Jttblicaa candidate for State Senator lo the
Somerset, Bedford and Fulton district, and
who wu defeated by HtCalf FunvLaY. Dem
ccrat, by a majority of twenty-three votes,
has wuelv concluded not to contest Mr. FiMD
iai seat. There was no allegatlou what-,
cyer that any fraudnlent rotes had been cast
for the Democratic candidate, but merely
that there was an informality in the electicn
return from Alleghany township, in Somer
set county. It is Lonorablo in Mr. Sccll.
thus to yield to tbe voice of the people when
their will haa been fairly expressed. If
Watt, who wt8 dofeated for Senator by Du
irrovt) in the first Philadelphia district, but
who received Lis certificate in consequence
cf a false and fraudulent alteration of the
lection returns in seme rf the ward pre
cincts, would imitate Mr. SrcLta honorable
onduct and permit Mr. Diamond to occu
py the teat to which tbe people of the dis
trict elected him. it would show that there is
honor among poliiitians as we'.l at among
thUf4S.
Let It be Iteicaled.
"When the last Legislature insertad a sec
tion in the Krgistry law abolishing" Spring
Elections" we predicted that it would prove
to be. in practice, a most lamentable fai!ure.
Huch has teen the acknowledged result.
From one end of the Commonweal th to tbe
t.ther the newspaper prcas has raised a uni
ted demand for its repeal. Ten valid rea
sons can be given in favor of its repeal, while
not a single good one can be adduced in fa
vor of its continuance. The people did not
ksk far the change, and having tried the
uew system juat once, they are heartily dis
gusted with it and demand a return to the
ancient order of things. Amongst other ob
joctiotis to it is that it imposes a vast increase
of labor on the election officers. So labori
ous and complicated are their duties under
the new law, that in many of the most pop
ulous election districts in the State they
were unable to finish their work until the
middle of the day after the election. It pro
duced confusion worse confounded and liter
ally tnictd up two elections whose purposes
and objects are entirely dissimilar. Let pe
titions, therefore, for its repeal be poured in
to the next Legislature in such numbers as
will compel its speedy disappearance from
the statute book.
Foster and Cuvode.
The following Washington dispatch was
sent to a Philadelphia Radical paper last
weok :
Tbe testimony in the case of the Twenty
first Pennsylvania District has been sent to
the printers by the committee. It shows
that over 200 fraudulent votes were cant for
Foster by colonizers and minors, upon forged
naturalization papers. Five fraudulent votes
were cast for Cuvode in two election districts
under Democratic control in Youngstown.
'Westmoreland county, and Dunbar, Fayotto
eouuty. Such gross frauds were perpetra
ted as to invalidate entire polls, showing a
dear majority for Covodo of over 500.
Home of the testimony Mhowing how desper
ately some parties worked to defeat Covode
is exceedingly interesting, and the whole
will make a book of over six hundred pages.
This ia what is commonly called bosh.
Jufct after the tes'imony ia the case had
beea closed, we conversed with a gentleman
who professed to be, and from his position
ought to be, familiar with it, aud. he stated
to us that although the tffuial return gave
Gen, Foster a msj rity of only 43 votes, the
evidence clearly showed that ho had, at the
very lowest estimate, not less than 150. If
Covoda had a clear mrjority " of over 600,"
then it is perfectly manifest that there were
over 460 illegal and fraudulent votes polled
for Oen. Foster in Westmoreland and Fay
ette counties. Does any jane man believe
that this was so ? It is useless, ht wever, to
discuss the question now, as the whole mat
ter will be dUpoeed of by Congress at its
next session.
Plainly. Spoken.
The fraudulent alteration of the election
returns ia the first Philadelphia Senatorial
district was so glaring, that the hoDcst por
tion of the Radical pre have denounced it ;
as an instance of which we publish the fol
lowing manly and outspoken article from the
Norristown Independent. Even Judge Alli
son, who was applinJ to to interfere and ar
rest the outrage, while he indirectly admit
ted the fraud, said he was powerless to pre
vent It, and referred Mr. Diamond to the
Senate for a vindication of his rights.
Where a fraud on the ballot box is plain and
palpable, as In this instance, it it the duty
of the press of both parties to denounce it.
If it (ssufferod to pass unrebuked it will be
repeated, and elections will eventually be
come ft solemn farce. Tho Independent uses
tbU bold and emphatic language:
We trnat every republican journal in the
Stare will censure with such terms of severe
reproach as the subject merits, the gross for
gery of false returns in Philadelphia, by
which- two democrats, who were honestly
elected to office, were cheated out of their
certificates of election, by an alteration of
figures. We trust the guilty parties, who
ertr they may be, will be brought to speedy
punifehroent. Soeb rascals as have done this
diny work, bring the party into disrepute,
and destroy its usefulness and power Let
them be spurned and kicked from all decent
vc!fciy. AH iLa aewfjsreri g'.v; L f.j-
uree knowing Mr. Diamond's ejection beyond
oontroverry, and he should be allowed hie
scat in the State Senate, democrat as he !s.
in spite of the fraud by which he I deprived
cf Lie certificate."
Contesting tlie Election.
We observe that a large portion of the
Democratic pre?B of the State has expressed
A decided wish that the election of John W.
Geary should be contested. We cannot con
cur in the policy of the mov ement. Al
though wc resisted his election with all the
vigor and ability we possessed, and although
we fiel deeply mortified at th? result,, re
girding it as a burning disgrace to the
State, still we are unable to perceive that
any possible good could result from a con
test. That the most glaring and ontrngeous
fr?uie were perpetrated in Philadelphia, is
admitted by more than a score of Radical
editors. It is confessed even by some of
the Pad!cl papers of that city. But it is
not pretended that Geary's entire uiaj irity
in Philadelphia was fraudulent. Kvttn if j
such wait the fact, and it CMild be clearly
proven before a committee of the Ix'ghda
ture, aud If that entire majority was thrown
out, it still would not alter the result in the
State.
It !s not contended, we bel ieve, that there
were any frauds on the ballot-box commit
ted in the strong Radical county of Alle
gheny. Geary losB of five thousand votes
in that county would effectually ignore any
such allegation. Nor have we seen it al
leged that frauds were perpetrated i n Lu
zerne or Schuylkill counties, where the usu
al Democratic majorities were so largely re
duced. It rarely happens that illegal voting is ac
complished to any great extent in tbe rural
districts, tLat sort of political swindling be
ing confined to the largely populated cities.
We admit that in the country districts an
Illegal rote occasionally finds it way into
the ballot-box, and that, too, without any
intentional violation of duty by the board of
officers. In the memorable contest between
Porter and Ritner, in 1S33, it is well known
that at the instigation of Thaddeus Stevens,
the Anti-Masonic party of that day perpe
trated the most stupendous frauds in the
counties of Adams, Lycoming and Hunting
don ; but since that timo the practice of
wholesale illegal voting in any of the coun
ties of the State, has not been seriously
charged. To examine the list of voters at
the last election in every election district in
the State, in order to discover an illegal vote
here and another there, would be an endless
labor. Resides all this, it must be borne in
mind that the question would have to be
decided bj a partisan committee, to be se
lected by a Radical Legislature. This be
ing the case, can any man doubt the remit ?
No matter what the proof might be, we can
foretell with absolute certainty what would
be the final action of the committee. So far
as Philadelphia is concerned, if the District
Attorney of that city would arrert the scoun
drels who altered the returns of the election,
and prosecute them to speedy conviction and
punishmeut, it would be a wholesome ex
ample and would have a beneficial e fleet ia
the future. But this will not bo done, for
the reason that in the contested election ca
ses in that city the Radical judges of the
court, a few days after the election, decided
that Furnian Sheppard, the late able and
eflicient District Attorney, and who was a
Democrat, had not been legally elected to
the office, and appointed in his stead Charles
Gibbons, the author of the Rrgistry law of
the last session of the Legislature. Of course
Charles Giblons is not the -man to prose
cute his R.idical friends and vindicate the
majesty of tho law aud the rights of the peo
ple. For the reasons we have assigned we can
not see the propriety of tbe advice given to
the State Central Committee to content tbe
election.
ITUlluiu II. Kemble.
This gentleman, who is an active and
prominent Philadelphia politician, was elec
ted State Treasurer by the Ra I ical party for
two. or it may have been three years, and
retired from tfflce in May, 18C8. He was a
prominent candidate just previous to the
meeting of the last legislature for United
States Senator, but, for some unexplained
reason, suddenly withdrew from the contest.
In the remarkable letter ad dressed to Gov.
Geary by his late Attorney Genetal, Benji
min II. Brewster, when the latter was so
unceremoniously removed from office by the
former, the following statements occur :
" The effsr of my resignation, referred to
in your letter, was frequently made by me
and others for me, and was always refused
by you as hnrtful to your prospects. It
was made from motives of personal conv.
nience, and to help your renomination and
sileDce the calumnies of men who were your
enemies. .As an instance of your feelings
towards whom J would refer to your course
in reference to Mr. Kemble. whom you told
me you suspected of being a defaulter, and by
yovr express direction had me send you twice
an accountant from the city to verify your
supposed discovery of his drlinquencies. and
against whom you said I should proceed as
soon as you were re elected."
Jlere is a most grave and serious accusa
tion, made by the Governor against the in
tegrity of a high official of the State. It is a
charge which an honest man ought instant
ly to repel; yet , although three weeks have
elapsed tincc Mr. Brewster's letter was pub
lisbod, William B. Kemble, whose official
character was thus assailed by one high in
authority, has not seen proper to publish any
denial of its truth. The first pertinent ques
tion here is, had Kemble ever heard of
Geary's suspicion that he was a defaulter,
and if so was that the reason of his sudden
withdrawal from the Senatorial contest ?
His conduct was regarded as very singular
at the time, but then no pcret'O-knew that
Geary suspected " Kemble of being a de
faulter. William B. Mann, A. K. McClure
and Kemble, are all chums in the hidden
mysteries of Philadelphia politics. They
fcrc al! tivtortoualy tct.f:!e o GsaryVr
election and pnblicly proclaimed their inten
tion of defeating him; by taking from him
fonr thousand Radical votes in that city. -For
some reason, only known to this trio of
incorruptible politicians themselves, they
wanted Brewster, the man whom Geary had
instructed to prosecute Kemble, as soon as
you (Geary) were re-elected," removed from
office. According to the Philadelphia Post,
Mann, McClure and Kemble suddenly . just
before the election, changed front, and from
bsing John W. Geary's inveterate political
foes, became his warm and active friends,
and did all they could to carry Philadelphia
for him. Geary was re-elected and the At
torney General who, in that event, was in
structed to prosecute Kemble, was removed
from his office, and is thus prevented from
doirg what Geary had directed hira to do,
and William B. Kemble. for the present at
least, ia saved. All this has an exceedingly
suspicious look about it.
Will Geary cirect his new Attorney Gen
eral to prosecute Kemble ? Wu venture the
opinion that he never will. Through Mann
and McC'.urc he was enabled to carry Phila
delphia, and in consideration thereof their
friend, Wm. B. Kemble. ia secure from the
clutches of Benjamin FT. Brewster. What
honest Radical member of the next Senate
or House will move for a select committee to
investigate this suspected defalcation of
Kemble's? It ought to be done and we
trust that it will be done, and that John W.
Geary will be put on the witness stand.
Let there be a thorough investigation of
Kemblc's administration of tho affirs of the
trtasury department. It is due to the peo
ple of the 8tate as well as to himself, espe
cially so if Geary's suspicions about his be
ing a defaulter were unfounded.
Owsiso Up at Last. Never did the
Post print a truer paragraph than the fol
lowing, which we find in its columns this
morning:
Thus it is plain that as the questions of
the war drift into the past, the magic of the
Republican name looses its power. Totera
do not see what Sheridau's ride in the Shen
andoah, or tho surrender of Lee at Appo
mattox, has to do with the duties of a
Philadelphia Sheriff, or the bnMnes which
Comes before Councils. They want honest
business men in office to rightly anruinittor
public affairs. This is the first waut, and
they will have it in some way."
The trade in "troo loilty" is declining, an
the people are only beginning to compre
hend how curegioualy they have been hum
bugged by the party who has all alon?
claimed to embody in it uiue-tenths of the
patriotism and loyalty of the country. Never
was there a greater fraud than this. Yer
after year the Democratic papers pointed otit
the error; but every allnnion to the subject
was greeted by our Radical cotemporaries a
the vilest of "Copperheadium," 'traiioroua
sentiments," "sympathy with rebellion."
etc. But the era of common sense is about
to be reinauguratcd, and the people are in
dulging in "ihe socouJ sober thought" a
little. They have discovered that an epau
lette or a star does not always rout upou the
shoulders or breast of either an bot:est or a
competent man. We always supposed it
would be so. only that thi good time incom
ing a little sooner than we had anticipated.
The position rf the Democratic party, iu re
gard to this matter, although bitterly assail
ed for a season, has proven impregnable to
all assaults. When, therefore, we find such
sentiments as thone from our Radical cotem
porary, we are led to believe that hereafter
shoulder straps and military titled will carry
no weight with them, politically, unU-snthe
wearer of them has something abve and be
yond them to recomrueDd him to public favor
honesty and ability. Philadelphia Eotn

Irish demonstrations, in favor of national
independence, aud in order to signify to the
Hugli.-h government that it is the uuivertal
desire of the Irish people that the thiity or
forty persons who are now in ptison under
sentence of penal servitude for political
causes should beset at liberty, have become
so numerous and menacing that the ministry
has been forced to notice them in a formal
and official manner. This notice comes from
Mr. Gladstone in the shape of a letter, tn
which he says. 'It is known to the govern
ment that the Fenian conspiracy is not ex
tinct, either in the United Kingdom or ia
America. To incite insurrection against the
government of this country and it? public
order is ever to be regarded as a great crime.
Our enlightened Sovereign and Parliament
have just grauted to Ireland one great meas
ure cf conciliation and justice. Wo cannot
doubt that legislation conceived in the same
spirit upon every Iriah question of vital im
portance will continue, and that the gradual
but sure result will bo to bind in harmony
all classes of the Irish people." This is a
virtual promise to the Irish people that the
policy of the present taiuistry will be iu their
favor. That Mr. Gladstone cannot open the
doors of all the prisons of England, and set
free those who have been convicted of breach
es of the peace, infractious of the law. must
not be taken as evidence that he will not
push on the column of Irish emancipation.
He haa passed tbe Irish Church bill, he will
ameliorate the Tenant and Ltnd laws.
These are movements of va.-t importance to
Ireland. But Mr. Gladstone must act by
agencies, and not attempt too much, and
thus lose all. Better for the Irish people
that Gladstone should hold the helm, than
Disraeli. They must chose between the two,
and not aid the latter by rashness aud pre
cipitation. Age.

It Is with unaffected sorrow that we record
to-day the death of the "dintiug'.iifched mer
chant and philanthropist, George Pobody,
which ccurred iu In ion on ThimnUy night
last. The deceased was a native of M-ia-cbusetts,
Dauvers claiming the h nor of his
birth-place for an honor it certainly ia.
He was horn in 1795, February 18 ; conse
quently, he was nearly seventy-five years of
age. At a very early age he was appren
ticed to the mercantile business, commencing
his career as a grocer's errand boy. Uc sub
sequently abandoned the ilea of becoming
a grocer at.d eotered the store of his brother,
a dry gxU merchant, with whom he re
mained for number of years. He com
menced busiuess with his uncle in Waibing
ton, D. C, And a few years after eutered
into a partnership with an established house
in Baltimore. Branch dry goods houses
! were also established iu Philadelphia and
s'lccess. Having accumulated a handsome
fortune by his industry and ability, and hav
ing iu his several visits to Eugland ou busi
ness been impressed with it advantages fjr
his purposes, he took up hi residence per
manently in Kngland iu 1837. establishing
himself in Londou as a merchaut and broker.
It is scarcely necessary to say that in his
adopted home Mr. Peabody was more suc
cessful even than in his native one. Wealth
flowed in upon him in almost unmeasured
abundance, and as it accumulated he began
to devise measures for the judicious disburse
ment of a large portion of it. Keeping a
steady eye to his regular business, Mr. Pea
body at the same time looked around him
carefullyfor objects uponwbich to exercise his
philanthropic disposition. The poor of Lon
don, Li nativn town, the city of Baltimore,
the Southern States, and in fact almosUevery
deserving object, were the 6Ulj?cts of his ba
nevolence. In the meantime he was not
forgetful of his own immediate family and
friends, for all of whom who required it he
provided liberally. His donations of money,
public and private, are larger in the aggre
gate than perhaps those of any man who
ever lived. He acted upon tho idea that
they would be better applied if made while
he was living than as bequests to be carried
into tffuct after his death. This is only in
keeping with the wisdom which character
ized bis whole life. It would be well t'an
his example in this particular were followed
by other wealthy men who purpose d mating
portions of their wealth to philanthropic
purposes. Had Dr. Rash, of our city, acted
in this spirit his bequest to tho Philadelphia
Library instead of being hampered by fool
ish provisions would, in all probability, have
been made to conform much m ire fully to
the general public good as well as public
coireuience.
Mr. Peabody has gone to his last rest uni
versally respected and beloved. He had
probably not an enemy in the world, and
his death will be mourned as a national loss.
