The deatb of Dr. b'tantorj, Auditor
QeDexal elect, ia likely to give rise to- a
rerj serious unpleasantness between Gov.
Geary and bis Radical friends in tbe
Legislature. The GoTernor, we under
stand, claims that under the act of As
eembly on tbe subject he has the power
to appoint an Auditor General for tbe full
term of three years from tbe first Tuesday
of May next. It is said that tbe Radi
cals will not quietly submit to this exer
cise of power on the part of the Governor.
A hasty reading of the Act would induce
one to adopt tbe Governor's views, and
we statod last week that such was tbe
law. This, however, is clearly not the
case, as will be seen from tbe section re
lating to vacancies in that office, which
is as follows t
"Tb general election law now in foree for
tbe choice of a gorernor of this Commonwealth
ball rtgnlate tbe election for auditor and sur
veyor ganeral ; and in case any vacancy should
occur in either of said office, by death, resig
nation or otharwisa, the aame shall be filled
by anointment of the governor ; and tbe person
so appviutftd ahull continue in office until the
cud of the term for which his predecessor was
elected."
This section can bear but one construc
tion, and that is, that a vacancy in tbe
of Hoe can only be created by tbe deatb,
resignation, or some other disability of a
person, not merely chcttd to tbe office,
but who is in tbe actual discharge of its
duties. Dr. Stanton never was Auditor
General d J'ucio, and therefore could not
be tbe ' predecessor" in the language of
the section, of any person appointed by
the Governcr. Tbe rational way of dis
posing of the difficulty would be for the
coming Legislature to pass an Act au
thorizing the election of an Auditor Gen
eral next October for tico years, and also
confer on the Governor the power to ap
point one, whose term of office shall ex
pire on the first Tuesday of May, 1873.
To prevent future difficulties, tbe law as
it now stands ought to be amended. A
Democratic Legislature with a Demo
cratic Governor would soon settle the
question, but as tbe ways of Radicalism
are crooked and bard to comprehend, we
cannot predict bow tbe Gordian knot will
be untied.
About a month ago an election was j
held in Texas for four members of Con
gress. The telegraph informed the coun
try that the Democrats had carried the
State by a majority of forty thousand and
bad elected all their four Congressmen.
This was all true, and the Radical press,
accepting the result as an accomplished
fact, acknowledged the defeat. Iy some
devilish legislative enactment of that
State, it seems that all the election returns
are required to be sent to the Governor.
Of course this law was intended as a
swindle and a cheat on the ballot-box,
and it now turns out that Davis, tbe up
etatt Governor of Texas, has absolutely
refuse J to issue certificates of election to
three of the four members of Congress
who were elected. This is said to be a
land of liberty in which tbe voice of tbe
people is supposed to be supreme. In
Texas, however, this theory is a mere de- j
lusion. Davis, in view of the coming !
political storm that was to sweep Radical
ism with all its corruptions before it, bad
resorted to tbe most arbitrary, oppressive
and illegal measures to save his party of
public plunderers from defeat, and now
that tbe honest men of both parties in that
State have repudiated him and his ring of
ltadical robbers, he attempts to nullify
popular opinion and to treat the solemn
verdict of the people with acorn and con
tempt. Talk about tbe election frauds of
the Tammany party inNew York! They
ere trifles light as. air to this shameless
outrage this wholesale disfranchisement
of threefourths of tbe people of an entire
Stale.
Only a few weeks ago tbe Radical prees
of oar own State sent up a loud bowl of
indignation over the refusal of two return
judges in the Cumberland and Franklin
Senatorial District to sign a certificate of
election in favor of tbe Radical candidate.
Th'n it was their ox that was gored.
Now they withhold their wrath from the
usurper Davis and tacitly condone his un
paralleled villainy, because the objects of
bis venom happen to be Democrat, i'ast
experience has taught us not to expect
justice for a Democrat at tbe hands of a
Radical Congress, and if the majority of
that body will sanction this gigantic fraud,
then the election of members of Congress
by the people of Texas ought to be abol
ished and the Governor of that State be
invested with their choice.
On the day of the election in New York
city, that brace of modest and model fe
males, Mrs. Victoria C. Woodbull and
her sister, Miss Tennie C. Claflin, made
a vigorous and heroic effort to exercise
what they claim to be tbe highest earthly
glory of a woman th right to vote. -Armed
with the constitution of tbe State
and doubly fortified, as they confidently
believed, with the Jourlscnth and Jifltcnth
amendments, they proceeded to tbe place
of voting in tbe Twenty-first Ward in
search of tbe ballot under a most embar
rassiDg difficulty. A lengthy and anima
ted dtscosaion look place between Victoria
and tbe officers of the election, touching
the legal right of her and her sister to
exercise the franchise". Tbe guardians of
(he ballet-box, however, were inexorable
and impervious to her logic, and tbe bal
lots of tbe firm of Woodhull & Claflin
went to protest like so much worthless
paper. Tbe disfranchised twain retired
from the polling booth sadder and wiser, it
is to be hoped, than when they entered it
Mrs. Francis Rose M'Kinley, an am
bitious female politician of tbe Nineteenth
Ward, tried the same experiment. She
made the most elaborate preparations for
this, the turning event in ber life. As
one of tbe papers describe ber, she was
"attired in a erevt cceurtilk dress paniered
a la postillion, with organdie insertion and
gathei-ed tucks " (whatever all that means,)
and being thus arrayed in all tbe pride,
pomp and circumstance of glorious dress,
presented berself at the election board,
ballot in band. It was a sight refreshing
both to gods and men. It was, however,
all to no purpose, as she was repulsed in
the same manner and for the same reason
as were Woodhull and Claflin. Her
"panier Ia postillion" utterly failed to
impress the inspectors of tbe election, and
on that most important occasion to her
was more for ornament than use.
Mrs. Margaret M. Miller was more
fortunate. She lives in Tweed's district,
where tbe election officers are disposed to
be very accommodating, and where the
law on the subject of voting is liberally
construed, so that all who offer may enjoy
that priceless boon. Mrs. Miller voted
without fear, let or hindrance, and as she
triumphantly retired from tbe ground,
announced with a pleasant and bland-like
smile that she had voted for "Old Bill
Tweed." When a woman cas's her first
ballot for "Old Hill Tweed," public opin
ion will be slow to accept the moral in
fluence argument so much relied upon by
tbe advocates of female suffrage. If Mrs.
Miller is a true type of tbe coming female
suffragist, an increase of ballots from that
source would not be calculated to preserve
the purity of tbe ballot-box and thereby
promote tbe cause of good government.
Tbe Democratic I'arfy and the
next Presidency.
We publish in another column, to which
the attention of our readers is directed, an
article from the St. Louis Republican con
taining the views of the editor of that paper
on the policy which ought to be pursued by
the Democratic party in the next Presiden
tial election. Although the title would lead
most persons to the conclusion that it U a
Radical journal, yet the Republican has le-Dg
been the recognizsd organ of the Democracy
of Missouri, constantly and fearlessly fighting
its battles with an energy aad ability not
surpassed by any Democratic newspaper in
the couotry. Since the appearance of this
article in the Republican, others of a similar
import have appeared in its columns, and
the one we now publish will serve as an in
dex to those which have followed it. The
position assumed by the editor and the'policy
advocated is as startling as it is unprecedent
ed, and is well calculated to arrest the most
serious thought aud consideration. Without
now fully Committing ourself to the policy
recommended, but trusting the ultimate de
cision of so important a question to the only
tribunal competent to pass upon it, a Na
tional Democratic Convention, we are free to
admit that it contains more political philoso
phy than at first thought would generally be
conceded to it. The proposition is, that the
Democratic parly should abstain from mak
ing a nomination for President, aud that, in
order to aid in expelling the present corrupt
aud lawless administration from power, it
should form an alliance with the moderate
and conservative element of the Republican
ranks, which is wide spread and rebellious,
and known to be bitterly hostile to the re
election of Grant.
It would be more in accordance with the
numerical strength of the two forces, if Ma
homet waa asked to pass over to the mouo
tain, rather than that the mountain should
go to Mahomet. That, however, is a minor
consideration in view of the great object to
be attained. The policy fcuggated by this
Missouri movement, as it has been called,
baa met with the warm approval of a num
ber of leading Democratic papers in various
sections of the country, while it has encoun
tered the stern opposition of others. From
its novelty and boldness this latter was to
have been expected. It is precisely tbe same
policy that overthrew Radical domination
and misrule in Virginia, Tennessee and Mis
souri, in tbe electiou of Walker as the Gov
ernor of the first. Senior of the second, and
Brown of the last named State. Whether
a like coalition on a national field of action
would accomplish similar results, is the ques
tion to be settled. The advocates of this
movement maintain that there is little dif
ference between the views entertained, for
instance, by Judge Trumbull, a Republican
Senator from I'linois, and those heid by Jer
ertrah'S. Black, Uoratio Seymour or Thomas
A. Uendricks in reference to the true policy
on which the government should be admin
istered, and that a Democrat could therefore
vote for Lyman Trumbull without any real
sacrifice of political principle. The best
interests of the country nay, its very sal
vation demand the expulsion of the party
now iu power and the election of an honest
and competent President, with a Congress
to uphold and support his administration.
It is folly to disguise the fact that tbe re
sult of tbe recent elections foreshadows the
re-election of Grant, unless all the forces
opposed to him are combined together. To
avert another term of his arbitrary and des
potic rule, it ;is absolutely necessary that
all who are opposed to centralism and Grant
Ism, whether they are Democrats or Repub
licans, should join bands and prepare for the
work that Is before them. The country can
be rescued from the away of the corrupt and
incompetent men who do control its gov
ernment, if alljtbe elements of opposition to
It will unite and make a vigorous and deter
mined effort. Cao the Democratic party,
unaided by conservative Republicans who
are opposed to Grant's administration, ac
complish that desirable result? If it cannot,
where shall no look for a Moses to lead as
out of worse than Egyptian bondage to the
fair and pxemued land beyond ?

Dear Mao Before I touch on tbia, the
City of the Violated Treaty, I will try, ac
cording to promise, to give a brief sketch of
Queenstown and surroundings. Queeustown,
or as it was once called, the Cove of Cork,
is built on tbe side of a sloping hill. A per
son entering for the first time this magnifi
cent harbor is struck with the peculiar scenic
beauty all around him. .To the left are the
fortified Islands of Spike and Hawlboline ;
on the right is the pretty town itself, with
its streets like steps of stairs, rising one
abeve the other, till tbe top street is higher
than the mastsof the tallest ships lying in the
placid waters beneath ; all around are rock
ribbed bills, studded with picturesque villas
and stately mansions. While in Queens
town I was fortunate enough to see a genu
ine Irish regatta. Every kind of sailing
craft, from the gay geared yacht to the
quaint canoe and curragh. waa represented
there. The weather was beautiful, so every
one turned out in their best. Such a con
centration of Irish beauty and fashion I
never saw before. Talk of American style
and Broadway belles, but, sir, I candidly say
that Broadway, Saratoga, or Long Branch
could not beat this Irish crowd for natural
beauty and graceful style.
After a sail of six miles, full of varied and
enchanting scenery, I entered the city of
bkiel cork,"
situated on the river Lee. Cork is the mnst
important city in the south of Ireland. It
is partly built on an Island and connected
by six bridge?. It has some splendid public
and private buildings. At the head of Pat
rick's street is a splendid statue of Father
Matthew, the great Apostle of Temperance.
The Cork people are proverbial for sweet
tongues, but I muat say a more poli?hed, gen
erous, good-natured people I would not wish
to know. There are some splendid churches,
rich in architectural beauty, in thia city;
among them the celebrated church of St.
Anne Shandon, with its grand chime of
sweet toned bells. The illimitable Father
Mahoney (Prout) has immortalized this in
song :
" On this I ponder
Where'er I wander.
And thus grew fonder,
Sweet Cork, of thee.
With thy bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters
Of tbe river Lee."
The Cork people have of late years earned
the honored title of rebels, owing to their
persistent efforts against British tyranny and
wrong. Within five miles of Cork is the
far-famed
BLARNEY BTONE,
which curiobity led me to visit. This cele
brated atone, which possesses so much magic
persuasion, is situated at a height of one
hundred fand twenty feet on the tower of
Blarney "Castle. Persons desiring to add
some sweetness to their tongues by kissing
it, must suspend themselves by the bee's,
head downward, from the summit of the
tower at the giddy height of one hundred
and twenty ,feet from the ground. Some
poet has versified it as follows:
' There is a stone there, whoever kisses.
" Oh ! he never misses to grow eloquent ;
'Tis he sany clamber to a lady'" chamber.
Or besome a member of tbe Parliament."
Some aspiring politicians from Cambria
county would do well to pay this place a
visit, so that they might be sure of gaining
Congressional honors. Near this famous
castle is a remarkable immense Cromlech,
or Druid's altar, inscribed with ancient Og
ham characters which I could not translate.
Leaving Cork by train I found myself in
four hours after in
THE CITY OF THE VIOLATED TREATY,
whose every page of history is written in
deeds of daring valor and intrepid gallantry.
To anyone acquainted with Irish history tbe
name of Limerick is sufficient to call to
memory the glorious Sarffield. who defended
its walls against the ruthless William, Prince
of Oranee, and his hired mercenaries. Tbe
siege of L'merick forms too prominent a page
in history to need much notice at my hands.
It was then that the mother, the wife and
the sister fought side by side with the son,
the husband and brother, till they put to
ignoble flight the paid English and Dutch
soldiers of the upstart king. William, find
ing that he could not cocquer as ho did at
tbe Boyne and Aughrim, concluded to make
a treaty with Sarsfield and hia men. It was
mads and signed, but like all promises made
by English monarchs, or their minions, it
was shamefully broken ere the ink was dry
on tbe parchment. The stone on which the
parchment rested while it was being signed
is preserved as a living proof of broken
British faith. It can now be seen on a neat
ly finished pedestal, while the stranger can
lead its history, which is cut in large letters
at the base. Tbe next historical place which
attracts the tourist's attention Is St. Mary's
Cathedral, This is situated in that part of
the city known as the English town. It was
built nearly a thousand years ago, and con
tinued to be ussd as a place of Catholic wor
ship until the Reformation, when it was
wrested by British guns and bayonets from
those who possessed it. Any one going
through it need not be told that it was once
a Catholic church, for there, quite visible,
are the ancient "holy water troughs" and
baptismal fonts used by the Catholic ; also
places where the altars were. I paid a six
pence (about twelve cents) to the sexton for
tbe privilege of going np on the tower. This
I did by means of a long winding stone
stairs. From tbe top of this tower I had a
full view of the whole city and surrounding
country. Such a grand scenic tableau can
not be well described. The busy bustling
city is on every side of you, with its numer
ous fine, rich buildings, its many noble edi
fices dedicated to the Lord, whose lofty
spires bear the emblem of man's redemp
tion ; right in view flow, in limpid streams,
tbe monarch of Irish rivers, the lordly Shan
non, on whose broad bosom sail stately ships
bearing flags of various nationalities; away
in tbe distance is tbe very ancient Abbey of
Mungrid, wbose ruined ivy-clad walls re
mind the traveler of yore, when learning,
piety and science fonnd a home under its
roof the whole forming as beautiful apano
ramie scene as could ravish the eye of a gift
ed artist or a poet's lofty imagination.
For the present, dear Mac, I think I have
said enough. I intend staying here for some
weeks to come. I was anxiously looking
out for some papers from Cambria county.
but have received none as yet. I am impa
tient to see tbe big majority rolled up by the
Democrats. As soon as 1 get the papers I
will write again. The weather here is beau
tiful. I trust my last letter reached you in
good time. The enclosed address will find
me for about six weeks.
Yours, very truly, Eriosacd.

Volley of tbo Democracy.
From tbe St. Louis Republican.
The active canvassing of candidates for
the Democratic Presidential nomination of
1872 that took place prior to the elections
in California and Maine, has beeu followed
by a more careful reflection on the whole
subject, and one startling result of this re
consideration is a suggestion of the question
whether there ought to be a Democratic
nomination at all. The idea is startling, be
cause it is without a precedent in our nation
al politics, and is profoundly interesting as
furnishing a precedent itself. The present
theory of party politics is that in important
contests both parties must place tickets in
the field, e?en although one of them goes
through the formality with the consciousness
that ita ticket will be certainly defeated.
The new theory, on the contrary, assumes the
possible existence of conditions in which it
is better for one party not to make a nomi
nation at all, but leave tbe field to ita antago
nists, in tbe almost absolute certainty that
its antagonists will then divide and present
two tickets. While, however, there is no
national precedent for such a course, the ex
periment is not an untried one; the cam
paign of last fall in Missouri furnished a
thorough example of the new idea, and it is
the very beneficent and generally satisfac
tory results of that example that bave sug
gested a repetition of it on a national scale
in the Presidential contest of next year. It
is asked, "Why should not an experiment
that proved so successful ic breaking the
power of Radicalism in Missouri be employ
ed to break the power of Radicalism in the
Union ? Why should not the whole coun
try find deliverance from a party that is es
sentially proscriptive, oppressive, unconsti
tutional, and violent in its policy aud prac
tice in the same effective way in which a
single State found such deliverance?" The
remit of the Missouri election of 1870 was
not indeed a Democratic victory, but it was
certainly a Radical defeat, and tbe abolition
of disfranchisement, the subsidence of ani
mosities, the restoration of concord and good
will among the people, and the revival of
a cheerful interest in public affairs aud in
local enterprises which followed that defeat,
are consequences which vindicate tbe wisdom
of tbe experiment in Missouri, and, at least,
suggest its repetition in a larger field. The
contradictory and dircordant nature of tbe
several State platforms, both Democratic and
Republican, that have been presented to us
within the last few months, show that both
parties bave lost their reckoning, and are
beating about somewhat wildly. The con
stitutional amendments and the legislation of
Congress since the war have eliminated
several very important subjects of difference
and dispute from our national policies, and
the result is a vacuum which confuses both
parties. The only common conviction in
the Republican party is that it ought to be
kept ia power, to give us such partisan leg
islation as it has given us in the last sx
years; and the pre-eminent couviction in tbe
Democratic party to which all questions of
tariff, finance, annexation, and foreign rela
tions are subordinate is that the Republi
can party ought to be overthrown and a
gentler policy substituted for the reign of
force which it has given us. The Virginia
Conservatives, in their late State Convention
declined to adopt the usual reso'n'.ions, and
contented themselves with proclaiming as
their sole platform "opposition to Radical
ism." The fact expresses a common Demo
cratic instinct, and expresses, too, a feeling
which all the liberal and reflecting element
of the Republican party shares. But how
is this opposition to be successful ? How is
the Republican party to be displaced 1 How
is such a consummation to be effected in the
teeth cf the rigorous, semi military laws
which it has devised expressly, to enable it
to carry elections and protect itaelf from de
feat? How is the administration party to
be beaten m 18 1 2, when the people half be
lieve that it will not submit to defeat and
will uphold President Grant in any measure
he may take to avoid it? Or. even if we
could have a perfectly free election in all tbe
States, without executive interference, and
with the certainty that the party in power
would cheerfully submit to the result, what
assurance have the Democrats that they can
carry the country with any nominee of their
party. In the face of tbe defeats tbey have
recently encountered in California. Pennsyl
vania, and Ohio? These are the questions
which the advocates cf the no nomination
policy ask themselves; and even if they are
not conclusive of the merits of that policy,
they are weighty, and deserve to be thought
fully pondered. It is urged, with much rea
son, that the country can ill afford another
four years of Radical rule, with the Union
maintained in its present abnormal, u ore
stored condition, Ku Klux disorders and Ku
Klux laws continued. Executive interference
persisted in and the process of centralization
made complete ; and that if these things are
to be arrested at all the Radical party must
be unseated at Washington, just as it was
unseated in Missouri, by the Democrats ab
staining from a Presidential nomination and
leaving the nomination of a ticket which
they may support to the liberal element of
tbe other party. Even if the Democrats
could hope to nominate a Presidential ticket
and elect it, with Groesback, or Hancock, or
Hendricks, or Chase, or any one else at the
bead, would not the victory, it is asked, be
empty and barren? Would not the Radi
cal Congress tie the bands of the Democrat
ic President, and give us the history of the
Andrew Johnson administration over again?
On the other hand, with Grant and the ad
ministration party overwhelmingly defeated,
as McClurg was defeated in Missouri, a liber
al and patriotic Republican made President,
and a majority of Democrats and liberals
chosen to Congress, would not tbe result.
though materially different from a full Dem
ocratic trinmpb, be an inestimable improve
ment on the present order of things ? It
would, it is true. Involve concessions which
the national Democracy would find it hard
to make ; but would not the happy deliver
ance of the harrassed Southern States, and
their restoration to tbe co equality and dig
nity they are now debarred from being a suf
ficient compensation for these concessions ?
And would not the real restoration of the
Union which followed the triumph of the
new party be its perpetual gratitude and
confidence of tbe people I
A hundred republicans may be default
ers and proved to be such, and half of them
escape by pardon or otherwise, and tbe re
publican party take the wickedness as a
matter of course, and stand by their organi
zation just the same as if all its officeholders
were honest. The president may shield
those who have defrauded the government
in heavy amounts, and it is all tbe same.
Tbe republicans are quite as well satisfied.
But the democratic party Is thrown into
confusion when four of its members are

evidence that fraud has been committed,

virulent disease is attributable thereto.
A Terrible Tragedy. A terrible
tragedy terminated a turbulent matrimo
nial career at Nashville last week. Mr.
and Mrs. Gilmore were two residents of
that city who bad been twice divorced
and three times married. During the
past two years they had been frequently
in the courts, where they had at divers
times vainly endeavored to adjust their
domestic difficulties. Such being the case,
one would naturally suppose that they
would bave aeen at length tbe advisabili
ty of a permanent separation ; but this
does not seem to bave occurred to them
except at rare intervals. Tbe crisis was
finally reached a few days ago, when the
woman cleft the skull of ber husband
with a hatchet, inflicting a mortal wound.
Before Gilmore became insensible he sta
ted that bis wife quietly approached him
from behind and cut bim with tbe hatch
et, without having given the slightest
warning of her intent : that be had imt
finished supper, and bad one of the cbil-
aren tn ins arms, littlo suspecting that she
meant to barm bim. as ther had nnt
quarreled for some time past. She states
mat De naa recently maltreated ber in a
brutal manner, and on the
question whipped her and said that nnn
or the other must die : that h than halt
ed ber a batchet and sarcastically told her
l "it t J
to am mm ; wnereupon fhe took tbe
hatchet and drove it into bis skull Ut u
fall and ran out of the door, be in the
meantime picking it up and throwing it
at her as she passed out. Th le.imnn,.
of disinterested outsiders is damain to
both husband and wife.
