All peisoos knowing themselves indebted to this office for subscription, advertising or job work, for over one year's standing, are ex pected to call and pay up at once. These ac counts MUST be settled without further delay.— We have shown great leniency to those owing us, but our business interests now require us to demand payment, and if this request is not complied with we will be compelled to add costs, something which we are averse to doing if it can be avoided. We have bills against several townships and boroughs, for advertising their school and supervisors' accounts, which should have been paid long ago, and which must now be paid. All accounts remaining unpaid after the coming Court will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection. tf. THE Republicans gain a congressman in Florida, Bisbee beating Hull some 850 votes. WE don't propose to prostitute the col umns of the JOURNAL by replying to every illegitimate puppy who barks at our heels. THE Monitor lets drive a left-bander at Dr. W. P. M'Nite, of Shirleysburg, but it has not the manliness to boldly attack him. The Doctor still lives. THE importance of one vote was clearly demonstrated in Bedford county at the re- cent election, the Republican County Com missioner having been chosen by one of a majority. SAMUEL R. MASON, late Greenback candidate for Governor, to follow in the wake of the party he trained with, has gone into bankruptcy with liabilities amOipcipg to $25,000. THE Republican party of Huntingdon county demonstrated its vitality and grow ing strength by electing a portion of its county ticket by majorities ranging from about four hundred to a thousand. Tns greenback leaders boasted two months ago that they had more than fif teen hundred voters enrolled in Hunting don county. But their candidate for Gov ernor, Mr. Mason, received but little more than one third the number of votes that had been claimed for him, and Republi cans elect their candidates for the most important county offices. Respectable greenbackera repudiated the Speer North coalition. A FIRE broke out in Cape May, N. J., at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, and be fore it could be stayed 40 acres of the city were in ruins. All of the great hotels, ex cept two, the Stockton and the Arctic, to gether with many of the handsomest and finest eottages were destroyed. The loss is estimated at about one-half million of dol lars. The fire originated in the Ocean House, and was, beyond doubt, the work of an incendiary, as the hotel has been un tenanted for six weeks Somz of the Democratic papers intimate that Gov. Cartin will contest the election of Seth Y.'Yocum in the Centre District. The Democrats have the majority in Con gress, sod after the treatment of Belford, of Colorado, who was unseated, with a majority of 2,000 in his favor, we are pre pared not to be astonished at any rascality the coming Congress may be guilty of.— The next thing we hear will be that the "Persuader" is going to contest the seat of Mr. Fisher. THE remains of A. T. Stewart, the dead millionaire, were stolen from the family vault, in St. Mark's burying ground, in New York city, on Wednesday night of last week. The vault was broken open, the casket smashed and the remains carried off. Mr. Stewart has been dead for two years. Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton offer a reward of $25,000 for the recovery of the remains and evidence that will lead to the conviction of the ghouls who de spoiled the grave. THIS was the year in which the green backers were to elect the Governor of Pennsylvania and show their ability to sweep the country at the next Presidential election. As far as Huntingdon county is concerned the prospects are not very prom ising. With a diminished vote for their State ticket and the defeat of the most im portant candidates on their county ticket, although they had the support of the Democratic party for the latter, they will hardly boast again of getting this county under their control. In 1880 the green back party will not be in existence. AN election board in one of the town ships in Armstrong county have been ar• rested and lodged in jail for crookedness in making up the final count. We are in formed, by a gentleman who spent the greeter part of election day at a certain district in this county, that all the mem bers of the election board were so drunk that they were unable to get through counting the vote until six o'clock the next morning, and the figures reported from that district indicate crookedness s )mewhere, either in voting or counting• We are of the opinion" that ',it would be well enough to look after the matter. BENJAMIN HUNTER, who murdered John M. Armstrong in the streets of Cam den, on the evening of January 23, 1878, and for which crime he was convicted in thaltas Jersey courts in July last, was on Friday last sentenced to be executed on Friday, January 10, 1879. This case excited great interest at the time, and is no-doubt fresh in the minds of most of our readers. Hunter had procured life in surance policies to the amount of $26,000 on Armstrong's life, and it was for the purpose of securing this money that he murdered his friend and former business partner. Thomas Graham, his tool and accomplice in the bloody deed, confessed the crime and brought about Hunter's ar rot and conviction. Unless the Court of Appeals or the Court of Pardons interfere his case, he will expiate his crime in the gallows at the time stated. ' CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. The Methods of Procedure in Case there is no Election by the People. Editor. A Washington correspondent says that considerable interest is manifested in the numerical strength and political complex ion of the State delegations in the next House of Representatives, for the reason that that body, in the event of a failure to elect the next President on the part of the people, will be required to choose that officer. While it is barely possible that the next House will be called upon to choose the President, such a contingency is highly improbable, as the results of the late elections show pretty clearly that there will be only two parties to the Presi dential contest of 1880, and that the can didate of one of them will most assuredly be elected by the people. At one time it was feared that the Greenback element would become strong enough to put a Presidential candidate in the field, and that such candidate would receive a suffi cient number cf Electoral votes to prevent an election by the people, and thus throw the final settlement of the contest into the House of Representatives. The election just held, however, has dissipated this fear and removed all serious danger of compli cations from a third party. It is now apparent that there will be but two parties in the national contest of 1880, and it is even more apparent that one of those two will be the Republican party. It is proba ble that the other will be the Democratic party, although, in view of the visible signs of disintegration in that organization that should be treated as a presumption rather than accepted as a fact. With the contest confined to two parties, the candi date.of one must receive a majority of the Electoral votes, and be duly declared the President. This is the view of the next Presidential campaign taken by prominent public men who have given it thoughtful consideration in the light of the recent elections. It is admitted, however, that there was a general feeling among the political lead ers on both sides that the settlement of the next Presidential contest by the House of Representatives was by no means improba ble, and to some extent this contingency was given full weight, if it was not made one of the issues, of the contest for Repre sentatives in the Forty-sixth Congress. With a solid South to begin with, and with considerable gains made in October to encourage them, the Democrats were con fident that they would emerge from the November contest with large additions to their present numerical strength, and with a clear majority of States on a unit ballot. In neither case have their expectations been realized. Their majority in the Forty-sixth Congress has been reduced, and should the election be thrown into the House, they could not command the con stitutional majority necessary to au election. The votes of twenty States, in such an emergency, are required to oleet the Presi dent, and they can count but eighteen, including Indiana. The States whose unit vote the Democrats would receive are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississppi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. The States controlled by the Republicans are : Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wisconsin. In order to secure a majority the Demo crats must get the votes of Florida and California. The former has already elect ed one Republican and one Democratic member, which makes it a tie, while Cali fornia, whose delegation is now evenly divided between the two parties, will not elect members to the next Congress until September, and Republicans are confident that they will elect three of the four mem bers from that State. While it is thus sh own that the Demo crats have failed to secure a majority of States in the Forty-sixth Congress, it is likely they will create a majority by forci bly reversing the expressed will of the people in Florida and California, unseating Republican members, and voting their s eats to Democrats. Indeed, it is already intimated in Democratic circles that in order to be prepared for any emergency, this course will be pursued. An important feature of the result of the November elections in connection with the next Presidential contest is the fact that the States named above as having been carried by the Republicans have 185 votes in the Electoral College. It is reasona bly certain that in a Presidential contest all those States will declare for the Repub lican candidate, and if California be added 191 Electoral votes would be secured. It is a singular coincidence that the States carried by the Republicans in 1878 cast the same number of Electoral votes as were given to President Hayes in 1876. CONGRESS-OFFICIAL. The return judges for the Eighteenth Congressional District met at Chambers burg, on Tuesday last, and certified to the election of Hon. H. G. Fisher by a ma jority of 207. The following is the vote in the several counties composing the dis trict : Fisher. Stenger, Daugherty Fulton Franklin 4632 4806 2 Huntingdon 3378 2663 432 Juniata 1483 1855 99 Perry 2736 2633 85 Snyder lB5O 1484 136 14878 14671 754 14671 Fisher's rnaj THE election board in the First Ward of Tyrcne, Blair county, according to the oath of James A. Livingston, of that place, didn't "play the game fair" on the day of the election. Mr. Livingston makes affidavit that he voted a full Greenback State ticket, but on counting the votes in that ward the board failed to give Mr. Mason the vote alleged to have been cast for him. The Board was made up of three Democfats and two Republicans, but the Republicans were absent at [supper at the time ?Ir. Livingeton deposited his ballot. TIIE QUESTION SETTLFD.—When the governments bonds were issued, in the darkest days of the rebellion, each loyal citizen who had money at command, in vested it as proof of his patriotism. At that hour, assailed by the rebel clement, domestic conspirators and foes from abroad, the question as to the preservation of the government, hung, as it were, in the scale. It was a poor return for those who went to the front in battle, or lent their savings at home in the cause, on the then doubtful issue of the conflict, to he stigmatized us dishonest, or as seeking to obtain more than their just dues, by the simple interest given on their loans. The bondholders in the rebellion went hand in hand with the armies of the Union, furnishing the sinews of war. It is neither to the interest, or consonant with the principles of the nation, that she should just now repudiate her obligations, simply from the fact that a rash, inconsiderate and ignorant faction demanded it. The reply of the people of the North is manifested in its voting. It is a scathing rebuke to the Greenback idea, as it repudiates in totality nine.tenths of the candidates nominated by its con ventions and under its platform of repudia tion. It most effectually settles the clamor for irresponsible money for the next decade of years, at least.—Delaware County Re publican. PENNSYLVANIA-OFFICIAL.

Potter himself was afraid to take the bull by the horns, and declined a nomination. Stenger, who was Potter's lieutenant, our own \V. S., persuaded his party to nominate him, but the people of this district came to the con clusion that his services could be dispensed with in the councils of the nation without any injury to the country, and they per mitted him to remain in Chambersburg and attend to his law business. "One by one the roses fade." THE Monitor still persists in asserting that we "abused" Messrs. Doyle and Foust '•during the whole of the recent campaign." Now that the election is over that paper should make an effort to tell the truth.— We contend that we did not "abuse" these gentlemen at any time during the hotly con tested canvass through which we have just passed, and what the Monitor expects to gain by asserting that which the files of our paper will prove incorrect, we are at a loss to know. THE Greenback party in this county is on the decline. Last year, without the aid of an "organ" it polled 749 votes for Bently, for .Supreme Judge, while this year, with an "organ," and after having held meetings in almost every district in the county, it could only muster 639 votes fur Mason, fur Governor, a falling off of one hundred and ten. The people of Hun tingdon county don't take much stock in "fiat" money, repudiation and communism. MILTON S. LYTLX, ESQ , who, during the campaign just closed, has been Col. Quay's right-hand man, leaves this city for his home in Huntingdon to day. Mr. Lytle has done excellent service, both in the office and on the stump, and has won hosts of friends in Philadelphia, who wish him all SUCCC39 in life.—Phila. Press, Nov. 8 THE return judges of the Eleventh Congressional district met at Mauch Chunk on Tuesday last, and three of them, rep resenting Carbon, Luzerne and Lackawana Counties, made a return certifying to Gen. Albright's election by 61 plurality, and those from Pike, Montour, Monroe and Columbia certified to Col. Klotz's election by 95 plurality. THE Monitor should be the last paper iu the world to talk of "abuse" of candi dates after the amount of slander, vituper ation and billingsgate it weekly published against Messrs. Williamson and Orlady. It stopped at nothing to defame the character of these gentlemen, but the people of the county rebuked its vile attacks by electing b oth of them by handsome majorities. THE Harrisburg Patriot of Tuesday, comes to the defence of Chairman Speer, and in its labored article attempts to vin dicate that gentleman against the numerous charges of bad generalship in the conduct of the campaign. Settle the matter as you please, gentlemen. It's none of our funeral. THE election board in Carbon township, this county, at the late election, was in tensely Democratic. We are informed by a gentleman who was present that they would not permit a Republican to act as clerk. It was to be, and it was, composed entirely of Democrats. The returns are mixed. THE libel suit brought by Hon. H. M. Spur against brother Tyhurst of the Globe, has been continued until January next. The Grand Jury found a true bill, May he have a safe deliverance. Oua old friend, John Dougherty, esq. was treated rather shabbily by the Green backers who cast their votes for Stenger. Two hundred and seven of them in this county did sp. IN summing up the result of the recent election in this State, the Philadelphia Bulletin remarks : "One of the most important features of the election news is the complete collapse which it discloses of the Greenback movement. For a party which has made so much noise and occupied so much of the public attention, to come out of a contest like that which has just closed with the election of only twelve repre sentatives out of two hundred and ninety three is nearly astonishing. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph remarks : "Communism, socialism, Kearneyism, wild cat financiering and so forth, were on Tuesday sent to keep company with secession, disunion and rebellion ; and there is no good reason why they should again in this day and genera tion come before the American people as liv ing issues and sources of danger." RUMOR has it that ex-Governor Samuel J. Tilden will be married within two months to a St. Louis belle. We wonder if lie conducts his correspondence in cipner? THE spacious hotel at Minnequa Springs was destroyed by fire on Monday. The fire is supposed to have been the fiendish work of an incendiary. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. Complete List of the Members Elect.

Governor Hartranft has iss , led the following proclamation : During the past year the people of the United States have been patient in distress, steadfast to time-honored institutions, and hopeful of the final destiny of their country. Their patience has been the security of society, their faith has saved for posterity an unim paired heritage and their charity has met pestilence with active sympathy and quiet self sacrifice. Now, therefore J, John F. flartranft, Gov ernor of Pennsylvania, do appoint Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of November, 1878, being the same day set apart by the President of the United States, as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, that the citizens of this common wealth may give thanks to Almighty God not only for peace and reviving prosperity, but for the faith, hope and charity which His spirit has kindled in their hearts. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at Harrisburg, this ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight, and of the commonwealth the one hundred and third.

Irregu larities and obstructions of your system are relieved at once, while the special cause of periodical pain are permanently removed. Will you heed this ? See "Truths." n0v.15-2t. New To-Day.
