every form of mafeasance in Office
has become a science under the tuition
of the veteran chief of the Harrisburg
Ring. his reputation has never suffered from
single breath of slander. His personal honor
is no less unstained than his polltical con-
sistency. From the birth of the Republican
party he has been its most untiring and
chivalrous champion. He only revolts from
the dictation of the men who have captured
the Republican organization to assist in saving
Republican principles.
In Difference to the wishes of those honor
able Republicans who. while adheIipg to Presi-
dent Grant, still desire to save the State from
the infamy of the election of Hartranft, Gov.
Curtin confines himself in this admirable let
ter to a discussion of the local contest. He
wisely chooses not to embarrass the gallant
campaign which Col. Forney and his
friends are making under the Repub-
lican flag, by any expression OF his
well-known aud settled convictions as to
the danger and impolicy of re6lecting Grant.
One war at q time-is q safe motto when the
war is as tremendous an affair as the present.
where positively all the intelligent honesty
and public spirit in the State are engaged I'D
death grapple with the Harrisburg Kng,
assisted by thousands of Oflice-holders anu
the plundered Treasury of the omteu
States. 1t is fight which calls ior
the best efforts of every one who cares
onvtbino for the good name of the Common
wealth. There has never been 30 snalno,o0o |"
campaign before. The Grant people arc co"o.-
ing that they will return whatever m'goii9
"is needed" from Philadelphia. Inc Aui,in-
istration is shipping negroes ike ca'.io
from Virginia and the District OF COiuilDia:
One herd of eighty has already arrived
in Blair County. Not less than five thou
sond are believed by Col. Mcclure to be on
their way. These projected Outrages upon the
boIIof-box are not denied or concealed. They
arc ayowed, and probably exaggerated, Dy
their perpetrators, to create the impression
that their triumph is certain.
But in spite of the power and the wealth OF
this desperate conspiracy there are enough
honest and independent men to save the
State. We have hitherto refrained from
making any predictions in regard to the Octo-
Der elections. But to-day we feel justified, IN
view of the assurances we have received from
widely different and intelligent sources, in
announcing to our readers that the redemp-
ton of Pennsylvania is sure. There Will
be an amount of bribery and fraud
such as was never seen before in all
its history. But there will not be enough to
overcome the verdict of the honest people,
and after the elections the courts and the pen
itentiaries will have their turn. The State is
safe now, and from this day the majority of
Buckalew will increase. Within week the
great War Governor will be on the stump; the
fruit of the Summers work will begin to be
seen the refuge of thieves which seemed to
be impregnable will be shown to be as weak
as Wrong always is in a square fight with
RIGHT.

New-York tribune., 1872-09-24

A few weeks ago THE TRIBUNE, intending
In follow I'D the series of articles which 1t
has published during the past year, drawn
from actual experience, observation, ana, III
some instances, the sufferings OF Its own re-
porters, and which have materially aided to
reform Jail and asylum abuses, as well as TO
correct fraudulent practices in several import
ant trades, selected O reporter to go TO Europe
and return to this port in the steerage OF one
of the main lines which bring emigrants here,
with instructions to write plainly the story OF
the passage. Happily, however, before any
reporter had sailed, a correspondent OF 1he
London Ne,os arrived from Liverpool, dis
patched by the managers of that journal on
the same errand, and having mailed to his
employers his account, he offered duplicate
for simultaneous publication in this country.
Glad to cooperate in such worthy work with
The Ne,rS, THE TRIBUNE accepted the Offer
But before publishing the matter 1T was sug-
gested that much more relative to the treat
ment of immigrants in this country might be
added with advantage, and the correspondent
was engaged to complete his work by passing
through Castle Garden, examining an emigrant
boarding house, and taking trip by rail in
an emigrant train as far as Buffalo. The COM
munication to The Ne,0S has been published in
England, and telegraphic advices inform us
that considerable excitement was created by
its appearance, "scOres of correspondents add
"ing testimony to the abuses and sufferings
"to which steerage passengers are subjected,
" and demanding immediate reform. Sir John
" Duke Coleridge and other distinguished
"jurists are advocating In the newspapers
" codiication or digest of the English laws,
" similar to the Code of NewYOrk, which
" they praise highly" The story told in even
greater detail and at greater length will be
given in to-morrow's TRIBUNE. The United
States has copied the English shipping laws
for the protection of seamen, and they are
now in successful application in this port
That reform was the result of agitation begun
by single individual who personally exam
ined the abuses of seamen in this port. If
England is induced, by these exposures, to
adopt our superior laws for the benefit of
emigrants, a great gain for humanity will
have been secured.

Once more we remind our friends in Ohio and In
diana Of the Importance of giving energetic sup
port to the antiGrant State tickets in October. II
they blindly adhere to the regular Administration
nominees in the State election there is grave danger
that the votes which they mean TO give Mr.. Greeley
in November may come too late. II the Liberal and
Democratic union for reform means anything it must
show itself in the election of Hendricks in Indiana
and Wiley in Ohio. Do MT wait till the eleventh

At the mass meeting in Cooper Institute
Hall, last night many wise and good things
were said in favor of honest municipal gov
ernment. The assembly, which was called by
the Council Of Political Reform, was so fully
attended as to show that the principle, "hon-
"est and competent men for Office" has firm
hold ON the people. And we cannot too often
or too forcibly remind our fellow citizens that
unceasing vigilance must be exercised by them
if they really want men of integrity and
ability in the public Offices They should not
be discouraged in their efforts to secure this
selection because the Council was last year
misled and deceived by self-seeking and de-
signing men. The Reform Legislature was
bitter disappointment and failure
but the principle which moved the
people in the great uprising. mnst still

Mr.. Cravens, the Liberal Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket
with Hendricks, in Indiana, is quoted as ex-
pressing the opinion that we shall carry that
State by not less than 10000 majority in 0ctO-
Der. 1t is of the utmost Importance, however,
that our friends in Indiana should not mistake
enthusiasm for organization and, above all,
should not permit honest Liberal Republican
votes to be killed by swindling Grant votes
thrown by men cOlonized from Kentucky.

Private dispatches from indianapolis inform
us that the demonstration there, last night,
upon the arrival of Mr.. Greeley, exceeded any
thing ever seen since the time of Lincoln. As
our candidate continues his journey his recep-
tions constantly increase in brilhancy and fer
vor; this is partly due to the rapid growth in
Liberal sentiment as the campaign draws nearits
close, and partly to the admirable and inspiring
speeches with which Mr.. Greeley has marked
every step of his progress. His astonishing
readiness and tact have never been put to so
exacting a test, and have never gained more
complete success. We have the best speakers
and the best thinkers in the nation on our
side; but it seems as if the Liberal candidate
would put himself at the head of them all
before the campaign closes.
New-York tribune., 1872-09-24

Non-professional people will be surprised at
the sudden termination of the case against
Forester the alleged murderer of Benjamin
Nathan. But the Identification of the accused
by Miss Keenan, furnished only one link in
chain of circumstantal evidence which did
not reach far; and the breaking down of the.
examination was inevitable, since no other
evidence was forthcoming. Whatever may be
Forreste1's fate as far as the debt of confne-
ment he owes the Illinois Penitentiary is con-
cerned, his connection with the Nathan muir
der seems broken. And that painful mystery
is remanded to the limbo of darkness.
New-York tribune., 1872-09-24

OF course it was to be expected that the
Grant organ would accuse Mr.. Herman of every
crime known to the Newgate calendar, but
nevertheless it must have surprised most people
who were in America during the Rebellion to
hear him called a COpperhead and an oppo-
nent of the war. The Times did that very
thing yesterday, and so by way of showing
what The Times was when it said those
things, we print extracts from Mr.. Kernan's
war record from the beginning to the end of
the Rebellion, showing that his action in every
emergency was that of loyal and high
spirited patriot who held the preservation of
the Union and the honor of the flag above any
partisan OF personal interest.
New-York tribune., 1872-09-24

The Mayoralty election this year is scarcely
less important than the election for Governor
The whole country is looking to New-York to
see if our great Reform movement is to be
sustained or is to degenerate into shameful
farce. The Custom-house is secretly working
for Jimmy O'Brien. The candidate to be sup
ported by decent people has not yet been pre-
sented. 1t is not likely that there Will be any
mistake. At time like this, the place Is
worthy of the best ambition of any man IN
New-York. 1t is not probable that any one vi

toned in connection with the offce VIII ue-
cline it. 1t will not be given to any one for
the asking Mr.. Havemeyer has been prom-
nently mentioned and has many trends ana
some valuable qualifications for the place.
though for obvious reasons he would not re-
ceive that universal support OF all good cltl-
zens which would be desirable. Mr. Il. A.
Witthaus would be a still better candidate, as
he is absolutely unobjectionable from every
point of view but he does not desire the
office. and would accept it with great reluc-
tance and only from an imperative sense OF
duty. The Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt would
also be a very strong candidate lie ls an
old New OlkcI, university hhONht VI ''N"
less character, and an early and consistent
Reformer. Mr.. Alexander y. Stewart would
carry great weight, not only from his COM
mandng position in the commercial world,
but from his proverbial and unquesnoned
integrity. Mr.. Schel, if he should think the
position compatible with his other engrossing
engagements, would make an excellent Mayor.
The Hon. James S. Thayer has also been men
toned for the nomination, and it would DC
hard to find better name. None OF these
gentlemen are candidates, and not one OIL
them could accept the position without serious
personal sacrifices, but these sacrifices wouid
doubtless be willingly made if they were shown
to be necessary. Besides these most. proml-
nent names, there are many others TO winch
no exceptions could be taken. The TRIBUNE
has no candidate to propose, but will SUSTAIN
