there be such a turnout from these two

THE PERSONAL SECURITY OFIOUR
CITIZENS.
Our loe.al columns present a full report of
a cafe occurring on Saturday night, involv
ing the rights and duties of the police au
thority, which should have the earnest con
sideration of every citizen, and especially
of all who •have wives, daughters, mothers
or sisters to protect. We do not propose to
anticipate, with our own conclusions, the
results of the investigation which is now in
progress. Our purpose is, for the present,
only to invite the attention of the citizens of
Pittsburgh to the reported facts, connecting
therewith the extraordinary "orders"which,
it is understood, .had heretofore been
promulgated by the Mayor, and under
which the offending policemen claim to have
acted.
KU-KLUX FACTS—THEORY AND
- PRACTICE.
' Partizan opponents to Southern recon
struction make persistent efforts to suppress,
from.the knowledge of the Northern people,
the facts which exhibit the horrible state of
terrorism and, violence already established
in nearly every Southern State, under the
encouragement of the Democratic party.
We stated a few days since that over nine
hundred murders of Union. men had been
recorded in Texas alone, since the disbtin
donment of the rebel armies. , To this we
have now to add that the condition of affairs
in Tennessee is equally , terrible. A Joint
Committee of the Legislature of that State,
hafing been appointed to investigate the
rebel Ru.-Klux outrages, have just submitted
their report. It is a document which would
fill seven of our columns in the finest type,
and reveals a horrible record of outrage and
murder: The reign of terror existing over
two-thirds of the. State excluded the Com
mittee from a large body of testimony ;
they Succeeded, however, in collecting
enough to show, that the murders of Union
citizens have averaged at least one each day
forsiz months paet, feu!, if any, of which
have been brought to ntinishment. As far
aSpracticahle, the report gives names and
dates, specifying each act of violence with
particularity. The offense for which the vic
tims suffered horrible deaths was "voting the
RepUblican ticket" or being a "Radical."
It is clearly shown that the greater number
of diem murders were committed by the
Ku-Klux, the ':secret Democratic league' of
amassing; and that order and peace, with
81=14 for lives, property and perfect
freedom,',4an only be secured by the most
decikvo military- intervention. They ac
cordingly recommend the passage of the
bill placing the Militia at the disposal of the
Governor, whose duty it is to secure °bed!:
ence to the Taws. , . •
The admissions made - by FORREST, the
notorious Tennessee rebel, touching the
Organization, numbers and designs of this
band of assassins, will not be , forgotten by
the reader. His late attempt to explain
away these admission in'a letter printed
thiSloming, will amount to - nothing, He
still insists upon the "reserved right" of
every Itu-Klux to judgefor himself of the
constittitlonality and validitz,of laws; "any
"tumoral& sacrifice" which he or they
profess: themselves willing to make "to
avold'a Conflict" does not include the sacri
fice of- this "reserved right" which, we may
as well' say at once, makes up the entire
fallacy=tbe alpha and omega—of secession
and rebellion. The general admissions of
this eminent Ku-Klux leader must therefore
Stand, -as first and correctly reported.
Put these admissions by the side of the
startling report just made by the Legisla
tive Cominittee, and the - reader possesses
the whole case. A monster
.. conspiracy
'exists' for resistance to the laive and the
assassination of good,citizens, and its exist
ence,.net ; denied, is justified by one of its
most eminent leaders, in the citizen's inde
feasible right of judgment upon public leg
islaticm. 'Who, can say, then,that the rebel
lion does not live still, and that another
explosion is not \ imminent ?
REBEL EXPE TATIONS AND -FED

Minister to the Virginia Springs,' and some
thirty or more ex-Confederate Generals and
leaders assembled at that rebel "Court."
Nothing aPpears in this correspondence, or,
is 'suggested by • the public weight of the
names attached thereto, to warrant the ex

the" e'cout-movements of those gentlemen,
"and - by the announcement of their intention

We have to thank General BOSECRAI4B
for his conclusive vindication of the wisdom
which actuated President Ltuccaas and

he broright upon our arms; his utter destitu-
ton tf anything like a sincere and cordial
dev,rotion to the integrity of the lJnion, of
any earnest and faithful attachment to the
flag which he appeared to uphold, was not
then suspected by a loyal nation, but events
prove that his unsoundness was patent to
our•_ own clearer-sighted leaders, and he
gives to the world, at last, in his own hand
writing, the amplest evidence of their sa7
gacity. General. ROSECRANS was fighting
on the wrong side; he had notthe facility of
conscience which enabled LEE to violate
his oath to the constitution and flag; his po;
litical opinions would have led him to join
BEAURECURD and JOHNSON, but tbe naked
obligations of his military oath constrained
him intq'tV&ftMeful fidelity, which had no
efficiency or virtue because his heart \ was
not in it. We repeat then, our grateful ac
knowledgement for this fresh testimony,
in proof of the wisdom of his suspension,
from a man who loved neither the Union
nor the two great leaders of its civil and
military fortunes, ,
knd who naturally to-day
includes the same Union and its surviving
Hero in his enmity. His own testimony
now leads the masses of his countrymen to a
hearty concurrence in the action with which
LINCOLN and GRANT censured him in '64.
When he was relieved from his command
and retired from all trusts, the people in
clined to doubt the justice of the censure;
the people, and we now speak of ourselves
as well, must now accept that justice as es
tablished. •
In his letter to the rebel leaders not a
word can be pointed cut which even alludes
to their infamous and gigantic revolt against
the Federal authority. 'He treats them every
where as "brave, energetic, aid self-sacrifi
cing men" who have merely - "laid down
their arms and sworn allegiance to the Gov
eniment." He says nothing of their simi
lar oath which they had broken before.
He deplores the state of "semi-anarchy ex
isting for the last three years in ten States
of the Vinton," but makes no allusion, ,
un
kind. or otherwise, to the state of , bloody
and merciless dill war which these red
handed rebels waged, for the four preced
ing years, against the Government which
every man of them had been already equally,
sworn io obey. He deprecates the social
and political mischief of the present Southern
situation, but has not a word for the trea
sons, the perjuries, the wicked ambition of
those who were rebels against the best_
Government the sun ever shone upon. He
charges all the results, which the South has
since experienced, upon the enft=chised
freedmen and the few white friends of the
Union, and, assuming to speak in behalf of
"the Union army"—from which he l has been
wisely and forever removed—and for "the
l o lforth and West"—whose loyal millions
look upon his sycophantic complicity in
rebellion after the fact 'with ineffable scorn
—he asks ihose assembled rebels to aid him
in.showiag that there is a wiser and better
way, to - reconstruct Southern society, than to
take its power from rebels and put it into
loyal Yuma.
Of comae, Lxx, Br-tunaA:wen and 'their
fellow-rebels in council, say "yes, certainly,
by all means, give us our, rights under the
Constitution, restore to us , the suffrage and ,
take it away from 'the freedmen; that is all
we need and, with that, the old irritations
will pass away and the old wounds will be
healed." No you don't, gentlemen ! The
old irritations will pass away when, by
deeds as well as words, you loyally and
humbly submit yourselves to the fullest au
thority of the Federal law, and not before.
The old - wounds will be healed when the
,Northern people, riourners, for their dead
kindred slain by your rebel hands, can, se-
cure in their lives and free in thought and ,
speech. make pilgrimages to the graves of
their sons, fatheraand brethers who sleep
in Southern earth; when Mississippi, Ar
kanias and Georgia shall be as safe residen
ces for the loyal citizen as Ohio or Massa
chusetts; when life, liberty, property and
all the privileges of citizenship shall be the
undisputed birth-right of every American
who can fight for the flag, from the Poto
mac to the Mexican border—and not before.
How soon that may-be depends mainly upon
The letter of ROBECIMINs is a shameful
one. We have no words to waste upon the
rebel reply. While this is decorous in its
re-assertion of the lost cause, and not more
.specious than we should expect, that, to
which they affect a reply, is in every re
speet the most discreditable document
which ever emanated from any public man,
under the pretence of devotion to the high
er interests of the Union. 410111:CII,ANli was
a'failure as a soldier, and we now know
why; as a politician he will be remembered,
as soon as the first feeling 9 f trublie disgust
subsides, as the laughing stock of this gen
eration. His Statesmanship, whether die.
played in his political speculations, or In
his novel 'doctrines of finance, sinks to
the lowelt grade of absurdity .. Ho has
only been successful in establishing his own
absolute incompetency fur any civil trust,
and in furnishing the intelligent and loyal
people with a fresh suliply of effective sus
munition, against those whose friend 110
seems always to have been, and whose sill
ance he' now openly courts. Beyond that,
this correspondence presents, as we antici
pated, "they most impudent and abearddoc.
ument of the campaign."'

A DESPAIRING CANDIDATE.
The mental condition of nOIIATIO ' SEIf -
moult is clearly disclosed in his own letter
just published as follows:
UTICA, July 24, IS6B.
lqv DEAR Sin: I have not been able un
til this moment to answer your kind letter
of the 13th inst. lam gratified with the
kindness of my friends; but they have plung
ed,me into a sea of troubles. Ido not know
how the canvass will go; but, now that lam
in the fight, I shalt do the best I can. I see
the Republicans are trying to dodge the
financial issues, and to sink the election
into a mere personal contest. Our papers
must not allow this. Thoy must push the
debt and taxation upon public attention.
Truly yours, HORATIO SEYMOUR.
Hon. C. M. INGERSOLL, New Haven, Coma.
TUE fiscal year of the Federal Treasury
commences July Ist. As the appropriation
bills were not geherally nassed in time to
meet the proposed expenditures for July, it
became necessary to carry these over to the
next month, August. It is also announced
that "many of the requisitions from the
War and other departments were for con
tracts which were due sixt or ninety days
previous, did not paid b cause last year's
appropriations did not c ver them. For
example, the Indian Bur au will exhaust
nearly one-third of its ent re appropriation
for' the present fiscal year n the August re-
quisitions." The monthl • debt statement,
to be published to-morro will therefore
show a nominal increase of about ten mil
lions, +eluding the $7,01 1 ,000 paid for the
Alaska purchase, while the figures for
the current month of Sep .mber will, when
published, show even m• re than 'a corres
ponding abatement, and fully make good
the total reduction thus far, of $266,255,090,
(excluding the railway bonds) from its
maximum three years ago,
Tom New York World of the 4th states
that the greenback resolution adopted by
the Democratic Convention at Albany does
not express the sense of the entire Demo
cratic party. It then quotes the resolution
just adopted by the Democracy of Massa
chusetts; as follows :
&solved. That gold and silver coin is the only
constitutional legal tender, and while we would
have but one currency for all, the Democracy of
blkssacannetts. now as in the past. are true to their
°ld faith in hard money, and demand that it be re
stored to the people at the earliest moment consist
ent with the Interests of the business of the coun
try.
The World then proceeds to re-affirm the
position already so decisively takes by
BLantind ltretrokat, as to the true issue
in this canvass. It says :
The great dividing line between the two political
parties is the Reconstsuction question. No citizen
who detests the Radical policy of Reconstruction
will be deterred from voting for the Democratic
candidates by nls dislike of greenback:; nor, on the
other hand, will any citizen who accepts the R&M
,cal policy be enticed Into the Democratic party by
his belief that the dye-twenty bonds are payable in
lawful money.
Two years ago, when the Soldiers' Con
vention was held in this city, the men of
Philadelphia turned out in a handsome
manner, and contributed largely to the suc
cess of the demonstration. On the first of
next month, a like Convention will be held
in Philadelphia. We learn that the soldiers
of this city are preparing to attend it in
considerable force. This is decidedly well.
A large delegation to the Philadelphia meet

Obituary.
Hon. Francis Granger,' one of the old
time statesman of this country, died on
August 28th, after a continued Illness, at
his residence in Canandaigua, New York.
He was born in Suffield, Hartford county,
Connecticut, in 1787; was graduated at Yale
College in 1811. He then - removed to the
western part of the State of New York, and
from 1826 to 1831 was a member of the New
York Legislature. He was a representative
in Congress from the State of New York
from 1E335 to 1837. In 1835, at a Whig State
Convention held at Harrisburg, and by an
Anti-Masonic Convention held at the same
place he was nominated for Vice President
on th e same ticket with General . William H.
Harrison. ' Forthia office he reeeived sev
enty-seven votes, from the States of Ver
mont, Massachusetts,. New Jersey, -Dela
ware, Kentucky, Ohio and Indians, but
failed. In securing his election. He next
served in - Congress, again as- a Reprew
sentative from the State of New York, from
1839 to 1841'; On March 6th, 1841, he was
appointed Posiniaster General in the Cabi
net of President Harrison, and continued
under President Tyler. He served till Sep
tember 11th, 1841. when he resigned. Mr.
Granger since that time has lived in retire
ment: . .
How They Love the Constitution.
When the Southern rebels were fighting
for -the destruction' of the Union, Frank
Pierce, a former Democratic President, en
couraged them to go on In their foul work,
and promised that grass should grow in_
Northern streets, and blood flow on North
ern highways. Horatio Seymour, now
Democratic candidate for President, when
the Governinent called for soldiers, re
sponded by instating that it should "stop the
draft." .dudge Woodward, afterward a
Democratic emaciate for Governor of Penn
sydyahla, anti now Congressman from.lhat
Mate, boasted that ho bad never votd a
man not dollar for "the unholy war " and
expressed a hope that the line of division
would ho drawn so far North as to include
Pennsylvania. Clement L. Vallandigham,
then a Democratic Congressman; afterward
. Deniecratic candidate for Governor of Ohio,
new again a nominee for Congress,. asserted
that all his sympathies were with Rebellion,
nt,d made his declaration good by conspira
cies to give It success: Thus, in every
rection, the chieftains of Democracy showed
that, instead of being defenders Of the:Con
stitution, they were heartily in. favor of
achemes for Its destraction.—ADany Even

Andersonville and other. Southern prisons
'isto be attributed to Grant. The article is
evidently intended as an electioneering

Governor Seymour and Secession.
In the evening, dining again with my
friend the banker. • • a Among the
guests were the Hon. Horatio Seymour, a
former Governor of the Sate of New York,
Mr. Tilden, an acute laywer, and Mr. Ban
croft. The result left on my mind by their
conversation and arguments was that, ac
cording to the Constitution, the Govern
ment could not employ force to prevent
secession, or to compel States which
had seceded by the will'of the people to ac
knowledge the Federal power. In fact, ac
cording to them, the Federal Government
was the mere machine put forward by a so
ciety of sovereign States as a common in
strument for certain ministerial acts, more
particularly those which affected the exter
nal relations of the confederation, • • •
The occasion offered itself to Mr. Horatio
Seymour to give me his views of the Con
stitution of the United States, and by de
grees, the theme spread over the table' *
* a , There was not a man .who maintain
ed the Government had any power to force
the people of a State, or to force a State to
remain in the Union or under the action of
the Federal Government: in other words,
the symbol of power at Washington is not
at all analogouslo that which represents
an established Government in other coup-
tries. Quidprosunt leges aymis I Although

The Cattle Disease in Ohio
The Cieveland Herald of the sth says:
XL. is reported that much excitement exists
in the towns of Twinsburgh, Northfield
and Mantatta, Portage county, coneerning
the cattle plague. Some Texas cattle in
Mantua, have fallen sick with the disease,
and cattle in other towns named are said
to be similarly affected. An examination
of the Mantua cattle is to be made at once
by the State Commissioners. •
Since writing_ the above we - have seen
a gentleman from the neighborhood of the
infected district. From him we learn that
on the 4th nt Jnly a heavy cattle dealer of
Mantua—Mr. Blair, our informant thinks
—drove ninety head of Texas cattle through
Brecksville,Northtield, Twinsburgh, Aur
ora and Mantua. Of theta cattle; it is said,
hinety, or all bui'five, have since died.
• Another gentleman who saw some of the
diseased cattle in'No rthfield on Tnaredsy
says they are covered with ticks as large as
pumkin seeds. These ticks multiply with.
astonishing rapidity until they completely
cover the animal. One farmer with a com
mon card,comb, took from one cow an
eight quartlpan full of these ticks, full of
blood.
The people in all the towns around are
greatly alarmed, and are anxious for the
immediate action of the State Commission,
whichwas to have gone to Mantua Friday
morning.

CIIRDIED DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken byl)r. KEY3EIt,
of this city, on the various diseases of the car, he
says that nine °el f , of ten cues could be cured In
their incipiency if application were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The .
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a well

well studied or .undtratood by the generality of

The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis

the organ of the hearing, some of which had lin-
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by primer treatment. -
