~\,;".-.w'," ‘”“ M s Obedience to God* - "4J, B. STOLL, EDITOR. - WEDNESDAY, AUG. 11, ;1860 '~ ANDREW JOHINSON. The splendid conservative victory in Tennessee is due, in a very great measure, to the patriotic, ey aftr” tis retirement from the Presidency, his deep, carnest voiee proclaimed from the valleys and hill-sides those eternal truths that irresistably penctrate the hearts of true patriots, and that never fail to lead welldisposed mcn to the path of rectitude. WhengSenter and Stokes failed to draw an audience, thousands flocked to ! hear Andrew Johnson. Negroes as well as white men listened attentively to his cloquent speeches; and returned to their homes with conviction in their hearts.— The people of Tennessee know Andy Johnson to be an honest man, and consequently have implicit confidence in his utterances. e aroused the honest yeomanry to a sense of their duty, and their response at the ballot-box was most emphatic. Now, then, the friends of constitutional government throughout the country, with remarkable unanimity, ask of the Legislature of Tennessee that this great champion of popular rights, this relentless foe of tyrancy—Andrew Johnson—be elected to the U. S. Senate, where an opportunity will be presented him. to wage fierce, unrelenting war against those insipid foes of civil liberty who-are plotting the destruction of the Amecrican Republi¢., Let this one thing yet be done, and our triumph in Tennessce is conmiplete, | It is well said by the Chicago Times—a paper anything but friendlf to the ex- | President—that “whatever may be said to the -disparagement of Mr. Johnson as a politician, he is unquestionably a “representative man.” No man living more thoroughly represents the, idea of hositility to reckless radicalism, and adlercence to his convictions of constitutional | law. INo man has exhibited a more un: conquerable disposition to protect civil rights and the civil law against the assaults of an irresponsible despotism, erected in the service of an unscrupulous and corrupt party organization, His return to the Federal Senate will mark the decline and fall, in one of its bayonet-built strongholds,sof the party he has fought, and that has fought him, with a fury almost unparalleled in political history.”

‘Prediction Verified. b In a recent issue we expressed the confident belief that the letters of Secretary Boutwell and Postmaster General Cresswell in favor of Stokes, would have the cffect to swell Senter’s majority several thousand votes. Olﬂ' ‘ppinion seems to have béen well founded iif we may accept for authority a Washington dispatch which afjnounces that '“Prominent Republicans of Tennassee write here that the rccent letters of Messrs, Boutwell and Cresswell, so far from lfm.v‘ing the effect of strengthening the Stakes party in that State, 'proved just directly the reverso, and the writers assert that many thou. sands ‘who had intended voting for Stokes, since the intermeddling of the' two extreme radical members of the Cabinet, determined to vote for Senter. The Republicans of Tennesse¢ did not relish the dictation of Cabinet officials; and, as o further result of the good the BoutwellCresswell letters accomplished, it is stas ted that Andy Johnson’s chances for the' United States Senate have materially brightened. 4 . Political Movements, "We publish in to-day’s issue, under the caption of “The Presidential Field,” an interesting expose of alleged secret politicgl i/movements of Judge Chase's partic‘ular| friends. Although the statements contained in said article seem to be well founded, we cannot vouch for their correctness, and give publicity to the ssme solely for the purpose of showing how busily politicians are already engaged in laying the wires for the next Presidential election, and how flplainly the maf‘ks of disorganization - are visible in the unhappy family of our radical friends, There is on-esstat@ment in the .American’s article which we unhesitatingly pronounce'a gross absurdity, viz: that the Democracy “will not attempt to put up another candidate for the Presidency” should Judge Chase be nominated by a conservative convention, Delusive hope:! The Democracy will make their nominations regardless of outside machinations and schemes, and present indications plainly point to the triumphant election of their candidates. ff ’

The End of Carpet-Baggery and Negro - Rule Rapidly. Approachhpg- 1 ,HUZZA 1 FHUZZA!L!] - The election in Tennessce, on Thursday of last week, resulted in a great and glorious victory for the oppressed people of that State and the Democtacy of the country at large. Dewitt C. Senter, the conservative candidate for Governor, was elected by 65,000 majority over that blood:and-thunder Radical, Wm: B.’ Stokes, and the Democrats have an over whelming majority in both branches of the Legislature, which secures the election of a Democratic United States Senator. 3 :

Senter, although elected as a conservative Republican, will no doubt act in concert with the Democracy. He took carly and emphatic grounds in favor of enfranchising the whites who had been for years excluded from the ballot box by radical usurpers. It was most’ fortu-. nate that the Democracy accepted Senter as their candidate, for under radical manipulations it was within the power of the Governor to throw out the votes of ‘aB many counties as he might desire in order to subserve his purposes. Had the Democracy failed to use the golden opportunity, and presented a candidate of their own, partisan election officers would have continued their - proscriptive policy, and excluded the intelligence of the State from aparticipation in the election. The division in the Republican ‘party, and the unparalleled bitterness with which the extreme radicals combatted Senter, had the happy effect of presenting radiealism to the vision of the latter in its true light, and of identifying him’with the Democracy. Accord ingly, proscriptive registration officers were speedily removed, and men appointed in their stead who were capable: of acting justly toward voters of all parties, and who did not use their official positions to the advancement of partisan in terests. The result of all this is before us, and for the first time in many years have the people of Tennessee been permitted to deposit their ballots without threats or intimidations—without fears of . being driven from the polls by bayonets in the hands of desperados and barbarous Africans, ot 4

We cannot over-estimate the import- ‘ ance of this glorious triumph. = It effectually rescues the State of Tennessee from the destructive: clutches of radicalism, carpet-bag rule and negro vandalism. It restores her to the position she once occupied as a free and independent mem‘ber of the American Union. It awakens anew the proud remembrance of that illustrious hero, Andrew Jackson, and" serves as the best, most effective and complete vindication of that sterling patriot, Andrew Johnson. We would be unfaithful to ourselves were we to deny that the good news from Tennessee overpowers us with joy and gratitude. Not, however, in the mere satisfaction which flows from a great-political party victory, but in sincere gratefulness to Almighty - @God that he has so directed the hearts of men as to ;Jead them into the “paths of constitutional duty from which they have boen: so long estranged, and from the consequences of which our beloved country has so long suffered. But, thanks be to that great and good Providence, the “sober, second thought” is doing its work, and Tennessee is now added to the list of redeemed States, from the hands of the spoilers of our glorious institutions. The sturdy yeomanry of Tennessee have covered themselves with honor, All hail, glorious old Tennessee! In potential voice of thunder have you spoken. God be praised—‘there is yet hope for the maintenance of our republican - institutions. « Other States, we trust and believe, will improve upon this glorious example. '~

Declination of Gen. Rosecrans. A telegram from Columbus announces the reception of'the following from General Rosecrans: v s - BAN FraNcisco, August 7th. Hon. A. G. Thurman, Columbus, Okio : After the war I resigned a very desirable position 1 the army and left my State to secure, at léast, the possibility of fulfilling the duties deemed sacred to my creditors and my family. These duties forbid me leading the Democracy of Ohio in the pending canvass for Governor. = W. 8. ROsSECRANS. Although it is to be deeply- regretted that the private affairs of Gen. Rosecrans do not permit| him to lead the Democraey to victory, no one can deny that his reasons for thus decliningare of the most cogent character. Indeed, his brief dispatch containe noble Wwords—worthy of an honest, pure-hearted man, - bt It is not improbable that Pendleton ‘will be nominated to fill the vacancy.

The quality is 80 superior that foreign buyers take it in. preference to a cheaper article that can be obtained nearer howme. This bas as l*ﬂcil to do with the export domand as the reported partial failure of the crop in England, The Baltic shore which usuaily produces the bulk of the breadmaking grain consumed in northern Europe, is not much short of its usual supply, but the quality is not up to the average, and is far below that of the present ‘year's product in this country.— There is no likelihood, therefore, that prices of wheat; for good qualities, will go below what they are now. luferior grades will have to go at what price they will:command in a market where only the ‘best qualities receive attention.— Raisers of grain should bear in mind that'the better an article is the better price will be obtaimed for it. A little extra labor in thoroughly cleaning wheat will:amply compensate any extra expense ‘incurred, besides affording the’ farmer the satisfaction of having stood at the top of the market. It is pleasant to ‘m!'xd high” in any honorable business, and, besides, it ia more luerative than tu occupy & humble or degraded :position.

Mr. Fillmore made the first ad-. vance by intimating to Miss Weed, on the occasion of an accidental meeting at the dinner- table of the hotel, that if he were sure it would be agreeable to her father he would call upon him at his rooms.— On hearing this Mr. Weed immediately sought the rooms of Mr. Fillmore, where, with scarcely a momentary reference to bygones, personal or political, the most hearty good neighborhood and kindly understanding were restored, So these great co-workers in the old Whig time, both grown gray in the public service, are again friends after an estrangement of nearly a score of years.” '} Fully Explained. Spiritualism, says -the Indisnapolis Journal, ‘is a very abstruse science. To explain it thoroughly is rather beyond the ability of ordinary writers, and henge, it is with the utmost satisfaction that we have read the following very lucid explanation of the “harmonial philosophy” which underlies thé most ordinary “manifestations” It isstated that a gentleman whose name carries great weight with it, | has solved the problem, and declares that, “mysterious rappings proceed from the sub-derangement and hyper-effervesence of small conical glandular bodies situnted heterogeneously in the rotundum of the inferior: acephalohysts ; which, by coming in unconscious contact with the etherization of the five superior processés of the dorsal vertebree, also results in ‘tippings,’ by giving rise to spontaneous combustions with certain abnormal evacuations of multitudinous echinorhyncus bicornis, situated in various abdomal orifices. The rapsoceur from the ebulitions of the former in certain | temperamental structures; and the 'a'pa from the thoracle cartilagineous ducts henever their contents are compressed by cerebral inclination.” : We would’nt have believed it. | Progress Towards Specie Payments. As regards the progress toiards specie payments, the New York World thinks the honorable Secretary Boutwell, in selling his surplus gold, is like the traveler on the 10ad to Middletown, whajaccosted a boy with “Well sonnie, how far is it to Middletown?” Sonnie replied :—- “Well, sir, if you go right straight ahead on the way you,are going, it is about twenty-six thousand six hundred and six-ty-six and two-thirds of a mile, but if you will wheel right about and go ’tother | way, it is only about one-third of a mile.” | Such is the honorable Secretary Boutwell | on his Toad to specie payments, with his sales of government surplus gold, and stock gambling and gold ‘gambling, “financial strategy,” which disgrace the in | telligenice of the age. =~ '

Tuore s & movementon ot thrkghy out the Southern States, and somy of ‘the Middle States, to get up a Chase ‘party within the ranks ot the Repabli--can orgauization. What 'is qnlleq;'thc»' Conservative movement in the Soutbern States, 'which has just resulted in the ‘election of Gov. Walker in Virginia, and ‘has produced the nomination of Senter in Tennessce, and Hamilton in Texas, is but the forerunner of the nomination of Chief Justice Chase as the “Conservative” candidate for the Presidency in 1872. The Democratic party will not attempt to put up another candidate for the Presidency, but will support Judge Chase if nominated by a Conservative Convention. An intelligent Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazeite, speaking of the result in Virginia, says : “From first to last, Chief Justice Chase was consulted, and for much 'of the time he was on the ground in person. His prefereneg tor Walker did more than anything Jelse to divert the. negro vote from Wells, and it was the division of their vote that clected Walk--er, The election may be regarded as the first success of the Chase movement for the next Presidential campaign, which hds already much widar samifisaticna than many believe. In Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Maryland and New York, it has already actively manifeste 1 itself.” .

A similar movement is on foot in this State, and those who are leading if have ample funds to carry:out their purposes. We hear a great deal of a split in the Republican party of Maryland —of & “Creswell clique” and a “Bond clique”— but the only real division is between those who are earnest, active and true Republicans, who support General Grant and his Administrgtion, and those who woeuld destroy the/ Republican party in the interest of Judge Chase. It is but a continuation of: _tk;e isame movement that sent a contesting delegation to the Chicago National Conyention, the leaders of which held themselves aloof from the regular Repl_xblican organization, were refused recognition by the convention, and would undoubtedly have supported Judge Chase had the Tammany Hall Convention given hLim the nomi: nation. | These same men contested for a chare of the public offices in Maryland, and those who received them are now using the official patronage of the Goi',ernment to obtain control of & portion of the colored vote and bind them by 'secret oaths to implicitly follow their lead. The Ist of June convention was| really a convocation of these secret colored leagues, the object of which will ultimdtely be found to be to secare their support of a Conseryative candidate fur Governor. But few colored men in Maryland will support a Democratic candidate, hence the dodge of a Conservative candidate will be resorted to. Who that candidate will be, or at least who has already put himself in training as the most available, is very apparent to all wlho understand tbe chicanery of those who are laboring to divide the Republi-

can party. ) b The detection of Senator Sprague was the key note to' this movement. He is laboring to split the Republican pq’.rty‘ofb the North by his appeals to vhe mechanics and laboring classes. The defection of certain parties in Maryland is in harmo’ny‘ with the movements being made in other directions, and it becomes all true and earnest Republ'ican_s not’ to be misled and deceived into even a nominal support of thoze who are antagonistic to the great Republican party. Ina national point of view, this defection will shortly develop itself by the resuscitation of an old and well known Democratic journal at Washington as the organ of the Chuse party, and}nere in Maryland the starting of a paper in Baltimore, devoted to a disorganization of the Republiean party, is also spokenef. . " ' That the Republicans may know we are not merely theorizingjon this subject « we( copy the following from a recent Washington letter of the generally wellinformed corrdspondent of the Cincinnati {Qazette, which shows that the whole movement is beginning to be thoroughly understood’ at the capital, * As to the means of working secret leagues, cte., the Qazette says : ‘ :

The means in use are not at all open to the eyes of the public. ' A year previous to the Chicago convention the military authorities in Virginia discovered that the negro population of that State was being organized into secret politicalleagues by. persons traveling over the South at Government expense, ostensibly. as inspectors of schools, but really to orgamze these leagues in the interest of Mr. Chase for the Presidency. The same organization, formed in the same way, was traced by the military authorities in other parts of the South. It still cxists in Virginia. : oy In New York city thé movement has been both vigorous-and effective. There its effect has been to secure the primaries, and to be able to detignate the next State Central Republican Committee, which holds on for two years, and if it could be constituted as these men desire it, would have two of the most importaut years of the campaign in which to work. Well informed Republicans of New York city, who arc earnestly opposed to Mr. Chase, agree that the danger is very great, that this movement -will earry the city and enough of the State to sccure.the Central Committee., ’ : The Turner l‘i iR A correspondent writes us from Chicago under date the 10th: “The eclipse bad scarcely disappeared, when the Turners, who.are celebrating the seventeenth 'l.qnnual gathering, formed inte torchlight procession, greeted with fireworks from ‘different quarters, they passed from the North side ‘uﬁ)'chrk street to Farewell ‘Hall, where they held their final recep-. tion.

If a retailer sells a cigar, except taken at the time of sale from the original box, he is liable to two years imprisonment and a fine of” sl,soo‘! So in regard to chewing tobacco and snuff—they must be retailed from the original package, or a like penalty is incurred. A retailer eannot take a handful of eigars from a box in his show-case, %ace them upon the ouiside glass ang gell one or more from the lot without tne risk of fine and imprisonment; he must let his cusgomer select from the Box—from the original package himgelf- The unnecgémy obstructions to thc trade thus presented are calculated to distroy it and oppress a large and industrious class of citizens. Snuff cannot be gold from a jar, but must be taken from the bladder—the original package—by the cents’ worth. : Another Edict. - Commissioner Delano has just decid: ed ‘that a written extension of the payment of a mortgage requires the same stamp as the original document.” Also, in relation to | promisgory ‘notes, as follows : ‘A prt?milssory note, containing merely power to confess judgment, should be stpm?ed at the usual rate of notes; butif, asis often the case, it contains one or more stipulations in addition, such as without havng the beneiit of the Exemption Law, an agreement stamp is also required.

If this chargeis not true, the friends of Mr. Borie, or that gentleman himself, ought promptly to contradict it.’ If it is true, it is a terrible fact against this adminpistration and ought to be generally known. ‘We have for a long time been expecting to see something upon this subject from aunthentic quarters of the friends of the administration, but as yet have seen nothing, notwithstanding these terribly damaging charges have been made and repeated time after time, Is it true or not?

Accidental Poisoning--=A Young Man Killed Through the Stupidity jof A Druggist’s Clerk, Z The contest between the Red Stocking and Forest City Base Ball Clubs, which took place at Ogden Park on Saturday, drew to Chicago a large concourse of epectators from all parts of the country to witness.it. Among the number was & young ‘man named George Demirng, son of g South Bend hotel-keeper. - ! s

The young man arqgved_in. Chicago on the day of the match and putup at the Briggs House. Shortly after “arriving here he was.taken with the summer comcomplaint in such a serious manner as to be under the necessity of seeking the advice of a physician. -He was furnished with a prescription, which he proceeded to have filled at a drug store convenient.

| Feeling a lijtle better, young Deming proceeded to Ogden Park. Here he was exposed to the hot sun for some two hours, when he was again suddenly attacked with his complaint, so as to be forced toleave the grounds. He grew rapidly worse, and by the time he reached North Clark street was in a complete state of prostzation. He had strength enough, however, toreach a drug store on this street, where he asked for something that would relieve him in his agony. The clerk, who was a German, imperfectly comprenended him, and gave him a bottle of aconite. Deming instautly proceeded fo take a large dose of it, and by the time he reached the hotel took another. The consequence was, that shortly after his arrival at the hotel he was & corpse, dying in great agony. ' The best of medical attéendance was procured for the unfortunate young man by the proprietor of the-hotel, but all was of no. avail. s sl

Upon young Deming’s decease; his father ‘was immediately telegraphed to at South Bend as to what disposition should be made of the body. At his request, it was forwarded to South Bend yestérday mornSmgge o bologroux 5 usn thicr T DUATON UIIBL WU the arrival of the train at that point from Chicago, with the body on board, it was met by an extremely large concourse of citizens, to do honor to the remains.

Another Horrible Suicide. Again has our city been the theatre of a deliberate self-murder. A man ‘named Marcus Merchant, a resident-of Michigan, 8 person of drunken, dissolute habits, had been staying at the Lake House:a few days prior to Wednesday last, and from hig manner was supposed to be partially deranged or suffering from an attack of delirium tremens. He had in his possession a medium sized revolver which he at times flouished and threatened.to kill the first erson he should meet. ' Early Wednesgay morning he wandered from the hotel up town, and seeing a light in Mr White’s establishment, he entered it and drove Mr. W. out with his revolver. Deputy Marshal Powell was called and the pistol was for: cibly taken from the manias, but he was not arrested. Later in the day, Merchant came to officer Powell, apparently ‘in his right mind, stating that he was going home and wanted his revolver, which was ‘given Him. Concealing the weapon up his coat sleeve he proceeded to the Lake House and entering the office invited Mr. Lon, ‘Lewis, who was sitting there, to follow him. Going arcund the ~corner of the hotel, he drew his revolver and placing it to his head, pulled the trigger, but the cartridge "did not explode. Again the 'pistol wasg raised, and this time went off, killing _him instantly. The deed was witnesged by several, as it took place in plain sight of the depot and within ten rods of Main street. Miss Cora Patterson, the daughter of the landlord of the Lake House, was standing in the yard buta few feet from the spot, and seeing the man’s intentions, ‘entreated him to desist, but without availy and as the report of the shot rang out, the young lady fell to the ground in a deathlike swooen, overcome by the scene, . ' An inquest was held, on Merchani’s body, Justice Perry :,ﬁtin'g&s Coroner, the vordict being that the deceased came to his death by & pistol shot fired by his own hand.while' laboring under partial insani« The deceased was quite well off in world’s goods.
