The October fin;:timk;}lm next Tuesday, Oct. 9; and if it were possible to do or say sught that would gain one vote in either Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana or Iows, for the Republican-Union candidates, we would like to know how. If there bo a single Republican voter in either State now absent from homs in this City or elsewhere, we entreat him to g0 bome forthwith, and not risk the chances of starting with barely time to reach the polls. The cause noeds your influence snd efforts as well as your vote. Do not say, ** There will be enough without me;" for you cannot be sure of that; and we need the moral effect of such a crusher as was given by MaINg. If we suc- oeed by reduced majorities our adversaries will be inspirited and strengthened for the November con- test. There is urgent moed that our last vote be polled, oven in distriots where the result is beyond peradventure. Republicans of the great Middlo States! you bear a fearful but glorious responsibility. We will not dis- trust you—we repose implicit faith in you. Bring out your very last voter next Tuesda; ‘We publish in our Washington dispatches important provisions of the law relating to Southern Homestead lands. The benefits of the law are extended to all citizens, without distinetion of color. A circular issued by the Controller to the Super- visors of each County, and printed elsewhere, describes the State taxes to be levied, and gives the property val- uation and tax to each county for the current year. The falsehood which The World has done its best to circulate, that colored soldiers get $300 additional bounty, while white soldiers receive but $100, is branded again by the letter of Thaddeus Stevens in another colump. Further account is given of the vil* lainous forgeries which the Copperhoads are trying to impose on the voters of Pennsyivania. — The Sandusky Regi Finnefrock, the Democratic candidate for Congress in that (IXth) District, has declared that he would take his seat in the Rebel House, if one should be organ- ized on the plan foreshadowed by Andrew Johnson. The following is The Register's statement: Major L. A. Lyor of Norwalk, in nee of several well known gentlemen of Erie County, asked Mr. F. the following n: . Bupposs, at the opening of the XLth Congress, the members from th 'y late Rebel States should be refused seats beonuse of their failure to comply with the terms of the Constitutions Amendment, and those Southern membees clect abould assemblo in o separate place with enough Northern Democratic members to form & quorum, to which body 1oould you present your creden tials, and which would you join " Mr. Finpefrock, after inéffectual efforts to dodge the question. made the following reply: “If I beliey could depend on those Southern mewbirs to support the Constitution, 1 present my credentials and join the majority.” The Democrats of the Vth Maryland District have nominated Frederick Stone for Congress, Benja- min G. Harris, for years the representative of the bit- terest secession element of the State, retiring from the field altogether. The District has now three candi- dates on the side of the President, against William J. Albert, who supports Cougress radically. These are Montgomery Blair, who bas been nominated by the Conservatives; Frederick Stone, who stands for the Harris Democrats, and Gen. Bowie, who has come out as an independent candidate. Under these cir- cumstances, the chances of Mr. Blair's success are meager, and his reward looks small indeed compared to the moral enormity of his efforts to secure a safe nomination for eitber the United States Benate or House. No one will grieve if he loses both, The Bedford Gazette is one of the foremost organs of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, and has ever been in thorongh sympathy with its candidate for Governor, Heister Clymer. The fact that it recently published, with evident sympatby, a eulogy on J. Wilkes Booth as having *Iaid down his life for his country,” was promptly reported by telegraph, but discredited by certain Democratic journals. To end all controversy on the subject, we print exactly what was said by The Gazette—as follows: + A meeting of the true and tried Democtacy was held in the Court- House , on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 22, 1866, That firm and reliable Democrat, Col. Joseph W.” Tate, was unanimously chosen President of the meeting. After sev: eral ble and eloquent addresses had been delivered. on motion of tho Hon. Benjumin ¥. Myers, editor of The Bedford Gazette, and it tie ¢andidate for Benator in that Distriet, ‘ate was called upon to address the meeting. The Colonel his usual able and cloquent manner.” After discus- the d.i’ the Colonel eloquently exclaimed: “ T believe that Providence had a hand in the re- moval of Abraham Lincoln. 1 believe that the name of J. Wilkes Booth will live; that he laid down his life Jor his country, like Winklereid. Bwitzerland had her ‘Winklereid apd her William Tell; Scotland had ber Robert Bruce, and America her Booth. The time is coming when there will be & monument erected to Booth higher thaw the spire of Lincoln, who sleeps beneath the sod of Illinois." " — We do not deem any comment necessary. P — Col. Tesy Vb the lssuies of The Ezpress has the following paragraph: Tag TRIBUNE trumps up, as if for electioneering purposes, the report of the Military Commission appointed to investigate the recent New-Orleans riot. The Herald, at the same time, publishes Mayor Monroe's official version.” It then publishes as the substance of the report a dozen lines from our editorial com- ment, and compares it with the brief telegraphic ab- stract which The Herald gave of Mayor Monroe's ac- count. ‘Here is an important document, covering sn entire page of Tas TRIBUNE, giving the result of an official investigation into one of the greatest atrocities of the century, almost ignored! Democratic jour- nals like The Ezpress are mot newspapers, for the reason that they suppress the news when it tells against their party. mm;h:hflm paper in the m‘-n'qw print the Report Militpry Dot issue it for electioneering p \fl snd startling news, for which the % impatiently waiting,, On the night we telographed the main to United States, and would i its vordiot boon in favor of th9 e o er (Ohio) states that Thomas I, | of the Fivonis us is news. That this irresistible evidence of the com- plete subserviency of Andrew Johnson to the Rebel policy will go before the people in the elections we concede, and the more facts that enter into the can- vaas the better will we be satisfied. In like manner, | Mr. Johnsou's late tour will be used in the campaign; | and yot we cheerfully opened our columns to full re- ports of his speeches. W should gladly do so again. 1f the fuets which crowd our columns bave s tendency to increase Union majowties, The Exzpress must blame Trath—the old and worst enemy of its cause. e—— OUR CITY. The members of the Republican-Union Associations of our City are called to meet in their several Assem- bly Diatricts on Monday evening noxt for the choice of delegates to their County, Judicial, Congress and Assembly Nominating Conventions, which are to meet respectively on the Tuesday, Wedneaday, Thurs- day and Friday evenings of next week. Bhould har- mony prevail, our nominations will be commenoced and completed within the week about to open. And the charscter of thoso nominations will largely influence the results of the canvass. This City is tho strongbold of the imposture which misnames itself Democracy, while its vital, avowad purpose is the perpetuation of Caste and Monopoly in the distribution of political power. Democracy, say the dictionaries, is government by the whole peo- ple: but the swindle which here usurps the name is based on the assumption that mote than half the peo- plo of several States, and a considerablo minority in all, shall be utterly and forever excluded from all voice in making and executing the laws whereby they are governed. ** No Taxation without Representation !" ory our Democrats; meaning that the Rebels must be allowed to vote because they are taxed; yet those very Rebels tax the loyal Blacks of Louisiana and Toxas to oducate White children, refusing to these tax-payers & penny of their own money for the educa- tion of their own children; and Sham Democracy says this is right. To love and champion the Rebels who sought to dissolve the Union, and at the same time calumniate, degrade and trample on the loyal Blacks who fought to preserve that Union, is the essence of Sham Democracy. The ignorance, -the vice, the brutality, here massed are fearfully powerful. ;The Citizens' Association esti- mates that there are Sixty Thousand Voters in this City who, in one way or another, have a personal interest in misgovernment. There is no reason to ex- pect that the great army of thieves and law-defying ruffians who burrow here will vote for good govern- ment; since such a government would soon stop their career. And the multitudes who live by pandering to others' vice and debauchery are natural enemies of good government. The dance-houses, dens of lewd- ness and law-defying groggeries of our City (and their name is Legion) are nurserica and recruiting-stations of S8ham Democracy. And, so long as nearly a full half the voters of our City have a personal interest in misgovernment, wo cannot expect to carry majorities for any organization substantially identical i ideas and objeots with the Republican-Union party. Yet we can make great inroads on the heavy ma- jorities hitherto rolled up against us by our adversa- ries, 2nd ought to make them. Give us a list of can- didates whom the public will recognise as eminently upright, worthy aud capable, aud we can concentrats upon them the votes of our better citizens to an unex- ampled extent. The tax-payers of our City chafe un- der the domination of the municipal *‘ Ring;" they know that they are robbed enormously by our Demo- oratic misrulers: they domot feel sure that they can escape robbery by displacing those cormorants. If we put up jobbers and scramblers for horse railroads and other plunder, or those known as their tools, we shall be badly beaten; but let our candidates be widely known as of the opposite breed, and they will receive thousands of votes bitherto cast against us. Men and brothren ! hear and heed us! Resolve | now to attend the Primary Meeting in your district next Monday evening, and there support delegates whose characters give assurance that they will nomi- | nate such candidates as ought to be, and therefure can be, elected. _— ORDER OR ANARCHY. 1t is the misfortune of many public men, with the President st the head of them, that they have no ides of a radical and general change of national opin- ion. Twenty-five years ago, an Abolitionist was de- nounced as a fanatic in the most respectable quarters —in Courts of Justice. Legislatures, Congresses and oburches, not to mention the political conventions and the porter-houses; while nine commercial men out of ten united to swell the chorus of censure. | Such petulance was not then absolutely foolish: for it had a real object and & genuine though indefensible purpose; but it is somewhat of a tax upon our pa- tience to listen now to the untimely repetition of nicknames applied with ludicrous solemnity or undig- nified anger to large majority of the inhabitants of the country, Slavery is abolished. An intelligent man like Mr. Peter Cooper, whose letter to Mr. Johu- son we were glad the other day to publish, accepts the fact, takes his stand upon it, and makes no attempt to get round it, under it, or over it. He is content to ask himself and others what new public and private | duties are to be inferred from this fundamental social change; while cowards are shrieking their apprehen- sions, while Copperhead politicians are bewailing the alteration, while indomitable Southern aristocrats are secking to save some fragment of irresponsible au- thority out of the fire, this honorable New-York mer. chant—we hope that we have many like him—begins immediately and conscientiously to inquire what leg- islation is needed to render these freedmen in name really and truly freedmen in fact. ‘We make s note of this; because we am sure that the prosperity and safety of the country demand a general and hearty acquiescence in the vital change which the violence of secession rendered it impossible longer to postpone. Now the question comes up, in naked simplicity, whether we are to be apostates to those principles of democracy which we profess to revere, or whether we shall courageously carry them ott to their fullest extent. To do this, we admit, requires a little ! bravery. Already, the alarmists are bringing out their largest and most ingeniously horrible bug-bears. Mayor Wood rides this monster and Senator Doolittle that; Gen. Dix has bis doubts; and while Mr. Weed nods as gravely as Lord Burleigh, The Times and The World, great newspapers and little ones, are proud to nod in such excellent company. These gentleinen and these Journals will not see that treasonous hos- tility to the United States has varied its tactics and is now seeking to postpone peace, in the hope that some- thing diabolical may turn up by grand and petty per secution of the freedman. The advantage of thisis palpable. Just so long as there is anything to dispute about, they keep up & quasi condition as a superior class; they keep down the vital principle of scial equality and of equality before the law; they color legislation to suit their own purposes; and they can always, whenever they are ready for another rebellion, have a subject of dispute with the intelligent and really Republican masses of the North. While they keep * the social power,” which Mr. Jobnson once said ** must be destroyed,” they can at any time put their States into a position of antagonism to the Gen- eral Government, voting always in cliques and in families; by their votes swaying the destinies of their respective Btates, and making chronio the quarrel be- tween truth and falsehood, equity and injustice, actual and merely nominal freedom. It is useless to talk of saything as *‘settled” while Southern society is in thig unfized and abnormal condition. *‘Settled” is & beautiful word; but we have heard it too often to be deceived by it now. Things were ‘‘settled” when Qongress threw out the anti-Slavery petitions—when the Fugitive Slave law was passed—when the Com- promise measures were munufactured into statutes— when Judge Taney gave his great Dred Scott decision— when Mr. Buchanan waa elected to the Presidency. We played over and over again the childish game of jack-in-a-box; we pressed down the little joker, and instantly he was up again as fresh and lively as ever. All our flax, and we had a plenty of it, did n’t put out the fire. If anything, matters are now more compli- cated than ever, because we have a nominal emanci- pation which cruelty and hatred, prejudice and rage, rovenge aud obstinacy, will all combine to make the bitterest and the most dangerous of delusions. The only safety is in ** establishing justice;" but, if we are to wait for it until the ex-patrisrchs see fit to give it to us, wo may have anotber and still suother insur- roction before the desirable consummation. The Maryland soldiors, true to the Union, the other day resolved in Baltimore ** that having fonght four years to beat down treason and treachery, they were prepared to fight four moro sooner than patch up apeace by cowardly compromise.” Andy Johu- son wrote, last week, to his political friends in Knox- ville, that ** designing bad men" are plotting another ++ digsolution of the Union,” Tho *‘friends” of the Administration are threatening us with a Siamese Congress—with that very worst form of anarohy, & double Legislature. Industry is retarded, enterprise is hindered, the country is kept in an uneasy and feverish condition by the determination of a few men at the North, of a larger number at the South, to re- construct out of the fragments to which the war has reduced it the old oligarchy, with its rottenborough system of representation, with its heathenish adher- ence to caste, with its grasping appropriation of the bettor moiety of the wages of its producing class, with its monopoly of power both at home and in Washington. Our only safeguard against tho violent outbreaks which this unsatisfactory condition of affairs renders not improbable is to be found in the election of a House of Ropresentatives whioh can neither be bullied, nor bribed, nor intimidated by vetoes, nor controlled by faction. From this point of view, we consider the coming Congressional clections the most important sinoe the establishment of the Government. Everything depends upon the quality of the members tobe elected; but in this, as in all other political emergencies, wé beliove the great American people are to be trusted. “LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE AND ON THIS." The strength of the Report of the Military Com- mission appointed by Gen. Sheridan to investigate the causes of the New-Orleans massacre, lies less in its direct statementa, strong and startling as they are, than in the accumulative force of the evidence it pre- sents. The report is an uninterrupted chain of facts and logic which is injured by quotation. Wo give, however, for general instruction, a few of the instan- ces in which Mr. Johnson's defense of the rioters is contradicted by the Commission. MR, JOHNSON. THR REPORT.

To estop comproversy as to which party gained in the Town Eleetions of Monday, we give below a list of all the towns which voted on that day, so far as we have returns, We have before us The Hartford Times, New-Haven Register, and other Copperhead organs, and give them all they claim—often, we are confi- dent, incorrectly.

Thus, Danbury, which was lost at the State Election, is now regained by 130 majority; and the majorities in New-London, Stamford, Meri- den, and other such towns, are unususlly heavy. No fair man who scrutinizes the returns as we bave done can doubt that the people of Connecticut are more decidedly Republican than they were last April. —— NEW-JERSEY—~IIIA DISTRICT. There are many faint-hearted people who believe the Union candidate in the I11d Distriet for Congress, the Hon. John Bavidson, cannot be elected, and, as a consequence, not only do nothing themselves, but, by their croaking, induce others to do as they do. A careful comparison of the vote of the District for four years back will at once show how unfounded this belief is: Countios Middiesex Union Somerset . Hunterdon Warren .. Middlesex Unioa... Bomerset Hunterdon Warren .. Democratic majority in the District.... 4,862 1865. Middlesex 3,470 91 Union.. 2,808 32 Somerset 2,022 2,22 203 Hunterdon 3,004 4,369 1,975 Warren . . 2,249 3,582 1,333 Democratic majority in the District.... 2,934 Wa are justified in saying that, if the New Registry and Sunset acts are properly enforced, they will cut off illegal votes enough to still further reduce the majority at least 700; leaving to be overcome about 200 majc The influx of Union men into Middle- sex and Union Counties, who vote this November for the first time, will not only overcome the 200 majority, but leave us amajority of 150 or thereabouts. There are many other changes going on in the District which will certaioly increase these figures. Mr. Davidson is working with the most intense energy. 1f our friendsin Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset, will buckle on their armor, and, under the determined lead of their candidate, urge on the battle, we have no fears of the result. Mr. Davidsou is visiting and speaking in every sec- tion of the District, and we urge not only that the Union men turn out, but that they bring their Demo- cratic neighbors to hear him. Unionists of the IIId District! we are confident that, if you all work with energy and determination, you can elect your candidate. Shall it be done? NOTES ON CANVASS, THE The World says of the Pennsylvania Election: o trust that none of our Democratio friends will stay from the polls under the m‘i‘mmn that the Hon. Helster Clyrmer 18 sure of being elected. 'This is the great danger. A recent canvyss of the State puts Clymer's majority at 15,000 ; Dut that is not half large enough in a State which polled nearly 00,000 votes in 1864, See 10 if, men of Pennsylvania! that no Democrat fails to deposit his ballot on Tuesday " —Wa beg leave to indorse The World's caution. If any Pennsylvania Copperhead should refrain from voting next Tuesday under the impression that “Clymer issure of being elected,” he will miss it woefully. We exhort him to vote, under the assurance that Clymer will have none tospare. And, while he is about it, let him be careful to vote for Legislature as well as Governor; for Cowan needs votes quite as badly as Clym The World thus chirrups to its friends in the States which vote next Tuesday: “1f the Democrats in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana_will 0 as well, i proportion to their vote last yoar, ae fid the Dem- ocrate in Mains o few weba rince, they have & to rejoice over next m&:{ night. An in¢rease of 25 per ceut on last year's vote s all that is needed.” Let The World take heart! We can assure it that its friends in Ohio, Pennsylvama, and Indiana, will ** do as well, in proporfion to their vote last year, as the Democrats of Maine did a fow weeks since.” Let us seo precisely how well that was, and what results in the October States it foreshadows: MaINE last year gave Gov. Cony 22,332 majority on & moderate vote. She has now given Gen. Chamber- lain 27,258, with about 700 votes in all to come in, which, if they run as they did last year, will increase his majority about 100, But let us call these even, and seo what is indicated as to the States about to vote. PENNSYLVANIA, on & moderate vote, gave Gen. Hartranft, who headed the Republican-Union ticket, 22,660 majority, If, on the fuller vote she will poll next Tuesday, she increases her majority in the same proportion as Maine has done, Gen. Geary's majority will be over 30,000, Omt0, on & moderate vote, gave Gen. Cox 29,936 majority for Governor. Should her increased vote to be polled next Tuesday be spportioned as that of Y I Maine was, our folks will have nearly 40,000 majority. Ixpraa held no general election last year, but her vote for County officers showed decided gains to the Republican side on the vote of 1864, when Gov. Mor- ton bad 20,393 majority, and President Lineoln 20,005, As the vote was then olose, it is not likely to be in- creased; 50 wo have uo right to oxpect mors than 20,000 majority. The Worid's da are good. e e Tue Johnsonized Domooracy of thik state are putting up Johnsonized Republicans to run for Congress, in districts like the Oneida, Cayuga, Allegany, Eseex, Washington, &o., where they haven't'the ghost of & chanco to succeed. This The World.calls “* putting up the very best men in thoir respective distriets;” which, whether true or otherwise, fsn't eomplimentary to those Democrats who are **dyed in the wool.” But the now converts fare vory differently in districts where the party expects to succeod. Mr, Ropert Gil- chriat, jr., was proposed for Representative in Con- gress from the Jersey City district, but met with littlo favor in the Demoeratic Primaries of his own city. Says The Daily News: A to Mr. Gilohrist, it is sufficient tosay that, whils slf partios estimate him 95 & most worthy citizen and a man of uy deniable ability, the Democracy of Jersey City at louat seom von- willing to take into full communion mch & recent political eon- vert as that gentlemian to be. —“Jess 30.” Yet they ran four out of five of that sort at the recent election in Maine, and got them boaten by an average of 6,000 majority. They are perfectly witling to run such in every district of this State north and west of Albany but the Buffalo. It is only in districts which they hope to carry that they aro fastidious.

SECOND APPEARANCE OF RISTORI IN QUEEN ELIZABETH. Another fine house greeted the second appearance of Madame Ristori in Elizabeth. Looking back upon the aoting of Ristori’s company, we have no praise for thoss censured in our previous article, but we can cordially com- mend the Burleigh of Signor Cesare Ristori. He is par- ticularly good in the last act, both in bis dress and in the manner in which he humors the childishness of the dyiog ueen. Q'l‘ho manner of 8ir Francis Drake more closely resem- bles that of a porter than of a bluff sailor, for Drake was a courtier a8 well as a “corsair.” Darinson_would be better were his Italian a little less unintel 0. Lord Howard looks the character excellently well; his dress, however, is somewhat too nice, considering that Elizabeth lays 8 stross upon its untidiness, and larly ob- jeets to the condition of his_boots, which, 80 far as we ‘could see, were immaculate. The ladies are good enough, and the admirable sketch of Maria Lambrun 18 nicely done. With the costumes no fault can be found; they are beautiful. Though we have said much and shall probably say more in condemnation of Ristori’s support, we would not de- prive them of rightful credit. Their virtue—and it s e great oup—consists in honesty of purpose. oy are in carnest. Details are never neglocted, situations are ot ruined by carelessness, and contemplation of the audience doea not enter into their conception . aro well drilled, and never offend, as do the majority of American stock companies. Their school in these respects is worthy of imitation. ‘We have but one adverse criticism to make uj Ris- tori. To auswer the calls of enthusiastic audiences is right enough, but why will she at the conclusion of each act, complotely destroy illusions by throwing aside charac- ter and appesnng wreathed in the'smiles of Madame Ris- tori ¥ it is ipartistic and therefore unworthy of so great & woman. Rachel did it! So much the worse the for Rachel. Five times in Elizabeth do we suffer a cruel dis- illusion, when taste could easily be sj the shock, were the curtain to rise upon the final tablesux. * The Queen isdead !
