SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31,1888.
TDBSDtT’S KLBOnOIT,
On Tuesday next, an election tor county
officer* is to be beld in every county In
Illinois. Ko Btate officer is to be chosen,
80 the Centerta -will be local, not gener
al, turning in many cates upon the merits
of indivi duals, rather than npen a conflict
of principles. The vote -will, wo presume,
he small.
"We beg the readers of this paper to re
member one thing—that wherever a party
contest, as in this county, bag been pro
voked by the nomination of copperheads,
H opposition to the Union candidates, the
success of even one man on the disloyal
ticket will be claimed as a secession victo
ry; and that, as such, it will be heralded
all over the country. It is hence the duty
of the friends of the Government and the
opponents of the rebellion, to see that no
rcmlssnees of theirs gives the enemies of
the Republic reason to exult In our own
county especially, where the Union ma
jority is unquestionably large if a full vote
is cast, and where the sympathizers with
the South arc making preparations for a
sharp and an active contest, it is incum
bent upon all true men to do their duty a
the polls. Ho man can be held guiltless
who does not vote. Ho man can do what
the cause of the country‘demands, who
refuses to vote the Union ticket The
nominees thereon are unexceptionable,
measured either by their fitness or their abil
ity; and in thepresent crisis,when the hands
of the Government should be strengthened
and upheld, it is necessary that they be
one and all elected. And how shall they
be chosen save by the votes of loyal citi
zens? All the votes in the county cast
by men who hate the Administration, who
hate the Union, who hate the war, who
love slavery and praise secession, who arc
as actively with the South in this struggle
as they dare he and not bring themselves
within reach of the penalties oi the statute
law, who oppose the Federal tax law and
the conscription, who rejoice over Union
defeats and mourn over Union victories—
fill voles Cast bv nil «nrh Tnon. triiL (La
suffrages of the grog-shops, the gambling
hells and the bawdy bouses superadded,
will be for the Copperhead ticket Hot
one will be cast for Gary and the Union
nominees—not one! vVc do not say that
no loyal man will vote for Horns & Co.;
there are always, in any community, a cer
trin number of ofi aded fellows who be
lieve that the devil is never as black as he
is painted, and that “ poor old Buck” may
be loyal after alt A tew such, and a few
who will not stop to inquire about the loy
alty or disloyalty of any candidate, so he
has the parly label on his back, will be
found with Homs and Hecch tickets in
their hands. It is the province of the
Unionists, or, as Hr. Douglas more prop
erly termed them, the Patriots, to see to it
that not only Cook, but every other county
in Illinois, raises her voice lor the Govern
ment and in condemnation of the traitors!
THE FBOBOGtTIOK OF THE
LEGISUIIIBE.
The 'Wabash—Goudy—Fuller concern
strive to base their claim for a judicial de
cision to give life and vitality to their bo
gns railroad bill, on the pretension that
the Governor had no right to prorogue the
Legislature at the time and in the manner
that he made the prorogation. That being
assumed, by an extraordinaiy legal fiction
the Legislature is to be considered in actual
session for an indefinite time thereafter,
though it is notorious to every man, woman
and child in the State, that there has not
been even a respectable pretense of a Leg
islative body at Springfield since its proro
gation. Notwithstanding the vaporing and
scolding of a few men. who saw that they
were to fail in their corrupt schemes by
the act of the Governor, yet the Legisla
ture as a body acquiesced in his action by
drawing their pay, gathering up their duds
andleaving forborne. "Without,however,
arguing the question of the voluntaiy aban
donment of the Legislature by all the mem
bers, which would be entirely conclusive
in the matter, we propose to show that the
act of the Governor was not only in strict
accordance with the Constitution, but that
his action in that regard cannot be re
viewed by a co-ordinate branch of the
Government. Section 13th of the 4th ar
ticle of the constitution provides that:
“ In ease of disagreement between the two
Houses in respect to the time of adjourn
ment, the Governor shall have power to ad
journ the General Assembly to such time as
he thinks proper, provided it be not t« a pe*
riod beyond the next constitutional meeting
Of the same. 1 ’ w
That there was a substantial and sub
sisting “ disagreement between the Houses
with respect to the time of adjournment,”
there can be no doubt, as the journals
Showthefact; but it is alleged that it was
not a disagreement in the proper parlia
mentary degree. But the disagreement,
existing as it did by the acts of the differ
ent Houses, it was a conclusive and abso
lute difference unless arranged by a Con
ference Committee of the two bodies, and
the report adopted by the respective
Bouses. But the appointment of such a
Committee of Conference must be passed
upon by cither House, as a matter of cour
tesy or policy, according to its judgment,
and without any binding obligation what
ever to appoint such a committee in any
case, The point of disagreement being
-reached, as it was in this case, by the re
fusal of the two bodies to agree upon the
same day in which to adjourn, unless one
or the other House afterward receded
from its action, or unless a committee of
conference was appointed to adjust the
difference between the two bodies, then
there was an end of the matter. Whether
either House would recede, or would ap
point any conference Committee, was a
matter entirely belonging to each Honse,
and no outride power could have a right
to any control over the subject If them
was a neglect on the part of one House to
recede from a disagreeing vote, or a neglect
to appoint a committee of conference,
thenlhe original and simple disagreement
stood complete and final. The Senate was
in iavor of an adjournment on the Bth day
of June, the House disagreed to that day
and •amended the Senate resolution by
naming another day; the Senate refused to
concur in the House amendment, and did
not ask tor any committee of conference;
and as the House had asked for no com
mittee, the whole matter was ended, and
the case of “ disagreement ” as contempla
tedby the constitution had in point ot
fact and law actually taken place.
But there is another principle which
over-rides the question we have been con
sidering, as to whether or not, in our
opinion, or in the opinion of any member
oi the Legislature, or of any judicial tri
bunal,there was such a case of disagree
ment between the two houses, as author
ized the prorogation by the Governor.
Fortunately, there is no doubt as to what
that principle is, lor it has been enunciated
by the Supreme Court oi the United
States, and by the highest courts in several
of the States, Including the present Su
preme Court of our own State. The
power to adjonm'the Legislature in the
case of disagreement, is conferred
by the constitution upon the Governor. It
is a political power, vested in the Chief
Magistrate ol the State by the fundamental
law of the land. The langnage. of the
Constitution is; “The Governor thatt
luax the power)) &c., and he must he the
sole and exclusive judge in regard to its
exercise. This power was entrusted to
the Governor for wise purposes, and being
specially conferred by the Constitution
cannot be controlled or reviewed by
any other person. It invests the Gov
ernor with an executive discretion, and
the manner in which he nsea that
discretion cannot'be controlled. It is on
a political subject—it affects the rights oi
the State, and not individual rights, and
being entrusted to the Governor, his de
cision is conclusive. The Governor had
the power and the discretion to adjourn
the Legislature, and whatever opinion
plight be entertained as to the manner in
which he used that power and discretion,
no power exists that could control it. He
is not amenable to the Judiciary or the
Legislature for the manner in which he
uses his constitutional discretion, nor for
the manner in which he performs, or fails
to perform the duties imposed upon him
by tbc Constitution. Hi* acts being po
litical, they must'be politically examined
in the manner pointed out by the funda
mental law. 'lf Jtbe Governor err in such
a case, he is accountable to the people of,
tbc Stale, in its political character, and to
his own conscience. Such is the language
of the highest courts In the country, bear
ing on this precise question. Ho court has
pronounced a more unmistakable judg
ment on the subject than the Supreme
Court of Illinois in the case o! the People
v*, Governor Bissell, reported in the 19th
Illinois Reports. The whole doctrine is
there stated in a few lines, in the terse and
emphatic separate opinion of Mr. Justice
Brecsc. He says: ... -
“ The Executive has certain duties im
posed on him by the Constitution and
laws of the Slate. Should be fail to per
form tbcm, without justifiable reasons
therefor, and the public be injured, im
peachment or deprivation of office would
follow* * * * In his sphere t he is inde
pendent cf the Court. * * * In mat
ters of public duty, wc revert him to the
high tribunal of his own conscience, and
the public judgment”

Tbe citizens of Chicago must have failed
to appreciate the extraordinary character
of the legislative swindle, known as the
Wabash Railway Bill, which is now being
attempted, by the most disreputable means,
to be fastened upon tbcm by virtue of a
judicial decision. We undertake to say
no such legislation in regard to horse rail
ways, as is now attempted tobe set up as a
law, can be found in the statute book of
any State. The veiy passage of such a
law through any legislative body would
be evidence of the fraud and corruption
charged in this case. Ho honest and in
intelligent legislature would ever know
ingly pass a hill of so flagrant a character
as the one in onactinn TLo rJglitevjf the
city and the rights of the public arc alike
trampled under foot by a monopoly which
would be as grinding and odious as it
would be perpetual
Tbc present horse railroads In this ity
were brought into existence by virtue of
the city charter. That provided for the
construction oi such railroads, but wisely
left the manner of such construction, the
streets upon which they should be con
structed, the limitations, &c., to the City
Council. The Council, by its ordinances,
authorized the construction of certain
horse railways In the city, by certain com
panies, and as a first and proper return to
the city and the people, for the franchise
granted, the rights of both were protected,
and proper restrictions, and limitations
and burdens were placed upon the com
panies.
We show by parallel columns the differ
ence between what is required in regard to
the present horse railroads in the city, and
what is neglected to be provided for in the
Goody-Fuller charter:

The contrast is sufficiently suggestive
without any extended remarks upon our
own part. A more outrageous and fla
grant swindle was never attempted to be
foisted upon a community than this Grid
iron scheme of Fuller, Goudy & Co., now
being crowded through Copperhead courts
by Copperhead demagogues. There is
ample iood for reflection in the charters
we present It needs no argument to con
vince the property holders of Chicago
what is the character of the franchise
sought by these men. It remains to he
seen whether the people cf tins city are
willing to grant a monopoly over which
they will have no control, and for which
they will receive no recompense, to such
men.

The telegraph informs us that Major
General Peek, having received informa
tion that guerillas were ravaging the
Northwestern sections of North Carolina
and conscripting the inhabitants for Lee’s
tony, sent out an expedition which was
successful in capturing the guards left in
tiie guerilla camps, and destroying the
muster-rolls and other documents pertain
ing to the conscription. A gratifying re
sult of this expedition was the fact that a
strong Union feeling was found In
section of the State—a section, by the way,
which has not furnished half its quota
to the rebel aimy. So anxious were the
people for the presence of Union troops
that they declared, within ninety days of
the Union occupancy of the country, they
would send a Representative from that
district to the Congress at Washington.
These and similar facts, constantly being
developed by our expeditions” into that
State, seem to indicate the propriety of
immediately holding such points as will
afford the inhabitants protection against
conscripting hordes from Lee’s army, and
form the nucleus around which will soon
rally the loyal men of the old North State.
AH signs point to a growing desire for
peace and restoration to the Union. Let
them be protected in their desires, and let
their aspirations for restoration to the Union
he cnconrsecd by the presence of the old
flag, under -whoso ample folds, and the
terms propounded by its maintainors, they
may once moreretnmto their allegiance.

that country. They have deep and bitter
provocations for rebellion. The South
never had any. The East Indians arc
urged on by rude aspirations for freedom,

Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott*
[From the K. Y. Times, 27th.]
The veteran hero, Lieut-Gen. Winfield
Scott, once more visits the City of New York,
and has taken apartments at Delmonlco’e,
Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue. Since
Lis arrival many of his old acsoclites in arms
and other personal admirers have called to
welcome and have a shake of the old sol
dier's hand.
On a call, by one of the latter, he was cor
dially welcomed by the General, whom he
found enjoying the society of two lads, his
grandchildren. The veteran Is pleased to
tee his friends, but the necessity and proprie
ty of not makieg visits too long will suggest
themselves. As to bis spirits, they are excel
lent, end his feel legs cordial and hearty as
ever. Bis health is what he terms good,
though he suffers from an affection of the
spine, which prevents him from walking as
much as he would wish; still he generally
walks to his church and takes some moderate
Birchs. He remarked:
“lamnow going up to fourscore years, a
longer period than the Great Disposer of
i vents permits many men to live, yet I praise
Dim that still m? mental faculties are unim
paired, and that they are as vigorous at ever.
1 just hao a visit from a friend, hoary headed
like myself, atd my senior in years; yet he
and 1 wore convening upon matters that oc
curred forty and fifty years ago—matters
which are as vivid to my memory now as at
the periods they happened True, it is, that
old age will shake the beat of men: but when
a young man I was very strong and possessed
cl* an excellent memory. Besides-these, I
was of a very determined resolution.”
The General Is most scrupulous in attend
ance at church, and is a close and constant
student of the word of God. His reverence
for and gratitude to his Creator is one of the
many marked characteristics of the venerable
Chieltan. He expects to remain in the city
during the Winter, and his apartments are
arm ged with that view. Ashe has been all
his lire, he Is now, an early riser, his break
fitt hour being tight. After this he drives
cut; writes and reads; a short nap during
the day, and he retires at 10 o’clcck.
On the subject of the war the General is
reticent. It gives him pain. To a question
in regard to it, he shook his head, replying,
“that Is a mailer Ido not talk npon; itisa
subject for others to discuss, and not for me
to dwell upon in my old age. It is in other
hands, and must now engross the attention of
other heads.”
'When his carriage awaits him at Delmoni
co’s, and it is known to be Gen. Scott’s, a
crowd of persons, anxious to have a gi*™™ at
the esteemed and respected veteran, gather
around it He is most courteous, and has a
kind “ How do you do ?” xor all.
It may be stated in thu connection that
the General tennderstood to have been devo
ting a very Urge portion of his time for a
longtime past to writing; the subject of his
labor is not definitely known, but if the re
sult is for the world, it wml he one of greatest
value and importance, and also be another
monument to one of the greatest and most
successful warriors of the age in which he
lived.
Tiie Times Heads* a lecture to the
queen of England.
[From the London Times, Oct. 18.]
The whole country will rejoice to hear that
our Queen has summoned courage to appear
in public to-morrow, and eo, we trust, to re
turn to public life. If the Queen can mus
ter bean and strength to appear la public
without that support which had become al
most indispensable, she will give the greatest
proof of her affection for her people. Two
years, it muit be said, are a long period to be
consumed in unavailing regrets, and in dwell
ing npon days which cannot be recalled. It
istoo often the result of such an occupation
to become possessed of an exaggerated esti
mate of cue’s mUfortuses. indeed, it be
comes a sort of religion to make the most of
them, and a duty to the departed to refuse
consolation. But, in the comparison of lot
with lot, that her majesty may contrast her
lot favorably with that of many others not re
garded as very unfortunate. Few would ex
change her esse with thatol any one of her
roj&l predecessors. We have had four Queens
regnant,!! we include the wile of William TIT.;
but, not to speak of domestic happiness, none
of them left an heir to the throne, and none
could regard with satisfaction the hands into
which the sceptre must tell. Of the other
£ti, the last two sovereigns have died child
less. Of George 111. it has been said he had
been happier had he died yotnger, and In
ftp hyts of the two other Georges there is
little to covet.
■With one slcgle exception Queen Victoria
is singularly frvorcd in her domestic circum
stances. Sbe has a numerous and moat prom*

daughters are happily married. The

It is lemaikable for the ease and complete
ness with which we hare emerged from un
exampled difficulties, and for the victories
'which have crowned both our arms and our
politics. Peace, order, nnion, comfort, con
tent are not In these days mere terms ol

That, indeed, brings in another considera
tion, which should present itself to all who
give way to early sorrows. It la searcsly
possible bat that years will continually add
to the bitter cup and renew the aid straggle.
We ad with a long life to our Queen, bat to
live long is to suffer and to survive. It is to
e bare tbe sorrows of all those who belong t>
ns, and to mourn the loss of some. With this
gloomy bat inevitable prospect before as, it
is only common forethought to measure the -
scale of oar early briefs, and coaat betimes
how much of our life we intend to resign to
affliction. As soon as nature feels a healthy
reaction, every effort should be made
to resume that working life which
is, after all, the most sovereign
remedy for sorrows, and which la
the humbler classes is God 1 * own cure for
the meet cruel bereavements. The widow of
the cottage cannot lose a day. She must in
stantly set to work, go through her daily
round of duties, and mix with her neighbors
as the did before. With her to give way to
sorrow is to starve. It is betterforher child
ren that she should act thus, as otherwise
they would only be overshadowed in her
gloom, audeufeebled, body and mind, by her
Isolation. But, great as a calamity may be,
there areal»aja worse possible, and the sense
of what is should never exclude thankfulness
for being spared the ills that are not. and the
exertions needed to avert them. It is to the
future that we must all turn as soon as we
have recovered from the blow which has
struck ns.-It maybe, to the very ground. The
future ofEogland may be. indeed, .uncertain.

In Gen. Grant's Department there are fif
teen regiments organized, which number, in
the aggregate, 9,500 men- In Gen. Banks'
Department there ate about twenty-four or
ganized regiments, and four or five under
way. A regiment in this Department means
live hundred men, which is the present max
imum for colored regiments. The whole
number here, in all the regiments, is about
18.CC0, which, would make the number of
colored troops on the Mississippi, 23,550.
i The recruiting of these troops in General
Grant's Department is nearly at an end.
Until some new vein is opened, nothing of
consequence can he done in this line. In this
Department the recruiting Is better, although
there is not eo wide a license given. In
Grant's Department the orders are to take
alt negroes who are able to bear arms; while
here the order is to take all between the ages
ol twenty and thirty years.
The unorganized contrabands in General
Grant’s department number about 43,000. I
h«To heretofore given details of their
tion, employment, etc. The supeiiutcndent
of this department (Col- Hanks, of the Corps
d'Jfrique), informs me that the whole num
ber of freedmen. aside from the soldiers, Is
about 15,000,10,000 of whom arc hired out on
plantations, and 5,000 are in camp here and at
Baton Rouge. 1 know that Col. Hanks is
mistaken in the number, because where 18,-
000 troops are raised, the number of women
and children and infirm men will amount to
more than 15.000. But 1 have only his state
ment to go upon, with no earthly means of
correcting it.
The health of the colored soldiers is cer
tainly better in this department than in Gen
eral Grant's; but the mortality among the
unorganized freedmen la about the same.
! There has always been a violent prejudice
in this department against making toe negro
a United States soldier. Among toe private
soldiers this prejudice has almost disappeared,
but among the officers it still exists to some
extent.

From an officer of the Russian steam cor

we leant that the British fleet, which went to
enforce payment from Prince Balsam,* of the
indemnity demanded for tho murder of Mr.
Richardson, is repotted by the Japanese to
have met with a defeat. According to tbe
Japanese accounts, the fleet proceeded to the
city cfKagoEema, where the Prince resides.
When it reached the outer harbor, a violent
hurricane came up, and compelled them to
lay to. On its cessation the fleet entered the
inner harbor, where, after a abort engagement,
they sunk cn ormea schooner, supposed,from
the subsequent action of the Japanese, to
have been a decoy. As the fleet proceeded,
they came In range of masked heavy batteries
which immediately opened. TJhe batteries
were of rilled cannon, and opened a tremen
dous fire, one vessel alone receiving seven
teen shots. The advance portion of the fleet
were riddled, the guns ot the batteries being
so placed that every shot told. The Admiral
of the fleet determined to moke a boat attack,
but did not consummate the some, owing to
tbe disabled condition of a majority ot his
vessels, which compelled him to tow them
out of range of the batteries. The Japanese
claim to have destroyed the greater portion
cf the fleet. •
Slave Stampede In Kentucky.
A very respectable slaveholder from Ken

post, a change seems to have come over the
spirit cf the negroes’ dreams in the southern
counties of that State, and large numbers of
them are zucnlrg off. He says that over one
hundred and fifty have escaped from one
county, and the trouble is increasing. In
spite of the enormous prices which the great
Kentucky staple, tobacco r is bringing, slaves
have depreciated greatly in value. A very
large proportion of the slave-owners say that
tlavery is hopelessly destroyed, and that they
are willing to acquiesce in any disposition
which may be made of the slaves. This sen
timent is rapidly spreading amougtbe people.

THE GEBOAH RADICALS,
Platform and Beelarallon for their
Organization, Adapted at Cleveland,
Oct. 30, 1663.
FLiTrOIIM.
Animated by tbe desire to co-operate, ac
cording to tbeir ability and convictions, lor
tbe weifare of the Republic, but at the sanae
time feeling tbe ntcessity of securing for
themselves that consideration which justice
must accord to every wall meaning citizen of
the Republic, and which self respect com
maids every freeman to aim at, the German
radicals, renouncing all party allegiance and
opposing all corruption, have put an end to
their powerlees Isolation by an organization,
the chief object of which is to work con
jointly with their fellow citizens of American
descent, of the same political creed, for the
realization of the principles and measures
following:
1. Integrity of the Union, and subordination of
the several States under tbe sovereignty of
the people of the United States.
3. Unconditional suppression of the rebellion.
8. Abolition of slavery In the entire territory of
tbe United States In tbe shortest way.
4. Revision of the Corstitntlon in the spirit of
tne Declaration of Independence.
G. Treatment of there conquered rebel States as
territories for the purpose of reconstruction.
0. Cession of the confiscated lands In the spirit
of the Homestead BUI. as well as donation of
portions of the land to the defenders of the'
country, of whatever color, and to the liberated
slaves.
7. Realization of the JToaroo doctrine.
8. Alliance with European revolution against
foreign intervention. A ■
0. Protection of the freedom of the press
speech apalnet military usurpation.
10. Establishment of a national military system
similar to the Swiss system. Universal
obligation for military service.
11. Support of such candidates for public offices
as stand nearest to the principles laid down in
this platform.
DECLARATION.
I. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE.
The present, moro than previous time, ad
monishes ns to recognize, in the proclama
tion of equal human rights by the Declaration
of Independence, the only true fundamental
law of republican life, unfortunately disre
garded already In the Constitution and still
moze In party politics. To establish and pre
serve the harmony between the Constitution,
as well as politics, and the fundamental law,
is the only means cl putting an end to the
fatal consequences of that disregard, and of
converliogan ostensible republic Into a true
one.
n. THE QUESTION OF SUL,VEST AND THE WAS.
In the terrible-war against the slaveholders’
rebellion, the Republic must atone for the
great guilt of her post, bat at the same time
teek radical means for the security of her fu
ture. Without this understanding and this
resolve the Republic would infallibly work
her own destruction. Therefore every doHcf
must be pernicious which dooo uot respond to
the following
TTiww circumstances can a peaceable
agreement or compromise with the rebellion
be adopted. The rebellion cannot, ia conse
quence of Us potllion as a belligerent power,
conceded by the Federal Government and for
eign powers, loose the nature of the crime of
high treason, and it can, therefore, be termi
nated only by unconditional snomission.
2. The security ol peace is only attainable
in the removal of the cause ot the war, i. e. %
of slavery. For this reason the confiscation
law should be strictly enforced, and the pro
clamation of the Ist of January, 1863, be
maintained in the fullest extent, and, besides,
in the territories not included la this procla
mation, a positive decision on the abolition
of slavery, whether by voluntary action of
the States concerned, or by alawofCongress,
or by a military act, should, in the shortest
time possible, be brought on. The repeal
the Fugitive Slave Law should be one of the
first acts of the next Congress.
8. Rebellion and secession ore the forfeiture
of the rights ot State sovereignty, and em
power Congress to place the reconquered, re
bellious territories under its own direct ad
ministration, until a condition harmonizing
whhthat of tne free and loyal States has been
re-established.
i The lands confiscated by the United
States Government daring the war, should be
given In small portions only to actual settlers,
as far as they have not been granted to the
soldiers of the Republic and to the liberated
slaves.
in. EE VISION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
The Constitution of the United States re
quires a revision, in the spirit of the Declara
tion of Independence, and in accordance with
the principles herein espoused*
it. popular education in the south and
COLONIZATION OF THE NEGBOE3.
The want of education in the masses of
the people is cue of the main levers in the
hards of the secessionists, slaveholders and
all enemies of the Republic. Congress should,
therefore, take care of popular education not
only among the liberated slaves, bat also
among the rebels, in all the reconquered ter
ritories under Its jurisdiction.
The foreign colonization of the negroes
would neither be a benefit to them nor an
advantage to the country, while their settle
ment as free laborers on the confiscated lands
will bear better fruits to the nation and to
liberty than the former domain of their trai
torous masters.
V. FOREIGN POLICY.
Peace and amicable relations with friendly
nations, undisguised sympathy with the lib
eral tendencies of every people, but energetic
resistance against any organization of des
poticgovernments, especially with regard to
tbe Monroe doctrine, should be the rule of
our foreign policy.
The French Invasion of Mexico is nothing
hut a shameful act of wholesale robbery,
springing from greediness and ambition, be
gun nith hypocrisy and falsehood, continued
•with perfidy and malignity,‘tenmnatlng in
murder and tyranny. But it is at the same
time an audacious menace and a deep insult
to the people of the United States, to whom
the successful and overbearing murderer of
republics has thrown the gaunuet of war for
f-xtermioatlon. This menace and insult can
lose nothing of its character by the encour
agement with which it has met In the short
sighted and obsequious policy of the Admin
istration in Washington. The honor as well
as the safety of this Republic demand that
the dark schemes of the French usurper be
lolled by every means, and that the govern
ment of our sister republic, elected by the
people, be reinstated. And the strength of
the united States allows her, and the honor
of the Republic commands her, even now to
declare proudly and boldly that an end shall
and will be put to the schemes of the tyrant
' on this continent, by the will and power of
the free people of North America.
The so-called policy of non-intervention,
by which the avoidance of every foreign alli
ance w*s made a doctrine, does not any lon- ,
ger conform with the condition and demands
ol the present time; bnt In the coarse of
time the most fatal consequences mast be
brought on by a policy that would inaugurate
the disregard of Washington’s choice, oy an
alliance which is contrary to the character of
the republic, which must alienate from her
the sympathies of the nation of Europe, which
would convert her, at least morally, into a
tool of despotism as wily as it is barbarous,
and make her Indirectly the accomplice in a
cruel oppression of other nations. The most
worthy, powerful and natural ally of the
North American republic is the European
revolution, and every attempt ol an armed
intervention in the n Hairs of this continent,
should be answered by an intervention in fa
vor of the republican principle. For the
United States have it in their power to
obviatewithontdangerof great sacrifice, any
European attack by adding European revolu
tion, and to earn, together with the security
from any foreign intervention, the glory of in
itiatlng the liberation of the world.
SPECIAL POINTS.
I—UBEBTT OP PRESS AND SPEECH.
We consider the freedom ot the Press and
Speech as the first guaranty of all popular
and human rights. Tne constitution takes
the same stand in providing, in times of peril
even for the anspension ofthe act of habeas
corpus ; but under no circumstances a suspen
sion of free speech. Nevertheless, this impor
tant right must tcm*pobrily yield, like any
other, when necessity makes that power pre
vail, which implies the suspension of all
rights, namely, martial law. The executive
power has, therefore, the right, in those parts
which are actually in a state of war, as also in
those where danger temporarily requires a
proclamation of mortal law, to subject daring
that period the exercise of the freedom of the
Press and Speech to its permission. In all
other cases, however, any military or admin
istrative measures against the freedom of the
Press and Speech, ignoring the common
courts, can only be regarded as arbitrary and
despotic, and as a punishable violation ofthe
guaranteed rights of the people.
11-—MHJTABT SYSTEM,
We consider the introduction of a national
mmtary system, similar to that adopted In
bwltzerland. aa an urgent necessity of the
country, and declare oureelves for the repeal

that we should consider it aa Incompatible

2footed. That the German Convention, and the
organization to be created by it, places itself on
an entirely independent footing, ft forma no part
of any of the existing parties, sad cannot recog
nize any party obligations. Whenever it elves
support to one of these parties, because of the
identity of principles and purposes, such support
is recognized only ac a voluntary action, not as a
party service. Nor -will the organization be
merged in any future party as a member, without
a free will, or as a tool, but will Join the party

FROM CONSTISTINOPLG.
The American Question in Turkey.
The Turkish Iron*Cladi,
[From the N. T. Evening Post-]
Constaktisopls. Sept. SO, 1663.
News of the probable invasion of the Med
iterranean Bea and the Arcnipelago, by a new
Confederate cruiser, wa» received here some
dajs ago. It was said that a vessel called the
Southern would first appear at Malta, and
thence repair to some other port for the pur
pose of receiving her armament, a-jd crew,
to commence a series of piratical opera
tions against harmless and helpless mer
chant vessels. As yet she has not appeared.
There are very few American ships at this'
place, seldom more than one or two in the
course of a month, and these generally pro
' cr ed to the Black Bra for cargoes destined for
England or France, not owned by American
citizens. Through fear of this pirate, the
owner of an American bark called the Arme
nia—Mr. A. Azai ian.oi tne firm of C. Azman
& Co., of Boston, Mass.. —designed selling
her here, to place bea under Ottoman colors.
I have seen it stated in the local papers toat
her crew refuted to sail under any other col
ors than those of their own country, the stars
and stripes. This of course put au end ta the
affair, and she’has soiled for the United
States.
Tnfe reception of the pirate Florida at Brest
has created tbe impression in this part of the
world that the Emperor of France Is-strongly
desirous of recognizing the pseudo confeder
acy In connection with bis plans of Galliclsing
bis new conquest of Mexico, and that it is
only the peculiar attitude of England which
prevents it. • ' • '
ATTITUDE OF THE TUBEZSZT GOVEBNMENT.
By the by, some of the English ship-build
ers having said that they were building arm
ed steamers of Iron for the Ottoman govern
znent, I learn that the Forte is desirous it
should heknown that all the vesaels v whlch it
i is building in England are built by Napier of
Glasgow, and by Ford of the Thames Iron
Works 11 ofLondon. AU assertions to the con
trary are totally false. The Sultan's govern-
ZLCiit wiU not allow any confederate cruiser to
enter Its ports on any pretence whatever. Its
principle is not to admit the armed vessels of
any power which it does not recognize, or
with which It has no relations of amity, espe
cially if these are waging war against the vm
stla of those powers with whiottitnaa treaty
relations. la tw-» me Turk—the “barbarous
Turk” offersagoodleESontocivUized Europe.
And yet he takes no creditto himself for such
a position; it is natural to him, and grows
out of tbe rights of bread and salt, of which
ail the people oi the East entertain a high
estimate.
The question of the warintheUnltedSiates
interests very much all the higher class of toe
people in this country. Toeir papers, in
Turkish, Arabic, Armenian, Greek, &c.,
weekly publish accounts of it. All they know
is, that the North is averse to slavery ai:d the
South in favor of it, and this suffices to com-'
mend all toeir eympatoiea on the side of free
dom.
ABE THEBE MUSSULMAN SLATES IN THE UNITED
STATES.
1 possess a manuscript given me in 1850 by
a gentleman now dieceo&ed, then holding an
office at Washington, written in the Arabic
laz gnsge. The writing la fair and well exe
cuted. He told me that ic had been made by
an old black man, a slave, owned by a relative
of bis in North Carolina, who said that he had
been the secretary of a petty king on the
coast of Africa. I was surprised to find that
this manuscript was the first chapter of the
Koran, called the or the “ Opening.”
This poor old slave, long since, I presume,
“gathered to his fathers,” must have re
ceived considerable education previous to
being carried off by force and sold
in the United States. The writing
is in the Arabic character, and perfect in Us
execution. On showing tula to a high mem
ber ol the Ottoman government he at once
concluded that the writer might yet be living,
and that there might be now many other
Mussulmans in slavery In the United States.
This little Incident seems to show the
fidelity of the aged man to the faith of his
fathers—for there is every reason to suppose
that he continued to his death a pious Mus
sulman. What would the people of the Uni
ted States (North or South) say, did they
know of the existence in Africa of uneducated
ChrisUin fellcw-citizeh doomed to perpetual
slavery ? The now almost-forgotten narra
tive cf Captain Reilly, and the ransom paid
for bis liberation, -show clearly what; sacri
fices would be made for such a captive.
COLORED TROOPS.
The Sultan, as if to set an example to the
United States, has collected together the col
.ored soldiers at the capital into one regi
ment, and placed them under colored Aoni
cers. Some eight days ago, at the fete or the
Merlud (birth of the prophet), they took part
in the usual military precession, and were
much admired by the Europeans present.
They seemed better thus than when distrib
uted in the white regiments, and possessed
of more pride and ambition. .There is no
prejudice here against them, and they pos
sess all the civil privileges of the white sub
jects of the Saltan.
A WHITE MAN TURNING BLACK.
A singular case lately occurred here of a
white man becoming black, and I send you
the result of an examination made ot him by
Dr. Dickson, physician oi the British em
bassy.
Dr. MUUnger, a practising physician of this
place, and once the doctor ot Lord Byron in
his lost illness at MlssolongM lately made
the discovery of tte Canons Temple of Jupi
ter .Urins, erected by the people of Chalce
don (now Kadi Kieng), where “ ancient mar
kers,” bound for tho inhospitable Eaxioe,
Worsnipped and. offered up votive offerings to
the god of gods—and will make excavations
of the site by the Sultan’s order. An inscrip
tion taken from this temple and conveyed to
Cbalcedonis, where, several years ago, it was
accidentally found, is now in the British Mu
seum.. Hearn that the remains of this tem
ple are within the precincts of the old “ Gen
oese Tower,” on the Asiatic Bosphorus, the
narrowest part of the straits; its portal is
clearly visible, partly now under ground. It
Is remarkable that so few ancient remains qre
found on the Bosphorus, where once existed
so many fine temples. Time and the bawd of
man have quite obliterated the edifices once
the objects of hie veneration.
NEW PALACES,
The Saltan is becoming quite as expensive
In his habits as his late brother, the weak
though gentle-hearted Abdnl Medjld. A fire
lately consumed all of the wooden palace near
the water’s edge on “Seraglio Point,” occu
pied by his late brother’s harem. This is to
be re-built tt on immense cost; so are the pal
aces of Tcheraglan and Beybenbey,&Qd several
kiosks on the Bosphorus. To do this a Mr.
Oppenbeim, a banker has been sent to Paris
and London to raise a loan of $50,000,000.
The troops ont of the capital, in the mean
time, have not been paid for twelve, twenty
and even thirty months, and all of the em
ployees of the Porte are in arrears of their
salaries some four and six months.
Sfaxlmillazi’s Gold Sceptre.
[Paris (Oct. 2,) cor, of Liverpool Journal.]
The golden sceptre to be presented by the
Mexican deputation to the Archduke Maxi
milian -wag seen by a few of the initiated in
Paiis during the stay of the notables here.
It is a thick gold stick about the size, in
circumference of a very fat Alderman’s thumb
and of about eighteen Inches in length. The
f-old is from the mines of Mexico, and the four
urge emeralds which adorn the handle are
likewise of Mexican produce. The ruby fixed
at the end, and which Is said to send back the
seven rays ol the star in the sunlight, was
taken from the watch chain oflturblde, where
that nafortunate monarch wore it for some
time, always with the intention of having it
engraved as a signet ring, indicative of the
imperial dignity which it was his intention to
have, borne with so much magnificence. The
Jltuton lnto,which the head of the sceptre is
carved, represents something very like &feur
de Us, at which onr gazers here were most as
tonished. But Mexican art has not as yet
reached a very high standard, and the exact
emblem intended for representation is net
absolutely evident to the sight. The sceptre
Is rich enough and will serve os an imperial
policeman’s baton, to be used according to
the great inspector’s orders. It is apity that
ihe same notables who come provided with
the sceptre for governing the people of Mex
ico, do not comq with instructions how to use
it. The first false movement in the exercise
of this new and strange weapon—the first
thrust, will render the bearer liable to the
same foie as that of his predecessor—while it
is scarcely long enough, thick enough, to ex
ecute a. party without a risk of being shivered
to atoms.

The principal summits of the White
Mountains arc uowcovercd with snow, which
extends several miles down their sides. The
houses on Mount Washington were abandon
ed for the season last weex. The snow was a
foot deep near the buildings, and three miles
below the summit it was eight inches deep.
Persons who ascended the mountain after the
fbstfall of snow, gays tae Boston Transcript,
were richly repaid by the magnlficebt views
obtained, and the strange coutrast between
ibe winter on the summit and the autumn
brilliancy of the broad laadicape.

Tbe Railroads and the Fair*
Shabon, Wis., Oct. 28,1833.
Editors Chicago Tribune: '
There Is one feature In connection with the
the Northwestern Fair which seems to deserve
special mention. While the people of the North
west have given freely ana Jibe-ally of their tlms
aid means, and while the mercantile and manuta>
taring o ganlzations of tne country havo vied with
each oih« r in their efforts to maxo the Fair a great
t-un eee, tbeßailro&a Companies nave beeasUauae
folly niggard]? and penurious, and theiractloahos
bad, and will have during the remainder of the
F»lr, a tendency to keep the people away, rather
than to attract them.
It hat been the practice when Fairs or Conveu
tier e. or even If ss reputable gatherings have beea
held, for tbe Haihoad Companies to Issue tickets
at at y time during the continuance of tbe meet
ing, which tickets were good to return on, during
a certain tpecifled time. And after the Immense
increase of railroad traffic occasioned Djtho war,
which has bentilued railroads more than any other
of tho business interests of tbe country; when
the patriotic people of the Northwest determined
to have mgreat Festival, which should not only be
an horor and a source of pleasure to themselves,
■but a substantial benefit to tbe sick and suffering
solditra of our glorious Union army; they
had a right to expect that the rail
roads would do at least os much to
to contribute to Its success, as they had been in
tl« babit of doing for a horse-race or some other
catchpenny affair. Bntwbatare the facts? Let
tbe conduct of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad answer. Several dayaago.hanabiila wore
ported In this vicinity, giving the details of tho
railroad arrangements, whereby the C. A N. W.
R. R. were to carry passengers from Jancsviiio and
south, on Wednesday, O t doth, with tho privilege
of y**«*rutnp on tne some ticket, up to and Includ
ing Friday, the 30tb imt. This would eeam to be
a tmall f»vor, under tho circumstances, as it re
stricted passengers to one particular day in which
to go, whether it suited their convenience or not.
lint even so small a sacrifice as this was too great
for tbe C &N.W.R. R. to make; this paltry con
cession was more than their patriotism and benev
olence combined could stand: and on Tuesday
night, at 9 o'clock, the sgect at this place received
orders to sell half-faro tickets for tbe train lewlr"
htre at 8 o'clock a. m the next day, and for no
otter train. Thus those who, relying oa thestite
mtnts in the handbills, had mode their arrange
ments to go on tho afternoon train, were deceived
and disappointed, and compelled to pay full fire.
Docs not this look very much like a swindle?
There is no reason for supposing that other Com
panies arc any better in this reepect than the C. &
N. W., and it Is really disgusting to seethe penn
rioasnees and want of patriotism exhibited by
these soulless monopolies, on an occasion like
this. Rcepectfhlly yours, Wisconsin.
We have received letters from several points on
other roads, making the same complaints as those
made by “ Wisconsinand while we have no de
sire to make an example of onr friends of the
“Northwestern,” we publish this as a sample of
what is being sold of others who are “ In the same
boat.” We leave it to the railroad companies to
take such action in the matter as they deem to be
tbelr duly in the premises. Oar railroad men are
generally among the foremost in patriotism and
liberality.
According to the arrangements at present exist
ing, tbo following named railroad companies bavo
generously concerned to famish tickets over their
respective roads at one-half the usual rates,' dar
ing the days named—some roads not named having
already passed their day:
