THE RESULT IN HUNTINGDON COUNTY, The reader will learn, in the extensive table elsewhere in this paper, the result in this county. In it he will find much food for reflection. The first fact that will strike him will be the reduction of the Republican majority of 751 of 1871 to 559 on Tuesday of last week. "What," he will doubtless ask, "has been the cause of this reduction ?" We calmly refer him to the table. In it he will find that the Dem ocratic vote has been increased from 2389 in 1871 to 2690 in 1872, an increase of 304, while the Republican rote has only been increased from 3140 in 1871 to 3249 in 1872, an increase of 109. This is ow ing to two principal causes : The large influx of Democratic votes along the lines of the East Broad Top, and Lewisburg, Centre and Spruce Creek Railroads, and that the Democratic vote was much more thor oughly polled than the Republican vote. We are reliably informed that in many of the heavy Republican districts the vote was far from being fully out. This was the case in Porter, where at least 40 Re publicans were rot at the polls. Mr. Smith, of Ennisville, informs us that there were 30 or 35 in Jackson, and we learn that from 25 to 30 were not polled in Penn, and yet Penn did better than any other district in the county, giving us an increase of 33 over her vote of 1871. We have no hesitation in saying that there were 300 Republican voters in the county not out. These, added the vote, cast would have given us the majority which we claimed—from 850 to 900. These, we say, were tho principal causes of the re daction of our majority; but there were other causes. The most prominent of which was, that Mr. Speer, who has been heartily co-operating with one wing of the Republican party, for the purpose of form ing a co-alition which would elevate the Democratic party from a minority to a prevailing or majority position, was a can didate and he insisted upon and forced those who were weak enough to place themselves within his meshes, to support him. Ile did it by persuasion, brow-beat ing and a lavish distribution of money This demoralized many Republicans who were already displeased with everything and they went over to the opposition from Governor to Director of the Poor. This accounts for the "lower end," with scarce ly an honorable exception, doing so wretch edly. Of course Mr. Speer is the only party who made anything by this arrange ment, and the poor dupes who loaned themselves for the purpose, can now bind up their wounds "in sorrow sore," and step to the rear, where they will have to remain for some time to come. We warn ed them often enough, but they would not listen, and they will now have to put up with the conseqUences of their folly. Another fact that will strike the reader will be the small majorities by which a number of our candidates are elected. For the explanation of this fact we refer to the table again. Here it will be seen that all that portion of the county lying north and west of Huntingdon stood up squarely, or nearly so, to the whole regular ticket, while that portion lying south and east of Huntingdon uniformly cut it. This de monstrates clearly that the wing of the party controlled by Mr. Woods made a concerted effort to defeat the regular tick et, and clearly demonstrates another fact, that they were accessories before the fact in "setting up" the Independent ticket, as was se frequently charged during the cam paign. This ill-advised step they were, very likely, induced to take by Mr. Speer and an over-confidence in their own strength. They ought to have learned from their effort to defeat Gen. Lane and Judge Clarkson last fall, that a coalition with the Democrats would avail them noth ing, but not content with that, they de termined to commit political suicide. They have learned from sad experience that a sufficient number of Republicans cannot be carried over to the Democratic party to effect the result even on individual candi dates in this county. They have fully demonstrated, unnecessarily, their own weakness. We are compelled to make these deductions from the table before us, and our duty to the party, whose interests we are expected to guard, prompts us to severely reprobate any efforts which aim to disintegrate the Republican party. We come now to speak of the extraordi nary feature of the election—the vote cast for Hon. R. Milton Speer. We were well aware that Mr. Speer was regarded with favor by a large number of Republicans, and we therefore endeavored to place his selfishness, early in the campaign, before our readers so as to disabuse their minds and . guard them against his "wily flatter ing words." We were led to believe that he was co-operating with Mr. Woods to secure the defeat of Mr. Blair, believing him t 9 be the strongest man. But, when we say this, we do not wish to be under stood as making any reflection upon Prof. Guss, because we never thought that Mr. Woods desired his nomination and that he only supported him from the force of cir cumstances. In other words : We believe that Mr. Woods was so allied to Mr. Speer that he and those whom he could immedi ately control were compelled to support that gentleman, and the table fully bears us out. Look at it ! There is not a dis trict in which Mr. Morrell was cut two years ago, and Gen. Lane and Judge Clarkson last fall, that does not exhibit the same falling off for Barker. We do not pretend to charge Mr. Woods and his immediate followers with all the treachery practiced in this county towards that gen tieman. Oh, no ! There were warm friends of Mr. Morrell who felt lukewarm towards Mr. Barker, and cut him and al lowed him to be cut. Bat there is some palliation for this offense, but what pallia tion can be offered for Mr. Woods and those whom he controls for voting against the man whom they nominated ? Was there ever in the history of politics such treachery ? Deliberately and with malice aforethought setting up a candidate of their own house to defeat him ! Talk of being murdered in the house of your friends! It is as nothing in the scale of treachery as compared with this ! It may be possible that Mr. Woods can explain this conduct. If he can, our columns are open for the purpose, and we stand ready to do him and his friends jus tice, but until the figures before us are explained, we must hold those responsible who, we believe, made them. Mr. Speer has used the same men twice to secure an election, without any return. He is for tunate. Ns other man in this decade has been equally fortunate. We do not blame him for getting Republican votes, but we feel like holding the Republicans to a strict responsibility who have proven treacherous. In the main we have great reason to re joke. The whole regular county ticket has been elected and the unfaithful, stand convicted. Republicans, close up the col umns for Grant and Wilson, and in the furture : STAND BY THE PARTY ! MR. SCOTT'S FRANK AND THE MIXED TICKETS. The following letter from Senator Scott will explain how the mixed Democratic tickets came to be circulated under his frank, and, further, it completely vindicates him from any knowledge or participation in the matter : HUNTINGDON, Oct. 12, 1872. MR. DURBORROW : I am informed that tickets were received, by Republicans in this county, under my frank, containing, in some instances, the names of all the Democratic candidates except those for Congress and Assembly, and in others the names of all the Democratic , candidates except that for Assembly. I also learn that the statement is being made, in at least one other county in the Congression al District, that I sent out such tickets. It is due to myself that I notice and cor rect this error and mis-statement. I sent out no such tickets, and authori zed none such, nor indeed any tickets to be sent out under my frank. There were public documents which I had the right to send out, and which I desired to have sent through the Chairman of the Repub lican County Committee, Mr. Tyhurst, and franked envelopes were furnished him for that purpose, with the injunction that they were to be used for no other purpose. On Saturday before the election I first learned that such tickets had been receiv ed, and at once disavowed having anything to do with them, and made inquiry of the Chairman to ascertain whether my frank had been used by himself or any one else for such purpose. He informed me that Geo. Lane, the candidate for Assembly, to further his own election, had sent out each tickets, and had used a number of these franked envelopes before he discovered and stepped it. I immediately denounced the act as a fraud upon the party and a wrong upon myself, and informed Gen. Lanethat Iso considered it. To my letter be made, no reply, and making this statement as due to myself, it remains for him to offer his justification to the party, if he has any to offer. As this subject has been mentioned in other counties, it is proper for me to say that while I did not conceal from Mr. Barker or his friends, before the Confer ence met, my opinion that his nomination would be an unwise one, after his nomina tion I earnestly advocated his election not only in public speeches, but in all my pri vate intercourse with voters, and let the responsibility for his defeat rest where it may, it is not at my door. Yours, &c., JOHN SCOTT. GEN. GRANT'S DRUNKENNESS There is an hanest Greeley paper in Maine, and such a journal is so hard to find, outside of Massachusetts, that the fact deserves especial mention. We refer to the Gardner, Mine Home Journal, edited and owned by H. K. Morrell. Mr. Morrell is an officer of the Suns of Tem perance, and having read the charges of the reverend slanderer Denison, and others, in relation to the intemperate hab its of General Grant, he wrote to F. M. Bradley, a prominent temperance men in Washington, asking what he knew and what he thought on the subject. Mr. Bradley has held the second office in the Nstional Division of the Sons of Temper ance, and is a man whose character will better stand inspection than that of the Rev. Mr. Denison, whose piety any temper ance seen► to be assumed chiefly for the purpose of securing an easy living off from the Christian and temperance public. The Home Journal says; "Though we do not choose to vote for General Grant's re election, a decent regard for fairness, for our nation's reputation, and for respect to our chief magistrate, impels us to publish' Brother Bradley's letter, and to say that we believe he thinks it true. Neither Horace Greeley nor any honest man that votes for him wishes to build up his party by slandering the President, Perhaps we are going out of our way, thus to "white wash" General Grant, but as an attack has been made upon him by * a. professed temperance man, we feel a little more call ed upon to tell "What we know about it. WASHINGTON, D. C Aug. 27,187 2. Bro. 11. K. MORRELL—DEAR SIR:— Your tavor of the 21st was duly received. In reply to your interrogatories I would say that I have seen General Grant fre quently on the streets and at his receptions during the past three years, and have never seen him under the influence of in toxicating liquors • and after diligent in quiry of men of both political parties, I cannot find any one who hasseon him thus. In this capital city, where politicians do not hesitate to attack the personal charac ter of opposing candidates, such a charge has not been made thus far during the campaign, and will not be made for any Washington audience would indignantly reject it. Could you consult our citizens en masse in regard to this charge of drunk enness against the President so industri ously circulated througout the country, I think you would not find a man of charac ter to testify to its truthfulness. In my judgement it is simply a campaign false hood, like many others circulated in regard to the candidates now before the people. That the drinking of intoxicating liquor is deemed a disqualification for office, is to me one of the most hopeful signs of pro gress in our political life. Very truly yours, F. M. BRADLEY. NOW FOR GRANT. HIS ELECTION CERTAIN. The Electoral College for 1872 The electoral vote for President in 1872, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, will be considerably greater than it was in 1868, under the previous apportionment. Many States have increased their respective votes, and several States which did not vote at all in 1868 will now take part in the election. The following table will show the electoral vote in 1868:with the popular majority in each State for Grant or Seymour, and also the number of votes to which each State will be entitled in 1872 : Grant. Seymour. Maj. 1568.1872.

Grant's majority on p polar vote, 309,568. The whole number of electors has been increased 49, and three States, which had 23 votes, did not vote in 1868—making 72 additional electoral votes, or 366 in all. Supposing the States voting would go as before, and that the Rebel States that did in not vote 1868 should go against Grant this year, the result would be : Whole number of electoral votes 366 Necessary to a cboice. Electoral votes for Grant 257 Electoral votes for opposition lO9 But owing to the 'split' in the Opposition ranks, it is quite probable that Grant will carry New Jersey, New York and Oregon this year, making together 47 votes, which. deducted from tho 109, would leave but 62 electoral votes, or eleven less than Sey mour had four years ago. The closer the table is scanned the more impossible it ap pears that any combination that can be formed will be able to "beat Grant." SUMMARY OF THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY.

Uninjured—Loss Estimated at s4oo.ooo—Employees Indicate their Te votion in a Practical Way—The Roll ing .Mill to be Reconstructed immediate ly—Brief Delay in Filling Orders. JOHNSTOWN, PA., October 13 1872. The rolling mill building of the Cambria works, covering about five acresof ground, was discovered to be on fire at midnight, Saturday night•. and although the firemen, workmen and citizens made prompt and courageo•is efforts, only a part of the main building and the west wing were saved in a damaged condition. The heavy machi nery of the mill is not thought to be•much injured, but the light machinery is greatly damaged and destroyed. At a meeting of the foremen, at which Mr. Geo. Fritz, Chief Engineer, presided, resolutions were passed expressing their sympathy with the company and showing their devotion to its interests, by proposing that the men connected with the works should contribute a day's and the foremen a week's labor, and a large force will be at work on Monday morning clearing away the ruins to hasten the repairs. The delay in filling orders will be but brief, as it is expected that a portion of the machinery will be running ander tem porary shelter in about two weeks, and the remainder soon after. The mill will be constructed of fire proof materials. The steel works, shops, furnaces and other works are safe and in operation as usual. The amount of loss, which is heavy and partially covered by insurance, cannot be estimated now. The cause of the fire is not known, but is believed to be acciden tal. Several firemen were seriously injur ed, but fortunately no lives lost. MIFFLIN, PA., October IE, 1872. Mr. Paul Stack house, Assistant Super intendent of the Cambria Iron Company. reports that their loss by fire is less severe than at first supposed, and will not exceed four hundred thousand dollars, less one hundred thousand dollars insurance. The principal rolling stock, more especially all the valuable engines, which were shielded by previous precautions, and the presistent effims of a well regulated fire department, remain comparatively unbarmed,inasmuch as by the erection of temporary coverings work will be resumed within two weeks. The works will soon be even more sub stantially rebuilt, almost exclusively of iron. Only the rolling mill proper is damaged. Owing to the amity of feeling prevailing between the management and workingmen, the latter have volunteered their services gratis to remove the debris, which will be accomplished within two days. The man agers are already en route to Philadelphia to complete the necessary arrangements fur resumption. The cause of the fire is un. known. Electoral vote Thanksgiving Day. The President has set apart Thursday, November 2E, as a day of Thanksgiving, and has issued the following proclamation : WHEREAS, The revolution of another year has again brought the time when it is usual to look back upon the past and publicly to thank the Almighty fur His mercies and His blessings; And whereas, If any one people has more occasion than another for such thank fulness, it is the citizens of the United States, whose Covernment is their creature, subject to their behests, who have reserved to themselves ample civil and religious freedom and equality before the law, who during the last twelve months have enjoy ed exemption from any grievous or gener al calamity, and to whom prosperity in ag riculture, manufactures and commerce has been vouchsafed : 317 380 159 184 Now, therefore, by these considerations, I recommend that on Thursday, the 28th day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship, and there make their acknowledgments to God for His kindness and bounty. In witneEs whereof I hal7e hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. -.184 Done at the city of Washington, this 11th day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1872, and of the independence of the United States the ninety-seventh.
