cure Ohio for the XVth Article, and in

of the Republic.

DOubta are expressed of the election, as
first reported of Watt, to the Senate in the

canvass should have settled' that question
yester4lty. Without him, the Republi

We have lost two. Representatives by
an unhappy schism in 'Huntingdon and
one in. Pnufklin, but gain two in Phila

A MISTAKE - AND ITS • CONSE.
CITYJNICES.
It is yet too early to form a reliable
opinion upon the general expediency of
the change of the municipal and town
ship elections, from the Spring to the
Autumn. That expense has been thereby
saved to the local treasuries is clear
enough, as well as that one half of the
time, heretofore required for the discharge
of their electoral duties, has been saved
to the citizens. But it is decidedly to be
doubted whether the broader interests of
the people have been promoted, by the
inevitable confusion resulting from the
mixture o‘State and local questions, of
political and personal considerations, at
the same polls, The entire vote of the
day cannot fail to hinge in a large degree
upon the operation of the narrowest and
most mischievous elements. This was,
on Tuesday, the universal experience
throughout the State. The struggles of
local and personal interests certainly en
sured a general attendance at the polls;
but there are more or less citizens in every
precinct with feel more interest in their
favorite candidates for ward or township
office, than In the success or defeat of the
nominee of their party for Governor or
Supreme Judge.
The Republican State and County
tickets haie everywhere suffered from
this confusion. Votes for GEARY and
WILLIAMS have been, in hundreds of
cases in our own county, traded by can
didates and their friends running for some
trifling ward all ce. We hear the same
report from other counties. In Beaver,
the Republicans lose their sheriff, a brave
soldier and good citizen, and h , tve a de
uunished majority for the State ticket
from this cause. Lancaster (city) has se
cured a Republican Mayor in the same
way, by a traffic which increased the ma
joritytor Packer from 124 to 249. Our
exchanges from all the larger municipal
ities of the State, tell the same story. We
feel quite safe in the estimate that GIURY'S
majority in the State has been diminished
by thousands from this cause alone. As
far as heard from, the opposition have
adhered to their straight tickets, from
Governor to Constable, profiting in every
case by thepersonal selfishness of Repub
lican candidates. '
Upon merelkpartisen grounds,we would
not insist upon the abandonment, of the
new, system, which woked for us so
much harm on Tuesday. But it is no
answer to our comments, to say that Re
publicans are more free to trade away
this or that nominee for an important
place, because - he was personally dis
tasteful to them: an angel of, light at the
top of the ticket, personally unknown to
the voters, would be freely traded away
to secure the success of some two-penny
constable or councilman. We do not
regard it as for the higher interestslif the
Commonwealth that these paltry elements
should be brought in, to imperil the de.
sirable results of an important general
election. It is decidedly better that the
broad and vital issues inlolved in every
State canvas* should be decided on their
own merits,SWholly removed from any
embarraistug local considerations.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
If the facts are correctly stated tons,
as we recapitulate them below,—and we
are free to say for ourselves that we credit
their , entire accuracy—tme of the first du
ties now incumbent upon Governor
GEARY, perhaps, in justice to the people,
his first duty of all, is the prompt and ab
solute removal of the Attorney General;
BREWSTER, from an office in which his
farther coatinuance seems to be plainly
incompatible with the financial interests
and the of the :Commonwealth.
It is our duty to present, to the Gov
ernor and to the people, the following
statement of the alleged facts in the prem
ises: •
Some years ago, the Pennsylvania Le
gislature granted a charter of incorpora
tion to a financial company, styled the
"Credit Zilobiller.'y The scheme of this
corporation was very closely modelled
after the Princh institution of the same
name, and,- like its foreign prototype,
contemplated financial operations upon a
scale of magnitude not before known to
the business world. The proposed di
rection of these operations was in the ad
,vance of, lirge credlta to, banking.. rail
way and•other vitt:9llles, in which much
T'ITTSRPAGII GALITIE s FRIDAY, OCTOBER' 1
capital would be required, the considers-
for the advances usually luduf lin g'
among others, a speculative Interest in
the profits of the special enterprise to
which financial aid was thus extended.
The Credit biobiller of Pennsylvania
has, it is supposed, proved highly profits.
ble to its managers and shareholders.
The most familiar, as well as the mostre-
muneratiVe; of its undertakings, has
been, according to the common belief, in
connection with the Union Pacific Rail-
way. Indeed, it is the received public
impression, and probably a correct one,
that the leading interests m.both corpora
tions are identtcal and thatthe vast profits
of ;the railway enterprise have been ab
sorbed by its managers under the cloak
of the other financial concern.
The Credit Mobiller is a Pennsylvania
corporation, and has its principal office at
Philadelphia. Its charter was first ob.
ed by DUFF GREW. It was after
wa da supplemented, and the company
E. ed under the control of Dr. Durant
i . other New York operators. The
co cern is and has always been taxable
in this • Commonwealth. For years, it
paid its taxes, to the annual profit of the
Treasury, but for several years past it
has been delinquent. Investigations by
our financial officers' show that a very
large sum is due in this way to the State
—a sum so large that the Credit Mobilier
has agreed upon.a basis of settlement, in
case a legal /kW: My of any sort really m
ists. Upon this basis, the Commonwealth
claims the payment of a half million of
dollars from the company, and the coma
pany admits that this sum Is due, if any
thing be due at all.
Suits have been Instituted by the State
in the Dauphin Common Pleas for the
collection of this large sum. The com-
pang contests the claims, but has entered
good Lail to abide the result of the lltiga-
tion. These spits, it is the official duty of
Attorney General Brewster to prosecute
faithfully. We need not add ffiat it is
equally his official duty to take heed, In
all particulars, that the interests of his
clients, the people of Pennsylvania,
should not be prejudiced by his own de
liberate acts.
But a stockholder in the Credit Mob
Her, who is also concerned in the Union
Pacific Railwak, has brought suit in a
court of this Coulmonwealth against the
former concern for, as he alleges, an un
fair distribution of the profits of their con.
nection. Attorney General BuirwsTzu
appears as one of his counsel, and a large
sum is demanded of the C. M. by way of
compromise. So far, he acts in the prop
er line of his professional duty.
We wish that this were all of tb,e story.
But we regret to say that it is not. As
counsel for this private client, the Attor
ney General" has taken out, it is said, in
his official capacity, a writ of quo war
rant°, to test the legality of the charter of
the Credit Mobiller as a State institution -
If the charter be annulled under that
writ, the Commonwealth loses, at one
blovi, its claim for-the half million of de
linquent taxes, for no taxes can be as
sessed upon a corporation which shall be
found to have no legal existence here.
The interests of the State, to so large a
source, are thus indirectly, but none -the
less fatally, imperiled in a private litiga
tion, to which the State is no party of
record, and where its highest law officer
is seen to be prosecuting, with his well
known ability and zeal, a case in which
the success of his client is certain-to be
vastly detrimental to the State Treasury.
Our tax-payers are not in the humor to
submit to this adroit raid under the direc
tion of one of ,their own public servants.
Nor, are the financial officers of the State
disposed to acqUiesce silently in the At
torney General's scheme. Other counsel
have therefore been employed to inter
plead, in that suit, for the protection of
the Commonwealth, and in opposition to
Mr. Breweter's strategy. The State is to
be protected, so far as they can do it,
against its Attorney General's assault
upon, the treasury. The provision may
result in the public protection from any
pecuniary loss, through the defection of
the sworn law-officer of the people, but
it will only render still more flagrant the
scandal which he is seen to bring upon
the State and upon his office, by such an
infidelity to his official trust.
If the facts be thus correctly stated,
the Attorney General has perverted his
official prerogative, and - tramples upon
his official obligations, in the interests of
a personal client. He thus converts his
office, created and supposed to be exe
cuted in the' interests of the Common
wealth, into an engine for the promotion
of a, private litigation, the success of
which would strip the State Treasury of
its r , now believed to be a vend one
for half million of money.
An official impropriety of so grave a
chti4scter as charged, must moths suffered
toi t ass withoutla sharp investigation and
itn ediate correction. Irthese facts be
as stated, we demand, in the name of the
w hole people, theremoval of Mr. Brew
ster, without delat, from an' office which
i
th public interests forbid' that he should,
oc upy one hour after his complicity in
s transaction shall be" found to be as
'eh ged. We make no imputations upon
th personal integrity of Mr. Brewster.
Bu , we can make no allowances for what
cannot but be regafded as seriously an
official misconduct. i

stands.
.A VERY horrible lbook could be writ
ten upon the curious ideas and vagaries
of suicides. Self-murder has increased
very alarmingly all over the world du
ring the past fifty yoars. While the ma
jority of cases weri) brought about by
common-place drownings , shootin gor
poisonings, there have still been a large
variety of truly fantaWic and hideous
conceptions realized' in the most tragic
way. The growing belief that insanity
necessarily precedes self-murder, seems
to be mainly owing to these dismal ec
centricities. One of the most singular
of these recently occurred in France,.
where a man attempted to crucify 141m
self and actually succeeded in nailing
both feet and one hand to the wood, and
in piercing through his other hand with
a 'fail. Iu this state the unfortunate be
ing was discovered, and his intentions,
for the time, frustrated.
IT Is ANNOUNCED in several of. the

A correspondent of the London Times
writes from Switzerland of some in
vestigations concerning the condition: of
the peasantry. A Swiss hotel keeper on
the Righi gave him the following Infor
mation:
I asked him of his own parish, and he
told me that suchihings as pecuniary re
lief for aged or distressed paupers was a
thing unknown. Relief in kind consist
ing of milk, food or clothing, from a
charitible society, was the only form of
public outdoor asisstance. He showed
me last year's balance sheet,containing the
account of money that had passed
through his hands as public officer for
the past year; and it was one that for its
smallness might fill the hearts of any
English Board of Guardians with envy
and admiration.
He admitted to me that the young
people when they were first married were
frequently "not worth so much as a tea
spoon between them," to use his own.
expression; and yet it was rare, very rare,
that they ever had occasion to invoke
parish assistance lath** old age.
Wishing to pursue the subject farther,

I procured m him an order to visit the
Union Ho itself. It is in the midst of
the large im rjant parish of Genus,
which contain among : bther things, two
imporbuit silk &dories, besides a very
considerable rural population. And yet
the only inmates whom I saw here were
one aged hero who had fought at Water
loo, and a few chubby orphans, under the
care of two kind, bright-looking "sisters."

municipal administration: To the. Itegis
try Law and dissatisfaction with the, itxtri.
pie they have lied of Democratic rule, we
must attribute the handsome gain whiel,
Philadelphia his given to the Republican
party.
The Democrats, with their customary
strategic skill, about four o'clock yester
afternoon, in order to-produce, if possi.
bie, a stampede of the Republicans who
had not voted, employed several wagons,
and on either side had strips of canvass
stretched and upon these the words "The
Democratic City Ticket 3,500 ahead." In
order to make this falsehood more con- i
epicuous and to attract attention, a large
bell was placed' in the wagon, and. as the
vehicle moved along the streets the bell,
manipulated by two boys, kept up a deaf
ening clingor.l This demonstration was
variously greeted on the streets, either
by cheers orgroans, according to the di
versity of polities' faith. 'lt was certain,
however, that very few put any faith
such statements: •
Towards sunset the anxiety and impa
tience of the 'people was intense. At all
the hotels large crowds assembled to talk
over matters,"to prognosticate upon the
result and occasionally to snap up a bet.
The Democrats were particularly noisy
and, judging from their declamations and
the amount of spirits periodically laid in,
it would have been presumed that they
had made a complete sweep. The Re
publicans were
_unaccountably depressed
in manner as if anticipating disaster.
There was evidently up to that time no
reason whatever tor either of these oppor
site feelings. Later in the evening the
crowd began to resort to the prominent
centres for the collection of the returns.
The Union League had made every pre
paration for the announcement of the
fre
sult to the üblic. Large white surfaces
of linen s read upon frames and facing
to the fron and up and down the street,
were erected over the entrance to the
building. ' Behind these franies were
lanterns. The result was painted in
small letters upon a plate of glass about
four inches square. By means of -a
light t r a magnifying glass the writing
was own upon the linen surface; which
was properly illuminated, the size of the
lette now being about a foot in height.
rt
Such .were the preparations made for
those without
Th League being the resort of nearly
three thousand members, it ;was neces
sary,gri order that the crowd be not to
great or business, that some arrangement
be m de for the convenience of the
tele ph wires, return keepers and the
othernecessary force. On this occasion
the e tire second story of the building
was abut off from access from below.
About fifty persons were provided with
passeiend allowed on the second floor.
The remainder were kept below. As
soon as any returns were received a du
plicate 'sheet was made out and sent below'
and the , result was at once announced by
,the magic lantern.
By eight o'clock the scene in front of
the League Rouse was enthusiastic al
most beyond control. The entire width of
Broad st., and from Walnut to Chestnut
was a compact surface ot upturned faces.
As each return was- presented, showing
the enormous gain in the city, the dense
mass set up a terrific cheer after cheer.
It was said by those &mill& with similar
gatherings on former occasions that
the assemblage of last - night was
never surpassed. During the entire
evening, thousands came and went
away, scarcely being able to:get within
seeing distance anywhere. In the course
of the evening the Philadelphia Invinci
bles and several other clubs, with bands,
marched down.'Broad street and passed the
League House. The crowd pressed back,
allowing a narrow passage through and
-then sutged together once more like the
waves of the sea. After eleven *lock
a rain springing up,• most of the crowd
separated. ', Several hundred, howeVer,
thronged the steps andpavethents in front
l of the building until after mid-night.
1 The returns from the city of Philadel
phia were highly gratifying and far ex
ceeded anything that was anticipated.
The loss in Allegheny was entirely un

\ Whisky and Democracy triumphant!
They carried the election yesterday in
this borough by a majority of fifty. Last
night the streets were hideous with the
howls and oaths of the unterrified. A
drunken row occurred about nine o'clock,
in which stones were hurled furiously.
One of these struck a man by the name of
Arnold and killed him on the spot. • This
man was an innocent victim—he was
taking no part in, the fray. He leaves
five orphan children. It is not certainly
known who threw the stone. A colored
man is in jail on suspicion. This morn
ing an old fellow standing in the door of
the Ruins office, pulled a flask of whisky
•from his pocket, and, holding it up,
shouted across the street to one of the
t
chief engineers ' of yesterday ' opera
dons, " Dave, this looks nat' al yit"
Yes, that flask, and others like i did the
business.

TheAtatertal Wealth of Great Britain a
Little Over That of New Tort State.
' The marvelous - Prosperity of the United
Kates is very strikingly shown in a re-
turn of the assessed valuation of the real
nail personal propersy of the several
counties of the State of New York, which '
has been furnished by' the State Assessor
to the New York Reread, and published
in that paper on the 10th of September.
Taking the dollar to be worth three shil
lings ofaiur money, which is about its .
currency value, that valuation amounts
to the enormous sum of £279,018,115 10s.
sterling. The population of the btate of
New York was in 1865 3,831,777, Di
viding the sum above given by this !atter
figure, we find that the taxable wealth of
the State equals £72 16s. 4d. for every,
individual in the population. The amount
of property and profits assessed to income
tax in England, Scotland and Wales for
the year ending the 31st of lgarch, 1862 ;
according to the ' " Statesman's Year
Book" for 1869, amounted to 2301,380,-
730, or in round numbers to be but
£22 000,000 more than that of% the State

One of the .truest and most suggestive Ideas
can be obiained-from the caption at the bead
I f this ari:ele: for of all diseases *hien inipair
human health and shorten human life, none are
m ` ore prevalent than three which affect the lungs
id pulmonary tissues. Whether •;ire regard lung
slleeases in the light of a meray slight cough,
which is .but the tore-runner of 'a more serious
midady, or, as a deep lesion - corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should thePtirrirlso or
the friends aft& family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than in those of the lungs. 1
for it is in them that early and efficient treat
ment is most desirable, and it Is then that danger
can be warded off and a cure effected. In DR.
KEYSER'S LUNG CUBE you have a medicine
of the greatest value in all these conditions. An
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent,
succoring nature and sustaining the recupera
tive powers of the system. Its beautiful work
ings, in harmony with rho regular functions, can
be readily observed by the use of one or two bot
tles: it will soon break urrilie chain of morbid '
sympathies that disturb the harmonious work
ings of the animal economy. The barrassing
cough,' , the painful respiration, the sputum
streaked with blood, will soon' give Place to the
normal and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thirty years
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LONG CURE, to give new hone to.the eon-
sumptive invalid and at the same time epeedy
relief in those now prevalent, catarrhal and
throat affections, so distressing in thelr effects
and so almost certainly fatal in their tendencies,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DE.
MUSKS'S LUNG CUBE is so thorough and ef
ficient. that any one who has ever need it, wilt
never be without it in the house. It will often
cure when everything else fills. and In simple
cases will cure oftentimes in a few days.
