Gen. Andrew w. Dennison, Pc,

Gen. Andrew w. DennisOn, Post
master of Baltimore city, died sud-
denly on Saturday morning. He
was in the prime Of life, and to all
appearance in robust health up to
the day of his death. Although a
comparatively young man, he had
achieved wide reputation as a gal
liant soldier and faithful public Of
ficer. For eight years he filled the
responsible position of Postmaster of
Baltimore, and died without u stain
upon his official character. The arm
less sleeve which hung Loose at his
side atested his devotion to his c0un-
try, and his gallantry on the battle
field.

WASHINGTON, October Is. There
has been great deal of anxiety am ong
Republican politicians as to the pros.
pect of a party division in the Senate
or in the House, and the possiblities
have been very carefully watched
There is large class of Republicans
who are very angry with the President
and they profess to base their opposition
on his action with respect to the South.
There is another class that give him a
hearty support ir almost all matters,
and there is still another class that
think the only hope of the Republican
party lies in union of all factions in
support of the Presidents policy, and
they have been busy impressiug their
sentiments upon the unruly party men
who have desired to raise a controversy.
The result Of all the talk is undoubted-
ly to produce some moderation of feel
ing and intentions, and it is not now
believed that any attack will be made
upon the President in the Senate or in
the House at this certainly
not in connection with the Southern
question. The Senators who have been
most conspicuous in their opposition do
not appear eager to engage in the con-
test, and it is very likely that they will
welcome considerable more delay to
enable tnem to consider further the
party and personal consequences of
carrying out whatever plans they may
have formed. Some shrewd politicians
predict a complete reuion Of the Re-
publican elements, because they regard
it as the only possible party policy
which can lead to any results in the
succeeding elections. The discussion
and controversy takes on many strange
and interesting phases and produces a
good deal of queer reasoning on all
sides.

The commission, with General Ter
ry at its head, which was recently sent
to the British American border by our
Government to have conference with
Sitting Bull and his hostile Sioux.
with a view of reaching a satisfactory
agreement with them for their return
to their reservation and for future
peace. has utterly failed in its object
The commissioners met the hostiles in
conference last week. and exchanged
"talk." Sitting Bull and others of the
Indians, male and female, were exceed
iGgly insulting in their remarks, re-
jecting all advances or propositions
looking to an amicable arrangement of
their grievances. 1t is very evident
that Sitting Bull and his entire band
are exceedingly "ugly,' and should
they recross the line from Canada
next Spring, as they probably will, we
may expect further trouble from them,

Democratic MeanneSS.

William E.Smith, the Republican.
candidate for Governor, has always
been regarded as strictly honorable
man He has been more or less in
public life and has uniformly dis
charged all his official duties with the
utmost fidelity. Wherever he is
known. no defence is necessary against
the charges which the Democratic
press is bringing against him at this
time. We only refer to the latest and
meanest of the lot, invented by the
Milwaukee Commercial Times, for the
purpose of showing the profligacy of
that sheet, and on what himsy pre-
text it has seen fit to denounce Mr..
Smith as forger, and to speak of him
as deserving felon's cell. The facts
which have furnished the groundwork
of this scandalous charge, as We learn
from the Wisconsin are as follows !:
"About year ago, Ira B. Smith, son
of VIM. E. Smith, with the aid of his
father, formed co-partnership with
Mr. Allen johnson, we'll known bu-
siness mar of Milwaukee under the
firm name of johnson, Smith & Co,
for the purpose of doing a strictly
commission business, VIM. E. Smith
having no active connection whatever
with the business. Some months ago,
Mr.. Torgen, citizen Of Rio, Wis,
specialized IN wheat through the name
of ohnson, Smith & Co., and got be-
hind in his s'margins.' The firm ad-
vanced him the money, for which he
agreed to give them his note when
wanted for raising money. When the
note was wanted, Mr.. johnson wrote
him to send it in, and it was sent, and
laid away in the safe of the firm.
Some days after, Mr.. johnson, having
occasion to use it at the bank, took it
out, and found, to his surprise, that
across one end, on the back, and as
near the edge as possible, was written,
This is given for margins" And as
this was not signed by any one, was in
a different handwriting from that Of the
note, and was contrary to the under
standing of Mr.. Johnson, he cut if off,
endorsed the note with the firm name,
put it In the bank and got the money
on it. Whatever may be said of this
act of Mr.. johnson, whether right or
wrong. it was In no sense done through
purpose of wronging any one, since the
firms endorsement made it responsible
for the note, and was really what made
it Of any account at the bank. VIM.
q. Smith knew nothing whatever oft;
and did not know that such note was
10 existence, as he has no connection
with the business of the firm or its
management. We are much mistaken
if this species of political warfare does
not help Mr.. Smith far more than it
will injure him. To their credit be
it said the more respectable portion of
the Democratic papers do not counte
nance the course of the Commercial
Times, but.leave to that paper and 9TH
ers of the satanic stripe monopoly Of
that mode Of conducting political cam

Democratic Violation Of the Registry
Law.

The registry law provides that ia the
case Of an unreg iStered voter who de-
sires to vote on election day, his oath
shall be sustained by that of two "free
holders" of the election district in
which he resides, corroborating in de-
tail the material statements of his own
affidavit. The Secretary of State,
however, in the instructions which he
has issued for the guidance of inspect
ors of election, has tranpled this provi-
sion of law under foot, and supplied a
form Of oath to be made In such cases
by "householders." Now. there is a
very material difference between a free
holder and house holder, and it would
be interesting to know by what author
lty Secretary Doyle has changed the
law SO as to make the oath Of house
holder answer the same purpose as if
made by free holder. The object of
the law was to secure greater purity in
elections. Under the old law, any
house holder could make the affidavit
required, and it was often as difficult a
matter after the election to find the
house holder, as it was the person
whom he had aided in casting the
fraudulent vote With free holder,
however, the case is different. He is
always known and cannot migrate so
conveniently if he wishes, as can the
house holder, and escape the penalty of
the law if he violates it.
This action of the Democratic Secre-
tary of State is of piece with the lille
gal course pursued by the Democratic
authorities in this city, and is but the
| natural outgrowth of the opposition
which Democrats last winter manifest
ed to the law when it was before the
Legislature. They voted solidly
against it then, because they want the
utmost freedom at elections, and the
chance to pull all the illegal votes they
can. They know that the registry law
If construed in good faith and carefully
observed, will lose to their party thous-
ands of votes in this state, and hence
they are determined to thwart its pro-
visions in all possible ways. It is the
duty of inspectors of election to pay no
attention to the instructions of the Sc
cretary of State in this or any other
particular wherein they conflict with
the law. If an unregistered voter
presents an affidavit made by persons
purporting to be house holders, the in
spectors should not receive it. 1t is
their duty to demand that the affidavit
be made by free holders. Indeed, if
they fail to do this, or if in any other
manner they violate the provisions of
the law, they "shall be punished for
each and every offence, by imprison-
ment in the state prison for not less
than one year."

FULL returns of the Iowa election
make better showing for the Repub-
licans than was at first supposed.
Their candidate for Governor has a
plurality $4,000 larger than their can
didate in the last off.year, and about
5000 larger than their candidate in
1875. The majority in the Legisla-
ture is larger than it has been for ma
ny years. This certainly shows no

SENATOR MERRIMoN, of North
Carolina, has introduced in the u. S.
Senate bill which if it becomes law
will pave the way to the payment of
pensions to the confederate soldiers,
their widows or heirs. He proposes to
wipe from the statute book the follow
ing section:
Sec 4,716, Nomoney on account of
pensions shall be paid to any person, or
to the widow, children, or heirs of any
deceased person; who in any manner
voluntarily engaged in or allotted the
late rebellion against the authority Of
the United States.
This is simply confirm atory of the
charge that if the Democrats come into
possession Of the Government, the SOL
diers OF the Union and confederate
armies will be placed upon an equal
footing. Southern papers proclaim this
to be their policy, and the action of
Senator Merrimon is conclusive that
the South intends to win at it if posi-
