sti)fort Inquirer. BEBFORO, iM., FBIBAY, CtT. 18, 18u THE RESULT OF APATHY. The latest election news gives Sharswood a imgfirity ofßo2. This result uiav be changed if the fraudulent Copperhead vote in Philadelphia, of which there are reported to be about 3,<**,are rejected. Hut despite the fraudulent votes our ddcai is l->ie the result of apathy and indifference on the part of the Republican voters of the Stafe. j f king our own county as a criterion by which to judge, and there arc many that have done worse, we find that while there is only a fail ing off in the Copperhead vote of 191, in the Republican there is a deficiency ol 286. The Copperhead vote thi- year is 2" 14 while the Republican is only — ;f -• hast year the Copperhead vote was 2 via and the Republican '2591. Now it the Republican vote this year as compared ' t phntofla-t had been as full in proportion its ill ' "p perhead, we would have had 166 m r v.a. - and the Copperhead majority instead ol 33'.' I would have been but 219. 'i'hat is, instead of gaining 95 on last year's vote they wouid have lost 25. Thus much for the apathy ol Bedford County Republicans. -Just such conduct throughout the state has lost u>. in all probability, a Supreme .Judge. If we had been as active and had got out as full a vote in proportion all over the state as the Copperheads in this county, all of which could easily have been done, instead of iosing the State by 802 we would have carried it by more than 14, 000. Let Republicans ponder these facts and not despair, but go to work to redeem what, through negligence, they have lost The task will be a light one if entered upon with energy and seal. In 1802! we were in a similar manner beaten by a Cop perhead majority in the State of 3,524 though in 1860 we bad carried it by 59,018. Awakened from our dreams of fancied se eurity and alarmed for the safety of the country we went to work at once and in 1803 the state was carried by a Republican ma jority 15,325 which was increased in I>■ • 4 to 20,075 and in 1865 to 22.660. What has been done can be done again. Awake then Republicans! Shake 'iff the lethargy that has already imperiled the great work of te ccnstruction and through it the life of the nation. Co to work with the zeal and ener gy of freemen determined to preserve their freedom. Igxhor in behalf of humanity, justice, liberty, peace, union and free insti tutions. Remember that eternal vigilance is the twice of liberty, that activity is an in dispensable condition of political a- well s natural life. Nothing is wantiug but a rea sonable degree of energy in the Presidential Campaign of 1868 to give us at least 20,0 X) majority in Pennsylvania. It can and must be done, so "pick your flints and try it again." AMENDMENT OT THE PENSION LAWS AND THE OBSTINACY Ol TIIE PENSION OFFICE. One should think that the experience of the Government of the 1 nited States in granting Pensions to the widows and or phans of deceased Soldiers, had at least ap proximated to a perfect system, a system that would do e<|Ual and exact justice to the unfortunate who have been thrown upon the world by the casualties of war, and whom the Government is in honor bound to support, yet there are thousands of wid ows and orphans, the victims of the late rebellion, whose happy homes have been broken up, the mother sent to labor for her daily bread, and her little ones to become the drudges of those in better circum stances. Why is this? Because Congress has neglected to make the necessary provi sion for evidence out-side of the evidence required by the inexorable rules of the Pen sion Office. We will state a case: A was drafted, reported, passed an examination and was held to service. He sickens shortly af ter beinir sent to the front, is sent to the hospital and dies of Consumption. Tbe Pcndcm office demands medical testimony to the effect that he contracted the disease in the service. No one knows and the claim is suspended. Ilia widow and children are the outraged victims of a relentless Conscription, they have been sent from a home of comfort to beg their way through the world, because the Govern nicnt, through its sublime "Circumlocution office," presided over by Mr. Barrett, refu ses to give the little pittance which it pledg ed to pay these unfortunates, when it re lentlessly took away their support, in case it did not return him. We can cite a score of cases, all of which have inflicted beggary upon those who were, prior to the war, de pendent on strong arms aod warm hearts and who lived in happiness and content ment. If Congress does not do something to re lieve these distressed creatures we suggest that the Pension office bo abolished. If one is relieved all should be relieved. If the cases, of which we speak, were isolated and far between, it would be quite a different thing. But they are very numerous. We do not hold the Pension office blameless either in this matter. A great amount of the distress is caused by its everlasting de lays and its red-tape. Here is a ea eas an instance: B enlisted early in the war and disappeared in a skirmish at Hagerstown, Maryland. He was not found on the field after the action and his officer reported him missiDg He was afterwards seen by a per son who knew him at Andersonville, Georgia, who swears that he was in a dying condition but did not see him die or after death. The case is suspended year in and year out for evidence of" death. We do not think that Mr. Barrett is always cognizant of such cases, but it should be the duty of the head of that office to see that his exam iners do their duty by those who are the nation's special charge. Wo are satisfied that examiners become prejudiced against a case and they tigM it as if the integrity of the Government depended upon the grant ing of a single Pension, and while this is going on at Washington, the helpless on the Other end of the fine are starving. There appears to be as little soul and humanity in the Pension office as there is in an ice-berg. We call upon Congress Immediately upon its meeting in November to pass a law air j Iborizing the Pension office to settle all this ! ■ lass of claims without any further unrea sonahle delay. Unless this is done wo have ! no idea how many, very many, soldiers widows and orphans are to got through the winter. However, whethei they cau get through or not, it is a shame that the Gov j eminent of the United States should thus i violate its pliehted faith with those whom I it has hereft of their all and thus reduced them from comparative ease to beggary. HttßAl. 881 OKJIS AND POLtTICAt PARTIES. The loses of the Republican Party in the leceut elections have been made the subject of discussion by the press of both parties. Various causes have been assigned to ac count for them. Taking both sides we find the causes altogether sum up about as follows apathy in the Republican ranks, the effort to elevate the negro and grant him the same I protection of person and property as the | white men —to restrain the tido ol druuk ! eimess and crime that is flooding the land, j hv stringent license laws, and to sustain the I time honored and divinely commanded ob servance of the Sabbath day. i hesc em i brice the sum of the worst charges that. • ven our enemies can make against, us. Apathy in times, such as tie preset)', is -carccly less than a crime. With this ex i option no party ever lias been or even will be finally defeated while it preserves such a record in the face of the most bitter enmi ty. Such charges coming from its enemies constitute the most eloquent tribute that any political party either in the pastor the present has ever received. The Republic an party has never countenanced the bring ing of moral questions into the political arena, but the leaders and the great major ity of the party being eminently moral and sober, its enemies have persistently charged upon it a desire to interfere with the laws ! on these subjects, thereby hoping so to identify the Republicans as the originators and upholders of all laws imposing moral restraints upon the people, as to bring all the opposers of these movements, the Sab bath breaker, and the drunkard into their ranks. In this they have in a measure suc ceeded. The Republican party may well be proud of its peculiar position in this res pect. It is a noble one and to its truthful ness its enemies bear willing testimony. Hut it is not a good omen for the country when political parties each striving for the management of the government of the country, endeavor to array the friends of any moral reform movement on one side or the other. The inevitable result of any such ef fort is to limit the usefulness and success of the movement and at the same time embit ter political contests. It is certainly much better that each party should avoid pander ing to vice and immorality for political pur poses. and that there should be a sufficient sober, moral, peacable, and law abiding ele ment in any party lo direct its policy in the interest of the great moral principles under lying all Government and which are the recognized conservators of our religious and civil liberty. THE Copperheads of Pennsylvania have been unceasing in their charges of corruption against the Republican party. The party has never existed in which corrupt men did not find a place and probably never will. Kven in the Pennsylvania Legislature the few Copperheads that are there show a lar ger proportion of corrupt men than the Re publicans if their votes for the mouoply, the chief criterion, are to be taken as an index. Another difference is the Republican, while exposing the corruption of the opposition dare to denounce and oust whenever possible such of their own number as are found wan ting in integrity. The Cops invariably re fuse to see the corruption of their own mem bers and do their utmost to hide it from the honest men of their own party THE time has come when the independent Republican Press of Pennsylvania should throw overboard the dead weight of faction alism which has characterized a number of its leaders. The Republican Party has been carrying too much dead weight and we call upon our cotemporaries to assist us iu igno ring it. We have been the tools of a few men much too long and the injury is almost irreparable. There is brains enough and money euough in the party to sustain it without it being the vehicle of a few leaders who know nothing but self. THE Republican party in the canvass, which has just closed, was charged with be ing in favor of temperance, Sunday liquor laws, opposed to Sunday ears and every mea sure intended as reforms according to thcii acceptation by the public. A friend sug gests that we have been fighting the devi and the Copperhead party about lonp enough, and that in the future we had bet ter turn our attention to the Copperhead party alone. This is no doubt a verv good suggestion because the defeat of that party will be sufficient humiliation for his Satanic majesty. The Oops by out-generaling the He pub licansmost handsomely, getting out almost their entire vote, have a beggarly majority of six or eight hundred in the State. What chance will they have in a contest in which the Republicans get out their vote? A friend used to illftstrate matters of this kind by saying ''about as much chance as a cat in tophet without claws." THEY never have any Agricultural l-'aira in Pulton County or they would have better specimens of poultry. This is evident from the hard specimen exhibited by the Dnno crat last week. That find looked as if he had been into a severe fight and escaped with nothing but the mere skeleton. THE Philadelphia daily New* contains ar. article headed a "Mad Dog." We don't know any better subject for just such a cap tion than the editor of the New t, provided the orthography of the adjective were re versed. THE Republicans of Ohio have elected their candidate for Governor, Gen. Hayes, by a majority ol' three or four thousand. They have carried lowa, also, by a majority of twenty-five thousand. All is not lost that is in danger. THE Pittsburgh AW thinks "The day of Reason" has come. Tom Paine thought it was the "AGE of Reason." Copperheads and infidels accord iu views. COPPER-JOHNSON PROGRAMME DKVEL OIMNO. —Since the election the Cops of this region are already busy discussing their next Presidential ticket. The latest proposition, and the one received with most favor is to nominate Johnson for President and Gen. Leo for Vice President. We expect to see Jeff Davis substituted instead of Johnson. A pure rebel ticket will no doubt he most popular with them. WE would call attention to an article in tfnother column from the Pittsburgh Cum mereial, relative to the organization of a new railroad project for the southern tier of counties. Wo hope that the project will be successfully put on foot and our people will do all they can pecuniarily to assist in its con struction. THE Pittsburgh Pott gets up a Copper head pyramid, which we presume it does on the principle of a robber, who lias, after considerable flight, appropriated the goods of another and exclaims "these arc my goods." For instance, Ohio, lowa, Maine, j;e. , &c., THE Elections in Louisiana and Alabama have resulted in considerable majorities for Conventions to amend the Consttntiona of those states in accordance with the provi sions of the lleconstruction law. THE Pittsburgh /savs the election news was received with great pleasure in Richmond, Virginia. The unreconstructed rebels receive Copperhead victories with as much gusto and jubilation as they did during the rebellion. THE Copperhead Party sustains the unen viable recoid of pandering to every evil prejudice, passion, wickedness and crime for the purpose of making votes. Can such a Party triumph? ALMOST every Irishman you meet hurrahs for the Fenians and damns the "Nagur." They favor freedom for themselves and their friends, and slavery for the negroes. Strange consistency. THE Cops have gone back en Andy since the elections and Andy has done likewise with them. Ruth parties have resolved themselves into a mutual admiration society. l.\ the Republican State Convention at RaUitnore, a resolution was adopted sixty four to seventeen, recommending the nomi nation of General GRANT for President. CAPT. IIEI.M should see that the editor of the Gazette does not exhibit his menagerie withuut a license. Ex -ADJUTANT GENERAL Rt WELL. — When A. L. Russel was called to take charge of the Adjutant General's office of Pennsylvania, from seeing a mere nominal position whose duties required only a super vision of one or two State arsenals, it had suddenly grown to that of a department holding sway over a hundred thousand sol diers. " It will be inferred from this simple fact that it required a man of more than or dinary ability, a hand of more than every day business power to comprehend the workings and guide the development of such an operation. Rut Gen. Ru-sell at once made himself master of the situation. He had sagacity, energy, fore-sight and inflexi ble will, while at the same time, even when seemingly unbending in the performance of his delicate duties, no man can say that he ever received from Alexander L. Russell other than tho most courteous treatment, nor can any soldier assert that he ever suf fered a wrong at his hand-'. We write this because we know exactly what we record; and because we desire to do a faithful offi cer justice on his retirement. Gen. Russell will always have rc-a-ori to be proud of his official acts. His energy aided largely in getting out Pennsylvania troops, and his promptness contributed greatly in putting those troops into the field. These are his torical facts which will be elaborated more fully when the history of Pennsylvania's great service to the Governnu nt i- written. We pait with Gen. Russell with regret. His social relations in IJarrisburg have al ways been of the best, and few men have served in official connection in this city, who left Harrisburg with more of the good wish es of the people than Wen. Rus-01l will ta'-e away. —Wc understand Gen. Russell is a candi date for Clerk of the House. He has am ple ability for that position, having hereto fore served as Clerk of the same hotly.— Harvlxhurg Thgraph. AN EXAMPLEFOR CHRISTIAN Rt LERS.— While tho Greek Catholics, the Mat-unites, and even the MohammedausofSyria strictly observe the Sabbath, suspending all ordinary business and labor, then Roman catholic,- generally spend it in amusement and dissi pation. During the Easter festivities, the Mohammedan governor of Mount Lebanon visited the town of Rerel Kamcr, and w called upon by the Roman catholic bishops and priests. During the interview lie com plained that the shops of their parishioners were kept open on Sunday, and business went on as on other day-, gr<,t!y to tKo Jet rfment of the people. They replied that they could not stop it, as the people would not obey them, when he said that lie would help them enforce obedience, and would im prison any uian who opened hi- hop on that day. The order was i--ued and cxecu ted, und after a few arrests the nuisance was abated. THE WEST SENDING LIGHT TO THE EAST. —The Japanese, once the most seelusive, hid fair to beceme the most enlightened oi Eastern nations. They are sending (o this country and Europe deputations of their eminent men to investigate and become familiar with the improvements of modern civilization, and several of their intelligent young n.en are now pursuing their education here. Six well educated young men of rank are in the academy at Monson, Mass., under the patronage ofthc leading prince of Japan for the purpose of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the English language, ft is gratifying to know that, without any attempt at proselyting them, their own logical per ceptions have already traced the superiority of the Western nations to the elevating in fluences of Christianity. PERSECUTION OE JEWS.--The Jews of Roumauia have been the victims of bitter persecution, at the instication of the gov ernment, whose Minister of the Interior, 31. Bratiano, had been a prominent liberal be fore bis accession to power. He hasordcrcd that they be deprived of their legal rights and expelled from their farms and houses, and arrested as rogues and vagabonds. This so excited the fanaticism of the people that a general massacre was threatened. Tho governments of England and .France have interfered in their behalf. ALL THAT GLITTERS. I* MOT GOLD.—The bu-incss of counterfeit ing preeiona jewels is carried Oil very extensively and euceessfully. There are several Urge luanufactories in I'aris, and two-thirds of the l< tench jewel department in the exposition was occupied by sham jewelry. In one case thorn wore six rows of pearls, three real pearls worth 15,000 fraDea, ami three artificial worth 150 francs; yet only a jeweller or a pawnbroker could distinguish the true from the false, showing how easily tin- unskilled can lie de ceived in these beauliful articles of luxury.

Of that which goes to Cuba ami Brazil, fulll 50 per cent finds its way to Europe, four-fifths of which is exported to India, where, as has been the custom for ages, it is absorbed and hoarded up, and never returns to the civili zed world.
