Towanda, Thursday, October 19, 1865.
THE RESULT H THIS COUNTY.
The result of the late election in this
County is a most triumphant vindication of
correct principles, and of the integrity of
Republican organization. We have had to
contend not only with the viudictiveness of
Copperheadism but with the prejudices ex
cited by recreant Republicans who sought
to gratify their personal feelings and break
down the Republican organization. The
result shows how true the voters are to
their principles, and to the men who boldly
assert and zealously advocate the truths
which the public acknowledge as correct.
The special object of assault was out
candidate for Senator, Hon. GEORGE LANDON.
The malice of his enemies has procured for
him the most emphatic and gratifying en
dorsement at the hands of the people. The
attempt to defeat him by an avowed friend
of the Administration has proved a miser
able failure. lie will take his seat in the
Senate of this State, endorsed and backed
by the overwhelming voice of his constitu
ents, as an honest, able, true man. We
predict for him such a career of usefulness,
as will utterly sweep away every vestige
of the prejudice which has been raised by
the unscrupulous efforts of his enemies.
We are unable to give the official table
of votes. The following are the majorities:
Auditor General —Hartranft '2938
Surveyor General —Campbell 2868
President Judge —Streeter 5303
Senator —Landon 1483
Representatives —Gri mi e 11 3013
do. —Kinney 3013
District Attorney —Da vies 2385
Treasurer —Van Fleet 3072
Commissioner —M'Kee 7332
A udiior —Elliott 2958
Surveyor— Newell 5210
In Susquehanna County, Mr. LANDON lias
1238 majority. Wyoming gives about 200
majority for SHEPARO —leaving a majority
in the district for LANDON of about 2500.
THE ELECTIONS.
The result of the October elections has
been the glorious triumph of the Republi
can party. In this State, notwithstanding
the most adverse influences,the Union State
Ticket has nearly or quite 25,000 majority.
Hon. JOHN CESSNA, Chairman of the Union
State Central Committee, announces that
the result of the late election in Pennsyl
vania has not been correctly reported.—
Forty-two counties (official) overcome the
majority of 1862, and leave the Union can
didates a clear majority of 17,000. The
reported majorities in the balance of the
State, 24 counties, gave from 5,000 to 7,000
Union majority. The majority on the home
vote will certainly exceed that of President
Lincoln on the home and army vote by sev
eral thousand. The Union party will have
two-thirds of both branches of the Legisla
ture. The Union party gains in 38 of 42
counties officially returned.
Perhaps the most gratifying and unex
pected result in the State is the election of
L. I). SHOEMAKER, as Senator,in the Luzerne
district, over STANLEY WOODWARD, son of
Judge Woodward, by a majority of 225.
OHlO. —Returns from all the counties have
been received Cox's majority is 28,287,
while the average majority on the State
ticket is about 30,000.
The Legislature stands, Union, 25 ; Dem
ocratic, 12 in the Senate, and Union, 70 ;
Democratic, 35 in the House. Majority on
joint ballot, 48.
The soldiers' vote will not be counted
until next month.
IOWA. —The majority for Gov. STONE, who
boldly advocated negro suffrage, will be
15,000. The balance of the Republican
ticket is elected by nearly 20,000 majority.
INDIANA. —An Election was held through
out Indiana last Tuesday, but for local and
county offices only. The vote was gener
ally light, but the result a most overwhelm
ing Union triumph. Even Allen, long the
banner Democratic county, which last Fall
gave McCh.llau 4,932 votes to 2,244 for
Lincoln, is now said to have gone Republi
can, by an almost universal stampede of
the Germans, who constituted so large a
share of its voting population. Fort Wayne,
its capital, which gave over 2,000 Demo
cratic majority at either election last year,
has now given a Union majority.
committee appointed by the South
Carolina Convention to intercede for Execu
tive clemency in behalf of Jefferson Davis
and other leading rebels Thursday had an
extended interview with President Johnson,
and an important and interesting conversa
tion took place The President was very
frank, plain and straightforward in his re
marks. He assured them that no disposi
tion for persecution or thirst for blood ex
isted on the part of the government, but
said that if treason was committed there
ought to be some test to determine the
power of the government to vindicate it
self and to punish the crime, even if par
don were interposed afterwards. In the
pardoning business, he maid, as in many
other human affairs, there can be no fixed
rule. Discrimination must be exercised,
and the matter must be proceeded with
gradually and according as circumstances
will authorize. The members of the delega
tion said that the people of their State had
accepted in good faith the results of the
war, that the convention had emancipated
the negroes, and that they felt sure proper
laws for their protection would be passed,
but expressed great fears of the freedmen
becoming vagrants. The President thought
that there was not so much danger of this
as they apprehended if the colored man
was allowed the privileges of the civil
courts, and if laws were passed affording
him the same protection of person and pro
perty as was secured to the whites. The
South Carolinians expressed the utmost
confidence in the President and gratification
with what he had said, but left without any
promise of a change in the treatment of
Jeff. Davis.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The Chicago Republican publishes a list
of the names of th • members of the next
Congress. The S iate is represented by
38 Republicans ai. :. 11 Democrats, with one
seat vacant in lowa. Four Southern States
have elected Union Senators, but whether
they will be received or not is a question
yet to be determined. Iu the House there
exists three vacancies in the delegations of
loyal States, one caused by the appoint
ment of Mr. Gooch, of Massachusetts, to
the office of Surveyor of the port of Bos
ton, one by the appointment of Mr. Web
ster, of Maryland, as Collector of Haiti
more, and one by the fact that the result of
the election in Nevada has not been heard
of ; but all these vacancies will soon be
tilled by loyal men of a so-called radical
complexion, most probably. According to
the party division that existed during the
war, the House now stands one hundred
forty Republicans to forty one Democrats.
From the present indications all the rebel
States, except, perhaps, Texas, will have
gone through the forms of reconstructing
their Constitution and electing members of
both Houses of Congress before the second
Monday of December, when the session
opens. Should all the States now without
representatives, whose Senators and Repre
sentatives, are yet to be elected, choose
Democrats, or those who will act with the
so-called Northern Democracy, as it is to
be expected they will do, and should they
all be admitted, the Senate' will then con
tain forty seven Republicans and twenty
seven Democrats, and the House of Repre
sentatives would contain one hundred and
fifty Republicans to ninety-two Democrats.
FOREIGN NEWS. —The Nova Seotian, from
Liverpool, Oct. 5, via Londonderry, Oct. 6,
passed Father Point Sunday evening, bring
ing five days later news from Europe.
A meeting has been called at London of
persons interested in securities of several
of the Southern States. The Daily News
says the creditors would he willing to meet
the indebted States half way, if the latter
are willing to fund the arrears of dividends.
The London Times indignantly denies
the correctness of the list of Confederate
bondholders which has been published iu
American papers. Mr. Gladstone, the edi
tor of The Morning Tost, Mr. Laird, and
others also deny that they ever held any of
the bonds.
Important American torpedo experiments
took place at Chatham on Oct. 4, in the
presence of the Lords of the Admirality.
The total of the Fenian arrests was
about 200.
Count Bismark has had an interview
with Louis Napoleon, to which great politi
cal significance w is attributed.
Secretary cf the Treasury McCulloch, in
a speech on national finance, which he de
livered at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on last
Wednesday, said that, while he regarded
an exclusively metallic currency as an im
practicable thing, lie looked upon an irre
deemable paper currency as an evil which,
though circumstances may render it neces.
sary for a time, should never be permanent
ly adhered to as a matter of policy. Our
present inconvertible currency, lie said
which was a necessity of the war, now
that peace has been restored, should be
brought up to the specie standard as soon
as practicable, and be saw no way of doing
this but by withdrawing a portion of it
from circulation. He regards the extreme
high prices now prevailing as indicative of
an unhealthy condition of the business of
the country, and believes that unless Con
gress, at the next session, shall authorize
the funding of the legal tender notes, we
shall ultimately be visited by widespread
bankruptcy.

STRANGE SCENE IN A HOUSE OF MOURNING
—A DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE. —The St.
Louis llepublican, of the 30th, has the fol
lowing :
John Redman, a colored man, died (as
was supposed) at an early hour yesterday
morning, at his residence over the grocery
store, on the north-east corner of Franklin
avenue and Twelfth street. A coffin and
a shroud were procured, and the colored
corpse, after being washed, shaved and
dressed in the burial clothes, was laid out
in the coffin. While his bereaved wife was
ringing her tears out of a bandanna hand
kerchief, and numerous friends, "mute with
grief," were sitting around the dead body,
talking about what a good man he was,
Mr. Redman suddenly raised himself bolt
upright in his coffin, with the majesty of
death in his cold face.
Moving his not entirely sightless orbs
around upon the company of mourners, his
clay lips began to chatter some unintelligi
ble stuff about the other world. The result
of this hideous performance was to upset
the whole assemblage with sudden horror,
the female friends fainting and tumbling
into each others arms at the sight of the
ghost, the fnen themselves caving in, and
with dilated eyes rushing huriedly out
of the room. Mrs. Redman, the distressed
widow, was among the number who faint
ed. When she came to she ran out of the
room aud out of the house, and nothing
could induce her to return during the day,
notwithstanding she was assured that her
husband had come to be conscious, and that
the doctor thought he might recover. We
are not informed as to the nature of Red
men's disease, but are informed that he was
attended by an intelligent physician, who
regards the circumstance of his sudden
restoration, when, to all appearances, he
had been a lifeless man, as something al
most preternatural.

TRIAL OF WIRZ-
Benjamin F Lilley, of Pennsylvania, who
testified for the defence, was the principa 1
witness examined before the Wirz Militar;
Commission Friday. He was transferred
from the stockade to Wirz's office, where
he acted as a clerk. He had never known
Wirz to shoot or beat men so that they di
ed, though he was cross and excitable, but
knew of his condemning as unfit for use
provisions sent to the prison, and threaten
ing to have the senders court martialed. —
This witness made some statements regard
ing the heartless and cruel conduct of the
rebel surgeons, and testified to the vaccine
matter being impure. He had seen men
die in the prison pen for want of food, and
the majority were suffering from the same
cause. He had seen one of the doctors
strike men in the face with his heavy pis
tol merely for talking to the guards, and
another steal tiie buttons off the clothes of
a sick prisoner. Numerous instances were
given of the brutality of the man Duncan,
one of the prison guards, whom the defence
introduced some days ago as a witness,and
who was locked up by order of the court
ou charge of inhumanly treating and kill
iug prisoners. Duncan appears to have
been a kind of adviser for Wirz, and sug
gested to the latter different forms of pun
ishment and torture forthe national soldiers.
Bucking and the ball and chain were Dun
can's prescriptions for men who spoke in
favor of President Lincoln.
F. W. llille, who was also a prisoner at
Audersonville, was produced by the prose
cution to impeach the evidence of Reynolds,
alias Ross, alias Fechuor, who testified for
the defence on the 4th and sth inst., and
told the wonderful stories about the busi
ness activity in the stockade. Mr. llille
said that Fechuor was a gambler and sut
ler in the prison, was known by all as a
mean man, that he would cheat his com
rades out of all they had, and that he refus
ed food to a dying man because they had
no money to pay for it.
There aTe indications that the trial is
drawing to a close, both the prosecution
and defence intimating on yesterday that
they hud only a few more witnesses to ex
amine.
During the Wirz trial on Saturday an al
tercation between counsel arose which the
court was obliged to terminate. The evi
dence on both sides was declared conclu
ded, and an adjournment for two weeks
demanded by Mr. Baker to prepare the pris
oner's defense. The court refused to grant
the application, and adjourned the Commis
sion until Wednesday next. .Mr. Baker
would not accept any period less than two
weeks.
TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT —Two PER
SONS KILLED AND SEVERAL WOUNDED. —Two
fatal accidents occurred on the Philadelphia
A Erie Railroad on Saturday last. No. 1
occurred uear Watsontown, early on Sat
urday morning. We have been unable to
obtain full particulars.
The second accident occurred about three
miles below this place, in Armstrong town
ship. We have made every effort to get at
the facts of this case, and have learned the
following particulars ; It seems that some
how the Erie express train, which was due
here at 4:20 P. M., aud was some minutes
late, ran into a freight train half a mile
this side of the switch. A tremendous crash
ensued, which piled freight, passengers and
wrecks of ears in one heap of ruins. A
brakemau on the freight train was instant
iy killed, and Mr. BECKER, Baggage Master
of the Express train, died the next morn
ing. We have learned the names of the
following wounded persons, from a physi
cian on the train who assisted in adjusting
some of the limbs and dressing the wounds
of others Five or six were severely woun
ded, besides tiie names given below ; Mrs.
C. Rhoades, of Lewisburg, had her thigh
broken—a very severe fracture. Iter sis
ter and sister-in-law were severely injured,
but no bones broken. Mrs. Walsh, of Pier
pout, N. Y., severely injured—her recovery
very doubtful ; Mrs. W. Sneden.Red Bank,
N. J , severe contusion of head and limbs ;
Rev. Dr. James Watson, Milton, leg broken;
James Warren, Milton, svetely injured ;
W. II- Holstein, Norrietowu, slightly ;
(J. Standi!!', Tenn., head badly cut and body
bruised ; brakesman of express Train, foot
cut. The engineers and fireman of both
trains escaped with slight injuries by jump
ing from their engines. The front passen
ger car, iu which the ladies were, being a
complete wreck, took fire, aud it was with
difficulty the ladies were rescued. The fire
was extinguished by some of the passen
gers and employees carrying water in their
hats, no buckets being at hand.— WUlinms

DISINTERMENT OF SOLDIERS' BODIES. -It is
announced from Washington that persons
desiring the body of a deceased soldier
must be prepared to make an affidavit be
fore a justice of the peace or a notary pub
lie to the effect that lie is duly authorized
to receive said body, and at the same time
state the company and regiment to which
he formerly belonged. All applications
should be made at the office of James M.
Moore, Assistant Quartermaster, where a
record is kept of the deaths of a large pro
portion of those who have fallen during
the war, their company, regiment and rank,
together with their conjugal condition, resi
dence of widow or relative, cause of death,
and exact locality of their graves. The
affidavit must be left at Captain Moore's
office, where he will receive an order for
exhuming the body. The Government
makes no charge for furnishing all infor
mation relative to the interment of deceased
soldiers, but after it has granted the neces
sary permission to exhume their bodies,
relinquishes all care and supervision, and
the corpse must bo taken from the ceme
tery by private conveyance, and prepared
for shipment to its destination by the same
means. It is essential that a body be so
prepared as to prevent any unpleasant odor,
which can be done by means of disinfect
ing powder, or by sealing it in a metallic
or air-tight deodorizing ease.
EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH. —A comprehen
sive scheme for benefiting the South by sup
plying it with labor has been devised in the
East, Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts,
being at the head of it. The project con
templates the establishment of a central
office in New York, where the owners of
laud in the slave States can become ac
quainted with Northern purchasers, and
thus a stream of emigration be organized
which will fill certain sections of the South
with a population having Northern energy
and ideas. Branch offices will be institu
ted in all the former slave States. In this
way it is hoped to "reconstruct" the South
ern States as socially as well as politically.
The Southern States themselves are doing
something of the same kind, and to the
same end. It is proposed in several of
them to appoint a State Commissioner, with
power to ascertain and advertise all lands
for sale, to open information offices, to dis
tribute descriptive pamphlets, and to sta
tion emigration agents in the chief ports of
Europe.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
PHH.ADEI.PHIA, Oct. 15, 18(55.
Yesterday afternoon, as the day express
train going East on the Pennsylvania Rail
road was within four miles of this city an .
axle of the third passenger car broke, part
of which struck the bottom of the car near
the front end and tore out part of the bot
tom, precipitating the occupants of three
seats on each side to the ground, and they
were run over by the wheels of the rear
truck. Eight persons were killed outright,
and another died some hours afterward.
