' The virtuous Morton is not so virtuous as be might be, and feels bound to hang en to bis old absurdities delivered before the Preside ut at Washington last spring, at the serenade speech.

This will leave Thompson a majority of between two and three thousand in the district Now, unless gratitude has fled to brutish blasts, a "gemmtu ob color" will be totted out as Luther Donalds n's as. sociate on the Representative ticket. The vacancy on that ticket is a monument of Radical ingratitude. - Chairman Harrison must find these clerks in Washington, (where be is engaged in helping Grant along with civil service reform) a very obstinate and obdurate class. They have no bowels of compassion for the needs of the office-seekers at borne. The annexed is an ts sociated press dispatch from Washington a day or two old. It is one of the prods used to stir up the clericals : The Ohio association of government office-holders here are drawing np a set of resolutions denouncing such heads of departments as retain Democrats in office or appoint ex-Confederates. The resolutions Bcemed to be particularly aimed at Postmaster General Creswell for appointing au ex Confederate soldier to a clerkship.Tills Republicans have, nominated a candidate for Representative in Summit county who is either a persecuted saint or prodigious siouer, The lust olTense lie is charged with is sheep-stealing, setting fire to his own house to get the insurance money, etc. Theauti-make-free-with-your neighbor's sheep section of the Radical party have got out an independent candidate. The Democrats have also a candidate, whose record on the sheep question is nnexceptionable. The people of the Reserve some of them have the reputation of squeezing a quarter until the eagle squeals. In Summit couuty the prospects are that the Radical candidate will be squeezed until the sheep bleat. It is all wrong to send this man to the Legislature, Congress is the place for liim. The amount of the State debts is in tie neighborhood of $350,000,000. It is thus divided into groups of States : New England States $ 33,000,000 00 Southern States lg-2.C00.0C0 00 Western Slate. 37,000,000 00 M.aaie state. tji.-jooxou uo PatiBc States , 4,000,000 CO It will be seen that the great amount of the debt is in the Southern States. It has accumulated there since the war, by the rascally and thieving carpet-bag and negro State Governments, with which military tyranny bas afflicted the peo ple. Thus they have run up a debt in Virginia of nearly 50,000,000, in North Carolina $30,000,000,inTenneesee $33,000,-000, in Alabama (16,000,000, aod Louis Una $-32,OCO,000. A large part of these debts have been literally stolen from the State Treasuries. An independent "people's" ticket has been finally agreed on in Cuyahoga conn ty. The convention on Saturday night, at Cleveland, mado the following nomi nations : For State Senators Bufus P. K-inney, E. D. Burton, For Representatives James M. Hoyt, II. M. Chanirr, .S. H. Sheldon, George F. Marshall, Jacob Kethweller. Two Democrats and firo Republicans. It is believed they will be elected. Some of tbe most prominent Republicans o Cleveland engaged in tbe convention General ELWElI. presided orer the tem porary organization of tbe convention, and speeches were mado by the perma nent President, Hon. Jons Hotchiss, Joseph Pekkins, Judge Spauldihg, and others. John Sherman would do well to st and from nnder. ' The prompt denial by the people and Federal officials of Spartanburg, South Carolina, of .

Pennsylvania, September 12.

Stati Journal. That, and much more of the same sort is the way the Journal rambles. The Cincinnati Commercial correspondent did np the meeting in a special telegram which states : Quite the smallest meeting held by Re publicans during the present oampaign, except peruana tne &aneavuie lauure, was gathered in the court -room in re sponse to the vigorous ringing ot toe court-nonse bell ana a tew pieces oy tee brass band, to bear a discussion of polit ical issues by the Republican candidate for Uovernor. " Yon paya your money and yon takes your choice." MORE TBALI5S. Secretary Boutwkll is at bis come a Massachusetts gathering and shaping material to assail General Morgan be-caus of the latter's speech criticising the loose and- corrupt way the Treasury Department is managed. We don't suppose it will make any difference where Bout wkll is, the stealing will go on. He has Baiixxys, Shooks, Si-krs, and other fish of that sort hanging all around him. The New York Tribune of Saturday last says : As we anticipated, the Treasury De partment is beginning to gather its for- j oes to repel the charge that it is responsible for the long security w ith which Pay master Hodge carried on nis iranus on the Government now increasing in reported extent. It is ascertained that the beginning ot the deceptions was as long ago as 18(55. This is amazing. The system which permits suoh frauds to continue, uninterrupted, so long, is monstrous. In how many other sett of amounts hat there been equal looteneet t . A good many. On the first of July, 1370, the Internal Revenue Collectors owed the Government over twelve millions of dollar ; another brilliant illustration of Boutwell's management. It is to be hoped, in the speeches he is to make in Ohio before election, be will not insult our taxpaytri by the idoa that nobody is to blame that every thing is lovely that we have paid so many millions of the debt.

September 18, 1371 THE TAMMANY WAR. The latest phases of the municipal fight is creating the greatest excitement everywhere throughout tbe city. Connolly's action comes like a thunder-clap upon Hall, Sweeney and their adherents. All day yesterday and last night the Mayor and bis friends were closeted in consultation. The fight is now reduced to one between Hall and Connolly and their respective followers. Hall's disposition is shown by his removal of Connolly, thus exercising power which be has already declared be did not possess. The actiou of Tilden, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, is aimed at the destruction of tbe ring, and the attempt of Hall to checkmate him will probably result in a crisis, concerning which it is impossiDie to speculate. THE MUNICIPAL SITUATION. The Herald, which yesterday was wholly silent npon the municipal situa' tioD. to-dav pronounces in favor of HalL and thinks the uontroner naa oeiter retire from bis ottioe. I he uontroner sent the following letter to the Mayor about half past 11 o'clock this morning: Controller's Office, September 18th. To Bon. A. Oakley Ball, Mayor, My Dear Sir: I have read in tbe morn in r capers only your letter of this date, and beg leave thus promptly to inform you that as advised, I have not either in fact or equivalent resigned the office of Controller of the city of New York. I deny the authority in law In the Mavor to exerciee the power attempt ed by yonr favor, and in partial support of the dsfuial quote the words oi your lor- jner communication: I, the Mayor, can not suspend any head of department, not even T-endine an investigation. 1 can only prefer charges to the Common Pleas, who alone can remove after a con siderable time for trial." My previously announced determination not at present to retire from official position is still un changed. By the appointment of An drew H. Uie;n Deputy Controller, have endeavored to guard the publio In terest committed to my care. In such ef forts, while calling critical attention to the events of the past forty-eight hours, including your cfiicial acts and my own, I ask the support of that supreme power, the publio sentiment of the citizens of New York and tbe State. Very respectfully, yoora, Bichabd B. Conkollt, Controller. THE PRESS ON THK SITUATION. The IVifcrnte looks with favor npon the move among leading anu-rammany Democrats to put down corruption, and says it was not possible for the Republi can party alone to carry out the great and radical reforms which are needed in tbe administration of this city. It is only by a combination of all honest well mtentioned citizens that we can hope to do anything toward eradicating the inveterate evils of years ot lraud and waste. The Timet says that the guilt of Hall, Sweeney, Tweed and Connolly can be es tablished from papers in the Controller's oSice; facts yet to come out will startle tio public from one end of the country to the other, ana will stagger even the brazen impudence of the rine advocates. We are entitled to speak with authority npon this subject. The Tribune thinks it is a matter of congratulation that the affair has taken this turn. There was a disposition to strengthen the bands of tbe Mayor when he seemed anxious to turn light npon the doines of tbe ring; oat his late action was mereiv an attempt vu euue invest! gation, and, by sacrificing Connolly, to divert attention from the stronger and abler xocues who were to remain power. The World's article yesterday, accusing Tilden and other Democratic leaders who are co-operating witb him, with entering into a conspiracy with Republicans.. created immense surprise. That paper, to-day, says that .Connolly was persuaded into the course be took by promises that he would have protection from the consequences of his conduct, and declares that the new dodge was approved by the Murphy men, as it is thought quite certain to so demoralize the whole Democratic front as to secure the State for the Radicals in November. This Jesuit will be claimed by the Murohy men as their work. The rural Democracy will sustain Til-den. Many of the country leaders have been here for several days,and have given free expression to their disapprobation of the conduct of the Hall and Sweeney faction. --j The effect of Connolly's action is to plaoe the immense moneyed power of the Controllers offlee in the hands of the bitterest Democrats of Tammany: .'Judge Barnard's inionotion will be practically treated as a nullity by Hardmyer, . who bat oromised the Comptroller and his new deputy to call all the presidents of banks together and furnish all the money nec essary to carry on the government, pay its legitimate running expenses, and pro vide for the laborers. T Mayor Hall, it is said, has repeatedly said .that if Connolly did not resign he would resign. If the Mayor should resign, the President of the Board of Aldermen wonld become acting Mayor, bnt he would not have the power of appointing any heads of departments that might be come vacant, as, acoording to the new charter, that power would be vested in the Controller; bo that in case of the Mayor's resignation, Andrew H. Green would be virtually Mayor until Febrn- THK VIADUCT RAILWAY. The viaduct railway enterprise in this city, wbioh was started some weeks ago, appears to have been overlooked in consequence of the exciting occurrences which have lately arisen. There is much anxiety felt about the project, and the public are in the dark as to the delay in the proceedings. Parties who have the business in hand, however, are men cf the first standing in the community. GENERAL M'CLKLLAN. It is unknown yet whether General McClellan will accept the Controller-ship. Connolly is at his office to-day, and Green this morning formally entered upon bis duties. An opinion is looked for to-day from an eminent lawyer, Charles O'Connor, taking the view that while Connolly's conrse is sustained by law Halls is not. uonnolly is in possession, and it is thought he will resist any attempt to oust him. Controller Connolly, in reply to Hall's letter, denies the anthotity the latter exercises, and declares bis determination not to retire unchanged.Green, the new Deputy Controller, has just delivered to a committee of citizens and aldermen all documents in the Controller's office required in the investigation of the municipal accounts. Mayor Hall's clerk this morning refused to file the official oath of Green. Upon entering npoa the discharge of the duties of his office, the new Deputy Controller, Green, immediately donbled the detective force in the Controller's office, and placed ten policemen m the office, for the purpose of preventing the abstraction of important papers. The accounts are now bemg straightened by force of experts, and an accurate state- ment of tbe condition of the treasury will soon be made public. New combinations are to be lormed among tbe politicians, it is rumorea that the Germans and Irish will go with the Tilden movement. There is great alarm among the candidates for local offices on account ot the formation of a new Democratic city committee. Tbe friends of Connolly declare that Hall's folly bas disrupted tbe Democratic party and destroyed Tammany. THE STOLEN VOUCHERS. At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen to-day a communication was received from Mayor Hall requesting authoriza tion to oner a reward oi one tnousana dollars for such information as wonld lead to the discovery of the persons that were concerned in the stealing ot vouch ers. Judire Led with and a delegation of a committee of citizens waited upon acting Controller Greene and assured him of their support. Charles O Connor, tbe emicent lawyer, has prepared an opinica a which he holds that uonnoiiy is legally In possession ot tne ouioe oi wonuouer, and that Mayor Hall bas no power ro re move him. or's letter In consennence of tbe May- I to the heads of the various departments, repudiating all official knowledge of Controller Connolly or Andrew 11. Ureene, as his deputy, tne city paymaster has refused to pay any more warrants issued and signed by either of them. The laborers who are now boldine warrants for their work, will be refused payment, and to many of these there is at least a month s pay due. All oublio works will therefore have to be stopped, and over lour thousand men thrown ont of employment. There was all sorts ot rumors iu circu lation dnrinff tbe day and evening . in reference to the municipal difficulty, many of which were of the most im probable character. Late in tne alter- noon it was hinted about that Hall would probably resort to force to get possession of tbe Controller's office, in consequence of wbicb Connolly took all precautionary measures necessary for an expected emergency. He remained at his offioe thronehout the day and was constantly receiving calls from prominent citizens, from whom he received manifestations of no iKrt. His private counsel, Hon. Sam-1 nol U. Courtney, late united states Attor-1 nev. and judge lieacn were witu mm most ot the time, together with a few other leaders of tbe new reform move ment. Courtney has been the legal adviser of Connolly for several days. It is believed that from his well known anti-Tammany proclivities that be was mainly instru mental in dictating the course which the Controller bad taken. This evening jur. Courtney, in delivering to Greene the kava belonerin!? to the Deputy control ler's office, informed that gentleman that Mr. Connolly placed upon him no onus in hich would result tasine that course w in thoroughly developing every fact con- nnected with tbe financial affairs of the citv, whoever might be elfected thereby, and it was expected that be would do nis duty without tear or tavor. MAYOR HALL'S ULTIMATUM . Mayor Hall has notified all the city de partments that he does not recogaize ether uonnoiiy or ureen. THE BEEKMAN STREET DISASTER. The verdict of the Coroner's iurv. len derea tms aiternoon, noius the proprie tors of tbe Beekman street establishment, where the fatal explosion of fire works took place, responsible for the lives lost. Goldschmidt, one of the propriet irs, was killed by tbe explosion, and his funeral took place to day. Kcnber, another pro prietor, is in the Tombs in default ot 10.000 bail. The project of starting anew German moraine paper in this city, which was suggested some time ago, will shortly be carried into effect. It is said that sufficient capital has been pledged to insure the success of the enterprise. ANOTTIER COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN KN GLAND. A London paper gives thd following account of a colliery explosion near Wegan on tbe sixth inst : At 11 o'clock in the morning, as the men in nine feet cannel were at work, and two sinkers were descending the cast shaft with men to join their feaows below, a blast was beard from down the cast like a dis charge from a cannon, followed by a ter rible diecharge of soot and smoke from up the cast, . which lasted AVAral mirtntoit and wan scattered by a Slight Trreere bver '. the adjaoerit fields.

When tbe first exploring party descended down the shaft they found three men alive at the furnace, which is placed fn an upper seam known as'oor-faoL" They then descended to nine feet, where were a number f -dead bodles'and several colliers calling for water.

A eonsulta Uon was held and it was decided to break up the shaft, as? there could be ao doubt that all below were dead, and that there was tbe greatest danger in any further examination of the mine. The dead numbers sixty-nine, of whom sixty-two are colliers, day laborers aad drawers la. the "nine feet' seam, and six are sinkers in the upcast shaft. They are buried beneath the 1 debris."

The Tribune, this niorninjr, has au ed itorial showing that the proposed watering of tbe stock of tbe Lake Shore railway is a violation of the Constitution of the State of Illinois., Article 11, section 3, provides that no railroad corporation, organized and doing business in that State, under the laws or authority thereof, shall issue any stock or bonds except for money, labor or property actually received, and applied to the purposes for which such corporation was created ; i and all stock; dividends and other ficti tious increase or the capital stocs, or in debtedness of any such corporation, shall be void. The actual stock: of no rail road corporation shall be increased for any nnrjMOse except upon giving" sixty" day's " public notice in such manner as may be provided by law. The La1- e Shore Railroad Company is the result of the consolidation of several railway companies, including the Michigan Southern and Northern Indi ana, which is authorized by the laws of Illinois to do business in this state. As the State of Illinois has not by any special or general law authorized the Lake Shore Company to issue any stock in excess of the capital paid for the construction and equipment of the road, it follows that this watering process is in violation of tbe Constitutiou of tbe State. At ten o'clock this forenoon the Grand Lodge of the United States I. O. O.

One prisoner was brought three hontred miles at the last court, charged with an assault and battery upon the Biccerstaffs. Two thousand dollars bail was required ; he tendered bail and tbe court refused it. After being confined during the dog-days in a filthy jail.tifteen in a cell e eat by ten, one ci the prosecu tors declares that he is tbe wrong man." The same paper goes on to give the follow in c specifications among tbe ar rests : Wilev S. Walker, Esq., a well known citizen of Polk county, was forced from his door at a moment's warning, leaving his wife confined in bed, carried fifteen miles to Rutherford jail, where be suf- 1 fered much for food and water, and on ly escaped by giving bail in $2,000 to ap- pearat Kaieigh this month. "Uncle Wi ley" is about seventy years of age, and has scarcely physical strength enough to sit on a horse, and yet is charged with midnight raiding, whipping ne groes, etc ' Captain Crowell Camp, a gentleman of wealth and standing, is charged by an idle negro with having "Ku-Kluxed" him, and although the Captain proves an alibi by seven witnesses, he is bound in $2,000 to appear at Raleigh. : Rev. J. T. Campbell, a Baptist minis ter in regular standing, now lies in Kaieigh jail. Mr. C. was arrested at church three several times by three different deputy marshals, eaoh of whom hoped to earn his fee for making the arrest. There is no doubt of his innocence. Rev. Berry Rollins, well known all over Western North Carolina, was arrested, bound over to a later date, and put to great trouble, expense and indignity before his final release. Jonathan Whitesidee, a gray -haired confederate, who left a leg at Petersburg, now lies in Raleigh jail, charged with Ku-Kluxincr, etc. When tbe deaf and dumb and blind are taken in the act of midnisht raiding, Mr. Whiteside and bis orutch ought to be indicted, but surely not until then. N. Thome, Esq., an aged and much es teemed gentleman, was arrested for interposing to save the life of bis sen, but this case bas been published heretofore. Fred. A Shotwell was arrested aod has been held for nearly three months on bare' suspicion, it being next to a certainty that he knew nothing of the so-called Ku-Klux organization previous to his incarceration.These are said to be mere specimen cases in a list which embraces scores of victims. An incident of the method of handling prisoners is given as follows: "One bright, beautiful Sabbath morning (August 20th) Andrew Scoggin, deputy marshal, made his appearance at Rutherford jail, and notified seven prisoners to be ready to move in ten minutes. Now, most of these persons were many miles from home, and had been deluded by tbe belief that they would not be re. moved for weeks, and consequntly were without extra clothing, money, etc., necessary to . be comfortable at a distance from their friends. But there could be no delay. In ten minutes Messrs. J. H. Sweeney, J. R. Padgett and John Cooley were taken forth and handcuffed together, three to a chain; afterwards Messrs. R. A. Shotwell, F. A. Shotwell and William G. Egerton were treated in like manner. The last named gentleman suffered from the iron cutting his flesh for several hours, until the shackles were enlarged, at the suggestion of a humane gentleman, a member of the Radical party. The prisoners were then brongbt down, thrust into covered wagons, surrounded by a guard of twenty or thirty 'deputies' armed with cavalry carbines, when finally tbe cavalcade moved off with Colonel L. Harris, J. B Carpenter, and others of like notoriety in front, and many negroes en fear. Inspiring spectacle for a free country and a civilized community ! To appreciate it you must understand that these prisoners were gentlemen of respectability, education and social standing. THE mDEBPOOL VERDICT. Remit of a Remarkable Murder Trial in Michigan. Two years ago, on tbe 5th of Septem-ber,"1869, in Manistee, Michigan, Herbert Field, tbe partner of George Vander-pool, mysteriously disappeared. Ten days later bis dead body was found in Lake Michigan, bearing unmistakable marks that be bad come to his death by violence. George Vanderpool was arrested for tbe murder. On the morning of Sunday, tbe 5thi the day on which Field was last seen, he and Vanderpool dissolved their partnership, Field retiring, and tbe two men went togetner to a store aojoining tneir bank to obtain tbe signatures of witnesses to the paperB containing their final agreement. With the exception ot a single witness, who was positive that he saw Field later in the day, there was no record that his existence continued au hour beyond the time that be and Vanderpool were supposed to have returned to tne bass:, mat tney uia so return, and that then and there Vanderpool robbed and murdered Field, and conveyed his body to the lake, has been the theory of the prosecution from the beginning to the end. Seeming forgeries in their books, an incongruity between Field's private memorandum of the amount-to which he was entitled, and the figures representing that amount in the firm ledger; Vanderpool's absence from home during a portion of the day, and his return in the afternoon weariDg Field's pants and vest ; bis possession ot cold which was seen in Field's hands on the Drevious Saturday: his havin? cat out and burned several feet of the carpet on the bank floor, and the presence of blood on the boards whence the carpet had been removed all these circum stances seemed to make the case clear against Vanderpool, and on his first trial, which took place in Manistee, he was convicted and sentenoed to State's, prison for life. His counsel obtained a new trial, with chanseof venue to Kalamazoo county; his own resources had become exhausted, and a subscription, was taken up through out the State to pay tne expenses oi counsel and witnesses, many of the latter being indigent and hundreds ot nn.es away. The trial was conducted with I great vigor on both sides, and resulted in tbe Disagreement oi tne jury. Change of venue was then taken to Barry county; no new testimony was developed on either side. Vanderpool ex plained the burned carpet, and the borrowing of pants and vest from Field, as baving been made necessary oy sicKness which he could not control; and while be had considerable positive assertion on his side, the prosecution were confined to one oi tne strongest cuaius ui circumstantial evidence that ever encircled a prisoner. The case was given to the jury on Wednesday, September 13, and after an absence ot stx Hours tney returnea a verdict of aoquittal. It is due to the eminent counsel on both sides to say that tbe result of the trials was more dependent npon their competitive abilities than upon the testimony in tbe case. The devotion of Vanderpool's young wife to her husband during his imprisonment, her friendless condition, and Arm belief in nis innocence, am mnou iu influence publio opinion in tbe State, which, at the outset, was almost solidly arrainnf. him. The testimony certainly pointed to Vanderpool as the murderer of r iela, but no man saw mm uo tue ueeu, and the jury preferred to free a possible murderer rattier tuan snape so latai verdict on circumstantial evidence. BAI.I.OT-ItOX (ORBIPTION. Tyrauay ia a United Stale. '.Navy Yard. Here is the way the workingmenin the Government Navy-yard at Vallej'o, Cali fornia, were treated by the minions of a tyrannical and corrupt Administration at the late election. "NVe quote from the SoUnn Democrat, of the 9th inst., the following : "We wish that every voter in America ennlil have witnessed the scene enacted in Valleio on election day. If it did nnfc dismast them thoroughly with Republicanism it would ' be because they are hopelessly corrupt themselves. We wish they could have seen the long strings of men who were driven to tbe polling-places by the foremen of the navy-yard, and compelled to vote an open pasteboard ticket, about half an inch wide by five inches long. Tbe officers of election bad screens built in front ot the polling-places high enough to protect the men from the scrutinizing eyes of their bosses, so that they might have an opportunity to vote without intimidation, but this interfered witb the plans of the foremen, who went early in the morning and tore off tbe planks. They stationed themselves at each polling-plaoe. A person peddled the tickets and saw that they were depositsd, while another stood by with a book containing all the names of the Navy Yard employes voting at the precinct, and checked off such as dared to vote against the will of their masters. The men marched np in a line, and were not permitted to have tickets until they were ready to deposit them. We never in our life witnessed so humiliating a sight." Dr. M. C. Cotton, of Nashville hts been studying the peculiarities of rattlesnakes. He has bad one in bis posses sion, confined in a class cacev since tbe 15th of May, and from that date lip to a few days ago it has not partaken of a particle of food, though it bas been tempted with mice and other small ani mals on wbicb the reptile is accustomed to feed. He thought it was a male until he discovered that it had given birth to seven yonng snakes, each from nine to fifteen inches in length, and with a full button on the tail, clearly refuting the idea that they have to be six manths old before the formation of the button. Dr. Cotton represents that he once before kept in a cage a large sized rattlesnake for three years and nine months, and that he studied closely its moods and changes. For nine months it did not partake of a particle of food, and but little of water. It shedded its skin twice a year, a new rattle appearing at each shedding, which explodes the popular notion that but one rattle comes a year. Thk Richmond (Virginia) Enquirer of the 15tb inst. says a gentleman connected with that office has just received a letter from a friend, who resides at Dorking, in England, wherein the following interesting passage occurs : " The papers are all talking about a battle at this place in which the Prussians gained a great victory over us. I assure you it is a blasted hoax a bloody canard from beginning to end. I've been at Dorking al 1 my life, and I ought to know, yon know. You must forgive my English bluntness, but I fear you newspaper people, like the balance of the world, are much giving to lying." The Enquirer had Its doubts about the battle at the time it was reported, but bas them now no longer. The field of Dorking has to be yet lost and won. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
