“The Democratic Reaction.’
What is characterised ** the - Demo
cratic reaction in Ohio'* ia ceiy puxxling
to those party men who b*d their mind*
net on a new and triumphant political
organization, compound*! of nine part*
Democrat to ooo of Liberal Republican.
The Cincinnati Commercial and the New
York and Chicago Tribune* are naturally
enough disposed to find fault with it be
cause it not only diaappoint* their ex
pectation*. but remit* them and tbe Lib
eral Republican* generally to the horn*
of an unpleasant dilemma. To* go back
and merge themaelrea again in the rank*
of the Grant Radical*, whom they hare
cameatly sought to defeat, would be
awkward; to go forward under the Dem
ocratic banner they are wholly unwilling
to do, while to stand where they am is
political isolation and nonentity.
It i* very probable that these organ-
will finally *ettle back again a* good
Grant Centralist* and «upport a third
term reflection with their accu*tomed
ability. Although willing to lead the
Democratic host* against Grant, they
will never follow or march in the ranks ;
and this is probably true of the mass of
their adherent*. The mo*t of them will
go back on some preten se or other, how
ever unpkaaant the retreat may be. Th*
Grant men will not embrace tbe prodigal*
or kiU the fatted calf. On the contrary,
the Rad* will bleu* them, “over the left,'
a* the author* of their recent defeat*, and
unanimou-ly assign them back seat* for
an indefinite period in the future. Per
haps tbe chagrin attending eithei alter
native is so well balanced thnt the column
may divide upon it, and part of them still
cooperate with the Demo.uut*. We shall
see.
Meanwhile, the history of the brief oo*
alition ha* illustrated an extreme liber
ality on the part of the Democracy. Con
fident all along that they must furnish
from their rank 4 nine-tenths of the
voters, they have bargained for nothing
more from the Liberal Republicans tUan
a fair and honest public administration.
They have demanded neither nomina
tions nor tbe enforcement of any great
distinctive party principle—content to
hold all personal and party aspirations in
abeyanco to the supreme demand* of the
oountry, and especially of that portion of
it more victimised to a wretched intol
erance than to the ravages of civil war.
With on extraordinary enthusiasm
they brought almost their full party
force to th# support of this programme,
only to disoover the m eagerness of the
Liberal contingent. It was powerless to
help them. or wane the oountry. It was
a failure as a political coalition.
The fact is, the whole movement prob
ably drew it< strength simply from politi
cal tradition. It was said that all anti
war parties in the Unite.! States have per
ished, ami it was assumed that the Demo-
<vatic party must necessarily meet the
•am* tote. No doubt this assumption
lies at the bottom of much of the readi
ness among Democrat* to embrace such
eotlitfon*. But it is now apparent that
th* great historical Democrats party,
which has wwducted (this country safely
through two foreign War*, and who*© ca
reer U identified with all it* prosperity
and glory, is not going to wreefr simply
because it divided in a cruel internecine
strife. Whatever defeats may be imme
diately before it, it will still live, find, re
newing again it* ancient strength, ulti
mately ywmnmc tbe reins of power, and
once more guide tbfl country in the line
of a generous and national
policy. So may it be.

The Atlawts PosT-orricn Defalca
tiojc.—The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday give* some particulars of the
•lefalcation of James Dunning, late
money-order clerk in the post-office of
that city, which it obtained from Mr.
Woodwarl. special agent of the Post-
office Department. Mr. Woodward is of
opinion that the defalcations have been
going on for a considerable time, and ex
plain-* bow they fir j t came to be sus
pected:
The post-office at Atlanta is the reser
voir for the surplus funds of the Money-
order Department of smaller offices in
this neighborhood. It was the duty of
Mr. James Dunning, as he was in charge
of the money department here, to re
ceive these funds and immediately re
turn receipt* to the post-masters by
whom the several sums were forwarded.
Mr. Dunning would send the required re
ceipts for part of the money thus re
ceived. but would not at once receipt for
all. Sometimes he never would receipt
for this balance, ami at other time* he
would not send his receipts until after
the lapn'© of days, and even weeks. Of
course the tover&l postmaster* did not
fancy this course of proceedings, ami the
complaints to the department at .Wash
ington became so frequent a* to arouse
■©uqrichn that all wfi? not right at this
office. Oi|r readeri can see how Dun
ning could appropriate thi* unreceipted
for balanc**, enter upofc ljif book* the
amount be did receipt for, and thus for a
considerable time carry on hi** plundering
without any evidences of it appearing
upon the books. >fr- Woodward was

The Ritualists and Anti-Ritu
alists iu England.
Archdeacon Dennison, one of the mod
igorous detonders of ritualism and the
confessional in England, thus boldly
throws down the gauntlet to his oppo
nent* in a letter to the London New*: If
the bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, or
any other bishop or bishops, will have
open war, let it come. If they like to
“snub*’ every Catholic, and “pat on the
back** every ultra Protestant, let them
follow their inclination. If they elect to
stimulate popular ignorance and passion
by calling us “dishonest,” “disloyal,”
•plotters,” “traitor*,” so let it be. If
they prefer to administer their dioceses
inequitably, let them so administer, a*
some are doing now. If they propose to
repeat the policy which drove out Wesley
a century ago, let them try its effect upon
us. If they think it will promote God’s
troth and the good of soul* to see wlmt
.ton be done toward procuring persecuting
acts of Parliament, let them try their
hands. We are quite ready, and we
should fear nothing if they should suc
ceed. Bat they will not succeed. And
Per centra the Rock, organ of the Eng
lish “Low Church” this
broadside at the ritualist* •
Ritualism does not involve merely the
adoption of any number of ceremonial
observances, more or less, in the per
formance of puhlio worship. The strict
est adherence to the rubrics may bo per
fectly consistent with sound and scriptu
ral views of Christian doctrine. It is not
the number or even the variety of the
services or the vestments worn by the
officiating minister, that constitute* the
chief offence which ritualism presents. It
is the fact that a system of doctrine con
trary to the teaching of tue New Testa
ment i* represented uqdfir outward
ordinanoos. The*. this alone, is the
point at D*uo between the evangelical
party and the ritualist*. It i* not a mere
contest about words, or the shape or color
of the robes of office worn by the clergy.
Ritualism, a* wo understand it. is a ques
tion of doctrine. It is theology in sym
bol It is the picture book of reiigipua
instruction. That Instruction we hold to
be erroneous; 4 neutralises t’*e efficacy
of tbe atonement; it revives the «* weak
and beggarly element*” of on absolute
dispensation, it fails to distinguish «• the
substance** under the Gospel from “the
shadows* • under the Liw. The absolute
and inalienable priesthood of Christ is
practically ignored. An exclusive caste
of sacrificing priests is set up between
the sinner and the Savior. Thus, instead
of leaving the access to heaven free and
open through the one Mediator, ” the
• an Gkriap Jesus,” these self-constituted
priest* assume to be |ht» legal proprietors
of our immortal fouls.

and groat granddaughter qf IJamual
Adams, the Revolutionary patriqt. Mr.

her affection, but oould not persuad- her
father to oooseat to their marriage. The
old doctor, who concealed undor bland
manner.- a perverse and obstinate tom-
x-r, oould not bear the thought of pari

must be married, he had in view a more
ambitious match. He oould find nothing
to object to in the character of young
Camming, yhp was a gallant, generous

perous to make hjq marriage tq the
young Bostonian every way proper—yet
i or years she could not gain her father's
assent, ftfld was bpiught to the brink of
the grave by the struggle between her
love and her filial duty. Finally, upon
recovering from brain fever, and after
taking the advice of two grave
lawyer*, classmates in college of her
father, she decided to leave his
house, take refuge with a friend
in the country, and from her house be
married to Col. Cumming. The marriage
took place in Concord about 36 years ago.

but exchange could not now bb boughtA-s

It would seem, from further conversa

That Letter Again.

last evening ascertained from Mr. Wil

The Stokes Trial.
Upon the resumption of the Stokes
trial to-day, Rufus Andrews deposed that
Stokes came to consult him before the
shooting ^nd gave him a retainer. He
was then nervous and excited, and wit
ness thought he was not sane. Thu Dis
trict Attorney asked the. witness if he
had any other reason for thinking the
prisoner insane beyond the fact tlxat he
gave him (witness^* retainer and made
him his counsel. (Laughter.)
Shanks, the city editor Qf tho Tribune,
who was brought from Brooklyn on a
writ of habeas corpus, testified that
Stokes had expressed to him fears that
Fisk would toko hi* life. Other witnwao*
testified to hearing Stok«* oxpresa fairs
that Fisk or hi* emissaries would kill
him. [Bah!—E.l*v T. »k M.*}

obtained under the commission deserves
careful consideration. The report will be
laid before Parliament and it will be for
you then to determine whether it can be
of any assistance, to you. The Comedian
Pacific Railway Company, to whom tho
royal charter granted, have, I regret
to say, beep unable to. make financial
arrangements necessary for the construc

have, therefore, exeouted a surrender of

called upon to take stops to secure an

Andy Johnson Serenaded—He Speaks.
Washington. October 23.—Ei-Presi-
dent Johnson was serenaded to-night at
the Metropolitan Hotel, the front of
which was decorated with flags and Chi
nese lanterns. An irnmeiu ie crowd of
people was present. After music by the
band colls were made for Johnson, when
he appeared and was received with cheers.
He spoke of having made his first appear
ance in Washington thirty years ago:
briefly alluded to the various political
positions held by hitn during that time,
and expressed his cordial thanks for this *
warm welcome from those who were either
witnesses of bis acts or had heard of them.
He alluded to the period of his Presi
dential life when ho lived in the midst of
calumny and detraction, and unprincipled
a&saults, [A man in the crowd ex
claimed. “ And you still live Andy.” To
which he replied, “ Yes, thank God, I
am still alive, and not only live physi
cally but I am alive to the preservation
of our institutions and the best interests
of the country.”] (Applause.) If any
on? came here expecting him to argut
questions or make an oratorical display
and exhibit fireworks, oil he hod to say
there would be a disappointment. Even
if he had the mental power, he had not the
physical strength on the present occasion.
Wruit he would say now would be by way
of inquiry, and he would ask, what kind
of a government have 'wo now? (Ap
plause, and cries' of toll *us.) We used to
have some idea* that there was a Consti
tution. (Laughter) and a Constitutional
government, and as I argued when 1 first
made my appearance as a member of
Congress, the inquiry formerly w;is as to
tho powers conferred upoti the govern
ment. It was thought L*ng ago thore whs a
limitation to power, both as to the several
States ami tho general Government.
Under that instrument such was the view
of Washington, the fat her, of Ids country,”

NIGHT DISPATCHES,
Meeting of Dank Presidents,
Mew ycmK, October 33. -At a meeting
of bank president? to-day. Mr. Williams,
President of the Metropolitan National
Bank, submitted a letter he had received
from President Grant in reply to one
which he (William*), at the request of a
friend, baa written to President Grant.
The reply of the latte? w*w very brief,
and limply stated that for three or four
week* the President would feel disposed,
in case of urgent need, to issue weekly
$3,000,000 or $4,000,000 out of the legal
reserve.
T4« following resolutions were passed
a* the result of the meeting:
Resolved, That the message of the
President of the United Statea to the
hank* of New York be respectfully and
gratefully acknowledged, and we cor
dially reciprocate his kind wishes, and
will act in the spirit which he recom
mend*. .
Resolved, That from and after the 1st
of November next the equalization of
legal tenders by the banks of this associ
ation be discontinued.
The proposition came up to use na
tional bank currency note* in Clearing
house settlements. The proposal was
not carried.
Expelled#
Edward Haight, Jr., a member o? the
firm of Haight & Co^ of Wall street,
representing the company in the Stock
Exchange, was expelled this morning by
a unanimous vote o£ the governing com
mittee. The reason or the expulsion waa
because his fataer, El wan 1 Haight, Sr.,
oven ire w their a*x*« >unt $HX),000 in the
Bank of the Commonwealth, paid part of j pi- f iVritum protesting againsf the res
it and failed to pay the rest, resulting in , t oration of monarchy without consulting
the ruin of the bank. t the country.
who was first in peone «*> ' tir-t in war.
and who zacri-ieea bls ease and received
no pay for his services s an-l so thought
Jefferson and those great men who framed
thq Constitution.
When he first came to Congress there
were two great parties— the Whig and
the Democratic He wished to-day the
country, was under* their control. , He
feared the l»e ’pie would never again luive
two suoh parties. The differencebetween
them was merely this: The Democrats
contended for strict construction, while
the Wuigs claimed a little more latitude.
While these parties were thus opposed
they both agreed in the essential princi
pal, that there was a Constitution. But
how was it now, or within the last
six years ? When a measure was
brought up in Congress and its constitu
tion? lity was questioned, tho reply would
be in effect, “Down with the Constitution.
We’ve got the numbers.” (Laught *r.)
And while he was here as the friend of
the Constitution, battling and contend
ing for its existence, the Constitution
was taken from the archives, tom in
pieoes and trampled under foot, the
query came up, what kind of govern
ment have we ?
The oonsequonoes of tho war had per
fectly effaced and wiped out the limita
tions and restrictions of the Constitution;
the people therefore require to l»e indoc
trinated in the principles in which the
Constitution was established. If the
Constitution is wiped out and Congress is
without restraint, 'there are ve ? Hav
ing a Government controlled by a body
of men without limitation as to power;
no constitution to restrain them, but act-'
iug according to their own will and in
terest, we have the most odious depotisra
ever permitted to be established. Rather
than accept such a body of men, calling
courts with unlimited power give him a
themselves Congress, or Parliament, or
wise and just prince in preference. If the
other departments were uuvde subordinate
and gayo thm* assent that the whole
thing hid bettjr be wiped out. (Ap
plause.) If all power win to bo centered
in one man, let him be a just and good
man; let him be some man whom it
would be a pride to call master. It had
been said, “why, Johnson, you are insane octSltf
on the Constitution. The whole thing is
played out.” The liberties of the people
are gone if this be insanity. He wished
to God there was more insanity in the
country. (Laughter.) He wished the
whole country would become insane on
Constitutional liberty. They should be
aroused to it. If the people could see as
their fathers saw, things wo.ild be differ-
ent,
lie then spoke of the.increase of plun
derers'- tho people being taxed to sub
serve tho interests of particular classes. Just ^ .j
This injustice applied to both the Fed- bio uackin
eral Government an l the States. Ho for sale at low j». u
wished it were passible to have an am
phitheatre constructed to seat all the
people of the country, so that when the
curtain was drawn they could see what
was going on. There would then be
such a reaction a£ neve? wqp felt or heard
of before, ]|u% it might be »iul this was
all tall?—wo can carry* tlie election^.
r* t”/ ^\n be t7 e French Millinery
people the ballot-box was corrupted
and degraded. He never was a partisan
in politics or a fanatic on religion. “The
world was hia homo and every honest
man his brother,” in the language of
Burke, the eminent British statesman.
When bad in* n combine for.corrupt pur
poses, the time lias come when good inch
should combine to resist ei\on>iu i.n;cnts
on the Constitution ai\d odfoty. Let
the good, honest and pure men associate
in a common cause to resist all encroach
ments an constitutional liberty. He
knew there were societies culled granges,
but beyond this ho did not care if they
would only take under their control Sta te
and national governments and adminis
ter and preserve them for the interest* of
the people. To this ho wonUl say amen.
So bo it.
He then branched off on the Eubjocfc of
finance, advocating silyer iy* the Consti
tutional currency, withdrawing all th.)
national banlf notes, uud issuing for them
greenback* to be received in payment
all Ctovernment dues. »Bank*, broker;
and corporations could all suspend, and
there wa3 no way to reach them. There
was one portion of the people that did
not suspend, namely, the fcix-payers, the
producers of the country. The speculators
could suspend with million*. There were
two things oeibun—doatli and payment
of taxes. He* said it was now time we
should return to tho old landmarks. The
time had ooinc when monopolies should
cease. * As a general thing, the people
did not seem to be alarmed about the
third Presidential term, and by apathy
many a nation has lost it/ liberty. Pewo*.
is passing from the great snofo V° a few.
Johnson then spoke ip tavor of election
of President for a single term^of six years;
making elective by the people,
and £pding th,c Judge** tatu t’ire«* ,
classes, each das* to bo ole-Jtad at the
time of the election of President. This,
he thought, would do away with the cor
ruption by which some Senators buy their
seats. But what kind of a Government
had they now ? A stateocracy—the power
'of the army. Was it not time fur the
people to improve their government,
which was to preserve the people in the
enjoyment; of foelr liberties and private
pursuit ? Suppose this should be passed,
how* easy it would be to follow .the exam
ple of Napuleon, who# elected. President
of France for ten years, so arranged af
fairs as to be elected Emperor of France.
He had seen what unarmed people would
submit to when brought into conflict with
armed men. It war, therefore, well for
the people ti* oarerta*n their true con,
ditions.
The crowd cheered, there was music by
the bond, and many old friends rushed
in the parlor to congratulate the ex-
Presideut. who had spok u to them tall
two hours.

Cincinnati, October 20.—A Gazette
special from Bedford, Lawrence county,
Iml., say*: Thomas Christopher, living
near that place, a Uackamitb, who hati
lost one leg. entertained a neighbor,
John Morrow, last night, who had put up
with him for tfaenigb$.. Having suspected
an improper intimacy between thi* man
and hi* wife for some time, he watched
closely and entering hia wife’s bedroom
about ten o'clock he verified his suspi
cion*. In a fit of frenzy, armed with a
knife, he first stabbed his three children,
then his wife, and turning on John Mor
row dealt him twp gashes in the face.
Morrow threw him down, took me knife
from him and pbuiged it in his body,
killing him inst-intly. Morrow was ar-
rdstedb Mrs. Chrhtophc-r wa* stihBed
in the abdomen, and the bowel* pro
truded from the-wound. It is thought
she and one child will die. AU the pare
tie* bore good names and were respect
