BALTIMORE, August l5.-The recent action of
the conservatives here, in with drawing from the

the Seymour and Blair party. The Democrats

striking the name of Conservative from the
Democracy, and hereafter they are to be known
only as Democrats. The cloven foot is sho yn at

"THE WHITE FAwN" continues to crowd the
Chestnut Street Theatre to its utmost capacity.
All the machinery is now in good working
order, and the spectacle progresses without any
hindrance or drawback. Last evening the cur
tain fell at ten minutes past eleven o'clock,
quite seasonable at this time OF the year. We
regret that Miss Josie Orton has not improved
in her manner since the first night. Seemingly
impressed with the idea that she Is the centre
OF attraction, and that even the gorgeous realms
of FAIRY and Dragon Fly must pale before her,
she endeavors to I'LL the stage-and falls But
this presumption Is not the only fault that her
audience have TO find with her. In many of
the scenes her manner is quite repulsive, and
much more becoming to q concert saloon than
to the stage OF frst-class theatre: This Is
especially noticeable in her limitations of Tos-
tee, OF unsavory memory. Tostee was bad
enough, but Miss Josie Orton is nothing II not
worse, since she fails TO impart TO these Pari-
sian pIanks that easy and graceful tone which
almost excused them In the native-born French
woman whom she apes so much. AS for her
singing, the less we say about 1t the better. A
few unpretentious ditties she can rattle of
with very good grace; but Jaime les Mitttaires is
altogether beyond her vocal capacities either

A Rebel Attempts to Help his Friends.
ROBERT OULD, the Rebel who had charge of
the exchange Of prisoners on the side of the
Confederacy, has come to the aid of his friend
Horatio Seymour, and written letter, for
which we make room to-day. 1t is designed
as an electioneering document in favor of the
Democracy, and endeavors, with an impu-
dence as rare as it is consummate, to throw
the blame of the horrors of Andersonville and
Belle Isle on-General Grant The heading
of the document as it lies before us in the
Washington Intelligencer reveals the object of
the letter.
"a Startling Revelation - The Exchange Of Prt-
sontrs-St0tenlent Of Robert Oufd, Esqs Grant
Responsible for all the Horrors Of AndersonUtLte-
BrS aestnony on W reGoa OraeTs tn no h1
Of Prisoners"
AS to the long statement of fact in regard to
the exchange, and the offers made by the Rebels,
we do not propose to deal with them on the
er parte statement of Rebel Commissioner.
We do not know what were the facts which in
duced the offer of Mr.. Ould to be declined.
We were then in state of war, and there is,
in all human probability, reason to believe
that the authorities did not keep our soldiers
in Southern dungeons just for the pleasure of
keeping them there. We think common
sense view of the case, 80 far as
the actions previous to the arrival of
General Grant were concerned, will be
the most satisfactory. If Mr.. Ouid's statement
Is correct and conclusive, then the authorities
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-08-21

at Washington, solely for the reason Of secur-
ing our soldiers sickness, left them in the
South. This is absurd. We will pass over
all the preparatory statements, leaving them
for reply from the authorities IL they deem
it worth while, and come to the gist Of the
letter in the attack on General Grant. The
following paragraph is all the reference, i'm
mediate or remote, to General Grant,
The day that left there General Grant ar
lived. General Butler says he communicated
emphatic verbal directions were received from
the Lieutenant. General not to take any step by
which another able bodied mau should be
changed until further orders from htm;' and
that on April 30, 1864, h~ receiv ed a telegram

ment OF the question OF exch 4nge with the
Confederate authorities, to put the matter
Extensively, for the purpose of preventing an
exchange"
Now what does this startling revelation"
amount to General Grant did not wish
able-bodied men returned to the Rebellion, and
verbally told General Butler so. Wonderful
revelationl The Rebellion was tottering for
want of men, and Grant did not want an able
DCuleu reinforcement sent 10 Jn6m. mo WOu-
der that Ould and the Democracy are indig-
psnt Then, again, he told the United States
to receive all the sick sent down, but not to
KEEP up the exchange for them. We
fail to see " startling revelation"
in that. So far as that part
of the letter which is correct "unieSs Mr..
Oulds recollection tails him." and which con-
tsins "substantiahy' what was "Spoken' by
General Butler at public meeting, We do not
deem it worthy of remark. 1t is a possibility
upon possibility, and one which even Mr..
Ould, with all his zeal for the friends of his
cause, will not venture to father. Looked at
in point of common sense, we ask our Demo
cratic contemporary, wherein is the startling
revelation" and in what way they have shown
that General Grant was responsible for all
the horrors of Andersonville ?" We would
like an answer.

While Jay Cooke was issuing these 2 655 263
bonds for $677, 322, $50, the Treasury was also
busily at work effecting similar sales or nego.
tiations. Yet, with the aid of all its imme

the gross amount it produced was only $751;
676, 250-the practical effect of the two sys-
TENS, when tried side by side, under the most
favorable circumstances to the official plan
being that Jay Cooke sold, in given period,
more than four times as many bonds as the

TALK VS.. WoRK.-This morning two ad-
DIRE sses are published from two Republican
con mittees. The first is brief and urgent
apl cal of Hon. G, A, Grow, Chairman of the
State Central Committee. 1t is good in its
way, and has the merit of saying what it
mt ans in few words. The other is three
columns long, and is signed by Mr..
CHARLES H. 7. Coils as Chairman of the Sol
diers' Executive Committee. What possible
good this address "No. l" is expected to do We
cannot imagine. In the first place not one
colun MS long; and, in the second place, hardly
any OIL is ever converted by it. We do not
,cant addresses. What is needed is 1ork-earnest,
personal cork. If Mr.. Coils, and the members
of his committee, will but 60 into their pre-
cincts and lend their aid in organization by
acting with personal zeal, they will do far
more good to the cause than by addresses
mo. l." or "No. ~ or 'No. 20" We do
not see the Democracy wasting ammunition in
such verbose declaration of principles. While
our committees are talking they are organiz-
ing and issuing secret circulars which contain
practical instructions. This is what we need.
We must 60 to the root of all successful cam
paigning, and by having not only ward com
mittees and division committees, but commit
tees to every square, so that not one vote can
be lost and not one waverer but will b.
strengthened in the faith by the appeals per
sonally made to him. 1t is by the hand to
hand conflict of argument that conviction is
brought and not by the one-sided discussion
OF an address, from which all can and most do
escape by ignoring all it contains. Let our
motto for the campaign be "less talk and
more work." and we will gain victory.
