this 50 more:
A Dzmomwric Jountim. in Boston learns
that from: $5O, to , $5OO apiece Were paid
for Dem:taunt in Maine, either to vote the .
Republican ticket or to stay away from the
rills, and - "it great many" such bargains
were made. " This is terrible."
Taa Maine majority is fixed by outlatest
I lespatchesUt 20,000. The Republican vote
;will exceed 70,000 while tke Democratic will
-fall short of 50,000. Those who laid wagers
on the Republican majority, being less, than
20,000 have loit, as the official returns will
show in a day or two.
MB. Holum° SE'rxoua did not read the
- news from:Haine in thesame light as the
Post. When he finished the unpleasant
task, he telegraphed to Mi. PiLLSBDBY, of
Portland, exclaiming
"THIS IS TERRIBLE 1
mere are the victories you promised us?"
The Portland Press is the authority for
this statement. '
Ous Asurocitsuc FRIENDS in this city,
in "looking out for the main (e) chance"
- within a day or two past, have contribUted
very large sums to Republican pocket
books. Let it be a lesson to them to be
ware, for the future, of "special telegrams
from the N. Y . World" or of fanciful dis
plays of poultry on the Post's bulletin board.
In this way the lesson may be valuable—as
it should be, for it has been very expensive.
"Om Austir. IN FLANDERS" htid no ex
perience whatever in profanity, if it be com-
pared with the universal and resistless storm
of execrations with which Democrats ! ' who
have wagered their money on Maine, stim
ulated by ihe World and the Post, are now
• cursing the miserable arithmetic of those
journals. They have not only lost all their
bets but all their confidence in Democratic
newspapers. The Poet, of yesterday, al
lowing us only 18,000 majority, on the
strength of "private dispatches,l' puts the
Republican claim at 20,000 to 22,000, and
then adds
“We are thus particular in giving all the
information we have at this writing and
not only retain for this paper ite reputation
for truth and veracity, but escape the
blame from those who see fit 'to bet their
money on dispatches which may hereafter
prove erroneous." .
Democrats, who were iliish with money
for bets on 17,000 and /SAO on. Thursday
; afleinoon, claimed to have their information
from the office of the Post. Its own bulletin
loud paraded precisely_the same claims.
- Upon all this, confiding Democrats "went
in" to bet; it is needless to add that they
come out at the small end of the horn.
yon't these,victims admire the - efforts of
the ross to dodge itsresponsihility for their

PENNSTLVAY.IA.
Mr. ANDREW JOHNSON' has "instructed
Mr. Jonx L. DAWSON to return 'home and
inform'his friends of the absolute party ne
cessity of carrying the Keystone State for
the Democracy in October." The N. Y.
World pitches its Vermont and Maine glib
meticinto the fire, has no more "special tel
egrams" to - send West for the depletion of
Democratic pocket-books, and flourishes its
tomahawk as follows :
The bat.le ground of the Presidential
contest this year is in Pennsylvania. To
the Democrats of that State the country
looks for Toilet from the burdens which
Radicalism has piled . upon the nation. If
they obtain a majority at their, election on
the 13th of October next, Horatio Seymour
will bo the next President. Upon the Dem
ocrat= of these three States—Pennsylvania
first, Indiana next, and Ohio last—rests a
great responsibility. They should know
not .a single idle moment until the sun sets
on the 13th of October. Their motto should
be, work, work, wouw. That it will be, we
feel.confldentj knowing how thdy are im
pressed with the importance of succeeding
in this campaign.
Now, Democrats, one and all, to work !
`t All this means that the Copperheads, led
by BLAIIt, DA.H.PTON and FORREST, repulsed
in Vermont and Maine, and: hopeless of-
Ohio and Indiana, will make their last final
desperate charge upon Pennsylvania in Oc
tober. And it means that, to ensure their
defeat, every Union vote in the. Common
wealth must lie polled; that the opposition
must be checkmated in their gigantic scheme
for colonizing the border counties with
voters from New York, New Jersey, Mary
land and West Virginia;andthat their fraud
ulent naturalizations must be detected and
debarred from the polls, as well as subse
quently. punished.
We annex the later votes of Pennsylvania:

Our total vote in October will .exceed
600,000, but not much, and at least 310,000
of these votes should be, for the Union tick
et. , We have yet to hear of the first. Union
iran, who supported GEARY, who will "go
back" on the ticket now, while our natural'
increase in the two yeais should be nearly
5,000 votes. Nor may it be forgotten that,
of the , thousands of Democrats who intend
to vote for GIANT and Peace andagainst
Burn and Rebellion in November, no in
considerable number will go for KART
ftespr and Cum:m.l.l.in October, by way of
getting their hands in. \
We are entitled, therefore, to 310;000, and
ought to have 315,000 Union votes at the
first election. It is idl& for the opposition
to talk of matching these numbers in an
honest poll. If our friends should come as
near a full vote hfre as they have done in
Vermont and Maine—and why should they
not?-the opposition have not the shadow
of an honest chance, and they already Know
it. The vote ~ of ,'66 was a square leOld on
both sides, and,' up to the day when this
canvass opened,, could have been - repeated
without the change of a thousand votes on
either side, and each- profiting by the
regular and natural increase for nearly
twolgara,. While we know that there are
thoiffiands of honest Democrats now' who
cannot and will not suppoit the New York
nominations, and while it is fair to expect a
handsome per tentage of gain from that
source at the first election, who is there that
can lay his, finger on a corporal's guard of
GEARY'S supporters - in '66 who have since
deserted us ? We keep_every man whom
we had then, and this is what the opposition
cannot say. Give us then, from ell sources,
an increase of 8,000 votes and the opposi
tion must gain at least 20,000 to match it.
They'can't do it honestly—and they don't
mean to try.
But they do intend to bring into the
Commonwealth from without, and , to man
ufticture fraudulently within it, at leaf t 25,-
000 votes. They will distribute them through
all the border counties and throughout the
State where they can find convenient
courts, complaisant officers and conniving
election boards. It is a desperate card, but
it is their last play, and their only salvation
as a local or national party.
Now we insist upon it that, as the opposi
tion can only succeed by frauds so gigantic,
so it will be a shameful negligence and
cowarclici in our friends to fail either of de
tecting in blocking that game.
The rebel yell of Jonwson, BLAIR and
the Copperhead newspapers frightens no
one. We have the votes to make this thing
sure. Fifteen thousand majority at least of
the people'of Pennsylvania are Union men
to-day, and' friendly to the Republican tick
et. 411 they have to do is to turn out and
vote in October,„ every man of them, and
see to it ttat the Democrats poll no more
votes than:the law allows them. Do these
two things and the Old Keystone will be all
right.

"This is terrible," telegraphs Houvrno
SEYMOUR to his friend, the defeated Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in lVlaine on
Monday night. "This is terrible !" ex

friends in the late four years of war.

JOHN BROOKS, Esq., of Cameron, is the
Republican nominee for Representative froth
Cameron; Clinton and McKean.
A. G. OLMSTEAD, Esq., is the Republican
nominee for the Senate in the Potter dis

Tioga have united on B. B. STRANG, but
cannot agree on the other, Potter insisting
on J. S. MANN and Tioga preferring Mr.

THE NEXT ANNUAL TREASURY RE-
It is announced that the official report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, to - be made
to Congress in December, which regularly
includes the figures for receipts and expen

the exact amount for the year ending in

These totals were sometime since stated
by. Commissioner WELLS, in his published

therefore, were remarkably correct.

A DAY or two ago the Post, of this city,
assuming a virtuous indignation it did not
feel, expressed itself in the following terms:
Extravagance and pillage marks the
sway of the Rtidicals in the State and Na
tional Legisla urea. The swarms -of new
employ6s at Harrisburg, the increase of
the pay of the members and the rapid rise
in the aggregate legislative expenses, have
been sulliects of common remark."
To which the Seaga Guard, of Harrisburg,
thus pithily responds:
"There was a little dividend made of an
appropriation to a certain Pittsburgh char
itable institution; which corruption was not
consummated at Harrisburg, and of which
the Post has a knowledge it owes to the
Democratic party to lay before its readers.
Bishop Domen:o understands this kind of
corruption because he suffered by it,. and
the Poat knows who was, benelitted
thereby."

ER:-SECRETARY STANTON.
The Washington Chronol6 says :
Secretaiy STANTON expects to start West this
week to take part in , the campaign. He will
speak at Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati l ,and Dayton,
and possibly at a few other 'points. He
then intends to visit New York in time to
enter the field there. He will visit Philadel
phia before going West. .
On the other hams, a Columbus dispatch
states that Mr. Stan on telegisphed to the
Union State Comm' to of Ohio, that he can
not now tell when e could return to that
State, and that his esent wish. is that no
appointments be ms de fOr hiss to address
meetings.
Tim strength of HORATIO SEirmouß with
,
his party has, by common consent, been
located in the Eastern and Middle States.
In the West and Northwest, heis supported
by the Democracy in virtue of his nomina
tion; all the solid claim he has ever had
upon their regard as grown out of his
iliiidis
loyalty during t e war. In all other res
pects, he is a can idate most distasteful to
the Western Dem erotic leaders. Could'nt
some Democrat, who is busy cyphering out
the Vermont and Maine problems, suspend
that work long enough to tell us tow much
he is to gain in the West, where he is weak

and Vermont are so decidedly ruinous ?,
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The Warren Baptist Association, of Rhode
Island, has met and adjourned without
taking definite action in regard to Rev. C.
H. Malcom, though a strong effort was made
to ostracise him for his open communion
views. Dr. Herman Lincoln presented a
resolution evidently aimed at Mr. Malcom,
and his church at Newport, in which it is
stated, the Association regards it an inver
sion of the Scripture law, in inviting to the
Lord's table those who have not been bap
tised, contrary to the universal custom of
Christendom, an infringement of the Di
vine law, and a violation of Christian pro
priety. Dr. Lincoln was the only person
who spoke in favor of the resoldtion. Sev
eralr) oppose it as injudicious, inasmuch as
the question w ether baptism was a neces
sary prerequisite to the Lord's table was an
open one, notATefinitely settled in the Word
of God, and thusleft to private judgment.
The zesoltition was referred to a commit ee
which is adverse to it, and which will report
at the meeting one year hence.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will speak in
Boston on the political situation before the•
presidential election, but he willfot lecture
much during the coming season, says the
liidependent, being engaged on his "Life
of Christ."
The long looked-for trial of Rev. J. P.
Hubbard, for allowing Rev. Frederick Den
nison to officiate in his church, commenced
on Monday, the 9th. The court appointed
•by Bishop. Clark, of Rhode Island, entered
upon he duties at that date, but nothing was
done, and the court adjourned to meet on
the 22d inst. Mr. Hubbard pleaded not
guilty to the presentment
It is gratifying to note that quite unex
pectedly the American Board of Foreign
Missions have been favored with so many
remittances, that it will be wholly unneces
sary to report any indebtedness to the next .
meeting.
This week's issue of the Presbyterian
Banner begins a new volume, the fifty-fifth.
Ever since July sth, 1814, this paper, though
the name has been changed several times,
has continued to make its visits to the homFs
of subscribers. Under the editorial man
agement of Dr. Allison and Prof. Patterson,
the Banner has steadily risen to its present
elevated and popular position. It is ably
edited, and conducted, too, in a liberal and
catholic spirit. The paper well deserves the
patronage it receives.
The Old School Presbytery of Indianapo
lis declared that dancing was a proper ground
of discipline, according to the rules of that
Church, as expressed in chapter first, section
third. Not Only is dancing condemned, but
members are not to countenance the same
by their voluntary presence.
The approaching General Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, in October,
promises to be an interesting meeting. It
is expected that every Diocese, without a
single exception, will be represented by its
Bishops and clerical and lay delegates.
The Western Chriation Advocate, pub
lished at Cincinnati, says all the Catholic
papers it sees are outspoken advocates of
the election of Seymour and Blair. Their
partisan bitterness Is not surpassed by the
vilest sheets of the , party.
The new parlor amusement called Plan

of St. Louis a diabolical invention, and
members of that lath who practice it are

The Michigan M. E. Conference, at its
late seamen at Tines Rivers, received twenty
six additional ministers. This body is
ono of the largest of the flity-odd Confer

Rev. Charles Franklin Robertson, the
newly elected Bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, is a son of
Mr. James Robertson, a member of St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church at Peeks
kill, N. Y., and brother-in-law of Rev. C.
D. Fess, a distinguished Methodist minister
in New York City. Ho was early a clerk
in a New York mercantile house, and be
came a communicant In St. George's Parish,
under the eloquent Dr. Tyng. He gradua

age is thirty-three.
When the , Rev. Washington Baird,
,a
Presbyterian minister, was dying in Clay
ton, Georgia, a few weeks since, in response
to a question as to how he felt, he said that he
was "passing from the bosom ofhis friends on
earth to the bosom of his Father in Heaven."
When asked how he found the passage, he
whispered, "pleasant—glorious." We have
more confidence in the testimony of this
dying minister, In the power of Christ to

The question of music, always ,a trouble
some one, is assuming a _grave aspect in
some of the leading churches in the East,
mainly because of the exorbitant tax to
sustain choirs, and the "soiled" character of
many of the singers. Among the leading
churches which have taken steps to dispense
with 4i, choir, and return to simple general
congregational singing in its worship of
God, is the First Baptist church in Phila
delphia. Some other of the largest and
most influential churches in Philadelphia'are
meditating the same thing. Some of these
'choir" luxuries cost a congregation full,
two thousand - dollars per annum. Many of
the persons who are found' on opera, and
sometimes other stages, during the week,
are engaged in the cnoir on the Sabbath.
At a late meeting of the United Presby
tery of Chillicothe, a paper was presented
stating that the United Presbyterian - church
of Chillicothe," by an almost unanimous
vote, had withdrawn frOm the jurisdiction
of the Presbytery. The step was taken in
view of the recent decision of the United
Presbyterian, Churchin the matter of instru
mental music in public worship.
The most ritualistically • dined Episco
{ in
pal minister in San Francisco, California,
is said to be the Rev. F. Dillon, o f the,
Church of St.. Tames the Less. He usually
appears in the Sabbath services, clad in a
white robe, with an immense cross down
the back. He is surrounded by a number
of attendants. Seven candles are on the
'altar, and the number of genuflexions gone
,through with in a morning service is of an
unusual character in an Episcopal Church.
It is said he, has, -been twice suspended by
Bishop Kip, but;; as soon as restored, wears

"Weakness of the Stomach" is the source of more

dtrec' consequences. It obscures the intellect 'and

the fact that an absolnte, Infallible specific fbr the

CHRONIC' DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and note, taken by lir. HEYSlilt,
of this city. on the various diseases of the car, he
says that ;ibis out of ten cases could be cured in
their incipiency If app Icahn were ma..e to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. the
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a well
mown aural surgeon, who says: •ti fear not to re.
Iterate the athiertion which I made on several for
mer OCCIUIIOOII. that If the disease of the ear were as
well -studied or undtsatood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended to. as those of
the eye, It would be found that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness is so common - and so distressing an In
firmity, and - when of long standing so Incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
tioners to make themse'ves familiar with the treat
ment of the diseases of the ear.
The Doctor says that- nearly all annoying phi
charges, Du/zit/0 and Morbid Growths peculiar to
the organ of the hearing, some of which had lin
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
