HELMBOLD AHEAD OF FIERREPONT—BUB
-BCRIPTION OF $40,000 FOU THE SEYMOUR
AND BLAIR CAMPAIGN.
The following correspondence is import
ant, as it practically illustrates the views
of thinking and enterprising merchants,
and those who have not altogether lost
their love of country or Constitution as
handed down by our fathers, or who have a
respect for maintaining its honor and char
acter :
594 Broadway, N. Y., Oct. 14, 1868.
To Gcorye Washington Langley, Esq., firm of
Langley, Sauterlee, Black well & Cos., 379
Important
Broadway, New York:
Dear Sir: When Horatio Seymour was
by acclamation nominated for President of
the United States by the Democratic party,
it was conceded by all parties that he was
a good statesman and sound defender of
our Constitution ; but since his nomination
I have noticed many slanderous remarks in
regard to his conduct during the war.—
Happily, Hon. A. G. Curtin, ex-Governor of
Pennsylvania, has expressed himself in a
most friendly manner, remarking that the
least said against Seymour’s conduct du
ring the rebellion the best for the Republi
can party, as lie would acquit him of such
abuse.
Now, as to F. P. Blair, I have observed
in several Republican papers statements
that he had no claims whatever upon the
Democratic party, and to this I would say
why not? Was it because he fought in the
army and for the restoration of the Union?
He was nominated at Tammany Ilall with
shouts of applause, just after proclaiming
that we must have a President untram
melled by an unconstitutional, oppressive
and arbitrary Congress. Since the close of
the rebellion I have carefully noticed the
expression of Southern journals, politicians
and merchants, and find that all are de
sirous of living in harmony and expeet
that the election of Seymour and Blair will
be the means of encouragement and the
extension of the right-hand of fellowship,
thereby advancing a complete vindication
of the object of the war and of the Consti
tution, aud restoring the rights of the iin
pdTerishcd and oppressed portion of our
country.
Before concluding, I will address myself
to the young and enterprising merchants
and laboring classes. In the various city
papers of recent date, I have noticed a cor
respondence between Judge E. Pierrepont
and A. T. Stewart, the substance of which
was that they both desired the election of
U. S. Grant for President, Judge Pierre
pont tendering a ciieck for $20,000 for fur
thering his election. Now, to the sensible
reader aud to the young merchant, is not
this in Itself perfectly explanatory of their
interests, aud is it not opposed to their de
velopment? Do they expect to be benefited ?
Is it not for purely mercenary motives?
The contest presents a well-defined issue
between the bondholders and the enterpris
ing aud laboring classes, and resolves itself
into an oppression. Greenbacks for one
and gold for the other. In this correspond
ence I would not wish to assert any thing
against the payment of the debt, but the
interest is exorbitant—it cannot be paid,
excepting in the same currency as purchas
ed, and when this is once done capital seeks
other investment of a more lucrative
character, thereby producing a revenue,
and gradually approaching a gold basis.
In conclusion, permit me to tender my
check for $40,000, to be used in such man
ner as you may think most advisable for
the furtherance of views.
True to our friends and kind to the weak
is the Democratic doctrine advocated by
Truly yours,
H. T. Helmbold.
REPLY.
H. T. Helmbold, Esq., 594 Broadway:
Your letter of the 4th inst. received, con
taining check for $40,000. This amount I
shall use in the most appropriate manner.
I perused the contents of your letter with
the utmost gratification. The question is
presented to the people whether they will
aid in electing au administration bent on
trampling the Constitution into the dust,
and elevating upon its ruins a power con
trolled by bondholding aristocracy, whose
motto is gold for the rich and rags for the
dri-tt)cclili) Constitutionalist.

*7JtTlie remaining Southern States we class as
doubtful:’
Arkansjm. ..
Missouri..a. 11 South Carolina 8
Total 29
If We give these doubtful States to the Radi
cals, the vote will stand 110, the Democratic
vote 137.' Lonisihnn, we may add, we consider
as probably Democratic.
Thiß is spdjciently encouraging to allow a
margin. If we lose Indiana, the Democratic
vote of these States will stand 124, the Radical
vote 123. If we. carry Louisiana, Arkansas and
Missouri we can disp.euse yvith Pennsylvania.
The doubtful States in the North are Pennsyl
vania, Minnesota, KaWas, New Hampshire and
Wisconsin. The fight will be over them. At
any rate there is a chance, and an equal chance.
No Democrat should be discouraged, but, on
the contrary, shonld work with renewed ac
tivity.

The conlest for Governor in Indiana is so
exceedingly close that it will probably require
the official canvass to determine the result. It
is likely that there are hot 500 voles difference
between Heudricks and Baker on a total poll
of 375,000.
We have had in our history a number of such
close contests. In 1849 Marcus Morton,
Democrat, was elected Governor of Massachu
setts by a majority of one vole over Edward
Everett and scattering* the law requiring a
majority over all to elect. The vote stood for
Morton !. ..51,084
Everett and scattering 51,033
Majority ..i 1
In 1844, Henry Ciay carried Tennessee for
President against James K. Polk, the Demo
cratic candidate, by a majority of 113 votes out
of a poll of 110,000. In 1840, Gen. Harrison
carried Pennsylvania for President by 343
votes on u poll of 288,056, and he was success
ful in Maine by 410 votes on a poll of 90,000.
At the September election, In 1840, in Maine,
Edward Kent., the Whig candidate for Gover
nor, had 68 majority only over John Fairfield,
the Democratic nominee. In 1848, John B.
Weller, Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, wag beaten 250 votes by Seabnry Ford,
Whig and Abolitionist, of Geangn county. In
1850, Horatio Seymour, Democrat, was defeat
ed for Governor in the great Stale of New York
by Washington Hunt, Whig, by a majority of
250. In 1854, Governor Seymour was defeated
for re-election by Myron Clark, the Whig and
Temperance candidate, by a majority of 354
only. In 1857, (lie contest for Governor in
Ohio was exceedingly close between Salmon
P. Chase, the Republican, and H. B. Payne, the
Democratic candidate. On a poll of 800,000,
Mr. Chase had but 1,200 majority.
In 1844 the result of (he Presidential election
was determined in favor of Mr. Polk over
Henry Clay by a majority of 5,000 in Ihn State
of New York. Without that State Mr. Clay
was elected. Iu 1848 the vote of the single
State of Pennsylvania elected General Taylor
for President over General - Cass, and in 1850
the vote of ttie same State elected Mr. Buchan
an over Mr. Fremout. In 183 G the vote ot
Pennsylvania determined the Presidential con
test in favor of Martin Van Buren. These are
the closest great elections in our modern poli
tical history.
Business, not Words?— There have been
no new developments concerning the proposal
of sun dry leaders of the Democratic party to
shelve Mr. Seymour and substitute Mr. Chase
as the candidate lor the Presidency. Messrs.
Tildeu, Belmont and Schell repudiate the idea,
but the World, of Saturday, and the National
Intelligencer still earnestly advocate it. The
whole business, thus far, seems to have been
grossly mismanaged. Until the arrangement
to take up Mr. Chase had been perfected, the
journals which approved of such a course
should have abstained from repudiating Mr.
Seymour, and thereby doing him incalculable
damage. As they have now brought about
confusion, and made public these important
differences in the party, it might be the wisest
thing, under the circumstances, to make some
change either in the candidates or in the con
duct of tlie canvass, which would tend to the
restoration of unity and confidence. About
the propriety of taking up Judge Chase, or the
probability of now defeating the Radical party,
we refrain, .at present, from expressing any
opinions. While entertaining very decided
views on these points, we desire to abstain
from in anv way embarrassing those who may
differ from us.— Baltimore Gazette.
The Defeat of Mr. Vallandigham.—
Dayton, October 13.—Vallandigham, the pro
bate judge, aud prosecuting attorney, were
all present at the Soldiers’ Home place of vot
ing today, to challenge the votes of the in
mates of the Home, Vallandigham being chief.
At 4 o’clock, 250 votes bad been polled, and
249 of these votes we.re open Republican bal
lots. The object in challenging was, doubtless,
to cause delay, that the fewest number might
be polled.
The above is from the telegraphic columns
of the Gazette. Itexplams why Mr Vallandig
ham was beaten. The Soldiers’ Home is en,
tirely under Radical influence, and no soldier
is received there or permitted to remain who
will not vote the Radical ticket. Hence their
votes in a body against the Democratic candi
date. But these 250 men came from all parts of
the State, and really had no more right to vote
in Dayton than members of the Legislature have
to vote in Columbus. It seems impossible for
the Radicals to have a victory anywhere except
by gross tyranny and fraud.

Wonderful Example of Mechanism.—
The Adding machine recently, invented by Mr.
Geo. H. Blelock, is certainly oue of the most
useful and interesting inventions of the age,
and that our readers may form an idea of its
construction and operation, we give the follow
ing description:
A black walnut base, four inches square and
one and a half inches high, supports an upright
case of proportionate size, which contains the
simple movements of the machine. The front
of the case is a modest dial, plainly marked off
into numbered sections, and furnished with
hands similar to those of a clock. Nine keys,
representing the numerals, project upward
from the base, each one bearing the stamp of
the figure it represents, and all of them con
nected with and working the movement within
the case, by an ingenious, yet simple device.—
The mathematical operation, therefore, is but a
simple following.with the eye of the column of
figures to be added, and a touching of the pro
per keys ; meanwhile the hands of the dial, as
if inspired with human intelligence, record the
result of the manipulation with mental speed
and mechanical accuracy.
The efficiency of this remarkable invention in
performing arithmetical calculations is at once
apparent, addition aud multiplication being
rapidly performed, with little thought or ac
tion on the part of the operator, and with a
precision only attainable by simplemechanistp.
Using the instrument with honest eye and
finger, the least experienced cannot be at fault.
Though mental calculations are liable to trifling
inaccuracies, the thoroughly constructed brain
of this unerring calculator will not permit
the least variation from truth.

[From the Memphis Avalanche, October 17.
An Arkanfutfl Consignment Fails to Beach
its Destination.
BOXES OF “ LOYAL ” WAR MATERIAL THROWN
TO CAT FISH AND TCRfLB.
It is a notorious fact that the four thousand
stands of arms recently brought to this city and
stored with Comer & Richardson, until trans
portation to Arkansas conld be provided, were
obtained in the North through the influence of
Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, ancL.United
States Senator Yates, of Illinois; that they
were designed for the use of the negro Loyal
Leagues of Arkansas, against the whites, to the
extent of bloodshed, if deemed necessary ; and
that they arrived here in charge of Wm. L.
Hodges, Arkansas penitentiary contractor, and
one ot the most infamous of the carpet-baggers
of that State. It is also a matter ol notoriety
that the pretense of the arms having been or
dered to the State government of Arkansas is
a falsehood, it being a matter of record that no
appropriation has been made for that purpose.
It is equally well that Hodges, who ac
companied these arms to Memphis, is the agent
of the Radical Executive Committee at Little
Rock, and a prominent leader in the Loyal
Leagues.
One after another the commanders of the
White and Arkansas river packets refused to
be the mediums of introducing into Arkansas
arms and ammunition, to be placed in the hands
of ignorant negroes for U6e against the white
people of the State, and the inauguration of a
reign of terror, it was simply impossible to
secure their transportation ; so the Memphis
aud Little Rock Radical leaders counseled
together as to the mo6t effectual method of
turning the affair into capital against Southern
white men, and for use in behalf of Radicalism
North. The little steamer Hesper,a worthless,
unseaworthy tub, about as large as an old
fashioned cooking stove, was provided with a
Radical.captain and Radical crew at Little Rock,
and seut here for the arras. The commander—
a notorious bloviating Radical, named Houston
—no sooner readied the Memphis wharf than,
in accordance with the programme, he regaled
every crowd surrounding him with a recital ol
what he intended to do. He proposed taking
those arms to Little Rock if he liad to fight ail
the “ rebels ”in the South. Sulphur and brim
stone emitted from his mouth iu huge jets, and
his wondering auditors were astonished that
General Grant didn’t engage, in lieu of his
armies during the war, this valiant fellow, who,
if as gifted in battle as in “ talking fight,”
could have 11 cleaned out ” the South in a jiffy.
The Radical deliberations had resulted in a
determination to have the arms destroyed by
violence, and the affair telegraphed throughout
the North as a “ Ku-klax outrage” of stunning
proportions. A few sensational lies were alone
necessary to put the matter in shape for the
Northern Radical press. It might not He with
out effect in November.
Thursday afternoon the Hesper left with the
arms, and on the same night she was boarded
and stripped of her cargo. The programme
was carried out to the letter, and if the masks
had been torn from the faces of the hundred
men who pitched the guns overboard, more
than one Radical leader would doubtless have
been recognized. Many were reported missing
from the city between 4, p. in., Thursday and
sunrise yesterday.
The following particulars of the seizure were
obtained, in substance, from Captain John
Ford, of the impressed tug Nettie Jones :
About five o’clock Thursday afternoon, the
tug Nettie Jones, Captain John Ford, left the
wharf for Fort Pickering, having a barge in
tow, and intending to return with lumber. —
l’he tug reached Its destination and lauded at
about half-past five o’clock. No one was in
sight; but the line had scarcely been “ made
fast” before the spot was covered with men, ail
so securely masked as to be unrecognizable.-
They were probably a hundred in number, and
had evidently been conec.iled- for some time
under the bluff. Had they sprang out of the
earth their appearance before the stanied crew
could hardl v have been more sadden. Without
speaking a word, they quickly boarded the tug,
took possession of the pilot-house and engine
room, and ordered Captain Fold to. iuuue
diololy start.down the river,'adding,' lij } way’wf
an incentive! to promptness, ttiat somel/bdy
might be hint in the event of a refusal.
As soon ns Captain Kurd could sufficiently
recover from his fright to decide whether his
unbidden guests were a hundred or a thousand
in number, and whether the height of ordinary
men or tall as church steeples, he comprehend
ed that resistance was out of the question.—
Accordingly, he ordered one of the crew to
cast off the line, and in a few moments the
lug was rapidly steaming for President’s Island
chute.
Upon taking possession, the new command
ers kept a vigilant eye upon the crew, not al
lowing any one of them to leave his post for
even a moment. The engineer Was not per
mitted to oil his machinery, the mysterious
passengers evidently fearing that he might sud
denly put it out of repair. The head of the
tug was held steady down the river until ap
proaching Cat Island, twenty-five miles below,
near the Arkansas shore. This was between
1% aud 8 o’clock, and Captain Ford was order
ed to run his tug alongside the little steamer
Hesper, which left the city during the after
noon with the cargo of Radical arms for Ar
kansas, and was tied up, wooding. During
the trip the leaders of this mysterious party iu
formed Ford that they intended overhauling
the Hosier and destroying the arms, but that
strict orders had been issued to the men to
harm no one, and respect all other property.
In obedience to orders, Captain Ford ran the
tug alongside. This was no sooner accomplish
ed than, leaving two of the number iu the pilot
house, two iu the engine room, and one in tho
cabin, ns a guard—the latter over one of the
crew who had insulted the leader—the veiled
party suddenly sprang aboard the Hesper.—
Little or nothing was said, aud the boarders,
who evidently had an eye to business,"placed
the crew under surveilance aud commenced the
work in hand. The gnu boxes were broken
open with axes and hatchets, the guns taken
out and thrown into the river. Many were
broken before being consigned to the element.
A large quantity of ammunition in the hold,
marked “sundries,” was also thrown over
board. The boxes were shoved overboard aftor
them, and many of them were seen by passen
gers on the Mayflower, floating with the cur
rent. In half an hour the task was accomplish
ed and the party quietly returned to the tug,
leaving the Hesper adrift and in possession of
all her crew who remained, Capt. Houston and
bis brother having made rapid strides for the
woods as soon as the Nettle was seen heating
down upon their craft;
The mysterious raiders once more aboard,
Captain Ford was required to turn the boat
northward, and proceed until further orders.
At midnight she reached a point in President’s
Island chute, eight miles bc.'ow the city. Here,
by order of the veiled coramauder, she was run
aground. No sooner bad this been done than
some one, until that moment invisible, on the
island, was hailed. A minute afterward a skiff
put out from the shore, aud was rowed along
side. Whether the person in it was black or
white could not be ascertained; as he, too, was
masked. Six of the raiders got into the skiff
and were taken ashore, and the skiff continued
making trips until 3, a. m„ when the last
six w’ere salely carried over. But before any
one left, strict orders were given Captain Ford
to remain iu the chute until daylight.' He did
so, the tug not changing position until 7, a. m.,
yesterday morning. She then returned to the
city, bringing the first and only intelligence of
whaUiad occurred.
Ford informs us that soon after the
Hesper was boarded several shots were fired,
but whether by the crew or the raiders he did
not ascertain. Some one ordered the filing to
cease, and nothing more was heard. No one
aboard tbe Hesper was injured or in any way
mistreated. Several bottles and flasks of tbe
“ fluid ” were seen circulating among the raid
ers, but no oue was uuder its influence. They
could not have been more quiet and orderly if
eh route to a funeral. Where they went after
being rowed over to President’s Island we
have not been able to discover. Doubtless they
dug a hole in the ground, crawled in, and drew
the hole after them and slid down lo China, to
assist old Foo Chung in the tea business.
French Newspapers.— M. De St. Croix, in
his essays on Paris, relates that an eminent
physician, named Theophrastus Romandat, who
had a passion for collecting news, was in the
habit of amusing bis patients by daily inform
ing them, during his visits, of the current
events of the times. This gained for him great
populaiity and a large practice. Thinking that
he could turn the matter to more profitable ac
count, he conceived the idea of coilectiug these
items into daily printed sheets, which, being
eagerly bought up, he obtained from the King
an exclusive patent for their exclusive publica
tion in 1632, and thus won the honor of being
the first newspaper editor and publisher in
France.
