Chase might get a few votes in Ohio. Pendleton in. the West is said to be a favorite, and we are assured by "knowing Democrats" that "Hancock, it nominated, would carry Penn sylvania." Blair would do in Wade Hampton's district, and A. J. command a respectable ma jority at the "Cross Roads," through the exer uons of Nasby. As to Seymour, he wouldn't do un) where.

(Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WAsitmorost, Oct. 15,1868.—1 n the early part of the campaign preceding the October election in your State, very little betting was indulged in here between the two opposing parties, but on Tuesday night; tinder the influence of rose-colored deapatches received from Philadelphia by the Washington Dimoerats, that For was elected Mayor by 6,000 and 8,000 majority, and that the State had gone Democratic, the friends of the "Lost Cause" became perfectly frantic with ex citement, and many of them bet every dollar they had in hand, or could borrow. The Re publicans, who relied upon the statements of their political friends in Pennsylvania, "went in," and took all the bets they could get on Penn sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and the result is they have "cleaned out" their Democratic friends most effectually. Indeed. you never saw such a sor rowful set of "lame decks" as was seen here yes terday and to-day—the Democrats who had staked hundreds and upwards to thousands of dollars upon the faith of false despatches sent here by their friends elsewhere. I saw one who had lost severalhundred dollars, put up on the strength of a despatch he received on Taesday evening from Philadelphia, from a friend who had assured him that Pennsylvania was "certain," beyond all doubt, for the Democrats, by 5,000 to 10,000 majority: Ho bitterly repented of his folly and denounced his so-called "friend" in the most unmeasured terms for deceiving him. In another case, a young Democrat who got all his news from a "Democratic headquarters"— where they read off despatches purporting to come from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, an bouncing that all had gone Democratic—rushed home and awoke his father and the family, whe had retired for the night. and made them happy with the glad tidings. The father was so elated he gave the youth a carte blanche to go out and take all the bets he could get on the States named, also on the election of Seymour and Blair, which injunction the youngster obeyed implicitly, and mode up a list of several thousand dollars. The chagrin of the old gentleman yesterday morning on discovering the true state of affairs was per fectly fearful, and he made the most terrible threats against his son for having deceived him. This is only one of many incidents of a similar character which might be given. The demoralization of the Democrats is cora p?ete'and to-day it reached its climax when the proposition was started to withdraw Seymour and Blair, and substitute Chase—or somebody else —which is an utter Impossibility in the short time now left till the 3d of November. Lincoln used to say it was a bad time to "swap horses while swimming a stream," . and the Democrats realize the truth of the homely remark. The feeling among those I have conversed with about it is decidedly hostile to any such measure, and if it should be attempted there will be a perfect rout on the 3d of November, for I have heard many declare that, sooner than change their can didates now, and, least of all, take Clmse, who has never publicly expressed his intention to sup port their party,is an act of humiliation to which they will never submit. They all say they would prefer to "go down - with their colors nailed to the mast.' Let them "go down" never to rise again, is the earnest prayer of every patriot. The Republicans here are highly gratified at the noble stand made by the Republicans of PI iladelplla at the election on Tuesday last. Yen were overpowered by a combination of the most gigantic frauds ever practised in this coun try; but the grand resultin the State, and-in Ohio and Indiana, has so inspired your friends here, that they confidentially anticipate a majority of 5,000 or more for Grant in Philadelphia on the 3d of November. Your courage and devotion to the good cause are appreciated by your party friends here. filu)QccuAmia. - --- POLITICAL. Respectfully. HORACE B. DICK., 711 South Ninth street, Philadelphia, Pa An lllstorical Parallels PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1868. THE DEITIOCIZATIC CANDID&TBS. The Swapping of Horses while Cross ing the stream OPINIONS OF THE NEW YORK PRESS. —The World, after discussing the damage done to the party by the bad odor of Blair and Sey mour, again advocates a change. It says: No Democrat admits that the success of the party binds it to use the army to disperse the new State governments. And as the party has no such intention, why should it bear the odium of the damaging imputation? As it contemplates only peaceful and legal modes of re dress, It 18 simple justice , to the party that its skirts should be cleared of aspersions. which, so far as they are believed, repel voters from its ranks. The party, as a body has no other means of clearing i itself of thisinjurious imputation than by futile contradictions in its. public journals. But there are' individuals who can octinguish this calumny in a moment, and silence it forever. And this must be done, if we are to win the election. This is a time for plain talk, and we trust we have spoken intelligibly enough for those whom it most concerns to take our meaning." . :The. Tribune . alltblas_to the proposed--with-- drawal thus: " We have only to observe that 'having mis taken the symptoms of the Democratic disease, the World is naturally at fault in proposing a remedy. The causes of tbeir defeat last Tues daygo below and beyond the mere wortbleaeneas and offensiveness of their candidates. Mr. Frank Blair's fulminations, as such, are of as little consequence as Mr. Frank Blair himself. Mr. Horatio Seymour's weakness and malignity are only more conspicu ous, not more dangerons,eince he has been lifted from his insignificance by a National nomination. What has made these men not merely displeasing but odious to the people, is the fact that they are placed on a platform of Rebellion and Rascality." —The Times pitches in after this fashion: "The World would fain excuse the extraordi nary nature of its proposition by the plea that the errors of its party are errors of detail merely, not of principle. But this is folly. Whatever else may be urged against the managers of the New York. Convention, at least it must be admitted that they boldly affirm their principles. They are in favor of breaking down the national credit, and they put forward a policy which tends directly to that end. They are in favor of overthrowing the new governments and disregarding the Reconstruc tion acts as null and void, and they say so. They are repudiators and rebels, but they are not hy pocrites. They sustain Seymour and Blair, and their platform, because they unitedly express the principles and purposes which actuate the youth nal, indomitable Democracy. "When, therefore, the World arrays itself against what it deems mistakes, it arrays itself against the vital, governing forces of the Demo• cracy. And a contest between a journal and the great majority of the party of which it is under stood to be an organ, does not leave us in doubt as to the result." —The Herald says: "The most superficial observer of the drift of public events cannot fail to have observed that the nomination of Seymour and Blair, as the standard bearers of the Democratic party,failed to awaken any degree of enthusiasm throughoat the nation, and the recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana plainly Indicate the sentiments of the people in these Scats. That the late news hasravely affected the political managers of the Democracy is evidenced by the Movements that have taken place in this city and Washing= ton within the past twenty-four hours. Private meetings have been held, committees appointed for one purpose or other, telegraphic communi cation opened between the leading Demo cratic leaders in different sections of the country, and all this on account of the failure of the party In the States above named. A rumor prevailed in Washington last night that Chief Justice Chase had been waited on and had consented, in the event of Mr. Sey mour's withdrawal, to accept his place on the ticket; another was current that a com mittee was then on its way and would meet Mr. Seymour in Utica this afternoon to talk over the situation of affairs and sug gusts his withdrawal from the canvass. Still another rumor prevailed that Mr. Belmont was telegraphed to call the National Committee to seater for the purpose of nominating new can eidatesi but when Mr. Belmont was interrogated in relation to receiving such a despatch Le most emphatically stated that he was In entire ignorance of any such document. With these reports flying round and the acknowledgments of the copperhead organs the Democratic managers are certainly in a most unenviable position. Blair and Seymour, they say, are too much to carry, even with such splendid principles as the party boasts. Blair and Seymour, they argue, ought to have the magnanimity to resign. But what then? Here is the dilemma. No man who could by any possibility win would take a nomination after Seymour. Only a political adventurer would ac cept the chance, and with such a man the Demo crats would be in no better position than they are. They must face the music." —The National Intelligencer of to-day says: "In putting forward a ticket in the present temper of the country we have always maintained they should have kept, in view the tact that the Republicans were divided in sentiment upon the measures of reconstruction as well as upon finance. It is unquestionably true that the Re publicans, before the adoption of those measures, constituted a majority of the Northern people. In putting up a ticket, then, sound policy and patriotism commanded that the Democrats s•nould distinctly recognize as within the pale of their organization all who op posed the measures to which we have referred. The New York Convention thought otherwise, and nominated Governor Seymour and General Blair. These nominations, we admit, were judi cious enough, if the object alone was to main tain the integrity of the Democratic party, but we had again and again declared that the preser vation of. the Union, under the authority of its organic law, was the grand purpose we had in view in entering upon the canvass of 1868. As a minority could avail little in such a work, policy and sound principles demanded nominations which would draw largely from conservative men of all parties. That demand was not heeded; but it is still in full force,and now is the time to obey it. Let those upon whom the convention of the party conferred the great hp;kor of its confidence rise to the height of the great occasion, and then, emulating their ex ' Lilted patriotism, let the National Executive Committee execute the trust reposed in them by the people without fear and with no other senti _m_ent than devotion to the country and the con stitution." The Supreme Court Frauds • The Nation of this week comments as follows upon the naturalization frauds I . r Supreme Court: Juagc Slinrswood's course in the matter is such -- as will cause him to be looked on with some sus picion by honorable men who have heretofore respected him. He owes his election--official in vestigation into the Luzern° District Congres sional election proves it—to votes fraudulently cast, and it almost seems as if some of his actions had been dictated by a grateful remembrance of this fact. Charges having been made_by_the press and by his fellowJages that the prothonotary of the court had illegally issued blank naturalization papers; that voters had been_made- by-constables in the abseAce of judge and thothonotary; that seven hundred had been made in one day, which is at the rate of about two a minute for every minute of the working day—Judge Shars wood reluctantly ordered an examination into the pro thonotary's conduct, and the testimony fully ens tailed the allegations. But wherihe gave his tied. don, exonerating the prothonotary—as may,tiave been right—he admitted the probability of frauds; in fact, he pronounced "fraudulent certain natu ralization blanks that he„ held in his hand, and wrote the word "fraudulent" on the back of each of them; but he gave no advice as to the duty of th e ittepectom of elections, except that 40 eta OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. phatically laid down the law that the Prothono tary's eeal was prima facie evidence that the pa per bearing it was to be accepted as genuine. Having delivered thie decision, at once, before the Attorney-General or anybody else could open his month, the judge declared the court adjourned sine die. This may be susceptible of explanation; but It has a very bad look, and ought to make every man in Philadelphia overhaul his opinions on the subject of elective judges—the great dan ger from whom, after all. Is that they are tempted to bend to the will of the appointing power, if that power chooses to bring its will to bear, and that it is a thousand times more likely to bring its will to bear if it is a popular majority instead of a State.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS The London Saturday Review says: No one who reads the Spanish news could pos sibly guess that the Queen has a living husband, and a hushatid who habitualty occupies the same house with her. He has been so long a passive witness of *hat in other countries would be called his shame, and has so long contented him self with such feeble influence as he could exer cise by feeding the flames of his wife's super stition with the fuel ofhis own more degraded fanaticism, that no one now cares to record where he is or what he is doing. It never struck any one that If the Queen could not go to Madrid, he could; and that ii any one ought to be ready to fight for a wife, it is a husband. He is not of so much account in Spain as a groom of the chambers;itud vet this is the man whom M. Guizot forced the Queen to marry when she was a mere child. The most terrible of the accusations against M. Guizot in the matter we believe to be wholly un true, and. to have been only a calumny invented br the malignity of those who were bit terly disappointed at the double mar riage. Lord Palmerston did not object to the marriage of the Queen with the Duke of Cadiz, and this is quite sufficient. Lord Palmerston did not write Christian Meditations, but he was a man of unimpeachable honor. But M. Guizot made the Queen marry the Duke of Cadiz because he would allow no other candidate; the only altern ative be ever gave her was Count Trapani, and Count Trapani would have been quite as unfit as the Duke of Cadiz. Merely to gratify the family pride of Louis Philippe, and to carry out an im aginary policy of having always the right number of Bourbons oil Ituropean thrones, he irsisted that she should marry a descendant of Philip, and there were no other descendants available. No scruple as to giving tne Queen a bad husband, or Spain a bad sovereign, ever en tered his mind. It was a policy that the Queen should marry a boy whose character and ante cedents gave no promise that ho would avoid be ing either. M. Guizot triumphed, and he has for some years witnessed the result in the con dition of Spain, and in the peculiar kind of re vengirWillutith9ren felt herself at liberty to take. The News of the Spanish *evolution. A correspondent in Havana writes : "The Cubans are most perplexed and excited about what is going on here and in Spain. The government of Queen Isabella was undoubtedly somewhat objectionable to them. They have mainly had to support a costly government here, to defray the expenses of a standing army of 35,000 men, and of a large fleet, and to furnish about $5,000,000 per annum to the Spanish treasury; while in the face of all this, nearly all the military, naval, civil, and ecclesiastical post. tions in ,i-the island have been filled by native born Spaniards, most of whom have never har monized with the Cubans, and have generally been somewhat proud and overbearing in the ex ecution of laws, orders, and regulations distaste ful to the-latter. In truth, the Cubans have so far bad to bear the chief costof the government of Cuba, and - have shared in but few of its pro fits, honors and emoluments. Of course they can but desire a change. A new government in Spain may bring about this, but they base no calculations upon it. They arc justly doubtful as to the advantages to accrue from the ascension to power of a party beaded by Marshal Serrano, Duke de ECTorre. He has been-Captain-Generatof - Cuba. — He came more for the purpose of recruiting his shattered fortune than „for that of ruling the island. Through speculations, osculations and' other means, he enriched himself. The remembrances he has left behind him are not pleasant ones, and most justly the Cubans are distrustful of him. A Spanish republic, most probably with Prim as President, would be the form ofgov ernment the most unacceptable to them. This, would unqUestionably imply the abolition of slit; very in Cuba and Puerto RICO, to be followed by social disturbances, - 11 tremendous decrease of plantation labor, small sugar, coffee and tobacco crops, and an annual substruction from the- pro ductive wealth of the island of at least $ 41 , 000 ,` 000, This is more than the Cubans care payin g i F Republic. ihave heard roporta og 'IHE INDI&N WWII.

His Latest Filibustering Design. —A correspondent of the Herald writes from Cuba as follows : "General Santa Anna has again gotten himself in a scrape, and what is bad, he has compromised a number of Mexican refugees here in his diffi culty. Your Mexican correspondent must have informed you of certain documents brought to light by the Juarez administration, through the instrumentality of a Colonel. Cosme Padilla, a former officer in, the'army of Maximilian, and who, after having sold himself to the present rulers of Mexico, Caine to :Havana in the capacity of a spy, and succeeded in thoroughly .humbugging Santa Anna, and in getting posseMion of the documents in question. These clearly establish the existence in this city of the headquarters of an imaginary `Grand Army of Mexico for the Restoration of Civil Guarantees,' of which General Santa Anws is Commander-In-Chief, and General Antonio Ta boada ehief of Staff (Cuartel Maestro). The do cuments having come to the knowledge of Captain-General - Lersundi, he has given positive orders to Generals Santa Anna and Taboada to leave the island, the former with in thirty days, and the latter within three days. Gen. Taboada, I understand, is going to New Or leans, while Gen. Santa Anna will probably once more occupy his 'watch-tower of observation' in St. Thomas. Other Mexican refugeert, officers in the so-called 'Grand army of Mexico,' are likewise to be ordered off. In the said documents is found the affirmation of a declaration of Santa Anna that Captain-General Lersundi had promls' ed him the loan of a Spanish man-of-war for a fili bustering expedition against Vera Cruz. The Captain-General says this is untrue,: Santa Anna din speak to him upon the subject, but he gave him a positive refusal, and told him all his pro jects for the invasion of Mexico were ridiculous and visionary,. and he, Santa Anna, had better abandon them; that the authorities of Cuba would use all the means at their command to pre vent filibusterism,come from what source it may. Captain-General Lereundi claims that this has been done, and I believe he is correct." TILE RICE CROP. Injuries Inflicted by Floods. The Savannah News and Herald says: "We learn that the recent heavy rains, and the floods in tke rivers and creeks consequent thereon,have had a very disastrous effect upon the rice crops. A few weeks ago it was thought that the crop would be very heavy this season, but within the week just one-third of the crop raised along the Savannah, Ogeechee and Altamaha Rivers has been destroyed, and the floods aro not yet over. This will materially lessen the estimates which have been formed of the amount of rice which would be raised this year. "The amount of damage done has been care fully calculated. It is placed very low, perhaps, as the detitruction is going on every day now. The floods have been greater this year than they have been known to be , for many years, and the damage .they have done thus far is very great. We hope that the rice planters will come off better than they anticipate, but things look gloomy at present." THEATRES. Etc. AT THE Ancn this evening, Lotta will have a benefit, and will appear as "Little Nell," and as "The Marchioness." At the WALNirr this evening Mr. S. F.

Mr. Panshon brings with him a magnificent reputation as a learned and eloquent divine; and we believe his lectures will b e intensely interesting.

CON( ENT HALL.-WO call special attention to a very interesting exhibition by the Orphan Zouaves, a corps of soldiers' orphans, from New York and New England, at Concert Hall to-night. The little fellows give an admirable performance of drill, singing, and deserve a warm en couragement from our citizens. We are sorry that they are compelled to give such a short no tice of their entertainment. Edwin Forrest. Edwin Forrest, the veteran actor, is about sixty-four years of age. In an old book of "Recollections of the Stage" occurs the following account of his first appearance, which took place in Philadelphia in 1820, at the Walnut Street Theatre. We give the manager's words as we find them. He says: "An interesting event occurred—being the first appearance of a young gentleman of Philadelphia, Master Edwin Forrest. This youth, at sixteen years of age; was introduced to the manager by Colonel John Swift, as a person who was determined to be an actor, and who had succeeded in obtaining 'the slow leave' of the family. The usual argu ments were strongly urged against embracing a profession at this time so especially un promising. The tolls, dangers and sufferings of a young actor were represented with hon est earnestness, but, as was soon discovered, in vain. Forrest was at this time a well grown young man, with a noble figure, unu sually developed foz his age,his features pow erfully expressive, and of a determination of purpose which discouraged all further objections. He appeared on the 27th of _ November, 1820, in 'Douglas,' - with the following cast: 'Young NorQ,' Forrest; 'Lord Randolph,' Wheatley; 'Glen aivon,' Wood; 'Old Norval,' Warren; 'Lady Randolph,' Miss Williams; 'Anna,' Miss Jef ferson. 'No great excitement was perceptible on the present occasion. The novice, however acquitted himself so well as to create a desire - for a - repefirlorrof - the - play, — which — sobti fol lowed, and with increased approbation. Soon after he added to his reputation by a spirited effort as 'Frederic' in 'Love's Vows.' These performances were considered by all the prin cipal actors as far beyond any they had ever witnessed from a novice. Still no enthusiasm was evident in. the public, and his benefit as 'Octavian' was less than the former nights. Which - were 4 Douglas;s3lo; 'Frederic ? ' $252; benefit ? $215..

Such a thing is almost . un heard of in European schools; bat I found that ' the system did not work near as bad as I tin:ight in the United States; for the American lads are already imbued with much of that chivalrous spirit which characterizes the conduct of American gentlemen towards the fairsex, and they behave much more meekly and submis sively towards a school mistress than they would do if they were taught by one of their env.' And then I noticed that an unusually large number of the female teachers of the Atneridan schbols were decidedly handsome women. Whoknows hew many of the boy-pupils were secretly in love with their pretty school mistresses? Such boyish loves are, at bottom, not such bad affairs, and at school they contribute powerfully toward the ' - preservation of discipline." —Mark Twain tells the following story came . of the small republics of South America: There was war in one of these little republics theone I have been describing.

Navy to place the navy of the republic at the die posal of the troops, so that they might have ' transportation to the seat of war. The Moister of the Navy (an official who had seen as little of ships and oceans as even Mr. Secretary Welles) sent a courier to where the schooner was, with the necessary order for the Lord High AdadinL The Lord High Admiral wrote back: "Your Excellency: It is imposSible.
