The capture of the : privateer or pirate
Florida at the port of Bahia, in Brazil, has
naturally created indignation . amonga peo
ple who . look upon this act as only a breach
of neutrality ; but we may doubt what was
at first 'the impression, that, aside from ; ' a
_ few British organs, and their adherents,
feeling against the cause of the Union had
any very considerable part in the Brazi
lian demonstration. Though Brazil is a
slave empire, its Government is friendly to
the United States, and has, within near
m emory, given hint of its official reproba
tion of the pirate character of the rebel
caus e at sea. Don PEDRO IL is reported
to be an intellectual monarch, a student
of American literature and science, and a
warm admirer_of Northern men. Among
a people whefe slave. owning is so preva
lent, different sentiments may prevail ; but
the monarch himself is not recognized as a
worshipper of slavery. Placing this tri
vial ground out of view, there is no reason
to suppose that Brazil will seek repara?
tion with any hostile_disposition, or that our
Own Government intends to go to war upon.
the subject. The question as to the cap
ture of the Florida is one between moral
right and international law and custom,
and the latter, as in - the case of the Trent,
may chance to prevail. Regarding the Flo
rida as a pirate, it is compatible with the
challenge she received from the Wachusett,
that she should have been captured as it
happened. But the world has not yet le
gally acknowledged—however atrocious
the career of some of the, privateers—that
rebel vessels are pirates. Brazil may claim
to be the guardian of its own honor, in this
respect, but if our own Government (as it is
said) has anticipated the demand of the
Brazilian Government by already offering
explanation and apology, we may indulge
some hope that the latter will show a moral
sense of justice and a wise magnanimity
by asking nothing more. Such a settle
ment will be fortunate Tor the inter-harmo
ny of both Governments, and will be a.de
cided reproof of piracy. The British ship
Orange, captured in Delaware bay, by the
French frigate L'Embuscade, and restore
on demand of JEFFERSON, was a case in
which this Government occupied a similar
attitude to that of Brazil, if Ave except the
questionably tellable view of piracy. Our
Government, we do not doubt, is as ready
to render justice to Brazil as to England or
France, and, whatever occurs, Will main
tain its honor in the transaction.
Our Friends in the Can'vass.
Those who have rejoiced in the victory
of the election have not failed to acknow
ledge within themselves the eminent and
self-sacrificing services of our Union
League: It is not yet too late to say that
we owe as much to this noble agency as to
any other for the spread of an active and
intelligent spirit of patriotism in Pennsyl
vania, and the awakening and kindling up
of the public spirit of Philadelphia. That
no city has shown such general interest in
the cause, that none has surpassed it in
triumph, we owe, in great part, to this for
tunate union of our worthiest, wealthiest,
and most liberal citizens. The public ser
vices of the. Union League date far beyond
the last election. Since its organization, it
has proved a working and beneficent pow
er, less for any party than for the country.
Were party alone an object of ambition to
day, we should have had no Union League
to give its strength to the late trial between
political forces. Its talent, zeal, and money
have been faithfully devoted to the cause
of the country ; its record is open and un
blameable, and we
,kre proud to regard the
of the old Revolution, magnified. The
. of Pennsylvania, the•recruitment of
regiment after regiinent for the service of.
the United States, the enteiprise of enlist
ing black troops, the unrivalled magnifi
cence and liberality of our great. Sanitary
Fair, all witnessed the patriotism and phi
lanthropysof the Union League. Such an
association gives strength to public charac
ter, and is a constant recognition and im
pulse to public enterprise.
Another word of praise is due to the re
. spectable , bodies of merchants and young
men, the Union Club, the Mercantile Club,
and the Republican Invincibles, who shared
the trial and success of the last canvass.
The names of one thousand of our most
intelligent young men are on the roll of the
Republican Invincibles, and it sustained
the labors, marches, and expenses of an
unexampled political campaign with an
energy and enthusiasm which speak well
for the years and the generations to come.
A great hall was kept for months open to
the public by this Club, and thousands of
dollars, willing tax from the pockets'of its
members, were given to support the cause.
This patrioti6 esprit de corps was never sur
passed in the history of the city, and it
contributes to show that the popular spirit
of our great city is equal to every great
occasion.
As WE PREDICTED, the first step taken
by the leaders of the Chicago Convention,
'ince the election, has been the repudiation
of the War Democracy. The Opposition
to the Administration is now absolutely
and entirely in the hands of the uncondi
tional and im'media.te Peace men. Not
only are many War Democrats who voted
for bicCLELLAN now determined to sus
tain the Government patty, but those who
have' not yet resolved upon their future
course, will be literally driven out of the
Democratic party by the men who have
it in their power. The following editorial
from the . New York Daily News indicates
the new programme of the Peace leaders :
4 , 1 t is rumored that a pressure will be brought to
bear upon the new• Leglilature of New, :Terse& to
secure the selection of General McClellan to repre
sent that State in the Federal Senate, for the six
years, term, to follow Mr. Ten Eyck, whose term
expirefOon the 4th of next March. We hope that
the Democracy of New Jersey will be on the alert
to - defeat such a movement. General McClellan is
linked to the corpse of the War Democracy, and the
most fitting place for both Is a political sepulchre.
New Jersey can count among her old citizens, iden
tified fiSr years back with her Democratic triumphs,
many a staunch and consistent Democrat, with a.
pure record, to represent her in the Federal Con..
grass. There is no need that she should take up one
who 18 almost a stranger to her soil, and whose
political antecedents are not associated with her
own, except in' the single instance of a, Presi
dential:campaign that conclusively demonstrated
his political weakness. There are men who are a
part of the political history of New Jersey, who have
labored In her interest for years, who have been
faithful to her. Democracy throughout all the phases
of popular opinion, and who deserve a bettor reward
than to be slighted for one whose citizenship is of
mushrooin growth, and whose political existence
has been confined thus far within the brief but fatal
record of War Democracy. Gen. McClellan is a
proven and acknowledged failure. Any attempts
to bring him into public life would be to parade his
failure."
The interment of the War Democrats in
a political sepulchre would leave very little
of the pariy above ground. There is no
doubt that one-half of the votes given for
General lYlceLsma's were cast in despite
of the-Chicago platform, and in the belief
that he would not be governed by its prin
ciples :if elected. The result of this cru
sade against the' War Democracy inevi
tably
. tends to broaden, deepen, and
strengthen the union of all loyal men in
supportnf the Administration.
"Tars victory," said . General 13urrant,
in his speech at New York, "has decided
the wax—decided it not in a military point
of view;'
but in ,that 'ovOrwhelming civil
point of view which decides the fate of
mationa everyitere." With this opinion
few thinkers will differ ; few will fail to
tee in it a newopporttinity for as honora-
ble andsikeedy ending of the war.:.Before'
thrilection the Government could not in
common prudence offer new' terms" of
peace •;' now it is so strong that'll suspi
cion 0f Weakness can attach to any prop°.
.sals it may make to the rebellion. No one

has ever suspected the Croniwellian,Birr-
LBn of sentimental sympathy with the
south, and his advocation Of a new offer ,of
amnesty has, therefore, unusual force. We
are strong enough to offer ,peace for the
third time to the Southern people ; if they
again reject * it, we shall go on to conquer
it by war. At the worst, we shall have
strengthened our cause at home, and shOwn
to the world our willingness to be not only (
lbst but generous to .he South, to sacrifice.'
almost everything for the. Union, except
the principles essential to its perfect free
dom.
A PEw, guerillas ate reported to have
crossed the Potomac, and the people of some
of the lower counties of the State have made
ample preparation to meet any little raids
these ruffians may intend. In connection
with this fact, we are glad to notice that
the immediate enrolment of the Pennsyl
vania militka has been ordered. This is the
'very time to attend to military organiza
tion ;:-when danger comes it is too late.
THE returns, as they come in, show how
little exaggerated were the first reports of
the State majorities for LINCOLN and JOHN
SON. New York gives several thousand
more than the friends of the Union had
hoped.
LETTER . FROM "
• WASHINGTON, NOV. 15, 1864.
The patriotic statesman cannot too severe
ly Study the bearing of the last Presidential
election upon his country's future. greatly
as the mind of such a man was tasked be
fore the result of that election: was known,
questions of far graver moment will now
exercise it. We have defeated the ene
mies of the Republic, • but we have not
permanently saved the Republic. That
solemn and exacting duty is before u in
vast proportions. If we discharge it wise
ly, all will be well ; but if we act as parti
sans or as self-seekers, and allow ourselves
to be misled by old prejudices, we shall .
be the merest instruments of our cimn-_
try's foes, and the sordid helpers of her
ruin. Now is the time for real, for Ro
man public virtue. The man who cannot'
meet the incalculable responsibilities - of the
near future will never assist to shape the
destinies of the American people. First of
all, he must be ready to concede much to
the, consummation of peace. You will.
recollect that nearly two years ago, and
also at a later
,period, I gave offence in
some quarters, and excited* suspicion in
others, by suggesting that no party could
Jive in the free States that did not stand
ready (and gladly ready, if I may use the
word,) to offer generoui terns to the
Southern people, and to consider, if
not to accept, what they, in revolt'
'from their assassin leaders; might propose.
And I suggested that, however idealists
might dogmatise and dispute, and try to
pull down others to their- own exactions,
_ after all peace would come as a necessity,
and if not suddenly, at any rate at a con
siderable sacrifice on both sides. - Now, I
contend lhat Mr. Lincoln's re-election is
the great preliminary to' a 'lasting adjust
ment. lam ineffably amused at the com
ments of the. Richmond papers on the ver
dict of the people of the loyal States in his
favor. They say they are glad of it ; but
their exultation is like the laugh on the
face of the corpse galvanized into , a mo
mentary life—brief, false, and unnatural.
They know better. General McClellan's
peace would have been.a peace with sepa
ration ; Abraham Lincoln's peace will be
a peace with union. The one would have
yielded all to his party to close the war—
the other will yield more to his country to
end it. Why, at this moment of writing,
Mr•. Lincoln's re-election has sent a thrill
of joy into thousands of Southern hearts I
Would it not be strange if it did not ? He
has offered and still offers all that sen
sible or reasonable people can ask, ex
cept that he will not save sldbery. And the
Southern people are now, through their
own agents at Richmond, (their oppressors,
zather) proposim,paboWskatery, and to
ple of the South are madmen not to see a fact
as palpable as this ? And.what follows ?
Clearly the end, of your confiscation laws,
the abbreviation of your taxes, and the
reduction of your vast military and naval
establishments. What is left of slavery
goes to the Supreme ()burl. Nobody doubts
or denies this, unless -he is a fool. Now,
while I quite agree in the very safe saying,
latterly so fashionable an aphorismc[the
most plausible deceptions, by the way, are
your aphorisms,] that the best way to make
peace is to conquer it by the army and the
navy, and that Grant and Farragut, Sher
man and Sheridan, Porter and Hancock,
are the real pleniflkentiaries, &c., &c.,
—for I have said all this many times orally
and newspaporially—yet I now realize that
this same aphorism won't hold water, and
is, therefore, like a good many other sieves
or sayings. Pray tell me why we should not
have peace when both sides are agreeing to
abolish slavery? You may answer to this
query, that there are other questions to
be adjudicated to satisfy our • Southern
brothers. But . I reply that there are no
other questions, save only, that of saving
the worthless lives of their wretched lead
ers. Do you think Grant and-his men do
not see all this as well as Davis and his
crew ? But I spoke of magnanimity. It
is scarcely necessary to add that Mr
_ .
Lincoln's policy is, in all- respects,
one of magnanimity. If his nature
were not liberal, circumstances would
constrain him to be liberal. To make the
road easy for him, and to give us a long
and lasting peace, and_to solder in .one in
vulnerable - body all the lately insolublb
sections of our country, we must agree
upon certain_ generous conditions. I have
just spoken of primary-duties—of what the
statesman ought to 4o now let me say a
few words to the politicians, as well of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania as of other
States and cities: They have a most im
portant part to play. The victory lately
achieved was not a party victory—not a
Whig viotory, nor a Republican victory—it
was the result of a common union between
all the friends of the Union, and he who
attempts to construe it otherwise commits
a blunder equal to a•crime. In one of the
recent letters of General Dix, he referred
to the fatal habit of electing small men to
high positions, and ventured to suggest the
doubt that all the victories of this war
would go for , nothing unless we acted
upon the counsel that those who repre
sented the American people in public
places should be the purest and ablest citi
zens. One of the objects of your great
Union League was to see that those who
might be elected by the Union party
should not only be above suspicion, but
Men of established 'character and thorough
intelligence. It is not for me to point out
wherein in our late elections the managers
of politics have fallen short of this high
standard, but it is due to truth to say that
we should make it a study hereafter to
avoid the 'selection of candidates for office
exclusively froni those who have belonged
to. any one party of past times. For my
own part, I think, that the Democrats,
who gave us, Aundreds of thousands
of votes in the late canvass,"should be,
wherever this can be doue, generously
recogniied. The men"whoa live in the-re
collection of past organize:V.sns,, and who
control parties because they have belonged
to them, and so plac e
, only such as them
selves forward, for hi gh positidni, are unfit
o meet the great obligations of the present
and to anticipate and.Masterthe enormous
obligations of the future. If the mere .test
of party is maintained, the thousands who
bane come to us in a patriotic abnegation of
old opinions will return to their former pi
litical connections. TV times demand
bold action, bold men; good Men, and laige
2 Men. - A - cause which has been 'saved tiy a

WASHINGTON.
CUSTOMS DECIBIOVB. •
A number of decisions by the - Secretary of the
Treasury Of questions arising upon appeals by Im
porters from the decisions of collectors of customs
have been printed, from which it appears that a
duty of 134 per cent. per pound was properly as
sassed on molten bullets imported from Canada, the
article being of the same character as if it were in
bars or pigs; also, that 10 per oentum ad valorem
was properly assessed on orohella wood under the
act of 1862.
The. Secretary of the Treasury affirms the de
cisions assessing a duty on brass padlocks, and also
krufts, caststeel tires, axles, shafts, and other forg
ings in the rough, under the law of June last, at the
rate of 45 per contrite ad va/orem. The Secretary
does not concur With the New York appraisers in
their special"report, in which they claim that, al
though the machine known as a loom 18 not a manu
facture of which steel is a component part, yet the
shuttle, which - 1s an accessory machine, is a Maohlne
per se, being composed partly of steel, and renders
the whble importation'in question a manufacture of
steel in part, and subjects it to 45 per centurri duty.
The Department, In analogous cases, where the clas
sification of different articles in the same package
could be easily determined, has directed that the
rate of [duty applicable to each per se shall be
separately levied.
The Secretary has affirmed the decision assessing
the duty of ten per centum ad valorem` on staves
for pipes, hogsheads, or other casks, or certain
rough staves Imported from Canada. The appel
lants . had claimed that those split staves were ex
empt from duty under the reciprocity treaty with
Great Britain.
An appeal was received, dated April, 1864, from
the decision of the collector at New York, exacitings,
payment of forty cents per gallon, in coin or speole,
under the act of March, 1884, on 0.4 casks of brandy.
The Secretary explains that the additional duty of
forty cents per gallon was to be regarded as an in
ternal revenue tax on all spirits bonded in Govern
ment warehouses prior to March 7, 1804. On spirits
Imported, on and after that day, the character of the
tax changed, and It became that of an imported
duty, and as such payable in funds receivable for
duties. It appeared that the brandy In question was
imported into New York on April 9, 1883, and was
in bond when the additional duty of 90 cents was
collected ; therefore, the appellants aro entitled to
the relief asked for, an far as relates to the payment
in coin or specie of the additional 90 cents, as distin
guished from legal-tender notes, ,, so styled by
them.
THE ItIIMA6 CABINET CHANGES.
Alter careful inquiry it is ascertained that there
is nothing whatever to sustain the repeated rumors
and assertions of Cabinet changes. The 'indications
are directly to the contrary.
This statement, however, *naiades Secretary Fits-
SENDEN, who, it ie known, merely accepted the po
sition of head of the Treasury Department for the
Congressional recess. Reports continue to prevail
that the Hon. ROUKET I. Weraturt will bo his sue
cessor.

SIR: In obedience to your orders I would respect.
fully make the following report of the disaster to
the United States steamer Tulip:
On the 11th of November, at three o'clock P. M.,
we left St. Inlgoes naval station, bound for Wash
ington, steaming under one boiler. After passing
the guard schooner Win. Bacon, I being then officer
of the deck, the pilot asked me why we wore going
to stop at Piney Point. I told him I did not know.
He then asked Senior Engineer Geo. H. Parks, and
he told him they were going to get up steam on
they other boiler. Third Engineer John Gordon,
then on watch, said it was not necessary to stop—
'that be bad already steam on the other boiler. We
did not stop at Piney Point, but passed on up the
Potomac. Nothing unusual had ()Canned up to'6
1", M., when 1 was relieved. About sixteen minutes
past 6 o'clock I was on the forepart of the vessel ;
heard some noise and • excitement in the engine
roonx; started aft and saw volumes of steam come
up the engine and ilre•room hatchways, and heard
Engineer Gordon cry out "Haul your fires." AA'
that moment • Senior Engineer Parks' rushed down
the engine-room, and Engineer Gordon cried out,
" For God's sake, somebody raise the safety-valve."
Seeing there was danger, I walked aft; when I
came abreast of the cabin companion . way the ex

went down in about two minutes. Very respect.

SLIDELL ) TDB SOLITE - ERN ARISTOCRAT.".—The
following appears in the New York Post of yester
day:. .
• •
To the Editor& of the Evening Post:
Raving seen in the Evening Post of Saturday a
communication referring to John Slidell, as calling
himself one of the Southern aristocracy, I thought
it might interest you to inspect the enclosed, which
is the original assignment, dated April 20, 1824, ex
ecuted by " John Slidell, tallow chandler," to Jacob
Lorillard.
This John Slidell, insolvent soap•boller of 1824,
was the father of John Slidell, "Southern aristo
crat?' of 1864.
YoU will perceive by examining the schedule an
nexed to the instrument referred to that the last
named individual has a place therein as one of his
father's creditors to the amount of $9OO.
Respectfully, JOHN L/VINOSTON.
November 14, 1864.
We have examined- this curious old assignment,
with the schedule annexed, signed by John Slidell,
tallow chandler, making over all his, property to
Jacob Lorillard, leather dealer, in order to pay his
debts, which amounted to about eight thousand dol
lars. Old John, it seems, if he could not meet his
obligations, did what he could towards it;' but
young John, "the Southern aristocrat," runs away
from his obligations.
A New SlVMDLE.—Yeaterday afternoon a sing-u
-lar-looking man, apparently the owner of a wagon
and two fast horses, attracted considerable atten
tion in Broad street, near Market, by proceedings
which appeared at first to indicate a deranged mind.
Be stopped the conveyance on one of the corners,
and, holding up a genuine one dollar greenback,
urged some one to buy it for seventy-five cents.
This was looked upon with distrust, but finally a
man ventured to invest. The purchase money, how
ever, was at once thrown back to him, with the
greenback. Several other similar transactions took
place, the purchaser in each case receiving his
greenback and the seventy-five cents. Postal cur
rency, of the value of twenty , five and ten cents, was
also sold for lees than its' value, and the purchase
money returned.
This naturally appeared to be a good speculation,
and an anxious crowd was soon gathered, when the
eccentric individual, after throwing out a banditti
of five-cent notes, displayed a quantity of jewelry,
at the same time asserting that he was the largest
dealer injewelry in Great Britain and that he' un
dentood his biz," and "loved to give things away."
Rings, lockets, &c; were sold for a small amount,
• and the money invariably returned with the article:
The demand soon became greater thitnAhe supply,
when the "madman"' announced that he would
drive to the next corner and show his audience a
now .style, of doing business. At the corner of
•Ulinton street he brought out a number of lookets,
which he said were cheap for five dollars.
'lnstantly the coveted bilis were passed up to
him, one man in his ardor handing up ten dollars
and calling for two lockets. Those who were short
endeavored to borrow five dollars, everybody be
lieving the money would be returned. About a
dozen were sold at five dollars each, when the man
called out, "Lock, away !" and before the crowd
could ger their scattered senses the horses were
leaving them behind: at the rate of a mile in three
minutes. Upon examination, the lockets were
found to be worth about fifty cents a pound, and the
whole transaction was understood, especially that
part which referred to the humbug —'loved to give
chines away." We understand that the same
swindle was successfully carried On in Trenton, New
Brinswick, Rahway, and , other places.—Netvark

; • INCREASE OF KANGAROOS IN AIISTRALIA.—In
the southeastern district kangaroos are increasing
to such an extent. as to interfere seriously with the

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 11.—The rebel attack on At;

principally upon the 28th and 147th Pennsylvania
regiments. The "boys" stood up manfully toilleir
'work. They received the enemy with lively sallies,
Such as "Here come the McClellan men, after oar
returns !" They kept up, too, a brisk fire until the
rebels retreated. '
The attack was a bold one, and was evidently
made on account of tho newspaper rumors of the
evacuation of Atlanta, Sherman still holds that
stronghold securely. Very few citizens are remain

of refugees;
As the train was going from Chattanooga to

NRW YORK CITY.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 1864.
THE DICTATOR.
• The contest regarding the merits and demerits of
this ocean monster still seems to be far from settled.
Capt. Ericsson is out with a card, in which ho as
serts that " there are no grounds for the apprehen
sion" which has been expressed through the co.
lunins of the press. The following is his explana
tion :
44 The draft of the Dictator, November 2, published
through the Boston journals, was thirty-one Inches
atthe stern and forty-three Inches at the bow. In
corroboration of the accuracy of those dimensions,
it may be stated that the superintending engineer
reported that the ship, on the Bth, was thirty inehg
, out at the stern and 43) 1 ; inches out at timbor7,
showing a depression of seven-sixteenths of an inch
compared with the draft on the 2d. The cause of
the discrepancy is obvious, the ship being under
completion. Yesterday and day before the Dic
tator received additional 215,000 , pounds of coal, be
sides stores, equipment, and , crew. Accordingly,
the superintending engineer reports that this morn
ing, while at anchor in the bay, the ship was 28
inches out at the stern, 37 inches at the bow, and
193 Q inches out of water amidships.
When the Dictator was planned, it wag assumed
that keeping the side armor 18 inches out of water
amidships would effectually protect the hull of the
vessel against an enemy's shot during moderate roll
ing. Experience has shown that the maximum pro
jection of the side armor above water amidships
should be 16 inches, and that the fighting trim may,
'with propriety, be reduced to 12 inches, bow and
stern being in that case two feet out. To bring the
Dictator to the former immersion will require 22.000
pounds, the latter requiring 468,000 pounds in addl•
tion to the weight on board the ship this day."
A TRIAL OP lUPLBB
took place at Fiatbush on Saturday last. The mili
tary profession was well represented, both as re•
garde the British and American armies. Lord
Mahon and Colonel Rowan were among those pre
sent. The Wesley Richardi, Whitworth, and Ber"
dan guns were used, and at a range of three.quar
tore of a mile, the latter (American) proved the most
effective. Succeeding this was the trial of rifles
and carbines at short range. The target consisted
of twoiboxes, each containing sixteen boards placed
one inch apart. The folThwing concise table from
the Herald indicates the respective merits of the
weapons :

A Mr. Williams was the next to present himself,
and fired from a portable cannon, called Clarke's

through the holes made by the Whitworth, and
he was, therefore. directed to fire again. His

the result 18%

he sought an interview with a certain prominent
Copperhead banker, and after rehearsing the threats
which this party were making, informed him that he
(the banker) being a leader in their midst, and hav
ing done more than most others to excite their evil
passions, should be held personally accountable for
their deeds on the day of election. The monition
had its effect, so they say, and the warning was re
peated to the masses,” who were studiously quiet
thereafter. The General still has his headquarters
at tho Hoffman House. On Sunday-he was the

The Tammany Organ on The World.
The New 'York Leader contains the following
severe attack on its Mozart Colltemporary •
The World of yesterday grows bilious. • It eivl
deuces the. possession of. not only a marble heart,
but of a marbled liver. In ono paragraph it libels
the Common Council, whose generosity and mag
nanimity have hitherto tried—but after New Year's
day will refuse, doubtless—to keep the sheet alive.
It accuses the aldermen of "stupidity, or some
thing else," in not providing polling-places.
Next, The, World waxes extra,billous over
treachery to Governor Seymour, and charges "men
holding power in the various Democratic' organi
zations or Manhattan Island " :with being "party
traitors," and. to have " vowed-vengeance upon
Governor Seymour for his veto of the Broadway -
swindle." •
The majority for 'Gov. Seymour exceeds that
given for Gen: McClellan. It' exceeds by five hun
dred the estimate of the State Committee before
election. If the editor of The - World was anything
of a praOtical politician he would know that the
Gubernatorial aggregate vote always falls under
the electoral; There are thousands who vote for
President and for nothing else. The tables of the
last three electoral Contest, now before us, evidence
this. But it so happens that the wards in which
reside and operate the "men holding power In the
various Democratic organizations," and who are
aimed at by the article, have given more majorities
(and in two wards more votes) for Governor Sey
mour than for the electoral ticket.
lithe editor of The World—and the skulking capi
talist who permits a morogenerous man to "solace')
himself with losses while he pockets publication
campaign profits—will inquire; it will appear that
the fast campaign act of these "men' , or "traitors"
aimed at was to send up to Albany, towards the
especial expenses of tho Gubernatorial canvass, a
very liberal subscription—and that at a time when
the'patrittre treasurer of the State Committee was
'compelled to go, hat in hand, asking the self.eonsti
tuted World Committee for some of the money
which it had irresponsibly collected In Delmont's()
meetings, and which was fortunately saved from
the publication maelstrom at the corner of Park -
Row and - Beekman !street—a maelstrom which
yawns beside the old, grave-yard of the Brick
Church wherein other capitalists than those of The
World have been buried!
--• • .
lithe gentlemen Who manage and write for that
establiehment desire to enter into a discussion upon
the dead-weights of .the recent canvass, or upon
'some of its blunderers, they can be accommodated.
We could, and perhaps may,live "pencillings by
the way," which would .not only open the eyes of
Governor Seymour, but of General McClellan, to
some of the amateur politicians whom they have,
perhaps, supposed to be valuable aids. •
For the time being we assert that at least three
prominent gentlemen connected with or actively
affiliating with The World, did not vote at all.
This is enough for "just once." -Bat if the pre
fatory dissection does not teach The World good
manners, we shall be obliged to cut up Its marble
heart, split its wooden head, and explode the whole
concern generally. Shall it be a hint or a pro.

THE Gleam Art Oris&—Last evening's perform
ance of "Don - Giovanni" was attended by a fall'
house, and may be added to the other successes of
the. German company. According to custom "Don,
Giovanni" was curtailed, and came to an abrupt
ending, but in general it was well sung, Her
manna—not as good as we remember Formes to
have been in the part of Leporello, because not
so constitutionally fitted for the part—sang, how
ever, with capital ability. But why must
Forme4 be idle when Leporello is to be sung,
and why. should Graff sing the. Commtndatore
when Hermann is so much better fitted for itl
Herr Graff, good and experienced musician - as he
is, 'gave us no contrast of voice far the sublime
'crash of instruments in the final scene; and,' were it
not for the clever acting and superior- delivery of
Heir, Lehmann (Don Juan), the grandest portion of
the opera would have passed away without effect.
Lehmann, with an. excellent presence, sings with
ability, and is, perhaPS, the best Juan the Ger
man opera has yet presented us. We have always
praised Madame Johannsen's Donna Anna, a per
formance in which,, for pure appreciation of her
composer, this lady has few rivals, That her best
successes are in the highest class of opera—in such
parts as Fidetio and Donna Anna—ls no small telten=
of praise to the artistic intelligence. Of Johannsen.
Don 011avio introduced Herr Himmer in a new role,
which he acted:with considerable ceremony, but sang
with bis usual ability. Though the voice of this excel
lent artist does not show the beet tenor quality in the
music of Mozart, his aria In the last act was Well
rendered. Mlle Dziuba increases In favor with her
experience before our public, and her clever Zer/ina
revealed excellent qualities of voice and feeling.
Donna Moira, by Madame Himmer-Frederici, was,
of course, gracefully sung. - This evening "The
Huguenots," Meyerbeer's grandest work, will be
produced for the first time in five years. As it will
engross the full talent of the company, and will be
presented with appropriate Splendor of 'scene and
strength of chorus, it will no doubt attract one of

the main difficulty in both oases was that nobody
could tell where it was going to happen. The first
class could not witness, as they did not know where
to ge, and the second class could not ." alp it in the
bud, ,, because the authorities knew n where to
go. Day before yesterday the agents of the pugi
lists caused an advertisement to be inserted in one
of our contemporaries fixing the place for the scene
at Abingdon, in the adjoining county of Montgome
ry. Ti is, it was shortly after evidenced, was merely
a blind. But it had one result, which in one point
of view would be ludicrous, though in others more
proper, it was perfectly earnest, and revealed a due
respect for law and order. Yesterday morning, -at
the hour announced for the beginning of the fight,
the authorities of the county, civil and military,
were promptly on the spot, but though firm in their
determination, to perform their • exact duty, the
I quiet fields and roads presented to their oyes no un
ruly or doubtful-looking gatherings upon which to
.exercise it. At about this hour the gathering for
which they vainly sought was grouped in a retired
field outside of Scranton. That the fight would
take place at Scranton was generally known to a
certain class in this city night before last. Most
of them left, therefore, at that time, but their
numbers, atter being distributed over the en
tire length of a train, were almost inappreci
able. But their appearance nevertheless
_excited
some suspicions, which resulted in the circulation of
a rumor which ultimately caused the interruption
of the classic proceedings. The New Yorkers came
on in squads from Saturday until yesterday, and
attracted no attention. The principals in the affair
POTS a Dooney Harris, of New York, and a Peter
Martin, of Philadelphia. They had once before
met at Port Jervis, N. but a disagreement about
referees and other peculiarities of the ring post
poned the fight. The New York rowdies who
had assembled- there were greatly disappointed,
but vented their yeaaiton on the passengers of the
train on which they returned to New York. It will
be remembered by our readers (for the occurrence
happened but a month or two since) that the row
dies essayed to . imitate Moseby in his foray on a
Baltimore and Ohio train near Martinsburg, by
going through the oars of the train, and with oaths,
threats, and pistols Compelling passengers to part
with their valuables. Of the fight, and how it pro- '
gressed and how it ended, we present the following •
special report:
At about seven o'clock A. M. a. large number, of
persona repaired to the spot, some distance outside
of the town, and areused.themielves as well as they
Could in the damp, raw morning. At 10 A. M. the
pugilists entered the ring, and were received with
applause by their several friends and backers.
After the necessary preparations, both combatants
confronted each other, both apparently confident of
victory. The first blows were wild, but soon both
became earnest and eager. But, from the very first
exchanges, it became evident that Harris would be
the victor. In every one of the six rounds of the
fight, Martin was badly beaten. EVery blow from
Harris lugged-into the flesh of Martin, cutting it,
tearing it, or raising great blue welts. His appear.
ance was a most disagreeable ono-his face battered,
mashed, and cut, his nose and Month streaming
blood, his right eye completely closed by a blow on
the second round, and the swollen flesh forming. a
great blue bunch around it, and his left eye almost
closed. His chest . -was also marked. In, strain:a'
contrast to. him stood his adversary, Harris, who
was entirely uninjured. In--the. fourth and fifth
rounds Martin, by his Wildness and fierceness,
showed that he felt his wounds, and at the same
time despaired of victory. He was terribly pun
ished, however, despite his efforts, which did no
harm to his adversary. In the sixth round• Harris
rained blows upon him, every one of which left their
dlEgusfin marks of blood and contusion, and, fairly
exhausted g
by the energy and power of his thrusta,
sank on his knees, where Martin, maddened and
nearly blind, struck him a dozen blows in rapid enc.
cession. Harris rose to his feet and appealed to the
referees' to pronounce this conduct foul," and
award him the stakes and the victory. The referees
were just about giving their decision when a MM.
ber of United States detectives Jashed through the
crowd, leaped the ropes, and entered the ring. When
the spectators discovered who their assailants were,
a panic seized them, and they scattered in-a. general
and ludicrous stampede for plaoesof covert. Harris,
Corozam, Chaffers, and some others of the principal
attendants were arrested and confined bilk° pro,
vost marshal's office in Scranton. The fight was
thus ended. •

FINANCIAL IND COMMERCIAL.
The chief feature of the market yesterday was t.l . e in
creased demand for all kinds of Government securities
at a further material advance. The HSI loan Sold freely
at 119 an advance of 2 . : The . 6-33 s wore firm at 102%1
103. There were none of the 7 340ffered in the market,
though 112 was bid. The firmness in Government loans
is owing principally to the confidence of the people in
the pre sent administration of public affai rs,as manifest
...o on election day. A special reason is given for the ad
vance in the - 74,t's, on Which, however, it will not be
well to place Ico much confidence. An effort, it IS said,
is about to be made In the courts of law to test whether
the collector of the port cannot be compelled to receive
them for customs dulls a... There are many who believe
in the,,prebability of such an effort proving successful;
A considerable portion of the April and October notes
wore originally sold for. currency in November, MI,
after gold and the old custom-house' greenbacks
had, attained a premium of 3Cg35 . per cent., and
it is extremely unlikely; if theie had been the
slightest chanci for their receipt for customs before or
after maturity, no such negotiationa would have been
made. The fact is that no such privilege was ever in
tended by Congress to apply to the 7-30 Treasury Bonds,
whether negotiated by gold or currency. "Another
privilege—that of conversion . into a gold-bearing MI '
years stock—was expressly granted, and about nine
tenths of the whole 7-30 per cent. issue have been. thus
converted The amount outstanding on the 31st Octo
ber was 814,145,900, and it is from the consideration of
this comparatively small remainder of 2140,060,000 that
the speculators may hope to succeed in forcing from the.
Government the equivalent of gold, in violation of the
Act of Comess pledging the customs in gold for inte
rest on the public debt—or what is more likely, in
creating the impression that it can be done. They will
doubtless have a good time in forcingeither the Treasu
ry Department or the collector Of the port to such an ac- •
lion. -
The miscellaneous stock market was generally drill,

On the Hyde and Egbert farm, which is considered one
of tho best on Oil Creek, have rapidly advanced Within
the list few days. This is owing to some large wells
having been lately struck on this property, one flowing
about a thousand barrels per day and one flowing two
hundred barrels per day. The'entiyield of this farm
is now between fifteen hundred and two thousand'har
rels per day, and some of the companies located on-the

bled by the abovenew wells.' There are also a number
of new wells going down on this farm, on one of which
the largest oil crevice yet found is said to have been
struck.
