carpet-baggers, have embraced the
present pportunity of comparative
leisure Of our courts to have them
selves naturalized. The idea that
the courts could not grant such
certificates because they are not
now engaged in the trial of suits,
but are specially authorized and
required to be kept open for all eD
paTte, interlocutory and other
proceedings, is so stupeEdous an
absudity, as no other man but
Baker, would dare to utter or
maintain. The The graeeless renegade,
who in 1862 claimed British pro-
lection, and joined a military COM
pany composed exclusively of citi-
zens OF, Great Britain, and who at
the same time was engaged in the
manufacture of the most dan
gerous combustibles used by the
Confederates to destroy the lives
of Union soldiers, is a very proper
person to select for this dirty busi-
ness Of excluding from the franchise
the most useful and valuable class
of our citizens, from a fear that
their votes might nullify like
number of the votes of negroes.
Will the people submit to such
villainy as this ? We put it to the
most ultra Radicals of the North
to Greeley, to Beeoher, to Tilton
and the rest, if any people, white
or black, would be entitled to the
honor of American citizen, who
would quietly submit to be thus
defrauded Of their most valuable
rights by a British migrate, who,
when the country was in war,
claimed the neutrality and .protec-
ton of . foreign flag? l

But whatever is done must be
done quietly. There must be no
disturbance of the peace or the
movement will be worse than a
failure. Nor must it be conducted
by party hacks or under party
tramme1s. The sovereign people
must act on their own behalf, and
il legal sanctions are wanting there
must at least be an observance OF
the customary formalities.
An example of this kind of ir-
regular election was furnished By
Mr. Warmoth- when he became a
Delegate to Congress from the
Territory of Louisiana, by the
choice of unregistered and unre-
oognized voters. His election was
quiet one, and we think that the
white people of the city and State
are quite as capable of attending
to their own affairs now as the ne
groes were on that occasion.

The Approaching Election.


Nothing can be more plainly APP
parent than the Radical intent to
make the approaching election a
low, mischieVous farce. All the
machinery and appointments have
been provided to that end. A char
acterless adventurer has been
thrust upon the people as, Chair
man Of the Board of Registration !;
the Supervisors are all Radicals of
the most intolerant sect; a plain
and wen concerted scheme has
been adopted to permit none but
Radicals to,register, and the cleo
tion provided for in the proolama-
ton Of Gov. Warmoth, is by dis
tricbs, not by a general ticket, as
the law and common sense require.
Canany reasonable man imagine
that the white conservatives, who
own nine-tenths of the property
and pay nine-tenths of the taxes of
the State, will permit themselves
TO be- deprived OF Il their dearest
rights by allowing such q farce to
be perpetrated in their name?
Without their, consent ceording
to q we'll known republican maxim.
the State governments is without
(" just authority and can be re-
garded only as q usurpation. ~o
The difficulty must then be met
at once. The people who pay the
taxes must be allowed a voice in
the selection of their rulers, or
chaos will certainly come again.
Baker must be dismissed and a
fair registration and election had,
or the people viii be obliged to
take, the matter into their own
hands, refuse to recognize the plum

OBITUARY..
Peter CagWer,

Peter Cagger, the circumstances of whose
death are given below, says the New York
Herald, was a native OF the city of Albany, New
York State. and at the time of his decease was
about hity six years OF age. He adopted the
profession of law, rose rapidly to position OF
great eminence AZ Ihe bar, and accumulated
large fortune, having also achieved the reputa-
tion OF beng one OF the aolest special pleaders
in the SraTe, AS a lawyer he was associated in
business with Nicholas Hill, John X. Porter,
and Samuel Stevens, gentlemen who have
themselves become eminent at the bar and on
the bench of the highest tribunals in the State.
Duling nearly thirty years past Mr. Cagger
was Intimately Identified with the Democratic
party in New York, and for fifteen or twonty
years had been a recognized leader in the or
ganiZation. He had represented the CITY of
Albany at nearly every Democratic Convention
assembled in this State for the past quarter of q
century, and his person had become familiar TO
all who have attended those assemblies. His
position as a leading representative OF the "Al-
Dany Regency" mas long been acknowledged
and in conjunction with the late Dean Rich
mond he had virtually controlled the Demo
cratic party OF this State tor many years But
In addition 10 his marked talent as an accom-
plished political leader, he possessed the conf
dence of all classes of men in degree rarely
equalled by men prominent In political life aud
service. His Integrity was beyond question, and
his honesty, foresight, prudence and zeal insured
TO him, 10 a great extent, that success which
had manifested itself in connection with his
public labors 1t is a remarkable fact and a
somewhat significant reflection on his retiring
disposition that, with the execution of probably
some comparatively unimportant local offices in
Albany he had never occupied public official
position, though IL is beyond douOt that, with
MS pOpulhIlbg anu Ills BIeab lbllubnCt, Ddu ho
been in any degree ambitious he might have
attained to some of the highest offices in the
State. AS citizen Mr. Cagger was esteemed
and respected by ali VINO enjoyed his acquaiut-
ance, while the warm benevOlence and genlality
of his disposition endeRTsd him in an unusual
degree to all who enjoyed his friendship. Mr..
Cagger leaves wife and young family on
whom tins calamity will fall most heavily. In
every walk OF life the deceased was a most esti
mable maD, and the news of his sudden death
Will cast gloom over the community where he
resided ana will be received with deep regret
throughout the country.
The deceased arrived in New York city q few
days since TO attend the National Convention
now In session, and was staying temporarily at
the Worth House. on Monday evening, ABOUT
half past six o'clock, he drove out in barouche
with o friend-Mr, George Evans, OF Albany
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-07-08

and proceeded up Fifth avenue and by way OF
Bloomlngdale road to the residence OF MT.
Develin, at One-hundred-a and thirty-fOurth
street. After remaining short time Mr.. Evans
returned alone to the city, leaving Mr.. Cagger,
gentleman at the Manhattan Club at halfpast
eleven o'clock. II was understood at parting
that MIR. CagRer would drive into town with Mr..
Develin shortly aft or wards. About ifteen min
utes later both gentlemen started for the city in
a carriage, though II is reported that the under

short distance north of Eighty fourth street.
Shortly after entering the Park they reached
sharp curve In the road and as they drove
briskly around IL, the spokes of one of the
wheels gave way, upsetting the vehicle, aud
throwing its occupants to the ground. Mr..
Develip's injuries so iar AZ ascertained ne consist
aud a broken hand. Mr. Cagger's skull was
fractured, in fact, crushed in, and his face
slightly cut. The remains OF the deceased were
visited yesterday by n large number of promt-
nent gentlemen. The BODY was conveyed to
Albany at o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The Financial Issue.

THE Democratic National Convention, in
framing its platform, determined that there
should be no doubt or uncertainty in regard
to its position on the leading financial issues
of the day. 1t seems to have taken pleasure
in boarding the bankers and brokers of New
York in their den, and in warning Fernando
Wood, HOratiO Seymour, August Belmont, and
the New York World that no argument or
remonstrance could check the ardor of the Demo-
cratic champions of reputation. The favorite
organ of the Democracy, the La Crosse Demo-
crat, which has a greater circulation than all
the other leading Democratic journals com
bined, is an open advocate of direct repudia-
ton. II does not hesitate to announce, week
after week, its desire that the bonds of the
United States should become as worthless as
the bonds issued by the Confederaoy, and one
of the main causes of its popularity is to be
found in the persisteucy with which this in
famous breach of public faith is advocated.
That the Southern wing of the Democracy
should favor this idea is not surprising. In
deed, the nation could scarcely expect that
they would desire to help liquidate the debt
contracted to encompass the overthrow of the
Rebellion, for men never willingly pay for the
rod by which they are chastised. The Rebels,
too, having seen their own financial system
utterly destroyed, and Confederate bonds and
notes melt away into absolute nothingness, as
if they were "the baseless fabric of vision, 4"
know full we'll the depth of arrangement and
misery caused by such financial wreck,
and they fully comprehend that no better
means could be afforded of gratifying their
dreams of revenge against the loyal North
than the destruction of the existing financial
system in which public credit and private
