the Union. Yesterday that paper tinot
ed the, tollnwing from an address by out
State Central Committee:
"The life of our beloved country is in danger.
The nation withers under the throes of wide

The Home Vote.
We understand by the honie vote that
east exclusively by civilians as dis
tinguisbed from soldiers, On this a
large amount of money has been staked
which is likely to be contested—out
ground taken is that in Philadelphia the
army vote in the hospitals was all count
ed as the home vote. This may amount
to two thousand votes and must be ex
cluded in computing the aggregate. We
copy the following -from the Philadel
phia. "Aqe" which we have not seen
disputed and which settles the question:
"There lean impressicni in stabile quar
ters that the vote from the several hos
pitals in thiS CRY is yet to be counted,
and added to the aggregate returns.
This is a mistake. The whole army
vote of the city is embraced in the re
turns already made with Um exception
of that which may be polled by soldiers
from Philadelphia who are now away
from home.in camps or elsewhere. The
soldiers in the Chestnut Hill Hospital,
voted in the precincts in which it is 10
cated; and the same is the case with
those the Twenty-fourth and othe r
localities, and as the returns from all
these wards are now in the proper of
fice, the game is closed, so far as thi•
particular mode of swelling the vote is
concerned."
f" -- "Several weeks in the advance o
the assemblage of the Baltimore Conven
tion, the New York Independent, an Ab
olition paper, protested against the re
nomination or Mr. Lincoln in the follow
ing terms :
"The country cannot afford to risk
any second rate committee, chosen at
hap-hazard, to be its President and Cab
inet. It needs first class men, every one
a pure diamond. If Cromwell and Mil
ton themselves could return from their
graves to serve us with their own geni
us, they would not bring any ability su
perfluous for the occasion. When one
stops to think how the immediate future
of this country shuts fast in its bud the
whole world's hope—that by our victo
ry or defeat the •happiness of all man
kind is to be helped or hindered—so sol
emn and serious becomes the question
of the national leadership that sober
men may well ask themselves, even
three months In advance, "Who is suffi
cient for LAW things?"
Genuine Abelltionkm.
Mr. William Lloyd Garrison is one of
the most distinguished leaders of the A
bolition party. In fact he is one of the
fathers of that organization, and is treat
ed by Mr. Lincoln and other converts
who have made their fortunes out of his
doctrines, with the respect due to an
apostle, who fitted them out with their
lucky budget of political capital.
We present a specimen of one of the
most popular of these effusions, to show
the kind of eloquence in which the par
ty of the Uttion delight:
"I have said, and I say again, that in
proportion to the growth of disunionism
will be the growth of Republicanism. *
* * * * The Mum; fir a Lin. *
a covenant with death and a Union with
hell. * * * *
lAM FOR iTS OVERTHROW. * * *
Up with the flag of Duittstiolv, that we
may have a free and glorious Union of
free States."
No More Return on the Rome Vote.
After a summing up at Harrisburg,
the Shoddyites finding themselves
beaten on the home vote, when the
average vote of the counties was taken,
authorized a telegraphic announcement
that no more official votes would be re
ceived on the home votes until that of
the soldiSrs Was recorded. We have no
doubt the Democratic majority in
the State, but will not pefmit Republi
cans to claim the highest vote in a coun
ty „which is in their favor
,based as it
has been in some cases upon Dqroner or
Senator. Let us have the average vote
cast independent of ' the soldiers Tote.
No bets will be gii , en up okcigise 'until
this is decided. Ett •

iff - The intelligent reader will not
fail to appreciate the fact that since the
recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, the Republicans are cast
ing their eyes in the direction of Louisi
ana and Tennessee, as States which are
to cast aIRto in the coming Presiden
tial contest. The Buffalo Commercial
Idveitiser of Friday, which came to
hand yesterday, contains a table of the
Presidential vote which includes the two
States above named. In all similar to
bles heretofore published, so far as we
have observed, those States have been
omitted.
Democrats, do not fail to be as
sessed and pay your taxes in time. See
that ate (lu:tidied, and, above all,
vote. We know of many who call
themselves Democrats and have talked
very luudly heretofore, that shirked on
the day of the last election. Let this
not be repeated.
I The total vote in Indianapolis in
IS6O was 5,164; 14,1362 it was 5,498.
This year it is 9,337. Th,p gain from
'62 to '64 is about 3,Bs9—yet the Shod—
dyites exult over this as the legitimate
expression of the ballot box. It is not
very hard to carry elections by this pro
cess.
The citizens of the First Ward
will meet this evening at 7 o'clock in
the Central Club Hall, for the purpose
of organizing. All conservative men of
the Ward are requested to attend, as a
thorough organization is of the utmost
imgortance. _ _
Singular Disclosures in the Brook
lyn Navy Yard.
Mr. Jeremiah Burke, residing at 49
North Fiflh street, Brooklyn, a black
smith, working in the boiler maker's
department, in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, for ten months past, makes the
following statement:
On the 18th of October he, with fifty
four others working in that department,
was informed by Mr. Maxon, master
mechanic of the boiler maker's depart
ment that he was to be turned over to
the Naval Constructor's department.
The following morning, with his fellow
workmen, be appeared in the yard to be
mustered in his new department, but
was not mustered. A. committee was
appointed to wart upon Mr. Davidson,
Assistant Naval Constructor, to ascer
tain the reason for the non-muster. Mr.
Davidson, after a half hour's delay, call
ed into his office all the workmen, singly,
and propounded the following ques
tions:—
First--" Are you a Union man?" Lll
answered In the affirmative.
Second—"Do you belong to the Loyal
League?" To which two only of the
fifty-five answered that they were mem
bers.
Before propounding the third ques
tion, he stated that he had a letter from
the Secretary of the Navy, In which he
asserted that ony man who voted for
McClellan, or advocated his election,
was a traitor and disloyal to the Govern
ment, and could nut be employed on
any public works. •
Burke replied that he had served the
country two years in iron clads during
the present war, and the 'question of his
political preferment had never before
been a9ked; that he was not a traitor,
but a loyal man, and he should vote
for whom he pleased.
Mr. Davidson then replied that he
cauld dispense with his services, and he
was discharged froth the yard at once.
The two members of the Union
League were:the only ones who were re
stored to employment, and :are now at
work in the iron clad shop—/f. Y. Her •
ald.
The Hartford Preas in a fit of despair
over the late elections in Connecticut, re

"Connecticut is to be carried by work.

Our reade'rs'aratready aware that
Johnston, the military Governor
, of
Tennessee, and candidate for Vice Presi
dent, has ins'ituted a test oath, by which
he expects to carry thl , Stattf - for himself
and Lincoln. In to-morrowN Post we
will publish a correspondence of a
number of citizens of 'Tennessee, ad
dressed to the President, exposing
this, contemplated. outrage ; in the
meantime we direct- the readei's atten
tion to the following account of the
interview between the gentlemen
allu&led to and Mr. Lincoln: - Bee how
the usurper intends to manage his side
of the question, in order to elect him
self.
The Interview with Mr. Lincoln
I called upon the President to-day and
presented and read to him the
protest. Having concluded, Mr. Lin
coln responded:—
"May I inquire how long it took you
and the New York politicians to concoct
that paper?"
I replied it was "concocted" In Nash
ville, without communicating with any
but Tennesseeans. We communicated
with citizens outside of Nashville, but
not with New York 'politicians.
"I will answer," said Mr. Lincoln,
emphatically, "that I expect to (et the
friends of George B. McClellan manage
their side of this contest in their own way;
and I will manage my side of it my way.'
"May I ask an answer in writing," I
suggested. •
"Not now. Lay those pipers down
here. I will give no other tlnswer now.
I may or may not write something about
this matter hereafter. I understand
this. I know you intend to make a
point of this. But go ahead. You have
my answer."
Your answer, then, is that you ex
pect the friends of Gen. McClellan to
manage their side of the contest in their
own way; and you will manage your
side of it in your own way.
"Yes."
I then thanked the President for his
courtesy in giving us a hearing at all,
and took my leave.
Judge Mason, of this city, was pres
ent at the interview, to whom I refer In
regard to the correctness of this report.
Qn stepping outside of the door of the
Executive Mansion I immediately wrote
down the President's emphatic response
and submitted it to Judge Mason and
another gentleman, who happened to be
present, and they both pronounced it
accurate.
And now I have a word to say to the
people of the United States, who are or
ought to be the masters of Abraham Lin
coln. The people which I had the hon•
or to present to the President is not "the
concoction of New York politicians,"
however this might affect is merits. It
is the solemn voice of a once free and
proud people, protesting against their
own disfranchisement by the agent of
Abraham Lincoln. It is the voice of
these loyal men in Tennessee who have
borne the reproach of a people they still
loved, supporting the President in all
lawful measures to preserve the Union.
The reward of our loyalty is dis
franchisement. The cup of perjury is
commended to our lips because it
is knoWn that we will not touch its con
tents. Judge ye between the people of
Tennessee and Abraham Lincoln. It
may be meet that our solemn and re
spectful appeal should be thrown aside
with a contemptuous sneer. Look to it.
IC you, the people of the Northern
States, shall sustain this act of tyranny,
yo it own time will soon come. IC the
President of the United States may
'Manage his side of the contest" by set
ting aside the very letter of the Consti
tution and altering the election laws of
the States so as to disfranchise his oppo
nents, liberty is already dead.

The President's Remarks
The annexed correspondence speaks
for itself:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 1804
HoN. CHAS. llilisoiv—Dear Sir: I sub
mit to your inspection what I have writ
ten in reference to my interview with the
President to-day, apd will ask you to
state if you regard the same as an accu
rate report. Respectfully,
RAIN LELLYETT.‘"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.6, 1864.
JOHN LELLYETT, Esq.—Dear Sir: In
compliance with the request in your
note of this day, I have olny to say that
I was present at the interview referred
to. Your statement of what took place
is substantially correct, and on all mate
rial points I believe literally so.
Yours truly, GaAs. Meson.
Monatt, the alleged railway murder
er has indirectly been the cause of an
other death; for, according to the Lon
don Spectator, a lad, Job Bartlett, an ap
prentice to a printer, working in an
office in Ohancery Lane, hale lost his life
from the effects of a too minute pre-
Raphalite imagination actively engaged
in working out Muller's career to its
final scene. It appears that the boy's
mind had engaged itself less with Mul
ler's guilt than his assumed destination
to the gallows. He had endeavored to
form for himself a vivid impression of
the sensation of hanging, and though a
lad of cheerful disposition, had even al
bwed his intellectual enthusiasm to
carry him so far as to express a wish to
be hanged himself. He then instituted
a series of experiments with a rope at
tached to a ventilator in the office, and
his foot slipping on some glass inlaid
into the floor to light the room below,
he inadvertently fulfilled his own rash
wish.
A RssrLE for a coffin came off in
Brooklyn, New York, recently. Awo
marrwas told that her husband had been
killed it Fisher's Hill, and that his body
would be sent home. Straightway she
bought a coffin, and made arrangements
to wake and bury her unfortunate hus
band; but, receiving a letter from him
stating he was unhurt, changed her grief+
to joy, and at the suggestion of some
friends she put up the coffin at a raffle,
It was won by a young man, who, not
liking a gentleman much given to poli
tics in that ward, sent it to his 'house
preceded by a hand-organ playing "Hail
Columbia," followed by an immense
crowd. The coffin war deposited on the
gent's door-step. b good-sized riot was

Maximilian all thei French.
~„
f,T.Wextraerdinar j revelations of the
attitude which Maximilian is reported
to have assumed towards the French in
Mexico are suggestive otOnterestine
speculation. If the o lstateffientitt p the;

lievelhit Louis Nipoleditt*lll remit?
what he cannot but ':regard ai ingrati
tude in his protege. t• There is a studied
o!dness about Maximilian's new
r
policy which woul d 1 exasperate even a
more placable mai than he who has
made Maximilian what he is. - It is be
yond question that the Mexican Emper•
or wonittnever haydecided upon - this
course of estrangem nt unless he was
1
absolutely sure of h position..
What is the -meaning of this metamor
phose? Has the world been dreaming
illthis while? It appears •to us that
Maximilian has been as little understood
'iy the taciturn plottr of the Tuileries*
as the fotay-seventWproblem in Euclid
by an infant. OurF imperial neighbor*
has worn a mask, Which, at his own
convenience, he hits thrown off. He
appears now as an independent prince— i
a character much more consonant with
his high connection than when he was
presented to the woOd as a puppet of
France.
The Mexican enigma has a solution,
which, to our mind, Lis at once obvious
and easy. It is by no means a violent
assumption that, at the inception of the
Napoleonic idea in regard to Mexico,
the Archduke Maidmilian was fully
aware of French intentions towards him
self and matured histiwn plans of action
altogether independently of the implied
programme projected by Louis Napo
leon. .It is not within the bounds of
probability to suppcise that Maximilian
would have resigned his pretentions to
the Austrian throne,—a proud and splen
did position—to becUme the mere tool of
France. His manhood and the pride of
the Hapsburgs forbade the degrading ex.
change. The conditions which he affix
ed to the acceptanpe of the Mexican
crown exhibited a settled purpose to
make Mexican consent, rather than the
will of the French Emperor, the tenure
by which he held his throne.
Actuated by this ;controlling motive,
the young Emperoriarrived at his capi
tal. With an energy which betokened
a firm will, he set himself to work to as
certain the wants ot his people andrem
edy the political dislocations which had
been produced by 1. ng years of misgov
eniment. In the midst of this arduous
, labor, however, he found leisure to be
stow a watchful eve upon the move
ments of his Frencht. friend, who, it may
be safely said, was tiot idle in setting on
foot and slyly push i n g to consummation
certain comfortable projects, -commer
cialcand otherwise, . hich promised, not
only to make Mexicin commerce tribu
tary to French suptemat y, but would
place the Emperoil Maximilian bound
hand and foot at Louis Napoleon's foot
stool. Such a role 4s this was apart to
which the proud Austrian could not
stoop. His course vas at once taken,
and, we believe, witl be inflexibly ad
hered to. Assured that he can rally his
people against the French,-he has wisely
chosen his policy. ;This coldness to
wards his old allies he will find the most
certain guarantee o his power, and the
shortest path to enduring popularity.
The Roanoke—A plue to Her Fate.
The Journal of Coptmerm of Thursday
has the following rqative to the missing
strainer Roariokr
A gentleman who arrived at this port
some days ago ;:from Wilmington,
(whence he was exiled be the rebel au
thorities for his sttong Union senti
ments,) by way of Bermuda, brings in
telligence throwing light on the fate of
the missing Havana] steamer Roanoke.
About a week previous to his departure
from Wilmington, a rebel acquaintance
f his told him that he was about to
leave:for Havna via Bormuda, to take
charge of the steamer Roanoke. Our in
formant derived the impression; Without
being so told, that the Roanoke had
been s dd to the rebe, ls, and thought no
more of it. When lie arrived at Bermu
da he learned his :acquaintance, who
was going to take charge of the Roa
noke, had reached-that place on the
steamer Atlantic, forming one of a party
of thirty rebels heed by a naval officer
from Bichmond, and that they left for
Havana on a schooner.
It-was not until Itis arrival at New
York, and notices had appeared in the
papers that the Roanoke was overdue
,and foul play was suspected, that these
circumstances were recalled to his mem
ory. It is now belief, putting to
gether all his impressions upon the sub
ject, that the band of rebels who went to
Havana from Wilmington, took passage
on the Roanoke, and seized her when
she was out at sea.
The statements and conjectures of our
informant are conflrnoied by news brought
by the steamer Havana, which followed
the Roanoke, arriving here on Thursday,
the oth instant. A' passenger on that
steamer reported (his statement appear
ed in our issue of the 7th) that, at the
time the Roanoke sailed her Captain
(Drew) was notified; that ho had a num
ber of notorious rebtils among his thirty
five passengers. The captain merely
replied that he was prepared for any
emergency, little suspecting the true
character of a majority of the men on
board. If thirty of I t thirty-five were
secessionists—organ ed, armed and
under the leadership of -a daring naval'
officer—nothing coal be easier than for
them to rise, over wer all opposition,
and capture the vessel. All the proba
bilities point to this bxplanation of the
fate of the Roanoke.l She left ilavatta
on the 80th of Septeinber, and was due
here on the 2d'inst. 1
She is a schooner-rigged ;
vessel, rated
class 2, built in 1851 ',for the New York.
and Virginia Steandship Co., of 1171
tons, 220 feet long, 89 feet broad, 27 feet
of medium model, with 10 feet draft and
Vertical engines of 420 nominal horse
power. The Roane is isprobably better
suited fot a blockaded runner than for a
privateer. She wiltdoubtless be beard
from under that narne,or some other be
fore long.
