SATURDAY. OCTOBER 80, 1809. t
J. S. 0 It J) WELL, Editor. -.
A Sl'liVEl OF THE BATTLE FIELD.
The smoke or (lie bul'le lins now prctly
much cleared awry j 1 1 -1 us iHko a look at I lie
field. Gov. (i:ai!T lots fern re-elected by
about G000 majority, nnd tlio Hon. Hknkt V.
'.i'illiams lias been chosen to t lie Supreme
Bench, by a tiinjorily considerably larger.
1 he friends of liberty and progress all over
the country, rejoice, nnd the intelligent Work
ingmen of Pennsylvania breathe freer. The
enemies of American indtistery, who stylo
themselves "Free Trailers," have rccoived n
serious cheek in their aggressive warfare upon
the Protective Tariff, and the ratification of the
Xfth Amendment has been assured. The sta
ple slander of the emoeratie press, that the
Legislature by ratifying that (amendment, in
the manner prescribed by the constitution of
the United States, without submitting it to a
ilirect vote of the people, transcended their
authority and committed nn outrage upon
the liberties of their constituents, has been
signally rebuked by those constituents tlteni
elves, who have elected auuther legislature
even more largely Republican than tho last.
The charge mver contained the least sem
blance of (.null, but it id gratifying to see ho it
perfectly the people saw through it.
Xlie contest throughout the A ate was waged
tinder peculiar dificulties. There were many
disappointed aspirants for office under Presi.
dent Grant, who took a surly revenge by ro
fustng support to tho party here. Gov. Geary
bad incurred the displeasure of many promt.
ricnt party workers by standing aloof from
their intrigues, and vetoing legislative jobs.
Tha whiskey ring especially, joined hands
against him, because of bis well-known tem
perance principles. Then our oppnnen's were
never so plentifully supplied villi corruption
money, which, in Democratic hands, is one of
tho chiof sinews of political war. As tho re
mit proved; they found but few Republicans
venal enough to sell their principles., but thcro
are always somo weak sis.crs in every organi
zation, and many of thjso were secured. And
there aro other ways, beside the direct pinch,
asc of votes, which Democratic ingeunity has
discovered to influence nn election. That we
have successfully combated and triumphed
over all'thcsc adverso influence, ia something
to bo proud of.
As our ndversaties themselves admit, the
riegislry Law was largely instrumental in
bringing about the result. That is, the
Dcmocralics have always relied upon polling
some thousands of fraudlent votes in Phil
adelphia nnd Lincinc county, and this the
Registry Law prevented. The consequences
have been nn astonishing change in the
vote of both.
Very much is duo also to the sleepless vig'
lance, activity ami energy of Hon. John
Covodc and bis brother members of tho Re
publican State Central Committee, who thwar
ted every attempt of the enemy to detent the
lioncst wishes of the people, and thus secured
u fair election.
AVe are well satisfied with the result in this
county and the anthracite coal regiou notwith
standing that some Republicans both promi
nent nnd obscure, were sell. cod by the flat
ness of Judge Packer's riches, or by iheit
persont.l relations with him, into votiug
against their own principles and party.
Thanks to our own well directed and toiling
blows, and the extended circumstances of the
(i.izLTiB in this and adjoining counties, wo
have not only held our ground here in tho vury
strong hold and home of tho Democratic candi
date, but have turned the enemy's flanks and
driven back his main lino. In the one precinct
Summit Hill, there was a Republican gain of
102. The adjoining township in Schuylkill
county, which formerly gave about 00 Demo
cratic majority, rolled up 111 majority for
Geary. It was much the same in all tho miu
ing districts around hs, whero hitherto the
Democracy have swept everything before them
It was not to be hoped that we could elect any
cf our candidates in this county. The ndverse
majority of nearly seven huudred, is made up
largely in tho Southern and Eastern p arts ot
the county, of class who rivnl the Democracy
of Porks fur stolidly and perpetually voting
ths Democratic titket, utterly regardless of
both principles and men. They inherit tho
party name as regularly as their family names,
und deem it as impossible to change the one as
the other. Thus we have met with no disan-
pointmen, while we have much cause for con
gramiation. Licjmim S'.uiidurd.

DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR KITN'ER.
The official returns or the election of a
Governor of I'ennsjlvnoia have not been
completed until the death of a former chief
magistrate of th Commonwealth isnnnminc
cd. Joseph llitucr died on Saturday after
noon last tit the residence of n son-in-law, in
tho borough of Carlisle, ot tho extreme ago
of ninety, lie was born in tho township cf
Alsnce, in the county of IJorks. of German
parentage of that sturdy, frugal, honest
nnd industrious stock which has contributed
so largely to the prosperity of this preat
otate. His early oppoitunities for educa
tion were few, boi'iip confined to tho winter
chools of bis neighborhood. Early in lifo
ho removed to the county of Washington,
and engaged in farming, the occupation in
which be had been reared. Soon after his
removal to Washington county ho began
to tuko nn active part in politics, and was
elected by bis Democratic neighbor to the
Stnte legislature. lie served in the legisla.
ture fur a number of years, and was chosen
Speaker of the House in the sesuon of 182(1
and 1827. As a Speaker ho maintained a
reputation for promptness and fairness in
his decisions, and impartiality in the or
ganization of tho committees of the body
over which be presided.
Tn 1827 he was appointed by President.
Adams one of the Visitors to West pjint.
A failure to obtain a new nomination fur
the Legislature at the hands of the Demo-
crats compelled him to retire for a few
years from public lifo.
In 1829 Jopph Rifrcr was nominated
for Governor by the rising faction af anti
Masons, at the bead of whom was Thaddeus
Stevens. In this context, his vote was
small. He was again nominated against
George Wolf by the ar.ti -Masons iD 1S32.
and although dclcated, the heavy1 vote
which he received gave evidence of popu.
larity and strength amonsr the people beyond
that of the faction to which he belonged.
Divisions among the Democrats in 1835.
enabled Ilitner to gratify his long-c'je.iished
ambition of becoming Governor. There
were two Democratic candidates in the field,
George Wolf and Henry A. Muhlenburg,
and between tlura Ri'.ner slipped in.
During bis administration the great svsteni
of Public Works inaugurated bj Governor
olf was cnutioued. Somo extravagant
railroad schemes were started, among them
the notorious Tape Worm road in Adams
counfy, the ru'.ued culverts of which are
slill to Ic rccn. Thomas II. Durrowes, now
President of tbe ?fnfe Agricultural College,
was Rifner'k Secretary of State; James
Todd, Fayette counfy, waa the Attorney
General, uud Thuddciis Stevens, a member
of the Canal Dcard, was the leader of the
administration. The laryc appropriations
of the public money, and what was doomed
its reckless and wasteful expenditure in en.
tcrpi-i'os of no benefit to the people, made
the administration of llitncr extremely
unpopular. When presented for re.eVe".
tion, he wns defeated by David R. Porter
by au immense majority. At this election,
for the first t:me in the political history of
theCommonwealth, the most corrupt prac
tices were resulted tu in.-urc success. The
Cunal IJonrd raked from contractors and
others employed on the Public Works what
Tbaddens Stevens irreverently called a
Minsiotiuri Fund to be employed" in elec
tions, and the returns of the votes at Mil
lerstown in Adams county, and other places
showed a capacity for fraud in that early
day which might well excite envy in the
-reast of a Covodo. In the midst of the
storm raised by the attempt to defeat the
will of the people in the elections in 1S3S,
the administration of P.itncr closed. The
lawfully chosen representatives were admit
ted to their scuts and the Buckshot War
ended without the shedding of blood.
Ou retiring from office, Governor Uituer
purchased a faiui iu Cumberland county, on
which he continued to reside almost to the
day ol bis death. He never again c uuiged
from private lite, though be made one -or
two unsuccessful attempts to obtain office.
He was an applicant lot the T)'eaiireihip
of the Mint, under President Taylor, but,
being disappointed, he was ucver again
heard ot in politics.
Though he was the object of much de
uuncidtiou and ridicule while Governor, yet
he was a man cf considerable intellect and
force cf character. Although a vi-W
partisan, some ol the worst acts ot his ad
ministration must be attiibuttd to the reck
lessness of his ofliaial advisers and the partv
spirit wliicli pievuikd at (he time. With
out posscsMtig much education, he had no
little krovlctigc and ixioiinco in public
nflairs. He was one of iho tiovcrnois of

he owed his elevation to the tillers f.f ti e
soil, he was devuli-d to what, be considered
their true interests. Since bis day tho
"Farmer Commonwealth" has disappeaied.
The honest tillers of the ground have lost
their influence in the politics of the State,
aud a new rule has begun its downward
coursa. Gicat curporations, aud rings of
speculators and lobby men bavo obtained
complete control of the government of the
CogiUionwealth. These
agencies were

door and opened it, when Mr. Mctcalf pass

his view. There on tho floor, neat the door,
lay the dead body of Mrs. Wood weltering
in blood, her bead hacked and niaugelcd,
her throat disfigured with gaping wounds
tho back of her skull broken, arm gushed
and neck broken. It was indeed a sicken"

blood, the walls wero spattered with human
gore, a pillow was drenched with blood, and
hair and elots of blood wore everywhere.
The maniac had struck his victim eleven
times with a small hatchet, tho blade of
which, four inches and a half long, was cov

flesh. Wood stood iu tho center of the
room, and Metealf sid, ".Joe. this is a bard

Then, with his eye rolling wildly, the IVi-n
