In Georgia we liuvo to recount a
victory for the Liberul ticket go uncx
umplud as to Intio tier out of tho Hat
of J on Li 1 til SUtlcs, und practically to
pronounco in advunce the deciaion of
at leant 125 voice in the electoral col
lege. To this number it is only nec
essary to odd sixty votes to- elect
Greeley and Brown.
In Pennsylvania the distinguished
chairman of tho Liberal committee
hus eloquently characterized the meth
ods by which the result of tho election
there was Accomplisliod. We com
mend bis stutemcnt to tho thoughtful
attention of the country.
. lu Ohio, dexpito most unprecedent
ed gains for tho Liberal Democratic
ticket, the Grunt managers bare car
ried the election by a reduced major
ity, having brought to the poll their
entire roscrvo volo. Hud our Demo
cratic friends in certain localities of
that great Commonwealth shown tho
sumo curncntnr&s and activity, and
enabled us liko our enemies lo record
our entire strength, they would now
bo exulting over a brilliant victory.
In Indiana tho Dctnot ratio and Liber
al forces have achieved a most im
portant suceccs over Pennsylvania
tactics, most unscrupulously employ
ed by the administration and its al
lies, showing thus that a free pcoplo
whon aroused know their rights and
dare maintain them. Indiana bas
fairly demonstrated that she can
neither bo "bonght nor bullied." Tho
moral of Iho results is that victory is
still in plain view for pur national
tickot, and that enorgy and oourago
will unsure tl. TUttt, victory most b.
won. If we mean to preserve froo
institutions on this continent wo must
assure It.
Tho event in Pennsylvania on Tues
day last, when considered in its caus
es, is the most appalling political ca
tastrophe that has ever taken placo In
this country. Should the xyitem
through wbicb this catastrophe was
brought about bo Condon"'! by the
people and fuinlcd on the other States,
it sculs tho doom of freedom in Ameri
ca. A sad contrast it is surely tbat
tho city In which our republic was
born amid the nnlhems of a free pco
plo fchould now be tho first to loll ibe
knell of its liberties. It is tor tho
free, unbought people of all tho Stales
to calmly review the fearful crime
aguinat suffrage in Pennsylvania, and
to decide whether it shall bo rcpoutcd
within their own borders.
Fur the Bint liino tho system of
free government and tho sanctity of
tho ballot are really on trial in tho
Unilcd States. From this hour for
ward tho preservation of the franchise
in its integrity dwurfs nil other issues.
Let our friends in each of tho Slates
catch inspiration from the heroic con
duct of our fellow citizens in Georglu
and Indiana; nnd from now to No
vember let their strugglos bo manful
and unceasing for liberty and an un
tainted ballot box, for roform nnd an
honest administration of Uio govern
ment. ACGL'STUS SCIIKI.L,

our Democratic vote of 1809 would

combined and given us tlvo victory.
Can wo 'repair tbo mischief f We

Tuesday, but will volo for Greeley.
We bavo only to poll our usual Demo,

glorious victory. Liberal stretch

War Imminent.
I ThouIcmphis(Tcun.)corro!pondont
of the Now York llcraU, of the 13ih,
thus describes tho scenes transpiring
in a "froo" Sluto under Grant rule :
tllnving just returned from Osceola,
Ark., I am enabled lo send it slate
inent of tho impending troubles at thut
point. Tbo town ol Osceola contains
some six hundred inhabitants, five dry
goods stores, seven rot-ail groceries or
grog shops, and sovcrnl dozen trading
what nro left by the tornado which
swept over the pluce two weeks ago,
and destroyed some twenly bouses,
including a church anil three store
houses, will) their contents. Oscoolu
is the county seat of Missouri county,
Arkansas, and is on tbo Missouri Riv
er, ninety milos ubovo this city. Tho
surrounding country is swampy, and
tho settlement, oxcept an occusioul
cotton or farm plantation of sorcrul
hundred acres, is rather a wild region.
Except by river thoro is no communi
cation with tho place from this city,
und it has neither railroad nor lelo
grnph station, though there is a regu
lar landing for Bleutners. Tbo inhab
itants, except those wbo own farms,
are an illiteruto type, such ns goner
ally reside in a newly sealed country.
For tho past six years . . . . i
TUB COUNTY OFFICIALS ,
have been of the stripe of the follow
ers of ex-Governor Clayton and bis
doctrines. Their elevation to office
was entirely duo to Iho negroes and
ignorant whites. Properly and land
owners have bad no volo in tbo elec
tion of ollicinU, and a split in the domi
nant party in tbo Stuto gave tho Lib
erals so mo hope of changing tbe politi
cal siltiHlion and eventually securing
a less bated sot of county otileiuls.
Tbe principal leuders of tbo factions
woro Murry, the Sheriff of Missouri
couuly, ond Fitzpatrick, County Reg
ister. The latter is a bold, bad, errutic
man, of violent prejudices, a carpet
bagger from Kontucky and a confirm
ed Radical.

feeling was engendered by bis killing of

Pleads Guilty of Murder in the Second.

Years Imprisonment,
Our Slate Citpiiiil, nnd Dauphin
country generally, bus labored under
grout excitement for a year past, ovor
tbo poisoning of two women and a
man by a wealthy and respectublo
f'urmor, named ShnfTner, who resided
near llummelsiown. Ilo was tried
aid convicted of murder in tbo first
degree, last winter, but his attorniea
look bis eeso up to the Supremo Court,
und, that tribunal, after giving tho
cuso ft patient Invest ig.ilion, grunlod
tho prisoner a new trial, llis case
was culled up on the 1:1th, and, accord
ing to tho Ilnrrisburg Patriot, was
disposed nf ns follows :
Kmantinl. Shuffiier, llio convicted
wifo poisoner, pleaded guilty yestor
day afternoon to murder in the second
degrco in Iho three indictments charg
ing him with tho crime of poisoning
bis wives Nancy and Surah nnd bis
paramour's husband, John Sburlnck.
Owing l j the absence of Judge Mum
ma in tbo morning the court was ad
journed until the uftornoon, Tho list
of jurors buving bocb Culled over six-,
ly-scvon answered to their names.
Emanuel Sbaffner, llio prisoner, wa.
brought, into tbe court room shortly
after by Sheriff Hoikel. Physically
he seemed somewhat moro robust than
ut tho first trial, and hi indifference
to bis terriblo position appeared jast
us marked. ,
Soon nf'.cr llio appearance of tho
prisoner tbo clerk of tho court or
dered him to eland up nnd hold up
his right baud.
Tho iudictmont was then read by
the clerk, after which the prisoner
was asked, How say you, Emanuel
Sbaffner, "gnily or not guilty f"
The prisoner replied "guilty of mur
der in tbo second degree."
The iudictmont charging tho pris
oner with tho murder of John Shar
lock was next read, und tbe same que-,
lion asked, when the prisoner replied
"guilty of murder in the second degree.'
4'he indictment charging the pria
oner wilh tbe murder of Sarah Shaff
ner was next read, und tho plea "guil
ty of murdor in liie second degree"
wa put in.
Tbo district attorney stated that in.
consequence of tho prisoner putting
in the plea of "murder in tbe second
degree" in nil tho cases, and tbo endi
of justice being served, the term of
imprisonment being sufllciont to pro
vent bis doing further barm io tbo
community, bo accepted the pleas,
with the consent of the court. Tbo
offer camo voluntarily from the pris
oner through his counsel, and tho
common wealth could notfuil to accept
the offer, ns il would' save iucicuseij
oxpenso lo tho county. .
' llis Honor Judge Pearson stated tbat
it was wilh reluclunco that tho court
agreed to anything ll.ut lookoJ like
compromise, but in consideration of
tho offer, and as the ends of justice
would be attained, the court consonted
lo accept tbo offer and allow the pleas
to bo entered, knowing that the con
finement of the defendut would be of
such a length that ho would havo no
further opportunity of doing harm
to tho community or tho members
thereof.
Tbo court then asked if the prisoner
hnrl nnytbinir to say why sentenco
should not be pronounced upon him.
He answered in a firm tone, "Noth
ing." Ilo wus then ordered to stnntl
up, whonJudgo Pearson addressed him
in substance as follow :
Emanuel Shaffer ! You bavo put in
the plea of "guilty of murder in the sec
ond degree" to three indictments, and
although you wore indicted for murder
in tbe first degree, nnd were no doubt
guilly,wo have concluded to accept tlio

pily towardayou, although you did not
sho-v liny pily to your victims, t torn

severity of their pains. I did, not bo--
iicvo' that ibero was any one In this
country thai would bo guilty of- poi
soning three different persons at dif

own confession that you havo been
guilty of that crime. We would ad

anoo can go. Insteud of taking your
