The election in this county pa-sod off
very <iuietlv, hut an unusually heavy
vote was polled. The Democrats in
ereased their vote from 2567, last year,
to 28; D, being a gain of 208. The op
position increased their vote front 2431
last year, to 2591, showing, on the whole,
a Democratic gain of 108. Considering
the tremendous effort made by tho en
emy to carry the county, this result is
most gratifying to the Democracy. It
was the boast of the Radical leaders in
this borough that they would carry the
county, and they even published a ta
ble furnished by their shrewdest calcu
lators which gave them 148 majority.
Of course*, much of this was brag, for
the purpose of keeping up the spirits
of their friends in the county, whom
they have so often deceived with false
predictions about carrying the county,
that an extraordinary effort was neces
sary, this time, to make them swallow
the same old dose over again. It is
well known, too, that John Cessna ex
erted himself to his utmost to defeat
O.K. Shannon, Esq., the Democratic
candidate for l'rothonotary, and to this
end money was made to flow like wa
ter. At least $2,000 were spent to ac
complish this object, hut the brave and
incorruptible Democracy could l>e nei
ther frightened nor bought into a de
sertion of their candidate. Again, in
every district in which the Radicals
had control of the election-boards,
Democrats were disfranchised on the
ground that they were "deserters."
In this way at least 12-"i Democratic
votes were lost. Yet, despite all these:
untoward eireum stances, we have in-!
creased our majority ins votesover that
of last year, elected every man on our
county ticket, and gave the district
ticket a handsome gain over the ma
jority for Mr. t'lymer. This result has :
knocked the bottom out of the hopes
of the Radicals of this county. They
acknowledge that Red ford county is
permanently and reliably Democratic, i
They know that we have a reserve vote
of 2T>O, that can he polled in future, for
the "Deserter" law will not operate
hereafter and tiie money of the Luion
League is pretty nearly spent. In
short, there never was a brighter pros
pect ahead for the Democracy of Bed
ford comity. With proper work, our
majority can he increased to Goo, next
year, and when that point is reached
we shall soon tie able to overcome the
Jtndica! majority in Somerset. Let us,
therefore, take fresh courage, and la
bor with renewed zeal for the success
of that cause which must triumph in
the end, come what may.
TIIE STATE or SOI TH \>l !TO\.
"What do you think of Southamp
ton ?" "Did you hear from Southamp
ton?" Such were the questions asked
on all sid.son thenightof theelection.
Yes, we heard from Southampton and
we think well of Southampton. Last
year it gave us ITS majority, this year
ISI, a gsuri of T>! Well done, South
ampton, glorious Southampton! The
fact is that Southampton is a State, a
little State, all by itself, and it can just
give as much Democratic 'majority as
it pleases. Whenever the enemy
threaten to carry the county, South
ampton comes to the rescue and routs
them "horse, foot and dragoons." But
like a prudent general, Southampton
always keeps a force in reserve. There
are 270 Democratic votes in Southamp
ton, and whenever they are needed
they will IM-polled. This year there
were but 2St polled. Had every vote
been out, we would have had 212 ma
jority. But Southampton is the ban
ner township, this year, and we say all
honor to the State of Southampton.
THE KESILT IN TE fE STATE!
(ioir) Elected flo rernor!
' A Ieiii<wrntie < i of 0.000 !!
The President En<!or*ed !
The election in this State has resulted
in the choice of John W. Geary for
Governor, by a majority of 13,500
showing a Democratic gain since last
year of 9,000 votes. This is a cheering
sign, and will inspire the Democracy
with renewed hope and energy in their
struggle for the redemption of the
country from the misrule of Radical
ism. Another such a charge upon the
enemy's works, as that we have just
made, and our flag will float in triumph
from their very citadel. Our noble i
standard-bearer, Hioster Clymer, made
a gallant light, and if the blow he gave
lite Radical Disunionists be vigorously
followed up, by next year the Keystone
State will be redeemed. So, up and at .
them again!
" We'll pitch our tent on this camp-ground,
And give the devil another round!"
The returns are as follows; those for
Bradford, latwrence, Huntington, In
diana, Tioga and Washington being
reported, the rest official, and 110 re
turns from Butler, Cameron, Forest,
Elk and Sullivan, which give Clymer
about 550 majority.

j Net gain. His
Juniata did very well, the small re
duction of her majority having been
I caused by removals from the township,
j Harrison also did nobly, a number of
her voters having been disfranchised
jby the Radical board. Colerain did
excellently, having lost many of her
Democrats by death and removal, yet
gaining 9 on her majority of iast year.
Old St. Clair, al.so, pulled up strong,
! polling more than her quota of the
| 3,<i6i> Democrats in the county. Union
! and the two Wood berries contended a
gainsi great odds, but came out with
handsome gains, whilst Broad Top and
Hopewell also did their whole duty,
the former gaining large v over last
year. Bloody Run did very well, and
West Providence held the enemy gal
lantly at bay. Little Londonderry
came out with colors flying, and ranks
next to Southampton in her gains.
The "headless horseman" played the
devil in East Providence, but Cumber
land Valley tired up and pretty nearly
wiped out the Radical gain of her old
! rival. Liberty and Schellshurg lost a
few by removals, and Bedford tp. fail-
Ed to come up to the scratch. Monroe
held her own, and 011 the whole the
Radicals have been terribly routed.
A CLOSE CAMTJ.ATIOX.
How Ihr I'coplf arc Deceived.
It was the dodge of the Radical poli
ticians, during the recent campaign, to
blow and brag at the top of their bent,
in order to keep their men up to the
work. They claimed the State by 50,-
(Mio majority, offered to hot on 35,000,
and hereabouts they claimed theeoun- j
ty—John Cessna and others proclaim
ing that they had the vote already j
counted, and that Geary would have
150 majority in old Bedford. This kind
of lying made their adherents work
till their nails turned blue, for they
would have spoiled their best linen if
they could only carry the county.
Now, these dupes of Cessna A Co. can
see how they have been fooled. They
can see, too, how much that calculation 1
published in the Bedford Inquirer of
October sth, was worth. Just look at
it. Clymer's majorities are set down
as follows: C. Valley 95, (short 26;)
Colerain 52, (short 31;) Londonderry j
15, (short 28;) Liberty 5, (short 17;)
Napier 36, (short 23;) Southampton 125,
(short 56;) Snake Spring 5, (short 12.)
< ieary's majorities: Bedford borough 5,
(Clymer has M;) Bloody Run off, (is
43;) Broad Top 95, (iss3;) Harrison Iff,
(Clymer has 1;) Hopewell 70, (is 59;)
Monroe 66, (is 50;) Providence, E., 125, i
(is 116;) St. Clair Iff, (Clymer has 37;) I
Union in, (is 18;) M. Woodberry lffff, j
(is 71;) S. Woodberry 36, (is 15.) Bed- j
ford tp., Coahlale, Juniata, Schellshurg i
and W. Providence are the only (lis- ,
tricts in which this calculation approx-1
imated correctness. The remainder i
show an error of upward- of 100 votes.
Who will he fooled next time?
HON. J. .11•!>. SII Utl'E.
()ur excellent candidate for Congress,
31 r. Sharpo, though defeated, made a j
gallant light. lie leads his ticket in I
Adams, Bedford,- Franklin and Fulton. \
Under ordinary circumstances,he would j
have been elected bvat least sff(imajori- !
.
ty. But money and misrepresentation 1
carried the day, and 110 man could have
resisted, with success, these potent influ- 1
ences. Our opponents sometimes make
flings at the supposed ignorance of for
eign-born citizens ; but what is to be
said of thegross mental blindness of a !
class of men in their own ranks who
never vote except when they are fright- j
ened to the election 1 by such silly stories !
as that the Democrat.* intend to rep a- \
diaf.e the Federal deMandassume the debt ;
oj titr twe naninmi onjeaeixvy : . _vi
least 1,606 of these beautiful specimens
of "Radical" intelligence, who haven't, i
voted for ten years, were brought
out to vote against Mr. Sharpo, 1 • this
"cock and bull story" invented for the
occasion. When they find out how they
have I teen fooled they will feel a good
| deal worse than the men they helped
to defeat. We hope they can-loop with
out dreaming about losing their U.S.
j Bonds.
O. E. SHANNON. EStJ.
The most violent and desperate ef
forts were made by the Radicals of this
I county to defeat Mr. Shannon, the De
-1 mocratic candidate for Prothoriotarv.
• His political record was mßrepresent
| ed, his conduct as an officer assailed,
nay, his very acts of charity perverted,
j in order to consummate his defeat.
j Money, too, was lavishly expended in
I the interest of his opponent, whilst all
j the trickery and jugglery of the elec
i tioueering art were resorted to for the
purpose of running him behind his
ticket. But, notwithstanding all this,
Mr. Shannon has been elected by an
overwhelming vote, by a majority that
teaches all who would strike down a
regularly nominal'".! D -ni tcratie can
didate in this county, thut they might
as well spare themselves the pains of
trying. We do not charge Esq. Ling
j enfetter with what we have said above,
as to the maimer in which Mr. Shan
| lion's enemies sought to defeat him;
those to whom we refer will understand
well enough whom we mean. In eon
i elusion, we congratulate Mr. Shannon
upon his success, for few men could
have made such a ran with so great
odds against him. As for poor Cessna,
1 we pity him, hut he ought to know by
this timethat it Ls ' hard to kickagainst
the pricks!"

—We have no comment to make up
on the above, but we return our thanks
to our friends, Democrats and Repub
licans, who favored u.s with their sup
port. As deary's majority in the dis
trict is 770, anil considering that we
didn't. deliver a eulogy on Booth, we
feel rather proud of our "run." We
feel especially grateful to the people of
Bedford county, and particularly to
our own immediate neighbors for the
endorsement th y have given us. For
instance, Bedfird borough, Clymer 10
majority, Meyers 10; Bedford tp., Cly
mer 88, Meyers 101 ; Bedford county,
Clymer 211, Meyers 311. Who would
not feel proud of such friends? Ful
ton county, too, lid her duty. In fact
she is the baunei county in the Senato
rial and Congressional districts. All
honor to her nobe i)e mot-racy! As for
Somerset—well, we can't do justice to
the subject.
vol.. ,nK.\ si. ni.i.iui.
The majority for Col. Filler in this
county is 286 o"er Richards, and 274
over Welier, leading Clymer 42 on
Richards, and 30 on Welier. This is a
splendid endorsement of the course
pursued by Col. Filler, it is the ver
dict of lie people, "Well done, we
stand by yoi in your manly and mag
nanimous position." Who would not
to-day rather range himself by the side
of this gallant soldier, who fought and
suffered for the Union, and sustain him
as he lifts his voice for re-union and
peace, than to be found alongside of the
howling dervishes and canting dema
gogues who, for the sake of place and
power, appeal to the meanest prejudi
ces and foulest passions of the human
heart? The right-thinking, true-heart
ed men of the "Republican" party will
soon stand where Col. Filler has taken
position, and then Bedford county will
repudiate, with an overwhelming vote,
the diabolism of the leaders of the Rad
ical party.
25,000 VOTERS DISFRANCHISED!
Geary is indebted for his election to
the infamous "deserter" law, under the
operation of which from 25,000 to 30,000
Democrats were disfranchised. 00,000
names appeared upon the Lists of De
serters printed by the Adjutant Gener
al. One half of these are "Republic
ans" and were permitted to vote by
Democratic a- well as "Republican"
boards. But not one Democrat whose
name was found upon those lists was
permitted to vote by "Republican"
boards. Our own county can furnish
sufficient evidence on this subject. Of
course this business will be tested in
the courts.
SOL!>IKBV ritiEsns.
The soldiers of the county can now
see who are their real friends. The pro
gramme laid down by President .John
son's administration, in the matter of
appointments to office, is as follows: 1.
A Republican Soldier, favorable to
President Johnson's policy ; 2. A John
son Republican ; 3. A Democratic Sol
dier; I. A Democrat. Thus it will bo
seen that the soldiers of both parties
are preferred in appointments to office.
Was it so uiuFr Radical rule?
TJIKRE is a Federal Assessor in East
Providence township, who imagines
his " head off," and who presumed it
the duty of Ills official ghost, in advance
of his decapi ation, to ride from house
to house and Lighten the people of that
township out of their homes on election
dav. The " headless horseman" must-
be a terrible spectre to the yeomanry
of E. Providence, that lie can scare
them so completely out of their pro
priety. Bah! For shame I To let a
man without a head frighten and rule
yOU !
Con. J'Hl.v H. Frni.HU addressed a
very large meeting of the people, in
front of tie Court House, 011 Monday
evening, Cot.s. Ile made ft very sound
conservative speech, giving the Radi
cals sonic forty-pounders right through

BUUTAL— Thad. Stevens in a speech
the other-lay referred in the following
brutal language to Mr. Seward:
"The elder clown, owing to the wear
and tear of age and suffering—you know
he had lib arm broken, and his jaw
broken, and his neck broken almost —
inducing K necessity for certain opiates,
which ban very much worn down bis
vigor.'"
This mode of dealing with political
opponents no doubt is deemed exceed
ingly effective by a certain class. But
surely no one who aims to think inde
pendently and to act honestly can help
deploring, deeply and sadly, that party
advocates should find audiences, either
great or small, either ignorant or intel
ligent, that could tolerate such a style
of warfare. It is grossly insulting to
the whole community.

I>a.v of Appointed.
Washington, Oct. B.—The following
pnx'latnntionhasjustbeen issued bythe
President of the United States.
Almighty (tod, our J leavenly Fa til
er, has been pleased to voueliafe to us as \
a people, another year of that national i
life, which is an indispensable condi
tion of peace, security and progress.
That year has moreover been crowned
with many peculiar blessings. The civ- 1
ii war that so recently closed among us
has not been anywhere reopened, for
eign intervention has ceased to excite
alarm or apprehension. Intrusive pes
tilence has been benignly mitigated.
Domestic tranquility has improv; d.
Sentiments of coneilliation have largely
prevailed, and the affections of loyalty
and patriotism have been widely receiv
ed. Our fields have yielded quiteabun
dantly. Our mining'industry has been
richly rewarded, and we have been al
lowed to extend our railroad system far
into the interior recesses of the country;
whileourcommereehasrosuined itseus
tornary activity in foreign seas.
Thesegroat national iiles-ingsdemand
a national acknowledgment.
Now, therefore I, Andrew Johnson,
President- of the United States, do here
by recommend that Thursday,the'ifith
day of November next, be set apart and
observed everywhere in the several
States and Territories of the United
States, by the people thereof, as a day
ofthanksgivingand praise to Almighty
Ond, with due remembrance that "in
Hi- temple doth every man speak of His
honor."
I recommend also, that on thosamcsol
emn occasion they do humbly and de
voutly implore Him to grant to our na
tional councils, and to our whole peo
ple, that Divine wisdom which alone
can lead any nation into the ways of all
good.
In offering these national thanksgiv
ings. praises and supplications, we have
the Divine assurance that "the Lord re
niaineth a King forever; them that are
weak shall be guided in judgment, and
such as are gentle shall He learn His
way. The Lord shall give strength to
His people, and the Lord shall give to
His people the blessings of peace."
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this,
the Bth of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, and of the Independence of
S the United States, the ninety-first.

HOW THE AJ.S EUXTEO
Til KIR t'OX RESSM EX.
Many of our readers who are not in
the habit of paying particularattention
to the figures to be found in an election
return will marvel at the apparent en
dorsement by the people of such Con
gressmen as O'Neill, Kelly and Myers;
but a little examination affords a perfect
explanation of t lie affair. We stated for
several days previous to the election
that the Radicals were colonizing voters
extensively into the doubtful districts,
and here is the proof of the fact. In 1865
tin* vote east in the First Congressional
District was 23,504 ; on Tuesday last it
was but 10,581, showing a decrease of
3,1)1'.") votes. No candid man will allege
that there is any falling oil' of popula
tion in that district, and all agree that
the entire vote on both sides was brought
out all over the <*ity. Where then did
this vote go to? Mr. Randall's majori
ty on a poll of less than twenty thous
and is 4,653, whilst in 1865, in a pol
three thousand five hundred and four
but 2*428.
These facts show clearly that a large
portion of the vote of the district was
transferred and that the transferred vote
was altogether Radical. Let us see what
became of it. in 1 there were 18,<>01
votes cast in the Second congressional
district, and oil that sngjil poll Mr. < >'-
Xeill's party had a majority of over
4.000. On Tuesday last there were 21,1 s4
votes given, ami in this large poll the
same gentleman's majority was but 3,
324. Two fac< - are shown in both these
cases; first that Randall, with a smaller
vote east, was more largely endorsed
than ever before, and that <) Neiii, with
a poll over 1,500 greater, was endorsed
by a majority of i,sno less than in 1865.
The Radioed ('<>n<jr< ss, therefore-, /s not
(■adorned in thin cane.
Rut let uslookattheThird district. In
1865 the vote polled wa520,030; on Tues
day last it wa523,951,an increaseof3o2l.
in 1805 Mr. Myers' party had a major
ity of 1, .558; on Tuesday he was re-elec
ted by a majority of l,osr>; thus showing
that if there had not been three thous
and votes colonized into his district he
would have been badly beaten,and that
witli the colonization his conduct is ap
proved by nearly live hundred less than
he was in 1805. Now let us take the
Fourth district. In 1865 there were 22,-
228 votes east in that district; on Tues
day there w0re27,601 votes polled. In
ls<j.-> Mr. Kelley's parly had a majority
of 4,1)58, but on Tuesday the champion
of negro suffrage was re-elected by a ma
jority of 2,153. Kelly, therefore, is ah
nolo!(■!(/ condemned by the legal vote of
his district. There is no doubt about the
system of colonization adopted and pur
sued by the Radicals, and it is perfectly
clear to every man who will examine
the subject carefully, that their candi
dates for Congress are all returned as e
lected through the operation of a huge
fraud. CoN'OUK.-S W.\s XoT r.NIOUSKI)

Av ELECTION FA sa E.— Yesterday
the form of a popular election was gone
through in Baltimore. In theory, a tree
people was engaged in an act of self-gov
ernment, atid a stranger in our midst
might have wondered at, and probably
have applauded, the quiet working of
democratic systems and republican in
stitution.-. In point of feci. an in-igr.ili
cant minority here, hacked by the aa
thoriticsand an armed police, who were
installed in power by the bayonets of
the Federal <Government, held the bal
lot-boxes in their own hands and arbi
trarily excluded Ir an all the privileges
of citizenship those who had ventured
in the past live years to entertain polit-"
ical opinions diilerent from those advo
cated by the dominant faction. Some
five 01' six years ago the voting popula
tion of Baltimore nuinhered some thir
ty-live thousand. Yesterday there were
but seven thousand nine hundred and
seventy-nine votes cast, of which live
thousand four hundred and live were
given the ultra Medical candidate, Mr.
.1. L. Chapman, who is thus made Ma
yor of a city contuining over three hun
dred thousand inhabitants. We refer
our readers to our local columns for the
results of the proceeding. Wo refer

ving at tpe Indian camp, the captives
were knocked about with clubs, and
brutally abused. <)n hearing their con
dition, the commanding officer at Ft.
Dodge, not having sufficient force to
revue them, effected their ransom, and
will -end them to their friends in Tex
as, a- soon as they recover from their
terriblesufferings. While in the In
dian camp, the officer sent to arrange
their ransom saw the captives knocked
down three times and violated.

speeches, says that the President was

have complimented Forney, hut we are

necessarily severe on the ducks.

A HUMBUG.—How often we hear
this expression from persous reading advertise
inents ot patent medicines, and in nine cases out of
ten they may be right. It is over Iff years sinee I
introduced my medicine, the VENETIAN LINIMENT,
to the public. 1 had no money to advertise it, so
1 left it for sale with a few druggists and store
keepers through a small section of the country,
many takiug it with great reluctance; but 1 told
them to let any one have it, and if it did not do
all I stated on my pamphlet, no one need pay lor
it. In some stores two or three bottles were taken
on trial by persons present. I was, by many,
thought crazy, and that would be the last they
would see of me. But I kuew my medicine was no
humbug. In about two months I began to receive
orders for more Liniment some calling it ray val
uable Liniment, who nad refused to sign a receipt
when I left if at their store Now my sales are
millions of bottles yearly, and all for cash. I war
rant it superior to any other medicine for the cure
of Croup. Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Colic, Vomiting,
Spasms, and Sea-sickness, as an internal remedy.
It is perfectly innocent to take internally (seeoath
accompanying each bottle) and externally lor

SCHKNCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.— This
medicine, invented by Dr. J. 11. Schcnck. of Phil
adelphia, is intended to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, the first process of digestion. By
cleansing the stomach with Schcnck's Mandrake
Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it will be eas
ily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schcnck'-' Pul
monic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence thu Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly every case of eon
sumption. A halt dozen bottles of the SEAWEED
Toxti, and three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary e ise of dyspepsia.
Dr Schcnck makes professional visits in New
York. Boston, and at his principal office in Phila
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place, or his pamphlet on consumption, forliisdays
of visitation.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor, one when in the last stage
of consumption, and the other as he now is, in pcr
tect health, are on the Government stamp
Sold by all druggists and dealers; price 81 60
per bottle, or §7 50 the half dozen. All letters for
