Telegraph to the Register

LONDON, OCTOBER 19.-The Times, in
a leading article, asserts that the Ital-
ian Prime Minister Ratazzi is pledged
to enter Rome as soon as the French
feet sails from the place held by the
the insurgents. 1t is not the sea port
Astea, but the town of Orte, on the IL
ber in the province of viterbo.
A Spanish frigate has sailed from Ca
diz for Cevitie Vecchia.a
LONDON, October ia steamship
from Melbourne arrived here to-day.
She brought FIVE hundred thousand
pounds sterling in gold.
The Fenian alarm does not abate.
Last evening it.was reported that efforts
were made by the Fenians to burn the
police station at Chester, and thus re-
lease some of their comrades who are
there confined. The fire, in every in
stance, was extinguished before any
damage was done. The Government is
on the alert, and precautions every
where have been taken to guard against
any surprise.
1t is understood that arrangement:
have been perfected whereby rates by
the Cable will be reduced fully so pei
cent. The reduction goes into effect on
the 18th of November.

An Army Of More than Five
Thousand OGice-HOlderS

Are consuming your substance, and host of
other hungry eXpectants are gathering like
vultures, to banquet upon the vitals of pros
trate State.
Your public buildings are sinking dollars by
the hundred thousand with no apparent result.
Your Lunatic Asylum has already cost SAC, 900,
a third more than the original estimate for the
whole, and the first wing is not yet completed.
At the present rate, more than one million of
dollars will be consumed in what is nothing less
than a stupendOus fraud, at which your puOliC
servants are COnniving
The Penitentiary was expected to be built for
sl6s 600, but through the incOmpetency that
planned il, nearly four times "a much material
will be required as was Original Y intended, and
the expense of the building will be little short
of one million dollars. Other operations of pub
lie men show a similar disregard of your inter
est. Many of them are mere schemes ofprivate
benefit and public robbery.
Not single Radical journal of the State has
uttered a word of denunCiatiOn of these or any
other public wrongs. To the REGISTER belongs
almost the exclusive honor of champiOning the
popular cause against the Outrages of official
plunderers. In pursuance of its purpose TO
hunt down corruption and cOrrUptiOnists, the
REGISTER will lay before the people many
startling facts cOncernu- the outlay of State
funds upon public works. The most enormous
frauds are known TO have koen perpetrat al, and
every taxpayer has an interest in their develop
ment. We call upon the people to second and
support us in our effort.

FLORENCE, October l5.-The latest
dispatch from the Roman territory de-
scribes the situation as more serious.
The GariOaldians are daily crossing :he
frontier and marching to points of rem
devious. Many of the inhabitants, and
others in the Roman territory, are join
ing the insurgents. The Garibaldians
have captured the town of Orte, fifteen
miles east eff Viterbo, on the right bank
of the TiOer, which gives them posses
sion of the railroad at that point, and
they have severed the communication
between Rome and Florence.
Reports from Papal sources at Rome
give accounts Of defeats of the insur-
gents 10y the Papal troops in the field.
The Italian press and people almost
unanimously clamor for the occupation
of Rome by the Italian government.
Victor Emanuefs officers continue to
arrest Garibaldians as they attempt to
cross the frontier.
Admiral Robatti, of the Italian navy
has mustered a Royal squadron of eight
iron-cladS, which he will take to Roman
waters.
PARIS, October lS.-Napoleon and his
Ministers complain that Victor Eman-
uels efforts to enforce the terms of the
September Convention, with respect to
invading the Papal territory, are not
effective. Fears are entertained that n
collision may take place between the
French and Italian forces which are
being despatched towards Rome.
LONDON, October Is, Evening.--It is
rerorted that revolution took place
i'll Rome last night, and that great ex-
element prevails ia Florence. Rumors
are also afloat that France and Italy in
tended to arrange for joint occupation
OF Rome.

there will be no changes made in the

saws they will be mistaken If they think
their Northern friends will sustain
them in such course, as the conven.
ton is a fixed fact. 1t is also certain
that the constitution that will be fran.

is the opinion of some of the wisest that

InyesIigntions-The Baltimore Riot
Mcclellan Sent For-ExtensiVS
whisky Frauds Discovered.


NEW YORK, October l9.-The Her
AIDS special says: The Barnum investi-
eating committee, after sitting for
three days at Falls village, has again
adjourned to future day not yet de-
termined upon. The evidence thus far,
while it shows clearly that money was
lavishly spent by those, it does not es-
tablish directly the charge of buying
voters made against W. H. Barnum;
while on the other hand it has been
sworn to by number Of witnesses that
p. T. Barnum's agents openly bought,
or attempted to buy, votes.
The Herald's special says: The Con-
gressiOnal Committee on Southern
Railroads have completed their exam
nation in Richmond, and leave to-day
for Charleston.
The Times special says: The report
that the Judiciary committee had finally
agreed to report in favor of impeach-
ment is untrue. They have had no
meeting Oh the subject.
4 full investigation of the riot in
Baltimore on Thursday night will show
that the colored men merely acted i'll
self defense. They were stoned, when
they returned the assault with shots,
one of which proved fatal.
The Tribune's special says: Judge
Lawrence, of the Judiciary committee,
AYERS the statement that the Judiciary
committee are in favor of impeachment
is true.
The Democrats have sent for McClel-
Ian to return to this cOHntry, and will
nominate him for President and another
ex.military man for Vice President.
The Worlds Washington special says {:
The Treasury Department officials are
on the track of some great whisky
frauds III New York and elsewhere, and
special agents are being employed to
work up the evidence. Great secrecy is
observed, but there is reason 10 believe
that two important frauds have been
perpetTated since the new regulations
went into effect, and that they will
soon receive the attention of the Off
Gals. One of these two shipped from
the West 10 New York spirits of much
higher proof than was called for in the
permits and bills of iading. The other
is collector, who is in collision with
the fraudulent shippers, to conceal and
ultimately destroy the brands given for
transportation from one district TO an
other. Seine of the larger manipulators
in both sections of the country have
been quietly watched for few weeks
past, and snares prepared for them,
into which they have already fallen.
A detachment of hungry whisky men
is here urging the removal of Commits
sioner Rollins on the ground of corrup-
ton. 1t is simply preposterous for such
charges to be made against a man OF
whom, whatever may be thought of his
politics or capacity, not one word can
be said on the score of personal integ-
rity.
One of the important features of the
