The Republicans of the XIVth New-York Dis
trict (Albany and Schoharie) have nominated
JOSEPH II. RAMSEY for Congress, against
Stephen L. Mayhem. The District is at present
represented by the Hon. John V. J.. Pruyn,
who defeated Mr. Ramsey in 1866 by G4s ma
jority. The Rebel majority in 1854 was 4,555.
Mr.. Pruyn was the strongest Democrat
in the District. and was only saved
from defeat by Schoharie. Mr.. Ramsey is the
leading spirit in the building of the Susque-
hannah Railroad. lie is capable and energetic,
and is just tho man to represent the CONNER
cial interests of Albany at Washington. We
are confident that he can be elected. Republi-
cans of the XIVth, let nothing be undone to
secure this result.

4 WDYD FOR uR. BINcKLEY.

We have tried 20 do Justice to Mr.. Binckley,
whose cnrd il printed elsewhere, and this now
appeal is not made in vain IT, as he says, he
comes TO Ncw-York :" to break up those powerful
combinations of corruption which the press
everywhere habitually denounce," then lac
comes on n noble crrand. If, as is the common
rumor, he is the representative of the Presi
don't, then we thank Mr. Johnson, and assure
hin that he can do nothing better calculated to
close his administration in blaze of glory,
than To make instant, uncompromising, and
extcrminating war upon the mighty confederacy
of scoundrels that now batten upon the public
revenues. The people have long believed, aud
not without reason, that this cOnfcderacy has
been under the special patronage of the Pres-
dent that its leaders are his friends, and that
he has been always disposed to countenanceits
maneuyers. Mr.. Buckley gives MS other assu-
RANGES, aud significantly hints that his investi-
cations are in I" active progress, and furnish q
prospect of early and serious results" Then
let him by all means press bis Investigations.
We shall Insist that he have an open field and
fair play. Let bIr. Johnson strengthen his
hands, and if any officer Of his Government
interferes let him be put aside. The first point
of attack, it seems TO us, is the administration
of Federal justice in the City of New York.
Let Mr.. Bincllcy find out, if possible 1--WE have
long tried in vain), why Mr.. Dstrict-Attorney
Courtney and Judge Blatchford have not tried

with fraud and corruption, and our Courts are

ence. Men have reduced revenue frauds to
science Take the XXXIId District for in

Mr.. Sheridan Shook-and read the evidence
which Mr.. Shook and his friends gave before
the Committee on impeachment. Is there any
necessity for this District, and is it wise to
have the revenues collected by man who gets
so drank in Washington that he does not know
what he does with as large sum Of money rs
stG,OOO2 These are a few of the questions that
we commend to Mr.. Binckley's immediate at
tention. Let him rip up the whole business
from beginning to end, and we are sure be will
be heartily sustained by every newspaper that
pretends to protect the people. He need have
no fear from what he calls tho almost Omnip-

make it irrespective of men or parties; and
although we have no special admiration for
Mr.. Bnckley, and but little confidence in his
success. we beg him to go ahead, and shall give
him all the aid in our power.

tho,Bonds. Tie Times desires his defeat be-
cause of his course in Impeachment, and is
anxious to have Mr.. Dana elected as much
because he opposed impeachment and is
considered a Conservative Republican as for
any other reason Now, if it is proposed to
make the question of Impeachment an issue
with Gen. Butler, it will of course be made
all over the country; and if the defeat OF Gen.
Butler is to be understood as a rebuke for his
services in the Impeachment trial, he will
probably be elected by majority almost or
onite as large as that which elected him in
1866. We shall next have The Times desiring
to oppose Republicans because of their refusal
to support the Philadelphia Convention. 1t Is
as sensible to attack them for the one thing
as for the other. The Times had better confine
its war to the financial issue, and not make
new one on matter in which the Republican
party was almost unit.

our readers already know. The returns we
have printed were not official, but they en-
braced the most authentic information attain

while, it is painful to observe to what straits
the Colorado Seymourites are reduced through
their lack of an arithmetician equal to the

sturdily maintains that they have won

The World, which has been in tribulation over
Gen. Sickles's politics, may now reserve its
groans for home consumption. Its own and its
Presidents darling, Gen. Gordon Granger, is in
trouble. He has been "stumping about the
country" for Mr. johnson for nearly year,
and the army rolls bear the Ominous inscrp-
tons, "Absent from duty more than six months, y
and "Without known authority" Thereupon
the Paymaster is instructed not to pay the ex-
cellent Granger, for that he hasn't earned any
thing, and has been doing it for good while.
The Democratic brethren are always in favor,
they say, of rigid economy. Here is a case
which of course they will applaud.

Judge Thomas NJ. Key is a well-known Ohio
politician. The Judge was not in Philadelphia
yesterday. We have not searched tho hotel
registers to reach this conclusion, but We have
read Gen. McClellans speech. ..rr
This aforetime was mystery, but in the lat
ter days it has been revealed. So long as Judge
Key retained his position on Gen. McClellan's
personal staff, it was observed that however
doubtful might be his achievements with the
sword, the Generals pen and tongne
were always ready and dexrous. Whose
reads the speech which we print in
another column may now sec why
we are sure that Judge Key was not at his
friends elbow But, with or without his Men
tor, the General is cautious. He is the last
candidate of great party for the Presidency.
That party has seized upon him, on the moment
of his return TO his native country, and asked
him to preside at its mass meetings. He
has coldly acknowledged his allegiance
but denied that it involves any duties. He
cannot preside. lie cannot talk politics. He
cannot abide political notices. He may be
sophomoric- his Mentor away-but he is
sure, now as always, to be cautious. Read bis
speech of yesterday, and what weiehty
National concerns at this crisis filed his mind

We have not carried Delaware. We take
pains to chronicle the fact, lest readers, in the
rush. present and in the near future, of Repub-

not expect to carry it any way, and as Delaware,

THE SOUTHERN CARNIVAL OF MURDER

THE SOUTHERN CARNIVAL OF MURDER
There are unfaling tests whereby any one
who honestly seeks may know who are re-
sponsible for the Wholesale butcheres continu-
ally taking place at the South. Here are some
of them:
/. In Brooklyn, few years ago, some scores
of unoffending Blacks were set upon, beaten,
mangled, and some of them nearly killed,
while they all narrowly escaped burning to
death, at the hands of the present supporters
Of Seymour and Blair. They were not claim
ing the Right of Suffrage, nor anything else but
the privilege of peaceably earning their living
in tobacco factory.
III. In July, 1863, the Coored Orphan Asylum
in this City was burned to the ground by a
vast mob Of Democratic sympathizers with the
slaveholding, ncgro-despsing oligarchy which
miscalls itself "the South" while every Black
who could be found, whether at home or in
the streets, was hunted like a wild beast, and
if caught, mangled or murdered One, at least
was roasted as he hung after he had been
caught and choked to death. Not one of them
was even suspected of any other offense than
his color
Ill In the Winter of 1923, seeing stout
young man in country store near this City
who was riggcd out with gun, powder-horn,
shot-pouch &c, for n hunting excursion. the
writer casually said to him, "If / liked to
"shoot, | would go down to Virginia" 80"
he responded eff were going to Virginia to
"shoot, | would MT shoot White men, should
I" shoot niggers." For what reason he would
shoot them. ho did not indicate; nor was it
necessary that he should.
". When Andrew Johnson was pressed to
favor Impartial Suffrage, before his apOstasy
had become unequiyOcal, he responded, If
" the Blacks are onfranchised, there will be q war
of races" or " they will be killed" He never
dreamed that heg would seek to kill any one
because of their enfranchlsement he meant
that the Whites would Kill them if they were
allowed to vote.
Y. In no single instance of recent collision
between armed or partially armed parties at
the South have the Blacks failed TO be by far
the hcnyior sufferers. If they planned and in
siguicd these wholesale butchcres, they would
evidently manage TO be sometimes the stronger,
better armed party.
VI. The spirit and language of the Rebel or
Democratic press through most of the South
continually implies that the Blacks deserve
killing for presuming to vote for Grant and Col
fax The speeches of Howell Cobb. Toombs,
B. II. Till, Wade Hampton, &c, imply that
they have no right thus TO vote-that they
wrong their White ncighborS by seeking to do
so. Even Hills last cautious letter asserts that
Seymour's election will be understood as de
Gliding that the new State Governments are not
estGbiisfci-iu other words, that the Blacks
have no right To vote.

Democratic journals join us in denouncing this
suppression of official reports for partisan pur-
poses 7 They had good deal to say about it
a few days ago we beg them not TO weary in
well doing, now that they have detected not
only the crime but the criminal. For the rest,
it is only needful to observe that the Secretary
of War promises to let us have the Camilla
report which Mr.. Johnson has been suppressing.
New-York tribune., 1868-10-09

The President could but he dared not. Han
cocks reOpened wound furnished him most
excellent excuse, and he has wisely determined
to postpone the Dyer court-martial till after

therefore spared to Tennessee. We need not
add that the Ku-Klux will not interfere with
the Tennessee election. Would that we had a
Soldier as wise and as incorruptible for every
