w Cambria -.Freeman. IJlCXMUItG, E.4. Tiiliusday, : : : Oct. 28, The Philadelphia Returns. - There i a mystery surrounding the recent e'.ectiou to Philadelphia which requires a vaptdeal of explanation, if it can he Recount ed fir on any ordinary principle of political morality. We do net ' p'rett uri to Bay that the leaders of the democratic party in that city are entirely pure and above suspicion, but we do say that tha ftegunry law of the last sctslon has been no manipulated by rad ical election officers as to render' that election" a perfect and absolute'farce. Il.wthia re sult was brought about .is fully koowa and understood in Philadelphia, but is not so easily comprehended in the purer political regions of the State. It does not seem to be dnicd by the republican pnpers of that city that Diamond, one of the democratic candi dates for State Senator, was fairly and legal ly elected; but by the operation of forged and fraudulent returns in some of the wards and divinion precincts, he was shamelessly cheated out of his certificate of election, and that document was given to Watt, the radi cal candidate. Even Judge Allison, before whom the question incidentally arofe, virtu ally ad mi' ted the fraud against Diamond, but said that under his view of the law he was poweiless to interfere, and that the question of fraud must bo referred to the State Senate for adjudication. This may be the law, and we do not propose to controvert it, but the bold and open fraud on the ballot-boxes, nevertheless, stand as confessed by the friends of Watt. , Another conclusive evidence of the fraud ulent character of that election is the fact that the returns of the diction, which by law are required to be made to the Secretary of the Commonwealth on 'the Friday suc ceeding the election;' were not received by that official nntil last Friday, the 2'2d inst., which was Just one iceck after the meeting of the return judges. The papers at Ilarris I'lirg stated that although the Secretary had telegraphed for the return?, he had received no jcply. Why was this mysterious and umuual delay in transmitting these returns ! the proper oQicer at Ilarrisburg ? Was it a deeply laid scheme to so change and manufacture the returns as to overcome Gea jy's loss oj five thousand votes in Allegheny county by a false and fraudulent return from Philadelphia? It looks very much like it. In viiff of the Philadelphia operation, can ny honest politician fay to a certainty that John W. Geary was fairly elected at all? It seems to us that the ec tire election in Phil adelphia waa a bold and palpable fraud, un der the peculiar way in which the R-gitry law was mnde to subserve the daik Mays of radicalism, and that Asa- Packer has been dufrauded out of ao honest election by the people. A triumphant pnrty by such a dis graceful and humiliating process acquires no honor, but, on the ether hand, merits the supreme contempt and detestation of an in telligent and well-meaning people. Wendell IhlIIIi on the Elections For years past Wendell Phillips has been the mouth piece and the oracle of the radical party. Tiue It is that that party hae some times been slow to follow his teachings, but as certain as the needle points to the pole, just so certain has it been that radicalism has ultimately followed: jo the political wake of Phillips, That be its a able . writer and an eloquent man is not disputed; but that he is a facatiaof- the first water is equally as self evident."'

Buemts teb,-the especial pet and fritnd of Simon Cameron, who made John W. Geary the radical candidate for Governor in 1806," and. who-r(Brewster) was appointed by Geary Attorney General fibe St ate, was removed from that ofHce on Mon day last',' and F. Girroll Brewster, "of Phila delphia. appointed; in his place. Our read-; ers will rcmemberjhat in the eariy'part of the late campaign John Covode addressed an impudent and insultiug letter to Mr. Brew bter, requesting him, by the authority and diiection of Gov." Geary, to resign his oftice, in order to promote the success of the radical party in'this State. ' Mr.' Brewtter refused, like a gentleman as'be'is, to submit to Co vode'a dictation ; but now, after the election of Geiry, the political gnilotinej has fallen upon hirn, and his official head has been sev ered from his body. "So much for Mucking ham" and so much'for Bretcster. - It is a mean trick', worthy of Cameron and Geary, and in reference to which the writer of this will hereafter speak in these columns. We Lave nothing specially to fay cf F. Carroll Brewster, except that he is a man cf ability, and at one time was a Knoto Nothing mem ber of the Stato Legislature from Philadel phia. He was one of the Judges of the Court cf Ommon Pleas of Philadelphia, which po .r.i'.ou he has juci resigned to accept that of Attoraey General. Hit a$e is 44 yeaa r-ait- Andrew Juliuson. Although it waa generally supposed that Andrew ' Johnson would havo been elected United States Senator fiom Tennessee, the remit of the cutest has not come up to the high-sounding tone of the manifesto. After -balloting for four days without a choice, the Legislature ou last Friday elected Henry I Cooper, by a vote of 55 to 51 fur Andrew ; Johnson. We havo frequently xpressed j our opinion, as we'l as our wish, that Presi I dent Johnson would be and should be clect i ed. It is not necessary now to review the I contest, as the proper tiibunal has disposed ! .f the question. Although defeated now, i Andrew Johnson id nut, as John W. Forney "says Leis," politically dead. lie will yet live I and be heard of in the politics of the cuun : try. A man of his ability, long experience L iu public iiff.iiis, acknowledged purity of j J personal character and of indomitable pluck and untiring energy, cannot long be kept in the background. He is in the vigor of man hood, ready at all times for a fray with the 1 enemies of the constitution of his country, j and will yet confront his vile accusers in the councils of the nation. Ut Mr. Oooper correspondent of the New York Wvrld j writes as follows : "During the Lite war he was a strong, though not violent Union man, and received from Gov. Andrew Johnson the appointment of Judge in one of the State courts. During his term on the bench he sought several times to resign, but his resignation was not accepted ; and Governor Brownlow in a mes sage to the legifduture, referred to him as one of the purfst and moEt upright members of the State Judiciary ; anct, though opposed to him politically, earnestly protested against his retirement. In 18ot5, however, he ac cepted a chair in the faculty of the Cumber land University, at Lebanon. He was chosen to the State Senate as a Senter consei vative at the recent election, beating his radical op ponent by a large majority. Judge Cooper j has been regarded in lennessee asoneot the rising statesmen of the southwest, and is very widely esteemed for his eminent abili ties and spotless character,.' Uo is a personal friend of tx-President Johnson, anil has voted for him for Senator on every ballot.' His brother, lultnucd Cooper; lately a mem ber of Congress and now a. State Senator, was, for some time, Mr. Johnson's private secretory. The new Senator is a man of small stature, with a good personal presence and extremely affable manner. It has been j supposed that he was unambitious of the i honor now thrust upon him, for he is mod , est aud somewhat difliJent, and has not per mitted his friends to canvass for him as a candidate. He seems to have been taken up at the last moment by the combined opposition- of ex confederates and extreme radi cals as the only man cap.ble of defeating Andrew Johnson, and his election was pro bably as unexpected to him as it is to the country at large. "Mr. Cooper is one of the ablest lawyers in Tennessee. Hj was one of military Gov ernor Johnson's appointees to the Judiciary, and was commended for integrity as an offi cer by Governor Rrowulow in a message to the legislature. He gave a decision in the Sherbrooke-Ridley case, now pending in the United States Supreme Court, that our fran chise is unconstitutional. Oa retiring from the bench he became Professor at the Leba non" Law School, and after resigning that position removed to Nashville.'!. Tlie Somerset District. Iu the Twentieth Senatorial' District,;com posed of Somerset, BioTord and Fulton, the following are the official maj rities of the three counties Findlay, of Somerset, being the democratic candidate, and Scull, of the same county, the radical candidate for State Senator Hedford county gave Findlay -Fulton ' " ". " Somerset county gave Scull r-' 377 ' 802 7C9 Findlay'a maj rity;in the distiict, 2 These figures, which are ttfficialf would seem to disposo effectually of the whole case, ar.il wculd elect Findlay, but'thatUiu and legal result is -not lii accord Aace with the radical arithmetic. However, we wi.l let ! j the .Somerset Democrat explain,' in its own tmVUa language, how Hiram Fmdlay is to be cheated out of Lis : scat in the State Senate, to which he has been fairly and un doubtedly elected : On Friday following the election, the Retura Judges having met, it appeared that the returu from Al!eghaiiy township, which gave Findlay a m.;i-ritv of loriv, was somewhat informal. The Itadhal judges of the return conference at one saw that if this return, could be east aside, Scull would have a majority iu tae dis trict cl" seventeen votes. An effort was made to hae the conference adjourn to Saturday, thus giving the election ofihiers ot AUeghauv township ample time to bring in a proper re turn. This the Judges refused to do, declaring that if the proper return from that township was not in by lii o'clock, midnight, it should not be counted. This was at nearly 4 o'clock r. m., giving only eight hours for messengers to ride a distance of over fifty miles to secure a proper reiurn. Although there was a seem ing ehow of fairness, they well knew that the trip could not' be made, and they only acted the part o' the devil who proposed to barter away the world on a former memorable occasion At the silent hour of midnight the conference again assembled. Alleghany had still not come. Another effort was made to have the confer ence nnjbura to nnxt day, but it was choked off by a few borough interlopers who, in whisper ings loud enough' to be heard, urged the J udges to - movenn adjournment sine die," which was done amid shouts-of savage delight that they had gained a teinposary triumph, when thirty niinute3 more would have brought the Allegha ny return all right.' The Democratic1 Re'Urn Judges refused to take part In tbee outrageous proceedings, and m-ived an adjourn in cut to Sat urday morning. They assembled at the time appointed, e-rganized in the regular way, count ed lha Alleghany return and appointed one of their number f Return Judge to meet similar Judges from Bed ford and Fulton counties. We need hardly add that the ac ion of the Radical Return Ju lges is most severely censured and condemned, not -only by Democrats, but' by scores of 1 igh minded and honorable Republicans- It is also a matter of pleasure to state that among the Radical crew who thus violated their oaths, were some Republican Judges who very unwillingly followed the lead of the revo lutionary gentlemen of that body. Some were simp'y mistaken in their duty others were wilfully and brutally cognizant of the crime they were committing. Ori a more fitting oc casion w e may single out these gentlemen and expose them more properly to their fellow citi zens. To reject a retarn simply on accouul of informality is to break down Uw with a ven geance. If for a Bimple error on the part of stupid election board the whole people of a township are to be disfranchised, then farewell to our boasted liberty. The right of suffrage is one too sacred to be thus torn away , and a people who would for au instant submit to it are worse than slaves. But when before was such a thing heard of? In the county of Alle ghany, in this State, at the 6acae eljctioa, there were to'wnships wtoe returns were ia- formal. Did any Jacobins there hit upon the hanny expedicut of ruling them out or eompel- f ling them to comply with impossible conditions? Nay, they acyiurned to meet the next diy, g;v ing ample time to correct the error. But the J u:itn of Somerset county, urged on by a ! lew politicians of the town, concluded to do ; differently, in the vain hope th.it somehow or ' other it would euure to the benefit of their I ticket. j It is not at ail necessary to argue with any j n'i!tn-vf ordinary intelligence that any mere informality in an election return,, in an elec ' tion district, can or ought to invalidate the ! whole return and thereby deprive honest vo j tc-rs out of their legal and cocstitutional j lights. The idea is preposterous and against every principlo of justice and common sense. ' It has been decided otherwise more thati a hundred times, by the Courts as well as by Congress and the Legislature of this State. We understand that Scull, on the flimsy pretext of a want of formality in the return from Alleghany township, in his own coun ty, intends to coutet-t Findlay 's admitted election. He docs not charge that any fraud was committed, or that Find!ay had not a legal majority of forty votes in Alleghany j township, but proposes to rely upon those peculiar jwoog of title which invariably se- Cllre success for radical contestants, upon the flimsiest of pretexts, when brought before any radical body which has jurisdiction in the case. What will be thought of the capacity, as well as the honesty of a State Senate, if, despite this plain state of facts, Findlay should be rejected, the people disfranchised, and Scull be permitted to misrepresent the district? We shall watch this singular con test with more than ordinary interest. THE STATE LCGISLiTl'KE.

Every day one reads of gallant deeds performed, and of the death of brave men who tlie as heroes die. but nothiug more heroic or more truthful will come before the public than the deed which furnishes the following for the Port Huron Comrneraal : "Opposite Port Hurou. in the town of Sar nia, there are several kerosene oil refiners, with larg,e tanks connected with them used for storing oil before barreling for ship ment. Last Saturday one of the tanks con nected with Chalmer'e refinery being empty was fouud to need cleaning and a man named Wales was sent to perform the task. Al most at the moment of his discent into the tank he was overcome by the suffocating gas arising from the oil and fell senseless upon the fioor Speedy death would have over taken him, but one of his companions named Patrick Brady, with a brave self-sacrifice that should perpetuate his name and the memory" of his gallant deed, immediately descended into the tank to the rescue of his c6mr4de.-: He seized the fallen man and rrtited him within the reach ef those above, by whom he was drawn up to the open' air, but it the same moment fell .himself, over, powered by the suffocating gas. Those panic stricken by the occurrence, dared not encounter, the deadly atmosphere, to descend to his relief, and from six to eight minutes passed before other means could be devised for his rescuo. When at last he was drawn from his fatal prison, life was extinct. It is rarely an act is performed more truly heroic. He must have been aware of the danger he encountered, before he made the attempt, but in view of it all, he braved the danger and lost his own life to save that of com rade." ' Tub State Sbsate. The : lladical ma nipulators are determined to have a majority in the Senate. They counted out. Mr. Dia mond in the First district for this "purpose, and the Court of Common Plea3 refused to interfere in behalf of the men who were cheated cut of their votes by forged, altered and improper returns. There is not an in telligent man in this city who believes that Mr. Watt obtained a majority of the legal votes of the district. Facts show he did not. In the Fiist ward, while the average maj ri-' ty for all the candidates is 77, that of Mr. Watt for Senator is 357, a difference in his favor of 80 votes. ; Here, however, there is no wide difference in the total vote of the ward. But. turning to, the Twenty-sixth, ward, we find that the average aggregate vote of the ward is 4.337, a. difference of 739 votes. Moreover, the average majorities in that ward, excluding the Senator, are 1,035, while our Senator is defeated -by 1,446, a difference of 4 1 1 votes. ' This shows conclusively that : the returns : for. Senator were altered in order to give the certificate to the Radical candidate, and add a member to the Radical party in the upper "branch' of the State Legislature. Phila. Age.

And be docs notlike him.

But now, having at last betaken him&elf to the Sjuth. he has seen his idol as he really is, and iu some letters to the Revolution he gives expression to his disgust and amaze ment. Ho found nothing as he had expect ed to see it. Even the liquor at the South is bad at least the .festive bowl which Mr. Parker Pdlsbury's colored friends iu Charles ton commended to his feverish lips was filled with hell-broth. "The whiskey here is dia bolical," exclaims poor P. P., "and yet they (the colored people) appear to.. love it more than auything else, women as well as men." We certainly would never have thought tf selecting Mr. Parker Fiilsbury as a taster ; but he speaks so authoritatively concerning the quality of the negro whii-key iu South Carolina that we no longer doubt his capa bility. If the whiskey there is worse than The Worlil Commighioucr found it to be in New York, we pity poor P. P., and pray for his speedy return ero he finds snakes in his boots. As for the negroes, they must be abandoned to their fate. "They drink it red hot from the barrel, clean and pure," he continues, still harping on the whiskey, "and I have seen mothers pour it thus down the throats of their six months old babes." But this was Dot the greatest shock ex perienced by Mr. .Parker PilUbury. Not only did he find the Degro idol whom he had worshipped a drunken sot, but he saw that eveu that wouderful panacea for all hunuu ills, the ballot, was useless, and worse than useless, to him. If he had his way just now, while suffuiing from the diabolical whiskey of the uegro-quarters in Chaileston, he would reconstruct the reconstruct South once more, and- shut out the man and the brother from the ballot-box, He surely must have a low estimate of the solemn re sponsibilities of government," he exclaims, "who wculd force the ballot cn thousands and thousands to be seeu all over the South. And forced it was on many men. wher ever the slaves have voted." They knew no more and cared no more for what tney am m voting tnau it they were as in-i fantile in years as they are in political ex perience." As for the social condition of these "wares of the nation." these "national freedmeu' for whose sake Mr. Charles Sum ner demands that the country hhall be kept in tarmoil a few weeks longer, nothing can be more fearul than the picture drawn by this astounded abolitionist. Marriage does not exiit among them ; "very few children are lorn;" infanticide is common;" in their wretched-homes "no family meal seems ever to be provided," each member of tlie family doing his own cooking aud eating what he can get; knives and forks are unku wu among them ; their huts have uo floors, no windows, no deceut table, chair, or bad. "I saw infauts and very young children naked from morning till night," says the penitent Pillsbury, "aud boys of at Itf&st a dozen years with only a single garment, and that but a scanty apology. Many women, young and old, had little on above the waist, and nothing below the knees" and theu Mr. Parker Pillshury goes into details where we cannot follow him, lest we should turn the stomach of New YoTk this morning at its breakfast table. Is this a scone from life in Dahomey or among the Digger Indians that Mr. Pillsbury is describing ; or are these the men, and the wives and children of the men, for whom the land has been soaked with blood and the nation impoverished 1 "The ballot may be the oue thing needful there," adds Mr. Pillsbury, "but, it teems to mc, soap, sand, fine-tooth combs, pots, kettles, chairs, tables, knives, forks, spoons, decent food, cooking, and cloothing, glass windows, and looking glasses should at least go side by side, if they may not precede the rights of suffrage aud sovereignty." Oh, Parker! Oh, Pillsbury ! Why were not you aud all the other fanatical fools in the cou:iy warn ed re time, and why were you andlhoy deaf to the voice of common sen.e and prudence until the mischief you now deplore was done beyond remedy 1 World. . - Singular Discoveky Nkar Syracuse, N. Yi A remarkable discovery of a human form of . huge proportions, entirely petrifi-id, has been made iu the township of Lafay ette, near Syracuee, N.. Y. A correspondent of the New York papers, writing from Sy racuse, furnishes tha following particulars : " Yesterday afternoon, in company with a hired man, Mr. Wm. Newell, a farmer, liv ing some twelve miles distant from here, be gan to dig a well in the meadow in the rear of his barn. About two and a-half feet bo low the surface, they struck upon what they supposed to be a largo stone, and Mr. New ell went for a crowbar to remove it. Before lie returned, however, his man had uncover ed two large stony feet and legs. Continu ing their digging, they brought to light the perfect figure of a man of more than giant size, and as solid as though chiseled out of the rocks of Onondaga. Some conception of the sensation it has produced here may be formed when I give you a few of the ac tual measurements. The total length from the top of the head to the lower surface of the instep is 10 feet 2 inches; across the shoulders the width is 3 feet ; across the palm of the hand, 7 inches ; the larger fin ger is 8 inches long; the thigh is 12 inches and the leg below the kuee 9 inches in thickness. Tne figure was found lying on the right side, tne hand placed npon the ab domen, the other upon the back, and the left leg thrown across the right. There semblance is complete. Everything is there the wrinkle about the eye, the Adam's apple in the neck. The full veins, the pro minent muscles and bones, the natural swell of each rib, and the clearly elefined nails, both' of hands and feet. The face and fea tures were decided Caucasian. - May it cot be a statue? The decided opinion of every person who has seen it aud it has been visited to-day by some of the most highly educated and intelligent people of this city is that its perfection, the material of which it Is composed, and the place in which it was found, are against , this hypothesis. - It seems to be composed of a soft grayish lime stone, with which this region abound. ; As may be supposed, speculators are already on band; sums reaching into tens of thousands havo been offered for the fiaure. Since wri ting the above I learn that Dr. J. F. Bovntori. the well known geologist and lecturer of this city, has visited the spot, and iucliucs to the opinion that the gigantic . fii-uru is a statue I'his theory, however, leaves tlie matter in almost as great a mystery as the other. Eleven colored uipn aud ouo white man constitute the couuty jury for Adams' Mis- tissippi, next mouiu. General IVevrs Items. General Swtitzer has been appoiutcd Supervisor of Revenue in We-tern Pennsyl vania. Another Judas pockets the thirty pieces of silver. ' Friday morning last, at balf-past five o'clock, au earthquake tdiock was felt in Boston, Springfield, Concord. Portland, Au gusta and other places iu the New England States. tt 1 Feuianism continues lively in England and Ireland. Meetings are numerous. Six thousand persons attended the funeral of Martin, the Fenian, who died at King's Col lege Hospital. . The election of J. B. Crockett aud W ll liam I. Wallace, tha Democratic candidates fur the Supreme Bench of California, is con-c-ded. California has had- quite enoi'gh of Radical misrule. Franklin Pierco was the fourteenth President of the United States. Thero are fourteen letters in his aamo. and the fin-t let ters in the christian and .surnames being F. ami P., stand for fourteenth President.! . An Irishman from Dublin.. workrd'Jiis way out to Jacks, nville, Fla.. a year or two at:o and borrowed money to scroll up the St. Johns. He low refuses twenty thousand dollars for the place he fettled upon. The remains of six men aud furty-six horses, supposed to be thoso of a missing portion of General Fremont's exploiing ex pedition, twenty years ago, were found re centlv in the Opal'Fork of the Rio Grande. On the farm of Mrs. Joseph Jump, near D-mton. Caroline county, Md., is a pear tree Lwhich has already borne two crops this rea son, and is now in dossom for a third. Jt is entitled to the belt as a champion bearer. Mrs. Griffith, of Tulaski county, Tenn., has presented her husband, within the past twelve months, with five children two at one birth, and three at the Fecond. The lit tle "darlings" are all hale, hearty, ami str me. The petrified giant at Syracuse is still the cause of considerable speculation. The Onondaea Indians claim that it is the re mains of Abel who was killed by Cain, while ... u Dr. uoynton maintains mat it is an oiu statue. On the 17th inst., near Purdy, Tennes see, Gilbert Cerubs shot anil killed hia broth er Jacob, who was defending his mother against an attack of Gilbert. The affair grew out of the distributirn of the property left by their father. Gilbert has not been arretted. After the recent flood in Hartfjrd a large pumpkin field in that city presented a singular appearance. The freshet covered the field with six feet of water, and the pumpkins were anchored by their stems and bobbing cosi'y up and down. The surface of two acres of water was completely cover ed with them. There is now on exhibition in San Fran cisco a nugget of gold weighing ninet'-five pounds,, and valued at twenty-two thousand j dollars. It is the largest piece of gold ever found in California. It was taken out Ironi tlie Monumental .Q lartz Mines. The nug get was found at a depth of twenty-five feet from the top, on the eighteenth of last Au Rust. Mr. C. W. Keller, the county treasurer of Erie, while engaged (the 18ib inst.,) in couversation with a strange man, was asked by the latter to take an apple. -Mr. Keller accepted the apple, and shortly afterwards he eat it. About two hours after he had eaten it lie was seized with convulsions, aud at the last accounts was in a most critical condition. No clue to the murderer, or, the motive for the crime, has as yet been found. The Treasury Department is just now , exercised over the fact that it has received ; over ninety thousand tlollars' worth of coun terfeit bonds. These bonds were stiicken off from the plates iu government possession. How many thousauds or millions there may be in the hands of the people, bought aud paid for as genuine, no oue can say. Evi dently our Treasury Department has been a pretty cttly nd Itosel managed concern, and is likely to remain so. ' It is about as well to make a change in the head of that concern. In the course of an article on the fraud perpetrated by the Return Judges in the case of Mr. Di.imond, the Philadelphia Post says : '"The Legislature may decide against Mr. Diamond, but public opinion will de clare that down-right cheatiug has been com mitted to send a Republican to the Seuate. This is our opinion now ; we should be hap py to have it changed, but have no hopes of that. "As the figures stand, as the character of the contest is now understood, the return of Mr. Watt appears to bn as palpable a fraud as ever was attempted in this city."
