THURSDAY EVENING, ' NOV. 4, 1880
Onr Vain Majority.
The Democracy lias a large majority
en the popular vote, as it had in 1S7G,
and loses this natural advantage through
the federal system te whose preservation
the parly is se rauch devoted. The tem
per of its political opponents has been te
obliterate state lines and state soveign seveign
ties and te consider the government as
one nation instead of a union of inde
pendent states. If their idea was carried
out the popular vote of the whole coun
try would determine its government,
and net the distinct vote of each
state. The Democratic idea works
against the interest of the party
which specially defends it : but
it seems te be a sound principle, adopted
te check the undue power of the greater
states. It does net have this effect new
because the greatest states are nearly
equally divided politically; as they have
generally been. The theory that the
interests f the state would incline it
strongly te one party or the ether has
net usually been vindicated by the
fact. In Xew YerI:,I'eii!isylvauia.and in
deed in nearly all the northern states, the
Democratic vote is almost equal te the
Republican, and the party in the nation
has only been defeated by its unexpect
edly small vote in tlie city of New Yerk.
The usual Democratic majority there
would have given us tlie state, which
would have given us the majority of the
electoral vote ; te which we have the
consolation of knowing that we arc fairly
entitled : if that is a consolation. We de
net have new, as four years age, the
mortilicatien of knowing that we
are cheated out of our president, though
new, as then, we have commanded the
most voles. We are beaten by the sys
tem which does net give our vote
its full effect. It Is provoking but net
exasperating te knew this. .Someday
we may benefit by it in our turn.
The Kind We .Needed.
The Xew Yerk San .-ays Tildcn .should
have, been nominated. Tin' Philadelphia
iV;.,-i? says 51 should have been IJayard.
And probably a geed many people think
that if their favorite had been the Dem
ocratic nominee the result would have
been different. Who can tell V And
what geed reason e.-ists for saying that
any ether man would have been stronger
than Hancock ? After his nomination
ami until his defeat we all with singular
unanimity agreed that he wasthe strong
est candidate we could have taken : be
cause of his record as a soldier, his char
acter as a man and the strength which
lie showed as a political thinker. There
is no reason furnished by the result of
the election l diminish the high esti
mate we conceived of our candidate. lie
is bealen, but net b.-cause he was net a
great soldier, citizen and .statesman.
If the defeat teaches us anything con
cerning his caii'lidaey it leaches that we
did net want these high qualities in
our
teils
candidate. It tell
us.
it
us anything personal te the
candidate, that we wanted a man from
the penitentiary instead of a major gen
eral, one lit for a jail rather than a gen
tleman of honor, a political trickster
instead of a wise and honest statesman.
Who wants te present a candidate asene
who would have been successful in Han
cock's place, when the requirements of
the successful candidate are thus
indicated by Hancock's defeat 'i We de
net. We have no favorite we would thus
dishonor, But at the. next convention
we may be disposed, taught by enr ex
perience with HcClel'an, .Seymour, Gree
ley and Hancock, te be less eager for the
nomination of that tyne. of the honest
and straightforward man; who seems te
lie shown te be tee virtuous for these
times in which falsehood and dishonesty
nourish.
What Was It!
Wii if was it hurt, us in Xew Yerk
cityV That is a free-trade town and it
could scanv ly have been the free-trade
tendencies which we were accused here.
Was il .!eh:i Kelly, as se many Demo
crats are Kijiug V Certainly it was net.
Whatever Mr. Kelly's faults, treachery
is net among them. He has never be
fore been accused of it, and il is abso
lutely impossible te a man of his
character. II is faults are these of
a straight-forward honest temperament.
Was it Mr. Tildcn, as some say '; Why
should it be ? What had he te gain by
it V The real secret will probably be
found in some Republican rascality.
Xew Yerk city was well known te-be the
jitcc'th' i(.NV,W(..ici' necessary te be over
come te elect Garfield. The Republican
candidate for vice president was at the
head of the party management, with an
efficient and unscrupulous representa
tive in Johnny Davenport. It would net
be strange if. with their knowledge of
the city, they had been enabled te de
some effective secret work te our un
doing. The remarkable falling oil in
our vote and increase in the Republican,
in the face of the fact that, the tendency
should have been the ether way in this
Democratic city, where the parly was
thoroughly united, needs explanation.
It. could hardly have been natural.
There is no reason for it te be found
upon the surface of things: but neither
is the nigger in the weed pile uncovered ;
we need te find him.
Tiinl'all Mall, Londen. Gazelle, com
menting ui:en the result of our elections
declares that " for England the election
is satisfactory, as it resulted in a victory
for tiu party which is most inclined te
encourage satisfactory relations between
"England and America.' That may be a
pleasant knowledge te the victorious
party, lust it is hardly the fact which
gave them their votes. That England
will be content with a member of the
Cobden club in the presidential office is
net surprising. The only astonishing
thing is that the Englishmen and our
manufacturers many of them feel the
same way about it.
That Xew Yerk majority is dropping
down in a very exciting way, but it is
net likely te drop low enough te de
ns geed. A miss is as geed as a mile
always. But what provoking experiences
we Democrats de have !
Coxsiderixe the fact that the
" solid Seuth "' is deprived in this elec
tion of the effect of her solid vote, the
Republicans ought te be grateful that
the Democrats of the country are net
mere generally distributed. They don't
seem te knew what is geed for them : or
may be they only pretended te dislike
what really delighted them.
MINOR TOPICS.
The Democracy remain in a popular
majority in the country and save for their
losses' in Xew Yerk city and Brooklyn
Hancock would be the elect.
Daniel Decgiieutv, in Judge Hare's
court yesterday, was equal te the occasion.
The orator was counsel for the defendant
and it happened that his client was a
canal beat captaiu. "My client, gentle
men of the jury," said Mr. Dougherty,
"fellows the canal for a living rather a
profitable business about this time."
Althei'gii Brooklyn gave Hancock a
majority she elected the entire Republican
county ticket. There is a split in the Dem
ocratic ranks, and the Bess McLaughlin
faction lays the defeat upon the shoulders
of Mr. Kinsella, of the Eagle, who leads
the belters. Altogether there seem te be
tee many "bosses'" in Xew Yerk and
Brooklyn.
Additional election returns from this
and ether slates received yesterday and
last night will be found elsewhere. Cali
fornia and Xevada arc reported te have
gene Democratic, and Oregon Republican.
This gives all the Xerthern states, except
Xew Jersey, California and Xevada te
Garfield and Arthur, making their vote in
the electoral college 21'S against 1.10 for
Hancock and English.
Fkem Xew Yerk state the congressional
delegation consists of 20 Republicans, 12
Democrats and 1 Independent, the Rev. J.
Hyatt Smith, of Brooklyn, who is elected
by the Democrats and Grccnbackei-s. He
has always been a Republican, but the
Democrats say that he will be with them
en all ielitical questions. He defeated
L. B. Chittenden, Republican, s conspic
uous in financial debates in Congress for
the last live years. The Republicans lese
the dist lift new represntcd by, Einstein.
The fight was het between young Mr.
Aster and young Dugre, both of whom
are millionaires. Dugre is :i mere boy.
He is twenty six and Aster Iwcnty-niuc
years old. The Republicans gain the Cat
skill district, but lese the Orange district.
They lese the Albany and Buffalo districts.
The net result, is a less of four te the Rc
puMieaus and a gain of three te the Dem Dem
eei.'ls, or four including Smith.

Yerk, formerly of the Xew Jersey Metho
dist Episcopal conference, died en Tues

be all the mere significant for being im

The Federal Senate.
In the Senate the two parties are likely
te be evenly divided. In the present Sen
ate the Republicans have thirty-three and
the Democrats forty-three membcrs, in
cluding Davis, of Illinois. In the recent
elections the Republicans have gained
a majority in the Legislature's of
seven states, namely: Connecticut, New
Yerk, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohie.
Indiana and Tennessee, which will
secure the election of seven Re
publican Senators, te succeed as many
Democrats. The Democrats having se
cured a majority in the Nevada Legislature
will succeed Mr. Sharen with a Democrat,
ami a Democrat has already besn chosen
te succeed Mr. Bruce, of Mississippi,
which makes the net Republican gain five
and assures the Republicans 38 Senators
from March 4th, 1881.
This number is just one-half of the en
tire membership of the Senate, and with
the vote of the vice president would give
the Republicans control of legislation. On
the ether hand, the Democrats cannot
count for certain en the support
of mere than thirty-six senators,
for the reason that Judge Davisi
of Illinois, and General Mahone, of Vir
ginia, may act with the Republicans upon
many occasions, but should these two
senators bind themselves te the "Demo
crats, it will be seen that, provided the
Republicans secure a senator from Ten
nessee, the Democrats will fail of a ma
jority. IVp-XSYLVAMA.

In view of the overwhelming excitement
of the presidential aanvass, the election in
Philadelphia el Controller Pattiten by a
mnjeiity of 1:5,000, in a city where all his
colleagues en the Democratic city ticket
are defeated by 20,000 majority, is net
only unexpected but simply astounding.
Te produce this change, ever 16,000 Re

The Ecenimj Express gives the following
account of the meeting between Generals
Hancock and MuClcllaii : "Fer a man who
had met the one crushing defeat of his
life General Hancock sustains himself
nobly. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning he
went te his official headquarters and was
seen immeiscd in his daily military corre
spondence, lie had read the morning
papers at breakfast and knew the result.
Net a word fell from his lips, net a move
ment of his impassive face gave token of
emotion within.
Twe or three visitors called, and were
leeeived by Gen. ?.Iitc!icll in the efiicc. At
10 o'clock the ferry yacht brought ever te
Governer's Island a gentleman who had
once himself tasted the bitter experience
of the soldier candidate for president
Gen. Geerge B. McClcllan. It was a kin
dred feeling, doubtless, that drew these
two men together.
' Well, genera!," was tin: visitor's only
give ling.
" Mac, I am glad to.-eeyeu," respond
ed Hancock.
"lam sorry.
"I am sorry, tej, but only for the people
and the party."

" Twin Sisters of the Keiiirinaiieii."
In the Inte meeting of the Reformed
church synod in Jlycrstewn, one morning
session was taken up mainly wit"! liie re
ceptien and disposing of tlie report of the
committee en minutes of synod. The first
item in this report related 1e the delegate
appointed te attend the sessions of the
" German Evangelical Lutheran Jlinistc
rium of Pennsylvania.' which was held in
Lancaster, en the 23d of 3Iay last. He re
ported that he had attended tiie sessions
of said ministcrium, and his greetings
were responded te by the president, lie
directed the attention of synod te the
following resolution adopted by that
body :
"licselccd, That the custom el appoint
ing delegates annually te ether nyneds be
discontinued, excepting the "Xew Yerk
ministcrium, with which this ministcrium
holds special relations ; and that delegates
te ether synods be appointed only when
special occasion or business demands it."
This item, brought te attention by the
committee en correspondence with sister
churches, was referred te a special com
mittee, who reported the following resolu
tion, which was adopted :
"Resolved, That it is with sincere re
gret, that we have observed for years a
growing indifference and alienctien, en
the part of that church, which we ac
knowledge ' a twin sister of the Refor
mation,' and with which wc stand related
in our congregations and families by se
many ties of kindred and friendship; and
this the mere, since v.-c are permitted te
experience within enr own communion, as
well as in the Protestant church at large, a
growing unity in answer te the constant
and all-prevailing intercession of the Lord
as recorded in Jehn xvii., chapter. Yet,
enr records bear testimony t'mt we have
discouraged the building of union
churches, only after we were thus re
quested, and new also withdraw the hand
of a cordial interchange of delegates,
when that hand is rejected. "Nevertheless
we proneunco no harsh 'damnamus,"
evermore, as Ged shall give us grace, a
heartv 'ainamus.' "
liruiikeii ana Disorderly.
All day yesterday there were gathered
in Centre square aud vicinity large crowds
of drunken and disorderly boys, shoaling
for their political favorites, swearing and
making threatening speeches. About a.
dozen negrees were conspicuously boister
ous, and en a dozen difl'ercut occasions
came in ceuilict with each ether and
also with white men. The belligerents
were se closely pressed by the crowd, how
ever, that they did net have a chance of
punishing each ether seriously. The po
lice were constantly en the alert and did all
they could te restore order without mak
ing arrests, but" they were finally obliged
te arrest a couple of the ring-leaders and
lock them up. The rowdies wcre jiven
much mere liceiS3 than they deserved, the
elliccrs overlooking ail miner offenses be
cause of the exuberant spirit and excite
ment always incident te a warmly con
tested election.

Last evening, between 8 and 0 o'clock,
an attempt was made te burn the large
frame barn, belonging te the Kelly estate,
situated en the west side of Shippeu street,
north of Orange. The incendiary had prc
pated a ball of cotton waste, saturated it
with coal oil aud set lire te it. Fottu Fettu
nately, Itlrs. "Win. K. Beard, who lives en
the opposite side of Shippen street, saw
the fire before it had gained any head
way, and it was extinguished with a few
buckets of water without raising a general
alarm.
Last, evening about 7 o'cleek the frame
dwelling house occupied by Jack Miller,
situated in the western part of Marietta,
was set en fire and burned te the ground,
together with its contents. 31illcrand his
family were absent at the time, being en a
visit te the lower part of the town. They
have no doubt tlsc house was purposely set
en tire, as there was no fire in it whfii
they left.

a feet-bridge that spanned a small stream
in the village. This se angered the ircn
tleman who had erected it that he refused
te put it back. As the crossing was thus
rendered dangerous, the citizens, without
distinction of party, held a meeting and
with drum and life marched te the scene.
The Democrats formed a line en one side
of the sticam an'd the Republicans en the

discourteous and reflected upon the mo
tives of the committee. He moved that
the communication be laid en the table.
Mr. Zcchcr seconded the motion, net
because he did net want the tieasurcrte

committee and Mr. Franklin's resolution
relating thereto y.erc pending in common
council.

defence ofthe city treasurer, but the pres
ident te'd him a motion te lay en the ta
ble was net debatable.
5Ir. Kerlns's Indliiati u.
Mr. Bering said that if council would
net give the treasurer a healing, another
tribunal would he found that would give
him. one. Mr. Bering bitterly denounced
the committee that had charged the
treasurer with defalcation, and putting en
his coat, and hat bid council "geed night, "
giving the city fathers te understand that
they would yet hear from him and the
t reasitrcr. whom he regarded as having been
shamefully wronged by council.
After waiting a few minutes for busi
ness from common council, .'elect council
adjourned.
The following it Treasurer Wclchaus" s
communication which select ceu.icil refused
te have read.
Tethe Honorable the SeU'r' uifl Cu.imnii (mi
rilt of Lancaster, J'a :
. GnxTj.r.Mnx
acting of the
councils held several months since, a reso
lution was adopted ctcating a committee
te investigate the accounts of the city
treasurer. Fer two months I anxiously
awaited tlie p'casme of that committee,
smarting all this time under the imputa
tion created by the resolution.
Your committee saw lit te place an ex
pert in my eilice, te whom I delivered
every book, paper aud liguie in my pos pes pos
sessien.trcating him with tlie utmost cour
tesy. Upen the completion of his work your
committee saw fit te withheld from me the
result of the expert's investigation, and
the fubstancc of their report, notwith
standing ten days had elapsed before the
meeting of councils; and I was net made
aware of the substance of the same until
there had been published in the public
press the announcement te the world that
there existed in my accounts a deficit of
$3.'!17.S1.
The privilege acceidcd the tram:, the
burglcr and even the murderer of a hear
ing before condemnation was denied me
in this case. Had your committee given
me live minutes' notice before their lepert
I am satisfied I could have explained te
their cnlkc satisfaction, the dilfcrencc:; be
tween Mr. Clarksen's figures and my own,
thereby saving much of the valuable time
et your honorable body, the wounding the
feelings of my family, and the avoiding a
scandal, in which, my reputation (my only
capital) has suffered severely. As a proof
of what I here assert, I state th fact that
Mr. Clarksen h;:s, since your I.i.-t meeting,
sc-atehcil the books for the purpose of ie ie
cenciling the differences between my
figures and his own (disavowing any
former intention of terming these differ
ences a deficit), and after allowing the
credit due me. he placed a lepert in my
hands, and a copy of the same in the hands
of the president-; of both branches of coun
cils, showing that instead of a deficit of
2,'17,ul, there is n credit due me of $1.1.1.
I Iiavc learned (with what degree of
truth I can net say) that an eifert would
be made at this meeting of councils te
further postpone this subject. Recognizing
that under some circumstances it might
he considered prcsumptieus in me te ad
dress your honorable body, but as a citizen
of this country, equal before the lav,- with
each of you. endowed with the same privi
leges, and under the same right that any
of you would claim, I ask that this matti-r
be disposed of te-nigh:. I couple the as!: as!:
ingef a favor with the right te demand a
speedy ending of this persecution a
right "due my family, my friends, my se
curities and the public, as well a3 myself.
It may be political strategy te postpone,
from time te time, a measure involving a
financial value, but, gentlemen, permit me
te remind you there is a mere serious
subject 111 your bauds te-night, the hand
ling of a reputation.
The citizens of Lancaster arc h.ekin" fer
your verdict. Either there is a deficit or
there is net. I ask you te face the issue
like men. and knowing the charges net te
be well-founded, let your vindication be
as open as was your accusation.
Believing that upon consideration of the
subject you will appreciate the jireat in
justice which has been done me.and, being
governed by a sense el right, you will at
ence relieve me of a charge which has net
and can net be sustained.
Respectfully submitted.

Common Council,
The following named members were
present :
Messrs. Albert. Barr.es, Beard, Cermcnv,
Davis, Downey. Franklin, Hartley Hays,
Uershey, Jehnsen. Liehtv. 3IcMulIcn.
bing, Smeych, Snyder. Sp'ringer. Storm Sterm
le.tz, White, Yackly, Levergood, Presi
dent. The standing committees were called
ever m regular order, but made no re
ports. Mr. Barnes, from the finance committee,
reported back with a negative recommen
dation the ordinance introduced at the
Oetebermccting of councils providing for
a temporary lean of $3,000 te pay for Bel
gian blocking Xerth Queen street from
Orange te Chestnut. Removed that the
ordinance be laid upon the table, as the
season is new tee far advanced te go en
with the work even if councils did pass the
ordinance, and in his judgment the better
plan would be te postpone the matter un
til spring, when prevision could be made
for this needed improvement in the annual
appropriation. The ordinance was conse
quently tabled.
The City Treasurer's Ai-ceiiiitii.
M -. Barnes presented also the report of
the special committee appointed te inves
tigate the accounts of the city treasurer
aud receiver of taxes, together "with expert
Clarksen's statement of the condition of
said accounts, which had been acted upon
in select eeum-il at its October meeting
(aud primed in full in the I:."i'Ci.i.ic.i:xct:n
at that time), and moved that common
council concur in the resolution of select
council, direct ing the finance committee t
demand from the city treasurer the sum
of $2,117.'5.1. shown te be due by Mr.
Clarksen's examination, and if tlV; said
amount is net promptly paid te place the
claim in the hands of the city solicitor for
collection.
There being an evident disposition
among the ceuncihiicn te knew something
mere about, this rather ' complicated
case," Mr. Barnes, who is a member of
the special cemmitter and of the finance
committee, stated that supplemental ex
amination of the treasurer's books had
revealed the existence of some S!)00, which
by a clerical error the treasurer had omit emit
ted te charge himself with, but which he
acknowledged his readiness at any time te
make geed, and which reduced tlieameuut
Of the alleged deficit te about $l,ii09.
Mr. Beard, looking very hard at Presi
dent Levergood, wanted te knew if this
investigating committee had finished its
labors and whether the report new under
consideration was a final one.
Dr. Levergood, who is a member of the
committee, requested Dr. Davis te take
the chair, and 111 answer te Mr. Beard's
query, stated at some length the manner
in which the discrepancy had evidently oc
curred and hew the committee had dis
covered it. He did net think the com
mittee would have any further report
upon the subject te which it had devoted
careful attention. Dr. Levergood stated
that the inquiry had been conducted in
geed faith. The committee looking tethe
interests of the city had patiently examined
into the treasurer's accounts, which had
appeared te ba some $2,i09 short, or as
subsequently transpired by the discovery or
nine hundred and soma odd dollars of taxes
which the treasurer had accidentally ne
glected te charge up, about $1,100 sheit.
Dr. Levergood protested that hi;; motives
as a member of this investigating commit
tee and as president of this body were fer
tile welfare of the city. He wanted te de
his duty, and only his duly, and in this
connection perhaps it would net be out of
place for him te mention the conduct
of some of the members of coun
cil "notably of his geed looking
friend from the Fifth ward," who with the
requisite number of colleague;; had signed
a lequcstand transmitted it te him as pre
sident common council calling for a spe
cial meeting of council r. act upon this
very matter, but who when the niht of
meeting arrived managed te get as far as
the curbstone, where his sjii::e suddenly
weakened, his knees smote together, aud he
found himself physically incapable of
mounting the stairway teattend the meet
ing v;hich he had been instrumental in
calling, and which was obliged t- adjourn
for lack of a quorum.
Mr. Beard inquired whether.this investi
gation into the treasurer's accounts did
net extend back for period of eighteen
months.
The president said it did.
Mr. Beard then said it looked te him as
if tiie gentlemen who had been the
prime movers in the securing el this spe
cial committee had either neglected their
former trust as members of the finance
committee when they siirued audits of the
treasurer's account dcclaiing them te be
collect, or else the present inquiry was
actuated by malice.
Mr. Hays moved that the resolution be
referred back with instructions te the in
vestigating committee te report te coun
cils the exact amount of tlr: treastuer'h
deficiency.
Mr. McMullcn it-marked that he want
cd t'i scj justice done. If the city treas
urer is one penny nheit in bis accounts he
was in favor of forcing him te pay up ;
but it would b-v absurd for councils te
proceed agiia.-t the trca.-urcr b-fere the;,

urer's appareu; dctL't !:.-' : b nearly a

Dr. Davis took the .:.;.. view of the
cise and was happ". ti stvemi Mr. Hays's
motion, lie did ne: want te nhield the
guilty, but he wanted t give the accused
a fair show. Tni. report :1.1s been made te
councils without giving tin: tiea.suier anj
opportunity te explain : he Imped there
were cueugu gentlemen present te vote 10
give the asai!cd eilicer a chance te de
fend himself before legal proceedings ate
initiated.
Mr. Beard again aro;e te express his
opinion tint net one of the
special committee knew anything about
the matter upon which they se
learnedly reported te councils. Mr.
Bcaid said he himsx-'fhad carefully looked
ever the long array of figures and con
fessed that when he had finished he didn't
knew anything about it, and he believed
Mr. Clarksen, the expert, was a little
mixed himself. Common criminals aie
always given ;i chance ; let this accused
official be accorded the same benefit.
Mr. Franklin expressed a general con
currence in the views of the gentlemen
who had preceded him. lie desired te ex
cept te th-j gratuitous remarks concerning
the geed looking member from the Fifth
ward which the piesident hid let fail. Mr.
Franklin was net aware thrit his spine was
weak or that he wa'jalllieted with quriking
knee joints, and it occurred te him that
the president didn't knew what :: was
talking about. As a councilman he pto pte
pnscd te fulfil the obligations of his e ith
without fear or favor, and the cause of his
absence from the late special meeting, te
which the chair had alluded, was net that
i
s
