What VIII he do with the AttOruey-GeneraIe
The Pittsburg Commercial on Saturday morn
ing furnished its readers with the following
editorial:-
We have spoken Of the position of perfect in
dependence in which the election of Tuesday last
places Governor Geary We hope, we believe
that he will maintain this elevated position
But be will need a force of character and power
OF will capable of great things TO Withstand the
pressure soon TO be eXerted upon him. Indeed
the attack has already commenced.
The faction which most insidiously fought the
Governor for nomination is displeased with his
Attorney-General, and demand that he be kicked
out, Simon Cameron says he must go-that
there must be no standing on the order of his
going, but that ne must go at once. Philadel-
phia, it is true, appears to have sustained the
Attorney-General in the war made on him, by
Covode nominally, by faction really. No mat
ter. The Attorney-General himself desires to
retire at the end OF his term next January, we
have been informed, and does not expect or
wish to remain in Office longer. No matter.
Cameron says he must go now. We say to
Governor Geary, do the bidding of your would
be master, and do it quickly, or demonstrate to
the great party which has just again honored
you with its confidence, that you have no mas
ter.
Our opinion is that the Hon. b. F. Brewster,
after his retirement from official life, could
proftably-for the party, if not for himself
write and publish the political biography of his
late friend-the friend of twenty years--but now,
it seems, his savage foe. We think Brewster
well qualified for this work, and, in the Ian
guage of Horace Greeley, "it would be mighty
interesting reading" Let's have it, Brewster.

hymn; and really believe that the same excuse
must be made for any one born of the house OF
Hanover. The men at any rate OF that family
have pdntOur db beau sec to such a degree, that
we can only say of them that lit is their nature
to-" Not one, but fifty are the scandals in this
respect that crop up respecting the Prince OF
Wales, on account Of his course OF life in Lon
don.
His brother, the Duke of Edinburgh, is, il is
generally believed, quite as bad, If not worse;
but being an unmarried man. the sin is not so
great. And the same is said of Prince Arthur,
the young Prince now in Canada, thongh in very
much less degree. The Prince il is true, is not
the brutal, coarse sensualist that George l and
George II were, nor is he the "betrayer oil
women" that George ~ was, but that he is
much and even shamelessly given to the follow,
ing of light women there can be no doubt; ana
that all his companions are unmarried noble
men, leading the most openly shameless lives, Is
patent to every one living in London, or even
in England.
Pho effect of his Royal Highness' example is
gradually but very surely telling upon the
morals of the higher and middle classes of the
land. Half dozen years ago sins against the
seventh commandment, even IL the sinner was
an unmarried man, were forbidden topics in all
decent society, ana utterly tabooed wherever
ladies were present BUTT is, am sorry to say,
far otherwise now. We are fast getting as bad
nay, even worse, than in France. In that
country young and unmarried women, at
any rate arc supposed to be Ignorant
of much OF the sin that is going on
around them, at least sins of a certain
kind; but in England you hear girls of eighteen
or twenty talking as coolly about the amours
of the Earl of This or Lord George That as they
might respecting perfectly lawful tirtation;
and what is worse still, the crime OF adultery is
now so very common and talked so openly
about, that people begin to lose their horror of
the offense. In short as l heard an American
gentleman say not long ago Che had formerly
resided several years in England, but had been
absent from the country for the last eight or nine
years., the morals of England in 1860 and in 1869
are about as different as il is possible to imagine

Tie Athletics Against the Famous Red Stock
ings in Cincinnati.
Despatch 10 The EUeni,lg Telegraph.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1S The talk of the streets
last night was the contest that is to break or
render imperishable the long chain of victories
that our Red Stockings have stretched from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The Athletics, of Phila-
delphia, have come with a full and famous nine
for a last effort to tighten up the shadow which
has been thrown upon all Eastern ball playing
by the brilliant successes of our boys. The
Athletic nine arrived this morning, and are in
flrst-class trim. The "Reds" have had two days
rest since their long trip from San Francisco,
and are in the finest gladiatorial condition.
Allen mud COyne,
in training at the Buckeye House, were objects
of interest yesterday to a crowd of visitors.
Allen is to fight McCoole on the 10th of Novem-
ber, and Coyne is to fight Reardon on the 24th
Both fights are to take place within fifty miles
of this CITY.

Despatch to The E0ening Telegraph
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-Andrew Johnson
did not go to Franklin on Saturday after all, and
the knowing ones have it that he was too busy
electioneering in Nashville to risk going out of
town. He was on the street and around the
hotels during the day, and the general report is
that he was working briskly for the main chance.
The opposition are straining every nerve to
defeat him, and ever and anon the rumor gets
out that Andy cannot possibly be elected. John
sons friends however, are confident, and thus
the matter rests.
The city is crowded with persons to witness
the races.

Gen. Sherman has entered upon the du.
ties of Secretary Of War. He has been
commissioned as pro TEN officer, which
enables him to Gil the place until his sue.
cessor is decided upon. Under the law pro
yiding for an ad interim appointment he
could only have held the appointment for
10 days. The latter law was passed to pre-
vent President johnson from making such
appointments, and now it is found to work
badly. The pro tempore commission ap
points him until the end Of the next session
of Congress. The law does not prevent him
from holding the two offices Of General and
Secretary of War, but be must select which
salary be will accept.
