If we cannot pay to day a debt due fifteen years hence, when most of us will be dead, and our children will have to pay it, let us say so, but don't let us whine and try to get out of the payment of a debt Incurred either wholly or in part by Che people of the United States to maintain and preserve the ontegrity of the United States. If Seymour is elected I believe the debt will be paid in Jackson money hard dollars. If Grant is elected it will only be in Republican promises to pay. And who can behove or trust in them They said the war was waged to preserve the Union entire, and now we are told that the States did secede, and tha4 they went out of the Union, and can only come back when Massachusetts and the North says so false in one, false in all.

I am sorry, Mr. Editor, to differ with yon. It Is not often that I do. Forget not the old landmarks and you will not allow anything to appear in your paper like your leader of yesterday. You know my name, but at this timo I will write it, with your consent.

Joum Smith. the Ward and in the Assembly District. Among other things lis said they were making a list from homo to house, every voter in the ward, and his probable vote. They hoped to reduce the Democratic majority' of the ward from 400 to 100, if not to carry the ward. The 'respectable" people of the ward, whom he (Mr.

AUaben) was in the habit of meeting in the cars and elsewhere, were Republicans, but it was the Irish in the Ward who gave the Democrats their ascendency. Ho wondered how any Irishman, who had come herefrom a land of oppression, should vote against the party of freedom." He could only attribute it to their lack of Intelligence. To confer intelligence upon them, he proposed that the Republicans should distribute among them, free of charge until election, a newspaper published by Major Haggerty, which advocated Grant's election. Mr. Patriok Simpson, an Irish Republican, approved of this suggestion and made the further proposition that tho newspaper in question should be distributed among his fellow countrymen at tho meeting of the Fenian organization in Temperance Hall, Kent avenue.

Af terjsome further conversation the meeting appointed a committee to report in detail what the Tanners' uniform would cost and adjourned to Monday night to complete the organization. The Reason Why. At a meeting of the the corner of Vanderbilt avenue and Butler street, and Primary Sohool No. 6, in Prospect street. Besides these many of the old sohool houses have been en larged, The sohoolhonse in Gates avenue, near Division, only partially furnished for use last season, is now completed, and will aooom modate several hundred more pupils.

We hope to be able to say this season that no child in Brooklyn that needed a free education has been refused admission to our Public Schools for want of room. Peculiar interest attaches to the opening of the now school, No. 9, from the faot that it has been placed udder the charge of a lady principal, Mrs. Dunkley, whose marked success as teacher and principal of the female department of School No. 15, inspired the Board of Education with such confidence in her ability that they have entrusted her with the sole charge of the new school.

The experiment will no doubt, be watched with muoh interest. Hitherto but little inducement has been held out to the teachers in our public schools beyond their salaries which have never been liberal; the well remunerated position of principal in the schools has heretofore been reserved for men, while women have filled all the lower positions and done all the hard work. Of the capacity of women for teaching there is no longer any question of her capacity for the government of a school, farther proof is yet wanted to silence the doubter. The ladies have been fortunate in this instance in their representative, and they may await the result with confidence. tem.

Rev. Dr.

Hiscox, of this city, preached at the dedication of the Warwick, N. Y. church, August 26th. METHODIST The McthodUl, referring to the case of the ex dancc houso keeper, John Allen, as conspicuously bad, in view of his early religious oducation, says: "Now, we do not say that Buch a man's repentanco cannot be genuine, or that it ought not to be encouraged but we do Bay that people are likely to pet and to make too much of it. We do not very particularly call attention to the fact that Mr.

Allen still keeps in his purso the wages of many years of crime. He has stopped his nefarious trades, but overy meal he eats is tho price of nlthinesB and sin. Wo know it is hard for a man to beggor himself and his family, but it is still worse by the filthiest forms of criminality to enrich himself. We know, too, that restitution in such a case would, in any literal sense, be an impossibility but it is also clear that "the wages of unrighteousness" must in Borne way be purified or still bear on them the divine curse. We therefore, regard the case of Mr.Allen as ono to be dealt with moat cautiously, generously, hopefully even, but not boastfully or triumphantly.

Ho haa come from a great depth, but does not appear as yet to have reached a great height, and it is important for himsolf and his friends to understand this. To make him a hero is to ruin him. He must be clothed with humility." Rev. W. M.

Five Conferences have been in session this week the Iowa, the Central German of Indiana, the Nevada, the Upper Iowa, and tho Michigan. Bishop Smith of the Canadian church has been very Blck but is recovering. The third annual convention of Young Men's Christian Associations of this State will bo held in Auburn, September 8. The Christian Advocate denounces horse racing at agricultural fairs.

Old John street church, N. is now being thoroughly renovated. It will eclebrato the centenary of its dedication on the last Sunday in October. At that time tablets in memory of Philip Embury, Barbara Heck, and rrancis Asbury will be unveiled. The "Whitefield Tabernsole, London, built in 1753, is to bo torn down.

The Christian Advocate disputes the story, started by a Baptist organ, that a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, who died of delirium tremens, was baptized while in an unconscious state by the Lieutenant Governor, who is a MethodiSjt preacher.

The specimen paragraphs sent by Cable are profound to the point of obscurity. The Gazette, however, thinks it well for the Embassy and the English Government to talk things over freely. A clipper race from loochow to London involves more skill, patienoe, and oeaseless vigilance than the contests of the turf, reported with much detail of oups and stakes and pedigree. The Cable simply announces that the tea ship Ariel arrived on the 1st inst. and is the champion of the year.

Two days later the Spendthrift and Sir Launcelot got in, the difference between them being some twenty four hours. The course being thousands of miles the race may be called close. English speaking people everywhere have a weakness for a speeoh." Men banquetting together luxuriously are compelled by custom to disturb the routine of quiet enjoyment and interrupt the digestive process by haranguing one another. Gentlemen honored with the graceful and originally romantio compliment of a serenade are expected to reduce the affair to a dull commonplace level, and incur the hazard of a cold in the head, by addressing their "fellow citizens" from their chamber windows without their nightcaps. Successful actors are forced to break in upon the progress of grave dramatic events, and suddenly resurreoted from a tragic death behind the curtain to appear before the same in response to a demand for a "speech." Man at all times and in all places is required to "define his position" at the shortest notice.

It is not surprising, therefore, that our new Minister to the Court of St. James, Reverdy Johnson, was made to get upon his feet and open his mouth shortly after his arrival in England. The Sheffield cutlers captured him on Thursday, made him a notable feature of their annual feast, and insisted on drinking his health. Mr. Johnson made a neat, satisfactory, and non committal reply.

He was a "messenger of peace he discovered proofs of friendship which was reciprocated; English and Americans were one people, "like institutions," in their hands "liberty live forever; slavery ended; "next President a warm friend of England."

Entries should be made on or before the 19th. One Mower claims to have made a very important discovery in tolegraph.

If practicable it will obviate the difficulty, danger and expense of ocean cable laying. Mower proposes to transmit messages by a current through the water without a wire. He sinks his eleotrical machine to a point where surface waves or the tides can have no effect. The fluid decomposes the first drop of water at the point of contact, and the operation is communicated to the eecsnd drop, and so on, until another electrical machine on the opposite side of the ocean is reached. Tho two ruaohines must be on tho same parallel of latitude to an inch, so that the positive and negative processes of decomposition shallgo on in the same line of water.

Successful experiments are said to have been made in Lake Ontario. As the victims of the "Foul play" outrage happily have not died and as publio interest in the affair has, the Sheriff's officers contemplate with complacency an early and easy escape from the consequences of their reckless pistol practice on the stage of the Broadway Theatre. The case has been repeatedly called in the police court and as often postponed because of the District Attorney's absence. The Justice now threatens to dismiss the complaint if it 3 not pushed to an investigation next time. This of course is in pursuance of the plan of operations, and the Sheriff's officers calmly offer odds on their speedy discharge.

The coroner's inquest in the Wales railroad disaster varies the routine verdiot of nobody to blame," by charging brakesmen Williams and Jones, of the freight train, with manslaughter iu criminally neglecting their duty. If the Grand and petit juries do theirs we shall be indebted to WaleB for a wholesome example. There has just occurred in Cork a riot, as to the origin or elements of which there is not even a hint of Penianism. A mob, numbering about 8,000, assembled in the streets on Thursday, and were only dispersed at the point of the bayonet. Potatoes were at the bottom of tho affair.

Yesterday there were several incendiary fires, showing that the excitement was still smouldering. A Newburyport paper publishes a tax return in 1814 of George Peabony, whose personal property is put down at 200, and adds "Mr. Peabody had then arrived at manhood, and had he owned one dollar less would not, at that day, have been a voter." The Newburyport paper apparently shrinks from, recording the possible calamitous consequences to mankind had Peabody's possessions fallen short of the sum named, and had Peabody been deprived of his ballot. Personal. The Standard.

The Standard, oomes to us this week in an altered and improved shape, with two announcements, one that the price is reduced to three cents, the other that the paper will henceforth occupy an independent position in politics. There is a profitable field for a good weekly paper in Brooklyn, and the Standard can occupy it if it chooses. It has made one step in the right direction. GrucjETT.

One of them says it is too much like work for Briggy, and he won't do it. Mapleson There are two parties in the Ma pleson question one says he is coming hero with an opera troupe the other as positively asserts that he is not.

It is confidently asserted that he is a member in good standing, of both political par ties, and is trying to get up a third on a basis of BoggB.

Thab Stevens. Townsend says "Thaddeus Ste vens' house on Capitol Hill, is not to be let, to the sorrow of many folks who wanted to rent it, and sleep in the old gentleman's bed." We guess they are not as anxious for quarters in Thad's preBent abode, They wouldn't get much sleep there. Allen. The latest thing about John Allen the "Wickedest Man in New York," is, that his name is not Allen and that ho is not the wickedest man in New York. Pbenoh.

The latest oldest inhabitant has just died at the aBpiring village of Poughkeepsie. He was a colored person, named French and his age was eetimated at 106. He had quite an interest ing history, though singular to relate he never was coachman to George Washington. McGutoan Terry McGuigan the very latest contractor for the Broadway paving, was seen the other day on that street in company with a horse and cart and two excavators. The storekeepers were elated thinking the job was going to be done off hand.

But the bold Terry after making a reconnoisBance retired with his forces and Broadway remains in statu quo. Pickles.

About four o'clock this morning, an alarm of flre was caused, by some llme.barrelB taking fire In Warren street near Fourth avenue. It Is supposed to have been caused by the action ot the rata oa the lime. The damage Is very trinung. Sltxss Meetlngi'iit the Fulton Avenue Wi(rwttm Address of Judge Claxla, of OJjtO. Notwithstanding the severity of the storm last evening, a considerable number of ceople attended the Democratic Mass Meeting, at thoTFulton avenue wigwam, held under the auspices of tho Constitutional Union Association.

Before the organization of the meeting Colletti's fine band performed a number of popular airs in an excellent manner, and a number of eky rookets and other pyrotechnics were let off, Shortly after eight the meeting was called to order by Mr. Brinkerhoff, one of the vice presidents, when Dr. Norria read the following resolutions which were unanimously adoped: Resolved, That we fully respond to the nomination of John T. candidate nominated by the Democratic State Convention, for Governor, and that in Allen C. Beach tho people have ah able candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor, and we pledge ourselves to use every honorable means to elect them to the positions for which they have been chosen.

Judge Clark, of Ohio, was then introduced, and addressed the audience. Ho said that it would be superfluous for him to pass eulogies upon the gentlemen who had been placed in nomination by the Albany Convention. There were two names Irrevocably linked with the history of the State of New Toak, wherever they were known, and they were the honored names of Horatio Seymour and John T. Hoffman (oheers), and if anything outside of the feelings of the people, wore wanted to secure success in this State, it was had in the nomination of these two men. The speaker then went on to take np the general issues to bo decided by the people at the ooming election.

He commenced by alluding to the general distress and dissention prevailing all over the larid, and then went on to Bay that no patry had a right to come before the people and ask for the suffrages unless they were prepared to show the people by what means they proposed to remedy those wrongs. Twenty six miliunB of interest bearing debt was no trifling burden for a people to carry, and this was the burden upon our shoulders. For a person pressed by debt, there were but two courses open, either to pay, or go into bankruptcy. Now for a nation there was no bankruptcy law and it could only take that course by repudiation of its debt, but as that could not be done, thero must be some means devised to pay it. The Radical party say they are in favor of paying the debt but they fail to show by what means they propose to do it The speaker then went on to speak of the Democratic plan of making the debt pay itself, by making the bondholders pay their share of taxation, of disbanding the vast standing army be and his remarks were received with prolonged applanse.

On taking his seat he was loudly cheered. Dr. Norria then announced that Tri 1. .1 i 1 i l. 1UL.

The Fifth Ward Democratic Club held a very enthusiastic meeting lost night, at their Headquarters corner of Hudson avenue and Prospect street. President Jesse M. Folk in the chair, and Joseph H.

Winters acting as Secretary, The Executive Committee have completed all the arrangements for a mass meeting and Banner raising at the above place on Monday night next 7th inst. They promise a good band of musio and some fine speakers for the occasion and invite the Democracy of the city to join them. Their banner is said to bo one of tho finest that has yet been flung to the breozo. So dou't forget the old Banner Ward on Monday night. Every good Democrat will be on hand.

A Bap fkom a Feiend. One of the Editors of the Evening Tost attondod a meeting of his party friends in this city on Thursday evening, at Latimer Hall, Court street, and did not like the entertainment. Ho finds fault for the following reasons 1. The principal speaker announced for the evening did not appear. 2.

A Bpeaker from New Jersey was so long winded that he tired his audience. 3. A handful of young Democrats who made occasional interruptions were scolded by an ox army colonel. We must confess this was enough to disgust even a partisan editor. To find the man absent whom he wont to hear, and his place filled by a long winded bore and to find the audience by their exclamations to be Democrats, leaving it doubtful whether the Radical portion of the crowd included anybody beyond those on the platform, must have beon seriouB trials to the temper of a warm supporter of the party which made so poor a show on the occasion.

A Local Badioal Dodge. We understand that parties are going through Brooklyn taking down the nameB of all voters that is, they only ask for males. They say it is for "Internal Revenue purposes," but they take the male occupants from cellar to garret, where the parties are foolish enough to give them. Let overy Democratic householder instruct his women folk to shut the door in the face of any person, be he police man, letter carrier, or radical club canvasser, who comes round talking census in this fashion. Anybody has a right to make Inquiries, but anybody else has an equal right not to answer people who are inquisitive and impertinent.

Cost of Reoonstbtjotion. The Boston Herald says For July the expenses of tho War De partment were over seven millions for the Navy Department, nearly three millions and for the oivil list about four millions. Tuts is at tho rate of about one hundred and seventy millions per annum, exclusive of the interest on the publio debt, pensions and bounties. The expenses of the War and Navy Departments woro at the rate of one hundred and twenty millions per annum. Where the reduction to be made to keep within the appropriations? Are wo paying ten or twelve millions a month to control the South through the negro vote? Vermont.

It now appears that the first returns trom Vermont were unscrupulously cooked by the Radicals, who control the telegraph and have overy one of tho few daily newspapers in the State. The Burlington Timce of Friday admits that the Republican majority will not greatly exceed 25,000 instead of the 80,000 at first claimed. The Tribune the day after the election claimed the House as "nearly unanimously Re publican, out of 65 towns heard from, only four electing Democrats." It is now conceded that the Democrats have 37 Representatives, with thirty three towns yet to be heard from. The Democrats last year had only twenty members of the Legislature. Tho Radical vote is one sixth less than their vote in 1864; the Democrats now claim that their vote when the returns are all in, will be not only the largest they ever cast, but nearly if not quite half as large again as that of lost year.

It is ovidont that the returns from Vermont were held back. cooked and manipulated by the Radicals so as to influ ence the election in Maine. Georgia. In Georgia the carpet baggers nave gone back on the negroes and have voted to ex elude negro members from the Legislature. The vote stood 80 to 23.

The carpet baggers were false to their race, and they could not bo expected to be true to their party. Having joined the negroes in order to eleot themselves to tho Legislature, they fear that tho De mocracy will carry the country and hence make haste to worship the rising Bun. The chief significance of the expulsion oi negro members from the Gorgia Legislature by the carpet bag allies, is in the ovidenoo which it affords that tho carpet bag gentry, who have a keen nose for success, have made up their minds that tho negro ascendency business iB aoout played out. South Beooklyn Democratic Association. This association will hold a public meeting on Monday evening next, nt their headquarters corner Court and Butler streets.

It was previously stated it would take place last evening, but the arrangements with speakers changed the evening to Monday. The Hon. James Brooks and A. S. Sullivan will address tho meeting on the great issues of the day.

It is tho intention of this association to have oddrosses every week and probably every night during the latter part of tho campaign, with a reading room stocked with all the important news papers of the day, and other facilities for tho Democratic masses of South Brooklyn to enjoy themselves. The hall has seals for nearly two thousand persons, a large hall has beon erected, and their trans. parencics and banners will bo flung to tho breozo on Monday. All residents of Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, iweutn ana wenty secona wards ravorablo to Demo cratic sontiments, are invited to attend and enroll their names. South Brooklyn should give the Hon.

James Brooks an enthusiastic reception, for he will positively speak, win oe tne formal opening night of the cam paign, and as for its future success we can only prediot that in the hands of its able officers and committees composed of Messrs. Brigg, Bergen, Voorhies, McCas ley, Leech, Bauer, Bunker, Torry, Kinsella and a host of others, it will make a proud and honorable record for the Democracy of South Brooklyn. Amos Kendall. This old veteran, the in timato friend of Andrew Jackson, is now verging on his eightieth year. But his faculties are as clear as ever.

Ho has written a letter in support of Seymour and Blair in which he puts the real point at issue as forcibly as any writer in the prime of life could present it. HesayB: "Who does not know that, had the amnesty proclamations of the President, been allowed to havo their legal effect and the Southern States been permitted to reorganize under officers sworn to support the Constitution, we should long ago have had peace and comparative prosperity throughout our borders. Why is it not so? It is attributable entirely to the usurpations of Congress that body began by adopting the adsurdity that tho successful war for the preservation of the Union had in fact destroyed the Union that in compelling the seceding States to remain in the Union our armies in fact thrust them out and that however anxious the Southern people might be to stay in or got in they could, not do so without assenting to such conditions as Congress might prescribe. If the success of the war put the Southern States out of tho Union, would Ub failure have kopt them in? On this absurdity was based the entire reconstruction of Congress." 7th "Ward Republicans. The Republicans of the 7th ward held a meeting last evening at the hall corner Fulton and Closson avenues, for the purpose of forming Tanners' Club" for the ward.

Mr. B. T. Wilds occupied the chair, Mr. S.

Bowden, of the Fire Department was Secretary, and Mr. AUaben, Governor Fenton's ejected Quarantine Commissioner, was chief spokesman. There were about thirty people present. Mr. AUaben explained the nature organization.

There was to be a semi military company to parade the streets, wearing a uniform consisting of cap, cape and apron. The uniforms would cost about three dollars each. Though he had given as much to the party already oa he ought to give, yet if there were any who wished to join the club and who were too poor, or unwilling to pay for their own uniform ho would be sure to subscribe money to buy uniforms for others as well as for bimBelf. He would guarantee that no man who was willing to turn out should go without a uniform for want of money to obtain it. The Secretary then called for signatures to tho roll.

A few came up and signed. Then it was suggested that those who were too modest, or for any other reason did not like to sign their own names, could have it put down for them by announcing it in their seats. After a while the Secretary was asked how many names he had, and ho replied only fourteen. Mr. Allaben said that would not do he would take the list and go round the room, asking others to sign.

A Republican from the 9th Ward here got up and protested. Had the party fallen so low as thiB in the Seventh Ward, he asked, that they had to go ronnd the room and drum up signatures from men who were unwilling to announce themsolves mom bers Mr. AUaben wont round notwithstanding and by dint of pertinacity and of putting down not only the names of persons present but of others not present, who he was told would be willing to join, ho at last raised the list from to 24. Then Mr, Gleason got up to relate an anecdote of what he had seen in the oars lately. A young man was reading a Democratic paper which a young lady observing, aha made a grab at the paper and tore It in pieces, telling the young man that he ought to be ashamed to read a Democratic paper, and if he wished to got true political information he should attend Republican meetings.

The New York papers have succeeded in diversifying the politioal campaign by produoing a veritable semi religious sensation The manner iii which it has been worked up reflects great credit on its author who is understood to be a reporter named Dyer, but who has for some years post devoted himself exclusively to the sensation business as managing editor of the New York Ledger.

"With an unselfishness not common to reporters, who generally try to get a eat" on their co laborers, Dyer magnanimously famished the result of his labors to the principal New York papers, and hence it is that the Metropolitan dailies, differing in every thing else, are unitedly of opinion that the settlement of the question "Who is the wiokedest man in New York," is eminently worthy of general consideration. Dyer's history of the case is about as follows Two years ago, in his exploration of the dark Bide of New York life, he had the temerity to make his way through the donee and bawdy houses of Water street. These plaoes are kept for the accommodation of sailors and the roughest and most brutal portion of a Metropolitan population. Human frailty in its moat repulsive form may be best studied in such plaoes, and the not very safe or inviting exploration recommended itself to Dyer. Among the danoe house keepers one Allen chiefly attracted the reporter's attention.

In Dyer's own language he recognized Allen as the bell weather of "the flock; and set to work to study him up determined if possible to resoue the inter esting wretch and to get him to break up "the dance house business." Dyer's way of going to work smacks strongly of the shop. If he had been a philanthropist merely, ho would in all probability have approached Allen quietly, and pointed out the disgraceful character of his calling and the ruin he was bringing upon himself and others; if a clergyman, he would have wrestled with him in prayer," and held up all the horrors of the nether regions of the next world before him but, being a newspaper man, Dyer resolved to write up" the "interesting In this way he not only had a chance of reforming Allen, but of turning an honest penny in his profession. As a means of taking a crack at Allen, Dyer wrote up his history in a somewhat obscure monthly, known as "Packard's" a periodical of course very likely to fall under Allen's notice. Dyer modestly says that his article was a "dead hit." In his own language "It filled the 'Wickedest Man' with terror una shame. He wept over it in rage and mortification.

His family came down on him afresh. He learned that his aged father was stricken to the hoatt by the article, and that bis favorite brother had fainted away on reading it His pet son came crying home from school, flaying he wouldn't go any moro because all the boys said his father was the wickedest man in Now York. His den was overrun with respectable visitors to such an extent as seriously to damage his business, and so he cursed the visitors and the 'miserable Dyer who had sent them there, and raved, and swore, and, to use his own words, run on rum heavier than Notwithstanding the fact that the first shot was mortal, Dyer took aim at Allen a second time through Packard's monthly, and Allen was so struck with his own iniquity, and the delicate mariner in which attention was called to it, that he resolved, we are told, to relinquish his business. But in realizing the enormity of his offences, Allen's worldly prudence did not entirely forsake him. We are told of converts who at once threw down the implements of their calling, and resolved from that moment to abandon their evil ways; not so this interesting wretch.

The announcement of. Allen's prudence and conversion oame to the public in this fashion The Wiokedest Man In New York shut np his dance house on Saturday night. As the clock struck 12, and the Sabbath crossed the verge of midnight th infernal den was closed, nevermore, John Allen says, to bo opened as a dance house. There is an Evangelist in New York by the name of Kennedy, who induces his co laborers to shut their eyes on the ways of such men as Allen up to twelve o'clock at midnight. Allen dosed his week in his old fashion, and took the last moment Kennedy would allow him.

The singular coincidence of Allen's conversion with Kennedy's regulations shows that he is not merely an "interesting wretch," but an exceedingly prudent wretch. He had all his plans laid for. a new vocation. From being among the chief of sinners, Allan stepped into a front rank among the moral reformers. Bright and early on Sunday morning, Dyer tells us he found the following notice on Allen's dance house "THIS DANCE HOUSE IS CLOSED!" "No gentlemen admitted unless accompanied by their wives who wish to employ Magdalene as domestics.

JOHN ALLEN." On the same day he addressed a prayer meeting, at which the dance girls were in attendance and so was Allen's wife, and here Allen, we are told, enjoyed himself hugely. Every day since religious meetings have been held in the dance house, and Allen has become so much of a religious lion and is doing so well generally that we are assured "other "dance house keepers on the street are going "to open their houses for religious meetings "in the course of a few days." Thore is but one drawback on the revival. All of Allen's old associates have not yet abandoned their evil ways, while they are attached to their old rendezvous, so that at the Water street prayer meeting yesterday "one gentleman had his pocket picked of one hundred dollars." We would not for the world intimate that any of the clergymen present was the sufferer for it is well known that the modern, like the early preachers, go about without either purse or scrip. Among other reforms Allen's conversion may occasion is a return to the early practice, for an attitude of devotion is entirely incompatible with a due care of one's pocket book, in what promises to become the fashionable prayer meeting. A large delegation of ladies were yesterday present at Allen's.

One of them, we are assured, made "a short but tender appeal, whioh struck home to the hearts of them all," alway3, of course, except ing the pickpocket and his pals who relieved somebody of his hundred dollars. Upon a pretty careful reading of the case, now worked up into voluminous proportions, we are inclined to the opinion that the solution of the original conundrum Who is the wickedest man in New York," loses its attraction in the face of the novelty of that other question "Is the interesting wretch Allen bambooz ling the parsons, or are the parsons in league with Allen, in gulling the readers of the New York papers Opening of the Public Schools. On Monday next the Public Schools will be re opened after a vaoation of sis weeks from whioh teachers and scholars will return rested and refreshed to their labors and studies. Our system of public education has become so perfected and works so Bmoothly and unob atrusively, that W6 have ceased to discuss its great importance to the welfare of the country. It is an interest, however, that re quirics constant watching because it must grow with the growth of the community, and there must be wisdom, foresight and watchfulness exercised over the management of our public schools.

Some few years since the Board of Education actuated a well meant, but shortsighted economy, delayed the necessary improvements and building of new school houses, needed to keep pace with the ever increasing demand for school accommodation as the city grows and the population increases. The result has been in the past two years the schoolhouses have all been uncomfortably crowded, and hundreds of children turned away for want of room. This overcrowding has endangered the health of the children, and rendered it impossible that they should all be properly taught or looked after by the teachers. The same mistaken economy kept the teachers' wages down at so low a figure that competent teachers could not be obtained in all and unqualified persons had to be accepted. These mistakes have been partially remedied during the present year the teachers' wages have been raised, and better work can be insisted upon.

The school house accommodations, though still inadequate, have been large increased, and it is now believed that all children residing in the city who desire the benefits of the public schools can be provided for.

BAPTIST. Tho Examiner denies the statement that fees are charged for baptism by Philadelphia ministers of Its denomination, and discourages, suoh sys a I si I If II Radicals of the Seventh Ward last evening Mr. Allabon one of the speakers, said that "he never could understand why it was that IriBhmcn in this country should not belong to the 'Party of i. the Radical party and the only reoson which he could assign for their adherence to the Democratic party was thoir want of intelligence." If it were possible for Mr. Allabnn.

nr any of his class, to be interested in or understand the feelings of any class but the negro, he wouldn't bn im prised that Irishmen have sense enough in this country to keep at a respectable distance from a party which has always been the enemy of the religion of their race, a party which burnt their ohurohes and violated their convents a party which in Massachusetts said they were auw uo wumea witn arms, out which in time of danger was glad to avail itBelf of their military nrow ess; a party which believes that the negro is better than men of their own race, and which seeks to put his black foot upon white men's necks a party which in evory way is tno enemy oi me wmte laborer, loading him down with oppressive taxation to enrich the bondholdlnff aristo cracy which it is seeking to establish. Mr. AUaben thinks that the fact of their coining from a land of on pression should make Irishmen join his "Party of ereeaoni." jut. Ajuaoen snouia learn tnat the senses become sharpened by hard experience, and how Quick ly the foreigner who has suffered from oppression in his own land can detect which are the men who would be his oppressors in this. Even the magnificent induce ment of a oampaign newspap er Buppliod gratis for two months will not hrloe the vot ers of Irish birth to join air.

AJiaDen parry, it wou id not compensate them lor one aay loss, by the increased cost of thelr provisions and house rent, which they sustain in con tributing their share to the support of lazy negroes by the Freedmen'B Bureau. The Radicals buy tho nasro's vote by supplying rations to him through thoir Freed men's Bureau. Mr. Allaben proposes to buy the Irish. man's vote much cheaper, with his campaign paner It won't do, Mr.

A. The only Inducement that can sway tho vote of the Irish American citizen is the prospect of a return to constitutional and onconomioal government. This the Radicals do not offer, while the Democracy In good faith present this as their sole object in seeking to obtain control of publio affairs. The Radicals and the Votees. In Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi, the "unreconstructed" States, the Radicals have made it a penal offence for any citizen to vote for Presidential electors.

In Florida and Alabama they have passed laws ordering the doctoral vite to be cast by the negro Legislatures, and not by the citizens. In Missouri they have effocted the samo ob ject, but in a meaner way. They have appointed regis tering omcers, who are not only to enforce a test oath, but to refuse to let men vote who are willing to take the test oath, provided the Radical registering ofiicor considers the voter likely to put in a Democratic ballot. By the rules of registration the registers are made tho fudg es of men's eeungs and thoughts. One rule provides that The man or person against whom no open or particular act of rebellion, secession, disloyalty or Southern sympathy is known or can be brought, but whoso associations during the rebellion were mostly, if not entirely and altogether, confined to and were with rebels, secessionists, and those persons whose feelings, opinions and sentiments and sympathy were known, and believed, and understood to be for and with the rebellion, cannot nor wiU not bo registered as qualified votors, unless he removes, beyond a doubt, by competent evidence, the presumption of diBloyalty raised against him by such associations and tho company he kept during And this "competent evidence" must eomofrom those who have beon ac ive haters" and opponents of the South.

But hero is anothor rule which is the very pink of "loyalty" it 1b loyalty whittled down to tho smallest point possible for even a Missouri Radical to concoive. It will be pleasant for young men to see the prospect held out to them by the Radicals. The rule provides that: Toung men who have become of age since the closing of the last general registry made in 1866, and whose associations, connections and antecedents are, and were reueiB, uimuyttiiBw), ouuuiern sympainizora ana rebellious in feeling and sentiment, cannot nor will not be registered as qualified voters, unless they remove, beyond a doubt, by the competent evidonce required in Rule 5th of these instructions, the presumption of disloyalty raised against them by being bo connected or associated. The "evidence" thus required must come from an "active hater." Here is another rule Taking an oath that a person is not nor ever has been guilty of any of the acts of disqualifications specified in the Constitution of the State, shall not be conclusive evidence of his loyalty, nor Bwearlng that he has never been disloyal or sympathized with the South, shall not be conclusive evidence of bis right to be registered as a qualified voter, but if a doubt exists iu the mindB of the Board of Registration as to Ins loyalty or right to be registered as a qualified voter, the por son against whom the doubt exists, must remove said doubt to the satisfaction of the Board, and it must be by the competent evidence required by Rule 5th of these instructions. This "evidence," too, must come from an active hater." The Amnesty Proclamation of President Johnson is entirely ignored, and those Superintendents of Begis itration declare that the Board of Registration shall wholly and absolutely disregard said so called Amnesty Proclamation." This is done, not in a "rebel" state, but in Missouri, which was never, even on tho Radical theory of State suicide, out of the Union.

Why then may not the same thing to New York? The Radloals havo the will to do it. By means of their test oath, and these rules, they intend again to turn away Frank P. Blair from the polls, in Missouri. If they succeed by this in olootlng Grant can any reasonable man doubt that the next step will be to exclude Horatio Seymour and hia Democratic fellow citizens from the polls in Now York. The Radical party has never gone back.

It has steadily pressed on, each aggresion upon the people's rights, each violation of tho Constitution being only the Btepping etone to another and worse usurpation. In Missouri they determine that only their own party shall vote this fall. In five other States they they aro in a minority, that no election shall be held. And they forbid us to appeal to tho Supreme Court to have such infamous laws set aside. Shall we of the North retain liberty Shall we deserve it, or can we appreciate it if we do not contemptuously and indignantly chase from power this revolutionary and despotic party?

Flain Facts About The Debt." To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Half an hour ago I read your article of yesterday headed thus, and although it took but a few minutos to do that, still my thoughts ever since havo bejn occupied with the question which afflicts us all. How shall we pay our debts? and pay them honestly without cheating. I am going to talk plainly with you to day, becauso I feel that the Democratic party cannot and should not avoid in any way the payment of any debt or obligation incurred by the people of the United States. My hair 1b now growing gray in the Democratic party who I am concerns nobody it is only the truth and the right which is at Btake. No office or place ever could tempt me to leave my every day work, and I trust in God they never shall bo that (although you know what I say is true) I connot be charged with entertaining any views on the subject which are favorable to myself I belong to the Democratic party, and for moro than a quarter of a century I have voted its ticket because I believed that its principles wore founded upon truth.

I propose toftght it out on that line in the ftotereil men chooBe to make silly platforms for us, we will vote willingly for good men, and trust to them to upset and undo the errors and the nonsense of platform makers. If I have got any matter to settle with the Democratic party, I propose to stay in my own home and settle it there. I never bolieved that slavery was a divine institution, neitherdid the Demooratio party, yet many of us did not join the Abolitionists, and because we did not, we were looked upon and treated as totally depraved sinners. The men at Chicago, who spoke of the war as a failure and who nominated and by thoir Billy platform, killed off for a little while tho true and gallant McCIel lan, had no right nor authority to speak for the Democrats of the United States they were fools whon they talked as they did and in consequence of their acts and their words, Abe the honest was elected President of the United States. Seymour of tho State of New York I bellevo in him I don't believe in the Democrotlo platform if it does not moan to pay our dobts in dollars, even if it takes all wo can make after putting bread into our childrens months.

We can afford to bo poor but we cannot afford to be dishonest. I do not own a dollar of United States bonds. I would not even if I had tho money to buy them, becauBe they are liable to repudiation whioh the people will excuse by doing, with the Republican cry of expediency. I Baid I did not own, and did not expect to buy a dollar of the funded debt of the United States And yet Mr. Editor from the day that the Rebels fired on the flag of our country, I have been compelled to pay from my own earnings each day of my life, enough money, to purchase every year since that accursed hour, two square trials or 1280 acres of the public lands of the United States.

I did not help to make that debt which requires such sacrifices of any man. I nover behoved it was necessary I do not to day think that the late war was a blessing. I think it could have been honorably avoided, and the enslaved blackB of the South be made free with tho consent of both northern and southern men but God tho Eternal (King saw fit to order otherwise, and it is our'duty to accept His infinite will aright. The war did come the Union was preserved. Tho North gave their men, they gave ineir means, uno united states promised them therefor to pay them in dollars.

Let them do it and who can comlplain what is a dollar Tnat's tho question When I was a boy going to Bchool in Brooklyn more than thirty years ago, I used to hear them talk of Jackson Democratic hard money Bil ver and gold money not United States Bank monoy in the shape of promises to pay dollars. The faot is simply here. It is a hard bargain but wo owe the money, we have agreed to pay it, and pay it we must we have agreed to pay dollars, and dollars it must be, or we must fail to meet our obligation and ask for a compromise. Oh 1 shame to mention or' tnink of such a thing let us ask for an extension if we cannot pay now let ub ask for one hundred year credit, and let our great grand children pay the cost of the debt incurred to preserve the Union, and they would rather do it than ffeel that their ancestors evaded tho payment by special pleading of a debt incurred by the people of these United BtatCB. I am nearly done, I am into this'contest because I believe in the Democratic party.

I don't think they are always right and always wise yet they arc so much nearer truth than are their opponents that I stay with them, the Whigs used to call me Iioco foco, and the sainted repnblicans said disloyal, copperhead, and I cannot tell you wh at besides, and yet as Stanton did to Office I stick to tho Demooratio party and tho old entire United States nag. Slavery Is forever dead and forever buried. Secession of these States from the compact is also orevor settled, and Repudiation of our obligations in any form and in any shape must and will bo buried so deep in the grave with Slavery and Secession that in the great day of all days that Judgment Day even Gabriel's trumpet could not call it forth into life. A dollar means a dollar not a promise to pay one, fulfill your promise and the obligation is not of any farther force and effect, take up an old vote by giving a new vote, the debt still exists, you have not paid it, pay off the bonds with United States greenbacks, sUll the United States owes the dollars Just the same as they did The Greenback Question. Our friend who writes under the cognomen of "John Smith," indulges in generalities and platitudes which we have no call to controvert.

He does not dispute the concurrence of our remarks, to which he takes exception, with the party platform but seems to wonder that, there being a difference between his view and the sentiment of the great body of the Democracy as expressed in the platform, we should not have agreed with him rather than with the majority of the party. There are only two points in the letter which it is needful to answer. John Smith holds that payment in greenbacks is not payment at all, but merely the change of one form of government indebtedness into anothor and that it is repudiation oi the debt to pay it in paper of less value than gold, which is the only coinage known to the Constitution. A dispute between any hard money Democrat and a believer in the platform of this campaign, can only arise from misunderstanding by the former of the doctrine put forth by the party in this canvass, which is not at all discordant with the old time Jacksonian Democratic theory that only coin is constitutional money. When we talk of paying the debt in greenbacks we mean, not the actual transfer of greenbacks to the bond holder in exchange for his bonds, but that the quantity or amount of the bonds or debt shall be measured and estimated in the greenback valuation.

So, when the Radicals propose to fund the debt for forty years, and keep on all that while paying interest in gold, it is not supposed that they mean to hand over gold coin, dollar for dollar, but to give such an amount in currency, checks or what not, as will be equivalent to the value of so much gold. The question is immaterial what the actual medium of payment shall be. It is not that, but what shall the valuation be, whereon the parties differ. The Democrat measures the amount of the debt by greenbacks, the Eepub lican measures it by gold, while he makes a law measuring every laborer's wages and every soldier's pension, by paper. We did not invent this paper money.

The Radicals contrary to the Constitution, as we believe undertook to call the greenback money, and to compel everybody to take it, even in disoharge of debts contracted in gold. Now we turn round and say, this paper of yours, which you say is good enough for the pay of the honest worker, and for the pension of the patriotic soldier, is good enough, in our opinion, for the bondholder who lent just suoh paper to the government. We give him gold interest, which is the only gold anybody in the community gets because it was so agreed in the law. But tho law does not require us to measure for him in gold the principal of that money which when he lent it to the government he measured in paper. We fail to see dishonesty, repudiation, or fallacy, in this feature of the Democratic platform.

Certainly our correspondent of to day does not make out anything of the kind. The path of return to specie payment, and the way to avoid point in the same direction. Let us by economy and good government moke the greenbacks as good as gold in the money market, and all diffioultiea are removed. But we can never equalize the quotable value of the two, while a discrimination is kept up between them, setting apart gold for the bonds, and paper for the pensions and wages and dealings of ordinary business. The "one currency for the equal taxation of bonds and every other species of property, in favor of which the Democratic platform records itself, can alone operate to place legal tender paper on a par with gold, and to banish all motive or plea for repudiation, in whole or in part.

The Empire State to be Reconstructed. We have often said that the Radicals intend, if the people vote to ratify their reconstruction of tho Southern States, to apply the same system of tyranny and oppression to the States of the North. The Providence Journal is the leading Republican paper in Rhode Island. One of the United States Senators, Mr. Anthony, is its Editor.

Hence it speaks with more knowledge ot the feelings and purposes of the Radical leaders than almost any other newpaper in the country. In an elaborate article it now argues that New York city by being consistently "disloyal," i Democratic, has forfeited the' right to self government. It says "The re construction of New York is moro important to the re establishment of good government and oqual lawB over the Union than the reconstruction of any one of tho rebel States. There has not beon a day Blnco old EcFi'iN most appropriate name flred the first shot on Sumter ho fired the last on himself when Jeff. Davis would not have received more votes in Now York city than Abbaham Lincoln.

Its sympathies have been against the country, it hopes have been with the rebellion, The people of this State therefore have the issue plainly put to them. If we vote to reconstruct the South, we vote to reconstruct New York. If we endorse the Brownlow rule in Tennessee, we vote to have soma such knave saddled upon us as Governor, with full power to control the ballot boxes and prevent any one from voting hereafter who does not vote to suit the Radicals. The practice of political organs of accusing public men of the opposite party of drunkenness and other vices, has been varied in this campaign. The Radicals have found anew species of personal approbrium to hint hereditary insanity.

Governor Seymour first atr tacked in this way by the Tribune and its echoes, but it was too hopeless a job to make people believe that the clear headed logical Statesman, whom they had known so long was insane. Now the Times has discovered that General Rosecrans was suspected during the war of being subject to fits of insanity, and that his recent conference at the Sulphur Springs was a freak of the same disorder. The General gave the Rebels fits during the war, now he is giving the Radicals fits, that's what's the matter. The trouble with the Radicals is, there is a little too much method in the General's madness. Pebeik.

The nomination of the Hon. E. O. Perrin for Clerk of the Court of Appeals is not only a merited recognition of his services to the Democratic party as an indefatigable worker and effective speaker, bat the selection of a man notably qualified for the Mr. Perrin's well known clerical ability has made him in great request on many important public occasions to fill the arduous port of secretary, and with education, talent and energy he unites a genial disposition that wins for him hosts of friends wherever he goes.

That funny specimen of a religious journal, tho Church Union, says that "the managing editor returns to his post to find several things out of joint," but expects all his friends to work for the paper and the coming kingdom the paper having precedence of the kingdom, it will be ob served. The spiritual and material conoernB of the Ohurch Union seem always to have been out of joint. Indeed it is diffioult to see how the sys tern of the managing editor oonld result in anything but disarticulation. The editorial columns of the paper are filled in about equal parts with oant of Evangelical Unity, savage and brutal at tacks upon Rev. Sr.

A little son of Mr. Wilson Stroop, residing at Copper Works Station, on tho Connelliville Railroad, was poisoned on Monday evening from eating the pods of Jim Bon weeds. Tlio little fellow, wlio is only treaty months old, got away from the door of the dwelling during the temporary of his mother, and tho first obBkiclo he chanced to run against was a cluster of Jimson weeds. Ho atonoe commenced to tear of off the poda and oat them, and when discovered several had already boon devoured. Word was immediately sent to Dr.

City. On last Sabbath afternoon ft man named Thomas, who bad been in attendance at the camp moeting at Monoogohela City, got into an altercation with afarmBr named Warner and his son, residing in the vicinitj of the camp ground, during which Thomas reoeived injuries which, it is stated, terminated in death on Monday evening. Thomas, it seems, had taken passage on one of tho Brownsville packets for the purpose ot returning to his bemu, and uhile the boat was lying at shore he wantiured into Warner's orchard, which was near by. and proceeded to help himself to some pears. Warner discovered him in the act, and colling his son, they went to where Thomas was.

A dilhculty at once ensued, and during tha heated conversation, arner struck Thomas over the bead with a club with whioh he was armed. Tho man's skull was sid to be fructured. He was removed to tha boat, and then conveyod to his home, where he is reoortod to have died on Monday evbniug. But whether this is true or not we oannot say. IPittsbursn Commercial.

An outrageous stock swindle was perpetrated on Monday, on tho hanking firm of Whsletl A Brother, Third street, below Chestnut, Philadelphia. It seems a Btruncer to the linn attempted to buy of them $1,000 in gold, for which he offered a check in payment.

The delivery of the gold on this, unless it was marked good, was declined, when the buyer said it was no matter as to the cold now, but he would leave an order to buy forhim of Uovemment bonds, to be delivered at his ollicc, No. 216 Gold street. The Messrs. Wtielen brother bought tho bonds aud Bent them to the address named, where the buyer received and examined them, and saying "yes, they aro all right," put them in a pigeon hole of a case standing against the partition to an aojoining room, closed the door of the case, and begged the messenger to await a moment and he wonld give him tho money. With thishe passed into the adjoining room, and at latest accounts had not returned.

On investigation of the premises, it was discovered that a hole had been made in the partition opposito to the pigeon hols in tho case into which the bonds had been placed in presence of the person who had delivered them. A small door on hinges had been nicely fitted into this hole, and through this tuo bonds had been abstracted and the fraud consummated, while the yoang gentleman who had taken them to make tho delivery, thought he had his property under his immediate eye. A full description of tho bonds, date, number, letter, is given, and it is hoped all brokers and bankerd will lend their best elforts to aetect and arrest the perpetrator of so bold a fraud.

In the garden of Captain David E. Moore, Lexington, Virginia, thero is growing on a grape vino a fully developed apple. On one Bide of the apple ia an appearance of what might have been a grape bloom. This interesting InsUB naturte is, so far as wo know, without precedent, and, of course, it has attracted marked attention and caused no little speculation iu the circle learned In such matters about Lexington, whose community we may add, comparea advantageously in this particular with almost any other in tho State. The prevailing opinion, we learn, 1b that au apple bloom falling accidentally upon a grape bloom became incorporated with it and produced the result; but, if so, is it not sin milar that such an accident has never occurred before And if bo, again, does it not teach that the grape and apple can oe graiiea on eacn omer wo nope the pom louists of Lexington will mote very carefullv aU the phenomena of this rare freak of nature, and that they win nave tno appie puutograpneu, witn a poruou ot the vine, before its removal, for ongraving aud publication in horticultural journals.

Jtichnwnd Whig. Express Robber Arrested. There was received at the Union Depot, ycstordlly morning, a loiegrapuic tuspaicu iromAitoona, requesting the polico to arrcBt a young man who had taken pas sago on the Cincinnati express train for Pittsburgh. The dispatch did not give tho fugitive's name, and but a very meager description of him. Thore were no particulars of the cauoo of tho arrest other than that the accused had robbed the Adams Express Company of Altocna of some clothing and valuables.

Whon the train arrived, several othcers wero on tho lookout for the accused, and a man who partially answered tho description given in thc)dispatcb, was pointed out as tho only man who got on at Altoona. Ho was of courao taken into custody, Officer Boyd Rook, of tho depot police, aarosting him as ho was passing through the building. Mr. J. 8.

Beforo thoy started, wo are informed that We prisoner gave his name as BolL A gold watch and chain, and several gold lockets, with a piece of paper, on which was written "Keep mum. If you let mo go, what I have is yours." It would doubtless have been better had tho prisoner himself kept misery in Palaces. Looking from tho river, tho east bank of tho Hndson 1b studded for forty miles with large and costly mansions which loom np proudly amid masses of deep green foliage.

Theso buildings have an air of feudal grandeur, and their solitude, their heavy masonry, their towers and the surrounding forest remind ono of the castled Rhino. But although somo may affect this style of life, it appears to our taste exceedingly solitary and even gloomy, and that these Bhowy mansions contain a vast amount of misery is evident from those occasional revelations which cannot bo repressed. We have referred to the Paulding castle, and wo might refer to tho Bennett mansion, where tho Oorberua of tho press is passing a miserable age. We might also speak of a grand river side palace, whose owner kept himself afloat by a series of forgeries, until fearing detection, he was obliged to fleo to Europe, whore he died. We know of ono man who built a paloco In a park of three hundred acres, and who gave an entertainment to a large company, whom he sent home In his own carriages, to the number of one hundred, and yet this man was sold out by the sheriff, and died a bankrupt.
