Our friends now assembling in Washington
fnd on a comparison of notes, that the skies
are everywhere bright Senator Cameron pledges
Pennsylvania for ten thousandin in October. Gov.
Morton and Speaker Colfax are content with no
such small figures Cor Indiana and Ohioans
talk of nothing less than majority of twenty
five thousand, which, considering their last,
ought to be satisfactory, but, considering what
they hare done, cannot be called remarkable
We rejoice with the rejoicing Congressman at
these happy prospects; but we beg them to re-
member that only hard work has given such
promise to the canvass, and only q continual
ton of this hard work can mako it
good at the polls. We have plenty
of voters, gentlemen, to give an overwhelming
majority in the Electoral College to Grant and
Colfax. Let it be your care that no exertion
is spared to have them record their votes.
And, above all, let every one remember that
the best way to organize victory in November
throughout the Union is to secure triumphant
Republican victories in October in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio and Indiana.

The Democratic organ announces that at
meeting of the Twelfth Ward Empire Club
last Thursday evening the inmitable McSor-
"leyn sang as sweetly as a nightingale In be-
half of Blair and Seymour. Although TINS Is
the first time we have ever heard Oh this
matchless warbler far be it from us to aepre-
ciate his artistic abilities! If Mr. Grau should
hear of him (through this notice. and engage
him to trill at the opera. it would be pleasure
to us TO feel that, through our MEANS SO much
talent had been fished out of the Twelfth
Ward. But singing too often, in connection
with too much whisky -andwater, is very detn-
mental to the vocal organs. Our advice, there-
fore. to the inimtable McSorley is that he pru-
IDENTIFY husband his resources. The time Is tast
approaching when his party will need some
body to assist in dirges and funeral anthems;
and McSorley should keep in a condition to
add his melancholy howl TO the general mourn
ful swell,

A correspondent of Chicago newspaper has
had conversation with an 'Old Jackson Bemo-
"crat.n who knows Frank Blair like book. lie
SAYS: Franks a rale grit. He was always
fighting at school. He believed in the code
sir; so did the old man stand by the code {;
"they were all on the code. They were ali good
shots, and proportionately proud OF their
"honors.r Here he was asked if Frank was
equal TO his brother Montgomery in ability.
Smarter sir; not so good natured, but pore
popular. He'll fight quicker. Bless you! that
Frank would make no bones in cleaning out
the whole Congress- hoss, foot, and artillery

At an immense meeting Of the soldiers Of
Western PENNSYLVANIA held recently ut Pitts
burgh addresses were made 10y Gen. Swetzer,
whoprcsidcd, zen. lIartranft, Gen. King of Mary
land, and others. Gen. Sweitzer spoke as an
Old Line Whig, who had stood by the Free Union
principles of Henry Clay until the Wing party
perished; as District Attorney of Pennsylvania
under Fillmore he enforced the Fugitive Slave
law, then voted as Douglas Democrat; was
willing that the South should rule in the Union,
until it rebelled, and then volunteered to save
the nation from destruction. He was COnsery-
ative throughout the war; served under Nc
Clellan, and voted for him in 1864; sustained
Johnson in all his Reconstruction policies, and
condemned tho course of Congress on lmpeach-
ment. Conservative rs he was, lie believed
that the election of Seymour and Blair meant
war, destruction, and shame and the election
of Grant and Colfax meant peace, order, and
prosperity. He like Grant, desired peace. An
address was adopted charging that the Rebels
Hampton, Forrest and Beauregard constructed
the most important planks of the Democratic
platform, and influenced the Convention to
adopt revolutionary policy. When such Con-
seryatiye soldiers as Gen. Sweitzer declare for
Grant and Cofax, it il easy to see that there
will be very few of the defenders of the Union
left to vote for Seymour and Blair.

Our friends in Pennsylvania are IN capital
spirits. and have entered upon the campaign
with laudable enthusiasm; but while the
marching. and meetings, and music are all ex-
cellent in their way, we advise the hepuoh-
cans of that State to keep sharp eye on
Wallace's Democratic Coffee-Pot. There is no
knowing where this handy utensil may be set
up this year; but after the lamentable expo
cure of Mr.. Walace's coffee-making IN the
XXIst Senate District, we fancy he will cook
no more coffee there for the present. lie may,
however resume his culinary operations some
where else, and steep naturalization papers

trail Committee may undertake to "do or dye

According to the minor Democratic organ in
this city, there has been a most tremendous,
enthusiastic, Oyerpowerihg, overlooking, ram
pant unterrifed ten-acre demonstration by the
noble DemOcracy-Qf TarrytOwn! 1t is even
supposed that it would have been larger still,
if anybody else had been engaged to make the
great speech of the evening. The fact that
the posters announced the Hop. James Brooks
of this city as chief rhetorcian would have
been n damper, if damper had not been
altogether out of the question. The meeting
was enlarged by full delegation from Dobbs's
Ferry. The rumor that Rip Van Wrinkle, esq,
presided, having in the handsomest manner
walked up again for this occasion, is unfounded.
Van Winkle was MT there, but Mr. Brooks was,
with the power of magnetizing the whole audi
ence into Van Wrinkles in five minutes-a
power which, no doubt, he exercised.

POLICE CoURT.-Two victims TO their
propensity for making tumult and dis
order were arraigned before tho Court
yesterday morning. The first case
called was that of Rinehart Blum, who
was charged with abusing his wife.
Mrs. II aroused the whole neighbor-
hood with her cries of "murder 81
"murder!" tow evenings since, and
parties running to the scene of the out
cry discovered no others present than
herself aud husband. Although wit
nesses testified that they did not see
Blum offer any violence. the clrcum-
stances were so strong against him that
Il fine of ten dollars was imposed, with
costs. He promptly liquidated and
went on his way.
The other party called up was Frank
LnZIcr, who raised muss down ut IL
saloon on Water street. The evidence
showed that LaZier was rather impor-
tunate in his demands for benzine, and
when demonstrated with showed signs
of combR tiveness. 1t was further
shown that having no money to give in
exchange for his tavorite beverage, he
insisted that the proprietor of the
coffee house should give him the thirst
creating fluid. Tho oft repeated de-
mand becoming irksome, LazIer was
elected into the street. Selling two
boulders he made demonstrations as If
about TO ventilRte the room by knock
ing holes through the windows, but he
reirained, contenting himself by Civ
ing vent to his pent.up feelings in
curses loud and deep. His Honor taxed
him five dollars and costs. Not having
the stamps, he was committed to Jail.
