SECOND DIST. . '. W. H. KITCHIN, Of Halifax. ELECTION, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 6. Democrats of the Third District are you fully awake to the impor tance of the election to be held on Tuesday next? Do you realize the fact that there is danger thai you may have as your representative in the next Congress a Radical of the deepest dye one of your indigo blujr kind? Do you -comprehend fully the significancy of the! next election that upon its results in thirty States which vote on the 5th of November, depends tho safety of American institutions? Do you un- derstand that upon the comp:exion of the next Hou3e of Representatives may really depend two questions of the greatest import: first, whoij 6hall be President of the United States; second, what changes shall be : made in the financial policy of the country. Are you prepared for the issue?j Are you at work.-u Are you faithful watchmen on the walls of the great citadel of civil liberty? Tuesday will 1 he voters of the Third District have an important duty to perform on Tuesday next.

There is tp be a new phase given to the Filz John Porter case. ' Some body else is to be tried, and for slan- dering and falsifying. Gem! John Gib- bon has already preferred charges against Gen. John Pope fqr conduct nnoecoming an omcer una a geo tie- . . r : . . man.' The reader will remember a recent editorial in the Stab concern - ing Gen. McDowell's conduct, He admitted on the Porter, trial recently that he f urnished Pope with at) ex tract from Stonewall Jackson's re port of the Second Battle bf Manas sas, which purported to describe the military operations , of the 29th of August, 1862, but that he jwas subse quently informed that they! concerned "the 30th, and not the day 'given,; and that he never made a public correc tion. Pope is to be tried. for making I this false and slanderous publication. By changiqg the date of Gen. Jack son's report a damaging array of facts 1 ' . 1 . ft' were presented against ix$n. Jforter. Col. T. C. H. Smith has testified on I the Porter investigation that he called Pope's attention to the error, j hbtwithstanding which Pdpe contin- ued thereafter to circulate the pam- phlet without making the; correction, This is the cravimen of Gibbon's charges, which will not .be pressed until after the pending Porter inqui ry is concluded, ine case excites . 1 . : much interest among army officers, especially in view o the natural in ference that if the chaj-geis sustained against Pope it must be agamsf Mc Dowell also, neither of them having attempted to undo the wrong to Por ter by correcting their own error. j Y With such a revelation nnnnrnin McDowell and Pope-two Federal Generals at -one time in Ichief Icom mand and with such a picture of .. .

The Bulgarian insur rection is assuming larger propor- tions. and ssia is directly accused ffbeing sponsible for it. The re- bellion seems to have broken out im mediately under the eyes of Russian troops. Russia denies having con nived at or favored the Bulgarian in surrection, and declares it has no po litical significance. On the other hand, it is believed in Berlin that the movement has more than a mere local significance, and extends beyond and affects questions of a European char- acter. In the meantime the Porte is erecting a new lino of fortifications at Constantinople. As to what Russia proposes is a matter of speculation. Whether Rus- lo!nkna Il.f 3 Ml". - . ' I 18tan and England does not appear. Torkey seems to be playing into the "ttUUO ugiauua auu nas promised to introduce reforms into the admin istration of affairs in Asia Minor. This gives England a practical con trol of Turkey in Asia. The unroll ing ot coming events will show whe ther England will make or lose by this new departure. The Philadel phia Times takes this view: It was a manifestation of real """""'f 5 pan ui xjora iseaconsneld to grasp this magnificent fragment of the manship on the part of Lord Beaconsfleld -i?80111?; and it will be jjujiauu iu uuiu ll even I g" long or short, that must elapse before war again is declared. When the war. comes the balance of loss will ho quickly by tbe balance of profit. But a doubt may be raised as to tbe adequacy of this British coup to serve, as it is intended to serve, as a check upon Russian agres sion in Central Asia. Unfortunately for England, Rassia has worked her way so far isTniL3! I0"!.81!?. .mo'e. India. If she is determined to tlkSm step.

I as it is claimed Earl Beaconsfield's was. At any rate, by the Berlin treaty she got rid of a foe that stood at her door.

This old established and widely known hotel has been thoroughly renovated and refitted during the past summer by the present proprietors, Messrs. Cobb Bros., and now offers accommodations of a superior character. The building now contains seventy rooms, single, double, and en suite, all of which are newly carpeted, newly painted, and furnished in handsome new black walnut chamber sets, the whole pre- senting as nice and comfortable hotel ac commodations as the most fastidious could desire or expect, j Among the attractive features we would mention a handsome bridal chamber, which has been fitted up and furnished in the most elegant style; a pleasant reading more interest to travellers generally.a first- class bar-room, with all of the most attrac tive and tempting paraphernalia. The building is belled throughout, tbe passages and stairways covered with new carpets or oil cloths, and the' walls are all tastefully repainted. With ihe recent improvements and additions tbe hotel can now accommo date about two hundred and fifty guests, and in all tbe comforts and conveniences is not inferior to anj similar establishment in the State. ! We are gratified to note that the present I proprietors, who j succeeded Col. J. R. Davis, are receiving a goodly share of the public patronage, and as good hotels are institutions which everv citv RhnnM ha nuiwu cvcijr ciiy SOOUlU 06 to have in its midst, we can but hope that the enterprising proprietors of the Purcell may continue to meet with the most encouraging success. - .

As before stated, there arc twelve cases against him, ten for embezzle ment, one for ac affray, and one Tor assault and battery, the latter in Pender. The bail required of him in the first instance was J ails, broke gaffs, &c, the vessel spring $200 in each case, or $2,400 in the aggre- lnS aleak; threw deck load of lumber over- gate. The amounts were reduced by Judge' Meare8t6 $100 in each of Ihe embezzle ment cases and. to $50 in tbe affray, the bond in the assault and battery case re maining the same as before, at $200. This makes the aggregate bail now required of Heaion $1,250. which is to be fnrnishprl tn Judge Meares himself. The bail had not been furnished up to a late hour last evening, and Heaton, as a consequence, remained a boarder at the Hotel de Howard. Dlagnated. That was a very appropriate reply made by a prominent colored man of our city, who, when interviewed and requested to use his influence and vote for the Knight of the- Lordly Strut the son who never soiled his hands by toil remarked, "I can't do it; I 'don't know where to find the Judge. Four or five weeks ago he advised me to support tbe regular nominee of the Republican party.

A juvenile employe of Mr. Dan iel L. Russell, tbe Greenback candidate,has presented me with his circular addressed to the voters of tbe Third Congressional Diss triCt, and I have read the same with the I sentiments which inspire every fair-minded citizen who has seen it. At the outset of this address Mr. Russell proposes to "ignore all the issues of the past." If I know the people of tbi3 Dis- trict, that is just exactly what they do not propose to do. They have a very retentive memory as to tbe "issues of the nasi " which he has been so instrumental in mukinir I and sustaining for many years. Among these tissues of the past" (which isan issue Of the. present,) the so-called financial issue ispromincnt.
