THE RF.St L. F IN BEDFORD ("OS."NTT -
We stated l.i-t week that the Democrats had a
clear majority in the county ol Bedlord ol at ien-t
thirty votes. We made this statement from the be-t
inloi oration That could be obtained fioui the Returns
as liled in the office of Piothonotary of the County.
We now proceed to prove the assertion by the facts
and figures. The Know Nothings claim that they
carried the County by a majority ol' 1 27. Their
leaders boast ol Ibis, and pioclaini it strenuous y, in
order, as they think, to influence the public and pre
vent the tiue result from being believed. They
have made a calculation upon which they base tiieir
assertions. It is as follow* .

We say iiere, without the fear of successful con

untrue—that it dies not reflect the true political sen
timent as exhibited by the return*. They piotessto
regard the vole for Judge a* The test vote. In order
to deceive the public, they hate giv-n the entire rote
of their party for Judge as the majority in several in
stances. We say. unhesitatingly, that there are er
ror- enough in their boasting uml bragging in three
districts alone to change the majority which Ibey
claim in the County into an actual minority. In
Ea-t Providence they claim 107 majority. for
Judge in that district one candidate received 0"* votes
and"lhe other 37 votes. These they add together
and claim 107 majority. I iie iftuins show that 1 12

this ss the result of local causes, and yet .Mr.

THE BANKS AM) THE tOMMOMV KAETH.
j The extraordinary assault upon the Auditor len
ul in the HiteriidiHrg Telegraph ot the 21 St i* quite
as unjust as its assertions are unfounded. Because,
torsoutb .M r. BANKS with five years experience in
office -'and himself a lawyer of -oine pretension,"
happened to differ with a colleague upon a JrUratr
point / costmrta-itun , fie is to he depreciated in The
estimation of the people, anil his fellow public ser
vant. the State Treasurer, exalted on account ol Su
perior astuteness. It is far from being proved that :
Mr. BANK* wa- in error notwithstanding the decla
mation ol the Ttiesraph , particularly as Mr. B. t>
hacked, us we shall piesently show, by what ought
to be good legal authority. Any one reading the
lame number of the tame new-paper in which the
Auditor General i* assailed, will observe in the
comt report, that we have Judge Pi AHSON on one
side ; on tlm other, tbe banks and able counsel, ap
pealing totue Supreme Court which body may re
verse all that the judge below bas done, and thus up
set the guess of tile Treasurer; so far all the deci
-ions are but an < ten gttr*\ (a* to euittiritrltoH.) by all
the parties. This heing the exact state of the case,
the Telegraph should, in common Uiinie**—il Jati
ttess is to be expected from that quarter —have wait
ed until a culmination of decisions had proved the
Auditor General, and Attorney General, clearly and
positively trrnitg. Most right-thinking people would
have chosen that course.
It is shameless to charge the present Auditor with
neglect of duty ever since 16-37, some fifteen years
before he came into office. Tbe details ot any de
paitment of the government. mu*t necessarily he
managed by the clerk*, while the errors are proper
ly to be charged to the neglect ofits bead. As well
might the Governor be expected to write out all his
commission-, or the Treasurer balance in person his
books every evening, no one expects this —no single
man could ever perform Ihe cleiirai labor. In refer
ence to the accounts of banks and other corporations
remaining unsettled, it is not a fault of the pre-enl
Auditor General. The books in his department show
! tiiis account to have been settled regularly opto
November, !S.'!7. when Governor RITMBR came into
office, at which time full settlements appealed to
1,-ivceased. When the present Auditor came into
office in IS7I, nearly 10 years had elapsed, without
;i settlement. He then applied for legislative author
it v. which was accorded, altera lapse of several
years, in 1877. to compel (///corporations to make an
nual reports to him and settle Their account-. '1 he
Legislature ordered a special clerk for the business,
and it is now, after a neglect of somewhere nearly
twenty years, in efficient process of completion.—
Thus proving the present Auditor Jo lie entiiely effi
. cient as well as prompt in the execution ol the pow
ers entru-Ted to him.
Again, if Mr. BANKS settled "small accounts" un
der Mr. Si.tFnp.V view of the case, the principle he
is so lampooned for adhering to, must have been 1
yielded ; thus warning all the bank* that it was to
lie applied to them eventually, hut wil It-held, as the
question was one of magnitude, unite a clear and
po-itive determination—a combined course ol action
—should actuate both branches of the accounting
; department, when it would be enforced upon ail.
' In all this matter we beg to be understood, that i
so far■ as we are concerned we do not care about the
banks or their privilege. 'The object in view i* to
do justice to an honest and upright public servant;
one whose conduct in this question ha- been enthused
and sustained by the highest legal adviser of the
State in the following opinion :
T-ANCASTFII, July 19, 1877. j
lion. V.. Hanks, Auditor General.
Di in bin: I have received Mr. Bailey's letter of
17th tn-r.. requesting ni" to communicate to you my
I opinion on The question whether the Sth section of
the act of 17th March, IMI>. (pamph p. Ifi7) repeals
the 13th section o! the act extending the charter of
the Farmer's and Mechanic's Bank of Philadelphia
passed lfith March, 1810. i have carefully exami
ned the ptfint presented by this question which is a
• curious and peculiar one. am! by no means tree from
• difficulty. lam under the impression that you di
! reeled mv attention to this question upon a former
- occasion, in 1871, and that ] then gave you a lusty
- expression of my views upon it, which have been
t confirmed by subsequent deliberation.
A comparison of the two section* referred to, ex
- hiiiits a curious feature in our legislation. It is ob
vious that that which i* po-terior in date, must have
i fir-' passed through both hotis*-* 0 ! the Legislature:
. and that the Blh section of tbe other act was intended
- to repeal it, and introduce in its stead the scale of
, taxation provided in the 7th ,-ection of" that act ; hut
r ; this intention seems to have been accidentally de
■ feated, by the omission of the Governor to sign the
: bank charter until lite next day after the other act
- was pa-* ;!. Jam of opinion that as the act of liifh
?iateh, is po-terior in date, it would, so far
1 from being repealed by the former, repeal any part
- of thefoimer act whirmsvas inconsistent with its
provision*. Both the section* referred to have been
i superceded, so far as regard* hank- incorporated un
der the general bank act of 10th April, 1870, b)- the

ihe Empress Eugenie has uivi-n birth fo a
„ : Prince, who, as well as his mother, is doing
- : weli. Tit vent ct ated the utmost cnthtisi
a;m in Paris, and the rejoicing was universal.
A salute of one hundred guns announced the
fact to the people. The public buildings and
many private establishments were splendidly
illuminated. In the Palace ol'the Tnileries
the ceremonials directed in anticipation ot the ,
event were strictly carried nut. The Prince is
to have tile title of King ol Algiers.
The following are the particulars published
in regard to the great event in Paris.
PARIS, Sunday, March 16.—The Empress
yesterday felt symptoms of the near appioach ot
the event that France and the world has been
for some tiire* expecting. Her health was good
and everything indicated a happy result. At
hall-past lour oh lock in the afternoon, during
the iemission of the pains of labor, the Empress
got up and walked about her apartment leaning
on the Emperor's arm. She was distinctly seen
i tiv manv of the people who thronged the gar-
I <|en of the Tillleries.
"All last night, a throng of people waited
i outside the palace to learn the result of the Em
press's travail, and before morning, they were,
apprised oftlie biitli ot a Prince, by two lights
being placed in a window. Hail the ini.int
been a Princess, uolv one light would have
made its appearance. At six o'clock in the
morning, a salute ot one hundred and one guns
announced the birth ol the King ot Algeria to
the whole population. The excitement was
great, and the congratulations were general a
niong all classes.
"The Impel ial Prince was privately chris
tened at noon to-day, in the presence ot the
i Emperor, after mass in the chapel ot the luili
eries. The ceremony was performed by Bish
np Nancv, the Emperor's first Almoner, His
Holiness the Pope being Godfather to the Im
perial Prince, and her Majesty the Queen ot
Sweden Godmother.
The Imperial Prince lias received the nanus
of Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph.
"file Emperor has decided that tie will be
god-father and the Empress God-mother to all
legitimate children born in France on the 10th
of March.
"On Monday, at half-past three o'clock, the
Einperor is to receive the felicitations ol the
Senate and Legislative body, the Council of
State, the Magistracy oftlie Institute, the Cler
gy ot the different persuasions, the municipal
corps and drputaiions from the .National Guard
and Army.
"Mux DA v, March 16.—8 v order ofthe Ern
p.-ror gratuitous representations were given at
'J o'clock to-dav, at the expense of the Civil
Lists, in all the theatres of Paris, 111 honor of
the hirlii of the Imperial Prince.
"The Municipal Council ot Paris, on hearing
ofthe Imperial birth, immediately voted the
sum of two hundred thousand francs lor the
poor, of which 100,000 francs will be employ
ed in redeeming bedding pledged in tile .Monte
ile Pierc and the oilier 100,000 in paying tlie
nurses of poor mothers in arrears.
"Ti ICSDAY, March 18th.—To-day the Sen
ate and Legislative corps waited upon the Em
peror to congratulate him upon the occasion of
the birth ofthe Imperial Prince. M. de .Mor
ay, President of the Senate, delivered the ad
dress, to which the Emperor replied with much
emotion. He called to mind that the Napoleon
dynasty had emanated from the people : that it
had experienced forty years ol trial, and that
the Imperial Piince was l>orn HI the midst of
hopes of Peace.
Within a few minutes ofthe birth of the
Prince at a quarter past three this morning, the
Emperor sent messages in his own name an
nouncing the event to tlm Pope, the Queen ot
England, the King of Piedmont, the Queen of
Sweden, tfie (Land Duchess Dowager of Ba
den, and I believe some other Courts. It is a
very curious fact, as showing not only the
! wonders ofthe Electric Telegraph, but also the
activity of great personages at hours when the
( wot I I at large is wrapped in sleep, that tele
graphic messages of congratulation were re
ceived in answer before six o'clock from the
Pope, Queen Victoria, and the Queen of Swe
den.
A tier an announcement that the Corps L--
gislatif would he received at the Tnileries by
the Emperor to-morrow, the House adjourned
til after Passion week.
Among the preparations for the illumina
tions ofthe evening, those ofthe Bourse shine
forth conspicuously, and they are the more
marked because Urn Bourse La> never illumina
ted on any ofthe many recent occasions of pub
lic rejoicing. The decoration erected in front
ofthe Bourse consists of a triumphal arch, sur
mounted by an imperial crow n. On thefiieze
is the inscription, in colored lamps, "The A
gens f|e Change to the Imperial Prince." The
arch is united bv garlands of flowers and ever
greens to fair pyramids surmounted wi'li stars,
ornamented with the national flag, and bearing
the inscriptions, "Vive 1' Empereur," "Vive
I' In.peratrice." Between the pyramids are
four escutcheons, hearing the words, "Confi
dence, Prosperity, Credit, Security." The Mu
nicipal Council, on receiving the news, imme
diately voted a sum of 200,000 francs for lhe
poor, of which 100,000 francs are to he em
ployed in redeeming bedding pledged at the
Mont Pierc, and the other 100,000 francs in
paying the nurses of poor mothers who are in
arrear. Such an immense number qf presents
for the Empress and the imperial infant have
lately been sent to Paris, that it has been found
absolutely necessary to send orders to all the
railway stations and diligence offices in the
counti y not to receive any parcel for such a des
tination. The mom y spent in paying for the
carriage has been enormous. Of course very
few could be accepted, and the gieatei part
were returned to the senders with thanks fur
their offer. The carriage of all these returned
parcels wa< paid by her Majesty. Manv of
the presents were of a very odd character. A
mong the gifts for the infant was an enoimons
case of holey, the carriage of which came to
twenty francs. The Empress received from a
woman i* the South of France an extremely
dirty girdlp, which the donor said sh j had worn
for several! confinements ; as she had only boys
she thought the Empress would be glad to wear
if for luck.'
T am assured positively that the Empress did
not take chloroform, and 1 learn on the same au
thority that the forceps were used.
At half-past four yesterday afternoon, during
a remission of the paius of labor, the Empress
■ got upond walked about her apartment, leaning
on the Emperor's arm. She was distinctly seen
by many people from the gardens of the Tu
i forms.
The happy birth of an heir to the Throne oc
casioned a rise of four sons in trie Rente at the
Little Bourse on the Boulevards-
M. Manteuffel, the Prussian Plenipotentiary,
arrived in Paris last night, and will be presen
ted to the Emperor to-morrow.
The following is the latest boll 'tin of the
health of Prince Jerome :
"Sunday, o'clock.— The respiration is'
more satisfactory. ! here is no fever this morn- i
i ing."
To-morrow all the theatres will he thrown
open gratis. The performances will take place
jat two o'clock in the afternoon.
Before the private baptism ol'the prince,'the
members of tlie imperial family and the court
attended mass in the chapel ofthe Tnilleries.—
The court preacher took a text appropriate to
I Palm Sunday—"Bemdictus qui venti in nomine
Domini, ' "Blessed is he who cometh in the
name of the Lord." After making an ordinary
application ol these words, the preacher ex
claimed, "But your ideas anticipate mine : pub
lic gratitude mingles vv ith the new benedictioi.s
at tlie triumphal pomp of the Saviour of tie*
world. Then, with an apostrophe, he pro
ceeded—"Loid Jesns, sepreme Master of kings
and people, 'I hat hast heard our prayers, and
hast granted the wishes of ih- sovereign and ol
the country. VVe return thanks to Thee before
our altars fir having given to an august union
that fruitiulness which tonus the joy of this
great day. It is Thou who hast bfos.ed, in an
heir to tile throne, both the laith ofthe prince
who proclaims before all the world I is mission,
and the charity of the pious princess, who hon
ors hersell in tieing the protectress ot the un
fortunate and tin* mother of Thy poor. Com
plete Thy mercies, () Loid ! Watch over this,

him 1 hyself to be the happiness of a great peo

magnanimity; from his n.other kindness and
inexhaustible benevolence ; and from both sin
j.cere faith and devoted religion. To sum up
ail, give him a heait worthy of his destiny and
woithv of his name."
"It is a coincidence which cannot fail to
: challege remark that the number of the J\loni
feur which announces the birth of an heir to j
the Bonaparte throne, contains a decree ordain
ing thai all money which still hears the effigy
of Liberty shall cease to be current coin in
France."
