BALTIMORE, October 10.—The Re publican State Convention met to-day and made the following nominations : Governor —Judge llugh L. Bond j At* torney General —11. H. Goldsborough of, Talbot j Comptroller—F. Schly, of Fred erick county. The following resolutions were adopt ed : Ist. That the Republican party in Ma ryland adhere firmly to the principles of manhood suffrage, universal and unifoua oducation, and payment of the natiooal debt, and pledge themselves to fight it out on this line. The second resolution advocates pub lic education for all children o( the State and the maintenance of the present school system of the Slate, with no chang es, except to incrt*so its usefulness and promote economy. The third resolution favors the repeal of the present militia law. A resolution was adopted,by sixty-four to seventeen, recommending the nomi-< nation of|Gen. Grant for the Presidency by the Republicans. The Democrats ere now firing one hundred guns on Federal Hill iu honor of tho result of the late election in I'enn and Ohio. TEW MESNE. an«nratloti ofGovrriior Brownlow. By Taltgraph to the (Mtt.burgh Qacotto NA»IIVILL*, October 10.—Governor Brownlow was inauguarated this morn ing. lie appeared in the House ol Rep resentatives and took the oath of office. The inaugural was read by his private secretary. In it he expresses grttitado for the honor of n second election by a larger majority than was ever given for Governor, but regards it as a triumph of the principles represented in his nomi nation rather than a personal victory. He paid the highest compliment to the Republican party, the only organization controlled by men up with the advanced ideas of tJ:e times, and guarding with zealou* eye the preservation of the Union Tennessee he spoke of as the harbinger of a new dispensation of political affairs in the South. In regard to Northern men settling in the Stato, he said, "I have witnessed with regret in different localities in the State a disposition to proscribe uorthcrn men and drive them from the country. I do not enter into this spirit, nor will I administer the Ex« ecutive branch of the State Government upon any such principle. If men are good enough to come to Tennessee and encounter the cold and he.it, in mud and rain, of our climate, and face rebel bul lets in putting down rebellion, they arc good enoe »to fill offices of honor and trust. \\ ut Northern capital, North ern enterj .J, &o. To get all this, I, for one, am quite willing to take a iair r-oportion of Northern politicans ; but yield to no man in my contempt for that class of Northern men who come among us, and for the sake of position and patronage abandon their honest sen 1 timcnts, and rebel sympathizers. The inaugural concluded as follows : Implor ing for your guidance the favor ol Al mighty God, which is never withheld from lawmakers whoso cause is just, shaped solely by tho conception. He gives them of right and duty. I con clude with a sentiment, which I trust may inspire all our action, "'1 he Union of the Republican party for the sake ol the Union," THE CITADEL CHARMED. The election does not change the na ture of things. Of some things in the political arona it does not change the po» «ition. The interests and the laws of the country are tho s*me that they were before it occurred. And unless thoro should bo treachery and usurpation at the head ot tho Executive Department of the (Jovernment, tho maintenance of those interests and the administration of those lairs will goon, without let or bin drance, as before. We refer particularly to the legalized process for tho restoration of tho seceded States to the Union. Should tho election cncouroge latent treachery to become more open and ac tive ; in other words, should it stimulate the President to obstruct the laws which he is bound by oath and duty to execnto, it will be a consequence such as ha? nev er yet followed au election, and an inter pretation such as has never been put upon the meaning of one. If the laws are unacceptable to the majority of the people, there is a proper method of an nulling them. Obstruction by fraud, vi olence or formal neglect, is a method which the people of this country have never yet approved. The* central plank in the Republican policy has been, and is now, the restora tion of the seceded States to the Union, t«D just and proper conditions. This has been impeded by the President, and the Democratic party have instigated and in dorsed his course in this respect. The laws of Congress have been indorsed by the Republican party. Until repealed or modified, their execution must con tinue to be tho duty of the President, whether he shall perform it or not. Tha election, therefore, docs not legitimately nffeot the prospects of that just and safe reconstruction which has been the aim of the Republican party. There is no al ternative *or evasion, but in a gross de reliction of official duty in the Executive- As to the future prospects of the great central questions, they must be deter mined by tbe voice of the people in fu ture elections. Next year, in the elec tion of a new Congress and a new Presi» dent, the opportunity will be legally pre sented for an expression of the people's will on the subject. But the next year we anticipate that expression in favor of the Republican doctrine of reconstruc tion, on the basis of fidelity to the Union. We are not at all despondent in conse quence of the defeat wc have had on questions foisted into this canvass, which are net connected with the main clianco. Last year we recollect after their seventh defeat, tbe Democrats rallied their hopes immediately after election. After glori ous victories for seven years we hope the Republican party liaß too much vitality tlpd too much spirit to give way to des pondency, and especially, as the present election does not decide, against them the issue which they have deemed and de clared so often to bo the principal one for which they have fought and voted, namely, freedom, the Union, equal rights aud a just representation on the basis of men, and not chattel property, in the Federal Government.— Ex.

FLORENOK, October 11.—The insur gents and invading parties in tho provin* ces of Yitrcbo have been concentrated at Florence, where they havo thrown up entrenchments Many other places iu Roman territory have also been occupied by the Garibaldiaus. Several regiments of Pontificial troops have been sent out to dislodge them, and the garrison within the walls of Rrome at present is very small. A strong Papal force has left Rome to prevent the junction ofMcnotti Garibaldi and parties und«r his command with the insurgentsat the fortress. The plan of the Garibaldian leaders seems to bo to draw the soldiers of the Pope away from Rrome, and theu give their friends in that city an opportunity to raise. NOTE FROM CARDINAL ANTO.NELLI.

NAPOLEON AND THE Cucßcn.—Na poleon is not ready to cut himself loose i'rotn the Roman Catholic Chureii, says a Paris lettor: The Church party is neccessary to rhe Fmperior, for after all it is the only true conservative party in France—the only one upon which he car positively rely. All his other supporters are liable to fly off in a tangent, hut the clerical party, so long as he holds true to them, will sustain him. And this is why the Kmpcror was ready to send an cxpe dition to crush out the rebellion in Rome. Wcro Napoleon really tho great man which some of his admiters claim him to be, with all the elements of dis content about htm, with the people cla moring for liberties which time and again have beeu promised but Dever granted them,—with a people the growing '.impor tance of whose commercial and indus trial interests lead them to wish for peace and quiet, while his uuccrwia, doubtful policy is constantly keeping them in fear of war—did he possess the greatness and courage and patriotism which his friends say he does, he would give France her so much desired internal liberties,and at the next general elections goto the people upon this issue saying to them, "If you don't want me with these, make some better arrangements for your Government." But his threat ened Roman erpedition proves that Na poleon has not sufficient faith yet in the people of France, and that he still feels the necessity of the clerical aid and in fluence to keep him in undisturbed power.

There is no longer a doubt that w» wers badly beaten everywhere last Tues< day. Sharswood is elected Supreme Judge in this State. In Ohio the Con stitutional Amendment is defeated by a heavy majority, and the democrats have a majority of the Legislature. That's election news enough for one day. No use hanging your undet lip. Get provis ions, and go aboard for Salt Itiver for one year, and then we'll see whai we will see. Perhaps the salubrions bresz es of that classic region will put a little vigor into the Republican party. No use tlaking about how it was dona or who did it; the thing is done. Wonder if that lightning struck any other place- Why was II ? The official returns of tho late election in this cou'-'- -*— clearly that a great many v -erylow estimate on the privilege ot tho elective franchise. To such an extent is this tho ease, that about 1000 voters, as compared with last fall's election,remained at home or absented themselves from the polls. The time that it would have taken for them to have gone to tho election must have been to thorn, very precious indeed. Some people are so throng that they never have timo to do what they ought to do. They are sppcaringly anxious that the" great principles which they ads voeate should succeed, but they Dcglect tho very duty that is absolutely necossa ry to insuro success. Wheu the dec tions are over and the opposition have either succeeded in electing their men or in making a decided increase in their vote in compaiiion with our own, fiese stay-at-home individuals have the gratis Gcation of knowing that their neglect contributed in a very large degree to tho success of their opponents. If, as these individuals some times say, it were true that it would bo a pecuniary loss to them, there might b» some show of excuse lor them ; but it must bo a very rare case indeed iu which this is true. In our county no voter need lose moro than three hours at most in order to deposit his ballot, and it muse be a poor cause that would not justify any man who is entitled to vote, to leave his work or business for that length of time. This of course applies to those who are employed in ther district where they are entitled to vote. Carelessness and in difference on the part of Republicans in regard to the exercise of tho elective franchise in the present situation of pub lic affairs are little less than criminal on the part of those who, unnecessarily ab sent themselves from the polls. In the fall elections of 1866, when Gen. Geary was elected Governor of the State, the aggregate vote of Butler county was 0605 at the late election it was 5601, a falling off of 1004 ; of thin number fully 600 arc Republicans ; from this it will bo soen that had the aggregate vote of the late election been equal to the vote of last fall our Republican majority in the coun ty would havo been equal to our major ty at that time. The decreased Republican majority in this county is therefore, directly attributable to the fact that many Re publicans had business elsewhere than at the polls. While our majority is less than it should be by at lea«t 20°, there is nothing in it encouraging to the apposi tion. We have simply stated facts as figures show them, and when the proper time arrives, with the standard bearer as indicated by the signs of the times, we will more than roll up our old fashioned majority, in vindication of the great principles upon which our free govern ment is to rest, IVnii*y I vnnlii Election. Official returns from sixty three coun ties, and estimated majorities from Cle*r- Geld, Forest and Sullivan give Sharswood 889 majority. The official majority will perhaps not be known until the votes arc counted by the Secretary of the Com monwealth in November. It is asserted and confidently believed that at lea«t two thousand fraudulent votes were polled ic Philadelphia ou last Thursday, by means of counterfeit tax receipts or by tax reseipts given to ille gal voters. In order that frauds may be prevented in the future, the Pennsylva nia Legislature will be called upon to en act a thorough and sympathetic registry law. The law should bo general in its character. I'ENNA. LEGISLATURE.

OHIO. Gen. Hays the Republican candidate for Governor is elected by about 3.000 majority ; both Houses of the Legisla ture arc the opposition a U. S. Senator. IOWA. This State lias gone Republican, by nearly thirty thousand. Editorial Clipping^. THE Tribune, in pronouuuing some timely words of wurning to the Republi can party, says: The Republican party need not depend for its victories on the persistent nrsbe huvior of its enemies. 11 is strong enough to rule by its own merits independently of their follies and crimes. Rut to this end it must first: Complete promptly the Reconstruction of the Southern States on a basis of blended justice and magnan imity ; Second : Systematically educate and euiightcu the people. The necessity and urgency of closing up the work of reconstruction on the broad and safe ba sis of Universal Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage is now so clear that we will not dwell upon it. Events are moro cogent than arguments. We will ndt quarrel with the Tribune about its plan for reeonstructing the South, if it will come with us in support of Intelligence as the basis of Suffrage, when wo come to have the matter over> hauled in the North. The ballot in the hands of every loyal man became a nc' cessity in the South, not only for its own sake, but to save the country from the domination of tho unreconstructed and ever rebellious portion of the community there—a necessity whereof negro suffrage was born. The necessity in the North for an intelligent ballot is scarcely less apparent. We aro sure the Tribune re alizes this. While thcacfore we rein force loyalty with the ballot iu the South, let us improve every opportunity to make intelligence and fitness tho basis of voting here. What says the Tribune?—l'ilti. Commercial. Tho Democrats have a right to re joice ; Rut if they oro wiso they will not delude themselves with the idea that they have won a victory in this State wheather SHARSWOOD has fivo or ten thousand, or none at all, the fact will re. main that he has received a lest number of voter than CLYMER tfidlatt full. The simple and only truth is, no Rapublican has changed to the Democrats—a few thousand iu the State did no< vote, and the result is as nearly as possible a draw game. There is nothing iu tho canvass or the result that presen's a hope for the State by the Democrats, or should cause a single moment's depression on the part of the pirt of the Republican*. From the elections on Tuesday last, certain things can be predicted, and one of them is that Pennsylvania, next fall, will give ji.7 the Republican J'rctiilential elector> an overxchctmimj majority. Tho present result clears the way for such a result then. If the Democrats are wiso they will perceive this, and moderate thoir expectations. As many a time during the war was it the cause, this defeat will insure a victory on the next trial. The reasons why this will be so are obvious. [From the New York Triboo*.] " But every voter who does not read is a pcril a ; and the multiplicity of such vo ters subjects tho results of our elections too much ts the control of accident. * * Republicanism lives by Intelligence ; it dies io the murky, stifling atmosphere of Ignorance.' Tho Tribune U progressing bravely, and there is reason to expect that it will, before long, be with us iu favor of Suf frage based on Intelligence, without re gatd to raco or color—tho only safo rule of equality. Ignorance, operating thro' the ballot box, is the great enemy that free government has to faar. Intelli gence is its only sure bulwark. In set tling the question of suffrage, on which shall wo build ; What solution of the question so just, so right, so safe or en during as Intelligence 112 Recent events have reinforced this principle with the syiu[iathies of hundreds ane thousands of the ir.oot intelligent men in the land. If the axioms of the Ti ibune are not mere words used for effect, then it mutt be for Suffrage based on Intelligence.— Pill*. Commercial, WF. anticipate for the Republican | party a more perfect unity of policy and action, in the next canvass, than it has had in the one just past. We have not been unaware of the existence, or of the unfortunate influence, of some transient and incidental hindrances ts success in the Hate campaign. These will be either eliminated or held under control io the future, that the energies of the party may rally upon the purely patriotic ground which properly belongs to them. Individual aberrations must not be per mitted to lessen the party strength. It may even be wiser to disown them, as to a limited extent haß been done, and to drop relations to those who fasten to them than to jeopardise SHCCCSS in an impor tant canvass, by tacitly bearing the bur den of an erroneous policy, or a doubtful eentiment. In unity there is trength* Tiir. New York Timet thinks that the Republicans of Pennsylvania had no oc casion for being "dumbfounded with the result of Tuesday's election." Our con temporary supposes a state of things that does not exist. There is nothing in the result to " dumfound" anybody, without it be the eopperheads, who confidently expected ro carry the State by as many thousands SB their majority is hundreds. The Republicans of Pennsylvania were never in better spirits, and go into the Presidential canvass with confidence.— The disabilities which the last Legislas turc inflicted were enough to overthrow any party. A long score of debts and grievances, created by it, have been dischar god, and will no longer plague us. Instructed as to the popular will, sud warned concerning itself, the Republican party will go straight forward in tho path which leads to victory.— J'itti. Com. THE election being now over, and both parties somewhat astouishod at the results, wise men and some not so wise are ex tracting from it the lessons which they conceive it to teach. Among the latter class, wc reckon President Johusun, who is said to have discovered that the elec tion is an indorsement of hii policy. His represntative in this city and county must have given hi_m a rose colored ac count of the indorsement here, to have justified the President's inference. The Democrats are drawing their lesson from tho election page, and the Republicans are proficients in learning theirs, which had they been a little more observant they might have learned us easily, and with perhaps more profit before eleciton. Another year will be required to determ ine who has beeu most benefitted by the present lesson. THE New York Democrats are taking ground for Gov . Seymour for President and claim that by their management of tho late State Convention they have ma terially advanced his prospects. Con siduring that no military man of sufficient proportions wi II consent to be the can didate of that party, it is highly proba ble that they will take a civilian. Sey mour is one of no mean order, lie was on the side ot tho rebels from the begin ning to tho end of the war, and acted as instigator of the New York riots in the middle. II is claims, therefore, are of the first order, and his friends have a right to consider him the coming min. IT was arranged that Mr. Johnson should niakea a speech on the elections, Wednesday night. Hut tho Democrats put their foot on it aud the serenade whioh had been planned did not comu off. The cross purposes of tho Demo crats and Mr. Johnson are visible even to the naked eye. The first time begets an opportunity to make a speech he will claim the result of the elections as an indorsement of him and his "policy j" whereas the Democrats putin the claim that it was achieved indepandent of him; in spite of bim, in fact. Mr. Johnson harbors the idea that he may yet bo a Presidential candidate, and will not be glow to appropriate to himself the ontire capital contained in the elections, to that end. These little oouplications quashed the serenade, and Mr. Johdson must get his glorification speech in on some other occasion. THE Pittsburgh Pout reverberates the malicious accusation that Col. Jordan, Secretary of State, cannot be trusted to canvass the returns of the election. The attempt to direct suspicion against that State officer could have proceeded only from conscious guilt and the fear of dis covery. In Philadelphia the Democrats have perpetrated frauds whereon pioba bly hangs the result. Had tbey the pow er to cover up these frauds they would succeed. Unfortunately, Colonel Jordan cannot be relied on for such a service, nor will he be deferred from doing his whole duty in the premises by the utop thief cry which the Age and the I'ott have raised cgainst him. So says the New York Commercial.— Wc credit the Democrats with possession of the sagacity to perceive that the re cent elections indicate nothing permanent in their favor. To m*n of intelligence they bear no such interpretation. To the Republicans the elections are instructive —not destructive, and they will make the Republicans stronger by showing them what begets weakness.

Grant has ordered three light batteries to Fort .Mc llonry, Baltimore—a precuntion render ed neocesary by tho half-developed purpo ses of tho unreconstructed rebel element there. The fact is a significant one. SOME of the Democratic papers look as though they had gone iota the Shanghai and Braliaina-poortra trade, such*an army of poultry dj they exhibit on the election news. i&-The people of Ohio havo this year had tho question ol negro suffrage befo'c them, and on a vote, have given it a decided negative. This decisiou is not inconsistent with their support of the reconstruction law embracing negro suff rage in tho States lately iu rebellion. Tho case* are entirely different. In the South, it was not on the question of c*lor that they were rdmittcd to suffrage, but one of loyalty—the only basis oa which civil governmenment can stand. A few loyal white* have been fonnd in the South—fow compared with the rebel el ement—but not enough to sustaiu them selves against the overwhelming odds, and not enough to constitute the State Governments respectably republican in form. In this anomalous condition, the enfranchisement of the entire loyal peo ple, without distinction of color, was a necessity. As this' manifestly just and wi.«e measure embraced tho large propor tion of the negro race, it falls into the same category as their emancipation and their eulistment as soldiers—to save tho Repuhlio from detriment. The question decided in Ohio is altogether d.fferent . and rojts on entirely different grounds. | Tha decision of it cannot, therefore, be interpreted as npposed to the reconstruc tion policy of Congress, and there is no i inconsistency in voting against the Ohio , Amendment and at the same time sup ' porting the llepublioan policy of rocon j gtrMilOD.— l'itltburgh Commercial.

ANDERSON, — Dear Sir: 1 be lieve that your irost amiable, familiar spirit with the name of dubious import, hus been guilty rf mixing up my last letter in a terrible manner. I Raid that the Monroe Brothers had raised 2,00q bushels of wheat. He made it 200. 1 said Mr. Hannah had an orchard of I,COO apple trees, tic. ll* made it 6,000. I said we wanted more men. He said mora new. And now, kind imp, won't you try | to do better in future ? | We have had excellent crops this year. 1 1 have heard of one field or wheat which produced forty two bushels to the acre; | and as to the fruit, we have not much yet, but the quality is unsurpassed. Dr. ; Walker sont luc some pears and plum*, a few days ago, the most delicious that I have ever tasted, and tho largest I havs ever seen. What grape vines are now here, are loaded with fine largo grapes. Apples are scarce yet, buc are beginning to boar. Merries of all kinds abound.— We want a good Nursory hero. Wo sup posed that thero would be one started this summer, but I believe it is given up.— Wo are sending out to Rochester for fruit trees. And talking of trees, we have most noblo timber hero. I cut a Bass wood the other day, two and a half foct» in diameter at the stump, which, at *ev enty five feet, would have squared twelvo inches, and was perfectly straight and < sound. I measured another which was seventeen feet in circumference. Most of our timber is Sugar»Maple, Kim, Beech 1 and Basswood. There is also consider** bio I'ine and Hemlock, of good quality, and occasionally a growth of Cedar er Tamarack. W« have no Hickory. Up ' in Lcclenaw county, the Democrat* tried to find Hickory far a polo, last Fall, but couldn't get auy; aud 80 they took a Slip pery Kim. Wo havo v*ry littl* Oak.— There are some fine Hed-oaks near Trav« erne City. If we could get our wood to market, it would be valuable. At present it is only worth what it cost* to cat it. Fences are made of whole trees—some times four and five feet in diameter. It 1 is easier to fall them along the line than to make rails. But I must stop for this timo. In my next I will try to tell you about our Coun ty Fair which comes of next moath. - Yours, &e., W. J. YOU.NO. Horrible Crime. CANTON, U., October 13,1867. —Thi» afternoon while the congregation w*ro assembling in the German Reformed Church, a most desperate and deadly as sault was made by Ferdinand Hoffman upon the person of his divorced wife, Caroline Yost. Approaching her in tho choir, he demanded a few moments con* versation, which being denied ho asked her to kiss him, and while in the act cf doing so, he stabbed her with a butcher knife three times in the breast and eight times in the abdomen and on the limbs. The scence was terrible and heartrend ing, and the screams of the women and the shout* of tho men as the assassin fled, from the scene of his assault, were ex citing in the extreme. Tho murderer,, with the butcher knife still in his hand, streaming with the blood of hi* victim,, attempted to reach the railroad, pursued by a maddened and excited crowd, but was arrested in hi* flight by a stalirart countryman who compelled him to sur render. The excitement at this point was intense, and the general demand was that the monster should be lynched on the spot. Prudent counsel* prevailed and he was marohed to jail. 'At one point theagoniaed mother of tbeunfortu« nate young woman confronted the crowd,, and with a large siicd stick beat the prisoner over the head, while at the urn* time he was beateu indiscriminately by parties in the crowd,and another demand, was made for his immediate hanging, lid was, however, safely lodged in jail. The excitement is still very greut, and numerous threats were made to take him from jail. It is doubtful whether the lady can live till morning. Hoffman is a desperate character, and was released | but ten days from State prison. His only regret i* that he did lot kill her at qpce.
