Tho offlclal returns of tho election, for
this county, na mado up by tlio return
Judges, appear In nnotlicr column and
verify our Btulciuont of last week, made
in ndvanco of tho oillclal count, that tho
Doraocratlc mnjorlly hi this county on
tho State ticket was about 1S0O, ami
that nil tho candidates upon tho Demo
cratic county ticket wero olected. The'
exact majority for McCanMiEss for
Auditor Goneral Is 1770, or but 2 1 below
1800, and this flno majority Is obtained
upon a voto which was necessarily light
in tho county. In 18G8 tho total voto
polled for Presidential Electors In Co
lumbia county was, C1C5, upon which
tho majority for Heymouu Electors was
l'-JO. Jfoto, tho tolal voto polled Is but
47, upon which tho majority for Mi1
Oandmss Bhould bo only 1 lot If Itboro
thosrtmo relation to tho wholo voto that
tho majority of 1SC3 boro to tho wholo
voto of that year. In other words, our
present majority runs U2o abovo tho
number required by tho standard of
1H'5S. Or courso It Is not posslblo to se
cure n full voto of tlio peonlo In years
when neither a President or Governor
nro chosen, but In tho present lnstanco
our lucreaso of party strength Is so great
that even a light voto but slightly af
fects tho magnltmlo of our mnjorlty.
It Is evident that upon n full vote, this
year, our majority would havo exceeded
i!,000.
As to tho other majorities for nomi
nees upon tho Democratic ticket, they
vary greatly In amount. Commencing
with a majority of 109 for Sir. Lamon
for County Treasurer, wo rlso to ono of
9j1 for Mr. Bryson for District Attor-
ney, and then successively to, ono of
13SS for Mr. Shaffer for County
Commissioner, to ono of 1 195 for Judgo
Deiik for ro-clectlon, and lastly, to ono
of 18G5 for dpt. Brockway for Repre
sentative. But whllo thoso majorities
vary very greatly in magnltudo they
yet show distinctly tlio fact that a clear
majority of tho voters of tho county
havo decided that volunteering shall
stop in our local elections, or at all
events shall not bo successful if tried.
Tho valuoof this decision for tho future
is vastly abovo any personal Interest In
volved in this election. For iustanco,
In tho great elections of 1672 for Presi
dent and Vlco-Prcstdent, for Governor
of tho Stato nnd for Members of Con
gress, our party must not bo divided
and troubled by local contests but must
bo thoroughly united and concentrate
nil Its efforts upon tho work beforo it.
But this most vital object can only bo
secured by a distinct understanding by
friend and foo that nominations aro to
bo respected, nnd that opposition to
them shall bo discouraged and defeated.
It is satisfactory to obscrvo upon the
faco of tho returns that tho Stato ticket
was fully nnd -faithfully supported in
every district, ns was also tho Demo
cratic nominco for Bcprcsentativo, and
that tho opposition in our ranks to tho
nominees for Assoclato Judgo nnd
County Commmlssioner was compara
tively slight. But wo cannot understand
why any intelligent, slnccro Democrat
could glvo his support to nn open and
actlvo Itopubllcan for tho ofilco of Dis
trict Attorney. Thcro va3 no question
ns to Sir. Buyson's nomination, and ho
was quito as conipctont as his Republi
can opponent for tho duties of tho ofilco.
Ho lias a rospcctablo majority -, It will
do as it stands, but it should havo been
moro.
It was expected, (and tho result shows
tho fact) that Mr. Lamon would bo
cut moro than any ot tho other candi
dates, aud his majority mado tho lowest
upon tho list ; and In f.ict if ho had not
rocoived somo independent support from
Republicans who know and esteemed
him in Bloomsburg, Scott, Berwick,
Ac, his majority would havo boon still
further reduced and placed nt a low
figure In his caso tho regularity or
fairness of his nomination was assailed
and wo aro bound to bollovo that n
largo number of Democrats voted
against him for that reason, resting
under tho Impression that somo wrong
had been dono to his competitor in tho
County Convention. It was unfortunate
that tho caso admitted of controversy
and was liable to bo misunderstood,
But in fact tho nomination was entirely
regular ; was mado exactly according
to tho rules, ami tho votes of tho Locust
delegates, (which wero complained of,)
received a strong endorsement from tho
pooplo of that township nt tho recent
election, To us, tho question whother
ono man or another shall bo chosen to
a county olllco Is not ono of deep inter
est. We bellovo It to bo tho duty of
a party newspaper to glvo nil candidates
impartial treatment boforo nominations
nro mado, but after they nro mado to
support tho ticket against assaults from
any quarter, and this duty which wo
havo pcrforraod for tho regular noml
ncos In tho Iatocanvass wo would havo
performed for their rivals If tho latter
had boon placed In nomination. And
this duty wo shall nt all times perform.
It will bo seen from tho roturnthut
tho voto in this county was nlmost
unanimous In favor of n Constitutional
Convention. Tho Stato ticket mostly
used by volunteer candidates or their
supporters It seems had not a Conven
tion voto upon it, so that tho voto on
tho Convention question Is not full.
Tills nroso from Inadvotanco was an
oversight and does not Indicate hostili
ty to reform. Tho Convention is car
ried by a very heavy majority In tho
Stato. t
The Carlisle Volunteer sums up tho
causo of tho defoat of tho Democratic
party in that county nnd tlio consequent
loss of tho Stato Sonato. 1st, tho " now
depnrturo "2d, voters wero bought up
openly at from flvo dollars per head
upwards, llko hogs in tho market 3d,
tho Crawford county system or nomi
nating, which oncondored so much ill-
foellne that It was Impossible to unlto
tho party on its nominees. Tho lesson
Is a dqar ono, but Is ljopcd may not bo
lost.
Tun President "goes for" tho Ku
Klux with n vengeance. "Wonder If ho

Tlio licsiilt hi tlio Klrtlc.
Wo Impo no Democrat will bo dis
couraged by tho disaster (hat has Just
occurred to tho party In this Stato. It
can bo remedied. Tho Immediate causo
of our defeat Is that tho full voto was
not out, and tho Radicals turned out
better than tho Democrats did. Tho
causo for this Is not to bo found In ono
fact but In sovoral.
ThoMinklng "new departure" and
tho suggestion of Chase by prominent
newspapers and politicians n tho Denu
ocrallc csnilldato for President, had a
most material demoralizing lnllttcnco
upon tho parly, nnd bo completely ills-
gusted thousands of Democrats that
they could not bo luducod to attend tho
polls, They would not voto ngalnst
their parly but coutd not bo Induced to
do that which might bo construed to
favor such miscrablo schemes, and
thoroforo staid nt homo. Evun many
of thoso who went to tho election did
not work with their accustomed energy
and cared llttlo for success. '
Mr. William A. Wallace does not
possess tho peculiar ability noccssary to
tho proper conduct ofa closo campaign,
nor does ho generally possess that con
lldenco of tho party or of tho people
that Is necessary to success. Ifo Is es
teemed a "smart" politician, n whllller
from point to point for tho sako of suc
cess, a cunning worker looking to art
for success rather than tho establish
ment of correct principles or nppoals to
tho bobcr reason and Judgment of tho
people. Wo do not propose todlsciHs
his mcrlls, hut only to give tho true
reasons for our defeat. What wo hero
stato regarding him Is ono great causo
(of Itself sulllclont cause) of our defeat.
IIo has been often tried In tho samo
position and tho trial has resulted In
uniform defeat, excepting accidental
success In 1807. ills acknowledged that
tho chairman of 1SC9-70 contributed
llttlo to success, yet tho party did much
bettor In thoso years, practically with
out leadership, than it did with Sir.
Wallace's lend, IIo rtdscs tho most
powerful nntngonUms without provid
ing for dofenco against or successful at
tack upon them. In tho recent cam
paign tho Democratic press of tho Stato
begged for tho information and proof,
whlclvcould havo been obtained with
proper effort, that would establish tho
recklessness, extravagance nnd corrup
tion of tho administration nt Washing
ton, yet their demand was treated with
contempt. Instead, a serious effort was
mado to get on to the Radical platform,
and practically to convince tho public
thnt tho wholo political effort was only
to obtain tho ofllccs I
Tho conduct of certain Democratic
scoundrels lu New York city, who In
ofilco robbed tho pooplo, was of courso
held up by tho Radicals as an off sot to
tho plundering of their own ofllclnls,
and to a largo extent was received by
tho peoplo as such. Sober reflection
will dispel this Illusion, for thcro Is this
marked difference between tho parties,
to wit : tho Democrats will discard and
punish their oillclal scoundrels who rob
tho peoplo, whllo tho Republican party
will sustain theirs and will again put
them up to bo MHtaincd nt tho elec
tions I
Through tho means of tho offices they
hold and tho robberies they commit
upon tho public tho Republicans aro
enabled to raiso an Immenso fund for
election purposes. During tho late
campaign, much of this was expended
in inducing Democrats in nearly till our
strong counties to becomo volunteer
candidates, nnd thus dl vido and weaken
us. Tills gamo has worked largely to
tho advantage of tho Republicans, aud
thero are few Democratic counties that
escaped its consequences. Hero In Co
lumbia, wo have an exception, but it
was tho firmness, Intelligence nnd pa
triotism of our party hero that mado It
nu exception. This gamo cannot bo
played again, for people's eyoj will bo
opened to It,
In Philadelphia, from six to ten
thousand votes and possibly a grcator
number aro counted ngalnst us that
woro never polled by legitimate voters.
Thcro tho peoplo nro not allowed to
elect their election ofllcers, but all nro
appointed by tho board of Aldorman of
tho city, n majority of whom uro Radi
cals. Although thoy aro required to
appoint ono Democrat In threo of tho
ofllcers, they select such as are Incom
petent, or would not bo acknowledge
by tho regular Democrats as belonging
to them or nro petty villains that can
bo bribed to do any thing. With offi
cers selected lu this manner, of courso
tho vuto can bo mado to nppear what
ever tho Radical magnates will It to bo.
Even fairly disposed Republicans ac
knowledged tho wrongfulness of this
plan, and prouiUo to assist In amend
ing It during the ensuing Legislature.
Wo lmvo thus pointed out what wo
conceive to bo tho main reasons for our
defeat. Other causes of less conso
queuco nldcd too. The "now depart
ure" folly causes us tho loss of tho Son
ato, having almost solely produced our
defeat In tho Cumberland and Franklin
district. Wo gained largoly thero last
year becauso of tho negroes voting.
This would of courso recoil when wo
rellngulshcd opposition to It. Tlio Io3s
of that Senator will enablo tho Radicals
of. the Legislature to mako such Con
gressional apportionment ns they ploesc,
They will please to rob us of at least
half tho representation In Cougress to
which we are entitled.
Tho best nud most worthy, and In tho
end moat successful soldiers, are thoso
who nro never discouraged by defeat,
Tlio majority In tho Stato is but a small
per centago against in. alvo us now
men at tho helm glvo us able leaders
who will look to tlio Interosts of tlio
country alone men who havo no self
ish purposes to subsorvo, and who will
thoroughly Invcstlgato and expose tho
actions of the Federal ofllclals, nnd
provo to tho pooplo tho wrongs that nro
being perpetrated upon them by tho
laws adopted by tho Radicals, as woll
03 by the separate action of tho Radi
cal ofllclals, and fully oxposo the iujury
being dono to tho country through thorn
nnd tho dangers to which their actions
oxposo tho best Interests and tho liber
ties and rights of tho pooplo. Wo want
men who will look Into ovory act of
tho Radical parly nnd lay baro the con
scquoncosof each separato moasuro, and
also tho corruptions by means of which
thoy nro passed and maintained, and
who will let no Item or Radical official
rascality cscapo being oxposod In such
manner as to compel conviction.
But lot no Democrat bo at present
discouraged I Tho next Stato conven
tion It may bo hoped will place abler
and more energetic men nt tho holm
and glvo us a platform that no Demo
crat need bo nshamod of. With that
starting polntf and candidates who
command tho public respect nnd confl
deuce, tho Democracy can nnd will
carry tho Blato, and ono complcto Dem
ocratic victory In Pennsylvania will
put nu end to tho present Radical pitrtjr
forever.

Tho Democratic majority In Columbia
county, this year, Is corlnlnlyn patriotic
number 1770.
Tho "Now Departure" docs not seem
to "pay expenses" lu this Stato or else
where. Whon will tho moro tricksters
of politics learn that their vocation Is
not to run tho Democratic party? In
this county, whero tho 'now departuro'
was openly donouncod by us, our ma
jorlty on tho Stnto ticket Is excellent.
In the Judicial district composed of
Union, Snyder and Sllfllln counties,
JosiH'H O. Bucheu, Esq,, Domocrat, Is
elected President Judgo by n majority
oft) votes, over Judgo Woods, who ran
for reolectlon as tho Republican candi
date. Tho Republican majority In tho
district, nt tho last election for Gover
nor, was 92. It Is to no noted that lu
Sllfllln, whero Woods resides, Uuonnit
runs nhoadof tho rest or tho Democratic
ticket, ns honlsodooi In Union, whoro
ho resides himself.
In Luzornc, tho limited voto Is oitab
llshed, by title, fur tho making of Dem
ocratic nominations. Mich election dis
trict has two or three delegates, accord
ing to Its Democratic vote, but each
voter voles for but ono delegate, ho that
delegates nro commonly divided be
tween candidates lu cases of contest.
This plan of proportional representation
gives nn Improved convention, and the
parly nominations nro, upon tho whole,
moro satisfactory than they wero for
merly. Hence, In tho present year of
goncrnl Infidelity to party nominations,
tho Democracy of that county havo tol
erably well maintained themselves and
won a substantial triumph.
In Northumberland county tho wholo
Democratic county ticket Is beaten by
Republican and volunteer candidates.
This Is tho con3cqueuco thero of tho
Crawford county system of nomination,
which has disorganized our party and
quito disgusted all decent mon. Tho
utter collapso of this vicious plan of
nomination will glvo room for a better
one, under which tho Democracy of
Northumberland will recover their pro
per standing aud supremacy in tho
county.
In Slontour county tho Democratic
county ticket is elected with tho excep
tion or tho candldato for county com
missioner, who Is beaten by four votes.
Tho majority upon tho Stato ticket is
310. In tlio representative district,
composed of Slontour and Northum
berland counties, Chalfant and Gal
LAQliEii, tho Democratic candidates,
wero both beaten, tlio former by 193,
and tho latter by 941. In tho same
counties, composing a Judicial district,
Rockefeller, Republican, for Presi
dent Judgo, has a majority of 1,320 over
E. G. Scott, tho Democratic nominee.
Sullivan county gives COO Democratic
majority upon tho Stato ticket and for
Representatives, but a part of tho Dem
ocratic county ticket is defeated. Dr.
John SI. Haycock is chosen County
Treasurer by a majority of 173 1 Alas 1
poor Sullivan 1
Lycoming goes Democratic by 120 up
on tho Stato ticket, but wo loso ono can
didate for Assoclato Judgo, and the
candidates for Sheriff and Protliono-
tary. In this Immediate- section of tho
State, Columbia Is tho only county that
elects every candldato upon its local
Democratic ticket and maintains, also,
its full majority upon tho Democratic
Stato ticket! It remains, as of yore,
tho steadfast, over bright-shining "Star
of tho North 1"
Tho sympathy excited In behalf of
Sir. Eveuitt becauso ho had been
thrust Into prison by tho Radicals du
ring tho war, helped him to many
Djmocratic votes. Wo havo no right
to object to tho tnslo of tho Radicals in
supporting n candidate who mado that
his platform. In fact, wo nro rather
disposed to congratulato tho Radicals
upon this evidence of repontenco and
reform- Slay wo not expect lhom,nt
somo near futuro period, to support the
wholo Democratic ticket upon tho
ground oLKadical wrong-doing during
nnd since tho war? If they deem it
their duty now to support men thoy
Imprisoned then, thoy ought on tho
same princlplo to support tho party
now they persecuted then.
Election Illo-t ami Murder In Philadelphia,
A riot occurred in Philadelphia on
election day which resulted In the death
of two or three persons and tho wonnd
Ing of many more. Ono of tho killed
was 1'rof. CATTO,au,cducated and lead
ing negro. IIo does not oven seem to
havo dono any thing to provoko nn as
sault, much less (o justify assassination.
Largo rewards nro offered for tho appre
hension of his murderer, nud It is
scarcely possible that ho can escape.
Whllo wo nro firmly opposed to confer
lug suffrago upon negroes, wo maintain
that they nro as much entitled to pro
tection lu their natural and conferred
rights as other people. In tho exercise
of nuy of these they must havo tho
samo protection ns white- people, and
any wrong perpetrated upon them
should bo as promptly redressed. Wo
hope tho murderer lu this caso may bo
promptly arrested, convicted and exe
cuted. Tho question of tho propriety of
negro suffrago has nothing to do with
tho duo execution of tho law against
the murderer.
Catto's death is particularly to bo
regretted because ho was much better
educated than nearly nil others of his
race and wns devoting his advantages
and ability to raising his brethren, If
possible, from their present low estate
IIo exercised much influence ovor thorn,
and wo aro bouud to say that lufluenco
was for good.
It Is not tho negro who Is to blamo
for Intruding him upon usnsa voter.
That blamo attaches solely to whllo
men tho negro never asked It and
tho public well know to what white
mno. It Is thoy who must justly bear
all tho sins that follow In thewakoof
negro suffrage, Tho negro can not oven
bo Justly consured for exercising a right
voluntarily conferred upon him by a
raco who claim to bo his superiors, and
whllo thero Is a law enacted by whllo
men which declares ho may voto ho Is
entitled to full and comploto protection
in tho exercise of that right. In any
case his life must bo protected upon nn
oxnet equality with thnt of tho wdto
man.
Dr. Stniiton-Oiico More.
After tho election tho editor of the
Wyoming Journal sends us his paper of
September 13, containing what purports
to bo biographical sketches of Stanton
nnd Beatk. Substantially tho editor's
narrative sustains overythlng wo hnvo
over said ns regards tho military po
sition nnd history of tho gentlemen
named. Stanton was appointed Sur
geon In tho 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry
(Reserve) In August, 1801, by Gov.
Cuivtin. This appointment did not
glvo him position In tho U. 8. army,
but lu November, 1S02, ho was appoint
ed by President Lincoln ;(nomlnally,
but by tho Secretary of War In fact) to
tho U. S. Volunteers, ns Surgeon, and
was ordered to Columbus, Ohio, whcio
ho remained two years, according to tho
Journal, which brings bU history up to
Novcmbor, 1S03. Then ho was chanced
to Cincinnati. Six mouths thereafter
(summer of 1801) ho was sent loJ)clroil,
on Lako Michigan, whero ho remained
till the war wns over 1 Not ono word Is
said as to his having been In or near any
battle, or as to performing hospital or
other duties in the Mill Yot his undo
repeatedly promoted him nnd ho left
tho nrmy a Colonel I lie never eerved
in it as such, nud never held military
command! All mallei! ofllcers hold
military rank, to fix their pay, but do
not command troops or cxcrclso the au
thorlty of ofllcers of tho line.
It may bo hero remarked that the
Philadelphia Press had moro respect for
accuracy than to palm tho Radical can
dldato for Auditor G moral off ns Colo
nel, nud Invariably spoke of him as
Doctor Stanton.
Wo havo only to sum up to wit
Stanton nover served on tho Hold,
never saw or heard n battle, spont all
tho tlnio of tho war In northern S tates,
and was Indebted to his undo for nil his
promotions. Tho Wyoming Journal's
own history proves those facts, nnd Its
uugcntlcmanly epithets only recoil up
on Its editor. Such weapons very cer
tainly do not affect us If tho editor or
tho Journal chooses to placo himself
whero tho uso or them ranks him It Is
no business or ours.
Another word. Wo always carefully
look over our exchanges and rend their
editorials. Wo did not noto tho Jour
nal's history of Stanton, no doubt for
the reason that It contained no Informa
tion regarding him that wo had not
given to tho public. Its absurd and
puerllo attempt to glvo Stanton's mil
itary position a meritorious aspect was
of courso not worthy of observation.
Luzerne CoiintjIliiljerj- at Elections.
In Luzerno county tho wholo Demo
cratic ticket Is elected, except Kisneii,
wr Representative. Fahkish, Radi
cal, had over 1200 majority in tho
county for Senator, but, thanks to the
sterling honesty of tho Democrats of
Monroo nnd Pike, ho is defeated in tho
District by nbout 1,000 majority. Not
only thanks to them for tho political
ndvantago maintained by them, button
thousand times grcator thanks for stop
ping tho tldo of corruption 1 Luzerno
yielded to FAitmsn's money, but Slon-
roo aud Plko wero Invulnerable.
Thero ought to bo n law to prevent
any man from holding an olllco ob
tained by tho usoof money; and bribery
nt elections, or furnishing money that
Is used In that way, ought to bo mado a
penitentiary oll'ence. Stronger guards
must bo thrown nround tho ballot-box
or instead of obtaining au expression of
tho will or tho peoplo by means of tho
ballot It will becomo tho direct means
of preventing tho expression of that will
nnd of corrupting the public. Tako this
Luzerno result ns nn exnmplo : tho voto
ror Senator simply indicates that ono
candldato had sufficient pecuniary abil
ity and disposition depraved enough to
buy so many voles that righUuliy be
longed to his opponent, and that thero
wero so many voters baso enough to
sell themselves I Tho will of the people
Is by no means expressed in tho Sena
torial voto In Luzerne, and but for tho
integrity of tho peoplo of Slonroo and
Plko would hnvo been entirely set nt
naught.
Preparing for lic-clcdioii.
President Ghant has declared mar
tial law lu so) oral counties of South
Carolina, and has suspended tho writ of
habeas corpus therein, beeau30 the citi
zens (it is nllefced) rofusod to glvo up
their prlvolo arms, which they defined
necessary to tho protection of their fam
ilies. Tho latter deny that thero havo
been any unusual outrages in thocoun
tics concerned, or melt ns the courts
could not cornet. Tho declaration of
martial law is mado upon demand of
U, S. Senator Scott, of this State, nnd
not nt the request of tho peoplo most
deeply interested, nnd Is clearly a poli
tical dodgo. Whenever Quant makes
up his mind that ho cannot otherwlso bo
ro-elected ho will declaro martial law
throughout tho South and In necessary
northern localities too.
Supposo the peoplo of Columbia
county wero required to deliver up
their arms within flvo days, how many
would do It V
Tlio Chicago 1'irc.
Nearly oiio half of tho Immense- city
was destroyed perhaps moro than one
half Its value. Hanging a few speci
mens put a stop to Incendiaries, but tho
thloves wero not so easily quelled ; 25
to 00 or tho latter wero shot, many
moro wero arrested, but still they con
tinued their depredations.
Immedlato efforts will bo mado to re
build tho city on a grander scalo than

peoplo opens to tho roller or tho suffer
ers, nud oven from Europo the contribu
tions aro heavy. In fact with tho In

But who sympathises with tho greater

Troublo is threatened nil over Europe,
At tho election lit Franco for mombcrs or
somo sort or constituent Congress, no
party obtained n decided majority over
nil, but tho different branches or tho
bo called Republicans will havo a largo
majority If combined, Tho Imperialists
nnd monarchists showed unexpected
strength. Their weakness Is evidently
their antagonism to each other. Wo seo
nothing ns yet to chango our oft ex
pressed conviction that Bonapartlsm
will ultimately prevail.
Spain Is threatening revolution, but
tho republicans now profess to havo
only peaccablo desires. No party there
Is willing to nward lndcpcndcnco to
Cuba.
Even in England thero Is strong ro
publican agitation. Tho Queen Is still
111 and it is generally credited that
her mind is seriously affected. Tho heir
apparent, Prlnco or Wales, Is unpopu
lar. In caso or the Queen's death, or
utter Incapacity, troublo is appro
bended. Attempts hnvo been made, but frus
trated, to burn Rome.
Prussia and Austria hnvo kissed and
mado friends, nnd tlio former is now
unquestionably tho arbiter of Europo.
Russia Is endeavoring to conciliate
Turkey, for what purposes remains to
bo seen.
Courage, Democrats !
Let thoso who feel despondent about
tho result of tho recent election benr in
mind that from 1SG3 to 18G9 tho Democ
racy wero uniformly beaten from 15,000
to 30,000 majority against them. In
1SG9 this largo majority was reduced to
llttlo ovor 4,000. Thoa 20,000 negro
votes wero ndded to tho Republican
strength aud yet wo nro now beaten
only 15,000. Sen. Hancock can carry
tho State noxt year I
Tjik "new departuro" was to carry
Philadelphia for tho Democracy. That
was tho great argument In its favor
when overythlng clso failed to Justify
it. A Radical majority of over 11,000
in the city shows that it was about ns
potential thero ns It was nearly overy
whero else, except whero It was repudi
ated. The Philadelphia delegation forced
tho "new departuro" on our Stato con
vention, alleging thnt It would largely
lucreaso our voto there. Over 11,000
Radical majority in tlio city thows that
it increased our voto thero as It did
every whero olso as tho b'hoys s.y, in
a. horn !
Tjiu great Floridlan land-sink Is pro
nounced a hoax. Thero Is, however, no
disputing tho great Congressional land-
sink hero In 'Washington, through
which moro than 2,000,000,000 acres of
tho people's hinds have gently nnd
noiselessly slipped out of sight.
Stop "lilcr.
This Is tho cry or tho peoplo to tho
Radical party. Will tho robbor bo
stopped at tho ballot-box ?
A plundered public domnnds tlio nr
rest or the criminal. Too long has ho
escaped the punishment duo his nefa
rious deeds j too long has ho exemplified
the plating of sin with gold, ngalnst
which " tho lanco cf Justlco hurtless
breaks."
But his Nemesis is aroused. Ills
crimes havo becomo too flagrant to bo
rurther endured. What a harvest this
rascal has reaped 1 Creeping Into our
confidence, as a sneak thief, ho has
becomo now tho full-fledged bold high
wayman. Whero docs ho not steal?
What limit Is thero to his pluudorlngs?
IIo robs tho national treasury.
His hands rovel at will among tho
coffers of tho State.
Ills thieving is manifested In cities
and counties nud boroughs.
IIo steals whorever thero Is anything
to steal.
Is It not tlmo that ho was arrested ?
That ho has not beforo been throttled
Is duo to what V
To tho lndllfercncoof his victims tho
result or tho demoralizing Inllucnco or
Radicalism. How effectually, too, has
hodlvertcd our attention by "patriotic"
strategy while ho played upon our
pockets I
And this Is nn luiluciitl.il thief. Even
tho Courts ho corrupts, and partisan
Judges tremblo and obey tho wishes of
this pirate. Magistrates of common
wealths are ready to savo from prison
taints tho Immaculato garments of tho
Thief.
But tho malefactor, whoso caso has
been so long postponed, comes uow to
tho Bar of Public Opinion,
Lot htm havo Justlco 1
Lot tho witnesses throng to tho ballot
box and hand lu their tostlmony. Tho
proof of tho criminal's guilt Is abun
dant. Tho plundored tax-payers can
furnish It.
Convlctod already, tho forni3 of trial
only remain, nud mi Injured and out
raged public- demands that these bo
observed, that tho verdict bo fairly
taken, and that tho Judgment thereon
bo honestly recorded.
Tho word, then, Is "stop thief I"
Shall ho not fall In ills tracks beneath
a shower of ballots, nover to plunder
moro?

Roman, Republicans In Italic, and Volunteers marked with n t.
A llctlcw.
To tho IMIInr of tho Columbian s
Sir ! It scorns to mo that right on tho
heels of n soniowhnt disastrous cam
paign, a statement of somo of thocnuscs
or that result may bo advantageous.
Tho nggrcgato Is made up or Individual
atoms, and In elections tho footings In
tho Stato nro mado up of tho separato
contributions of tho counties, thoy of
thoso of townshlps.and they or Individ
ual votes. So that after nil, tho unit
plays tho grand part lu tho column of
thousands. Ju3t nt this writing a dem
ocratic Judgo is claimed to bo elected In
a neighboring district by a majority of
one vote.
Upon tho result In tho Stnto wo may
make this remark and then pass on to
tho lcgitlmato purpo30 or this paper :
That tho Stato ticket was in ovcry way
unexceptionable; aud its defeat Is not
perhaps nttrlbutablo to tlio fact that a
clean majority In tlio State is ngalnst It;
but to tho fact of a light vole, and
mainly to somo reasons to bo given In
tho paragraphs following. To them I
request attention, for In them tho causo
of all our troublo lies.
Tho disturbance In tho political clo
ments produced by tho split nt Charles
ton In 1SG0, mado posslblo what had
nover beforo been possible In our his
tory. It mado promluent small men
It caused a civil war It produced enor
mous expenditures of money and it
originated nud fostered public and pri
vate corruption. Henco all our woos.
Tho lovo of money is tho root of nil
evil. Tho scramblo for ofilco and tho
Illegitimate gains of olllco has driven
from politics, in n' great degree, thoso
pure, honest nnd nblo men who ndorncd
tho public servico In tho early days of
tho Republic.
From tho Presidont of tho United
States down, tho taking of bribos, tho
giving of gifts nnd tlio peculations or
official place, aro tho rule. Tho peoplo
cannot bo honest who elect dishonest
rulers. In many cases thoso moil forco
themselves upon their respoctlvo par
ties, and tho members submit to uo rid
den by this old man of tho sea.
In many rases theso corrupt scoun
drels aro candidates, cither rogular or
volunteer, at tho bidding or hiring or
tho radical corruption fund. Thoy nro
mere tool3 in tho hands of opposition
party leaders.
In tho lato clcctlo.i in Columbia coun
ty tlio success of tlio ticket was un
doubtedly duo to Its oxcellent character.
Every man on It was honest, fnlthful
and competent. Personal qualifications
won tho raco. It Is a lesson by which
wo might profit otherwhere In ono
neighboring district wo lost tho Judgo
upon tho chargo or incompetency. I
bellovo It to havo boon ftlso In that ln
stanco; but It was consummate folly
for tho party to put Itself In a position
to havo that said of its candidate.
Good, admittedly good lawyers are not
so scarce, as to oxcuso such nomina
tions.
So, members of tho legislature- aro
lost, becauso they wero not' tho best
men who could bo had. Conventions
havo a right to chooso from tho wholo
body or tho county, ror any ofilco ; and
If proper men do not nnuounco them
selves, any citizen has n right to sug.
gest a namo for the consideration of the
public. No man has a right to a noml
nation by reason or partizan work, but
tho party has n right to call upon any
of its members to bear tho flag in tho
coming fray. Therefore bad nomina
tions, weak nominations, incompetent
nominations aro not excusable.
In tho good old days It wns said that
tho ofilco of President was neither to
bo sought nor declined, Tho chango In
tono and practlca Is well Illustrated by
Gen. Butler,who said tho ofilco or Gov
ernor was to bo sought nnd socurod by
all legitimate means. That could not
havo been said by n public man fifty
years ago.
Tho causo of. our defeat lu the State,
Is tho nomination In districts, of incom
potent, or corrupt or suspicious men.
Our peoplo will not support them, and
thoy aro too much llko republicans to
win support from their ranks. II all
our nominations had been as good as
thoy should hnvo been, tho nggrcgato
would havo given us victory, by secur
ing nil our own wtrcnglh, and wlurdng
tho honest men, if thero aro any, from
our opponents. Gehmanicus.
Radical negroes beat their own raco
from tho polls, at the lato election In
Philadelphia, who desired to voto tho
Democratic ticket, and that was tho
causo of tho disturbance. Tho blood
shed Is upon their heads. Tho murder
of Catto can bo traced directly to tho
Interference of Radical negroes with
Democratic negroes. It U Just so In
Washington nt ovcry election. Wash'
ington Patriot,
IN Cenlro county, whero tho Bello
fonto Watchman, the organ of the De
mocracy, so fiercely denounced tho
"now departure," there Is a Democratic
gain of 113 over tho majority of 1600.
P. Quay SIkkk, tho lighting editor of
tho organ, goes back to the Legislature
for the fourth term by n crcdllablo majority.
