AN officer of the United States army.

that the election of Seymour and Blair
will be the signal of a reign of entire
suppression of free opinion and of daily
assination. After confirming thestrength
Of the Ku-Klux In Tennessee at forty
thousand, as proclaimed by Forrest, the
writer says: Think what a condition
the South is in. Had it not been politi-
cal necessity for the election. it would
have been the most wicked foolishness
to reorganize these States and free them
from the control of the bayonet, for thew
are entirely unfit for self-goveryment,
and If we We're removed, and fear of the
North taken away, the rebels would
march to the capital of every State and
drive out the Governors and Legislatures
with pistols. 1t would then oe done at
once, and theygc scarcely,refrain from
doing 1t now. Some of their papers say

sued IN these States tfas been criminally
mild from the beginning. have always

" We are so blunted by the civil war
that we scarcely recoil at these. facts,
scarcely think OF them as obiiging ali
good c1tlzensto vote as to prevent their
election. l go farther, and assure you,
from what know and see of the South,
that the election Of Seymour and Blair
will so puff up these people, so madden
their blood with victory, that they will
know no bounds, and, seeing themselves
the victors from Spottsyivania onward.
they will compel their Northern friends
to measures not now dreamed Of Now

One Of the most creditable acts that
Governor ever performed in the ordinary
routine Of executive duties, was Gov.
Bakers order to the Sheriff Of Dearborn
County to spare no pains in arrestings Nc
Coole aud Coborn, who had como hundreds
Of miles with the assorted roughs Of all the
country TO break the laws of that State.
Ii is not often that Governor or Sher-
III is disposed 20 interfere in behalf OF Law
when a considerable number Of people are
interested in its violation. Governor Ba.
ker, however. was decided in the deter
mination that Indiana should not be msdo
a rallyine ground for the mob. and bis in-
strnctions to the Sheriff we're emphatic to
prevent such dissertation Of bic territorial
ljurisd iction.
e F'k this he has the thanks of every
friendof morality and good order. Aswas
10 be expected. Governor Baker IL impor-
tuned from high quarters To order the re-
lease ofthese heroes OF the rowd y class from
the righteous imprisonment 20 which Judge
Wilsou sentenced them. We have for
some years noticed The operations Of SYM
patty for culprits who have friends, while
for those who have no friends except
among the very humble class, the senti-
ment among the influential has been, "IIit
him again, he's got no friends" Good
enough for him." &C., DC. Governor Baker
is not Of such stuff as can be moulded into
weights and measures-oDe for the poor
and another for the rich one for the lowly
and another for the conspicuous.
The only circumstance 10 be deplorcd
in connection with the Imprisonment of
McCoole and Coburo, Is the misplaced ia
vor of the Sheriff, 10 allowing them too
much comfort ia their quarters They are
provided with all the Injuries, and are
permitted 10 have good social time with
their fellows as often as they please
Bread and water, or such fare as is sfford-
ed 10 common malefaetors, should be pro-
yidcd for them. This, however. might
subject the Governor aud Sheriff TO the
cry of persecution, % and to denunciafion
for their barbarity such cry as is
now raised, for party purposes, in behalf
Of Woolley, the impudent and contuma-
cious agent Of the whisky ring. Still it
would be we'll for the common people to
remember that one Of them, un der similar
would get no sympathy
only curses hit him again" etc Ifihey
shall lie "bamboozlcd" by the foul policy
Of weights and measures. it will only show
how stupid they are - Cincinnati Tines.

Another Fenian Scare.

The Fenian scare throughout the Do.
minion is increasing instead of abating
and the authorities add to the fear Of al
impending, raid by extensive preparations
they are making in Montreal. A flying
column of four companies Of regulars aud
two battalions of volunteers arc under or.
ders to move at moments notice TO any
point they may be ordered. At Quebec
the volunteers have been ordered to draw
their requisite amount OF ammunition and
rations, aud keep themselves prepared in
every particular for campaign. A large
force of British regulars is to be sent to
Prescott next week, and 10 the mean time
large quantities of ammunition and other
war material are being forwarded to that
point. At Athlone, Canada, the Fenian
sympathizers are jubilant, and boast that
the news they have of movements Of the
Irish leaders make it certain that the in
vasion will take place before the Goth in.

Sweetsburg, charged with being Fenian
spies. Maps and papers duplicating them
were found in their possession. One Of
of the men had but one arm. He says
be came from New York. Both Of the
prisoners are now confined in Jail and

Fair Play.

The public feelings will not be hurt il
tho gentle squeeze which the House is Civ.
ing Mr.. Woolley shall bring out that the
large sums Of money which came into his
hands so mysteriously were used even
moro directly for corruption for the pur-
poses Of the whisky ring, than by the pur.
chase OF the judgment Of Senator'S in the
impeachment verdict. On the contrary,
they will be gratifed If this inquiry shall
open that monstrous iniquity. There is
much squirming in various quarters at this
inquiry, and suspicious anxiety for tech
nical regularity, and to cast suspicion on
the motives OF the Managers and Of the
House; all Of which tends to increase the
public desire that tho money trail which /.
now struck shall DO pursued until II il
known what Il runs to.
Democratic principles, and the Demo-
cratic idea of the Constitution, and Of the
nalienable rights proclaimed by the De-
claration OF Independence, seem all tC
hang on the doliyerance OF Mr.. Woolley
'irom this question. And there is much
concern to the same end in quarters not SC
partisan; all of which increases the public
curiosity to know what Mr.. Woolley did
with tho money. There seems to BIO a
