BI~We had hoped that it would not
be necessary to say anything personally
OF sny of the candidates on the Demo.
cratic ticket but the course which some
OF them have seel fit to pursue in this
canvass, seems to require of US notice.
In thecase of the Sheriff for instance Mr.
klingler, the Democratic nominee, is a
citizen of our borough, and is a good
neighbor, and, SO far as we know, clev-
er citizen. But Notwithstanding this we
feel bound in justice to protest against
the unfair manner in which he is labor.
ing to impress the people that his com.
petitor-Mr. Jas. b. Story-is not fit for
the position, being "but boy" as it is
alleged. We don't believe that this course
of electioneering is likely to injure Mr..
s. Still it is unfair The facts Of the
case are, Mr. Story was old enough to
enter the tervice of his country in July,
1861, and to serve it faithfully till in
June, 1864. He lost an arm in front of
Petersburg, at the same time receiving
severe wound in the side by musket
ball having suffered the hardships of
Grants campaign of that Summer. Af-
ter his discharge he attended Mercantile
College, where he fully fitted himself for
any business, which he may choose to
follow. 1t is worthy Of note that, while
he was shedding his blood and risking his
life for his country in 1864, his compe-
titor saw fit to turn his back on the Re
publican party, to which he formerly be-
longed, and to join the Copperheads in
demanding n cessation of hostilities, and
in supporting Mcclellan and Pendletou
for President and Vice President We
make these statements in the interest of
justice and fair dealing. We have no
objection to Mr.. Klingler ralying his
friends and urging his extreme fitness
for the position to which he aspires; but
We do object to his presenting his
opponent, whose sense of proPriety and
honor would forbid him to urge his own
qualifications or fitness, much less to say
word of disparagement as to his oppo-
nent's fitness or otherwise. Mr.. King
Ter having voluntarily left the Repubfi-
can party when it needed friends, has in
orr judgment, no claims now upon its
sympathy or support That Mr.. Story
will be elected, there is no doubt that
he will make most acceptable officer,
is equally certain.

Major g neral Com

D3y"A great effort has been made by
His Excellency, the President, to have
Gen. Grant committed to his theory of
reconstruction, but as yet all his efTjrts
have failed. At "a select dinner given to
the President an suite at New York,
Grant was called on for a speech, to whicl,
he responded as follows:
"Gmtemen All | can say is, if the
President aud his Cabinet had kept their
resolution, made in secret session, to leave
the Admiral and myself to do. all the
talking, we would have let you off to go
to an cary bed applause aul laugh
ter.)
lie was again called out through the
course of the evenin e, to which call he
made the following reply, the allusion in
the second speech is made to the one Just
given. The second speech is as follows !:
"Gentlemen--I am so exhausted by
the eloquence drawn from IN. this even
ing by your Mayor, that it is impossible
for me to address you any further"
They can't dragoon Grant into cru
sade on the people.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Aug. 4. 1866.
To Aoy. Gen. Sheridan, Nep Orieaas ::
We have been advised here that prior
to the assembling Of the illegal and ex-
tinct Convention elected in 1861, infam-
matory and insurrectionary speeches were
made to a mob composed of white and
colored persons, urging upon them to arm
and equip themselves for the purpose of
protecting aud sustaining the Conven-
ton, in its illegal aud unauthorized pro-
ceedings, intended and calculated TO up
turn and supercede the existing State
Government Of Louisiana, which had
been recognized by tn. Government of
the United States? Further, did the
mob assemble aud wa it armed for the
purpose of sustaining the Cony ention in
its usurpation and revolutionary proceed
ings; have any arms been taken from
persons since the 30th ult., who were
supposed or known to be connected with
this mob? Have not various individuals
been assaulted and shot by persons con-
nected with this mob, without good cause
and in violation Of the public peace and
good order? Was not the assemblage Of
this Convention and the gathering of the
mob for its defenseand protection main
cause of the riotous and unlawful pro-
ceedings of the civil authorities of New
Orleans? Have steps been taken by the
civil authorities to arrest aud try any of
those who were engaged in this riot, and
those who have committed offenses in vi
olation of law? Can ample justice be
metcd by the civil authorities to all Of
tenders against the law2 Will General
Sheridan please furnish me brief reply
to the above inquiries, with such other
information as he may be in possession off
Please answer my telegraph at your ear
liest convenience.

The President ON the stump

Arrangements having been made for
the laying of the cornerstone of the
Douglass monument at Chicago, on the
4th of July last, the President was in
vited to be present That functionary,
however, having even maturedhis plans
for the betrayal of the Republican par.
ty, determined II possible, to have the
time changed to suit himself, which he
succeeded in doing. .t
Now that the fall campaignis fairly open
ed, he signiiied his willingness to make
his trip to Chicago. Accordingly, he
takes with him Gen. Grant, Admiral Far
ragut, the Russian and Mexican Minis,
ters, with quite number Of lesser lights,
besides the Secretary of State aud of the
Navy. With this suite he starts on his
pilgrimage, visiting every place possib e.
He knew that the names of Grant and
Farragut would bring out the epeople and
then he and Seward would embrace the
opportunity to denouuce the Republican
as disunion organization, and repeat the
oft repeated story of "My Policy" The
President was evidently in bad humor
in Philadelphia, because he was not ta-
ken charge of by the city authorities, as
their guest. He expressed great sympa-
thy for large portion of the citizens of
our State who were ruled, as he assumed,
with rod of iron. He also pitched in
to the Union League, with ven.
geance, seemed to think they had better
join ms party. OF course it was all prop
er and right, since the President has un.
dertaken the task of ''re Cancellation"
that he should "Larup" the League. Its
devotion to the cause of the Union dur
ing the great struggle through which we
have passed, had made it very abnexious
to all sympathizers with rebellion-t the
Presidents present body guard. If he
was not well received in Philadelphia.
however, he had it all his own way in
New York. Mayor Hoffman and city
authorities generally were on hands. OF
course candy" would noi let such an op-
portunity pass to abuse the radicals
From New York he went to Albany. and
then elsewhere. We are not apprehen-
siye of the effect of this Presidential trip
on the fall campaign. 1t is worthy of
remark, that all effort to draw out either
Grant or Farragut in favor of "my poll
cy" has failed. These distinguished sol.
dlers are determined not to allow them
selves to be drawn into any Endorsement
of policy they must detest.
Let the President make his grand round
from one end of the "circlc" to the other
Let him tell his anvil story, repeat the
story of his successful public life, from
Alderman to President He need not
mention that he owes his last elevation to
j. Wilkes Booth, the people will recall
that fact themselves.

p6~ During the sess ion of the Phila.
sdelphia Convention, dispatch was read
by Senator Doolittle cling the sue
cess of the johnson candidate for Cong
ress in Colorado. This dispatch turned
out to be untrue as the later news show
ed. A the same time there were in the
possession of the Government important
dispatches in reference to the political
situation at New Orleans. A convention
called by proper authority had been bru-
tally assailed, its leading members butcH-
cred, from thirty to forty persons muir
dered, aud over one hundred and fifty
wounded, and all this, as has been seen al
ready under the influence of the presi-
dent. But these dispatches would have
fallen like wet blanket over the procee.
dlngs of that patriotic "a conclave.-
Through the influence of Gen Grant,
most of these dispatches ha We finally been
given to the public. The following
however, has not been among those that
came through the War Department, but
copy has been forwarded from New Or
leans. 1t is significant. ai

Hard on the Democrats.

The N. Y. Times is hard on the De.
mocrats. 1t doss not spare them, but
with taunting air tells them plainly
that their party has been dismissed and
they swallowed up in the new concern
whereof Mr.. Weed is chief engineer.
The taunt of the Times, speaking Of
the Philadelphia Convention, is" It is
a movement to give effect to the princi-
pies for which the Union party, as organ
ised at Baltimore, contended successfully.
According to this, the Democrati, par.
ty has ceased to exist, its principles as
we'll as its organization have been aband.
oned, and together have been hitched to
the tail of Mr.. Weeds kite. As Mr.. Lin
coin once said Of certain individuals, il
they can stand it, We can.
