THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
The elections held on the 2nd, inst., in
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Mary
land, have all resulted about as we had rea
on to expect. New York has gone Demo
cratic, through frauds as we bad every
rcason to expect and we have perhaps 10-t
the Legislature. In New Jersey we have a
somewhat, similar result and Maryland fo!
lows suite. Of all these we never bad any
reason to expect anything else. Minncsot
Wisconsin, Illinois aud Massachusetts, ha e
ail gone largely Repablicao. Taking the O
tober and November elections all together,
they present the great Republican party in
an unbroken phalanx. All the ground .
gained we have firmly held even in a yea ,
when, following the Presidential election,
there is no excitement and seldom anything
like a full vote. This accounts for majori
ties in some of the states somewhat less
than last year when every man was out to
vote for our Soldier President. The result
all over the country shows conclusively that
the Republican strength is unbroken and
that its career of victory and lease of power
may be indefinitely continued if we but re
main true to oar principles. Here is the
point of danger. Adventurers of every
kind and character are drawn into the ranks
of the dominant party; and it is often diffi
cult to distinguish the true Republican, de
voted to the principles of his party and the
welfare of his country, from the selfish ad
venturer, without principle, honor or integ
rity, who has come into its ranks to seek his
own personal aggranalizement or pecuniary
profit. All the Republican party need do, is
to select as candidates and elect to office good
and true men, and the predominance of the
party and the prosperity of the country is
assured for years to come. But these con
ditions are indispensable. Reckless ex
travagance or foul corruption whether in
state or nation will inevitably sap the foun
dations of our strength. The Republican
party has taken high ground, and any short
comings on its part will not escape the no
tice nor the rebuke of the people. This is
a lesson for Pennsylvania to heed. With
administration and legislation up to the
standard of our profession Pennsylvania is
a stronghold of Republicanism fur years to
ccme; but reckless extravagance or corrup
tion in high places will lose her inevitably.
OUR SENATOR.
Some of our copperhead cotemporaries
arc greatly troubled that we place the name
of Edward Schull on our list of Senators.
We do it because we believe Le will be given
the seat and that rightly, justly and legally.
When we first referred to this subject a few
weeks ago and expressed a doubt as to the
fairness and propriety oi the action of the
Somerset board of return judges, we had
not all the facts of the ease. We then sup
posed that the return judge from Allegheny
township, had only made a mistake and got
hold o£thc wrong paper. It now turns out
that there was no certificate at all made by
the Allegheny township election board
and that the one finally produced was
made on Friday, three days after the
election, when the officers had no authori
ty to make out any paper whatever. This
certificate was therefore wholly void and
illegal, and the convention of return judges
were not only fully justified in rejecting it,
but tliey could not legally have done other
wise. If AO election board may make out
a certificate setting forth the number of
votes cast for each candidate, three days
after the election, when the general result
is known, then we open the door to unlimit
ed frauds wherever there is a close district.
We can Dot and will not uphold fraud and
dishonesty when we have icason to believe
it exists, but in this ease, the facts shows
that the action of the return judges of Som
erset was in strict accordance with the let
ter and spirit of the law. No better evi
dence of the bad faith of the Democracy is
needed than the fact that the Frothonotary,
of this County, or h : s clerk, in his absence,
refuses to file and forward to Ilarrisburg
the certificate and return made by Dr.
Hicks, as is the rule where there is a con
test. It may yet appear that Mr. Findlay
was fairly elected, a matter about which we
have very grave doubts, but no fair nor
honest construction of the election laws can
give liirn the seat on the prima facie. To
that Mr. Scull is clearly entitled and Mr.
l'indlay must seek his remedy in a contest
where he can have the case fairly investi
gated.
AIIOLISH THE THANKING PRIVI
LEGE.
Among other changes to he recommended
by Postmaster General Creswell we under
stand will be the Abolition of the Franking
Privilege. This privilege when first intro
duced was doubtless a useful one, but it has
been so extended in its application Leyond
its original intention and .-o grossly abu-ed
that the voice of the people loudly demands
its utter abolition. In so recommending
the Post master General only re-echoes the
public sentiment. \\ e hope Congress will
hear and heed. \Y e have fought our polit
ical battles upon our record of the past and
professions forthe future as the party of Re
trenchment and Reform: Grant and his
cabinet have managed all their vatious de
partments in full view of these pledges and
Congress dare not disregard them. We
know that the I ranking Privilege is in high
favor with many Senators and Congress
men, who have not been capable of rising
above the petty, partisan views of pot-house
politicians, but no one deserving the name
of Statesman will for a moment doubt the
propriety of abolishing the Franking Abuse,
or any other abuse even if it had its origin
in a mere privilege that was once not only
thought harmless but even proper and
desirable. It matters not- how important
or even accessary a privilege may he, when
ever it becomes, as the Franking Privilege
is, a notorious abuse, it should be unceremo
niously and remorselessly abolished. If the
wishes of the people are not utterly disre
garded the coming session of Congress will
promptly abolish the Franking Privilege.
Let all who favor it, demand it unceasingly.
lbii.N T GO.— The subcommittee of tho
( ongressional Committee on elections, con
sisting of Messrs. Churchill, Randall and
Cessna, appointed to go to South Carolina
to take testimony in a contested election
case, after a meeting on Friday last, at
>\ ashtngton, concluded not to go. The
funds appropriated for the use of the vari
ous investigating committees being already
expended the committee were unwilling to
exceed the appropriations. It is due to Hon.
John Cessna, to say that he was opposed to
and voted against the appointment of these
traveling committees. We lieartity agree
with him that they are not only a useless,
but injudicious expenditure of the public
funds.
GOLD closed in New York on Monday at
1265, with a downward tendency.
RECIPROCITY.
Tlie Canadian authorities are very busy
at Washington in organizing for a deter
mined effort to get a renewal of the Rccip
rocity Treaty on the meeting of Congress.
Reciprocity has always been a good thing
for Canada, but it has been a swindle and a
cheat for us. Under it, Caoada has always
flourished at our expense. IV e are unquali
fiedly opposed to any Reciprocity other than
what is found in our tariff of duties on ex
changes with other countries. If Canada
wants the advantages of free intercourse
with us let her become one of us, but let us
not be simple enough to build up a foreign
power on our Northern border at our own
expense, one day to be used against us.
It would really be furnishing a club to break
our own head. No more reciprocity, should
be the cry of every true citizen. We have
long enough been plucked by British free
traders of whom this Reciprocity Treaty
has been one of the chief supports. Cana
dians arc to-day emigrating to the United
States because they can do better here, they
bring their capital along and make good in
dustrious and valuable citizens. Recipro
city would stop this at once greatly to our
detriment Let us have no Reciprocity of
that kind.
THE SPEAKERSHIP of the HOUSE.
We see it Doted in many of our exchanges
that an active canvass is already on foot for
the Speakership at the coming session of
the Legislature. Among the prominent
candidates we notice B. B. Strang of Tioga,
of Pasting and Folding notoriety. The
election in Pennsylvania was carried largely
on the ground of Retrenchment and Reform,
and economy in all the public expenditures.
The election of such a man as Strang to the
Speakership under such circumstances
would be scarcely less than a crime. It
would certainly be a fatal blunder. He was
perhaps the beldest bad man in the last
Legislature, and bis open, outspoken defi
ance of public opinion and disregard of the
party pledges in advocating all sorts of jobs,
ought to mark bim with such a stamp of
infamy that no member of the coming Leg
islature who has a spark of honor or self
respect would dare to vote for him. Let
there be a decided expression of public sen
timent before the meeting of the Legisla
ture. The party is pledged to economy
aod reform, and she must elect men who
will carry out her pledges.
GEORGE PEABODY died at his residence
in London on Thursday night the 4th iust.
His munificient donations to various Edu
cational, Benevolent and Charitable institu
tions, loth in this Country and England
gave him a world wide fame. He contri
buted more to those objects than any other
man that ever lived, and his death is
mourned by both nations. He was born
in Danvers Mass., Feb. 18th, 1785, and was
consequently in his 75th year. May many
of our merchant princes and other men of
wealth imitate his noble example.
GETTING BACK TO THE GOOD OLD WAY. —
Grant and his cabinet are making a good
beginning in the way of re-establisbing the
good old rule of by-gone days, by keeping
the expenditures of every Department with
io the amount appropriated for its use.
This will put an end to those ugly features
of every appropriation bill, known as defici
ency hills. We hope it will be strictly ad
hered to in future.

The Pacific Railroads.
The report of the Special Commission on
the Pacific Railroad lias been placed on file.
They report that $585,000 is necessary to
bring up the Central l'acifie Railroad to the
requirements of a lirstclass road. This com

contends that, in addition to that which the
Special Cemmission require, the alignment
on the Sierra Nevada must be improved at
a very heavy expense.
The Union Pacific Railroad is reported as
requiring $1,581,(MX) to be expended. They
have also deposited in the Treasury Depart

about twenty-two thousand francs.
Crime in New York.
Startling Disclosures— Discovery of a Xb
toriou f Gave; of Counterfeiter* —Many
Prominent Citizen* Implicated—Arrests
and Seizures —The End Not Yet.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—C01. Whitely, of
the secret service division, and assistants,
have for over a month been engaged in fer
reting out one of the most notorious gangs
of counterfeiters in the country, and just
brought their labors to a successful close.
It was first ascertained that a langerous
sixty pound tobacco stamp was being offer
ed to enterprising tobacco merchants at
about one fifth the Government price—s3
for a stamp sold by the Government at sl9
and S2O. The inducements were so great
that many firms heretofore bearing unblem
ished reputations in this city, Virginia.
North Carolina and other States embarked
in the enterprise nnd purchased large lots
from the New York manufacturers.
The first arrest was made October loth,
in the person of Voluey Wright, who, it is
alleged, had endeavored to see an immense
quantity of these sixty pound stamps to
men named Copeland and Walker. lie was
quietly held to bail in the sum of SB,OOO to
await the action of the Grand Jury. The
bed-place, rolls and plate, with six transfers,
were secured by the detective. The pext
arrest was one Hart Fierce, an accomplish
ed engraver, of 39 Nassau street, on Octo
ber 30, with whom were seized all the dies
and machinery used in counterfeiting,
among which was a press tor transferring,
costing one thousand dollars.- Colonel Rob
ert Clark, who, during the war commanded
the Fourteenth New York Volunteers, was
next secured, and his rooms, at 317 East
Seventeenth street, searched. In almost
every bcaureau drawer, stand drawers, box
es, trunks and valises, evidences of gilt
were found. One valise contained the plute
of the pound stamp, dies for marking, one
penny stamps, hundreds of sheets contain
ing two hundred and ten pound stamps, to
gether with about SISOOO worth of clean,
genuine stamps. The property was all
seized.
It was next ascertained that the mill
where these stamps were ground out was
about fifteen miles from this city, at Prince's
Bay, Staten Island. Seven men were sent
to the spot, and after a tramp ol half a mile
through the woods, discovered the buildiug,
in which were arrested, John PipOD, steel
and copper plate printer, a native of Eng
land, thirty-eight years of age, his partner,
William S. Kempton, a native of Maine,
j forty years of age, and a retired sea Cap
tain. Pipon's wife, three children and a
colored girl were on the premises.
In one room was found a large amount of
paper, such as is used by the Government
in the manufacture of revenue stamps, a
large supply of inks, oils and jugs, tilled
with gum that the latter used for adhesive
purposes, also a die for making three-ecnt
silver pieces, steel dies for stamping coins
containing all the letters of the alphabet,
dies for all arithmetical figures, but no plates
or printed work.
In another room was a perforating press
for punching the holes between the stamps
on the printed sheets.
In the garden, about eighteen inches he
low the surface, was found, on information
given by llipon, a box which contained the
plate on which had been transferred the
one-cent revenue stamp 210 times, the bed
piece and transferring die, a large number
of stamps, thousands of printed sheets ready
for use, and other articles. The prisoner
and materials were brought to this city, and
the former taken to the United States Mar
shall's office, where they were held in cus
| tody.
It was now ascertained that an engraver
named Reuben Carpenter, having an office
at No 11 Bloomfieid street, Roston. had
been employed to engrave the United States
Five twenty bonds.
Officers were sent to Boston, and with
the assistance of detectives, there arrested
Carpenter in the act of engraving a pass on
the Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad.
He surrendered to the officers a one thou
sand Five-twenty bond, which he had been
employed to engrave by a man in the city
who was in the last stages of consumption.
It is alleged that numerous other prominent
persons of this city are under suspicion and
surveillance, and it is believed several hund
red thousand dollars of these bogus stamps
have been put in circulation.
MIRUEK IN PITTSBURGH.
T. J. Campbell Murder* his wife Isabela
On Sabbath evening last a horrible mur
der was committed in the 14th ward of
Pittsburgh. From the Dispatch we clip the
following extract from the hearing before
the Mayor:
On the part of the prosecution District
Attorney Pearson submitted the following
statement sworn to, previous to hearing, by
Job Marland:
I, Job Marland. of the Fourteenth ward
of Pittsburgh, make this my solemn state
ment: I was in Mr. Campbell's house on
Sunday evening, November 7, 1869, about
4 o'chx-k; Mr. Campbell went up stairs. I
heard Campbell's wife scream and cry mur
der; I heard a heavy fall, tben Mr. Camp
bell came down stairs; be went up stairs
three times; every time he went up stairs he
beat her; every time he was up stairs she
called "murder." The last time he was up
stairs he said: "You ***** J'U kji]
you." He then ordered her down stairs; he
then kicked her down stairs; after he came
down he picked her up and laid her on the
settee and commenced beating her with a
poker; I told him it was a shame to abuse a
woman; he told me if' I interfered he would
cut my G —d —n liver out; I then left; she
was alive when I left; I did not know she
was dead till the officer came to the mill this
morning.
The witness was cross examined on this
statement by Mr. McCarthy, and testified
as follows:
Did not have my hands on his wife's per
son at any time. He came into the house
and said, "I'll cut your G—d—d liver out;"
I then ran out. Before 1 ran out I saw
Golden. First went in on Sunday morning;
went for some liquor; we were all in the
room. I was not up-stairs in the house; I
did not throw this man (Campbell) into bed.
I was in the house also during the day, four
or five times; I got a pint of liquor and took
it in; left in the evening, between seven and
eight o'clock. Between two and three o'-
clock I was away from the house; I had four
drinks of liquor in me when I left. I was
in the basement, sitting on a settee oppo
site the foot of the stairs, at the time of the
quarrel. Could see to the top of the stairs.
Campbell and his wife were on the top of
the stairs, when he threw her down. He
had hold of his wife by the arm and shoul
der. He gave her a kick, and she fell down
to the bottom. He then picked his wife up
and threw her on the settee. He then
struck her agaiD, while she was on the set
tee. lie struck her with an iron instru
ment —think it was iron from the sound of
it; I then became frightened and ran out;
thought I saw a large knife in his hands.
Owen Murphy sworn—Was in Camp
bell's house last night; he asked me to go
to the drug store and buy some sticking
planter; I refused to go and then I walked
away; heard a scream at Campbell's house
on Saturday evening ; went in and found
M rs. Campbell crying; she had a lump on
her head; I told Campbell not to strike his
wife ; he told me that if she didn't behave
herself he would cut her; he then threaten
ed to cut me.
Re-direct. I Lad a bottle of whisky when
I called on Campbell in the morning; I
knew he liked a little, and I wanted to give
him a drink ; saw no blow struck.
James Golden—Live near Campbell; he
called me early on Sunday morning: was
there again in the evening about four
o'clock: Mrs. Campbell said she had some
whisky and was going to sell it on Sunday.
Cross examined: When I went up stairs
in the garret Mrs. Campbell was sleeping; I
went up -to get some Whisky; Camplxd]
followed; when he came into the room I was
standing at the foot of Mrs. Campbell's
bed; saw no blows struck; he attempted once
to kick his wife in my presence, but 1 kept
him from it.
Officer JiOng testified to having assisted
Mr. Ruch in making the arrest, and that
the prisoner, when arrested, was under the
influence of liquor.
The 31 ay or then committed the prisoner
to jail for trial at the next term of the
Criminal Court.
STRENGTH OF THE NAVY.— There are now
in the United States navy for four iron clads
in commission and twenty-nine more that
can be ready for sea in two weeks. The
number of sailing vessels of all kinds attach
ed to the navy is fifty.
Spain and Cuba.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 7,1869.
A few unpublished facts regarding the late
attempt by our Government to settle the
difficulties "between Spain and Cuba, are that
the terms of mediation were proposed by
Mr. Ruiz, a Cuban by birth, and a thorough
going sympathizer with the revolutionists,
who has spent half his fortune in equipping
the patriot army of that island. They were
given by bita to Secretary Fish, who sub
mitted them to President. Grant, and they
wore approved by him without hesitation, a
fact which shows most unmistakably his
friendliness for the Cubans. They were for
warded by special messenger to Madrid, for
the purpose of hastening a final decision,
and because he did not desire to compel the
Cubans to wait uutil the appointment and
departure of General Sickles for the answer
of the Spanish Cabinet, The latter, how
ever, delayed action until General Sickles
arrived, and then, rejecting the overtures
in question, offered a compromise, which in
turn was rejected by the Cuban representa
tives here, which induced our Government
to drop the subject for the present. From
these plain facts it will be seen that the Ad
ministration has thus far, without compro
mising our claims against Great Britain,
acted in the premises as the earnest and
sineero friend of the Cubans. It is, there
fore, evident that the only obstacle which
prevents it from giving more material aid to
the latter is the possibility of a complication
of our differences with the English; and if
Congress assumes the responsibility, as it
undoubtedly will, of granting belligerent
rights to the Cubans, it will merely take an
additional and more important step than the
Administration has felt justified in taking
up to this time. The Cubans themselves,
although cognizant of these facts, have en
tertained and expressed the opinion that
the Administration was inclined to play fast
and loose with them. In truth, however,
they have no justification for such an opin
ion, except that Secretary Fish has frqp
first looked upon the Alabama claims us
something of more importance to the coun
try than the claims of Cuba. It is under
stood that his opinion in this respect has
undergone great change recently, and that
he has discovered, through the expressions
of Congressmen who have arrived, that the
public generally is more concerned about
the Cubans than about Great Britain.
Nevertheless, the exceedingly cogent points
of Senator Sumner's speech on the subject
have and will continue to have great weight
with him, as it has with Congress and the
people at large.
A ROBBKR FRIGHTENED TO HEATH —A
few weeks ago the members ola houseoo'd
in Rochester, England, were startled one
forenoon by a heavy fall on the floor aluvo.
Several of the family thereupon rushed up
stairs to the principal room on the second
floor, from which tho noise seemed to come.
On opening the door they lound a strange
man lying on the carpet. He evidently had
just fallen, but was quite dead. Ili- fea
tures wore a look of terror, awlul to look
upon. Around the room was strewn prop
erty which he had removed from the trunks
and closets, to carry off; hut there ha lay,
stricken dead, in the midst of the bootv.
Never was the old fashioned verdict of the
coroner's jury, ' Died hv the vi.-itation of
God," more appropriate than in this case,
for many persons will believe that the death
of the robber was a punishment sent, direct
from the hand of the Almighty. The cler
gyman at Rochester seems to have thought
something of this kind, for he refused to
permit the prayers of the English Church
to he read over the body of the man ; conse
quently it could not he interred in a cerne
tcry, but was placed in uneonsecrated ground.
CUBAN RUMORS.— The Cubans expect
Senator Morton, who is now in Washington,
to lead off when Congrc-- meets in a speech
in favor of the recognition of Cuban inde
pendence. The whole question is to he
transferred from the Administration to Con
gress, and the friends of Cuba affect to care
very little lor what the President may say
in the matter in his message. They are al
ready promised that a bill will be introduced
early in the coming session repealing the
neutrality laws and feel confident that it
will go through the House with as large a
majority as did a similar measure in the last
Congress while the Fenian excitement v,as
pending. An unoffical letter received Gam
Havana, dated October 29, says, per centra,
that the Spaniards were never so confident
as now of suppressing the rebellion, and
that this confidence is based on the weak
condition of the insurgents in the island,
and more especially on the course pursued
by this Government in enforcing the
neutrality laws, by tho detention of the
Hornet, and in other ways.
A REMARKABLE CASE.— The super
intendent of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in
Columbus, Ohio, gives the following in
teresting account of one of his pupils,
named Win. E. Morfier: '"This pupil, in
his misfortune, illustrates the intimate con
nection between hearing and seeing, in their
origin. Last year, while a pupil at the
Blind Asylum, he suddenly recovered his
sight, with a simultaneous loss of hearing
and power of speech. Accordingly, at the
opening of this term he was transferred to
this institution, and has been in all respects
a genuine deaf mute. Last Sunday he was
attacked with severe neuralgic pain in the
head and chest, rcsuliing in perfect restora
tion of hearing and the loss of sight, with
out even the power of raising the eyelids.
His faculty of speech bad not returned to
him, but he communicates by the manual
alphabet. He still suffers considerable
pain."
LOUISVILLE. —Louisville, Kentucky, it is
asserted, has doubled its size since the war.
The newspapers of that city state that large
numbers of buildings, many of them very
costly and elegant, have been erected, that
the boundaries have been extended until the
municipal area is twice as large as formerly,
and that the population lias increased in
like proportion, while manufactories estab
lished many years ago. but never attempt
ing competition with like manufactories in
Cincinnati, are flourishing.
MIRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI. —At Corinth,
Mississippi, last Friday, after a damp and
chilly day, the sun came out just before
setting, when a fine mirage was observed.
The Corinth Republican says : On looking
upward toward the we-t one could see the
reflection of the trees, bushes, cars, and a
portion of the foundary, apparently up side
down, in mid-air, perfectly plain; some one
crossed the railroad during the mirage, and
every movement was seen as clearlv us if but
a few feet distant.
AN INCIDENT OF TIIE RECENT FLOOD.—
An affecting incident occurred at Burling
ton, Vermont, during the recent flood. Just
before Freidreich, who was lost, went over
the dam and falls, two of his children were
on the bank, and saw their father on the
fatal raft of lumber. Too young to under
stand the danger to which he was exposed,
each in childish innocence hailed and cried
to their father but an instant before he went
down. "Good-bye, papa."
SHE FIGHTS MIT GREELY.— During the
ballottiDg in New York city last Tuesday,
an old woman appeared at the polls of the
Eighth district of the Fifteenth ward and
tendered a vote for Mr. Greeley. When it
was refused the woman would not be put
off, and stood arguing her right to vote for
Mr. Greeley until she was removed by tho
police.
NORTH GERMAN NAVY.— The North
German Navy, since the acquireaient of
ports on the Baltic, has been rapidly increas
ing, and greater interest is felt among the
people in maritime affairs. The German
society in aid of the shipwrecked is constant
ly receiving additions of members and eon
tributions, and the opeiations of the associ
ation are becoming more extended. The
sympathy with the shipwrecked sailors is
not_ confined to the coast districts, and the
society recently received a donation of $3,-
000 from a resident of Bonn.
EXTENSIVE COTTON FACTORY.—A new

A FEW WEEKS ago Mr-. Arabella A.
Mansfield, A. 8., ol Mount Pleasant, lowa,
was admitted to the bar and authorized to
practice law in that State. The Mount
Pleasant Jour in giving an account of
her admission, sat:-: '*3 l is.' Mansfield is a
young uiarri'd ludv of about twenty-four
jcats of age, is a graduate of the lowa Wcs
jeyan I Diversity, and a lady of strong mind
1 ha* she has the brain and the necessary
ability to make a good record lor herself in
the profession of her choice, no one will dis
pute. Her husband, Professor J. 31. Mans
iield, was al.-o admitted at the time."
IT is now pretty well understood that the
"Stonewall" horror of the Mississippi was
the result of criminal carelessness. In the
first place, the boat was loaded in gross vio
lation of the law. In the next place, the
fire was communicated by gamblers on
hoard. Then there was but one yawl, and
in other re;iccts not the usual or required
provisions for safety. The occurrence can
not be attributed to a mysterious Provi
dence. It was wholly a human affair, and
it was peculiarly one of those occurrences in
which it cannot he said that there was no
body to blame. Somebody must answer for
this terrible crime; somebody has swept
over two hundred souls into eternity with
little more than a moment's warning.
