Towanda, Pa., Thi=day, Nov. 30, 1375.
TUE POPELAR VOTE.
Our democratic friends, unmindful
of the great carditial principle for
which they hak•e ever contended, in
this government that the electoral
system was the only equitable oneL
preserving in some degree the equal
rights of the States, now that they
find themselves beaten by a small
majority in the Electoral College,
clamor loudly for TILDEN on the
ground that he has a large l majority
of the pOpplar vote. Let us examine
the question briefly and see what jus
tice there is in their claim.
There have been several coitests
almost as close as the present one,
and we have had more than one mi
nority President .if the popular vote
is the proper criterion. ions Q.
ADAMS became President on a very
small minority of votes. In 1844
PoLK was elected, although there was
a popular vote of 28,000 against him,
and the opposition , made no objection
on that account. In 1848 there was
a majority of 150,000 against the
Whig candidate, and yet Gen. Ter-
Lon was elected. In 1856 JAMES Bu-
NIANATi , was chosen President and
inaugurated without ptotest, although
the popular majority against him was
yver '400,000 In 1860 Mr. LINCOLN
had a majority of 57 in the Electoral
College, and yet thc; popular majority
against him was 350,000. It will
thus be seen that the electoral system
has resulted in the election of men of
both parties heretofote against the
popu'ar majority, and no complaint
has been made..
Now let us look at the question
from
, another standpoint.. In the
states which were 'loyal during the
rebellion, Gov. HAvEs has a majority
I
of more than 250,000. No , candid
man will dispute the_ fact that the
mass of Southern people still cling
to their secession views, and only
await the acquisition of power to con
sumate their long cherished idea of
ar. independent, government, with the
restoration of their former rights of
property in hutnan beings. Is it
safer to entrust. the,government in
their keeping than . in the hands of
those who def:nded and preserved it
in the hour of peril ? This is a ques
tion worthy of serious thought. ' -
Still another comparison may ba
made which will not be found preju
dicial to the republican claim that
Xi...HAI:Es. is fairly elected notwith
st,M.linglre has-not, received a major.
itY of the popular vote. I In the
present Congregs twenty-two states
have, democratic maj ,cities in the
Hot*, and fourtean reptiblican fma
joritie,s. In the election of,congreSs
inen,for the' next House tWenty-one
chose a' republican. majority and
f in
fifteen de ocratic. So that if the
election o - 1 4 President devolved upon
the Con ,a
ress chosen :,,at, the the game
election t which Presidential' candi
dates w re
. voted for, the Republican
candidate Would be successful,-
We have ,referred thus, bijiefly to
the various phases of the Presiden
tial question merely., to point out the
inConsistencies of the demoerats,
whose greed for'power seems almost
insatiable, and who seem in — their .
pursuit of it to adopt the theory that
the: " end justifies the Means." We
shall not stop here to argue the ques
t:
tiOn whether the el: ctoral system is
correct or not. It is the law of ,the
the land and has been from - the or
ganization of the gOvernment, and
must be adhered to.
THE DOUBTFUL STATES
Two of the doubtful States have
now completed their canvass and
Show majorities for. HAYE,S, with - -
out throwing out, any of the fraud
ulent 'votes from " bull-doied "
districts. Louisiana will complete
her count in a day or, two," when
a •like result . will be shoWn_
there, and the "long- agony will be"
over," and our Democratic friends
will have time to reflect on the
causes which Nave led to their defeat. ,
They will discover that their in
genious attempt to cover up their
past disloyal record under the- spe
cioils cry, of reform, was a signal
failure,: and that the loyal people
have not 'yet forgotten the loyalty. l
and_ devotion of those who saved the
country"from disruption. ' Four years
more of Republican rule will restore
the languishing interests of the
South, and start them on a Voyagepf
peace and prosperity, which, if lion
estly persevered in by the people of
that unfortunate section, will lead i
them out of all their diflkulties.
WE have become heartily disgusted
with the daily announcement,
other Ineligible , Elector." We do
,not believe the people of any State
'have been fool-hardy enough to select
'men who cannot serve in the electoral
college.
:On failure's ragged edge I stand,
And cast a nsufructal eye
'To Louisiana's troubled land,
Where all my chances lie. ' s. J. T.

The following is a correct list of the
members of the new Legislature, with
their political Classifications. 'twill
be seen that the Republicans have a
majority of 12 in . the Senate, and 39
in the House, making 51 on Joint
ballot. The Senators elected in the
otld numbered districts, bold :or four
years, and those chosen in the even
numbered districts, hold for two
years. It is notable that of the 25
Senators who hold over for four
years, and who will participate' in
the election of a United States gen.
Itor to succeed . Cameron, 21 are Re
publicans and but 4 are • Democrats.
The new Senate will be rather above
the. aveFage ability of that body, and
the House, with the loss of some 'of
iG best men like Parker, Gunster,
Mitchell and others, wily be an abler
assembly than the last one. Those
marked with a star (»`) 'were mem
bers of the l laSt Legislature, and
those marked with a dagger (t) were
members of previous Legislatures: •

Twelve thousand letters were 're
ceived at the office daily, or 4,000,000
annually. Of these, :J50,000 ' were
uamailuble; half postage, 300,000;
misdirected, 50,000; blank,' .;,000.
$50,00P in money was taken from tile
letters, while the total money value
ot 'cheeks, notes, drafts, etc., was:s7,-
050,000. 204000 packages of various
kinds were received. So thorough is
the syston 'of inquiry instituted that
nine tenths of the money received.
Was reatored, to the rightful owners.
Among the parcels received, and
for
,which no owners could'be found,
are articles of almost every discrip
tion. some very tine sets of diamond
jewelry, valuable gold watches, neck
laces, ect., furs., shawls, dresses, fans.
shoes photographs, stuffed birds, and
reptiles—and even living reptiles—
figure the collection. A huge liv
ing rattlesnake was recently received
from a;,Western Instate, inclosed in a
perforated •tin box. These articles
are aatalonged and sold from time to
time, after all means are exhausted to
find their rightful owners.
Doubtless in many instance the
senders of these j letters, etc., have
strongly censured the officials of the
Post-offices for their presumed dis
honesty culpable negligence. while
thtir own carelessness are to be
traced their losses and. the disapoint
meirts of those for who the valuables
were intended. We commend to our
readers the figures given hoping that
those who write us may be induced
to exercise more care, both in their
own interest and ours..
in
offiee,s are almost daily in receipt of
letters inclosing money, or otherwiSe,
yet having no Post-office or County
or State mentioned, and frequently
without signature. •

TILE correspondent of the Tribune
thus describes the ,stopping of 'the
great centennial engine on P richly :
" A crush , of people filled all the

of the spectacle, that
place
went hard
with those who got a place near the
engine, for the accumulathtl force of
the solid phalanx 'of eager. visitors
pushing forward , nearly pressed the
breath out of them. The screams of
women and the expostulations of men
laid some effect to mitigate the
squeez;but not mu& At 23 minutes
before 4 o'clock 'the piston rods of
the monster -motor began to make
slower and slower strokes, and at last
stood still. " What does it mean?"
asked 10,000 people at once. No one
was upon, the platform, and no hand
was seen to turn the twin - -wheels

twelve. acres of machinery. Silenc ,
fell ; upon the hall, where clangor and
whirr and rattle had reigned so long.
The crowd lingered, refusing to be
lieve that the stoppage was final.
After a few minutes Mr. Geo.ll. eta

Multitude, walked slowly around,
'greeted by cheers on everyside4 Then
Mr i Wanarnaker. proposed .ft final
cheer for the great inventor and me
chanic; which was given with a will.
The two gentleman disappeared, but
the people still refused to go, and
finally policemen hat,l to assure them
that it was allover before they would
disperse. They learned aftrward, in
response to their eager inquiries, that
the engineer had turned oaf the steam

the ceremonies were proceeding, de

THE TOPIC OF THE TIME - A REVIEW OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
'Whatever may be the decision of the
lieturnitif; Boards• in the disputed States
(and we hope and: trust that the decision
will be that Mites is fairly and legally
elected), the unpleasat t fact remains, that
he will have but one majority of the pros
electors, with a majority of the
people against hint in the popular vote.
However thankful we may be that the
government is not to pass into the hands
Of the party one-half of whom sought its
destruction but a few years ago, yet we
cotinot banish tht hunt iiating thought
tbat the Republican party which Pas been
dominant for sixteen pais is now beaten
in a popular contet, mid is only able to
hold the government, if it bob's it at all,
by t provision in the (onstitution which
is not popular with any party and which
will doubtless before Many years be
amended. Sobered and humbled by the
result, thoughtful Republicans will review
the campaign just e:osed and look over
the battlefield in older to ascertain the .
causes which brought tbeM so near to a
disastrous defeat, and froto which they
were only saved (if they are saved) by the
votes of those colored men iwho 'risked the
loss of employment, the IM;s of life, and
the vengeance of the rifle clubs in order
to serve the party which have t;lem free
dom and the ballot.
On all the issues beiftn-e the country the
It:publican. party occupied the true
ground, and maintained a consistent,
straightforward course from the beginning :
to the end of the campaign; but the issues l
were too few, and the party did notosen
py ground enough to obtain an- arileut
support of the moral and religious ele
ments of society, Possibly it might bare
succeeded better at this time by adopting
tile doude-headed, Janus-faced policy of
the Democratic party on the enrrencY
question ; but an honest part ye:lntuit take
that course, and a victory won under such
circumstances is worse thatf a defei.t. The
Democratic partysoughtao obtain control
of the government under false pretenses ;
it became all things to all men, that efer
adventure it might secure votes ens ugh
to place 'it• in power. Like Makfiannai
:Sioore's "Veiled Prophet;" it preached
a doctrine to please every sect and locality.

Adams, of Massachusetts, and other lead
ers in the Republican paity went over to
the Democrats. These men possessing
unbounded selfishness could not biook the
idea of rotation in office, and', because
their party diCnot,,keek i them constantly
employed in the public service, felt them
selves terribly aggrieved,- and in-t h eir an
ger at their imaginary wroivi.they, like
Benedict Arnold, - deserted to the enemy
and attempted to destroy the partythey
had helped• to build up: 'Li e . birrr, they
doubtless expect to be rewarded - for their
treachery, and like him, they willbe de
rplsed even by their new issociates. -
The Democrat 3c party lives its, a. party
of opposition rind re-action it; proposes
nothing that is desirable, and ,opposes
cry good _measure. It sometimes claims
to, he consert l ative; but is conservative
only of the bad. It talks about "reform,"
but has fought against all the reforms, of
the present age,' and merely used the
word as a bait to catch diisatistied
publican votes. Thousands of Democrats
despise the word. and like the Irishman,
have "hated tho sound of it ever • since
Marlin Luther attempted' to reforM the
Pop:, of P.Onte:" Though the Democratic
party, like Sodom, cari-Lfu'rni:Sh some
righteous men, it is tilled with-vicious, re
actionary elements that' would gladly wel
come a return to the barbarism -of the
dark ages.
The great body of
. tempdraupe people
are attached to the ltepubliCan party and
have generally voted for its candidates at
the-late election, litit'they conk' notwork

cordance with the foundation principles
of republican gove;nMent, arid.no intelli
gent man of any liarty . eau, object to it
without objecting to the 'doctrine that the
majority shall rule. If the Republican
party will take ground in favor of local
option laws it can tibtain the zealous ser•-
I and votes of thousands of the most
able, active, disinterested andr-sQf-siteris
'icing aiien 'in th ; world—men who care

country—and it would only lose thtisul' - .

cling to . i4Tik- the barnacles,to a„ship, to
impede its progress or control its action.
ATuiweal Merely as ii• Matter of political
policy, the paity would be the gainer by
adopting into its creed the principle' of
local optiO.
A Rqublican Congress, through the
inibience of President Grant, passed a
bill provi'ding ft,r the, restunption of specie
payments in Jan. 1 itt, and the measure
was entirely proper, for if we are ever to
resume it was, necessary that a time
should he fixed, so-that the people, the
banks, anti the government could prepare I o
for it ; but the measure was not popUlar
with the masses, especially in, the . West,;
it brought the Greenback party; composed
chiefly of-Republicans, into existence, and
without doubt caused us the loss-of Indi
