I T, o ff icial vote on Supreme - Judge, has as h en certained, and Judge SILULV WOO i's majority is 922 votes. The whole vote of the State is 534,570, beini 62,800 len than the vote of last year.i The Republican vote is short 40,- -1.50 ; the "Democratic," M,350. Tie falling off in Crawford and Erie counties alone, is 3,000 votes,ch lefty caused by dieaffection on local tickets. In Al legheny, 'there were 4,000 Republicans not at the polls; in Lancaster . 1,800; in Philidelphia 5,000; in Venango.l,4oo ; in Y0r.14 1,000, and so on. Generally, the Repu i bllean vote - in the "Demodititic" counties was more fully polled than in our strongholds. Of these, Somerset was amen* the best organiza Its 1,215 thaj orityageaaded the Cops of BeVord and Fulten, and carried the Legislative dis , _ trict ticket by a handsOine majoilty. The apathy among Republicans was - largely the result of a conviction that Web! votes were not necessary ; and is not the result of a change of opinion. But it Was figgravated, in localities, by injUdid• ous ztominations, which were forced upon the party. oNthe whole, the returns Indicate no dipainutipn in the Republican strength, no weariness of the Republican princi ple; and therefore, - should prodilce no cliscopragement. Pennsylvania is mani festly a Republican State. This election estal4lshes it, if it was ever doubtful; for with every incidental issue against us and with ; considerable factional division a mong US, with an illegal "deserter" vote polled solidly against us, and with a large illegll vote in Philadelpbia, Luzerne and othe counties, the "Democratic" major . ity is merely nominal. We will sweep it away next year easily, and pile a:1,000 Re publican majority on top, and, not great ly exert ourselves.: THE LEGISLATURE. The Republicans have a majority in each branch of the Legislature, and are likeltto retain it, for marry years. For Speaker of the House, two persons are chiefly named, ELISHA W. DAVIS of Philadelphia, and THomes McCemarrr of Blair. Both are old members. The 'fornr was Speaker some years ago, when a meinSerfrom Venango. For Clerk, ih placd Of Mr. BENEDICT, deceased, Gen. iv A. 14 RtrtisELL, of Allegheny, late d jutadt General, J. R. MCAFEE of est more)and, (late Assistant Clerk Capt. E. Ee. Ravel of Berks, - (formerly Clerk), and Gen. J: L. BELFELIKIE of Northamp ton, 'are prougnently named as candi date. .. The State Treasurership excites some interest, as the present efficient officer, WILLIAM H. KEMBLE, of Philadelphia, is not a candidtite for re-election. Sen ator taEOROE CONNELL, of Philadelphia, Gen.. WILLIAM W. IRWIN of Beaver,late Cominissary General of the . State, and Goabox F. MasoN of Bradford, are prominently named. Mr. MASON was a Senator sotne years ago. We have no meads of judging the relative strength of each: P. IS. JOHN HICKMAN of Chester, is also named for Speaker. He was former ly an eminent Representative in Con great: ' THE New York World predfcts that one c ult of the recent elections in Ohio and ennsylvania, will be to cause the white citizens of the South to stand res olutely aloof from all participation in re construction under Congressional legis- Tha" World's wish is father to the thought. It forgets that a .fair propor tion cif the best and ablest whites of the South; are - Republicans, and that the, number of these sensible men is daily increasing. These elections will but stimulate them to greater effort, that Re constrdction and Restoration may not be blighted by "Democratic"-malignity and hate. aThose whites who refuse ,o help in itootuitruction, will illustrate f lhe old saying of "fools Ibiting o ff their npaes to spite their faces." • Tut Demountl's of the Judicial District compesed of Anne Arundel, Reward and Carroll counties, Md., have nominated 01..rvin MILLER of Anne Arundel for ChierJustice, and EDWARD - HAMMOND of He4wagi and' WILLIAM M. HAYDRR of Cgrofi for Associate Justices. MIL LER *as Speaker of the late House of Delegates, is a native of Massathwietts, and a violent Secessionist. HAMMOND is an 101 d Hunker" Democrat, -and was of nose a Rebel sympathizer. HAY. DEN RIMS So open a Rebel that he was in cluded within the disfranchising clanks of the i Maryland Constitution of 1864. Their abrogation, by the adoption of the new donstitution, has restored him to the frenchise, and forthwith he is to be made 4jud g e ! So it pays in Maryland, to haVO been against the country during the Wftr. WE ltaire lost both the Representative 4 in the pranklin and Perry district.

MO GOWArf, who was a gallant officer in the war, and is a most estimable and honor able man. He has a high order of ability, the firdiest principles, and, an education which fits him for public life. He would have adorned the position, and done honor to the district, a majority of whose voters were unable to appreciate his mer its or understand his qualifications. This verdictOvill one day be reversed, and the State Will yet have the benefit of his tal ents anti labors. He knows "how to la bor sal to wait." IN 180, the majority at the polls re volted. #l,t Emancipation. In 1888, they weep* it gladly. In 1817, they are thought by, many to have re+olted at Reconstruction o the basis ofillanhood Suffrage.

AuccrieN nukines Airs vorritams.,. the Den:Loa:sok were guilty of min e than their ainafiumberie frauds at the late election, and practised them all over the State. In this County, they voted deserters whom a State law explicitly disfranchises, and did it with a spirit of dtdaneaf—Welnive also beard of some minors whose votes were received en the falser and unsupported oath of the pat ties themselves. In one of the "Democratic" wards of Scranton, Luzern oounty, the polls were not opened until four o'clock in the afternoon.; and "Democratic" rowdies then drove all Republicans from the polls! In the North District of Wilkes harre township, no • Republican was al lowed to vote, while Democrats are known to have voted overand over again. The same thing was done in other parts of Luserne county. If there were' any Justice to be had for violation of the elec tion laws by Copperhead scoundrels, every one ;of them, with the men who connived atthe outrage, would be in the Penitentiary before the end of the next Court week. But we know the spirit of Copperhead judges and juries too well to expect that. In the "Demooratiet" wards of Phila delphia, Bum McDf.tri.LEN and his band exceeded themselves, having put into the box over 2,850 illegal votes! All of them have been already ascertained ; and three of the defeated Republican candi dates have taken steps to contest the elec tion before the Courts. 4 There is no doubt whatever that Judge SHARSWOOD'S election is due to ILLEGAL voTrwo ; and that upon the legal vote cast, Judge Wilxzems has been chosen Supreme Judge. We believe this will be made apparent, as the facts are devel oped. JANES BUCHANAN received [teen from a delegation of the Hibernian Engine Company, of Philadelphia, on Friday last, and made a short speech informally, in which he spoke of himself as the "last of the public men of his time." In this he was not qqite accurate. Many of his cotempomries have died ; but others are yet living—among whom we mention 'Hon. AVDREW STEWART of Uniontown, who is but a year younger than Mr. Bv- CHANAN ; and Hon. JAMES WusoN of this plaoe, who is twelve years his senior, who served with honor in the 18th, 19th, andenh Congresses, and who was an es teemed associate of CLAY, RANDOLPH, CALHOUN, WEBSTER, SERGEANT, and others like them. He is less known to the public than the "Old Public Func tionary," but his name will not be tar nished with the crimes which make Bu- CRANAN t S a synonym for feebleness, treachery, and shame, and his heart was ever faithful to that country to whose * service he was frequently pledged in ear lier life. Besides these, Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS, Mr. BUCHANAN'S representa tive in Congress, is but one "tar his ju nior, is therefore, "of Mr. BucRANAN's time," and is still left to t4p brave battle for justice and liberty. AsThe callers on Mr. BucHANAN were a lot of Philadel phia Copperheads, it was polite in Mr.. BUCHANAN to ignore the distinguished men to whom we have referred ; but it is not just to allow his remark to go unchal lenged IN the 21st Senatorial districtilN TYßE and. SHUGART, "hemoerats," have the ret t unt. as elected to the State Sen ate; but we understand the elec tion will be contested on the ground of fraud, especially in Juniata and Centre counties. In all of the counties of the district, the votes of "Democratic" de serters were received by "Democratic" election officers, in violation of their oath of office. It is high time, something were done to stop this open and defiant disregard' of the law, at the hands of the mouthing hypocrites who boast, when it 'suits them, of their respect for law. TWENTY years ago, the Democratic Su preme Judges of Ohio decided that men of Mixed blood, in whom the blood of the white race preponderated,. are' voters under the Constitution of that State.— Most of these men-voted the Republican ticket at the late election. and the "Demo crats" talk of contesting the election to throw out these votes. So, it appears the decisions of Courts are to be obeyed when they suit the "Democracy," but to be violently and arbitrarily overruled, when they stand in the way of "Demo create' victories. THE Mends of the "Lost Cause" are gloating with jeY over the late elections in this State and Ohio. They are wel come to all the good they can extract out of thisemall check, which will be, in the path of the Republican party, as a fly on a wheel. They think it is a great affair, and re joice as genuinely as, though more public ly than, they did over the first defeat of the Union army at Bull Butt. < That victory did not save the Rebel Confederacy, nor will this the Rebel Democracy. TH "Democratic" township pout( clans epeetilated eueeeeefully on the wil lingnews at the "Democratic" voters to come out and' vote ; and got, we uncial.- stand, ss.a head for those polled in ex cess of a small percentage over the vote of 1866. Was there ever so shameless a "bargain and"sale?" Yet men who com mit such acts, 4alk of Popular corruption as a thing to be regretted! They evi dently revel in its filth, and get fat on its vomit. - IT is understOod that, the name of Hon. M. RUSSELL MAYER .will be presented to GeV. GLUM for appointment to the vacancy caused by judge RasEinrOOD'S transfer to the Supreme Bench. Gov. Gnsur could not do a more graceful, ap propriate; or popular thing than to ap point Mr. THAYER, whose qualifications are of the highest, and whose claims are unquestionable. THE Republicans of New York are or ganizing actively for the November elec tion. The State Committee are putting in the fiellian efficient corps of canvas sers, and everything indicates hard, steady work. The coolest will be sharp, and the New York RapubOcauszsay win their highest laurebqn this tomPhign.

The Ma ryland State Republican Convention led off by declaring for GuArrr and Manhood Solthsge.. , In Philadelphia, GRANT Clubs are being.formed under the leadership of Ex-Gov. Writ. 11. Maxi, and other active Republicans. A num ber of leading papers in various parts of the country, including the Galena (Ills.) Gazetic--the home of GRANT—have de dared for him and hoisted his name at the head of their columns. Under the influence of the temporary check sus tamed by the Republictin party at the recent elections, the country seems to be turning towards the great soldier, who during the war lead otir armies to victo ry—assured• that he 0 ho saved the nation in 1864, will preserve it from Rebel rule in 1868. THE defeat in Ohlois asurprise to both parties. The Republicans claimed a ma jority of 25,000 on Governor, and the DemOcrats conceded it. Both parties deemed the Constitutional Amendment on Suffrage doubtful. It is voted down by 50,000 majority, and while the Repub licans elect their Governor by some 3,000, the Democrats- carry the Legislature.— The Canvass was active, indeed brilliant, on both sides, and a large vote was ow.— The Democrats skilfully used the money and tax questions against the Republi cans, and of course played upon what ever of popular prejudice there is againet the proposed Manhood Suffrage. The result will be a land-mark in politics, as it signifies something—which cannot be 'said of the result in Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, probably a thousand Re publicans voted for Judge SHAESWOOD on personal and professional ; grounds, and the whole campaign was sluggishly conducted on the part of the Republicans, and under a heavy adverse pressure from "side-issues." Besides, factional and personal resentments paralyzed the party in-several of our strongest counties. On the naked merits of the two parties, the majority of the people are Republicans still, as they have been for five years. Speaking of the late election, BEN. WADE bravely says: "Her recent narrow escape will only have the effect to secure her against future accidents. The Re publicans of Ohip were never more rad ical, more confident of their strength, nor more resolutely determined to carry out their principles to a final triumph than now ; and if our election could be held over again to-morrow, warned of our danger, we should carry the State by more than 50,000." , Senator SHER3L&N says: "Gen. Hayes and the whole State ticket are elected by 3,000 majority, which we will make 50,000 next fall with ease. We lost the State in 1882 by 6,000 majority, on the Emancipation Procla mation of Abraham Lincoln. The next year we beat Vallandigham by - 104,000 on t*e same issue." ONE of the favorite complaints of the Western Democracy is the Senatorial representation of the New England States, which thEly pronounce unjust, and which they promise to cut down when they can. On the other hand,,Mr. ADAMS, "Dem ocratic" candidate for Governor of Mas sachusetts, commends the doctrine of State Rights, because it has secured and will retain the Senatorial preponderance of New England in Congress ! Verily, "DemoOatic" dishonesty and impudence are equal to any and every deception and pretension. THE rebel' element in the South take great comfort out of the result in Ohio and Pennsylvania; and are resisting Re construction with "might and main."— A few weeks will disclose, with what re sult. Should the effect be an indefinite postponement of restoration and peace, the Republicans will be in no way re sponsible. FOREIGN NEWS Leiter from Europe. LONDON, October 19, noon. —The Times, in a leading article this morning, asserts that the Italian Prime Minister, Bangui, is pledged to enter Rome as soon as the French fleet sails. Perna, Oct. 20, A.

Om. amerrs posrnort. At a Republican meeting in Galena, Illinois, on ther& Ina, Congressman E. B. Wash burps undertook to define Gen. Grant's posi tion in detail. As Mr. Washburn° is an inti mate friend of the General's, considerable in terest is attached to the statements made, which are, in effect, that Gen. Grant's sympa thies ace with Congress in its reconstruction measures, and that he had advised an extra session, and had used his influence with Sena tors to accept the clause In the House bill re quiring the assent of the 'Senate to the remov al of district commanders.
