U1RTPINET AGAIN

1t was fully our intention so far to obge
our PENNSYLVANIA friends as to give them the
views we, disinterested strangers, have of the
new Hartranft complications. We refer to
those to which the testimony of so stanch a
Republican as Senator Bllingfelt relates, but
our good intent is intercepted by the excul-
patory demonstration yesterday made by the
Custom-house organ here. Besides some mild
and exceedingly inconclusive editorial effu-
sions as to the Presidents real estate opera
tons at Chicago, which leave the matter very
much as it was before, The Times has broad
side of Pennsylvania, or, rather, Philadelphia
apologies. Space enough is given to Pennsyl-
vania affairs to justify the confidence Of the
State Committee, and to reconcile Philadel-
phia herself to being called the "flthiest cityn
in the world. The Hartranft defense consists
of statement by Mr. Cooper, a
speech by Mr.. Swope (by MS misprinted
Beecher, his name being Bucher), and a still
more elaborate one by ex-Attomey- General
Brewster. We must say they reveal pretty
state of things in Pennsylvania, as now adj
ministered, in which Governors and Auditors
General and Claim Agents are mingled in
the strangest confusion. Gov. Geary appoints
Evans (Mr. Kembe's friend) to collect War
claims. lie succeeds, and before his accounts
are settled, Hartranft, wishing to buy a little
more land in Montgomery County, bouOws of
him $1,000 and then suspecting some sinister
object in the loan, refunds il. Then Hart
ranft prosecutes Evans, has him SwOpe adju-
rante, tracked by the Federal detectives, and
arrested here in New-YOTk. Gov Hoffman
surrenders him, lie is carried back to Harris
burg and thence, owing to some thimble-
rigging which we confess ourselves unable to
comprehend, he is discharged, and no one
hears Of him again. In all this Hart
ranft, except in the little matter of
the loan, figures as the viglant, ag-
gressive public officer. In twenty years.

WHICH WILSONf

In 1856, Mr.. Wilson ran for Congress
against Mr.. English in the lid District of In
diana, and was beaten. This Wilson was O
Know Nothing, and made very beastly speeches
in denunciation Of Roman Catholics and for
eigners. Those speeches, or extracts there
from, have since been reproduced and attrib-
uted to Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, and to
the Hon. j. NJ Wilson, now in Congress from
Indiana. whereas neither was theirauthor. The
TRIBUNE has repeatedly vindicated the Hon.
Henry Wilson from the unjust aspersion. Now
we are paid for it by the following telegram
to The Times:
WASHINGTON, d. C., Sent 15-During the present can
vass TIE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE has repeatedly attributed
to Mr. Wilson O speech against foreigners which he
made.
THE TRIBUNE has never alluded to that
wretched stuff, except to vindicate Henry
Wilson from the unjust imputation that he Is
responsible for it. Mr.. Colfax long since,
through our columns, pointed out the true au-
thor, in indicating himself from the charge
that he was the man.

MORE ABOUT YERUONT.

A journal which ought TO know something
about figures (0f small denominations )-since
it was first responsible for the Red Postage
Stamp Thief, and the last to give him up
accuses THE TRIBUNE Of tampering with
Figures in the remarks we made the other
day about the Vermont election. We showed
that since 1863 the Grant Republicans have lost
nearly 900 votes, and the Democrats in alliance
with the Liberals have gained over $500. 10
demonstrate this We compared the vote OF
this year with the Presidential election OF
1868. That is cheat says the Red Postage
Stamp Vindicator: you ought to have made
your comparison with the State election OF the
same year; you would then have found a net
Democratic gain of only LIZA.
But if it is unfair to compare the figures OF
State and National campaigns, it is only for
two reasOns-One that in State elections the
results are governed somewhat by local con-
siderations, the other that the vote at the
Presidential election is the heavier. In this
case however, the vote this month in Vermont
was 1000 in excess of Grants vote in 1868,
the heaviest previously polled. If we compare
it with anything, we must compare it with the
vote which approaches it nearest in size, and
that was the vote Of November, 1868. AS for
the local considerations influencing local cleo
tions, they were in this case all in favor of
our opponents. 1t is well known that in Yer
mont and many of the other States the full
Liberal strength will not be shown till Novem-
Der. There are thousands of dissatisfied Re-
publicans who support the regular party ticket
for State officers, but mean to vote for Greeley
afterward; while the Administration has made
every imaginable effort to bring out all their
adherents in September and October, for the
sake of the moral effect which large majorites
would have had upon the subsequent and more
important contest. The comparison which we
made therefore was made in the only fair and
reasonable way, and we have certainly good
reason TO be satisfied with the result.

LNLnRY PLNS INSULT.

n the Postmaster-General is not too busy
electioneering for his master, we desire him
to take some measures TO compel his under
lings to do their duty, or to resign their
places. It is not the business, we believe, OF
Deputy Postmasters to guide the newspaper
taste of their neighborhOod, and it. is their
business to deliver newspapers according to
their direction. Now, Mr.. p. NJ. c., there is
one of your men at Point Pleasant, Ocean
Co.. New-Jersey, who has gone into the busi-
ness Of meddling with our business. The
other day, when one of our subscribers called
for his TRIBUNE, he was presented by the
Postmaster with q copy Of The NaQ-I0rb
Times, and was informed that THE TRIBUNE
had not been received.
Now, in the first place, we believe that this
Z. NJ. told falsehOod, and that TIE TRIBUNE
for our subscriber iraS received. In the second
place he was an impudent fellow for offering
The ~ 7. Times in the place of The TRIBUNE
"A stone instead of good, wholesome bread.
1t must add greatly to the aggravatiOn of not
receiving newspaper which one does want,
to be rendered a newspaper which most de-
cidedly one does not want We would say
nothing of our own injury, but we dare say
other Liberal journals fare no better than we
do. Grantism has great many unpleasant
peculiarities, but this meddling with the mails
seems to us the least fragrant of all.

RATHER STRONG ELECuOYEERfyG

Fhe Grant and Wilson missionaries who
have been teaching the freedmen that Mr..
Greeleys election would be the signal for
their compulsory return to bondage will have
number of murders to answer for be-
fore the election is over. One story told in
The Jackson Olss) Clarion will illustrate this ;
and here it is
James Hendley, colored man, residing near
Winchester, in Wayne County, while return
ing to his home, was shot, and was dead in
fifteen minutes. The Enterprise Courier de-
clares that according to public opinion, the
murder was committed by negro, and that
the only conceivable prOvocation was that the
victim had espOused the cause of Greeley and
Brown. 1t appears that Hendley had for sew
-eral years been an active Republican, and was
last year elected to the Radical State Conven-
ton, in which he took a conspicuous part.
The Clarion asserts that "a system of ter
"rorism and murder has been put into opera
" tion by the Loyal Leaguers CGranttes)
against the colored men to deter them from
"exerising their right to vote as they prefer
Gin the Presidential election 1t was the
duty of the Grant missionaries to rebuke this
murderous fanaticism. Have they dOhe i'll
From Henry Wilson and William Lloyd Gar
rison clear down to Fred. Douglass and Wer-
dell Phillips, have they done itY Quite the
contrary, as everybody knows. These per-
sons, who are supposed to have the ear of
the freedmen at command, use their power
only to pour into it reckless and poisonous
suggestions of dreadful things including re-
enslayement, which will happen to the colored
race in the event of Mr.. Greeley's election.
They hint TO passionate and ignorant tools
the violence which they are themselves too
prudent to undertake. They are making
trouble now-we solemny predict that they
will make infinitely more should this policy of
promoting hate not be abandoned.

TILE CREDIT MORLILER.

Messrs Dawes, Wilson, and Blaine have sew
orally denied that they ever received the shares
in "The Credit MOlrilier of America" which
Col. II. S. McComb swears that Oakes Ames
told him had been appropriated to them. The
Others equally implicated will doubtless do
likewise. 1t is what every man, so accused, is
sure to do.
Now let the Hon. Cakes Ames come to the
front. He was here last week, and at any
rate is close at hand. He knows what Nc
Comb has sworn, and what letters are given
by McCOmb as having been sent him by Oakes
Ames aforesaid. These letters plainly indi-
cate that Ames was using at Washington the
stock of the "Cr6dit Mobiler" to influence
official action in favor of that COmpany's in
terests The list given by McComb as shown
him by Ames is an important part of the case.
1t does not prove that Messrs. Dawes, Wilson,
Blaine, &C., ever took anything for their ac-
ton or forbearance in the premises it does
subject them to very grave' suspicion. They
must know that the case cannot rest here
that it must and will be turned inside out.
Will they compel 0akes Ames TO come for
ward Apparently he has been making very
free with their names and regulations. Why
not constrain him 10 go before the proper tri-
bunal, and at least contradict McComb's testi-
mony, and either deny or explain the letters
TO which his name is signedl
Gentlemen whose names are on the black
list make Oakes Ames speak out His mere

ANSVERIN6 d FOOL ACCORDING TO HIS
FOLLY


The Erenig Post pretends to believe that
it has a controversy with U.S. and 1t says:
That controversy regards simply Gen. Dix's Cooper
Institute speech at the meeting Of the War Democrats In
1854 and whether THE TRIBUNE has honestly and fairly
reported what lie then said 1t has nothing whatever to
do with what Cen Dix may have said assented TO in
some other yea under conditions and circumstances Of
totally difere1t character THE TRBOSE shall not be
allowed to escape by raising that new issue"
We have no controversy with The Post. 1t
has demonstrated its utter inability to hold a
discussion with anybody on any subject; for
it has neither enough intelligence nor enough
honesty. But we have put some pointed in
quiries to The Posts friend, Gen. Dix, and
those inquiries, we say once more, have no
relation to is speech or his opinions in 1854,
and never had any, aud The Post, stupid as
ii is, knows that they never had any; but
they refer to his Secession sentiments in 1860,
and particularly to the address of December
IS of that year, from which we quoted yes
teIday. In that address Gen. Dix professed
the same sentiments which he rebukes Mr..
Greeley for having held about the same period; !;
aud the only connection which the speech of
1864 has with the matter is that in this later
speech he acknowledged having previously
held those Secession views.
Roaring at deaf man who has mislaid his
ear-tIumpet is mere recreation compared with
the exertion of trying TO make The Post un-
derstand But in fact the misunderstanding
is willful. The Post, since it resumed the
Administration livery, has surpassed even The

IL there has been a doubt about the vote of
Ohio in October, it has sprung solely from the
slight remaining uncertainty as to the dispO-
sition of the large German element in the
southwestern part of the State We take it
that the ringing declaration of Mr.. Frederick
Hassaurek, formerly United States Minister to
Ecuador, the ablest German orator in
Cincinnati, and second only Gf to any to
one other in the United States, in favor of
the Cincinnati ticket, is likely to conclude
that question. Mr.. Hassaurek is likewise the
editor Of one of the most widely circulated
German papers in the United States. His
open declaration in favor of Greeley and
Brown cannot fail to secure the triumph of
the Liberal ticket in the October election in
Cincinnati and Hamilton County; and our
best advised friends insist that that is the
triumph of the same ticket throughout the State.
Set down Ohio for Greeley and Brown; and
this last indication as the conclusive proof
that, whatever disaffection may have existed
among the Germans Of the West, it is wholly
wiped out in their resolve now to assure by
their cordial support the triumph of the party
they were so largely concerned in organizing.

Heavens! Let all ladies who wear deceitfullocks

his mind to this subject, and who announces that
every hair in a false plait ends with nodosity;
each nodosity contains fifty "psorosperms = and
each psorosperm throws off minute spheres which
become "pseudonavicelle." But this is by no means
the end of bad matter. The pseudo-nayicele IN

Tweed, O'Brien, and Andrew j. Garvey are
said to have been the most miserable men in
New York on Thursday night, contemplating
a great public meeting and parade made sue
cessful without their aid and their decorations.
When his friend Murphy saw the 5000 mem-
bers of the Eighteenth Ward Clubs marching
from O'Brien's stronghold to Tammany, he is
said to have Withdrawn his promise to indorse
the Senator's nomination for Mayor but it is
understood that O'Brien has since prevailed
on Mr. Murphy (using the Senator's elegant
language) to nominate a Dummy Republican
81 like Jackson Schultz and run me out of his
"boxesn Mr.. Tweed amused himself with
dispatching a circular letter to his friends urg-
ing them to remain away from the meeting. His
few faithful remaining confederates like
O'Brien and Murphy appear to have taken
his advice, but in the great crowd they were
not missed. AS for Garvey, he sighed as the
conviction forced itself upOn him that his
famous art was not absolutely necessary to
the success Of a New-York political demon
stration. And so all three turned for comfort
next morning to The Times, which was the
only paper in the city little, false, and un-
faithful enough to its patrons positively to
misrepresent meeting and speakers.
