TOILORROW the Republican primary
meetings will be held in Allegheny, when
candidates for municipal and ward offices
will be chosen. Every Republican voter
who desires good and true men at the head
of the city government should cast his vote
between three and seven o'clock in the
afternoon. A nomination in Allegheny
is equivalent to an election, which makes
the primary meetings more important
than the general election. - Let every Re•

ONE LnMtis, representing one of the
rival Cuban Juntas in this country, ad
vertises that the insurgents have but one
Constitution; that this decrees an abso
lute emancipation of the slaves, and that
their immediate freedom has everywhere
followed the flag of revolt. The state
ment is so completely at variance with
other 'and better information, and espe
cially with the tenor of all Erevious re
ports from the insurrectionary districts,
as to convince us that Senor Lerhus feels
a profound contempt for the truth.
AT THE RATE for the current quarter
just closing. of the fiscal year, the receipts
of internal revenue for this year will ex
ceed those of last year by full forty mill
ions of dollars. This . proyes -what sad
work these "rascally Radicals" are ma
king of the public interests ! It was high
time for Mr. -Packer, and some .other
Democratic millionaires, to do what they
can to stop St, by virtuously declining to
contribute more than $8.95 apiece to the
swollen coffers of a Radical Administra
tion. They have done what they could
in that way, and an appreciating people
will - know how to credit them for it.

New , York insisted, the other day, that
our - only question with Cuba' is:—"What
shall we do to promote her emancipation?
The question of annexation is not pend
ing." This was a well-intended sugges
tion to avert the odium with which the
people regard the current effort of a small
but noisy clique to involve the country
in a policy of annexation. at a large cost,
incidding, probably, a foreign 'tar. But
the Repriblicitn CoriVeittion of the same

free public instruction which is, itself, to

H. E. REED,
THE COMING ELECTION.
In eleven days the people of Pennsyl
vania will have made choice of a Gov
ernor, a Supreme Judge, and a Legisla
ture. As we read the portents, these are
all predestined to be Republican, but not
without the continuance of proper exer
tions on the part of the advoutes of that
political faith. We know the difficulties,
such as the r y are, in the way of the con
summation, and we iealize the powerful
inducements to such efforts as shall tender
the triumph certain and conclusive.
The re-election of Goy. GEARY is a
necessity to the party. It would not
add a particle to his personal aggrandize
ment or to his place in history. So far,
he has, in fact, no need of the party. In
the position he occupies, the party has
need of him. Indeed, it cannot do with-
outhim,
The great struggle that has convulsed
this country for thirty years is not closed,
though we are thankful for multiplying
indications that it is drawing to an end,
and in such a way as to console and in
spirit the friends of personal liberty
and representative government, here
and in alVparts of the world. What -re
mains is to secure the complete recon
struction of the Union on conditions
that shall obliterate the 'old causes of
contention without implanting fresh ones.
To this end it is essential to 're•admit
the white population of the Southern
States to a full and unconditional partici
pation in all the rights and privileges of
citizenship, but only. when the equaulal
rights and privileges of the black pop
tion shall be effectually secured. Univer
sal amnesty, coupled with universal
suffrage, wilt meet the exigencies of the
case, and nothing else will. It is folly
or madness to urge an adjustment that
shall deprive the, blacks of that political
power which is the surest, if not the
only defence of all their interests as in
dividuals and as a race. Such a settle
ment, it could possibly be made to
subserve a temporary purpose, would
remit the embarrassment, with accumu
lating evils, as a baleful legacy to the
next generation. It would inevitably
fall into the category With all the other
compromises of inherent and vital prin
ciples which were tried in former years,
to the disgrace at once of our statesman
ship and humanity. • The Democrats
of several of the Southern States, enlight
ened by the stern discipline of the war,
are taking sensible and wholesome views
of the situation. They have reached the
conclusion • that the whole solution had
better be made now than be postponed,
and they shudder at the suggestion of
sending the most intrinsic and weighty
question of all down to posterity, with
- ue
certain to follow in its train. We have,
therefore, no sneers for the readiness with
which they now covet the political co
operation of the blacks, but reserve sneers
all for those northern Democrats who
have learned nothing though they haire
been brayed immortars, and after succes
sive defeats have nothing animate remain.
ing but undying and persistent malig
nity.
But more than the re-election of Gov.
GE.A.BY is 'required to enable the Republi
can party of Pennsylvania to perform its
whole duty. It must secure the reten
tion of Judge Wimums upon the Mach.
It is puerile to declaim against what is
denominated the intrusion of politics into
courts of law. . Where shall politics make
its presence felt if not in the judiciary ?
The judges have the laws to interpret and
apply. There is no higher function in
politics than this; and none so high ex
cept the co-ordinate functions of making
the laws and seeing that they are faithful
ly executed. , , •
Judgei have political opinions. They
who have none are unfit for the magistra
ture. The two political parties into
which the people are divided represent
two different political conceptions, which
they respectively endeavor to have illus.
trated in the practical operations of the
government. As well talk of keeping
these two opposing conceptions out of
executive chambers and legislative halls
as out of the courts ofjnatlce. They must
and will enter into every department of
National and State organizations.
Of the four Judges of the Supreme Court
of this State who hold over, two are
Republicans , and two Democrats..eacir
two sharing in and striving to give effect
to the ideal of the party by which they
were nominated and elected. There is

but simply that wbich is natural and ben
e
•
We want the Republican party to be in
the ascendency in the Supreme Court, for
the same reasons that we desire to have
the Presidnt and Governor and working
majorities in Congress and the Legisla
ture. Without the concurrence and help
of a majority ut the judges, the Repub
lican party will certainly be impeded, to
the great damage of the people.
Mr. Williams is the right person to de
termine which way the balance of political
opinion shall incline in the Supreine
Court. A man of the strictest moral in
tegrity, instinct with the deepest reli
gious convictions, of large mental powers
which have been carefully and variously
trained, experienced in the subtleties, and
the solidifies of thelavr, and in the very
prime of life; he is pre-eminently qualified
for the delicate and arduous post for
which he has been designated. Tbis is not
a matter of inference ‘ or conjecture. He
has been triedis in this very service
now. The reputation he carried qpon
the. Supreme bench, when he took a seat
there under appointment from the Gov
ernor, has not merely been sustained but
enlarged. In that position he has
impresied most favorably legal gen
llemen from all the counties of the State,
and of both political parties, by the na
tural force of his mind, by the nice bal
ance of his judgment, by the subordina
tion in which he holds passion and preju
dice, by hie extensive and accurate
knowledge of the laws, by the supremacy
he allows to considerations or justice and
equity, and by his personal bearing and
demeanor.
• In view of the case as thus presented,
we appeal earnestly to our Republican
readers to make no engagements that
shall interfere with their attendance at
the
_polls on the 12th of next month.
Let there be a full vote, which means a
crowning victory.
A SWINDLETR OP &ND ITS CATAS
HE.
The story of financial experience in
New York, for the week past, is a short
one. First, a gigantic swindle was en
gineered, then two or three days of spec
lation run-mad, a dead-lock in the adjust
ment of the vast and complicated transac
tions, the failure of subsequent expedients
to relieve the situation, and then, a panic in
the stock market, and the final ruin of a
large number of dealers, the suspension
of one bank and s sharp contraction of
kusiness by others, with a general appre
hension of still greeter embarrassments
and distress to follow. At this writing,
the crash of speculation seems to have
been general, and the condition of legiti
mate business in New York has been
made decidedly unpleasant.
We must, however, adhere to the opin
ion that, while the ruin wrought by the
excitement of last week among these
gamblers, whether' in gold or in stocks,
promises to be vastly more general and
disastrous than when we adverted to it a
few days since, it is nevertheless confined,
thus far, to the business houses which
either speculated for their own account,
or as the brokers for gambling principals.
The failure of their own debtors, the
losses made directly by themselves, or the
inability of these principals to make
good their margins of los3, and, withal
the locking up of so large an amount of
solid values in the choked and paralyzed
clearing-house, then the fresh panic in
stocks which came to deliver the coup ,de
grace to so many dealers already tottering
on the verge of ruin—these are the causes
of the present crisis in the financial metro
polis, and which, fortunately, mark as
clearly the limits within which the mis
chief is confined.
In this position of affairs, it is but a
small consolation to the au rr..--re, ur to
ux.r......-cry whim noes not fail to realize
a large temporary embarrassment from the
existing panic in these financial but spec
ulative circles, to know that the handful
of men, who have engineered the opening
movements which have resulted in such
general disaster, have themselves been,
nearly every man of them, caught and
crushed by the fall of. the fabric which
their canning cupidity had reared.
These reckless and disreputable adventur
ers have coruscated through a dazzling
round of apparent successes in the
railway and financial world for two
or three years past. They have fallen at
last, and with them collapses the great
Erie "ring," and, if we are not mistaken,
its very menacing and influential coali
tion with one unscrupulous wing of the
Now York Democracy is also blown . to
fragments forever. That infamous part
ndrship will never again carry the States
of New York and New Jersey for Sey
mour or any other Democratic candidate.
The Gold Exchange Bank has failed.
And forty or fifty brokers and financial
dealers have also "gone up." Perhaps a
still larger number are soon to follow.
The legitlite busixtess interests of the
country sag quite sound and will not,
suffer, beyond the brief delays required
to clear up the lately convulsed atmos
phere of Wall street. Holding this view,
the country will not regret the explosion
which promises so to cleanse and reno
vate the purlieus of the money-changers,
as to expel, for at least a season, an ele
ment which never has been of any benefit
to the splid interests of the people, and
which, of late years, has really threatened
the moat serious mischiefs to the country
at large.. .
We perceive that the R roporition, to
give . to all tone transactions in gold the
legal effect of contrasts for an lntitedhtte
.
GAZETTE Of"MOlldfty last, finds very gen- '
eral favor not only in New York but
among Senators, one of whom, Gen.
Wilson, of Massachusetts. designs to lb
troduce a bill 'to that end at the coming
session of Congress. There is no doubt
that a measure of 'this sort would effec
tually preclude the recurrence of
such events as have marked the last
week's financial annals of the metropolis. ,
In this connection, it is proper to state that
as4xisting law of Pennsylvania for our
ow people provides precisely that reme
dyl t
which we have urged upon, and
wh ch Gen. WILSON will preserit to, Con
gress for adoption in the Federal law.
All time transactions of this sort are here
legally regarded as cash contracts for im
mediate delivery. Let New York copy
the provisions of our law, or let Congress
apply them to the country generally, and
the New York gold•room will be closed in
an hour. .

LoxpoN, September 30.—Mr. Cardwell,
Secretary of State, in a speech to, his
constituents at Oxford last evening, fa
vored the confederation -system in Can
ada as one that should be encouraged in
all the English colonies. , He said
the general policy of governing
colonies from home was a total fail
ure, and there had, consequently, been
substituted a policy to encourage them
to develop their own power and resour
ces, and stimulate them to a spirit of
self-reliance. He showed how successful
this policy had been in the case of Canada,
and briefly reviewed the progress re
cently made by that colony. She had
already an army of her own, and such a
merchant navy that, if her people chose
to adopt the act passed for the pur
pose, she might become one of the
first maratine powers of the world.
This, the speaker said, was, the
true policy to pursue. If we ben
efit the Canadians we benefit our
seltes. Also, by this policy our colonies
have become sources of strength and
honor; at d when the time comes, and
• England calk for the support of her col
onies,
there will be a confederation such
as the world never saw under a single
sovereign. •
