drink, 10 the polls next week. To suppress
ttis many leggeo monster of fraud would be u
task for new Hercules. 1t IS easter to create
voters by vice than to unmake them by virtue.
Yet these voters must not be poled If a fair and
an honest election is TO be held in this city. To
me 1t seems that the only way to save the repu-
tation of the city is that suggested by THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH.
That paper points out that the District Attor-
ney Is the law officer OF the county, and that by
his opinion, in the absence of judicial decisions,
the executive officers OF the Common wealth are
governed. II therefore falls within his province
to advise the election officers of the illegalIty of
these pretended naturalization certificates, and
to instruct them 10 refuse the ballot of every
pt trson who attempts to vote on papers obtained
IN the manner practsed in the Supreme Court.
If these Instructions are issued and obeyed, the
action of the election officers will ultimately
and speedily come before the Supreme Court,
and 1t will be sustained by majority of the
Judges.
Thus stands Philadelphia to-day. Unques.
tionably by large majority Republican city,
che is about TO be given overto the Democracy by
a careless Prothonotary, professional perjurer,
an uniaithful Judge, and dishonest tipstave.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Boston, Oct. 9.-Mr. John Richardson, of the
firm OF Richardson & Co., well-known exchange
brokers in this city, arose from his bed at about
one o'clock this morning, laborlng under 6t of
insanity, and cut the throats of two of his chill
dren while they were asleep. The eldest, boy
of thirteen years, died Immediately, but it is
hoped that the younger may recover. Mr..
Richardson escaped in his night-gown, and has
not yet been found. He has probably made
way with himself
LATER.-Mr. Richardson was found at day
light this morning in barn adjoining his resi-
dence, a raving maniac. The affair has thro wn
profound gloom on 'Chauge, where Mr.. Richard
son is we'll known and highly esteemed. His
extensive business is said to have been the
cause of his insanity. He was preparing to go
abroad for his health.
1t is ascertaned from one OF the members Of
MIR. Richardson's family, that after cutting the
throat of his eldest son, who was lying sleeping
in his room adjoining that of his parents, Mr..
Richardson attempted to also kill his youngest
son in like manner, bat the child's screams
having awakened the mother, she finally sue
ceeded, at the peril Of her own life, in forcibly
separating them.
Mrs. Richardson states that her husband
seemed for moment conscious Of his terrible
deed, and Immediately rushed from the house.
From Mr.. Richardson's appearance when cap
tured it was evident that he had jumped over.
board into the harbor, as his night.clothes
were wet He wandered around Longwood, his
residence, and probably succeeded in secreting
himself in his barn after daylight this morning,
as 1t was locked previous to that time. He
remains entirely unconscious of his Decd and
has been sent to the Insane Asylum this morn

ROBERT TYLER.
The Son of the Ex-President Addresses
the Democracy.

The Son of the Ex-President Addresses
the Democracy.
Mr.. Robert Tyler, son of ex.Presi1ent Tyler,
genially ana familiarly known as Bob Tyler
during his iaher's term of Office now residing
in Montgomery. Ala, addressed a letter to a
recent Democratic mass meeting in Selma, from
which we make the following extracts:-
The radical party we'll know that it will be
quite impossible to find a more peaceful and
patient population than ours OIL the face of the
earth; and they further know that for Southern
men to engage, under these circumstances, In
civil violence and rebellion, would simply show
that every man who did 30 was an idiot. They
know all this well enough, but in their extre-
nifty they have resorted to this political fraud to
nerabe record. Their unceasiug effort is to
escape from their own acts. When asked to ex-
PLAIN what has become of the billion and a half
OF the peoples dollars they have collected and
by way of answer, ITO the front, boys in blue, y
Forward. Tanners," up with the fag,"
"Hurrah for Grant" When asked why,
after declaring radical reconstruction q perfect
ago, they now admit II to be disastrous failure,
they at once cry out that Toombs aud Cobb and
Wise and Hampton are conspirlng to incite
another rebellion" When asked why the
public debt is increasing in volume and why the
public credit is sinking lower and lower. they
bee:n to declaim frantically about the horrors
OF Confederate prisons and to weep tears over
the dead of the war. They dare not allow the
minds of the people 10 consider calmly the real
issues of the canvass and to form an unexcited
and deliberate judgment upon them. They dare
not in other words, answer to the people for
their extravaganza, corruption, usurpations,
revolutionary aspirations, and individual and
public immoralit'es
The matter which vitality concerns us is to
ascertain whether the people can be thus de;
]uded and betrayed into q position OF dreadful
peril from which they may not be able to escape
in safety when at last undeceived, or, fearful
thought it is to ascertain whether the people
bave themselves become SO corrupt as volun-
tarily to lay down the franchises of freemen,
and to put on the badges that shall mark them
as the servile subjects of a centralized despot-
ism. A few weeks longer aud the fate of our
country will have been settled for veal or woe.
When the sun sets on the Sd day of next No
vember the American Union will have acquired
a new promise of hope and regeneration in the
success OF the national Democratic party, or it
will have assumed form of government un-
known to the constitution of our fathers whose
powers, first partitioDed between the General of
The Army ana an IRRESPONSIBLE CONGRESS, must
speedily become consolidated in the hands OF
Congressional oligarchy or of a military dicta-
tor, as the struggle between them shall deter
mine.
