has not only impeded the completion of the
Republican ticket in that District, but has
an Unfavorable influence upon that political
harmony and cordial zeal which! are every
where essential elements in politicitlsuccess.
THE political gamut of the Democracy
needs a more precise interpretation. The
canvass is hardly a month old, and they
have already four or five times changed its
"keynote." First, negro suffrage with the
coin payment of the debt; second, the un
constitutional Southern governments and
greenbacks for bonds; third,_ economy in
expenditures as contrasted with Radical ex
travamances- fourth, BLArn's proclamation of
vidlence and anarchy; fifth,- SEYMOUR'S
letter and a wholesome abhorrence of vio
lence—each of which has, in its turn, been
proclaimed upon high Democratic authority
to be the "keynote of the campaign." Con
trast all this with the one, simple keynote,
as clear as a bugle-call, which GlItsNT has,
sounded: "Let us have peace." Its echoes
will ring, unchanged, over valley and hill
top, until in November the voice of all the
people will be uplifted in unison.
TETE New York Eapreas says it is plain
enough to all men :
Pint. That the country alwaYs enjoyed
domestic peace and prosperity, when the
Government was administered by the De
mocracy; and
&cond. That it never has had a Moment's
peace, never had any prosperity, since the
accession of their opponents to power.
•
All there is of truth in these averments is
explained by the facts that, when the Repub
licans have been beaten at a Presidential
election, they have submitted to the decision
of the ballot-box, as is the duty of all cit
izens, but when the Democrats are beaten
they eitlyr threiten civil war or actually re
sort to it. They threatened in' 1856, when
they expected to be beaten; made war in
1860. when they were whipped; bullied
and rioted in 1864 and now, in 1868, are
threatening war again in case the popular
vote shall not turn out a result to suit them.
Tits Ptrmlo Mum, as it appears In the
Statement for the Ist of August, amounts to
$,9,523,534,480.67. - But from this gyoss
amount should be deducted the sum of $33,-
210;000, for bonds issued to the Pacific
Railway Companies, both the interest and
pritieipal of which is paid and to be paid by
the Companies, and which sum now, for
the first time, appears in the Monthly State
ment. Making the proper deduction, the
statement shows an actual reduction of the
debt since June Ist, 1868, of about twenty
millions of dollars, the tolal footing up but
$2,490,324,848, which is $194,338,978 less
than it was on the Ist of July, 1865. A re
duction of nearly two hundred millions of
dollars has thus been accomplished in about
three years. But we have alscr,ln the same
perio, paid over one hundred millions , for
soldiers' bounties, State war-claims, and
other obligations of a similar character, so
that the actual reduction of our debt by its
absolute payment has averaged very nearly
an hundred million per year.
A my - immix of- much importance in its
extent, and of equal significance in its bear
ings upon the state of parties, has recently
become perdeptible among the naturalized.
citizens of New York. This movement,
largely comprehending the Germans, also
includes an unusual number of Irishmen,
who ‘ are forming; .respectively, Campaign
Clubs, and taking, independent of their old
Democratic associatious, an open and zeal-•
ous standfor GRANT and Col,Fax. At Chi
cago, the same disposition has been exhibi
ted by a large number of Irishmen, who
have heretofon3 supported the Democracy,
but now declare that they have ddne with it
forever. Nor is it surprising ;.that intelli
geut citizens, who have sought, inpis once
favored land, the liberty, equality andpea,ce
which were denied to them in the Old
World, should wish, at this time, to exhibit
the most decided mark of their preference
for the peace and order and supremacy of
the laws to which the friends of General
GRANT are pledged, rather than for the vio
lence and civil war into which the Demo
cratic party would precipitate the people.
No class of our nstrioticcitizens can more
.heartily respond to that noble sentiment of
our leader—" Let us have peace,"—than
will those of foreign birth. They came
here for peace, with all its resulting bles•
I sings under our free institutions, and their
votes in November will largely show that
they mean, to have it.
IN . AREXCELLENT . ARTICLE upon the
question "For whom should the young men
vote?" the New York Evening Post forci
bly remindeits readers of the uniform series
of disasters which have attended the persis
tent adherence,of the Elemoeratic party to a
system of warfare against accomplished
facts, and argues that the only way to re
form that party, and to secure peace for the
cotmtry is by_ beating them once more so
decidedly that they shall be forced to accept
&construction as a fact, and to abandon that
lime for other living questions of a more
practical. character. The .Post proceeds:
There was a time when the Democratic party was
the party of progress, the party , of sound Ideas , of
generous Instincts, the party ofjustice, of human
brotherhood, of equal rights, of freedom. Then its
• leaders had courage,' they were aggressive, they

If reitew RiicasoN has a special weak
ness for anything volitic.d, it is..for the
Constitution. His favorite role is that Print
Defender and Preseryer. • The present
phase a- the Reconstruction question pro-
Mises to open np a broad and inviting field
for the exercise of his peculiar abilities in
that find: We had occasion to remark, a
week or two since, upon the extreme likeli
hood that, before the close of his administra•
Lion, he would find it within the line of his
Executive duty to repress the new Southern
rebellion, which his own inflammatory lan
guage and his factious opposition to the law
making department of the government have
done so much to precipitate upon the coun
try. This occasion now seems nearer at
hand than, even then, was anticipated. The,
intervention of the Federal power has al
ready been ocially and formally irivoked
tt i
by the antho Cities of Louisiana, to put down
an incipien rebellion which, under Demo
cratic control, threatens peace and order in
that State. Mr. JOHNSON'S opportunity is
therefore about to present itself, and his
policy will be hi due time- unfolded. He
hesitates to comply with the demand of
Louisiana. He talks about having a
preliminary inquiry, to see if the
blacks arc I not themselves responsible
for• the disorder. He no doubt denies that,
with delay, the trouble shall assume
still: more, gross proprtions. He waits
until the case shall assume a magnitude
which will demand the most imposing and
effective display of the Federal authotity.
He would then be able o invite the atten
tion of an admiring people, to the vigor
with which he defends and maintains the
Constitution, and the Republic from the
perils which have been brought upon it by
"Radical misrule andt injustice," He
wishes to retire from oftl?e, since it is un
fortunately too true that he must retire at
all, in a blaze of glory, surrounding with its
halo the name Of ANDREW JOHNSON, the
Pacificator and Preserver of the Republic.
Hesitating now, ho will eventually inter
pose the strong um of Federal power in
the 'repression of rebel violence, 1 but he
waits for an emergency, which, in its treat
ment shall magnify not his office but him
self. This is a very critical game and re
quires an adroit player. We trust, there
fore, that 7fir. JOHNSON will not over rate
his own ability to control it.
Tits Mercer Dispatch claims that Mr.
HENRY 3onwsoN was not nominated for
Congress;in the Twentieth District; that
seven of the Conferees, viz:, three from
Crawford, three from Clarion, and one from
Venango, voted for hini; but that in so vot
ing they represented no body but themselves.
That they constituted a majority of the Con
ference is not denied, but the objection-to
their action seems to be in setting aside the
contestants, and takinE a man not mixed
up in the struggle, they exceeded their au
thority.
The Mercer County Republican Commit
tee, also, protest against this nomination,
asserting that the Conferees from that`conn
ty did not sanction it, but withdrew from
the Conference, and justify them , in so do
ing. It is further claimed by the Commit
tee that Mr. JOHNBON has not accepted the
nomination, and that his hesitation is
caused by a consciousness of irregularity
in the Conference. Sithultaneously with
this announcement his acceptance appeared
in the. Meadville newspapers. The Craw
ford Journal says : •
"The nomination of 31-r. Janson has not awakened
any enthnstiom It la Ireely charged and generally
believed teat the nomination was secured by unfair
meant and lua,much as this styleof making candi
dates must be euded or it will end the party, the
people appear determined to put their foot upon It
now." ,
Without intending to interfere in any lo
ail contention, we cannot help remarking
that the dead-locks which have recently oc
curred in several district Conferences in
the Western portion of the State have not
exalted that kind of instrumentality •in the
confidence of the people.
CHIEF - JUSTICE CHASE has instructed a
Grand in Weit Virginia, that the 'new'
fourteenth article is a valid piortion of the
Federal Constitution. The reasons which
led to this instruction appear in the telegram
which we quote elsewhere. It will natur
ally strike the reader that theiChief Justice,
probably in view of the revolutionary pro.
testsand threats In which the Democracy
have indulged themselves, has improved the
first opportunity to declare ithe' legal and ,
binding adoption of the amendment, con
veying to the people a significant inthr ation
that its provisions will-be judicially enforc
ed. It is not surprising that he should hold
this opinion, as the legal validity of the
amendment is admitted by,. all except the
ultra‘ Democratic partizans, but en especial
significance. is to be attached to this early
and decisive declaratiot from Judge CHASE .
Do we need to remind b ur readers that the
Biormourt, BLAIR and Ilem?Tost programme
expressly includes the nullifieatlcn of this
fourteenth article which the Chief Justice
upholds? - '

Free-solier in .'6l, soon after quarrelled
with Fligatorix in Missouri and in due time
turned his political coat, and now holds the
second place in the Democratic party. We
append 'some correspondence . of Bsarn's,

tion with the Republican party. It seems

that Fimmolur and his of rs couldn't see

We commend these letters as good reading
for Democrats, who hear a good deal from
their newspapers about Radical Corrup
tions. The history of their cwn candidate
comes nearer proving_ the truth of these
charges than anything else we have seen.

"MAJOR McKixsTny Dear Major—lf
you buy any more horses I wish you would
give Jim Neal a chance. -He is a personal
friend of mine and a sou • d Union man. By
employing him you will onfer. a great favor.
"FRANK .. BLAIR, Jr.,
"Col. First Reglinent - Mi souri Volunteers."
[This man Neal was : cased by the Con
gressional Investigating ommittee with va
rious . frauds and. swin lings, but he was
Frank Blair's friend.]
"ft.r.. Lotus ARSENA May 21, 1861.
"MAJOR McKnisTny John H. Bowen is
and has been all right, nd I shall be glad
if you can do him a favor consistently with
the public interests. I mean everything . I
say in this short note. Your friend,
FRANK P. Bum; JR.,
"Colonel First Reg't. Mo. Vols."
[A rumpus was raised subsequently, be
cause Bowen got a contract for buying
horses, though he was not a horse dealer.
But who was the most to blame, McKinstry
or Blair?)
"ST. LOIDE, August 17, 1861.
"Major McKinstry—l wish you would
buy wagons from Espencheld & 'Kearns,
German wagon makers. They are both
Union men. Murphy & Verdin are both
secessionists and it is injurious to you and
the cause. Yours,
FRANK BLAIR, JR."
[The "Verdin," who is mentioned as a
secessionist in the above, was the copper
head candidate for Sheriff in 1868 against
John McNeil, a Union soldier, and was
supported by Blair and his friends. Consist
ency, thou art indeed a jewel.]
"Sr. Lams, eeptember 6, 1861.
"General McKinstry, A. Q. M.—General:
This will introduce Col. Bogy of St. Gen
evieve, a good Union man, who finds him
self surrounded by unpleasant circumstances
at home. The Colonel is desirous of obtain
ing 'a contract for the purchase of horses.
It would be laying a special obligation upon
me to give him a contract.
"Respectfully, FRANK P. BLArn, Jn."
[Can it be that the support given to Blair
by the rebel sympathizer, Lewis V. Bogy,
in 1868, is the return for the above letter to
his -brother in 1861 ? The coincidence is
worth noting.
"September 11, 1861
"GEN, McKim.Ty—General: Mr. B. Gish
ard is the-party of whom I spoke to you,
and or whom I sent you a message by
Charley Elleard. He wants to furnish some
horses to the Government. See that he is
attended to. Yours, &e.,
BLAIR, Jr-"
[Observe the dictorial tone of the closing
sentence of this letter. The "Charley El
leard" here mentioned is represented by
McKinstry as having been recommended to
him by Blair. Elleard bad a horse contract
extending through two or three months.—
Vide Vindication, page 33.]
Helping a "busted, brother," one of the
creamiest of all of Blair's recommendations,
is in the form of an indorsement upon a pa
thetic letter, written to Blair by one of his
nearest personal friends on behalf of his
brother. The essential parts of the letter
are as follows:
Louis, July 15, 1861
"DEAR FRANK:. I write you now in be
halflof my brother John, to get,you to help
himlln getting a contract for furnishing the
army with horses. He is about busted up
financially, and is very much in need of
something of the kind to help him through.
Bome of our friezuls have had contracts [re
ferring probably to Neal, 'Elleard, Bowen,
et al.,] and done pretty well. A word or
two froin you, in a way that you know how
to pit, will go far with McKhistry toward
putting him in favor. * * * *
I do wishyou would write a few lines to
McKinstry to help John in that matter. If ,
you know any other way to help him to a
contract, by order direct from the Depart
ment, or otherwise, put him on it. * *
"BEx Donlan." •
[Endorsement.]
"To General Meigs: you want horses
in Missonri, I most cordially recommend
Mr. Farrar to purchase them for you.
"FRANK P. BLAIR, JR."
General Meigs referred the letter to Gen
eral McKinstry.
[Ben Farrar was made United States Sub
treasurer by Blair, and when the latter was
under arrest, he repaired to Farrar's house,
where he received his friends.]
One of the names given of the Safety
Committee is. that of John How,an ex-
Mayor of St. Louis, then-a good Republi
can, and now a good Consdrvative friend of
General Blair. The intimacy between them
was and is of the strongest kind. Every
thing that John How did received Blau rt
approval, and vita versa. He , was, and is
I yet, a leather dealer, but seems to have con
ceived the idea that it was proper and legiti
mate togo into army contracts quite exten
sively. So he joined Mr. Walter B. Gur
ner, of Chicago, in a proposition to General
Fremont, August 19,1861, to furnish twenty
thousand army coats, twenty thousand
pants, twenty thousand drawers, four thou
sand flannel shirts, seventy , thousand pairs
of socks, thirty•tive thousand infantry shoes,
and other articles in proportion. General
Fremont referred the proposal to McKinstry,
who declined it on the ground that it was
too large an order to be given out without
advertising for proposals, whereupon
the "would-be contractors applied to.
General Fremont to order" McKins
try to comply with , their wishes. General
Froniont did not see fit to do so. [ Vide
Vindication, - page 21.] It will be noted that
Blair's name does not directly enter into
this contract controversy, but, to say the
least, do not his strong friendship for John
How and their notorious intimacy render it
probable that his silent acquiescence was
intended to be more potent than direct per.
sonal help? When the would-be contrac
tors asked Fremont to order Motrinstry
give them tbe $750.000 matron; was Blair's
name used as an inducement? , The record
does not intbrni us; but it must have been
an extraordinary spectacle for Blair to'Write'

(By Telegraph to the Pittabwith Gazette.l
NASHVILLE, August 18 —Mayor Allen
and a committee of citizens have investiga
ted the charge of a plot to burn Nashville
and other towns. It appears that the mat
ter was urged upon colored men by John
Carper, an old Union - man, who is regard
ed as a monomaniac. No legal proof was
elicited. The committee recommended an
inquest to ascertain Carper's sanity.
—Mrs. Mary Woodward, of Harvard,
Massachusetts, has been held in $l,OOO for
trial on the charge of inhumanly treating
her step son, six years of age. Ewes testi
fied in diet:9Mo Court that the child had
been whipped an hoar at a time with a
heavy stick; that one day in July the
woman drew three buckets of cold water
from a-well and seizing the child removed
his clothes and placing him in a tub dash
ed water upon his head, then took him by
his feet and held his head in the water as
long as she dared; that recently a cat
brought a meadoW mole in the house which
the mother cooked and compelled the boy
to eat. • Mrs. - Woodward in Court said it
was not; a mole, but a rat. - •
