We address this question to in telligent men in every election district in this county, with the observation that if one half the money that is usu- . ally spent in the heat of political cam paigns, were raised now and applh-d to the payment of subscription to good Democratic journals to be placed in the hands of intelligent and reflecting "Re publicans," there would be much more favorable results at the polls. The "Radicals" all over the country have for years pursued the plan of paying for their papers to be sent to Democrats. This has been a powerful weapon in their hands. Will Democrats take the hint? Cannot some of our friends in each school district club together and : furnish wholesome political reading to their "Republican" neighbors? Nev er mind the scalawags who have no minds of their own or who are "catch 1 votes." Direct your attention to the in telligent and thinking men among your political opponents. Have your county paper sent them regularly and begin sending it as soon as possible. Do not wait until they have commit ted themselves, in their own mind", to the policy or candidates of their par ty. .Voir is the accepted time. Next year there will be an election of great importance to the people of the State, and especially to the people of this county. A Governor and Judge of the Supreme Court, a State Senator a id two members of the Legislature, a Prothonotary, Sheriff, Treasurer, Com- i : niissioner, etc., are to be elected. Of course we shall have lots of candidates for the county nominations. Will these gentlemen, for once, forego a lit tle of the bitter persbnal electioneering which has so often injured the party, J and strive, in generous emulation with each other, to do what they can for a common cause? Will they turn in and help us circulate the GAZETTE, SO that, if nominated, they may the more easily be elected ? We shall see. TKOI'BEE IX THE IUIIK 41. KAX'KN. The mutations of parties are strange indeed. The ups ano downs of politi cians are not less wonderful. Nine years ago, the so-called "Republican" party was but a weak and sickly baby, mewling and puling in the arms of its nurse, W.H.Seward, i.ike the toad that fills itself with vapor and expands • to twice its natnral size, this political suckling drank in the fumes of anti s'.avery agitation and was soon pulled up into a full-blown and overgrown existence. Then came a diet of human flesh and blood,upon which the appe tite of the party was glutted and upon which it grew fat and strong. lJut when the people had made an end of sacrificing to the god of war, the party j which had subsisted upon what the war produced, began to weaken and decay Even its faithful nurse gave it up. Soon, however, its dried up veins were filled with new blood, drawn from the victims of a riot gotten up specially to serve this purpose. Again it became vigorous and mighty. Like all convalescents, it grew fearfully vo racious and threatened todevourevery thing that stood in its pa h. It soon overloaded its stomach with a big : "reconstruction" dinner and the year 1807 found it very low and feeble.— Only one remedy remained, and that was to use the golden pills of the bond holders and permit a butcher who was something of a home-doctor to admin ister them. The physic barely saved the life of the party, and it is even now questionable whether a rupture be tween the physician and his patient will not yet end in death to the latier. Dropping the metaphor, it seems quite probable that the bond question is about to cause a serious quarrel in the itadical party. Gen. liutler clings , to his position with great pertinacity, and is fiercely antagonized by Greeley and most of the eastern Radicals. The western inea generally said with But ler. Grant's cabinet, in all probabili ty, will be divided on this question. As this is an issue that cannot be post poned, or evaded, we shall, doubtless, see lis'ely times in (Congress very .soon. There can be but one coram >n ground j upon which all the factious of the Rad ical party can stand, so far as this Issue is concerned, and that is a consolidation of the pttWc debt. But if they da unite upon this basis, they will be driven , from power, because the people will i then be able to perceive that it is the policy of Radicalism to fasten the debt j upon the country without any design or hope of eventual cancellation. Hence, in the height of their success, in the very flush of victory, the Radi cals stand upon the verge of defeat.— The A word of Damocles is suspended above their heads and the hair that do- I tains the sharp and fatal blow is brittle a glass. Will it not be snapped ere j lour years more of the history of the party shall be written ? Co.vVicTED.—Henry Bear a resident of St. Clair Township, was last week convicted of fraudulent voting and sen tenced to three months imprisonment in thecounty jail and a fineof fifty dol lars. His offence was voting twice, once in Napier township and after ward in St. Clair. He seems to have l>een intoxicated and made the tool of certain over zealous eopi-erhead-, but itdidn't -ave Seymour nor Kimmell either. We ho|>e when the real offen ders and responsible parlies in theca-e are found that they may get the full benefit of the law. There is no great er danger threatening our free institu tions to day than the frauds |>erpetra ted at the ballot Itox, and wherever the instigators of such crimes are found they should be more severely punish ed than their ignorant dupes. Quite a number of fraudulent copperhead votes were polled at the last election and we hojie every one of the offenders may be made to feel the rigors of the law.— Bedford Inquirer. As several persons are under bond to appear in the courts to answer the charge of procuring the above-named Bear to vote fraudulently, we had not intended to print anything upon the subject. But the foregoing requires a few words of explanation. The Inquirer says that Bear was "in toxicated" at the time he duplicated his vote. We have no doubt of it. Drunken men are said to "see double," and naturally are inclined to vote , double. Bear, however, was not "convicted." j He plead guilty. He did this contrary to the advice of his counsel, and as it is generally believed, at the instance of one of the counsel for the Common wealth, who asked the court to make the sentence as light as possible. Why this sudden affection of the prosecuting counsel for this self-eonfessed criminal Bear? Why this anxiety of the coun sel, i the fir-t letters of whose name are John Cessna,) to have this horrid trans gressor of the law so lightly punished ? "Thereby hangs a tale." Bear had turned State's evidence! He had made information against Bur ton Edsall ar.d Adam Earnest, who, he alleges, procured him to go to St. Clair tp., to vote, after he had already voted in Napier. As he had, under the ad vice of Itadical politicians, agreed to swear these parties into trouble, he was no longer a "tool of over zealous copperheads," but, if a tool of anybody, that of malignant and vindictive Radi cals. Of course, front that time for ward he was all right with the "trooly loiI," and deserved only "the lightest punishment tiie court can inflict." But if this man was drunk when he committed the fraud which he has confessed, how can he swear, with any degree of accuracy, as to what occurred between him and Edsall or Earnest? — Is such a man's evidence to destroy the good name of a reputable citizen V Is such a man the witness upon whom the great apostle of Temperance, John Cessna, relies for evidence to destroy the good name of his neighbors? We fully agree with the Inquirer that Bear's duplicated vote did not "save Kiuttnell or Seymour." It was not at all calculated to serve so good a pur pose. It amounted to just two votes for Cessna and Grant, as can easily he proved. There is not a well-posted Democrat in St. Ciair tp.. who does not know that Bear voted the Radical ticket. He may have been intoxicated, as the Inquirer says ai d may not have known what tie was doing, but he did that very thing, nevertheless. We hope, however, that our Radical friends will not get ali their "repeaters" to come forward and plead guilty, as Bear has done, for in that case the jail would have to be enlarged and an additional tax laid to pay for the boarding of such gentry. We are, therefore, inclined to believe that the Inquirer is only joking when it hopes that "every one of the offenders may be made to bear the rig ors of the law." W> would, however, advise our Democratic friend- through out the county to report some of the most flagrant casesof fraudulent voting, to the chairman of the County Com mittee, J. W. Dickerson, Esq., so that an example may l>e made in behalf ot justice and the purity of the ballot-oox. Look them up, friends, and let justice, not vengeance, have its full and unim peded sway. KI-KOXUEIt! After the election of 1864 the Demo crats had the Governor of hut a single State in the Union, Delaware. Braru lette, of Kentucky, was not then a Democrat, having been elected by what was called the "Union" party. After the election of 1868, we have the Governors of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey. Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and California. We have also recovered the state of Oregon, which east its vote for Seymour, and the states of Georgia ami Louisiana, by immense mojorities. These three states will have Democratic Governors in another year, which will give us the control of the executive power in ten states. This shows the recuperative energy of the Iteiuocracy. Next year we shall defeat Geary, which will bring Pennsylvania once more into line. We are growing stronger. Courage, Democrats! Forward in the good cause! Now is the time for effect i ve wort. Your neighbors' beads are eool at pres ent. Talk with them. Some eager sight-seers or office-hun ter* are already engagtug rooms .u Washington for inauguration week. m)t stfrTifo23nrftirTr, C4NT UfANII OE.tKY. There is growing up in the Radical party, quite a spirited opposition to the re-nomination of Gov. Geary. We find * the following in a recent number of Fitzgerald's Philadelphia City Item, a Radical Journal of high standing : "Poor Geary is traveling and begging day and night to secure a re nomina tion. He coaxes, implores, f promi.-es, threatens, whines and cries. Never before has such a spectacle been seen in this .State. Mr. W. W. Ketchum and Gen. Harry White, of Indiana, are his competitors—both abler and better men, and neither of them liars." That is pretty plain talk. Brother Radicals should not thus wash each other's dirty linen in public. Let us have peace! PERIODICALS. THE DAILY MORNING PATRIOT.— This is the largest morning daily pub lished in central Pennsylvania. It is , decidedly the Inst news journal that comes to our office. It receives not only the Associated Press despatches, but also special reports front ali parts j of the country. The latest foreign news, by the Atlantic cable, is regular ly reported for its columns. The markets are made a specialty, and we hazard nothing in saying that its re ports of lite cattle markets of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts burg and Chicago, are fuller than those of any other daily paper. It is served . here by carrier at 75 cents per month, and sent to subscribers by mail at £7.1X1 per annum. The carrier serves the PATRIOT printed in the morning at noon of the same day. No other daily paper reaches here on the day upon which it is printed; hence the news of the PATRIOT is always a day later to subscribers here than that of other dailies.

NEW ORLEANS, November 20. —'The | returns telegraphed some days ago as the official vole of the State was the vote returned to the office of the Secre tary of State. Yesterday the Gover nor, Secretary of State, and the Judge j of the Second Judicial District examin ed the returns, and declared the result of the election. They threw out the entire vote of the parishes of Avoyelles, J West Feliciana, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, Sabine, St. John the Baptist, it. Martin, Ter rebonne, and Washington, for inform ality in the manner of making the re turns, and decided that no legal returns have been received from tho-eparishes, making the entire voie for Grant, as returned by them, 27,911, and for Sey mour 41,358. Notwithstanding the re jection of the vote of those parishes, the Democratic Congressmen are de clared elected front all but the Second District. In the latter district only the parishes of Lafourche, St. Charles, ! and St. James are counted, giving the i certificate to Sheldon for the full term, and to Manard (negro) for Mann's un expired term. Hunt's majority in the Second District for both terms is near ly 10,000. In the First District St Martin's majority over Sypher is re duced by the rejection from 9,400 to 653. The Itepublimn this evening says | there is some ambiguity in the law as to who the returning officers for the parish of Orleans are. The report of | the proceedings of the Governor's Committee shows some diversity of : opinion us to the construction of the law. __ r— Jiidjrf I'tiave Hum tuny with tlx* Iron t ltxl oath. Chief Justice Chase, in the Supreme Court, at Richmond, decided that the iron-clad oath should not be adminis tered to the grand jurymen, as it rath : er hindered than furthered the ends of justice. A new grand jury was then summoned on this decision, and will only take the oath to support the Con ' stitulion of the United States. This decision is eminently wise and proper. Under the iron-clad oath very few of the more intelligent white men of the South could be sworn as jurors. Chief Justice Chase has acted wisely in doing away with it, and all honest and sensible men will heartily approve of what he ha# done.— Lancaster InteLi gencer. NEWS J\ Rflltr. Washington, D. November 20. A denj atch was received at Police Headquarters at half-past three this afternoon from opposite Lincoln liar racks, requesting nil extra men to he sent thither; that from 7" to 100 ne groes were engaged in fighting, Every - thing quiet at 9 o'clock. No arrests reported. One negro killed.

A man named Johnson, recently arrested in Cincinnati, has been brought here, sus pected of having !>een it partv to the robbery of Mr. Cross, a messenger of Adams Express, who was robbed of seven thousand dollars. Johnson was engaged in a similar robbery of a mes senger of the United States Express, three years ago, and sent to the peni tentiary for it, and pardoned before his time expired. It is believed that the right man has been captured. Albany, Novetnlier 2t>.—Elisha B. Foro, the husband of the woman who was murdered at West Davenport, Delaware County, on Tuesday morn ing, as supposed by a burglar, has been held by a unanimous verdict of the coroner's jury to answer the charge of murder. There were two severe fractures on the skull of the victim, besides pistol wounds. An examina tion of the prisoner will commence to day. It is rumored that John Slhlell in tends to make an effort to recover Ids property in New Orleans, and for this purpose has executed a power of attor ney to two New Orleans gentlemen. This was acknowledged before Genera! l>ix, American Minister in Paris, by John Slidell and his daughter, and in Frankfort by his son, before the Uni ted States Consul there. Young Slidell is a clerk in Erlanger's hank. The most sensible election bet yet recorded was that between a genth inan and lady in New Albany, Indi ana. In case of Grant's election he agreed to marry her, and in case of Seymour's success she was to marry h.in. At last accounts the parti-s were very well satisfied with the man ner in which the wager had been de cided. The Charleston Courier of the 14th ult., states that on the previous day, a lady who was passing down Weut worth street, met on her way two col colored girls who rudely pushed a gainst her, and when remonstrahd with, was told by them that she shou d have taken theoutside, and ought to have known better since tlit* election was o ver.

Foreign capital, man aged by men from New York and Boston, now owns four-fiths of the lumber land in the State of Pennsylvania.
