will be in the Capitol building.
A foot of snow fell ut Buffalo, N. Y.,
on Sunday morning, and the telegraph

Tho Philadelphia 7iim aims to be

Restored. Oregon falls into the
Democratic lino. Tho Stato has boon
rovolulionirod, and tho Democratic
cundidato for Congross is elected by
1,200 majority against 4,095 for Grant
in 1872.
Quitk A Streak. Although Mercer
county gavo Ilurtranft nearly 800 ma
jority, tho Democrats elected their
Prothonotary, Clerk of the Courts, and
Recorder, by majorities ranging from
nnn to ooo.
Mm. Elizabeth. Woodruff, wife of

The Came amd the Blame. To tho
Radicals of Pittsburgh, Allegheny,
Philadelphia, Lancaster, llurrisburg,
and other largo cities and towns wo
can now transfer the title of being tho
"Whiskey Party." They have earned
it.
Immovable. The returns of tho
Viririnia election show that despite tho
numerous iniiepeiiuent cuuuiuuica ior
Legislative honors, tho Democrats havo
made guins over their former largo
majority in both branches of tho Gen
eral Assembly.
The Philadelphia Commontceallh in
stead of blaming Pershing's defeat on
the financial plank of the Eric platform,
should give the facts and state that
Pershing was honestly and fairly
elected Governor of Pennsylvania, but
wan cheated out of tho office by frudu
lent and corrupt votes in Philadelphia.
llartronft only carries twenty-nine
counties in Pennsylvania, while Persh
ing has ft majority in thirty-seven
counties. The rural districts, where
honest clettions are held, show in
creased Democratic majsritios, while
in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other
cities, whero the Treasury Ring and
Liquor Lenguo used money, whisky,
and other corrupt means, the Republi
can voto is increased.
A Good Standard. Tbo new con
stitution of Alabama contains a pro
vUion.tbat all banks organized in that
Slate must have a specie basis, and all
their notes must be redeemed in silver
and gold. Suspension of specie pay
ments is forbidden, and bank charters
nro granted only lor twenty years.
Tbo loaning of tho Stato or municipal
credit to individuals or corporations is
prohibited.
Taot'BLE AT llrADQl-ARl'EBS. The
petty plurality for Mr. Rico, contrasted
with tho old-time majorities of seventy
nnd eighty thousand votes, proves, in
the opinion of tho Springfield Republi
can, that tho Republican party has no
firm or permanent hold upon Massa
chusetts, and warns it that without
noble aims nnd more commanding it
cannot expect to carry the State in
tho noxt national campaign.
Absenteeism. The aggregate vote
polled for llnckalewaiid Ilurtranft three
years ago, was 672,406. Tho vote Ibr
Governor at the recent election aggre
gated only 009,564. Thisdomonstmtoo
the fuct that over 62,000 persons in
this State expressed no opinion on tho
2d of November. That voto will bo
out next tail. And we are satisfied
that throe-fonrthi of tho voters will
never voto for Grant again, if thoy
over did before. ,
Tni Government Family. Whclh-J
er it is defrauding the Revenue through
tho whisky ring or locating Govern
ment depositaries, somo member of
the Urnnt family always has a finger
in it. The New York Herald publishes
sumo cvidoace to show that when
Henry Clews i Co. woro appointed
bankers for the Government in Europe,
"Mr. Boutwcll thought it a groat mis
take, and his opinion was overruled by
the only officer who had authority to
control him." The fact, adds tho Her
ald, that the appoiuUucnt was pro
cured by corrupt means "pats tbo high
officer whs enforced it ill a most un
enviable light." This high officer was
President Grant; and the corrupt
moans considered in the payment ot a
larg sum of money to his brother-in-
law, whose intimacy at tbo hits
JIouso was constant, and who was
known to bare also obtained money
from the (ale of other appoint ments.
(lOVER.VMEXT WHISKY.
it apjiears that tho government
family has boon taking a haad in cheat
ing tho Treasury out of millions of
dollars of revunuo in tho "crooked
whisky businoss. It apporr that
Ci rant's brother, Orvillo, and secretary
KabcocU have been in partnership with
the rogues, iho New York .Sum In
alluding to this fraud Buys :
Tho mora thut we learn about the
whisky frauds in Bt. Louis, the mora
apparent becomes tho fact that they
havo been carried on with tho full
knowledge of high officials in Wash
ington, who buvo protoctod the roirma
engaged in the conspiracy against tho
public treasury. I'buCiueiiinuti Gaulle
publishes soverul letters wnlter. in 1874
by a vory prominent lawyer in Unit
city to J. V. Douglass, then Commis
sioner of Internal Reveuiio, in which
tho operations of tho Si. Louis Ring
were fully exposed, tho names of its
leaders being given without conceal
ment. This lawyer wrolo that he bad
a client who had himself distilled dur
ing tho years 1871 and 1872 over
11500,(100 worth of whisky, of which
amount soino f .'100,000 was "crookod"
and paid no tnx to tho Gorornment,
and he gave the iiumes of tho ofllciuls
through whoso agency bis client was
enabled to evade payment. Ho offered
affidavits and other evidence in sup
port of these allegations, yet ho found
it impossible to induce Commissioner
Douglass to take any steps in tho mat
ter. Even when ho told that ofllcial
that tho St. Louis distillers boasted
that they had their support in tbo Ad
ministration in Washington, and that
Douglass himself was in tho Ring, tbo
latter meekly pocketed tho imputation
unu rviusuu loiiroeeou uituiiihi uu men
who were robbing the Government.
Grant all Over. Everybody
knows that Tom Murphy, Grant's Col
lector at the Port of New York, three
years ago made Grant a present of a
i 40,000 Cottage at Long Branch, New
J ursoy, whero "the government" spends
tho Summer. That Grant -is cettiiiff
ready to forsake Long Branch nnd
turn his cottage Into cash wo need but
refer to tho fact that on tbo 15lh of
October last two mortgages wcro re
corded in tho County Clerk's office in
Freehold, .Monmouth county, N. J.
They were given by Ulysses 8. Grant
and Julia 1). Grant, his wife, to Wm.
B. Dinsmore, as President of Adams
Express Company, ami wcro drawn
for the sum of $10,000 each. Look at
tbo shrewdness of the "gift tuker." In
one year from this tho property will
not bo worth the (20,000. Grant has
got tho cash in his pocket and he will
never pay tho mortgages.
Sl'KAKINQ TO THE PolNT. The cdi
tor of tho New York Hun, in alluding
to Grants speech, says: "A corres
pondent asks us to explain why wo
say Grant's Dos Moines speech Indi
cates a perverted moral nature. Be
cause it not only contemplates and
fore tells with coolness, nnd without
any sentiment of horror, a bloody war
between American citizens, growing
out of differences hi religion, but it is
calculated to foment and encourage,
with all the authority of the Presiden
tial uftlce, such damnable animosities.
It is not only intensely wicked, but
hostilo to the Constitution and to tho
traditional policy of the country. No
man of an upright mind and a tnio
American heart could entertain such
ideas or deliver such a speoch."
v u .U.
the election tho editors of tbo Tyrone
Herald stated that they had gone down
to Huntingdon and married tho Scott
and Guss factions, and tho internal
strifes of our party aro now healed in
Huntingdon. But behold on the 2d
that county, which should have given
Ilurtranft 800 majority, gave Pershing
59 majority and the wholo county
"fusion ticket" embracing true and old-
timo Democrats and Republicans, tired
of official corruption and dishonesty, is
elected by from 749 to 139 majority
over tho Radical county ticket, known
thoro as the Woods-Orlady coalition
and formerly tho faction followors of
ex-Senator Scott. Tyhurst and Jones
havo cvidontly got another marrlago on
hands.
Col.McClvrk's Paper. Tho Timet,
of Philadelphia, appeared on Monday
morning last, in an enlarged form and
a new dross. Although tho Timet has
boon in existonco but eight months, it
has a circulation larger than any other
daily papor in the Stato, with but a
singlo exception tho Public Ledger.
Mr. McCluro announces that in a few
days ho will havo in operation one of
tho best presses tho world can pro
duce, with a capacity for printing
thirty thousand comploto copies of the
papor, on both sides, in an hour, with
out touching the paper by hand. Tho
Timet is tho newsiost papor in Phila
delphia, and we wish it an abundant re
turn for its efforts to give the public a
first-class paper.

The Naval Academy at Annapolis
Maryland, is stuffed chuck full ol
Radical instructors and officials, but
still the colored "waids of tho natiou"
encounter the displeasure of "llio gov
ernment." Tho last outraj'o perpe
trated at tbo Institution on the "col
ored race is recorded in this way, by somer.oi
the Baltunoro tuirriidn, whoso editor
has bean one of the chief advocates of
miscegenation nnd negro equality tor
15 years. Hear bun :
The colored cadet in the naval acad
emy, Henry K Baker, jr., from MissiB
sippi, wns dismissed from tho ucademy
yesicniay uy tne secretary ol mo navy,
ut tbo re quest of the superintendent.
This cadet bus occasioned continual
trouble Hinro his entrance, more tl.au
a year ago, into the naval school.
NiimherBof classmates and others ut
tho school have been reported und sev
eral even dismissed, for molesting or
troubling bin. in vurious ways, but the
hypothesis that be was only an inno
cent victim of unprovoked aggressions
is proven unteiml.lo by the concurrent
testimony of bis class und by the re
port of tbo board of inquiry in regard
to tbo latest difficulty in w hich his
name appears. It was clearly shown
belbre ti.o board that Baker used, on
the occasion referred to, language too
gross for publication and totally inex
cusable, nnd this flagrant breach ot
decency, coupled with the previous ac
cumulation of minor offenses, which ho
bai committed, induced tho superin
tendent to request hisdismissal. linker
was turned back at tho end of the last
academic year to Iho class below fiirilo
flclcncy in the most important brunches
in tbo year's work, that of mathemati
cal studies, and nothing appears in his
record as a cadet to entitlo him to bo
considered a crcditablo representative
of his race, or a loss to Iho sorvico to
which ho belonged."
This is tho last government outrago
perpetrated on tho "national wards."
But wo suppoao tbo "wards" will still
continue to voto tho Radical ticket.
Tuk K.'Iakkbki.ii'. A Washington
correspondent of tho New York 7YWA
in alluding to the election of a Speaker
of tho next Congress, which meets on
the first Monday of December says :
"Iho contest for the Speakership
will soon assumo a moro aclivo form, or
at least will attract moro uttonlion.
Randall expects tho nomination on tho
first ballot in tho Democratic caucus.
Cox thinks tho contest is between him
self and Kerr. Kerr has sense enough
not to boast of his prospects. 1'er.iiiii-

play temperance so long as there is
nothing else to bother their brains
about. Like jumping Jacks, they

him. The voles of tho other five
Judges woro scattered among as many
different applicants for the position.
Philadelphia recently voted for a con
tinuance of rilgrim rule, and it is but
proMir that tho leader of that corrupt
organization should bo rewarded by

Lansbcrry wont up stairs, closely fol

In roga to the necessity for notice
from tho Government to a drafted man
that ho is a deserter, Judge MoKennan
ruled that an officer could not take a
man aniens ll conld be shown that tha
man had knowledge that he was a, dv

lie then referred briefly to the evi

quoted portions of tlio testimony of

on the pnrt of tho Government. Ho

whether the testimony offered by the
Government established the print.
