§ebforb Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FKIDAT, OCT. It. IS#7. AFTER THE ELECTION. We often wonder what people find in stu pid election returns that makes them, so ju bilant. Some fellow will announce that he baa just received a telegram from Mr. Click, which states that Mr. Flop has a majority of two in Hardscrabble, which is a gain of one. Then off go the hats and open go ma ny mouths, and they cheer until they are hoarse. For what? Couldn't anybody else run as many votes and more, if lie had the popularity? Certainly. Then what is the use of so much clamor ? We opine it is nothing but stupidity,—downright stupidi ty 1 Don't say election returns to as for the next nine months! We were obliged to make short work of a boy, with several fol lows at his heels who thought they would enjoy some rare sport, who came into our sanetum to inform us that one Henry \N . Williams was elected —well, we don t re member to what, but we mean to eat the next fellow bodily, who comes to tell us any stupid returns. Thai's so! Wby does everybody want to tell us the returns? "Pid you hear the returns from Woodber ry ?" says one. He is hardly gone when up comes another, grinning at us, with, "Did you see the returns from Woodberrv ? It is enough to make a saint swear to be thus annoyed, and we have deliberately made up our mind not to etand it. Suppose Shars wood is elected, —it may be that he is, and it may be that be is not, we don't know, — but we can't see why we should be grinned at, laughed at and twitted about it. We don't care if he is,—it is not our fault; we had nothing to do with it, and don't mean to take any of the blame either. So keep away until we cool off. EXTRAORDINARY COINCIDEN CES. We are not at all familiar with the doc trine of chances, but from recent occurren ces within our experience, Prof. Pierce's calculation in the late Boston will case, in which he, after a careful calculation, con cluded that the chances of an exact coinci dence in the signatures of Miss Howland would be about one in two thousand six hundred and sixty-six millions of millions of times, sadly needs a revision. On the 30th of August last we wrote two editorial arti cles, entitled respectively, "Who are the Friends of the South," and "Removal of SheridaD," and on the Oth of September we wrote another entitled "Impoachmcnt.' On the Oth, 13th and 20th of September, respectively, the ttonublican," Pekin, 111., contained three editorial leaders, one each week,exact counterparts, verbatim, et literatim, et punctuatim, with tho excep tion of the caption of one, of ours. Now that these were not taken from our paper we are quite sure, for they are not credited to us or any one else. On the 27th of Sep tember we noticed a somewhat similar oc currence, having on that day written an ar ticle entitled "300,000 Lives—3,ooo,ooo,ooo of Treasure" —precisely the same caption and the same words, contained in the first part of our article, appeared a few days later in an editorial article in the "Harris burg Telegraph." Now these are but a few instances that occur to us out of a great number that we have noticed from time to lime. We kuuw tliey were not Copied from us for they were not credited. We are, therefore, fully convinced of the error of Prof. Pierce's calculation, and specially re quest of him that he revise his work and see if he has not made an egregious blunder somewhere. If any of our cotemporaries deem our charge against the accuracy of Prof. Pierce's mathematical calculation unwarrantable, wc would call the "Montour American," "Mer cer dispateh," "Shippcnsburg News" and "Lawrence Journal" to corroborate our charge by witnessing to recent similar coin cidences. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. The enlightenment of the Democracy on the subject of tho Constitution is wonderful. Even tho most ignorant men, who can with difficulty—by partial .attention manage to spell out plain printing-are thoroughly posted on the' subject of Constitutional Law. Wo met a Democrat—so called—a few days sinec, who affirmed that by the Constitution it is expressly provided that Congress shall not cinit bills of credit, or make anything cbe than gold and silver a legal tender. He said he had a copy of th? Constitution and could show the clause, and went off to find it. We left about that time in order, if perchance he did find tho work, he might have time to read it. And we have heard several of these enlightened expounders of the Constitution affirm that they had often read it and heard it read on tho Fourth of July. If this olaim of the Democrats to bo the peculiar expounders of the Constitution would result in their reading the document and the proceedings of the convention that framed it, and the decisions of the court up on it, the manifestations of their conceited ignorance might be the more patiently borne. At present, however, those who are the most blatant about the Constitution are those who have read it the least arid un derstand the least about it. ON last Wednesday the Cops organized themselves into a mob, a la Union men dur ing the war, and called upon several Cop landlords in the town end gave them fifteen minutes to hang out the stars and stripes; of oourse the flags were swung out in less than no time. At the Mcngel house the big flag that has floated across the street on every important occasion since the war. with An drew Johnson in largo characters, was flung to the breeze, and imagine our surprise when we noticed that the huge capitals— ANDREW JOHNSON—WERE takenloff. The election is over and they bid good-bye to Andrew Johnson! This is very ungrateful and very ominous! As long as Andy could serve them they flattered him, now they are fbrsaking him in a manner that is anything but flattering. Straws show which way the wind blows. SAI.T RIVER TICKETS are already in circu lation. We don't exactly know who is go ing to use them, but if we have to go, we in tend to take Mr. Schell's railroad via Wil liam Lashley's store in Southampton town ship. The scenery along this route is sec ond to none other in the country, and it has the advantage of being a Bedford county in stitution. Hereaftitf an excursion to South ampton. via the Sehell railroad, will super cede the trip to the salt river country. THE result in the State is very close. Why this is the case it is needless for us to say. Almost every reader of the INQUIRER knows that the apathy throughout the country was, in a great measure, the cause. In this county several townships did not do their duty and the result is that there is an increased Copperhead majority. We expect to have something to say in regard to this matter in the future. THE MORNING POST is the title of a very neat and spirited penny paper published in Philadelphia. The first issue appeared on Monday morning. It is edited by a farmer employee of the New York Tribune. All its cotemporaries predict for it a brilliant future. RICHARDS and WELLER are elected by handsome majorities. The people are de termined not to have railroads forced upon them. Vale Schell! UP to the time of going to press the Re publican State Centrr 1 Committee still claim the State, and our opinion is that Mr. Wil liams is elected by a small majority. STATE UTI ItNS GOVERNOR, SUP.

Storks, wild ducks and other birds, are reported to be passing southwards over France and Belgium in large numbers. Similar signs of a severe winter have from time lo time, been noted in our own coun try, and wo are inclined to attach more im portance to them than weather prophesies usually deserve. Meteorologists say a wet summer signifies a dry winter, and dry win ters are always proverbially cold. House keepers should make a note of this infer ence, which we think wili prove correct. — Evening Star.

Washburne, in his speech at Galena, Illinois, on Saturday, thus defined Grant's political opinions, and from his intimacy with the General, it is probable he spoke by authority. He said General Grant was among the first to com prehend the results that would grow out of the rebellion, and the country will not forget that as early as 1803 he wrote a letter saying that anxious as he was for peace, he did not wish to see it established until slavery Was wiped out. In 1864 he was profoundly anxious for the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, and no man more fully comprehended the great fact that upon his re-election hinged the success of our cause aud the suppression of the rebellion. He so far departed from bis usual course iu such matters as to write and permit the publication of a letter in which he briefly and emphatically summed up the whole question. The letter was published by hundreds of thousands by the Republican Congressional Committee, and exerted great influence in tho country. He was openly and strong for both the constitu tional amendments, and he hailed the Re construction act of the Thirty-ninth Con gress as the solution of our difficulties, and he entered upon the discharge of bis duties under that act with zeal, vigilance, and fidelity. Sympathizing with Congress in its action, and appreciating the importance of its being in session, he urged and advised such action as would secure an extra sesion, if necessary. When that session came he expressed the most serious fears of the effect of a long adjournment, and with a far reach ing sagacity anticipating the precise state of things that has occurred, he used all his in fluence with Senators to have them adopt the House provision of the amended bill re quiring the assent of the Senate to the re moval of the district commanders. Favor ing the Reconstruction acts, no efforts of hi* has been wanting to secure their enforce ment in the letter and spirit, to the cml that the Union might be speedily and fully re stored. He believed there is no protection or safety to the colored people ana the loyal white people in the robel States except through impartial suffrage. The Recon struction acts having recognized the entire equality of all American citizens in the States lately in rebellion, he believes that consistency, as well as impartial justice, de mands that there should be no discrimina tion against any class of persons in any of the States. His sympathies, his convictions and his hopes are now, as they always have been, with the great patriotic and loyal peo ple that carried the country through the war. He is in favor of upholding the houor and credit of the national government, and holds that all our obligations must be dis charged in conformity to the terms on which they were contracted. lie thinks that there should be exercised by Congress and by de partments of the government a more rigid and searching economy in the expenditures of the public money, aud wherever he has had control he has struck oft. every useless expense and reformed every abuse. Gener al Grant occupies at the present tirne the position of Secretary of \\ ar ad interim in the Cabinet of Mr. Johnson. His action in accepting that position had been the subject of a great deal of comment, and excited the fears of many good and loyal men. It in voked the denunciation of enemies and brought forth the excuses of friends. He accepted that position, not, as has been al leged in obedience to the commands of a superior officer, but from the stern senso of duty to his country. Should he refuse, and permit that most important position to be filled by a Copper- | head and a Johnson man, who would hinder j reconstruction, who would (Wnnrnli//! the I army, who would sanction fraudulent and bogus claims of rebels, and bring reproach generally upon the public service.' Gen. j G rant did not, therefore, hesitate to accept the position e- I partment went into the hands of an enemy. ! But the General wants no other vindication j for his action than will be turni-hed by his record when it shall see the light, and by his official acts. He can offord to wait. In conclusion Mr. Wa-hburne said he was not speaking of Gen. Grant as a candidate for the Presidency, for he had no right to speak for him in that regard. Ho had spoken as he had because so many of his fellow citi zens had aaked him in relation to the posi tion the General occupied on questions of the most overwhelming public importance, and what were his views, sentimeuts. and convictions touching matters in which all good citizens felt so deep an interest. EUROPEAN NEWS. Conflict Between Insurgents and tlu Poind Troops—Proclamation of Garibaldi— Volunteers Invading the Papal T rritnry on all Sides — The Papal Troops Beaten. LONDON, Oct. 4 —Midnight.—The latest dispatches received from Italy, though con flicting, are highly important. A message hasjust been received from Florence an nouncing the clash of arms. The insurgent troops, holding a strong positiou near Bag narea, in Vitcrbo, wero attacked by the Papal forces. A short, sharp fight ensued, which resulted in the defeat of the attack ing party, who were obliged hastily to with draw. The loses in the engagement are not stated. The effect of this victory is very inspiriting to the Party of Action. A pub lic meeting of the friends of Garibaldi was held at Turin yesterday. Revolutionary speeches were made by many distinguished persons. Great crowds of people were present, and the enthusiasm was unbound ed. Meetings of a like character are in contemplation in other cities of Italy. Though a prisoner at Caprera, Gen. Gari baldi has issued a stirin.g address to his fol lowers, which is published to day all over Europe. Ho rerites "at length the griev ances of Italy, and a*ks his countrymen to redress them now. He appeals strongly to their patriotism, and urges all his friends to march forthwith to Rome. FLORENCE, Oct. 7—a. m.—The reports which are hourly received here from the South show that the revolutionary volun teers are invading the Roman Territory on all sides. Yesterday a detachment of troops was sent out from Rome to meet the inva ders in Frosinone, a Province lying south east ol the city. A fight took place be tween them and the Garibaldians near the Abriezze Frontier. The Papal troops were again defeated and compelled to fall back toward Rome. PARIS, Oct. 7.—A report is curreut that Prussia receives with favor the appeal of the Italian_ Government to the European Powers against the Treaty of September, and will support the demands of Italy in regard to Rome. PARIS, October 8. —The Italian Ambassa dor and the Marquis Moustier have met at Biarritz to consult with tho Emperor upon the Roman quostion, and it is understood that a plan of action has been decided. Italy is to take possession of the Roman in Rome, keeping the temporal power till his neath, when it is to cease forever. SHERIDAN. Hi* Utcept'on in Sonton — 1 ' l.itth I'hil Mikes a Sjici'clt— Grand Ovation. BOSTON, October 7.— Major General Sheridan's reception to day was a magaifi cent affair. He reached here about eleven o'clock. The day was observed as a holi day; all of the schools, private and public, and places of business were closed. 'Uie re ception was one of the finest ever given in this city. Fully six thousand soldiers and numerous private societies composed tho procession. The distinguished guest was received at the railroad depot by the nmyor, and after an interchange of courtesies, en tered a carriage and was escorted by tbe procession to tbe Revere House. On reach !ng tbe hotel tbe General made a short speech, thanking the immense multitude for their approval of his actions.

Private letter? of a perfect R lmMc char acter from La Grange, Texas, tell a pitiable story of the unparalleled sufferings of the people in that town and its vicinity. Thow; remaining of the citizens number barely 500, yet the interments have reached as high as twenty-four in two days. The average mortality is eight. Those stricken by the fever are almost ;ure to die, tbe dis ease proving fata! in nine cases out of ten. Every house in the town is filled with sick ness and with death. Business has ceased entirely; the newspapers are no longer pub lished; the jail has been emptied of its in mates, who have fled in terror from the scene of desolation. In some eases there is no one to bury the dead. A REBEL OPINION OF GEN. GRANT'S PO SITION. —A special correspondence to the Baltimore Gazette, dated at Washington, October 1, 1867, says: "The new-papers at adi tance have been puzzled at the "posi tion" of General Grant. 1 can relieve that J anxiety. Lie is now substantially the Radi cal candidate for the next Presidency. The leaders of the party which aims at usurping j the Government, who have in sqnad- been visiting, at intervals, the metropolis ever j since the em cute of Stanton's removal, some liiuc ago came to the conclusion, in view of their probable defeat at the coming elec tions, to keep G rant in the background for the present. He was anxious to promulgc a written adhesion to the dogmas of the de structives at once. I have specific informa tion that thL (Joliah is reserved to break the force of the defeat which awaits the party, and that he has promised Sehenck, Logan, "Washhurnc, Farnsworth, ins., who have been recently manipulating him, to come out with his "great name" upon the heel of their discomfiture. The spasmodic efforts of Judge Chase arc quite superfluous. 1 record this fact for future reference. SUNN POTS AND METEORIC SHOWERS. — Mr. Schwa be has noticed a connection be tween these two classes of phenomena, lie finds that the minimum of spot frequently coincides very remarkably with the recur rence of meteoric showers, the period of ro tation of which, viz., 33,2 years, agrees with a larger period of the sun spots. In 1533 there was an extreme scarcity of spots (only 33 very small groups being observed), and in 18(55-7, after 33 years, the phenomena repeats itself. From the Ist of January to June 8, he bad observed only six small groups, and out of 133 days of observation there were 100 without sjiots. In the year 184s, which is the middle of the 33:2 years period, there was a maximum of spots. If the 33 years period should be established by future observations, then a maximum of meteoric showers would always occur alter three years ol the usual snnspot periods.— Mew York Trihme. THE Tuscarawas Adrm-ate says: As an il lustration of the advantages resulting from manufactures, we tnwl only look to our neighboring town of Canton. Not many vears ago Canton was one of the dullest and least progressive towns in Ohio. Instead of increasing in wealth and population, it was retrograding, as no one thought it worth while to locate there, and the young and en ergetic were leaving for nioro progressive lo calities. Finally, one man, a Dir. Ball, having invented an improvement in mow ing machines proposed that the citizens of Canton should loan him SIO,OHO, to manu facture them at that place. They did it. and that one fuctory was the nucleus around which the following have gathered. Two immense agricultural implement manufac tories, one of plows exclusively, one of stoves and hollow-ware, one of paper and mower knives, ouc of saddlery hardware, two of furniture, one of horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one of cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges, one of soap, besides a large number of others more or less ex : tensive.

Smalley writes to the Tribune from London a correction of the belief in this country that Carlyle is an enemy to the Cni ted States. lie says: "I affirm of my own knowledge that Cnrlyle's feelings were of a kind very different from these. He disbe lieved in the ideas on which the American Republic is built, but for America, for the people of America, and for the fidelity and courage which marked the struggle of the North for the Union he has often expressed his cordial liking and admiration." IK the intelligence furnished by a city of Mexico correspondent of the New Orleans l'icayune can be relied upon, we may con clude that another reign of terror has been inaugurated in the wretched Mexican republic which will eclipse iu bloodthirstiness the dar kest periotfin the history of the late empire. A large number of liberal officers have been imprisoned and others executed for insubor dination, and the work of blood and the dun geon is only stopped for the present on ac count of popular disgust and indignation.
