They now Htand together, again contending for an undivided Union, not by wager of battle, but through the constituted forms of law, and propose to win : Klmira, N. Y., July 22, 18GS.-My DEAnGr.XEr.Ai.: 1 have receivea your reply to my letter of of last month. The political views which I expressed to you in my former letter I hitve enter tained for raonlliB past, although I have not deemed it necessary to make them gen erally known. My business ia not politics. True, I am now a government officer, but it is the flrit position of tlie kind 1 have ever held. I never asked for any office, and do not desire another. The situation of our national affairs, I regard with no ordinary degree of alarm. The chief causes for this anxiety may be rewl in the proceedings of Congress. The unconstitutional and revolutionary mea sures of that national body should excite the uravest apprehensions of danger for the institutions of our country, and' judg ing from my own oWrvations and Ihe ex pressions of others, 1 believe thii opinion, to be shared in by many, who like myself, j formerly supported tlie Republican party. I The people have tlie remedy, and 1 be- j lievc tlie popular will to be largely in fa- vor of a cliang in the character of our rep- I resentatives. 1 know of many who will not dispute the military genius of (.rant or the eminent ability of Colfax, both sol- ( diem and civilians, who, this year, will vote for a chart;? a complete change in the administration of outiiiational affair ! Congress should bo arraigned and pies tioned by the people in this canvass I Let Congress answer for depriving ten Slates of all civil government for the last three years I There can be no equality in the sister hood of States, it conditions may be im jiosed upon some and not on all. We arc a Union of equals. No other doctrine was en tertained by thestatesinenofl789. Congress now assumes a now wisdom, and proposes to rebuild the superstructure of our govern ment, better and more enduring than our fathers, in direct violation of an established Constitution solemnly ratified by the peo ple. Shall we surrender this priceless heritage of constitutional civil government, bequeathed to us by a wiser generation, wiltioutjiBtrHjglo within the constituted forms dfilaw ? Let Cf ngrasa answer for their encroach ments up8h the executive and judioial de partments of tlfq-national government, and every actur tyranny and' misrule calculated to inilamotlic passions of one seotion of the country against those of another ! Lei Congress answer for keeping down the credit of the government, continuing a depreciated currency, taxing the people unequally, and sustaining ptoiligate and corrupt official ! There is but one way by which these de sired changes can lie brought about, and that is to indorso the action of the Nt w York National Democratic Convention. This is my candid judgment, and I shall labor caruostly fer that end, with all the great body of Conservatives in the country who stand pledged for a criANon. With a complete victory we may expect a nwterod Union, with peaceful relations between all tho States, a sound currency, equal taxation, industrial activity, com mercial nrosueritv. and every citizen in the enjoyment of his constitutional rights.

Our whole community wa3 surprised and deeply grieved to learn that tho Very Rev. Benj. J. Spalding, Administrator of this Catholic Diocese, died at six -o'clock, last evening. Tho manner of his death was most heart-rending. He retired at his accustomed hour to his sleeping apart ment in the. Bishop's house at the Cathe dral on Monday night. About 12 o'clock Father Bouchct, who3oroomis just under neath Dr. Spalding's, heard him out on the gallery, and groaning a3 if in great bodily pain. Father B. hasied upstairs, when he found to his infinite horror and astonishment that Dr. Spalding's bed was on fire, and.lhat the Doctor had already been dreadfully burned, and had plunged himself into the bath tub in an-adjoining room, where he was suffering ihe interest agony. When Father Bouchet sufficiently collected himself he threw the burning bed clothes out of the room, and helped Dr. Spalding to another apartment, placed a sheet around him, and made him as com fortable as possible. Drs. Crowe and Force were called in and used every exer tion in human power to relieve the suf-' ferer; hut he continued in the accntest pain until he expired at six o'clock last evening. It waa Dr. Spalding's habit to keep the gas burning in his room all night. The bracket was a sliding one, moving upward and downward, and from long use it had becoma loosened. It is supposed, from the nearness of the burner to the Doctor's couch, thatdurin the night, while he was asleep, the bracket descended and set the t mosquito-baron fire. Evidently Dr. Spald ing was awfully burned before he reached the bath-tub, aa Father Bouchet states that when he ran up, his night-clothes were en tirely burned off, and the whole of one side of his person wa3 in a perfect crisp. Tlie physicians, we understand, are of the opinion that death resulted more from ex posure to the bath than from the burning.' This most horrible and untimely death of so estimable a man and bo distinguished a prelate will shock the Catholic Church of the whole country. Dr? Spalding was in his fifty-seventh year. He was born in Marion county, in this State, and was the fourth son of tho late Richard Spalding. lie received his primary education at St. Mary's College, and was afterwards sent lo tho Propa ganda at Rome, where he graduated with marked distinction. In 1S37 ho returned to Kentucky and was employed for many years as a Professor in St. Joseph's Col lege, at Bardstown, and as pastor of tho Catholic congregation there. He cauio to Louisville in 1S-13, and has re sided here ever since, officiating as pastor of the Cathedral of the Assumption, under his world-known brother, the Most Rev. Martin J. Spalding, Archbishop of Balti more. He had also filled the office of Vicar General of tho Diocese for many years. Since the decease of the Right Rev. Bishop Lavialle, in April, 1807, Dr. Spalding has acted as Administrator of the Diocese, in which position ho had more closely en deared himself to the people of the church. Ho was eminent both for his great piety and devotion to his faith and for his geniality and benevolence. In a few days we hope to be able to give a more complete and just biography of the deceased. Four brothers and one sislcr survive the lamented deceased, Archbishop Spalding and three brothers and a sister living in Marion county. All of them, exetpt the Archbishop, will be present at the funeral. A dispatch from Baltimore states that the Arnhbishop is at Sweet Sulphur Springs, Virginia, and cannot bo communicated with in time for tlie funeral. A Soi.niKU on Guant. The Danbury (L'onnecticut; Time, whose editor was a Union soldier, has this item in regard to tho "General of the army and Radical can didate for the Presidency" Gen. Grant : "Where ban his name won a singlo vie lory.' ISot in Aew Hampshire, nor in Connecticut. His name never caused any enthusiasm in the army unlil the army s work was done, and the prospect of being led into another slaughter pen was oblit erated, and his name in politics has not one convert lo tho cause he has seen lit to shoulder. Silence is his statesmanship, obstinacy is bis firmness, deceit his patri otism, and horses his ability. He has lived in smoke and will end in smoke." It is conceded by the Atlanta Intel ligencer that tho Hon. Joshua Hill, re cently elected one of the ITnitcd States a Senators from Georgia, is not a Democrat That papor says : "The Democracy of Ihe State, and of the whole country, can expect nothing lavor- inir their views from that gentleman. He is a 'IlcmdAican,' and favors the election of urant and uotiax, as ne was, ami uiu, oe foro his election as Senator. This fad should be understood by the people of our Slate, and, recognizing it in ila fullest force, we shall have to regard Mr. Hill, in his Senatorial character, as not representing, in any degree, the Democratic party of Georgia, and, therefore, not representing the true interests ol the Dlale." AVI I.I, UK ! IT? Tho Nashville Union and DLytatch of Suudav. has information that it believes reliable, that Gov. Brownlow would send an additional message lo the Legislature, permitting them to act in regard to enfraii- chisinir the wbito people of the State as they may think proper. We do not know whether its information is correct, but if so, and the Legislature shall consent to take immediate action in the premises, we can promise the State government hearty and cordial support in all legitimate measures from tho.-e about to be enfranchised, and although their political principles will re main unchanged, we shall do all in our power to restore the era of good-feeling which of nirht ought to exist between hon orable political opponents. Less than this we ought not to do, more wo can not do. hmtrvUic Ires anil Herald, Axuj. 4. Tornaik).

Cooi. and impudent it is, in tin- fare of . the fHndinir bill, voted for by all the Re- publicans in the House and nearly all in a the Senate, to hear the cry of "repodia" tion:" The funding bill not only changes the interest on the five-twenty bonds, but reduces it from six to four and four and a half per rent. Equally cool is the cry of repudiation inlhc face of the vote and in structions in the House of Representatives to tax the coupons of tho United States ImmuIs ten per oont These Radicals must think the people all fools if they suppose, in the fact of such votes, that reading men can be humbugged intothoir support.

The Washington correspondent of tho New York Eiprcss writes as follows : . Mr. C. W. Hamilton, the"C. B." Repre sentee from Florida, who was so anxious b signalize himself on his entrance into Ihe House by reviving the impeachment of tlie President, was discharged a few weeks ago, from the Veteran Reserve Corps, of which he was a Second Lieutenant, serving in Florida under the orders of the Freed inen'e Bureau. He was paid by Col. Pot ter, Paymaster, United Slates army, in this city, the sum of $442, in May last, for his travel, pay and subsistence from Florida lo Philadelphia. He is probably, therefore, a Philadelphian, and no more entitled to representFlorida than he is Rhode Island. If ho is not a Philadelphian, by what right does he draw ?442 from tlie treasury lor travel, pay, etc., lo Philadelphia ? The law authorizes the payment of travel, pay and subsistence lo discharged officers from the place ot uiscnarge to tneir resi dences. If Philadelphia be not Mr. Ham ilton's residence, he should at once refund this $442 to the Paymaster. If it be his residence, how can he claim mileage from Florida to Washington, as a member of Corruresa.

KEACTION AMONG TUG GERMANS. Prom the Detroit Free Press. Among the gratifying signs of a sweep ing popular reaction may ue mcnuoneu tho chance of the Germans from extrava gant Radicalism to liberal and reasonable . .... -H 1 1IT -1 i- Yiews. xne itauicai wasningion corres pondent of the Cincinnati Yolksblall, has lately made the "painful discovery" that the great majority of the Germans aro strict adherents of the old Democracy.' He says "this circumstance is the more to be regretted becanso the Germans at "Wash ington are mostly well-educated people, who possess in a high degree all the quali-, hcations which make them such a useiui element in a new country like ours." We have always been of the opinion that the Germans, as a body, are an eminently conservative, steady race, and that their momentary extravagance as llauical par-, tisana is altogether at variance Avith their trno character. In returning to tho Demo cratic fold they only reallrm a political creed which was their own for a quarter of a century, and which better than any other answered all their desires, and was more in harmony with their natural .instincts than tho professions of any other political parly. The VolksblatCs correspondent, ignorant as he Heem3 to be of the political antecedents of the Germans in the United Stales, is so nuzzled bv the position of his countrymen at the capital that he looks for an explana tion of tho circumstance where nououy inn himself would probably try to find it. He says "it is a matter of daily experience in Germany that tho inhabitants ol all me smaller capitals are distinguished by their want of character in regard to potiiacai affairs, and that they usually identify them selves just so much with the ruling classes ihev stick to the old traditions thereof." If this were the true cause of the changed 1 political complexion of the Germans at Wasluncton, every one ol tnern wouui ape Butler and Stevens rather than their op ponents, for there the ruling class for tho last six or seven years has been these Rad icals ultras anil certainly nol the demo crats. The truth is, theGermans at Wash ington have seen a good deal clearer into the designs ol the revolutionists man uiosc at a greater distance from the center of the government. The Radical leaders among the Germans have never permitted the great masses of their We-tcrn countrymen to sec the real schemes of the demagogues lo whom they have been sold out. Docu ments, by which the iniquity of the Jaco bin directory was brought to light, and those wich justified tho policy of the Exe cutive, were invariably suppressed ; their frauds concealed ; their swindling opera tions denied, and their tyrannical meas ures excused or approved. Wherover the Germans had an opportunity to examine both sides of a question they always repu diated Radicalism and its doctrines. This explains the mystery which eeem3 so strango to tho olksblalis correspondent, and as he admits that the AY aldington Ger mans belong to the best educated class, wo have no doubt lhat all their countrymen will soon return to the only organization to which their instincts and their interests lead them. THE HADICAI.S ATTEJUT TO GET UI A IUOT IN C'UAKIiESTON. From tho Charloton Now?. We alluded briefly yesterday to the cir cumstance that a number of negroes at tempted to interrupt the Democratic meet ing held on the previous night, by shout- ine and cheerinir tor urant and uoiiax. Facts which havcBincecome to light, snow that the colored men on the outskirts of the crowd were acting according to a pre-ar ranged plan, and that it waa their purpose lo provake a collision between the Demo crats and the Radicals. Soon after the meeting was organized, the tree boxes near the otand were torn down by the Radical negroes. These were their arms, and they at once began lo veil and curse at the white men near them. They shouted, "down with the Rebels," "drive 'em home," "cut their throats," "d the while monkeys." varying the tune occa' sionallv by calling for three cheers for Grant, and by attempting to sing, "ivatiy around the Hag. Tlio wluto people and the colored Dem ocrats who were with them took no notice of these demonstrations, and the meeting was quietly adjourned when Judge Aldrich had tinished speaking. Alter the adjourn ment a number of negroes crowded up to the platform, saying they would at once use it for a Grant and Colfax meeting. In this they were disappointed, for the stand was guarded by the members of the Demo cratic committee until it was taken down One of the peculiar features of the occa sion was a stump speech made by Sam Dickerson, a colored Radical, He told the ncgros that they were a disgrace lo their parly ; that the DemocraLs did not inter nipt their meetings, and they must not trouble the Democrats, and if they did they would bring down upon themselves the Hi will of the whole community, ihis was nol palatable to the negroes, who threat ened him with violence, and he would have been mobbed but for the protection given hinvfrv the police. There is no doubt that the whole move ment was directed and arranged by the while le.dprs of the Radicals. The for bearance and naliencc of the Democrats averted anv outbreak, but if such demon stralinna arc .tllawrd to continue there must be serious trouble. It is the duty of Urn police to see that peaceful public meetings are not interferrd with, and aa the Demo crats never molust tbo Radicals when they lttv llifir frillinrlnrnt it is eXOCCtCll tllat they themselves shall not be annoyed by the foul words and gestures of a few tnr indent negroes. The Washington corropon'JuDtof tl,c lialtimore Sm states, as the result of "inquiry in the right direotien," that among tho masons which induced the l'rasidont to withhold hiaVnpproval of the funding bill, is that tho iKmds were to be exempt from taxation THE GAINES CASE. Palimm's Magazine for August, contains an article upon the great law suit of Mrs. Gen. Gaines, which was recently decided. Wc quote tho concluding paragraphs : "The decision of ItfGO, would seem lo be conclusive and final. Jit was bo intended to be. But Mrs. Gaines was Etill resisted, once more, in 18CS. her claims have been confirmed. Her old friend Judge Wayne, and her old can we say opponent ? Judge, Catron, are off tho bench.

Court of the United Stales is surely final. Opening it, Judge Davis said: "It was snpposcd, after the decision in Gaines agt. Hennen (24 Howard), that the litigation, pursued in one form or another for over thirty years by the complainant, to vindicate her rights in the estate of her jather, was ended. "And in conclusion, he asked : "Can we not indulge the hope that the right of Myra Clark Gaines in the estate of her father, Daniel Clark, will not be recognized t" 'Such ia the outline of the progress ot the Gaines case through thirty-four years of law. The legal reader can turn to the books, and study the reports at leisure. Our sketch will be completed with a brief reference to the moving spirit of the long effort. "Married in 1832, learning her true his tory, though not fully, soon after, com4 mencing her suits in 1834, Mrs. Whitney was left amid the pestilence ol JNew Or leans, a widow in 183C. The yellow fever struck down her husband in a few honrs. She wa3 alone, with three little children, a slender fortune, few friends, in the midst of actual enemies, for her bold claims had produced tho most bitter opposition. A fearful duty stood before her. "Somewhat later she met Gen. Games. He was warmly interested in her history ; and he conld not, doubtless, resist the win ning eloquence of her address, or her piquant charms of person, lhey were married : and thence till now the heroine of the story is not Myra Davis, Myra Clark, nor Myra Clark Whitney, but Myra Clark Gaines. "The law's delays were fearfully expen sive, xne nine lortune received at ner marriage soon melted she had spent tho whole oflier husband's estate. Sho had borrowed of every one who was bold enough to listen to her persuasive voice, for she 'talked the money out of their pockets.' Nobody could listen to her fifteen minutes without sharing in her enthusiasm and per fect conviction of ultimate success. She, had feed the ablest lawyers in the land with princely retainers, when she had tho money; and she had more than once pleaded her own case when money could not-be obtained. She knew the law perfect ly. She had mastered details as well as' principles. She knew precedents, aud did not stumble upon quibbles. Once, it is said, she spoke two hours aud a half to a inry and won ner cas. ' Once more with a friend and partner in her struggle, she fought forward. Goneral Gaines devoted his time and his fortune to the work. For ten years the gallant old General and his beautiful young wifej planued and executed their campaigns to- gether. She had youth, lire and energy ; he had wealth, position and a chivalrous devotion to her cause. "Should you search over the files of some old newspapers, about IS 11, you may find mention ot the lecturing lour ol uenerat and Mrs. Gaines. They delivered in com pany a series of lectures, upon, subjects which Would seem to be strangely dissimi lar. The General had a new Plan of Na tional Defense; his wife descanted upon the Horrors of War. In Wilmington, they thus jointly took up an evening in the old Town Hall, appearing before a large au dience, and devoting tho proceeds to re build the bumod St. Andrew a Church. The General died in 18-19. Once more alone, his widow has still fought the battle with unwearied energy. Ihe lorluno leu her has been long idnce exhausted. Thou sands upon thousands of dollars have been advanced to bo repaid when she gained her property. Jt is perfectly sale to say that the expenditures in this suit have readied into millions.

A schedule, hied in ibJ'J, shows a portion of the Clark estate, as well as it could then be estimated. LltsalU0Unt as then estimated was over $5,000,000.

INTERNAL REVENUE OEC'ItilONH. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has instructions to suppress the unauthor ized production of alcoholic spirits and va pors. After quoting the provisions of sec tion four of the act of July 20, 18GS, he nays: ' Tlie object oi tins section was evidently lo enable the internal revenue oflicer to Buppress all manner of distillation of spir its not expressly aiiinorizeu uy law, ami to collect the tax on all alcoholic spirits man ufactured. I he laws existing prior to tins act were found to be inefficient, and all ef forts to secure a uniform enforcement among the courts in different sections of the country as to tne proper construction of such laws, ilic meaning of this section, however, cannot be a matter of doubt. Un der it no article into which alcoholic snir- it or alcoholic vanora enter -aa an ingredi ent can be lawfully manufactured, except mien t pirns or aicuiioi nave ocen produced i i i i i , . in an aiiinorizeu uiiuiiicry, ana nave iaul the tax. The largest class of cases affected by this section is that of the manufacturers of vinegar by various processes of distilla tion, xtlany of these manufacturers have been honestly engaged in the business of making vinegar, with no intention of de frauding the revenue, while many otbers. imucrtlie pretense ui making viuegur alone, have been committing flagrant and inten tional frauds. .Between These two clarst Concress has made no discrimination, aud the provisions of this section were intended to close all sucli manufactories. In order thai equal and uniform justice may be done to all the persons enirnired m this Lms- iiitsei, assessors and collectors will at once lake steps to advise those in their respect ive districts ol tlie terms of the law. and tbe purpose of the department lo require full compliance with iu provisions ; and if any oue carried on, or attempts to carry ou lliu business proiiibttetl by lliw aeution, after being so advised, they will institute proceedings under its penal provisions." The Commissioner has decided in favor of the adoption of the Tice meter for the prevention of frauds in liquor distilleries, This meter waa recommended by the scien- 'it r 1-1 t wr liuc comruiuce ui wuicii rreiestor lienry was chairman, ana winch met in Washing several months ago.
