New ORLEANS, Oct. 19, 1568. A despatch received here to-day from Franklin, La., states that the office of the Attakapos Register, published in Franklin, St. Mary's parish, was sacked last night, The press was destroyed and the type scattered, The editor and printers left for New Or- leans this morning, The despatch says the citizens of Franklin and surrounding country are doing all in their power to preserve order. The negroes are making very bold threats, but have not made any at- tempt to carry them into execution. The town and parish are quict at present. The city of Jefferson, adjoining New Orleans, has been considerably excited for several days over a police imbroglo. That parish has lately been included in the lavely created metropolitan police istrict, ze 1 pace. The existing authorities refnsed to sur- render the city property, intending to have the mat- ter tested in the courts, The meiropolitan police made several unsuccessful attempts to take posses- sion by force, making no appeal to the courts. They ‘nally established a station of their own and placed policemen on beats. A number of the latter, together with the wie lar captain of police, were arrested, but relea: on boad, Last night at midnight a notorious negro named Sandy Packer was arrested, having a sword aud revoiver in his possession. He accounted for them by saring he was an officer of the metropolitan force and had been guarding a church durio; ight. Several negroes were urrested for pe jing the streets armed with Fnfield rifles, United States cartridge boxes and ammunition, Rumors are afoat that the metropoli- tan police intend to take forcible ion of the police station houses, ‘This the existing will resist. The Jeflerson City authorities, elected at a recent election, are willing to t a judicial decision, but refuse to surrender otherwise. ‘The negroes were congregaung to-day at Brashear City, La., where it is said oue of the men who was aggassinated at Franklin on Saturday night is to ve buried. Arrivals from that section report apprehen- sion of disturbance, and the families of the citizens are beimg sent to places of safety. The citizens themselves are remaining. ‘The body of Sheriff Pope, of St. Mary’s parish, killed Saturday night, arrived here this morning in charge of his wife, en route to Pana, Christian county, iL, bishome, Pope was formerly colonel of the Twenty-ninth Illinois iment. No clue to the assassins has been obtained, ‘There is no imme- diate counection of the two murders with politics except that both victims were prominent radical leaders. The reports that families were leaving the neighborhood through fears of violence appear to lave veen unfounded. Persons who arrived from that parish this evening say no one has Jeft on that account and Sep now prevails, though consider- able excitement and apprehension existed at first. Both honses of the Legislature to-day passed a bill appropriating $10,090 as 2 reward for the detection of the perpetrators of the Franklin assassinations. ‘The House sustained the Governor's veto of the vill authorizing the city to issue five millions in bond: principal aud interest payable in gold, to be Oo on the market and the proceeds applied to the re- demption of the city currency.

State Volitics—The Democrats Confident of SucecseDisposition of Federal Troops Conviction of a Colored Murdercr. RALEIGH, Oct, 19, 1863, Both parties are working vigorousiy, The republi- cans are jubilant over the elections in the Northern States and the democrats are disappointed, but de- termined and confident of carrying this State. Both parties have full Electoral and Congressional tickets in the fleld, On the republican ticket are Byryn Lafin, formerly of New York, and A. H. Galloway, a colored man; all the others are natives of this State. On the democratic ticket all are natives of (this State and enfranchised. On the republican Con- gressional ticket all the candidates are natives of this State except David Heaton and J, T. Dewese, Mr. Boyden is on an independent ticket; he opposes radicalism byt will vote for Grant, Mr. Tourgee, formerly of Ohio, and Mr. French, former! of Washington city, having been ruled of the democratic ticket, all the candidates are natives of the State. Both parties look for success iv the coming election. Governor Holden has suspended tue order for or ganizing a detailed militia. General Miles has digtributed the Fortieth United States regiment follows:—Two companics in Raleigh, two in Goldboro, one in Weldon, one in Ply- moult, ‘one in Fayetteville, one in Charlotte, one Ih Greensboro, all colored troops. One company o! white troops belonging to a heavy artillery regiment and armed as infautry, arrived here from Fortress Monroe on Saturday. ‘The democrats say there is no need of troops in the State unless to gota negro outrages and violence. They afirm that there is no foundation for Governor Holden’s and General Miles’ suspicions or rumors about the democratic organizations arming, They enspect that the Union Leagues are arming. ‘The democrats, When they purchase any arma, say the; are for individual protection and not for any organl- zation hostile to the government. There have heen several robberies of money, &c., by armed disguised squads recently in this State, Governor Hoiden professes only @ desire and pur- pore to preserve order and protect the State, and the democrats disclaim ail desire or purpose to interfere with the snitrage of the biacks. They declare they will not interfere with or change the State government except by ballot, but the republicans seem to think otherwise, The democrats say they have no objec- tion to white United States troops remaining in’ the State and apprehend no disturbance, In the Superior Court here last week a colored man Was tried for an attempted outrage on a colored irl Ho chose his jury from the white people and former slave holders alone, and was acquitted on the evidence, A colored soldier named Alexander ©. Willts, 0 member of the Fortteth United States regiment, who was tried and convicted six months ago for the murder of @ colored citizen, has been sentenced by Judge Watts to be hung on the 6th of November, the execution to take place in the prisan. The Raleigh Sentinel differs totaly with the New York World and other papers in changing the demo- cratic candidates, and denounces the movement. Goneral Litfeteld, of Pennsylvania, has revurned to this city. He is reported to be the owner ot The Standard, Governor Lolden’s org 1a. WASHINGTON. Progress of the Democratic Mutiny. Reported Letters of Seymour and Blair Agreeing to Withdraw. The Mutineers Caucusing With Tammany and Manhattan, WASHINGTON, Oct, 19, 1868, ventinged Efforts to Thiow Overboerd and Binir, Most of the change-ol-fronters who have beet here for a few days stirrlug up the pro-Clase move- ment have left for New York, with a view to oper- ating on the big Injans of Tammany and of con- verting the Manhattan Club people to the new pro- gramme, As I telegraphed you last night, they in- tend to make a vigorous attack upon Belmont & Co., and hope to induce the great democratic Tycoon to issue a call for @ meeting of tie Executive Com- mittee to consult upon the political situation, They have gone off in a great hurry, fearing that Belmont may run off to Europe before they have a confab with him. The probability, therefore, is that while I am writing this despatch they are having a general consuitation somewhere in your city, and you may be on the lookout for some developments. While it is not considered at all likely in these quarterd that the movement will amountto anything, stil it is not to be dented that it has gathered force here; that many influential men are numbered among its advocates, and that no effort will be relaxed to eifect their object. The great diMiculty, of course, is with the National Com- mittee, It was at first believed that the movement was begun under the auspices of this committse, but later developments have disclosed that not more than three or four of them were concerned in it. It seems that on the day after the tate elections Mr. Barlow, of New York, wrote to Montgomery Blair, broaching the question of changing the candi- dates, In this letter Mr. Barlow urged the necessity of the measure and asked the co- operation of Mr. Blair. The latter replicd imme- ‘we. dissenging eutiroly from the yigwa of diaw.. , “Kmard to tie necessity of such 9 Mr. Barlow in ic, be omits he expected change, as well as to the £904 reo, ai. from it, and declining to take aly part what... the scheme, Yet, as the question of changing the candidates was supported by @ number of recog- nized leaders of the party, although it received no gountenance from the National Committee, ‘With gen- tlemen #0 sensitive in their pride as Mesérs, Seymour and Blair, tv could not be entirely disregarded. These gentiemeri, therefore, have taken the neces- sary steps to infornt those persons assuming a guardianship of the democratic party that if such a plan is approved by the proper authorities, so that there shall be no mistake abont its being the desire of the mass of the democracy, no hin- drance to the proposed change will be offered by them, It is asserted very positively that Mr. Seymour has placed in the hands of his friends a letter, in which he formally withdraws bis name as a candidate for the Presidency, with the under- standing that the letter is to be used only in case the National Committee shal! enter into the change of front movement. It was also alleged that a similar letter was written by General Blair and left in the possession of a friend in Missouri, to be used in the event of Mr. Seymour's withdrawal. Careful in- quiry shows that precisely such a letter has not been prepared by General Blair; but at the same time it is developed that he has written to gentiemen in this city assuring them that he will promptly withdraw atine same time that Mr, Seymour does, In cor- roboration of this it may be mentioned that Judge Blair wrote to Mr. Tilden in New York that the General was not then in Washing- ton, but that he would take the responsi- bility of assuring the Democratic National Commit- tee that General Blair would not stand in the way or a change of candidates, if such should be the desire of the committee. Several leading men in the demo- cratic party here agree in the opinion that this change of front mancuvre is supported and urged by Secretary Seward, and that not out of any friend- ship for the democracy. They allude to the attempt as the work of treachery, and predict its utter failure, because, as they claim, it will never receive the co-operation of the National Commiitee. Prominent Southerners Favor a Change of Front. Among prominent Southern men now here is ohn H. Gilmer, of Richmond, Va., who freely expresses the opinion that, as a matter of patriotic duty, be deems it proper for the conservatives to act in such a Way as to imsure — success, and that the only way now left open is to change front totally, by placing the name of Chase before the country, with tiree words for his platform, to wit, ‘‘constitution and success.” Mr. Gilmer thinks that the crisis demands immediate action, and favors the calling together of the }g- tional Committee for conauitation, He goek to N York to-morrow, aud will co-operate with all the friends of the new movement who have. already re- paired thither. While all these mancuvres are being planned in favor of Chase, who refrains from encouraging them in the slightest degree, there 13 another class of democrats who keep urging that the true policy is to give Grant 4 unanimous vote for the Presidency. They approve the idea thrown * out in the HERALD, and believe that by clever manage- ment the democratic Grant electors could be elected ina majority of the States. Jy conversation with a prominent Southern gentleman to-night he freely stated that should the Chase movement fal! he iu- tended to come out openly for Grant and Colfax, be- lieving it to be the true policy for the South. The Whiskey Ring at Werk. The Western whiskey men are bringing a pressure to bear upon the Commissioner of Internal Revenue toobiain a construction of the amended revenue laws that will permit them to redistii without incur- ring the tax on rectified whiskey. The present con- struction of the Jaw stops all copper and steam cop. Het Gistitieries by calling rediatillation, or doubling, rectification, The manufacturer, therefore, who re- distils to increase the strength of his whiskey is classed as both a distiller and a@ rectifier and sub. jected to both taxes. They claim that this is an un- fair construction, and was not so intended by the framers of the law. Messrs. Colfax, Beck, of Ken- tucky, General Schenck, who is the author of the bill, and others have called upon Mr. Rollins and showed him conclusively that while tax attached to spints from its first distillation nothing in the law was tn tended fto prohibit the manufacturer from doubling or redistilling 80 as to perfect his liquor, the amount of tax being determined by the character and proof of the whiskey when it entered the receiving gis- tern. The Commissioner, it is understood, will con- form to this view of the law, Going Home to Vote. A week ago an order” was issued by the Secretary of War permitting employés of that bureau who had not voted in this District to go home to do so, A clerk in the Paymaster Generai’s Ofice, it is said, recently made application to Colonel George E, Glenn, Paymaster United States Amy, for leave of absence, The oMcer, knowing ho intended to voto the republican ticket, refused his request, in violation of the order above mentioned, giving as a reason for #0 doing that his services could not be spared, but that if he persisted in his claim he could go home and would be dropped from the pay rolis from the Ist proximo, Departare of General Rosecrans. General Rosecrans left here for New York to-night after receiving his final instructions from Secretary Seward. The latter went on the same train to have a consultation in New York with Peter Cooper in relation to the proposed ship canal across the Isth- mus of Darien. Pardon of General Preston, of Kentucky. Pardon has been granted hy the President to Major Genoral William Preston, of Kentucky, formerly of the Confederate ariny.

A circular by the Republican National Committee was sent to ail the radical depaitmental clerks to-day soliciting contributions to aid in Grant's election, ‘The Case of Spencer M. Clarke. ‘The relation of Spencer M. Clarke to the Treasury Printiug Bureaa is a matter of some specuiation just now. His resignation was sent to Secretary McCulloch some time ago, and it was generally sup- posed that Clarke was about to disappear for good, but he “stuck.” The next that was heard was that he had been granted two months’ leave of absence and George B. Macartee had been installed a8 locum fenens, vice Clarke. Following this rapldly was Another rumor that Claike had At iagt aud Mnally been disposed of, and that Macartee was made por manent head of the Bureau, This was denied with great warmth by Clarke's friends, who said he would surely resume his position at the expiration of fwo iQnths, But the limit of the vacation term has long since been QVerstepped, and still Clarke is merely acting a3 dispursiig Agent of the Treasury extén- sion, while Macartee remains superintendent of the Printing Bureau. This naturally creates curiosity aad surprise. The trath really seems to be that Clarke will not get back to his old post, though whether Macartee is to hold it permanently is rather less certain, Mr. Macartee has discharged the du- ties of the office with great skill and satisfaction thus far, and would seem entitled by experience and merit to be continued at the head of the bureau, It is rumored, however, that Mr. McCulloch has a friend, who is also a particular friend of Clarke, upon whom he is anxious to bestow the office, There is considerable intriguing going on about the matter, and it ts diMcuit to make out what will be the issue, Death of the Surveyor General of New Mexico.

The Atlantic Yacht Club—The Race for the Champion Pennant—The Sioops Do Not Start—Girand Contest Between the Mystic and the Loim=The Latter Declared the Winner. Raw and cold, the morning yesterday was any- thing but inviting, and though a spigndid breeze | awakened the liveliest expegtatiens of an exciting tate, few but those immediately interested in the contest would have relished the prospect of the win- try blast which, by the way, blew sharp and vigor- ously keen, It was not surprising, therefore, that whale to yachtmen the greatest pleasure was in the prospective, not only from the premonitory symp- toms of the wind, but that the surrounding circuim- stances warranted the anticipation of a fine display. * ee aioe Pe Re Pat sea Tne piissengers who lett the pler at Wall sureec yes- terday morning were limited in namber and wrapped up in the smallest compass that it was possible for human beings to have been contined, * 1 ‘Che race for the champion pennani of the club has now DAR the occasion of three coutesia, The Lois was the fret Winner of her class, but her riya, the Myatte, being v.62 absent, subsequently sené forth her challenge, which the ower of the Lois at once accepted. On the 6th inst, (ue two yachts com. peted. The race was hotly contested, and through- out the most skilful management was dispiayed. Both boats were becalmed outside\ the Narrows, ‘The Mystic, however, reached the stakeboat over two hours in advance of her opponent, @ad accord- ingly claimed the pennant. Captain Lyman disputed the race, contending that it was limited to five hours, but Captain Sparkman, of the Mystic, resting on the terins of the agreement, in which no speci- fled time for the contest was declared, was awarded the pennant. Probably not satisfied with the result of the competition, Captain Lyman threw down the gauntlet, and Captain Sparkman, walving the thirty days’ retention of the prize, at once as- sented to another trial, in order to bring matters to aciose. The match was accordingly looked forward to with considerable interest, which was not a litle augmented when it was known that the Gracie (champion), Addie V., Sadie and Corning were also to compete for the honors of their class. Shortly after twelve o'clock the steamer J. Chase arrived at Gowanus bay with her chiliy freight, and not a little Le pipet was experienced when it was ascertained that the sloops would not start, the Sadie and Corning being absent. It appeared that the Sadie, which was to have come from Bristol, was detained by the storm, and tho others consented to abandon the race, The competition between the schooners, therefore, Was ali that was to be decided, and after some liitle preliminaries had been arranged the yachts were got in readiness for the start, The regulations under which the yacuts ran were as folows:—Siakeboat to he anchored off Delaphiline Honse; boats to be In line at twelve o'clock; the course being to Southwest Spit, turn about from east to west and return, ‘The rules also set forth that the Lois should be entitled to windward at the start and (hat the race should be satled under the rules of the “Champion regulations of the Atlantic Yacht Ciub.”” The yachts were to be drawn in line on the first whistle m the steamboat and to start on the second whistle, All questions were to be decided by the judges, they basing their decisions upon the written agreement, When the steamer sighted the rivals in Gowanus bay one of them—the Lois—soo: made preparations and made for the pce of de ture, while the Mystic, being tugged, showed first appearance opposite the Delaphline House. The Lois soon completed her brief tack, dropped anchor and awaited the signal. ‘The a at —— stood as follows:— Yachts fons. Owners, Lois. Captain Lyman. Myst 5 . Captain Sparkman, ‘At twenty past twelve o'clock the steamer blew the first signal for preparation, and flve minutes after a shrill blast warned the yachts to depart. The Mystic got off beautifully, While the Lois was somewhat dlintory in getting clear, The wind was blowing fresh from the southwest, and the Mystic shot ahead with tnreasing head, while the Lois unfortunately peries ars flying jib halyards which somewhat her outward = pro- gress. Everytiing, however, was quickly got to rights, and the competitors glided on, wing behind them the brightest auticipations of a hotly contested race. In this manner the yachts left their maybe | point, but when geting tairly in the breeze the Mystic experienced considerable difficulty in letting down the centre board, and owing t ats naforeseon cireumstance Lully ten minutes wag jue in making arrangements In that yosyecy complete, tage of th The Lois was not slow’ (wy take ad avete fi FOF, ontpointing her aay hi | two degrees, she rushed quickly to the front, and the wind now becoming stronger, gained considera- bon Faselpg Bedioe’s Island he Lois was cer- talaly half a mile ahead, but the Mystic, going to work with a will, gradually crept up and lessened the distance between them. ‘The Lois in ler tirst tack shot right for the Narrows and, speedily sending up her fore gaff topsail, rushed forward ata rapid speed. The wind had now strengthened, so much so, indeed, that the Lois ran with her rai! right under the water, and passing Coney Island she took in her galt to; he Mystic was now nearly a mile and a half in the rear, but to all appearance was coming stealily and was evidently creeping up on her fast speeding Spponent The yachts passed the Southwest Spit in ¢ following order:— Ss 25 Approae ing the Spit the Lois made but one tack, while the Mystic, when almost completing her course, Was again obliged to turn about, by which she must have lost not less than three minutes. Once round, however, she cut through the water and sailed beautifully, and although her first mishap had virtually deprived her of a competitor, hopes in her favor were not yet abandoned as she caught the wind and glided majestically through the waves. Tho Lois, in returning, hanied close to the wind and |. made toward the west of the West Bank, evidently taking advantage of the slackening tide, but never- theless gave the bank a wide berth. The Mystic hugged the bank closely, and now, as the stn shone forth in all ite refulgence, chasing the fog in blauk dismay, she appeared in all her beat with every inch of canvas set and tte | along like an arrow. No iucident worthy of remar! occurred during the run for the stakeboat, The Lois was evidently the winner, although the Mystic made rapid progress approaching the Narrows. Yet the breeze which had sent the Lois fying through the entrance now died away as the Mystic hu a the Staten Isiand shore, The race was over lon the strong breeze bad favor the Lois, and with every sail bn) its utmost capacity she pointed tow: stakebuat, The interest iu the race had long since died out. Indeed when the yachts first quitt the Narrows the surmises of the Pees, were justined in predicting the success of the Lois; for, however the mishap ofthe Mystic may haye detained her, it ‘waa evideut that with such @ breeze as prevailed the Low, being @ larger boat, must fuwlly win tie contest, Alter passing the Narrows the wind partially died out, and the yachts passed the final stakebout in the following order:-— Min, Sor, 5 Mystic. 4 a out the F on botit Had the wind been liguter the record of the to is the Few comments are necess Most skilfti management was displaye aties. race would perhaps lave been different; but, as it was, the Lois bore away the pennant, having com- ye ‘Throw poted for tink masterly siyle.

Both yachts acquitted themselves ad- mirably, and, althongh there could be but one winner, the race must stand as a record of fine sailing and an excellent display of skill, Wien the yachts were brought to anchor Captain Sparkmaa, who held the pennant, at once proceeded to the Lois and nobly the victorious symbol, and having congratulated Captain Lyman upon his success pra- posed his health, which was warmly received by those present. Before the party separated, however, Captoin Sparkman tendered his challenge to compete for the Much-honored pennant next spri Nor w Captain Lyman less spirited in responding. thus euded the third race for the champion | of the Atiantic Yacht Ciub—a eiud so far chara ized by entiusiasm, spirit and success. “TeLEORAPHAG NEWS (TEMS.
