THOMAS GRAHAM, the accomplice of Benjamin Hunter in the Armstrong mur der, on Monday last was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment in the New Jersey State prison. THE New York Tribune thinks the chief 111 fort of the Democratic party in Congress, at the coming session, will be to "control its own month." But in the effort it will very soon "put its foot in it." PHILADZLPEILk is going to try to eclipse Chicago in the magnitude and warmth of her reception of Grant. That staid old Quaker village never does things by halves; she will beat Chicago if it is in the timber. Taa Chicago Inter-Ocean names Grant and Blaine for the Republican nominees in 1880, and says, "let us make it unan imous." We are agreed.

A FIRE broke out in the stables of the Eighth avenue horse railroad in New York city, on the morning of the 25th inst., and before the flames could be stayed one hundred horses were burned. The stables contained about eight hundred head of horses at the time of the discovery of the fire. Tux Huntzingers, father and son, ex bankers of Pottsville, who have been un dergoing a two years' imprisonment in the Berks county jail, were liberated on Sat urday evening, having received a commu tation pardon from Gov. Hoyt. The son is in the last stages of consumption and will soon die. IRELAND is all excitement over the ar rest of three of her citizens on the charge of having made incendiary speeches. The Irish Nationalists in this country are holding meetings in the principal cities at which resolution 3 are adopted and speeches m tide sympathizing with their downtrod den countrymen. THE day following the November elec tions the following card appeared in a prominent New York paper : "A cipher dictionary owned by a gentleman who no longer has any use for it may be bad at a sacrifice by applying at No. 15 Gramercy Park, New York City. Also, a situation is wanted for a nephew who is out of employ ment, and who can make himself useful at almost any kind of dirty work." TUE riot bribery eases set down for trial during the present sitting of the Dauphin county court have been quashed on ac count of irregularity in the grand jury . The law says that 25 grand jurors shall be sworn. In these cases 24 men were in the jury room during the deliberations of the jury, one of whom the defense proved was not sworn at all, but was an interloper. New bills will be sent to the grand jury and we presume the trials will come off in the near future. A CALL has been issued for a meeting of the Republican National Committee at the Arlington Hotel, Washington, on Wednesday, December 17. Action is to be taken in regard to the death of Senator Chandler, who represented Michigan on the committee, and the question of the time and place of holding the Republican National Convention next year is to be moldered The call is signed by all the members of the committee except those representing the States of Alabama, Ar kansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kentucky, Nevada, Now Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, and the Territories of Arizona, Idaho, Montana, sod Washington. '` , \I:SSiSzAPPI gone DEMOCRATIC.' When the result of the November elec tions was flashing over the wires, inform ing the people of Republican successes from every section, there was hut one lit tle bre•tk in the current, and that was, Editor. "Mississippi gone Datuocratic." But this surprise , ' no one conversant with the sit- uation in that State, where the hand that used to crack the whip of the slave-driver now holds the revolver and the shotgun, and where free elections are unknown. To show our readers how the State was car ried by the Democrats we give place to the following private letter, written from Ya zoo, the home of the red-handed murderer Barksdale, who shot clown, in cold blood, Capt. Dixon because he presumed to run as a candidate against the regular Demo cratic nominee for sheriff. Here. is the letter : YAZOO CITY, Miss., Nov. 7, 1879 Mr. Frank Dixon—FRIEND FRANK :—The elec tion is over, and I know you are anxious to hear how it passed off. I will not attempt to give you a full outline of everything, for it would take several days to write it. I will only state a few facts in regard to what oc cured on the day of election. It was under stood among the bull dozers that if the ne groes could not be induced to vote with them that they' would not let them vote at all. As soon as the polls were open at the Court House "Jim" Barksdale, "Tom" Williams, Wkadley Gibson, "Bob" Wheeless, Lambeth and about twenty others took a stand at the gate and voted them three at a time, which would have taken at least two days for them all to vote if they had been allowed at all. Every time a negro would come up to the gate they would demand him to show his ticket. If he showed an Independent ticket he was knocked down. Thus they went on until about 11 o'clock, when "Jake" Holder gave the signal and all drew their pistols and commenced firing into the air. The negnms all ran off, and of course there was no inc,; :e votill~, The same' game was played at Benton and Dover. When all the negroe. collected Lt the polls they commenced firing in the air. You liave lived long enough in the South to know that the negro can't stand that sort ofpunish meat. I don't think there were exceeding 500 negro votes cast in the county. At Silver Creek, where everything was solidly Inde pendent, they would not famish them with either box or registration book, so that vote was thrown out entirely. I don't suppose in the history of any country such fraud and villainy were ever before practised on a people. Taylor and about seventy deputies were ap pointed to keep peace and order at the polls, all of whom participated in the shooting.— Taylor fired four shots. It is amusing to see the negroes walk up the streets with their jaws tied up, and whenever they are asked what is the matter, they answer, "Oh, nothing. I tried to vote an Independent ticket at the Court House." As soon as I can see all the boys from the other precincts I will write the whole thing up and send it to you. It is getting late. I will now close. Your friend. "Mississippi gone Democratic." Could it do anything else under such a reign of terror ? Frauds and fighting at elections are not unknown at the North, but, in the language of the New York Tcitunr, it is only iu Southern communities, demoralized by the long curse of slavery, that the "up• per classes" have systematically banded themselves together to deprive their more ignorant and timid neighbors of political rights, and that such conspiracies are sus tained by public opinion and left unpun ished by the law. But it is not only the rights of the colored voters of Mississippi that are assailed by these outrages. The rights of the North are invaded, too.— When Senators and Representatives from Mississippi appear at the National Capital to make laws for the whole people, we all have a right to inquire by what title they assume that function. We are not to be governed by the fist and the pistol. The Constitution gives to every State, through its representatives in the Senate and the House, the right to inquire into the fair ness and legality of elections in other States, and Congress is empowered to "regulate" the manner of voting for Sena tors and Representatives. The bitter opposition of the Democratic party to every exercise of this important right is ostensibly founded upon a theory of con stitutional interpretation; but while practices such as have recently been brought to light in Mississippi prevail through that extensive region where the Democratic party holds almost undisputed sway, it will be impossible to make the Northern people listen to any such theories, or believe in the sincerity of those who maintain them. IN this week's issue of the Philadelphia Weekly Press will be commenced the publication of a border story entitled, "The Brady Brothers ; or, Bald Eagle's Nest." The story will be a Pennsylvania border historical serial, descriptive of the border life, customs and struggles of our Pennsylvania frontier during the Revolu tion. The time chosen will be that bloody and troubled period immediately succeed ing the massacre of Wyoming and "the great runaway" in 1778. The scenes wil be located on the West Branch of the Susquehanna. John Brady, his brave and stalwart sons, James and Samuel; Colonels Kelley and Plunkett, Queen Esther, Bald Eagle and other border cel ebrities of that stormy period will figure prominently. The theme was suggested by the late centennial celebration at Mun cy, Lycoming county, at which time a monument to Captain John Brady. the famous hero-patriot of the West Branch, was unveiled amid a wonderful concourse of people, gathered from far and near to do tardy honor to his memory. This se rial will be from the pen of Charles Mc- Knight, author of "Our Western Border," "Simon Girty, the White Savage," and "Captain Jack, the Scout," and it is hoped that each Press subscriber will an nounce the serial and the paper to his neighbors. Any person sending a club of ten subscribers will be entitled to a copy free fur one year. Send fur sample copy of the paper containing the first chapters of the story. After every Republican in the county has subscribed and paid for the JOURNAL for one year, we advise them to send and get the Press. Ouit down-the-road contemporary is mistaken when it says that the JOURNAL gave Dr. MeNite "Hail Columbia" be cause he voted for a Republican Director of the Poor. It was our ne;ghbor of the .Monitor who entertained the Doctor with the National air. The Doctor only show ed his good judgment in voting fur 'Squire Hafily, and in place of censuring him the JOURNAL accords him credit for his course, and hopes that he will repeat it when the time comes again. CONOaESS meets on Monday next, and the country is anxious to see the lino of policy to be pursued by the rebel bri. gadiers. 111.NRy P.

He was originally a Whig, then a Republican.— He was in the State Senate in 1861 and 1862, and in 1868 was elected Governor, and re elected in 1870. Ile has been an extensive traveler, and once enjoyed the honor of being captured by Admiral Semmes. A CONTRACT has been signed for the building of seven hundred and fifty miles of the Texas Pacific railroad, west from Fort Worth, at a cost of '520,000 per mile. The entire sum of the contract, for all purposes, is said to foot up the enormous sum of $15,000,000. Col. Tom Scott is at the head of the road, which is a slat cient guarantee that it will go ahead. THERE is a regular Kilkenny cat fight going on in the Honesdale German Luth• eran church, growing nut of crookedness on the part of Rev. Ilertzberger, its pas tor, who is charged with drunkenness and other acts unbecoming a minister. The congregation is about equally divided for and against his retention, and at a meet ing on Sunday last the lie was freely given. T:rE rinCS is again lighting fur five cent car fares in Philadelphia. A greater ha pisition waa rie:•er practiced than the Philadelphia street railway can are practising. We hope the Times will win in its fiAltt fur the people. Dangers of the Electoral Count. A TALK WITH' SENATOR. CARPENTER - WHAT BE THINKS THE DEMOCRATS IN • TEND-HIS SUPPORT OP GRANT. "I don't care to be quoted on the sub ject," said Senater Carpenter, of Wiscon sin, on Thursday to a Tribune reporter, after a talk on the dangers of the next electoral count, "because I have already said enough in the papers. You know my views. I believe that the Democrats mean to throw out the returns from one or more Republican States and declare their can didate elected. They will find a pretext for this course or make one. Unfortunately there are precedents enough for assuming the right of one House or both Houses to prevent the counting of a return by a ma jority vote. You ask what would be the result. If they should find some pretext of a plausible character, on which there might fairly be a difference of honest judg ment, we should have to acquiesce; if their action should be grossly unjust and a manifest defiance of the will of the peo ple expressed at the election, there would be a fight. Civil war would inevitably ensue. The whole danger comes from our bad system of electing a President. This is the only free country where the people are not allowed to choose their chief mag istrate." '•Will any further efforts be wade this winter to pass a law regulating the elec toral count ?" "Yes, but they will be fruitless. The Democrats will allow no law of the kind to pass. We shall put them on record as op posing the adoption of fair non-partisan legislation governing the count, but that is all we can. do." "By so doing you will tangle up some Democratic Senators with their old records. A number of them made speeches three years ago against the present system of dealing with the returns, and in favor of some net' legislation.". "Yes, and we shall get the question plainly before the country in the next campaign." Senator Carpenter was coked what he expected in the way of general legislation from the approaching session of Congress. Ile replied : "Nothing of any %alit° to the country. The session will be an angry and noisy one—a continual row without any profit." "Will the Democrats venture to revive the issues of last session ?" "You would say not from the way they have been beaten on them at the fall elec. tions, but you can never tell what folly they will commit. They carded this year's elections for us by their performances last session, and they will probably do some thing this winter to help us nest year." Senator Carpenter is a strong Grant man. He believes Grant will be nominated and elected. "I have been in favor of his nomination in 1880 ever since he went out of office in 1877," he said. •Who is your seeand choice ?'' ho was asked. "I have none. li' Grant will not run I shall be in favor of the man who has the best chance of carrying New York." 'Do you feel certain that Grant can carry New York ?" "I have not the least doubt of iL" "Do you take any stock in the reported present boom in the South ?" "There may be something in it. If the Southern people are convinced that a Re publican is going to be elected President next year in any event, they will prefer Grant to anybody else. They are a mili tary people by nature, and they prefer a military man to a civilian. Then they re spect Grant because, while lie was firm in euforeing the laws, he always treated them justly. I do not think, however, that theie will be a division in the South next year ; still we cannot tell what a few months will bring forth in polities." A Visage Rivalling in Yellowness That of a •'heathen Chinee," if belonging to one of our race, can scarcely be described as attractive. But worse than this, it is the in dex of a disordered liver, of a liver that needs arou.sing and regulating. The remedy is at hand, prompt, efficacious. A course of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters will expel the mis directed bi , le from the blood and divert it into the proper channel, open the bowels, remove the dyspeptic symptoms which invariably ac company biliousness and counteracts the rap idly developing tendency to dangerous con gestion of the liver, which must always exist when the skin and whites of the eyes assume this yellow hue. The pains through the right lower ribs, side and shoulder blade, the nausea, furred state of the tongue, and unpleasant - breath which indicate liver complaint, in short all its disagreeable concomitants are soon remedied by this sovereign corrective, which in addition to its regulating properties is a superb invigorant, and a pure and agree able medicinal stimulant, appetizer and ner. vice.

Address LUTHER TUCKER & SONS, Publishers, ALBANY, N. Y. The World for 1880. Democrats everywhere should in torm themselves carefully alike of the action of their party through out the country and of the movements of their Republican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss ny the Dem ocracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year 1880 promises to be one of the most interesting and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a Presi dential election which may result in re-establish ing the Government of this country on the prin- ciples of its constitutional founuers, or in perma nantly changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. THE WORLD is the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which uphotds the doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will steadily repre sent the Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partnership ; but temperately and firmly. As a newspaper THE WORLD, being the organ of no man, no clique and no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can make of each day's passing history in the city, the State, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shalt ever be permitted truly to complain that he has been unjustly dealt with in the columns of THE WORLD. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can silence the fair criticism of Taz WORLD. During the past year THE WORLD has seen its daily circulation trebled and its weekly circula tion pushed far beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This great increase has been won, as Tue WORLD believes, by truth fulness, enterprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day. It is our hope and it will be our endeavor that THE WORLD'S record for 1880 may be written in the approbation and the support of many thous ands more of new readers in all parts of this In dissoluble Union of Indestructible States.

ESTABLISHED 1851 The political course of THE NEW-YORK TIMES will be guided during the Presidential year by the same principles which have won for it the position of the foremost Republican newspaper in the United States. The successful issue of the recent contest in New York, and the unbroken series of Republican victories in other Northern States which preceded and accompanied it, have combined to demonstrate the soundness of the position of THE TIMES in regard to the questions with which the Republican party is called upon to deal. THE TIMES will continue to place fidelity to the interests of the Republican party above the pur suit of personal aims or private ambition, and will steadfastly insist that the usefulness of any party must be measured by the extent of its devo tion to the honor and welfare of the country. In the future, as in the past, the attitude of THE TIMES wi ll be that of independence within the Re publican party. The maintenance of the national credit; the purification of the public service; the advocacy of all seasonable projects of fisca re form; rigid economy in public expenditures; op position to subsidies and corporate jobbery in all its forms; and the preservation of equal rights to all citizens North and South, will be the salient points of the policy of THE TIMES. Tau Timms will continue to be distinguished as an enterprising, accurate, and carefully-edited newspaper. The acknowledged excellence and fullness of its correspondence by mail and tele graph, from all parts of the world, will be ade quately maintained, and its facilities for collecting doine.tio and foreign sews will be expanded to meet the increasing demands of our time. In the sphere of literary and actistio criticism, social, and gentral discussion, THE Times will address itself, as heretofore, to the appreciation of the educated and intelligent classes of the American people. It will be lively without being sensational, aggresive without being coarse; at all times it will strive to be feartese and independent in the championship of the right. No theories sub versive of the principles on which the sacredness of family tics and the ex:stence of society alike repose will be promulgated in Us columns. THE TIMES rejects all advertisements of lotter ies, of quacks and medical pretenders, and of all other agencies by which the insidious poison of vice is disseminated throughout society. It will be in the future, as in the past, a newspaper espe cially adapted for family reading. THE SEMI-WEEKLY TIMES is specially fitted to meet the requirements of those who seek more ample details of current news and fuller install ments of current discussion than are furnished in the weekly issue. THE SEMI-WEEKLY has a large circulation abroad and among the professional and mercantile classes, outside of the large cities, at home. At the reduced club rates now offered for this edition its popularity ought to be greatly increased. _ _ Ilia WEEKLY Mies, containing selected edi torials on topics of national and general interest from the columns of the daily issue, as well as a concise summary of political, social, and foreign news,besides other features which recommend it to all classes of readers, is a paper admirably fitted to circulate in every portion of the United States.
