THE MEETING TO-NIGHT
Let none of our friends forget the
Republican rally to be held ; this evening
at City Hall,. at which Senator Join;
Scorr and other distinguished Speakers
present to address their fellow
citizens on the important issues Of the
hour. Ample arrangements for th\e ac
commodation of ladies have heen made,
and it is hoped that the meeting will
prove the most encouraging and i:arnor
able of the campaign.
MEI' are figuring up, at Washington,
a Republican majority in Pennsylvanis.
A full vote next week will furnish figures
vastly more reliable. And we shall have
them.

Times, was the immediate cause for the

circumstance would make a great hole in

TIIB - ARCTIC researches of Captain
Hayes have settled the question that Sir.
Joha Franklin was the first actually to
solve the problem of the North- Vest Pas-
sage. Having, on previous voyages from
the West, sailed Eastward as far as Cape
Herschell, 4 the Westward Expedition
which resulted fatally, penetrated beyond
that point and so completed the chain of
communication. A late navigator, Cap

to achieve the same success and to receive
the reward therefor.

Democ:rati3'are running two candidates
for Senatoi, - both claiming to be regular,
with about equal show: These are Mr.
Buckalew, late United States Senator,
and Mr. Chalfant, the editor of a news
paper at Danville. The Republicans
hare nominated Mr. Whitmoyer, of Co.
umbia county, with what chances, if
any, it is hard to tell at this distance.
The district is composed of Columbia,
Montour, Northumberland and Sullivan
counties, and polled, last year, a Demo.
cratic majority of 3,097.
Mr. Buekaleyr has all the Democratic
newspapers on his side except Mr. Chal
fant's. How far this circumstance may
be taken as an index to popular opinion
in the party, we shall not undertake to
determine. But it is clear that the hind
most of their candidates, if both remain
in the field, must poll a respectable num
ber of votes, or Mr. Whitmoyer will
certainly be defeated. Fortunately, the
Republican majority in the next Senate
will not depend on his election.
IT is a fact worthy of runark that the
Dpmocracy of the western section of the
State, and indeed, we think, of the entire
Commonwealth, have in the present cam
paign thus far failed to hold a single pub
lic meeting, conducting their part of the
canvass in a quiet and undemonstrative
manner. This course .they hope will
win, but it seems that they are particular
ly distrustful' of the people, since no open
avowal of their policy or principles dare
be made. The simple truth is that they
are ashamed to be found occupying the
same old positions in which they have so
often been stormed and defeated, and from
which they have never dared to make a
progressive step. Their silent campaign,
with its mysterious dark lantern pro
ceedings, certainly presents a striking
contrast - witla the open and fearless course
of the Republicans, who are everywhere
aroused to the impOrtance of the issues in
volved in the canvass, and who are anx
ous to proclaim to the whole world the
principles they have espoused.
LAST wrsx tlie Delaware, LackaWan
na and Western Railroad Company re
sumed its monthly sales of coal at auc
tion. Ninety thousand tons were sold,
in lots, and at low prices, lump bringing
only $5.12 and smaller sizes in propor
tion, but none exceeding $6.50. Of course
these are wholesale rates, and retail
prices, to compensate for handling and
loss by abrasion, with the addition of
profits, must be at least $1 higher, and
perhaps $2. This decline sustains abun
dantly the assurances given by the lead
ing coal companies during the
_panic
about coal two :months ago, when they
offered to contract at $7 for winter deliv
ery.
grand
This falling off in prices, while it suits
consumers exactly, does not, gratify
the miners. The point Of depression is
nearly reached at which "the basis" pro
vides for a strike with a view to sending
up prices, by diminishing the supply. In
the Mahanoy district, Schuylkill county,
the miners in nearly all the collieries have
actually struck, demanding an advance of
fifty per cent., which it is clear enough
the employers cannot concede, unless the
price of coal shall advance. Negotiations
are progressing between the operators and
miners, but we do not see any probability
,pf their coming to an aereement.
THE STRATEGY OF FAINT HEART.
The New York Tribune has no choice
between the opposing tickets in Texas
and Mississippi; and it insists that the
Federal Administration shall indicate
none. Why ? Because that journal ap
prehends that the XVth Article would
thereby be endangered. The Tribune
may dismiss its own sense of anxious re
sponsibility in the premises. The people
of those two States have themselves
drawn the lines of discrimination clear
and sharp.
Every Republican in Texas supports
the Davis ticket, and every rebel—no
matter whether he calls himself Democrat
or Conservative—will vote the ticket just'
set in the field by a convention of opposi
tion editors. The Hamilton movement has
gone up; or all that is left of it means noth
ing else but the disruption of the Republi
can party of the State. Does the Tribune
supposethat with the defeat of Davis the
Article would be ratified, except .for the
fact that no , reconstruction is otherwise
possible? It is true that either party, if suc
cessful, must ratify that proposition, but
is it nothing to secure the control of the
State government in sound Republican
hands? And,. shall the President deny
the legitimate influence of the Federal
government against a murderous faction
of which. Gen. Reynolds has exposed the
true character to the world, and which,
in all these loyal States, finds not one to
defend it except the editor of the Tribune}
We have a report that the Administra•
don's avowal of sympathy with the Davis
ticket so stirs up the local pugnacity that
twenty more Republican speakers are to
take the. field 'for the Hamilton , ticket.
Very likely! Drawing lines straight
and sharp, in the midst of so much pre
vious confusion, usually results in un
masking a large. amount of pretension,
and Texan Republicanism will be the
purer and stronger for the weeding which
this report indicates. Whether, the cause
of sincere. Unionism is, for the moment,
to gain or to lose thereby, its permanent
and effective advantMe demands that the
discriminations - be fearlessly made and
4dhered to without flinching. Hamilton

advocates will, in due time, report them-

selves at the end of their march within
the opposition lines, and it is a loss. of
time, and trifling with the situation, to
attempt to purchase their adhesion to a
sincere Republicanism at a price which
would permanently bankrupt the party.
So in Mississippi. Ratificationis also
an indispensable condition there, which
neither party can or will disregard. Gen.
Alcorn, heading the Union ticket, declares
that an opnosition triumph "would sweep
away all the results of peace, order and
prosperity which have so far attended the
restoration of civil government in the
State." He stands with his Convention,
upon the broadest platform of equal
rights. Against him and his ticket,. the
party of murderers who are working for
a Ku-klux victory, and whom the
Tribune begs the President to let alone,.
are straining every effort to create a reign
of terror in order to overawe the polls.
Gen. Ames reports, since last March,
thirty-two murders, thirteen deadly as
saults and as many other flagrant outrages
—the perpetrators, every man of them,
the rebel lambs whose sweet voices the
Tribune begs for the new Article.
It' the Tribune had had its crotchety
way, and no condition precedent, in the
reconstruction act, existed to tie the hands
of its dear friends who control the Vir
ginia Legislature, how muck ratification
would the Article there receive?
This New 'York journal scolds the
folly of the Administration in rendering
a tardy support, or any support at all, to
the Stokes. wing in Tennessee, declaring
that it should have "exacted a pledge,
from the rebels enfranchised by Senter,
that they would ratify the Article." This
is a crowning exhibition of the Tribune's
ignorance and presumption. Every rebel
in the new Tennessee Legislature stands
already pledeed, from every stump and
In every platform of the late campaign,
to ratify that Article, and the pledge is
worth no more than that would have been
which the Tribune proposes—not even
the paper it covered or the breatk for its
utterance.
Out upon such politics! Let us be
thankful that we have a more sensible
and practical Republicanism at the White
.House than in Printing House Square.
The President heeds, and accords with,
the universal .lemand of a loyal nation
that the only party of liberty,peace and
equality in the South Shall never vainly
ask the effective countenance of a Re
publican Administration. The XVth Ar
ticle lit() be secured at last by resolute
and downright work, under a flag which
is not to be mistaken, and not by the
timid, vacillating and point-no-point pol

clings to.:

NEW Tints, October 3. 1369
The Times asserts positively that not
withstanding the dot ial of the fact by
Marshal Barlow, the steamer Alabama,
under command of Captain Ltmeburne,
left the port last Sunday evening for Cuba,
carrying several hundred men and an
extensive supply of munitions for
the Cuban revolutionary army. Her
armament consisted of thirteen pieces
of heavy ordnance, two thousand
Remington rifles, and a large amount of
piOwder and ordnance stores. Exactly
five hundred and thirteen men, among
whom were one hundred and sixty-eight
of the disastrous Whitney expedition,
which was seized at Gardiner's Island
last summer, took passage on her. The
steamer Entrupe has not yet gone to sea.
The brig B. F. Nash was recently sus•
pected of having concealed arms' on
board, but a thorough search proved; it
to be a false report.
The steamer Cuba, formerly the Hor
net, is reported to have been off Barngate
on Thusday last. She was seen about
five, p. in. by a pilot who returned
here yesterday, who spoke her. He de
scribes her as being ender sail with
banked fires, evidently saving coal. She
was steering S. S. E. Her commander,
Captain Higgins, was formerly In the
United States Navy, but during the war
forsook his command, and become a
Confederate officer."
A member of the firm of Lockwood St
Co., denies, upon authority; the rumor
that the liabilities of their house ap
proach anywhere near the sum motioned
—between twenty and thirty millions' of
dollars—while their losses have not yet
been fully developed. It is positively
asserted they are not Involved to half
this extent. 4
It is proposed by some members of the
Gold Board Exchange to commence at

The rules whieh were suspended by
the Gold Exchange on Thursday will go

suspended by the Exchange. Should
the rules be enforced on Monday, parties
who have failed to make settlements will
be liable to have their gold sold out, and
will also be liable to fines for their delin
quency.

THE CAPITAL
(By Telegraph to the rittsburzla Gazette.?
WASHINGTON, October 3, 1369.
THE ADMINISTR 4TION AND THE GOLD
PANIC
As comments have been made in the
newspapers affecting the Administration
in connection with the recent gold panic,
and much Interest Is felt on the subject,
the Washington agent of the Associated
Press to-night called upon the Presi
dent to ascertain whether there
was any foundation for the insin
uation, or direct charges against the
administration. The President con
versed with the utmost frankness on the
subject, and said he had not thought
proper to publicly contradict the state
ments concerning himself, as he
had done nothing whatever to
influence the money • market, or
to afford any advantges to pri
vate parties. While in New York he
had many voluntary advisers, but he re
peatedly said to them that the Adminis
tration always held itself in a position to
act as it seemed best, and free to make
any changes of policy for the public
interest. In the course of the conversa
tion he stated that while on the eve of
going to Newport, Jas. Fisk, Jr. came
on board the steamer at New York and
'said to the President that Gould had
sent him down to esk that he would pri
vately give them a little intimation as to
'what the Administration was going to do,
on the financial question. He replied
that the giving of such-information
would not be fair, and asked Fisk wheth
er he did not think so himself. Fisk ad
mitted that it would not be fair. The
President then informed him that when
ever the Administration was going to
change its action or policy, the Secretary
of the Treasury would give notice
through the newspapers, as usual, so
that all might at the same time know
what it was, thus excluding any possible
charge of favoritism. On the morning of
the pauic Secretary Boutw3ll coniniuni
cated the state of affairs in New York,
when the President said: 'Sell five mill
ions gold." The Secretary replied he had
come for the purpose of suggesting the
sale of three millions. The idea of selling
gold thus appearing to be in the
mind of each at the same time. A few
minutes thereafter an order was tele
graphed to New York to sail four millions
gold. It may be repeated that the Presi
dent had informed no one of the purpose
of the administration on financial sub
jects, and the same remark is equally
true of the Secretary of the Treasury.
HIGHLY INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
The correspondence between C. H.
Mallory a Co., owners of the steamspip
Euterpe, and the Secretary of State, is
furnished for publication. Under date of
dew York, October Ist,
.the owners ad
dressed Secretary Fish stating that the
Euterpe bad been chartered to Jose
Pesant, to load with artillery for Havana,
and that they were informed by rumor
that a priveteer is waitingollSandv Hook
to intercept the steamer, and asking in
that event, what protection they would
have from the United States Govern
ment.
Secretary Fish, in reply, states that
while a convoy cannot . be given to the
vessel, the United States will, if a vessel
carrying their flag is imolested on- the
high seas, use all their power to punish
the offenders, and to prdvent a repetition
of the offence.
uLooM' ricTu RE OF AFFAIRS IN CUBA
Letters from Cuba received here-yes
terday confirm previous accounts of the
insubordination and treachery in the ;
Cuban army. Gen. CeSpedes and Gen. ;
()aesada are untiring in their endeavors
to harmonize the conflicting elements,
but without success. The Americans .
are anxious to get away. They report
every promise made them before leaving
New York has been violated, and the
representations of the state of affairs on
the island are equally- false. The
Americans who have I escaped de
scribe the condition of their 'comrades
sal the most piteous. They are compelled
to take the front in all contests, and
receive no quarter from the Spaniards.
The wounded, who-In exigency of bat
tle, are loft upon the field are invariably
murdered. To this is to be added
the almost daily assassinations
of their comrades by those whose icicle.
pendence and liberty they were induced
to volunteer to assist in securing.
Several engagements have taken place,
in all of which the Spaniards have been
defeated, and in each of which the Amer
icana have lost largely. These fights are
stated to have been unimportant in their
results as affecting the conclusion of the
war.
INTERVIEW OF STEEL IMPORTERS.
The steel importers had an interview
with Secretary Bontwell yesterday, and
represented that their business was &If
fering,on account of the action of the
American Consul at Sheffield in refusing
to certify their - invoices, and they asked
an investigation of the charges preferred
by manufacture's in this country. Sec
retary Bontwell said the latter should
be investigated, and
In
the meantime
they might pay increased duties under

EJECTED FROM TILE DRESS CIRCLE.
Three colored men attempted to take
seats in the dress circle of the National
Theatre to-night, and when politely re
quested to go to the place assigned to
colored persons, refused to leave the
dress circle unless compelled to do so by
the officers of the house. They then left
under compulsion of his order, no phys
ical force being used; and it is supposed
the question of the rights of negroes, un
der the recent corporation law relating
to places of amusement, will now be
tested.

In the Senate. The Prince reminds them
of the bonds which have always united
France and America. and continues:
The present position bears resemblance
to that at the close of the last•century.
France seeks to found a liberal demo
cracy at the moment when America
emerges from a gigantic struggle
for the destruction of slavery,
which dishonored the republic. The
methods of France and America are
dilferent,but the end is the same. Consti•
tutional liberty established in France
will place the political sentiments of

In conclusion, the Prince thanked his

democratic sentiments, which alone can
secure the end at which they aim—the
alliance of the Empire with liberty.

Sr. Louis, October 3.—A dispatch from
Fillmore, Utah, dated the Ist, says at ten
minutes to seven o'clock this evening a
violent shock of earthquake was felt. It
passed from south to north apparently in
a due line. The State House rocked and
trembled for live or ten seconds,
then the shock gradually collapsed
to it trembling, and distant rumb
ling was heard. 'ln the dwelling
houses in the city the windows, doors
and cupboard furniture rattled and
shook. It is said to be the most violent
shock that has been felt in this part of
Utah since the first settlement. The
shock and trembling altogether lasted
two minutes.

THOU BRINGEST ME LIFE-
LUNG-WORT.
One of the:truest and most suggestive idea
can be obtained from the caption at the head
of this art:cle; for of all diseases which Impair
human health and abortat human nre, none are
more prevalent than those which affect the lungs
and pulmonary tissues. 'Whether we regard lung
diseases In the; light of a merelysllght cough,
which is but the forerunner of a more serious
malady. or as a deep lesion corroding and dis-
et:dying the pulmonary structure, it- is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of dlsaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than in those of the lungs,
for it is in them that early and efilelent treat-
ment is most desirable, and It is then that danger
can be warded off and a cure effected. In DR.
KEYSER'S LUNG CURE you have a medicine
of the greatest value in all these conditions. An
alterative, a tonic, a 'nutrient and resolvent,

aintrathies that disturb the harmonious work-

cough, the painful respiration, itie sputum

normal and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thir i ty years
has enabled Dr. geyser, In the compounding of
his LUNG CUBE, to give new hope to the con
sumptive invalid and at the same time speedy
relief in those now prevalelt, catarrhal and
throat affections; so distressing in their effects
and so almost certainly fatal in their tendencies,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DR.
KEISER'S LUNG CURE Is so thorough and ef.
Solent, that any one who hue ever used It, will
never be without It in the house. It will often
cure when everything else fails, and in simple
cases will cure oftentimes in a few days.
