The Canvass in Delaware.

The political canvass in the little State of
Delaware is one of unusual interest, and
the Union men are making a noble fight
They seem to feel that if they win, new
career will be opened to the State. which,
strange to say, retains upon its statute
books provisions and inequalities of which
modern South Carolina would be ashamed.
Complete victory on the 9th of November
would give them the Governor, the Repre-
sentative in Congress, and the Legislature
The Legislature, in their hands. would re-
peal the wretched laws that disgrace the
State and even the Copperheads that live
by them, give them one, and eventually
two Republican Senator'S These are stakes
well worth fighting for, and we are not sur
prised that they have called forth all the
active and gifted Unionists of the little
Commonwealth. Among the active can
vassers we see the name of our townsman
II. Bucher Swoope, Esq, whose efforts are
referred to in the most fattering terms by
the Wilmington Commercial and other u
MON papers of the State, and it is still
higher compliment to see that he is announ-
ced to address number of meetings be-
tween now and the election on next Tuesday.

Riot at Hagerstown, Maryland.

On the 18th of October, the Uncondi-
tional Union men of MARYLAND held meet
ing at Hagerstown, which is represented as
the largest political assemblage that has
ever been held in. that place. The process
sion was over five miles long, and the best
of feeling prevailed, until some time in the
afternoon, when an alteration occurred at
Stanhopc's hotel between Chas. Gall and
Robert Sands, special policemen, and
few Union men. Mayor Biersling himself
was present with revolver in his pocket.
The Mayor is a Rebel. sympathizer and was
elected by unregistered, or Rebel voters, and
the special police he appointed on his
own responsibility, and as the Union Board
of Councilmen refused to make any appro-
priation for their payment, the funds TO de-
fray the expense were advanced by wealthy
Rebel citizens, trusting that they may be
reimbursed hereafter. Threats and chal-
lenges to fight were made, and finally, after
the parties had got into the street, Gall and
Sands drew their revolvers and fired, appar-
emily at random, into the crowd. A BY
stander, Joseph Benner, who is ianitor of
the Court House, was shot through the liver
The special policemen and their friends fell
back, firing as they retreated, and finally
took refuge in house OF i'll repute on the
corner of Jonathan and Church streets kept
by notorious backlog named James Kuhn,
who formerly belonged to the special police
himself This house has for long time
been the headquarters of all the edesperadoes
Of the place, and favorite haunt of the
special police and in it number of mus
kets and carbines had been collected and
were kept ready loaded for any emergency
The police at once opened destructive fire
from the door and windows, wounding many
of the assailauts. In the meantime some
of the Boys in Blue had procured fire.
arms, and as Charles Gall was firing from a
second d-story window, he was struck in the
head By a rifle ball and fell head long upon
the pavement. A rush was then made upon
the house. and, to use slang phraze, was
completely ''gutted" The inmates made
their escape, with the exception of Robert
Sands, who was dragged forth, cruelty bea-
ten, and then stabbed, it is thought fatally.
Not window or door was left in the house,
and the furniture, stock of liquors, and gam
bling implements were thrown into the
streets. This ended the riot A correspon-
dent of the Baltimore american says 'sit is
clearly established by good testimony that
the business was premeditated by the John
son men, and all accounts seem to agree
that the disturbance was caused by the
policemen who afterwards Jared so badly.

The United States and Mexico.

Below will be found an order from Gen
eral Sheridan, commanding the Department
of the Gulf in which more decided ground
is taken in favor of the Liberal or Jaurez
party than any similar official document had
done before, and is regarded as an lndlca-
ton of the policy our own Government has
resolved on pursuing in reference TO Mexl-
ican affairs. simultaneously with the ap-
pearance of this important order, the Gable
brings the announcement that the Emperor
Maximilian will probably return to Europe
in the frigate that was recently despatched
from Trieste by the Austrian Emperor, and
that twenty war steamers will leave France
for Mexico in November TO bring home
the entire French force now in that country
HID. Q'Rs. DEPT OF THE GULF,
n. O., La, Oct. %, 1866.
General | am satisfied that there Is on
ly one way in which the state of affairs on
the Rio Grande can be bettered, and that is
by giving the heartiest support to the
only government in Mexico recognized by
our own-the only one which is really friend
ly to u.s. You will therefore, warn adhe-
iSuts VI any party VI piclSiirM,0u w. CiHineHo
in Mexico, or the State of Tamaulipas, that
they will not be permitted to violate the
neutrality laws between the Liberal Govern
ment of Mexico and the United States; and
also that they will not be permitted to re-
main in our territory and receive the pro-
lection of our flag in order TO complete their
Vaccinations for the violation of our neu-
trality laws. These instructions viii be en-
forced against the adherenls of the Imperial
buccaneer representing the so-called Impe-
rial Government of Mexico, and also against
the Ortega, Santa Anna and other factions
President Jaurez is the acknowledged head
of the Liberal Government of Mexico.

The Senatorial Trio from Vermont.

For the first time in the history of our
country, Legislature of State has been
called upon to elect three United States
Senators on the same day Last winter the
Green Mountain State lost both her faith
iul members Of the upper House The
Hon. Solomon Foot, President of the SEN
ate, died suddenly at the capital, and within
a month his colleague, Hon. Jacob Collamer,
followed in his footsteps As the term of
Mr.. Collamer would have expired on the
4th of March, 1867, it devolved On the Leg
lslature to elect his successor to fill the va
cancy occasioned by his death, and also that
caused by Mr. Foot's decease. This duty
was performed on the 23d Hon. L. P. Po-
land was chosen to act during the ensuing
session. Mr.. Poland was appointed by the
Governor to fill the vacancy, and did his
duty faithfully during the stormy sessions of
last winter He is hardly as radical as
many would desire, yet it is well to have the
zeal of many tempered by wisdom and dis
cretion. Hon. George T. Edmunds was
elected to serve until March, 1863 He is
the present incumbent, and has also demon
strated his fitness for the position. He was
also the selection made by Governor Dilling
ham. But the best choice made, and the
one most calculated to cause satisfaction
over the entire North, is that Of Hon. j.
5. Morrill, for the full term from March,
1867. Mr.. Morrill, has been for many years
in the House, having been, we believe, re-
elected FIVE times. He has been member
of the Committee on Ways and Means since
his entrance on public life, and at the com
mencement of the last session. on the retire
ment of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens from that
Committee, became its chairman As an
occupant of that important position, he
proved himself an able statistician, an eff
cient fnancier, and most valuable public
servant

REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN WEST VIRGIN
A.-The election ia West Virginia has been
again carried unmistakably for the Union,
as maintained by loyal Congress. The
majority is considerably in excess of that on
the vote to amend the State Constitution
last May. The Hon. Arther j. Boreman is
again chosen Governor, and Chester D.
Hubbard, the Congressman who refused his
increase of salary, is reelected to Congress
from the lst District, while there is every
probability that Messrs. B. FL. Kitchen and
Daniel Polsey have been chosen in the
others. We have thus ended the eighth
political lesson since the 1st of September.
and there are many more to come which
wise ruler should heed

THE CATHOLICS ANDTHE BLACK RACE
At the recent Plenary Council at Baltimore,
one of the principal subjects for discussion
was the status of the black race in the
States, and in the church. 1t was the uni
form opinion of the Southern bishops that
here was very wide field for missionary eff
fort, and that the church would be justified
in liberal expenditure of men and money
in gathering the scattering sheep into the
Catholic fold. 1t was also agreed that there
should be entire liberty of political opinion
among clerical and lay members of the
church, permission which will greatly in
ure to the cause of freedom

The Fenian Trials.

The trial of the Fenian invasionists of
Canada was commenced on the 18th of Oct
at Toronto, Canada West Colonel Lynch
and Rev. John Nj Mahon were the first
tried. Both were convicted and sentenced
to be hanged on the 9th of December
The defence of NJ Mahon is that he was on
his way to Montreal on private business
when, owing to his character as Catholic
priest, he was impressed into the service of
the wounded and dying. If this is the case,
his sentence, if carried into effect, will ap-
pear keimpolitic and wanton severity. On
the receipt of the news of Col. Lynch con-
viction in New York city, much excitement
prevailed among the Fenians and meetings
were held with view of soliciting the in
terposition of our Government to prevent
his execution. The trials are still progress
ing.

=, FIGHT WITH INDIANs.-The Indians in
Colorado are again on the war-path. A
dispatch from Julesburg, dated Oct. oath.
states that they drove many herd of stock.
killed several of the nieht-herders. and
wounded number of others. Two com
panles of cavalry were at once sent against
them from Julesburg, who killed and wound-
ed number of them, and captured all their
poneys, wigwams, and arms. Further
troubles are expected. The feeling in the
Territories against the Indians is very bit
ter, and they will have to pay dearly for
every outrage committed by them.
