Tile Huntingdon Journal J. R. DURBORROW HUNTINGTh ,N, RECE3IBEII I, Is7t; FRIDAY, - Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata-Valley. THE VEXED QUESTION "Who is President to-dsy ?" is. the salutation which greets our ears at every turn. Not that people appear to be in tensely interested, but it seems a sort of a standing joke. And in truth, there is a good bit of joke and farce about it. Just think of the Presidency of the United States depending upon the tricks, qu;rks and quibbles, of a score or so of lawyers, before a few Returning Boards ! It's hu miliating. It belittles the office. It in creases our contempt for the American politician. Not only for the politician, but for the average American statesman.— Sancho Panza was a small-fisted sort of a squire, but he was a hundred times a bet ter man than many of the petty-foggers who attempt to run American politics. We hardly know how to express our contempt for the class of men who win, or try to win, by cheating their fellow men out of their political rights. There never was a meaner and yet more heinous crime, and yet it appears, in this the Centennial year of American Independence, that thousands upon thousands of men, whose cht ranters are above suspicion in every ether respect, are engaged in this infamous business.— Nor is it confined to one party. Both parties are cursed with this class of crimi nals. It seems to us as if we have scarcely a decent corporals guard left who are above this crime. In truth, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the educated sod ignorant, take a hand at it. In Heaven's name is there no remedy ? If there is none we might as well abolish popular elections at once,beeausd it can on ly be a question of time—sooner or later— the whole fabric must tumble to the ground. There is certainly a remedy. At least let us hope so. However, while our contempt has been inexpressible for the great mass of our politicians, we have turned to Gov. Ruth erford B. Hayes with profound respect and admiration. He has, in the crisis through which we have been passing for the last month, shown himself as mach superior to the ordinary seeker after office as the golden rays of the sun surpass in brilliancy those of the milder and more silvery moon. He is as far removed from the mean and grovelling politician as there is space be tween the abodes of Light and Darkness— between Heaven and its antipode. It is this that gives-us hope. The race of good and noble men has not perished from the face of the Earth. And it was fitting, su premely fitting, , that the Republican party should select one of this class to be its standard bearer. And how nobly has he vindicated that choice ! There is no stain, no blemish upon his fair escutcheon. No frauds, concocted with his advice and con sent, can be traced to his door or to the door of his immediate friends. The great Republican party tendered him a nomina tion and his election was left to the people, tad right nobly did they respond. How was it with his antagonist But we have no desire to draw a contrast. Any reader can do that for himself. Bat, now how stands the vexed question ? Well, South Carolina, without interfer ring with the returns of a single precinct. has been counted for Hayes by majorities ranging from 300 to 950. After the Re turning Board had made this announce ment it went on to canvass the vote for local officers under the direction of the Supreme Court. But after it had corn pleted the count, instead of obeying the injunction of the Court to certify the re turns to it, the Board gave certificates to those it claimed to be elected and adjourned without date. This the Court held to be contempt and cited the members of the Board before it and on its refusal to purge, they were fined $1,500 each and sent to prison, where they were confined until re leased on a writ of Habeas Corpus by a U. S. District Judge. In Louisiana the Returning Board has canvassed all the districts not contested and there is a majority for Hayes of over 5,000. The contested districts are now being heard. They snake bagte s:owly because they are very tedious. A. number of "bull-dosed" districts will be rejected or the negro votes will be counted by affidavit. In Florida the Returning Board is counting the vote. The State will be ex tremely close. It is thought that there will not be above 50 votes either way. The country is settling down not caring very much how the thing terminates.— The people say it is a fight between the politicians that are in and those who desire to get in, and they may fight it out, A BANS ROBBER MAKES BIS Es • CAPE.—John Rolland, the Chambersburg bank robber, who was convicted last April and sentenced to twenty years' imprison ment in the Eastern Penitentiary, but who was granted a new trial by the Supreme Court and was taken back to Chambers burg to await another trial, broke jail at that place some time on Sunday night and made his escape. Rolland cut through the ceiling of his cell, and through the roof and reached the ground by means of a rope. It is supposed the cecessary tools, &c , were furnished him by outside parties. THE Huntingdon Journal is jubilant over the majority of 511 for Hues in Huntingdon county, and predicts that the good condition of the &publican party will sum enable them to increase their ma jority largely. The Journal did good work in the recent campaign —Uhambersbury Repository. THE Philadelphia Times was issued from its new building, corner of Eighth and Chestnut streets, tin Monday last. The Times is a wide-awake paper, its news a]- ways fresh and reliable, and its editor strikes from the shoulder every pop. WALIAX. M. TWEED is growing old. 'Ms "Boss" is no longer a "Boss"—lie is a mere wreck. ! ANALYSIS OF TP.E PRESIDENTIAL NOV. f:2lloNiirig sliouT he rcla!ivc Coe ,ensus of `0_,70, geographical area, wealth, i;opulation and intelligence of the Hayes an t Tilden States : I 7:5 • ptuu 1011 U.

E. , 7$ 73 Hence the States represented in the vote of Hayes, if elected, contain nearly 400,. 000 square miles more of territory than the area embraced in the Statesrepresented by the vote of Tilden, and nearly $l,OOO, 000.00(► more of the wealth of the nation; while those represented by Tilden's vote embrace nearly all the ignorance and con sequent crime of' the nation, and those represented by the vote of Hayes its very highest intelligence, the noblest culture and learning, as they do its greatest wealth and taxation, and the largest, portion of its geographical area. By a singular pervert sity of things, the vote of Tilden, the can didate of the men and party who labor to disfranchise the negro, to wrest from him all political power, represents the great bulk of the negro population, and Hayes' vote a vast majority of the white popula tion, as it does the land, the wealth, and the intelligence of the Republic. Analyze and run the parallel as you will, the result is the same: in the relative number of libraries, public and private, and in the number of their volumes; in the relative number of institutions of learning and school facilities and attend ance, in the relative number of authors and works published and read, and news papers and periodicals printed ; in the relative character of populations, their relative thrift, industry, wealth and morals; under every analysis and comparison, the dread color line of ignorance and crime bounds and darkens the Tilden States.— That., too, while giving Tilden all the ad vantages of the notorious Democratic vio lence and fraud at the late election, while counting for him all the states thus carried. Thus the electoral vote of New York will be counted for him. But is he legally entitled to the vote ? He carried New York city and its surroundings through the terrible frauds of its vicious classes.— The State was heavily against him. Thus the city, by its frauds and crimes, dis franchises the legal majority in the State, and Tilden will count its electoral vote as the representative, not of its legal popular majority, bat of its Five Points and its criminal classes. In like manner, and for like reasons, Tilden will count the electoral vote of In diana, only carried for him by the fraud ulent Kentueky vote, principally in three counties, against the legal popular major ity of the State ; and or New Jersey and Connecticut, only carried for him by col onization, false naturalization and regis tration, and wholesale repeating, violently disfranchising, as in New York, the legal popular majorities of those States. In the Sontli the violence and fraud was even more notorious and flagrant, and the pretended popular majorities even greater cheats. The election, indeed, was simply an infamous and bloody farce; it was no election. In the States of Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, etc., with the State eove r t m ents and all the machinery of election under the con trol of the • Confederates, uo Republican organization or canvass was permitted, and the pretended popular majorities rpturned are simply the' handiwork of their return ing boards or State officers. In North Carolina the Republicans carried the State by a handsome majority on the legal vote. The returns show that their candidates polled a heavier vote than was ever before polled by any party in the State, but the ballot-box stuffing in the Vance counties disfranchises the legal popular majority in the State. In Alabama and Mississippi crime rioted in all manner of deviltry. In the two States, both confessedly Republi can by at least sixty or seventy thousand votes, the pretended Democratic majori ties reach 80,000 ; and as in Mississippi and Alabama, so by systematic intimida tion, through organized violence and blood, they desperately attempted to wrest South Carolina, Louisana and Florida from their legal Republican majorities. Hence, if we strike from Tilden's poll the majorities thus obtained through gi gantic fraud, he has not carried six of the seventeen States ctaimed for him, and he stands in an immense minority of the legal popular vote, as lie does in the represen tation of the wealth awl intefligeuce. of the nation. The infamous and violent fraud, in the form of an election just cloyed, has no par allel in the history of free government. In 1861 the Democratic rebellion was, by force of arms, to destroy the Union, to blot out the 1?. public from the family of nations, and to erect an oligarchy, based upon ne gro slavery, upon the ruins of American liberty. In 1876 the Confederate Demo cratic conspiracy is but slightly modified— a rebellion by all malignant agencies, by systematic intimidation and fraud, through organized violence and murder, to disfran chise the legal, popular majorities of the States, to subvert the Constitution, to de• stroy the Democratic principle underlying it and our laws, and substitute for it, in the rule of the government and nation, the old oligarchical tyranny; Have they succeed ed ?

EvEta other man you meet wants a recounaendutiou furs subordinate position in the _Legislature. Address of the Colored men of Lou isiana to the People of the Country. The Chicago Inter-Ocean publishes the fol lowing address dated at New Orleans, on the 19th inst. : To the People of the United States :—We, the colored people, are but a simple folk, plain and unlettered, but nevertheless we hope we shall be understood. We desire plainly and briefly to relate the actual political condition of our race in Louisiana, and to ask the just people of the North to render ns that moral aid and protection which our peculiar situa tion requires. The Government clothed us with the various duties of American citizen ship, among which was the right to vote, which fact has incensed the Southern Democrats against us that they murder our people and outrage their families after such beastly modes that we dare not relate them even in our un• lettered manner. We are unable to cope with the white man without that backing and mor al aid which the Northern people have so stu diously withheld from us since the war. The most of us have been slaves and driven like beasts all our younger days; and the terror inspired by the white slave driver from our in fancy up has made us fear the white man and know and believe that we are not his equal in combat. The use of firearms was denied us until after the war, and we feel our inferiority in their use when confronted with the heavily armed, swaggering Democrats. Thus when the issue is reduced to one of armed hostility, as it has been during this Presidential canvass in Louisiana, our numerical strength counts for naught against the regularly organized, armed and drilled White League Democracy of the State. Their murders are more gentle manly and humane the other outrages (some of which must be nameless) which they have and are at this day inflicting upon our peo ple." The whipping of colored Republicans who know how to read and write has been carried to such an excess that the recital of these enormities would scarce be believed. Of the signers to this appeal two have been whipped for refusing to vote the Democratic ticket at the Presidential election.—One of these, strip. ped naked and whipped, is covered with welts and gashes from his head to his heels, and es caped from his fiendish tormentors through a United States military escort. The other was taken from his cabin the night before the Presi dential election, at midnight, and stripped, and whipped by a dozen or more white men, each tak ing turns as they became tired, sometimes three or four whipping at a time, until his finger nails and two fingers were whipped of He was then left fainting and alone upon the ground. Next morning the same Democratic "bull-dozers" marched him to the polls, the victim so stiff and sore that every movement of the body, in endeavoring to drag its slow length along, caused the most excruciating agony, and they compelled him to put. in the ballot box a Demo eralic 2ilden.ticket with the bleeding stumps of fingers their generous chivalry had yet left him. These outrages were not committed by insig nificant Democrats, but their leader is a prac ticing physician in the parish, and his assist- Jog bull-dozers arc souse of what they callthe first famili es. Thousands of colored people have been subjected to these outrages at every election I for attempting to exercise the right of freemen in 1 1 the State of Louisiana. It seems as ifthe Gov ernment and the people oftbe North had turn ed deaf ear upon us and forgotten its. We do not ask bread or. money. These we harp the muscle and industry to produce, but we do ask an assurance from the people of the North that some method shall be provided for our security in the exercise of our rights as Amer ican freemen ; ilsmnFt.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 20, 1876 Three large islands, namely Hattielt, Sun deep and Dakabir, Shahadazair, and numerous smaller islands including the Backergunge, Nookolly a❑d Chittagong, were entirely sub merged by the storm wire of October 31st, as was also the mainland for five or six miles. These islands are all in or near the estuary of the river Megua. The largest, Dakahir Sha hadazair, was 500 square miles in extent. It had a population of about 24,000 ; Hattlah and Sundeep together had about 100,000 pop ulation. up to 11 o'clock on the night of the 31st there were no signs of danger, but be fore midnight a wave swept over the country to the depth, in many places, of over twenty feet, suprising people in their beds. Dense groves of cocoanut and palm trees around the villages enabled many to save themselves, by climbing among the branches, and some took refuge on the roofs of their houses, but the water burst the hopes asun der, and swept them out tp sea. Some were carried thus across the channel, ten miles, to Chittagong district, but the vast majority were never heard of again. The country is perfectly flat, and almost every one perished who failed to reach trees. There is scarcely hoU&APId on the island and . on the adjacent coast but lust tunny members. The cattle are all drowned, boats are swept away, tool the means of communication with other distant districts destroyed. There is much distress among the survivors, which the Government is reikviif. The Government (inzettc says wherever the storm wave passed it is lielic7ec.' not a third of the population survived. 'The islands have barely one-fourth of their former inha4itani.E. The stench from putrifying bodies is ins4ffer able, and a general outbreak of cholera is ex pected. A correspondent says this fear is, happily, not yet realized, except in tilooltholly, where the disease has appeared, The Nola says the fears of a famine, which was. threatened in the districts of Madris, is somewhat better. Rain has come in time to do some good. In Bombay the prospects are still gloomy. Actual famine in 203 districts seems prcbable, and great distress iu four or five more. E. F.
