Tho recont order of S¢crotary Ronesox, re- ducing one-half the pay of naval officers awaiting orders, has creatoed considerable dis- satisfaction, and prominent counsel has been rotained by the gentlemen interested to ar- guo tho question beforo tho Attornoy-Gen- aral, District-Attorney Baxas, who is now in ‘Washington, is credited with oxpressing the opinion that the whisky-oxiles on the North Bido whoso sentences exceed the minimum punishmont inflicted will have tho mame equnlized—thres months' imprisonment and «ano thousand dollars fine. TUnited States Senntor Camenon, of Wis. consin, nddressed his home friends in Lo~ Crossa on Saturday evening., His spoech was largely confined to tho Mississippi election outrages of lnst full. His intimate knowledge of all tho facts in the case—for he was one of o Committso appolated by the Senats to mako an investigation—onabled him to pre- gent in o clear light n complete history of the gtrocitios perpetrated by the Tildenites upon the negroes and white Ropublicana in that Btate. ‘Wo surronder space this morning to a ‘full xeport of the groat oratorical effort of Mr, E. A. Sronns, at Froeport, IlL, on Friday oven- ing. It is o scarching and scathing analysis of tho Liollow and fraudulent clalms of the Democratio party for d restoration to power, from which it was doposed sixtecn yenrs ago in order that the nation might ba saved. ‘Wo commend its perusal to all Republicans, a4 it will nerve them for tho work they have to do; and all Democrats, who are not buried in the mire of pnriy fenlty and are capablo of accapting the logie of n irresisti- blo argument, can read it with profit, e —————— Gen. Oanvry, Commander of the post at Standing Rock Agency, hns roccived a mes. sago from “AvruTarrp Finoer"” and two other Chiofs, in which, after reciting their claims to the land and their right to Lunt game, they state that their people aro tired of fighting, and want the soldiers to stop fightiug them, “SrrriNe Bowy," they say, is of like opinion, * ond has expressed the same sentimonts, Tho commaunication is evidently n spacious plen, on which the Indians hope to roturn to the Agencies and draw rations during the winter. Our Sioux City special says that tho Indinns at the various agencies will bo disarmed to- morrow, Berious trouble is expected. e —— The advices from Turkoy are important. The Porte Las issued orders for nu imme- dinta cessation of hostilities, with the hopo that the Servian Governmont would do like- wise. ‘The Turkish Governmont has notified tho Great Powers thnt it will redress the grievances of tho Christians within the do- minions of the Ewmpire. B8ir Srarronp Nonrucorr, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequor, naddressed o large meeting in Edinburg oo Saturday, and de. fendod tho policy of the English Govern. ment on the same grounds as Earl Denoy did in his spocch to the London workingmon, Tho English Foroign Ofilco has inatructed its sgents in Bosnin and Herzegovina to urge Aho insurgents to conse hostilitics. — Prof, 8wiNa yesterdsy morning preached to n large congregation on * The Influence of Knowledge on Religions Experience.” After roferring to the now almost forgotten tenctsof the cast-iron theologians, he laid down the proposition that only ho whoso soul is fed with knowlodge can bo called Man, An increased knowledge is evident in the sppearanco of school-houses all over the land. ‘The conception of tho gentlor God' and Christ caused the Christinn world to bo horror-stricken at tho atrocities perpetrat- ed by the Turks, though onco tha . Chiristian Church gloried in parallel infamies, Learning checks fanaticism in religion; and in the presenco of knowledgo thera is Joss of the tumultuons in worship, The camp- meoting has been greatly modified. In. - oreased culture and scholarship bhave made tho various Christian sects more tolerant, and with tho progross of knowledge the bond of brotherhood will grow strongor. Tho broadly-cducated man will have no chamber of his hoart closed, but everything will make ktself thorein folt, from tho singing of the’ bird to tho boundless love of Chriat, — Tho Ohicagoproduco markets wereless act ive Baturday, and most of them were casior, with fine weather, Mess pork closod 300 per brl lower, at $16,274@16,80 for Octo- berand $14.72} seller tho yoar.

Donsnenter, who, it will be re~ membered, fignred at 8t. Louls as tho es. pocial represantative’of Troex and Reform, Ho wns renominated to give character to the ticket, and as, in his own proper person, a guarantea of the roform that was promised, nud on tho strength of which, with the aid of Jonx Monnssey, and Boss Kenry, and Tammany, the Empire State is to be carried for Truoey. Ho Lina done more talking for reform than Sunsot Cox and Boss Kerry togother, 1Ife hns arrogated to himself al- most n monopoly of tha political virtues of which thero are nons, nccording to him, ont- sido tho party of Tiuoex and Reform,—tho which hns prompted an explanation of lis rocord, tho resalts of which will bo found in another column. His eminont respocta- bility, it will be seen, serves to cloak tho most shameless mileage-steals while ho was United States Distriot-Attorney for the ‘Western District of New York. As such, ho was entitled to mileago for travel from Buf- falo to varions points in the State to nttend tho oxamination of.cases before United States Commissioners. From tho vouchers on file in the Trensury Department at Wash- ington it appears that ho so arranged the soiting of theso cases that, when one was put down for trinl at Albany, another would be set for trinl at Troy, soven miles distant, the noxt day. The mileage on the first caso hav- ing been oharged to nnd from Buffalo, for traveling tho soven tiles botween Albany and Troy Mr. Donsaemea charged snd col- lected mileage to and from Buffalo. Tho like mileage-steals were in similar fashion effectod in other parts of tho Stato, and so onormons finally were his bills that tho United States Judge refused to certify thom, ond My, Dorsnemier prudontly pressed the matter no furthor, thongh he might have ap- pealed from the Judge's ruling refusing to cortify tho nccounts. The whole is an inter- cating illustration of what quality of * Re- form" is promised by tho triumph of Trr~ ey and Reform. DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS ON THE TREASURY. Tho Domocrats in the Southern States hav- ing become satisfled that undor the * Missis. sippi plan" Tuoey will get the voto of the solid South, and believing that this will se- cure the election of the Domocratic Presi- dent and a Democrntic Government general- 1y, have begun to prepare for the good time. In tho Birmingham (Ala.) Tron Age we find the following sdvertisoment, which, in case of TiuoEn's eloction, will becoma goneral at the Sonth : e ity oF b € o (g poors er lasuio und denomination, can find & purchaser at fair prices by inquiring at this onice, But beside the oxpected redemption of Con- federato money and bonds, the great hopo of the South is in the matter of claims. The South oxpects to bie compensated for all tho losses in the War. Every mon who lost a dollar by the War, no matter by which army, or on which side ho was engaged, proposcs to ask for $10. In tho Stato of Missouri thero are claimsof this kind against the United States amounting to nearly soven millions of dollars by tho ex-Rebols of the back countics. These claims bave all been filed with tho Btate Government, annd the OConfedorate Legislaturo has certified to their justice, The Stato of Missouri proposes, when thero is a change of Administration, to prosont these claims in tho nome of the ** Sovereign Btate,” and demand payment therofor, Tho Btate has placed its great seal uwpon tho claims, and their validity is not to bo qnes. tioned. The Democrais in Arkansas, Toxas, Tenncssoe, Maryland, the Carolinas, Ala. bama, Georgis, Louisiaua, Florida, and Kentucky, will all have their cloims for com- pensation, Theso claima are oll of ex-Con. foderatos, who demand that they be put on an oquality with the people of the Northern 8tates, who havo been paid for their contri- butions to the War and for their property takon. It must be remembored that the wholo Bouthern peoplo was engaged in the War, and that private property was token by the Confoderates without hesitation, as it was only to bo paid for after the independence of the Confddern~ oy was acknowledgod. TFor overy dollar of nctunl damage done to private property in tho Confedernto States by the Union army tho Confoderates wrought infury or took property to the amount of a thousand dol- lars. Tho claims by theso peoplo bave all been collected aund grossly oxaggerated. Thousands ofgthem have been presented to Congress. Numerous bills have been pro. sonted providing for their payment in bulk, +or their oxamination by State Courts, and payment on judicial allowance. Not one of theso clalms has the sanction of any law kuown among civilized nations. Tho claim- anta were all citizens of the States at war, and were, individually and collectively, nctivo participants in tho War; and tho damages allegad to have been sustained by them woro tho,work, not of tho armics of the United Statos, but of the enemy—the army of the Confedorato States. Last wintor our Wash. ington correspondent copled tha claim pro- santed to Congress by o professed Widow Wataaveronn, who alloged that on the death of her father she inherited, as his solo child, all bis property, sho being then n moiden, named Anxte Woirrsmone, residing in White- fleld County, Georgin.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1876, 0 445 +8840,405 to Cougress by tables, 825, gress from Indiana, It also contained a cor- tilleato of Maj.-Gon. Jasus B, BIEEDMAN, 6 Demooratio politician and editor in Toledo, 0., and prospealiva Becrotary of War undor Titoxx, This is but ona of 100,000 claima oqually fictitious, cqually fraudulent on their faco, and equally large in their proportions, Thase claims will not fall short in the aggro- gate of $3,000,000,000. If the claimants have hind the courage to present theso de- mands to a Republican Congress, what will they do whon the Demoerncy are in control of the Government, and when nlt tho ne- connling officers of tha Goverument will bo Democrats and many of them ox-Confed- orates? If Tinpen bo elected, then the Democratio party will have complote control over all departments of the (ovornment. They can by a single act authorize and direct tho allowancs of this clnes of claims by tha Court of Claima; they can authorizo and dircet their cxamination and pnymont by tha Secretary of War or tho Socretary of the Troasary, The plan, however, will be the purely Democratio States-Right ono, of having onch State in its sovercign capnoity, ncting for its own poople, present fn diplomatic form a demnnd for a specific sum to be paid to that State, to be distributed among its patriotic citizens who suffered, directly or indirectly,-in person or proporty, pecuniary loss or damage because of tho prosccution of war upon such Bov- ereign Stato by the United States while ex- arcising contralized power under n perverted construction of tho Constitution. ‘The Democratio party, if it attain power, can only retain it by the consent of the ex-Con- federates. 'They will constituto two.thirds of the Domoerats in cach House, and can dictate and demand what shall bothe policy of legislation and what the policy of the Ad- ministration. The Bouth wants monoy; it has theso claims, If Troxn be elected, it can coerco the party in power to the allow- ancoand payment of these clnims. Therepre- sentatives of theso people, waiting in their poverty for theso $2,000,000,000, will not daro to abandon their sufforing constituents. Holding the power, they will not fnil to ox- erciso it, and in the most liberal manner, This is one of the reformatory mensures to which the Democratio party invites public at- tention, Tho allowance and payment of these claims i3 one of those proparatory mensuros of finnuce which Trpex insists shall be at- tonded to beforo any day can bo intelligently fixed for the resumption of specie-payments, — ey DISGRACEFUL PARTYISM. 0Old Mr. Srorey does not keop his young meon well in hand. -Ho allows them so much roin that thoy frequently pull in different directions. Ono of them occasionally gets n chance to make a gasping domonstration of the doctrine of party independence, and he took occasion on Snturday to defengl tho ‘whole concern from the chargo of servilo and groveling portyism, which has been the chief characteristio of the Chicago Z'imes over sinco ‘I'moEN was nominated. We fancy this will not decoive anybody. A goneral deninl will scarcoly avail against palpable and repeated facts, Wo aro not averse, howover, to point- ing ont some of the evidences of tho Times' truckling policy ns a TiLbeN organ, which that journal wildly colls for. 1. The Zimes, nlong with several other Democratic organs, was cnargetio in its op- position to Trupex beforo ho was nominated by the Bourbon and Qonfoderate Democracy ot 8t. Louis, It denounced him ns n Robel sympathizor, a betrayer of private trusts, o railroad wrocker, an nssocinto of T'wxen's, and o sham reformer. It also froely prodicted his overwholming defeat if nominated. What waos true of T'mpeN bofore bhis nomination was equally truo afterwards, and indeod the proofs of his personal unfitness have been accumulating over since ho has been a candi- date. Yot the Zimes hns found him to be tho purest and ablest man since ho was nom. innted by the Democrats, a thorough and disreputablo cuss before. Could thera bo mors direct evidence than thiy that it is actuntod by the same Dlind aud pitiable de- votion to party which prompted it to stand by the Rebels and the fire-in.tho-rear Cop- pothieads during the War? Could Prof. Sua- NEn himself find n more siriking instanco thau this to illustrate the abjoct coutrol ex- orcised over a partisan by what ho calls “'a form, o motaphor, n nonontity, a thing with. out a moral conscionce"? 2, When the strong ovidence of TrLnen's having sworn falsoly and defrauded the Government out of a part of his income-lax was mado publio, the Z¥mes rushed to his dofonse with more ardor than discrotion, and did not wait for any explanation on his part. TFinding overy theory of defonso exceodingly nusatisfactory, it then adopted the old party policy of inventing the same kind of charges agninst Gov. Haves, tho opposition condi- dato, It manufactured theso ocut of wholo cloth. Dut Gov. Haves, unlike Gov, Tir~ DEN, was nble to make a prompt exhibit of his proporty roturns and produce tho testi- mony of Democratio oflicinla that he had paid his Stato taxes on a larger nmount than his personalty would fetch nt publio sale. But this did not please the partisan vigar ‘of the ZYmes. It proceeded all tho samo to call him o perjurer, and in this oxcceded the =zeal of such Trnex organs as tho Now York World, Now York Sun, ote., that have recoguized the basclossnoss and boseness of the charges, and ignored thom, How would this commend itself to tho theory of Prof, Sumnen about partylsm? 8. Nobody knows better than the Chicago Times that the most nlarming danger to be approhended from o Dowmocratio success in tho presont national election is the control of the party caucus by tho Confedorates, who will b In the majority. No intolligent man insldo or outside the Zimes offico doubts for o moment that, onco the Confederates have the power, they will pass lnws for tho allow- ance of indemnification for Rebel losses dur. ing tho War, for which, indecd, bills wore introduced at the last session of Congress, Yet the Z%nies has persistontly concealed this danger from its readors, and oven sought to persuade them that Mr, Tupen, who de- pends entirely upon the Confedorates, will ba moro of o Ropublican than Democrat if elected. Tho reason of this deception is plain enough. Yhe Zlimes, during the War, 'was tho friend of the Rebols; it was the ac- knowledged organ of the Copperheads at the North;. it was in full sympathy with the - peace resolution adopted by tho Convention of 1864, aud it would contemplate with con- siderablo satisfaction a reassertion of the old Btato Bovereignty heresy, and its practical realization in thercimbursement to the South of the losses of the Rcbellion, Houce its present silence on that point. How does this strike Prof, Busnzz as a samplo of party- ism? 4. 'Tbo T'imes ia conspiouously the organ of tho Democratio frroconailables, Whon Honaox Greersy was run by the Demoerata four years ngo, the Zimes would have noth- ing to do with him. He had always been o Republican, It demnnded a simon-puro Tourbon of the old sohool, Jt Lina found one in TiLueN, and heneo supports him by lies and contradiotions of its pravious donuncin. tion of him personnlly, Tho Z¥mes also sup- ported the Pexoreton plan for repudiation eight yonrs ago, and the acknowledged fact that the Democrats and Greenbackers aro pulling togetlior may bo anothier roason for its roturning to its vomit, Thus Prof. Buanen may remark how surely the old dis- onse of partyism breaks ont throngh the thin skin of independenco. 'Tho real troublo with tho T¥mes is that it I losing such Ropublican renders ns it secured under the false protonso of political inde- pendence, and henco these tears, ‘WHERE I8 GOV, TILDEN'S DEFENSE 1 Some days ago, after sovernl weeks of whalting, the country was informed that Gov. TioEN had mado up his mind that he could 1o longer afford to keop silent s against tho strong prima facie evidenco of his having comumitted perjury and dgfrauded the Gov- ernment out of n part of his income tax, and that he wonld mnke an explanation that would sct tho charga completely at rest. A day or two subgequently an explanation was put ont ns tho probable outline of his de- fonse. 'This was ovidently with the purposo of testing its strength without moking Gov. T1LoEN personnlly rosponsible for it. DBut that explanation, along with others that had beon volunteered by tho Chicngo 7%mes and other Democratic newspapers, was fonud not to cover the caso at all, and to leava Gov. TiLpeN inn worse plight than beforo, 80 far as his income tax for the years subse- quent to 1863 were concerned. Thus Gov. TILpEN hns agnin rolapsed into silence, and thera aro no more hints of n atatemont from bim. Wo shall regret it very much if he shall make no effort to explain tho case, Bo long a8 tho strong ovidencoe stands agninst bim, his silence will bon confession of his inability to dispose of the caso, tho nation will have to suffer tho disgraco of a Presi- dontinl candidato charged with criminal practices, and the public morality will be strained by tho test of his .party standing fast by him in spite of his not meoting these charges. The Now York World recently nndortook o labored dofense of Gov. Tiuoew, thongh it oxpressed o proforenco that he shonld come to the roscue with a statoment of his own, But the World’s defenso merely followed the direction proviously indicated by othier apol- ogists, and scemed to think that the only issne concorned the incomo tax of 1862, The reason that year was solectod is because Gov. TiLpeN, having sworn to an incomo of only $7,118 for that year, swore subsequent- 1y that ho had received $20,000 from a singlo client In that year. When the auswer was made that Gov. Truoen roturned his *¢ onrn- ings”™ and not his actual receipta for that yeor, it wn3 shown that his professional oarnings for 1862 were all of 860,000, and that tho carnings from otlier business and investments swelled the amount to 100,000, thus leaving him worse off than beforo. But thero wore soven or eight years during which Gov, Titpex violated tho law by making no roturns whatover, During that timo ho is accredited in cortain quartors with having paid on an’ averaga incomo of $15,000 por yoar, though it is also said that ha did not poy atall. Now the wholo torm must be included in any auswer that is ex. pected to be satisfactory and final. Concern- ing tho caso the Now York Zimes bluntly re- itorntes this statoment: *The Times hns chnrged and stands ready to prova that on the threo occasions on which Mr. Tirpey mada a Sworn return of his incomo he com- mitted delitforato perjury, On the seven oc. cnsions when he refused to mnke a return and allowod the Assessor to tax him, the Times charges that ho was guilty of swin- dling tho Governmont.” This is very plain and honest langunge, and Gov. Triupex should carry out the throat of his homo or- gan, and suo tho Times for defamation of charactor, if ho is guiltless, TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL, Our rendors will remember that some days ago an editorial articlo appeared in the Balti- more Gazetts of & very violent and inflamma- tory clinracter, undor the caption, * To Your Tents, O Isracl,” and that tho article called upon the poople of Baltimore in particular and of the whole South in general to organ. izo bands of Mlinute-Men and call out the wmilitia, with tho purpose of resisting tho United States Marshals and deterring the Govornment troops from protecting voters at the polla whon ealled upon by the civil authorities. Tho articlo was of sucha se- ditious and rebellious charncter that it pro- voked stern commont from the Republican papers all over tho North, The fecling of indignation was so intense that the Demo- cratio lenders beeame alarmed at its rash and promaturo publication, and aevidently brought o prossure to bear upon the editor of tho Quzetts to disclaim it, This Lo has finally douo, two or threo weoks after its publica~ tion, by the stale old excuse that it was writ- ten by somo *“vile scribbler” whila the re- sponsible editor wns away, and that tho fact that it should not Liave been published *is clearly Indicatod by the unmistekable courso of this journal over sinco tho publication in question, which wns greatly regretted by yours,” ate, ‘I'his ia & vory old and very small way of crawling out of a dilemma. Perhaps it is truo, however, in which case we presumo the editor regrots not only that the nrticle was published, but also that it hns alrondy had tho effect intonded by ‘‘the vilo scribblor.” Under its inspiration, o mob of 'Pildenitos in Baltimoro rocently attacked and broke up a Ropublican meeting .in that city, Tinen mobs {n various parts of the South whore tho articlo was copiod with signs of tacit np- proval have been encouraged to ncts of vio- lence. The moro hot-headod editors of the Bouth, influoncod by tho appearance of such an articlo so far North, and evidently om. boldened by the supposition that Northern Damocrats approved it, have burst all bounds of prudence aud filled their papers with in. flammatory appeals to the mob to resist the authority of the Government, Among these papers is tho Potersburg (Va.) Indez-Appeal, which on tho 11th inst. printed an article as’ seditious ns that of tho Gaztte, and making tho clroular of Judgo Tarr the pretext for throats of murdor aud assassination. A fow oxtracts will show tho spirit of the article, Tho Indes-Appeal says : Our enmity onght to Lo aud fs, not agalnst the unliafipy and deluded blacks, but upon tho yrotche ed miscreauts, with white faces aud blazk Learts, 'who have sown tho sceds of discord In tho Soath, allenated the two races that once Nved {n harmony and peace, sud wrecked the prosperity that had been praverblal before it tompted thelr ovil Juat. Theso are tho misslousrics of mlacklef, a¢ whose black bosoins the peopls of the South should strike U any dlsorder la forced upon them at the polls in November. + . o, , If that unfortuuate emer- gency ahall arise on election.day, it can be feferrod 10 nothing unless to the maliclons machlnations of the carpet-bag ring of officcholders, who are try- ing to organize dlsorder in the South, by teronging and exasperating innocent people, an & means of continming Indefinitely thelr own refgn of dishon. esty and corrnption. In it not stmple justice that these Aeads should pay the penalty of any tlolence that may be invoked through thelr oun wicked counsels and conduct? . . . . ‘There I8 one thing which might as well o clearly and falrly un- dorstood, and that Is that the Southern people mean Lo govern the Southern States, tohatever may be the {eaue of the Presidential election. It would take another such army as was disbanded at Washing- ton in the apring of 1806 to replace the negro and the carpet-dagger on lop, 1whers they twers placed by the infamous acts of reconstruction. « + o . Buch being tho case, the Aadit of punishing the scoundrels who alander our people and inflame (he minds of the negroes against (el best friends mighl as icell be bequn al an early ar at a tate day and It could not begln better than by puniahing them for any turbulenco and violence which they may sce Ot to Inclto on clection-day, The only meaning that can be attached to theso extracts Is the determination to oppose Mer. Tarr's instructions by the uso of vio- lenco, if any attempt is made to carry thom out.

It is by no means improbable that this hot-headed editor has aleo put his foot info it, and that the TiLpEN managers, cursing his rashness and imprudence, will bring a pressure to bear to induce him also to disavow this arti- clo, in which ease wo shall shortly loarn that, while the responsible, editor of tho Inder- Appeal was nbsent, some **vilo scribbler” published this article, *ns is clenrly indi. cated by tho unmistakable conrse of this journalever since the publication in question, which was greatly regrotted by yours,” ote. Tho lesson which the Northern people will read, if they aro wiso, from theso articles in the Baltimoro Gazstte and Potersburg Jnder- Appeal is, that these bLot-heads have only erred in boing too. hasty. The only regrot which Northern Democrats feel is that the publication was premature. These Bouthern Confederates, aided and encouraged by the Northern Copperhoads, have only insisted upon entering in and taking possossion of the promised land before the time. They evi- dently bave not yot learned the tomper of the Northern pooplo. ‘They count upon it as cortain that Tiuoey is to.be clocted and open tho gates of . their Edon to them, and cannot ropress their exultation. Every Domoceratic paper in the South is already bristling with throats aud intimidations of Republicans, and proclaiming tho disfran- chisemont of the negro and the nul- lification of the Fiftoonth Amondmont. Thoy do. not for an instant con- tomplato the contingency that when they proceed to enter their promised land they mny find tho Republican party with its flam. ing sword before the gates, The disavowal of the Baltimore Gazells is & more sham, If it woro honest, it would cense its opposition to the Tarr circular, It is too Inte for ox- cuses made for mere policy.

'T'o loave such a MaNTILINT of etiquette, who had accopted the nomination exprossly to oblige Mr. TrLoen, without such customary notification and obliged to hunt up his nomination through the vulgar news- popors, was the hoight-of discourtesy, If it hod been the ordinary Democrat, accus- tomed to wado about in all sorts of political puddles, and to accept an office even if it were handed him on tho end of a dung.fork, thera would have been no need of form, but Mr. Apaus is o gold-fish smong the Domo- cratio suckers and sculping, The worst feat- ure of it all is that Mr, Apaus is a distin. guished stranger nmong the ‘T'peEN crowd, What ke may bo politically we know mnot, Ho has beon a Freo-Boiler, an Old-Line ‘Whig, s War Demoorat, a Ropublican, a Re- former, an Indopendent, and so forth, but ho has nover before trainod with Copper- hoads, seccessionists, Tammany and State- Bovereignty men. For this vory reason ho should not hiavo been left out in the cold to roceive tho nows of his nomination. An elegant coteric of gontlomen in swallow- tails and rufled-shirt-fronts should have gone to Quincy on a speoial train of high. toned oars, drawn by o gilt-edged locomo- tive, driven by n dignified engineer of the old school, aud should have tondered him the nomination upon o silver sal- ver, engraved upon heavy cresm P~ por, Lot pressed. It wna- shabby, rude, uncivil treatment, not only of Mr, Apius himself, but of tho whole Apams family, which, like the Old South GChurch, Plymouth Rock, tho codfish over the Spenk- er's chair, and the grasshoppor.on Fanenil Hall, has boen accustomed to the vencration of Massachusetts sinco time immemorinl, Mr, Apaus, howevor, having stooped to be. como the leador of the great unwashed, must accopt their ways, and need not bo surprised bofore the ond of thoe campaign if he is called upon to entortain the Keruys and O'Briexs within tha walls of the family man. slon nover bofore profaned with valgar soles, whilo the portraits of all the Apauszslobk down with dignificd astonishment ot the short hairs, Alaska diamonds, and No. 18 boots, disporting thomselves in that vener- ated abodg, 2 Tho Telegraph and Messenger of .

'That jourual states that the clauso of tho present Constitution providing that no one shall bo a qualified voter who has not paid * all taxca which may havo been required of him, aud which he msy have had opportunity of paying for tho year next preceding tho oloc- tion," was passed by the Radical Constitu. tional Convention, The object was to com. pel payment of taxes which tho ox-Rebels systematically withheld to break down the * carpot-bag usurpation,” as they styled tho Stato Goversmont when in Republican Liands, But os soon as tho Confedorates gained con- trol of the Legislature thoy passed the law iwposing & polltax, with tho avowed design of making use of it, as they have, to excludo negro voters from tho right of suffrage. It is so on. forced. Iists are mado out systematically of the noegro voters in dofault, and furnished the Domocratie Challenging Committes. But no white man is challengod for non-payment of poll or any other tax; and tho negro who ventured to make anch o challenge would, in Nasny's phraso, promptly bo transformed into n colored angal.

ASTRONOMIOAL. TIHE PLANET SATURN, An examination of the planct Saturn last Tuesday evening, Sept. 5, at the Dearborn Ob- servatory, with o rather high magnllying power, resulted in the witnesaing of o very interests Ing and somewhat rare pheniomenon. On the western limb of the planet, fu latitude 40 to 45 degreca north from I8 equator, there was an cenormous protrusion, orbulglng out, from the generally elliptic outline; and a corresponiling one, though not o large, on the northeastern edge. The rounding out in the northern hemi- splhiere was very casfly noted, even by an une practiced eye, when compared with tho contour of the southern half of the planct. The phenomenon fs. described in the books ns “the squarc-shouldered aspect ™ of Saturn. It appears to have been fivst noticed by Ienrscnen Inthecarly part of the present century; but that éminent nstronomer was so much puzzled by it as aimost to doubt the vvidence of his own sensea, But it has been observed on several oc- caafons during the Inst 50 yeara; and astrono- mers, or some of them, now think they know what it means. Such o change of form would Lo tmpossible without a general disruption, if what we sco of thie planct werea solid crust, like that of the carth. But wo bave very good reason to be- Meve that wo sco only his atmosphere,—very much more densc or cloud-laden than our own, Comparing his volume (700) with his power to disturb the other ‘bodles of the system (02.4), that of the carth Leing unity in each case, wo find that his average density is only about one- clghth part that of the earth, or three-fourtlis the deusity of water, Tho dlfficulty of con- ceiving how o solld body so vast fn size could bo composed of such light materlal vanlshes it we suppose that the planct itself is very much smaller than the dise we see, and §s surrounded by a yery deop atmosphora, This 18’ tho view now generally adopted by those astronomers who renson on the aubject; and 1t furnishes o sufficfent cxplanation of the phenomenon. known a8 the square-shouldered aspect. Wo do not fnd it neeeganry to bellevo that these oc caslonal changes In the shape of Baturn, great enough to Lo visible at o distanco of 800,000,- 000 miles, are anything wmore than vast tidal movements In his ntmosphere, to which the rise and fall of the waters in the tides of our oceaus furnlshes a taint parallel, And truly a very fafnt one. Our ocean tides nowhere rango mors than u few yards above the mean Jovel; while the change In the outline of Baturn last Tuesday nlght indlcated an at- mosphicrle tide of not less than 600 mlles. The magnitudo of the forces at work on that planct to produco such tremendous results, even In his atmosphere, can scarcely be imaglned, much less described.
