OUR IMRRoGLIo.

The Radical Franchise Act is bearing
its fruits in this city. 1t has thrown our
Government into confusion, and where
and when it is to end no man can tell.
There is one aspect of the affair that is
not little remarkable. Defeated aspi.
rants are attempting to defeat the will OF
the people, and will succeed in butting
their brains out against it. What if the
successful candidates did not file their
oaths at the proper time, and in the pro-
per place Did the defeated, smashed
up candidates file theirs2 If they had
been elected, would they not now
be fddling on a different string ?
The Legislature, when it meets, may do
something to relieve us from this out
rageous state of things. They may order
another election, and we trust they will
They may, however, pass an act legal
izing the late election. AS matters now
stand, the interests of the city are in
jeopardy. Our credit will suffer, our en-
ergies relax, and public enterprises Ian
guish.

Penian Observation-Disclosures
Retaliation If Colonel Lynch
is Hung

The Erening Express says: This
morning the ordinary interest in the
proceedings Of the Fenian trials in Can
ada was increased by the news that one
Of the alleged officers Of Gen. ONeirs
brigade, Col Lynch, was sentenced to
be hung in December next, for an
assumed participation in the invasion Of
the frontier. The report soon became
the principal topic of conversation in
the city. Ali classes seemed to condemn
the severity Of the sentence as unneces-
sary and imprudent
The course of the Canadians during
the late war also called forth very I'M
favorable criticism in connection with
the sentence Of Col Lynch
Owing to the news the headquarters Of
Col. Roberts presented an unusually aui-
mated scene This afternoon two of the
leading generals were present in the war
department of the building, aud soon af
ter their arrival they were besieged by
Fenians, who anxiously inquired what
would be done to prevent the execution
of the death penalty or secure retribu-
ton for the action of the Canadian court.
In answer TO the parties, one Of the gen.
erals replied that if Lynch was hung he
would engage to capture and execute
twelve Canadians TO ayenge the deed
Should other prisoners share the same
fate, he said, their deaths would be
avenged in the same way. Another Fe.
MAN general, referring to the sentence,
said he had paroled forty Canadians
whom he had captured, and provided
them with a safe escort beyond the Fe-
MAN lines. If they hung Lynch, he re-
marked, it would only have the effect Of
expediting another invasion Of Canada
1t is believed that President Roberts will
take some action on the subject.

HOW 1T STANDS.

A Cincinnati paper says: THE Rad
icals in Ohio elect sixteen Congressman,
on a total vote in the State of 275,000.
Their opponents elect but three mem
bers, with total vote of 1850 1t
takes, therefore, under the rascally dis
trict apportionment of the Radicals in
Ohio, $4,000 votes to elect an anti-Radi-
cal member, while 1900 votes are all
that is required to choose Jacobin !
With a fair apportionment we are enti-
tied to eight of the nineteen members
from the State"

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Miss Fan

State, died this morning.
The Sub Committee appointed by the
Tammany Hall General Committee to
call on the President with view of OBJ
tanning Executive interference in the
case of American citizens condemned to
death at Toronto, had an interview this
morning In response to the address of
their chairman, the President said he had
anticipated their resolutions and memo
rails, as would be perceived by copy of
the correspondence in relation to the
subject published this morning. He ex-
pressed his sympathy with their mission
The interview was very satisfactory to
the committee.

one dead, with his brains oosing out,
and the other in a dying condition, cry
ing for help. Several of the mob were
wounded, but l believe slightly, save
Joseph Benner, who was shot through
the body, and it is supposed his wound
will prove fatal.
The two policemen, Gaul and Sands,
served in the United States army with
great distinction, and were honorably
discharged at the expiration of the war
The mob are openly rejoicing over what
they have done, the authorities paying no
attention whatever to them; the Mayor
being perfectly helpless-the majority Of
the council being opposed to him and
will not sanction anything he does. The
Judge of the court, State Attorney and
Sheriff being all Radicals, we expect, as
on former occasions, that no arrests will
be made.

WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION.

WHEELING, w. v, October 26.-The
State election yesterday passed of quietly
and resulted, as was expected, in the re-
election of Gov Boreman by a slightly
increased majority.
At the election held May oath. 1866,
the following amendment to the Consti-
tuition of West Virginia was submitted
for adoption or rejection
No person who, since the first day OF
June, 1861, has given or shall give vol
untary aid or assistance TO the rebellion
against the United States, shall be cit
izen Of this State, or be allowed to vote
al any election held therein, unless he
has volunteered into the military or naval
service of the United States, and has
been or shall be honorsbly discharged
therefrom
The vote polled was as follows: For
ratification, %, l57; for rejection, Is, 92li
whole vote cast, 39,07S; Radical major
ity, 1896. This UNANIMOUSLY sweeping
disfranchisement was justified on the
express ground Of retaliation for the fol-
lowing exceedingly rigid act Of disfran-
chisement and attainder against the
Union men Of the State, which was
passed by the Confederate Congress in
1861.
Be 10 enacted, That any citizen hold
ing Office under the government Of the
United States after the 3lst Of July, 1861,
shall be forever banished from the State,
and be declared an alien enemy; and
that any citizen of Virginia hereafter
undertaking TO represent the State OF
Virginia in the Congress Of the United
States, shall, in addition to the above
penalties, be considered guilty Of trea-
son, and his property be liable to eonfs-
cation.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

In another place will be found an &C
count of the doings of Radical mob in
Hagerstown 1t is fearful to reflect upon
what similar scenes may lead to-
1t is very clear that the Radi-
zeal masses are thoroughly ripe for
bloodshed. They have become so &C.
customed to hear denunciations of the
President, that going to Washington and
and kicking him out of the White House
would seem to be mere frolic 1t would
prove fatal mistake to try it.

Baltimore Gszette.l
Our town is at present the scene Of
great excitement The Radicals are now
holding large mass meeting, having
gathered together all the roughs from our
own and also from the adjoining counties
Of Pennsylvania, with the full determin-
alton Of cleaning out the Conservatives
in this portion Of the State. Two police
men, Mr. Charles Gaul and Robert Sands
in attempting to quell a disturbance,
were set upon by the mob and driven
with stones some distance, when Gaul
turned and fired, checking the crowd for
a short time, but Immediately upon the
engine bell being sounded precon-
certed signal for them to rush to arms
the streets were soon filed with armed
men rushing towards the scene.
Gaul and Sands having taken refuge
in a saloon kept by a Conservative Of
this place, q returned United States SOL
der and a man of sterling qualities, the
house was soon besieged by the mob,
who Immediately opened FIRE, whereupon
policeman Gaul fred from the window Of
the second story in order to check the
mob, so that the few persons from the
inside could make their escape, and hav-
ing exposed himself too much, was shot
through the head by mimic ball, and
fell from the window to the pavement
The mob Immediately rushed into the
house in a wild scene Of confusion, tear
ing everything within to pieces Police
man Sands, in attempting to make his
escape from the house, was stabbed in
the right lung, and, after falling. was
beaten terribly by the mob. he Is still
living, but his wound pronounced fatal.
The mob then cut down the johnson
pole that stood near the saloon, with the
stars and stripes floating from 1t, the
bodies Of the two policemen still lying on
the pavement, unheeded By the mob, tbs

Southern currency-Important Decision

New York, October 26.-Before Judge

three cases were tried against the Bank
of the State of Sou tn Carolina, located
in Charleston, S. c., which we're of vital
importance to owners of Southern bank
bills, many of which have been hitherto
supposed to be valueless The plaintiffs
are owners of bank notes issued before
and during the rebellion, amounting to
So, 900. The defense set up that the
bills were void, having been issued by
the bank during the rebellion, and on the
support OF the rebellion in violation OF
public policy. The Judge overruled the
defense and gave Judgment for full
