The republicans make a big crow over
the solid north, and a terrible scold over
a "solid south" and want the soldiers
sent down. Queer!
Tho result of the recent elections
allows that wherover the opposition to
the republican party was united, there
tho republicans were routed. 11
democrats hereabouts learn * l*° n
from this and not again be drawn oft in
to a side arrangement?
Mason, tbw late greenback candidate
Tor governor, on Friday after the elec
tion, made an assignment or t,000 in
favor of his creditors. No wonder lie
went in for unlimited greenbacks-be
needed them.
In Elizabeth, N. Y..a man who is said
to have been dead for aix months, re
ceivod a majority of votes for Justice of
the Peace. M'e should like to know
whether this is intended for the nncleu#
of a new party —dead men revtainH
would not do near as much harm as
many living men elected to office-
Wc mentioned the fact last week that
Gov. Curtin received the full democratic
vote in some counties in the district—
Union keefting in line for him. M e see
that in little MitHin he even got 5 vote#
more than Dill.
It was nothing else that defeated Oor
tin but treacherv among a few demo
crats. aided by the combined republi
can and greenback support and i ame
ron's money.
In Cieartield county Dill's vote was
3,207. and Gov. Curtin'a*3,oM-* differ
ence only of 173.
At a Conference of greenbackers. held
here yesterday, it was resolved to
strengthen "the party." In view of the
late elections the more sensible thing to
do would be to hire an undertaker and
remove the remains, says the New York
Herald.
Hon. C. T. Alexander goes to the aen
r.te with a good send-off, 11ST majority
in his own county and 1627 majority in
the district. We expect to have a use
ful member in Mr. Alexander.
Tiie country would, on the whole, we
believe, like to see the Democrats once
more in power, for the present election
shows that it does not lore the Republi
cans.—New Y'ork Herald.
Awd it is true. Take twcctbirds ofthe
greenback vote which was drawn from
the democrats and add to the regular
democratic vote, and it leaves the rads
in a woeful minority. As democratic
greenbackers won't be green enough to
be fooled thus again, the repnbs may as
well get ready for a Waterloo next
time.
The Delaware Democracy elected to
Congress a man who bad Iseen convict
ed of treason during the war, and who
was fined and imprisoned for his crime.
—Lewistown Gazette, rad.
And yoa rxds have done much worse
than that—Grant and Hayes have been
hugging rebel guerilla Moseby aver
since the close of the war.
A great many democrats who went in
to the greenback arrangement now ad
mit that they were fooled and cheated,
and tbat it was only a republican scheme
to draw votes from Dill on-Mason to
help Hoyt—and it did sleet Hoyt The
same game was played in Ohio, where
it enabled tbe rads to carry the state by
a paltry 3too majority, when the demo
crats could have easily carried it by
25,000, had none of them gone estray on
the greenback movement.
Dill and Mason together have 60,000
majority oTer Hoyt. Of this 60,000 ma
jority there are democrats enough to
have elected Dill by 25,000 majority.
The result plainly shows tbat Pennsyl
vanta is not republican by 60,000, and as
democrats have learned s wholesome
lesson, tbey now see that united Penn
sylvania can easily be carried against
the rads. The republicans knew there
was danger of being swamped in
Pennsylvania hence tbey engineered
the greenbackers to draw democrats away
from Dill; many republicans went into
it, but only as a ruse and to deceive
democrats, for tbe greater part of them
voted the straight radical ticket at the
polls.
We hear of republicans all through
Centre county, who, before tbe election
professed to be greenbackers, yet they
now admit tbey voted for Hoyt, leaving
the democrats blindly to vote for Mason.
This was the case all over our state, and
hence tbe reason of Hoyt's election as a
n inority governor.
We trust that when the Cameron
managers get np another side-sbow,
no democrat will be silly enough to trust
them and go into it.
We are glad that democratic green
backers now hate enough of the thing
and they intend to stand by the
good old organisation hereafter.
Tbe Paris Exhibition was closed, on
Sunday afternoon. 10. It was a grand
affair, from all accounts, yet in no re
spects did it exceed onr own Centen
nial. Tbe total receipts at Paris since
tbe opening were 12,530,749. This is
thirteen hundred thousand dollars leas
than the receipts of the Centennial Ex
hibition, but it ia four hundred thous
and dollars more than the total receipts
ofthe Exposition of 1867, which waa one
of the moat successful of tbe seven great
World's Fairs. The exact figures of tbe
receipts of these seven Exhibitions are
as follows
1851, London. 12,120,000
1855, Paris. 640,000
1862, London. 2042,650
1857, Paris. 2,103075
1873, Vienna. 1,032,390
1876' Philadelphia. 3,813,750
1878, Paris. 2,530,749
It will be seen from the above table
that, while the Centennial Exhibition
etili beads the list by many tbouaands
of dollars, the Paris Exhibition which
has just closed takes the second place.
AS OVTRA GE.
[Steubenville Gazette.]
The defeat of Andrew G. Cartin, the
regular Democratic nominee for Con
gress in a strong Democratic district was
an outrage, and should receive the in
dignant reprobation of every honest
Democrat throughout the .country. How
long will it be until a democratic Presi
dent is elected if every former Republic
can who runs for office on the /lemocrat
io ticket is to be treated as a political
enemy by the mossbacks who ni"w run
the machine? Is that the way tb Re 4*
publicanß got into power?
♦
This is the way to fix them:
Judge Meyer, of the Common Pleas
Court, at Canton, Ohio, sentenced
George Fessler, the defaulting Treasurer ■
of Starke county, to twelve years im- j
{irisonment in the penitentiary at hard
abor and to pay a fine of (60,000 and J
costs.
"SOT in SOVTIt
Slavery is abolished, yet the repnbli-1
cans can't let the South alone. The re- j
cent election' in the south having gone I
democratic, the rad journals Rre getting
abusive, an 1 yell about the "solid
tooth." Wh n Michigan, and Vermont,
and Wiacon u. and Philadelphia go
solid radical, bat s all right in the eyes
of these po onl pharisees, but they
commence to ave the bloody shirt as
soon as tho si th does not go to their
liking and elei s democrats, the sots th
em states havi as much right to vote
democratic as the New England and
western states >ave to voto republican
all the time.
The result o ho November election#
in the south dooa not suit the republi
cans, and they are now clamoring to have
the army sent down there sgain. so that
southerners may take the hint and go
radical or else face the bayonet and the
tvrannv of shoulder straps.
We will see whether the American
people will submit to any more bayonet
elections.
IMPORTANT LIQUOR HRCISIOS.
The liability, of persons selling intox
icating drinks, in Ohio as well as in this
state, for damages resulting from the!
*,*B to whotu it is sold is we,, known.
But New York gvies* step farther and
bv a statute makes the lessor, o# owner
of the property, responsible as well a#
the tenant. An exchange says. New
York adopted a statute of this kind a
few years ago, bot its constitution.'. I '!*
was doubted, and it Las not been gener
ally enforced. A case under it, however
was recently taken up to tlie Court of
Appeals, and the law has been sustain
ed even to the extent of holding the
owner of a building responsible for
damages, as well a# the tenant. It was
this point especially on which the appeal
was taken. The rase was one in a bich
a young man, whilst in a state of intoxi
cation, killed a horse belonging to his
father, by fast driving. Ttie fttlher
claimed damages for the value of the
horse, and sued both the saloon keeper
who sold the liquor to his son and the
owner of the building in which the li
quor waa waLi. He recovered, in the
County Circuit Court, a verdict for 1200,
the ftill valne of the liovse. The de
fendants appealed to the District Court,
where the judgment was affirmed. The
owner of the building then carried the
case up to the Court of Appeals, where it
was argued before a full beach. Ibe
main question involved was the consti
tutionality of the law, especially as to
the liability of the owner of a building,
who had n? connection with the said of
liquor, except to rent the building to be
used for that purpose. The decision of
the lower Courts was affirmed and Jbe
law fully sustained.
This decision will involve landlords
who lease on ldings for saloon#, in a
very wide and complicated responsibili
ty, and will hrve the effect to make it
more difficult r retail liquor dealers to
lease premises -r their business—an ef
fect, no doubt, ntended by the framers
of the law. It will also call attention to
the subject of t e New York law and
others of a simi ar character and start
auew a discussie i of the propriety and
efficiency of this >lan of restricting the
liquor traffic, esj ecially that part of it
which makes tb owner of a building
accountable for t' e acts of his tenants.
The Watchman last week, willfully
misrepresents Dill's county, in order to
show its spite against Curtin. The
Watchman says, "Union county is one
of the counties that mercilessly slaught
ered Curtin at the election." The
Watchman knows this to be a falsehood,
for on the same page it says Union gave
Curtin 1455 votes. Now the democratic
state ticket had in Union Fertig 1448,
Africa 1446, Row 1449. which shows that
Curtin ran ahtad of the state ticket, with
the exception of Dill who, of course, re
ceived more than his party vote in his
own county. Union county democrats
were true to Curtin, and were not at
all infectedwith Meek'a treason. Mis
ery loves company and the Watchman is
raking to find some more bad eggs like
itself.
In Mifflin county Curtin also ran :
ahead of the state ticket.
Curtin was more than double teamed
—he bad to face the greenbackers, re
publicans, Cameron's money and Week's
treachery, which makes it a wonder
that he came out as he did.
The Watchman is known to have been
secretly opposed to Dill and makes this
false fling at him along with its spite at
Curtin.
They didn't get tbat nog—no: Kramy
Brushy, alleged to have swallowed Mrs.
Scbeshangere's five hundred dollar
diamond ring in August last, has just
pleaded guilty to grand larceny, and has
been sentenced to fourteen months
imprisonment. The ring was not re
covered.—N. Y. Herald.
When Emma gets over her 14 months,
we would advise her to come to Penn
sylvania and try her hand at swallowing
the Cameron ring.
The republican party has at lost fallen
into a minority in this state. The total
vote for Hoyt ia 319,667 ; the vote for all
other candidates for governor is 382,471;
showing a majority against the republi
cans of 62.904. The anti-republican vote
of the state is divided thus: democratic,
297,060; greenback-labor, 81,756; tern-.
Iterance, 3,653. At least two-thirds of
the greenback-labor vote came from the
democratic party and more than two
thirds of it will "in all probability here
after be cast for tbe democratic ticket.
Wonderful are toe beauties of our leg
islative apporlioi ments. Philadelphia
with 70.000 Repub' nin voters elects 31
members of the j gislature, and the
Democrats with 56, '*> elect seven. That
is 2,300 Republican \otea elect a member
of the House, while it takes 8,000 Demo
cratic vote* to secur: a like result And
yet the Republicans talk of disfranchise
ment Month. We have it in its worst
form in Pennsylvania.
The Republicans had no objection to
the solid South in the Forty-first Con
gress. In that body they had twenty
two Southern Senators aod the Demo
crats only two; and they had fifty-two
out of the sixty-three Southern Repre
sentatives admitted. Perhaps if they
bad sent decent men to Congress and
behaved themselves otherwise in a de
cent and politic manner the solid South
would not have melted and crystallized
so suddenly into a new form.

HO VSR.
If the Presidential election goes to
the House of Representatives in IML
the Consiiuiuon declares "a majority or
all the biates ahall be necaaary to a
choice." The result of the Congrrosioo
al elections is that the Democrats have
1 secured an undoubted majority in the
• delegations of nineteen Mates. There is
some doubt about the hrtsdauirmim biff
i we judge that the Republican is elected.
Conceding them the State, the Kepubli
r catiH have u majority in the delegation#
< of eiglitepn States, sud California, by
, special act of Congto*#, will ele, i her
member# next year. In the followiug
' nineteen States the Democrats have a
' majority:
• Alabama, Mimourl.
r Arkansas, North Carolina,
j I Via wars Ohio,
Florida, firsgon,
" Georgia, South 4 arolina,
• Indiana, Tennessee,
r Kentucky, Texas,
Louisiana, Virginia,
. Maryland, . West Virginia,
Mississippi,
' The Republicans have secured these
" eighteen, if Nevada is included:
' Colorado, Minnesota,
r lows, Nebraska,
• Kansas, Rhode Island,
' Maine, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
9 Michigan, New Hampshire,
- Connecticut, New Jersey,
Illinois, New York,
Nevada, Pennsylvania,
!f California should elect three of her
four members lVmocratic next Septem
her.then the Democrats will have ten
ty Mates and a majority. If California,
however, goes Republican, the Mates
will he tied, that la,each party will have
niueteeu States, and there can he no
choice by the House. In that event,
tbfi Constitution provides the Vice
President atiaii bcrw President; but
as the probabilities are almost wortain
that if there is no elf"*'© l * ©f President
bv the people, neither will there be au
election of Vice President, the lattet
will be chosen by the beuate from the
two highest numbers on the electoral
!'t. The Vice President so elected will
become President on the failure of the
House to elect.
If the Democratic party carries a ma
jority of the Electoral votes (ora plurali
ty in ou*> there is no choice' it will not
again lose the Presidency. If no party
tins a majority of the Electoral volo the
Senate will elect the President, and the
senate will be Democratic after the 4th
of March next, a l*eniooratic majority
being already elected.
The election in California, however,
next year vs ill be of great interest, be
cause it wiil determine the election of
President by the House should the state
go Democratic. If it goes Republican it
will send the election to the Senate.
There will be a struggle for tbe State to
cover accidents. In 1876 the Republi
cans elected three members, one of them
who lost his seat in a contest, by a ma
jority of one vote, and the iHtmocrau
one member, making the delegation
in the present HouaeuamJ twoand two.
The State is close and doubtful.
It is among the possibilities or proba
bilities, that the candidate voted for by
the Democrats for Vice President in
l&sl, may become President after the
4th of March, IV>l.
.4 GOVT HERS VIEW.
Cits. JOE JOHNSTON' OS IIOHKKT MOKCV A*ij
SOUTH KEN CLAIMS.
Gen. Joe Johnston was interviewed a
day or two ago by the Washington Poet.
After expressing himself in favor of
honest money he thns spoke of the atti
tude of the Mwiiiurrn majority.
"Without any advice at afi upon the
question, 1 will venture to say that the |
altitude of the gentlemen from the
Southern States will be such as to disap
point the irreconcilables of the opposi
tion. who hsve, I see. already begun an
etlort to array a solid North against a
solid South. We wiii probably have
little to'say in reply to Radicals of this
stamp. Our acts will speak more em
phatically for us. Sectionalism was kill
ed last Tuesday, and long before 1880
the 'solid South' and the 'solid North'
wiil be forgotten terms. The people of
the Soo& have known for thirteen years
that the war was at en end, but these
long-rang© Radicals and iUfy-da>* war
riors cannot, seetningiv be brought to a
realization of th'a fact. The revival of
the charge that it is OOr settled policy to
saddle the war debt of the Confederacy
upon the country, is abeura—-contempti
bly so—and it passes my comprehension
ho'w any inUlligent reader can receive
such reck leas inventions with patience.
The South is now as close a part of tne
Union as is New England ; \ irgioia has
tbe same interest in the general pros
perity of the county as Massachusetts
and her representatives, and tbe repre
sentatives of the South wiil be found to
be active in support of all measures
tending to the general good of all sec
tion* of the country as the gentlemen
from Maine or Vermont."
"General, what U your opinion," he
was asked, "of the future of the Green
back party in Virginia or the South T"
"They have no future, sir. They were
buried beyond hope of resurrection on
the sth, and deservedly so. Herein Vir
ginia they had no principle. The corner
stone of their hopes was laid in dishon
esty, and their doom wau fore-ordained.
To their scheme for a piebald currency
they added here the policy of repudia
tion of the Htate debt, and though Con
gressmen can have no share in the set
tlement of that question, still the elec
tion of their candidates would have been
hailed as a signal victorv for the repu
diationists. But, to the credit of \ ir
ginia, they have failed signally, and the
world will now understand that we wrilj
meet our honest obligations."
A ctiriou* will is that of Lingeman, a
German Socialist, which waa filed in St.
Ixiuis last week. His estate is worth
over (12,000 and is bequeathed to the
woikingmen of Europe and America
who belong to the Social Democratic so
cieties,t as follows; To Switzerland,
France, Italy and Spain, one-sixth ; to
Germany, three-sixtha; to Austria, Hun
gary, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Poland and Russia, one-sixth; to the
United States, one-sixth. The will con
tains a list of prominent Socialists in
various portions of the world, and closes
with the declaration "that the true friend
of mankind is in earnest with the parole
'One for all, and all for onethat his
only religion is to do good; that all man
kind is his family and the whole earth
bia fatherland. Farewell, ye men of
labor; and yu women, ere long to be en
dowed with equal right*; —may you ail
live happily, and sometime; think of
your brother." The Socialist legatees
the world over will be surprised to learn
that one or two direct heirs at law have
already turned up to contest the will on
its ground that the old gentleman's
head wj. r&tljer soft.

ty feet in the air. Drilliag was tuspendod
and the boilers removed, the oil in the
meantime flowing on the ground. Work
will be resumed aj soon as arrangements
are made for saving the oil, probably to
morrow. It is thought It will make l.leks
barrels per day, making it the largest well
in the oil country. The greatest eicite
enent prevails among eil men. The mar
ket declined five cents yesterday, with in
dications of a still further decline in con
sequence of the new well, Our production
was excessive before, and as this oponi
some new territory, the prospects for ruin
ous prices for lotno time are good.
