Senator Wade says if the Ohio election could be held over again to-morrow, warned ol our danger, we should carry the State by mere than fifty thousand, and characteristically adds: "We certainly shall do this next fall if we stand firmly by the great and Godlike principla of equal and exact justice to all men.

But even defeat on such a principle is better than victory on eny other, and final defeat on this principle is as impossible as that a God of Justice should cease to rule the world." Senator Sherman says: "We will learn wisdom from our defeats. We must insist upon greater economy in public expenditures. We must enforce our revenue laws. We must cease to quarrel among ourselves."

It is rumored that New Yorkers interested in the Maryland and Delaware railroad, contemplate building a branch road connecting with the main stem at Eastou. and running through Royal Oak, St. Michaels, and down along the bayside. From Eastou to Oxford (the termination of the main line) is about twelve miles, and from Eastontosay the Mineral Spring wharf on the bay shore is about the same distance. The grade Irom Easton along the bayside is better than on the line to Oxford, and hence a railroad may be very cheaply constructed.

Morrill, SUN. tLJLJLLJ Projects for Cheapening and Nationalizing Railways On Thursday night a meeting was held at the Cooper Institute, New York, to consider what action should be taken in relation to tha expression of public opinion on the three national railroad bills now before Congress. At eight o'clock the chair was taken by Freeman Clark, of Rochester. On the platform were many leading citizens, including Peter Cooper and Judge Daly. The chairman introduced Judge Sherwood, of Texas, who stated that the bills now before Congress, introduced by Senators Harlan, Nye and Henderson, are designed to take the initiative in the establishment of a national system of cheap freight railways, under congressional legislation, whereby the great natural freight thoroughfares of the country msy have common trunks laid down from the interior to the seaboard, and M-hereby the local roas already built may extend their commerce to the sea.

That the common trunk roads be opened to free competition in transportation, as much so as the Erie canal, any other company or individual being allowed to put on inspected rolling stock and to engage in the business of carrying freight and passengers by conforming to the rules adopted by the proprietors. The trunk roads to provide a sinking fund to reimburse the cost, aud, like the Erie canal, be ready in less than forty years to be dedicated to the free use of the public. These roads to be built for cash, to have no fictitious stock. Resolutions were adopted appointing committee to investigate the subject and to report at the next meeting. Letters approving the proposed project were read, from Secretary Seward, Governor Fenton, A.

Gans, president of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, W. F. Otis, president of the Cleveland Board of Trade, and several others. The bills no before Congress propose, first, a road. SCO miles common trunk, to be called the "Galveston, Eansas and Little Rock railway;" second, a freight thoroughfare from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, with terminii at Ne York, Philadelphia and Boston ultimately to be extended to the Pacific; third, a coal thoroughfare from the Eastern Shore of New Jersey to the mines of Pennsylvania.

Bills are also being prepared for introduction at the reassembling of Congress for a railway on the freight plan from the harbor of Beaufort, S. to Raleigh, N. thence to Cumberland Gap, branching from some proper point to Wytheville, a railway connecting with the Georgia State road at Atlanta, and thence to Savannah or Brunswick. The subject of an Atlantic branch of the Union Pacific railroad, or an air-line road from the Atlantic ocean to St. Louis, Missouri, is also discussed.

The proposition is to start this line from a point on the southern side of James river to Petersburg, thence in a direct line to Lynchburg, Campbell county, Pattonsburg, Botetourt county, Covington, Allegany county, Lew-isburg, Greenbrier county, Boone Court-House, Boone county, Anacoina county and Burning Springs, Logan county, West Virginia. Logan county adjoins Kentucky, and is about 850 miles west of Richmond. From Burning Springs it is proposed to pass through Johnson county, through Winchester, Lexington and Louisville in that State; from New Albany to Viacen-nes, Indiana, and through Illinois to St. Clair county, and thence to St. Louis.

Visit to Buchanan. During the visit of the Philadelphia firemen to Lancaster, last week, they paid their respects to ex-President Buchanan, at They were cordially received and invited to the hospitalities of hi3 house. Two of the companies presented him with a beautiful badge each, thus making him an honorary member of both. The Philadelphia Mercury says: A very pleasant interchange, as familiar as though an aged father was talking to his children, took place, in which Mr. Buchanan said of the past, that in looking over the names of the members of Congress when he was first elected to that body, but one remains beside himself, and that person is Mr.

Andrew Stewart, of Fayette county. Of the companions of his youthful days, he (Mr. Buchanan) was the only one left, and that now he looks more to the past tban the future. "You are gentlemen, and the stability of the country must depend upon you. If you will only exhibit the wisdom of those who lived in the earlier days of the republic 1'ou will have reason to thank God for It." One of the gentlemen present asked Mr.

Buchanan his age, to which the sage replied: "lam in my 77th year. I was 76 years old on the 26th of last April." Upon parting, Mr. Buchanan shook each visitor by the hand, and expressed a reverential hope that God would bless them all. Fort McHenry Repaired, Armed and Garrisoned A Sensation Spoiled. There has been: much loud whispering within the past few days -in reference to the arming and garrisoning of Fort McHenry through a recent order of General Grant, Acting Secretary of War.

The rumors were that the fort was being got ready for some "great event," and the loud-mouthed mongers, of course, knew all about it. The Washington Ex press says: The facts of the matter are, that several days ago the War Department shipped ten Rod men guns and a battery of light artillery to Fort; McHenry, in Baltimore harbor. An order has also been issued ordering two companies of the 4th artillery to duty at Fort McHenry. The iact is also announced that Fort Mcllenry has been much improved and repaired. All this is hut naturalthe regular order of things in the War Deparlment.

The sensation rumor Is spoiled bv our reporter being able to state the fact that the two companies take the place of two others; that the Rodman guns are being sent to all the forts, and that old Fort McHenry was not repaired, cleat ed up and improved a day too soon either for the honor of the government or the sanitarv condition of the garrison there posted, Gen. Grant and Drj Liebeb. Dr. Lieber, ot New York, lately of the Bureau of Rebel Ar chives, says he wrote to Gen. Grant congratu lating him upon his success, and saying that it was rarely that history had ever devolved upon one man so many great civil and military respoa-eibilnies.

Gen. Grant's reply, according to the Philadelphia Post, is the most radical be has ever written. In it he says he trusts he may have strength to answer any responsibility that may devolve upon him; no matter how solemn it may be, he will not hesitate to accept it if the country demands it, from which it is interpreted that he will accept a nomination for the rreei-dency.

Smith, Peirson West, independent detectives, of this city, and stated that be had been robbed of worth of diamonds and watches. That he reached Pittsburg from Cincinnati and immediately took the train for Baltimore; that he had his valuables in a traveling bag, which he took into the car with him, and placed it under his seat. He alleged that after the train started he fell as-loep, and continued to sleep aud doze until he reached AUoona, when he had occasion to open his traveling bag, which he lotind apparently in the same position in which he hid left it, and was surprised to find that instead of the valuables which be had been so the bag contained only packages ot rice and sugar.

The carpet sack had been exchan2el for one almost exactly similar, and it was also evident that the thief had prepared it for the purpose. 1 he gf ntleman was of the opinion that he waa followed Irom Cincinnsri or St. Louis, but is at a loss to krow how the thief or thieves obtained a knowledge of the contents of his I (raveling satchel. The officers are ol course on the lockout fcr the guilty party. Ccvncil Nominations.

M. J. Spalding, Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore and Primate of the United States, returned to this city on Saturday afternoon from a six months' trip to Europe, whither he had journeyed, at the invitation of Pope Pius to participate in the canonization of Saints, which took place at Rome, on the 29th of June last, with great pomp and magnificence. Yesterday morning, iu accordance with an invitation extended to the clergy and laity, the Cathedral was densely filled by the congregation, to extend to the Archbishop a welcome on his return. The form oi greeting ol welcome was ecclesiastical, in accordance with the rubrics of the church.

About 10 o'clock the clergy, in cassocks aud surplices, numbering about 70, preceded by sane tuary boys and a cross-bearer, and followed by the Archbishop in full vestments, with mitre and crozicr. marched irom the rear of the archepisco-pal residence, through the south yard of the Cathedral to the main entrance of the edifice, chanting during the passage. On passing iuto the edifice, the orchestra attached to the choir played a grand march composed by Prof. Rose-wald for the occasion. The clergy passed within the sanctuary, taking EC8ts in the two side altars, and along the communion rail.

The altar was brilliantly lighted and adorned with flowers. The chanting of psaln in Latin then took place, after which the Archbishop took the episcopal seat. Rev. Dr. Charles I.

White then, from the high altar, delivered the addressof welcome He, on behalf of the clergy and laitv, welcomed home the father of the fleck from his journey to the Eternal City, whither be had gone to participate in the grand celebration of the canonization. When-setting out on hia journey there were many apprehensions among the faithful that the bodily infirmities of the beloved Bishop would prove an obstacle to the carrying out of lans for the greater glory of God with which was inspired, and it isa subject of fervent thanksgiving that he has now returned with renewed health end renewed inspiration from the head of the church. The reverend gentleman said: Op feelings are not those of fulome admiration, but of veneration lor a record of a life devoted to religion and to the extension of church ii'fiuences. Our Bishop has proved himself a wise and faithful servant, and the Lord hath made him.great among His people. The wisdom, energy, and moderation which have marked his administration have endeared him to all, whilst the lifht of his genius in the vindication ol the Catholic faith and the spreading of Catholic literature has extended his name over Christendom.

May he live many years to preside over the councils of the church, and give his aid to her interest, and when hia life is ended in this world, may he receive the crown of everlasting glory. The- Archbishop, from the episcopal chair, said that, he returned his most heartfelt thanks to his beloved brethren of the clergy and children of the laity for the cordiality of his welcome. He was the more pleased with this form of greeting, as it conformed to the ritual of the cbnsch. Be did not admit the justice ot theeu-logies utteied of him; he felt unworthy of them, but be accepted them as a mark of friendship and esteem. He was now returned to carry on the good work, the foundation ot which had been laid by men the latchets of whose shoes ne was unworthy to loose." He would endeavor to merit the co-operation of the faithful in this labor.

Were Gcd's partiality like that of his friends he wculd tremble less when he contemplated the dread judgment day He would stand or fall by his Church and his flock; he desired no destiny higher or better than theirs. He concluded by again thanking the clergy and laity for their wel-corr e. The grand pontifical high mass then took place, Haydn's Mass No. 3 being sung by the choir, titder the leadership of Prof. with admirable effect and execution.

The celebrant of mass was Rev. Dr. Charles I. White, with Revs. P.

Murphy and M. Fitzgerald as deacon and sub-deacon Rev. James McElroy acting as master of ceremonies. At. the close of the gospel the most reverend Archbishop arose, and at some length gave an account of the grand celebration in which he participated in Rome on the of June last.

He said that on his departure from the archdiocese some six mouths ago, it had pleased God to place him in such a condition ol weakness as prevented him from explaining the object of the celebration. It was a subject so vast that he would be compelled to limit himself to a single siai.dpciDt in speaking of it. He meant to show that he eighteenth ccnteDarv celebration, which tccR place in Rome cn the of June last, was sul-lime In its inception and conception, its object and in its execution. There are tw. binds of sublimity, human and divine.

This celebration partook of both. Under what circumstances was it contemplated? Who did ir? Pius at. the most critical period of Lis pontificate the weakest potentate iu Europe, tereft of four-fifths of his dominions and thicfilened with expulsion irom the poor remainder. rl he object of the celebration was the canonization ot some twenty-five or twenty-six servants of God. Among them were nineteen martvrs of in the sixteenth century.

A shepherd girlol France, one or two religious women, the founder of the Paesionist order, and thenoble missionary Leonard, of Port Maurice, made up the list. The second object of the celebration, which might be regarded as the primary one, was that on that occasion the hierarchy aud faithful might rally around the 262d successor of St. Peter. The celebration was sublime in its execution. When the invitation was issued by the Holy Father, hew did the bishops respond? They were not commanded simply iLvited.

At that gathcrmg were nearly five hundred bishops, from all parts ol the world, and at least fifteen thousand priests, eight thousand of whom were from France. The Archbishop then referred to the various nations and countries which were represented, also to the procession, which commenced at 7 o'clock in the morning and took two hours to pess over the route. The various costumes, colors, styles of apparel and figures were of their kind cublime. No language 'can portray the grandeur of the scene at St. Peter's.

Within that magnificent temple were from 75,000 to 100,000 people, and even then it was not full. The beautiful illuminations of the building approached the Eublime, ten thousand brilliant lights, arranged in glorias, hundreds of illuminated figures and coats ot arms in living light, presented a scene of brilliancy seldom equalled. But far greater and higher than all in the sublimity was the catholicity and unity of the mul-t tude No confusion of tongues there Irom the highest to the lowest points of revelation, entire accord. Were the question asked in that gathering, Do you believe in extreme unction? one resounding aye would answer. No discord there, but unity in catholicity above all human philosophy, beyond human calculation.

Within that holy temple was one heart, oae soul, one mind, one feeling of admiration for the glorious saints, one feeling of filial Jove through life to death, to the chair of St. Peter, The Archbishop then concluded by bestowing the episcopal benediction, after which the mass proceeded to the end, succeeded by the chanting of pfalms by the clergy within the sanctuary. The priests and seminarians then passed out by the rear of the sanctuary, followed by the Archbishop, a march from Tannhauser by the choir being rendered with splendid effect. The immense crowd then gradually left the Cathedral. Synod of the German Reformed Church Fourth Day.

TELEGRAPH NEWS.

FROM WASHINGTON. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.J The Case of Jefferson Davis Chief Justice Chase-Code Revision Slili- tary Officer to be Tried for Murder A i' point mollis Personal News. Ac Washington, October 20. From official sources it is learned that the case of Jefferson Davis will 'urdoubtedly be tried next month, whether Chief Justice Chase shall preside or not. Each party desires and expects Judge Chase to hear tee case, and there is at this time no good reason known that would prevent his presence, eh mid there be no i-xtraordinarv delay in bringing the case before the court.

But as it is expected that the trial will last for Tour or five weeks, thus running over a part of the term of the Supreme Court, which me-ts on the first Monday of December, it is barely possible that Judge Chase may not feel warranted in enteiing upon a hearing, lest he shall be prevented in the meantime from attending to his imperative duties in the Supreme Court. Legal questions of vast importance are prepared for argument before the Circuit Court, which it is desited shall be decided by ths Chier Justice. But rather than this case shall again be continued, both parties are represented as willing to submit their points to Judge Underwood, trusting to getting them before the Supreme Court finally by writ of error. The code commissioners, Messrs. Cashing, Johnson and James, are prepared to make their first report to Congress, and will submit the same during the first week of the eonung session.

Patent and military laws, which are greatly reduced and Bimpiied, form the principal features of the report. General Grant reports that General Pope has ordered that Captain Morris Schaff, commanding the United States arsenal at Mount Vernon, Alabama, be tried upon a charge of the murder of Frederick B. Shepard, a cit izen of that Slate. It will be recollected that the homicide gre out of an acrimonious correspondence between Schaff and Shepard, which ended in the latter challenging the former to fight a duel. Schaff had Shepard arrested and brought within the artenal, and, it is alleged, instantly shot him, the ball taking effect in the neck.

Shepard lingered some days and died. In the meantime, 5chaff was tried before a court-martial for conduct unbecoming an officer and found guilty. These proceedings, will be annulled, and the trial for murder go on. There is reason to believe the Secretary of the Treasury will appoint J. E.

Eisiey, deputy commissioner of internal revenue, vice Mess-more, removed. Mr. Risley is a lawyer, and a citizen of Indiana. He will take position in the bureau here instead of going to New York in Mr. Mesiemore's place, and "thus put an end to the strife that has been going on for some time to secure the office and get control of the Metropolitan Revenue Board in New Yoik.

Robert Johnson, the President's private secretary, who has been absent from the city four months, returned this morning, and will at once resume his official duties. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Rollins, who left here on Friday for Boston, is expected back tc-morrow. Assistant Attorney General Binckley has returned from his visit to Virginia. Data.
