SPIRIT i. 12 THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times thinks the policy of annexing the territory of the tribes who are troubling our north-west Indian frontier is hot without its attractions. At present our frontier garrisons are established on a sultry and insalubrious plain, with a broad river behind them—not a favourable position in either a sanitary or strategical point of view. Our troublesome enemies look down upon the settlement from fastnesses above, which it is very difficult for us to reach ; so that their raids, except in cases of extreme provocation, can be accomplished with impunity. On this frontier duty we have a special force of 12,000 men permanently employed, independently of such occasional musters as the present. What if we advanced our posts to the hills themselves, and established our forts on that cool and pleasant range which the panting Englishman can now only contemplate from below? To this ques tion we must reply by another. Who would be our neigh hours then ? We must have a frontier somewhere, and on the other side of that frontier there will be a population of some kind. Shall we mend matters by going further? If we subdue these independent tribes and turn their hills into a frontier of our own, we shall then be in contact with the Afghans themselves, and will that be a quiet neighbourhood? There is an alternative policy of "con ciliation," but as that is the very policy which has produced twenty-three wars in nineteen years it is not unreasonably regarded as a failure. Hitherto we have not appropriated a single square yard of territory in this direction. We hold simply the ground that was held by Runjeet Singh, as monarch of the Punjab, and no more. We have endeavoured to persuade these highlanders of our good intentions, and though it is true that we have been inces santly in collision with them, that, in our version of the story, is their fault, and not ours. At any rate, we have not encroached upon their lands or their independence, though it is possible that some modification of this for bearance may be thought desirable now. It is intimated, indeed, that under the circumstances of the Russian advance our whole policy on this north-western frontier must be subjected to comprehensive reconsideration. We fear it would be vain to expect peace and quietness at the end of any experiment, but we rejoice to think that the question, at any rate, is still in the hands of Sir John Lawrence. The Standard returns to the consideration of the Premier's address. Mr. Disraeli has said that the disen dowment of the Irish Church can hardly fail to diminish the security of property. The triumphant reply is, that the main cause of the insecurity of property in Ireland is its association with " an alien Church," and that the dis endowment of the latter will be the best guarantee for vested interests. But we have the very highest authority for knowing that the main grievance is not the establishment of the Protestant Church, but the possession by Protestants of nine-tenths of the soil. It is obvious, therefore, that if the Protestant Establishment is to some extent the cause of the insecurity of property, we shall never get to the the root of the evil until we have transferred the soil from its present possessors. If the disendowment of the PrO: testant Church is a partial remedy, how much re.' , 4e effectual will be the transfer of nine-tenths of the soil froiii the Protestant holders ? Moreover, the principle is equally; applicable in both cases, only the title of lay holders like the Duke of Devonshire is neither morally nor legally half so good as that which can be produced in behalf of the Church. The contention of the Premier, that the outrage it is proposed to inflict upon the Irish Church would aggra vate religious hostilities and party rancours, is not disputed, but it is urged in reply that " the ancient wrong c: n lot be redressed" without some such result. It does not seem to occur to our contemporaries that those who profess to suffer under " the ancient wrong " are perfectly unanimous in declaring that they will not accept the disruption of the Irish Church as any measure of redress whatever, but merely as an infinitesimal instalment of terms which at present no English statesman, not even Mr. Gladstone, dares even to look at, much less to entertain. Feeblest and most puerile of all is the attempted reply to Mr. Disraeli's argument that the disestablishment of the Protestant Church in Ireland will tend to the advancement of the Roman Catholic Church—in fact, that the loss of Protes tantism will be the gain of Popery. The answer is, that the Protestantism as established in England is in no respect " injured by the existence of a rival, and, indeed, hostile Establishment north of the Tweed ! " " Rival" Establislunent ! As if the Presbyterian Establishment in Scotland were not infinitely more rigidly Protestant than the Established Church in England ! Mr. Gladstone might well be pardoned for regretting that the critics of his rival are not a trifle more acute. The Herald thinks it beyond possibility of denial that one measure of confiscation is likely to be followed by others. It is beyond reasonable doubt that the overthrow of the Church of England can only redound to the advan tage of the Church of Rome. That Church we cannot disestablish ; woe to us if it be left the only Established Church in the realm. We would only observe upon Mr. Disraeli's " secondary reasons " applied to the individual case of Ireland, that they are distinctly given as secondary only: the case of the Church in Ireland resting sub stantially upon principles applicable to all three kingdoms alike, the importance of a national religion, the interests of Protestantism, the value to religious and civil liberty, of that principle of lay control which is embodied in the constitutional doctrine of the royal supremacy and the sanctity of property. Of those principles the Tory party is now the sole defender ; Liberalism has betrayed and re nounced them. It follows that the cause of religious free dom, as well as of constitutional order, of personal liberty of conscience, as well as of public morality and Christian faith, is now identified with the cause of the Conservative party ; and that every vote which is given to a follower of Mr. Gladstone is given in the interests of Popery and priestcraft, as well as of disloyalty and anarchy. The Daily News considers it absolutely necessary for the success of the Liberal cause that the number of Liberal candidates shall be reduced to the number of seats. Old and tried members ought to be preferred to new candi dates as a rule ; otherwise the value of hard work and experience goes for nothing. Where the candidates are all new men, who are known only by their professions, and have no past services to the Liberal cause to which they can appeal in confirmation of them, as the election draws nearer they ought to make it perfectly understood that, rather than divide the Liberal party in the constitu ency, they are ready to leave it to the electors to say which of them shall go to the poll. How the determina tion of the electors in the matter is to be ascertained is a point of some difficulty. It is very important that it should be the result of an impartial and extensive canvass, and not be left merely to the decision of a public meeting, whose decision might only be that of a minority of the Liberal party. In all except the largest constisuencies, however, it is probable that the votes which can be safely counted on are known to the leading local politicians ; and, where this is the case, it need not, we should think, be any more impossible to ascertain how these certain voters stand affected as between the different Liberal candidates, than it has been to ascertain how they are disposed as between a Liberal and a Conservative. When once a conclusion has been honestly arrived at a candidate can have no excuse for disregarding it, and anyone who persists in doing so ought to be eschewed as rigidly by every Liberal elector as though he were a professed Conservative. The Post thinks that the true idea of war seems to have been completely misunderstood by those who propose that what is termed private property should be respected by belligerents. In operations on land, the inhabitants of a besieged town which has been taken are treated on a different footing from the garrison by which that town has been defended, and their property is, in accordance with modern usage, for the most part respected. It is, however, far different with the capture and confis cation of private property at sea. The wealth of a nation must be in a great degree dependent on its foreign trade, and when that trade is paralysed or extinguished the bel ligerent which thus suffers is deprived of the means of further prosecuting a war. No such end is even remotely attained when a victorious general puts to the sword orplun ders those whom the fortune of war throws into his hands. Mr. Vernon Harcourt placed the matter in its true light when he pointed out that the fact of war ruining trade was an inducement for nations to avoid it if possible, and that the destruction of the mercantile marine was one of the most effective blows which could be struck at an enemy, since it deprived him of the means of manning his ships of war. Those who seek to strip war of many of its terrors forget that in the proportion that they succeed do they render it more likely to be rashly engaged in it. Notwithstanding that we hear of nothing but harmony, adhesions to the new Government, and general popular con gratulation, the Telegraph thinks that everything :n Spain cannot - be called perfectly smooth. It was, apparently, only through a fortunate chance which brought the troops of Serrano from Andalusia in the nick of time, that Amable Escalante, a noisy sudden favourite of . the Madrid mob, was prevented from setting up something not very far removed from a reign of terror. That danger was averted ; but the impression seems to gain ground that the agreement of the revolutionary leaders is suspicious— that their harmony, to emplor a familiar phrase, is " too sw ee t t o b e w h o l esome .' The difficulties and temptations of the leaders may be seriously increased, if the popular inclination should tend towards the republican form of government. The jealousies and aspirations which they all might control or suppress in the event of a royal personage being elected to fill the vacant throne, would find free vent if it came to the ques tion who should be President. We hear reports which , imply that the disposition to entrust the destinies of Spain to an English prince is gaining ground. There are several reasons why this should be the case • among them,undoubtedly, th e f ac t t h at the Spanish'people, proud of their navy, with whose possible achievements they feed their hopes of restored national greatness, might hail with peculiar satisfaction the sovereignty of a sailor prince. As yet, all schemes of succession or settlement are vague and crude. "Everything is in abeyance." But the silence and mystery cannot last long ; and we may find the second act of the Spanish drama even Snore exciting than the first, HOLYWELL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. On Tuesday an action of a novel and important cha- racter was opened before the Holywell magistrates ; the Earl of Denbigh chairman. The complainant was Mr. Edwards Woods, the solicitor who has taken a prominent part in the Abergele prosecutions, and the defendant was George Grinnett, signalman at the Holywell station on the London and North Western Railway. The offence charged as stated in the summons was, that the defendant did unlawfully, wilfully, and negligently omit to put up the semaphore signal " danger " to show that the line was not clear at Holywell station at the time the express train leaving Chester at 2.45 p.m. was due to pass through, at which time a goods train was standing on the down line, causing the express train to run into collision with the goods train, whereby the life and limbs of Mr. Edwards Woods and the life and limbs of other passengers were endangered. Mr. Woods said the complaint which the bench would be asked to hear was preferred by himself against the defendant, who was a signalman at Holywell station on the 16th day of September. The proceedings were taken under the 3rd and 4th Vic., cap 97, sec. 13, whereby it is enacted that " any engineman, driver, guard, porter, or servant being drunk when employed on the railway, com mitting any offence against the bye-laws or regulations of the company, wilfully or negligently doing' or omitting to do any act whereby the life or limb of any person pass ing along or being upon the railway or the works of the railway shall he or might be injured or endangered, or whereby the passage of any of the engines, carriages, or trains shall be, or might be, obstructed or impeded, may upon conviction be imprisoned with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding two years." Mr. Woods having described in detail the accident and the injuries which he alleged himself to have sustained, Mr. Ellis Eyton proceeded to cross-examine him. In reply to various questions, Mr. Woods said : I hardly remember what train I went down to Holywell by on the morning of the accident. I think I went down by the noon train, but I am not sure. Mr. Eyton : Are you certain that you were not at Aber gele at one o'clock on the day of the accident? Mr. Woods : I don't know anything about that, but I am certain I was in the train when the accident hap pened. The first step I took was to summon the station maaster, Mr. Jones. I did not obtain the summons in this court. What I did was under the advice of Mr. Lenge, the magistrates' clerk at Rhyl. I entirely disclaim any personal motives in this prosecution. After the acci dent I went on to Rhyl, and telegraphed an account of it to the Times newspaper and the Daily Telegraph. I wrote another letter to the Times enclosing a letter which had been forwarded to me praising me for my conduct in the Abergele case. Mr. Eyton was proceeding to cross-examine Mr. Woods as to his doings at Abergele, but this was objected to by the bench as being irrelevant, and Mr. Eyton was required to state his reason for adopting it. Mr. Eyton said he wished to show that Mr. Woods was actuated by motives other than that of the public good, but as their worships thought he should not pursue the subject he would defer. Mr. Edwards Woods next called Mr. Jones, station master at Holywell, who cited a rule of the company's service with reference to the proper working of signals ; and Mr. Stretton, inspector of police upon the line, proved that he had supplied the defendant with a copy of the rules. Mr. Hughes, who temporarily filled the office of station master at Holywell during the absence of Mr. Jones, who was on his holiday at the time of the accident, stated that the semaphore signal was up two minutes before the express was due. The down line was not clear at the time the 2.40 p.m. train arrived, and a collision occurred. Cross-examined : The 2.40 train is not timed to stop at Holywell, but as a matter of fact it had stopped for some time previously for the purpose of taking water. On an average it stops at Holy-well two or three times a week. I was standing in the middle of the platform when the express passed through, and the trucks which were being shunted, and with which the express came into collision, stood about 200 yards further on. When the express passed me it was going at the rate of about twelve miles an hour. The guards were applying the breaks hard, and by the time the train reached the trucks the speed was re duced by one-half. I went up to the carriages upon the accident taking place, but did not find any one hurt. None of the passengers complained to me of injuries. I do not know whether I saw the complainant there. I think I did. John Naylor, engine -driver of the express, said : When I approached Holywell I saw that both the distance signal and the semaphore were at danger. I saw them about a mile off. On seeing the distance signal I shut off steam and prepared to stop the train. I whistled, and both signals were lowered as a sign that all was right. I had not then reached the distance signal. I thereupon put on steam and proceeded. The train was not timed to stop at Holywell. When I got inside the station I saw a person waving his hands to me to stop. I then shut off steam and reversed the engine, and did all I could to stop. At this time I was going at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. The semaphore signal was down at this moment. I am sure of that, for when I saw the hand waving I looked up to the signal. I did not see any portion of the obstructing train till I got close up to it. I saw that one portion of the goods train was on the up-line, and the other on the down. I ran into them broadside. The goods train was going towards Chester, and the driver had drawn it on to the up-line as far as he could get, but there was a passenger-train before him, and his train was so long that three of the trucks were left on the down line in the way of my train. I got on the step of the engine and dropped off just before the collision took place. I was going at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour when the shock occurred. This was the case for the complainant. For the defence it was urged that the accident was the result of an error of judgment on the part of the defend ant, and not of wilful negligence as provided for by the statute. The Chairman dwelt upon the importance of the sig- nalman's duties, and to mark their sense of the heinous ness of the prisoner's offence, the bench sentenced him to two months' imprisonment, the longest term the law per- mitted them to inflict. LAW AND POLICE. FATHER AND SON.—A painful case has been heard at the Mansion House. A jeweller, carrying on business in the City, was summoned for having published a defama tory libel on his son, a young man 22 years of age. The libel consisted of a private letter written by the father to the. son, in which the latter was soundly upbraided for the misconduct of his past life. It fell into the hands of a third person, at whose house the son had been sojourning. The defence was that the communication, as a private letter, was strictly privileged. The defendant was com mitted for trial at the Central Criminal Court, his own recognisances being taken for his appearance. BUYING PAWNBROKERS' PLEDGES.—An incident which will doubtless act a caution to those who are inclined to invest in pledge tickets was mentioned at Bow-street Police-court on Tuesday. A gentleman was induced by an acquaintance to purchase some pawnbrokers' duplicates for jewellery, pledged for considerable amounts, on the ground that as pawnbrokers seldom lent more than one-third, or at the utmost half the value of the articles, the bargain would prove a profitable one. On examina tion the jewellery was found to be nearly worthless, one watch purporting to have been pledged for £8 not being worth £3. The magistrate asked how this was to be accounted for, and was told that a system existed be tween the pawnbroker and the swindler by which a ficti tious amount was placed upon the ticket, the holder selling it if he could and pocketing the proceeds, and the pawn broker taking the chance of the dupe redeeming the goods at the sum marked upon the ticket. A TRADESMAN IMPRISONED FOR POACHING.-At the Wakefield Court-house, a clay or two back, Mr. Stringer, farmer, basket manufacturer, and the owner of con siderable property at Horbury, was charged, along with a labouring man named Joseph Hall, with night poaching. It was proved that about ten o'clock on the night of the 11th ult. Mr. Stringer and the other defendant went into a field where there were partridges, and were caught trailing it from end to end with a net thirty yards long. For the defence it was said that Mr. Stringer had a right to be in the field where he was found, that he was a pre server of game, and that, as he had summoned the witnesses against him on several occasions for taking his game, they had " made up " a case against him in revenge. Mr. Stringer was sent to prison for three months, and Hall, who was acting as his assistant, for six weeks. The case excited great interest. EXTENSIVE DEFALCATIONS BY A COMMERCIAL TEA. FELLER.—James Palmer, a young man most respectably connected, was brought up at the Police-court, Liverpool, charged with embezzling about £4OO belonging to Messrs. Moore, Viccars, and Co., the well-known distillers of that town. It was shown that he was apprenticed to the firm, and that when his indentures expired, he was appointed town traveller at a salary of £l2O a year and unlimited expenses. lie absconded on the 24th of last month, and on Saturday last he was apprehended in North Wales whilst he was out shooting there. When charged tti ith embezzling his employers' money he replied with the utmost coolness, "'I don't what the amount is; it is so large." Be was remanded. OLD AGE.—At a village near Liskeard are living t No sisters, in the enjoyment of perfect health and vigour, aged respectively 93 and 89. They lost two one aged 100 and : • . TILE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1868. SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE. THE CESAREWITCH DAY. Never, perhaps, have there been more horses backed for one race than for the Cesarewitch de cided yesterday, an ample proof, were one neces- 1 sary, of the discrimination and impartiality which guided the gallant handicapper in the adjudication of the imposts. It would be almost impossible to enumerate the many " good things" which, accord ing to report, had been carefully nursed for this race, and were " bound to win," and of whose pri vate prowess such wondrous tales were told ; and yet up to the last moment almost the highest weighted horse left in, and he but a three-year-old, held the position of first favourite. The scratch ing of Friponuier—who was also looked upon as being able to add this race to his numerous list of victories—removed a very dangerous opponent, and at the same time threw another blot upon the his tory of racing. At the Rooms on Monday evening The Special, who had been long expected to do a good thing, came with great force, and was at one time first in the quotations ; at the finish, how ever, Blue Gown left off with slightly the call of him. Cecil, of whom wonderful reports had been for some time rife, was also backed, but had rather a downward tendency. Repeated offers of 10 to 1 against the Danebury representative, Lady Rag lan, failed to elicit a response, although 100 to 15 had been freely accepted about her chance in the morning. Paul Jones came in for good support at shortening prices, whilst Nelusko, who at the finish proved to be.the selected of the "mysterious strang ers," came with a rush from 40 to 1 to 100 to 8, his stable companion Gondolier having the pen put through his name. Blueskin came next in order of favouritism, while Warrington appeared rather shaky at 20 to 1. One of the features of the evening was the desire to back Mr. llughes's youngster Planet, who finally left off firm at 28 to 1. In these days of " forestalling," to prevent which it is thought necessary that commissions must be worked in the most cunning and mysterious manner, it was a treat to see the way in which Mr. Bryan backed his horse Runic to win him a good stake. Commencing with taking 1000 to 10 of " Stevey," he followed it up by taking 1000 to 15 twice, then 1000 to 20 twice, then 2000 to 40, &c., and the horse finally was returned at 1000 to 30. Mr. Bryan thus got on for as much as he wanted at good prices, and like a thorough sportsman. The support awarded to the Irish Queen filly by her noble owner had the effect of shortening her price, while Donaldbain and Mercury were also backed separately and coupled. Restitution was not fancied much at 1000 to 30, whilst many of the knowing ones at Newmarket were "put in the cart" by the scratching of the other hope of Israel, Suffolk. " That old Bees wing" was supported at 1000 to 30, although she had a few days before touched the " fatal" 100 to 1, and was hourly expected to have been numbered among the dead. " Stevey's pony," Stradbroke, was backed at 40 to 1 and left off at 1000 to 30 of fered, which was also Pietro's quotation. See-Saw was backed at 50 to 1, whilst coupled with Restitu tution 1,000 to 50 was taken about the pair. Guy of Warwick had a most inveterate enemy, who kept on laying 1,000 to 15 against him as long as he could find a taker, which price was also offered against the Marquis of Carabas. Ecatte had 1,000 to 9 betted against him four times, and a start for the money given in. The morning of Tuesday opened in anything but an agreeable manner, a high wind and driving showers giving promise of an un pleasant day. The weather, however, although threatening, and with an occasional shower, was better than early morning betokened. At the rooms The Special was quite the rage, and supplanted everything else in the quotations, 5 to 1 being taken about him. Cecil, too, was in good demand at 7 to 1, whilst Blue Gown receded to 10 to 1. Lady Raglan was to all appearances another Dane bury phantom, and receded swiftly in the quota tions. The betting on the other competitors pre sented no noticeable alteration. The attendance on the Heath was an exceedingly large one, and amongst those present the non. B. Disraeli was ob served riding in company with Baron Rothschild, and apparently taking great interest in the proceed ings. Racing commenced with a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, won by Lizzie Hexharn, who was not backed for a shilling, Satyr, who was made favou rite, finishing nowhere—a preliminary datnp..r for the followers of Blue Gown in the big race. All the eight entered put in an appearance for the next race, which was won easily by Monarch of the Glen, Artesian starting first favourite, and finishing last. The Town Plate fell to Ambition, and then the great event of the day came on for decision. The betting previous to the start un derwent some slight alterations, Special exchanging places in the quotations with Cecil. Blue Gown still remained at 10 to 1, whilst Beeswing, probably on account of Fordham being in the saddle, ad vanced to 20 to 1. Runic also came to 100 to 6. Special, as above alluded to, retrogressed in favour itism, and before the flag dropped had a most un healthy odour, and the other mutations in the bet ting will be found recorded in the proper place. The 27 competitors, singularly the exact number of last year, were marshalled at the post in excellent time, and but for the fractiousness of Runic would have been got off at the first attempt. Mr. Bryan's colt broke away, and after running a mile was in duced to join his horses, when the flag fell to an excellent start. Our Mary Ann, to serve her stable companion The Special, showed the way at a fair pace till through the ditch, when she was closed upon by Cecil, The Special, Warrington, The Spy, and Blueskin, Stradbroke at the same time taking a "feeler," but being unable to live the pace, fell away. At the Bushes, where a number of people were stationed on the look-out for Cambridgeshire horses, Blue Gown took a prominent position on the right, and his colours for a moment appeared so conspicuous that a shout was raised, "Blue Gown wins !" but before the descent into the Abingdon Mile bottom the weight told upon Sir Joseph Hawley's colt, and he gradually giving way Wells stopped him, the jockey declaring after the race that he could have been third or fourth if he bad persevered, but Sir Joseph had not backed Blue Gown for a place. By the victory of Cecil, who won very cleverly at the finish, Mr. Swindell landed a good stake, and a large propor tion of the public were also on. Restitution ran a greatly improved horse, but could not get nearer than Lothario did in Lecturer's year. The winner was trained by John Nightingall, of Epsom, but from the variety of candidates from that place namely, Beeswing, Planet, Aurifera, and Cecil— the townspeople were not on to a man, as they gene rally are when a great coup is landed for Epsom. The only other remarkable event was the Clearwell Stakes, which fell to Mr. Crawfurd's extraordi narily smart filly Heather Bell, who had no diffi culty in disposing of the highly tried Martinique.

As soon as he re joined his horses the flag was lowered, the lot getting away in excellent order, but directly they had settled down to their work Our Mary Ann, taking advantage of her light weight, rushed to the fore, her object being to secure a good pace for The Special ; but although she soon had a command of at least four lengths the pace was not strong. Cecil, The Special, Donaldbain, Warrington, Guy of Warwick, and The Spy, in compact order, sue ceeded, and just behind them came Marquis of Carabac, Tormentor, and Mercury; the bright colours of Blue Gown, who got off on level terms with his horses, but was immediately steadied, being observable at the head of the ruck, the most prominent of which were Choral, Blueskin, Stradbroke, and Pietro, at the tail of affairs coming Planet, Nelusko, Restitution, Beeswing, Aurifera, and Ruric, the latter of whom was hopelessly tailed off in the first quarter of a mile. As they ran towards " Choke Jade," the command of Mr. Day's filly was decreased, Cecil, The Special, and Guy of Warwick closing upon her as they streamed through the ditch-gap. By this time the field began to present a considerable tail, Aurifera joining Ruric in the extreme rear, while Bees wing began gradually to compound. When they had got fairly from beyond the precincts of the ditch Stradbroke took advantage of an opening in the front rank and drew up to the quarters of Warrington, who was lying in the immediate wake of The Special and Cecil, Our Mary Ann still holding the lead, but her advantage was not more than a length. Guy of Warwick, Donaldbain, and Mar quis of Carabas were now the most conspicuous of the re mainder, Lady Raglan being discernible in company with Planet in the immediate wake of Blue Gown, Restitutio and Nelusko, gradually threading their way from the ruck in which were Dalby and Pietro. Crossing the flat to wards the starting-;o.t of the Rowley Mile rapid tailing off commenced, Choral refring suddenly, and the pace was beginning to toll on Tormentor and Marquis of Ca rabas, whose retirement allowed Blueskin and The Spy, who had been racing head and head in the centre of the ruck from th ) ditch, to take more prominent positions, and their example was immediately afterwards followed by Restitution and Nelusko, so that the front rank when they got to the Rowley-mile post had undergone some considerable change. Our Mary Ann had shot her bott at the point indicated, and The Spy and Blueskin raced past her, but Vie pair were sido by side on the right, Mr. Day's filly lying in their wake and just in advance of Cecil, The Special, Warrington, Blueskin, Ne lusko, and Restitution, Stradbroke and Donaldbain having beaten a retreat, so that Blue Gown was as prominent as anything in the second divi sion. As they approached the Bushes Nelusko was going so strong and well that he pulled away at his bridle and raced past the Spy and Blueskin, but Butler steadying him the pair were again left in command of the field, which was gradually fining down. Blue Gown just before reaching the bushes strode out of the ruck, showing pro minently on the right, and he looked so well that shouts were raised in his favour; but the weight told its tale, and the Derby winner gradually compounded, and being eased by Wells when pursuit was hopeless fell away into the rear. At the Bushes Blueskin cannoned against The Spy, and at. the same moment Cecil passed the pair and took a slight lead, but many mistook the colours for those of The Special, though widely different, and the success of W. Day's horse was proclaimed by a loud shout, but Mail Train's half brother had been iu trouble long before that time ; and The Spy, Mueskin, and Warrington being in difficulties as they descended Cie Bushes Hill the issue was left to Cecil, who was with on the right, Nelusko and Restitution in the centre. The Baron's colt in the Ab:ng don-mile bottom headed Nelusko, and looked as if he were going to cut down Cecil, but t: ough he managed to slake off Nelusko ho tired dreadfully under the weight at the finish, though ho answered Morris', calls with undeniable gameness. Wyatt riding Cecil with exemplary patience, howevtr, forged gradually ahead, and won rather cleverly by a length, Restitution finishing four lengths in front of Nelusko, who was same distance in advance of The Spy, fourth; Warrington was fifth, not more than a head be foie Blueskin, sixth, Guy of Warwick coming next. Then at a wide interval came Marquis of Carabas eighth, Tor mentor ninth, Mr. Johnstone's pair, Mercury and Donald bain, finishing tenth and eleventh. Our Mary Ann, Pietro, and The Special together were next ; a cluster of horses, comprising Ecarte, Lady Raglan, Paul Jones, Choral, Stradbroke, and the Irish Queen filly, pulling up in a body ; Aurifera, Dalby, Beeswing, and Planet succeeding, the last of all being Blue Gown, who walked in, having been judiciously eased when pursuit was hopeless.

(From the Anglo-American Times.) The following address of the Democratic State Committee of South Carolina is instructive, as showing who the disfranchised whites are, and how far those who assert their disabilities are justified : —"lt was referred to the State Central Executive Committee, by the late Democratic Convention, to inquire into the disabilities imposed, by reason of the war, upon a portion of our people, restraining them from the exercise of the elective franchise in South Carolina, and to publish the conclusions at tained for the information of the people of the State. The committee, in the discharge of that duty, announce that they have examined the sub ject, and beg to state :-1. That no such disabi lities now exist, by or under the Acts of Congress known as the Reconstruction Acts, the State having been officially declared to be in the Union. 2. That no such disabilities exist under the so-called amend ment, known as the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the disa bilities therein expressed having reference to office holding and not to voting. 3. That no such disa bilities exist by the so-called State Constitution of 1868, under which it is claimed that the State has been reconstructed and restored to the Union. The undersigned therefore announce that no such disa bilities exist by force of any law, or authority what ever ; and they urge their hitherto disfranchised fellow citizens, in every part of the State, to exer cise their right to vote at the coming election for President and Vice-President, of which right they have been so long deprived by military power." The Legislature of Georgia, in reply to the Go vernor's protest against the expulsion of the negro members, which he declared to be illegal, told that functionary not to interfere in business that did not concern him. The Senate, as anticipated, followed the example of the House, declaring negro mem bers ineligible, two of whom they at once turned out. They then passed a bill excluding negroes from juries, while the House passed another render ing citizens ineligible for election, having one eighth of negro blood in their veins. Men in Georgia will have to keep up their pedigree as race horses in other countries, or their market price may be materially affected, and the State should support an analytical chemist to analyse blood and pro nounce decidedly on the true proportion contained therein of the African current. Many of the ex pelled coloured members have proceeded to Wash ington to present their case to Congress. The latest news is dated Atlanta, Sept. 18, when the 'louse passed the Senate Relief Bill by 71 to 62 votes. Resolutions were adopted repealing its for mer action, staying the collection of debts, and de claring that collections can be made when the pre sent Relief Bill receives the Governor's signature. The Senate adopted an amendment to the Tax Bill, taxing foreign insurance companies one per cent. on premiums or otherwise. State companies are to be taxed on their capital stock. An address was presented to the President on the 11th September by a committee from the Legislature of Tennessee, asserting the want of security for life or property, and the impossibility of checking law lessness without military force. Accounts are given of the outrages by the Ku-Klux-Klan, which are detailed in a partisan spirit, being confined mainly to the proceedings of the late Confederates. A bill was to be passed by the Legislature which would enable Governor Brownlow to outlaw dis orderly persons who are liable to be shot wherever found by the militia he would then be empowered to call cut. Aware that such a step is but the first to a civil war they earnestly ask for the work of repression to be performed by United States troops. Should the President refuse to send Federal forces nothing would remain for them in the present threatening state of the country but to call out the militia, which would be followed by war. The Pre sident informed the delegation that he would in struct General Thomas to furnish the military as sistance necessary to enable the civil authorities to maintain order, and execute the laws. A correspon dent of allorthern journal had an interview with the Governor, imitating the man of the Cincinnati Com mercial who had been so successful with Forrest; the one account about balances the other, and both show a state of society which is not encouraging for the lovers of peace. Grant will evidently have to shake the Forrests and the Brownlows up in a bag together so that they will not know whether they are standing on their head or their heels before he can let " the people have peace." Forrest said that every Radical was marked, and would at once be killed on the outbreak of the new war. Browniow asserts " Forrest to lie when he states he is not a member of the Ku-Klux-Klan ;" and elsewhere he says " there is great danger of a rebellion in Tennessee, and I shall mete out death to every member of the Ku-Klux-Klan." " As every Confederate is a Ku-Klux, every Confederate should be shot." His statements, if the correspon dent's report be true,-are worse far than those of any Southern leader, for, considering his official position as Governor, and making due allowance for Southern bitterness in defeat, Brownlow's ravings are far more unjustifiable. He declares—" The Southerners lie when they say they do not wish to restore slavery. To give the rebels the right to vote would result in depriving the negroes of their votes, and end in the re-establishment of the Southern Confederacy. . . . If rebels try to vote I will call out the militia, and carry my pur pose to the bitter end." The committee of the Tennessee Legislature re ceived, it is thought, satisfactory pledges in their confidential interviews with Mr. Johnson, for they I returned believing in his good faith, and though the Legislature passed the Militia Bill it was in a modified form. Governor Brownlow will organize that force, but will not without urgent necessity attempt to use it. It is said that the members Wil -1 Ham H. Wisener, Thomas A. Hamilton, and J. H. Agee, had to bring a strong pressure before the President yielded to a measure he dislikes so much. There was no pooh-poohing the danger threatening the State, and Mr. Johnson wa3 plainly told that the people would hold him strictly accountable for any outbreak. General Thomas was requested to state whether he required an additional force, and if so to detail its strength; and he was directed to give all necessary aid to the civil authorities, to execute the laws, preserve the peace, and protect the law-abiding citizens of that State. The Secretary of War added, in his letter of instructions dated 11th Sept., " And it is the wish of the President that you exercise within the limits of your lawful authority full dis cretion in your action, to the end that in any event the peace may be preserved." The passage of the Militia Bill must have met at least in the Senate with a strong opposition. Both Houses sat till near midnight on the 7th September, when they finally effected a compromise. The Governor can now call out the force he deems necessary, but he cannot dispatch soldiers into a county without a petition from ten unconditional Union men, or three magis trates alleging the necessity, and, as we before ob served, on the county falls the expense. If the Judge, Attorney-General, Legislature, and ten Union men of a county agree in considering or ganised resistance to law exists, martial law may be proclaimed in that county. The Bill passed the Senate by 11 to 8, and the House by a three-fourths majority. The Governor prefers raising the militia in East Tennessee, but the number is not anywhere limited, and he expresses the earnest hope that there may be no need to call out these troops, while he promises to co-operate with General Thomas if the President supplies him with sufficient force to pre serve order. Dr. J. B. Clayton, of Memphis, has been arrested and lodged in gaol on a charge of poisoning Lawrence Kraft, one of his patients, who died suddenly on Sunday, the 13th Sept. Lieutenant Governor Jones, of Texas, a candi date for re-election, has declared in favour of negro suffrage.

Two members of the Legislature, County Clerk, United States As se=sor and Collector, and two United States con tractors for building a freedmen's school-house, were driven from Lafayette county. Twenty. one Union men were killed—three whites and eighteen negroes. We cannot tell what credibility is to be attached to the following letter, but it is said by Radical papers to be trustworthy : " There is no longer room to question that general, wholesale assassination of the leading Republicans is determined upon. Wheeler of White County and Barker of Crittenden have been shot, evidently with intent to kill. Merrick of Lafayette county has been murderously attacked in his own office. Johnson of - Mississippi county has been killed. M'Gown of Columbia county has been in the woods for more than two weeks. In Lafayette seven coloured men and one white were murdered by a gang of forty men. Gibbon, of Perry county, with thirty of his neighbours, have been driven to this city for protection. The men whose names are given in the foregoing were all members of the State Legislature. These outrages were all com mitted during the four weeks preceding the 28th of August by the Southern gentlemen who have accepted the situation." Balsam° and Percussion also ran.

A leading American Baptist paper asserts the greater decorum of parties in the heat of Presidential elections now than formerly. It speaks of the present political campaign as a dull affair, tame and languid in a marked degree when contrasted with that of 1840 or of 1844. Those who judge by the attack lately made by judge Black on Mr.Se ward may be surprised at the statement of the Watchman and Reflector, but it is nevertheless true that gross personalities are not only less frequent, but are now more generally con demned by the public. Many instances of extrava gant abuse might be brought forward in answer, coupled with the remark that if things were worse before, they must have been very bad indeed. This we grant; they were worse, they are bad, but it is hopeful, as they are growing better, and there is an evident and most satisfactory change among the people. There never were greater issues at stake nor a more earnest desire of the one party to keep in, and of the opposition to turn it out, than at present. It is not, therefore, because the people are indifferent to the result that the campaign is tame in its fierce invectives, but that the malicious personal assaults do not produce the results formerly attained, and often recoil on those who use the weapons. If Mr. Pendleton, when stumping .7%la.ine, rather injured than benefited his party, he pronounced an opinion which well became his high position as the favourite candidate of a large section for the Presidency. Separating the opposing candidates from the party issues, he spoke in high terms of Grant's military fame and personal character, which lie said he would not injure if he could, and nothing more re dounded to his own credit and his party's through out the country than these few words. Putting aside the attempt of the New York World to prove Grant a drunkard, which has so completely failed, we doubt whether there have been many really vicious personal attacks on the candidates, and no one ever hears of the ladies of their families, who in former days were sometimes dragged on the stage. The truth is that greater wealth and leisure are refining the public taste, and society would not now tolerate the campaign tactics of olden times. Our cotemporary says :—" Men who were young in 1840 were shocked by the savage language of the Whigs in that ever-memorable year, a year that was the seed-time of all that has since been reaped of evil in the United States. But old men laughed at their alarm, and told them that the language then used sounded flat and dull to those who could remember 1800; and that even no further back than 1828 there was language used that would have shocked the coarsest partizans of 1840. They were right. At the close of the last century and at the beginning of the present century thousands of re spectable persons looked upon Mr. Jefferson as the very embodiment of the evil principle, and they did not hesitate to speak of him and his friends as freely almost as they spoke of Satan and his fami liars ; while Mr. Jefferson and his supporters re torted in terms quite as fierce and vindictive as those that were employed against them. More than a quarter of a century later Gen. Jackson was treated as if he were a cruel and ridiculous madman, and his great military exploits in Louisiana, then the most brilliant operations known to our history, were spoken of as if they had been a source of injury and disgrace to his country. His private life was torn to pieces ; and his wife, a most amiable and exemplary woman—pious, benevolent, and ac tively charitable—was held up to public scorn as if she had been a world's wonder for wickedness. There can be no doubt that her life was shortened by these infamous assaults on her reputation. The JacksOnians, though they did not retaliate by making war on women, were hardly more fair in their treat ment of their masculine foes. They did much in justice to President J. Q. Adams, and they ruined Mr. Clay by their unfounded charges of corrup tion—for the impression then created against him clung to him for life, and was the reason why he was not nominated for the Presidency. in 1840, when a Whig nomination was tanta mount to an election ; and it was the real cause of his defeat in the closely-balanced contest of 1844." While it is gratifying to note the steady improve ment, it cannot be denied that there is plenty of room for the onward progress of the nation in this direction, and of this we could have no better proof than in Judge Black's attack on Mr. Seward. Our readers are aware that Mr. Black was selected by the President to take a leading part in his defence, that the advocate declined acceptance without the condition that the President should take measures to put other and more favoured clients of his into possession of Alta Vela, a guano island belonging to St. Domingo. On the President's refusal he not only refused to act, but furiously assailed the Sec retary of State, whom he endeavoured to implicate as being connected with some nefarious job in favour of opposition claimants. As usual the manifest animus recoiled on the assailant, and Mr. Black lost not only the prestige which would have accrued from a prominent place in the notable trial of the age, but lost also his guano heap. As might have been expected, he has again failed to do the only wise thing left to him, and has done the only foolish thing that remained, for he has written to the President a letter which was grossly insolent, more especially in him who had been a Cabinet Minister, to address to such a func tionary. Mr. Black can never recover the position from which he has so heedlessly descended, for the document is not only au outrage ou the Chief Ma gistrate, but it is an outrage to the Executive, and degrading to the leaders of the United States. A paper dictated by such spite is like the hasty rifle shot of an eager, trembling, excited rifleman— it not only fails to score, but it misses the butt, and may be productive of injury in some wholly unex pected quarter, while the overcharged and loosely held rifle kicks the shooter's shoulder out of joint. The idea of abusing Mr. Seward to the President, whose chief adviser and most responsible Minister he is, is in itself sufficiently bad taste, but the idea of abusing Mr. Johnson because he kept such a Secretary of State and acted on his advice, when he was bound so to act, is an outrage which society ought to punish if it be not punishable by law. The lead ing articles of some American papers are not re markable for reservation or dignified rebuke in what they condemn politically and morally, but we never saw the rem irks of any editor which equalled the violent language of this lead ing lawyer. Mr Johnson is told that all the misfortunes of his unfortunate Administration are due to Mr. Seward. The furious assaults on the recreant Senators, as the Judges were called who formed independent opinions on the evidence before them in the Impeachment Trial, tended, in no small degree, in the disgust created, to hasten the refor mstion to which we have alluded. The Washburn and Donnelly affair shocked the country, and left a stigma which Mr. Donnelly will find it easier to create than to obliterate, an i the present letter of Mr. Black, affecting, as it does, men in the highest position, will do something to hasten the reform, while it shuffles its author (.1 u.lge Black) off the public stage. 71 - 12, PACIFIC RAILROAD. The Central Pacific Railroad 13 now completed to the North Bend of the Huml3oldt, within 300 miles of Salt Lake. It is expected that the gap of 600 miles between the eastern and western portions of the Pacific Railroad will be reduced to 300 be fore the close of the year, and that the whole will be completed before July, 1869. The earnings of the Central Pacific Railroad Company for tits month of July, cash, were in gold— Gross earnings Operating Expenses 80,352 72 Net earnings $179,238 17 The Secretary of the Treasury has issued bonds to the amount of $1,280,000 to the company, that amount being due on the completion of forty mile of that road, extending from the 215th to the 255th mile post east from Sacramento. The track' layer which we fully described iu our issue of Sept. 5, seems to be doing its work wonderfully, if see may juage that it has enabled the company to by six miles and 800 feet of the track in one day, which is claimed to be the greatest railway eon' struction feat ever performed. Regarding the Union Pacific portion official information has beelt received of the completion of another section Of twenty miles extending to the eight hundredth wile post west of Omaha, and about three hundred miles east of Great Salt Lake City. The section having been approved by the Government Commissioners and the Secretary of the Interior, it is recommended that bonds be issued to the company.
