INVESTIGATE!
It is charged that the re-election of
Geary was secured by the manipula
tion of election returns in Philadel
phia and Luzerne county and by other
fraudulent practices. The Democratic
papers in Philadelphia, the Age and
the Evening Herald, have asserted that
Judge Packer received a majority of
the legal votes cast for Governor in
that city, art! that the apparent ma
jority for Geary is tru hped up and fac
titious These charges should be in
vestigated. We are tired of the cry of
'•fraud !" "Laud !" raised after each
successive election, by the defeated
party. InISUT the Radicals insisted
that Judge jSharswood was elected by
illegal and unfair means, but made no
effort to show that what they asserted
was true. In 186:1 the Democrats
claimed that Woodward was defeated
by unlawful appliances, yet no at
tempt wits made to establish yio
fact. There should be an end of this.
The defeated party should acknowl
edge the triumph of its adversary, or,
if it claims such triumphs to have been
obtained by foul means, it should re
- rt to the propel 1 legal measures to re
dress its wrongs, which are as well the
wrongs of the people. We were !>eateri
in the Jate election. This much is cer
tain. If we were fairly beaten, let us
admit the unpleasant fact and iuok to
the future for a better result. If we
were cheated, it is our duty to contend
for our rights and to vindicate them at
ail hazards. Owing to the representa
tion- of the Democratic press in Phila
delphia, the masses of the parti* sin
cerely believe that Geary's alleged ma
jority is fraudulent, and out of this be
lief has grown a general sentiment in
favor of contesting the election. True
there are not many so sanguine as to
hope that Geary may be ousted and
Packer placed in the gubernatorial
seat, for few have any confidence in
the fairness of the Radical legislature
before which such a contest must be
tried. But it is thouj it that an in
vestigation should be had, in order
that the corrupt practices of the Rad
ical managers in Philadelphia and else
where may be exposed and the purity
of the ballot-box vindicated. We,
therefore, hope that the State Commit
tee will see to it that the proper peti
tion for a contest >.-> filed, anil mat oili
er necessary preparations are made for
a thorough investigation of the alleg
ed frauds by the Radicals at the late
election. If ballot-box stuffing, manip
ulation of election papers and whole
sale disfranchisement of precincts and
distrii ts, are to be the rule, the public
should know it as soon as possible.
Let us lay the ax at the root of the
supposed evil, or cease to complain of
it- existence. If we make no effort to
right the wrong, we deserve to la? the
victims of the imposture which we de
nounce but fear to grapple with iu
earnest. What says the Democratic
press of the State. Shall we investi
gate, or content ourselves with idle
complaints?
Gov. HODDEN of North Carolina is
engaged in carrying out a plan of ope
rations In regard to the organization of
negro militia which is creating a great
deal of excitement amongst the people
of that State. What his actual inten
tions are has not transpired, but from
the socresv of his movements the peo
ple have been led to anticipate conse
quences far from being agreeable to
themselves. What the assembling of
these negro troops means has not yet
been developed, but it seems remarka
ble that there should be any occasion
for convening them, and the reasons
why and wherefore lie unknown to the
public generally.
THE cool assurance with which many
radical newspapers of the State in
sert the name of Edward Scuil instead
of that of Ilirani Findlay in the lists of
State Senators, would indicate that
their editors, at least, would not hesi
tate to conn ait the outrage of throw
ing away the vote of an entire election
district because of mere informality,
in order to gain a party advantage.
We have a reason to believe that there
is a strong majority in the Senate,
which could not be induced to carry
into effect such a dishonest scheme, ev
en if the attempt were ma le.

TOW* v*. I'OI'STKT.
Governor Hoffman, of New York,
recently delivered an address before an
Agricultural Society, which, though
highly colored and joetieal in the
main, contained some suggestions of
very practical value to farmers. He
enforced the advantages arising from a
liberal education, the advisability of
rendering their homes pleasant and at
tractive, and gave rather glowing de
scriptions of the advantages enjoyed by
the husbandman over bis fellow-labor
er—the artisan. The most pertinent
point of his addiess, however, was con
tained in his advice to the sons of far
mers against abandoning the slow and
certain success of agricultural pursuits
for the uncertain and wearing ones of
city commercial life. This counsel was
never more needed or applicable than
at present, when every description of
trade and commerce is duller than usu
al in our targe town.. The number of
clerks, book-keepers and salesmen out
of employment forms a very large pro
portion of our population, and the
number daily increases as business be
comes more depressed. Considering
the healthy, invigorating results of a
farmer's life, and its absolutely certain
profits, it is more than doubtful that
it is good to abandon it at any time for
the feverish, uncertain hopes of reward
held out by the city ; but at present,
when, for every vacant clerkship, there
area hundred applicants, it is folly for
the young fanner to think of exchang
ing the country for the town. He is
not wanted here, and he is wanted
there; it is nothing to urge that the
fall harvests are garnered ; that he has
nothing to do about the farm, and that
ho may find work in the city for his
idle hands to do. In both cases he is
apt to be mistaken; about the farm
there is always work to be done—work
that is healthy alike for body and soul.
But while employment is only a bare
possibility here, want of it is a fact that
stares thousands in the face, and plun
ges hundreds into the way of tempta
tion and vice.
As for embarking in any business at
present that requires capital, the in
vestment would hardly be considered
judicious, unless supported by experi
ence and knowledge of trade, neither
of which young farmers would be like
ly to have. In any case, however, the
risk would be great while business re
mains in its present flat condition, and,
undoubtedly, those who take Governor
Hoffman's advice, and stick to the
plow, wiil be doing the wisest thing
imssihle City JTj-ch <mfr ■■
IN every report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, we are informed of a
large amount of capital laying idle—of
gold and silver and greenbacks. What
good does that amount do the coun
try in its hoarded piles? Why not put
it to use? All the government abso
lutely needs, is sufficient for ordinary
outlay and expenses; beyond that ev
ery dollar should be used to reduce the
debt and relieve the taxation.
We are paying heavy interest on the
millions now laying idle in the Treas
ury vaults. Is there an honest farmer
or badness man in the country that
would mortgage his property to the a
mount of millions at a heavy per een
tage, while he had the capital laying
idle in bank?
The country is suffering in business
for the wan: of capital; let the Treasu
rer pay it out.

CHICAGO, October 28.—A special
from Cnrbondale, Illinois, says that
the steamer Stonewall, which left St.
Louis on Tuesday evening for New
Orleans, heavily laden with passen
gers, horses, mules, bay, and other
freight generally, last night about
eight o'clock, when near Neely's
Landing, ten miles from Grand Tow
er, took fire, and despite all efforts to
save her, was burned to the water's
edge. When the fire broke out every
effort wasjmade to land, but the steamer
was so heavily laden that she could not
be brought nearer than one hundred
yards of the shore. Great confusion
and terror prevailed. There were a
bout two hundred cabin and deck pas
sengers aboard, quite a number of
whom were women and children.
The flames spread with great rapidi
ty.
Scores of men sprung into the water
and attempted to reach the shore by
swimming. Nearly all these were
lost. Every conceivable object that
could he obtained was thrown into the
water, and to those the passengers
clung with all the tenacity of life.
The steamer Belle Memphis, ('apt.
C'ranly, on her way to St. Louis, reach
ed the scene during the fire and picked
up from the water all that are known
to be saved. The pilot, engineer, sto
ker, carpenter and forty-four passen
gers are known to be saved. The cap
tain, clerks and other officers, deck
hands and many passsengers were
lost. All the books and papers of the
boat were lost, as also were the cattle
and other freight on board. A num
ber of persons died after reaching the
shore, from exposure in the water.
There was no explosion. All of the
women and children were lost—near
ly if not all being burned to death.
The conduct of the passengers and
officers is said to have been heroic.
Such an appalling scene has not been
witnessed on the Mississippi for many
years. The saved were kindly cared
for by the officers of the Belle of Mem
phis, and were carried to St. Louis.
The number lost is over two hundred.
Three Boy* lioltl ;t T'ourtli over n I'ire
and Boast Him.
We have heard of an act perpetrated
on the 20th inst., near this borough,
which surpasses in cool ferocity and
fiendishnes- anything that ever took
place in this country. It seems that on
that day, three boys belonging to this
borough or Mt. Carbon, it is not yet
definitely known, vent out on the
road between this borough and Cress
ona. uutii they reached a point about
a mile beyond Hillside. About a quar
ter of a mile from the house of a labor
er named Hornickel, several children
were playing, among them his son
Frederick, between 11 and 12 years of
age. The boys when they reached
this spot, built a fire, seized and drag
ged Frederick to it, and most horrible
to state, held the little hoy over it, un
til he was aciuany roasted. When
found the injured boy was in a terrible
condition, and it is feared that he is
burned internally by inhaling the
flames, lie has not been able to talk
since the occurrence and is in a critical
condition.
We understand that the motive for
the inhuman act is suppossed to have
revenge fur information th.it Frederick
had given of some boys who had re
cently robbed a neighbor's spring
house.
One arrest has been made, and after
a partial hearing before Squire Fraiiey
the accused was held for a further
hearing on Wednesday next.
That mere boys should be guilty of
such a fiendish act seems incompre
hensible, but the facts of the case are
to that effect If discovered and con
victed, the incarceration in the prison
for a lifetime would not be too severe
a punishment.—J liner's Journal.

The Sioux City Times learns from Cap

details of one of the most harrowing
tales of loss of life by fire that has ev
er came within the range of later
day occurrences. About five weeks
since a band of the "Sioux," under
"Little Bear" were camped on the
South side of the .Missouri river above
Fort Riee. A large number of squaws
with their papooses accompanied the
Indians. They camped for the night,
and not thinking of danger, had all
gone to sleep ; about midnight the pra
irie contiguous to their lodges was set
on fire, and before the alarm could be
given, or measures taken to save their
lives, about one hundred were consum
ed in the flames, together with a con
siderable amount of dried meats, and
such articles as I hey usually carry with
them, or use while in camp ; about sev
enty ponies, were likewise burned, the
others made their escape by being
driven to a place of safety.

H c h c nek's Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pi lis, will curoCon
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia, it ta
ken according to direction? They are nil three
to be taken at the game time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver,and put it to work : then
the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and
makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in
flesh : the diseased matter ripens in the lungs,
and the patient outgrows the disease and gets
well. This is the only way to cure consumption
To these three medicines Dr J II Schenck. of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it oil'by an easy expcctora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slightcough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to U3C unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic i? a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to thr.w out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too inuch ; they
j give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secre'ions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies
Dr. Schenck. in his treatment, docs not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Ite
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker. Ulcerated Throat, unless ihe liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercleg, ab
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lur.gs are a mass of indammatior. and fast de
caying. In such cases what must be done? It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only charce is to take Schenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begiu to want food, it will digesteasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal ap.and the pa
tient gets Uesny ant well. This is the only way
to cure cor,sump!ion.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyel uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate, lie was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tho same remarkable
success Full directions accompanying each,
