as the least flavor of falsehood can be
got out of it. But the Age has over-shot the
mark, and while it has disgusted many it has
deceived none with thislAtenipt - to — blast the
personal character of an upright and worthy
citizen of Philadelphia.
It will be for Pennsylvania soldiers who
propose to vote with the• Democratic party
to-morrow,to remember that this organiza
tion used its utmost eff)rt to effect, their dis
franchisement while they were in the field.
They will set the seal of their approval up3n
that effort, if they give to the Democracy the
votes of which the latter strove to deprive
them.
Pennsylvania to-morrow will strike the
first blow against the great enemy , of the Re
public. Let it be seen to, that she does the
work effectually, and with no blunted
weapon. Let her play the Casca to this im
perial Caesar of the Democracy, and fell it
with one mighty blow.
Remember General Grant to-morrow. No
one doubts where Hector Tyndale stood in
1861, and General Grant says: "VOTE
ONLY FOR SUCH MEN AS WERE
LOYAL TO THE COUNTRY IN 1861."
The Democracy not only strive to dis
franchise the Southern negroes, but they pro
pose to deprive Northern white men of their
suffrages. Every vote polled to-morrow by
-Democratic colonizers, and by illegally na
turalized foreigners, disfranchises an Ameri
can citizen by rendering his vote null and
void.
Challenge every naturalization paper of. the
Supreme Court, issued this year.VAcidge
Agnew declares them "unintelligible, infor
mal, disorderly and illegal." And Judges
Read asji Williams sustain tbi opinion.
Information 'has been received. that - the
Democracy, in despair atiotiing the`Third
District, have* potitegyrepared for that Die-
trict on election day, stating that Mr. Myers
voted against the bounties' to 'sailors. This
an infamous falsehood. 34r t Myers 'Waft
prominent in occnring bounties for ioldiers
and sailors, and two years azo, 700 of them
in his District signed a paper calling on the
citizens to re-elect hini. Moro than' this, he
has taken a prominent part hi endeavoring
to' secure a like bounty for coal-passers and
all others who served in the Navy during the
war. The men of our army and 'navy, as
well as the workingmert of the Third District,
whom he has relieved from taxes, owe Mr.
Myers a debt of gratitude and intend to repay
it.
Voters to-morrow should ekatnine their
tickets with the most scrupulous care. The
Democrats are circulating Republican tickets
with the names of one or more Copperh! . ad
candidates inserted.

WAsnmoTort, Oct. 10,1868.—Every.one here'
of both political parties, is anxiously awaiting
the result of the election in . Pennsylvania and
Ohio on Tuesday next. The energetic measures
adopted by the Union Lennie of your city.,-Dis
trict-Attorney Mann, and 'by blayor McMichael,
in trying to cheek naturalization frauds, meet
with warm commendation, for I need hardly as
sure you that every fluctuation in the tide of bat
tle in your noble old State meets with sympathe
tic response in this the great political centre of
the nation. When the discovery began to be made
that a wholesale system o fraud in naturalizing
foreigners was in progress in Philadelphia, and
throughout Pennsylvania., by the desperate and
unprincipled Democrats,. a feeling of alarm over
spread the faithful merribers of the Republican
party here, and they soon sent forth the notes of
warning to some of your confiding and unsus
pecting political friends, who could scarcely
credit the fact that such villainy was being prac-
Wed in their midst. But the determination
shown by your noble Union League„,your Dis
trict Attorney and Mayor, to grapple with and
defeat these treacherous scoundrels who would
pollute the sanctity of the ballot-box, has
completely reassured your friends here, who feel
confident that you will roll up a handsome ma
jotity' for. the Republican ticket on. Tuesday,
lirbiw4 - 1•11/ insure a still more glorious victory for
Grant and Colfax in :7.3v cm 1) or. The decision of
ludgcSharirrend in the tlionkti it

Republicans an , advantage;and we con
jure you to see to it that not n Single 'naturalize,'

to entitle the holder to VOW. '
WHAT 18 EMIG DMIle HEIM. ' -
The Republicans of Philidelphts must not
think that victory can be achieved over .11128CrII
polons and active opponents by simply protest
mg against fraud, without taking strong and
practical measures to counteract it. To bo +suc
cessful. they must work, and that, too, ;"with a
will." In order to show you what work is
being done here, in , aid of the good
cause, I can state" from the tecords, that there
have been twelve mttlione of documents issued dur
ing the present campaign under the auspices of
the Congressional Executive Committee, one-half
of which has been distributed directly by the
committee, and the other half by the National
and State Executive Committees, through the,
agency of the first-named organization. The
documents diatributed by the Congressional
Committee, would weigh over seventy tons in
paper alone, and if bound. in volumes, would
Make over one hundred thousand octavo vol
awes of four hundred and eighty pages each.
Besides all this reading matter, the Cnngres
alone! Committee have issued several millions
of,postere, illustrated placards, and documents
for particular localities, which arc not included
in the twelve millions referred to above. These
documents have beell disseminated over every
portion of , our widely extended country, and the
seed thus sown will undoubtedly bring forth an
abundant harvest. Tills exhibit shows the im
mense amount of work done hero for the benefit
of the Republican party, and must encourage
your friends In the Keystone State to do their
ehare, and all will be well.

ITOW SLOANAKER WAS. REGARDED IN TEXAS
The editor of Flake'e / Bulletin, of Galveston, on
learning that "Judge" Sloanaker was making
speeches in Ohio, gets,off the bellowing anecdote
in the Issue of thatpaper of September 22. He
says:
"During the impeachment trial; Sloanaker vi
sited the sanctum of Flake's 13ulletin every even
ing, and sat there till the last telegram was re
ceived. At the commencement of the trial, when
it looked as if Andy's days were numbered.
Sloanaker turned Radical, and made a speech to
the colored• Sunday School. Presently
came the news that the eleventh article
was defeated, and that the President
had triumphed. 'Sloanaker', said a gentlemen,
'What on earth - Will you do ? You came here a
roaring Democrat, with an office under the Presi
dent. Then you turned Republican when he was
likely to be convicted, and now that has failed.
Parties are changing eo fast that I don't see what
you will do "Ob, replied Sloanaker, with an
oath, 'l'd like to see any partychange faster than
I can.' If Sloanaker is stW In the canvass is
Cincinnati, we will pay any reasonable price for
a phonographic report of his speech about
Texas. It would be appreciated and enjoyed in
these parts." Susgr ernANN A.
STABE/NG Ar FRAY.—Last evening, about. half
past eight o'clock, three youths zot into a dis

of the youths, was stabbed in the breast with a

wounded. He was conveyed to his

The two Italians were arrested by Policeman

Yesterday the rut terse, a bitter partisan sheet pub

lowing Juts - moue editorial'
The election for this State will take place on the day
after tomorrow. Like good patriots and true members
of the community . we hope that every citizen will vote
early in the morning, late at night, and as often as pea
sable dining the day. If the right of suffrage is a great
political tight, it deserves as frequent exercise
as it is possible to give it on the
days of its teat It is true that there
are malignant laws tor the punishment of the patriotic
act of voting mere than once at one and the same deo—
lien. But it is people without any public spirit that are
afraid of these bad statutes. The citizens of true na
tional courage never shrink from the penalty of imprison
ment and mulctation attached to them: brat skilfully and
baldly they both circumvent and defy them—thus doing
high honor to their manhood, and Important service Pe
their country. The only way to cover an opposing party
with the ehatne of defeat is toPote as 'frequently against
it as possible. 'As in the field of war against treason and
invasion. every aoldieris bound by all the laws of pride,
justice, humanity and valor, to give his musket no rest in
sending bullets into the camp of the ene-my; so' in the
more important contest of the scramble for the offices of
the nation, each geed citizen is under a moat sacred
duty to be as continuous as ever he can in putting votes
in the ballot-box against the peculating faction that
would have all the good things of this glorious Republic
to itself. Therefore: we say go to the polls early; go to
them late, and go to them as often as you can during the
day tinivetsal suffrage means nothing if it does not
Justify this.

had cut his children's throats. and was found in his

thst <he bad premeditated killing his entire family,
and had written a letter to a relative giving directions
concerning the burial. and that he proposed then to com

not slept one hour in twenty-four for four weeks. He. was
taken so the asylum yesterday and has since been quiet,
and at times wholly unconscious. He had been under
medical treatment about one year. a sunstroke last salm

and is attended by skillful physicians. The older boy
was found dead,but his younger brother will probably
recover. as his wound was dressed soon after the dis

EFrom the N. Y. Herald of to.dar.i
Ocr. he gold market had a declining tendency
during the whole of last week, owing to the persistent
oPersotions of the bears. and sales were made after the
adjournment of the board yesterday es low as 137%, al.
though this price was bid at the close. The extreme
fluctuations were limited' to two and a half per cent,•
the highest point touched —having been 140% on
Monday morning. The daily volume of transac
tions was large, and the current of speculation 'was ak
boost entirely for a fait the purchases made being almost
entirely to cover "short" contracts.. The mnemonic com
munity shared in the bearish feeling of the Gold Room.
and, as usual, borrower' instead of bought their gold for
customs duties, and the provionelyheavy "short" interest
was largely increased.,
Money was in good supply during the week at sir and
seven per cent. at the Stock Exchange, with most of the
transactions at• the lower rate. In commercial paper
there was a moderate business transacted. and the best
grade at three and four months was Newnanyy taken at
three per cent, discount. this being .the minimum rate.
The demand for loans on miscellaneous stocks on
Saturday afternoon was quicker than usual since
tile recent stringency, and the rate was seven per
cent almost without exception. A rumor at the same time
gained cuirency that another "squeeze" in the money
market would lbe artificially produced this week for the
purpose which the bra failed to accomplish when they
last experienced in this direction. But If the attempt is
made it is to be hoped it will fail of its intended result,
there being n othing legitimate but much that is discred
itable in kind of warfare. The statement of the
associatedbanks of this city for the week
show some important and unexpected changes
of an unfavorable character. The depoefht have decreased
56,ee5,160. although there was no considerable drain of
currency westward apparent. The specie has decreased
bi 1.411.7.08, so that the loss in general deposits was only
about three millions and a half. 'Metonym have decreased
53,36&%iff, bu
shows egal tenders only $235,36L The circu
lation alone an increase—aamely, $33X97. '
The market for government securities opened stron&
and the reaction from the depression of the previous week
made further progress; but dullness soon intervened, al
though the principal dealers reported a good demand for
investment from the country and some purchases by the
foreign bankers. The disposition was general towards the
close to defer operations until after the result of the Penna.
election has become known. and at the same time the
continued decline in gold depressed quotations slightly ;
but considering the reduced premium they elbow great
firmness. The tendency of a Republican victory in -Penn
sylvania will be to etrengthen governments materially.
and there is a wide margin for improvement, our national
tecoulties being relatively cheaper than any others in the
country. •
[From the N. Y. World of to-day.)
Our. le—The Government bond market was quiet but
steady throughout the day and firmer at the close. The
leading dealers report a steady demand for the new
bonds from the country.
The money market is quiet and easy at 6to 7 per cent.
on cell. It was again reported to-day that the stock
jobbing bear clique would make another effort to lock up
grecubacks and make the money market eight, but there
are no symptoms of any ouch movement. and it would be
difficult to consummate without the co-operation of some
of the banks or trust companies, which we hope may not
be obtained.
The Fold market was heavy throughout the day, open
ing at 128% and closing at at 31'. M. The rates paid
for borrowing were 5-64, 1-1 364. 1-64. and 6 per cent.
to flat, and afterward and 2 per cent.
After tbo Board adjourned the price ranged from ISt% to
131. with °BCH? , gs at VA at 5 P. 5L The temper of the
room is bearieb, and merchants are not disposed to buy
excepting at much lower quotations.
The operations of the Gold Etchange Bank to-day were
as follows
Gold balances.... 52,316.793 99
Currency balances 4.043,565 90
Gross clearances 41.317.000 Ofi
The foreign exchange market is firmer and advanced
after the sailing of the packet, owing to the decline in
the price of gold and the security of commercial bills.
Some of the leading prime bankers refuse to name a rate.
and others ask 1093 i for Fixty.day sterling. and 106114 to
110 for sight. The Wee, howevor, are nominal, as no
tramiactiona are reported above 10939 to Mb,.

said : Before proceeding with the business of this Court I
desire to announce the result of a comiultationheldby my

elon co-morrow. the day of the Ueneral Election. Under
the constitution and laws of the Commonwealth
elections are to be free, and in order that.
as far as thin t,ourt can act, no il
legal arrest shall be made, and especially
that no elebtor or other citizen shall be arrested and com
mitted to prison without bail, a session of this court will
be held to-morrow. I will be in attendance at the usual
hour, and in all cases where eitizens have been commit
ted without bail I will give summary relief by immedi
ately granting writs of Asthma corpus, and in all bailable
Cases taking bail.
We hove that the magistrates throughout the county
will in all prover cases promptly take bail, If they do not
this court will exercise its authority in the premises.
The action of the Court will indiscriminately apply to
all cases of arrest where bail shin' be allowed by law.
The District-Attorney or his representative is requested

By this order the jurymen will be discharged until
Thursday morning, and the Court will be adionmed until
to-morrow morning at ten o'clock.
Nisi Prim;--Chief Justice Thompson.—Murphy et a
vs The City of rhiladolphia.—ln this case the following
opinion was delivered this morning:
This is not a case for a preliminary injunc'ion. Mooney.
the defendant, entered into a contract with the city on
• the 29th et neptember, 1868. which was approved by
Councils. He positively denies that he was informed of
the bid which the complainants made at the first let
ting. and which they claim became the lowest
by reason of the lowest' bidder failing to accept
and enter into the contract This would be a most ma
terial facto be established in order to affect him with
their equity That has not been established, and no in
junction at this time can issue against him to restrain him
from doing the work To restrain the city officers from
contracting or paging for the work would he in effect to
enjoin him ; whfcb, in the aspect already referred to, of
an innocent bidder without nntice,ongbt not to be done.
But lam very clearly - of opinion so far as the investi
potion has gone, and 1 am able to judge of it, that the
complainants are not entitled to have the contract
awarded to them, as the lowest bidders. The work was
not at all within the provisions of the 27th section of the
act of May 16,1856. This seems also to have been the
opinion of the Court of Common Pleas of this city in
Comly et al. vs. The City of Philadelphia, 2
Phila. Rep. 194. That section obviously has
reference to annually recurring supplies and
wo'k such as street cleaning and the like—not to
builaing culverts, which oat occurs as often. as the ex.
tension of the city demands, or the falling in of those
wr ich once have been built takes place, The second
bidder NVSS neither bylaw or stipulation entitled, in this
case. to the contract, the lowest bidder having failed to
contract to perform the work. . The bids were
but propositions. to be accepted or not on
the tervas on which they were invited, one of which
was, that the "City reserves the right to reject any or all
the bids/should they not prove satisfactory." Veils It
did in re advertising for proposals without approving of
the hid of the complainants. I see nothing contrary to
ally law or ordinal. ce in this. I need not turther elabo
rate these views in this state of the case, but for the res
ano • vivre. the Prelim in sry . ni”nr.tion is fusra.

seir NATURALIZATION
DUTIES OF ELECTION OFFICERS.
Frank J. Nat*, Esq., Judge. of _Election. Seocnth
Precinct, Fifth Ward. '
DE.A lirn : We have considered the inquiries you put
to us. and have to say in answer, that in our opinion:
First—'l he seal of a proper court of record attached to
a certificate of naturalization, and attested by the Pro
thonotary or his deputy, proves itself, and cannot be dis
regarded by an officer of election without incurring . the
risk both of civil penalties or damages for the wrongful
—to be recovered, if sued for, by the citizen Injured, an
also a liability to indictment for an offence against the
criminal late.
Second—That an election officer has no right whatever
to reject a certificate, because in his judgment the court
which issued it erred in judgment, or was guilty of any
irregularity, or other error of what nature eoever.whether
of substance or of form; and that any election officer
who. for any such reason, rejects a certificate of naturali
zation. is amenable both to the civil and criminal laW,
for any such. offence.
Third--That election officers are privileged from arrest
dome the period occupied by the discharge of their of
ficial duties on election day, except they commit treason,
felony,
ior a breach of the public peace , bat that this tpri
vilcge s confined to the day of election, and confers no
immunity whatever from subsequent prosecution for any
o ffence they may have committed on that day.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 11.—To the President of
the United States, Washington, D. C.:
The Union Pacific Railroad Company has been
informed of the appointment of a special cons
mission. to re-examine their road. If the com
mission includes all roads receiving similar gov- ,
ernment subsidies and bonds the company will
regard the appointment with satisfaction, but if
no other road is included it becomes evident that
the Government has listened to representations
unfavorable to the character of our work and
which justice requires that I should contradict.
I think it my duty, therefore, to assure your ei
cellency that the Union Pacific Railroad is at least
equal to any of the other lines in construction,
appointments and permanent linprovements; and
that you can easily ascertain the thoroughness
and excellence of the work by reference to. Gene
rals Grain, Sherman and Sheridan, who have
lately been over the.line, and from many other
eminent practical railroad men.. I
..reapeeftifilT.
request that the commissioners be instructed to
Include all these roads in their examination, and
to report in detail the comparative qualities of
each.
