A Hopeful Sign.

The World thinks it is q healthful sign of thu
times that even the Republicans are getting
FESTIVE, and revolving against the arbitrary and
illegal acts of the administration. The Senate
has actually mustered courage enough to pass
| an act prohibiting the interference of the mill
tary with any national or State election which
is to be held hereafter. The system of detec
tives or spies in the military as well sall othel
departments of the Government has come to
tons to that of the most despotic countries o.
Europe, but the Tribune says it is at last com
ing under restraint. Gen. Augur has issued an
order: that hereafter, no citizen, commissioned
officer, or enlisted man shall be arrested on the
report of detective, excepting in extreme ca
mediate action Is needed. All officers employ.
ing detectives will be held responsible for their
improper action or abuse of authority.
Congress also seems to show some DISPOSE.
ton to check the illegal exercise of power by
the officers of the Internal Revenue bill, which,
as it stood, authorized any Assistant Assessor
of the internal tax to issue a warrant for the
arrest of any person failing or refusing to
comply with the injunctions of the law. Sen
ator HARRIS moved to amend so as to provide
for the usual process of law in effecting the
arrest of delinquent. He said:

disappointed in finding the proposition resisted
by the chairman of the Committee on Finance.

for furnishing delinQuentS under the provisions
of this bill without any violation of the Ordina

quite willing to accept it. Now, sir, confess
that am very much opposed to allowing ar.

The 1910 Bonds.

The subscription to the 1910 bonds is still
before the public, and over seventy millions
have been already taken. At the present
rate of premium on gold, they pay over ten
per cent. interest in currency, and at the con-
clusion of the war, they will certainly be worth
par in gold. See the advertisement in another
column.

Retaliation.

=. The rebel General GARDNER, taken prisoner
at Port Hudson, and since confined in Fort
Lafayette, has been taken from the tort and
sent, it is supposed, to Gen. FOSTER, in COM
mand at Charleston If the destination re-
ported be the correct one, we can account for
it in one way only, which is that he with 9TH
ers, no doubt, is to be taken there and placed
under the fire of the rebel batteries, in retalia-
ton for the same thing which is being prac.
ticed by the rebels there upon some of our
prisoners in their hands. Gen. Foster applied
for permission to do so, as will be seen by the
correspondence elsewhere published.

what Father Welles, lmbecility has
OOnes

In the face of all our boasting as to the rapid
increase and superior strength OF our navy,
stands the single glaring and disgracefnl tact
that for three years mere handful OF rebel
privateers have ranged the ocean with impu-
nifty, and, in spite of all we have done. or at
tempted to do, have actually driven one'half
our ships from the ocean, and forced nearly
the other half to seek the protection of other
flags. On the sea we are actually reduced to
the status of q third-rate power, and this by a
paltry halfdozen enterprising rebel pirates,
who laugh to scorn our boosted naval suprem-
acy over the South. The New York CONNER
cial Advertiser makes the following shameful
exhibit:
The British Board of Trade returns for the
month of April makes a humilating exhibit of
the position of American shipping in the port
of Great Britain. Time was when the tonnage
of American vessels at British ports was second
only to that of British vessels. In 1861, the
tonnage of American vessels entering the
ports of Great Britain was nearly one-half the
standard is reduced below that of little Nor
way. The following comparison shOwd the
tonnage entered and cleared at the ports of the
United kingdom for the four months of the
year:

While there has been large increase in the
tonnage of British vessels and in the aggre-
United States vessels Las decreased more than
one-halt in the entries, and nearly One-half in
the clearances. The total tonnage entering
British ports during the first four months Of
this year was 320,382 tons larger than the

The DRAFT IN OIMsTED CoUNTY.-The
draft for twenty.eight men in this county
yielded the Government SO. 900, but not sim
gle soldier! This amount was drawn from the
following town, viz. High Forest, 81 100 |;
Viola, 5000; Dover, 5000, and Salem: $500.
If most of these towns had raised 800 cash
bounties and paid it to their citizens who were
induced to 90 and enlist elsewhere, the draft
might hNe been avoided, and the tax would
have been light. As it is dear bought expert

The following is the only news dispatch that
could be got over the wires Tuesday:
New YORK, June 81.
Gold to-day has been sold as high as 24O.
All the lines East of New York were so oc-

upon the excitement in commercial circles,
produced by the unprecedented rise in gold,
that scarcely any news reports were transmit

UNDIGNIFlED PERsECUnoN.-The New
York Round Table says there is story
in circulation, and well vouched for, that a
strong effort was made to prevent the de-
livery of the Grafton by Gen. MCCLELLAN
at West Point last week. A high military
official came on from Washington for the
express purpose of effecting postpone
ment OF the exercises, or at least the sub
stitution of some orator in place Of Gen.
MCCLELLAN, but the arrangements were so
far perfected as to admit of no change in
the programme. The editors of the Round
Table, although politically opposed to Mo
CLELLAN, have the manliness to say:
Whatever may be the feelings of the Admin
lstratlon toward this General. we are unwilling
to believe that it would be so derelict to sense
of duty to itself, and of courtesy to another, as
to strive to hinder him from fulfilling purely
literary appointment, which he accepted only
at the persuasion of friends whose claims upon
him he could not ignore.
The Bound Table editors are unwilling
to believe what is above stated, but they
might have learned, on inquiry, that the
sanctity of MCCLELLAN's private CORES
pondence through the mails has been vio-
lated to such an extent that his friends
now send many of their letters to him by
private hands or by express. Knowing
this, we are prepared to believe anything.

YEsTERDAY.-Wednesday, June 22d,
1864, will long be remembered in New
York for the elimination of radical folly
which sent a shock through the entire
community such as has not been felt for
years. 1t is important to note that the
eyes of the entire newspaper press, with
Insignificant exception, seem to have been
opened for once to the true light. Some
OF our radical contemporaries discourse
now in the very words and phrases which
we have used, and which they have abused
US heretofore for using. Let US be thank
full for wisdom learned even at snch cost,
and now for a united effort to keep the
ship Oh an even keel. Avoid excitement,
be hopeful, make the best OF things, seek
to find good in the worst of circumstances,
and we shall yet bring the old country out
of her troubles with safety. The darkest
time is often just before the light. The
people have had experience of radical lead
ers. and we may hope that they are now
ready to try old-fashioned counsels, which
have heretofore made US prosperous and

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 9.-New JERSEY
gives Mcclellan about $500 majority. Starr
and Newell (Abolition), and Sitgreaves,
Rogers and Wright (Democrats) are elected
to Congress. The State Senate will stand
thirteen Democrats to eight Abolitionists-
an Abolition gain of one member. The
House, with three counties to hear from
stands thirty Abolition to twenty-one Dem
ocrat. The Abolitionists probably have one
or two majority there, but on joint ballot
the Democrats will have small majority,
thus securing the United States Senator to
succeed Mr.. Ten Eyck (Abolition). The
Abolitionists gain 5000 votes in the State
over 1862. Gov. Parker was elected by
nearly $4,000 majority. The Abolition
party carry every county in South and
West Jersy, electing every member of the
Legislature there.

Attack on Grants Left-The Ene-
my in the Shenandoah 10 Assume
the Offensive.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The Herald's Army
of the Potomac dispatch reports that the
rebels attacked our extreme left on Sunday
forenoon, but were quickly sent whirling
within their own lines. Gen. Grant had
previously issued orders for extra vigilance
on all our lines.
The Herald's dispatch from Sheridan's
army Sth, states that Sheridan had received
information that the rebels intend immedi-
ately to assume the offensive. Ewell has
superseded Early. Fitzhugh Lees division
of cavalry was on Monday at Wardensvllle,
on the Cacapon river. Imboden was also
reported there, and the rebel force was
over 5000 strong. Mosby has been rein
forced by regiment of Virginia cavalry
and on Monday was at Berryville. A raid
is expected on Winchester or on Sheridan's
line of communication. Rebel movements
have been counteracted. Cavalry moved
this morning. To-day Gen. Kelly's COM
mand successfully attacked rebel force
that was moving towards Moorefield.
A general engagement is expected in a
day or two. There is much indication that
the rebels will attempt to flank Sheridan's
position at Cedar Creek. Early has gone
to Richmond.

A WILD NIGHT.-Old Boreas was on a
swell last night and took the city, tearing
through the streets with uproarious vio-
lence. The clouds could make no headway
against the wind, for no sooner would they
gather between the earth and the brilliant
full moon, than gust would scatter the
mass into fragments and chase them down
the horizon, leaving the sky unclouded for
a time, only to be again obscured by new
collection. Thus the night was alternately
one of darkness and brightness, but all the
time as boisterous and windy as ocean
wreckers could wish.
