The Thayer and Greenbank Contest-
ed Election Case.
The coffee-pot frauds of W. A.Wal
lace 8.; Co. will not soon be forgotten
by the people of Pennsylvania, nor will
the people ever forget the outrageous
frauds committed by the Democratic
party in Philadelphia at the last Octo
ber election. The Republican Press
of Philadelphia openly and fearlessly
charged home these frauds upon the
Democratic party, and which were most
emphatically denied by the Democrat
ic organs every. where. But the THAY
ER and GREENBANK contested election
case settles the question. There is no
longer -any room for the Democracy
to deny the charges of outrageous
frauds in the Philadelphia election.—
Every investigation made brings to
light a state of facts both scandalous
and disgraceful. Judges THAYEIIB and
GREENBANK were the opposing candi
dates for a 'seat upon the bench of the
District .Court of Philadelphia. The
charge of fraud was raised and the
election contested.
The Committee of the Legislature,
to whom was submitted the settlement
of the case, have been enabled to come
to a conclusion by a simple count of
the - ballots of the Siiteentli Division of
Twentieth Ward. How many.of these
were fraudulent will never be known,
as the investigation need not be press
. ed any further. The return of the
• election officers . represented the vote
;for THAYER to be 244, and that for
GREENBANK 310, making the majori
ty for latter 66.
The true counting of the ballots by
the committee shows the number of
votes cast for THAYER to have .been
283, and the number for G-REENBANK
270, making THAYER'S true majority
13. The information from the com
mittee is to the effect that this correct
ion, together with mistakes previously
corrected and admitted by GREEN',
• BANK'S counsel, elects THAYER. We
do not Wonder that the Republicans of
Philadelphia are clamerousfor the pas
sage of a'law which will enable them
. to prevent a repetition of these wicked
frauds committed by perjured Demo
crats. The city is clearly Republican,
on a fair election, as the result of the
investigations, already made, show.—
But if fraudulent voters and repeaters
are allowed to take possession of the
polls, and when this.fails to elect their
candidates, to misrepresent the returns
so as to show a majority, there had far
better be no election held. .
Will the Democratic Watchman have
the courage and honesty to condenin
the conduct of its party in Philadel
phia? Will it have sufficient honesty
to even state that GREENBANK Was
ousted? If it does, we will give it
credit with a little of what we never
believed it possessed--political hon
esty.
The Majority in . Centre County.
Taking the native born vote in this
county, the Republican party has . a
handsome majority. But we have
from five to six hundred foreign, born
adopted fellow citizens—the majority
of these natives of Ireland. Three
fourths of all these adopted citizens
have heretofore voted with the Demo
cratic party, and thus gave it the con
trol of all the offices in the county.—
It:cannot be the fear of Snow-noth
ingism that causes these men of for
eign birth . to . vote the Democratic
ticket. The best evidence we have for
this assertion is the fact that these
same men voted last fall for FRANK P.
BLAIR and M. L. MACKEY, who were
aniong the first knownothings in the
country. Why, then, do our adopted
fellow citizens act and vote with the
sham Democracy? We appeal to every
intelligent Irishman, and ask him
what'the - Democratic party has ever
-done for him. Has it ever nominated
you or any of your countrymen in this
county ; where it owes its strength to
your votes, to any position of honor
or 'profit? Has it ever given you any
thing that you did not have to pay for?
Did all the blarney of these Democrat
ic politicians ever benefit you one dol
lar? Did it ever put clothes upon
your backs, money in your pockets, or
shoes upon the feet of your dear little
children? No; it has done no such
thing; and you know it just as well as
wo. On the contrary, they have
sought to make pack horses of you
--7 hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter—mere cats paws, with which they
have drawn - the political chestnut out
of the fire, and fattened on the good,
"fat takes."
'They Awe -itnyocated,- -and the
Wcitckiran mow advocates,- - free trade,
A: policy which must not only impover
jah you, but bring ruin and disaster
,upon the laboring and manufacturing
;interests of our" whole countrY," while
at thc,sa,tue dine it enriches - England
and enables her to trample with im
punity upon suffering Ireland. Are
these not facts? There is no use in
getting mad about it! It is all true,
and we dare and ,defy the, Wateh,man,
or "any other man,"to contradict the
facts as here set forth. We will refer
to this subject again.
--A letter from Mexico city states
that fears were entertained:among the
commercial community that the gov
,lrnment would be compelled to resort
-:o a forced loan, as three million dol
:Ars in specie were just about ,to leave
the country. It was believed that
, 11t1 half of it
. was being exported to
void amt contingency,
National Woman's Suffrage Conven
tion.
The address of the National Wo
man's Suffrage Convention was pre
sented recently to the Senate, and re
ferred-to the District of Columbia Com
mittee. The women have rights. Of
course they have. We have no object,
ions to them holding conventions and
demanding those rights. Women.vot
ing would certainly be something new
under the sun; and there would, it
seems to us, be something very pleas
ant in a man and his better-half going
up to the election window together to
deposit their votes; but suppose they
would differ in polities; what then?—
Again would they not be likely to copy
after the sterner sex, and get into the
habit of keeping late hours, frequent
ing the grog-shoos under the pretext
of securing a vote, fighting, hair-pu:-
ling, blacking each other's eyes, pug
ing, scratching, biting, raising Cain
generally, and get locked up for their
rowdyism? How would it sound to
hear on the street—Woman fight at
01r, —'s Saloon. Mrs. Seymourite
in jail for drunkenness, quarrelling and
disorderly conduct generally. Fine $lO
and costs, and the dear husband Com
pelled to fork over the scrip ! Mrs.
Anna Dickinson,perhaps, don't believe
it would be so bad as this; but . does
she know any more - about it than we
do ? We hope Miss. Anna will give us
her views. We must cease moralizing
on this subject, however, and let our
male readers know what the members
of the Woman's Suffrage Convention
in the address referred to; think of
mankind generally. The address em-.
braces forty pages printed and written
matter. We make a few extracts:
EDITORS
We object to manhood suffrage or a
man's government, because the male
elementis a destructive force—stern,
selfish, aggrandizing; loving war-vio
lence, conquest, acquisition; breeding
in the material and moral world• alike,
discOrd, disorder, disease and death.
See what a record of blood and cruelty
the pages of history reveal. Through
what slavery; slaughter, and sacrifices;
through what inquisitions and impris
onments, pains.and prosecutions,black
codes and gloomy creeds the soul of.
humanity has struggled for the centu
ries, while mercy has veiled
. her face,
and all hearts have been dead alike to
love and 'hope. The male element has
held high carnival thus far; it has fair
ly run riot from the beginning, over
powering • the -feminine everywhere,
crushing out all the diviner elements
in human nature, until we know but
little of true manhood and womanhood;
of the latter comparatively nothing,for
it has scarce been recognized as an ele
ment of power until within the last
century. Tie hard; iron rule we feel
alike in the Church, the State and the
home. No one need wonder at the dis
organization of society, at the frag
mentary condition of everything, when
we remember that man, who represents
but half a complete being, with half an
idea on every subject, has undertaken
the absolute control of all sublunary
matters. * * * * Think
what the condition of the women of
this country will be when all the lower
orders of foreigners now invading our
shores—Dutch; ' Irish, Chinese and
Africans, legislate for_ them and their
daughters. 'Think of Patrick and Sam
bo, and -Hans and Yang Tung, who do
not know the difference between a
monarchy and a republic; who cannot
read the Declaration of Independence
or Webster's spelling book, making
laws for Lucretia Mott, Ernestine L.
Rose, Susan B. Anthony, or Anna E.
Dickinson.
We object to the proposed amend
ment of manhood suffrage, because it
ig an open, deliberate insult to the wise
and thlizightful women• of the nation to
set them asii. 4 .9 in this way without no
tice or apology, Sr.e.
The Elections on Friday
Last week we urged upon our Re
publican friends the importance of
nominating good men for the respec
tive offices ; after which, to make one
strong pull and a pull altogether, to
elect them.',We sincerelyhope, friends,
dolt you will act upon our suggestion
and do your whole duty. No one can
estimate the importance to a party of
thorough organization, and in the
spring elections, is the time to make ,
this influence felt, For eight years
the Democrats have had full control
of all the county offices. They have
had their own way in the manage
ment of the finances of the county.
What is the result? Simply this.
Your county taxes under Republican
rule in thii county; were 21 mills to
the, dollar. Now, under Democratic
misrule and extravagance your county
taxes amount" to 71 mills to the dol
lar. Democracy, as you see, has been
a very expensive luxury in this coun
ty. You want a change. We know
you do. Every honest man in the
county does. How can this be brought
about? By commencing the work
now. By every man doing his whole
duty and turning out to the election
on Friday next. This will pave the
way for a glorious victory next Octo
ber—a- total rant of sham Democracy,
horse, foot and dragoon, Court House
clique and all.
WiscoNsix has a Legislature of
_carpet-baggers. Of the Senate, con
taining thirty-three members in all,
not one was born in the State. Six
teen went from New York, three
from Pennsylvania, seven from the
New England States, three were born
in Europe, and the rest went to Wis
consin from New Jersey', Georgia,
Ohio and Washington. The House of
Representatives has one hundred
members. Of these thirty-two are
natives of New York, twenty of New
England, twenty- six' of Europe, three
of Canada, eight of Ohio, and six of
Pennsylvania; Maryland, Kentucky
and Indiana gave birth to one each,
and Wisconsin to two.

_ WASIIII!IGTON, Feb. 13.
Messrs Morton, Wilson . and Pruyn,
the . committee appointed to notify
General Grant of his election, waited
upon him at his
_headquarters this
-morning at half-past ten. •
Senator Morton made a formal an
nouncement in an appropriate and
complimentary speech, alluding to the
qualities which had deterinined the
country in its choice, and the expecta-:
tions that were entertained of the man
ner in which the trust would- be dis
charged.
General Grant, after replying formal
ly to the compliments conveyed, and
saying he would try faithfully and hon
estly to discharge the duties of his po.:
sition, and there was one subject to
which he desired to allude :to at this
time, He should endeavor to select
for his assistants in the administration
of the Government capable, honest and
patriotic men, and in this he hoped to
have the concurrence of the Senate
that if he did not succeed in
. getting
competent men on the first trial he
should remove them and select others.
That he should have no more hesitancy
in changin g his appointees than
those of his predecessors in office. He
had from the first deemed it improper
to give any indication who would re
ceive cabinet appointments until after
he had received official notice of his
own election. He had not yet advised
anybody whom he had selected for
these places. He had not even con
versed with any of the persons . them
selves..
From the various communications he
had received, and from what he had
heard, he - was convinced that some of
the persons he should choose would be
opposed by combinations of influential
men in the party which had supported
him, not.because they were unfit and
personally objectionable, but because
these parties desired the appointment
of their own friends.
Ile must mainly he governed by his
own - ideas Of 'the fitness of men for
work they would have to have perform
ed, and that he had finally concluded
not to give any indication of his pur
poses till he sent his nominations to
the Senate, or if he did give the per
sons selected previous notice, it would
only be a day or two before their names
were sent in.
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr.
Pruyn, the Democratic member of the
committee, stepped forward and said
that although he and his party had op
posed the General's election, he could
depend upon their support in carrying
out the policy he had just announced.
This sally produced a general burst
of laughter from the staff and specta
tors gathered around, in which Gener
al Grant joined heartily, and the con
gratulatoryconcersation and handshak
ing then became general:
THE BUTLER RESOLUTION.
WASAINOTON, Feb. 12.—Mr. But
ler's resolution censuring President
Wade for his decision in joint conven
tion, &c., was laid on the table to-day,
on motion of Mr. _Logan, who closed
the debate, by a vote af 135 to 55.
TEE PRESIDENT ELECT
In a recent conversation between
General Grant and a prominent politi
cian the General spoke very frankly of
the efforts of certain of the Democrat
ic papers to produce a breach between
him and the Republican party, and ad
ded that any man who would under
take such a task, after Andrey John
son's attempt, would be a madman in
deed. The General seems to under
stand the wllole drift of the opposition,
and is evidently resolved to co-operate
with the great party whicfL elected him.
There is every indication that the
President elect will not allow himself
to be associated in any way with Ad
drew Johnson during the inauguration
ceremonies.
The city is becoming more crowded
every day. Many persons are on the
ground, intending to go south for the
purpose of investment, immediately
after the inauguration.
GENERAL SHERMAN.
The friends of General Sherman have
purchased the residence now occupied
by Gen. Grant, on I street, near New
Jersey avenue, for sixty-five thousand
dollars, and intend presenting it to him
directly after he becomes General-in
chief in place of the President elect.
TAE ASSASSINATION OF EX-SENA
TOR. MCCONNELL, OF ILLINOIS.- The
assassination of Ex-Senator Murray
McConnell, of Illinois, has created an
extraordinary excitement throughout
that State. Gen. McConnell was one
of the oldest citizens of Central Illi
nois, and bad, perhaps, taken a more
active part in its political history than
any other living man. He was a man
of decided ability, ready wit and con
siderable scientific and literary attain
ments. He was a successful lawyer
having been the associate of Baker,
Lincoln, Lamberton, Douglas and
others of like character. He was a
participant in the Black Hawk war,
and shortly after was elected Rep
resentative in the Legislature. Fzom
1864 to 1868 he was a member of the
Senate of Illinois. Under Buchanan
he held the office of First Auditor, of
the Treasury.,
On the morning of his assassination
he breakfasted with his faiiily about
eight o'clock. At half-past eight be
was seen in his room alone, reading.
Fifteen minutes later he was found
cold and lifeless, with five deep gashes
in his head. It is thought the wounds
were made by a slung-shot or hammer.
No one was seen to enter the premises,
and thus far no clue has been obtained
of the murderer. Mr, 13fIcConnell's
residence was located in one of the
most densely populated parts of the
ay er.inv i 17,2

_ [Communi6ayd.]
~ IVIESsas. EDITORS :—I noticed, sonme
time ago, a short article in relation to
the County Superintendency, publish
ed in the Bellefonte National; and be
ing a citizen of the County, and thus
far. interested-in the educational inter
'ests of the same, I am also interested,
to the same extent, in the question of
the Superintendency, and therefore
seek your columns to express my-views
in relation thereto. • -
.. •
The. question as to the necessity or
propriety of the County Superintend
ency has been much mooted, and • I
will not attempt to discuss it here, be
lieving it to be a very essential part of
the school system, if properly filled,
and the duty well and promptly dis
charged. It becomes us, then, as a
matter of duty,. toseleet the most capa
ble and fit man for this responsible po
sition, and not by gross indifference
and neglect, permit some incompetent
and unworthy aspirant to be foisted
upon us, and thus, instead of the
schools of the County being advanced
thereby, they would be retarded.—
' Every one should feel sufficiently in
terested in the question of education
to seek its advancement by every fair
means; because we have,walking hand
in-hand with it, high-toned civiliza
tion and christianity; while encoitrage
ment to ignorance brings with it crime I
and pauperism, .and their concomitant
evils. The time for' the-election of
County' Superintendent is not very far
distant—the first Monday in May, next;
so that those upon whom the respon
sibility of electing rests, (Directors,)
should put themselves upon inquiry in
regard to the matter. Consider the du
ties of a Superintendent, and.be pre
pared to select the man who will best
discharge them, to the - building up of
the schools.. I believe. : the only two
names before the public, in connection
with the office, are those of the pres
ent incumbant, Mr. Magee, and Prof.
D H. Hastings, of BellefOnte. As.re
gards the present incumbant, either as
a gentleman, or as to his qualifications,
I shall say nothing, - but think the ques
tion of a change should at least be taken
into consideration by those who elect.
I have the pleasure of the acquain
tance of Prof. Hastings, and think him
eminently qualified for the position, in
every particular. He has been identi
fied with the common school interests in
this and adjoining Counties for many
years. His experience as a teacher
has been large and successful. I am
very creditably informed that his Su
perintendency of the schools of Belle
fonte for the two last years, has been
attended with success, and rendered
more universal satisfaction - than any of
his predecessors for many years, and
therefore think his claims are entitled
to a favorable consideration. Hoping
that our Directors may become suffi
ciently interested in this question to
consider the various merits of the can
didates, and elect in accordance there
with, that due consideratiOn will be
given to our preference.
We are respectfully yours,

men are created equal, endowed with
certain inalienable rights, life, liberty
and the persuit of happiness," we, too,
in our young, but loyal State,
_are
working in the right, as God gives us
light. We are just cutting-loose. froth
the old fogyisms of the • South, and
we can say truthfully, what none other
of the southern States can say, that all
men are protected in their rights. Our
State is hilly; but on every hill side

as rich in soil, as those of any other
State. Rich, not only in mineral wealth,
(it being the heart of the great coal
formation of the United7States, ) but in
our vast and undeveloped .forests, our
timber is immense, both in size and
quality, and our lands are offered for
sale far below their value, and it is be,-
cause our lnog-buried treasures are not

Of these immense results, the importance

enduring Monument at our struggle and our
triumph. New arts, now industries, stew de

At length, the smoke rises from the hard

Grant and Colfax gives susurance that the
storm is over—that the Bow of Promise arch

achieved; but the ship of State has ridden
out the tempest and has her haven full in
view. The seven States reconstructed under
the recent acts of Congress,and will be fol
lowed by the three that have hitherto stood
aloof; the right of the Freedmen will be up.
held and respected, and Impartial Suffrage
throughout the land will Boon plant them on
foundations that cannot be shaken.
The Tribune will contend in the future, as
in the past, for Universal Amnesty as well
as for Impartial Suffrage. It has no faith
in vengeance, W a goscription, in confisca
tion, not in the 'shedding of blood otherwise
thiii - in actual and necessary 'war. " There
is a time for War and a time for. Peace;" and
the latter follows swiftly en the heels of the
former. Whenever those who' fought against
thilfnion shall have in good faith given up
the contest, they are no longer our foes but
our countrymen.
In the joyful trust that Grant's election
has given the death-blow to Ku-Klux Klaus,
and all manner of outrages, on Unionists
and Freedmen as such, and that Impartial
Suffrage will no longer be seriously resisted,
we hope to see the next four years signal
ized by an_uuprecedented expansion of the
National Industry and a consequent increase
of the National wealth. We hope to see new
Cabins dot the prairie, new clearings che
quer the forest, new mills, factories, furnac
es, erected, North, South, East and West,
until our annual product shall be Hundreds
of Millions greater than at present, while
Mines of Iron and of Coal, of Gold, Silver,
Copper, &c., shall be opened aid, worked,
with an energy and to an extent that defies
precedent. Believing that the systematic,
efficient. Protection of Home Industry is the
corner-stone of a•wise, benignant National
Policy,itud that it is ennential to the rapid de
velopment of our latent resources, the pros
perity of our country, the maintenance of
her Credit, and the honest payment of her
Debt, we shall give it oar most earnest and
active support.
TEE DAILY TRIBUNE

summaries of news from all quarters of the
globe, correspondence from all the principal
centers of intelligence at home and abroad,

GREELEY'S HISTORY OF TILE WAR.
The Tribune has often been applied to for
copies of Greeley's history of the late
Civil War, entitled The American Conflict.
Many evidently presume that it is published
by us so thatwe can give copies at plea--
tme. In several cases Union soldiers have
written 'us saying that they were unable to
pay its full pric-, but vrerenevertheless anx
ious to possess the work, and asking us to
tell themby whattucans they may obtainit.
In deference to these representions the
publishers of The Tribuile have made an'ar
rangement with Messrs..a..D. Case ic Co.,
publishers of The American Conflict, where
by they are enabled to offer that work to
such persons as may see fit to obtain mail
subscriptions for The Tribune as follows,:
One copy of the History, in two voltimes,
will be sent to each of the following clubs:
The money for each club to be sent at one
time, and all papers for the same club to be

The American Conflict is a History of the
late Civil War, its causes and incidents, in
two large and well printed octavos of 64S
and 732 pages respectively, and is sold for
$lO. It is abundantly and admirably illus
trated with plans of battles and seiges, por
traits _of Presidents, Generals, Governors,
ic., who were prominent in the struggle,and
with a very large Map of the seat of war. It
has received from all quarters the highest
commendations for accuracy of statement
and fullness of detail. It is substantially
boand, and must be deemed a valuable ad
dition to any library. These volumes she'd
be placed in every School Diistrict library

A MERICAN BUTTON-BOLE
OVER SEAMING AND SEWING MA-
CHINE COMBINED
MEDAL AWARDED AT THE PLRIS EX
POSITION, 1867
In directing attention to the celebrated
COMBINATION BUTTON HOLE AND
SEWING MACHINE, we feel fully warran
ted in claiming for it unquestionable superi
ority over all others as a Family Machine.—
The Simplicity, Ease and Certainty with
which it operates, as well as the uniform ex
cellence of its work, certainly place it far in
advance of any other similar inrention of the
age.
It is also the dieripest,intrinsically, as well
as the best, since it is really two machines
combined in one, (by r simple and beautiful
mechanical arrangement never before RC
corop:lished by human ingenuity.) making
either the Lock. Stitch or Button Bole Stitch,
as occasion may require. It is, at the same
time, simple in construction, comparatively
noiseless, easily understool f and, in a word,
it combines with those advantages exclusive
ly its own the moat desirable qualities of all
others, for it not only does every variety
of sewing in a SUPERIOR MANNER, but
in addition OVERSEASIS splendi•lly an d
makes beautiful Buvran and EYELET Hetes
in all fabrics. This is far beyond the ca
pacity of any other machine.
The SPLENDID MECHANISM of this Machine,
and the supa•rior skill worktnnn:hip and ma.
terials employed in its construction, are a
guarantee of accuracy, strength and dura
bility and enable : the company and its agents
to W i 'arrant Every Machine they sell to give
en tiro satisfaction:
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ON THE All-
CHINE GRATUITOUSLY
Lessons may be taken if desired with a
view to test the Machine, or to become bet
ter acquainted with it before deciding to our
" Chase. Samples of work will be furnish
