New York closely resembling Vamp runs others which have occurred lately and in which the perpetrators by the utmost daring have escaped Scot free probably never to be heard of. It appears that c. W. Woolsey went to the Safe Deposit company a office on Broadway and took out a tin Box belonging to himself containing of sixty thousand dollars in five Twenty Bonds thirty thousand dollars in Railroad Stock and twelve to thirteen thousand dollars in currency to took it in his hand and walked with it Down Cedar Street to no. 77, where he entered Edw Ard coffins real estate office and placing his Box on a desk with his hat he turned round to speak with a clerk when he heard a turned round again and saw a Young Man with the tin Box in his hand making for the door.

Woolsey who five minutes before was a Rich Man was ruined. Henry Judd an old citizen of Massillon Ohio Ami a confirmed drunkard met his death night before last in a somewhat singular Way. While confined in the lock up for disorderly conduct to broke a bar out of the Iron grat ing and attempted to escape. After being half a but he could go no further and died in a suspended position before he could be rescued. . A a a. Q. T.,�?� a correspondent of the new work Timm has been guilty of an and discreditable audacity. He gives Ati account in a letter to the times of an interview with or. Alexander Long of this City who has recently been distinguished by the Zeal with which he has urged that or. Chase should be the democratic candidate for the presidency. A a a. Q. did Call upon or. Long and had what that gentleman supposed to be a private conversation. He Lead a letter of introduction to or. Long from a Well known Republican politician and seemed to be interested to hear for his own edification some of the curious facts As to the a a Chase movement a in which or. Long. Had been prominent and about w Liick he was very Well informed and to said expressly that he had not a thought of publishing anything about the conversation. The next thing that or. Long heard was through the new York times and there to his amazement he Sawr that which purported to be a letter from or. Chase to himself when there never wta8 such a letter and he had never said any thing that could be construed to mean that there w As any thing of the sort. The most that or. Long could have said to the correspondent was that in his opinion or. Chase would consent to run As an Independent candidate for Tho presidency in Case Seymour and Blair and the Newyork platform too were withdraw n. Concerning that which or. Long is alleged to have said about general Blair he did not say that either. He had not heard from Blair or communicated with him. The democracy Are not treating Frank Blair kindly or decently. The general disposition among them just now is to charge that he is the Man w to has weighed Down the ticket and brought it to ruin and the party to grief and they Are remembering against him and Ersing him for All the rash and extravagant things that he said of them when he w As a Republican. He was always a desperado and they Are murmuring Over his antecedents even to his spoiling Wade Hampton a wino cellars and drinking his precious old liquors All the Way from Columbia to Alexandria. The nearest approach to a Bummer that was made by a major general in Sherman a army was by Frank Blair and those who sympathized with the rebels then have not forgotten the distinction of general Blair. So they Are treating him badly just As though they had not his history before them when he w As nominated justas if the endorsement by the Confederate generals and the rebel yell were not enough. And we do not believe c there is much love lost Between Blair and those who have been hoping to make a Jonah of him. The Blairs have memories As Well As the copperheads and we shall hear from them some of the richest music of the future. Tiie irishmen of tie Southern states who Are appealing to the irishmen of the Northern states to vote for Seymour and Blair must have become very much demoralized or they have news that has not been made Public in this Quarter. We were not aware that the great mass of irishmen in the Northern states were in such a condition that they required appealing to in order to bring them to vote for the democratic candidates. If there is any doubt about it the intelligence is fresh. Or. Colfax and others who have been Labouring with irishmen to convert them to republicanism As the republicans were the special friends of the oppressed and Tho poor must have been More successful than we had supposed. If the Cincinnati enquirer is to he taken As authority on such a delicate matter the country must be in a bad w a. It declared the other Day that the democracy were by the october elections forbidden to Hope that Seymour could to elected. Now it tells us that if Grant is elected there is an end of Liberty and we ate henceforth to have a military despotism. Ono Comfort is that does not believe in the doctrine of Grants dictatorship but expects to see him turn out a Good Democrat like John Tyler and Andrew Johnson. Thus we Are still permitted to Hope that Grant will not enslave America for of course he could not do that and be a Good Democrat. The formality of electing the electors who will elect general Grant president of the United states w ill take place on tuesday next. There has not been a great Deal of noise since the october election but the people Are not asleep and they will come out on tuesday november 3, in astounding numbers. The republicans however confident they May be have not forgotten that they yet have a vote each to East in order to conclude the Campaign according to the eternal fitness of things. Or. John b. Jeup editor of the Volks Freund writes us that he is an american citizen. We Are glad to hear it and were surprised at the intimation that a gentleman of his intelligence had been so Long taking a prominent part in Public affairs and at the same time neglecting to clothe himself in the dignity of american citizenship. Now that he is a citizen to think it would be Well for him to cultivate a habit of voting. We notice tha t Many democratic news papers Are endeavouring to excite naturalized citizens Tiff hostility toward the republicans because the latter have been discovering naturalization frauds. We take it noise behind 1 that no class of citizens have a deeper in Terest in detecting exposing and denouncing frauds in naturalization than Tho naturalized citizens. Those of our foreign born population who have been at pains to go through the forms required to become enfranchised May to expected to take an interest in preserving those formalities from becoming a mockery and a farce. Our impression is that the naturalized citizens will not be exasperated according to Tho programme of the journals referred to and that they we ill commend Tho vigilance of those who. Would discriminate Between the True and Tho counterfeit naturalization papers. I a democratic estimate exam ipod. We find floating about in democratic newspapers a calculation said to have been prepared by the democratic committee at Washington going to show that the chances of Seymour and Blair Are not so desperate As the Public have come to think since the october election. It is a very curious document both for what it states and for what it omits to state. The following states arc conceded to the republicans Florida. 3 Ohio. 21 Iowa. 8 Rhode Island. 4 Maine. 7 Tennessee. 10 Massachusetts. 12 Vermont. 5 Michigan. 8 Nebraska. 3 total. 81 Tho following Are claimed for the democrats Alabama. 9 Connecticut. 6 Georgia. Kentucky. Mississippi. New Jersey. 7 North Carolina 10 Virginia. 10 9 California. 6 to Delaware. 3 9 Indiana. 13 11 Maryland. 7 7 Nevada. 7 Newyl Ork. 10 Texas. 4 10 137 the committee consider the chances excellent of carrying the following for Seymour and Blair Arkansas. 4 Missouri. 11 Louisiana. 6 South Carolina 8 total 29 this w Ould make a total of one Hundred and sixty six votes say the committee a even should we lose Kansas Minnesota new Hampshire Pennsylvania and Wisconsin All of which will be hotly contested and in none of which can the radicals be deemed secure in the Small majorities by which these states have been carried. To elect Grant the radicals must carry every one of Tho last named states and must secure eight electoral votes from the column w hich we have counted As reasonably Safe for there Are several misstatements of the electoral vote in these figures but As they balance each other and do not affect the total we pass them by. The whole number of electoral votes should All the states be represented in Tho electoral College is three Hundred and seventeen necessary to a Choice one Hundred and fifty nine. A Cordin g to this democratic estimate sey Mour will go into the College with seven votes to spare. This is a very pretty calculation As it stands. But neither Virginia nor Mississippi. Nor Texas will be represented in the College. No attempt will be made in these states to hold an election. Therefore to must deduct their Twenty three votes from the grand total leaving two Hundred and ninety four votes and necessary to a Choice one Hundred and forty eight. But As their votes Are All counted for the democratic candidates we must subtract them from the one Hundred and sixty six calculated upon As certain for Seymour and this would leave him hut one Hundred and forty three or five Short of Tho required number to elect. So by their own showing there is nothing lint defeat ahead for the new York and Confederate favourites what ground the committee have for classifying Indiana among the democratic states we do not know. If the democracy wore not Able to carry it for Hendricks the strongest Man the party could have be looted to make the gubernatorial race against Baker what Hope is there of changing the result so As to give its electoral vote to the democratic nominees neither of whom were the first or second Choice of the democracy of that state and have not increased their popularity with them by any thing said or done since the nominations were made. Bakery a majority was nearly one thousand and to shall be sur prised if the state does not go from eight to ten thousand Republican in november. Deduct Indiana from this calculation and there Are left hut 130 electoral votes for Seymour and Blair. But we shall he under the necessity of still further reducing this number. In 1864 Missouri gave a Lio publican majority of 40,050. It is Truo the vote was a partial one Many thousands of democrats having lost their franchise by the part they took if the rebellion but in 1866 the privilege was restored to As Many of them As will be entitled to vote next week. The Law disqualifying remains the same As then Yot the vote of the state by congressional districts showed that year a Republican majority of 20,430. The 11 electoral votes of Missouri taken from this falling , leaves but 119 we hich can be fairly claimed for the democratic nominees. The talk about any Chance of carrying either Kansas Minnesota new Hampshire Pennsylvania or Wisconsin for Seymour and Blair is sheer stuff. There is As much Prospect of a democratic Victory in Maine or Massachusetts. To show How utterly hopeless Are Tho chances of the election of Tho democratic nominees we sub join an estimate of Tho liberality of which no Democrat certainly will complain. The following states will certainly give their electoral Votos to Grant and Colfax Blair. Here Are the remaining states and their respective electoral votes California. 5 Georgia. Connecticut. 6 Kentucky. Delaware. 3 Louisiana. 7 Nevada. 3 Maryland. 7 new Jersey. 7 Mississippi. 7 new y Ork. 33 North Carolina 9 Oregon. 3 South Carolina 6 Alabama. 8 Tennessee. 10 Arkansas. 5 Texas. 6 Florida. 3 Virginia. T total. 1 158 Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Kansas. Mai no. Massachusetts. Michigan. Minnesota. Nebraska. 10 18 8 3 7 12 8 4 3 new Hampshire 5 Ohio. 2i Pennsylvania. 20 it Hodo Island 4 Vermont. 5 Wiso Quhid. 8 Missouri. 11 West Virginia i total. 159 there states alone would elect Grant and Colfax were All the other states including Virginia Mississippi and Texas to East their electoral votes for Seymour and loss Tho states unrest red namely Texas Virginia and Mississippi 135, or thirteen less than the number required to elect or 148. In either Case then whether the three states named Are represented or unrepresented in the electoral College Tho defeat of Seymour and Blair is made conclusive allowing them All of the electoral votes of the states above mentioned. But 110 one supposes that Tennessee or Florida will go democratic and there Aro very Good grounds for the belief that neither Connecticut California nor Nevada will give their electoral votes for Seymour and Blair so that even were Tho democrats Able to overcome the Small Republican majority in Indiana of which there is no Chance in our opinion their nominees would still be in the Vocative. Calculate As we w ill and keeping to the probabilities there Are fewer chances for Tho election of the tammany nominees than for Nasbye a retaining his Post office at the Confederate Cross roads under a Republican administration. But it is important that Grant and Colfax should be elected by decisive majorities. It is Only by demonstrating to the democracy the utter hopelessness of attempting to carry Tho burdens of the lost cause and win that hey will he persuaded to put themselve8upou new grounds accept the logical As Well As actual consequences of the War and proceed to reorganize the party upon the basis of an inseparable Union of the states the Complete supremacy of the Federal government and the Equality of All men before the Laws. Thoroughly purged of its old pro slavery prejudices and Ultra state lights ideas Aid pledged to a Liberal and just policy As regards All citizens of the United states irrespective of color it will have the elements of a Strong and powerful party and May reasonably Hope to contest Tho ground with its formidable rival with Good prospects of Success. But it will require a decisive defeat next week to persuade democrats that so Radical a change must be made. So men and Brethren once More to the polls Froin the Catholic Telegraph a the enquirer of Friday says. A a a. Loth hop Mot let the american historian of the dutch Republic has been making a violent and foolish Radical Harangue at Boston. If his history Aras no better than Liia speech it would have to be sold for waste Patter. A literary Radical is the biggest political fool we Nave in the a a few months since this same enquirer in reviewing this same Motley a history of the Netherlands could scarce find words in which to express its admiration. That mis called history is a tissue of malicious lies As the enquirer ought to have Well known. But because those lies were slanders on the Catholic Church the end Viper had no word of condemnation but Many words of warm commendation. A if Motley were to speak Onoe every Day for to year in opposition to the democratic party he could not from sheer Lack of material Tell one tenth As Many mean transparent lies As he has told in his history for a Lush the enquirer has such a Strong the Catholic Telegraph does not seem pleased with the news of the times As it appears in any of the daily papers. Considered from the Telegraph s Point of View every thing is going wrong or is told wrong. There was a miserable business in Austria when she broke up Tho concordat and concluded to get along without the dictation of Romo. Then the overthrow of that virtuous and Liberal lady the beloved Queen of Spain was a sore blow. At the fall of the last of Tho Bourbon monarchs the Telegraph set up a prolonged and dreadful w ail. The prompt recognition of the provisional government by the United states was denounced As indecent and the Wrath of the Telegraph w As sputtered at or. Sew Ard and or. Hale. Now that the great european Powers England France and Prussia Havo recognized Spain freed of the Rotten bourbons the telegraphs agony is beyond sex prc8sion. Ti10 cd arse denunciation of the historian Motley As a liar is equally stupid and visions. The trouble with Quot Motley both in his histories of the dutch Republic and the Netherlands and in his late chapter of american history is that he has clearly and boldly told the truth and the Catholic Telegraph and Cincinnati enquirer Are like dogs Barking at the Moon in assailing his reputation. Ono Calls him a liar and the other a fool hut such epithets Only show ill judgment hacked by a had temper and a conscious feebleness that rushes into 1 Ash displays As a disguise. Sky mourns special Mission West would appear to have been to stir up sectional difficulties he two Seq the East and the West. It was very Clever we suppose in an Eastern gentleman to be at such pains to inform us of our ill usage by his own Section and perhaps our gratitude should he summoned to shield him from Tho application of the proverb that a it is a dirty Bird that fouls its own or. Seymour is a singular person in some particulars. Having urged the democrats to nominate Chase for the presidency because As president he might command a majority in Congress he now appeals to the people to elect the democratic candidates because at the worst Tho Republican Congress would keep them out of mischief. And urging that there should not be sectional differences Between the North and South to comes West preaching discord Between Tho West and Tho East. Western people should no doubt feel the obligations they Are under to or. Seymour for pointing out Tho wrongs they Are enduring and we suppose if we should rebel we might count upon his sympathy with us As he sympathized with the South. A card.

The following is the report of the local Board of United states inspectors in the Case of the collision Between the Tow boats Sam. Parker and Charlie Bowen near Dover Kentucky on the 7th of August 1868 a a office of local Board of u. 8. Inspector a Cincinnati o., october 28, 1868. It a to Geo. W. Neff esq., Surveyor of customs a a sir herewith we present the result of our investigation in the Cuse of the collision Between the Tow boats Charlie Bowen and Sam. Parker which occurred on the Ohio River opposite the town of Dover Kentucky about 1 o clock p. M., on Friday August 7, 1868, by which one Barge loaded with Coal and in Tow of the Bowen was suck. A the Bowen was bound from Point pleasant West Virginia to Cincinnati Ohio with a Tow of seven barges loaded with Coal. A the Sam Barker was bound from Cincinnati to Pomeroy Ohio with a Tow of twelve empty barges. A we have examined a number of witnesses in this Case some of whom were residents near Tbs scene and who witnessed the collision Aud their evidence establishes these facts a the Bowen was descending the River keeping the course usually taken by boats of her class at that place being about one third Way out from the Ohio Shore while the Parker was ascending and keeping about a similar course. The signals for passing were exchanged at a proper distance by the Parker first wowing one whistle for the right which was promptly answered by the Bowen. A Walter answering the signal the Bowen s engines were stopped and backed. They continued backing when the collision occurred and also afterwards. Her machinery was in Good condition and backed Strong. She had been backing for Over one minute and a half prior to the collision. She Hod frequently handled larger tows with perfect safety. Her rudders Aud tillers were in Good condition the Middle one being balance rudder having a Blade Over fourteen feet in Lengli. She was at the time of the collision holding straight Down the River. Quot the Pilot on duty on Hoard the Sana. Parker after having signalled the Bowen for sides and being answered evidently neglected to steer or hold his boat toward the right or Kentucky Side in duo time to avoid collision with the Bowen and by getting too close to Tho Forward portion of the Bowens Tow and then attempting to hold nearly Square across together with the fact of not stopping the engines of the Parker until just before the collision caused the out Side Barge in the Sec a tier port tide of the Sam. Parker to run Over the Corner of the Forward Barge in Tow of the Bowen on her port Side forcing it under the water Aud causing it to Siuk. Quot at the time of the collision the Bowen was beaded straight Down the River but the Force of the collision changed her course causing her to head toward the Shore. The Barge of the Parker ran on that or me Bowen where it rested fora Short time until that of the Bowen sink. The Parker dragged the no Wen s Barge considerably nearer the Shore from the locality of the collision. There was some wind blowing off Tho Kentucky Shore at the time which May possibly have affected the handling of the Parker a lightly but being Daylight and in a Good piece of River it was the duty of her Pilot to have made calculations accordingly. A the Pilot of the Bowen evidently Aid not change his course but evinced prudence and cd re in stopping and backing his boat seasonably. A it is the opinion of this Board that said collision was occasioned through the of Benton Chappell Pilot on duty on Board the Sam. Parker and in accordance with the author at in a vested do hereby suspend his License to As Pilot of steamers Tot a pm Rioa of ninety Day from this Date. A a a. H.
