Friday Morning - - Nor. 10, ,1876.
Jm tiie campaign just closed no rnnn
did more effective service for Tilden
and reform than Pennsylvania's elo
quent and patriotic son, lion. Wm. A.
"Wallace. All honor to such faithful
and fern-lees Democrats.
I'nstivania has gone Republican
Lr a Yerj meagre majority probably
not more than 8,000 and certainly not
more than 15,000. Outside of Phila
delphia the Democrats have a clear
majority in the State of not less than
6,000 or 7,000, while in that cvty Row
an, the radical ring candidate forSher.
iff, has been defeated by about 20,000.
We aie not able as yet to give the
ofllcial vote ir. this district on Congress,
"but the reported majorities in the sev
eral counlies outside of our. own, the
. returns of which are of course official,
fo-"t up as follows: Hertford, for Ileilly,
about 400; Somerset, for Campbell,
1,340; Hlair, for Campbell, about 750
making the latter's majority in the
districtwhich is able under ordinary
cireurastances to give 1,000 majority
for that party, little if any beyond 300.
In the Senatoiial district our candidate,
Mr, Conrad, is defeated by eight or
iiino hundred. And thai is about all
the information we can give on the
ubjeci at present writing.
. --m
Ir there Is any one thing mere than
another for honest men of all parties
to rejoice over, it is the defeat of the
desperate radical ring which has done
f o much during the campaign Just
cloaca 10 demoralize hum tiring re
proach upon the people of tl i t o inty,
not only in a political but in n, moral j
eenne of the word, The unsparing and i
unblushing use of mone3- ami the open
and shameless buying of voters like
fheep irt the shambles, to say nothing
of a free flow of intoxicating leverages,
were the means adopted to accomplish
the end aimed at and that all their dis
reputable doings have proved inade
quato to the task is indeed a subject of
congratulation and s:nccre thankfulness
which honest and true men, no matter
'what their political sentiments, should
take an earnest pride in wherever the
fitcts are fully known and properly ap
prscUited. -
TrtE true and faithful among the
Democracy of Cambria county, aud
of Cambria county,
their name is legion, deserve tobecon
gratulated in an especial manr.ci upon
the success of our whole county ticket
and particularly upon the ekctionofour
candidate for Sheriff, against whom
,the most Infamous and rclcntlces war
was waged and the basest means used
to accomplish his overthrow. Never
in the history of our county has such
a revolting picture been presented as
the one held up to public craze by the
desperate radical ring which fought for
r.scendancr and endeavored by ways
that were dark and tricks that were
vain to capture one of the best offices
within the gift of the people of little
Cambria. And that they did not suc
ceed is owing entirely to the unremit
ting efforts of the faithful sentinels
upon the watch-tower of Democracy,
to the largely increased vote of- the
conntv, and io the fact that nothing
was left undone to secure a full jioll
and an honest expression of public
opinion. Were it not for all these re
sults combined we might to-day be
called upon to deplore a radical vic
tory won by oucof the worst elements
1 hat has ever entered the political arena
In Cambria county. Thank Uod,
however, that their lavish expenditure
of large sums of money tocorruptPem
oratic voters, their oft repeated at
tempts to secure their cherished object
ly parading affidavits which were
either false in themselves or without
Application to the matter at issue, and
their thousand aud one other plots and
counterplots to defeat Mr. Hyan, have
all fa'Ied to bear the much wished for
fruit. Of Mr. Davis himself, now that
he has by the will of the people been
.iorced to retire once more to the shades
nf private life, we have no wish to say
a disparaging word, knowing full well
that the defeat he richly merited, if not
for his own sake at least for the sake
of the desperate ring that surrouuded
and goaded him on to his own political
min, is a load eufiicicnllj heavy for
even his broad shoulders to bear. We
cannot tint exprc.33 the hope, however,
that be baa learned a lesson that will !
j
ritber keep him out of politics for all
time to come or else i ml nee him. and
" i!s friends to conduct future campaigns
on a much higher plane ot political
principle and moral rectitude than has
marked the one that ha jii9t closed
with so much disaster Irt tliedcepernte
tnen of the radical faith who took aif
active part in it.

Tilden and Hendricks
UNDOUBTEDLY ELECTED!
BJTOXKT RMWM BSD.
I'EAfE AND GOOD WILL HtOfLUHER
On the morning after the election
the Republican press and people very
generally conceded thi victir to Til-
i den and Hendricks, but on Thursday
5 morning the political atmosphere grcv
more Jiaycs-y, ana up to nearly noon
i on Friday the news was of such a char
acter as to leave the matter in doubt,
though the probabilities of n Demo
cratic triumph were by all odds the
best. At the time mentioned, however,
the matter was set at rest by the receipt
of a dispatch from Lak City, Florida,
announcing that the Democrats had
carried the State by about MOO, thus
securing tor Tilden and Hendricks four
more electoral votes, which, added to
the 184 already conceded to be certain,
gives the Democratic candidates 188
votes, or three moie than is really nec
essary to elect. In addition to all this,
there is every reason to believe that
Louisiana and SomUi Carolina are nil
right for the good cause, and that their
electoral votes, 15 in all, will be added
to the Democratic column. With this
gratifying intelligeuce we put our pa
per to press, confident as we arc that
i no turn of events can possibly 'change
the present aspect of affairs.
---
With the glad tidings of Tildcn's
election and the glorious triumph of
the Democracy of Cambria over the
despicable radical ring in this county,
cornea the sad thought that a good and
trnc man has been stricken down in
the person of our noble and faithful
young Congressman, Hon.John Reilly,
against whom not a word of dispar
agement could be uttered and to whom
the people of t'jis district owed a debt
of gratitude which they shonld have
been proud and anxious to repav by re
electing him to Congress. Why this
has not been done it is useless now to
inquire, but certain it is that no act of
Mr. Reilly has alienated from him the
confidence and trust of his fellow citi
zens of all parties, and his defeat there
fore cannot be accepted as any reflec
tion upon his honor and integrity.
Cambria county, we are glad to know,
has done her entire duty toward him,
and if his own county had come up to
the work with anything like that
unanimity which she owed to herself
and her 'honored citizen, there would
lie quite a different and much more
creditable story to tell at this particu
lar juncture.
Tn.nEN's IltrMAXiTV. A little incident
which illustrates the innate humanity of
Mr. Samuel J. Tilden. in thus related by
one of our most prominent physicians :
Nt long since a poor woman who earned
a procariousliving hy sewing died of cancer.
During her life, among tho families who
employed l.er was that of Mr. Tilden.
When I was fust called to see her I found
her in a littlo room in a tenement house
sufferiug from a painful cancer. Soon it
1-ccame difficult for her to work, yet she
was Mill employed at this gentleman's
Iioum being permitted io do only what
bttle she could without harm to herself, she
being too proud to accept direct charity.
Her good employer was elected Governor of
the State. At this time the poor woman's
uisease nan so rapidly increased that work
was imj.ossib!e. .Many would now have
auvisci aiwt urged herto go with b

THB FORTUNE AND FAMTILT OF THE DYINO
, CARDINAL DKVOTED LIKB.
In a paragraph of this morning'8 issue of
the Hun, says a writer in that paper, pur
porting to give a biographical sketch of the
dying Cardinal Antonellf your informant,
among other inaccuracies, says ' '.'Al
though receiving, with other Cardinals, a
s alary of $4,000 per annum, he is provided
witli bo many wealthy benefices that be has
accumulated an immense fortune." I am
certain that, like all trae-bearted Ameri
cans who are lovers of the truth for its own
sake, you would not willingly and know
ingly utter a word that could injure the
good name of the lowliest member of the
community especially if he were ,on his
death-bod. Now, ; Ciaeoino ' Ant.Oiielli-
perhaps at this moment before the judg
ment seat of Him who shall -weigh the
merits and demerits of us all is most dear
to the heart 8 of two hundred millions of
Catholics, six millions of whom are Amer
ican citizens, His goon name is near tons
Catholics, if for no other reason, because
he has ho.eu the lifo-loncr and honored ser-
vant of the Holy Bee, and has clung to the
fortunes of the illustrious Pins IX. with a
constancy that no weight or succession of
calamities could shake, and with a courage
proof alike against the threats of the as
tassin and the slanders of a hostile press.
You, sir, are not one who would learn
history : from a Nicolina, a Gavazii, an
Edmund About, or a Legge ; you would
not condemn, still less hang, a dog on their
testimony. Vet, such are the sources
each lying voice re echoing the utterance
of its predecasoi-frora which our popular
press have received tbe now widespread
opinion that Cardinal Antonelli "has accu
mulated an immense fortune" from the
benefices bestowed opon him by the Pope,
or his clever rnanipnUtion of the Papal fi
nances. What is the truth about Cardinal An
tonelli's fortune? lie is the 6on of an
Italian nobleman, noted throughout Italy
for his great wealth aud talent as a finan
cier. The family is noi a new one ; there
were Antonelli members of the College of
Cardinals in the last century, and at the
beginning of the present, when the cele
brated statesman was but a babe ; even
then the family was neither obscure uor
im novel ished. Gicomo Antonelli inherit
ed, like his brothers, a' splendid fortuno
from his father, with his father's aptitude
for business. ' When lie entered tlie service
ofthe church he brought hi piiucelv wenlth
wiili biro, and used it as those lest ac
quainted with tho facts can tchtify, in a
princely spirit. ' Even were he a poor man,
disposed to grow rich on tho revenues cf
his office or benefices, the times on which
he fell, the gradual impoverishment, aiul
final suppression of all such benefices would
have left Cardinal Antonelli but few op
poii unities of enriching himself or bis
family. As it was, evcu before the l'ied
montese. Gauls possessed themselves of
Home, the yearly salary of f 4,000 allotted
to each Cardinal from the revenues of his
church, with the additional salary of $1, 400 !
enjoyed by the Secretary of Ssale, cannot
strike any of 5'our first-class Protestant
pastors of New York as exhoi hiant.
Moreover, since 1S70, neither the Pope nor
Cardinal Antonelli, nor indeed any one of
the high officers of the Papal Court, ever
accepted one dollar of salary from the
usurping royal government. The heroic
Secretary of State may have filled the duties
attached to other onerous offices, with the
abnegation displayed in discharging his
own ; but these additional labors, while in
creasing his rewards in another world, ob
tained him in this only such misrepresent
ations as that into which your informant
was led incautiously.
Shall I tell you how such men as Cardi
nal Antonelli and the late Archbishop De
Merode employed the princely patrimony
they brought with them to the service of
the Holy See in its darkest and most needy
hour? There are still, in spite of ruthless
suppressions and confiscations, many noble
institul ionR of benificence and learning in
Home, in the Papal States, and throughout
Italy, which were the recipients of contin
ual munificent aid from both of these high
minded prelates. There are among the
6tudants that have issued from the Propa
ganda, and its sister colleges in Home,
many a devoted priest and bishop, even
here in our America, who could thrill your
Own, and all Aniercau hearts, naturally so
generous, with nnmberlesslnstances of the
most delicate and bountiful charity on the
part of the great Sonninese statesman, as
well as on that of his old associate in the
pontifical ministry.
To be 6ure, Cardinal Anfoneili dwelt in
an historical palace painted and furnifched
by Italian genius ; so did De Merde ; and
so does the Pope himself, for that matter.
But yon, sir, whose superior knowledge
and traveled experience have enabled you
to see behind splendid surroundings iIia
undo realities, you cannot but be aware
that there is not a man cn. the editorial
staff of tho Sun at this momeut whose
habits are not more luxurious or expensive
than the simple-hearted old Pontiff, and
his proverbially abstemious minister. An
tonelli's life was devoted to Pius IX. and
for this we Catholics honor and revere hu
name ; his piesence was ever accessible to
the injured and his purse opened to the
needy, and for this our common humanity
will bless him. It were well for us, at the
beginning of our secoud century of nation
al life, if those who a,pire to servo the
State could bring to it a fortune that should
place them above dependence, temptation
and corruption. Let us wait and see
whether or not the dying Cardinal will not
have given to the needs of his aged master
aud the service of the universal church the
remnants of the fortuue received from his
! father. ,
'When the Vandits made their recent
raid in Minnesota on the Northfleld Hank
they captured near Mankato an inoffensive
German named Dunning. After he had
piloted them to a loadway which they
wished to find, they calmly debated the
question whether they should permit bim
to go on bis way or kill him 011 the spot.
After tbe question had been dibcussed quite
freely a ballot was taken, and the German's
life was saved by the vote of Charley Pitts,
the robber, who was subsequently killed
near Madelia. Dunning was compelled to
take an oath that be would never speak of
his experience to a human being. Never
was mortal man so dreadfully scared I He
could not shake off tho panio terror. He
moped about for a few weeks after the
memorable iuterview, and was in momen
tary dread of the return ,of the bandits.
He finally sold bis effects, packed his chest,
and started for the East, fully determined
to put tho ocean between himself and bis
captors. - ; " ;

CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT.
The brig Nellie Ware, Captain Ashbnry,
from Minatitlan, arrived atJNew York
Thursday after a stormy voyage of forty
days. Captain Ashbury made the follow
ing statement: We had tine weather to
Thuisday, October 19, when off Jupiter
inlet we encountered a hurricane from
east-northeast, blowing dead ou shore,
which was not very far distant. We carried
considerable sail until it was all blown
away. Kept constantly heaving the lead
durinc the night, but could pot exactly tell
tbe depth. . The last sounding we Ropposed
to be aoout seventeen iauioms. At two a
w.-ourrast sail was Wown-away -and -we441wWia-a3tt---232iii
were driftinc to leeward very fast. At four
A. m. the wind shifted to the southeast,
when we wore ship and headed off shore.
Friday, October SO, forenoon, a terrible
eale was blowing from southwest which
i came in heavy pulls. At four r. m, that
day the wind moderated and it cleared in
I the west. We got all hands to wort and
cleared the wreck. On Saturday, October
21, we made what Bail we could and bore
up for New York.. The next day, Sunday,
! at seven A. m in latitude 28 deg. 42 in in.
north, longitude 77 deg. 33 min. west, we
saw a dismasted vessel about six miles to
wind ward .of us. In the afternoou we beat
up to her and found her to be the schooner
Katie P. Lnnt rf Tremont Me.) Capt. Lo
pans and btnind from Brunswick, Oa., for
St. Jago(Cnba) with a cargo of pine lum
ber. She was in a most deplorable condi
tion, her masts and jihboom gone and her
decks swept clean. We sent a boat to her
and took off her captain, bis wife and crew
and brought them to this port.
Captain Lopaus was interviewed and
stated as. follows : We sailed from Bruns
wick, Ga., on Sunday, October 15," with
licht westerly winds and fine weather.
That night the wind shifted to the north
and east, blowing fresh. On Monday it
was blowing a s'rong breeze and we short
ened sail. During the day the wind in
creased to a strong gale from noitheast.
The weather became hazy and the vessel
began to leak. Next day,, the weather
moderating, e made all sail. Dining the
night of . Wednesday, the 18th, it blew a
fretfi gale from the northwest. We put
the vessel under short sail and as she was
leaking badly all hands were put at the
pumps. Wednesday morning the wind
moderated and came more from the cast
waid. At ten a. r. we wore ship to the
northward and set the jib, with a heavy
sea running from the southeast and the
vessel laboring heavily and leaking badly.
At this time wo were in latitude 9 deg. 12
min. north, longitude 77 deg. 3C min. west.
On Thursday, at noon, the wind and
weather stood the same. In the afternoon
the wind increased and we shortened sail.
The barometer "as unsteady. By mid
night it was blowing heavy, the vessel being
under three reefed sails, and all hands at
the pumps. . Fiid.iv, at dayliuht, there was
every sign of a hurricane. All hands were
kept at the pumps and the barometer kept
falling fast. At hair past nine A. M. the
vessel was thrown on her beam ends, and
we had to cut away the mainmast to l ight
her, which can fed away the foremast.
When she righted the decks were swept of
everything deck load, forward h(usc and
loose spars and gear. The vessel was full
of water. It was blowing a hurricane. At
1 1 A. M. tbe barometer stood very low and
the sea making a clean brrach over the
vessel and through the cabin, staving the
bu'kheadx aud everything in the cabin, and
driving all hands on the top of the house,
where they lashed themselves as best they
could for safety. My wife with her child
in her arms was washed off the house, but
having a roje made fast around her she
was hauled onboard, but without the child,
which was drowned. Myself and another
child were washed in the cabin and nearly
drowned. When I recovered myself the
child was gone, having been washed
through the cabin. .
At midnight the wind shifted to the
northwest, which made the wreck lny easier
and gave vis a little shelter in the after
companionway, Which was not washed
away. Tho weather moderating we took
a look arouud and fout.d the provisions,
except a can of tomatoes and the water, all
gone, and the deck split open. Saturday,
the JJlst, we kept a lookout for a sail, but
none came in sight. : Suuday we made a
sail six miles, heading to the northeast;
after awhile wo made her out to be brig,
nnder short sail. We hoisted a shirt on a
board as a signal to her, which she did not
seem to see, as she kept ou her eoursa until
noon, when she was almost out of sight ;
she then tacked and bore up for us. While
the sail was coming toward us we caught
a shark, which we managed to roast in an
old stcv w found. Partly roasted, we
found it tasted good an J sweel, b'Uhad no
water to uni.it wan it. At aaii-past ion:
tho wind was very light and the vessel
coming very slowly toward us. Shortly
after she sent a boa to us aud brought us
on board the vessel, when we found her to
be the brig Nellie Ware, Capt. Ashbury,
from Minatinlan for New York. ' Captain
Ashbnry did everything in his power to
make us comfortable, and our thanks are
due to him for the kind manner in which
be treated us. My wife was badly bruised,
and had very little clothing ou wheu we
were lescued.
The Butter Scclpthesb. An exhibi
tion of modeling iu butter was given yes
tciday afternoon in the Commissioner's
Itoom, in the rear of Judges' Halt, by Mrs.
Carolina S. Brooks. The modeling of a
fae tiniile of a human face was executed by
the artist iu the presence of several"Com-
: - 1 r t , - . .
uumioiitMN, meniuers 01 ine omen s cen
tennial Executive Committee, and repre
sentatives of the press, the sculptress giving
a practical demonstration of her method cf
taking casts in plaster of works of art. A
quantity of butter, probably ten to fifteen
pounds, was placed in a granite ware dish,
and pressed down as compactly as pownbla
with a small wooden, spoou-shaped imple
ment, which, with another of like pattern,
are the only tools made use of, and then
deposited fr some five minutes in a refi it
erator, in order to give the material the
proper elasticity. The woik was then be
gun, and as the outline of a human head
began to develop itself the artist occasion
ally consulted a mirror, and by noting the
lights aud shadows in the reflection of her
own face, was enabled to apply these in the
sculpturing of the face before her. Tho
successful completion of the task was
heartily applauded by the audience. Vhila.

Tho Midway (Ky.) Svn says : We

A Demented Son Shot Dead jit His
Father. In the jail at Poughkcepsie, X.
"IT., is an ignorant mountaineer named
1 Sicpltetl Cooper, aged fto years, who is
chargcu with the clearest uu most terrible
case of murder tnat was ever recorded iu
Dutchess county. Tie was not Irly
committed until late on Saturday afternoon.
He is a resident of the locality in the town
of Dover known as Cooperstown, and was
fie bead of a family composed of his wife
and his mother, the lister 89 yeais of age,
and a son, Stephen Cooper, jr., aged about
twenty-five. Like many other families in
the mountains of Dutches county, this one
was of ft low, ignorant character, and the
members thereof supported themselves by
doing odd jobs for the farmers thereabouts
and by picking berries in their season.
Some time ago the son, Stephen jr., became
partly insane, and was at times abusive to
members of the household, and iu other
ways was very annoying. Last spring he
violently assaulted a man named Ducll, a
prominent citizen, and was arrested and
sentenced to the Albany Penitentiary for
three months, being released somo time iu
August last. He had had several quarrels
with the father, and on Monday bad
another, the result being death to bim at
the hands of the old man, who shot bim on
bis own doorstep.
For some unaccountable reason, the
father was not arrested for the crime, and
the victim - was buried a day or two after
ward, without even a post mortem exami
nation being made. Heariug r all the
above facts. Coroner llichatd EavJcy of
Poughkecpsie went to the scene of .he
murder on Friday, had the body exhumed,
wade a post mortem, and held an inqacst.
There has been a household tradition
iti regard to the propriety of salting al.iid's
tail before catching it, but Mother (loose
has never liitittd that it would be well to
throw sand in the eyes of a bear. Mr.
Smith Mr. Jesse Smith of "Ellis county,
Texas, to be more seen rate has adopted
this device with striking saccess. He and
his wife were walking homo one eveniug
two weeks ago on the railroad track, and
were talking about a tea itartv at wbJM,
they had been present.: -Suddenly a large '
black bear crossed the track. - Smith j
Jesse, the aforesaid though unarmed, was '
not inclined to desert bis wife. A happy '
thought sand. The soil was sandy,' and i
gathering up handful he rushed toward'
oruin and liirew it into his face. The bear
recoiled.. Smith repeated the exporimeut
and compelled the cnemc to n.i.t
