CoLoNIzING REBELS IN PHILADELPHIA
The Philadelphia Bulletin of Saturday says /:
This morning about four O'Clock, Sergeant
Neif arrested man who was prowling about
IN the neighborhood Of Seventh and Shippen
streets. The prisoner was clad in the garb of
a soldier, and gave his name as Sam. Miller.
1t was ascertained that he belonged to
Loudon county, Virginia, and he was one of
a consignment of six men sent here to vote
for Clymer. He says he was put on the cars
and his fare paid to this city. Who he was
sent to he could nottell, as one of his com
panioAs had the directions. He was one of
ofonewah Jackson's men, and was wounded
IN the leg during the war. He was locked nm
at the Second District Police Station. The
Democrats are getting desperate and there are
doubtless other individuals of this stamn
about the city, brought here to vote the Con.
peri Johnson ticket. !"

Louis special of yesterday says: The
Southern Loyalists prepared an address this
morning to the people of the United States,
before leaving Springfield They urge the
people to insist, in behalf of the true loyalists
on still further conditions precedent to the
admission ofthe rebel States than those emu
meratcd in the Constitutional Amendments
because the present State governments of
the South are not legal bodies, and therefore
cannot legally ratify the amendment. They
plead that the people insist that their rep

clare that the present State organizations in
the South illegal, and proceed TO organize
governments based upon the principle Of
impartial loyal suffrage.

The Committee consists of Colonel Moss

THE LESSON.

The result of the elections in Pennsylva-
MIA, Obiu, Indana, and Iowa should be
carefully studied BY ambitious mcn there
from they may learn most important and
significant lesson The overwhelming vic
tory to the Union cause not only indicates
that the American people are determined
that Loyal men shall rule the country but
that it is measures, ideas, principles, and
not mere men for which they vote. This IS
by far the most cheering evidence we haze
yet had of the perfect confidence with which
we may rely on the intelligence and patriot
ism of the peoplein great emergencies. Ap-
peals to prejudice and passion can no longer
carry their suffrages Intelligent discussion
and sound reason are the only means of IN
hueneing the votes of an educated people.
The educated mind Of the American peo-
people ignoring the behests Of blind preju-
dice demands the enactment of laws secu-
ring the greatest freedom to the citizen con-
sistent with law and order, and the admins
tration Of the laws in accordance with
the spirit of our free institutions. The de-
fection of the ablest men, or the most dis
tinguished leaders, the influence of govern
mental patronage, the allurements OF ofh-
ciaI position, have all been powerless to
swerve the people from their great purpose,
An accidental President may betray, an un-
scrupulous administration may attempt
wholesale bribery, men of brightest intellect,
who have been leaders, may falter and sink
beneath the Lethean waves of conservatism,
but the people undismayed by treason, I'M
corrupted by bribery, unfaltering at the de-
fection of leaders, press forward with a
steady pace, toward that purer political faith
which shall eventually extend the blessings of
liberty to the whole human race, strong in
their sense of duty, firm in their convictions
of right and with an abiding faith in the
righteousness Of their cause.

THE LEDGER" CANARD.

The despatch to the Philadelphia ''Ledg-
e" withregard to questions submitted to the
Attorney General by the President concern
ing the legality of the existing Congress
seems to have been totally unfounded, and
is so declared by the Ledqer itself We
expected as much, however, whether the
despatch were true or not The conduct
and speeches of the President, for some
months past, fully justified the readiness
with which the report was believed, and the
consequent uprising wherever the news was
heard prior to It's contradiction warns An
drew johnson Of the storm that he would
arouse by any such revolutionary step.
We are by no means sure that the despatch,
instead of being bogus, was not thrown out
through irresponsible parties as feeler of
the public pulse. IF so Andy johnson has
now bad fair notice of the ropes end
in store for him if he undertakes the role of
Dictator.

PHILADELPHIA, October I2-Hundreds
of private dispatches were received yesterday
at the Ledger Office from all parts Of the
country inquiring in regard TO the truth Of
the special published in the morning. The
Associated Press, in the afternoon, sent a
denial from Washington.
Notwithstanding this denial, which you
viii notice is carefully worded, | have
reason to know that the Ledger correspon-
dent still insists that his dispatch is true in
every line. lie is cautious writer, and yet
he sent a dispatch to Philadelphia yesterday
asserting that he was wiling to risk reputa-
ton and property upon the truth of the
story, and he added that the real secret Of
the excitement at the White House, and
the denial of the President and Attorney
General was that the questions were made
public too soon; and as the object in view
was thereby defeated, it was deemed best to
deny the story entirely. / think in day OF

The Proposed Impeachment OF the

We take the following from the Washing

The Cleveland speech Of General Butler,

The question Of impeachment begins to as
sumo form and force. Doubtless to the in
mate of the White House the feeling is, take
ANY shape but that. The kitchen cabinet
and the court organs here imply in no very
doubtful phrase, that should the attempt be
made, resistance win be the result The
President will plant himsefupon the assump-
tons which he for months past has argued.

Past and Present.

The British Foreign Secretary Lord
Stanley, upon recently assuming Office in
the Ministry, said that the principal object
of British diplomacy in these days was to
maintain a good understanding with the
United States. Prince Gortschakof, the
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs said In
his late speech at ST. Petersburg that, in
his official position ''all his anxieties were
about the consolidation Of friendly relations
between Russia and the United States. The
French Government has not expressed itself
quite as explicitly as these other two Gov.
ernments; but, in his announcement Of the
withdrawal Of his troops from Mexico,
Napoleon referred to his action as an earnest
OF his desire to maintain amicable relations
with the United States Uuder these cir
it should not be very hard for
us henceforth to keep the peace with the
nations Of Europe. But by what skill and
genius the Administration managed TO
maintain the peace with all foreign powers
when the conduct and language of so many
OF them were of an entirely opposite charac-
ter from what they are at present, viii only
be known to the reader of history and the
student in the archives of the Department

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.
The Philadelphia Ledger has received the
following important dispatches
WASHINGTON, October 10.
The President has Just sent in to the At.or-
ney General the following questions and re-
quested that response to them be returned
in writing;
lst. Is the present Congress composed of
members from Northern States alone such a
congress as the Constitution requires, or is it
an lllegal and unconstitutional assemblage
"a. Would existing circumstances Justify
the President in sending his next annual mes
sage to an illegal and unconstitutional assem-
5lage pretending to be the Congress of the
United States
Sd. Does that clause in section fifth of the
hrsi article of the Constitution, which makes
each House the Judge of the election returns
ana qualifications OF its own members. give
to the present Congress the right to exclude
the members from ten States, or to impose
dishonorable or unconstitutional terms ON
their admission
4th. Does the Presidents oath of Office re-
quire hlm 20 enforce these provisions of the
Constitution which give to each State an eoual
"a A~SCAAbeAblOh III congress Article
lst, section sd, section Sd, article 5th, last
clause
9TH What steps does the Constitution and
his oath OF office require the President to
take IN order to secure the assemblage of n
Constitutional Congress
Upon the reply that may be made by the
Attorney General to the above, the President.
there is reason to believe, is determined to
take his stand. The questions put to the At
torney General are all the more important
when taken in connection with the bold utter
ances of the President at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, declaring the present was only an as
sumed Congress and not the Congress the
Constitution called for, and also similar dee.
larations, though less pointed, that fell from
his lips prior to his return to the capital.
From these utterances it is clear the Exec
1tiye has fully made up his own mind that
the AXAlAth Congress was not alegal body.
lie now asks the opinion of the ATTORNEY
General upon this grave and deeply momen
tous subject and when it is given he will gov
ern himself accordingly. It is not difficult to
iioIeshadow what the response of Mr.. Stans
berry will be. That he will chime in fully
with the opinions of the Executive as already
expressed there seems to be no doubt.

TEN CENT JIMMY REDIvIvUS,

Copperhead hostility, to liberal wages to
the workingman, good prices for the farmer
and manufacturer, and the general prosper
ity of the country crops out in the Neo
York Ecpress in the following style
1.-THE elections in Pennsylvania, and in
Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa would seem to have
resulted pretty much as they did two years
ago-with no considerable gain to the Demo-
Gratis. This was as anticipated in the Ex
press. New York, and the country gener-
ally, pay Pennsylvania eight or ten dollars
bounty on every ton Of railroad iron, the like
on steel, something on coai-now, that the
Reciprocity Treaty is abolished-and these
bounties have been too strong for principles.
To the grazing regions of Ohio, Indiana, and
Iowa, we of the seaboard pay, from 40 to 60
cents Tor butter, a ike proportion for cheese,
and ike for beef,-and hence, with such
paper prices ruling over US, any great chan
ges in politics are scarcely to be hoped fer"
Ten cents day for the laboring man was
the doctrine preached long ago by James
buchanan at the dictation of Southern pol
iticians in order TO crush the free white
possible. Copperheadism has the same
aims to-day and the ErpreSs in the above
extract plainly declares that there is no hope
for the resurrection of its party while the
country is prosperous and liberal wages arc
paid to willing laborers. Hard times, the
oppression of the poor and the general
prostration of business have always char
acterized the rule of that party, and now it
sees no hope unless it can once more pros
trate our industry and make labor so scarce
that the laborer viii be compelled to work
for ten cents day or starve. From pres
ent appearances the advent of this much
loneed for copperhead millennium seems
likely to be indefinitely postponed.
