TILE RepublicatiArictiiry in Cali
fornia seems to , be complete. The
Republicans have not only elected
the entire Congressional delegation,
but the State' Legislature is also Re
publican by a large majority, thus
securing the next U. S.Aienator.
IF it be true it as Maine goes so goes
the Union," then the Republicans
need
,have but tittle fear for some time
to come. At the election held in that
State last week;-Perham, Rep. candi
date for Ooveaker, beat his opponent
11,000, gaining. 3;:000 on his majority
of last year. The State Legislature
is also Republiam by a heavy -ma
jority.—
THE 13.epablicans of Pennsylvania
have good encouragement, by the re
sult of the late elections from every
point of the compass, that theriprin
ciples are popular with the people.
All thatls necessary to secure a tri
umphant .victory in this State, is
unity of action and untiring effort
from this until the election in Octo-
Der next. Such a result in Pennsyl
vania will place the Presidential
election, in 187.2, beyond all-perad
venture; in the potter of the Itepul.)-
limn party. Keep this fact in view,
and go solidly to thepolls. --..et there
be no split—no faction—no division
in our ranks.
AT the time when the country WILS
In its greatest peril—when one South-
ern State after another, in quick suc
cession, was retiring from the Union;
when Congressmen were withdraw
ing from the l Natio.nal Senati/and
House of RepresentativW: when the
American flag was fired upon at
Fort Sumter ; when ?nen and money
were called for to repel insurrection
and uphold the Unioir=the Demo-
cratic party in Congress and out re
fused
to aid in supporting the gov
ernment, but gave aid and comfort to
those in rebellion. Would it now be
good policy to trust them with politic
al powers ? Let the people answer at
the October election. Vote the en
thti Republican ticket.
WHAT strange phases the shifting
Democracy a.urne for the purpose of
deceivingthe people into voting their
ticket. For instance during the ti me of
the war after two years of bloody
carnage and the expenditure of mill
ions of treasure for tin; salvation of
the Union, that party in National
• Converition,: . re..‘nlved that the war
was a failitre. They denounced
Union soldiers as hirelings, denied
Nhem the privilege of citizenship
. while lighting the battles of the
Union, and stigmatized them as cut-
throats while upholding the honor
of their country. Now, that same
4 party would have the people believe
`they honor the.soldier, and were fa-
Vorable to the ealse in Mild) he
fought. They nominate soldiers .for
ofilce„and place t limn upon the-plat
ihrmlite X V th A mend tp ent,which
%Aliv ophosef.L',Wthem until' in - the
late State Convention of that party,
at Harrisburg, it was deemed inex
pedient to go into a campaign in Op
position to that amendment. The
"new departure" wasadopted for th e
purpose of hoodwinking Itcpuhlic
ans. Democrats at heart areas strong
ly opposed to equal tights—to negro
suffrage—as ever they were. Once
give them power, and it will be
found they will use it for the purpn , e
of replacing—and annulling these
eoustitutional gukanteeg.
Tin: thieving Tammany ring in
New York City, are Just now taking
each other by the throats, and Insist
ing that some Jonah of tpeir .num
ber must be .heaved overboard.
Mayor Hall claims that Connelly is
the man, while the latter swears that
Hall should gointo the deep without
the benefit of clergy. In this instance
the old adage will likely prove true,
viz: that ."when rogues fall-out hon
est men may get their due."
In our own State w,e will not wan -
.der much if a similar condition of
things developed within a short time.
Mr. Evans, the great embezzler, is
stoutly abused Just now by men with
newspapers under their, control,
whose characters for hon es ty will
not bear investigation; and if :some
of these eventually turn up as Evans'
accomplices in this stimenduous
swindle, we shall hardly find our
latter, end as a result of the informa
tion.
De RING our gigantic struggle witll
rebellion not a single foreign poten
tate, principality or power, volun
teeretia.ssistance to the Southern Con
federacy in their treason. It was left
for the Demecratic party of the Nor
thern States to' give them aid and
comfort in their struggle for the dis
ruption and overthrow Of thii great
Republic. That party has. now the
unblushing effrontery to solicit Be
publidm votes for calm under the
goyernment they aided an unsucce
futattempt to annihilate. Can a Jo:ye I
man be found so forgetful of his obli
gations and duties to his country and
his conscience as to yield to such so
licitation? By placing DeMocrats in
power they would indirectly aid-in
the destruction of all that has been
gained to by the issues con
sequent upon our late sanguinary i
internecine warthe equal rights of
all men. Let these things be remem
bered when Democrats ask Republi
cans to split their tickets.
A PARTY which can offer no in
demnity for its past T4cta of treason,

Her enterprises are not the coinage

possession of her body. Mr. Tilton
does not Inform us where Victoria's

`declaration of Mr. Tilton knocks this
idea to Pieces. If she 4hould be elect

be her but Demosthenes who would
be Chief 'Magistrate; and we protest
he is too far behind the age for a
Republican, President. What does
he know about steamboats, monitors,

a coward and a traitor—he sold his
'country to Philip of Macedon for a
'bribe: There is too much bribery
extant now, and it would never do
to place such a character in the
Presidential Chair. Theodore has
evidently disparaged the chaners of

these circumstances we shall be ex

Next week we shall give extracts
from this Biography of Mr. Tilton.•
THE whereabouts of State Agent
Evans seems to be unknown. A dis
patch from a liarrlsbarg 6fileer, who
went to New York with the warrant
and requisition for his arrest, states
that after considerable trouble at Al
i
! bony, Gov. Hoffman recognized the
requisition of Governor Geary, not
withstanding the protests fi led by the
I counsel of Evans. After the officer
had procured the neces . sary docu
ments from the Governor of New
York, he went in search of the fugi
tive, visiting all the places where
Evans had been in the habit of stay
' Mg, but, up to last accounts, nothing
could be heard of hini, and it was
generally suppeil that he d had left
Nev York.
TtieNational Democrat ie Com -
tee, with Mr. Randall Chairman,
have adopted a new course of politi
cal tactics. They first, in their offi
cial rapacity, circulate documents
tended to poison the public mind,
and when they fail in accomplishing
that object, Mr. Randall repudiates,
mid denounces them as Radical
tricks, forgeries, &c. This is a Tun
ning game, but one which recoils
upon the perpetrators with twofold
force when o n ce the cheat is exposed.
The results of the !ate elections have
cauSedlt feeling in the ranks of the
Democratic leaders akin to despera
tion, and they halt at neither fraud
nor falsehood to bolster up their wain

7b the Republicans eV' j'ennsylvcutia :
we tender yoU our hearty congrat
ulations over the glorious victories
reeently won by the Republicans of
California and Maine. Itfthe former
a state has been won, after four years
of Democratic misrule, by an over
whelming majority, and im. the latter
the firm hold of the Republican par
ty upon the people has been main
tained with a tenacity that ea nnot be
shaken.
The victory in California has been
gained after an arduous and exciting
struggle. It is the result of systet
atic trod:, and it demonstrates the
value of organization anti well di
rected political labor. The victory
in Maine has been won by keeping
up the admirable organizations per
' fected in past years, tinder the copra
tion of which the Republican vote
has been thoroughly brought out.
Both these victories show to us the
value and the necessity of thorough
organization. They outrlit to inqpirit
us with the most ardent zeal and
a determination to imitate the exam-
I ample so worthily set us. We appeal
to you, therefore, while rejoicing over
the victories, of your brethern else
where, to do as they have done, and
secure by your systematic labors a
victory as complete as their.
The stonily stream of Republican
success, which, setting in with Con
necticut, tuts since towed on without
interruption, must not be checked in
its onward flow by a Republicin do
feat in Pennsylvania. We owe it to
our friends in the States which have.
so gallantly upheld our banner to
stand by them, and keep Pennsylva
nia in the phalanx of Republic-an
States.
We eau do this only by cultivat
ing a spirit of union- and harmony,
keeping up our local organizations ac
tively, and working steadily and
with a will to bring out every lie
publican vote. Everything depends
upon organization and work.
Our intelligence front all parts of
the State is cheering and eneountg ,
ing. All thafiS wanted now is a lit
-tie close attention to the details of lo
cal organimti on. No political vieto
ry was ever won witheut attention
to these detnib?; and we rely upon
your spirit, energy, and zeal to carry
them Out syteniatically and render
them effective.
Let the. Repuhlieany Of the Static be
true to themselves and to their cause,
stand firmly by their State nominees
and local tickets, and put their ward
and township eommittees into vigi
lant net i vity, :aid we shall be able to
send hack to Maine and California,
tual their-4a ter Republican States a
response as cheerful and gladdening
as their messages of triumph have
been to us. RUSSELL ER RETT:

A Little Too Thin.
By far the weakest weapon of the
Democracy in the coining contest is
their morbid and maudlin appear in
behalf of labor. The leaders appear
to treat the aumble as foolsomd deal
out their sympathy for the toiling
classes with unmeasured hands. Par
ticularly is this the fact in the min
ing counties. The workingmen are
appealed to 'with great earnestness,
and their support is vehemently de
manded as a matter. of right. ,Now,
it is but fair to be square in politic
as in all things else; and it is quite
necessary, if-this labor question is
to enter the Quivass, that the truth
be told. So far us the mining regions
are concerned the Democracy are not
in harmony with the laboring classei.
Whether right or wrong, the latter
demanded advanced wages. This
Was refused. By whom? By the
corporations who control labor. Who
are they? The Reading railroad, with
a Democratic President; the; Lehigh'
Valley railroad, with a Democratic'
President; the Delaware, i.ackawan-'
an and Susquehanna railroad, with a
Democratic President, and others of
the same ilk. So that, so far as the
matter of '• labor's rights" are con
teened, the. Democracy had better
hold their whist. -
But, where is the use of dragging'
the question in at all? There is noth

In view of the situation, apromi

says :
"Democrats who desire to be in
strumental in bringing about reforms
Must now see the folly of any longer
expecting Any success , for the pemo
eratic party. Let them, therefore,
leave Pendleton, and Hendricks, and
Stevens,and Thurman toquarrel over
the manner in which slavery was
abolished and the Fifteenth Amend
ment adopted, and, joining the Re
publican party in their several dis
tricts, elect a Congress that will take
nn intelligent view of national affairs,
and have the ability to institute and
execute the reforms absolutely de
manded by t he . imperiled condition
of the country. -

THE HARPER MURDER IN
KENTUCKY.
Particulars of the Butchery.
From the lAAball le JOUMaI. 9th.]
The brother `and sister of old Mr.
, John Harper, the owner of Lon'grel
low, were urtiered in their beds,
• at their residence, in Woodford coun
. just before daylight Monday
qharning. Who did the terrible
is riot known. Mr. John liar
.peflinti his old bachelor brother and
Maiden sister were the only white
persnris who lived on the plow. They
were Horn there, and had lived there
together until the youngest was over
70 years of age. It was an *Meuse
estate—one of the largest—and the
owners the most wealthy farmers in
Kentucky. It is about three miles
from Midway, and V; miles from
Lexington. adjoins the great Alex
ander stock-farm, and is In the heart
of the Blue Grass itegiou. Mr. John
Harper was not at home on the fatal
night. He bad gone to the Lexing
ton races, at which the famous Long
fellow and several other of his horses
were to run. Mr. Jacob Harker and
Miss Betsy Harper were the only
ones at hotne,-except about 20 or 30
negroas, who are employed upon the
plantation.
JUdging from appearances, the
bloody work must have been corn

room adjoining that of his sister;
upon the first floor. About 5) o'clock
the, housekeeper, a negro woman,
went into the room of Miss Betsy,
hut noticed nothing wrong,. She re
members of hearing the old lady
groan once or twice; ,but as she was
very feeble, and had been almost bed
ridden for a long time, tio particular
attention WIL., paid to IL A half lion?
after this Mr. Harper's man :servant
went in to wake him. He first tilled.
and then took hold of the old man's
shoulder, but still noticed nothing ex
cept he was unusually hard to wake.
liv then left the room. The first dis
covery was made by the woman ser
vant who, having gone to wake Miss
Ilet-y, notived blood upon the bed
clothes, and, upon looking closer,
found that the old lady's head and
face wen , horrihly gashed, and that
she was lying in a pool of blood.
The bed aa.literally besmeared with
g 4 tic ‘‘ moan ran out scream
ing. and the alarm W 214 given. Mr.
llorper was tumid with-his head al
oaxst beaten to a jelly, and dead. lie
was cold and stark and stiff. Miss
Betsy wits unconscious, but still liv
ing. She was nut dead at noon yes
terday.
‘Vhen John Harper arrived home,
tile :shoe!: almost overcame him.
The whole neighborhood had assem
bled and crowded the rooms and the
halls in mute horror. The negroes
stood around the doors weeping, and
the old house-servant, the nurse of
Miss Betsy, knelt at the bedside of
her old mistress, crying as if her
heart would break. till John cried
like a child. It was a terrible mo
ment, and many who had, feared the
consequences ol his arrival, now be- . .
Herod that he would not survive the
shock. No time was to he lost, how
ever, and an investigation WllBlllllllO
- undertaken. The coroner
arrived about 11 o'clock .and proceed
ed to hold am ingtieSt. A number of
ni..groes upon the place wereexunain
ed, and, thougill the evidence h a d not
all been heard at last accounts, ther:.
WaN enough to:fasten the guilt upon
several of the ci.lorett emploYes It

seeins that, on Saturday last, mr.Ja
cob Harper Wein cliiwn to Frankfort;
and is thought, drew MO 0r4.000
out of hank. epon• s his return to
Mid way, lie offered to bet large su ms
on the Longfellow race, and exhibit
ed mofiey, and this came to the
no iedge of the assassins. It. was
not the habit if-the family to keep
:looney about the house Money was
undoubtedly the object of 'the mur
der, but whetlu the murderers ob
tained any or not is not known. A
pocktt-book that Mr. Harper gener
ally carried was missing from his
body, though nothing else about the
house was disturbed.
