Darin' Map in Mallen- BALLOT BOX MAMBO ! On Tueiday last the good people of Menailen township were treated to a specimen of Democratic tactics as prac ticed in Philadelphia and New York— breaking into the ballot box and ab stracting votes. The facts, as commu nicated to us, are as follows : At noon , when about 100 votes had been taken in the Election officers adjourned for dinner, taking the precaution to seal up the ballot-box—As a majority of the,officers are Republicans, the box , was put into the custody of Francis W. Orner, the. Democratic Inspector. Mr. Orner took the box with him to Myer's tavern, and instead of retaining it in his personal , possession while eating 'dinner, Imprudently left it In a side room. A stranger, by the name of Fullwood, said to hail from . Phila delphia, recently in she employ of Mr. Collins, contractor on the South Mountain Railroad, got into the room where the ballot-box wail deposited, and abstracted a large number of tick ets. His movements were noticed by several of. Mr. Myers' children, and the alarm given. A constable was called in, and the villain arrested, a number of, Atte stolen ballots being found in his possession. He was brought to Gettysburg and is now in jail. We un derstand that he refuses to explain or give any information as to his pur poses, or by . whom the ouirage was instigated. The case has a bad show. it was generally expected that the vote on some of the county officers would be very close. Medallen is the heaviest Republican box in the county, and the selfictiod of this box for the outrage, indicates a deliberate purpose to defeat the Republican candidates, by de bauching the return from that district. Who is at the bottom, of the matter? . We presume Mr. Orner, although chargeable with culpable negligence, is innocent of the conspiracy ; but other parties may not be. We hope the matter will be probed to the bottom. Later.--The Ballot Box Staffed As the facts develope, the villainous tampering with the Menallen ballot box, assuurbs more outrageous propor tions. It - was evidently not simply an abstraction of ballots, but the substitu tion of Democratic tickets. This is evident from a comparison of 'the votes found in the State and County boxes with those found in the ToWnship box. The latter (which was not tampered "With) sbows that the' highest Demo cratic vote polled was 50, with a, Re publican majority of 178—while some 76 Democratic ballots were found in the State and County boxes I As suming even that Mr. WOLF received no Democratic votes, and giving him only the Republican vote shown by the Townitip box,, his majority in Menallen would be 178. But it is known that he received a number of Democratic votes. If these facts be correct, and Mr. Klunk is willing to accept a commission thus tainted with fraud, a remedy may be found in the Courts. We learn f urther r that when the eiec tion officers adjourned fbr dinner, Mr. REID, the Republican Inspector, pro posed to retain the ballot-boxes, but Mr. ORNE4tisisting upon their custo dy they were handed over to him. Fullwood, we understand, came to Bendersville about 10 o'clock, A. M., put up hie horse at Myers' Hotel, and afterwards appeared at the polls, boist erously and offensively electioneering for Packer and the Democratic ticket. • THE Tennessee Rebels having se cured the control of the Legislature, • through the insane divisions in the Republican rants, are preparidg to make ellbetive use of their power. It is their " evkient purpose to sweep away all the loyal legislation of the State for the last three years. Already bills and resolutionabave been introduced declar ing 'null and void 'airthe protective and humanitarian laws passed by Republi can legialatiOn. The Senatorial ques tiOn has narrowed down to Andrew Johnion,and Emerson Etheridge—both recreant Republicans. The contest ill very bitter, with chances in "favor of Johnson, whose capacity for , bold in trigues and reckless demagoguism will I be more than s match for his rival.— There is a remote possibility that the intense bitterness developed In the mite may result in both being set aside, in favor of a new man. Lsirr Tuesday week Vieb-' President Colfax astonished the Salute of Salt Lake City by making them a speech in which be characterized polygamy as unifies and illegal, and called upon the people to abolish it.

Geary, and Williams Elected. THE FIFTEENTH AMptOMENT SAVED.. TUE SUPREME COURT SAVED. The; Legislature Republican in Both Brancys. ,AYES RE-ELECTED 'DV/ERROR OF OHIO. lOWA REMILICAN' THIROIIGHOIIT We -have the gratiticn of an nounding to our readers another signal triumph df Freedom, Law and Order in Pennsylvania. Gov. GEARY has been re-elected by from 3,000 to 5,000 ma. jority—./ udge WILLIE/Jos takes his seat ou the bench, backed by a still larger majority in both branches of the, Leg islature. There is no estimating the magnitude of this victory. The .Dem ocratid party went into the canvass assured of success. They shrewdly took advantage of dissensions in the Republican ranks on the Gubernato rial question—assailed Gov. Geary's , official record with more than usual' malignity—arrayed against him the Whisky and Lager Beer interest—ap pealed to the worst prejudices of the mob to resist placing the ballot into the hands of the colored man—and finally called in the aid of Packer's wealth to corrupt and debauch the election. With it all they have sig pally failed and the "Pride of the Val. ley" will be permitted to live in quiet at Mauch Chunk, on the Merchant's Hotel, Philadelphia, as he may prefer— minus the money he has foolishly spent. Pennsylvania has, amid all these adverie influencjis, re-affirmed her de votlon tO policy of the Republican party, Including Manhood Suffrage. The consequences of this decision will be far reaching. They will go to the South as the assurance that the course of Republican government cannot be arrested. They will encourage those who are still at issue with their old ad versaries. They will give us Texas 'and Mississippi. They will strengthen the hands of. Grant and Boutwell, and will go"to the Old World as the pledge that our faith to the freedman and the public creditor will be resolutely maintained. In Philadelphia the Registry Law operated finely, securing quiet at the polls, and precluding the enormous frauds which last year carried the city for the Democracy. Alderman McMul lin's Ward—the famous 4th, noted as a den of vice, the home of ballot-stuffing roughs and rowdies—polls 2,000 votes leas than was returned last fall ! The Republicans carry the city and elect their entire City Ticket by majorities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000. York County gives Packer 2800, Cumberland 900, Franklin 300, Fulton 380, Bedford 40Q, Luzerne 2,300, Mon roe 2,500, Berke 6,400, Clearfield 1,400, Northampton 8,450, Fayette 750, Le high 1,805, "Washington 175, Mifflin 30, Centre . .463, Clinton 600. - Somerset givee Geary 1,100, Butler 400, Beaver 700, Lancaster 6,600, Alle gheny 5,500; Warren 600, Union 584, Perry 50, Snyder 450, Mercer 570, Phil adelphia 8800; The State Legislature will probably stand : Senate, Republicans is, Demo crate 15; Howie, Republicans 63, Dem ocrats 37—majority in joint ballot 29. OHIO-PENDLETON DEFEATED The returns from Ohio indicate the defeat of Prismeros, and the election of Gen. HAYES (Republican) as Gov ernor by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority. The Legislature is in doubt, both par ties claiming it. The senate will pro bably be Republican, and the House ,Democraqe. „ . LATER.—The latest despatches give Hayes 10,000 majority, with a Repub. lican majority In both branches of the Legislature. This secures Ohio for the 15th Conatitutional Amendment, and m akes its ratification certain. lOWA 0. IL lowa stands steady in her devotion to Republicanism. The Republicans sweep the State, Govern and and Legis lature, with fro* 20,000 o 30,000 ma jority in the State. - 11,,,r61111111011 DAVI*.

Tri 1852 he was nominated by the Democratic Convention on the forty-ninth ballot as the candidate of that party for the office of President, of the United States. Being enlist.' fluently elected to that office he exert ed his influence in favor of slavery, and his efforts against "free Kansas" were especially determined. In 1856 Mr. Pierce failed to secure a renomination from the Democratic Convention which met in 'Cincinnati, his successful opponent being James Buchanan. On the close of his Presi dential term, Mr. Pierce traveled ex tensively in Europe for the benefit of his health, but returned in 1880. Du ring the Rebellion his entire peraonal and political sympathies were on the side of the South. The knowledge'of this; made him extremely unpopular among the earnest Unionists of New England, and his relations with his old time friends and neighbors were not of the most satisfactory Character. As a man his manners were very attractive, his abilities were above the average; but as President of the United States he was unpopular even with his own par ty, and the title of "Poor Pierce," fix ed upon.by the Herald, clung to him always as the best expression of his political character. 534 875 On the announcement of his death, President Grant ordered the Public Departments to be closed as a tribute to the memory of an Ex• President of the United States.

My Dial Sts:—Strolling through the %wets of Berne, the Capital of the Swiss Confederation, on Saturday evening last, We oloserved ibposter in Fran* of whin& we were able to decipher enough to learn that on Monday and Tads* of tbis week there would be et Geneva a general cole ! bration Of the Union of the City with the Confederation fifty-four years ago. The celebration should have taken place four years since, the period of the semi-centen isl, but owing to the extreme violence of Only spirit then prevailing in Geneva, it was postponed till a more agreeable season. We concluded at once to modify our route and left Berne on Monday morning, reach ing Geneva by the middle of the afternoon. The speeches had just been concluded, and the memorial monument unveiled; but as the speeches were in French the loss was qbite endurable. The monument is a beauty. It consists of two colossal bronze ramie figures, each encircling the other with an aim—the one representing the Confederation, the other the City. The former is fittingly the larger, with the stronger features and the firmer expression. The latter is the more feminine and .deli cate. The expressive motto : "One for all, all for one," tells the theory of the Repub. lic ; and the whole figure is a striking em blem of the National feeling and character. Yesterday, the children of the region— numbering many thousands—formed part of an imposing procession, the closing feature of which was the decoration of the monu ment with flowers, which was done amid the acclamations of the multituje. At night, the whole was illuminated. I have never seen anything to compare with it. Irwas absolutely universal. The City streamed with flags, and was a mass of ev ergreens, arches, and every svcies of deco ration. Not a house, but thus spoke its sympathy with the occasion. The narrow er street were encumbered with the branches and hanging lamps ; the wider flashed with four streams of lights, from the houses on each side and from the rows of evergreens which, lined each side of the thoroughfare. To add to the brilliancy of the scene, the streets were a mass of human beings, for evidently the whole population had turned out to do honor to the occasion. I moved for hors, up and down the streets, core -sten* Jostled by men, women and children talking alike French, German, and Italian, all,though differing in language,manifesting the most intense Swiss feeling. The affair was really gorgeous, gave an interesting view of the character of the people of the Confederation and adds to the interest in and respect for them which Americans have traditionally felt. , There were nearly fifty Awericattas in Geneva, who joined in the procession, and to whom a post of honor was assigned by the committee. We start to morrow to Italy, and it is very probable that I will net be able to command time for another letter. Since writing last, I have visited France, Bavaria, and Switzerland—stopping at Havre, Paris, Strasbourg, Baden-Baden, Basle, Lucerne, Berne, and Geneva. Havre is of no special interest, and the country between it and Paris is not as well cultiva ted as other portions of France. In Paris, I was on the whole disappointed. Coming from London, one naturally compares the two cities, but they are contrasts of each other. London la a growth, and preserves in he buildings, its street nomenclature, its odd courts, Its curious signs, its irregular plan, its narrow alleys, its dingy rook', and r the general maziuess 01 its appearance, the 1 traces of its developtnent, and so distinctly that one eau almost tell when business first seized this tavern-yard and turned it into a Court for offices, or when that once famous lodgiog-house became a nest of brokers.— Hence, to walk through old London is like walking down the long aisles of history, every turn recalling a familiar name, event, or association. It is a magnificent growth; for now, with its three millions of people, its spacious and busy wharfs, Its colossal 'banking and commercial houses, its eaten • I sive manufactories, its enormous capitol, its rushing energy, and its sleepless watchful nese over the sources of its life and pro gress, it impresses one with an over power ing sense of the resources within its reach, and of the influence it is capable of exert-. log. Willi all this, the residences of it/ willthy classes ire palatial, the public brnfdings are massive and generally well adapted, and the facilities afforded its peo ple for recreation and enjoyment are varied and abundant. Paris did not give me any thing like a similar impression, and I •toUnd myself cpustantly enquiring when I there, what supports it. It has no com merce, for the Seine is practically not nav igable for craft of any _importance. The amount of its ready capital may be inferred from the fact that more stocks and bonds change hands in one day at the New York. Stock Board than at the Paris Bourse in a week. The city itself has one million less popilation than London. The old city is in process of rapid destruction--a work net demanded by the natural growth of busi ness, bit forced upon the municipality of Paris by the political necessities of the Em peror, who dare not allow the' workmen:of Paris to be unemployed, and for whom there is not often employment. Hence, the present Paris is a creation.— The old city is giving way to a new, which wipes out the ancient land-marks, removes historical buildings, and is built upon a different plan from the old;.and though of wide streets, is constructed with painful uniformity of a light sandstone which; in itself handsome, denies the relief at comes from architectural , variety. These' improvements are forc e d upon the people by the city, which condemns property, and inniti and sells under regulations established by the Emperor, and has largely increased its debts and taxes. But then,. Paris is thereby greatly modernised in appearahee, and, more than all,•Paris mobs are placed within easy reach and control of the au thorities. I cannot believe this growth to be healthy; and It is the general 'opinion that a re-action anal come after all this ex travritance. Bat, as a whole, Prance is Illkproviog—French commerce is extending --Watch enterprise is active—end, atpres eat, its schemes gravitate towards the United States, as witness-the new French cable, line bf steamer!, and the,llke. - Padden. hie strikes titellmerver awbeing what iifite "freest and in the world. Erefy'bi*—mart and woman— does substantially as he or she pleases. And hence it lies become the plessure-hdosetof the world—the seat of gayety, and fasidon, and vice. No where is home-life so little cultivated, home virtues apparently. so little prized, or street-life so attractive. No. where is vice more public, more . 'count , emerald, or more sak—for the paternal government of the Emperor, as of a kw . other European rulers, has undertaken so far to control the "social evil" as to protect those,wtio seek its guilty pleasures from the firiOna risks they elsewhere run. The public institutions of Paris are su perb. The Imperial Library is the largeit in the world. The collections- of paintings and sculpture have scarcely a rival. Their great pack is a marvel of heanti, :and of , vest extent — and' has on its exterior line the race• course to which all Parli reknit' on Sunday afternoons.

His n ame aoubtless first gave popularity to hla nephew, and will preserve .the dynasty if it be preserved—so mighty is he in death, notwithstanding overthrow, and im prisonment, and exile. I mined seeing the Emperor, upon his first-drive into Paris after his recovery.— The statements of the nature and character of his illness were exaggerated, but there is great anxiety in France concerning the fu ture. It is a problem, how far the conces- slons recently made will satisfy the people, in whose hands rest the tremendous power of Universal Suffrage, which, first ostenta tiously granted as a boon, is now feared as a dangerous right. There appears to be no doubt of the rapid spread of republican principles in France, or of the anxiety which the Emperor feels in consequence.— His own health is delicate, and he is over 60 years of age. His son is but 14. The Em press is the prospective Regent. When it is remembered that France is full of parti zans of other dynasties, that a woman's government is repulsive to the traditions of the French people, and that she is said to be a re-actionist in her political opinions, the Emperor may be pardoned for f.:eling anxious about the future. This result is but the natural effect of the suppression of our rebellion. Its success would have reversed the threes of society, and carried the nations back ward with a tearful momentum. Its failure ha., se I led the fate of all aristocratic system; every where. Napoleon is probably first feeling the premonitory symptoms of the upheav al. If so, he can justly regard himself as n no wise responsible, for be did all he safely could to render the Rebellion a suc cess. He was, all the while, our most adroit and dangerous enemy. He did ev erything but openly and publicly aid the enemy, and that he was prevented from doing by considerations of safety which he could dot control. He organized his un popular Mexican expedition, avowedly for the collection of claims due to French speculations, but really to extend the area for the spread of the Ideas and policy of the "Latin races," and estab lish a breakwater against the spread of re publicanism over the whole of the North American Continent. His expedition end ed disastrously—bit its bloody and tragic close was not without abundant monarchi cal precedents, and turned a march of sup. posed triumph into a public humiliation ' and the saddest private grief. Napoleon did more. He proposed to England recog nition of the Southern Confederacy at a time when recognition meant Intervention— s proposal which England rejected. Amer ica, saved from division, is now recognized by alI classes in Eprope a/ in enormous power to be respected, and hai before it the most brilliant national career--if it will but protect its rights, perform its duties, pre serve its principles, and guard its honor. In passing to Strabbourgove rode through the celebrated wine producing region- of France, and saw on every tilde the evi• deuces of prosperity and growth. The crop this year is enormous, and the pro spective harvest large. Strasbourg is one of the oldest of towns— ' has many of the most curious buildings, 'with high peaked roofs, some having four, and even eve, ranges of rooms in the roofs, besides tour or five stories of regular height. Its streets are narrow, and its smells not sweet. It is however famous for two great achievements of art ; the cathe dral and clock, and the elegant tomb of General Saxe, one of the most eleborate pieces of sculpture I have yet seen. The cathedral is the highest structure in the world, its spire being 474 feet, (24 higher than the largest Pyramid), besides being airy and graceful to a high degree. The clock is a wonder of mechanism which must be seen to be appreciated. Baden-Damien is a sink of iniquity. 'The races of the previous week had attracted to it most of the fast people of Europe, and the peculiar pursuits of the place were in active exercise. The water is conducted by pipes to a large drinking hall, where it is served early in the day by a maid who told me it was good for the throat, the hangs and the stomach. It is quite warm, and rather salty, so I partook sparingly. The great feature of the place is the public gambling which is carried on under license from the Grand Duke. ,It is conducted in four large and handsonteli firrnished rooms In a building known as the Conversation house. Two of the tables are devoted to roulette, two to rouge and noir. Each was crowd ed with players, who ranged from the ages of 20 to 75, and embraerd all classes and both sexes. Elegantly dressed,daintly gloved ladies, young girls, and decrepid age, com bined with fretful old men, self-possessed gamblers, and venturesome youth, to make the saddest picture I ever looked upon.

Packer, the standard bearer and ex pense payer nv the Pennsylvania Dimocra cy, so long ez I stuck strickly to politics. I went to his headquarters each day for a week, each time personatin the chairman nv a diffrent Dimocratic club, and I so re sembled in appearance and style them with wuz actin) , in them posishens that I got money without difficulty to "be yoosed to carry my ward." Onct I got a hundred dollars to bring down ten repeaters from Noo York, and on other occasions other sums. I personatid Execootive Committee men from Pittsburg, Scranton, Lock Haven, Redin, Easton, Allentown, and sick, with distisguished success. Last week. feeling that them characters wuz too easily asscxmi ed, I essayed suthin more brilliant. Walk- in boldly into Pucker's Committee room I announced myself cz a solissitor for a mis'aun church in Philadelfy. Never shel I forgit the freezin look that was given me. "A mishen what ?" ejackilatid A, Pack er's hed man, given checks to two gentle men of Irish descent from Philadelphy. I explained that it wuz for a struggling church I wuz solissitin funds. "Sir," sed he flrercely, "sir! we don't 'spect no assistance from Bich, and hey. no money for sich. Show him the door, Ter rence, and see that he don't trouble us no more." And Terrence really helped me down the steps with so much alacrity that I actilly broosed myself. It served ruesite, though; I mite hey knowed better. I am, ez the date uv this epistle shows, in Mississippi,.where I shel coutribbit my mile to the eleckabun uv Judge Dent to the Chief Magistry uv this glorious State. I wuz present last nits at the first media uv the campane, where all the candidates uv the Conservative Yoonun party, ez the Demo cracy call theirselves in this secksben, ad dressed the masses.

I took pleasore In telling him all I knew on these points, on which I know that gag_ lishmen are exercised. I observe that an agent has recently been sent by an organi zation bere, specially, to examine into the notiditlito of our laboring classes, and re port upon it. Let them come and tell the truth. Investigation must disclose the fact, that no laborer is so well paid, so well fed, so comfortably housed, Las such facilities for the education a his children, and so many avenues open Ibr his improvement, as the American laborer. This it is, which is so rapidly spreading the reeds of discon tent throughout that large class in all parts of Europe ; and out of which gr,ore results must untimately he involved.

E. Mt,P TII A NKSGI VING PROCLA NATION RV THE. PRESIDENT. By the Prexedent of the United .S'lctt‘ er of Arnrrica : A PROCLAMATION. The year which is drawing to a close has [ten bee from pestilence ; health has pre vailed throughout the land ; abundant crops rew“rd the labors of the husbandman ; com merce and manufactures Lave successfully prosecuted their peaceful paths ; the mines and forests Lave yielded liberally; the na tion Las increased in wealth and in strength; peace has prevailed and its blessings have advanced every interest of the people in every part of the Union ; harmony and fraternal intercourse restored are oblite ra ting the marks of past conflict and estran Be ment ; burdens have been lightened ; me ans have been increased ; civil and relig! ous liberty are secured to every inhabitan t of the land, whose sill is trod by none but freeman. It becomes a people thus fat ored to make acknowledgments to the Sur reme Author from whom such blessings dew, of their gratitude and their dependence ; to render prayer and thanksgiving for the same, and devoutly to implore a continu ance of God's mercies. Therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, Pres ident - of the United States, do recommend that Thursday, the 18th day of November next, be observed as a day of praise aftd of pray er to Almighty God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe. And Ido further recom mend to all the people of the United States to assemble on that day in their accustomed places of public worship, and to unite in the homage and praise due to the bountiful Father of all mercies, and in fervent prayer for the continuance of the manilbld bless ings He has vouchsafed to ns as a people. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed, this sth day of October, A. D. 1869, and of the Independ ence of the United States the ninety-fourth- U. S. Gstestr. By the President, liamilton.Fish, Secretary of State. NAPODEON'S DISEASE. —A Paris corres pondent of the New York Tribune says : After a serious examination of the diverse manifestations of the Emperor's disease, men of science have rejected the idea of any riteumatie affection, and have agreed that the malady is a distension of the pros trate gland and a varicose swelling or fun - gus of the bladder. This disorder only shows itself at intervals, increases with age, and is aggravated by moral and atmospheric causes. The consequences of the disease are very grave, : all diseases of the genito urinary organs—the stone perhaps except ed—attack the brain ; that is to say, they affect the moral and intellectual faculties. Thetemper of the patient becomes sombre, suspiciouapeevlsh, pusillanimous ; men and things appear under a sinister aspect; the will becomes weak, and is subject to the most contradictory changes; a project fonn ed is immediately abandoned for another not any more durable ; a decision is hardly ever finally and frankly made ; there are always mental'-reservations, cunning re places boldneaa, a feverish irritation takes the place of calmness, and real proportions of objects and events are exaggerated, and one is always ready to employ aping a reed the force necessary to uproot an oak. When a man has been afflicted eight years by a fungus of the bladder, whose progress his physicians have been unable to arrest, his days are numbered. After eight years of treatment the disease, aggravated by age, is nothing more than a series of relapses, each one more serious than the last, and of Intermissions of convalescence, each one less and lees reassuring. His hour will come, not .perbaps to-morrow, but in a day not far distant. SPECIE CIIREINCY. —A distinguished Con federate leader, who had passed some time in Mexico after the collapse of the "cause perdue," found his way hither right gladly, and put up at the St Charles. The morn ing after his arrival he rang for John and sent him for a cock-tail, giving him a Max imilian dollar. John had been victimized before by designing strange s, and was carefully on his guard. Giving a glance at • the shining piece of silver, he gave his • head a shrewd shake, and laid the metal! upon the table, remarking, with considera— ble dignity : "They don't take medals/W.' drinks at this yer bar !"—.Efarper'r Magazine.
