GOODRICH. S. W. ALVORD. Towanda, Thursitar, Itov. 7, 1872. THE VOICE OF TEE WHOLE PEO. At this writing, Wednesday morn ing, we have no details of the eleo fions, which • came off yesterday. Enough . has been reSeived„ however, to make it certain that Gam has carried all the Northern States, by majorities as large as those given LINCOL' in 1864. New Yor k t is re ported fifty thcasabd, Innen larger I majority than the most sanguine dared hope for ; that State being the home of the coalition candidate, his friends entertained no doubt of an easy victory there. But in New York, as all over the North, the people de termined to place the seal of condem nation on the unprincipled and rot ten combination through which Mr. GeEELEr was foist upon them as a I candidate. ' The old Philosopher will now re= tire to the shades of Chappaqua, fully impressed ,with the conviction that the Republico party is still actuated by j»-inciple, and that however high may be the standing of any man, he cannot command their suffrages un less he stands squarely on the great platform of principles for which our forefathers fought,. and which were re-affirmed and established forever in our recent bloody - and protracted struggle. ' Gen. GnA3-r will now continue his wise, humane, just and economical administration for another four years, for which the people will be devout- ly thankful. Before the close of his second term, the great burden of the nation, bequeathed by the Democrat ic party, the public debt, will be more than half wiped ont ; and, as during the past four years, . -taxation will be gradually decreased, and we as a people be fully established in a career of prosperity and greatness never witnessed by any other nation upon earth. For the . past six months the RE PORTER has heen almost entirely giv en up to the discussion of political questions, to the exclusion of our or dinary miscellaneous matter. While politics is not as palatable to most of our readers as the general news and gossip of the day, we trust the coarse of the REPORTER has received the sympathy and sanction of a large majority of them. While the cam paign just ended so happily for the cause of Republicanism, and the best interests of fie country has been one of more than ordinary warmth, our readers will bear witness that these columns have been free from slang and personal abuse, add that nothing unfit for amily reading has found place in them. Now that the election is over wp shall again devote ourselves to the Current news of the day and endeavori l to furnish, through the REPORTED., abandant information on county, State and National affairs, as heretofore. 'the paper will con-, tinue _the course it has pursued, and we shall endeavor to keep pace with improvements in our line. We ask our friends who endorse our course to aid us in extending the circula tion of the REPORTER until it shall find its way into every, Republican family in the county. Our circula tion is already large, but we are am bitious to extend it. With the aid of our friends in the several town ships it can be greatly increased. There is no good reason why the RE roirrEit should not have 6,000 suh scribers 'in a county like Bradford. Will not some earnest Republican in each township aid us in increasing our list to thia.number? ‘-:•.,• r , 'Alkrt r f . ,•;,7 1 ej .1 .1 1 4, it 0 , f EMI TO THE READER. CONGRESSIONAL The resignation of Judge 'Ram to take his seat upon. the. Supreme Bench, on the first of next month, will leave a vacancy in this Congres sional district. There appear to be various opinions as to what is the best course to be pursued. For our own part we have inclined to the view that it would be better not to hold an election, but permit the dis trict to remain ,unrepre4ented during the, short session, in as -much as a new member could hardly familiar ize'himself with the business daring the few_ weeks he would be al lowed to sit ; besides, such a course would save the trouble and expense of an extra election. But, if there is no alternative but to elect a succes-- sor to Judge !awe; it appears to us that Dr. STRAWBRIDGE should be the nominee. He has -already been chosen to re_present us in the forty ' fourth Congress, and could probably serve us better for the balance of Judge MEncru's unexpired term than anyother new -man. ...What say our Mends iu the lower end of the dis trict? THE DEBT STATESEMT. —The official public debt statemt for the month October shows a reduction of $5,- 288,117 32. Last month the re duction was much larger, exceeding $10,000,000,. but the October pay ments and drafts have been unusu aly heavy, which accounts for the ; difference between September and October in The amount of reduction. The policy of the administration from first to last since the inaugura , tion of Gen. GRANT in Meech, 1869, has been to reduce the debt each month as largely trs . the condition • of the Treasury would admit; and this . which the country appnives, will be adhered - to.

Mu. tenon :—A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse, as per Richard Itt. was never tally appre ciatxxi in Bostoh,till th Stith of 06- tober.• Thi tuber.. october, A. D., 1872, • 113 one of those days long to be.re membered as it marks an 'epoch in the history of Boston, and brings us back to sights and doings of ye an cient days. • As we walk *. through the city on the above date, we can't ride), we find . the horse •is the engrossing theme of conversation and_tbat all classes, high and lo', politO and vul gar are , talking horse ; and all have a deep interest, for these are the days " that try men's soles," and as the above date ' was the first 'one when those soles had to be tried, and as at that date the Canadian Horse Epi- demie was at its height let me men tion briefly some of its eirecis in this city. By a friend tho *Ater has been furnished with the folloWing brief account of the ravages of the malady: Sick horses in 93 stables, 3784 ; convalescent, 189 ; fully recoverecl,4; fatal, 13 ; as yet showing no signs of the disease, 160. In the above are included only liv ery and _private *bibs with one or two truckmen or city express teams. The writer in. going to his place of business walked over two miles through the busiest pottiOn of the city, and by an exact count of nil the horses in sight in any or ;all direc tions the figures reached 22, and of those which we passed near ex ough to ascertain the fact, there was not one btetirhat was sick The Metropolitan Railway usually run 300 cars, while on the 26th they only run 20. The Middlesex, Union, South Boston, and in fact all but the above suspended entirely.and kept their horses in the stables away from the dampness and showers. Not a single line of omnibussee is running, and scarcely a : lack or carriage of hire is to be seen, and, if 'out at all, only so on urgent call; and the streets present an appearance rival ing the most qtiet Standay: Various means were resorted to to supply_ the places left vacant, and horse carts and wheelbarrows are brought into reqnsition for carrying out light freight, while men with the .aid of long ropes drag light express wagons, and remind us of the days of yore when we used to run to the fires with the " machine." Some of our merchants have hitched up oxen and as the poor beasts wend their way over the round stones tot our streets the sight is ludicrous in the extreme, and although we , cannot but pity the poor, beast, we have a fresh laugh as each successive-team .ap pears in view. Care -drives nnilS in our coffins no doubt, while each merry laugh draws one out. The Mason ik Hamlin, Organ Co. sent some organs to the wharves i to lie , shipped and the wagon was drawli by about 36 of,their workmen. A large load of furniture passed through Dock Sq. drawn by about 20 men ; the journals of the day have sent issues to the depot in the same man n; while as if to wind up the day in . a merry manner, one of the dalies sent its evening dition (Boston Her ald) to the depot with ,n , string team of some three-scOre newsboys who seemed to enjoy being horses,.while the driver has a grin on his face that would help Darwin's theory consid erably. . One dollar an hour was charged and readily obtained for the use of a hand cart. Ono milkman shows what he knows about milk by drdwing his carriage and dispensing the milk to his customers as usual, while to oth ers, as a matter of course, ho had " none to spare." Meats cannot be procured at any distance from the large markets for the dealers have no means of bring ing it to their stores, and nearly ev ery kind of store or trade paat re plenishes its stock every day have been obliged to partially or entirely suspend. - . , The worst feature of all is the ef fect on funerals, for even for this purpose no one - will allow their horses to go out. During the day two funerals came under our notice. In one case'a horse was procured `to draw the hearse; and a brother of the deceased availed himself of a seat beside the driver and thus alone was permitted to see his sister consigned to the grave, while other friends and relatites were deprived even this on account of the distance being too great too walk. In the other case noorso was to be obtained, and 'the hearse was (l ih drawn to the grave an .back, some four-and alhali miles distant by men. Every one seems inclined to makel the best Of the situation. At the? , present time matters have changed but little, and our streets are still quiet ; the horse s worse for it, while 't have been thl i worked are now those that have StoOd u used in the stable are gaining slowl. . The South Boston ar Co. have not run a single fcar as yet, and are still unable to do so ; hile the otle: er companies are ranni g_ about one-' twentieth their usual number, and the horses are daily grbwing worse. Ox teams are plentiful) now in our streets, and what must be moved is done by them. The various railroads ; leading from Boston are refusinr , b 'to take freight as it is not removed from the depots where sent, and a lull in business must follow. On the evening of the 30th Boston was enlivened . by the music, torches, and fine display of banners, trans parencies, illuminations and pyro technics incident to a grand Repub lican torchlight procession :which numbered 13,000 in line, with 34 bands and 35 drum corps, and which was witnessed by over 100,000 men and women, boys and girls, young and old, in the vicinity of the Com mon alone, while the streets were crowded the whole route of the pro cession, many thousands marching with and following it the entire 'dis tance. One hour and twenty min utes were actually consumes by the line in passing the Tremont , House. The writer would like to give more of the particulars Of this procession, but owing to the already great length of thiS letter mast defer the pleasure. Yours truly, 11. R.

In the following extract from a private letter received by a gentle man in Washington _city _from Hon. P. ClLlyroN, of Georgia, a fact is giv en that we do not remember to have seen stated before. It is one pecu liary creditable to the humane feelings of General Ga.kyr ant therefore de serves the widest currency. The fact that a Democratic opponent of General GRANT Brings tho incident to light, and that it reaches the country through another gentleman who has been prominent in the Dem ocratic ranks up to this canvass, lends additional interests to its pub lication. Says Mr. C.: I write nothing and say nothing in connection with this Presidential contest that I am not willing for the world to see and know. " Having -a mind conscious of right, I turn pale at no accusation." With all the prejudices of a Southern man to General Grant, growing out of our defeat in the attempt at establishing an independent confederacy, I went to the investigation of his military and Presidential history, not with that even balance of the scales of justice that every man ought to have who is honestly seeking the truth • besides, the active men of the political party with which I had always acted were furious for his defeat. The investigation proved that I had done General Grant great injus tice in suppocting that he had any inimical feelings toward the South, the home of not only my birth,,but of my heart and all its affection. The investigation further developed to my -mind that his character - as a war rior and statesman- was second onl • to that of Washington in all that constitutes goodness and greatness. Mr. Stephens had told me that Gen. Grant during his military career had never - signed a death ',warrant. It is the only instance in history ex cept the case of Pericles, the- great general of Greece. It is said of him that when those standing about his death bed enumerated his .noble acts and `counted up the number of vic tories he had won When General of the Athenian armies, he told the speakers that he " wondered they should so highly praise him for what `many other captains had achieved as well, while they forgot to mention the best and most noteworthy thing ho had done, which was, that no Athenian had - ever " wore a black .gown through his occasion." In Pericle.4 this fact was the consolation of a dying hour, showing the im portance he placed upon it. To General Grant I have no doubt it is the brightest recollection over the waste and carnage which necessity impelled and duty imposed. EMI —A Ousfors Lorsurr.—A curious lawsuit is Ow in progress at St. toms, grow ing Ott of a bided of Attain that Might in fal hinds form the basis ota thrilling romance. On the Stild of September,lB6B, the steamboat Robert J. Campbell, bound tit l e. Louis to 'New. Or'eans, was attacks} guerrillas at aliliken's Bend, end burned., Among the pas seug?rs was Mrs. Cooley, widow lady; and her two children, a boy of eight and a girl of sir years. Lairs. Hanson was also on board, who had a daughter about the same ago as Mrs. Cooley's, and same hiiPta. When the boat burned all the passengers were 'soon strug gling in th ‘ e water, lad James O'Brian, the mate, saw his captain striting to nit a woman and little girl, though the burden was evident-, ly too much for him. O'Brien took the girl and delivered her, upon landing, to Major Rob inson, of the Federal army, stating that tho mother had been drowned. Mrs. Cooley was -laved, but after a careful search for many days could And no trace of hee.hildrerp. Major Robinson retained the child in for some few Weeks, and then intrusted her to .his pa rents in Ohio. Soon after, Rev. J. D. Finly, of ile., visited tho Robinson,, Snd be- Eohiing interested interested in the child, asked permission to adopt her, which was granted. In 1867 a history of her case was published. , which Mrs. Cooley, who had become Mrs. Fer ry, reading; concluded the child was her's. She failed, upon inspection, to recognize her, how evei, and returned home.. Lest month, Jetties O'Brien, of whom nothing had been he ard in the meantime, met and recognized Mrs. l 'Ferry as the woman whom be had seen in the water with the girl. and told her that the child was her's. Mr. Finly refused to surrender her on on such evidence. A court of arbitration was called, which decided against Mrs. Ferry.' Sho appealed, and her case is now pending before the Supreme Court of Missouri. —Tim GRIND DUKE.--Less than a year ago, that errant Prince, the Grand Duke Alexis, was in the great mitre of republican ism, adopting Yankee customs and falling in ore with Yankee inatitntiens, with an abandon • that was quite delightful. Since then ho has drifted with regal leisnro around the world, touching occasionally upon a communicative point, and then dropping out of sight again for a season. At last advices , he was hobnobbing with the Maharajah of Lahore, and receiving at the hands of that monarch the entertainment common to the. country. The principal feto was ae elaborately arranged cniatest brtween a tiger and a butialO, most appropriate in its conception, considering the taste for blood that the Grand Duke acquired in chasing the bison of our plains, but injUdieiously carried out. To make the combatants equal, the tiger was giv en opium and the buffalo eri-ack. This com pensation arrangement was somewhat over done. When the certain rose, the tiger tried to sneak away, but the intoxicated buffalo was eager for the . fray. He charged his felihe ene my and knocked.her about fearfallY, to which elle made very little opposition. At last, by means of a rope and pully, the tiger was raised by the neck and let fall upon the buffalo's back. This was worse than icorks front soda bottles with a c. , rliscrew ; some 'little clawing andchewin7; was done from this post of adva.r.- tag,e, but the enraged beast soon shook off his burden and butted her to death. The transfer of the royal Itifssians in the Maharajah's barge and the subsequent fetes and banquets at the .palace, were more suspicions. His majesty drank the health of his royal guest in it truly . colin — Opolitan way, and the reply of Alexis was in the brief but enflicieut phrases with which his entertainers in this country are fausdis.r. —RE,3Ir.DY FOR TI 1E HORSE DISE NsF.-- -In addition to . precautions and remedies alrcatli 'published by as in the ItaPORTET:, we g: Vt, to ,day two recipes which have been used with great success in New York, and which arc rec ommended by most reliable authority: uz. Spirits of Hartshorn. 2 oz. Tinctire of Arnica. 14 pints . Oil of Hemlock. pinta Alcohol. • Bathe neck and under Jaws. Also, ten (10) drops of aconite on tongue threo times a day. The other is the course pursued in sonic of the stables containing valuable trotting stock : Bandage the limbs and soak .Lantlages with spirits. littb the throat turpentine. Mix a small port' of ipecac and tartar emetic with roolai , ses; pin a few drops on the tongue every lialtheur. —Au exchange tells us that " the barbarous custom of piercing ladies' ears for ear-sings is rapidly lat'ing abolished. Several very ingenious arrangements for -fastening in these articles of jewelry without the usual bur g:cal operation aro now sold .at the jewelry sh.,ps and very extensively worn." Woman will have the ear-ring with or without pain, prefer ring it naturally without. It is. a useless orna ment, and it has always been aivonder to us that it was• not long ago cast aside. There is some excuse for the bracelet and breastpin,snd neither inflicts pain nor disfliorts a member of the body. The ear-ling does both, and since tho_rap for cheap jewelry; the brass of which it is in the"main composed has p isoued many a feminine,car. The nose-ring is equally par donable. ASIIINGTON, D. C., has learned by experience how receptions should be oo t i. ducted. 110 w they aro to be managed this sea son is explained by the Capff 1. We copy the paragraph. It msy give some hiats to our failionables, : At entertainments this winter flowers will form the principal item of expense at large "jams" of -which we hope there will be but few. There will never be tires kindled. Wo have vivid recollections of a superb ball given, last season, and the entire, enjoymcbt of the evening being ruined by hugh tires in furnaces and grates. maa recenons. The grates should be screened with large ferns—which arc always purchasable at the green-houses—se flail in with mess as to resemble a garden bank. Into this flowers fastened to wires are stuck. Tho mantel-pieces aro fitted with a wire tray hav ing a tin bottom, and into this flowers are put in great profusion; while vines arc trained over the mirror or pictures. Console tables are arranged in like manner. On the staircase, be low the banister, flowers, moss, and ferns aro placed so as to give the effect of growing there. In the ladies' dressing-room loose flowers should be placed on a tray in abundance; so that the guests may add a bud, a rose, or a leaf to their toilets. These ideas are practicable, and the effect of such profusion.of flowers cannot but be beauti ful. The doing away with fires may be an im• provement, but we have our doubts. Allegan.); - county is having a struggle over the equalization of her tax system, and has already acom plished a good result in thafdirection. The manner of appraising real estate for taxation is all wrong. Valuable property which is paying heavy rents, is never fairly valued by the assessor, while tenements owned by men of no fortune, are valued most at what they would sell for, and the tax levied ae cordingly. A -generallaw, equalizing this system would be just legislation.
