the State of Ohio has re-elected Gen. Bays
Governor by a handsome majority. We

THE JERSEY BLUES
The election held for Mayor and other
city officers in Newark, N. J., resulted in
a glorious Republican victory—a gain of
400 since last year.
THE STATE VOTE.
To ascertain the exact Republican vote
in the State we must take the average for
Governor and Supreme Judge. The fact
is that Governor Geary ran considerably
behind the ticket, which does not indi
cate any falling off from the Republican
party,strength of the State. The vote on
Supreme Judge and Governor, together,
will show the exact difference between
the Republican and Democratic party

The election in this city for municipal
officers on Tuesday last, resulted in the
routing of the hand of Copperhead bum
mers and hangers-on, who have for years
preyed on the substance of the people.
We congratulate the tax-payers, and
other good citizens, on the prospect of a
complete and radical reformation in our
city government.
Capt. Atlee has all the points of char
acter necessary for an energetic and vigor
ous Executive officer, and his known
ability and independence will tell favorably
on the welfare of our city. Ile made a gal
lant canvass, and to his indefatigable efforts,
aided by the gallant young Republicans
of the city, are the people indebted for the
glorious result.

wards for Mayor:

In our table of State returns we have
put the figure for this county at 5000.
We have since made a careful estimate,
from the returns before us (some districts
yet to be heard from) and believe the of
tidal majority will be about 5100—being
a gain of 100 on our State table.
WILLIAMS TEN THOUSAND
The majority for Judge Williams, we
think, will be fully ten thousand. Con
sidering the general apathy, and many
disadvantages under: which we labored
during the campaign, it is a splendid
victory; and it secures a Republican ma
jority on the Supreme Bench for years to
come.

THE VICTORY.
Notwithstanding the man
under Nvhich the Republican party entered
upon the campaign now closed, another
glorious popular victory for Liberty,
Equality and Progress, has just been
won. Neither the millicns of money at
the disposal of the standard-bearer of
the opposition, nor the errors and short
comings of some of the men in whom our
party had coutided heretofore, nor the
worst efforts of the whisky ring and com
binations of the Democratic rum shops in
the towns and cities throughout the State,
could induce the honest, patriotic and in
telligent Republican masses to abandon
their principles or neglect their sacred
duty to their country. Under all the cir
cumstances, the triumphant re-election of
GEARY and WILLIAMS is one of the most
glorious political achievements known to
the oldest inhabitant. After trying
various plans and schemes during the
last six or eight years to carry Old Penn
sylvania over to the sham Democracy,
they concluded to go into this last fight
with the aid of large sums of money, and
they found an old millionaire, just silly
enough, and just vain enough, to believe
that the fire-tried Republicans of the State
could be bought up with his gold, and
used at the ballot-box to re-establish the
same power which they so bravely sub
dued at the point of the bayonet a few
years ago. He was induced to spend im
mense sums of money for this purpose,
but the result proves that he is most glo
riously sold—even with his own moneyl
It was the first attempt ever made in
Pennsylvania to elect a Governor without
a single qualification for the office, other
than having millions of' cash at his dis
posal, and, for the credit of the 4tate, we
hope it will be the last.
We have good reason to hope and be
lieve, also, that there will be a uew state
of things in our State Legislature next
winter. The election of such men as Bil
lingfelt and Warfel, and some of the
same stamp in other parts of the State,
to the Senate, and a similar improvement
in the selection of representatives, cannot
fail to assure some wholesome reforms.
Thus, as a party, we will continue to
enjoy the confidence of the best people,
and make Pennsylvania even yet more
powerful and reliable in the great column
of Republican States.
A PROPOSITION.
We sincerely hope that there is no truth
in the report in circulation that the firm
of 11. G. Smith & A. J. Steinman is about
to be dissolved, and that the carpet-bagger
from Fulton county is about to retire
from the Old Guard to the more congenial
atmosphere of the wild-cat hills of Fulton
county, if he will be allowed to return to
his old home by the people of that region.
For fear he may leave the Intelligencer,
we recommend that the Republicans pre
sent him with a pension to keep him where
be is, as his services to the Republican
party cannot be dispensed with. Proba
bly our new Mayor can give him some
thing to do. It is suggested that the
office of street scavenger, or komething of
that sort, would come up to about the
measure of his capacity and instincts.
We can't spare him, and we hope some
thing will be done to keep him at his pre
sent post.
THE CITE ♦ND COUNTY.
Whilst we heartily rejoice over our
Republican local victory in this city,
we feel considerably humiliated on ac-

THE RESULT IN THE STATE.
The following we believe to be a sop:
estimate of the result for Governor. Up
to Wednesday evening our Copperhead
neighbors claimed the election of Packer
by from one thousand to twenty-five
hundred, but gave no figures upon which
they based their calculation. On the
other hand, our friends at headquarters
claim Genry , s election by from three to
five thousand. We have prepared the
estimate here given with care, and feel
that the official vote in almost every
county, will either add to the Geary col
umn or reduce that of Packer:

WATT ELECTED
One of the gratifying results of the elec
tion is the gain of a State Senator in the
first district—the triumphant election of
lion. W. W. Watt, a sound and faithful
radical. This, without counting on the
Bedford District, which is doubtful, will
give Us eighteen Senators against fifteen
copperheads.

The message of Governor Gilbert l'.
Walker to the members of the Senate anti
House of Representatives of Virginia,
sounds very much like the plea, "it is ex
pedient to be honest." Ile ingeniously
directs his arguments to their pride and
to their interests. Ile flatters the " Old
Dominion;" encourages the self-esteem o:
her citizens, by declaring that it is impos
sible that they could be guilty of mean
actions. It seems like a revival of the old
fashion Virginia brag to hear Governor
Walker speak in the following terms:
" The well-known honor and integrity
" of the people of Virginia forbid even the
" supposition that they would fail to faith
" fully adhere to and maintain, when ne
" cessary and possible, any principle to
which they had yielded their adoration.
" Virginia always f'ultils in the most am
" ple good faith her pledges; but her people,
" by this action, have not only placed the
" political rights of our citizens upon a
firm and enduring basis, but they have
" accomplished much more.
In commenting on the above the Phila
delphia Inquirer well says that this son
of talk was common ten years ago, and it
was assumed on behalf, not only of Vir
ginians, but of the Southern people gen
erally, that all the virtues which could
adorn human nature were prominent in
their characters. They were noble, chiv
alric, high-toned, &c., &c. But these
eminent traits of character did not prevent
them from acting fraudulently and treaeh
eretisly to the people of other States. The
less there is of this sort of gasconade the
better Governor Walker's flattery may
succeed. He asks that the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the Con
stitution of the United States shall be
ratified. It is only upon the belief that
no other action will satisfy Congress, that
it is likely the amendment will be carried.
Possibly that policy is the only one which
can be pursued in order to maintain the
organization of the Legislature, and con
trol the election of United States Senators.
The Radical Republicans have joined in
the organization of the Senate and House,
under protest. They are not satisfied of
the rights of their colleagues who cannot
take the iron-clad oath. They show a
disposition to avail themselves of the ad
vantages of their position whenever they
perceive that benefit may result. They
claim a right to withdraw if they see
proper, and to organize a House and Sen
ate of their own, which they will then
maintain are the only legal bodies. Should
they do so the Virginia question will be
considerably complicated, and Congress
will have a perplexing controversy to set
tle. These malcontents may probably be
retained in the present organization if the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
are passed, but there must be no hesita
tion or evasion about the matter; other
wise, the separation is sure to take place.
