Tan Cincinnati Conanertial, an administra—
tion..paPei, in reference to a recent speech of
Wendell Phillips, says:
, "We conclude that the East wind is no lon
ger wholesome for Phillips. The Gulf breeze
is needed as a restorative of reason. There is
SD airy asylum at the Dry Tortugas, the virtue
of which might prove efficacious in a case of
such malignity."
Commenting on the Commercial's remarks the
Cleveland. Dealer observes:
dis We diSagree with the principle of regula
tlnglree speech, but if it it law, we should like
it to apply to other people besides Democrats."

THE TWENTY4OIIRTH WARD ELECTION
gnAUDEI.—Our court reports yesterday told the
story of the result of the trial of the dishonest
election officers in the Twenty-fourth ward,
who gave a certificate of election to a candi
date who was not elected, and this enabled him
to secure a seat in City Council, and, in fact,
defeated the will of the entire community in
the selection of important departments of the
City government. The offending officers were
yesterday sentenced to fine and imprisonment,
and the law under which they were elected
disfranchises them for a period of seven years.
This punishment, although severe, le well mer
ited. The false certificate was not given them,
by mistake or misapprehension; the returns
plainly, shoWed that Mr. Isaac Leech .was • not
elected; A m i t A im min, wi th a full knowledge
of the fraud they were committing,,impudently
handed over tb Leech the paper be was not en
titled to'. • Leech, at the" ithe, acknowledged the
- bold fraud, and declared that he-would not be
made &party to it by using the false. paper ;
but when the ten days had elapsed within tohich4l
was neeessa4 to contest his right, 'he elaimed and
obtctined a *eat in Vontmoit CounCit; upon the pa
per *kith 'he Avon to be fraudulent, and-for for
il.infi?wlitich the suilty-election officers have been
deprpred of , their citizenship and sent to the
cell of a prison.--Phileidelphica Beelletig.
If the facts stated here ere correct, the MAR
convicted deserve the punishment to: which
they were consignedan;l, if teach would ,
take our advice, he. would immediately resign
and retire train a situation to which he has no
legal claim. We have preached honesty in
and we mean T lL If any, of
political brethren offend they sha, not 'escape
censure from ns.. No man should receive pub,
lie countenance, who commits either a moral or ,
political fraud, until he shows 'sinc e re
toms of repentence.
GENERAL HALLECK'S PLAN:
The ,New York Iffirjd thinks Gen, Halleck
planned-the late battles in Virginia. It says;
We assume at the start that the. campaign
'was malted out in Washington before it was
undertaken, from`the fact that it embrsiced a,
co-operative movement on the part of the for
ces •not under General Hooker's 'control; in
deed, it is clear, from what has -taken place,
that Halleck and not ,HOoker has been the
General-in-Chief in this movement against the
rebel capital. His visit to General Peck, at
.Sittfolk, and General Keyes, at Fortreinf Mon
roe; previous to the opening of ' the campaign,
shows that - be personally attended to the - gen
erid. movement, and arranged, as far as possi
ble, its details in advance. -- General Hallech'e
plan embraced four -separate-movements ; one'
by General, Hooker, west of Fredericksburg, to
flank , that, pollition- and, menace the road. to
Gordonsville ; another by ,Gineral„Sedgwick
south of Fredericksbnig . to menace the direct
read to Riahmond 1 a thiril by General' Keyes
or Din to threaten the rebel capital itself; and
a fourth. by General Stoneman to. destroy the
railroads and. bridges between Lee's army and .
Ittchmond. General Halleck seems to have
riaiibued that Lee would not dat4 mass b l his
- forties on the Rappliliannock;and leave - Rich ,
mend- undetelnied;'and: that if he didtlae de
structien.of the rearbads in his rear and -the
cutting off of his communication would allow
General Keyes to • oecupy 'the' rebel capital
while General Iloolter was-fighting him bn the
Rappahannock. iThe movenients of the right
and left wings:of . the,psiert.army werealearly
based npon the 'theory 'Chat Lee would not
fight, but retreat to avert' the consequences
of a daalPttpian RiCKmOnd by - Gen: Keyes.
Hence General Hooker, when he uroosed,
. did not even attempt to ,provoke' a -fight, but
quietly entreuche,d himself 'near the Gordens
vile road, eakiefied 'that all lee would dire do
would 'be make -a feigned Minot, under
cover of which he'would attempt to escape.—
Then the two wings of the Union army were
to advance in pursuit. Bat here is where the
plan miscarried. 'lee may not have known
what was going on behind him, or of the dan
ger of Richmond ; or, if he did, was confident
of his ability to defeat Hooker's army, and save
Richmond afterwards. So, witita celerity and
boldness that kris had no parallel in this war,
be first crippled Hooker; using his whole
army to do it. Thie• was on' Saturday and
SUnday ; and then, on Monday, drove, our left
wing, under Sedge:tick, back ecr o ss the,river,
with great less. On Tuesday, amid the storm,
he commenced his- retreat, and a strfficient
force must have reached Richmond. by Thais
day or Friday at . furthest to preserve it against
any; army at the disposal of General Keyes...- :
The latter could not have moved toward Rich
mond before Friday, as he was waiting for
reinforcements at Vititite'House on Wednesday.
The failure to capture Richmond, therefore,.
was a miscalculation as to time. Had Gen.
Keyes' force been at West Feint on Monday
he could easily have taken it with 20,000 men,
as the cavalry reconnoissance on that day
proves the city to have been without a force to
defend it. Net only could Richnloud have
been taken, bat held, as the capture of Fort
Darling would have placed that city ,at the
mercy cd;a gunboat.
STARTLING TELEGRARH.-13aturagy night's
dispatches convey - the alarming intelligence
that our army lost, in killed and wounded, more
than .1,2,000 men ! ! in the late battles on the
Rappahannock, besides prisoners, 24 pieces of
artillery, and large iv/amities of ammunition,
and that a /ow majority of general officers de
sire a new. commander.
So the truth begins slowly to percolate
through the official 'atoll., and the people begin
by claim degrees to realize the magnitude of
the disaster they have suffered by trusting to
hired horse-jockeys like Wilkes, and mercenary
Pharisees like' Forney,
Let us now at last take warning, put Gen.
Welellan at the bead of the army which ido
lizes him, restore Pitt /oho Porter, discard the
Abolition Jacobins, and turn our attention
away from the Chicago platform to the Con
etitutlini of the United Steen. and the eau.
Lion of the ITaion.— Clev•Und Plaindealtr.

The revival of the system of arrests is an ex
periment of Seward Mid Stanton - , who &dire to
see how far they can try the public patience
and forbearance. Last fall, they lost the great
Central States of New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Ohio, upon this very question.
The voice of the people rebuked them, and they
have ever since resented it. They are now
trying to see how far they can defy it.
The "conservatism" 'which the Secretary of
State patented, was alwF.ya of 4 spurious char
acter. It does not improve by use. It was. ,
but one of the many false pretences upon which
he and his clique have, from time to time,
prolonged a vicious 'political existence. We
are not sorry to see the bubble burst, and if
the impostors are ended with the imposture,
so much the better.
This system 'of ,government repression of
discussion begins to operate in other w lye than
upon Democrats. We notioe that a meeting
called in St. Louie, to recommend the removal
of Halleck, was forbidden by the military
commander of the district, Gen. Davidson, or
rather he allowed the meeting, but forbid the
discussion of this topie.
His order, a gem in its way, embodied this
injunction in these 'words:
I have to say that so much of the object of
your meeting es refers to recommending 'to
.the President the. dismissal. of Major-General
Halleck from the chief command of the army,'

beasts by the rebel conscription officers with
bloodhounds. Having visited them in their
own 'homes, I have founded my belief upon
what I heard and saw there, that the day is not
far distant when we shall witness the downfall
of the rebellion."
Col. Prince followed, in his usually forcible
manner. In alluding to a remark which fell
from Mr. Day, respecting the united interests
of the North-west and South-west, he said,
with great emphasis . ; "We have come from
the West to your assistance, to put down trea
son, And in like manner we will always come
to your relief; when necessary, it matters not
who,may be the foe—foreign or domestic--
When the Mississippi is closed by hands hos
tile to the National Government, we of the
West will open , it with our hearts' blood, if
needful:' Yes, you may always count upon us.
Come as we may, btu we tode conic. We of Mi.
note have always looked upon the Mississippi,
the great Father of Waters, as our father, and
the people of the North-west, together with
thoao of the South-west, inuat have it for their
great highway of free communication with
each other.
A good anecdote is told of a Federal officer
who had been largely engaged in cotton spec
ulations. Falling sick, and becoming halt de
lirious from fever, the chaplain, fearing he
might die, was ursing him to repentance and
a preparation for Heaven. "Dear General,"
he said. "you will perhaps regales your march
ing orders soon, and you shou'd have your
armor on, ready to obey the order." Turning
over with a sigh, the General responded ; . 1 I
am always ready to net when the orders come,
but hew much cotton can I set there ?"

o f 4ie 4th, and on the 6th took possession of
Fort De Rnssey, about 8 miles from its mouth.
Oa the evening of the 6th I took possoosion of
the city of Alexandria, without opporition.
Gen. Banks arillived at Alexandria oa the eve
ning of the 7th. and I turned the _city over to
blot. ' (Signed). DAY/Ri D. rowan,
Rear Admiral. Commanding.
The *United States bark Roebuck captured,
an the 2d last, whilst attempting to run the
blockade, at St. Andrew's the British
schooner Emma Amelia, of 86 tone, loaded with
Wine, flour, &a.
THE POLISH SCYTHEMEN.—A letter !TOM
Cracow thus describes the dreaded scythemen
of the Polish Army: •
I believe the soldiers of Russia have the
credit ,of being to stand a bayonet charge
is welt tor batten than those of any other na
tion except One, iirhich.need not be particula
rized for the benefit of Etiglish readers. But
at close quarters the Russian !brinks from the
Polish scythe as from death Pena ; and when
ever it has been found possible to get the Kos
sanieri—in however small a number—within
something like reach of the enemy, the latter
'has turned and 'fled. This, after all, it not to
be wondered at. The Russian soldier, who is
only a Russian peasant, shaven, shorn and half
choked - in a tight military snit, is a. creature of
habit ; he had learned that to be skewered on
a bayonet is the sort of thing he has to expect,
and to which the men in his regiment have, in
a collective sense, long been accustomed. But
to be slashed in the face by people who turn
their reaping -hooks into sabres, and their
scythes into two edged swords, is more than he
ever bargained for, and he won't stand it
.On the other hind, the seythemen are said to
have become quite unmanageable when they
were, exposed for any length of time to the fire
of the Russittite, to Which they were, of course,
unable to reply. Accordingly r as a general
rule, they have been kept out of sight,,eitber
in ambush or behind ordinarY infantry, Until
the 'moment arrived for them to rush for Ward
and strike terror into the ranks of the Musco
vites. All the victories. gained ,by the insur
gents under the command of Langiewicz, (and
I can't think of an instance in which they were
really beaten,)'-ha've been decided by the ecYthe
men, or the Zouaves, or the scythemen and Zou
ayes in comMnation, and generally the scythe
men alone. At Skala, Langiewicz not'only led
the scythemen in person, but himself carried a
scythe, which he took up at the last moment
before giving the order to charge.
