During the past few years the people of this country have been gradually merg ing into the dangerous practice of disre garding important laws, which may yet lead to serious results. The worst feature in this is that demagogues have intro duced this practice into politics, and in some parts of the State even judges, dis trict attorneys, and others engaged in see ing the laws faithfully executed, have un dertaken to nullify and set at nought leg islative enactments by declaring them to be unconstitutional, and thus induced men on the ground of party alone to con strue laws for the benefit of party. Until within the hist few years, election boards j as a general thing endeavored to construe j those laws according to their true intent j and meaning, and no one was so regard- I less of his oath as to attempt to nullify j any clause on the ground of its being un- j constitutional. Differences of opinion of course existed, and one board admitted voters which another did not, but those differences never arose from actual disre gard of law, but rather from ignorance. This however is fast changing, and we now daily hear men discussing the con stitutionality of legislation as if we had no Supreme Court to decide what is or what is not law. For such men to under take to say that a State law disfranchis ing deserters is unconstitutional, and act upon that assertion, is setting aside the whole law, for they might with equal propriety decide that the ten days' resi dence, the payment of a tax, and" other qualifications, are the same. The decis ion of the Supreme Court in the congres sional case does not affect the present law, because the latter supplies a new State qualification which, until decided by the Supreme Court, is law. Where all this will end it is difficult to tell; but it is not difficult to foresee that where a judicial officer lias incited a man to violate a law, he is totally unfit to try him for an offence to which he is himself a partieeps criminis. Besides, it has a tendency to make bur elections subservi ent to a class of men wanting the first principle of a good citizen, patriotism. WeS* General Couch has been notified of his appointment as Collector of the port of Boston. Thos. A. Scott, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, lias contribu ted SIOOO for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers. J6General Dix will hold his appoint ment as naval officer of New York only a few days. He has accepted the mission to France. f&tf' Mr. Pillsbury, the defeated Copper head candidate for Governor of Maine, has just been appointed to a pension agency in that .State. Pay said to be $3,000. The Democrat admits that the re publican procession numbered nearly 1000 persons. Taking pattern by its* 5000 arithmetic, the count would be consider able. Bar The household effects left at the Arlington Mansion by R. E. Lee late rebel general, or rather the fragments re maining of them, were delivered to the party authorized to receive them. This was done on Andrew Johnson's order! At a private dinner last week, Mr A. T. Stewart intimated his readiness to give $1,000,000 for the erection of tene ment houses for the deserving poor of New York, on condition that the land re quired should be provided. tKi f A colored man named John Brown at the instigation it is said of another named Henry Garver, was bought by the copperheads of Harrisburg to go in their procession lying on a sofa, smoking a ci gar! Both these men were bitterly de nounced by the colored men, at a public meeting, as degraded specimens of hu manity. To us it looks as if the copper heads were making that nigger their su perior. BtfL. Our caution to look out for Fictions in the last Democrat was well-timed, as that paper "had a wonderful Recount of 5000 voters in council." As there are less than 4000 in the county, including republicans, democrats, copper job nsons, copperheads, Ac., and as less' than L"00 were here from Huntingdon and Juniata, at least 3500 out of the 5000 must have been imported across Jack's Stone, Shade, and the Seven Mountains, or else were men of struw! A Blunder Someivhere. —One James Potts, Pennsylvania, has addressed a com munication to the President, in which he expresses his indignation at the appoint ment of A. C. Mullin as collector of inter nal revenue for the Seventeenth district of Pennsylvania, on the recommendation of Senator Cowan. He informs A. J. that Mullin was recently chief clerk to the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania; is a thorough-bred Radical; will not fail to work tor the interests of the Radical par ty, and further, that the appointment will insure the defeat of R. L. Johnston, the Democratic candidate from that district. He intimates that Cowan's selections of appointees are made with little regard for tne aid of "my policy" and are often men whose political principles are of the Rad ical stamp. TIIE ELECTIOX. That one of the most stupendous elec tion frauds ever attempted in this county was )>erpetrated yesterday was abundant ly evident long before the polls closed. Derry and Granville townships both poured forth hordes of colonized voters, while bribery was so openly practised in the streets and alleys that even conceal ment was not deemed necessary. Things in the shape of men were hanging around the master spirits of this corrupting in fluence, patiently waiting to see how much they could get for debasing them selves to a degradation so low that it must have brought a blush of shame to every man who regarded the purity of elections, to see such illegal means triumph. Sun dry deserters were colonized as recom mended in districts where the board al lowed them to vote—the Poor House sent forth its paupers as voters —men who next Sunday will be found sniveling over prayers and devotional exercises in churches, showed their cloven feet by producing and vouching for strangers whom they had secretly and temporarily employed for the express purpose of vot ing, and thus violated a law as imperative as that which says, thou shult not steal— and company works were used as though they had been created for the express pur pose of overslaughing the legal voters of this .county. It remains to be seen how ever whether they have not for once over reached themselves, and become amena ble to what the law defines to be a serious offence. We subjoin the returns from Lewistown district, which furnish a curious commen tary 011 the purity of suffrage and freedom of elections: Geary. Clymer. Lewistown, E. W. 174 162 W. W. 128 149 Granville 115 181 Derry 159 187 Geary. Clymer. Decatur, 47 Oliver & McV't'n, 103 Brown, 29 New Armagh, 16 Old Armagh, 44 Wayne & N. Hm't'n, 12 Union and Menno to hear from. This elects the what-you-call-'em ticket by a small majority. E. W. W. W. Derry. Gran, Associate Judges. Troxell, 189 119 154 110 Glass, 160 114 148 106 Boss, 151 153 188 180 Banks, 168 156 191 180 Congress. Morrell, 171 125 158 114 Johnston, 164 148 186 177 Assembly. Brown, * 174 124 152 114 Wharton, 167 123 153 114 Miller, 163 149 189 1 77 Willis, 157 146 189 1 76 Sheriff. Shull, 157 124 149 116 McEwen, 176 147 194 177 Commissioner. McCoy, 177 127 153 114 Kearns, 154 145 191 176 Auditor. Wakefield, 173 122 155 113 Butler, 161 153 187 177 The heaviest vote heretofore polled in Granville shows that some3o or 40 votes were colonized there for this election.— In Derry it is estimated that from 30 to 40 were surreptitiously introduced, while in Lewistown the colonized and purchas ed material amounted to at least 50. In Oliver and McVeytown from 20 to 30 were added. A party that resorts to such means to obtain political ascendancy cannot fail, sooner or later, to meet with a stern re buke at the hands of the taxpayers who, in the end, will foot some of the bills. It must also be a source of much gratifica tion to a high minded and honorable man to know that he holds office through a ma jority composed of paupers, deserters, draft skedaddiers, and imjiorted votes. Our information from other points is that Mr. Morrell is elected to Congress by from 600 to 1000 majority; and that Brown and Wharton are elected to the Legisla ture. The State may be in doubt on Gov ernor, though we think Gen. Geary is elected. Some years ago the " democracy" started a story that It. L. Johnston, then its now, copperhead candidate for Con gress, had deserted the Presbyterian church and became a Roman Catholic. — During the late campaign this was bruit ed about by a few persons, and forthwith an emissary was sent to Cambria county to make known to the Catholics there that the republican party was electioneer ing against Johnston on that ground ! The republican party did no such thing. \\ e knew that it was used two years ago by the democracy, yet there is not a re publican paper in the district which gave the slightest hint that Johnston belonged to that church, which we believe is the fact. Too Horrible to be True. —A Savannah dispatch to the Chicago Post has the fol lowing: Fifteen Union soldiers confined at Andersonvilie until the close of the war, were hist Monday discovered still in confinement in a cave near Atlanta, guur ? t & and totally igno rant that the war was ended. They were s arved and emaciated, having been cru elly abused, and most of them were near ly idiotic from the protracted confinement in darkness, not having seen the lieht since leaving xYndersonville. *®S T - he Alexandria, La., Gazette savs that Rufus King Cutler, of New Orleans aggravated by General Sheridan' 9 des patches and remarks, sent a friend to the Commander of the department of the Gulf to inquire if that great military peisonage would accept a challenge, and that the General said that if Cutler or any of his friends called on him for any such purpose, he would kick them out of his quarters. The Sheridander was up. . e two severe frosts last week which injured some late corn, beans, and other garden products. Funeral of Rebel Soldier* in Kentucky. The Cincinnati Commercial savs : "On Tuesday hist the bodies of ten rebel sol diers, two of whom were shot by order of j General Burbi idge some two years ago, ! in retaliation for the murder of a Unioii ; citizen of Scott county, Ky., by guerillas, ! were rehitered with great pomp in the j cemetery at Georgetown, Ky. Ex-rebel I soldiers, rebel sympathizers, &c., to the ! amount of live or six thousand, formed tiie funeral cortege. Basil Duke rode at the head of about three hundred mounted men formerly of Morgan's command, and ! the widow ofthe latter occupied a car i riage in the procession. All the rebel soldiers and many others who took part in the demonstration wore the red, white and red badges. Ibe orations were de livered—one by Rev. Mr. HoMand, for merly a chaplain in Howard Smith's regiment, -of Morgan's command, and one by Rev. Mr. McGinn, a Campbellite minister at Georgetown." Death of John S. Rarey, the Horse-tamer. The celebrated horse-tamer, John S. Ra rey, died suddenly at Cleveland, Ohio, on ! the 4th inst. Last December he had a stroke of para lysis, since which time lie bad been treat ed by several prominent physicians. On Thursday, at two p. m., lie left the Wad ded House for a walk, but soon returned, complaining ofa pain in the head. After being seated a few minutes he exclaimed, i j " I mil d3'ing," and in about an hour he ' expired. Mr. Rarey was a native of Frank'in county, Ohio, where he was born in 1828. He first publicly developed liiss3 - stem for taming, or rather training horson such a duration of life. Born two vears before the end of the French and Indian war, four years before the famous | stamp act was passed, fifteen years before the declaration of Independence, thirty eight years before the death of Washing ton, fifty-one years before the war of 1812, one hundred years old at the outbreak of the Southern rebellion.
