Tlie Election.
To those who expected this .State to be
carried for the Republicans without unu
sual exertions, the result is no doubt un
expected, but if it is reeoiieetejd that that
party has had to carry all the obloquy at-'
tendant on tuxes resulting from the rebel
lion, and to contend with thousands whose
_ minds were drily perverted by faL-erepre
acntauons which no argument however
plain, could overcome; and .that on the
other hand the democracy as u-ua! |ian
dered to whisky, to prejudicesagainst tlie
Hun-lay law, and especially to prejudices
ngain-T the colored race, that they had
without question the use dT hundreds
of thousands of dollars obtained from the
infidel liquor league, the free tradeleainie
of New York, and prwfaiiy from the
Johnson fund which latter ir.irttreadiiy
account for the 7-Si.Slkki bonds called
forgeries, but which many believe to have
been printed from the original plates>—
the only wonder is that SharMvo'*] is not
elected l.y thousands instead of a few pal
try hundreds. There I- also a great falling
< If in the vote, nine-tenths of which is
republican.
Democracy may console itself as it did
in 1-32, when Blenker wa-veleeted Audi
tor General by over -3to majority, but
their joy will 1 -of short -duration as it
WH then, for la J863 the republicans car
ried the .State hy.J>,bo. And so it will
be next year, vrheis the interior will roll
up majorities far bevon i the last, and am
ply sufficient to overcame the combined
influences of patent dem-ocracy, Andrew
Johnson and his friend telow.
The Pennsylvania Kailroaa.
It is well known that the directors of
this road have a resolution on ttieir min
utes prohibiting all lis-employees'from
directly or indire-Tly interfering in elee
tions; it is equally well known that noi
republican connected with that road has
ever been charged with having perverted
it to the interests of that party. On the
other hand, not a year has gone by lately
in which this county was .not colonized
by gangs of hands who remained is the
district just long enough to gain a ten
days residence and vote, ami in every
such instance, hardly a republican vote
was found among them. Complaint up
on complaint was made, and occasionally
a high-sounding order was .ijhuJ, but
those who were at the bottom of the work
were retained in office only to rejx-at the
same offence the following year. In the
ia'e campaign the (ifcat of both rrpttbli
f-sm Senators in this district—certainly of
f ,„ e —jt directly owing t the interference
of railroad officials who threatened re
publicans with dischargeia-ease they did
not vote against Hobison and McVitty.
We know that efforts have already been
made to hush up tui- matter, probably
by threatening to discharge those who
w ere thus influenced if they said anything
about it; but we believe the time has come
for the Republican Party of this section
to demand a scrutiny into the manage
ment of railroad affaire in ibis county.—
Bet a committee of the Directors be ap
pointed to examine the hands under oath
—let them in pure of men who were dis
charged or refused employment, although
immediately afterwards others of the ri'jht
kidney were so employed —let them in- j
quire along tlie line info numberless
promises of employment made, and they i
will find that tlie Pennsylvania Railroad
"is and hat been used against the Republi
can Party of this county precisely as the
Htate Canal was formerly used against thej
whigs. Where majorities are large j
a few votes make little difference,
but in Mifflin, where the vote is close,!
colonized voters on the railroad have re
peatedly defeated republican candidates.
If these things are done with the sanc
tion of the directors, it is time for the re-:
publicans of the interior to know it; if it
is not, it is time that those who so pervert
the railroad, whether sujierintendents,
sujiervisors, or bosses, be discharged.
Gideon Welles, Secretary of tlie Navy,
■was recently guilty of a high offence in
ser ring Com. Belfridge, commanding
\ r Philadelphia Navy Yard, to resist
force tiie execution of a writ of ha-
Vprpus issued by the Court of iguar
kions, and the Attorney General,
a>- he has heretofore been, was com
ic admit that it was a case in which
jart had clear jurisdiction. We
yet uoL if en a single copperhead
paper which has condemned this outrage
on .States Rights—for suc hit undoubtedly
•was—made in a time of peace and when
there was no occasion for refusing sub
mission. In President Ripcoln's day,
with the country and its wistihKions in
danger of existence,such proceedings were
heralded forth as unconstitutional, unjust,
oppressive, and invasions of Htate Rights.
Now theets "faithful guardians of public
liberty" are mum as serfs.
Chartered Monopolies.
Robert Hare Powell of Philadelphia
!has taken the field against chartered mo
nopolies with exclusive privileges, and in
(one of his recent letters favoring a eon
j vention on the subject, utters the follow
ing home truths:
If the anxious inquirer into this impor
'tant subject will travel through Pennsyl
vania aui carefully n< te the extent and
condition of tiie private manufacturing
and mining establishments which aredis
> tributed along tlie lines of tiie great Rail
r read and Canal monopolies, exclusive of
1 the extensive and j rosperous enterprises
' controlletl or owned by Railroad and ba
nal managers, and sjieiid sufficient time
in the investigation to ascertain the seu
. tinieiits of their proprietors, as well as the
" jwdi vies under which they are obliged to
• succumb, ample evidence wiil feeacijuircd
to convince tlie most obdurate, that while
the rights and interistsof the citizen-of
: tlio-e |rtions of Pennsylvania in which
the improvements of these transporting
companies are situated, are most seriously
itnpairetl, the general pro-jerity of tlie
' Commonwealth is actually imjierilled by
the inauguration of the*system under
which such corporations tiave been crea
ted. *
The crushing feet of these monster mo
. no|ioltes, like the impressions of tlie vul
ture'- claws UJXJII tiie SIR. i, jxiint in ui
mo-t every direction. Tirades against
t'.em will be heard from the inhabitants,
many of wtsoui, from a desire of develop
ing the re- nrees of their farm- and min
eral p-f-sessions, have lost earnings of
years in their lateral railroad investments,
' which have been unscrupulously gohbi'.*d
up by these legalizcl aljs<rt>ers.
They will be discovered in their arbitra
ry jxilieies an-1 extortionate cbaiyes,
which, while in -ome are instituted
'in order to lx lefit stockholders, are in
other instances iinposei UJKUI thecoiumu
niiy with a view to depress independent
enterprise, so as to se<-ure for tiieir mana
gers greater gain- from the establishments
with wiiieli they are secretly and nefari
ously connected. The naralyziug effects
of petty sovereignty will be discerned in
tlie restricted facilities which arc extend
ed to the Lab.riiig classes and caintalists,
w ho are, and -eek to tc engaged in indi
vidual pursuits aee<—ible to their improve
ments —they will be betrayeil in tlie dis
mantled furnaces, in tlie neglected e<>ai
mine-, in the uueared for farms, in tlie
partially employed rolling mills, in the
ianguisliiug gri-t mills, in theetlbrtsto
withdraw capital fnxn investments, and
in the almost constant immigration of the
workmgman in search of employment.
Tue demoralizing influences of nionoje
oly will be re<-ogii:zeJ in the ballot !x;x,
in the legislative iiails, and in efforts to
subvert the tribunals of ju.-tice.
The above picture is a true one, but it is
ail idle to attempt to remove the yoke so
long as the ]>t-opic- will for party sake vote
for wlmever is put up as a candidate. We
had an instance of this in the recent sen
atorial election in this district, where the
republican candidates were ple<lgeti in fa
vor of a free railroad law. and although it.
was known tohundn-d-that at least one of
tlie democratic candidates \v:ts a railroad
attorney, yet we dou!;t wlietber either
Robison or McVitty received a single
democratic vote on tliat account. Instead
of thi-, we know nunibers who are fre
quently railing at the Pennsylvania Rail
road as a monopoly, extortionate in its
charges, and caring for nothing but its
own aggrandizement, whospent both time
and money in electing the railroad estn
didates.

A feu* years ago tlie democracy profess
ed -to be opposed to tlie Pennsylvania
Railroad as an anti-democratic monopoly!
Of course ail democrats will rejoice tliat
tiie monopoly assisted them in electing
Mclntire, one of its attorneys, Htate Hen

The National Intelligencer, Johnson's

The wise and prudent law regulating

Democracy demands that all blacks be
discharged from all employment and
whites substituted in their places, for is
not this a white man's country, where
negroes have no rights a white man is

Ts no lonjrer a motto for democracy for

tition with instruments of the best makers of this
' country and Europe, and received the re ward of mer
-1 it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say mat the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto-Excelsior." , novl t-1 y
