COMMTHZ, .14119.1. r ea5, Sept. 9,1864.
The great rebellion, which for more.than three
Sears has *rapped the nation in the Eames of civil
war, draws near its crisis. Its armies have been'
beaten, its territory-has ,been conquered, the fortx
and posts . which It treacherously sidied have . beerri
occupied and held by the soldiers of the Republie,
its foreign-allies have been detached from its sup
'port, and Its hostile arm,. paralyzed by eidutristion
and discouraged by defeat, is-upheld softly by the't
hope of political victories babe achieved bytts allies
in the - Presidential election•of November next.
If the people in that erection sustain the Govern_.,
meat, if they reassert its just authority, andreaffirni'.
their purpose to maintain it . by war so long as war
assails it, the rebellion will speedily end. If they
falter in this determination, or leave any.roomfer'
doubt,on.this vital point, the - rebels-will -take iresh •
courage and prolong the contes.t. Every utterance
of their organs and their agents affirms and 'con
firms this pOsition. Every rebelln arms and every
rebel in office—every rebel organ in . the rebeli
States• or in foreign lands—every hater of demo,
eratic freedom and the rights .of -man, - rengs and-.
labors for the overthrown ofthe Administration and -
the expulsion of Abraham Lincoln• from• the Presi..
deritial chair.
In the Northern and Western States this hostility
has been embodied and organized in the acts and de
clarations of the Chicago Convention. That Con*.
youth:* gives a silent approval of the rebellion it
seff, and an open condemnation of the war waged
for its suppression. Without a word oPcensure for
the conspirators who plotted the nation's death, it
brands with unsparing denunciation the and
heroes who defend its life. While s it passes Matter
silence the gigantic usurpationaof Jefferson Davis
and his Confederate traitors—while it overlooks en?
tirely, and thus, by just and necessary inference,
approves their, abrogation of political rights and
personal liberties over all that portion of the'United
States in which they have been able thus farto sus
tain their usurped authority, it pours out its wrath,
without stint' or measure, upon every act brwhich
the constitutional President of the United' States
has sought to defend and protect the lifeltaid liber
ties of the nation, whose executive power is-placed
in his hands..
Thit Convention .had no words of exultation for
our victories ; no thanks and honors for the soldiers
and sailors who have shed their blood to achieve
them. While it denounces our Government for
neglect of duty toward our "fellow-citizens who are
now, and long have been, prisoners of war in a suf
fering condition," it has not even a syllable of cen
sure for those rebel authorities who, with more than . ,
savage cruelty, and in utter disregard of overrate:-
tate of humanity as well as of every usage of civil
ized warfare, have deliberately and with systematic,
purpose inflicted upon those prisoners all the tor
tnres of exposure, 'of neglect, and starvation, and
have offered premiums for their murder to the
brutal guards to whose grim custody they have been
consigned. And, on the very eve of the most glo• - •
rious victories that have ever crowned our arms ;
after three years of bloody, costly, and -successful
war, when three-fourths of the territory originally
held by the rebels, had_ passed into our hands; at
the very moment when the rebellion itself is totter
ing to its fall, and the flag of' our country is rapidly
advancing to its old supremacy—the party repro
seated at Chicago demands that "immediate efforts
be made for a cessation of hostilities"—a step which
would instantly arrest our conquering armies, and
Snatch from them the glories of a final triumph-;
repeal the blockade; r and throw the whole rebel
frontier open to. the suppliesEthey so sorely need ;
secure the recognition of foreign Powers; and eithe r
accempliali their independence or give 'them the
ability to fight for it four years longer.
We appeal to the people of the United States,
lovers of the Union and friends of freedom, against
the consummation of the foul crime against both
which the acts and declarations of the Chicago Con
vention ' We invoke them not to sanction
these principles and sentiments by electing the can
dida,tes put for ward to represent them. We implore
them, as they love their country, as they seek the
renewed integrity of its territory, as they desire the
peaceful protection of its 'flag, and the blessings of
its free institutions and its equal laws for themselve s
and their posterity, not to arrest the blow which is .
Just ready to descend upon the rebellion now totter
ing to its fall; not to give -the rebels time to renew
their strength for fresh conflicts; not to aid those
who would aid them in overthrowing our Govern;.
•ment; in destroying our Unisairirrpirmgliilititlfra7,
chaos of anarchy the great 'cominutiltles of which'
the o:institution makes one great and glorious na
tion, and in thus extinguishing, finally and forever,
the hopes of all who have faith in the freedom and
the rights of man.
We call upon the people to bear in mind that, by
whatever sophistries they may cloak their purposes,
the Chicago Convention neither condemns the action
of the Richmond rebels; nor proposes to expel thew
against their will, or by.any exeroise of force, from
the seats of power they have usurped. In all essen
tial respects the action that Convention took accords
with the : results the rebels seek. Both desire a
cessation of hostilities: Both denounce, with un
sparing bitterness, -the Government of the United
States,.and both alike seek its overthrow. Both
demand that the attempt to conquer armed rebel
lion by force of arms shall be abandoned. And both
demand that, when the Government of the United
States shall have passed into the - hands of men op
posed to an armed defence of the Government
against rebellion, the war shall end by peaceful con
ference of these allied powers. What more than
this could the rebels ask or need for the con.
summation of all their plans 1 We call upon the
people to bear in mind that if they elect the candi
dates of the.phicago Convention, they arrest the
Government in - the execution of its plans and pur-,
ix:meson the very eve of:their fulfillment, and one•
third of a year before any new Administration can
take its place. The interval will be one of hope and
confidence for the rebels, and of exultation for
their allies in the loyal States. In the Western
States armed preparations have already,been made
by the disciples and advocates of Secession, to fol
low the example of the South and sever the. West
from Ole Federal Pinion. The success of the Chi
cago programme in November will be the signal for
carrying these designs into execution, and the 4th
oligarch will dawn upon a new Western Confede
racy, aiming at independence, defying the power
of the national arms, and co•operating with the
slave power of-the Southern States in blotting
fiom . existence the free Republic of the Western
world.
We call upon the people to crush all these
Schemes, and to brand their authors and allies with
their lasting reprobation. We call upon them to,
support the Gorernment, to quell the rebellion, to
defend and preserve the Union. We call upon them
to stand by the President, who, under circumstances
of unparalleled difficulty, has Wielded the power of
the nation, with unfaltering courage and fidelity,
With integrity which even calumny has not dared to
Impeach, and with wisdom and. pindence, upon .
Which success is even now stamping the surest-and
the final seal. His election will proclaim to- the
world the unaltered and unalterable determination
of the American pooPle to quell- the rebellion and
save the Union. It will strike down forever the
fail° hopes and expectations of the rebel Govern.
meat, and proclaim to the people of the rebel States
that their only hope of peace lies in abandoning
iheir hostility to the . Government and resuming
their allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the
United States.
We call upon the UmTow Comm-rims and the
UNION LEAGUES, and upon all loyal associations in
every State, county, and town, to perfect their. or
ganizatione ; to infuse fresh- vigor and activity into
their operations; to canvass carefully and promptly
their respective districts; to circulate documents
and newspapers containing just and forcible ex•
positions of the merits of our cause ; to combat .by
assemblages of the people in public meetings, IT
public speeches, by conversation, by letters and
personal appeals, and in all just and proper
modes, ,the deceptive and perilous. sophistries of
the , agents and political allies of the rebellion.
Let them be on their guard against the arts of
Corruption and of intrigue which will be brought,
with unscrupulous ,desperation, to bear upon them.
The rebel Government and those foreign Powers
most deeply interested in our destruction could
well afford to expend millions in overthrowing this
Administration and placing in power the nominees
and representatives of the Chicago Convention.
The skies are bright and full of promise. The
lion.hearted citizen soldiers of the Republio' march
with steady step and unfaltering purpose to &speedy
and glorious victory. The heart of the people beats
true to the Union. Every- triumph of the Union
arms over the rebel troops arouses afresh the coat.
age and confidence of Union men, and chills the
heart and 'decimates the ranks of the submission Se
cessionists represented at Chicag o. A Union victory
in November will end the long and laborious strife.
It will paralyze the arm of the rebellion. It will
disperse its armies; destroy the hope by which the
despotism at Richmond now holds its subjects in
bondage; release the people of the Southern States
from their enforced disloyalty, and give them again the blessings of self-government within the Union
and" under the protecting Constitution and' flag of
the United States. It will enable our own Govern
ment to exchange the weapons of war for the coup
eels of peace, to relax the stern control over public
action and pulilio speech which a state of war ren-.
ders 'unavoidable to restore our financial system,
to dissolve all military courts, and hand over agati
to the'civil tribunals of justice the punishment of
Crime and the preservation of public ordor, and to
restore to their firesides and their homes, clothed
with honors' and to be held in everlasting remem
brance,lhat great army of our citizen soldiers' who
have bared their breasts against armed rebellion;
and won the imperishable renown of saving the glo
rious Union for which their fathers and brothers died.

H. Pendleton.
tFrora the Washington Chronicle.]
We 'ptopese briefly to review the Congressional
career.of -Mr. Pendleton, the Chicago nominee for
theVioe.Ptesioencyofthe United States. We in.
tend r to do. him no injustice, either of statement or
.inferepee, while we present to the public the record
of WI public life during the last four years. It is of
little . consequence now what he or any other man
thought of public affairs prior to the commencement
of the war. At that revolutionary era every mat
vidual took sides according to the bent of his latent
inclinations and , prepossessions, often In seeming
contradiction to his , immediate political "antece. ,
dents ;" and •it was natural and- proper that this
Should' be the'ease, since' it' is not for the masses of
• men always to know the tendoncy . of the current in
which Alley are 'drifting, and they arc quite justi-•
ilable in getting out of it at the earliest moment
when they-have-ascertained that it is about to pro
•elpitate them into ritin. • •- •
77,e -begin, therefore, with . Rf.r.Pendleton , s speech,
9ellvered in the 'Hada of Representatives, January
1861,•jukt after South Carolina and three of the'
.Gulf States had adopte&theireeceselOn ordinanczi.
It must have occupied nearly an .hour in delivery,
and, to- 110 ,it justice, it is- a. calm, dignified, and
earnest.protest against any oftert on the part of the'
GoVernlnentlo preserve the' T:42ion by force. , The
teikereirfiresse6 great solicitude - for the -Union,
ut - thought the Government. utterly.powerless to
protect it s elf against- the assaults of its enemies ;
anCtbat 'it& only, resource was conciliation and
.
other` wordzcsuritmder to the
utmost demands of the armed iebile: This we shall
proceed to show, by copious extracts from - air.:Pen
,dietonis speech. „ It will le,seen thatin the. first
-pilleek adMiteseepssion, to benir accomplished
v9,`f441 ipsista upon - its recognition by the Go.

. •
IX,e says: -. • • " -
day, sir,tour States of the. L niory have; as far
- as their power extends; seceded from a:. Four
States, as far as' they -Arc able, have annulled the
giants Of poiirer made tO the Federal Governthent ;
they have regnmedthe powers delegated by the Con
stitutlim ; they have cancelled, as far as they'could,
everyahnitation upon the full exercise of•all.their
so:Vereikii rights; they do not claim our protection ;
-they ask no benefit from - our laws ; they seek none
of the advantages -of the' Confederation: - On the
other hand, they renounce their allegiance; they
repudiate our authority over them ; and they assert
that they' have assumed, -some of them - that they
haire resumed their position among the family of
sovereignties among the nations.
Sir, 1 deal in no harsh'epit*ets. • I will denounce
no State, no body of men: I will , not pause to in
quire whether they., have done all this legally or
wisely, or upon sufficient eause.'" They have dcme it,
and - 1 recognize Me fad.' They have done it
with an unanimity of sentiment, with a coin
cidence of opinion among the ?people, which: is
wilhout parallel in the-history of - revolutions; and
the Simple questicin presented • to us to.day is this :
whether,. throughout the limits of those States which
thulkforMally, thug orderly, thus by the enactments
of representative bodies of highest capacity known
to the civilized nations—conventione. daily autho
rized and properly elected teem:kidder this very ques
tion—have declared thessuierVes independent of us,
we are prepared„brforce of arms, to maintain oar
supresaerand enforce our laws? - * * *
.14-kinow that gentlemen insist upon inaugurating
a course of lec.tialation looking io coercion by force of
aims, of which this is the forerunner, for various
considerations.
-They tell . us—and- my colleague
(Mr.. Bingham) ill tell us, perhaps he has already
told us—that they must enforce the laws ; that they
must Coiled the revenue ; that they must maintain
the Constitution. Sir, these ends are very desirable
to be attained. • I will aid in any measures likely to
aeconiplish them. I will vote for any system of
legislation which Will effect them. Bat, in my
judgment, the system of which this bill is the her
binger will utterly fail. --
The bill here referred to by Mr. Pendleton was
Mr. Bingham's bill for the collection of the revenue
in the seceded States, by the establishment of cus
tom houses on board -of vessels in the harbors.
Next we have Mr. Pendleton's theory of a Go
vernment with DO power to enforce the laws. He.
recites the ebligations of the Constitution in order.
to show that they are utterly without sanction, and
that they must alwaYs remain null and void when
- resistance is made to them. Mr. Webster-was wont
to say-of Mr. Calhoun's constitutional theories, that
they made of the Government a "rope of sand ;"
but dalhoun never pushed his theory of a compact
of sovereign States:to quite the extreme which Mr.
Pendleton has reached, as we will proceed to show.
InLthe same speech he said : . . -
Now, sir, what force of arms can compel a State
to do that which she has agreed to .do? What force
of arms can compel a State to refrain frorn doing
that which her State GoVernment, supported by
the sentiment of her people; is; determined to: per
sist in *doing? It is provided In the Constitution
. that the citizens of every State shall have all the
privileges and immunities of citizens of the several
States.: What .force of this Federal Government
Can compel the observance of that clause if a State
is determined to pass and 'execute laws whereby
citizens of other States shall not have, within its
limits,Ahe same priVileges as its own citizens?
Full faith and credit shall be given in each State
to tho n g:bile acts and judicial proceedings of every
other. tate.” How will. the Federal Government,
by ar es and arms, enforce the observance of that
clause
,npe.Constitutlim,lf the.. judiciary. and the
..easen.fte.:_suithoritles-of..a - State r supperted- by the
'laws,'refttse auelrfaith• and credit?' • - •
“No State, without the consent of Congress, shal I
lay any imposts or duties on imports.” Suppose a
State should pass such a law, and the citizens were
willing to execute the law, what army could pre
vent itl •
-"No State shall, without the consent of Congress,
enter into any agreemenVor compact with•a foreign
Power.' , I wish to know from gentlemen what
number of men it would require to annul snch an
agreement, once made. The General Government
is invested with certain powers; necessary to be exe
cuted, in order to keep the machinery of the G-o
-vernment In motion. Can any number of troops,
or the use of any armed force on the part of the
States, compel the General Government to execute
those powers if the agents appointed for that pur
pose deliberately. persistently. refuse to execute
them 7 Sir, the whole scheme of coercion is finprocti-
Cable. -Pis contrary to the genius and spirit of the
•Constitution. , -
It is not so much our present purpose to contro
vert the views of Mr. Pendleton as to show what
they are and have been during the war. But we
cannot resist the temptation briefly to point out the
fallacy of these theories of his, which tend to the
qestruction of all government, and to the denial of
all sanction for law.
He has attempted to show that the Constitution is
a practical nullity ; that there is no power to en
force it, and that it is idle and ridiculous to think of
such a thing. We tell him, then, that the constitu
tional right to enforce . the several clauses of the
Constitution which he recites with a view to deride
as nullities, is found in that other clause which
authorizes Congress " to Make all laws which may
be necessary and proper for &ming into execution
the foregoing powers, and all other po - wers vested by
this Constitution in the Government of the United
States, or in any department or officer thereof.:' •
The constitutional power to execute the laws is found
in the clauses which authorize -Congress "to raise
and support armies ;" "to provide and maintain a
navy ;" "to provide for calling forth the militia to
execute the laws of the Union; suppress insurrec->
tfon, and repel invasion ;" and the duty of enforcing
the laws, if these clauses do not imply it, is found in
the section which declares that the President "shall
take care that the laws be faithfully executed," as •
well as in his oath of office, which is as follows : "I
do solemnly swear (or affirm) that faithfully
execute the office of President of the United States,
and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution cf the United States."
But we continue our extracts. Dlr. Pendietonagain
•
Sir, the enforcement of your laws within a BeCe-•
ding State,.in opposition to its will, is coercion of
that State,
and coercion by armed lone is war.
These terms, "collecting the revenue," "enforcing
the law," "maintaining the Unioni" captivate our
people." They smack of law and order, to which=
our people are very much attached. They are not
unknown in Americawhistory. Our fathers hoard
them used in the same tone -and spirit, and for the
same purpose as we hear them now. In 1768, when
the colonies were rejoicing at the repeal of the
stamp act, Charles Townsend, then a member of
Lord Chatham's ~cabinet. pledged .to conciliation
and peace, rose in the House of Commons and de-
Oared that it was expedient to collect revenue from
.America, and that' he. would himself bring in a bill
to, accomplish that result. His declaration was re-:.
ceived.wlth tumultuous shouts of applause, &c.
• •Nr..Pandletoir continues to run the parallel to
the- conolusion.of the Revolutionary war, in which
the ooverriniti4t of the United States Is doMpared
with thit:detipotto Government of George 111., and
the plavoholdlng Confederacy to our noble ancestors
*ihi) threw off the British yoke.
The folloWing passage puts Mr. Pendleton in
direct antagonism With General McClellan. The
.
latter.is for conciliation and compromise ; but if the
.
rebels will not hear. to such terms as comport. ith
the national honor, then he is ibr coeroing.them into

Is any power, under the Covatitution, to recognize
the secession of a State, and redognize It as a foreign

Mr. Pendleton fairs to-perceive, hiscagernenl4

justify the Goverruna= of the ,Unitett States- in'

band of traitors. If the'Goverament hadi taken his
advice, it would have been - disgraced and dlettonOred
for all time, and the American people would have
become a by-word, the wtirld ever, for cowardice.
The truth is, that the feedings end opinions of Mr.
Pendleton.were and ale- too' thoroughly ideutilied
with- the South in this 'eontbst to make him fasafe

Thus, on the - 10th of ;fitly, 1861, Mr. Porrdleton;
with only ten; others, including such patriots' es
Bumett of. Kentucky, Reid' of Missouri, Vallimdig

valid7,e4the same intent, and with the same effect,
as if ttleV had been issued and done under the pre
vious " .. AY;curess authority• of the Congress 'of the
United States."
Mr. Pendleton was aware that the "acts, procla
mations, and orders ), of the President were abso
lutely necessary to the preservation of the Union,
and as his sympathies were on the other side, he
voted against legalizing those proceedings. Xi: the
President haoishnot ta4eri the responsibility" of
those acts at the limo; knit had waited for the meet:
ing of Congress to authorize them; the rebels would,
in the ` meantime ', h eeised ' Wasliington and:

perilled by. the most. causeless .and wicked rebellion
that the world has seen; and' believing as we do. that
the only hope of saving this country and. preserving
this Government is' by the power of the sword, we are
for the most vigorous prosecution of the war, until the
Constitution and laws shall he .enforced and obeyed
in all parts of the United States; and to that end we or
pose any armistice, or intervention, or mediation, or
proposition for once from any
. quarter, so long as there
shall be found a rebel in arme against the Government;

On the 14th of. April he gave a sitiiilarvote against

June 18, 1864, 'Mr. Pendleton• voted .against the

On the same day, Mr. Pendleton voted against
the repeal of the fugitive slave acts. The vote stood
yeas Pa, nays 62.
June 15, ' • 1864, Mr. Pendleton- voted against the
joint resolution of the Senate-proposing to the
States changes of the Constitution, so as forever 'to
prohibit slavery.
• The foregoing record speaks-for itself. It is in
perfect unison with Mr. Pendleton's iieech, Janu
ary, 1861, in which• be denounbed•ihe Idea of com
pelling obedience to the Constitution as tsnconslitu-
Lionel, as well as impracticable. He has. uniformly •
voted. against measures necessary forthe prosecu•
Lion of the war and'every declaration of the duty ,
of crushing• the rebellion and preserving the Go
vernment he has either voted against squarely or
dodged. Mr. Pendleton has shown considerable bold
ness in advocating the cause of the rebels; but the
fact cannot be denied that ho has-also shown• much
skill as an Artful Dodger.
He has • not merely opposed direct war measures,
and voted against appropriations- to • carry on the
war and pay the interest on the. national debt, but
he bas displayed all the jealous antagonismof a.
South :Carolina propagandist ofd slavery to• mea
sures which may remotely tend to strengthen the
military arm -of the Governibent, or bind together
the Union. • He voted against an. increase. of the
number of cadets at West Point; andle-repeatediy
dodged a vote_upon the Pa cific 1 i ilread _KU._ The
necessity -which his:position, . as- the- Represen
tative from a free State, imposes -upon him, has
doubtless constrained •- him to • do many things
which his strong Southern- sympathies and
prepossesBions• revolt at, and' to- omit many
things-which the same feelings -would , prompt him
to do ; but he May, at any rateoconsole himself with
theiefleetion that almost any man in his-place would
have done as much, or probably more, injury to the
Southern cause than he has -done. If is, in his
quiet and courteous way, the bitter and implacable
foe of the war which his colleague °lathe Presiden
tial ticket has been waging for the. suppression of
the_ slaveholding rebellion. ' General McClellan has
declared in favor of preserving-. the-Union " at every
hazard.” • Mr. Pendleton declared; at the beginning
of the ematest,•that the attempt to -coerce obedience
to the Constitution and laws was utterly at war with
the spirit of the Constitution-Itself: But; we have
laid before the people the record of Mr. Pendleton's
Public career, and we leave him midi his collieague
in their hands.

Sr. LOME, MO., Sept. 11, 1364.
The teiterrified, who have been clamoring- for w
"free elect - on," as they term it, in Miasmal, are
about to be distippoliated. Whattirey mean by a free
election is la leave equal rights •to Secessionists and
loyal men. The State !Seidler men who have either
been in the rebel array or were open' and avowed
sympathizers with it. They have never taken the
oath of allegiance', and say tiieY will die'before they
will do so. These'men demanS their," rights," and
insist upon being allowed to vete and takepart in
all deliberations as lately as loyarmen can do so.
Thin far the GovernMent has vela , properly cut off
these individuals fronrvoting 'hi talk State anti in
Kentucky. This is ono' of the indesehle's of which
Gov. Wickliffe, of Kenifocky, complained In the
Chicago Convention. He asserted that a "freer
election" throughout the Mate would reenit In the
repudiatien of the Lincoln dynasty. No doubt that

• The llentocrats held s: ratification meetfr.); on the
evening of the Bth. They endorsed the Chicago
platforms' and McClellan upon it, and anabunoed
themeelvta determined to;plet through the otection
so as Ur win. The usual' paraphernalia of a-ratifi
cation, aseeting were e=bited on the *occa
sion. 'Ma delegations from the varioas Dames
critic Oaa'ses- met at thee Court House re' Ilk
early hecre each delegatioa coming with a libe
ral supply- or transparencies and with' bands- of
music. Weller me route, some of the delegations
were set upoaby soldiers and' others, and somewhat
roughly handledi Stones were thrown at many of
the transparentrieSeand the bearers thereof did not
come out of- theafaacas entirely uninjnred. There
was no bloodahed; and late in the evening, as then,
were prospects-of a row between the Germans and
the Irish, a provost guard was called upon to keep
order. The facie that the soldiers attacked the
transparencies, and showed a, eontemie • for the-
Democratic creel; is a little ateueing in the face of
the declaration °lathe Democracy here that the
army 'will all vote 'for McClellan. If the soldiers
are friends of General McClellan they have a very
strange way of showing ft.
There is much Indignation among 'the Peace men
at: the reception of General Pactrlellan , s letter.
These men were kept from bolting at Chicago by
the most positive assurances that the platform
ahould be such as milted them, and that General
McClellan should stand fairly and squarely upon it.
Thiry now see that theplatform is ignored, and say
that they cannot stand it. General McClellan on
a peace platform was bad enough; but when it
cornea to the declarations set forth in the letter it is
too much. The Peace men in Missouri and Ken
teoky are - for peace at any price, and they insist
that itmust be so made- as to secure the existence of
slavery in all the States:- To do this it is necessary
that peace should come •at once, and• that theover
tures should be from our side. In the MOClellan let
ter they say there is no hope whatever that there wilt
be any thing better than Mr. Lincoln can offer, and
they announce- their 'determination to bolt. Whe
ther they will do so or not is a matter of doubt.
The leaders are now in constellation, and may hitch
out a big and important•egg before long.
It was rumored about town three days ago that
there was danger of an insurrection. No one could
give•the reason, except that there was such a fear,
and-that many persons were interested. It leaks
out that the whole affair has its foundation in the
giving out of the supply of lager beer. When it is
remembered that St. Louis contains nearly 75,000
Germans- in its population, the extent of the
joke 'will he appreciated. It seems that the
'consumption , this season has been unPiecedented,
and the supply has thus given out prematurely.
Several prominent beer gardens have been closed
-for three days, but:they will open to-night on new
hems' 'There will bean extensive impOrtation from
other cities, and thee the - dreaded draught will be
keptsoff.
Two noted bushwhackersswere hung here on Fria
day last They were captured nearly three menthe
ago, tried by a court martial, found guilty of being
guerillas. and of committing certain specific out
rages, and sentenced to be hung. All the proceed
ings and findings having been approved, the men
were hung as directed.. Most of the guerillas cap.
Lured hitherto have been . " shot to death," bat
the sentence in this case was ()hanged in the hope
that' the example might have. a good effect among
the guerillas now in the interior. Guerillas obtain
but little mercy. at the present time: The State has
been cleared of the regular forces of the rebels, and
the guerillas seem determined to allow no peace.
The authorities have issued orders for the shooting
ofall men found in arms.withisthe State, and it is
hoped that the summary policy pursued may go on
and break up the system. .
' The Chicago Times last week created a sensation
among the printers. Some three months ago the
printers in Chicago , made threats of striking for
higher wages, and at the same time put forth cer
tain demands that the papers were compelled to
accede to. The managers of the Times Con
cluded that the matter had gone, as far as
it should, and. accordingly made arrangement% •
for a "change of base." They secretly . placed a
quantity of printing material in a building several
squares from the Timei office, and sent to New York..
for a man qualified to take charge of the concern.
They then employed a sufficient number of women,
and set them at work to learn the trade. For three
i months they have been industriously setting up and
distributing type, and , performing all the duties of
regular compositors. On Wednesday the Times
people .considered them sufficiently, skilled In
i the business to run the composing : , department
of the paper. Accordingly they astonished the
;printers by discharging every male compositor. ,
, abont the establishment except. those. Off.
i gaged in the job office. The printers - own
they were fairly beaten in the matter, and.eonsole
i themselves
,by saying they would have. struck at
once had they known what
- was going on. .The-Timee
• is now independent of
.the Printers' "union of Ohl
- cassia What the Union may be .In Philadelphia I
am unable to say, but they were certainly very ar
bitrary in the West., The Perstocsrat e .of ..thiscity,
was recently forced, to raise the price of. composi
tion, notwithstanding the printers wean, making
- from 425 to $3O per week. Thelroprletors cOmplled
with 'the demand, but changed the type e so that the _
cost of composition is now less than before the ad
vance. Last night the printere in the Anzeigerefftee
struck for higher pay, and refused further work,
" The matter.hae not yet,beenadjested. .
