Meade's command, as the rock-bound coast
resists the angry waves and when the fearful
storm of battle had subsidized, the sun of the
Oonfederaoy had set in gloom forever. Troops
of nearly every Northern State shared in the
glory of the victory, and troops Of every
Southern State in the despondency of defeat.
Though the protracted forweary months
afterwards, Rebellion fought on in despera-
ton rather than in hope; and though the
Union cause met with temporary reverses, its
final success was no longer doubtful. AS the
capture of Burgoyne in the Revolutionary
war secured the independence of the strug-
Cling colonies, the victory at Gettysburg
clearly foreshadowed the overthrow of seces-
sion, and the American people cannot too
highly estimate the influence of such q pre-
monition upon their destiny.

THE DEMOCRACY DISC listed.

TIE Democratic County Convention drove
two more nails in the coffin of the party by
it's disorderly proceedings yesterday, and the
despicable character of its nominations for
Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions and
Coroner. We sympathize with the Age. All
its wise and good counsels have been ignored.
The worst rings and worst elements in the
organization have exercised potential infiu-
ence, and the fruits of their labors are so dis
graceful that it is ashamed to indorse them.
Partisan conventions in Philadelphia seem to
have outlived their usefulness, and the custom
of supporting Irregular nominations" should
be "more honored in the breach than in the
observance. The Republicans have done
badly in renominating six of the unpopular,
odious, faithless, and worthless Representa-
tives by whom they were disgraced last ses-
sion, and by suffering the Gas Ring to win
an unfair triumph in the nomination of
Houseman for Recorder of Deeds. But the
Democracy in spite of the remonstrances Of
their organs, have done still worse in their
conventions. The journals teem with protests
from their own delegates and candidates
against violence, mob rule, and fraud Their
q prize-fght or dog-pit, and have none of
the characteristics of deliberative assemblies
Their faithless representatives have been re-
nominated, and their city ticket proves only
that the men who compose it are the favorites
of the roughs and rowdies of Philadelphia.
Decent citizens may well shrink from the
entertainment to which partisan managers
would invite them; and if any combination of
outrages can incite the great body of we'll
meaning men who have at heart the public
welfare to rebuke the desperate and dis
honest schemers who have usurped control
of partisan machinery, there will be, this fall,
either more scratched" tickets than ''full'
ones voted, or, what is better still, new re-
form ticket; that honest men can conscien-
tiously sustain, will be formed and supported
by thousands of good citizens.
Two things are needed-a reduction or COM
mutation of the enormous fees of the Row
offices, and such an uprising of the people
as will emancipate them forever from the con-
troll of the existing race of ring-managers and
wire-pullers. The highest ambition of these
men is to plunder the community, and they
are as unquestionably predatory foes of So
ciety as pickpockets or burglars. The best
thing the city can do in the present election
is to thwart their Vaccinations at the polls, and
no mere party triumph can compensate tor
the evil results of another submission to their
dictation. The masses should sternly resolve
that their rights, interests, and liberties shall
no longer be gambled away by shameless in
riguers, and that their votes shall not be
regulated by the decisions of the blackguards
of the city.

7HE RELEAgE or KE7CgU1LI


EYFoBTs are now being made to procure the
release of Edward B. Ketohum, Jr., the New
York forger, whose crime, conviction, and
sentence, year or two ago, produced con-
siderable excitement. Ketchum was an infiu-
ential scoundrel, with money, friends and
social position to back him, and it was a
matter of some surprise that be did not es-
cape punishment altogether, and equally
surprise that he has not been released from
the penitentiary before this. He was yester-
day brought into the New York Supreme
Court on a writ of habeas corpus granted by
Judge Barnard, and the Commonwealth was
required to show cause why he should not be
released from prison. This certainly appears
to be high-handed measure on the part OF
the Judge, and the District Attorney very
properly remarked that the Court had no
right to interfere in the matter-the
sentence of the prisoner was the hnal
Judgment of competent tribunal. Judge
Barnard gave as his reason for granting the
writ, that he was convinced that the prisoner
had been sentenced for an offense of which he
had not been properly convicted What the
Governor of New York will have to say to
this usurpation of his functions by Judge
Barnard it is impossible to tell, for New York
law and justice are apparently things regu-
lated by no precedents. The Judge stated
that he would give his decision in day or
two, and from the tenor of his remarks yes
terday there is apparently little doubt that
he will order Ketchum's release. The New
York judges are anomalies in American
civilization: they appear to be invested with
~
and they bind and release at their own will
and pleasure, without being amenable to any
laws or responsible to anybody but them
selves. New York is certainly little ahead
of any other city in the country, at least SO
far as its Judiciary is concerned

GETTYSBNRG.

AMONG the historic battle-felds of the world
Gettysburg will always hold front rank, and
is fitting that the mighty deeds of which it
was the scene should be commemorated by
statuary, painting, and imposing ceremonies.
At Gettysburg, six years ago.. the power of the
Rebellion eliminated. There, for the first,
last, and only time, it appeared with imposing
power and majestic front on the soil of the
free States Its previous victories over the
Army of the Potomac had emboldened the
Southern advocates of the policy of invasion,
and its full strength was massed under its
greatest general TO strike decisive aggres-
sive blow, and to dictate such terms of peace
as would have insured the severation of the
republic, under the very shadows of Inde-
pendence Hall. If Lees anticipations had
been realized, the same spot which
gave birth to the infant nation
of 1776 might have witnessed the
destruction of the giant of 1868. For time
it seemed that his progress was irresistible.
With the flower and the chivalry of secession
under his banners, he crossed the Potomac,
marched through Maryland, and spread over
the rich counties of Southern Pennsylvania
without encountering a single obstacle. There
were thousands ready to fee before him, every
highway was blocked up with fugitives or
property sent forward to place of safety, but
not squad of soldiers dare dispute his
march. A grand and glorious future seemed
to loom up for the Confederacy, and its
leaders might well fancy, for the moment,
that all their brightest dreams were about to
be realized-that they were on the point of
not only gaining their coveted independence,
but also of humiliating the North forever.
BIN while the destinies of the whole nation
MD of mankind were thus trembling
in the balance, the war-worn sol
diers of the Union were hurrying to
the scene of action. Though dispirited
by previous defeats, and distracted by the dis
sensions Of rival generals, they fully compre-
>hended the perils of ''the situation, and,
desnite thousand difficulties, they were
ready when the onset was made at Gettysburg
10 present TO Lees legions band of foemen
worthy of their steel, and to hurl them back,
defeated and despairing, to their native South
ern soil. The desperate charges which Rebel
soldiers were induced to make against the
line lhey supposed to be defended by raw
"a BIZ we're resisted by the veterans ande

HUMPTY DUMPTY.-What we have said about the
pantomime now performing at the Arch Street
Theatre would lead our readers to believe that it
was an entirely innocent and unobectionable enter
tainment. We regret that the management have
fit to add since the first performance piece OF
nastness in the second act that cannot be condemned
in too severe terms. There is nothing in the piece
itself or the manner in which it is represented that
could give OIense, but in demonstrating" it a
liberty has been taken that ought to drive every
decent person from the theatre. We do not wish to
aude to the dsgracefu exhibition in too particular
terms, but we have said enough to warn the manage
ment and the public. The Arch is not a theatre
where such bold-faced blackguardism will be tole-
rated and if the affair we have referred to is con-
tinued, it will not only damage the success Of the
pantomime but will materially injure the reputation
OF the hOuSe

THE TRLSH CHURCH BILL.

The Tory members of the House of Lords
having arrived at the sapient conclusion that
they could not, with safety to themselves, kill
the Irish Church bill outright, are now en-
deavoring to smother it to death with amend
ments. They desire to either throw the re-
sponsibility of quarrel upon the House of
Commons, by making amendments that will
not be agreed to by that body, or to so alter
its essential features that it will be practically
imperative.
Yesterday, an amendment offered by Earl
Caernarvon, to make 1872 instead of 1871
the date of dsestablishment, was agreed to
by vote of $50 to a. The plea for this
alteration was doubtless to give more time
for the settlement of the affairs of the Church;
but there is very little doubt that the real
object was to gain more time, with a view, if
possible, of creating popular reaction
against the measure.
Independently of any conservative princi-
Piles, the Lords and Bishops see very plainly
that this is the first step towards the disesta-
blishment of the English Church, and not
improbably the adjustment of the heredtary
privileges of the House of Lords; ana having
now got over their first furry, they have gone
to work in systematic and practical manner
to render the bill nullity. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that the Ministry will have enough
frmness and craftsmanship TO fight the thing
out on the line that they have adopted, and
refuse to yield an inch of ground. The Eng
lish people are generally good while
making up their minds on mea-
sure of reform, but when they have once
decided in favor of matter of
this kind, there is not much likelihood that
they will recede. The members of the House
of Lords who expect reaction will doubtless
be grievously disappointed The disestablish-
ment of the Irish Church, Independently of
it's intrinsic justice, is looked upon as pro-
per and natural step towards the pacifcation
of Ireland; and the English dissenters who
are powerful and influential portion of the
nation, see init prospect that the great Eng
lish Church monopoly will be done away with,
and all denominations be placed upon an
equal footing.

The INTERNAL REVENUE. E.--Commissioner
Delano makes most satisfactory exhibit of
the internal revenue receipts for the last fiscal
year This tax is the most onerous and the
most difficult to collect, and while decent citi-
zens submit to it with certain amount of
complacency as an inevitable necessity,
hoping that the day is not far distant when it
will be done away with, if not altogether, yet
in great measure, it presents a grand field
for the rogues who prey upon the Govern
ment, and an immense amount is every year
diverted into private pockets.
Commissioner Rollins estimated that the
internal revenue receipts for this year would
amount to $4,000, 900. His expectations
have been more than gratifed, as the amount
actually paid in is $15S, ,2S7, 176'01 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1869.

The FRENCH CABLE.-The cable dispatches
published this morning, and dated from Brest
yesterday, inform us that up to Tuesday noon
the Great Eastern had run nine hundred and
twenty miles, and had paid out ten hundred
and thirty knots of cable. Her signals con-
tinue perfect, and the great work is progress
ing in the most satisfactory manner. 1t is
gratifying to know that the new cable is
being safely laid in its ocean bed without
accident or arrangement, but it is certainly
curious that the old cable is not more prompt
in giving us information about the Great
Easterns movements. II certainly cannot
take thirty-six hours to send message from
Brest to this side of the Atlantic Although
there is no excitement about the matter, there
is much interest felt in the new cables and
the delay in sending news of interest which
newspaper readers now endure is, indepen-
IDENTIFY of anything else, an excellent reason
for wishing speedy and successful termina-
tion Of the great enterprise now in progress.

ENLIGHTENMENT. The Salem witch perse-
cutions furnished Southern orators with a
number of very forcible stock arguments
against Northern free principles in the old
slaveholding days. The Yankees of the pre-
sent generation were made responsible for the
sins of their forefathers several centuries ago;
and because the old Salem Puritans burned
witches, it was considered a conclusive and
logical reason why Southern gentlemen
should hold negroes in bondage for all coming
time. The New Englanders, however, have
given over witch-burning for a good many
years, but their reproach appears to have
travelled to the south of Mason and Dixon's
line for we read that only few days
ago an old woman was presented as
witch by grand jury in Owen
county, Kentucky. The charge against her
was that she cast an evil eye on the neigh
bors' cattle, causing them to die by the score,
and that she affected the waters of the wells,
so that all who drank of them pined away and
died. 1t is certainly little remarkable that
a set of American jurors in the nineteenth
century could be found to make such pre-
sentiment as this, and it would probably be
impossible to collect twelve such fools to-
gether anywhere outside of the limits of the
late Confederacy. Cotton Mather and his
compeers will have to look out for their
laurels.
