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

their " evkient purpose to sweep away

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.

Cumberland 900, Franklin 300, Fulton

The State Legislature will probably
stand : Senate, Republicans is, Demo
crate 15; Howie, Republicans 63, Dem

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.

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

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 ,

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

in the world. The collections- of paintings
and sculpture have scarcely a rival. Their

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. I ,

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. The awjence wuz uv
all colors. 0 ! ez I saw them niggers
standin them all together, how I longed to
her em in Kentucky, Ohio or Indiany ;
they were in Mississippi, and they hey
votes, and oonsekently I wnz compelled to
stand by and treat ern ez tho they wuz
men. Faugh !
Judge Dent made a most tellin speech to
em. After remarkin that be was a brother
in-law uv President Grant (at which the
niggers cheered, and the Judge thankt em
with ef. much grace ez poor Johnson yoost
to under similar circumstances,) he went
on to ask why his colored friends coodent
hev confidence into him. He cood put his
hand onto his heart and swear he loved em.
He wrtznt a colored man himself, but be
bad lived amongst em all his life, and had
bin missed at the breast of a colored wo
man. Love em! He did love em. There
wuz suthin noble about em—suthin ay that
nacher which gave him confidence in hum
anity. The Judge devoted the balance uv
the time he had to the most scorchin,
witherin, blastin rebook uv carpit baggers
and carpit baggery I ever beard. When
he spoke with contempt uv the Northern
men with come South for the purpose nv
being,nominated Ibr offices, and nv makin
speeches in their own behalf, his blood
curdled7:With indignaahen.
Ez heconclooded I hollored "Ror !"
The candidate for Treasurer followed. It
hed ° bin reported ay him that he wuz at an
tagonism
with the colored people of the
South. Wat falsehood ! Troo, he hadn't
colored blood in his veins, bat—
" Three sons uv yours hey !" yelled a dis
gustin carpet bagger, with much discon
certed him, as the crowd uv niggers all
yelled "Ron!"
The candidate for Auditor nv State as
serted that he loved the colored man, and
believed that he wuz destined to work out
its final salvation. He was worthy ttv their
confidence, for he was proud to say he led
colored blood in his veins, and alluz bed.
He coed take the Ethopin uv Afrikin decent
to his buzzum andsay "brother 1", -
The Other cluidldatee a ekallyrenlpha
tic ez to their affection for Ethiopian.
One asserted that his brother was a mutat
ter, and the other remainin vowed that
should they be left disconsolit widowers
four hundred times each, they wood every
time marry colored ladles.
The chairman interdoost the candidate
for Sekretary uv State. Good heavens !he
was a nigger --a Nil-blooded, odorous nig- '
ger I a thick-lipped, wooly-headed, bow
legged nigger! Then d iT tp r a, shook hands
with all the other canoe , ' and made a
few remarks, alter which I wuz interdoost
to the awjeece. Ez all em hed expressed

The dtker day; I met at Lucerne an aged
English gentleman who, assuming from
s chili that I was an American, asked
me particularly ~ about our country, and
among other points its laborers—their wages,
their expenses, their comforts of life, &c.
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

of Europe ; and out of which gr,ore results

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.

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
