The Louisville Journal and
Courier. -These two able journals havo
consolidated and merged into the Courier-
Journal, tho first number of which reach

American Press, retains his connection
with the dual representative Press of tho
“Dark and Bloody Ground,” for wc con
sider that the Journal and Courier truly
represented the views ol the gallant peo
ple of Kentucky in the past as they will,
combined, continue to do in the future.
The Courier Journal is one of tho nblost
and most readable papers in tho United
States.
We congratulate our war refugee friend,
Haldcman, on his eminent success, in

that original genius, George D. Pieutice —
a trio which cannot be excelled in the
United States.

oue-fifth of the time consumed by the
old-fashioned dasher. It is easily worked,
and saves rime and labor. These Dashers
are sold at the low price of $1 each. Our
country friends will find it to their interest
to examine this improvement. Messrs.
Jones, Srnythe & Cos. are prepared to fill
all orders sent them.

Charleston and Liverpool Steam
ship Line. —A large number of Charleston
merchants attended a banquet on the
steamship Golden Horn in Charleston har
bor, on the 11th. Mr. Robert Mure,of the
firm of Mure & Cos., the projector of the line,
made a short speech acknowledging the
great assistance he had received troin the
President and Directors of the South Caro
lina Railroad in establishing this important
enterprise.
The dinner is represented as having been
potter, up in magnificent 3tyle, and all
passed off in the happiest manher.
The Golden Horn is the pioneer of the
fleet of flrst class steamers which will ply
between Charleston and Liverpool. We
hail the establishment of this line as a cer
tain indication of a return tc the “City by
the Sea” of all the prosperity which she
formerly enjoyed. That it will also bene
fit our own city is too obvious to he deuied.
Our business men aud planters will now
have the advantage of two ports—Charles
ton and Savannah—each of them at aeon
venient distance ; and each of them en
joying that great commercial hloseiug of
direct intercourse with the great markets
of Europe.
The Testimony in the RukfinCase.—
Through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Bray
ton, Clerk of the Superior Court, wc wcie
allowed to take a copy of the evidence
given in before the Coroner’s inquest
which was held upon the body of A. G.
Ruffin, killed on the day of the election:
I,R. \VM. n. TUTT : B TESTIMONY.
A ball entered the hack of the deceased
about two inches Inflow the right scapular,
ranging inwardly, touching the right lung,
and making no exit, the bail still remain
ing in the body. The wound was suffi
cient to produce death. It was a gun-shot
wound inflicted by parties unknown to
me. Wx. H. Tutt, M. D.
dr. swinney’s testimony.
I was present yesterday afternoon on
Greene street. There was a large crowd
at the place where Monument street inter
sects Greeue. Mr. Ruffin came up to the
crowd with an United Stat-s soldier and
said “ Arrant that man,” pointing to a
young man in the crowd. The young man
asked “ Why do y u want to arrest me?
I have not done anything to be arrested
for.” He was not arrested. The young
man was named Tanner, from that the
crowd commenced gathering around, I
with the balance of them, until a consid
erable crowd bad collected, when there
were some words spoken t* at witness did
not understand. Finally the soldier asked
deceased “ Why do you wish me to arrest
him?” Deceased replied “Ho is inter
fering with me in the discharge of my
official duty.” The soldier then remarked
‘You will’have to apply to iny officer*
or ‘ superior officer,’ I am not certain
which, and turned and walked away. As
the soldier turned the witness did the
same thing. When I had turned about
half round, facing the deceased, I heard
what I thought was the discharging of a
pistol, or the snapping of a cap. Wit
ness turned his head without turn
ing his body. I saw deceased place
bis band to bis body and say ‘I am
shot.’ The deceased then staggered or
stepped buck, some gentlemen catching
him and laying him down. I started up
to him, meaning deceased ; saw- Dr.
bearing stooping over him, and heard
Dr. Dealing remaik : “He is not hit; but
has fainted.” The witness then turnel
and walked off. Someone in the crowd
(do not know- who, remarked ; “He has
not come too yet ; they are carrying him
In the Court House ysrd.” * Witness'
sou asked himself ifhe had examined Mr.
Baffin. Witness replied I have not. His
son then said he understood that Dr. Dear
ing and Dr. Ford had raid lie was not
wounded ; but had only tainted. About
five minutes after this witness was stand
ing at the Court House gate, when Mr.
King came forward and stated that Ruffin
was dead. Some time afterward I was
failed upon by Mr. Dean to assist in
making an examination of Ruffin and a
colored man, who were lying in the'City
Hall dead. Upon examination I found
the point of entrance just below the right
shoulder blade. The wound I consider a
gun-shot wound inflicted by a small
cartridge pistol, in my judgment; enter
ing the cavity the ball ranging upward,
passing through the right lung and ihe
upper portion of the heart, then turning a
tittle upward and lodging in the spine.
The ball would have passed under the
collar bone, coming out above the shoul
der blade, had it not been obstructed.
The wound, in my opinion, was
sufficient to produce instant death.
I am a practicing physician and sur
geon. The shooting of Ruffin occurred,
In the best of my knowledge, at between 3
and 4 o’clock in the evening, in the city of
Augusta, Richmond county, and State of
Georgia. I know that Ruffin was Sheriff
of Richmond county. 1 saw- the deceased
approach a negro and ask if lie had a pis
tol ? He replied, “No!”' tie then went to
another negro and asked him if he had one.
This negro rep ied “Yes?” He then told
the negro to give him the pistol. Just at
that time I passed him and do not know
whether tie got the pistol or not. I heard
the deceased tell the negroes to ratty around
him, and he would drive the damned scoun
drels {or damned sons of b , I do not re
member which) away This remark w-as
made opposite Dr. Coleman’s some live
minutes before the shooting commenced.
At the time tho remark was made opposite
Dr. Coleman’s house I considered that
Mr. Ruffin was disturbing the peace in
place of preserving it, as the duties of his
office as Sheriff required him to do.
M. K Swinney, M. D.
w. vv. king’s testimony.
I was standing in abouttbrea feet of de
ceased when ho pointed out Mr. Tanner
to the United Slates soldier. Tanner re
marked that he had done uothiug to be
arrested for. The soldier replied to the
deceased that he could not make the ar
rest, that he must go to his Major. De
ceased then spoke to witness, saying,“Bill,
I look to you to stand by me.” I told
him that Mr. Tanner or no other man
should interfere with him in the discharge
of his duty. About this time the crowd
commenced hissing and hallowing. 1 then
heard the report of a pistol. Deceased
clapped his right hand up to his side and
said, “I am hit.” I made about two steps,
caught him in my arms ami opened his
shirt to examine him. 1 remarked, “I do
not think you are hurt, Alph.” He was
then failing. Dr. Doaring iheu stepped up,
opened his shirt and said that he did not
see any wound. Dr. Ford then came for
ward and requested mo to carry him out
of tho crowd. We carried him to the
Police Station and placed him on a bed. I
assisted Dr. Ford in stripping him. Dr.
Ford started to probe the wound, but re
marked that it was useless, as the man was
dead. The shot appeared to have
come from tho rear. Mr. Tanner was
standing directly in front of the de
ceased. Ido not know who lirod the shot,
the crowd being very thick. It was
composed of whites entirety. I, witness,
was acting as Deputy SfierifT. Witness
considered the conduct of deceased, as
Sheriff, of Richmond county, as ealeu at
ed to create a disturbance, and not to pre
serve the peace. Laboring under excite
ment, lie w-as, in my opinion, incompe
tent to discharge the duties of his office.
I saw Mr Ruffin approach Dr. Oakman
and ask him ifhe had a pistol ? He (I)r.
Oakman) replied “yes.” He asked him if
lie had shot it? He replied “no.” He
then asked him if lie had drawn it. He
replied that he had drawn it in self-defence.
He then asued him to let him see it.
Wbereupou Dr. Oakman showed it to
him. Deceased snatched it away from
him and had him arrested. I cousiderthe
act, in so doing, as calculated to disturb
the peace instead of preserving it. Dr.
Oakman is a private citizen. Tho shoot
ing of Ruffin occurred in front of the City
Ilall, on Tuesday evening, November 3,
about 4 o’clock. VV, W. King.
TESTIMONY OF O. A. BLOUNT.
I consider tho conduct of tho deceased
day of his death, previous thereto, as
tending to give rise to dissension, and not
tending to preserve order. Ido not know
who tired theshot producing the death of
Mr. Htiilln, I corroborate ihe testimony
of VY. W. King. G. A. Blount.
DR. M. F.. SWINNKY RECALLED.
1 stale that 1 do not know who fired the
shot producing the deatli of Mr. Ruffin,
All the within evidence sworn to before
me this November 4th, 1808.
VV. P. Rhodes, Coroner.
This, then, is the true statement of the
ease sworn to before the Coroner of the
county. llow does it correspond with
the language of Bullock’s proclamation
j offering $5,000 reward} for the arrest of
the guilty party? In that proclamation
j he says it “has been officially' communi
j cated to this office that Albert G. Iluffin,
j Sheriff of the county of Richmond, in
I this State, while engaged in the perform
j ance of his duty, maintaining the peace at
| the polls in Augusta, at about 3 o’clock
j &c., was assassinated. ******
I * * Now, therefore, to the end that
| justice may be done, and that officers in
i the faithful performance of their duty,
; may not be murdered with impunity, I,
Rufus B. Bullock, Governor of the State,
&0., &c., issue this my proclamation offer
ing a reward of $5,000 for the arrest aud
■ conviction of the person or persons who
have thus caused the death of the said
Albert G. Iluffin."
It will be seen from this that his procla
mation is issued upon official information
furnished him that Ruffin was killed while
! maintaining the peace at the polls. What
; official information could he have received,
1 save from the evidence elicited in the in
! vestigation before tho Coroner of the coun-
ty ? Who besides this officer could furnish
him any official information on tho subject?
Yet how could this officer send him any
such statement when the witnesses exam
ined on the subject swear that Ruffin, in
stead of preserving the peace, was breaking
it himself and inciting others to do the
same thing. The reason Governor Bullock
gives for offeringthis reward is “that offi
cers in the faithful performance of their du
ties, may not with impunity be murdered,”
yet at the time this proclamation was is
sued Bullock knew that Ruffin was not
| engaged in the faithful performance of his
j duties,but was trying to ineite a riot. Gov.
Bullock’s proclamation bears the stamp
of falsehood on its face, and he knew that
it was a falsehood when he penned it. We
do not publish this evidence in any unkind
feeliug toward the deceased Sheriff, but in
order to show to the people of Georgia the j
spirit of base partisanship which directs
every act of this miserable tool of sharper
knaves, who has, by the aid of stuffed bal
lot-boxes, been foisted upon us as
our Governor. Is it not deplorable that a
man occupying his high official station
should not be able to rise above the level
of a political partisan of the lowest and
most maiiguant stamp . On the same day
there are killed, or mortally wounded, in
different parts of the State, five or six
men, three of whom—the two policemen
and young Law, of Savannah—were shot
down while in the“faith:ul performance of
their duly as peace officers;" yet no notice is
taken ofthe death of those men, Bur reward
offered lor the apprehension of their mur
derers save in one instance, where the
victim, though proven to have been in
citing violence at the time, or just before
the ante, of his death, was a member- qf
the Governor’s own political party. Gal
i lant gentlemen and efficient officers may
be murdered by Radical mobs with im
punity. if the victims happen to be Dem
ocrats, but let a riotous Radical be killed by
some tnan whom he had probabij’ outraged
and insulted, and out comes our Governor
with $5,000 reward for the conviction of
his murderer.
The Georgia Railroad Advan■
taghs of Quick Dispatch iii Freight.
—We Lave noticed, several times lately,
the quick dispatch with which freights are
shipped North on the Geor s ia Railroad.
This dispatch is beginning to be felt and
appreciated in points far distant from Au
gusta. The Selina Sentinel, in noticing
the arrival in that city of our old friend
Tim. Lyons, alludes, in favorable terms, to
the advantages of this route to the people
of the Southwest. Freights are looked up
in the cars at Selma, and pass through
without change to Charleston, where they
are shipped, on first class steamers, to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Bos
ton, and Liverpool, reaching New York in
about ‘six days] from tbe time of ship
ment at Selma. By this route, a distance
of 320 miles issaved. Now, in these times
of fast work and quick dispatch, this saving
of time and dis tance is of the greatest im
portance to planters, shippers and business
men generally; and all of these classes are
beginning to appreciate it and to avail
themselves of it. It applies to Rome and
Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery, Selma, and
Mobile, Ala , Meridian and Vicksburg,
Miss., and to all intermediate points, as
well as to points even more distant.
A letter from Montgomery states that
shippers there are sending their cotton
through by this route in quantities, and
are willing to pay higher rates of freight
than those charged by competing lines
rather than lose the time in transit. We
are assured, however, that the rates on
this route are as reasonable as on any
other, which, with this quick delivery of
goods, renders it so desirable.
A sufficient number of cars arc placed
on the line, and close connection made
with the steamers at Charleston, so that
there is no delay in the transmission of
freights. These are facts to which the
attention of the business public generally
should be called ; and with that view we
give them, therefore, this prominence.
Mr. Johnson, the Assistant Superin
tendent of the Georgia Road, is a thor
ough, going, go ahead business man; and,
under his supervision and direction, its
business must largely increase. With
such men as Johnson, Lyons, and the
other gentlemen who have the charge of
this Road, it is bound to be a popular and
a paying institution.
Convention of the Agricultural
and Manufacture Association of
Georgia. —The Cotton Planters’ Conven
tion, which met in Macon on the Gth of
September, 1860, and again in Miiledge
ville iu November, 1866, changed Ihe name
of the Association to “The Agricultural
and Manufacturing Associationof the State
of Georgia,” with a view to enlarging its
scope of operations, and inviting the co
operation of every industrial interest of the
State. This association was to have met
at Milledgeville simultaneously with the
Legislature in November, 1868, but politi
cal changes and consequent excitement,
caused its postponement to a time more
opportune for useful deliberation. Mr.
Benjamin Yancey, the President of the
Association, deeming that that time has
arrived, calls a convention of the Associa
tion, to meet in Macon, Ga., on tho 10th
day of December next, at 10 o’clock A. M.
Planters, Farmers, Manufacturers, Me
chanics, and every industrial interest in
the State are earnestly invited to send
delegates to that convention, who will take
an interest in its proceedings, and delibe
rate for the best interests of the State.
The Committee appointed for the pur
pose, at Macon, it is expected, will pro
vide a suitable hall for the use of the con
vention, and the Press of the State is
requested to invite public attention to the
proposed meeting of the Association.
A Georgia Potato.—We fee a par
agraph in the papers from the Superin
tendent of the United States Bureau of
Agriculture, that he had received a sweet
potato, from Bowling Green, weighing
four and one-half pounds ! Georgia can
beat that and not half try.
We yesterday received a potato from
Leroy Fleetwood, the excellent and re
spected Sheriff of Wilkinson county,
weighing nine and one-half pounds. We
will sayrnothing of a prong of it, weigh
ing three pounds more, which was broken
off in digging and did not reach this of
fice. — Macon [Ga.) Telegraph.
Sakes alive ! what a whopper ! We
mean the potato, of course.
A Cow Tale. —An exchange has the
following, which is some in its way:
Some Cow ! —The Editor of the Colum
bus Enquirer heard of a farmer, the other
day, who was complaining to a person
about his neighbor’s cow destroying his
foddei. He said she got into his field the
night before, and eat up fifteen dollars’
worth of fodder. She was only in the
field one night, and putting fodder at one
dollar per hundred pounds, the cow eat up
fifteen hundred pounds in one night! If
she gives milk in proportion to what she
eats, she is certainly a valuable cow !

The Indian Summer. —The Petersburg
(Ya.) Index thus gives the origin of the
term Indian Summer.
The Indian Summer. —For some days
past we have been enjoying the beautiful
and balmy weather of the Indian Summer.
It has been brief but glorious this season,
as warm and lovely as the charming days
of early May. Theoriginof thenameof “In
dian Summer” is not satisfactorily known.
Says a contemporary: The first United
States history that met our childhood said
that the Indians, in their improvidence,
were in the habit of procrastinating the j
work of gathering their scanty food for \
winter till the cold snap of early November
brought them to their thoughts, and that
in the warm weeks succeeding they aid
their hunting and gathering, and hence
“Indian Summer.” The New England
tradition is, that the Indiaus believed this
season to be caused by the southwest
wind which prevails at this period, aud
which their good divinity, who resided in
that quarter, sent them as a special blessing.
It has been sometimes said that the term
Indian was given to this period because,
game being plenty at the time, and the
hazy condition of the atmosphere favoring
their near approach to animals unsuspect
ed, made it a special Indian hunting sea
( son ; and it is believed that all who have
’ had experience among the Northern In
dians concur iu the general correctness of
these statements. They do hut little
hunting till September and October, and
when November comes they gather up
their corn, rice and meat, and start on
their winter hunt into the forests. Ask
these Indians at any time of the year when
: thev are going to their hunting grounds,
j and they will say, “When the Great Spirit
i sends us our fall summer,’ which they
universally believe is sent after the cold
fall rains for their particular benefit.
General Grant’s Views of the Re
publican Platform.—' The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
writes as follows to that paper:
A statement mads last evening by a
gentleman in whom may be placed implicit
reliance, and who enjoys excellent oppor
tunities to enable him to speak intelligent
ly on the subject, may give some indication
of General Grant’s position in relation to
the Republican party. He states that after
the General vas nominated he sat for quite
a long time carefully reading and ponder
ing upon the platform adopted by the Con
vention ; that he finally expressed to his
confidential friends that he did pot libe it,
and was in great doubt vbethcr he would
accept the nomination on that platform.
This coming to the ears of certain leaders
i of the party they hastened to call upon the
1 General, who stated to them his objections
to the platform. This intelligence was re
! ceived with no little consternation by his
| visitors, who feared that Grant entertained
the intention of decliniufi fo* Tarnation.
They at once Opened upon him with every
conceivable argument they could bring
forward to induce him to accept, one of
which arguments was that the" platform
neeu not te regarded by him in so serious
a light it was simply an enunciation of
the general principles of the party, neces
sary only to make up the issues of the
campaign. They urged him to accept at
all events, and to say nothing more about
the platform. Many other arguments of a
similar character were used, it is said,
which gave Grant to understand that they
wanted him to accept the nomination, it
even it had to be on a platform of his own
adoption.

General Prim on the Expulsion of
the Jews. —General Prim Fas sent the
following reply to M. Guedalla, President
of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish
Society of London, who had applied on
' behalf of his co-religionists, for the revoca
tion of tbe edict of expulsion issued in
1492:
I have received the congratulation which
you have addressed to me ; 1 thank you
sincerely for the elevated sentiments
which you express ; I am convinced that
the triumph of the revolution must estab
lish, without any restriction, all religious
liberties; but what you so justly demand is
not within my individual province to ac
cord. Be pleased, therefore, to send
directly to the provisional Government,
or to its President, an application similar
to that which I have under my eyes, and
let it be written in Spanish in order that it
may be immediately examined wiih all the
attention that so important a question de
mauds.
An Outrage —Edmund Mclntosh, a
colored Democrat, has lost three cows and
his plow horse. He was warned before
the election “that it would be worse for
him.” Two of hb cows have disappeared.
The third—sac and in full health —was kill
ed, the hide taken off and left on the spot.
His horse was poisoned. If this is a sam
ple ol thelibirtyof free suffrage, where
will it end ?
New Grocery* Store. —Everybody has
to eat, and, therefore, Grocery stores must
be patronized. Mr. Geo. 0. Robinson, it
will be seen by reference to our advertising
columns, has just opened a family grocery
store, at Mr. (Jhas. Baker’s old stand, No.
267 Broad street, where will be kept every
thing usually found in a first class grocery
store , and he is going to sell his goods at
very reasonable prices for cash. We bespeak
for him a liberal share of public patronage.
Tax Collector for Richmond Coun
ty.—Mr. Samuel Levy, the Ordinary of
this county, has given the appointment
of Tax Collector for Richmond county to
Mr. John A. Bohler. We need hardly
say that this appointment gives entire
satisfaction to the people. Mr. Bohler is
well known as a sterling citizen. His
fitness for the office no one will deny. He
is well qualified both by experience and
capacity. His appointment will give en
tire satisfaction.
Grand Meteoric Display'.— There was
a magnificent meteoric display on Friday
night and Saturday morning, it com
menced at about 11 o’clock ou Friday
night and continued until about 4 o’clock
l Saturday morning. Tbe weather was
very cold at the time ; but the night was
j clear and beautiful, very favorable for
viewing this beautiful phenomenon of’Na
j ture. At times the meteors were quite
■ numerous, increasing in number toward
morning. It was a splendid sight to those
who had the good fortune to witness it;
but there were comparatively few who had
that good fortune, owing to the lateness of
the hour at which it commenced, and the
chilliness of the weather which kept most

Production of Cotton. —A friend of
Mr. Bancroft informs us that he, on the
Bth of September, had gathered five thou
sand lbs. from one acre, which he devoted
to experiment, and that every one who had
seen this acre were unanimous in the
opinion that there could not be less than
one thousand pounds to gather, whatever
the vicissitudes of the season might be.
The same authority informs us that Mr.
Bancroft has at the same estate gathered
one bale to the acre for every acre planted
cn his farm of some thirty acres.
The same authority asserts that the
system of applying tho manure to the
given spot sustaining the plant is praticed
by the Brazilians, and the settled plan in
use by the Chinese, practiced forcenturies.
The Chinese say that they cannot afford to
apply manure broadcast.

' n “I,swer I have to say that while the
return called for by section 57 cannot be
required from any person woo had but
fiftv gallons or loss ca distilled spirits in
his' possession Cn the Ist instant, it is
nevertheless important to the interests of
such persons that their packages of such
spirits should be marked and stamped as
prescribed in that section, otherwise the
spirits being without either the tax paid
stamp, or the stamp for stock on hand,
would be in danger of detention under
section 41, aud perhaps of seizure and for
feiture under the provision of section
57, for the forfeiture of all distilled
spirits found after thirty days
in packages of more than five gallons,
without having thereon each mark and
stamp required therefor by this act. Sec
tion 36 would, in such case, throw the bur
den of proof on the claimants and as pro
bable case for seizure couid, doubtless, in
most cases be shown to have existed, tho
expense and trouble to which the owner
ot the spirits would be subjected before
he could receive his property would gen
erally exceed its value. It would be well
to make this view ofthe matter known to

SELECTED TELEGRAMS.
Special Dispatch to the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The President Elect and .the Appointing
Power—Movement to Restore the Privi
leges ofthe Presidency,
Washington, November 10. —Since the
arrival of General Grant in this city, the
question of repealing in his favor the laws
of Cougress limiting the authority of the
President has been freely di-cussed.
It is announced that these laws were
enacted for a special purpose, in order to
restrain Mr. Johnson from interfering
with the Reconstruction policv’ ofCongress,
and that there is no occasion for their con
tinuance under a Prosid nt who is in har
mony with the majority in Congress.
A number of leading Republicans are
opposed to a repeal of these laws, and ad
vocate the assertion of a permanent con
trolling influence by Congress over the
Executive.
As it is known, however, that the Demo
crats intend to introduce a bill for the res
toration of the full privileges of the Pres
idency to General Grant, it is thought that
the Republicans will anticipate them, aud
that an act will be passed at the com
mencement of the December session, to
take effect from the 4th of March next,
which will give the new President the
full privileges of his office.
Tlie oflU-e-boiders will, of course, be in
favor of the existing condition of affairs.
But as the“outs”arein adecided majority,
and as most Congressmen wouhi desire to
conciliate the rising power, in view of the
immense number of offices to fie filled,
there is little doubt that Uia fiot will go
through Congress with a large vote
Illness of the Pope—Convocation
of Cardinals. —Tho Pope has lately
summoned to Rome Dr. Malgadi, of Pano,
a physician in whom he has great confi
dence, and who has careftiliy examined his
leg. The frequent suppuration is regard
ed by the Hector as a bad sympton, and
he is understood to have spoken despoud
ingly of the Pope’s condition. The Holy
Father, however, is very active, and
appears to be in good health.
The liome correspondent of the Pall
Mall Gazette says: ‘Tam without positive
confirmation of the statement as to the
proposal made by Count Armand to the
Pope to cede to Italy the of
Frosinone and Yelietri. ’byt aa 1 extraordi
nary convocation of the cardinals was held
at the V atican a sow days ago, and there is
no doubt that the Pope laid before them a
copy of a note addressed by General Me
nabrea to the Italian .Ambassador at
Paris.”
Departure of Gen. Hosecrans.—
Gen Roseerins, United States Minister to
Mexico, departed yesterday for the scene
of his mission m the steamship Granada ,
for Vera Cruz, touching at Havana and
Sisal on the route. Gen. Rosecrans was
accompanied by his lady, three daughters
and a son, together with his mother-in
law, 3£r§. H'agaihan. No attaches were
with Kim. Gen. Longstreet, of the late
Confederate Army, Gen. Sturm, and Ben.
Wood, Jr., were also upon the vessel and
bound to the same destination.
The Mexican Consul, Mr. Juan Navarro,
and a came ofi board
to witness the General s departure, and
these, added fa'a number of idlers, created
a considerable crowd upon the dock as
the steamer left. A lively cheering took
place. The usual salutes upon similar oc
casions were also fired from the United
States war steamers off the port. The

“Let us be Friends.”
i Under this caption the Chicago Times,
a leading Democratic journal in the North
| west, says :
In Hartford, Connecticut, the sup
porters of Mr. Grant celebrated their vic
tory by a torchlight procesdou. The
Democratic club of Hartford joined the
procession, bearing a banner widi the in
scription, “Let us befriends.”
This is a sentiment that animates, and
has always animated the Democracy in all
parts of the country : “Though wc differ
in our views of policy, let ns be friends in
supporting the principles that constitute
the foundation of our political liberties.”
When the civil war was over, the De
mocracy said to the extremists of all sec
tions, “Let us be friends.”
What did the extremists in the North
say in reply? They said, “No Let us
continue to be enemies. As for us, wo
will not shake hands with men who have
sough us. We will continue to nurse our
hatreds ”
There is a passage somewhere in a good
book that some men profess great re.-pect
for, which tells us that brethren ought to
dwell together in unity. The Democracy
subscribe to that doctrine heartily; but the
Radical extremists repudiate it. The sen
timent, they say is all wrong. Brethren
ought to dwell together like cats and dogs,
unless the weaker brethren will submit to
any wrong that the stronger may chose to
put upon them, and to which the stronger,
on their part, refuse to submit
The sentiment of the Hartford Demo
cratic club is the sentiment of three mil
lions of Democratic voters. It is ours, as
well as yours. We must ive in it together.
We desire to preserve for ourselves and
our posterity the liberties it secures. We
will presume, until you prove the contrary,
that youv desires are the same. Let us be
friends on this broad national plantform.
Whoever threatens danger or overthrow to
these liberties—be he President or Con
gressman; be he politician or priest—let us
defend them against. We have bad war
enough. We have had disfranchisement
and confiscation enough. Wc have had
slander and detraction and denunciation
and hatred and revenge enough. We have
had misery and death and devastation
enough. We have had enarties between
us enough. Let us have amnesty for all
politic offences. Let us be friends.
Interview with General Grant —A
correspondent of the New York Herald
gives an account of an interview of a
number of representatives of the press
with General Grant on Tuesday, from
which we make the following extract:
It having been mentioned that he en
joyed a reputation for cautiously avoiding
politics, the General replied that it was
true he did not like to talk about politics,
because that which may he regarded as
right and proper in polities to day may he
all wrong six months hence, and he
thought that politics is a subject about
which the least said the better.
In reply to the remark that no Presi
dent ever entered upon his executive
duties with a fairer opportunity to admin
ister the affairs of the country so as to se
cure tranquility and prosperity, the Gen
eral said that it would he his constant care
to seek an early restoration of peace and
harmony throughout the Union. The
successful manner in which the President
elect eluded the elaborate reception prepa
rations in this city having been referred
to, the General remarked that all such
public demonstrations found no favor in
his sight. In travelling through the
country it frequently happened that such
displays were in full operation. In such
cases they cannot well be avoided. “But
this city,” said he, “is my home, and to
have glorifications of that kind here would
he repugnant to my feelings. Nothing of
that kind will be done with my approba
tion. It had been published that he would
hold a public reception at his resi lenee.
This was not true. He had not expressed
any intention of doing so. He would be
happy to receive all who may wish to favor
him with a call, either at his housr or at
his headquarters, but a public reception
this time did not appear to him as just,
the proper thing. If they (meaning the
political organizations which threatened
him with an ovation) wish to hold a jubi
lee—if the result of the election pleases
them —let them parade, fife and drum
away ; only I hope they will not disturb
me, or require me to take any part in the
proceedings.”
The Attendance op Witnesses at
Courts-Martial —The following order
received from the War Department, was
yesterday published from the headquarters
of the Army, for the information and
government of all concerned :
The Attorney General of the United
States having given his ofiieial opinion that
the power conferred upon a judge advo
cate of a court-martial or court of inquiry
by the twenty-fifth section of the act ap
proved March 3d, 1863, to issue the like
process to compel the attendance of wit
nesses before such military court as is
issued by the local courts of criminal juris
diction, includes also the power to execute
such process through some officer who
shall be especially charged with its cxecu
eution :
It is ordered , That judge advocates of’
military courts who may hereafter issue
such process to compel the attendance, as
witnesses, of persons not in the military
servico, f'ortnaily direct the same ly name,
to some military officer, who shall be
designated by the department commander
as available for the purpose; and the
nearest military command will thereupon
furnish a sufficient force for * the
execution of the process whenever such
force shall be actually requird. It
will be noted, however, that whereas a pro
cess of attachment can only be enforced as
herein directed, the preliminary summons
subpoena may be served by any person
whatever.

The Vote op Wisconsin.-—At the
last Congressional election before that of
Tuesday, the Radicals carried Wisconsin
by an aggregate majority of uytv twenty
three thousand- This year i’atue has
lost 3,564, Hopkins has lust a few hun
dred, Sawyer has lost nearly or quite
2,000 ; while Hidridge, the taiepted 'and
faithful member trom the Fourth District,
has now carried his district by probably
4,500, against 2,984 two years ago—a gain
in that district of over 1,500. Thus in
four of the six Congressional districts the
Democracy gain nearly 7,OQD, sjupso. the Iqst
election involving national issues. The
returns front t'qa' &yser two. <U str > cts are
not vqt caisplpts to determine
the rife cd' yain or loss in the balance of
the State ; but those already received are
sufficient to indicate a loss to Radicalism
since 1868, in the entire State, of nearly
or quite 10,000.
The relative loss o£ tit* Radicals, as
measured by the comparative per centage
of the total vote cast in 1866 and 1868,
will show more palpably the waning
strength of the dominant psrt" ye this
State. The aggregate yu-g; of this year
is probably lefgcr by tens of thousands
than the vote of any previous year. In

out the least benefit. About the first of

Great Britain.
Basis of the Settlement of the. Difficulties
with the. United States.
London, Tuesday, November 10. —The
Times to day has an editorial article giving
the basis of the settlement and the present
status of the questions at issue between the
United States and Great Britain. A mix
ed Commission,consisting of two members
from each nation, will be appointed to ad
judge all questions arising since 1853—the
date of the last Commission. England’s
responsibility in the matter of the Ala
bama claims will be referred, to Urus.ia for
arbitration. If the decision is ia tavor of
America, the Commission will then inves
tigate the claims. America has withdrawn
; the question of the recognition of the
Southern States by Great Britain during
the war. The San Juan business will bo
| referred to the President of SwitzerLmJ
| for arbitration.
London, Tuesday, 10 — i
There is the higher; to believe that
the statement aS He Convention made for
ikysmoetnetn of the Alabama claims,
published in the Times this morning, is in
correct, The fourth article td' the Con
vention, to which the Timts particularly
refers, reads, in fa»t, as follows :
“The Ccus»aiißsioiierß shall have power
to ad/idioate upon the class of claims re
ferred to in the official correspondence, be
tween the two Governments as Ala
bama claims ; but befor-y any of’ such
claims are taken laia consideration by
them, the tv»a high contracting parties
shall fix v,paa some sovereign or head of a
frieadty State as an arbitrator in respect of
such elaiins, to whom such class of oßims
shall be referred in case the Commission'
ers shall be unable to come to an unani
mous decision upon the same.”
This opens every question involved in
those a'aims, whether that of the right of
the English Government to acknowledge
the South as belligerents, or any other.
The Times speaks of distinguished pub
licists whose judgments will aid the Ring
of Prussia. These are doubtless Gessnicr
and Heffter, both leading writers on in
ternational law and engaged in the Berlin
Administrations (theformer in the Foreign
Office',, who have since the war advocated
the American views of pending questions.
They concurred in the time in pronouncing
the seizure of Mason and Slidell justifiable,
and denounced the selfishness of British
principles cf neutrality.
SIGNIFICANT SPEECHES BY MR. REVEPvDY
JOHNSON AND MR. DISRAELI.
London, Tuesday, Nov. 10. —The Lord
Mayor of London gave a banquet at Guild
hall last night. Among the guests present
were Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli and
Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the American
Minister. In the course of his reply to a
toast, Mr. Johnson said: “I have been
greatly criticized for the manner in which I
have received and offered civilities while
in this country ; but such strictures on my
conduct have not affected the negotiations
which are in progress. However dissatis
fied people here or at home may be, they
will find that there is no ground for such
a feeling. The questions at issue between
my Government and that of Her Majesty
are now settled without touching the honor
of either nation. If diplomatic negotia
tions in the future are carried on in the
same spirit, war between England and the
United States will be impossible.” Mr.
Disraeli made an able speech. Alluding
to th ” subject introduced by Mr. Johnson,
be sail!: “The removal of our difficulties
witli theUnijed States gives good ground
ior hone that no future misconceptiou may
occur. ’ ’ He reviewed the state of affairs
in Europe, and admitted that the superfi
cial aspect was threatening, but declared
that the Ministry could see no apparent
pre'ext for the outbreak of war.

FORTHCOMING TREATIES OF PEACE WITH
CHILI AND PERU.
Madrid, Tuesday, Nov. 10— The Cor
respondencia says there is reason to ex
pect that the Spanish Government will at
an c-arly day conclude treaties of peace
with Chili and Peru. It attributes the
happy result to the mediation of the
United States, and to the sympathy
aroused in Spain in consequence of the
desolation of Peru and Chili by the recent
earthquakes.
