THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
• acecijjirun-icriiiiitj fCCtf lllruu
ical changes in the election laws. The
Legislature, at,its last session, passed an
act entitled “An act further supplemen
tal to the act relative to the elections
in this Commonwealth,” and approved
by the Governor,on the 17th day of
April last. The fifteenth section of
this act abolishes all .'spring elections
and requires all emotions hereafter to
he held on the second Tuesday of Octo
ber. That no misapprehension may ex
ist we.here give said section in full, as
follows:
“Section IS. All elections for city,
ward, borough, township and election
officers shall hereafter be bed on ihe
second Tuesday of October, sill feet to all
the, provisions of the laws regulating the
election of such officers not inconsistent
with this net; the persons elected to such
offices at that time shall take theirplaces
at the expiration of the terms of the per
sona holding, the same at the time of such
election ; hat no election lor the office of
assessor nr assistant assessor shall be
held under this act, until the year one
thousand eight hundred and seventy,”
Hence, it is the plain duty of tho
people at the next October. election , to
elect all the city, ward, borough, town
ship, and election officers (except asses
sors), which would have been chosen at
the spring election, of 1870. had the said
act 17th April, 1809, not been passed.
We regard this as a matter of great
public importance, and take this method
of inviting public attention to it, hoping
our cotemporaries will aid in dissem
inating all needful information on the
subject.'
Fob many -years the Republicans of
Lancaster county have been ruled by a
self-constituted ring; in other words,
by unprlnoipeld political gamblers. No
man outside the ring, could receive a
nomination for any position, no matter
what his merits or popularity. At iast
the solid men of the party rose in their
might, and demanded the Crawford
County system of nominating. They
not only demanded, but adopted It, by
an overwhelming majority. -Under this
system, Jast week, tho Republicans of
Lancaster made their nominations, and
a complete demolition of the ring was
the result. Men of bettor character and
integrity are taken up for members of
Assembly and other positions, and the
wily corruptionists who have been in
the habit of ruling the roast and divi
ding the offices, are permitted to take
back 'seats in tho political synagogue.
The ringmasters of course feel sore, but
the honest men of the party rejoice to
knoty that under the present system of
nominating they have an opportunity
to have a say in the matter. One thing
is certain—the Crawford County system
of nominating is death to corruptionists,
who fear the popular judgment, but to
the real men of either party it is ac
ceptable ns the best and most honest
mode of obtaining the people’s wishes. I

It is n pleasing task to do justico to
tlio character of a great and good man.
It is right that every Jack JTnlstaff
should have hia Shakspearo, every
Hudibras his Butler, and every Don
Quixote iffs Cervantes. In all human
probability the public career of his Ex
cellency, Major-General John Welling
ton Geary, is about to draw to a close,
and it is fitting that the hand of impar
tial history should gather into some
convenient shape the records of a career
and the individual traits of a character,
which, in the opinion of the Governor
of Pennsylvania, resemble closely the
career and character of “ the father of
his country.” We have it on the au
thority of our hero himself, .that like
the immortal Washington, lie never
told lies in his youth; whether, like
him also, he owned a little hatchet and
barked his father’s apple trees, has not k
been definitely ascertained. True, his
friend McClure has said that lie could
not assure General Grant that Governor
Geary would certainly recommend An
drew Q. Curtin for a Cabinet appoint
ment, for “he had nothing more than
Geary's ivordfor it;" but then McClure
was envious of Geary’s popularity, and
wanted to make the people believe that
Geary was as unreliable as himself. It
is true also that a number of prominent
.Republicans of this community have
publicly denounced the Governor as
“an infamous liar,” upon whose word
no reliance could be placed; but wo are
forced to believe that there must still
remain a great deal of truth in bis char
acter, because so little of his native force
in this respect has been expended.—
“ Truth lies at the bottom of a well,”
and it ought to be found there unless
the well has been pumped dry. Under
the law of demand and supply, we have
aright to infer that there must bo a
great deal of truth in a man, when so
little has come out of him.
One of the earliest and brightest chap-
1869.
ters in the biography of John W. Geary
is that in which he appears as a bucolic
general of Pennsylvania militia. It was
the happiest period of his life. Arrayed
in gorgeous apparel and flaunting feath
ers, with guilded epaulettes upon his
shoulders, a, stunning chapeau upon
his head and a flashing sword In bis
hand—mounted on a gaily caparisoned
steed—he led the honest yeomanry of
western Pennsylvania,armed with corn
stalks and broomsticks, to bloodless
vintorv on the hills of,,Westmoreland.
Brave men cheered and fair women
smiled approval as he rode by in tri
umph. The cup of his glory was full.
His great heart swelled with love for—
himself.
John W. Geary was next brought in
to public notice in-connection with the
Mexican war, having been elected lieu-
tenant-colonel of the Second Pennsyl
vania regiment. During his term of
service he seems to have covered, him
self all over with glory, and to have
completely won tho confidence and af
fection of his regiment, as will be seen
by the following resolutions—alike for-
cible, affectionate and complimentary—
passed by his old command, on their
return to the States, at a public meeting
held at Conuellsville, on Saturday, Ju
ly 13th, 1848. The resolutions, signed
by the officers of the meeting, were ofi
ficially published at the time, and hero

In ISSG John W. Geary was appointed
Governor of tho territory of Kansas,
which position he resigned in about six
months, in consequence of an unpleas
ant diversity of opinion between Presi-
dent Pierce and hunselt in regard to
his competence to discharge the duties
of the office. His first official act was
sending a message to -the territorial
legislature, which, strange to . relate,
boro a marked resemblance lo tho in
augural address of Governor Gardner
of Massachusetts, delivered about two
years before. Those who delight to
trace the similarity in the thoughts and
modes of expiession of great men will
find a rich field of
these two documenl

their requirements.
Our iato civil war opened up a wide
field for that military genius whieli had
■been nurtured at the militia trainings
of Westmoreland' county, and ,only
waited an opportunity .to develop into
greatness. The first heroic act of Colo
nel Geary was tho capture of the old
cannon at Harper’s Ferry. This can
non had been stuck in the sidewalk,
and used fbf forty years as a receptacle
for cigar stumps and other refuse. Up
on the approach of Geary, some of the
7‘jbnny Robs” exhumed tho, venerable
spittoon and mounted it on a log. It
was thus converted into that most dan
gerous of all weapons, a “ Quaker gun.”
Our hero, in his peaceable entrance in
to the place, took possession of it as a
trophy, and telegraphed to the mayor
of Philadelphia {hat ho would’ present
it to the city. His dispatch was in these
words: , " :
“7b the Mayor of Philadelphia: I havofust routed

tholr catmon to fall into my possession which I
'will present to tho City of Philadelphia Onn

When General Geary was oh the
stump, three years ago, ho was fond of
relating-to his friends the following
thrilling narative, which illustrates »t
once the dread in which he was held by
tho rebel horde, and the inspiration of
his presence amongst tho federal sol
diers: ‘‘ Btonewall Jackson, while lying
upoh his i.mprovised oot, suffering from
wounds of which ho was conscious he
must soon die, sent for General, Long
street toconae to him at he ha,d
something important to Say to him.—
The General shortly appeared, and the
dying hero, almost in the agonies of
death, raised himself upon hia elbow,
and with a voice of deathly earnestness,
thus addressed the South Carolina Gen-
eral : ‘ General Longstreet, did you ob
serve that tall, imposing form to-day,
seated on a black-horse, in the thickest
of the light-, dealing death around him,
as We did battle?’ Quoth Longstreet,
‘ I did, indeed, my dear General.’ ‘ That
man so valiant was General Geary,’ ex
claimed Stonewall, ‘ Mark mo, beware
of him,, Longstreet, avoid him ! beware
of his troops I Meet him not when you
can shun him, for he is irresistible” !
Longstreet rose to depart; and as ho
reached the door, Stonewall Jackson
called to him again, ‘Longstreet be
ware of Geary 1’ and fell back dead up
on his couch.” With this dying injunc
tion to his comrade, the hero of the
Shenandoah expired;, and to-day his
warning voice is ringing out to the peo
ple of !Pennsylvania— 1 " Beware of
Geary." ■
Asa financier it may be justly claimed
that Governor Geary stands without a
peer in the State of Pennsylvania, un
less it be by the old lady who bought
her eggs for fourteen cents and sold
them for twelve. She said it was only,
the large business she did that enabled
her to stand it. The chief fiscal meas
ure of his administration has been-to
call in a loan of $23,000,000, bearing in
terest at the rate of five p6r cent, per
annum,' subject to tax, and issue in its
place a six per cent, loan exempt from
tax—thereby increasing the total inter
est paid by the State from $1,802,105
in 1866, to $2,257,000 in 1867. The. total
additional expenditure, under this loan,
during the administration of Governor
Geary, will exceed half a million of
dollars. Now, if it be true that “ a na
tional debt is a national blessing,” John
W. Geary must bo regarded as one of
Our greatest public benefactors. In
point of economy, too, his administra
tion has been a complete success.' To
establish this fact, it is only necessary
to tompare last year’s expenditure of
the public money with the expenses of
the State government during the last
year of Governor W. F. Packer’s ad
ministration. ' The following figures

This was during war times. . For the
the three years since the war, under the
administration of Governor Geary, the
expenses of the State government have
been, for 1807, $803,878; for 1868, $845,-

penditure of public money for the
present- year, will reach $1,000,000.
This rigid economy has been attained
through the admirable executive ability
and inflexible honesty of Governor
Geary, yvith the assistance of an associ
ation of patriotic gentlemen known ns
the 11 roosters” and “pinchers,” who
hold their annual sessions in a place
called the. Harrisburg lobby. It Was
to provide a reasonable compensation
for the valuable services of these Incor
ruptible gentlemen that one hundred
and twenty fat positions were created
in the two Houses—nearly one attend
ant to each Senator and member —at a
cost of $118,363. It is true that men
. are appointed as “ messengers,”-“ past

and then only to draw their pay.. Mr.

show that only $20,917,567 of the old

ond “ pinchers” three millions of the
people’s money—belongs entirely to
the Legislature. But as the champion
ofthe Governor, weaver that not one
of those laudable measures could be
come n law until John W. Geary ap
proved the bill. To him alone belongs
the credit of increasing pur “national
blessing" at the rate of $1,000,000 a
year.
A certain Judge Gamble, of the Ly
coming district, had the audacity, to
decide a case submitted to him, accord
ing to well-established; principled-of
law. In doing this hei ’.trampeil Upon
the corns of n certain Peter Herdic.—
Now the name of Peter Herdic is the
very synonym for honesty ; and with
$17,000 in his pocket, Peter went to
Harrisburg to have the Judicial district
abolished and Judge Gamble' unseated.
As every lawyer knows, this' was per
fectly legitimate- and constitutional;
and nothing could be more conducive
to public justice than to throw every
judge out of office who dares to be im
partial and. fearless in the discharge of
his duties; So Peter Herdic thought,
and so Governor Geary thought. Her
dlc’s $17,000 soon securod enough votes
to pass the bill through both Houses of
the Legislature, and- the righteous In
dignation which swelled in the Govern
or’s bosom against- the unjust judge,
prompted him to sit up until after mid
night'awaiting the passage of the bill.—
He did not receive the bill until morn
ing, however, when he signed itimme
diately, before it was possible, for his
Attorney General, who wna-arSSent, to
return and give his opinion upon Its
constitutionality. Surely a Governor
who has the moral courage thus to sot
at defiance the laws and constitution of
the Commonwealth, and thus to outrage
public sentiment, to faring the wicked
to punishment, 'ought to receive the
vote of every Peter Herdic—that is ev
ery honest man—in the State.
As a public speaker Governor Geary
has exceeded the most sanguine expec-'
tatlons of his friends. His public efforts
display alike the force and brilliancy of
his and the innate modesty of
his characler. Shortly after his last
election—the last, let us hope, in a dou

friends for the honor they had done

building was opened-with imposing
ceremonies in Bloomsburg. - Governor
Geary was present and spoke'as follows:

public debt of Pennsylvania, as well
as all other debts of the Commonwealth,

If Henry W. W illiams is fastened
on the bench of the Supreme Court, he
will shape the law in "harmony with
the political opinions of a majority of
the people,” and decide as a politician,
not as a lawyer. The Radical platform
of 1867 binds him to this course of tCc
tiod, and the people must, repudiate
alike; the principle and its chosen
champion and exponent.

“Ho holds a very inferior position
even as n lawyer, being noted for his
unscrupulousness, and tho reckless au
dacity of his assertions. There is not, a
more uncompromising partisan dema
gogue in Pennsylvania than Pershing,
and although many persons are apt to
bo deceived by . a tricky way he has of
talking in private conversation, which
savors of extreme candor and complai
sance, he is never troubled by the least
qualms of conscience in going to any
length required by his party.”

malignant attack.
The man who could basely desert the
wife of his bosom when she became so
unfortunate as to be temporarily de
prived of reason, in order to marry
another; is not above the commission of
a worse crime than slandering the man
who stood in the way of the consumma
tion of the iniquity.
REPUBLICAN “ECONOMY.”
The immortal Ilyus, of Lancaster,
who. drew $712 salary as paster and
folder, without even creasing a pstoer
or touching abrush, has madeanaffida
vit that he did receive the said sum
without rendering any service for : the
same! The Pittsburg Commercial, a
radical journal of much prominence in
the western part of the State; alludes to
the affidavit of Ilyus as follows: ,
“Ilyus says he was off and. on at
Harrisburg for a few days each week
for five weeks, when he became disgust
ed and went home. He did not return
until near the close of the session. Re
ceving a telegram dated April 13, 1868,
(within a day or two of adjournment)
from Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Ilyus. went
to the State capital, when the former
told, him. he.could get his warrant by
calling at the Clerk’s.desk, “when,” to
use the words of Ilyus, “one of the
clerks filled out my papers, and the
Chief Clerk and Speaker signed them :
I then proceeded to the Treasurer's office
and drew $712 os pay and milage for
paster and folder." ■
Here is an open confession, sworn to
before an alderman of Lancaster, that
a paster and f ildor drew from the State
Treasury $712 without performing ser
vice or giving equivalent therefor.
Ilyus.was only one of ixoentg-seiien who
received $712 for doing nothing!
Geary Dancing among tho Graves at
Gettysburg.
While Grant and his Cabinet are
dancing away their time at balls and
parties all over the country, instead of
attending to the interests of the country
at Washington, the people have become'
so accustomed to, and disgusted with it,
that they scarcely eare te talk about it.
J3ut Governor-Oea y cannot! the " l! ——
last week, ny dancing among the graves
of Gettysburg, and, with a pack of
roystering b’lioys, danced around the
foot of a tree at which poor Reynolds
breathed his last. This dance of death
among the graves of'our fallen soldiers,
should startle the" Christian and moral
public. The band for the hall was pro
cured from Harrisburg, and Gov. John
W. Geary acted as master of ceremon
ies. Is it not enough to bring the blush
of shame to the cheek of every Ameri
can—dancing and a brass band among
the. tombstones of Gettysburg, the
scenes of the greatest woes of the land ?
The ball took place on Wednesday even
ing of week before last. Those who doubt
what is here stated need only read the
city papers of Thursday and Friday of
that week. Those who condemn such a
desecration cannotvote for its master of
ceremonies for re-election ,as Governor
of Pennsylvania.
Hinton B. Helper, of North Caro
lina, author of “The Impending Crisis
of the South,” has written a pamphlet
in which ho urges the organization by
the workingmen of the country of a
new party. He argues that—
"It is alarmingly apparent -that al
most all financial and political newer
m this country is now being rapidly
and surroptitiously concentrated into
the hands of a very small number of
our people, and this baneful course of
events, if not speedily checked, will
inevitably give irresponsible and inex
orable mastership to the few and entail
galling vassalage on the many. Very
soon, indeed, must we have n voluhr
tary change for the better in the ad
ministration of all our public affairs
or else in less than ten years from to
day seven-eights of our people will have
uillon victims to ix worso tynmnv than
D'.at which has recently driven ind is
still driving millions of good men from
the monarchical and military despo
tisms of the Old World.”
Tiieke will be four separate tickets
or slips to bo voted at the coming Octo
ber election. One ticket headed “Judi
ciary,” for Judge of Supreme Court
one headed " State” for Governor i one
bended “ County,” Representative
and all county officers, and one
headed " Township,” (or “ Borough ”
as the case, may be,) -for - Justice
of the Peace, Boards, of Election Su
pervisors, etc. Our friends in the differ
ent, boroughs and townships had hatter
arrange to have their tickets for town
ship qr borough officers printed, the
same ns the other tickets. "
The immigration to Minnesota this
year is unprecedentedly large. Prom
the best sources of Information it is be
lieved that It will reach from 75,000 to
100,000 during J80O; apd the present
total population of the State cannot be
much, if any, short of 475,000.
V Father Abraham,” a leading
Radical organ in Lancaster county de
dares that *75,000 were paid last winter
to secure the election of the present State
Treasurer. They have a fierce war of
factions in Lancaster coppty, hence this
confession. 1
John Mitchell has, sued General
Dix for false imprisonment during the
war. The suit has been' instituted at
New York, and $26,000 damages are
claimed. Dix gave $20,00Q security to
