the chastity of Cieau's wife, is not above
suspicion, should again be entrusted with the
executive duties of a great State, does not re
flect much credit on the wisdom and inlelli
geLce of the people.
It is very certain that the result of the
election in this State cannot be regarded as
a 'triumph for tho general administration.
The same may be said with equal truth of
the result in Ohio. Iu Pennsylvania Grant's
majority was 28,898 Geary's niaj irity over
Packer does not foot up one-sixth of that
uum' er, as is Indicated by the official returns
just published. In Ohio Gen. Grant's major-
ity was 40,017, and now Hayes, radical, is j
re-eiecteu uoveruor Dy oniy aooui b.uuu.-
These figures do not prove that the demo
cratic party is either dead or dying, but, on
the contrary, thut it possesses indomitable
neigy and a determined will. A party
which in one year after defeat, shows such
elasticity may indulge in a reasonable pride
in its strength, and fee! a certain confidence
in its ultimate success. Like the immoital
Old Guard" of Napoleon, it will never sur
render. That many of the leading radical organs
do not regard the result of the election in
this State as a triumph, but as a virtual de
feat, is quite apparent from their comments
thereon. The Philadelphia Telegraph speaks
in the following hopeless strain in regard to
the result:
"It U a discouraging fact, too, that in near
ly evry county in the State, outside of Phila
(itlphia, the vole for Geary falls iar behind
that polld for Llartranft in 1SG8. A dreary
succession of Republican looses is reported,
and the preliminary returns indicate that Uea
iy'a whole majority in the State will not ex
ceed the Republican gain effected in Philadel
phia alone, over the vote polled in October,

lieneral. 'One mure such victory and we are

Ibtid Ucut down to 4.0UU or 5,000, the manag
ing politicians cannot be too deeply impressed
wi.h the necessity of popular nominations heie
after." The same paper pays its respects to the
tucccibful candidate in tho follow ing pointed
but none the less truthful criticism :
"It was sheer madness to lisk unnecessary
dangers in the campaign which has just closed.
Geary's unfitness tor the Governorship was as
painfully evident as his uuuvailubility as a can
didate ; and while the Commonwealth abound
ed with men endowed with capacities inflinitely
superior to those which he possesses, scarcely
any man could have been nominated who would
have polled a smaller vote. Ttie only cause
we have for regret iu connection ith our course
in reference to his nomination is that our oppo
sition was ineffectual ; and, while we earnestly
rejoice in the triumph ot the Republican party,
we are sorry that its honors hav not fallen up
on a more able as well as mote pop ilar Exec
utive." The Philadelphia Inquirer observes on the
election statistics :
Judging from the stfjns indicated by the elec
tion, the only doubt that could be maintained
in referenco to the matter, might be as to the
feeliug8 and opinions of the IH.uOO persons who
refused, on the present occasion, to go to the
olli. They were either negligent or dissatis
fied. If the former was the case, no prognos
tication can be made as to what the may do
hnreaftcr.
Banner Counties,
We do not intend to make invidious com
parisons in reference to the result of the dem
ocratic vote at the recent election in any one
county at the expense of another. We can
not refrain, however, from referring in an
especial manner to Allegheny county. List
November Grant bad a majority of 10,816
in that strong republican county. At the
lart election Geary had only 4.557, or a lit-,
tie more than one half oi the republican ma
jority given less than one j'ear previously.
This result ought to command the respect
as well as the gratitude of the democracy of
the entire State. Although defeated, the
democracy of Allegheny can proudly say to
the democracy of the other portions of the
State, "You canuot Bay we did it!" All

The Philadelphia Fraud.
The radical return judges of the election
in Philadelphia have once more perpetrated
their seats.
We refer our readers to an article in an
other column, from the Evening Telegraph
of that city, on this subject. It is high re
publican authority. We fortify and strength
en it with the following editorial article from
that intensely radical sheet, the Philadelphia
Post. IIow true it is in politics that God
made the country and man made the town.
"It is charged that Republican r? seals have
in two cases committed the crime the Registry
law was intended to prevent. In the Thirteenth
Legislative district it is said that the certificates
of the vote in the KinUi division of the Seven
teenth ward was stolen and altered so that Mr.
Cei-z, the Republican candidate, might iiavca
ninjority in the district. In the First Senator
ial district it is also said that cheating was used

in the lower part oF the city, including the First

that Mr. Watt's majority in these wards vastly
exceeds that of Mr. Ashtou, who leads the Re
public in majority everywhere. In these wards
alone his joint ninjority over Mr. Asbtou is
It is alleged by Mr. Hirst, who appeared
before the Court of 'Common Pleas, that this
majority was secured by cutting dov n Mr. Dia
mond's vote two hundred in the Twenty sixth
ward. By such swindling, it in said, a in.ij.ni
ty of 17b' was given to Mi. Watt in the whole
Senatorial district. Now let us see who had

district, on the vote for Clerk of Quarter Ses

"Thus we find tho Democratic majoritT in
the wards of the First Senatorial district to be
281, and yet on the vote for Senator the Re
publican majority id said to be 176. To us the
discrepancy looks bad.
"We cannot afford to let the Republican par
ty bear the odium of the swindling it is pledged
to prevent. It would be better to let Demo
cratic rascals go unpunished than to let our own
escape. If it be proved that the vote in the
First Senatorial district has been tampered
with to defeat Mr. Diamond, and the guilty
nrties can be discovered, they should suffer
the extreme penalty of the law."
Pershing at Home,
It is very gratifying to announce that
where Cyrus L. Pershing is well known and
appreciated he has been generously sustained.
In the borough of Johnstown, where he re
sides, Grant received 706 votes and Seymour
328, giving Grant a majority of 378. In. the
same borough Williams received 583 votes
and Pershing 372 votes, thus giving Wil
liams a majority of 211, showing a gain for
Mr. Pershing in that borough of 1G7 votes.
Ia the southern districts of the county, in
cluding Johnstown, Grant had 1G88 votes
and Seymour 1359. showing Grant's major
ity to have been 329. In the same districts
Williams had 1372 votes and Pershing 1257,
being a majority for Williams of 115 and a
gain for Pershing over last November's elec
tion of 214. His majority in the county is
802 agaiust 650 for Packer.
The above figures conclusively show that
the people among whom Mr. Perilling re
sides, treated with sovereign contempt the
weekly insinuations of tho Johnstown Tri
bune against bis reputation and standing as
a lawyer. Although Mr. Pershing has been
defeated, he has reason to feel proud of the
support he received from his own neighbors
as well as from the voters of his own county.
The editor of the Johnstown Tribune.'in
his last paper, rej icing ever Geary's elec
tion, stigmatized Asa Packer as "the Connec
ticut carpet-bagger tcho would not pay hit
tares." The man who asserts that Asa
Packer ever refused to pay his taxes, 'u either
a fool or a knave, or perhaps both. And
what would the Tribune man say if this pa
per were to refer to his friends Daniel J.
Morrell and A. A. Barker as carpet-baggers
from Maine? We would scorn to do so

("communication J
Parents ana tbc Schools.
The public schools throughout the county
generally are now opening for the annual
term. By the first of November perhaps
fully nine-tenths of all our district schools
will be in operation. In view of this fact,
we beg totay a few words :
1. Parents should patronize the sdiools.
The'ol jrct of the common school economy is
to put the means of instruction in the com
mon and most necessary branches of learn
ing within the reach of all. To this end all
are taxed alike : those who have children to
be educated and those who have none. The
justness of this system is a question which
does not at all enter into our subject, though
it cannot be successfully. -disputed. Suffice
it to say that the syttem has been establish
ed, and for . more thaw the third part of a
century that it has been in operation, it has
met with the support and sympathy of the
public. Yet many parents do not take ad
vantage of the schools thm provided. Iu
many cases where parents are sufficiently
well off in this world's goods to do so, their
children are sent to private schools of differ
ent kinds. This is all right enough. Pa
rents have, and it is to be hoped they always
will have, the privilege of educating their
offspring where they please ; but the persons
to whom we allude are those who never fend
their children to any school, either public or
private.
We doubt,, and we believe that every in
telligent man doubts, the moral right of any
parent to allow his children to grow up with
out some education. We think the duty of
educating his child properly and as far as he
is able to do so, rests upon every parent. It
is a duty which he owes to himself, his child,
his conntry, and his God. While we do not
claim that an intellectual education is alone
sufficient, yet we do claim that there is in it
"a savor of life." We deny that an educa
tion of the head alone makes men scoundrels
and sharpers ; and where the enemies of such
education point to one Eugene Aram or Pro
fessor Webster, we can poifit to a thousand
uneducated, brutish "Bowerv Boys" and
"Dead Rabbits."
Perhaps not over three-fourths of the chil
dren of school-age of Pennsylvania are en
rolled upon the books of any institution of
learning, either public or private. And of
those who are enrolled, at leatt we can safely
speak of those who are enrolled upon the
bi&ok of our common Bchools, the atten
dance of many is merely nominal. Lt us
take our own county as an example: For
the school 3ear .1807,, the per cent, of at
tendance at our public schools .was 60; for
1808, it was C8. Here it is true was a gain
of 8 per cent., which would be gratifying
Indeed were it not conpled with the fact that
there was a falling off in the latter year of
338 pupils from the year before. It cannot
be that there were fewer children in the
conuty in 1808 than in 1867. The solution
of the difficulty may be that the 338 nou
reportera were of thote who the year before
came to school just often enough to keep
their names upon the monthly reports and
reduce the per cent, of attendance to a little
over one-half. Every teacher kcows that
in every district just such pupils are found ;
and, so far as the interests of ti e school are
concerned, they are better absent than pre
sent. 2. Parents should patronize the schools
note. The term in nearly all our rural
districts is but four months. It is impossi
ble at present to make the term longer.
Hence, if parents wish to have all tho bene
fits of the schools, they should enter their
children at the beginning of the term. Pu
pils who do not enter until the schools have
been sometime in operation, rest under a
disadvantage throughout the whole term.
The time they have lost they cannot make"
up. The lessons which were learned before
they entered, they must either omit, get over
them hurriedly and but partially, or remain
in the background all winter. The term is
too short to lose any part of it. We earn
estly hope that every parent will try to have
his children at school this winter, have them
there at the start, and keep them there as
regularly as possible.
It will not cost any more. In fact, it wil!
cost less. We make that appear in this
way : The expense of teaching each scholar
was last year just 82 cents per month. If
instead of C8 per cent, attendance there had
been 100 per cent., the total expense would
have been the same; but the cost of each
would have been only about 56 cents per
month. S that we see by sending our chil
dren to school promptly and regularly, we
can have tbem all taught at a much less per
capita rate than if we send only a part of
them, or send them only part of the time,
while the children themselves will be reap
ing the full benefits of our common school
system. T. J. C.
Another Surprise.
Another political surprise has been inflict
ed on the country by the appointment by
Grant of William W. Belknap as Secretary
of War. He is said to be a resident of Keo
kuk, in Iowa, and is now collector of inter
nal revenue for the Firs: Iowa District, We
will not say that be is not a proper man for
the position, for the reason that he is so ob
scure and so utterly unknown to the country,
that no opinion can be expressed as to hiB
fitness for the place. As Grant's Cabinet is
the weakest that the country has yet known,
it may be safe to affirm that Belknap will
not add much to its strength in an intellec
tual point of view. His unexpected ap
pointment is a second edition of the itifiictiou
of Borie and Robeson. But then the "second
Washington" must have his own way, even
though his way is inscrutable and not to be
understood.
The Philadelphia Press, in referring to the
appointment of Belknap, manifests its sur-
i prise and says: "Ilo has had no experience
in legislative ifJice, nor in any official posi
tion calculate i to give evidence of his fitness
for a place in the Cabinet." Ilia appoint
ment was made on the day after the Penn
sylvania election. What has become of the
"Cameron Clan" and of General Kanej of
the "Bucktail Regiment"? What shadows
we are and what shadows we pursue.
Dkmorfst's Monthly This and a sew
ing machine is beginning to be considered
indkpensable by young housekeepers and
ladies generally ; but the Monthly must be
had, whether the sewing machine is or not.
One of the great things iu its favor is, that
the gentlemen like it. They find it sensible
instead of frivolous, full oi practical infor
mation and useful ideas, which save young.
and inexperienced wives and mothers any
amount of trouble and expense. The illus
trations and patterns, the music and other
departments, are each 'worth the cost, and
we advise husbands who want to do a really
good thing for their wives, themselves, and
the family nenerally, to send $3.00 to 8G8
Broadway, N. Y., immediately.
Clectlon Frauds In Philadelphia.
The following is from the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, a radical journal :
The Row at the Meeting of Return
Judges. The scene at the meeting of the
return judges yesterday was exceedingly dis
graceful. Desperate Philadelphia politicians
have unfortunately acquired a reputation for
doctoring up returns which is only too well
deserved. Not satisfied with cheering at the
polls and manipulating the first count of
votes, they sometimes resort to the still more
infamons device of distorting or falsifying
what should be deemed a sacred record of
public opinion. The rascals of this stripe
are not all confined to the democratic party,
for some skilful adepts cling to the skirts of
the republican organization, and they are
ready, when occasion requires, for achieve
ments in political arithmetic which would
even add new laurels to the famous statisti
cian of the New Xol World. It U alleged
that yesterday two such frauds were perpe
trated, cne affecting the retult in the. Thir
teenth Legislative District, and electing a
republican iustead of a democrat by a forged
return, and the other electing Watt, a re
publican Senator, Instead of Diamond, a
democrat, by a false or imperfect statement
of the votes cast in the Senatorial district.
The parties guilty of these falsifications of
the records cannot be too severely punished.
Their crime should be made a penitentiary
offense. Instead of being petted and reward
ed by leading partisans for their wickedness,
they should be not only forever disfranchised
but treated as the lowest aud most danger
ous class of villains. The democrats were
naturally indignant at the rumors of the
attempted frauds, and properly appealed to
the court of common pleas to prevent their
consummation.
Judge Allison promptly issued a writ sus
pending proceedings until the whole matter
could be judiciously investigated. The depu
ty sheriff who served the writ, however,
acted, more in the spirit of a partisan than
an emissary of the law. He obtained his
first entrauce to the room iu which the re
turn judges were in session under circum
stances well calculated to inspire a doubt of
the genuine character of his writ. The
dooi-keepcrs allege that be falsely claimed
to be a roturn judge, and, once there, the
reporters . allege that he triumphantly ex
claimed that he had a writ from the Supreme
Court, which was not then in session. The
conclusion was hastily drawn from this mis
statement that he had no business in the
room, and he was summarily- ejected under
the belief that he was an unauthorized in
truder. Reinforced by a new order from the
court and by the aid f a host of stalwart
policemeD, he returned to the charge, effect
ed a forcible entrauce. aud the uolicemen not
only arrested the door-keepern who had per- ,
formed what they believed to be their duty,
but shamefully maltreated one of the mnt
unoffending ef reporters. The whole diffi
culty arose from the indiscreet manner in
which the first attempt to serve the writ of
the court was made ; and the evil results of
this blunder were intensified by the super
serviceable zeal of the policemen in assault
ing men who were, of all piesent, most in
nocent of wrong-doing of any description.
Subsequently the ditpvted points were con
sidered by the court, and its directions were
followed, but as various questions were raised
which can only be legitimately decided by
the legislature, the certificates of election
were given to the parties who would have ,
received them if no appeal to a judicial tri- !
bunal had been made, and it remains fur the
State Stnate to dispose of the claims of Watt
and Diamond, with the former as the sitting
member, find for the Assembly to decide be
tween Geir-z, Mullen and Forsyt he, with the
former as the holder of the certificate of elec
tion. We tru.-t that exact justice will be
done at Harrisbnrg, without partisan predi
lections, as the the republicans of Philadel
phia will lose infinitely more than they will
gain by endorsing official pretensions based
on fraud, and a just decision bhould be
promptly made.
The whole transastion brings into promi
nence the readiness of a certain class of des
perate partisans to peril their salvation for a
rleeting acd despicable triumph, while it dis
plays a wonderfully inefficient and rude
method of enforcing the law by a deputy
sheriff and the policemen.. It is evident
that among the many other things needed
to improve tho municipal government, a su
perior method of punishment of manipula
tors of election returns should be devised;
that the necessity of having a police force
free from partisan influences constantly in
creases ; and that it would be well if the
wiits of the courts affecting election returns
could be served by officeis appointed by the
judges, instead of partisan sheriffs.
Terrible Outrage hy a JVcgro---Thc
Fiend Lynched.
We find the following in the Alexandria
Gazette of Tuesday evening :
"Miss Dooly of Washington city, a beau
tiful, intelligent and interesting young lady,
who for some time past has been teaching
school in Priuce George's county, Maryland,
about a mile from Fort Washington, was
met on the road yesterday morning, while
walking from the house of Mrs. SchaafF,
where the boarded, to her school -house, by
a colored man who has a wife living iu this
city, and knocked down, brutally outraged
aud robbed. Her screams attracted the at
tention of some gentlemen who were hunt
ing in the vicinity, but who, when they
reached the spot, found her in a totally un
conscious condition, aud her ravisher gone.
As may readily be imagined the news of ths
outrage spread rapidly through the neigh
borhood, and in a short time the adjoining
country was being scoured by parties in pur
suit of the villain, and towards nightfall he
was caught near the scene of his crime, and
taken to Piscataway, where he is now chain
ed to another of his race who had been pre
viously arrested on suspicion. Of his guilt
there is, it is said, no doubt, for in his scufHe
with the unfortunate young lady a cottou
bandage was torn from his his hand, left on
the ground, and found there afterwards by
those who examined the locality. On Satur
day last he had cut his hand with a scythe
and having no rag convenient, he had torn
off a piece of tho leg of his drawers and
made a bandage of it, aud the rag found
corresponds with the piece torn off. He lived
with Mr. Adams, who farms a portion of Mr.
Schaaffs land, and was driving an ox cart
when he met Miss Dooly in the road, which,
between the houses if Mrs. SchaafF and
Captain Beasley, runs through a thick piece
of woods, and perpetrated his fiendish crime
by first knocking down his victim and then
dragging her into the woods. This is the
supposition for the young lady has not yet
recovered her consciousness, and received
such injuries that Dr. Dyer, tha attending
physician is uncertain about her recovery.
Her three brothers, who live in Washington,
have been sent for, and it is said the punish
ment usual in 6uch cases will be inflicted
upon the criminal as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be effected."

A son of Philip Miller, of Warwick,
Chester county, met with a terrible accident
on Friday week last. He was walking in
tho mow about dark, and in jumping off ran
a pitchfork thiough himself the implement
passing the lungs and coming out at the
back. The young man pulled the fork out
nmself and managed to get to the house,
where medical aid was summoned, and he
is now doir.g well.
Near Youngstown, Minnesota, about
two weeks ago. a couple of young men were
out in a harvest field, when a heavy thunder
storm approached, and they started toward
the barn, one of them carrying a pitchfork
on his shoulder. As the lightning Hashed
most -vividly, his companion asked bim to
put the fork down, as it was most dangerous
to carry it. He replied that ' God Almighty
wouldn't strike him," and ju3t as the words
were uttered he wa3 struck dead, the stroke
mangling him in a horrible manner. The
fork tines were melted, and his boots were
torn from Lis feet.
: Dr. Livingstone, the great traveler, in

dated July, 1868. and written from Lake
Banglew, reports him in excelleut health
and spiiits, and states further that this inde
fatigable explorer of the wilds of Africa has
at last discovered the 6ource of tho river
Nile. It is to be hoped that he will be re- 1
btored to his friends aud country, and that
we shall have auother volume or two of his
interesting travels and discoveries.
Mrs. Otendoffer is the sole proprietor of

leaving her a large family of children and a
small paper. She went earnestly to work
at once, attending hcrseif to all the details
of the ('ffice, and bhe now controls a very
lich and powerful journal. She drives to
her office every rtoming, looks after its mul
titudinous affairs, and returns to her elegant
home at three o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs.
Ottendoffer attends no conventions, is not a
member of "Sorosis" and never clamors for
the "rights" for which she has no use. She

follows : "The body of the animal somewhat
