4 ciTY POLITICS. Alarm in the Tammany Pirate Fleet—' ir Bay of Anchorage no Longer Considered Safe—Attempted Mutiny on Board Some Ships of the Democratic Union Fleet. Tne hush of an ominous calm is at present brooding over that bay in which the pirate barks, slave schooners, Malay prabus, buccaueer galloons and smuggling luggers of our local politics have their central entrepot, into which they run eliber to deposit safely away the booty and loot acquired during thoir last desperate cruise againat the peaceful commerce of the city and county treasuries or to refit and prepare for new enterprises of wider wing and yet {atenser voracity, It is not a healthy calm, however, nor would any weatherwise person prog- nosticate its long continuance, Sailing up from the southeast aga'nst the wind is a black squall—the squall of ® revolutionary condition of public opinion; and though the waters now may whisper lispingly along the silver beach, it is easy to predict that before many hours a storm of no ordinary force will sweep in from tho outer ocean, and every craft that is not securely moored will find itself drifting over waves which it cannot control, and adding the ribs of another wreck to the thousand ghastly spectros of Jost political vessels which already bestrew that fatal shore. All of our chief Tammany and “Lunch Ciub’’ captains already foel the influence of the coming tornado, and while the sailors and cabin boys of their now creaking and reeling pirate ship are feasting in the forecastie, and are only with dificulty restrained from breaking into the steward’s room im search of additional drink and crackers, there are grave councils of war held in the after cabins of all vessels of the ‘ring,’ and all the captains and officers are in busy debate as to the means by which they may be saved, THES TAMMANY HALL SLATS, WITH HON. JOHN MORRISSRY’S POLITICAL CALCULATIONS “IN DOLLARS,’? To sum up the whole situation of affairs in one word:—. All tho alates made by the rank and fils are broke: nd the three mustachioed leaders have determined on crea- ting a new slate for themselves and forcing this on the party, in doflance of the hungry desires entertained by nearly all of their prominent supporters, What the new slate is can be best learned through the following bets, now everywhere offered by the Hon. John Morrissoy:— $1,000 to $300 that Alderman Charles E, Loew is the next candidate of Tammany Hall for County Clerk; $1,000 to $1,000 that no man can yet positively name the noxt Tammany Sheriif, but $500 to $1,000 that Al- derman Joseph Shannon will be tho happy man; $1,000 to $50 that A. Oakey Hall will receive the next regular nomination for District Attorney, and $1,000 to $1,000 that he will be elected over Judge Nolson J. Waterbury, who will carry the democratic Union standard; $1,000 to $300 that Judge Leonard will be renominated by Mayor Hoifma’s influence, and $1,000 to $300 that if so nominated he ‘will bo heavily defeated by Judge Albert Cardozo, who hhas been taken up and bas become the candidate of the democratic Union taciion. It willbe seen from these deta, which, coming from 80 authorative a source, must comtnand the highest confidence, that the Tammany captains, in their great emerzency, have resolved to throw orerboard ail the dearest wishds aud hopes of the strongest men In their organization. GENERAL INSCRRECTION AND WAR PATH OF THE YOUNGER TAMMANY CHIEFS, The nomination of Shannon for Sheriff will set Con- gressman Fox, Deputy Sherif Thomas Henry Ferris, Police Justice Hogan, Alderman Michael Norton, ex- Comptrolier M. i, Brennan, and all their ‘dan- gerous followers upon a war path of inextinguish- able wrath io all the lower wards of the city—the Fourte nth ward, in which Alderman Shannon lives, alone excepted; while the adoption of Alderman Charles E. Loew, ot ‘the Eleventh ward, as County Clerk, will wake up into a frenzy’ of savage rage Alderman James O' rien, wielding the powerful forces of the Twebty-first ana several adjacent wards, and wiil Dring to the standard of that groat natural partisan and forehead the help of adozea other disappointed aspir- ants for the same place. HOW CANDIDATES ARR “PUT TO siREP.’? There is some taik, indeed, among the Tammany Jeaders that O’Brien may be taken up as their nominee for berif, with Loew as his associate for County Clerk ; but we don’t believe a word of i', though no wiser step could be taken in the Wigwam. Alderman O'Brien has immense popular as well as physical force; yet, though he would ceriainly be tue strongest maa ‘to take the fold against Judge Michael Connoily, he will never be given the chaace, All reports that he is to be nomi- nated are only put forth to “uli him to sleep,” and drug his dangerous activity until he can be butchered off, with little trouble and no noise, about ten days before the elec- tion. O Brion has positive strongth, and should rally it and assert it at once. He is a representative man of the working classes, and should not let himself be “ho- cussed’? junio fatal lethargy by fair promises, He should join ex-Comptroller Mathow T. Brennan in m srassing 8 second time the timid or dishonest counc! which have cheated so many and are preparing to cheat him also; and be should urge « demand for material guarantees at once, Nothing is easier then to persuade somo piain, honest candidate, like O'Brio, that he will be given the nomination ‘‘if he will only cop quiet;”” and when he has kept quict until the night of nomina. tion, he will only be laughed at for his pains. Let bim again call on T. H. Ferris and all other cortainly disap- ndidates, and let them take the war path at Now, in order to expiain to outsiders now dangerous the rovolt of those few ie may be made, the following remarks wil! suffice: —Tbese chieftains, each in their own conirol of what is called th y machine, and only through thoir tio) fidelity can the Tammany boxes upon election morning be true to their vocation, or can the eo faithful. rection may be made last year in the Twenty-first ward, where, in consequence of the disappo.ntment of O'Brien and bis friends, no single Tammany ticket for one par- ticular office~that of Register—could be found tn the whole ward at sunrise, when the faithful came upto @oposit their vallos.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD, The Democrats Becoming Suddenly Sanguine of More Than Usual Gains in October=—Ne- gro Suffrage the Leading Question in Ohio— Its Deteat Tolernbly Certuin-Ben Wade Disappolated—How His Cleveland Friends Treated Him=—The Finan: Phase of the Canvass—Alicnation of the Germans from the Radical Party—The Candidates for Gov- ernor. Cunvetas, Sept. 11, 1867. Tho political.canvass in this State, like the shifting kaleidoscope of national affairs, is every day assuming a feature of increasing interest. The democracy, which some weeks ago meditated no more ambitious achievement than the capture of some small county offices, has just begun to talk seriously of sweeping the entire State, At this stage of the canvass, however, such utterances can only be regarded as gasconade, for between now and tho Sth ef October it is possible for issues to present them- selves to counteract thoso which apparently favor the democratic party. As matters now stand, the proposed amendment to the constitution of Ohio, giving the ne- groes the right to vote, forms the leading question be- tween the two parties contending for the supremacy. Tbe republican party has thrown down the gauntlot, not, however, in a manner to com- mend much admiration, but, relying on its establishod strength, it hopes to carry, even by some small majority, the object which it has at heart, But why should the republican party go to so much trouble and run such risks to secure for the more handful of negroes in this Stato the elective franchiso? Because, as I should think, the inconsistency of permitting the ballot to the illiterate biacks of the South and with- Qolding it from the educated darkeya of Oberlin, gives vethe democrats their most potent argument the purely partisan and arbitrary legislation of the party in power; an argument, too, that is having its logiti- mate effect, and according to the tidings we receive of republican losses in other States, is opening the eyes of the country to the hypocritical character of radical pro- fessions. Here in this republican State the nogroes number but seven or eight thousand, and.though each one ia a model of Ethiopian intelligenco, the so-called regonerators of the black race have persistently denied them the boon they so readily conforred on the semi- civilized Africans on the plantations of Florida. It might be premature to say that this constitutional amendment will be defeated; but if the manner in which a republican crowd received Bon Wade's sup- plications for suffrage to the negro yesterday after. noon be an indication of the prevailing tempor on the subject, poor Sambo has little to hope for from his professed friends. The motive of Senator Wade in asking bis hearers to enfranchise the negro seomed to be to save him, as he said, from the shame and inconsistency he fears to be reproached with in Wash- ington for giving to Southern negroes what his own State refusos to yield to a tritling element of {te popula- tion. Of course the democrats joyfully accept this challenge ou the constitutional amendment, and with that point of the contest they feel sansuine of succe: ‘Thoir orators are no’ sure to follow the They say, let the cot Southera border, filling the towns and cities ing the value of the white man’s bone and muscle. They contend, furth @ municipal government of Ohio was @ compact en white men, to which the Degro was no party, and cannot therefore presume to claim theee rights to which bis patrons say he is entitied. They ask if the cliizen who shouldered bis musket and went to the war imperiled life to set the negro free and put him on a political | with himself. In turn- ing to the republican party we find division in its ranks on this absorbing topic. In this part of tho State, which 1s called the Western Reserve, where the forces of republcanism, when driven from the battlefields of the jaterior, retire to recruit their legions and meet their antagonists in superior strength, the coustitutional amondment will receive but a feeble affirmation, Whon Ben Wade emphatically put the question yesterday, “Will you allow the nogress to vote?'’ not ® solitary voice responded yes; if any man was inclined to say so he was unable to overcome bis timidity. To Bon it was a discomfture he was evidently unprepared for, and J doubt if he has yet recovered from its effects. In jas- tice to him, however, it should be mentioned it was the first time in seven years that he addressed tue.Cleve- landers, and was consequently unaware of how far be- hind tho age thoy actually are, t this city was set- tied by pilgrims from Connecticut, and 1s still parvacea by an atmosphere of Puritanism, in which drinking beer and reading newspapers on the Sabbath are contrary to righteousness, Leaving the negro to bis fate it may be well to glance at ihe otver phases in the contest, and at the leading as- pirants for Siate honors. The question of paying of the national debt in greenbacks is hoy seriously agitated by ono sido and fucetiousty treated by the other, The democrats ask if the white ome are to be slaves to the bankers and mdholdera, and what will sixteen hundred banks and a bonded deot of three or four billions do with the people's liberty? They conclude that as the debt was made in backs it should be disposed of tn the same currency, republicans langh at this logic and inquire the uch @ proceeding as borrowing mone: creditor; bat apart from that thore is At present stumping the State, gives p: to this subject, ead belag ome who, more than man in the Wey, em eommsad on audience of willing latenera, ouea [praa the? ranks of his opponemu, bie 8 rexive ujuguel eonsideration ‘Tax the cry of the democrats, and one more plausible, if pot strictly just, it would be dimculs for ‘hem to adopt.

The oratorical great guns and pop guns are deton: all over the State, announcing that the political campaign ts progressing furiously, Judge Kelley, of Philadelphia, opened the ball in this city on Wednesday with one of his vigorous speeches, General Samuel F, Cary, the in- dependent candidate for Congress in the Second District in place of General Hayes, the republican candidate for Governor, addressed avery largo meeting on Thursday Dight in the open air. Ho made a two hours’ speech, in which he mentiy declared that he was not a demo- crat, buta sound republican, while at the same time hia ad- vocacy of democratic principles on the finance and negro suffrage question was most prominent all through his address, He was particularly strong on the ‘‘winga’’ of the radical party ; denouncing the whole concern as utterly corrupt and dictatorial, The fortunes of the radicals in this district was, however, probably decided te-day by the action of the Democratic Excoutive Commitite, who metin the rear part of the Inguirer office, aud after some discussion and # good deal of opposition from William M. Corry, and other ultra democrats of “the principle not men” school, it was decided by a vote of thirty-one to eleven not to make any democratic nomination for Congress in the Second district. This action will throw a large portion, if not nearly all, the democratic vote for Cary, who i@ regarded sound on the two questions of most vital importance in this cam- paign, the payment of the principal of national bonds in greenbacks, and the unconstitutionality of Congress pre- scribing suffrage In the States, I understand that the trades’ unions have pledged two thousand two hundred votes for Cary, who is their nominee, It is said also that the Germans, who were not favorable to Cary in conse- quence of his extreme temperance views will not permit their prejudices to interfere in this emergency, but will ge largely for Cary, The radical idea of public finance is distasteful to a large number of the republican party throughout the State, and it is quite probable that this fact will affect tho radical vote for General Hayes, with all his popularity and fine military record. As to Richard Smith, the opponent of General Cary for a seat in Coogresa, the action of the democracy to-day very seriously imperils bis chances, Indeod his defeat is con- fidently spoken of, and his withdrawal is even hinted at, He 1s the candidate of the national banks and is backed up by them and the Chamber of Commerce, so that there is no lack of cash on his side, From this c ndition of affmrs you may judgo how com- plete a revolution is going on in Obio—a revolution that js certain to diminish if not overthrow the radical ma- jority in the State. No one will be more surpnsed than the radicals themselves if they do not roceive a very severe lesson in the coming election, even though they may succeed in electing their Governor. Meantime the battle is waging flercely all over the State, Every town and village bas its stump orator blazing away in such rapid succession that itis impossible to keep pace with them, Ben Wade is on the stump every day, and General John A. Logan, ex-Governor Denison, Governor Cox, General Hayes,.and a host of lesser lizhts of tho radical party, the most obuoxious and extreme views of which they stoutly advocate, mciuding instant impeach- ment of tho President and their ruinous financial system, which robs tbe poor to enrich the wealthy. On the dem- ocratio side Vallandigham, Pendieton, Thurman, Me- Coox and Frank Hurd, backed by a democratic orgaui- z tion which has gained efficiency and courage from the resuits in the two extremes of the continent, Maine and California, are flying like light artillery through tho State, pouring in their shot with vigor, Roth parties seem determined to mako the most of the threo wei yet remaining before the election, To show bow muc! at variance the issues are I submit the substance of the most prominont resolutions in the platforms of both par- tes, The democrats resolved at the Convention in January last that the democracy of Obio steadiastly adhere to the principles of the party as expounded by the fathers, and approved by experience; that in accoraance with the: principles wedeciare that the federal governmont is a government of limited powers, and that it possesses no powers but such asare expressly, or by necessary im- plication, delegated to it in the federal constitution ; that the federal government is unfitted to legislate for or administer, the local concerns of the States; that it would be monstrous that the local affairs of Ohio should bo regulated bya federal Congress in which she has but two Senators, and the New England States, with but a little greater population, have twelve; that the ten- dency of the federal government is to usurp the ts of the States and of the people; aud that, therefore, @ centralization of power in its banas is ‘anover pendir anger; that a national debt, besides impoverishing the people, fosters an undue increase of the powers of the federal ero- ment; that high protective tariff’ have a like effect, sacrificing the interests of the many for the emoluments of the few, and plainly violating the equity and spirit of the constitution ; that the coliecuon disbursement of enormous revenues by the federal government bave the samo tendency, besides corrupting the goverument, and that therefore economy is essential net only to the pros. perity but also to the liberties of the Ne; that un- equal taxation is a plain violation of justice, of which nO government can safely be guilty; that to each State right to determine the qualification of its electors, and ali attempts to impair this right ocither by congressional legisiation or coustitutional amendment are unwise and despotic; that the States lately el- lion are States in the Union, and bave been recogoizod as such by every dopartment of the government and by President Lincoln, who in the modst of the war invited them to elect members of Vongress; by President Jobn- son in various proclamations and official acts; Congress, which permitted Andrew Johnson to im the Sonate as a Senator from Tennosseo, and members from Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana to sit’ in the House of Representatives after these States had seceded and while the war was ‘being carried on, and which furthor recognized them as States in the Union by the Congressional Apportion- ment act providing for their due representation in Con- gress; by various tax |i and especialiy by the direct tax; by the resolutions submitting amendments to the constitution for their approval, and by various oth acts and resolutions imparting the same recognition; all of which were passed since the attempted secession of those Staies by the Judiciary of the Uniied States, which hoids federal courts in all those States, and espe- cially by the Supreme Court, which ontertains jurisdic. tion of cases coming from them, which it could not do were they not ta the Uniow. That being thus in the Union they stand on an equal footing with tifeir sister States—States with unequal rights being a thing up- known to the constitution. That the radical majority in the #o-called Congress bave proved themselves to be in wor of negro suffrage by forcing It upon the people of tue District of Columbia against their almost unanimous wish, solemnly expressed at the polis, by forcing it upon the people of all the Territories, and by their various de- vices to coerce the people ot the South to adopt it; that ‘we are opposed to negro suffrago, believing it would be Productive of evil to both whites end blacks, and tend to Produce a disastrous coufict of races, On the 19th of June the radical convention declared that ono of tho great lessons of the war 18 that the American ache & pation, and not merely a con- federacy of sovereign and independent States.

Names of Those Excluded from Pardou—The Wherenbouts and Occupations of the Rebel peotiae Wasursatom, Sept. 9, 1867. The President’s proclamation of amnesty, which ap- Peared to-day, has provoked considerable inquiry ag to the persons included in its benefits and as to those who re still left out in the cold. The Southerners, whe have been looking forward to this decument with the hope that it would be broad and comprehensive, as suggested end enforced in the colamns of the Herarp, are much isappointed at the result, and I imagine that not a few Of thelr leading men will be considerably chop-fallon when they come to read the document itself, and find that, while they are released om some of the counts in the proclamation of 29th May, 1865, a firm grip is kept on them by some other clause, Per contra, the radicals will make, and are making already, a great hue and out- cry over the release of * prominent rebels,” &o.; but, before I get through, I will show that there is very little Pretoxt for such clamor im what the President has just done, It is popularly supposed that a large class of peo- ple in the South stood unpardoned before this proclama- tion, This isa mistake, Mr, Lincoln's Procigmation of Amnesty took in the great mass of the Southern people and nearly all brought themselves within its scope and effect by taking the oath proscribed before Mr. John- son tgsued bis paper of 29th May, 1865, Mr, Lincoln’s Proclamation was just as legal ir, Johnson's, and the officers of the latter went on to act on this idea, and by his cognizance and direction administered the oaths under it, thereby releasing hundreds of thousands from the penalties denounced against them. Mr. Johnson's proclamation of 29th May, 1865, did not even by implication disregard Mr. Lincoln’s procia- mation, but expressly recognized its efficacy as.to those who had put themselves under its shicld, He went on, however, to issue @ new paper and to enlarge the chances of exception in respect to those who had not availed themselves of Mr. Lincoln’s amnesty, But as there was some unéortainty whether a man protected by Mr. Lincoln’s amnesty was all right, if he was not also included in Mr, Johnson’s amnesty, the great mass of the Southern people went over the operation of taking tte oath a second time, and for a g00d while the Provost Marshals in the South were kept busy enough. As to the $20,000 men, they came on to Washington for special pardons, sweated and groaned all sbrough July and August in Mr. Jobnson’s ante cham- bers, ran up bills at Willard’s which they paid with borrowed money, swore some, but finally got their par- dons and went homo feeling somewhat relieved, though npt exactly secing how the possession of $20,000 made &@man a worse sinner than hfs neighbor, It isa com- mon notion that many of these $20,000 men did not get their pardons; but the fact is the reverse. The Recessitios of business and the desire of making provi- sion for their families made this class especially solicit- ous to be put under the pale of the law, and conse- quently nearly all of them made application and stuck to it till they got through. Only one, I believe, was kopt very long on the anxious bench, General Joseph R. Anderson, the proprietor of the Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond; but if he bad not been an original West Pointer, and bad made » more manly state- ment of his participation in the rebellion, the Probability is that ho would have got through as speedily as the others. Thus you have the great mass of the Southern peoplo—the army privates, &c.—let out by simply taking the oath, and the $20,000 men released by special pardons. By the way, owing to the general poverty and desolation caused by the war there are com- paratively few men in the South who are worth $20,000— probably not one for every twenty in the North among the same general aggregate, Those two classes make up the body of the Southern people, and only one considerable class remained not protected by general amnesty or special pardons. These are the rebel sympathizers who left their homes in Missouri. Maryland, Kentucky and West Virginia and went South to joim the Confederate army or otherwise aid the rebellion. Notwithstanding the number who died from disease or in battle probably a great many Confederate soldiers remain who are not allowed am- besty by the prociamation of May 29, 1865, and who now come in, There are few persons of note among these, The number way be set down as foil ‘issouri, 15,000; Kentucky, 15,000; Maryland, 10,000; other laces within the United Statos lines, ; total, 41,000, jut of course a much larger pumber than this went from these States inio the rebellion, I give only those surviving, and who are now admitted to amnesty, The most noticeable class of ne now for the first time admitted to amuesty are the members of the United States Congress w! ed their seats and went South, and the members of the Confederate Con- ier at Richmond apd Montgomery. But tt deserves to noted that quice a Mamber of these are stili entangled in the meshes of the present paper, us will appear here- after, and @ good many others came on here and at one time or another got tneir pardons, Among these | may instance Percy Waiker, United states Member of Con- fabama, James L. Pugh, from Alabama, 3, Mt, Curry, from Alabama; Wiillam Porcher. Miles, of South Carolina; Witliam W, Boyce, of South Carolina; De Jarnetie and Gholson, of Virginia, and many otnera, A good too, of the secession mombors are dead. Gylienuaa hicore, of Alabat died from wounds, in battle; Burnett, of Kentucky; Barksdale, of Mississippi, who fell at Le eeing ranch, of North Carulina, killed near Richmond; M. R, H. Garnett, of Virginia, and This prociamat! others. ion, however, lets out a few prominent men—among them Bocock, of Virginia, former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and hoid- ing a similar place under the Confederacy, since the war practising law quietly near Lyachburg; Henry A. Wise, Brigadier General in the rebel army, now practising 1aw; Martin J. Crawford, of Georgia, former Membor of Con- gress here, and a member of Richmond Congress; Robers Barnwell, of South Carolina, a leading membor of the Confederate Sei and about 1351 a United ‘States Senator for eriod ; E. Barksdale, of Misais- sippi, a Confederate member of Congress; Wm. A. Granam, of North Carolina, a mocnber of the Confedurate Senate, once Unived States secretary of the Navy; Ed- ward Sparrow, of Louisiana, a member of the ‘Con- federate states Senate ; James Cuestuut, of South Caro- ina, the first United States Senator who resigned his seat to go into the rebellion, thom a momber of the Confederate Senate, thea a momber of Jeff. Davia’ per- sonal etaf!, and lastly @ brigadier general; Herschel V. Johnson, a Confederate Senator; and lastly, 1 may men- ‘tion David L. Yulee, Cuited Siates Senator at the ume the rebellion broke out; this person has had rather a hard time of it, It was understood that he waa very loath to go in for secession, but was carried ia by the ground swell. He resigned his seat im the United States Senaie and that was the end of him. Mr. Davis gave him nothing; his own State, Florida, gave him nothing; he languisued in obscurity, and would probably have been utterly forgotion but for the attentive zeal of bis ows brother-in-law, Mr. Joseph Holt, of the Bureau of Military Justice between whom and himeelf there wasa little family feud. Holt had Yulee hunted up and di to Fort Pulaski—to reve! on auch dain- tes a8 pork and beans, and then deaf to all traternai con- siderations Holt contrived he shoula stay—being the very man last to be released among a number of con- spicuous prisoners who had held high office at Rich- mond.
