Gen. Tillson finally was forced to garrison the county, action which caused an energetic protest from the citizens, In reply Gen. Tillson has given the fullest proof of the extraordinary extent and frequency of the crimes, and has perfectly justified the measures he adopted.

The Police Commissioners remain firm in their refusal to obey the Governor's summons, and Goy. Swaan, it is said, will proceed with a trial of the charges against them whether or Dot counsel or witnesses are heard in their dofense, It now appears that the worst contingency should be au adjudication by the Courts, and not in any case a Tosort to useless violence. Alluding to the Maryland troubles, and apparently upon the authority of the President, the Washington correspondent of The Times says : ‘;m-&flsw%&tl?unflmmfio the worst, aad th g X, jof Exeoutive call upon of g the laws of the State, that call will be to Tes) prompuly, without 1o the political status of the case.” Could we believe Mr. Johnson capable of acting without reference to party, and impartially discharg- ing bis duty, we should be rejoiced. But if be in- tends to uphold Gov. Bwann, why did he not sustain Gov. Wells? In what respeot is the Governor of Macyland better than the Governor of Louisiana? In Louisiana, Mr. Johnson choosos to act as if the Governor did not exist, and forbids the military to in- terfore with the arrest of the members of the Conven- tion legally called by the Governor. In Maryland, he appoars to promise an army before the Governor bas asked it It is plain that the President values the law only as the instrument of his polioy, and takes it up and throws it down just as his vrejudioes deter- | benefit thereby a mine. What reason can he give for this discrimina- tion? Is he candid enongh to admit that he crushed Gov. Wells because he is a Radical, and supports Gov. Swann because—he is not ? e — OUR CITY'S VOTE. The Republican-Union State Ticket bad fully 55,000 average majority last year in the countics lying above the Highlands; while the six counties below Putnam and Orange gave an adverse majority of nearly 26,000 No intelligent person who has traversed the raral districts can doubt that Gov. Fenton will run much farther ahead above the Highlands than our State Tick- ot did last year, In fact, it is practicully admitted by bis adversarice that he cau only be defoated by an enormous, unprecedented majority against him in this City and its immediate vicinity. The next Congress is given up by the Jobnsgnites, Tho October elections have placed it irreversibly and heavily against them. The majority of over 50 members already scored up against them is certain to bo largely increased by the returns next month from Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri aud Kansas. They do not and cannot hops to earry our State Legis- lature. Yet they seek to koep alive a desperate hope that they may mar the completeness of the National victory by defeating Gov. Fenton. Their relianco for this is entirely on the vote of our City and its suburbs, Thers is no novelty inthis, Even so long ago as 1248 it was vaunted that the City voto would give this State to Gen. Cass. When the votes were counted, it appeared that Gen. Taylor had carried the City by a positive majority over Cass and Van Buren together, and the State by a plurality excoeding One Hundred Thousand. And, ever since the Republican party was organized, wo have had annual calculations that it would be overwhelmed in the State by the vote of the City—a caleulation which has very rarely, and only under peculiar circumstances, been justified by the result. Tn 1860, a fusion of all parties opposed to the Re- publicans was here effected, and woney poured out like water to insure its success. Fifty Thousand ma- jority in the City was claimed for it in advauce. It cnrried the City by u Lousand majority, yet was beaten in th Y In 1354, asimilar effor 103 of a trivmph secured (in our so . sy IIOUT WaS in power; he snts for the two sums nd hie canvassed the State Everything was natarali s brought to the wore in the fic and the votes of the s how manipulated to our d was confidently claime! saud majority for Mo or rather, to count—T It was male even Thousand egate number retur: rom this City fell a fraction short of One Hu and Ten Thousaud. b Since then, great improvements Lave been made in t illegal and double voting. g by guess are eo- on is registered himsolf to a one illegal our safegnards ag: Voting on certificates and regist: tirely abolished.

We did not think it brave or wise in Congress to | have aceepted tus disingenuons complication by | which at the last moment of the session its commit- | tecs of conference furced the passage in one bill of two such wasteful measures as the zation of reave of the salaries members, rmer would be more welcoms to | if it wers tain that the just ing to the soldier were in any fair proportion & compensation for its prodigal drain upon the overloided tax-payers of the land, rich and poor. The latter was out of plaee, and might well have been postponed till a more reasonable and economic provision could bave been porfected. Had both these measures been left to future deliberation, 1o considerable mass of the people could have folt rightfully grieved, and the country would have been saved millions. The adversaries of the majority in Congress are now misquoting these two acts in one as measures purely Radical. But the facts as they stand on the record show indisputably that both parties are alike obnoxious to the charge, if charge it be, that Congress paid millions to the soldiers in order to gain thon- sands for itself. On the question of ivereased compensation, the name of nearly every lead- ing Democrat in Semate and House is re- corded in favor; men of both parties voted for it in committee; while it is confeasedly true that the strongest opposition in debate, and the great majority of dissent on a close vote, came from members of the Republican party. On the substitute amendment offered by Mr. Henderson of Missouri (see Congress- ional Globe, July 23), Senator Hendricks (Democrat) of Indiana, among others, spoke in favor of increased salaries; and the amendment and vote upon the final agreoment were as follows, with the names of John- son men and Democrats italicized: And be it further enacted, That the com) Senator, Kepresentative and ato in 5,000 per annum, to bo computed from the present Congress, and, in addition_thereto, mil at the rate 575 centa per mile, to ba estimated by the routs usually traveled in going to and returning from each regular seasion ; but nothing mfi contmned -ufl affeot mileage accounts al- ready ncorned under existing laws : THE INCRE bounties and the Of the two, the the mass of the pe nsation of each ‘ongress shall bo rst day of the leage asooun!

Chiof and even vohement opponents of the bill in this ocondition were Senators Wade. Wilson gud says John Pesky, | that | late | | forget the | answers all talk of the hanging of Jefl. Davia by Yates, all well-known and leading Republicans. No Democrat spoke against the Dbill, while Mesars, McDougall of California, and Doolittle of Wisgonsin, Democrats, or supporters of the Presi- dent’s policy, openly favored increased salarics, 1t is also worthy of attentive note that Mr. Reverdy Johnson, an eminent counselor on the Democratic side, explicitly declared that, if the bill was wrong, both parties were to blame, The vote on agreement to the confirencesreport was as follows: YEAs—Messrs. Buckalew, Conncss, Corvean, Davie, Doolittle, Edmunds, Fessenden, Foster, Guthric, Heuderson, Howard, MeDougall, Morgan, Norton, Poland, Pomeroy, Ram- ddle, Sherman, Sprague, Stewnrt, Sumner, Vau Winkle nthony. Chandller, Creswcll, Harris, Howe, (ye, loss, Trumbull, Wade, Willey, Wilson G ety Ao Neamith, Aol and Wrght 1. No Democrat, it is evident, voted in the negative; and it scems equally plain that nono so desired. Af- ter a new conforence, the bill went to the House on its passage, the Senate having agreed as a finality to couple the two measures of bounty and compensation. The House still testified its dizapproval of the latter clause of the bil. Mr. Lawrence (Republican) of Ohio, asked for a separate vote on the two prop- ositions; buf the motion, it appears, was not in order, Mr. Samuel J. Randall (Democrat) of Penn- sylvania ealled to order Mr. A. C. Harding (Repub- lican) of Illinois for declaring it an unpraisowortly ox- ercise of capacity to placo the Houso in the condition of voting either to inereaso its salarics or to equalize the bounties. Messrs. Broomall of Pennsylvania, Morrill of Vermont, Conkling of New-York, and Wilson of lowa, alike spoke and voted against the bill, while Niblack of Indiana and Randall of Peonnsylvania, both Democrats, contended in its favor. The question was at last forced to a remarkably close vote: 1. Anderson, Banks, Barker, Denjamin, Bergen, & Diriggs, Farnsworth, ‘orry, Glowsbrenner, vimes, Hoteh: .

Compared to their numbers, o far alone is often sufficient to prove the truth of the maxim. The peoplo will curse the monopolizing spec- ulators in grain when prices arc high, whether the declaration that they shall do it bo considered by them imporative or wot. To the rich, the high price of breadstuffs and of bread may be of no great im- portance. Perhaps many of them profit largely by the rise. To tho poor it is far otherwize, For to them bread is the staff of life—their principal articlo of food. With good, wholesome bread in plenty, the poor can, if need be, eubsist, with but a moderate supply of animal food, however desirable it may be that, by the avails of their labor, they shall have the means to commaud meat as well as bread. THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. A London dispatch, ‘dated yesterday, informs us that according to the latest reports from Candia a torrible battle had taken place, and that after four days heayy fighting tho Christian forces repulsed the Turkish army. Of the results of the victory, and of the losses on either side, nothing is said, and it is im- possible, therefore, to state what influence the battle may bave on the final issue of the insurrection. It should also be borne in mind that the Turkish and Groek dispatches from Cendia differ even more widoly than is common in the war bulletins of opposing par- ties. Further information must, therefore, bo awaited beforo a clear idea can be gained of the recent victory of the Christian insurgents. If the defcat of the Turks was decisive, the influence of the battle upon the political salvation of Turkey may be very matked. In Epirus and Thessaly all the preparations for a generul rise has been made, and a decisive victory of the Candians would probably call the whole peopls of these two provinces to arms. Still more ominous than the chronic dissatisfaction of the Christian provinces is the attitude of the offi- cial Russian press. Thoy openly take side with the insurgents, and unreservedly discuss the approaching dissoluticn of the Turkish Empire. DBeing couscious of their natural strength, and anxious to repair as much as possible the defeat suffered in the Crimean war, the Government and people of Russia foel a nat- ural pride in the increasing signs of a speedy collapse of Turkey, aud delight in defying the resistance of the Western Powers. A war against England and France, on account of the Eastern question, would be extromely popular among all classes of the popula- tion, and would now stand a much better prospect of a successful issue than the Crimean war, The Powers of Western Europe are again preparing to dispute the advance of Russiain the East, Both Eugland and France openly side with Turkey against the Christian incurgents in Candia, and the new French Ministet of Foreign Affairs has warned Greece not to take sy part in the struggle. France, in par- ticular, is very eagerly engaged in bringing about an- other anti-Ru n alliance. It is therefore probable that a general riso of the Christians in European Tur- key would at once lead to a most serious European greater proportion of Republicans voted against the bill than Democrats. It is plain that were enough Democrats in favor of the incrense of salaries to have socured its defeat by the comfortable majority of 14,had they been so disposed, while twice as many Republieans refused to vote as there are Democrats in the House. Let our opponents, therefore, cease to apply the falsehood that this tnwise measure was a ** Radical” We have shown that in Committee aud on three al occasions in House and Senate the active Domo- crats of either body voted for it.

The avnnal meeting of the Freedman's Commis- sion takes place this evening ‘at half past soven, at the Cooper Institute. It will be presided over by Chief-Justice Chase, and Henry Ward Beecher and Major-Gen. 0. 0. Howard have positively promised to speak. In addition to these names, Geo, Wm, Curtis, the Hon. T. J.

Certainly no instructions to carry out ro- cent decision on the subject were sent to Mr. fl.' Inst Thursday. That is not the day on which the State Department communicatzs by stecmer; nor is there anything new in the statement that the Juarez Govornment will be recognized, and no other. It iy already recogntead in avery form known to diglmy,, and.the usages of nations. < There has been 1o recent meeting between the President, Gen. Grant and Sccretary Seward, at which, a3 is alleged, thq determined to as 8 measure of the Administration, that we pay the French claims in Mexico and receive Mexican territory in exchange, probubly in the neighborhood of Guayumas. There was no meeting of these three fialgtIemen on the day, nor did they et any other time cliberate on the subject. After diligent inquiry, it cannot be ascertained that there i3 an; lmtlfin 2-— recent reports on tha above-named subjects, and, therefore, those who bave been led to expeet mani- fostoes concerning them will be disappointed. A romor wils in official circles that Prosident Johnson will by Friday issue a manifesto announcing tho expiration of the time conceded by this Govern- ment to the French forces to withdraw their blockade from Mexican ports, and assuming on the part of the United States a protectorate over the Mexican Repub- lic. Itis & matter of much speculation whether the Juarez or s factions will be ized. It is supposed that the visit of the Catholic bishops to the President this afternoon was made in the interests of the latter party. Robert J. Walker, Lewis Campbell, the present Minister to Mexico, and Gens. Crawford aud Sturm will be granted aadience with the Presi- dent to-morrow morning. It is stated advices have been received here to the effect that Gen. Castelnau has stopped the embarkation of French troops at Vera Cruz, ard that the intended withdrawa! of Maximilian on the 1st of November has been postponed. To-day was Cabinet meeting day; consequently fow outsiders were admitted to interviews with his Excellehcy. Gov. Swann of Maryland arrived hero this morning, and had interviews with the President and Gen. Grant. Swann is evidently demoralized, and unless be can induce the President to fill Fort McHenry with United States troops, he will dis- imiss his chacges against the Baltimore Police Com- missioners Gens. Graat, Schofield and Rolling, Govs. mm of Virginia and 8wann of Maryland met the ut to-day, after the Cabinet meeting, and were in con- saltation an hour. Rumors say they were canvassing the expediency of coucentrating troops in Baltimore. It is not known definitely whether an order to effece this object has been issued or not, but it is stated that the President will respond to auy cdll Gov. Swann may make, and that he will recogaize the Governor as the aathority of the State. Gen. Cauby sends word hore to-night from Baltimore that he anti- cipatos no difficulties.
