The Cr,icago Plot.

THE Chicago electioneering plot turns out
to be just what every man of sound sense
knew it would turn out to be-a miserable
humbug. The reports OF the discovery
of arms and the detection of scheme to
release the rebel prisoners at Camp Doug
las, by rebels who invaded the State for the
purpose, were all gotten up by the Chicago
Abolitionists to affect the election. The
arms discovered were parcel of old mill
tia guns, which had been in the possession
of the man arrested as conspirator, for
years, piled up in an clubhouse. neglected
and forgotten. The invaders who were
to use these formidable old muskets with
out locks or stocks, did not appear at
the given time, but crowd of Abolition
ballot-box suffers and FOUNDERS appeared
at the city hotels the day before the cleo
ton, proclainiea themselves butternuts,"
and ostentatiously declared their intention
to do all manner of incendiary and treason
able things. Long JOHN WENTWORTH, a
professional political trickster and dema-
gogue, was one of the chief instigators Of
this ridiculous plot-which was only infa-
nous in that 1t was deliberate attempt to
impose upon the superabundant credulity
of old granny Abolitionists, and fill the
country with unnecessary alarm.

The Print Florida.

The capture of the rebel pirate Florida.
in Brazilian port, by United States frig-
ate-in regard to which we publish, in this
days paper, all the information we have
reecived-opens up question in regard t.
the maritime rights of neutral government:
and ports. Whether Captain COLLINS had
the right or not, to run into neutral port
and destroy an enemy's vessel, there is NO
conflict of authorities. He had no such
right. But the character of the vessel he
assailed, being an outlaw upon the high seas.
will doubtless go far towards eXtenuating
the fault of the American officer with his
own government and people, although it
will be no balm to the wounded pride OF
the Brazilian government, if it has been
wounded. The case will afford the prolific

be more credit and little peril to himself
which is the sum and substance of his dip
lomacy. The Cabinet minister who, for the
first year of the war, refused to concede bel
ligerent rights to the rebels, in spite of all
the advice of European statesmen-who
saw plainly enough that unless the rebels
were acknowledged as belligerents the Uni
ted States would become responsible for the
damages inflicted on foreign commerce by
rebel pirates-the Secretary of State who
thus braved the ridicule of Europe and
flew into the face of two hundred years of
law and precedent, is just the man to man
age diplomatic cont versy with Brazil
to his own satisfaction, not to the credit
of his Government.

The Abolition correspondents at WASH
ington, with the characteristic cimpertinence
of their tribe, poking their noses into the
War Department to scent out some new
slur upon McCLELLAN, have announced by
telegraph that Gen. MCCLELLAN has ten
dered his resignation. We did not credit
this story when it was first broached, and
we have less reason to believe it now. Nc
CLELLAN is the senior Major-General of
the army--he has done nothing to forfeit
his rank, and would only confirm the SLAM
ders of his enemies by resigning now. He
might possibly have resigned when nomi-
mated for the Presidency by one half of his
fellow citizens; but had he done SO the Abo-
litionists would have made as much fuss
and abused him as outrageously as they did
because he refused to resign. The Admin
istration has abused MCCLELLAN, attempted
to ostracise him, betrayed him and his army,
and heaped outrage upon insult upon him
but this Is not Nc CIELLAN's fault, and he
is not the party to be ashamed of such
meanness. The Abolitionists, conscious
of their villainous crimes against
MCCLELLAN would rejoice to get rid of
him by his resignation but we trust he
will not so far crafty them. They dare
not court-martial him, for they know he
has committed 10 offense; they dare not
give him command, for his abilities would
speedily seal the lips of his slanderers. The
only alternative left then is to have LIN
COLIN arbitrarily dismiss hlm-an act of
perfidy. injustice, and indecency, such as
even LINCOLN shrinks from executing.

The State Journal yesterday contained q
prosy lecture to the minority defeated in
the late election, advising the members
thereof to ''stand from under" "keep quiet''
or do away with themselves. This advice
comes with good grace from an organ
printed in county giving thirteen hun
dred majority against the fanaticism advo-
Gated by that paper, and in city which
gives an emphatic majority of five hundred
against its teachings. If it is to become a
rule of this progressive reign that the mi
nority must make an exodus when defeated
in an election, we advise The Journal folks
to emigrate at once. They are in hope
less minority here; their room is valuable
and their presence is not.

The Editor of The journal Hnvol<-
ing Administration Vengeance
m inst ths, UDeuuOcFacy.

ing Administration Vengeance
I, against the Democracy.
THE Ohio State Journal of Thursday con-
tains an editorial article invoking "oUIET'
and threatening the Democracy. 1t insists
that opposition to the Administration shall
now cease; or If Democrats are unwilling
to keep "quiet," it tconsigns them to Canada,
Mexico, Europe, or the Southern Confeder-
acy-and in the event that they do not 20,
the Quartermaster's DoGBERRY expects Mr..
LINCOLN to ';set his foot doton strong, and re-
store quiet in the rear" In other words, he
expects the President to have Democrats
arrested and thrown into filthy dungeons,
if they shall dare to criticise hereafter the
acts of the Administration, or the acts of the
Federal officials or such of the State officials
as belong to the Republican party. Hcsug-
gesls that the Democrats may beable to "re-
store themselves to respectable standing as
citizens" That is decidedly cool, coming
as it does from Capt. HURTT's Journal The
Captain had better keep "quiet'' himself as
regards respectable standing!" The De-
mocracy want no suggestions through his
paper Of that sort.
The article in The Journal shows the ami
, mus of some of the Abolition leaders in this
city. They have been unable to answer
the arguments of Democratic editors and
Democratic speakers, and now they insist
that the President shall "quiet" them, by
quitting down his foot strong" 11
We tell DoGBERRY of The Journal, that
/ the men who wrote and spoke and voted
against ABRAHAM LINCOLN will neither
cease to criticise such acts of his Admins
! tration as they believe to be wrong, nor
emigrate to Canada, Mexico, Europe or the
Southern Confederacy. They are citizens
here, as true and devoted to the Union and
the Constitution as any who exercised the
right of suffrage on the Sth of November.
Their homes are here; their interests are
here; whatever of this worlds goods they
have is here; they cannot be driven away.
They intend to live here; they intend to die
here. Unawed by power and unintimidat-
ed by threats, they will go straight
forward in the path of duty,
turning neither to the right nor to the left.
They will stand by the Government and
will support it; they will obey the laws-as
it is the duty of all good citizens to do; but
they will insist on criticising the Adminis-
tration whenever it deserves to be criti-
cised, and opposing its ruinous measures
whenever opposition can be made effective.
The Jacobins, like DoGBERRY of The
Journal, may howl on; we shall pursue the
even tenor of our way. The President, we
hope, will have the good sense to act in the
spirit ofhi late midnight speech; he twill
not impugn the motives of those who op-
pose him." The million and half of white
men who voted for GEO. B. MCCLELLAN
may not be disregarded; their Rights will
be respected.

ssenernI Isutler in New York,


The lateness of the hour at which the
orderof General Butler reached us, on Sum
day night, precluded the consideration and
comment called for by q document so ex-
traordinary.
Quite irrespective, however, of the mat
ter and reasoning of the order, the appoint
ment of this man, at this time, to this SER
vice, is the most exasperating MENACE and
the most insolent INDIGNITY that could be
put upon this community. The man-we
need not characterize the man his antece-
dents speak for themselves. The time is
the eve of an election, when that act of
freeman which should, of all his acts. be the
freest, is ostentatiously confronted with an
array of military force in the most threat
ening and offensive form in which 1t could
be thrust into the presence of loyal citi-
zens. The service is to diffuse awe and ter
ror such as are felt in conquered city,
compelled to bow to the yoke of a master.
The obedience of free communities is a
voluntary submission to laws which them
selves have enacted. A military master
forced upon them from abroad is a mmili-
alton which transforms their citizens from
freemen to subjects. But when this mas
ter is made to stand in menacing surveillance
over the act of suffrage, freedom is Gefiled
in her sanctuary. 1t is the essence of free
neous choice of the people. But if the
rulers whom an election may displace, :
sumo armed superintendent of the ballot
boxes, it is the same as If a party on trial
in a court of justice were permitted to SUI
perintend the deliberations and control the
verdict of the jury.
General Butler states in language suffi-
GENTLY explicit, that his presence hereis due
to apprehended raids like the recent one at
st. Albans, and intimates that such appre-
tensions are the sole cause of his coming.
Why. then, it is fitting to ask, does he not
apply his caustic to the place of the gar =
CREME? Why come to this city to resist an
invasion expected on the Canada frontier /?
How are troops stationed about New York to
be Ofservice prepelling sudden onsetupon
Buffalo or Ogdensburg, places from three to
five hundred miles away? 1t strikes rea-
sonable men that New York city is sim
gularly ill-chosen position for defending
the Canada frontier from incursions, which,
if they occur at all, are likely to be as sud-
den and transient as the lightning, which
comes and vanishes ere we can say, it
lightens. This was the character of the st.
Albans raid, and General Butler tells us it
is the apprehension of raids like that which
has brought him to-New York!
This ill-fitting cloak is for this particular
season, of a somewhat gauze-like texture;
it reminds us that, according to nerable
book, the decencies of drapery were origin
ally the resort of lost innocence. The fig
leaf aprons were cover for conscious un-
cOmeliness-at once screen and confess

Butler in the Role Of Gold Bull.

1t was reported on the 'street" yesterday
| that General Butler had officially warned
two well known gold operators that they
must not speculate i'm the precious metal,
to the detriment of the Government credit.
The effect was to create panic, and gold,
which had been as low as 1887, run up to
1453ss, and was reported higher after regu-
lar business hours. If General Butler seri-
ouslY intends to take charge of the gold
room, and regulate its price, it needs 10
prophet to foretell the course of the market
He can keep putting it up by panic jumps,
but that is all he can do. When Congress
undertook to put down the price of gold by
legislation it produced violent fluctuations,
and the metal reached so high figure that
Congress was compelled to repeal all its
gold laws. When this was done the price
rapidly settled down in accordance with
the laws of trade, which regulate those
matters much better than congresses can.
1t is quite clear that if legislators, by fixed
laws, cannot keep down the price of gold,
irresponsible military dictators cannot. No
despot in Europe ever thinks of interfering
with financial operations, because, being
generally educated statesmen, they know
that it will not do. Our new rulers are
presumptuous enough, but are as ignorant
and as regardless of the laws of finance
as they are of their country. If Lincoln
is reelected and a military despotism is
established, let us hope that our new rulers
will read up their Adam Smiths and Ricar-
dos, and there learn that in paper money
times no human power can foretell or pro-
vide for the fluctuations in the price of gold. |

THE RUSSIAN PoLICE.-A letter from st. |
Petersburg in an English paper, mentions
an extraordinary affair which lately oc-
CURED in the town of Orel, in Russia. A |
great local land owner had a large sum |
(forty-three thousand silver roubles) to re-
ceive through the police Office of that town. |
On applying for the amount he was told |
that the money could not be handed over
to him unless he presented the office with |
five thousand silver roubles. He refused, |
and Immediately reported the case to St. |
Petersburg, and the money was paid over
to him. But on the evening of the same
day, as he was quietly smoking in his |
study, loud ring was heard at the bell. |
The servant on opening the door was in
stantly pinioned, and four men, their faces |
covered with black Grape, rushed into the |
room. The land owner asked them what |
they wanted. They plainly told him be |
must hand over his foIty-three thousand |
roubles. With the greatest coolness he |
went over to his strong box, opened it, |
seized a revolver, which was laid on the |
top shelf, and shot two of the robbers dead, |
the other two Immediately taking to their |
heels. He then sent for assistance, the po- |
lice, &C., and on the Grape being removed |
from the faces of the dead men, they were |
recognized as the head Of police and his |
secretary. Ee
