Tit a ElaeLl on.
resit Of theelection on Tuesday 'last
appeals to bo'against . the Republicans. The
returtia are, h2wever, indefitute; as yet. The
reDorted majorities again - st us, range from five
,tojtvelye thousand. In this Cout.ty, we have
carried oiti 'whole ticket but with a reduced
majority, - compared with last year. Williams
onitmndidate for Supreme Judge has a 'ma
jority ,(according to our figures) of MA. The
editnty ticket will full a little short of this. The,
votein the county does not indicate an in
creaSe on tho.part of our opponents, but a de
cline on our own.. General Apathy, not the
Lost Cause men. "did the business for us. We
shall give the result in detail next. week.
—Later news. Is more , favorable.. It is now
reported that Williams has a small majority
over Sharswaod in the State. We hope this
is true.
.-Tim Republicans of this county who absent:.
ed -themselves from the polls yesterday,
through, .apathy or business engagements
,shouldexamine, the following figures with
seine degree of eat*: .
• At the last anuual'election held in this cougr
previous to the one held yesterday, - the Re:
publicans polled 3310 votes. Yesterday they
polled alma 2810, showing that 500. Republi
can-voters of Beaver Co. thought the election of
so little importance as t b prevent their attend
ance at the polls. At the election held one
year ago the Democrats polled 2.435 votes.—
Yesterjlay they polled about 2211. ; showing
that every man of them; ,Pzeepting 114, were
on the ground, voting and "fighting for their
principles." - This fact should putt our lazy
' R epublicans to shame, , and wring from them a
vow that they never will be so derelict to da
ty again.
The Result of the Election.
To put the worst look on the incomplete re
turns of the election in this State yesterday,
will concede, until sonulthing better is rece v
ed, that ' they make the result doubtful; w*
the odds in favor of the liemo era LS. The vote
was a light one, the galls of the ,Democrats—
as in Philadelphia—decided, witha p,r,etfy uni
form cutting down of the Republicama lori
ties. If the report of six thousand in Berks is
correct, It is .indicative that the Democrats
have held their own in their strongholds. Un
der such circumstances we can not quite per
cieve bow our majority in the State last year
- 7 -which was 17,174—can stand the drafts,
great and small, thus made upon IL The re
sult in Philadelphia tripes out something like
forty per cent:of it. A loss of one thousand
is reported in Chester. While we have offsets
inltho reported result in* Fayette-and a few
other,dolinties,iiwe are apprehensive that they
' will not prove sufficient to withstand these
losses. Our friends t n Philadelphia express
considerable confidence; but unless they hay.e
figures decidedly different from those we have
wo - do not quite see wherefore. We hope they
are correct, and shall await returts that are to
prove they are with interest and as much
hopefulness as the circamstances will permit.

A Ladys Opinion oi a Lady'lMan.
Mrs. StCphens, in her monthly Magazine ,
gives a certain set of men, the like of whom
are seen in every community, the benefit- of
her opinion as follows t'
Our Own private opinion on the 'lady's
limn" is,that he is thoroughly contemptible
a sort of life hardly worth thinking about--a
,nutshell with the kernel withered uP—a
handful of foluzi drifting over the wine of life
—something not altogether unpleasant to the
fancy, but of no. .earthly mil. A woman of
sense would as soon be,put to sea in a man
ofwar made of shingles, ortaho nri her
,resi
dance in a card house as dream of attaching
herself to a ; . .
Women worth the name are seldoth deceiv
ed into thinking our lady's man the : . choiCest
specimen of his sex. Whatever their igno.
rime maybe, womanly intuition must tell
them that theinen who live fora gnat object,
undwhos e spirits are sofirmly knit that they
I ire, !Me to encounter the • storms of life—men
Whose depth andwarmth of feeling resemble
the.powerful current of a mighty river; and
not the Ipubbles on its surface—wfuk..if they
love, are neier • smitten by mere beinty of
form or feature S—that . these men are more
worthy even of-occupying their thoughts in
idle moments than the fops and men about
town, with whose attention they !mimic Ahem
solves. -• If wewere-to tell hint Wile would

her feelings were in regard to ' the Republican
