Ik every county in the State, as in Cam bria, about ouclhird of the Democrats re fused to go to the polls last Tuesday. Even In Berks county, that Gibraltar of Democracy, Greeley had a majority of only 2,500 a loss of nearly 4,000 on the 0tobr election. Grant's majority in the Plat may reach 80,000, or perhaps more. We have always believed that it was the solemn and imperative duty of a Democrat to cast bis vote, even in the face of cer tain and inevitable defeat. It 6hows pluck i and courage and a fixed determination never to surrender. But after our unex pected rout in October, and also in view of the fact that we have suffered three successive defeats in Presidential contests, we confess it was not reasonably to be ex pected that the Democracy of the State, defeated and dispirited, would display much of the virtue of political courage. We will publish the official vote of the State next week, which will show the im mense falling off of the Democratic vote in the different counties last Tuesday as com pared with the vote at the October election. thnmctt r. to wit : 1 he first column of figures contains the original return, the second 1iowr the fig ures as altered and counted in making up the official majorities ; Hirtrnnft.

"We direct the special attention of our readers to an article in another column from the Philadelphia Prc.?cf last Mon day, in reference to the unparalleled frauds lrpetrated on the election returns of the Pth of 0ctoler in that city, and also to another article from the same paper show ing what occurred in reference to theso frauds in the Court of Quarter Sessions on last Saturday, before Judge Finletter. These developments are well calculated to Icstroy all confidence in the honesty, fair ness and integrity of elections in that city. It is a burning shame and an indelible dis grace, and will cover tho radicals of Phila delphia with everlasting infamy. The whole question in relation to these damn able frauds will come up before the Court, fr filial disposition, next Saturday. It will then be seen what will be done with the scoundrels who commit these outra geous frauds upon legal voters, who change mud alter the figures of the election returns o suit their own wicked and corrupt pur poses, and thus cheat and defraud the peo ple out of a fair and honest expression of their political opinions. We trust that full and eveu handed justice will be unspar ingly meted out to every villain who was concerned iu the infamous work, and that an example will bo made of them which will prevent a recurrence of tho same in iquitous conduct in the future. How true it ia, in view of these Philadelphia frauds and the general purity attending elections 1a the rural districts, that "God made the country And man made the town." si Th-m Result of Tit-esday's Election. The great and exciting Presidential bat tle has been fought and Hoback Greelet has been overwhelmingly defeated. "We have neither the time nor the inclination this week to enter into any detailed re marks on this disastrous result, but will do so at length hereafter. We believe we a.e safe in saying that Greklkt has re ceived the votes of the following States : Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ken tucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Louisi ana, Georgia and Florida. All the other States, including even New York, have cast their votes for Grast. There are 800 electoral votes altogether, and out of this number we do not thiuk that Grf.e X.ET has received over 100, and perhaps not so many. It is a sad picture to con template. The people, however, have FARTICLI.AB INSTANC ES. The figures bhow alteration to the ex tent of 3,210 votes. Particular instances of irregularity arc thus given : In the First division, Seventeenth ward, the return is not present at all. In the Twentieth ward the return from the Fifth division is not signed by the judge; in tho Eighth divison the vote for S. D. Strock for Representative is palpably altered from 179 to lly, and in the Sixteenth division from 163 to 1S3. In the Twenty-second ward the Fifth division return iu not signed by the judge; in the return of the Eleventh division tho vote of Walton is altered from 142 to 1G2. In the Twenty-third ward the Eleventh and Twelfth division returns are not signed by the respective judges. In the Twenty-fourth ward the Eleventh divi sion return is not signed by the judge. In the Twenty-fifth ward the Ninth division return is not signed by the judge, and the return of tho Fourth division cannot bo found. In ihe Twenty-sixth ward the Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh, and Fifteenth divisions are not signed by the respective judges. Tho alteration of 100 in the Third and Ninth divisions of the Twenty-seventh ward is extended to all candidates whose votes exceed 100. The affidavit goes on to state that the above alterations are sometimes made by merely changing the figures and sometimes by erasures, and are geneially apparent at a moment's glance. Only those which are beyond all doubt have been herein above mentioned. The changes seem to le in a great mea sure confined to the Gubernatorial candi dates, the others receiving the regular party vote. That some of the envelopes containing the hourly lists of the divisions are missing, and some of the division returns appear to be altered upon every candidate, but tho correct return cannot bo accurately ascer tained and is, therefore, omitted. Duly sworn to and signed by the affiant. THE ORDER. Mr. Miller on commenting on the affida vit, and in explanation of and as a prece dent for his present position beforo the court, referred to the case of Prothonotary Donegan, when he was called before tho court by Judge Pierce, who, of his own mo tion, bound the late Prothonotary ortir to auswer for selling or permitting to be sold official papcrson lilein his office. Mr. Mil ler thought that his Honor, Judge Finlet ter. might, on tho same principle, oider the present Prothonotary. Mr. Loughridge, to come in and explain the alterations and at least tho loss or absence of envelopes con taining many of the returns. The judge, after considering a moment, said he had no objection to granting any order which would bring the subject before the court. There seemed to be no allocation in the affidavit I against tho Prothonotary. Mr. Miller hero biikscmcu cue statement oi tne absence oi the hourly returns. The judge then said he woutd fix next Saturday for the Pro thonotary to come in and explain. On this the following order was made and sigued by the judge : And now, Nov. 2, 1S72, the court grant an order upon the Prothonotary of the court to appear on Saturday, the 9th inst., and produce all the returns of the election of the 8th of October last, and account for or explain tho absence of thoso not pro duced and the apparent alterations of thoso produced.

A couple of weeks since some friends invited Mrs. Thomas Ferris, living in the town of Litchfield, to accompany them to the neighboring town of Allen. Shortly after their arrival there Mrs. Ferris was induced to drink a mix ture of ale and gin, she supposing she was drinking ale, which had the effect of stu pefying her. The party soon afterwards returned to Litchfield. After her arrival homo Mrs. Ferris was given medicine to neutralize the effect of the mixture, and soon after she exhibited symptoms of deli rium, and growing rapidly worse, in the course of a day or two she became a rav ing maniac, and was taken to the County Asylum in a raving conditio.!, from which state she has not recovered. She wore at the time a quantity of valuable jewelry, which is alleged to have beeu stolen while she was intoxicated, and it is now thought that the mixture was drugged by her com panions to enable theiu to rob her. The husband of Mrs. Ferris was at work in Ad rian at the time, and from her delirions condition it could not be learned by whom she was accompanied.

This is exclusive of the repeating, ersonating, and ballot box stuffing by the tools of the Ring on the, same day. We now verily believe that an examination of the entire returns and a contest in which the frauds committed, but not apparent upon them, could be exposed, would put the stamp of guilt upon at leat five hundred men in Philadelphia, and show that Charles R. Buckalew carried Philadelphia by a clear aud ample ma jority. It is to be hoped that such an examina tion will be had, and that the men who sold the honor of tho Republican party aud betrayed the Commonwealth may meet the fate they deserve. We expect a change to be made in our laws soon, which, if it will not make the perpetratiou of frauds at elec tions impossible, will secure their certain punishment. With this change, an incor ruptible judiciary, and a proper, public spirit, we are not apprehensive of (the fu ture. Fraud may triumph for a while, but it will not flaunt the evidences of its guilt in the faces of our jieople much longer. This commuuity, patient and long-suffering as it is, has the virtue and manhood not to connive at and endorse a wrong. When once thoroughly aroused, its power' of truth aud honesty will be more than a match for all the coi nipt ions aud weapons the enemy cau use. And for resisting these wrongs The Press has beeu made a target for un measured proscriptions by men calling themselves Republican leaders ! Eveu the Union League was dragooned to read us out of the Republican party, aud our mer chants were canvassed to attack us in our business. We hope the gentlemen of the League and tho great leaders of commerce in this city will read the record spread be foro our courts on Saturday, that they may understand at onco our motives and the enormity of tho injustice perpetrated upon the ballot-box in the name of the Repub lican party. And this is but thebeginuing of the eud. Bcarin mind also.that these proved fraud were not necessary to the re-election of Grant, as the vote on the candidates for Congressmen-at-large abundantly estab lishes. They were alone planned to save Hartranft and Allen, and to send to Har risburg a corrupt Legislature. What Re publican who loves his great party will not blush black with anger at outrages carried on in the name of that glorious brotherhood, followed by an odious ostra cism of the independent paper bold enough to oppose them ? What Republican will not insist upon the punishment of the elec tion officers who have thus deliberately spoliated the ballot and 6ent men into offi ces and trusts to which they hare neter been elected T - We look to tho Constitutional Conven tion to reform these frightful abuses ; but is there no way to punish election officers who have boldly altered election returns and so trampled under foot our most sa cred franchises? The scene on Thursday, the 10th ult., after the election, when the Return Judges met and adjourned without being sworn or casting up the votes, aroused the detestation of nearly all our newspapers. Now we realize the secret of this stupendous wickedness. The frauds in the dirision could not be exposed by a fair final count What safety is there for Philadelphia, for our Pennsylvania, for our whole coun try, if crime like this is to go unrebuked and unpunished? Phila. Press. Missouri have been obtained from the sur vivors, who have arrived here : When the boat which was saved left tho burning ship one boat was seen, with its keel upward, with two men ou it.

For forty minutes after the rescued boat left tho Missouri they saw the. passengers and crew, who remained on board, crowd ed on the afterpart of the 6hip. It is said that the fire was first discovered on the lloor of a locker in the pantry, and a cry of fire was immediately raised. Wet carpets were at once put on the fire by the pantry men and others, and the steward reported to the passengors that the fire was out. The alarm was given while the pas sengers were at breakfast, but on receiving the steward's report that the fire was ex tinguished, breakfast was resumed, and the fears of the passengers were quieted. Within two minutes, however, several voices screamed lire from the 6toke hole. All was then confusion. Within twenty minutes three boats were launched. IntLe rescued boat, with the exception of a few pieces of sugar cane, there was neither food nor water, and only two small oars and one large ono. Neither were there any sails, or anything to make them of. It was from nine A. M. of the 22d inst. until two P. M. of the 23d before assistance was obtained. At that time the schooner Spy was sighted, and the rescued party pulled vigorously to her. The &py took the survivors to Hopetowti on Elbow Key, where they arrived about seven P. M. on the 53d. On the 24th a schooner was sent to the burning ship with charts and full directions where to find her, and with in structions to look for the ship's boats, ami skirt the coast. The schooner returned about midnijrht on the 24th, and reported that she had seen nothing of the boat or passengers. The sea was heavily on the reefs. The party left Hopetown at ten o'clock A. M. on the 20th, ami arrived at Nassau at half-past three o'clock P. M. on the 28th. It is said that the donkey pumps of the Missouri were never started. One passen ger asserts that he had hold of the hose for some time, and that no water came through it from the donkey pumps. The two deck pumps were worked for a few minutes only. Within fifteen minutes after the alarm of fire was given the twelve survivors were in a boat, and the liames were coming from the stoke hole in a volume. The ship's course was never altered, and consequently, the llamcs were carried ath wartship, burning up one life-boat on the lee side, and making it too hot to get the other off. Only three boats were launched, two of which were swamped. It is said that seven women and seven children were ou tho Missouri, none tf whom got into the boats. The Missouri's engiucs were stopped, but her sails were left spread and a speed of four knots maintained. Wheu last seen, Captain Greene was working with Purser Hempstead and some of the crew, trying to get off the lee-boat, sur rounded with liames. Eleven of the sur vivors say the boat was never launched, but the twelfth, Captain Culmer, says it was launched full of people, but that it was immediately swamped. Key WrEST, Fla., Oct. 31.

Evening Times relates a conversation with a superstitious night watchman on the New York Central rail road. Said the watchman : "I believe in spirits and ghosts. I know such things exist. If you will come up in April I will convince you." He then told of the phantom train that every year comes up the road with the body of Abraham Lin coln. Regularlyjin the month:of A pril,abont midnight, the air on the tiack becomes very keen and cutting ; on either side it is warm and still. Every watchman, when he feels this air, steps off the track and sits down to watch. Soon after the pilot engine, with long black streams, and a baud with black instruments, playing dirges, grin ning skeletons sitting all about, will pass tip noiselessly and the very air goes back. If it is moonlight, clouds always come over the moon, and the music seems to linger as if frozen with horror. A few moments after and the train glides by. Flags and streamers hang about. Tho track abend seems covered with black carpet, and the wheels are draped with the same. The coffin of tho murdered Lincoln is seen lying in the centre of a car, and all about it in the air and the train behind are vast numbers of blue-coated men, some with coffins on their backs, others leaning on them. It seems, then, that all the vast armies of men who died during the war, are escorting tho phantom train of the President. Tho wind, if blowing, dies away at once, and over all the air a sol emn hush, almost stifling, prevails. If a train were passing, its noise would be drowned in the silence, and the phantom train would ride over it. Clocks and watches always stop, and when looked at are found to bo from five to eight minutes behind. Everywhere on tho road, about the 27th of April, the time of watches and trains is found suddenly behind. This, said the leading watchman, was from the passage of the phantom train. ri iiwtitr v t-. . i i iiu.aui nAn ... . - - i 1 vi . i,. w. , . i. l :n l i 'ii. : .icted at Columbia O., on Friday last, I "V, 1 B .

Some; few weeks since, says the Detroit Free Press, an Indian, known among steam boatmen as "Hank Clay," but whose orig- ! mal Indian name could have been nothing short of Thunder-aud-Lightniug, or some other appellation signifying that he was up to snuff, was found at the corner of Hast ings and Atwater streets so sick that he could hardly stand. The crowd was pro posing to send him to the Marine Hospital, when a mechanic named Whitcly, living on Woodbridge street east, came along. He ascertained that "Hank" had about $70 with him, and offered to take him to his house and care for him at the rate of if 4 per week. Clay consented to go, and was taken off in an express wagon. He was ill for about two few visits from a was pronounced an rigni. it one were writing a dime novel it would be proper to say that Hank Clay and Mrs. Whitley loved at first sight, and perhaps they did. ! At any rate they gtt up an affection for I each other, and last Thursday evening l looked at one another so lovingly across the I supper table that the husband rose up in j his wrath, nnd he told Hank Clay to go out i into tho wide world and never darken his ; dxir again. Hank Clay went. He didu't I utter a war-whoop, draw a tomahawk, or execute any scalp dance on tho doorstep ; but he got under his hat and got over the threshold. On Saturday evening last Mr. Whitley camo home, dreaming of a cheerful fire and a panful of snow apples, and he found tiro house dark and lonesome. He called to "Virginia" several times, but only tho mournful yowl of a cat on tho line fence answered his calls. He soon ascertained that tho wife had packed her outfit into two valises, and that she and Hank Clay had been seen at the Detroit and Milwau kee depot waiting for a train to bear them toward the setting sun. He rushed down there, but the train was rolling on, and his oaths and exclamations only collected a jeering crowd. The wronged husband had a brother in Chicago, and he telegraphed as follows : "Wife is running away with cussed In dian ! Be at depot with officer to catch j her. Kill the Indian and lock up Virginia j till I come. Whether the pairwere caught or not has not yet been ascertained, but Whitlcv sold a watch and some jewelry to get money to i take the trail, and he 11 have Hank Clay s scalp if the stamps hold out. loon; Ben, Tearhrrs, Ladles or ainj.v: ir wnnie.l in every county for ! he . --;!;:.; srJ Bible.' 5j0 Illustrations hi , rTosieotu!5 frea.

On Friday evening last a collision oc curred between an empty coal train and a passenger train, near Jamesburg, N. J , on the Amboy Division of the Pennsylval ma Railroad.

After the collision the lo comotive of the coal.train exploded, blow ing the house of the engine into the fields.
