ficient guarantees that he will discharge to serve the interests of his own
the duties of his new position in such a political friends, and in the .moat
popular officer adroit way, by assailing the Re
manner as to make him a
publican organization in this county,
and ono who will reflect credit to the
Department. through the columns of that professedly
Capt. iltron IticKmvy, Me l outgoing Republican journal. Undoubtedly, he
postmaster, bears with him Into retiracy, meets, in this way, the real desires of
the best wishes of all citizens. He made those proprietors also, since it is well
an excellent and efficient public officer, known that they have their secret re
discharging his duties with honesty, tact venges to gratify, against an organization
and ability. • which they can no longer use .for their
personal advantage.
It is not because the Commercial is now
edited by a consistent and bitter enemy of
the Republican party, who makes no pri
vate concealment of his political opinions,
that its recent course is most objected to.
In point of fact, its present editor is a vast
improvement, in the way of Intellectual
capacity, upon any of his predecessors in
the conduct of that journal. Its propri
etors hive a right to employ whomever
they think proper; butthey have no right
to practice a political fraud, by imposing
the opinions of a Democrat, under an as
sumed Republican cover, upon a Repub
lican community.
It is only necessary that Republicans
should know precisely who it is, that is
just now assuming through the Commer
cial' a columns to shape the sentiments and
guide the policy of the party:—how hol
low, insincere and at heart really hostile,
the conduct of that journal in , fact is to
ward the Republicans of the county and
State—to deprive the Commercial at once
of its last remaining claims upon the con
fidence of our political friends. We have
faithfully done our duty in making this
exposure, which stands, as it will stand,
wholly uncontredicted. And so that
ionrnal can do no more mischief.
FIFTH HT
By rsocutawriox of President GRANT
the eight hour law passed by Congress,) .
having reference to workmen in the
employ of -the Government, has been
properly interpreted to mean that the al
lotted measure of time is a full day's
work, and consequently no reduction in
pay can follow. If the law contem
plates a reduction in wages in ratio to the
reduction in time, no good to working
men could possibly result from its pas
sage. A similar law is in force in this
State, but ethployers have the right to
hire as they choose, either by the hour or
day. If by the latter, they must make
their calculations on eight hours daily ser•
vices obtained, no more.
Tan arrangements for Decoration Day •
are favorably progressing, and we
can predict that the old spirit of
loyalty and patriotism, which made
conspicuous our city and county in the
dark hours of rebellion, will render
the occasion one worthy the sacred
memory of our countless - fallen heroes.
We cordially invite our country friends
to visit the city and participate in the ex
ercises, assuring them that either as indi
viduals or as delegations they will meet
with hearty welcome. A. movement is on
foot to have the day observed as a general
toliday, and we trust our merchants and
manufacturers will noteesitate to sus
pend worldly callings, d afford all an
opportunity to pay tribute to the memory
of the sleeping pat,rids.
We have in our eye, at thi wr
s iting, a
trio of such newspapers. One of them,
in the heart of the Commonwealth, is
printed by a precious set of worthies, of
whom one is said to have an unpleasant
bees about his accounts as a public of
ficer, and the other has, within, a year,
been foiled in a . deliberate attempt to
swindle ;4,000 from the State Treasury.

ELSZWIIERS it is announced that the
New York Triune will commence, in
weekly chapters, on the Ist proximo, the
publication of a series of articles from the
pen of Mr. GIISELET on Political Econ
omy, elucidating and defending the pol
icy of Protection to Home Industry. In
view of the vigorous efforts now being
put forward by the Free Traders to poison
and corrupt public opinion and lead it into
their way of thinking, these essays, fresh
from the pen of one eminently qualified
to meet and refute their. .pernicions doc
trines, should be carefully read and
studied by every citizen in the country,
and especially by those who make up the
laboring classes, and whose interests are
directly involved in the issue. While the
promised articles are running through
the columns of the Tribune its circulation
should be increased ten foldin Western
Pennsylvania, where the great majority
of voters are arrayed against Free Trade,
believing that their personal welfare is
largely dependent on a proper protection
of their labors. '

IT IS A NOTEWORTHY fact that the plan

TUE NEW TREASURY POLICY.
The gold-gamblers . begin to feel, and
with severity, that the Treasury is able
and willing to defend the credit of the
Government against the speculators who
would destroy that credit, if left un
checked in the accomplishment of their .
designs. Already the gold quotation has
gone down four per cent. from the high
est point which, under an nnriaUtral excite
ment, the market reached early last week.
The decline is likely to contin e, and the
speculators are cracking, Bite • g
balloons, in all directions. Bonds are
firm in price, - with large purchases for
foreign account. The Secretary will
double his sales of gold, and unlesi pre
cluded by the express terms of existing
law, will also double his purchases of
bonds. If so precluded, he may not sell
the additional amounts of gold, being un
willing to withdraw so much currency
from circulation unless he can return It
to the market in corresponding
...purchases of bonds. - -,pm4ts
from customs, In gold, are vary
large, having increased his balance
four millions between the 10th and 20th
of May. The internal revenue receipts
are also very heavy, promising to be fully
$17,000,00 0 for this month. The Treas
ury is stronger than it ever was, and quite
able to inaugurate the financial policy to
which the, Eecretary has now committed
himself, and which will be fruitful of so
much solid advantage to the true finan
cial interests of both the Government
and the people. It is gratifying
to know that Mr. Botirrwsta. will hold
steadily to this policy, regardless of the
interested protests of certain journals
which are apparently manipulated by.the
gold-gamblers, and which, not without
good cause, see the ruin of their perni
cious traffic. in these wise steps for the
maintenance of the public credit, and for
the restoration of a healthier state of
things in the finances and business of the
country at large.

SOUTHERN POLITICS.
Tennesiee holds a judicial election this
week. The schism in the Republican
ranks has resulted in two tick' is being
put in the field, one by each wing- The
Conservatives, Democrats or ex-rebels—
different names for the same common op
position—present no nominations of their
own, but will support whichever of the
Repnbliian nominees whose suttees
would be least beneficial to the Republican
cause. The same State will elect a illov
enor and other Mate officers in August,
the canvass for which offers precisely the
same features. The Republican Statepon
yentlon, held last week at Nashville, to
nominate a ticket, split into two factions
and adjourned without agreeing upon their
candidates. Col. STOngs and A ctingi civ
ernor Szwron, representing the diecord
ant elements, will run against each other-
with the chances in favor of Berson,
both from his present official positiqu
acid
from the general inclination of the Con
servative element in his favor. An ex
rebel, in Tennessee, hates STORES as a
matter of course. The election is i likely
to result in a considerable modification of
the proscriptive policy, towsxd that class,
which at present controls the State 'affairs.
The elections in Mississippi and Texas,
inaugurating their reconstruction, under
new. Constitutions, are each to be held in
September. The President , has not yet
issued his proclamation therelor, but it is
understood that such is the decision
which has been come to. It is even pos
sible that the elections may be fixed for
August, if the registrations now lin pro
gress flan be seasonably comphited. It
is conceded, in sill quarters, that these
elections will result in the adciption of
the Constitutions, with or without, certain
clauses which may be submitted to sep
arate votes.
Virginia elects on the 6th of Stay, with
the prospect at present favoring !the suc
cess of the Wv.ixa, or Radical ticket, and
of the Constitution without its itest•oath
and disfranchisement clauses. The effort to
secure a separate submission of its provis
ions relative to county organizations
was engineered in the rebel interest, for
the purpose of excluding the hick popu
lation from the benefits of the school -laws.
This effort failed to secure the approval of
the President—and so much to i t the rebel
disgust, that it promises to repel a large
number of their vote from the aupport of
the WALKER, or Conserrative ticket.
The country is to be congratillatednpon
the prospect, at present so flattering, that
the reconstruction of these three States
will be completed before the close of the
summer, and that Congress will, in De
cember, be prepared to approVe the claims
of their respective delegation's to seats in
that body. Only Georgia will then be
left, remaining by her own Choice,
_stub
bornly and most unwisely, ;outside the
pale of the National clemency. The so
cial and political condition of that State
is really to be deplored. Hers

The Wheeling Ditelligeneer says: Short
ly before the last session of the Fortieth
Congress, it will be remembered, the New
York Traune came out in advocacy of
an amendment propbsing 14. Greeley's
plan - of "Universal Suffrage and Univer
sal Amnesty." Being sincerely desirous
of seeing Congress propose an amend
ment enfranchising the blacks, and be
lieving if the measure alitO included the
rebels it would not pass Congress, or if it
did would fail of ratification, we wro
forte a
'private note to Mr. Greeley, simply
information, stating that an amendment
enfranchising the negroes only would
doubtless be ratified by our Legislature,
while if It also enfranchised the rebels ft
would be sure of rejection.We offe
ebel
red
no`argtuilent'etther for - tlrr - against
enfranchisement, merely stating the
grounds on which we were sure the Re-.
publicans in the Legislature would vote
against such a measure. Mr. G. how

these positions as our own. He replied
as follows:
NEW Yong TRIBUNE, , V
NEN Yong, Nov. 18, 1368.
My Dear Sr: I have yours of the
16th. Its leading positions have long
been understood and .appreciated in this
quarter. Now hear me. •
Every year one thousand of your rebels
die, and one thousand (or more) of their
sons become of age. You can't disfran
chise THEM. You have now five thou
sand majority." Six years at the farthest
will convert this into a rebel majority
of one thousand, then the rebels
will be enfranchised in spite of you, and
the Blacks will be left under foot—and
you under-estimate these at two thousand:
Go your own way, see if the rebels
don't have you under foot in less than six
years.
I speak from a wide experience when
I tell you that your house is built on the
sand. It cannot stand. Every year
will see the passions of the war cool, and
-the demand for amnesty strengthened.
Now you can amnesty the rebels. Soon
the.question will be. Shall they amnesty
you? Look at Kentucky and Maryland
and read your certain fate in theirs;
