These elections are, therefore, watched with on anxiety all the more keen because it is bxsed upon the two most natural and most potent imstincts—self-pride and self- interest. Shall the party be permitted to ob- tain a renewed lease of power which would hand over ten States of the Union to the gov- ernment of an icnorant and semi-brutalized race, and would es'.blish social and political equality with thet race in the Northern States, in violation of the matincts of our people 7— a party which has ran the country to the verge of ruin by Its extravagance and corruption, and boldly justifies its past actions, while at the same tims, on the eve of an eiection, it sneakingly c ints about “ retrenchment and re- form” as its conjact for the future? These are the qnestions which agitate the public mind, not only in the West, where these issues are to be immediately tried, but all over the country. And how stands popular sentiment upon the-e issues in Pennsylvania and Olio? From close observaton of the canvass in both of these States we are satisfied that a marvellous reaction is taking place. Distrust of the radi- cal leaders anl disgust of negro suffrage appear to have taken possession of the rank and file of the party, and thus we find apathy prevailing to-day were enthusiasm existed a year ago. All the discipline, the organization and the money so lavishly expended, have failed to divert the thoughis of the people from the promineat qu stions with which the radical party is saidled—negro supremacy and a thoroughly rotien system of finance that is robbing the pablic in order to enrich the politicians and capitalists. Pondering upon these subjects the quondam supporters of the radicil ticket hesilate to go into the campaign with the vim that made them the most earnest supporters of the party during the war. They are callous to the inspiration of republican documents, and they are disposed to stay at home when called upon to attend radical meetings and lis‘en to the eloquence of the stump spe:kers. In many counties of Ohio radical meetings have been poorly attended— hardly 8 corporal’s guard to cheer Ben Wade and John A. Logan; while upon the same ground democratic speakers invelghing against the financial system of the government and negro suffrage have had audiences by the thousand. That there 1s a large republican vote balancing between the two tickets even the republican leaders do not deny, and the shrewdest calculator among them will not venture upon a prediction that the Sta‘e is not in imminent danger of being lost to them, despite their overwhoiming majority of thirty- eight thousand a year ago. Were we to touch upon the probabilities we would say that the radicals in Ohio will elect their candidate for Governor, General Hayes, apon his personal and military record; that they will lose their mojority in the Legis- lature, which has the election of a United States Senator in the place of Ben Wade ; and that they will possibly fail to elect their can- didate for Congress in the Second district to fill the seat vacated by General Hayes. Should they succeed, however, it will be by a reduced majority, tantamount to a defeat, which may be regarded as the precursor of a total dis- comfiture in the next election. In Pennsylvania, where the election takes place on the same day, there are no more prominent offices to be filled than that of Judge of the Supreme Court and the county offices. There is, therefore, some indifference as to the result; but it is significant of the weakness of the radical party that in framing their plat- form at the State convention they shirked negro suffrage altogether. For this they are de- nounced as mean and cowardly by the ultra portion of their own party and scoffed at by their opponents. If it was good and wise to enfranchise the black men in the ten Southern States, where they exist to the number of noarly four millions, why was it not so in Pennsylvania, where they number buta fow thousands, and can exercise no controlling i fluence? It was because tho radical platform in Pennsylvania was so shaky that they dare not pat the rotten plank of nego suffrage into it, - Looking over these battle fields, then, With their wavering hosts of combatants, we st.” through the clouds and mists of political con- flicts, a great reaction going on—greater, in fact, than that in Maine and California—a re- action that in ten days from now may assume the form of a revolution, may affix the hand- writing upon the wall that is to doom radical- ism, with all its offensive aggression, its limit- less corruption, its Puritanism, sumptuary laws, cant and demoralization, to eternal per- dition. Mexico and the Presidential Contest. Our news from Mexico indicates consider able excitement over the coming Presidential election. As yet there is no one pledged to the field as a candidate in opposition to Benito Juarez. There is, however, some indication that Porfirio Diaz may enter the lists. A con- siderable party at the Mexican capital are desirous of pushing him forward as their leader. Still, there are some very strong reasoas why General Diaz prefers, for the present, to re- main in the background. A fellow townsman of the President, he is indebted to Juarez for education, military advancement and all his honors. His esteem for the man to whom he owes 80 much is very great, and it is, therefore, not improbable that Diaz may firmly refuse the nomination. There are, however, weightier reasons than these for his refusal, and these exist partly in the army. Diaz could not con- trol any but the troops who served under him, and these do not number ten thousand men. The armies of Regules, Corona and Escobedo will all vo'e for Juarez, while the States gene- rally will support the latter. The capital of the country may have a hundred rumors with reference to the Presidential contest, but it will be fonnd that the populous districts far re- moved from the city of Mexico will give an almost unanimous vote for the present incum- beat of the executive chair. All the Northern States are in favor of Juarez, while in the South the vote between him and Diaz would scarcely be divided. There is 2 marked tone of conciliation in the late action of the Mexican government towards those who have heretofore been under the liboral ban for aiding the empire. The act of confiscation, which made such a clean sweep of the property of the Mexican imperialis's, bas been revoked, and the property will, with rare except.ons, be restored. This is a very wis: measure ; for this was the only source from which the Mexican government had any fear of « strongly organized revolutionary move- ment. By restoring the vast esta‘es to their former owners a formidable element has been qui-ted and bound to the interesis of peace and order. The government now proposes to give the clergy the vote and make them eligible to the office of representative to Congress, This movement is of doubtful value at this time for the geeat liberal leader. Mexico, profoundly stirred to civil hatreds by the exhaustive wars she has waged against the clergy, feels little disposed to grant them any rights while the spirit of revenge is at such a red heat. The measure, conciliatory and just, is a good one; but it is premature. It will, however, give Juarez the support of the conservative and wealthy element of the country; but it may lose him much of the ad which he otherwise might have counted upon in the liberal party. Another good measure which it is proposed to adopt is the closer assimilation of the Mexican con- stitution to our own. It is hoped thereby to give a better system of checks an balances to the different branches of the government. There is much work before .the Mex'can statesmen. They have before them many problems which demand prompt and masterly settlement. Among these the first is the finan- cial question. With s country unsurpassed in the ability to restore her credit to a sound basis, the only trouble relative to that matter ishow to exist until the machinery can be repaired and set in motion, Then must be settled the question of feudalism, which has a marked hold in every Mexican Stats. ‘ The great haciendas, often occupying from twenty to thirty thousand square miles, must be cut down. Land must be more equally divided. Taxation of real estate will do this. Hereto- fore the great estates have never been taxed. Another and all important thing for Mexico, if she would live as a separate nationality, is to strike out the word “to-morrow” from her dictionary. The clergy have almost ruined Spanish America, but “to-morrow” weighs upon the land with a still heavier curse. We watch Mexico with intense interest, for she has at length finished her religious wars, It now remains to be seen how wisely she will make use of her victory. Her Presidential election is the first step to « glorious future, providing it be weil taken. Fortunately, there is a chance that there will be no candidate in the field against Juarez. Should Diaz determine to let his name be used, it might resuit in an exciting election, but still his defeat would be almost certain. Juarez holds one great advantage— he is an Indian, and much beloved by his race, which comprises seven-elghths of the popula- tion of Mexico. A Slight Mistake. Mr. Senator Conkling says that “ the dimin- ished Union vote in Maine and California, wholly due to local and personal causes, is set down to Presidential popularity,” and that should the same thing happen in other States “every vote cast against us will be counted an endorsement of the recent acte of Andrew Jobnson.” This is putting the cart before the horse. If other States go the way of California every vote cast against the republican party will be counted as a rebuke against the dis- organizing and revolutionary measures of o radical Congress which hae been faithless to ite professions and its pledgea, Rather Rough. The Weed delegation, it appears, were not only turned out of the Iate republican love feast at Syracuse, but the door was ordered to be closed against them In this city. Ac- cording to Mr. Raymond, who still bas a weakness for Weed, the “Convention should have provided for the registry of all who acted with the republican party, who support its principles and vote for its candidates ;” and “ this was all that was asked by the Weed men ; but even that was not granted.” “Oh! cruel, eruel Polly Hopkins!” More Revenue Frauds. Hardly a day passes that some fraud on the reveaue is not discovered. The last brought to light, according to our Washington tele- grams published yeaterdsy, is that of a party in Weat street, in this city, who have keen ab- stracting cigars and liquors from boxes, casks and barrels in their warehouse, and then filling ne casks with water and the boxes with shav- or other things. The goods thus abstracted sretly carried away and disposed of lepoihaey the duty being paid on them. It ap- ze was bonded and an In- pears the warehou.' : tb ts epector of Customs appo.tted over it, , snid that all the parties, “"cluding the ceagttibed have been arrosted. These “Venue frauds have become so common that peop. “— a express surprise or to pay much attention them, The disease has become chronic. What a fearful atate of things we bave reached when such crimes against the government have be- come an ordinary business! Whata weak and corrupt administration of the Treasury Depart- ment we have, to permit such frauds! If we go on in this way much longer thera will be a bankrupt Treasury, and additional taxes will have to be imposed upon a people already overburdened with them. It is useless to say the subordinates of the Department are to blame ; they, of course, will neglect their duty or participate in the frauis unless watched. Mr. McCulloch is most to blame, for he is re- sponsible for the maladministration of the De- partment. It is ‘incomprehensible to us why this most incompetent Secretary is permitted to remain at the head of the Treasury. Unless he be removed and a more capable man ap- pointed in his place, we may expect fearful embarrassment in our national flaances. Conkling Eclipsed. Our eloquent sophomoric Senator Conkling raised himself to the nebulosities of the aurora borealis at Syracuse, but General Logan eclipsed him in his denunciations of Andrew Johnson. Says Login :—“ Johnson has vio- lated the law and disgraced the Presidential chair, He has held drunken orgies in the White House. He has gone over the country like a reeling drunken man, making a black- guard of himself,” and so forth, and so forth, and “he ought to be impeached and hurled from the White Houss as the devil was hurled over the battlements of heaven.” Conkling’s wrath is expended in the rosin lighining, sheet iron thunder and harmless hail of the stage; while Logan comes roaring dowa upon Johnson like a regular Mlinois tornado, preceded by a cloud of dust. Conkling, in fact, 1s completely eclipsed by Logan, and even Brownlow may retire. The Nation or the Nigger. Greeley lays down republican doctrine in clear and unmistakable terms. The first artiole of the doctrine is the nigger; every important article of the doctrine is the nigger; while all topics under the sun except the nigger are to be considered and treated as “side issues.” There is a fine simplicity in this, The mgger is before all, above all, in place of all; nothing is worth having it it be had without the nigger, while with the nigger anything may be endured. The re-establish- ment of a government of law in t:n States is a trifle worth but litue thought. It is, however, of paramount importance that all the n'ggers should vote. To end this distracted condition of the country, that paralyzes trade and lea ls to anarchy, should not be weighed in the balance against the nigger. National finances, tariff questions, prohibitory temperance—all these are mere trash; but the ngger, his rights and his position—that is the main ques- tion. Thus the people who propose to act with the republican party’ may sec what they vote for. Tho nigger is the “main question;” the national welfare is a “side issue.” And in this platform Greeley is consistent. He said before the war and through the war: Never mind the Union; let it go; but abolish slavery. He was willing to make war or peace on the slavery fary without respect to what became of the country. So now he dictates to his ser- vile followers, called the republican party: Never mind the nation; save the nigger. The Red Eve of Battle. Mr. Senator Conkling says that “we (the republican party) had the right to make sure that the red eye of battle bad closed never to open more upon fraternal strife.” But what does he mean by this “red eyo of battle?” Among the soldi@rs it is generally understood to be commissary whiskey, New England rum, Jersey apple-jack, or something of that sort. Does Mr. Conkling mean to say that this “red eye of batile” shall never be opened again? Are we tohave nothing henceforth but lager beer? Is this the way they are going to put down Andrew Johnson? Dr. Harris Makes a Discovery. Dr. Harris announces his discovery, on board the hospital ship, of disease “which he bad never seen before, and he venture! to say no five physicians in New York had ever seen.” Some of the patients, he adds, were blue, some black. The secretions from the kidneys were normal ; the skin was warm, not cold; pulse slow, not feverish. There was general conges- tion ; the blood was stagnated in the extreme vessels, and there was re‘ching, with other symptoms of cholera. The discass he regards cain a limited measure contagious. Evidence of cerebral congestion was not found, but he thinks he detected a poison on the brain, which kills its victims within four hours. He is inclined to believe that this is the same disease as that which, under the name of the “blue disease,” or the “black typhus,” has been puz- zling the doctors in Ireland during the past five months. He would not like, however, to say this too publicly. is Now, we think that too public an announce- ment cannot be given of an infectious disease which may imperil the health of our great me- tropolis. At the same time we think that great caution should be exercised by an official in the important position held by Dr. Harris, in warning the public to prepare for so terrible a visitor as such a disease might prove. Very thorough investigation of the facts in the case should be made, and quite definite results should be attained, before exposing the com- munity to alarms which are sometimes scarcely less fatal than disease itself, For our own part, we are constitutionally proof against the agitating effects of so-called epidemics ; and the fine September weather which we are now enjoying, together with the early frosts which we have reason to expect, and the happy moral effects of the multitudinous amusements of the season, reassure us as to the public health, notwit,standing Dr. Harris’ discovery of a new and mysierlo..® disease. A single evening in the company of La trade Duchesse de Gerol- stein would prove a preservative against the “blues,” or any other “blue diseaso” that the doctors can discover. Sine Issuas.—While Greeley proposes to Ozht through this fall campaign on the paramount issue of the “almighty nigger,” and to drop all side issues, Senator Conkling proposes to sink all the great issues of the day in the little side issue of Andrew Johnson. Gentlemen, which is your ticket, Mr. Johnson or Pompey? WASHINGTON. ON nn Wasuinaroy, Sept. 27, 1867, S 11 o'clock P.M, } Resumpr.®" Of Specie Payments.

The bank is said to be per. fectly solvent, notwithstanding the many rumors to the contrary. Every creditor will be paid, and the stock- holders will have over $200,000 teft, provided they are alloxed to manage thoir own proparty. Extensive Internal Revenue Frauds ta the Went and Southwest. A special revenue inspector who has just returncd to make his report to Commissioner Rollins, attor @ six months’ tour through the West aad Southwest, repro- sents the frands upon the revenue iu the tobaccco busi- ness as scarcely inferior in extent aad enormity to the whiskey frauds. His attention was directed to the to- Daceo trade exclusively, aud he sta.cs that ia the brief time he has been away he has discovered frauds to the tof balf a million of duliars, These were mostly ght to light in St, Louis, Cinc nati, Louisville, Cairo and Memphis, The stencil marks used by the tobacco inspectors of the soveral revenue districts are freely counterfeited and us*d.

Judge lerwood and Mr. Chandler are both of opinion that sufficient testimony can be pr duced to convict Davie, provided the case is allowod to take the Teguiar course, without any interference upon the part of the authorities here, The friends of Davis, including his boudsmes, assert that he will put in an appearance at court when wanted, and that ho is not only willing, but anxious, to'go through a regular trial on the indict- against him, Mr. Chandler bas as yet received no definite iasiructions, the case being still under considera- tion. The Virginia Elcction. Preparations for the Virvinia election, which takes place om the 22d of Novembor, are going quietly for- ward. Prominent radicals from that State assert that out of the one hundred and five delegates to be elected to thé convention they will have at least sixty. iy is thought that the negroes in many of the country disiricts will either vote with their white employers or fail to participate in the election, Im the estimate givon above the radicals say they have made due allowance for such a contingency. The republicans, through their Union Joague organizations, are zealously at work in all the towns, and wherever they can penetrate into the coun- try districta, The democrats, on the other hand, are struck with a strange apathy and are doing very little. ‘The largest of the three Union Leagues in Richmond, Va, one with sixteen delegates, will present the names of Major John H.
