FOR SUPREME JCDfiB,
Hon. Henry W. "Williams,
or Pitts Br RG.
The Bemedy With the People.
The Gettysburg Shir and Sentinel with
touch force remarks that while Constitu
tional reform should not be lost sight of,
the people should continually bear in mind
the imDortance of "electing to places of
trust men who will hold themselves above
and beyond all corrupt influences, indirect
or. otherwise." For most of the evils so
much complained of, a remedy rests in the
hands of the people themselves. The evils
have arisen from permitting dishonest and
incompetent men to obtain possession of
the offices from high to low. Our Legisla
ture has become corrupt because men wil
ling to eell themselves have so generally
been chosen. There is no Constitutional
remedy that will reach this evil The peo
ple are the source of the evil and the reme
dy, both perhaps it would be more proper
to Bay, the politicians are the ' cause of the
evil and the remedy rests solely with the
people. This ia an every day, perfectly
palpable fact. Conventions fall into the
hands of small politicians in the service of
aspirants. These aspirants generally are
the. architects of the ruin that has been
worked to our reputation at home and
abroad. There is nothing to which it is
more important the people should become
aroused than this. It is time they took
possession of their conventions and presen
ted nominees to support whom would bring
the blush to the cheek of no man.
The advocates of Judge Sharswood tell us
that hels an able jurist and a christian gen
tleman. -. We do not doubt it nay concede
it alL Aye, he may rival Blackstone in a
Avkat of th?CT htne"d":cisionr our
J udges effect the interests of the nation,
probity and ability alone will not answer.
The views and decisions of Judge Shars
wood are antagonistic to the best interests
of the State and nation. He is not the man
for the Supreme bench,
Besides the differences of opinion existing
between the President and Secretary Stan
ton, there is likewise a coolness on the part
' of the Secretary of the Treasury toward his
chief, not occasioned, of course, by politics,
but by personal differences, one of which is
in respect to the removal of Collector Kel
logg, of New Orleans. Whether Mr. M'CuI-
loch, like Stanton, is to be 'forced to resign'
has not yet appeared.
The party that clapped its hands in exul
tation at Judge Shars wood's decision against
the national currency asks the people to el
evate him to place and power. The people
rsk to be excused! The man who stabbed
the nation when it was weak and well nigh
exhausted cannot have the support of any
man that loves his country.

ever lived, refused to appoint George Shars

vcu. uiui persists in protesting against
the removal of Sheridan, on the ground that
it will be lmurious to the nnblin wrulpo nA

in the commanders of the military districts.
There is in the War Department a confes
sion of Atzerot, in which he gives an ac
count of an interview with Booth on the day
of the assassination, when Booth told him
that Surratt had arrived in Washington.
Ex-Gov. David R. Porter died at Harris-
burg oo August 6th, in the 791 h year ofchia

What They Think of It. ;
The letter of the notorious Robert
Toombs, which he issued somr weeks ago,
much in the toue and humor of a bear with
a very s"re hesid, has not had lcuch effect
even amoug those who formerly were sway
ed by the eminent conspirator. The impu
dence of the renegade rebel does not, of
course, strike them as it does us, but they
have discernment enough tosee tbeim policy
of its proposition, and they, therefore, with
a prudence which it utterly lacks, decline
to give it either approval or sympathy.
The proposed party and its objects, and
especially under -such a leader, they wisely
repudiate. The following from a Georgia
paper expresses probably the common sen
timent, concerning the letter aud its broken
down authority :
"As we interpret it, it indicates that an
effort is to be made to organize a party in
support of the right of secession. We
thought the South luid abandoned that
doctrine as a practical idea in American
politics. While neither war nor majorities
can change men's convictions, jet when
there were two interpretations of the con
stitution, and the supporters of both went to
war to enforce them, the doctrine of the
prevailing party mut be taken as establish
ed. Even if our abstract reflections led us
to a different conclusion, we should feel
hound to submit to the ultimate arbiter.
Such a tremendous war ought to settle some
thing. Having invoked the God of battles,
we feel boundby his decision. Further, the
purpose which this letter discloses is very
ill-timed. The people of the North are
divided unon the terms of reinstating the
South. They are united, with trifling ex
ceptions, in condemning secession. It is
our nolicv to offer everv inducement for
liberal terms. The appearance of a party
anion? us. under such a leader, maintaining
a doctrine which they almost all abhor, trill
give a vast increase or strength to those
who favor the harshest terms."
The President and Mrs. Surratt.
Mr. Johnson denies that when he signed
the sentence of Mrs. Surratt and directed
her execution, he knew thit members of
the commission had united in recommen
ding her to mercy. He declares that he
knew nothing of such a recommendation
until two weeks afterward. This has elicit
ed from Judge Pierepont another statement,
which is in these words: '
I want no misunderstanding "about that.
I do not intend there shall be any. That is
part of the original record which I here
produced. It is in the handwriting of one
of the members of that Court, to wit:
General Ekin. The original of that is now
in his posession, and in the handwriting of
lion. John A., iiingham. When counsel
called for that record, I sent on the after
noou of that day to Judge Advocate Gener
al Holt, in whose posession the records are.
VIa kwnili nitd Viia nvn Vi r. rl
and told me with his own voice, m presence
of the other gentlemen, that identical paper,
then apart of the record, was before the
President at the time on the subject. That
IS my authority. Subseauent to this, hav
ing presented it here, the Judge Advocate
treneral called to receive it back, and reit
erated in the presence of other gentlemen
the same thing. This is my knowledge,
and that is my authority.
This statement of Judge Pierpent raises
a direet question of veracity between the
President and Judge Holt, but it, is well
understood by all in official circles that the
whole thing is,on the part of the Presidents
deliberate and malicious misrepresentation.
Kentucky. It is estimated that not less
than twenty thousand men who had been
rebel soldiers voted at the Kentucky elec
tions last week. The usual amount ot kill
ing of loyal men and negroes is recorded
along with the Democratic triumph of for
ty thousand. The following from a Lexing
ton letter reads as a matter of course :
"We have a good deal of talk about calling
Radical Convention to meet iu Frankfort
some time in September, at which the Rad
ical party will be reorganized, come out
straight for negro suffrage, the emialintinn
of the laws,and reconstruction of the State
by Congresss. it is said the neirrocs will

utuiuu Bcnia win uuiaa convention or tneir
own a Mack-and-tan Convention, withmit
distinction of color. which will ask
ior black suffrage, and reconstruction may
be looked for." '
Kentucky is one of the fittest States for
reconstruction in the list, and with reference
to her it is but "a question of time."
The Philadelphia Lcdaer in an article re
viewing the nnaneial e.ireer nf Xir AInrfnn

On the 12th, President Johnson issued
an order removing Stanton from his office
as Secretary of War, and appointing Gen.
Grant as Acting Secretary.
. A rumor is current that the President in
tends to dismiss Secretaries Seward and
MeCulloch, and Postmaster General Ran
dall, unless they resign soon.
Mr. Adams, United States Minister at
London, is spoken of as the successor of
Mr. Seward.,
Moses Taylor, of New York, is mention
ed as likely to succeed Mr. M'Culloch.
Geii. Steadman, it is said, has been ten
dered the position of Mr. Stanton, and that
he is en route for Washington.
The probable dismissal of the Cabinet of
ficers, by the President, originated in a dis
agreement as to the policy of the dismissal
of Secretary Stanton.
It is alleged that Secretary Stanton had
just received information of a scheme for
the arming of military organizations in the
late Rebel States, with a view of making a
new aasault upon the government. This is
given as the reason for Mr. Stanton wishing
to retain his position, with a view of sup
pressing the conspiracy at once.
The rebel lawyers- in Washington city,
held a meeting to protest against the dis
missal of Bradley, Surratt's counsel, from
the U. S. Court, bjT J udge Fisher. Truly,
things have come to a pretty pass, when
unrepentant rebels deign to dictate to a loy
al Judge whom he must permit to practice
in his Court
Such is the tenor of the news received by
last night's mail, which would indicate that
there was trouble ahead. What the result
of all this "muss" will be, it is difficult to
fercsae. Time will tell.
"A Sign of the Times." Mr. Thurlow
Weed, after a two weeks' fishing tour with
Secretary Seward, thus speaks of the Dem
ocrats : "The progress of reconstruction in
the South, however tardy, has developed
one siguiScant political fact, which is, that
the Rebellion has proved fatal to the Dem
ocratic party. Southern Democracy and
Slavery occupy a common grave. Political
organizations will 'take any form but that'
The early admonition of Gov. Orr on this
question was even more significant than was
at first supposed. . Hateful as 'Black Re
publicanism' was to the South before the
war, it is quite as comely in their eyes now
as Democracy- So marked is the aversion
of Southern Democrats to their former
Northern allies, that the fact cannot be ig
nored. "

The serious charge brought by the Dem
ocratic press against Judge. Williams that
he is not a native of the State, suggest the
case of the eloquent S. S. Prentiss.- of
Mississippi. In his warm contest for Con
gress in that State, his opponent stated that
the people of Mississippi were under obliga
tions to vote for him because he was a na
tive of Mississippi, while Prentiss was
not. In reply to this, Prentiss said the
fact stated by his opponent placed them
under greater obligations to him than to his
opponent, for, said he, "after arriving at
maturity I voluntarily came to this State,
while my opponent came under circumstan
ces over which ha had no control"
The Surratt Jury. The jury in the
Surratt case have been discharged, not be
ing able to agree. Fpur were for convicting
the criminal, and eight for acquittal
Nothing else could be expected, as at least
two thirds of the white resident population
of Washington cityheartily sympathi.se in
the act which produced the death of Mr.
Lincoln. It is doubtful if a jury can be got
there that will arrive at a conclusion differ
ent i rem that reached by the one just dis
charged: and hence every effort to convict
the prisoner will fail, no matter if proven
guilty. :
The business men of the South, who are
anxious to restore the prosperity of that re
gion, declare that the course of the Presi
dent in agitating the policy of removing
Sheridan has cost it as much in injury to
trade as one year of the rebellion cost. An

because he was mainly instrumental in caus
ing Congress to meet in summer session,and
thus thwarted some pet and dangerous
schemes which he had information the
President had intended to consummate in
case of a long adjournment.
Not only has the President been proved
entirely mistaken in his assertion that he
never saw the" recommendation to mercy in
Mrs. Surratt's case, but the very words he
used after reading it, have transpired, and
were these : "We must be protected from
female assassins as well as male assassins "
Governor Brownlow received C44 maiori-
ty in Knoxville over Eth ridge, where he re
sides. In Greene, President J ohnson's own
county, Brownlow's majority was 738, and
90 in the town of Greeneville, the Presi
dent's home. . '

The court house of Fairfax county as then
over the market house, and immediately
fronting Gadsby's tavern. The entrance in
to it was by a flight of crazy steps on the
outside. The election was progressing, sev
eral thousands of persons in thecourt house

I was standing on Gadsby's steps, when the
rather or his Country drove up, and imme
diately approached the court house, ana
when within a yard or two of them, I saw
eight or ten good looking men, from differ
ent directs, certainly without the least con
cert, spring simultaneously and place them
selves in positions to uphold and support
the steps should they tall in the. General
ascent of them. I was immediately at his
back, and in that position entered the court
room followed in his wake, through a dense
crowd, to the polls heard him vote return
ed with him to the outward crowd heard
him cheered by more than two thousand
persons as he entered his carriage, and saw
his departure. 1 here were five or six can
didates cn the bench sitting, and as the Gen
approached them, they arose in a body and
bowed smilingly ; and, the salutation having
been returned very gracefully, the Genera!
immediately cast his eyes towards the reg
istry or the polls, when Col. Densald,
think it was, said: 'Well, General, how do
yon vcte-r lhe General looked at the can
didates and said : 'Gentlemen, I vote for
measures, not for men :' and turning to th
recording table, audibly pronounced his vote
saw it entered made a graceful bow and
retired. -
That plain, heroic magnitude of mind
which distinguished ' Washington above a
other men of his time, was evident in a
his actions. There is a vast amount of prac
ticai wisdom in the remark, Gentlemen
vote for measures, not for men," which
thoe who are called to vote upon the great
issues now agitating the country would do
well to consider.
Measures are the grand end to be looked
-1-1 .
at in selecting a candidate. A man may
posess great ability, but u that ability be
directed in a wrong channel, it only mcreas
es the possessor's power for mischief. The
Democratic party have placed on their tick
et as candidate for the Supreme Bench the
name of a man whose abilities have never
been questioned by either part', with the
hope -that his personal popularity may atone
for the criminal platform upon which he
stands. But this clap-trap mode of pro
ceeding avails tnem nothing, lhe record
of Judge Sharswood is the record of the
Democratic party. He is identified with
every plank of its platform. He is pledged
to every article ot its creed. His infamous
legal tender decisions are fresh in the mind
of the people, and his utterances in regard
to the construction of our Government are
but the echo of those of Judge Taney
himself. He is a member of the States
Rights school, of full standing, and believes
with Jeremiah lilack, that "the Govern
nient has no power to coerce a State," even
though the State may be engaged in open,
defiant rebellion. Even conceding all the
superiority which the Democrats claim for
their candidate, we could not support Judge
csnarswood -with such a record clinging to
him. In the words of the founder of our
republic," we vots'for measures, not for
men. But such a concession is not neces
sary. e have presented to the neonle
candidate the eoual in everv nersonal attri
bute of his distinguished opponent, while
his political record is all that could be de
sired full, complete and satisfactory: There
can oe no personal issue in this contest.

The Valuation of property, under the in

in favorablellocalities have, no donht added

' The Position of the Secretary of War.
The following . brief but expressive cor
respondence passed between the President
of the United States and the Secretary of
V ar on the 5th inst, :
the president's note.
Executive Mansion, Washington,
August, 5. To Edwin M, Stanton, Secre
tary of War : Sir:. Grave public consid
erations constrain me to request your resig
nation as Secretary of War.
Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States.
' ; secretary stanton's answer.
War Department, Washington, Au
gust 6. To His Excellency, Andrew John
sou, President of the United States: SlR:
Your note informing me that grave public
considerations constrain you to request my
resignation as Secretary of War has been
received. In answer, I have to state that
grave public considerations constrain me to
continue in the office of Secretary of War
until the next meeting of Congress.
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
Edwin M. Stanton has unquestionably
been of great-use to the country during the
time.he has been the Head of the War De
partment. His great administrative quali
ties, his inflexible adherence to justice in
the discharge of what he conceived to be his
duty, his amazing fortitude in the face of
disaster, his unmeasured zeal, his great skill
in forming combinations to ensure the suc
cess of projects decided upon are all known
to the country, and now constitute a large
portion of what we call the glory of the war.
But Edwin M. Stanton will be remembered
longest and most gratefully by all truly loyal
men, for having written the letter we print
above, in answer to the insolent insult
couched in the single sentence composing
Andrew Johnson's note asking him to retire
from the War Department It is a request
as full of mischief as was the demand of the
rebels when they seceded from the Union,
to be let alone; and when Secretary Stanton
declined to accede to it, he showed not only
a grave regard for the interests of the coun
try, but a ja-;t appreciation of the wants of
the public service. The tenure of office law
is not only on the side of Mr. Stanton, le
galizing his hold on the War Department,
but' the tenure of the Government itself,
the peace of the country, tranquility in all
its sections and credit abroad, require that
he shall remain where he is until the assem
bling of Congress. We repeat, therefore,
that for the boldness of writing his reply to
the President's insolent request, for the un
selfishness of determining to brave the in
sults of a corrupt Chief Magistrate, and for
his courage to stand by the honor and true
authority of the Government, Edwin M.
Stanton will be remembered and honored
while loyal men have a country to love. -
Mr. Stanton is the admitted obstacle to
reinstatement of rebels to power. He is
the only man in the Cabinet who opposed
the President's vetoes of measures passed
in Congress by a constitutional two-thirds
vote. These simple facts make the Secre
tary of War the only loyal representative
in the Executive branch of the Government
ere ne to resign, tne commanders now
contending with traitors in the South would
at once have a fire opened on their rear.
Sheridan and Sickles, without Stanton in
the War Department, would be flanked
registration in the South would be male
farce the ballot-box would be polluted, and
the lives of Union men made more unsafe
than they were when Jeff. Davis ruled as
the head of the Confederacy. It is the cre
ation of such a condition of affairs that Mr.
Stanton seeks to avoid by refusing to retire
from the ar Department until the meet
ing of Congress. The safety of the country
unquestionably rests on the resolution of the
Secretary of War to be firm in his determi
nation. . We do not doubt, his fortitude;
He cannot be intimidated, lie knows his
duty and will perform it Never had a loy
al people more reason to rejoice in the pos
session of a faithful public servant, than
have the true men of the country to con
gratulate themselves on the attitude of Ed
win M. Stanton. Telegraph.
Those who demanded that the VW-Pr-
