Capt. w. Dowty will accept on,
thanks for late papers.

We have had two alarms of fire
this week neither Of which proved
serious.
The anxiety Of the people to know
what is daily transporting, is on the
increase, sill they are kept in sus
pense; we are. at this moment, far
behind the times. For this we can
conceive no remedy, and per conse-
quence, we feel hesitancy in pen
ming an elaborate article on the sub
iect OF the doings of our Confede-
racy.
Not day passes but we hear of
some rumor, which for the moment
interests the listener, but in a very
short time the whole proves unfoun-
ded. The people have been lead to
understand that Vice President Ste
phens had started on mission to
France, yet, from the best informa-
ton we can obtain, he has neither
done this, nor contemplates doing
it, for he is still in the Confederacy.
The most Of our intelligence now, is
received from Northern sources, and
it would be well for us to be cauti,us
and not place too much confidence
il anything we hear or read, having
igs origin in the Yankee lines.
We lean from a gentleman direct
from 6 en-. Prices Headquarters, that
Chicago and New York papers Were
received there, which state that the
enemy have determined to cease thei,
efforts to reduce Charleston, having
concluded that, with the obstruc
tions in the harbor, etc, it is folly tc
continue the siege. The papers al
luded to, handle the administrator
somewhat roughly for deceiving tn.
people, and say it is high time tina
the people were made acquainted
with facts instead Of keeping then
in ignorance.

The Law Allowing soldiers to Vote.

Some of the Abolition papers OF this State
are just now laboring to create the impression
that their party alone is devoted to the inter-
ests of our gallant soldiers; that II alone orig
inally favored Law allowing them to vote, etc
Now, the truth is, it was never in favor of such
. law, until the circulation of Democratic papers
10 the army had been prohibited, and the party
screws had been applied to commissioned Off
GERS. A year ago, the Abolition majority 10
the Ohio Legislature refused topass the law,
claiming that it was unconstitutional, and
would destroy the purity Of the ballot-box'
They were not really and sincerely in
favor of it at the late session, for they
kicked it, like football, from one House to
the other and then back again. times without
number, until just before the adjournment
when enough of them hypocritically came to
its support to pass it. They even undertook to
expel the Democratic member who introduced
the fret bill on the subject! The Democrats
were its original friends, supporting II from the
beginning to the end, laboring all the time to
perfect Il so as to preserve the purity of elec-
tions under it. In this thing aswell as in every
thing else, the Democrats party has been the
true friend of the soldier. ri4eas.Y

IFrom the Chicago Times Of the 90d.

The hardest political battle which has ever
been known in Chicago was fought yesterday,
and the result is A SPLENDID DDMocRATlc TRI-
UMPH.
To enable the reader to understand the splen-
dor Of the triumph, We must chow what the
Democracy have had to contend against.
The total number of votes polled for Mayor,
yesterday, was 90, ,306. At the State and Con-
gressioDal elections last fall-uDe of the most
exciting elections ever held in the city-the
total number OF votes polled within the same
territory now covered by he city wa only Is, :
786, including two or three regimen t. Of SOL
diers now absent. There has been no aciual
material increase Of legal voters since last fall,
but here Ia an apparent increase Of 1880! The
simple truth s, that the Abolitonists, through
their secret organic itions, haue imported tioo or
three thousand men and roted them at this election
Look at the total vote in the Fret Ward, where
there are comparatively few residences--it run
ming up to 1879! Will any body tell us there
are that number OF legal voters in the ward
Look, too, at the Sixteenth Ward-total vote,
1906! Will any body tell US there are that
number of legal voters in that wsrd7 Look
also at other wards Ia the Fret Ward the
Democracy ought not to have been beaten
twenty votes, and they are beaten 1896 votes!
and in the Sixteenth Ward they should have
had $50 majority, whereas thsy have but l74.
But we cannot analyze this matter this m yrn-
Ing. An enormous fraud has beeI perpetrated,
and it will be exposed, II cannot escape ex'
posure.
Notwithstanding the enormous fraud, the
Democracy hsue carried the city. Mayor Sher-
man is re. elected by 1lS msjority, and all the
candidates on the ticket are elected by equal or
greater msjorities.
For all practical purposes this majority is as
good as eighteen hundred msjoiity would be,
and the result determines the fact that CHICAGO
IS DEMOCRATIC CITY. If the election bad been
an honest one, the result would have shown
Chicago to be q Democratic city by on im
mense majority.
AS to the Council: The hold.overs are six
Democrats and three Abolitionists. Thus the
new Common Council will stand twenty Dem
ocrsts to thirteen Aboltionists. Enough is as
good as feast.
The Democracy Of the city are jubilant over
the result, and well they may be. IT Is A PURE
DEMooRATrc VICTORY. Il is terrible verdict
against the Administration at Washington and
against Abolition and it's politics. 1t is such q
verdict BY city which, only q little while
ago, was claimed as the very citadel of Abo-
litionism.

WEST PoINT, April Is.
The Corps OF Cadets were permitted to-day
to express to General George B Mcclellan 10

OF bis ability As General and soldier, and the
value they attach to aspersions and surs, which
have received a deserved answer in his silent
contempt. A serenade by the post band to him.

tation OF the officers of the academy, many OF
whom had fought and bled under his leadership,
a privilege envied by US all, and one we yet
hope for. Later in the evening the whole corps
proceeded to the hotel, where a band oil anna
teurs performed some military airs, including
"Benny Havens," with new verse in his hon
or. The cheers that greeted this alusion, and
the call for "three cheers for Little Mac ION
his appearance, were enthusiastic beyond de-
scription. There seemed to be no end to them,
for hardly had one round ceased before t was
succeeded by another that made the first seem
whisper. Actual loss of voice and desire
to hear the General speak, at last produced
dead silence, which was broken by lev senti.

In the evening General Mcclellan was wait

followed by one from Cold Syringe, the mem
bers of which broke the usual reverence for the

Testimony of a Political Opponent.

HrNaY ]. RAYMOND, the editor OF the New
York Times and OK Lieutenant Governor ot
that State, though late In coming to his senees'
ssems 10 have discovered the error OF his Ways.
No paper in the Abolition ankle has been more
bitter and denunciatory Of Democrats than the
7y,.s. t. commenced some six months ago,
and has been zsalously engaged, until within
short time past, in the free use OF the terms
Traitors, Disloyalists. Butternuts and Copper
headp, initiating in vulgar slang and abuse the
lowest and yilest of the Abolition sheets. But
new light has apparently broken 10 upon the
mind OF the editor, Mr., RAYMOND, showing
sipus of a return to sense and reason. Whether
1. is TO be regarded as q permanent cure, or as
only a lucid interval to be followed by ut OF
fercer radical madness than ever, remains to
be seen.
An anniversary meeting of the eo-called
nLoyal League" was held in Madison Square,
New York city, on Monday, April 20. Among
the speakers at that meeting was the Times
editor, Mr.. RAYMOND We quote below the
conclusion Of Mr.. RAYMoND's speech from the
report in bis own paper, the Times After re-
marking that every man hs hearers, him
self. and everybody else-has right to differ
from the President or from Congress, or from
the Cabinet, or from all together, on mere ques'
tons of policy, so that he 10 right on the main
point-opposition to dividing this Union and
giving the rebels triumph-Mr. RAYMOND in
conclusion said:
While, then, fellow citizens, this contest With
the rebellion lssts, LET US hear nothing of divis-
ions upon the main point. Have as many 9th
era az ven like; have any division on the face
of the earth among yourselves that will not In
terrupt the career of our armies to victory, and
the career of free government to prosperity aod
TO glory. Differ on minor matters, be Demo-
crat, ANYTHING you like; for my own part, l
don't believe there is any party in this county;
I do not believe there is any knot Of men sufh-
ciently large and sufficiently respectable to be
under the name Of party that is not loyal to
the Constitution and the Union. The Demo-
cratic party have not agreed With in its meas.
ures; have thought many Of them detrimental
to the various interests OF the country and the
American States. But, rely upon it, they had
a path Of duty marked out for themselves.-
they stcod ready to save the nation ifthey could;
perhaps they were in hopes they would have
chance by-and-by. Andi this Administration
cannot iaye the Union, then pray God in
Heaven to send another that can, whether it be
Democratic or any other. We are to have the
Union preserved; we are to have the American
nation still existing, first and foremost among
the nations of tne earth, none of its stars
bIotted out, none of It's glories dimmed; Its
flag untainted, It shall still pursue Its path Of
honor, of glory and Of freedom, through ages
yet unborn.

and battery, commended by Col. Bryant. The
rebels had been 80 roughly handled by Major
Hayes that they did not follow Us. Ni
As soon as possible, Col. Bryant moved his
men down to the Coldwatar, and made an at
tack on the rebel line on the opposite side Of
that stream. The artillery could not be used
as successfully as was desired, hence the infan.
try and cavalry were all that could be brought
into active operation. The fighting continued

The Journals Lie About the Reynolds

over the Journal of yesterday (April ~, see
another article of the same purport, and fol

this foul alauder on the Democrats, would JUS

IT'S true the Abolitionists had two tickets. Or
one Of their tickets, which they had the audaci'
ty to style "Union ticket" there was two ne

is why they presumed to call the ticket Union
