releasing the Hornet as a Cuban
privateer, the Administration have settled
the ; question of the belligerent rights of
the insurgents. They are once for all,
thus recognized by our Government. We
have . reason to deplore this as a serious
mistake. -
IN NOVEMBER the Free Traders will
take the field for an earnest and active
campaign on this side of the Alleghenies.
Public meetings will be held at Cincin
nati, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and
other important towns. Speakers emi
nent not only for their gifts of oratory,
but for their special knowledge of coma
martial theories and the Argmnents by
which those theories are upheld, • have
been engaged to attend these meetings.
The intention is to give a certain,direc
tion to puhlic opinion, and then to brink
that opinion to bear as forcibly and
speedily as possible upon Congress.
The Free Traders are in earnest, an d
mean to make the most of their opportu
nity, What do the men whose business
interests are directly involved in the per
manence of Protection think of doing ?
Is it their.purpose to let the issue,go by
default, or to meet their opponents
squarely before the people, contesting the
ground with them inch by inch ?
THE REGISTRY LAW.
There is high authority for believing
that the !Democrats of , Pennsylvania,
through the skillful but unscrupulous
maniimlation of their committees, polled
at the Presidential ele.ctipn laat year'over
twenty thousiuid fraudulent votes. Men
who were prominent in engineering those
frauds have since, in the freedoth of: pri
vate intercourse, confessed not only' to
participation in - the swindle, but to its
gigantic propprtions. For many years
the Democrats have at no time had an
expectation of carrying a State election
here that was not inspired by plans for
= polling thousands of fraudulent votes.
This is why their representatives in the
Legislature have steadily resisted all at
tempts to secure an honest registry of the
voters, and to exclude all others from
using the franchise. This explains, more
over, why their representatives on the
bench of the Supreme Court have exei
oised tli the ingenuity at ,their command
to find pretexts for setting aside as un
• constitutional array registry law that has
been enacted. Instead of straining a
point, according to legal rules, to correct
a shameless, abuse, they have availed
themselves even of the flimsiest techni
calities to extend complete immunity to
the rankest offences , against the purity of
elections, thus endeavoring to sap the
foundations of popular government.
• Notwithstanding all their malign efforts
a Registry law is in existence,,and its ef-
Sciency is to be tried next Tuesday. By
all means, let the experiment ben fair
one. No voter ought to be excluded from
-depositing his ballot. Rut, it must be
e
borne in mitudthat no man is alegal vot
unless he ippgs..disiseif clearly within
tieprovialoai of inch fax's reßolatinß
t e suffrage, as may be in force on the
day he claims the ~ ight to cast hia ballot.
Attempts will be made, under various
pleas, to nullify the law.' AU such en.
deavors should be counteracted. Let
there be a square and honest etpression
of the will of the legal voters, and there
can be no doubt where the decision must
• fall,
THE ALLEGHENY MAYORALTY.
The Republicans of Allegheny have
nominated Aix.x.INDERT. CALLOW,EBCI.,
as theireturlidate forthe hig,hest municipal
executive office of the city, to be supported
at the-polls next week. His; .majority at
the primary meetings, over his principal
`competitor- 3 7 4 in a total vote of 8,342
is a, decisive indication of the present
preferences of his Republican fellow-citi•
zent, and isfairly Vgcepted as such in all
Republican quartes—by none more
heartily than by many of the most active
friends of his rival in the primary can.
Van.
The present Mayor, trott. Smolt
Dfium i 'Ow holds his third term of that
While his first terffi was still in
complete, he resigned the office and en
tered the military service of his country,
acquitting himself with much credit. Re
turning home, he was again elected to
the Mayoralty, and re-elected at the expi
ration of that , term. Once more a
candidate before the primaries of
last week, he gracefully acquiesces
in the success of his competitor, - accept -
lug the disappointment of his own
wishes, not as an adverse judgment of the,
citizens upon the efficient rectitude of an
adtninistration which has commanded their
universal respect, regardless of partizan
preferences, but rather as the not wholly
unexpected expression of that popular
inclination for rotation in cffice which
is so marked a feature of our electoral in
stitutions. Saying -so much, it is not
superfluous to repeat that Mayor Dnuu's
official career luts given the highest satis
faction to the citizens of Allegheny. He
has been a vigilant, faithful and discreet
officer, of untarnished integrity, and a
more than usually ripe judgment. He
has enforced the laws and ordinances,
administered justice, maintained the peace
and upheld, in every particular, the inter
ests and the honor of the municipality
with a success which crowns his final re
tirement from office with the grateful
acknowledgments of all his townsmen.
The Republican nominee for the ensu
ing term, Major A. P. CALLOW, is widely
and favorably known in these cities and
county. By occupatiofi, a pressman, he
is in name and in fact a worittngman.
From Sumter to Appomattox, he followed
the flag and kept step to the music of the
Union through all the war of the rebel
lion, enlisting as a private soldier and
rising from the - ranks by the force of his
conspicuous merit. His' military career
was of the most honoraide character, and
is so remembered by the' host Of his
friends. Of more than ordinary mental
capacity, and with 'an education superior
'to the average, there is no question of
hie completa fitness for theplace to which
he is nevi& be called.
The Democracy have nominated a very
worthy citizen, Mr. Johin Awann, for the
same office. They talk of him as a
"citizens% candidate —that being
_their
usual dodge when they find themselves in
the popular minority—which always has
- ;been, and always will be, their hie* in
' 'Allegheny politics.

NEW YORK CITY.
[By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gatette.i
NEW YORK, October 4.—The Tribune.
of today. says: It has been ascertained
from authentic sources, and may be
definitely stated, that tthe following are
in substance the views entertained by
the President,' and sure to be carried'
out by his administration, with reference
to the questions involved in the Enturpe
case. The shipment of arms and muni
tions of war to either party' engaged
in the Cuban struggle is not prohibited.
The revolutionists have an equal Tight
to buy and ship arms with the Spaniards.
It is upon the fitting out of a naval or
military expedition that neutrality
laws operate. It is an entire mistake
to suppose that the United States
&limns have ever been instructed
to stop shipments of merchandise
even though it be in the form of articles
contraband of war. The owners and
master of the vessel must in all cases
take their own risk. But if an expedi
tion, whether of armed men or armed
vessels—or if a vessel fitted out and pre
pared and intended for naval warfare—
is started from our ports, then a question
of our duty as neutrals, or as a friend
ly power, arises, and even if we
had acanowledged the independence of
Cuba, oar duty and our rule could be no
differ a
ent until we hd directly and pub
licly espoused ono side
by making war upon the other. It must
be remembered that we constantly
bought arms of England during the re
bellion, and no onil questioned the right
of England to sell to us or the
Confederacy. Blockade runners took
their own risk of capturet• but the
Alabama was fitted out as a ship of war,
to destroy our commerce. The. Cuban
Republicans must learn to draw this
distinction before complaining of ou
conduct in this respect. As before r
re
marked, the recognition of their inde

_ Horace Greeley, in the Tribune, says
he could not accept the Virginia Senator
ship, and asks the press to forbear from
naming him as a candidate for any office.
The fbat learns that Jay Gould to day
sent notice to Mr. A. R. Corbin, Genius!
Grant's brother-in.law, that unless he set
tles today for the difference in three mil
lions of gold and two millions or
stock bought and sold for Corbin, and
his meociates, legal proceedings will be
taken against him. It is claimed that
the difference in the transactions which,
it is alleged, Mr. Corbin authorized Jay
Gould to make for himself and
associates; will amount to paw°.
Mr. Fiske; who is understood to be as
sociated with Gould says additional facts
will be forthcoming in case Corbin
denies the assertions already made by
him. The Post also says that Mr. Corbin,
who lies seriously ill, is preparing a
statement in reply
, to Mr. Fisk's letter.
Its 'nature may be gathered from! the
statements of friends, who have
te n ta en in comnaunicatio with him.
These deny that Mr. Corbin
ever, from the beginning of the gold
speculation, for many weeks to noon
of Friday, when the gold market broke,
September 24th, had.. any conversation
.With James Flake, Jr., on financial sub
jects of any kind, either alone or In the
presence of' others. They deny that
Corbin ever authorized or instructed any
person, either verbally or in wriling, durell
-
ing the same 'period, to either bby or s
goods or stooks: for him or for 'others.
,Mr. Corbin's friends say that the letter
of Fiske and the affidavits accompanying
-it, show a deliberate , attemptto place
Corbin in a falsepo sition. pl a ce
affidavit shows, they say,
when , analyzed, th eses engaged t for three
months this man win
watching Corbin's house in order to
be able to swear that Fisk and Gould at
different times actually passed in and
out of Corbin's door. They add that du
ring the whole course of the late gold
speculation, Fisk was not once invited by
Corbin to his house for any purpose, and
that, in short, the impression that Cor
bid was, during the gold excitement,
with Flak is not true-. Corbin's friends
say it is true both Fisk and Gould have
been in Corbin'zilouse. Tbey made var.
ions calls there with the pretent or ex
cuse of offering railroad and steamboat
acornmodations to Corbin's family. It is
asserted that one of these call was
made by Gould at Corbin's house
when President Grant was staying there.
It is added that Gould conversed with
the President, and asked himi isolate
miestions abont the general financial
policy of the Government. To this
Grant, it is asserted. replied that he bad.
told Mr. Bigelow, editor of the Times, in
a conversation, all he thought the public
needed, to know, and that Bigelow bad
put it allinto an article published some
days ago, to which Gould might refer.
This ex.plains the Presidents patience
with Fisk's interrogating him on the
boat, as well as his reference to a Previi
cue conversation. The Post says: The
above statement, we have reason} to be
lieve. contains the views of Mt. Corbin,
and Belli be repeated in any reply he may.

THOU BRUME:ST ME LIFE—
LUNG-V* ORT.
One- of the truest and most suggestive ideas
can be obtained from the caption at the bead
of this art cle; for of all diseases which impair
human health and shorten human life, none are
more prevalent than those which affect the lungs
and pulmonary tissues: 'Whether we regardlung
diseases in the light of a merely slight cough.
which is but the fore-runner of a more serious
malady, or as a deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant whit evil and foreboding of disaster.
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 eitieient treat
! meat is most desirable. and it Is thenthat danger
can be warded off and.a cure effected. In DR.
'KEYSER'S LUNG CURE you hays a medicine
of the greatest value in these conditions. An
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent.
succoring nature and sustaining the recupera
tive powers of the system, Its beautiful work
ings, in harmony with the regular fanctions, can .
be readily observed by the use of one or two bar'
ties: it will soon break up the chain of morbid ;
sympathies that disturb the harmonious work
inns of the animal economy. The harrassing •
cough, the - Manful respiration, 'he sputum
streaked with blood, will soon- give place to the
normal and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thirty years
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LUNG CURE, to give new bone to the con
sumptive tnvalhf and at the same time speedy
relief in those now prevalekt, Catarrhal and
throat affections, so distressing in their effects
and so almost certainly fatal in their tendencies,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DR.
KEYSER'S LUNG CURE is so thorough and ef
ficient, that anyl one who has ever used it,' will
never, be isithout It in the house. It will often
cure when everything else falls, and In simple
cases will cure oftentimes in a few days.
The attention of patients, as well as medical
men. 14 nrespectfully invited to this new and
valuable addition to the pharmacy of the conn
try.
DR. KitriEß may be consulted every:day
