From -the time of, the firing on Fort
Sumpter, when the outraged feelings - 0/
pe *pie compelled the Democratienews
papom to unfurl the American flag, and
the 'Democratic party to assume just
enough of loytilty to-be a veil for treason,
the party up to this date has been com
pelledo: hide its purposes under a mask
of 'dissimulation and hypocrisy. At no
time during the rebellion was this mask .
thick enough to deceive intelligent men,
and many times was it inadvertently re
moved; so that all
,men beheld with hor
ror and loathing the hideous face of tree
son.,---that glowed balefully On the country
arid its cease. The result of the elections
showed that the majority of the Northern
people were not' deceived by professions
of lOYalty from a party that uniformly op
posed every effort of the government to
suppress, the rebellion ; whose members
in Congress voted against appropriations
to feedrilothe and pay the Union armies,
axid io'pmvide pensions for the support
of theclisahled and the widows and or
phans of'Union soldiers killed in the bat
tlei riednst treason.; whose kindest word
for a -Soldier fighting the battles of his
country; was " Lincoln's hireling," " roin 7
ions,". "pimps," or " butchers ;" whose
papers - and orators openly advocated the
assaishtation of the President long before
it wasaecomplished: whose'members had
a 'SBding,"se.ele of loyalty, from the States
of thellir North, where the preponderance
of Union sentiment compelled them to
pay seme decent respect to it, to- the
States of the border, where " conserve
tivei'lLynted'• the Democratic ticket And
acted as gtierrillas and spies fot the rebel
'armies. - t A party that rejoiced e,qally at
rebel:successes and Union reverses. A
party, in abort, that throghout the war
evinced all the animisof the most inveter
ate ;rebel, and lacked but one- thing to
maker them identical—courage. And this
was ,all in the name of loyalty. All
done -from an intense respect for the
constitution, a respect that could detect
every, violation of the constitution in the
effort to preserve it, but could see no wrong
in the infamous rebellion which was stri
ving to annihilate constitution and coun
try together at one fell blow.
Vet all this loyalty and respect for the
constitution we are now told win; all hy
pocrisy. The Spirit in an infamous arti
cle entitled "Dissolving views." published'
last Week, admits it. It was a needless
admission, the fact was long patent to
every lover of his country. All really boy
alnien knew when the President "Passed
avriy";and the nation mourned, -that the
part which was hypocrisy was the grief
assumed by the Democratic party. The
one thing which made the blood of true
men boil more than any other that occur
red during the war, was the brazen impu
dence of men, intruding themselves into
therneethigs of sympathy held by the
friends of the President after his death,
taking possession of the-organization and
offering resolutions which in their hearts
they did not endorse, and which every
man knew, corning from them -to be the
blackest hypocrisy. The dead President
to be eulogized by men who had every
where declared him to be a usurper and a
tyrant greater than Jeff Davis. But the
hypdcrisy deceived no man. -
Nor will the hypocrisy being practiced
now by the Democratic party long deceive.
Although they solemnly declared in their
NatiOnel Convention in 1864 that the war
was' a failure and the rebellion conse
quently a success, that the objects of - the
war were. Wrong and unjust, and that con
sequently every soldier who fought was
engaged in a bad cause. yet forsooth the
Democratic party at this time is the sol
diers' party. In their public utterances
the soldiers are no longer "pimps, hire
lings and butchers," but brave and gallant
men. In districts where the Democrats
have not the ghost of a chance soldiers
are duly put upon their tickets and all the
' capital possible made out of them. Where
there is no necessity for this the name of
no 'soldier appears. Their admiration
for President Jolurson has lately become
intense, but should he suddenly abandon
'what he now declares to be only au ex
-periment, his 'method of reconstruction.
their abandonment of him would be equal
ly sudden, and he would again be a mere
"boorish tailor.'"
All men who believe in the confiscation
of rebel property to pay the public debt,
who are opposed to the repudiation of the
National debt or the assumption of the
rebel one, and who believe that the pre
, nervation of the National credit is neces
sary to the prosperity and Perpetuity of
the godernment, and all ; soldiers who
would be honored hereafti n for their ser
vices in the' war
- Would s e
great rebel
and who se the - pensions pre
serVell. and increased to themselves and
the widows and °litmus of their dead com
rades, will see through the hypocrisy
which covers the• present policy of the
Democratic party, and will see to it that
that party and their rebel friends South
never again come into power permanent
ly: .
litvli , V;nucaN Remar.sctimv.NT.—The reduc
tion of the aggregate of our national debt twelve
and three-quarter mullions during September, says
the Vora Amtriran, was not a spasmodic effort,
but part of a regular policy begun by Mr. McCul
loch two months ago. During two successive
months-be bas succeeded in reducing materially
the total amount of interest on the debt, as will
be seen by the following statement:
July 31, 1865, interest, 5139,262,468 28
August 31,1865, " 138,031,628 24
September 30, 1865, " 137,529416 25
Here is a total reduction of $1,733,252 02 of in-
Serest in two months. This fact shows that Mfr.
itcCulloch is pursuing this policy of, reductha t
with ability and success us a regular system, and
that he proposes to continue the effort to reduce
our 'Obligations, by changing the various forms of
the debt. t Want xe harp to pay out of pocket is

readers to observe isthat•the Treasury Depart.
ment has now for:two months past been earnest
ly at work in the gigaritic enterprise of reducing
the burden of the public debt. It liter attacked
vigorously both interest and principal, and we
claim, for the Republican party the full credit of
this remarkable achievement within so brief a
time after the close of the war. ^lt is a proof
that in peace ours is the true party of economy.

DISINTERMENT OF SOLDIERS BODIES.—It is
announced from Washington that persons desiring
to obtain the body of aVeceased soldier must be
prepared to make an affidavit before a justice of
the peace or a uotary public to the effect that be
is duly authorized to receive said body; and at the
same time state the company and .regiment to
which he formerly belonged. All applications
should be made at the office of James M. Moore,
Assistant-Quartermaster, where a record is kept
of the deaths of a large portion of those who have
fallen during the war ; their, company, regiment
and rank. together with their conjugal condition,
residence of widow or relative, cause ?f death, and
exact locality of theirgraves. The affidavit mute
be lett at Captain Moore's office, where he will
receive an order. Mr exhuming the body. The
Government makes no charge for tproishing all
information relative to the interment of deceased
soldiers, but after it has granted the necessary
permission to exhume their bodies, relinquishes
all care and supervision, and the corpse must be
taken from the cemetery by private conveyance,
and prepared for shipuient to its destination by
the same means. It is essential that a body be so
prepared as to prevent any unpleasant odor, which
can be done by means of disinfecting powder, or
by sealing it in a patella or air-tight deodorizing
case.
THE CHRISTIAN COMMISRON.—The Sanitary
Commission has closed its labors in the field.—
The Christian Commission still continues its work.
Throughout Texas and the Mississippi Valley,
where there is still a field of labor, many of the
mottorn branch.. and flair JaLl NaniAtiNt have
turned over their stores and funds to the Chris
tian Commission. The latter is carrying on, in
Texas and the Mississippi valleyr the same work
that it did daiing the war. It still finds a wide
field of usefulness. In Texas and the west, on
the pinitis, ithait as much to do as ever. It has
still a large number of delegates in that distant
field. There is a large army in Texas. Appeals
have been sent from that State, representing that
the soldiers needed, as badly as ever did the Army
of the Potomac, the ministration of the Commis
sion. The delegates still continue to supply hos
pital stores and religious reading to the sick sol
diers of that army.

We are of the opinion that every man entitled
to the privilege of Noting should on all occasions
use that privilege. • For several years we have
had to go a great distance to our place of voting
—for there is no such thing known in Washing
ton—save the few petty city officials annually
voted fur. There are hundreds of persons living
there—born and raised here, aged from twenty-one
up to seventy yeari; who have yet a vote to cast
for either Presidential electors or anything else,
save these little municipal offices.
At this season of the year it is a pleasure to us
to travel from Washington to Pittsburg. We al
ways feel safe riding in the cars between these
points—we will soon feel safer yet, for we notic
ed that the double track of the Northern Central
Railroad • is being rapidly pushed forward and
will he completed at an early date. Then there
will he a double track the way from Washing
ton to Pittsburgh and this double track will be
pushed on Westward frpm here in order to se.
commodate the daily increase of business. The
Steubenville or Panhandle railroad is now coin

Boston, or Baltimore has nothing to be compared
to it in the way of depots. The new gram eleva
tor building, erected close by the depot, is also
nearly finished. It is the first thing of tba kind
ever erected here. The Monongahela House is
also being re-modeled and additions built to it
which will cost over $BO,OOO. This hotel, uglier

McDonald Croselm, is famous all over the coun
try fur the excellent accommodatitiis always en

glorious reception was.given him. Everybody ,
from the city and country was out. Not less than
100,000 persons were on the streets when the
General passed, and flags and bunting were die

gave the ladies a reception at City Hall, and in
some three hours over 10,000 ladies passed in re-

On the night of the 25th of last iligust, a ter
rible. cold-blooded murder was committed on
Boyd's Hill, in this'' eitir a , For nearly a whole
month the people were horror struck, for the
man WBl3 unknown and no true could be gleaned
of the murderers. In searelting a house for sto
len goals blood stained garments were ; found,
which at once revealed the murderers, • one of
whom mines confession. Benj. B. Marachall and
August Frecke are the names of the muniereri,
and Henry Freyman is the name of the murdered
man. It was done for money. The court and
jury made short work of Maracball, who was first
tried. The trial commenced yesterday wonting
and before ten o'clock in the evening Marechall
was convicted in the first degree. The trial of
Fricke will soon take place.
The trial of Mrs. Grinder, the poisoner, or
rather the Lucretia. Borgia of the present centu
ry, will soon be taken up. t There is one other
case of thin kind on record, which RSft in all
pointa.co-incidental with that of Ma - Grinder's.
Nancy Ferrer, now an inmate of the Hamilton
County Lunatic Asylum, Cincinnatti, Ohio, pois
oned patients while nursing them in the same
way. The number of her victim& , was whole
sale; she professed great sympathy ,and was ex
ceedingly kind and she used antimony. On her
trial which ttok pia& on the 18th of Febuary.
1852,Insanify was set up as a defense, but the
jury rendered a verdict of 'guilty" against her.
She was_sentenced to be executed on the 25th of
June, 1862. The ease was taken up on error to
the Supreme Court of Ohio, the verdict set aside,
and a new trial granted. On the 7th of Decem
ber, 1854 she was taken before the Probate Court
and a jury of twelie men, under an inquest of
lunacy, when the poisoning of a number of per
sons was admitted, and some of the eirenmstan
cw.a claimed as evidence of her insanity, and the
jury decided that she was insane. Thus by one
court and jury the evidence was considered suffi
cient to regard the prisoner as a sane, and there
fore responsible person, while another legal tri
bunal with the same testimony regatded • her in
sanity and irresponsibility as conclusive. From
what I hear it its' not at all doubtful that Mrs.
Grinder's case may take precisely,the same
course. The people entertain no doubt as to her
guilt, but there may be parties who will test the
question, and Oolong the case as was that of
Nancy Ferrer. 5, C.
HAS TILE MOON AN ATMOSPHERE AND
WATER, LIKE TILE EARTH?
To the Editors of the Franklin Repository
It is reasonable to suppose that the earth was
projected from the Sun, and the Moen from the
ewrtlC at the name time. (If thin to correct they
must be of the same materials.) At this period,
it would be full Moon when the combined attrire- 4
tion of the Sun and Earth would be exerted upon
the liquid mass of the Stoop, and change its form
in some degree. This change and the great at
enaction of the Earth at all itmes seem to be the
cause of the Harmonic Law. of Satellites, (one
rotation in one revolution, with same side to the
Earth,) as though the law of rotation was not suf
ficient to overcome these and the Moon's inertia,
as regard's her relative position with the earth
In time, by radiation, a crust would be formed
on the Moon, but it would be broken through at
full Moon, when the tide of lava from the so-called
circumference of disc, would approach the centre,
thus forming volcanoes, and receding with diode--
ished force, eject lava at the edge of the disc.
Thus for ages may its monthly tides back and
forth from its multitude of craters - have thrown
upon the Moon's surface immense quantities of
ashes, cinders and pumice: and at receding tides,
the superincumbent mass might break through
the weakened crust, presenting thus its cavernous,
jumbled and desolate condition.
This hollow state of this side of the Moon', arid
the light, porous matter heape 7 d upon it, would
explain the fact that the centre of the Moon's fig
ure and her centre of gravity are thirty-three
miles apart,* and therefore her atmosphere and
.crater could not be seen from the - earth, if they
'were in proportion to those of the Earths.
These would' find their level (wherever they
could-get) around the centre of gravity; therefore
if on our side they would be in those, miles below
the surface we see: fogs and pumice might pre
vent any reflection.
On the other hemisphere it might be similar to
the Earth's, except the atmosphere, which would
be surrounded and overtopped by the piled up
scoria and ashes. 'I hue, it might never be disco.
vered from the earth, only by its effect upon a star
when passing behind it. This has been seen—a
star as though clinging to the edge of the Moon.
On another occasion the star disappeared, then
.appeared and vauished.t
As regards radiation the Moon is quite well pro
tected, so that it 'may not be impossible for liquid
lava to be there at this time, as the ray system
seems to indicate it.
The straight lines forming an angle on the edge
of the disc are no doubt (what has been alleged)the
sinking down of the crust, or perhaps caverns.
Seen at right angles to their depths, those vast
caverns scattered over her disc would present
lines andangles if we were at the proper position
to observe them. •
Annular , and spiral nebula'. It is probable
that the unresolvahle of theTtbove description are
similar to Saturn, with light and dark rings, which
are. electrical; and when under rapid rotation
would appear annular, and greatly accellerated
rotation' would present a spiral nebula.

NOT hicizszEo To Kr THE Rop.—A South
ern officer writes hunforously to the Mobile Reg
ister, in' reply to the accusation of a Northern
newspaper that the Southern people - still praise
their own Generals and neglect to praise those
who have saved the RepubliL He says
.Nor do I sing Penns to the Union Generals for
saving the Republic, for at the time the thing
was done it struck me they saved the wrong one.
It may be that I ought to feel grateful to the
Generals who thrashed me and all my friends
w ithin an inch of our lives, but, in the language
of Mr. A. Ward, "I don't see it in those lamps."
We all admire the artistic beauty of the style in
which the Union - Generals put us through; we
make no attempt to suppress or disguise the fact
that the thing was done handsoMely in pointof
skill : but to denounce us as a set of ungrateful
sons of guns, because we don't expend our ink
and eloquence in constantly saying so, would be
called, in some countries, a .premediated attempt
to add insult to injury.
CULTIVATION OF TEA IN THE SouTH.—Some
years ago, some South Carolinians experimented
in that State with the tea plant, and for several
years their reports of its success led every one
who rend them to believe that the cultivation of
the tea plant in that region was likely to prove a
success. The long silence since upon that sub
ject forces a different conclusion. But we see
that a man who has been cultivating tea as an ex
periment since ltitiO, writes to the Savanah Her
ald that most of his plants grow firtely; that his
tea is of good quality, and the plants will doquite
as well in Georgia as in their native country.—
The plants require no culture after the third year.
If well taken care of by that time, they will be
large enough to commence the manufacturing of
tea liorn them. The yield to the acre is from
three to four hundred pounds, and the plants pro
duce good crops for eighteen or twenty years.—
The growth of tea is not affected by dry or wet
weather, or by storms, and insects will not molest
the plants.—Ledger.
THERE is a deplorable condition of affairs in
Morgan county, Kentucky,. and the adjoining
counties of Wolfe and Floyd are also a good deal
disturbed. Mr. Geardon, the United States Rev
enue Collector, was compelled to stop his work
by a guerrilla gang commanded by a man named
Williams, and a small force of troops sent to the
scene of trouble.) only succeeded in scattering the
guerrillas, who firea on the soldiers froinambush.
Mr. Geardon returned with the troopstollexing
ton, and it will be impossible for biui to prosecute
his duties in Morgan county without the protec
tion of a considerable body of soldiers, as Wil
liams has sworn that uo taxes shall be levied
there.

- A CHILD ASLEEP.
=I
The following lines were written while looking at my
little boy asleep in his cradle.—Bleinsid child! he has since
gone to dwell with the angels.
A child asleep! ,

Ere sin bad placed the !fain of guilt upon

And filled the world with sorrow and despair.
Thy lovely smile,.
Seems more of Heaven than Earth, as though to man
With all his sin, and sorrow, guilt and shame,
There was a something hift Surma and gait
That yen the hardest heart would feel its, sway

HOW happy is thy lot.' Then 'Firmest not
The many ills which in life's pathway lie.
Unconscious in thy innocence. But soon
The blast's will fiercely blow around - thy form
And elouds obscure thy sky, and tempests rage
Around thy' path. Bat happy still if thou
Shall seek a refuse 'neath'the mercy seal,
There sheltered thou shalt Secure be till all
The storms bo overpast, and calm return., .
Thus sheltered still
Thy foes may rage, and thou may'st calmly ensile
To see their Impotence. God is thy shield
And thy exceeding great reward. Not dark
And drear is life to him who hath the light
Of 11e - riven upon his soul Thou dark without,
And desolate and drear,—'tis light within
As on his journeys, and his pathway still
Doth shine with !leavenly lustre bright
And brighter still, e'en to the perfect day.

Thil ELECTION!
IS STATE REPORTED 011011
BY 8,000 TO 10.000 !
FRANKLIN COUNTY URI CLOSE!
UN Sheriff Certainly Elected
AASEMBLY 1111 DOUBT!
We have but partial returns from the State,
and they indicate the success of the Union State
ticket by from 8,000 to 12,000. Philadelphia
eves from 3,000 to 4,000; Allegheny 5,000; Lan
caster 4,500; Dauphin 1,200. Barks gives 5,000
Democratic, Cumberland 500, and scattering re
ports show uniform Democratic - losses in the hea
vy Democratic counties on the vote of last Octo
ber. Our Wit dispatch from Philadelphia, at
this morning, says that the State is regarded as
Union by from 8,000 to 12,000, but gives no de
tails. We do not-accept this report as conclu
sive, but we do not am hoW- the result can be
against us,
3,475 :1,947
At the time of going to press (2 4. M., this
morning) we have but twelve of the twenty-two
diitricts reported, and they - shosf - a Union gain
of TwEtrre-two on nit home vote for President
last year, when Gen. McClellan bad forty-sit ma
jority. This leaves twenty-four majority to laver.
come in the remaining districts, and we cannot
even guesses to the result. We hope for a fall
ing otr in Letterkenny, Largan and Concord, frOm
the crust* Democratic majorities of last year,
and a small Union gain in Metal, but ice can on
ly surmise. •
The local ticket runs rather ragged. McLel- .
lan gains considerably—probably forty votes—in
Chambersburg. Doebler also gains largely .here
and is pretty certainly elected Sheriff. Kuhn is
also elected Surveyor, but the rest of the ticket
is in-doubt.
We have no returns for Assembly excepting
from the North Ward, Loudon and St. Thomas,
and cannot calculate the result. Col. Stumbaugh
will probably lead Tressler from 50,t0 100 in the
county, and McLellan will lead Stambaugh pro
bably from 50 to 75. We have no returns from
Perry to indicate the vote of the county. Onr
Representatives are therefore in doubt.
Greenvillage is the banner district. She has
done most nobly, and had her efforts been imita
ted throughout the county, the entire Union tick
et would now be triumphantly elected.
Duncan gains a few votes for Senator and may
have a very small majority over M'Conangby in
the county. A dispatch from Gettysburg states
that the Union men have made clear gains, but
the county is pretty certainly Democratic-by 100
to 125, so that Duncan's election to the Senate is
assured.

A COMPREMENSIM scheme for benefitting the
South by supplying it.with :labor , has been devis
ed in the East; Governor Andrew, of Massachu
setts, being at the head of it. The project con
templates the establishment of a central office in
New York, where the owners of land in the slave
States can become acquainted with Northern pur
chasers, and thus a stream of' emigration be or
ganized which will fill certain sections of the South
with a population having Northern energy and
ideas. Branch offices Will be instituted in all the
former slave States. In this way it is hoped to
"reconstruct" -the Southern States socially as
well as politically." The Southern States them
selves are doing something of the same kind, and
to the same end: It is proposed in several' f
them to appoint a State Commissioner, with pow
er to ascertain and advertise all lands fur sale,
to open information offices, to distribute descrip
tive pamphlets, and to station emigration agents
in the chief ports of Europe. .
THE EXPERIENCE OF A TENNESSEE PARDON
SEEKER.—Bfi. John Hoppy, of the Neater&
Banner. gives the following humorous descrip
tion of his journey - lugs after a pardon :
Had a personal intetview with the Chief Mag
istrate, and asked him for a small pardon, if he
had any more left. Chief Magistrate wanted to
know what position I held in the rebel army.
The answer was faint, somewhat hesitating, and
a little shaky—l said : " Quartermaster." Chief
Magistrate chuckled and turned his head to con.
real a sardonic smile. "My ancient and venera
ble friend," he said, "if you think that lour de
partment of the rebellion endangered the Union
cause, your innocence is a pardon in itself."
THE CHOLERA.—The latest foreign mails re
ceived at the State Department bring no intelli
gence of the further spread of the cholera. The
U. S. Consul at Trieste, Austria, in a dispatch to
the Department of September' 13, says that the
reports in relation to the cholera from all ports is
his neighborhood are highly satisfactory; that
the health of Trieste just now is exceptionally
good, and that-the cold northerly wind has set is,
and removed all anxiety upon the score of epi
demic diseases. The energetic action of the
maritime authorities has been of such avdif that
no cases of cholera in Trieste have come to the
knowledge of the Consul.
Tim FESIANS.—The Fenian Brotherhood in
the United States numbers 350,000; in the Brit
ish Provinces,4s,ooo; in Ireland,2oo,ooo ; in En
gland, 65,000 ; of which 35,000 are in the city of
London. There are over 5000 soldiers belonging
to the fraternity in the British army. The month
ly expenses of the body amount to $60,000, and
it is said that a tax of WO per man on the Feni
an; in the United States is nearly made up, and
that the aggregate assessment will reach $5,000,-
000. Eight per cent: onds of the " Irish Repub
lic" are in course of being manufactured, and
will soon be in the market.
GEN GRANT was prodigal 'of his words at Sk
Pant, bfmn., on August 26. He made two speech
es. Th e fist, when he entered the town, that;
" Ladies and gentlemen : It is not my habit to
make speeches, but 1 thank you for this very cor
dial welcome which you have given me to St.
Paul. The second in response to a serenade,
thus:- a Gentlemen and firemen of St. Paul: I
am just about to leave, after a very pleasant vim*
to your city and State. lam much obliged to you
for the cordial welcome I have.received. Good
night."
Deana Roasnay.—The office of the Ada=
Ewe= Company, to this place, was entered o„
Saturday night by burglars. The safe containials
probably twenty dollars, and some unimportant
papers, was taken out through a back window
and conveyed some distance from town, where it
mu; forced open andielieved of its contents. The
robber., fortunately, obtained poor remuneration
for the risk, labor and trouble they were put to.
They are still it large.•••Gettlekurg
