In S5B
The Fiikb Vote. Tho attention of
tho reader In called to tho speech of Mr.
Buckalkw, ou tho lint lmge, on this
subject. This speech la not a repetition
'of former nrgunionts, but a continua
tion thereof, and probably gives nmoro
practical Idea of tho details of tho plan
thnn any thins that liasyot appeared.
The Result in the Stato.
Tho Congressmen elected are divided
between tho patties very nearly as they
bhouM he, taking tho last Presidential
vote us a teat of party strength 13 Re
publicans to 11 Democrats, though 12
.members are Indebted to Democratic
votes for their election, and only au
equal number owo that obligation to
ttlie Republicans.
.As to the recent contest, so far as ro-
ards the popular vote, we look upon It
'jtu a drawn battlo, rather favorable, how-
over, to tho Democracy. Tho vote was
not a full one, nnd thoro Is not a sufll
clout majority of those polled far either
judo to make it safe to claim a decided
wJctory. But, certainly, tho largo galu
of Congressmen is something for the
JJomocracy to exult ovor.
The most Important point settled is
UiU, viz : that the Itepnbl leans gam noth
ing by the addition of the Jfegro vote I
,As tho Negroes nearly all votou, tno
general poll being light, tho Republican
train would havo been overwhelming
had there not been a largo accession of
white men to tho Democratic ranks.
Tho feeling of disgust at having the Ne
gro brought to the polls upon an equali
ty will bo much more effectual hereafter
than at tho last election, for whito peo
ple only begin to realize the offensive
mess of tho proceeding. The more they
.reflect upon it tho morodetermlned they
will hereafter bo in resisting it, and the
timo is already close at hand when all
jiartlcs will want lo rid themselves of
.the odium of having tho Negro vote.
'Wo therefore regard Pennsylvania as
certain tq be thoroughly Democratic
hereafter. The Republican party Is
ulmnly on tho wane, too, for other rea-
.bous, and one complete and thorough
defeat will send It to tho tombs never
to come forth again oven by tho power
ful hand of resurrection, unless it bo
-under a new name, disguised, and with
'other objects in view.
.Contesting- Elections
Immediately after the election it was
'announced that Messrs. Scimnck of
Ohio, and Moruell, Armstrong, and
Cessna of this State, 'woaU contest
ihe seats of thcirsuccessful'compotltors.
Thoro seemed to be no other ground for j
this courso ofaction than1 that the suc
cessful candidates'had been chosen'by
Small majorities. That 'fact affords
"great facilities for'contestlneand thwar
ting popular Judgment, for.it is seldom
If over the case that Bome'techn.cal'er
ror (really of no moment) cannot be
discovered in. some ono or rubro of the
many election districts contained with
in the largo boundaries of a Congres
sional district. Ono good result, how
ever, attending th'esa congests Is,.th"a
candidates who thus defyipopular ma
jorities are over effectually killed there-'
'after.
Of the above, Mosses. ScnENCK and
Moruell .have already onnounoed that
they will not contest, their senso of
honor precluding them from endeavor
ing to 6btaIria'6eatbjJrnedri3'6f technic
alities and tho sympathy ofithelr po
litical friends in Congress. Mr. Arm
dtronq is B'gentleinan of high'porsonal
c haracter, proud oflils honorable namo,
and nothing short of tho art will induco
us to bcliovo that' he will contest upon
'technical grounds. He has been fairly
defeated, in a district overwhelmingly
Republican, becausehis own party were
personally dissatisfied with him, and
every instinct of manly honor therefore
demands of him to submit to the result,
and fight his battlo manluliy before the
- people who, rightfully or wrongfully,
havo rejected him.
But In tho remaining case there is a
different slate of affairs. John Cessna
Is In politics what a dirty little whelp
is among puppies. He would Just as
willingly steal a seat in Congress, or
anything else, us to obtain It by nonora
tie' means, and If tho choice were left
perfectly free to him we are by no means
certain that his natural instincts would
not lead him to prefer tho meanest or
most vllllanous way.
Contesting successfully will not bo so
easy in tho next Congress as in tho last.
Thb Republican majority will be both
more limited and moro cautious. Even
in tho last Congress many Republican
members shuddered at tho outrages so
often committed upon popular rights,
buttheso wcro usually deterred from
action by tho overwhelming party ma
jority. In tho next Congress, it is ap
parent, too, that tho Republican ma
jority will bo greatly reduced if not
practically annihilated. Fair men will
therefore havo power and (ho outra
geous schemes of tho reckless will be
'more or less effectually curbed.
Tho unpopularity of throwing men
ut who havo been elected will alto de
ter tho Republican majority hereafter.
Tho recent elections make It abundant
ly manifest that It has becomo necessary
tor tho Republican party to husband Its
trength If it would retain power. It
loan derive no advantage, but Will reap
injury, by tho unfair gain bf a few votes
in Congress. AVhil.o Cessna would as
toon of choice wallow in filth as rove)
In virtue, tho other gentlemen named
Will scarcely bo willing to forever blast
their political future for the sake of an
ill-gotten brief moment In CongreM.
Vo conclude, therefore, that there Is
a vast amount of fudge about tho threats
of contesting Congressional seats and
look confidently for a nobjercourspof
action.
The Philadelphia Day declares that
''a fair and honest election in any great
dfy la n rare occurrence.'' As tho editor
Is familiar with the Philadelphia elec
tions in most comploto detail, tho ad
mission may be regarded as frank and
true. Ho certain means have, yet been
suggested to correct this unbearaoloovll
except the plan of free voting. As that
woud takeaway all motive for cheat
ing, wo nilglit then look for fair elec
tloos and respectable representation
Jrom Philadelphia.
Iiuzorno County,
General suri.tlso Is expressed thruugh
out tho Slate at the defeat of Ihu De
mocracy of Luzerne tit tho recent elec
tion, and explanation is Impatiently
Called for. So far as wearoablo to Judge
at this point, wo think ono of tho com
plaints of tho Democracy of Luzcrtio Is
that they hvo entirely too many small
great men, and that inauy cf these,
capablo of little el so than mischief, are
most disgracefully selfish nnd factious.
But tho material causo of failure is tho
corruptions that' havo becomo so pre
valent lu that county, and this corrup
tion pervades all their operations. Tho
Scran Ion Democrat, for Instance, coolly
remarks :
'Tho Delegates havo to bo boucht
when elected ; they havo to bo bought
n second tlmo in tho convention, and
Anally must bo bought a third tlmo to
secure (heir votes, and after this trouble,
tlmo and expense, thoy will sell to tho
opposition nnd defeat tho men they
tnemseivc3 nominated."
And the editor might, with equal
propriety, havo said tho same thing of
tho petty politicians who pervado the
county. Of cou'rsoi with this systematic
corruption, there can bo no success
and ought (o be tione. Whole, organized
societies, nnd other bodies of men.nro
bought up, nnd therefore tho party that
is most reckless and unprincipled In
tho uso of money succeeds. Lot tho
system of free Voting bo applied to
theso fellows, and then their baseness
and corruption will bo crushed to tho
earth, and honest pcoplo will onco moro
havo their way.
For tho causes adverted to, tho Dem
ocrats lose a Congressman in n Demo
cratic district. Were tho peoplo of Lu
zerne ulono effected by this result, it
would bo of small consequence, but a
voto In Congress may be of tho utmost
importance to all tho peoplo of tho Na
tion, and tho result of this corruption is
therefore to be deplored.
Tho defeat of Judge Woodward, for
tho President Judgeship, is mortifying
to all who take deep interest in the
ability, integrity and respectability of
the Judiciary. Ilo would honor any
bench and bo a credit to any people.
Ho would elevato nnd dignify any Ju
diciary. Yet ho is beaten by a petty
demagogue, who Is successful by low
arts and bald corruptions! Of course,
It is tho people, and not Judge Wood
ward, who are disgraced by tho result.
When tho electing power Is so grossly
reckless and corrupt, what are pcoplo
to expect from tho bench? It Is but
poor consolation that the rogues may
suffer as much by tho result as honest
men. What is wanted In the case, by
all classes, is an honest, able and incor
ruptible Judiciary.
It is not for us to undertake to lecture
or admonish tho Democracy of Luzerne.
We hope, howover, that they will take
such decided action as will hereafter ro
Hovo their friends In other parts from
tho misfortune of dofeat and chagrin.
.Thanksgiving'.
The President has Issued a proclama
tion appointing Thursday, November
24th, as a day of Thanksgiving "for tho
bounty, of God during tho year about to
cioso and to supplicate for its continu
ance hereafter."
Last year the President ventured to
appoint a daydifforent from tho ono
universalis observed (after a fashion)
by Yitnkeedorn.but this year ha has
submitted to' New' England whines and
accepted their day'! the last Thursday
of November. A reliable account of its
orlgtri runs about us' follows :
Tho Massachusetts colony were or
pretended to'be In a' starving condition,
or w6ro' apprehenslv'o of 'It, whonthoy
eoncliii.ed to rnako a raid Into the Indl
anfceo'uhtry to endeavor to obtain pro
visions. FIrialiythcy found a Consider
able nuantity- of Indian corn rudely
stowed away and partially covered with
leaves. No Indians belnp about thoy
stolo tho corn and returned homo re
joicing. To make the thoit look respect-
ablo and consistent with Yankeo reli
gion, they declared that tho Lord had
discovered it to them, and they there
fore offered up public thanks. Tho oc
curence took placo on the last Thurs
day of November, which is now ob
served as an anniversary, nnd therefore
tho indignation at President Grant
last year for appointing a different day,
Tho favorite Yankee mode of observing
it Is by eating pumpkin pies, drlmdng
skim milk and sticking their twanged
noses Into other people's business.
By many people in this Stato the day
is observed with becoming religious
services and devotion.
A. Rich Dodge 1
A few days ago it was announced by
telegrapli that Senator Cameron had
an attack of paralysis, but in a day or
two a contradiction followed. In tho
mean tlmo, tho newspapers that felt so
disposed had a raro opportunity for In
dulging In Cameronlan puffs, a small
luxury of which tho Senator is remark
ably fond. Col. Forney oven had the
satisfaction of heralding that ho had
dined on.tho same day with tho Bona
tor, and that tho meal 'was "exceeding
ly well served." That a sort of paraly
sis, of short duration, and of not very
serious moment, should occur after
such Indulgence is nothing new under

before, and oven dreamed of itl Big
dinners nnd big drink?, swallowed and

But tho Ptilludelphla Sunday Morning
(a quito creditable source) gives this
version of tho 'matter : At the aforesaid

THE COLUMBIAN
Constitutional Convention.
Tho papers of nil parlies nro ndvocn"
ling the olectlou of u Stato Convention
to revise the Constitution. That such n
Convention, If composed of a majority
of really ublo hnd honest men, might
do much good, wo do not doubt. But
that men offeucli character would bo
elected under tho present system wo
very much doubt. Should n Conven
tion bo called, wo hopo it may bo elect
ed upon tho free voting plan, ns lu that
caso it would no doubt bo composed al
most entirely of tho Very best men of
tho State. Such Convention would
havo tho power or regulating matters
In some manner that would to a groat
extent prevent Leglslatlvo corruption,
nnd in fact onco more mako tho Legis
lature itself respectable This alono Is
nsufllcicnt inotlvo for assembling tho
Convention, but other improvements
could a'so bo made.
Tho following remarks on tho subject
wc cut from tho Lancaster Intelligencer.
Tho ideas are in tho main sound, but
Wo object to tho suggestion of electing
tho Stato Treasurer "by tho pcoplo."
Udder 'that plan, In Its practical work
ing, "tho peoplo" would havo but Ilttlb
to do with It, but tho selection wouiil
necessarily bo left to partisan Conven
tions. Such would bo tho" magnitude
of the pecuniary Interest lnvolvcd.that
corrupt mon would bo sure to corrupt
tho Conventions, as Ihey do now tho
Legislature. Similar' Federal officers
are appointed by tho President, and wo
know of no ovll arising from it. In our
Judgment, tho Auditor General, Survey
or General and Stato Treasurer ought
nil bo appointed by tho Governor, nail
should (with the Secrotary of tho Com
monwealth and Attorney General) form
a responsible Cabinet. Wo would givo
them all seats In tho popular branch of
tho Legislature, without votes, but to
bo required to answer every proper
question rclatlug to their several de
partments that might bo nddrossed to
them. Tho political opponents of theso
gentlemen would then have tho power
to"keep tho peoplo thoroughly advised
of the manner in which each depart
ment of their Stato Government was con
ducted, and of courso this power would
be freely exerclsod. That the Governor
of tho Stato would mako n hotter selec
tion for each of theso offices than 000,000
men can.Isjustassuro n3 that ono com
pctant man may know tho peculiarities
of a personal acquaintance better than
COO.000 can. Under this plan no Gov
ernor would dare to appoint cither an
Incompetent man or a roguish ono, for
Ids political opponents In tho Legisla
ture would bo sure to expose tho delin
quent officer in such manner as to bring
odium upon tho appointing power.
Without discussing this subject fur
ther, wo desire to call attention to tho
suggestions of tho ljnQnstar,fnkUigen
cer, to wit:
Legislative powers should bo restrict
ed to tho enactment of general laws,aud
tho power or granting dinners to cor
porations bo left to tho courts, witli
proper restrictions.
No bill should bo allowed to pass ex
cept after being printed nnd put on ille,
and then only on call of tho yeas and
nays by a clear majority Of the members
elect.
All increased expenditures for ordi
nary purposes should, require a two-
third voto on call of yeas and nays, and
no increase should bo madd to tho State
dobt withot tho sanction of a popular
vote, excopt in ease of war or insurrec
tion.
Tho sessioii of tho Legislature should
bo limited 'and tho s'alarles of members
and officers bo fixed by tho Constitu
tion.
Every rnoraber should bo required to
swear, before taking his seat, that ho
nau not ciirecuy or lnuircctiy promiseu
anything of valuo'to secure his election
and that ho' would not receive anything
in consideration of any official act.
The Statu Treasurer should bo.made
clectivo by tho people for a torm of
years, and tho fuutis of tho Stato be
placea beyond ttie reach or speculation.
These are a few of tho amendments
to our State Constitution which experi
ence has shown to bo absolutely neces
sary, but there aro others which could
do readily suggested.
A Convention, culled to amend tho
State Constitution, oueht to bo chosen
in accordanco with a system which
would Insure a fair representation of tho
minority, as wen n tno majority in ov
ery section of tho Commonwealth, and
all mere partizan considerations ought
to bo cast nsldo by tho pcoplo In tno
cholco of delegates. The very best and
wisest men of tho Stato, nnd none oth
ers, ought to bo selected for this Import
ant wori..
In one respect tho work of the pro
posed convention onght to be funda
mental. The present system of choos
Ine Congressmen. Members of tho Leg'
islature, County Commissioners, City
and Borough Councllmen, and similar
bodies oueht to bo broken up. and
plan adopted by which tho minority
would bo fairly represented.
Wo are glad to bo able to say that tho
newspaper press of Pennsylvania is
very largely in favor of tho Immediate
nuoption oi uu tno rciorms wo navo in
dicated. And nnv other Judicious
amendments to thu Stato Constitution
which mightbosuggested would receivo
tno support oi tno press una tue peopiu
wunout respect to party.
Tho Congressional Vote in Bradford.
From tho timo It was ascertained that

that othor and earlier means were' also

Tho Earthquake.
Tho shock of an cnrthiiuakc. which
fpim! across the Atlantic hIodo ou tho
EOlh Inst., kept tho muni track so far iw
Iho news of its progress has come lo
hand. Its occurrence during a period
of violent surface phenomena lends
rorco to tno theory tnat mere is an inn
mate connection between surfacnHtorms
and subterranean commotions. The
West India Islands were but tho other
day tho theatre of a slorm of wind and
rain almost unprecedented. A fow
days earlier n great rainfall carried
dcatli and destruction through' somo of
tho fairest portions of Virginia. Mon
day night a great storm swept tlibon
tiro chain of great lukos on our north
ern frontier, causing frightful destruc
tion of life and property. Tho shock of
earthquake, following bo closo upon
thoso great storms, Justified belief In
tho similarity, if not Identity, of.causes.
The shock was felt in Cleveland at
about seven o'clock, and was so violent
that tho pcoplo rushed Into tho street
In great alarm. Tho samo shock wns
felt In Mcadvlllo a fow minutes later,
but wo have no particulars. Tho wnvo

violent. At Schenectady tho shock was
so violent that tho swaying of buildings
was perceptible, nnd tho peoplo rushed
for tho streets in confusion nnd alarm.
The shock at Montreal wns coincident
as to time, and tho effects ns marked as
at Schenectady. At Now York tho
shock was scarcely less violent nnd
caused great excitement. At Boston
walls were cracked, and tho emptying
of houses was general. At Burlington
