Our City and County Ticket.

THE nomination of candidates for all the Of
fees in the city and county, was completed
yesterday by the selection of Mr.. William Y
Campbell for Register of Wills, and Joseph NJ.
Cowen for Sheriff. In the selection of these
gentlemen the Convention has furnished us
with as strong ticket as we had any right to
expect. Mr.. Campbell is an earnest Republi-
can, and has always borne the reputation of
being an honest and courteous gentleman. We
know that considerable disappointment is felt
because of the defeat OF General Provost. He
was pressed earnestly by gentlemen whose
recommendation should not be passed unno-
tioed, and is certainly an excellent and worthy
gentleman. But some one had to be defeated
and by going into the Convention the
friends of each candidate agreed to
submit their qualifications to the de-
cision of that body. majority, taking into
consideration Mr.. Cowell's high private char
aoter, and remembering the long and faithful
services he has rendered the party, he having
ALWAYS been one of its most earnest and con-
slant working members, saw fit to give him
the coveted honor, and we are glad to see the
friends of General Provost have the graceful
courtesy and good sense to make the selection
unanimous.
II has been several years since we have had
a ticket without some weak spot in 1t. But

The Progress of the Pacific Railroad.
THE opening of the tunnel on the California
side Of the Pacific Railroad, through the sum-
NIT of the Sierra Nevada is announced. The
most formidable and costly difficulties on the
Pacific end of the route are now surmounted,
and hereafter the constructors of the road
have the prospect Of cheap and easy route.
The track is already being laid on the eastern
slope of the mountains, and Nevada will pro-
badly be reached during the present season.
From this side the road is also progressing
rapidly, although the Indian difficulties have
done much to embarrass and retard it, The
Omaha line has already reached distance of
$50 miles, W bile the Kansas branch must be
finished for nearly 300 miles. 1t is more than
probable that the year 1870 will witness the
cars running through from the Missouri river
to the Pacific Ocean.

OLD CHURCHES IN New JERsEY.-The Dutch
Reformed Church at Bergen Hill, about two
miles back from Jersey City, claims to be the
first church of any denomination established
in New Jersey. The First Presbyterian Church
the first church in New Jersey where the
services were held in the English language.
The old First Presbyterian Church on Broad
street, in Newark, was built in 1878, the con-
gregation having being organized in 1867. The
Baptist Church in Pisoataquay, Middlesex
county, was established in 1880. The Rartan
Dutch Reformed Church, in Somerset county,
near the junction of the North and South
branches of the Raritan, was organized in 1880.
Old Tenant Church, near Freehold, was esta-
blished in 1852. The Episcopal at Perth Amboy
was established in 1898. The Presbyterians
first had worship in Perth Amboy in 1871.

The Success of Our PrIucipIes.


OVER two months ago an effort was started to
secure the unanimous reelection of Judge
Ludlow. 1t was headed by many gentlemen
of the Republican party. 1t secured the assent
of two of the Republican newspapers of Phila-
delphia. 1t was not opposed by any paper we
read-no voice raised in opposition. At the
same time, although assured by many for
whose opinion we have high regard that any
attempt to secure a Republican nomination
would ignominiously fail, we felt that the
crisis demanded that the conquerors in the
war should not tamely submit to the election
of any man, not if he was as pure as Gabriel
himself who had opposed thewar and favored
the policy of the Democracy while our nation
was in danger. Beleiveing this, the EVENING
TELEGRAPH, early in June, demanded that the
party convention should meet, and that it
should do its duty md put up candidate.
Alone and single-handed we fought in favor
of what we felt was the opinion of the masses
of the party, and what we oonscientiously
believed to be our duty as public journalists.
And despite all opposition, all murmurs, all
assurances of failure, we have succeeded. The
Convention met, and not voice was raised in
favor of adjournment. Not man dared pro-
pose what was openly declared as certain two
months ago, although there were parties in
The body pledged to make the motion. A
candidate was nominated amid great enthu-
slasm' and, with unanimity most surprising,
the unties OF the Convention were done. Now

We extract from the Chicago Tribune,
of the 18th inst the following estimate
of the negro. The Tribune has hereto
fore been firm believer in the theory of
negro perfection 1t is now evidently
preparing to threw him overheard, and
let him sink or swim, as chance and his
capacity may determine his fate:
If the friends and enemies Of the negro
have alike been mistaken in their theories,
touching the freedman, that they have
formed, they will be equally disappointed
in his future. He certainly will not go
back to barbarism, as the latter expect; he
certainly will not go forward as fast as the
former hope. <
The error of both these estimates is
fundamental. The negro is not all good
nor all bad. His educrtion has been wo-
fully defective. The school in which he
was taught vas one of extreme hardship
and misery. He met the horrible untruth
that underlies slavery by becoming of
necessity a liar in his turn. He was
obliged to put in his petty thefts Of the
meat.house and chicken-coop as a protest
against the great robbery of which he was
the victim. Enforced and unpaid labor he
answers by laziness that was quickened
only by the whip. He faithfully copied,
after having partly created, the nastiness,
unthrift and improvidence of his teachers
and thus tortured, he was made the recipi-
ent of freedom, which came upon him like
an opening Heaven TO the vision of the
sinner. What wonder that he has not an
swered the hopes and expectations of his
friends-that he, in part, provokes and
iusti6es the attacks of his foes

TRUTH AND ERR0R.

Universal negro suffrage, with disfran-
chisement of the great body of the whites,
forced upon the Southern States by mill.
tary power, and leading in nearly all those
States to the absolute supremacy of the ne
groes III the government, must of neces-
sity be odious and intolerable to the white
inhabitants. Even if forced to consent to
1t, such step must implant in their minds
the most bitter resentment toward those by
whom the blow has been inflicted. Its di-
rect tendency, moreover, is to array the
blacks and whites against each other-to
make each feel that the other is his enemy,
and thus to SOW the seeds Of future COLI
sions and hatred between the two races. If
the work had been done by the people Of
those States themselves, the result would
have been different. That it must have
been done sooner or later is certain. The
negroes in all the Southern States are so
numerous, the capital and industry of the
South are so dependent upon them, that
their admission to the suffrage would very
soon become absolutely Indispensable to
the safety of Southern society and the
Southern whites would have consulted
their own interests quite as much as those
of the blacks, by bringing them in as rap
idly as possible to the exercise of political
power.
In the above paragraph from the New
York Times, there is a mixture of truth
and error. The first half is true; the
last half is not true. The freedmen in
the Southern States hold no relation to
the capital and industry of this sec
ton, that makes it necessary for the
safety of Southern society that such a
mass of brutal ignorance should be in
vested with the control of its capital and
industry" and the conduct of its State
governments, as it would unquestionably
have if given the ballot The security of
every interest of these communities de-
mands that the political power should be
welded by the intelligent Caucasian race,
and there viii be no security for capital,
no profitable system of labor no stable
government, no assured peace to the
entire nation, until all attempts to place
the -inferior above the superior and cir
cumvent God in this matter, are aban-
doned.

old School PresBytery,elc

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The Presbytery
of Baltimore, old school, is now in session
at Georgetown. The report to-day made
from a special committee on the subject of
the union of the old and new church, and
in which the following paragraph occurs
"The experience of our own church
before and since its Lewiston, has proved
conclusively that the unity of the spirit in
the bonds of peace was better served
by their separation than by organic
union, and we accept the teachings
of the experience as decisive, and
thus far, that unless now agreed upon, the
points which then decided them must now
decide that the time has not yet come for
organic union, and we feel constrained to
say that in the basis proposed by the joint
committee, such agreement is not made
sufficiently apparent.
The Synod laid on the table, by vote of
forty-fve to twenty, resolution declaring
that the Synod of Baltimore expresses its
earnest desire that the two branches of the
Presbyterian church may soon be united in
cordial and Unanimous union.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

forwarded to VIM. l.. Hirst, of Philadel-

lowing copy of telegram, which shows
the frauds resorted to by the Radicals in
Pennsylvania:
Fort DELAWARE, October IA 1867
General E. d. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant
General / was in Philadelphia when the
election occurred here. Col. Howard, who
was in command, reports that a citizen
presented himself here with a commission
from Gov. Geary, under the seal of Penn
sylvania, appointing him to take the votes
of Pennsylvania soldiers at this post. Col.
Howard told him that he was under the
impression that such an election was not
legal. But as the man had commission
from Gov. Geary, he allowed him to take
the votes. I add, on my own authority,
that 1 have ascertained that large pro-
portion of the men voting had no vote in
the State under any circumstances. 1t is
said only thirty-three (33) votes were
polled, while over one hundred 400 were
returned No officers were concerned one
way or other in this election.
