GRANTING TEE
SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE.
Election Tuesday, Aug. 2,1564.
Dent Forget to be Assessed.
To-morrow,(Ady 22d) will be the last day for
easeument to entitle a citizen to vote at the
miming election on the 2nd day of August.
It is important that every vote be polled . for
the three amendments to be endorsed at that
election, and we therefore earnestly hope that
or friends will see that no ballot is lost by
the neglect of the voters to be assessed.
Cal& For Tlckets...The Costetitattonal
Arneadments.
The Secretary of the Dauphin County
Union Committee is now prepared to furnish
the tickets to be voted on Tuesday, August
9d, for the Constitutional Amendments. It
would be well if the member of the County
Committee, in each election district, would at
once interest himself in the distribution of
these tickets, seeing that they are placed in
She proper hands for use on the 2d of August.
Everything depends upon the care with which
these tickets are distributed —the individuals
with whom they are deposited for distribution
on the day of election. Mr. S. S. Child, the
Secretary of the Dauphin County Union Com
mittee, is prepared to furnish these tickets on
orders from reliable men in each district. Let
there be no delay in at once giving this matter
the strictest attention.
Recruiting. Agents in Revoltedlitategi.
It seems that the authorities at Washingtun
construe the act of Congress providing for
the filling up of quotas in loyal States, by re
cruiting in revolted States, so as to authorize
the Governors of the former States only to
appoint agents for each county. The Gov
ernors of several of the Eastern States ap
pointed agents for wards, cities and town
ships. The multiplicity of such agents, it is
feared, will create a rivalry and competition
from which nothing but confusion can arise
and by which the real objects of the law would
be defeated. By the appointment of an agent .
for each county, the people thereof, in every
ward, city and township, can alone be fairly
dealt by, as the recruits thus raised are to be
credited to the quota of such counties, and
then fairly apportioned among the sub-dis
tricts.
—lt is well that this decision of the De
partment at Washington be clearly understood,
as it will save applicants for appointment to
agencies much trouble and the authorities of
each State great annoyance. The recruits
this raised, will be turned over to the com
missioners in each county paying a bounty.
In counties where no provision has been made
by the local authorities for the payment of a
bounty, such recruits will be turned over to
any bounty committee organized to attend to
the business. It must be borne in mind that
the different counties must incur and pay the
expense of the agents thus to be appointed by
the Governor. Because this is so, Gov. Cur
tin is desirous of deferring to the commis
sioners in those counties paying a bounty, in
making these appointments; or to the bounty
committee where the commissioners refuse a
bounty, as the case may be. Altogether, the
business is important. From what we
can learn, many of the States in the East
only pay a nominal price for substitutes
as they are delivered within their limits—
and this price is so low as to render
it highly improbable whether they, will suc
ceed in filling up their quotas from the re
soiled States. Hence, if Dauphin county Be
mires a capable agent and resolves to pay a
•libiral bounty, there will be no difficulty in
tilling up our quota. It is for the commis
&tiers to act promptly if we are to succeed
hi avoiding a draft and still contribute our
Aare to lining up the armies.
Coutwatatioa OR the Draft.
There seems still to be much misunder
standing in reference to the period for whioh
that $3OO commutation heretofore paid, will
exempt a conscript. The Provost Marshal
General has decided this point very clearly,
and in order that the decision may be folly
understood, we have endeavored thus to sim
plify its true meaning: AU commutations, of
$3OO, if made at any time PCIOE to February,
186$, Doss =MK' Fos TEM mas. In Feb
ruary the Saw was changed so that the pay
ment of $3OO henceforth exempted only for
the Impending draft; while since the passage of
the sot of this month there is no commuta
tion whatever. Alt who are henceforth drafted,
and are found liable, must serve in person or by
mdetUete. This certainly simplifies the law,
so that there need be no difficulty hereafter in
comprehending its true meaning and intent.
The Westmorland Congremional District.
The Union Republican Conferees of this
District nominated Da. SKr= Pumas, of
Payette county, as the candidate for Con
gress. The nomination of Da. FoLum is a
good one. He represented the Fayette Sena
torial District in the State Senate one term,
baying been elected in 1860, with a majority
over his opponent in his own county of some
500, when at the same election Foaren had a
majority for Governor of 176. He is a work
ing man, an earnest and reliable Republican,
of exeellent moral character, and will make
sn Motet and attentive member of Congress.
The Democratic Leaders Opposed to Foy
. lug Bounties to Volunteers.
The Democratic members of Congress, who
are the recognized leaders of the cliques
which compose what is called the "Demo
oratiO party," have issued an address, setting
forth and discussing what is called their creed
or platform. Turning aside from the perver
sion of the truth which that address contains,
and treating it with the contempt which it de
serves, the effort to cast contumely on the
loyal cause, eve are surprised at the reckless
ness with which the authors and approvers of
this document assail the rights and the inter
est of the soldier, who is willing to peril his
life in defence of his country: It is well
known thatthousands of gpoit sipn have been
debarred from entering the army,' solely be
cause the pay of a private soldier was inade
quate to the support of a fanailyand these
men, true as well to their obligations and af
fections to their families as to their duty to
their country, paused only until provision
could be made for their families, and when
bounties were offered for this purpose, thou
sail& of these gallant men rushed to enroll
themselves beneath the banner . of their.-coun
try. The Democratic leaders now strive to
counteract the influence and power of this
patriotic action on the part of the masses.
Bence, in the address alluded to,issued by the
authority of the Democratic members of Con
gress, and published in all the copperhead
organs of the country, bounties to volunteers
are bitterly opposed Let the friends of the
soldier remember this fact.
Aro Soidiom; Felons or Freemen!
The issue involved in the amendment to
the Constitution, proposing to extend the
elective franchise to citizens who volunteer
to defend the State and fight the battles of the
Union, will establish for all time, whether a
soldier is a felon or a freeman. If, after peAl
ling hie life, sacrificing his business' nterests
and surrendering his domestic comforts, a
citizen soldier is depriVed of his vote—shut
out from participating in the control of the
Government and choked from'hll voice in the
selection of his rulers, then, in reality and
emphatically, he becomes, to all intents and
ptirposes, a mere felon, an outcast from soci
ety, a condemned and marked man, disgraced
and degraded forever. What father who .lias
a son in the army, will submit to such a tie
. cision being recorded in our annani—or 4ot
,endeavor to save the Constitution from the
polluting stain put upon it by • the deeisien
which has thus far disfranchised' our brave
defenders ?
To DEFEAT THE SOLDIERS' ENFRANCHISE
surarr.—The Norristown Herald• and Free Press
accuses the copperhead commissioners of
Montgomery county with having had tickets
printed and circulated to detest the amend
ment to the Constitution proposing to extend
the elective franchise to the soldier. These
commissioners are acting consistently, as they
only a few weeks since refused to grant a
bounty to volunteers. Who are the friends
of the soldiers ? Eh ! copperheads ?

The following important dispatch from Ni
agara Falls to the Rochester Democrat was tele
graphed to a private party in this city last
evening. We do not vouch for its accuracy:
NIAGARA Rum, Wednesday, July 20.
• Two weeks ago, Geo. N. Sanders, C. C.
Clay, of Alabama, Jacob Thompson, of Mis
sissippi, 'and J. P. Holcomb, of Virginia, ar
rived at the Clifton House, just across the
river from this place. Their arrival was duly
announced in the public press, and the object
of their mission, was understood to be to con
sult with the ,: Democratic leaders of the North
in reference to the Chicago Convention.
Results proved, however, that they had a
double purpose in view, which was first de
veloped to Horace Greeley by George N. San
ders, who wrote to Mr. Greeley, stating that
Messrs. Clay, Thompson and Holcomb were
duly recognized Commissionbrs of the. Con
federate Government, and desired to know
what terms could be made for terminating the
war between the two sections. He added,
however, that these Commissioners were not
specially authorized to negotiate for a cessa
tion of hostilities or a restoration of the
Union, but that they would like to have an
informal conference with such persons as the
United States Government might indicate to
meet them. These facts having been pre
sented to Mr. Lincoln, he requested Mr. Gree
ley to act in Abe Matter as he thought advisa
ble under the peculiar circumstances, and.
stated that he (Mr. L.) should at any time be
pleased to receive propositions from those who
had been in arias against the Government for
a return to their allegiance and duty as citi
zens of the Union.
He also stated that he should be pleased to
see the Union restored upon any terms con
sistent with the present and future safety,
welfare and honor of the Government. Mr.
Greeley having settled all preliminaries with
Mr. Lincoln, proceeded to this place, reaching
here last Mondoy morning, and took up quar
ters at the International Hotel. A correspond
ence was at once opened with the commis
sioners, and, as *final result, they made the
following proposition, and gave it as their
opinion that the Richmond government would
approve and ratify the same. The restoration
of the Union in statu quo upon this basis :
First. AR negroes which have been actually
freed by the war, to be secured in such free
dom.
Second. All negroes at present held as
slaves to remain so.
third. The war debt of both parties to be
paid by the United States.
Fourth. The old doctrine of State rights ; to
be recognised in reconstructing the INion.
This proposition was laid before Mr. Lin
coln by Mr. Greeley. The President at once
telegraphed to Mr. Greeley the terms upon
which he would propose a settlement and re
construction, to wit:
The full and complete restoration of the
Union in all. its territorial integrity; the•
abandonment of slavery by the seceded States,
under conditions which should, while respect
ing the property-rights of all loyal men, afford
ample security against another war in the in
terest of slavery.
After considerable correspondence between
the parties, it was concluded to refer the whole
matter back to the two Governments for re
consideration. All negotiations having been
terminated, Mr. Greeley, in company with Mr.
Hay; Private Secretary of Mr. Lincoln, called
upon the commissioners at the Clifton House,
on the Canada side, where a protracted and
pleasant interview was held, and the various
questions under consideration were discussed
at length.
Mr. Greeley left the Palls for New-York on
this afternoon's train. It is understood that
the commissioners, with Sanders and Jewett,
who are both here, are to remain and carry on
negotiatiens 'with the Democrats. A letter
is to be prepared for the Chicago Convention,
in Which the commissioners will hold out
strong assurances of a restoration of the
Union. under Democratic auspices. The whole
movement is regarded by many as a mere
scheme to entrap the Administration into a
false porition before the country = and the
world, for the benefit of the disriniorrDem
mats.
A MISSION TO RICHMOND. „
WASHINGTON, July 20.
An individual, fresh from Richmond, not
a released prisoner, but an honored gust,
entertained three days in the capital of the
Southern Confederacy, feasted by Jeff. Davis,
Benjamin and their compeeis, having around
him the romance and the mystery of an un
kimwn mission, and knowing the secrets of
the rebel prison-house, is rara avis enough to
make a sensation even amid the leaden and
and languid heat of a Washington Summer's
day. Such a personage, bringing with him
all the experiences enumerated, arrived here
to-day direct from Richmond by way of Gen.
Grant's headquarters. His name is Col. James
F. Jaques, of the Seventy-third Illinois Vol
unteers. Colonel, but parson also
' being a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal. Chinch.
Though neither envoy nor ambassador, CoL
Jaques had a mission - of his own, clothed
with no authority to speak for either Presi
dent or Government, he appears to have had
authority enough of some kind to command
a hearing from the prinipalities and iiewers
that sit in Richmond; is fine , without being a
plenipotentiary, he seems to be endowed with
a certain species of power behind the throns
that cau , -d him to be attentively listened to
and kindly treated by the chiefs of the re
bellion.
CHARACTER OF EIS MISSION.
Of the real object and end of Col. Jaques'
mission, I am requested by himself not now
to speak- It is perfectly proper to state, how
i -
ever; that it s in no respect official in its
character, and , that he had no warranty what
soever to enter into• any negotiations between
this goverriMent and the rebel authorities.
Any statement that would convey a different
impression is false. ' Secondly, it nu; be
litato that thttigh,Col. Jaques' mission on
teniptiretrriailtil of the highest importance,
these results are ulterior rather, than imme
diate. Finall y, it is warrantable to say that
though his mission was one of peace it was
not a peace mission. Col. Jacques belongs
to the churCh militant, and believes . most
heartily in dealing the rebellion what
Hnui
bras'calls - ,‘,.'algpstOlic. blows and knocks."
Yet he that the time will come, and
is rapidly coming, when an agency of recon
ciliation, which he believes to be of immense
power, can be used.
Animated by this sentiment, he succeeded
in so impressing his views upon Mr. Lincoln
that the (President, without according him
the smallest official-recognition or authority,
was willing, helieving his honesty of purpose,
that he should by. the eeriiitelit of a visit
to Richmond. Accordingly, he gave him a
personal recommendation to Gen. Grant to
pass him through the lines, or otherwise for
ward his views.
COL. TAVES GOES TO RICHMOND.
Thus aided, Col. Jaques, accompanied by
Mr. Edward Kirke, made his way from Gen.
Grant's headquarters by the north side of the
James river, and passing the rebel lines,
reached the confederate capital. Here they
remained for three days—Saturday, Sunday
and Monday last. - While in Richmond, Col.
Jaques,. at his own request. was , placed under
guard; but he had the entire 'freedom of the
city, and put up during his visit at the Spotts
wood House, the "crack" hotel of Richmond.
INTERVIEW WITH THE REBEL PRZSIDEHT.
The Colonel, during his three days' stay,
visited the various Confederate authorities, as
well as the prisons and hospitals in which our
captives and wounded are confined. He had
two prolonged interviews with President
Davis in his office in the Custom house ; and
although the nature and subject matter of the
conversations between himself and the rebel
President are not proper for present publica
tion, yet it is understood that Col. Jaques
met with considerable success in impressing
his views upon Mr. Davis. When taking his
leave, Davis took the Colonel's hand in both
his, shook it warmly and cordially, and stated
that, leaving out of view the present struggle,
he had the highest respect for his character
and aims.
rgra 4 :1[•:.0 "AO .4 0 114 L, 3 ,. .'10 P.CI .2
The Colonel, while a guest at the Spotts
wood House, fared sumptuously, being fed.
on chicken, turkey, mutton and all the viands
of a well-appointed hotel, and entertained
with fine brandies and costly wines. His bills
would have amounted to more than $5OO in
confederate money, but he found it impossible
to induce his entertainers to accept any re
turn for the hospitality he had received.
HE VISITS VARIOUS DIONTIU=SEL
Col. Jaques also had interviews with Mr
Benjamin, Secretary of State, Mr. Onld, Com
missioner of Exchange and other confederate
dignitaries and authorities.
THE REBEL PILLIONS
The Colonel was permitted to - visit the Lib
by and Belle Isle Prisons, and reports that he
was agreeably disappointed by the compara
tively comfortable condition .
in which he
found our Union captives therein, confined.
The wounded, also, though only the more
desperate cases are retained in the hospitals
of Richmond, he found as well cared for as
could be expected.
HON RICHMOND LOOKS
The streets of Richmond are almost desert
ed, few others being seen than soldiers, wo
men, negroes and cripples. Many of the
stores, however, remain opeu, and there is
some business activity.
frk.:s4:+lsoA.S4irl:X:sW.46,
Col. Jaques. describes Jeff. Davis as hale
and hearty in appearance, his health being
much better latterly than it had been, and
though thin in - face and person, the tough
and wiry constitution of the rebel ohieftian
presents no likelihood of his giving out dur
ing the natural life of the rebellion.
• CHABACTEB OF COL. JAQ Mt&
Extraordinary though Col. Jaques' story,
his mission and all belonging thereto may
appear, there can be no doubt whatever of his
thorough honesty; and with this quality he
appears to be credited both by our own and
the rebel authorities. Of his wisdom there
may possibly be more question.
