Th Huntingdon Journal. J. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINO DON, PENN'A NOVEMBEI: 17, Is7i; FRIDAY, Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. Thanksgiving Day. PROCLAMATION BY TIIE Cov ER NOEL In the name and by the authority of the Com monwealth of Penns) Ivauia, 1, John F. Ilartranft, Governor of the Commonwealth : . Notwithstanding the present depression of busi ness and the accompanying distress, the people of the country continue to enjoy manifold bloNing , :, and the more especially in the preservation of their institutions and liberties through the vicissitudes of a century, and in the steadfast faith that the light of God's favor is only temporarily dimmed by the clouds that darken the country ; now, there fore, I, John F. liartranft, Governor of Pennsyl 'aris, do recommend that the good people of this Commonwealth, laying aside all secuiar occupa tions, assemble together in their respective places or worship on Thursday, the 30th day of Novem ber, 1878, being the same day set apart therefor by the President •of the 'United States, to give thanks to Almighty God for His continued kind ness, and to merit by prayer and thankfulness the 4alfillment of all reasonable hopes and the gratill •ation of all just desires. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at Harrisburg, this, the 31st day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight bun dred and seventy-six, and of the Commonwealth the one hundred and first By the Governor , J. F. lIATITRANTT, M. S. QUAY, Secretary of the Commonwealth Wst regret very much that our candidate for Congress was unsuccessful. But we have the extreme satisfaction of knowing that Huntingdon county stood up to the work nobly. Tins thanks of the Republican Huntingdon county an) due to every ma o who did his duty at Oa late election and there were very few who did not. The colored voters deserve especial mention.— They voted the Republican ticket with scarcely a scratch. THE closing of the Centennial Exhibi Lion, on Friday last, was an event that marks a great era ;n our history. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the cere• loony was conducted in Judges' Hall. The President, the members of his Cabinet, Foreign Miaisters and Commissioners, and many other dignitaries were in attendance. The crowd wax not so large as on the day previous. It wasU brilliant affair. Tan latest Congressional returns indi eate that the House stands 144 Republi cans and 146 Democrats. The New Hamp shire eleetiena are yet to be held. Should they go Republican, which is not unlikely, we would have a House with oue or two majority on that side, yet the probabilities are that the Democrats will hare a bare majority. The excess either way will be trifling. THE temper of our Democratic contem poraries has improved very much in the last few days. Many of them, by their bluster and threats, reminded us very much of boisterous school boys who deserved to be spanked and pat in their little beds.— The man who endeavors to inflame the _passions of the people, and incites them to commit breaches of the peace, deserves the execrations of all good citizens. There is elegal remedy for every political wrong. Wa are compelled tc go to press again without being able to give our readers the result of the Presidential election. The matter has settled down to Florida and Louisiana. Returning Bonds arc now in session in these States counting the votes u provided by law. A large number of influential northern men, of both parties, by request, are in attendance, and we have every confidence that a fair and honest return will be made. This is all the Be, publican party asks. With this it will be content. Toss electoral vote this year will be closer than it has been fur many years.— In 1797, Bays the New York Herald, John Adams, received 71 votes in the electoral college, and Thomaii Jefferson CB. In 1801 Jefferson received 73 and Burr 73, and the election was decided by the House. Since then there has been no close count in the electoral college, though there have been several occasions, when there being more than two candidates, no one had a clear majority of the electoral vote and the election was completed by the House of Bepresentives, as the constitution in such cane provides. It is time to abolish the electoral college and to allow the people to vote directly fur President. Tlll result in Huntingdon county was as complete as the most sanguine Republi can coald,have expected. The vote on the Presidential question, in a bitterly con tested campaign, is the best evidence of the strength of the party in the county. The vote is the heaviest, by GOO or 700, ever east, and fully demonstrates the power of the Republican party, if harmonious, to elect any reasonable ticket. Five hundred and eleven is a handsome margin, and this, by careful management, iu a few years will advance to the handsome majority of the "days of auld 'zing sync." The prAli gals will return because there will be no prospects ahead outside of the Republican organisation, and the doubtful voters will fall in with the strong side. Republicans of Huntingdon county, the clouds have cleared away, and a clear sky is once more ahead. Let by-gorses be by gonws, and go forward as cue man. All thanks to the Presidential campaign of 1876 which drew party lines so tightly and carried the ticket through, victoriously, with the ex- ceptiou of our friend, Perry Moore, csq., who was the victim of circumstances. We feel extremely sorry for Mr. Moore, but the desire for an Associate Judge in town broke through all party lines and carried him down. Lct all our friends take courage and act the part of wise men in the future, and the recollection of the turmoil and confu sion of the laat five or six years will pass away and be buried in well-merited obliv ion. Take courage, friends. ~` THE. 'EOPLE ALLRiGHT! Oar political institutioni are once more subjected to one of those extraordinary tests from which no government can claim ,mire immunity, and a:.!7ainst which it has licen thonyht that absolutism alone affords a sufficient protection. We arc divided into two great parties, each claiming and doubtless believing itself to be in the ma_ jority. In some respects the situation is Without a precedent. The fierce contests which resulted, the first in the election of Jefferson, and the second in that of John Quincy Adams to the Presidency, each by the House of Representatives, were con ducted strictly according to constitutional forms, nor did any question arise fur the solution of which a sufficient legal author ity was xvanting. The madness of party never exhibited a fiercer phase than upon each of these occasions, but both divisions honorably recognized the restraints of our fundamental law, and never thought for a moment of thetionsly questioning the event. The point of the present crisis is in the extreme closeness of the vote by States, and the doubts whieh have been cast over the probable fairness of the re turns from three States. Under such cir cumstances clamor would be easy, and wild protestation the most natural resource.— But the importance of tile matters at issue and the imminence of a great public danger seem at once to have sobered the popular mind, while we find the leaders of both parties apparently conceding the utter un importance of a mere political victory in comparison with the anarchy an all its terrible consequences which might follow any attempt to seize the government in opposition to the popular will, however dubiously expressed. The danger justifies the extraadinary course which has been pursued—the recommendations of the National Committees, and the prompt ac tion of the distinguished citizens who have consented to do whatever their presence can do toward securing an honest enumer ation of the Louisiana votes EDITO ,arty of Meanwhile, as of good import, we call attention with pleasure and pride to the honorable conduct of the whole country under these delicate and exciting circum stances. The desire for au honest decision seems to be everywhere the prevailing spirit. We have nowhere any violent action, nor any threats of it. Profoundly anxious, fully comprehending the extent of the difficulty and dancer, each with an adequate consciousness of how much it has to lose or gain by the decision, we find both the Republicans and Democrats con ducting themselves thus far with admirable moderation. The general feeling is all upon the side of law and of order. The universal desire is to stand by the Con stitution, whichever of the candidates may be President. Gen. Grant says in his letter to Gcn. Sherman : "No man worthy "of the office of President should be will "ing to hold it if counted in or placed "there by fraud. Either party can afford "to be disappointed in the result. The "country cannot afford to have the result "tainted by the suspicion of illegal or false "returns." These are noble words fitly spoken. They express briefly but forcibly the whole moral of the i situation ; and it is with pride that we :state the conviction that they will meet with the approbation of the great body of citizens. It' this be so, we were never further than to day from anarchy and front political failure.— It will not do to say hereafer that our democratic government is lot a strong one. On the contrary, simple as it is, relying as it does upon a mere minimum of physical force, depending as it does for its very existence upon the naked majesty of the law, there is not at this hour a government in Europe which is stronger in the divinity which hedges kings, or in the armies which sometimes keep them upon their thrones long after the divinity has disappeared. Difficult as our situa tion may be, there is no panic, no fright, no agitation upon our exchanges, no fear of ruin to perplex the nation. There is, on the contrary, ample confidence that the machinery of the government will go on e that all doubts will be removed and all differences adjusted, while cat+ party, little as it may like the policy and conduct of its opponent, feels nothing of that, deep distrust of the other which would regard any disorder as preferable to defeat. We hope and think that a few will bring a sufficient solution of the problem. Of the way in which it should be salved, we have our own opinion, but we will not obtrude it here. We prefer simply to ex press our unimpaired confidence in the good sense and honesty and true-hearted persistency of the, people of the United States. If anything can rouse the wrath of our voters to a point beyond control, it will be an attempt to "count in" or "count out" a President by means in the least questionable. There had better be no ex periment of that kind. It might prove fatal to those who tried it.—New York Tribune. CONGRESSMEN ELECTED. The following Congressmen were elected iu Penullvania. 1.

According to the census of 1870 the population of these States FULA : South Carolina Ploriaa Louisiana It is thus shown thnt in South Carolina. and L9uisiana, the blacks outnumber the whites, while in Flor:da they fell but little short. But in addition to the colored vote there is a considerable white Repub lican vote in each of these States. The white Republican vote of Louisiana may be fairly estimated at 15,000, and that of Flerida and South Carolina at 10,000 each. It is evident, therefore, that on anything like a fair vote and honest count all three of these States are decidedly Republican. And their later votes confirm this view. In 1872 South Carolina save 49,587 ma jority for Grant, Florida gave him 2,336 majority, and Louisiana 14,634, while in 1873 South Carolina elected a Republican Governor by 11,589 majority. In 1872 Florida elected a Republican Governor by 1,599 majority, and in 187-I gave 1,054 Republican majority for Congressmen.— Hence, an honest canvass in those States will certainly show majorities for Hayes, unless intimidation and murder have kept back the colored voters from the polls.

The following is the method in which Presi dential Electors are chosen, and the manner of procedure in the Electoral College : Presidential electors are chosen by general ticket. The names of two men, corresponding to the number of senators which a State is entitled to in Congress, together with the names of as many others as there are repre sentatives of the State in the Lower House of Congress, one to reside in each congressional district, are placed upon the ballot, and every voter votes for the whole number of presiden tial electors to be chosen in the State, and by a law of Congress the electors are required to be chosen in all the States on the same day, which is the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in November. The electors so chosen in each State meet at their respective State Cap itols on the first Wednesday of December, and vote for President and Vice President, and make and sign three certificates of all the votes gis'en by them and seal up the same. One of these certificates is to be sent, by a person duly appointed by them, to the presi dent of the Senate, at the seat of Government, before the Ist of January next ensuing; another is to be forward by mail, also directed to the president of the Senate, and the third is to be delivered to the United States Judge of the district in which the judges are assem bled. On the second Wednesday of Febuary the president of the Senate, in the presence of all the senators and representatives, opens the certificates from all the States ; and the votes are counted. The person having a majority of all the electoral votes for President is elec ted. If no person has a majority of the electoral votes the House of Representatives must choose the President from those candi dates, not exceeding three, who had the high est number of the electoral votes. Rut in so doing members do not all vote together; but those of each State vote by themselves, and the candidate who receives the votes of a majority of the Representatives of a State has one vote from such State ; from which it ap pears that there are only as many presidential voters as there are States. The person who receives the votes of a majority of the States 13 elected. Address to the People of the State. The following address to the people of this State has been issue(' by the Republican State Committee : PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 8,187 C, Republicans of Pennsylvania! Your work in the late momeutous struggle demands and deserves commendation. Your two great cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, bravely held the outer forts, on the Deleware river in the east and the Ohio river in the west. So guarded against the invader, the brave men inside surpassed themselves in patriotic hero ism. Our superb Commonwealth has been made by them more impregnable than it was in the days of the rebellion. Your admirable organization, in the mass and in detail, must be preserved from this hour, and from this spot we must mantain it, holding the Demo cratic party, which has secured a bare major ity of the electoral vote only by undeniable force and fraud, to all its pledges, while stern ly adhering to our own. The Republican par ty of Pennsylvania have thus a double duty before them. They must watch the enemy in his new power while vigilantly preserving their allegiance to their own principles. In this State we have won everything of national significance. We have removed a Democratic Legislature from our State capital ; we have gained probably eight members of Congress ; we have secured a Jackson and a Lincoln ma jority of the popular vote. The credit is due to you ; Republicans of Pennsylvania, simply because you have only thought of your coun try, and not of personal disappointments and trifling side issues. True to your glorious past, you will be found equal to all the respon sibilities of the future. By order of the State Committee. HENRY M. Froyr, Chairman A. 11ILSON 15 r ORIIS, Secretary. .- . . The El , ction— Wednesday Night Still Uncer tain—Anticipations of Trouble—Other Nat ters. NEw IORK., Novembe i r 15, 1876, Nothing is talked of or heard of in the city, but the election. It passed off here very quiet ly, there being but few tights, end no rioting whatever. The night before the election, there was a little trouble in Despros:.4es Street, in which one man was killed and two or three wounded. A colored club from Jersey City had participated in a Republican parade, and were on their way home. Now, it has been the rule in this city, that au Irishman had a perfect right to beat and maltreat a negro, whenever and wherever lie choose, and it has never been expected that the Ethiopian would resist. Consequently a party of Irish Demo crats assaulted these negroes with a shower of brickbats and stones, and made the usual rush upon thou. They were astonished. The negroes—most of them had served in the army —drew up in order, and poured a volly into their ranks from revolvers, and then charged upon them with knives. This was so com pita a reversal of all rule and precedent, that the Irishmen did not understand it. To kill a "nagur " was good sport, but to have a "na gur" kill them was not amusing. Such of them as were able fled ingloriously, and the negroes proceeded very quietly on their way. The "nigger" is getting to have rights which red nosed men are bound to respect. They were at the polls all day Tuesday and voted the same as other people, much to the disgust of the thousands of naturalized Irish who held this city in their hands. Tuesday night was an eventful night in this city. A drenching rain that had been falling all day continued all the night. But had no effect upon the eager and excited populace. The headquarters of the National Republican Committee were at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and as early as seven o'clock the streets in the vicinity were crowded with an excited mass of people, awaiting news of the result. Twenty third street, Fifth avenue, and the streets adjacent were packed with a throng, with and without umbrellas, all eager to bear the returns, and know who was to be the next President. The doors of the committee rooms were guarded by policemen to keep out the impatient tL rong who had money, or what was more, opinions staked upon the result. At eight o'clock the news commenced com ing in. It was all one wny. New York city had gone democratic by majorities which no one anticipated, and the Republicans looked blue, and many of them went home feeling that chaos had come again, and that there was no hope for anything in this world. Fol lowing this came the returns from Indiana, showing a complete and overwhelming demo cratic victory in that State, and there was another exodus of republicans._ _ . IV hi te. t uiwed. ,250,667 415,814 _96,057 91,689 ::62,(145 364,210 Then I left the Fifth Avenue Hotel and went down to Tammany Hall and Irving Hall, the headquarters of the democracy. The scene was quite different.. All was jubilation and joy. There was more drunkenness, more un reasoning, unmeaning jubilation than I ever saw before or ever want to see again. Men who expect places wider Tilden, men who have promises of positions in the event of a democratic success were reeling drunk in the hope of the victory which they believed they had achieved, and they did not conceal their exultation. The rum-mills in the vicinity were packed with them, and the entire terri tory was made as complete a pandemonium as the most malicious devil that Milton ever painted could have desired. And so through the whole of Tuesday night. The democratic quarters of the city were awake and—drunk. Wednesday morning a change came over the spirit of their dreams. New York had gone Democratic, so.had Indiana, but they woke up to the realization of the fact that to elect Tilden the Southern States were necessa ry, and there were grave doubts as to whether he had got them all. Florida looked badly for them—South Carolina was in doubt, North Carolina was ditto, and Louisiana looked cer tain for Hayes. The Democracy suddenly got sober and began to oebave itself. The exul tation of the drunken night befor settled down into the sobriety of a doubt. It was not im possible that Hayes was elected after all, and possibly they had been counting chickens be fore they were batched. WEDNESDAY NIGHT STILL UNCERTAIN, Ten thousand men who had been promised positions under Tilden began to look blue. The news came that Florida had gone for Hayes, and that Louisiana and South Caroli na had done likewise. Evidently they bad rejoiced before their time. Thursday morning,"Florida,'South Carolina, Louisiana—Hayes 1 Hayes, 185 votes just enough to elect. Democracy blue, and a little animation observable among republicans. But the bets ! Immediately the Democratic papers commenced issuing false bulletins. Reports came in all day that these States had gone for Tilden, and crowds of people thronged about the various newspaper offices to see the latest. Add in the pool rooms up-town, the old gam blers who had put their money upon Tilden, took advantage of these lying bulletins—they were displayed in their interest—to quietly hedge by having others bet upon Tilden, while they, by the help of their outside friends, were quietly making themselves good by placing their money on Hayes. Whatever may be t!►o result, and at this writing it is impossible to say, this is what the Domocratic gamblers are doing. The Democracy have already foreshadowed their purpose. In the event of Hayes' election, they intend to claim that it was effected by fraud, and to dispute it. The 'braid this morning gave the keynote of their purpose in prognosticating a civil war if the election shall be decided by a single vote. The De mocracy of New York, backed up by the solid South, intend, if the election is decided for Hayes by a majority of one or two States, to put in a claim of fraud and dispute it. That this is their purpose is evident from the ex pressions that have been made on the streets and in their:newspapers, whenever the returns indicated the success of the Republican ticket. Desperate men can make trouble, but it is difficult to see what they can do when the Government happens to be in tbe hands of the conservative class of the people, whose only interest is in favor of law and order and op posed to the Mexicanizing process of deciding elections by revolutionary methods. If this is attempted it will come to an ignominious end. The United States is not Mexico, and Mexican processes will not have support. If Hayes is elected he will be inaugurated, and woe be to the faction that stands in the way. There is no use of writing of other matters, for there is nothing but tho election thought of or spoken of. Business is entirely suspen ded, and nothing is thought of or talked of but the election. When that is over I will try to write you something of general interest. Just now the city is a buzzing ms.ss of enquir ers after election news. Irmo. A few days since an effort was made to st:. , al the remains of the immortal AnaAnAm LpicoLs, but the plot was discovered ; and the parties detected in the net. A special dis patch to the New Yolk Tirics regarding the matter says : _ '•An inquiry into the facts of the attempted theft of Abraham Lincoln's body at Springfield show that prior to the time that Mr. Elmer Washburne was invited to resign his position as the head of the secret service bureau by the President he bad obtained information from Detective Tyrrell, of the secret service in Chicago, that there was an attempt to be made to remove the remains of Abraham Lincoln from the monument at Springfield. The most extraordinary part of this disclosure was the agency of the friend of old Ben Boyd, the no torious counterfeiter, now serving a ten years term in the Illinois penitentiary, had in the proposed scheme of villiany. Ben Boyd was captured by Elmer Washburne sometime ago, and a gang of counterfeiters such as seldom obtain a foot-hold in the State was broken up. Boyd through the agency of his friends and his own wealth, has for some time past been trying to liberate himself from prison. The shrewd scheme was to carry off the remains of Mr. Lincoln, secrete them and keep them until President Grant should be compelled to give Boyd his feedom, conditioned on the restora tion of the remains to their former resting place. The information thus obtained was conveyed to Leonard Sw ett, esq., and Colonel Robert Lincoln, both of this city, and steps were taken to rustrate the plan. Mr. Swett stated to-day that while many people might think this dessecration of the tomb of Mr. Lincoln a mere job "put up" by parties for selfish interes ts, they were greatly mistaken. He believed there was a well concerted plan on the part of these desperate men to secure possession of these remains." . A gentleman named Jones came to Rallis burg ou Friday from Elmira, N. Y., in search of his wife and daughter, aged nine years, and found them living in arentedhouse. Mr. Jones had left his home in Elmira, and in his absence his wife eloped, taking the daughter with her, and met her paramour in llarrisburg, when they set up an establishment, assuming the name of Getchell.

The Centennial Exhibition The Centennial Exhibition closed Nov. 16 with formal ceremonies. A brief resume of the statistics of the exhibition shows some very interesting features. The number of pay ing admissions on May 10, opening day, was 76,172, but it is estimated that, including free admissions, there were over 130,000 persons present. On the 4th ofJuly the principal cer emonies of the day occurred in Independence Square. The paying admissions to the exhi bition that day numbered 46,290. Pennsylvania day, September 28, had 257,169 paying admis sions; Maryhted and Delaware day drew the largest attendance to the exhibition at any one time. The total admissions for each month may be estimated from the following cash re turns from the turnstiles : The total cash re ceipts in May were $189,490.35 ; June, 347,- 833.41 ; July, $318,199.23; August, $415,659.. 25 ; September, $929,056 ; October, $160,811.- 50 ; ten days (estimated) in November, $475.- 000 Grand total, $3,835,049.74 for the whole term of the exhibition. The board of finance expended $7,000,000. in the buildings and improvements of the ex hibition. This amount is covered by the fol lowing receipts : Pennsylvania's appropria tion, $$1,000,000; Philadelphia's $1,500,000; concessions, gifts and interest. $500,000 ; stock subscriptions, $2,500,000, and the national ap propriation, sl,soo,ooo—total, $7,000,000 will amount to about $1,830,000, and this de ducted from the admission money will leave over $2,000,000 net profit, or eighty per cent. on the stock subscriptions.
