THE RESULT IN HUNTINGDON
COUNTY.
it is with considerable pride that we
point to the official election returns, print
ed elsewhere in this paper, of Huntingdon
county. They show the fact that when
the Rupnblicans of Huntingdon county
are united, they can roll up a sufficient
majority to crush their adversaries out of
sight. We labored hard to secure a uni
form majority, but with all our efforts, a
number of candidates have boon severely
ent, and yet the men who did the cutting,
will rejoice with us that the whole ticket
is elected, which only goes to show that it
is better to vote the whole ticket. If tick
ets are to be cut to pieces, by their parti
sans, it were better to have no organiza
tion at all and leave every voter vote for
whom he pleases, but a party eau "only be
maintained by supporting regular nomi
nees, and if there are obnoxious candidates
let them be beaten at the primary elections;
this is the only way to keep up an organ
ization, and we want our Republican
friends to bear this in mind.
The following is the result between the
respective candidates, viz :
AUDITOR GENERAL
David Stanton, R.,
William McCandless, D.,
Majority for Stanton,
Barr Spangler, T.,
SURVEYOR GENERAL.
Robert B. Beath, R.,

Majority for Smith,
CORONER.
James Bricker, R.,
David P. Miller, D.,
Majority for Bricker,
The highest number of votes cast for
any one office was for Surveyor General
which aggregated 5,668. The majority
for Auditor General, as will b 3 seen, is
751 to which should b 3 added 68 votes of
the Temperance ticket, as at least 100 of
the 132 votes for that ticket were Repub
lican, which would give the Republicans a
clear majority of 819 at this election. This
is glory enough for one day. Nest Fall
we will make it from 1,000 to 1,200. :Nark
the prediction !
We cannot close this article without re
ferring, in terms of the highest praise, to
the Chairman of the Republican County
Committee, K. Allen Lovell, Esq., for the
splendid manner is which he conducted
the campaign. While we do not desire to
disparage others who labored efficiently and
with success, but Mr. Lovell had all the
responsibility of the success or failure of
the campaign upon his shoulders, and the
result tells how well he did his work.—
"Well done, good and faithful servant"
THE TARIFF and the IRON TRADE.
The contest in the next session of Con
great, upon the Tariff question, will be one
of no ordinary nature. It is about the only
issae upon which the Democracy venture
to base a hope of success in the Presiden
tial campaign of 1872. The Committee of
Ways and Means will 'meet in a few days
to revise the different Tariffs now in force.
They will probably add souse articles, not
produced in the United States, to the free
Hut, and reduce the duty on certain pro
ducts, and on raw materials used in manu
facturing. The different Tariffs, with these
changes introduced, will then be consolida
ted. The reduction of aggregate receipts
will not exceed twinty to thirty million
dollars annually. The protective features
of the tariff will not he changed , so far as
important industries are concerned.
But when the Tariff, thus modified and
consolidated, comes before Congress it will
be contested, section by section, and oppo
sed in every conceivable wanner by the
Democratie members, aided by the Free
Trade League, British influence, and every
outside pressure that can be brought to
bear against the Tariff, is order to destroy
its protective features.
Should they succeed in this effort, what
will be the effect upon American industry ?
Take for illustration the article of iron
Under the Tariff, as it now stands, Eng
land is sending us immense quantities of
rail and pig iron. According to a return
made to the British Parliament England
sent to the United States, during the first
five months in 1869, rail and pig iron to
Os amount of 158,631 tons, of 2,000
pounds each; in the same period in 1870
we received 169,098 tons; and during the
same period in 1871 tl, quantity was in
creased to 223,849 tons. England's total
shipment for the first five Months of 1871
was 417,915 tons, more than one-half of
which came to the Unileil Sattcs. These
are significant facts. And yet, while our
own country abounds in iron ore and coal,
and is receiving from England more rail
and pig iron than England sends to all
other parts of the world, the Democratic
opposition demands that there shall be no
Tariff for protection, sod the duty on iron
must be reduced. The Democratic party
and the Free Trade League are throwing
their energies together to break down the
Tariff, and the London Morning Journal
says : "If the League succeeds we shall
" have a very large trade with the United
" States." The League is supported by
British capital, and their publications are
distributed gratuitously all over the United
States.
EDITOR,
Is England to become again our work
shop ? Pig iron sold in this country at
$2l in 1850 ; but when England had bro
ken down and ruined our competition, in
our own markets, under a low tariff, and
closed our mills by selling at cost, pig iron
advanced to $37 in 1854. Shall we re
duce our tariff, abandon protection, and
prepare for a similar experience ?
These questions demand careful consid
eration by the people of the United States.

European Correspondence
NEW YORE, Sept. 15th, 1871
DEAR JOStSSNAL :—After a long, weary and
sickening passage, we reached this port, in
the land of our nativity, this evening. We left
Londonderry, Ireland, on the morning of the
3d inst., for Moville, 18 miles down the bay of
Loch Foyle, on a small steamer, to get on
board of the .Anglia, of the Anchor Line, on
her way from Glasgow to New York. We had
on board from Derry over one hundred steer
age and fifteen cabin passengers. It took the
officers and hands some two hours to transfer
the passengers and luggage to the Anglia, there
being some three hundred trunks, chests and
boxes. Some of those Irish chests were an
large as an ordinary size wagon-bed, and
brought down the anathemas of the sailors on
their poor Irish heads. I learned from thepur
ser of the Anglia, after we came on board, that
nr. heard t 16 eabin nassenmers
78 intermediate, 410 after eabierancl a crew ot
80, making in all near 700 souls. tier cargo
consisted of railroad iron, Scotch whiskey and
a general assortment of merchandise. We left
Moville about noon of the same day, and be
fore we were fairly on the Irish coast a west
ern gale sprang up, and increased with great
rapidity, and in less than three hours nine.
teen-twentieths of the passengers were pros
trated with sea sickness. The deck of the
steamer presented the appearance of a battle
field; some appearing as though they were
dead, others gasping for breath, and others
falling prostrate; such a spectacle was heart
rending to see. The gale continued, with very
little variation, for seven days; the wind con
tinually from the west, raising more or less
every day. I don't know what the captain
would call the storm, but in our counfry it
would pass very well for the equinoctial. Your
correspondent was confined to his berth for
five lingering days and nights, during which
time not a bite would lay on his stomach; so
you will observe that there is a period in this
passage where days and dates are left out, and
under these circumstances you cannot expect
a very long or interesting letter, Tha gale, at
times, *as terrific. The hatches on deck had
to be shut down; the waves dashing over the
deck in quantities large enough to drown au
ox. On Tuesday the physician of the vessel,
who called in to see me, told me one man had
died, from heart disease, but I believe it was
more from fright and sea sickness. They sewed
the poor fellow up in a canvas bag and that
night dropped him into the sea. Three young
Irish bloods, wilA had been spreeing with their
friends before leaving their native land, took
delirium tremens, and were put down ip chains
for three days, one of them the physician had
given up at one time, but the three finally re
covered. A terrible warning to all young men
to shun the intoxicating bowl. On the third
day of the gale Dr. Bell told me that the cap
tain had remarked to him that he "was afraid
there was some preacher on board who had
left without paying his bill, and that unless
the storm soon abated he should have them
cast lots." The captain says it is the longest
trip the vessel ever made, some days only ma
king from 130 to 150 knots per day in place of
275 to 300. But throggh all the trials, sick
ness and hardships, 1 remembered that "Rome
was not built in a day."

Sabbath, September 10th. This morning
the stprm abated some, and the sun broke out
in all its splendor. Arrangements were made
by the captain andclergymen for religious ser
vices, and at 10 o'clock, a. st., services were
held in the cabin saloon by the Rev. Dr. Wall
of Richmond, Va., assisted by Dr. Bell of Hol
lidaysburg, Pa. In the evening, in same place,
by Rev. Dr. Bell, assisted by the Rev. John
Erskine of Orange county, N. Y. There were reli
gious services held also, morning and evening,
in the fore cabin, for the benefit of the deck pas
sengers, by the Rev. Mr. Gaily, Presbyterian,
Of Chicago, lu the morning, and by Rev. Mr.
Evans, Baptist, of your county, in the evening.
Monday; September 11th. This morning,
for the first, the sea was palm, and the day
clear and pleasant, which made considerable
change on the countenances of the passengers,
although a goodly number were still sick ; es
pecially among the females. In the afternoon
we came in sight of the Banks of Newfound
land, when every one who was able to crawl,
came on deck, to catch a glimpse of terra firma.
At 8 o'clock in the evening we passed in view
of the light-house on she point pf Cape Race.
The night was dark, and when the light was
first seen we were some fifteen miles distant.
The sight was beautiful. The light would oc
casionally flare up large and bright, reflecting
many shades of color, and then entirely disap
pear for a minute. This arrangement of the
light is so conducted and operated so as to
dif f er from all other lights that mariners may
not be misled. _ . _
— Tuesday, September 12th. During the night
the wind sprang up from the north, and for
the first time our noble steamer was rigged
with a full sail. The wind became strong and
the waves ran high, but she rode them most
gallantly. During this day some of the gen
tlemen from Glasgow, with some two or three
musicians and lady singers from Germany, as
sisted by the first and second officers, made
preparation for a grand concert in the evening
to aid the National Life Boat Institution, and
accordingly in the evening the saloon was ar
ranged and the concert came or. The singing
was delightful and the playing on the piano
and violin was grand. The recitations by the
first offiaor were excellent ; his subjects were the
anxiety of the pigspugors to greettheir friends
on their arrival in their native jand, and the
landing of the emigrants at Castle Garden, pi ;
Y. The whole oc.,.mied two hours.
_ _ .
Wednesday, September 13th. The day was
clear and calm and the weather delightful.—
quite an excitement occurred this day on the
deck of the eteao,leF b 1 the capture of two
medium-sized hawks", Ist , One of the sailors, on
the top of one of titi marts. It is thought
they took Passage while passing over the banks
of Newfoundland. They were both pat in a
cage. This evening some of the steerage pas
sengers gave a concert in the after cabin, for
the purpose of giving life and` animation to
those poor emigrants who have been suffering
intensely through this protracted and trying
trip. The concert exceeded the one given the
evening before, for wit and humor ; while this
concert wao going on, other lads and lasses
from the Emerald Isle had a fandango on the
fore-deck of the steamer, and enjoyed them
selves apparently as much as if they were at
tending a wedding in their native land.
Thursday, September 14th. This morning
we were again favored with a fine cool breeze
from the north which brought all the sail into
requisition, making through the day an-aver
age of twelve knots an hour. All the passen
gers have now left off counting the days, and
are making calculations about reaching New
York by the hour. This afternoon we passed
a light-house ship, anchored in the sea, 100
miles from New York. This vessel is stationed
there to give signals to prevent vessels running
on a reef of rocks which are prominent in that
neighborhood. This evening we were favored
with a third concert by some of the emigrants
in the intermediate department. The sailors
were busy all afternoon drawing up the trunks,
cheats and boxes from the hull of the steamer,
ready for the Custom House officers on our
landing on to-morrow. This stir of baggage,
and our near approach to land, makes all fa
ces brighten up and assume a pleasing aspect.
Friday, September 15th. This morning,
when near Sandy Hook, the pilot came on
board and brought some New York papers,
giving an account of several vessels wrecked
and all the steamers of the different lines sev
eral days behind time. We were detained but
a short time at Quarantine, and reached New
York at 11 o'clock, A. M. And now that I have
reached my native land, I can truly say:
"I admire the sea, as I said before,
But I love it most when seen from shore;
And now, my friends. I soon will meet
And you with them I soon will greet."
Yours truly, W. B. L.
ASSASSINATION! !
THE WORK OF DEMOCRACY!!
In Philadelphia, on election day, Prof.
Catto, a highly distinguished colored citi
zen, was brutally murdered, on his own
door-step, by a gang of Democratic roughs.
The Philadelphia Press of the 10th inst.,
gives the following particulars of the un
provoked murder:
Shortly after three o'clock Mr. Octa
vius V. Catto, having closed his school,
the institute for colored youth at No. 921
Shippen street, was passing down South
street, between Rghth and Ninth streets,
when he was approached by a white man,
and, it is alleged, was openly insulted on
the highway. Prof. Catto put his hand
behind him as if to draw a pistol, when a
car came up and he passed down the street
a few paces. Here he was accosted again
by the man alluded to, who seemed to
know him. He then leveled a pistol at
Catto's head when a female called and
said : "Come in here Profc..sor, or you will
be shot,"
2597 576
Catto again advanced and attempted to
cross the street, when the assassin leveled
his pistol again and shot at him three
times. One ball took effect in Catto's left
b- east, p.-ing to vagh the heart and
another struck him in the left shoulder.
The first shot caused his death almost in
stantly. He was soon picked up and car
ried into the Fifth district station house,
and Dr. Wm. H. Myers was summoned to
make an examination. As soon as the
surgeon saw him he pronounced Catto
flitally hurt. He died soon after reaching
the station house and never spike after lie
was shot.
The surgeon probed the wound, and
found that a ball had entered Catto's left
breast, near the nipple, and had gone
through the heart, lodging somewhere near
the spine... . . _
It is believed that three shuts were fired
at Catto by a man who is not known, but
cloooriben as being tall-awlelerier,—ivear.
ing light clothe; with a heavy moustache.
He had his bead tied up, as it he bad been
cut or bruised.

Places—Some Account of These Terri-

The appalling disaster which has overta
ken Chicago recalls like fearful calamities to
other cities. Of the great fires of history,
those in London in 962 and 1087, in
which great portions of the city, including
St Paul's cathedral, were burned, are still
read of with great interest; though the
records are but meagre. In A. D. 1212
another great fire devastated the city, be
ginning on the southward and communica
ting to the other ; and hemmed in a large
crowd of people who were standing on the
bridge. Over 3,000 of the unfortunate
creatures, in attempting to escape the de
vouring element by jumping into boats
and barges, were drowned. By the fire
in London, September 26th, A. D. 1666,
known as the great fire. 400 streets were
laid waste, 13 ; 200 houses were burned,
eighty-nine churches, which number inclu
ded old St. Paul's, a second time destroyed,
the city gates, custom-house Royal Ex
change, Lion College, and Guild Hall.
This terrible fire thus covered with reins
436 acres, and forced 200,000 to encamp
in the open air in Islington and High
gate fields. London has had many large
firessince, but none whose devastations
have extended beyond certain districts,
small in area, except in July 21st, 1794
when 600 houses and an East India ware
house filled with saltpetre were burned,
£1,000,000 being lost by the conflagration.
The stories of the great fires in New
York city in the last century are interest
ing. Those who saw these great conflagra
tions arc now slumbering in the grave,
but many of their children live to repeat
the ott told story of their childhood.
These fires occurred when New York was
occupied by the British troops, the first
one breaking out on August 26th, 1776,
when 493 houses, all on the west side of
Broadway, from Whitehall to Barclay
streets, were made food for the flames.
On August 7th, 1778, 300 buildings were
destroyed in another conflagration, the
buildings being principally located around
what was then known as Conger's wharf,
on the East river. At both of these fires
great dificulty was experienced in obtaining
a sufficient supply of water to be of any
service. As in Chicago, gunpowder was
used to blow up the buildings.
On the 16th of December, 1835, New
York was swept by the devouring element,
and 648 of the most valuable stores, the
Merchants' Exchange, the South Dutch
church and property valued at more than
$18,000,000, was lost in the flames. This
conflagration took place in the Ist ward,
east of Broadway, and below Wall Street.
o,n July 19th 1845, another great fire
occured in the city, between Broadway,
Exchange-place, Broad and Stone streets,
and $5,000,000 were lost.
One of the largest fires in the United
States, of late years, was that in Portland,
Me. on July 4, 1866. Sixteen hundred
buildings were burned, with a loss of
$9,000,000, upon which there was an
insurance 0f53,500,00 P.
_
The great fire in Constantinople on the sth
of June, 1870, excited a sensation even at
this remote distance. Over 7,000 build
ings were burned in this great conffagra
tioa, and .1,000 men, women and chil
dren lost their lives. About 25,000,000
was the estimated loss.
The Great Conflagrations.
A Fire Line Three Hundred Miles L9n9
and One Hundred Miles Wide.
The fires which fur a week or more past
have been sweeping Minnesota and North
ern Wisconsin, cover sections of country
truly ono:miaow. Tluakt, Min (WWI.-
latest dates seems to have started in Dakota
territory, although there is no evidence as
to the precise locality. The south end of
the conflagration is crossing Northern lowa,
while the northern end reaches far up to
ward the bead of Lake Superior, and is
sweeping down the valley of the St. Peter's
river, and the forests cast of the Mississippi
above St. Cloud. It seems probable that
this fire is advancing on a line nearly three
hundred miles long, and that it has passed
over a territory scarcely less on an average
than one hundred miles in width, although
the outlines are irregular. That in Wis
consin is even more terrible, reaching from
near New London through all the country
east and north as high up as Menominee
river, and how much further is not del
nitely known. It is aLso following down
the Lower Fox river from Oshkosh
towards Green bay, and a large force of
the Chicago and nothwestern railroad men
have been engaged for several days in pro
tecting the ties and bridges from distrac
tion. Buildings have already been des
troyed near Fort Howard, opposite the city
of Green Bay. On the east side of Fox
river it has been equally disastrous, cover
ing nearly the whole country west of Mani
towoc, and far up the peninsula northward,
embracing millions of acres of the finest tim
bered land in the west. Thus far no fires are
reported in the Wolf river pineries west
of the river, or on the Chippewa and St.
Croix, but as long as the drought prevails
they cannot be considered safe. The ea
tastrophy is so terrible, involving so many
enterprises and people, as to amount to a
national calamity, and it has even been
proposed to call the legislature of Wiscon
sin together to devise measures for the
relief of the sufferers. Million.; in value
have been destroyed, and still the fire fiend
pursues its way, human agencies being
utterly powerless to arrest it. The disaster
is the most wide-spreading and terible that
has ever visited the state, and will fall
with crushing weight on more than 100,-
000 of the most industrious and deserv
ing of the' population, Large fires are re
ported in MiAigan, bqt the extent of the
devastation is not yet known. It is proba
bly small in comparison with that west of
the lakes.—Chicago Times.
Proclamation by the Governor.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
HARRISBURG, OCt. 11, 1871.
.
Fellow Citizens of renmylpania e A
calamity without parallel in the history of
our country has befallen theprosperous
and beautiful city of Chicago. More than
half of that great city, whose matchless
enterprise and growth had made it at once
the metropolis of our own Northwest and
the wonder of the civilized world, now lies
in ashes. On the verge of winter, one
hundred thousand of her people find them
selves homeless and destitnte of food and
clothing, While the hearts of the Ameri
can people are profoundly moved in con
templating, the situation of the sufferers,
and means of relief are being prz,vided in
every section of the country, I am confi
dent that you will . not permit yourselves
to be excelled upon an occasion which so
imperatively calls for the exercise of fra
ternal sympathy and Christian generosity.
The residents of the unfortunate city,
whose property hue escaped destruction,
will no doubt promptly hasten to the res
nue, and exert themselves with even more
than their characteristic liberality and
munificence. But their utmost endeavors
will be totally inadequate to the demands
of the dreadful exigency. You—the peo
ple of Pennsylvania—were never more
prosperous in business, nor blest with
greater abundance than at the present mo
ment, hetlonr (Ivo merciful exemption
from suffering, therefore, and the rich
blessings with which a bountiful Provi
dence has endowed you, plead with you
erectunily in behalf of your nest unror
tunato 6:iuntryinen.
The Pennsylvania rai:rold company
kindly offers the facilities of their road,
free of &forge, for the transportation of all
such supplies as are needed for the relief
of the sufferers; and, acting in the same
spirit, I anticipat:: with grateful pleasure.
and appropriate response from every city
and town and home in this ftvored Com
monwealth. JNO. W. GEARY,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
A Royal Palace in New York,
Great Preparations for the Reception of
the Grand Dukc 41exis—Splendid Par
lors. Luxurious alambers, and Mau
nifie,nl Ornaments—Pity a Poor Prince.
The Russian Minister, M. Catcazy, and
the Consul, M. Bodisce, have engaged a
suite of thirty-five rooms at the Clarendon
Hotel on Fourth avenue, corner of Eigh
teenth street. Mechanics are putting on
the finishing touches of the art, and have
converted the place into a most charming
palace. The first noticeable point is the
royal Russian escutcheon frescoed upon
the door pannels. Within all is new, gor
geous and elegant, but in no respect gau
dy. Splendid new marble mantles, with
grates and fenderi of heavy silver plating
and gilt, have been put in.
Extensive bronzes, clocks, statuary, and
other ornaments of a rich and rare descrip
tion are upon the mantles, and beautiful
landscapes are framed against the walls.
The floor is covered with a velvet carpet
of brilliant colors. Damask and lace cur
tains shade the windows, gilt and bronze
chandeliers with porcelain reflectors hang
from the ceilings, and side brackets with
prism gas jets arc upon the walls. Great
mirrors extend from floor to cornice. Etru
scan vases of alabaster, four feet high, are
placed in each corner, and a miniature
cologne fountain of fine marble is placed at
the center of the rear windows. Over it,
and the most prominent object that attracts
the attention, is a large and life-like por
trait of the Czar. The walls and ceiling
are frescoed with rare skill and exquisite
taste.
Over the arches, draped in graceful
folds, are the Russian and American na
tional colors, glistening in silk and gold and
silver bullion fringe. This the grand regal
dining saloon. The furniture is. of black
walnut, inlaid with gilt. The table ex
tends from the front to the rear of the
rooms. The chairs are elegantly uphol
stered, as arc also the divans and lounges,
Two splendid buffets and tables with mar
ble slabs are also placed in the room. The
cutlery is entirely new and the silver is
from the St. Petersburg palace. Although
the regular hotel cooks will prepare the
meals and special hotel servants attend the
table,. a Russian cook is attached to the
party and he will prepare such homemade
dishes as may be required.
The halls and stairways are covered
with a bright green carpet with deep
orange foliated borders. The walla are
tinted blue and crimsom in gilt panels.
The gas pendant is of gold and bronze
with colored porcelain globes. There are
four rooms on the second floor. The front
hall room has been over-arched and thrown
open to the larger one, thus forming a neat
dressing room.
This is the royal bed-chamber. Ax
minster carpet of white, purple and pink
covers the floor. The furniture is all
solid rosewood. A double bedstead, with
a lofty headboard profusely carved, stands
at one side of the door. A canopy made
of the Russian and American flags is sus
pended above. The sheets and other linen
are exceedingly fine. The pillow cases
arc edged lace, and all the blankets are of
choicest merino wool. The coverlet is a
marvel of beauty, being of fine white silk,
elaborately embroidered. There is n large, cedir
panels, and the bureau spinedidly carved.
On the marble slab two heavy posts hold
a large oval mirror, on each side of which
is a winge d angel, kneeling with outstetch
ed hands. A marble top centre table, and
a full length mirror hung on pivots, a
lounge, rocking chairs, etc. , elegantly up
holstered, are also there. Th fender,
grate, etc., sparkle with gold and silver
sheen. A costly Ormolu clock and orna
ments are on the marble mantel. The
chandelier is of gilt and bronze, with china
globes and a grand drop. Damask cur
tains of blue and white lace are on the
windows. The walls are tinted azure and
pink.
The Russian ladies have arranged a plea
sant surprisi The colored photogriphs
of all the imperi:.l family are arranged up
on the walls.
The bath room, luxuriantly furnished,
is between this and the rear room. The
latter is to be occupied by the grand cham
berlain. It is sumptuously furnished in
black walnut, tapestry carpet, paintings,
ornaments, etc. In the small room the
body guards relief will be stationed, as is
required by the royal law. All over the
house the other rooms are handsomely fur
nished.
Visitors are not allowed to eutor under
any pretax, as it is intended to present the
romps fresh, new, neat and perfect in every
respcet.—.N. Y. Sun.
