45 AND 47 CHAMBERS STREET. Opposito Now Court House oil let" cal policy which las been forced upon me, "I am not fulfilling the wishes of "the people. I can go back to tho Constitution "as the basis of settlement, and abandon tho obstacles which have been placed in tho way of peace, in tho belief that they would scare "tho South into the abandonment of resis taucc by imposing on its prolongation terri "ble penalties." Under such circumstances tluie is every reason to beliove that Mr. Lincoln, before the close of his term of office, could restore peace on the of Pm Union, and tho people would forget tne troubles his administration brought with it, iu the goncval rejoicing which would follow their termination. Take the oilier, alternative, supposo that Mr.

Lincoln is re elected; ono half, or nearly ono half, of the people of the North will have condemned his policy by their votes' The North will be divided; the South seeing no hope but in resistance will take up the straggle with renowed zeal, and the spectacle will be presented to the world of a Republic endeavoring to force upon the people of half its territory, a policy of government which two thirds of its people condemn. To carry on the government under such circumstances would be to burlesque the principles upon which free Ecpublican governments are based. But the shadow of a Ecpublican form of government would remain, and even that would Sioon be dispelled by tho reflection of the despotism which would supercede it. A Poijticax Swindle. For two weeks past Mr.

John B. Gough has been advertised in our columns to deliver new temperance lecture at the Academy of Music. Partly on account of the reputation Mr. Gough enjoys 1 in his speciality of temperance, but chiefly through the efforts of the Young Men's Christian Association, under whose auspicos tho lecture was given, the house was crowded, the tickets of admission being fifty cents. After getting this audience together under promise to deliver a temperance lecture, Mr.

Gough made a Lincoln stump speech. This was nothing less than taking moacy under false pretences, and would justify the indictment of Gough as a common swindler. We have always regarded Cough as a good deal of charlatan, but on his hobby temperance he is clever, as an actor, rather than an orator. On any other subject than temperance he is a very common place speaker. There are fifty Republican orators on the stump in this state who could deliver a much batter political speeeh than Gough, and would delight in the opportunity of getting such a large audienca to listen to them, without charging anything forad raission.

Gough's performance, last night, was a barefaced fraud, and one of tho smallest tricks the Republicans have yet resorted to. It will now be understood that Mr. Gough is on the stump for Lincoln, and those who choose to pay fifty cents for a di. lution of the Tribune billingsgate can do so, others forewarned will not be swindled 0ut of their money and then insulted. The Young Men's Christian Association who engaged Mr.

Gough to deliver the lecture are not responsible for the trick he played. We have the assurances of the officers of that association that they were informed by Mr. thai his new lecture was on temperance, aad they so announced it in good faith, and that they had no intimation from Gough that he had eeleeted any other subject, until ho commenced the delivery of the lecture. TUESDAY, EVENING. OCT.

11. Tiiis Vayer lias the leanest Circulation of any Evening Payer pnbiiiat in the Sfattet' Stalest it? vnsneas an Medium is thereloie uppaient. let the Issues be Faiily Presented. Of tbo result of tlio Firesiileiit'ial election we would entertain 110 doubt vdintcver if the questions at issue were fairly preseutcrl to tho pco. pie.

Tlie administration journals persist in raisreprcsentiiig them, kcnu labos wo believo to deceive the people by holding out to them hopes which they know cannot be roolized. It is daily reiterated, for instance, that the' war is about over, and that all that is necessary to do to bring it to a triumphant close, is to elect Mr. Lincoln. On the other hand it is claimed that if McClellan is successful the labels will be strengthened in their opposition and v.111 prolong it in tho hope that they will be able to securo from Gen. McClellan a concession of the independence of tho South.

It requires no near deep penetration into tho motives by which human action is controlled to refute this monstrous fallacy. Sir. Lin. coin's policy intensifies opposition to the government by placing on the side of the rebellion every incentive for resisting the supremacy of the general Government, on the part of tie Southern people. The South behoves right or wrong that the maintenance of their present labor system is essential to the production of the great staples upon which the prosperity of the Southern States depends.

Even at the North, it will be conceded thai the immediate and forcible abolition 0 slavery will result in the sacrifice of the interests of both the white and negro races. There is no more intricate question in tour politics than that growing out of the existence of slaT erj. The prohlem of disutrbing the relativo conditions of the whit2 and black race in the South, seems simple to the short sighted men now in power, but no more intricate question was ever presented to a statesman. To abolish slavery in opposition to the public sentiment of the States in which slaves are held, and in which, we assume, it is intendod they shall remain, is to bring both races in direct and immediate antagonism, and to espose the weaker race to a fate from which escape fo a servitude such as exists in the South, would bo a beneficicnt xelc ase. If history proves anything, it is that superior and inferior race of people cannot live together on terms of equality, except at the price of their common degradation.

In aholisbing slavery in the Northern States when it was found that it was no longer profitable, the wildest enthusiast never dreamed of emancipating the negroes, until an oportanity was given to those who owned slaves to prepare them in some degree for freedom. Even here, where the negro was released from servitude lender a system which the slaveholder himself desired, the negro has been a pariah. What would ho be, in a country upon which the slave was forcibly thrown in p. new position, in direct opposition to the interests and the judgment of the white race To give tho negro freedom and to withhold from him political equality, would be to confer upon him a sorry favor: to give him political equality among a people which is unanimously opposed to it. can be dene only by subjecting the white race to the political inequality from which the negro is relieved.

This is Hr. Lincoln policy, and the fact will not bo disoutod thai the slave Slates, whctl ci'm or out oi' the Union, nre unanimously opposed to it. Their people feel it to be a degradation to submit to it. They recognise in the enforcement of such a policy the destruction, in the Union, of the coYiolHy of the States submitting tn it. The State of Virginia claims the reqnest them to talco such action iu this matter as may seem to them proper.

Whitney Wlisrras, There is now lending be fere the Board of Education (to be acted on to morrow evtning at a special meeting called for. that purpose) a resolution appropriating tioui 225,000 for the increase of teachers' salaries, or otherwise donatta? that amount to them iu two tHUW iait payments, and intnd uig to ask the Joint Board to approve said illegal aopro prictiou by placing, the amount in the statement for 1SC5. And Whereas, All the finds now raised for that purpose, for the fiscal year or 1831, have aireadv'fcccn ap propriatcd for teachers' culjties now in the cmplovmcit of said Board; And, Whereas, The passage of the resolution above referred to would bo in violation of an act of the Lo is lature, passed April 1850, chap. Hi, sec. 17, entitles, "An act to reorganize and reculato the Common Schools and the Boa of Education in the city of Brooklyn which section (17)rcads ns follows: "Sec 17.

The money raised for the inrpase cf school eitcs, and tho buildiUB, repairing, aud furnishing of school houses, shall bo 'known as tho 'Soectal hool acd all other moneys as tho 'General School and it shall be the duty of the Hoard of Education to keep accurate accounts of its receipts and expoa ditnres, disttnguishing between those of a general and those of a special character, and it shall not bo lawful to expend any portion of the money raised for the use of one of said luuds for the purposes of the ether of said funds but these expenditures shall bo mudc iu conformity with the appropriation under which the funds were levied and collected." 'Thus clearly showing that toe funds raised fo sila ne60t ISC5, cannot lie.opproprlated for salaries of 1364 without causing a largo deficiency in 1SC.1, and even then the act would be an illegal one and would likewise be establishing a very dangerous precedent therefore be it Bcsolvetl, That ibis Coromoii Council cannot consent lo sanctiooi any act on the part of the Board of F.luci catiou in illegally appropriating money for this or any other purpose. Laid the tabic. Adiourued. Republican gang, and asked the favor or a committee to investigato tho matter. Tho committee was appointed, and instructed to bo particular in its investigations about tho caudidate, and to report at next meeting.

The meeting then adjourned nutil tho 10th meet at SOI Fulton Btrect it Amusements. The Pare Theathe. "Lady Autlloy's Secret" continues to fill the Park with absorbingly inter ited audiences, and brings greenbacks to the treasury, under which circumstances no change can bo cxpocted for the present. Tho company aro now perfectly at home in tho piece, and tho performance is excellent throughout Mr. Van Olkcr has mado tho music a prominent featuro of tho entertainment Ho has a well Balanced and efficient orcuepfcra, and his selections are such as the popular tasto approves.

There has been too much pedantry iu music; educated musicians may despise popular airs and aiTect the elaborate compositions cf great masters, but tho great majority of tho people who compose the audiences of even strictly musical cn tirtainments, ore not TOfliciently educated in musio to appreciate thesoworks. You mightas well set a primary of school children to read Carlyle. If leaders of bands and oridiestras were not so wmpt in this pro feseional pedantry, they would notioo that when a pop air is struck up there is a murmur of applause from the audience, conversation stops, and there is an attention to the muBic which tho most brilliant of overture" or symphonies never commands. We commend Mr Van Olker because ho has partially recognized this feet, aud Btudies the pleasure of his audiences. It is por.

haps a shocking confession to make, but conscious of its truth wo unhesitatingly aver that more people in Brooklyn understand and sdmiro Sawyer's melodies, than rare about Wagner, Berlioz, or the masters of tho Italian, German or French schools.

One of the largest houses of the season was in attendance at Our Opera House," last evening, to witness tho inaugural of tho new program no every inch of room in tho hall was occupied. The now bill was lully equal to any yot produced, and was performed oolmirably by this nonpareil troupe. Ono nover leaves Hooley's disappointed with tho performance, but leave determined to go again at tho first opportunity. Tlie secret of this is that tho manager understands how to cater for tho public, producing weekly novelties without end, making it an attractive and popular place ol amusement The "bill of fare" this week comprises "New Year's Calls," "Fulton Market on Saturday night," Come back Massa," "The What is it," "Th Haunted House," Shakespcar's Seven (Nigger Ages," "Jenny Lind's First Engagement," The together with new songs, acts, dances and plantation scenes.

sports and pastimes. Base Ball. The Weathee and Bail Plxyixg. The biting air" of yesterday and to day gives warning of the approach of the close of the season of 1801. It is anything but pleasant to.

handle a ball in weather that mokcB one keep his hands in his pockets for warmth Tho leather Btings in cold weather, even when the ball comes to tho hand with only half force, and it therefore req iircs double tho pluck to face a hard hit or swifdy thrown ball in the Fall that it does in the summer. It io all very well for tho pitcher and catcher, bnt tho outfielders don't seo it in the same light by any means' For these reasons con Biderable of the enthusiasm for the game begina to die out about thic time, none but tho taost ardent lovers of tho sport feeling a desire to take part in games alter tho chilly weather sots in. But thero ore several fine warm days yet to come during October, and these will no donbt be taken advantage of to play the remaining gomes yet on tho seaton's programme. This week thero aro several first class games nam to take place in this city and at Hoboken. To morrow the third grand match between the heavy weights of Now York aud Brooklyn takes place on the Union Ball grounds, Willi rosburg, and it ill be well worth seeing.

On Thursday ono of the most Interesting club matches bt the saason will take place on the Capitoliuc grounds at Bedford, the ootasion being made noteworthy by a trial of skill between tho old and new Atlan itc nines. This will bo tho first time tho old Atlantic nine havo taken the field together since 18G1, and'as the majority of them are entirely out of practice in fact all are, so far as playing togetheTas a nine is concerned, their chances of success against tho youngters of the new nine, are not promising. Thoy, however, feel anguine of giving these "interlopers" a good thrashing for their presumption in challenging "ye aucisnte warriors" of tho Atlantics. It will be quito a treat to see the victors in their old positions again, and as thoc sympathies of tke spectators will ua. doubtedly be with the veterans, they niay bo so inspirited and roused up as to to give their opponents a hard tussle to defeat them.

We hope the veterans will also retain their regular positions throughout the game as thereby only can much of the interest of their play be preserved. Ecct oedys. McruAL.Th6 return match between these Chibs yestorday resulted iu aaother defeat, and as before it was brought about by tho neglect of practice by the Eckford nine more thin by their lack of a good nine, for tho players they had yesterday, with practice, are fully able to cope with tho best Tho gnmo opened in favor of tho Mil tools by a score of 3 to 1, Fisler scoring the run on the Eckford side by splendid hit over the left fielder's against the strong wind which prevailed. In tho Eecond inuings tho Mutuals added 1 to their score, the EclfordB drawing a blank, high throws giving tho Mutuals their runs. At tho close of the 4th innings, howejair, the Eckfords had pulled up their score to a tie and in the Oth inning led their opponents by a score of 13 to 10.

Tlie game was now in their hands and if they had only played as well as they had thusfartheir chances of succces would have beengood; bnt in the succeeding innings they mado 83 mony errors especially in throwing, that it was like giving the garao away. The Mutuals scored thirteen in the last three in ninB, nine of which were the result of errors in the field, in which high throwing wan conspicuous, there being also no less than five miss catches. The latter wero excusable, as the coldness of the weather mado it difficult to hold a ball, besides which Snyder's misses were from trying to take difficult flyball3 on tho run. hiB good attempts for creditable catches excusing his misses. The nino tho Eckfords bad yesterday, was ono strong enough to havo won every garao fchev have played this season, if it had been judiciously practiced, but without play together defeat will tollow.

Want of space to day requites us to bo brief, and therefore we at once refer to the score t'er further parUculars. TmUAL. EClFOIU. H. H.

iClit, Adjutant. THE McCLESLMN CENTRAL CLUB. The raised at lnst Bi itlcoting Great Entliusiasm. Tlie HcCleUrn Central Club is a great eyc soro to the Dbcddviteoand office holders, locitedaa it is. right in the'r midst.

Iu that abolition stronghold, tho word, and iu the very building with the niternat Revon no department making the poor fellows whose bread aud bul ter depende upon Abraham Lincoln's election reel very nncomfortablo. Tlio dab proposed to raiso tho stars and stripes with the portrait of their ablest de fececr, Gen. McClellan, emblazoned theroon, from Low's buildiijg. This" greatly shocked tho Internal Eevenuo gentlemen, who got up a petition to Mr. Low to prohibit tho proceedings.

The consequence was the club had to hoist fboir flag at another point, and it now floats on tho breeze across Court street, a Tew doors b3low Jorje mon. The ceremony of raising the fla? wa3 performed last night in the presence of about live thousand peopla amid much enthusiasm. Tho flag is a magnificent affair of unusual dimensions, and emblazoned with a medallion portrait of Gen. McOlcllaii. The Hag having been swung to tho brooze and tho applause subsided, tho oratorical exerolses proceoded.

There were two stands erected in Joralemon street, olio at the corner of Court street the other opposite Key. Dr. Willitt's church. The stands wore ltt up with Chinese lanterns and transparencies bearing approuriato devices, aud aband of music enlivened tho proceedings Daniel P. Barnard, President of tho Club, opened the proceedings at Stand No.

1. He said tho Central Ciub was composed or citizens who had hitherto availed themselves but little of their political privileges. They wtro engaged principally in commercial pursuits. Thess men had been obliged to let their ships lie idle beside the docks, whilo our goods were beinir carried in foreign vessels, becauso of tho imbecility of the administration, which with the magnificent navy of tho TJoitod States at its command, was unable to destroy tho few" pirates who roam over the ocean. Theso men have, I am ashamed to say, taken but little interest in politics, thoy havo boon too much engaged in business, until thoy saw their business almost entirely destroyed.

Thoy dosired to hold their meetincs in this uotghborhosd. the hot bod of abolimnitm, within hearing oi the men, who are living upon the war; we are here in this neighborhood ta betrd. tho lion iu his den. (Applause.) We gave notice thlr wo intended to hang out. a McClellan banner from thiB building.

Wo had no sooner done so than tho officers of the Internal Revenue department spread themselves over the building, and got up a petition to the landlord to prohibit us from doing so. Thoy wore successful: (Hisses.) We tried on theopposite corner, ond metwith 1he E'amo opposition. But they must recollect that tho Democratic party arc not to ho discouraged. Beaten at one point they will turn up at another. Weywere' determined that our banner should bo spread to the wind, and we retired foot by foot as the enemy pressed us until we iound a resting placo; and there is our flag, and there it will remain until after the 8th of November.

(Cheers.) There is the stars and stripes, tho flag which the abolitionists hato so much, which tho IVioiMe denounced ha these iusul tiDg lines Tear down the iiauating ho, Half mast the starry flog, Insult no sunny sky, With hate's polluted rag." That flag had been hallowed by Democrats ni tho emblem of tho nation founded by our fathers; wo never called it a flaunting he," or placed it at holt mast, but hailed it ever as the Fiog ot the free heart's only home, By angel hands to valor given, Thy stars hove lit the welldn dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven. Forever float that standard sheet, Where breathes the foe but falls before us With freedom's soil beneath our feet, And freedom's banner Streaming o'er us." (Immense applause) The owner ot ono ot these buildings (on Court street I said he objected to our banner because it contained the bkeness of our favorite candidate, Gen. B. McClellan Tho abolitionist! hate tho face of Geo. B.

McClellan as much as Jeff Davis, or any of his generals, hato it bo conso tbot face has been a harbinger of victory to' our arms. When the Abolition Governor of Ohio, at tho outbreak of the war, feared on invasion of his Stato ho called upon General McClellan, who showed his face to the foo in Western Virginia, and thoy lied from it (Applause) The speaker then alluded to Gen. McClellan's career from the commencement cf the war to his removal after the battle of Antietaui. In conclusion he said the members ot this club had entered earnestly on this work, aud would continue tc hold meotings until the 8th of Novem. bcr, having no interest beyond tb.6 election of Geo McClellan.

Mr. Leon Abbott of New Jcjsey was the next speaker who drew comparison between McClellan and Lincoln ce candidates for President Against the latter he said he only need repeat tho charges made by members of bis own party, Messrs. Wade, Davis, Fremontand Pome roy. After proving Mr. Lincoln's utter unfitness for the position, these men now had the audacity to present him to the people for re election.

Mr. Gray of Kichroond County followed in a fo eioio address. Next came Judgo Norris, aftor which Mr. L. Gill closed with some stirring remarks.

THE sennsylvania election. The rooms of the Cenlral Club in Joralemon street near Court will be open to night to receive news iron and arrangements have been male for receiving the election returns iu dispi'ches every fifteen ndnutes. Stand So. 2. This stand was situated further down Joralemon street, towards the City Hall, and v.

as surrounded by almost as large a crowd as were gathered around tho main stand. Indeed between the two stands, with tlio exception of the space necessarily left vacant for the cara to pass on, the spaco was ono solid nias" of people. The bend played a number of patriotic aud other airs, nrter which the meeting was called to order, and T. S. D.akin W.

W. HewitwcTCintroduccdto the audience and made nominated to preside. Mr. Classon, of New York, and stirring addresses. Mr.

Thomas E. Pearson was the next speaker 'utro dnccd. He said the position of tho Democratic tv today was precisely what it was in the first yea ot't'ic war, when one party war fiijhLjnir for the pretended rights ot secession and tlie other for the indissolubility of the Union. The Demoeratic party sees no hope for the Union except iu bringing the war back to this simoic and naked issue; he had no doubt that tho Southern people were crashed more by their leaders thanany other pcoplo on the earth. The administration was trampling upon the rights of those people.

Upon whoso head then will tlie blame rest for this, whom will they in futuro years shake their hands at and say "you did it, yon are the cause of our hcins trampled under foot, of our succumbing to this foul rebellion, upon the administration who should have protected ns (Great cheering.) He believed that Georgo 13. MoClellan embodies the ideas and principles of tho great mass of con servativc men at the North, who beliove in a whole country, and who in November next would lay at the feet of judgment their stern protest against the mistaken phiianthrophy of the Abolition party that has so noaWy ruined us, and that ho stands to day the appoint instrument of God to revive tho glories tho past and direct the deBthlies of the future. (Applause.) After some music by the band tho meeting udjournod. Banner Raising in the Sixteenth The Sii teenth Tv'iii il Democrats turned out in tall force last evening, on tho occasion of a banner wising at No 113 Ewen street, E. and when the" names of McClellan tnu Bcndleton, Seymour and Jones, were given to the breeze, amid the wildest cheering, not less than were present.

Beneath the banner a platform was erected, trom which, in the early a brass baiid held forth musically, and tho vicinity waj ablaze with Homau candles and rockets. Notwithstanding tho kugi; crowd present, the mcotiug was slow to organize, in consequence of some hitch in committee matters, so that finally, becoming impatient, Mr Alex Hamilton nominated Mr. John liaber as President and he was loudly endorsed. Just as bo was about to speak the band gave the Star Spangled Banner, and the now club banner was unfurled. Mr.

Haber then roturnod lhanks in German for the houor conferred on him. Ten Secretaries troiu the loth ward and four each from other Eastern District wards were chosen. Banners and transparencies woro plentiful, and somo Of them very applicable to the present times. The fol lowing coueuioriu iuyix uwu iia quota oi remarks: orsrrnsLiCAN DEMociOATia JoirES.

As the procession bearing these transparencies camo up they were received with the loudest demonstrations of American and German lungs, pud tho ubiquitous lager flowed more profusely than ever. Mr.

John G. Ejhumakcr made a brief ad dresstothe crowd, in which he called attention to the acts of the present adniinistration, the unhappy condition of our country, and the apparent impossibility of a restoration of peace by tlie party now in power. Ho was frequently interrupted by loud cheers, the name of "Little Mao" never failing to bring down the houso iu two different languages. Dr. Bergmann ana Dr.

TEE EEOEKT LTYSTIJEIOUS The following from tho Coroner was presented CoEONEE'S OF.FICC, 1 Brooldyn, Oct 10, 18G1. To 4hc Hon. Board of Aldermen Gentlemen, on the morning of Monday, October 3d, tho mangled remains of a human body were found in the water at the foot of JjitUo street. The appearance which tho body presented was shocking in the extreme. The head and logs and hips were gono, having beeeu removed Dy a knifo aud buw.

This operation was evidently done in a great hurry as from the appearance of portions of tho clothes found with tho body it is ovident that the murderers did not take the trouble to remove them before cliamembor ing it. I say, murderers, because 1 firmly believe that more than ono person is cognizant of the affair. The the thing ia bo shocking that many believe the remains to be a portion of a cadaver which was used for anatomical purposes. This is not so; the body had boon dead only a f. hours when found, and the manner of tho cutting was not at all in lieoping with the idea of anatomical researches.

It is impossible to say, how far away from 'the spot where the remains were found the crime waB committed; it is barely possible that the man may have been killed at a point remote from Brooklyn, and taking this view of the case I would recommend that a reward sufficiently large to enlist the services of tho Now Yort as well as tho Brooklyn detectives, be oiferod for the arrest ot the perpetrators of the ciimc; and as I believe there has tceu mere than one person engaged in tho horrible aC'uir, this reward might be extended with the promise ol leniency to the informer, ii he or she will be one of the guilty parties. Tho body is still kept at the Bead House, in the hope that some clue may De found, and! have had the river in tho neighborhood for tho same purpose. Hoping you will act without" delay, and with a liberality demanded by the magnitude of the crime, I remain yours, very truly, ThoilssP. Kokbs, Coroner, Kings Co. P.

S. I have just been called upon by Dr. Boaton assistent of Coroner Wildly of Jfcw York, who tells me that the pelvis of a man was found floating nt the foot of street in that city this morning. On cora Tiaring the parts wo discovered that they are of the same body. A portion of the pants remain on the pelvis aLd correspond in color and texture with tho portions of clothing iound with the body in my keeping.

X. p. n. Alderman Belknap moved that the Mayor be authoiized to oiTer a reward of for the detection of the murderer or murderers. Aid.

O'Keefro was of the opinion that the communica tion should have been sent to tlio Police Commissioners and rot to the Beard of Aldermen, but if thero was to be reward offered, he would wish it to bo understood that the money was to be rsid only to persons outside of the police force, and moved an amendment to that Aid. Belknap could not accept the amendment, because he thought it would destroy any good effect tho advertisement might have. If tho alderman of the rth knew the amount if money required to bo spent "by detectives in working up these cases, ho would not press the amendment. It was true the polico were paid $1,000 a year, but it is also truo that nearly one half ot this amount is spent by detectives in ferreting matters liko these. Aid.

Van Buren said he would move to increase the reward by a very much larger aoiouat. If tho Board hope in this matter to enlist the services of the detective polico in Now Yori, they ought to offer a reward which would be liberal enought to make them go intj it zealously. He moved to make the amount $3,000. The motion was not seconded. M3.

BeDaiap said if tho amount were made $1,000 bd would second the motion. Aid. O'Keeffo wanted the Board to divest themselves of any notion they may have, that ho (Aid. O'K.) was not in favor of having this arrest made, but ho thought that it was not in the power of the Board to tote this action under the provisions of the charter. The law provides that we cannot expend money for any purpose for which it has not boen previously appropriated.

Ho had no objection to giving the reward to policemen mere thanany other men, oxcept that tho principle was wrong, and ho was satisfied that if tho Board would pass a resolution to pay any expenses incurred by tho detectives in this matter, it would have tho desired effect. Aid. Fisher moved that the matter be referred to the Committee on Police, to consult with the Police Com missioners in reference to the matter. Aid. Van Buren hoped the matter would not be referred to a committee, ns that would only have tho offect of delaying it until it was too late, and if anything was to be done in the matter it ought to be done immediately.

Coroner Norris was present, and ho would move that the privilege of the house be granted to Coroner Norris to explaiu hia reasons for sending tho communicatio i. Adopted. Coroner Xorris war, invited by the Chair to spealr, and addressed the board. He said tho main portion of what lie had to say on the subject was embraced in his communication, but theie were some points which could not be elaborated in tho communication. It was evident that there was more than one person engaged in this most horrible murder, and it was from some one of these pereonB that by means ot tho roward it was hoped that the information might be pot which would brin the perpetrators to justice, and for this purpose it would be necessary to offer a largc reward.

Aid. Wallace said that a matter qf this tind reouired the ntmost promptness, and if a roward of SJoyo would bo of any use in bringing the perpetrators of so horrible a crime to justice, he knew that no tux payer would object to it After some finther debato Aid.

Tho quarrel in the Republican ranks over the candidate for representative in the Third Congressional District is beautifully mixed up. It is getting prettier every day.

Mr. Chittenden opened the ball by announcing himself as the choice of the Republican voters of the district. But the primary politicians did not seem to see the matter in this light, and Chittenden was thrown overboard favor of Mr. IIa.a phroy. Ex Congressman Wall will not have Knmphrcy on any terms, and at onco announces himself as a candidate.

Last night a curd was published by Mr. Chittenden, or Lis1 friends, announcing a meeting at he Academy of Music, in which Mr. Chittenden is expected to show up the delinquency of the primary politicians in not recognizing his eminent fitness for Congress Daniel Pratt, is not announced; this was a mistake, Pratt is sound on the equilibrium," and no tiibt could tell Mr. Chittenden how to ccrr.e out right side up. Chittenden's movement is believed to be a hoax to scare Humphrey out of Jhe race.

If Humihrey gets out Mr. 'Wall will; and the result will be thenomi nciiou of new men. The Democrats have as yet but two men in the field. This morning it is reportad that there is to bo a third candidate. It is a shame to lose the District, but from all we can see, the politicians on both sides have resolved to do their to distract their respective par tics.

Tnii Yv' vr. I2vs. We have this morning very full reports of the operations of our nir.iics. Sheridan has fallen back dgwn the Valley, which proves either that his communi cations were in danger from the operations of the guerillas in the Valley, or thas Early has received reinforcements, as has been reported. It is not possible that Early's army, which was reported by Sheridan to have been almost entirely destroyed could offer any effcotnal resistance to Sheridan's advance, unless Early has received help from Lee, or thai the accounts of Early's reverses have been exaggerated.

General Sheridan reports that Early sent his cavalry to harrass his army in falling back, and he claims a complete victoiy over the enemy, including the capture of ten pieces of 'artillery. Tlio rebels claim a victoiy, which, our first accounts in part conceded, in their attack on Butler's lines on Friday last. The rebels claim to have driven our forces from their entrenchments, and to have captured nine pieces of artillery, five hundred prisoners and two or three hundred horses. From Sherman's army we have information that the rebels are still engaged in tho attempt to break our communications. General Hood had endeavored to move his main army in the rear of Atlanta, but Sherman having moved a considerable force towards Altoona, Hood moved rapidly back to Dallas.

The rebel joumids speak confidently of their ability to force Sherman to evacuate Atlanta Genera' Sherman, however, states that ''Atlanta is ori'ectly secure." How Altes Soldiers Max Become Citizens. Congress passed law in 1SS2 declaring that aliens who should serve in tho U. S. Army should be entitled to special privileges in naturalization as citizens. This law is an important one, and its provisions are not gene i ally understood.

Its publication has been suggested; also that each of our McClellan clubs should have a copy of it hung up con picuonsly in their meeting rooms. The foUowing is the section of the act of the 37th Congress, chapter 200, passed July 17, 1862, referred to: Sec. El. Ana be it further enacted That an alien of the age of twentyone yearn and upwards, who has enlisted or shall enliBt in the armies of the T7nu.f.l fif.tA3 cither the regular or the volunteer forces, and hag boeuJ rtr almll hft hnrenffcor lirninrablv (Uiphnrnrxl mnn .1 mitted to becomes citizeflNtf tlio United States, upon his petition, without any previous declaration of hiH iu. tentdon to become a citizen of tke United States, and that he shall not be required to prove more than ono year's residence within tho United States previous to his appiiestion to become such citizen; and that the court admitting such alien uhaU, in addition to such proof of residence and Rood moral character as ia now pro rided by law, be satisfied by competent proor of ouch person having been honorably discharged from the uer vice of the United States as aforesaid.

We would suggest the importance of publishing the above to our cotemporaries. The certificate of discharge, properly authenticated, would supply the additions! proof required bv the act, same power, under the Constitution, over her i tlciKcstio institutions which New York eer 1 ciheu. To deprive her oi it is to degrade her I hciow the level of New Yoi k. Let us put the question to ourselves. Ifuon Isew York wan oposed restrictions iioni which Virginia wa free, would Vo content to remain ta irj Union in which we could not 'fissure the I lights and privileges frr.e'.v exercised j.

neighboring States Mr. Lincoln kuovr.j that i tinder the Constitution he has no rihl to in I terfere with the states of the negro in tho I (states, wew loi k. for instance, has decided for reasons satisfactory to her people, that negro' residents of this State shall not be per. mittcd to vote on the same terms as her whito citizens. "We have the right to do so, and we could notyield.it without abandoning rights which our fathers believed it was necessary to reserve, to secure the well being of the people end the pcrpctuation of the government.

Now, Mr. Lincoln is not only acting with entire disregard to the wishes of the South, but iu de fiuncc of the Constitution. If the South submits, she yields not only an institution which her people are in favor of retaining, but tho equality of the Southern States as membors of the Federal Union. Are the Southern people more likely to resist, a policy which leaves slavery where the Constitution left it, and where it found "it, than Mr. Lincoln's policy which has no other justification than that lix, Lincoln has deemed it proper to adopt it Mr.

asks the South to submit to Ids will and pleasure; McClellan asks her to submit to the Constitution which the South took part in framing. Against which policy is resistance likely to be more fierce and relentless Again, Mr. Lincoln, under his policy of restoring the States now in rebellion to the Union, disfranchises all citizens of the South who have taken part in the rebellion. For four years government in opposition to ours has existed de fucto in the Southern States. All the people subject to its authority or its power, able to bear arms, were compelled to do so.

To disfianchise these people is to disfranchise all the able bodied men in the South'. Will the Sonthern people be more inclined to resist a policy which will leave them aliens in the land of their fathers, than one which will offer to them the protection for alWheir rights which the Constitution guarantees Submission to Mr. Lincoln's policy necessitates tho sacrifice of tho rights of citizenship; submission to McClellan's policy is submission simply to the fundamental law. Which policy is most likely to prolong resistance Mr. Lincoln's party has passed a law, and Mr.

Lincoln is pledged to enforce it, which confiscates to the government practically the property of every individual in the South. The success of Mr. Lincoln's policy will hrin individual beggary upon the Southern people; McClellan says, with Sherman, we do not want your negroes, your horses, your or your lands; we ask the restoiation ot the Union and the supremacy of the Constitution. Which policy is most likely to keep the South, in opposition that which leaves her people jbeggars, or that which restores to them the government under which they have lived hap. pily, and against a real or supposed infraction of which they rebeliod Is it not evident to all men that under Mr.

Lincoln the South will resist unanimously to the last. Peace to her people is beggary and disfranchisement. What attraction has peace on such terms War is terrible but it loses half its horrors, whon such a peace is the alternative. The truth is, peace is now possible if open an honorable way to it. But if we endorse Mr.

Lincoln's policy by reelecting him, he must continne it. The North ill be divided, the South united. If, on the cor.vrory, the people should refuse to elect Mr. Lincoln lie trill Bay "in canyiag oat tfcu xadi A Stump Speaker ik isiruise ougli at the Academy ol JHnsic. Mr.

Tho lecturer, however, at the commencement of his oration said "Ladles ass Gestlemeh I regret that an announcement has been made that was to deliver a new lecture on the subject of Temperance.
