OrB neighbor of the Democrat, when C.
Ilottenatcin, the "mule" auditor, had his
minority report published, declared that
Jlottenstein wai a fool. Now we find him
quoting from the same report ae authority,
but nerer mention the name ot Mr. Job.
Eiaely, the Democratic Auditor Who as;
aistcd in making out the majority report.
The most astonishing part of the tirade of
the Xmpcrof is, the news that the minority
auditor rendered services to the county
which will eren entitle him to be called a
benefactor. As regards the boasts that he
had rendered services to the majority audi
tors in making out" the report of 1S7-4, we
know that at the commencement of the
audit, whilst the comparisons and cance
lation of orders was being done, whirA re
quires all vouchers and orders fopod cor
rect to be cancelled on the Commissioner's
and Treasurer's books, he rrfuscd to ren
der assistance for some time, and all be did
was about two hour's work. This part of
the work usually takes two days. His
nejt assistance was adding up a column of
outstanding taxes which is probably half
an hour's work, when he consumed one
half day, and then was found incorrect.
This was about the extent of his assistance
to the majority auditors. The most tedi
ous part of an audit, is the searching of the
seated and unseated land books, which re
quires about one-third of the time of
making an audit was not approached
by the minority man, but be took
the figures of the majority report
and made a deduction on percentage
allowed. II is boasted triumph consists in
running the accounts of 1874 into 1S75 to
the amount of nearly 813.000, in order to
establish tbat.never before Lad such extra
vagance been known from a Board of Com
missioners since the formation of the coun
ty. If our neighbor will a6k Mr. Fasold,
the janitor, he can ascertain the time made
by the majority auditors, and that they4
labored late at night, for eleven days, he
will find that their time is correct without
Sundays included. But bow does the
"mule" auditor's time compare with this.
He claims the same time with the addition
al time of a clerk, for which be presented a
bill of ten dollars, and complains that the
Commissioners refuse to pay it. This
"mule" auditor is now asking to be re
elected, and if the taxpayers will do so
they must expect to pay an extra clerk to
do the work ot auditing in addition to his
time, and by indication his time would not
be a small item, for he has the knack of
getting "balky." and should be get one of
those spells, the time of auditing will be
greatly prolonged.
The people of this county, we are glad
t) see, are realizing the difference in hav
ing gooJ officers. Wherever we go we hear
the Republican officers praised, and not a
tingle fault is found with them. We have
agaia candidates who will nuke worthy
officers. The candidate fox Sheriff, Mr. J.
II. Adams, is of the same character as the
present efficient Sheriff of this county, and
his largest majority will come from the dis
tricts where he is best known. Mr. Robr
bach, for Proti onolary, has been tried and
proven himself to be one of the best offi
cers ever in that position. As a competent
officer he has no superior.and that he iaa gen
tleman of irreproachable character, no one
will question. Mr. Renn, candidate for
Treasurer, is a gentleman of character and
standing, and in every way qualified for
the office. He was born in this county,
and has hosts of friends who will prefer
him to any oue who may migrate to this
couuty for the purpose of getting offices.
The people are getting tired of electing
meu to office who come from other parts of
the country for that purpose. Past expe
rience has taught them that it's policy to
elect men who they know, and who have
the strongest claims.
Effects of good Counsel.-IIow was it
that Mr. Hertz, in a single case tried at the
January sessions last,aa county Commis
sioner payed out over 81,600 of the couuty
funds, which payment was not warranted
by law or in anywise justifiable ? and in
bow many other cases has he made illegal
disbursements of the county funds ? The
next Auditor's report will show till these
things in all human probability. Already
thousands of dollars have Jjcen so paid
since Mr. Sober acts no longer
as counsel to the Commissioners, and this
appears by the records too. How much
better off Would the County Treasury have
been to-day bad Mr. Sober's counsel been
retained in the Commissioners' office. Let
the records show. These cases multiply
as time goes on.
W. R. F. Wkucer, candidate for Pro
tbonotary, pleads for the office because be
has been a standing candidate for a num
ber of years, and expects many to vote for
aim to get him out of the way. If be
should be a candidate as long as Mr. S trine
for Sheriff, we do nqt believe bis chance
would be bettered any.
ElCHHOLTZ's Ring candidates appear to
be already planning their future course.
They appear to think that the people must
elect them at all hazards. Mr. Dissioger,
candidate for Treasurer, thinks that be
certainly will be elected, and talks of dis
posing of his store. He expects to make a
fortune out of the office, besides helping his
friend Eicbboltz and a few others who de
pend altogether upon office for support.
What a glorious time there will be when
the Ring get a hold of the county funds.
Bui then there are such a large number of
ungrateful voters who will not vote that
ticket, and there will be a sad disappoint
ment to them.
Hon. Sanuel E. Dimmick, Attorney
Geoetal of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, died at the Iochiel Hotel, Har$
rubarg, on the 11th insL, from an attack
ot pneumonia.
The Editor or the Democrat, his
Man Friday and the "Mcle" Audi
tor. The readers of the Democrat, last
week, must have been greatly surprised
when they examined the statement given
by the editor and his man "Friday," Mr.
Rietz. Pel sons who are ' unacquainted
with the misrepresentations of the Ring,
are, no doubt, astonished to find that such
iniquitous jobs" should pass through the
hands of such "honest" men as Mr. 1. .
Rett. Commissioner, and Mr. C. Hotten
stein, the "mule" auditor, without being
discovered until just previous to the elec
tion. The trio determined to get into
office by deception, very adroitly bolstered
up a statement calculated to deceive the
voters of the county, to effect the election
of the Ring candidates. In the first in
stance they truthfully say that "the people
of this county are pretty well informed by
this time of the transactions of the Repub
lican Board of Commissioners during the
years of 1873 and 1874," but their state
ments are not calculated to inform the pub
lic uf the truth, and they manipulated
their figures to suit their case in deceiving
the honest voters. In their unfair state
ment thev eive the full amounts without
making any deductions, nor is the full
amount paid into the treasury given cor
rectly. We will here show how they at
tempt to deceive.
The Democrat's version of the land, sales
is given thus :

To tois is attached the certificate of Mr.
D. -S. Rietz, stating that "the above figures
re correct as taken by him from the books
in the Commissioner's office, but not ap
pearing in the Auditor's Report in full for
1873 and 1874." Mr. Jos. Eisely (Demo
crat,) was then in the board of auditors,
lie is acknowledged one of the best audi
tors in the county, and subscribed to the
following statement on the docket, viz :
Commissioner's sales in 1873
and 1874 amounted to 822,047 69
Leas uine tracts not paid, 1,388 10
820,059 59
Amount paid into the treasury, 14,833 09
85,820 50
In 1873 aud 1874 there were fifty tracts
sold and as will be seeu, nine were not
naid. The countv realized from these
tracts which were located in. this and ad
joining counties, above all expenses for
surveying, hunting up records, advertising.
&c., the handsome sum of 314,833 09.
The advertising bill which the Democrat
says was to increase '-'agency" profits in
sale of tax titles," was partly "increased"
by the Democrat, as will be seen by the
following itemized bill filed in the Commis
sioners' office.

Wat'town Record to slips or circulars, 2 50
September 30, 1874.
Recelved Payment,
1L C CUMMINGS
It will be seen by the above that the
editor of the Watsontown Record charged
$2.50 extra for slips or circulars which he
enclosed, instead of inserting the advertise
ment in his paper. His exiense for these
slips amounted to 82.50, and were furnish
ed by the editor of the Democrat, the 850
in addition were clear gain, which he
pocketed. This may account for his great
lamentations about stealing and extorting
from the tax-payers.
Let us see now how the above compares
with a sale of lands in 1867 under Demo
cratic Commissioners, On the 10th of
April, 1867, a Commissioner's sale took
place and 1935 acres and 5 town lots were
sold for which there is no entry made in
the Commissioner's sale book, and all that
can be found is that they returned to the
treasury 849.00, as will be seen by the
Auditor's report for 1867. We would ask
our neiehbor of the Democrat to tell what
became of the balance of the money realized
from that sale. The tax-payers would like
to know. Here we have the naked fact
that the Democratic Board of Commission
ers in 1867, sold 1935 acres of land and
town lots, distributed the money arising
from the sales, made no entries or kept no
record of their disbursements, and leave
nothing behind to show what they receiv
ed or what they expended, but simply re
turn a balance of 849.00 as the county's
share of the proceeds. What would
farmer say if his agent, who sold 1935
bushels of his wheat and returned a bal
ance of 849.00, without giviug any account
of his sales. Would he be satisfied because
bis agent was a Democrat ? But such has
been the policy of our Democratic leaders
in this county, and all we ask is, to com
pare their acts with those of the Republi
can Board or Commissioners woo keep a
full record of all their transactions, and
have no occasion to cover up their tracks,
as has been done by their Democratic pre
decessors.
The editor of the Democrat, aud his man
"Friday," Mr. Reitz, have also compiled
a half column of figures to ebow the differ
ences for county printing and attorney
fees, from 1865 to 1874. The editor is not
generous enough even to explain why the
printing was higher in 1874 than in any
previous year, ItJ 1874 the new constitu
tion went into effect, and all the blank
forms in the office bad to be reprinted to
conform with the new constitution. The
election proclamation, with the different
sections, referring to it, in the new consti
tution, made a heavier expense, and elec
tion blanks were furnished to election polls
which sold in other counties for 81 a piece,
for less than one-fourth that amount.
The District attorney and county attor
ney fees are itemized, and in the county
attorney's account, the editor says there
were no dates to either bills or receipts.
The editor's man "Friday," Mr. Reitz,
was a commissioner during the two years
he alleges this occurred, and he was elect
ed to watch the interests of the tax-payers,
and had no business to allow them to pass
if they were not correct, and he should be
held responsible for every neglect of such
duty. They, however, all passed, and he
attached his signature to the orders for the
payment, without a word of complaint
until now. He now says, that he did ob
ject to a bill for attorney fees, which is
still unpaid. Will Mr. Reitz state whether
he objected to the bill because he consider
ed it wrong, and whether be did not tell
certain parties, that if Mr. Sober would
allow him a consideration that he would
guarantee that an order for the amount
would be grauted ?
In concluding the article in the Democrat
the editor states that Mr. Gray bad received
about 81500 for his salary as clerk for one
year. Gray's extras for entering local
taxes for the different township?, was only
a few dollars more than John Farnsworth's,
the former clerk received, as will be seen
by referring to the audited account fcr the
year 1872. If Mr. Gray did receive 8500
extra, we sunoose Mr. Reitz and the rest
of the Commissioners were satisfied he had
earned it, or they would not have granted
him an order for the amount. At least
Mr. Reitz, is not known to have objected
to the bill. The 8500 extra and the 850
per month to Mr. Gray, do not, however.
reach the amount stated by the Democrat,
viz : 81500, according to our arithmetic,
it only amounts to 81100k Mr. Farns
worth's salary as clerk in 1S72 was 8800,
and he received 8496 95 for entering local
taxes, making a total of $1,200 95, accord
ing to the auditor's report of that year, but
we have not heard that any one has ever
complained about it. We leave it to the
judgment of honest and intelligent readers
of the Democrat whether they consider.
such men as Messrs. Reitz and Hotten
stein, are fit to hM auy position of public
trust, if their statement were true, and they
allowed it to pass through their hands with
out objections, until just ou the eve of an
election, six months or a year after. It
must occur to every candid mind, that
they intend to deceive somebody, or else
thev are guilty of the worst kind of ro
guery.
True Appeal of D. S. Reitz, Demo
cratic Candidate for Oounty Com
missioner. 1st. Mr. Reitz, under bis own
signature in the Democrat of last week
saye that Wm. A. Sober received 81,550 for
professional services in 1874, and appealed
to the record for proof. In this particular
he wilfully fabricates for purposes of his
own election what he knows has no founda
tion in truth ; for instead of the bills being
paid for 1874, they were for services run
nine through the two years Mr. Sober
acted as counsel for the Commissioners,
and in cases, many of which began long
before Mr. S. was selected for that position.
2d. Mr. Reitz, as Commissioner, passed
upon every one of the bills in question, and
signed every order granted by him as such
Commissioner, after an open and fair pre
sentation and discussion of the merits and
demerits of such bills.
3d. The amount of monev saved to the
County Treasury by the professional ser
vice of Mr. Sober aggregates over 830,000,
as will also appear by the record to which
Mr. Reitz appeals as evidence of his alle
gations, providing he (Mr. R.) would have
the honesty and candor to give them in
full , instead of furnishing a mutilated and
grossly garbled statement, such as appear
ed in the Dtmocrat of last week under his
"sign manual" as aforesaid.
4th. If Mr. Jleitt was right in his state
ment in the paper referred to, especially
when he hints dishonesty and exorbitancy
in the charges tor professional services in
question, then he is the most dishonest and
fool-hardy of the parties to this transac
tion, for the reason that be not only passed
the bills referred to, aud granted orders
i.r tuub ai&uM wimu ttw sjoudit Trea
sury,
but he also was mulish or incom
petent, and, withal, dishonest, when he
failed to call upon the Auditors of the
county, who (Mr. Hottenstuin included
see bis minority report) passed, aud with
out a word of objection approved and al
lowed the bills in question to disallow and
reject them.
5th. In point of fact, the charges made
by Mr. Sober, considering the great benefit
he has secured to the county in the saving
of large amounts of money referred to,
were ueiiuer exorbitant nor disnonest as
intimated by Mr. R., but was a very mod
erate compensation for the important results
secured by bis euergy and attention to the
county ailairs. Who, indeed, can pretend
to the contrary, save only a falling candi
date such as Mr. Reitz, who would parade
bis own dishonesty aud ignorance if any of
these elements were in it, that he might
prop himself up.
6lh. Finally, when was Mr. Reitz act
ing honestly and fairly ? Was it when he
was doing his duty as a Commissioner or
when he sigued the -cards" in question
Is his motive not apparent ? This whole
matter will be fully ventilated next
week, and the public will theu see the
wrong Mr. R. would perpetrate on a pri
vale citizen in the forlotn effort to save his
own sinkiug ship.
The Ohio Election. The election in
Ohio was one of the most important since
the war which results in the triumphant
reaffirmation of those great principles of
truth and justice on which the Republican
party rests as on a foundation of everlast
ing rock. The voice of the people is once
more heard in clear and unmistakable
tones, declaring their unchangeable faith
in the ideas which that party represents.
and condemning reactionary purposes as
inimical to the best interests of the coun
try.
Ohio has ever been a Republican strong
hold. During the past two years vigilance
has been relaxed, disorder allowed to pre
vail in the ranks and indifference and die
affection permitted to nave lull sway.
With these advantages in their favor, and
with the impetus of success elsewhere ac
quired, the Democracy gained a nominal
predominance. But with important issues
squarely presented, with the whole country
interested in the result, indifference van
ishes, the old spirit revives, tne lines re
form, the comrades who stood shoulder to
thoulder through years of peril and adver
sity, once more unite under the old banners
and bear them 00 to renewed victory.
The national significance ot this success
cannot be over estimated. Both parties
have looked to Ohio as the oracle to pro-
Dhesv of the coming Presidential contest
Ohio speaks, and the country will accept
with rejoicing her emphatic utterance.
The people will not commit the destinies of
this nation to tne keeping 01 loose wnoni
they learned in '.be awful hour of danger to
thoroughly distrust. I nis is tne assurance
Ohio gives, and true hearts throughout the
land will welcome it wiln thankfulness.
To the Republicans of Pennsylvania this
timelv victory will prove a special occasion
for reioicine. The election of Governor
Hartranft was in any event well assured
but the triumph of Hayes will add an en
thuBiasm to the conduct of the campaign
that will carry our whole ticket with in
creased majorities in every district.
Anything for a Change. That we
have been suffering in business for some
time, we can not deny. So severe has been
the pressure that rich and poor alike have
felt its influence. Its cause has been tne
subject of anxious inquiry some attribute
it to a contraction of currency, and others
to extravagance of the government, but
on a close investigation it is found that
nither of these will explain the truo cause :
as to contraction it is found, that the cur
rency is not contracted at all, but expand
ed by many millions even since the panic
began, and if it were true that all the money
had been squandered as the unscrupulous
press of the Democracy assert it would
not materially affect the financial condition
of the county. Relying on this condition
the Democratic party expect to reap a large
harvest from those who do not inquire m-
to the cause, aud will vote for a charge,
since anything is better than the preseut
It is the purpose of this article briefly to
dicuss this question. Is any charge better
than the present conditiou of thiugs r
Among the causes of our present distress,
is the lack of remunerative employment,
and that this is largely owing to the impor
tation of foreign goods is apparent. This
is true, notwithstanding we have a tariff
for revenues. Now if this were repealed
through the placing in power of the Demo
cratic Free Trade party, the hope of return
ing prosperity would be indefinitely post
poned, and the sufferer of to-day could
fini solace by studying the history of the
pauper who labors in Europe for a pittance
that dooms bim to prepetual poverty and
entails it upon his posterity. A change in
thts case would be for the worse. The man
that recklessly votes out of power a party
that has tried to protect the natioual honor,
that has tried to protect the American in
dustry against the friend of monopolies, the
Democratic party that has heretofore
planted itself squarely in the way of this
enemy of protection, that has conducted
many of its political carapaigus by the aid
of British gold, to degrade our laborers to
paupesisni might make a chance in this case
for the worse.
No party could have avoided the lcgili
mate result of the Democratic rebelliou
The expansion consequent upon the large
issue of money gave unreal values, and
now in returning to a true basis the shrink
ase bears heavily for a time, but a little
faith and firm adhesion to principles will
bring us to the same successful issue, finan
cially. that crowned our efforts on the bat
tie field. We do not believe that this cry
of the Democratic party will drive a singl
voter out of the Republicon ranks, since
we know that Republicans vote intelli
gently.
The editor of the Democrat, his man
"Fridav" Mr. Reitz. and the "mulo'
auditor are determined to force the peopl
to elect the Ring ticket. Mr. Reitz who is
"very knowing man," has signed several
cerificates for the editor for publication
last week, certifying to Eicbboltz's and
Hottenetein'B figures. Any one that knows
Mr. Reitz will not pretend to say that be
was aware what he did sign. Let any one
ask him questions as to the county
finances, and he will receive the answer,
"Well, I don't know." One of these certi
ficates state that Mr. Sober had prescuted
a bill for 81,730 00 for professional services
and that the bill was objected to by him
self and that "he positively refused to pay
them." We now ask Mr. Reitz to be can
did aud state wuetner he refused to pay
the bill of Mr. Sober before he sent a friend
to him offering to guarantee the payment
of his bill for a certain consideration, or
whether he positively refused to pay after
wards, when iuformed that there was noth
ing to be made in the way of a "divey ?"
Au Act of Injustice.
Several weeks ago we mentioned the (act
of Conductor Samuel Trump marrying the
rinncrhtpr or A mo K. Kann. on th rmi
kurwo ouuoury ana scans rove. Mr,
Trump has been running as a conductor on
tbe Northern Central for several years, and
a more obliging official conld not be found
on the road, but as he had stolen Kapp's
daughter his bead had to fall in the basket.
The history of the case is about as fol
lows : The Conductor and the young lady
concluded to get married, and tbe Con
ductor, like an honorable man, went to
Mr. Kapp and asked him for his daughter.
Kapp looked at him, then turned and
walked off, saying, "I will not answer
your question." Ho went home, an as his
daughter was his private secretary he call
ed her iuto his room, and ordered her to
write a letter to Hon. Thos. A Scott, de
manding tbe discbarge of Trump. She re
fused and said she would die before she
would write the letter. Kapp then secured
the services of another party to write tbe
letter, and the daughter, learning the fact,
besought her father, on her knees, not to
send it. Whether he sent it or not, we did
not learn, but certain it is Mr. Trump is
now discharged, tbe act of injustice taking
affect on Saturday, September 25th.
Most of our readers know Mr. Trump,
cither by name or reputation. He is a na
tive of Marietta, in which place bis aged
parents now reside. His mother is over
80 years of age, anil bis father is about 75,
and crippled with rheumatism. By econo
my Conductor Trump saved enough to buy
a home for his parents, and from his boy
hood he has beeB tbeir sole support, but
now Kapp has caused his ruin. He has
not only been removed from bis position by
the officers of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, but he is refused the privilege of
going to work on any other road, that is,
the officers of the road will not give him a
letter recommending him, without which
be cannot obtain employment as a railroad
man.
Conductor Trump claims that Kapp
alone is to blame for his removal, but we
are surprised that Hon. Thos. A. Scott,
Mr. Cassatt and their associates, should
descend to such low and dishonorable
busiuess as to discbarge a faithful employee
simply because he married the daughter
of a man without that man's consent. It
looks as if the officers of the road would en
gage in almost any business. Not a breath
of suspicion has been uttered against Mr.
Trump, and even on tbe day of bis mai
riage, in tbe cars, it is not charged that he
neglected his business, but simply because
be bad the audacity a poor conductor
to think of wedding tbe daughter of tbe old
stage boss, he must be ruined, if possible.
Everybody on the line of the Northern
Central and P. & E. 11. R. knows Trump,
and dissatisfaction reigns supreme over his
removal. The people of Northumberland,
where Kapp resides, are indignant, and it
would be tbe best stroke of policy that
Hon Thomas A. Scott ever made to rein
state the young man. He is a good, noble
and and honorable a mau who respects
and provides for his aged parents. His re
cord at home is of the best, and tbe leading
citizens of Marietta, among whom we may
mention Messrs. Paris, Ilaldeman and Ste-
!)hen F. Eagle, will testify to his worth and
aithfulness.
We pen these lines without tbe knowl
edge of Mr. Trump, but we do it in the in
terest of humanity. The attempt to crush
bim is childish, but it has its effect. He is
utterly ruined and despondent, and it be
comes his friends to send him words of
good cheer. Columbia Herald.
We fully endorse all that is said in the
above, in regard to the excellent character
and general good conduct of Mr. Trump.
But we are unwilling to believe that Col.
Thos. A. Scott or Mr Cassatt consented
to the discbarge of Mr. Trump for no bet
ter reasons than those assigned above. We
would advise Mr. Trump to lay bis case
before these .officers, who would scorn to
aid any one in petty malice and persecu
tions of this character. Ed. American.

tense excitement prevails uere to-mgnt.
The streets are thronged with people.
Crowds gather about the newspaper offices
and political headquarters auxiouly await
ing the returns. The most meagre infor
mation is eagerly soized upon and as eager
ly devoured.
uaye's election sure.
Enough is already known here to insure
Hayes' election by a good majority, esti
mated at this hour at from 10,000 to 12,000.
LARGE vote and republican gains.
The vote lias been unprecedently large,
being estimated at 600,000. As compared
with the vote of 1873, the State generally
shows small Republican eains. The Re
publican gains in the Democratic cities are
heavy. In Cincinnati the Germans went
almost solid for Hayes, and piled up a hand
some vote. Hayes carries this county
(Hamilton) by a small majority, Hayes
wins in Columbus and vicinity, where the
school question was warmly agitated. The
Western Reserve has come out strongly,
and will make a handsome showing for
Hayes.
THE SAME OLD STORY.
Cincinnati, Oct. 131 a. m. Returns
are still being received in this city. Th ey
affect the result only in so far as they give
room to hope that Hayes' majority will be
even larger than was at first estimated.
The slaughter of the Allenites has been
terrible.
FROM ANOTHER POINT OK VIEW.
Columbus, Oct. 13 1:50 a.m. Scatter
ing returns received here indicate the an
nihilation of the Allen forces. Hayes tri
umphs through the State. In this Demo
cratic stronghold Hayes will have over
seven hundred majority. The neighbor
ing towns and counties will do nearly if
not quite as well. There is great rejoicing
among the Republicans.
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 13 A. M.l One
hundred and thirty-three townships and
wards give a net Republican gain of 3797.
Hamilton county is doubtless Democra
tic by 500 majority, but this will not affect
the result, as Cuyahoga county will nearly
offset this. Prominent Democrats here
give up the State, and the Ilepuplicans are
jubilant.
Toledo and Lucas counties give about
800 majority on the Republican folate ticket
aud elect the complete Republican couuty
ticket. Northwestern Ohio generally gives
Republican gains.
IOWA.
A Heavy Vote Polled TnE Repub
lican Ticket Elected.
Davenport, Oct. 13.
The election was quiet, no enthusiasm.
A heavy vote was polled. Liberal, Rick,
elected by 500 to 800 majority, except Au
ditor, which is doubtful.
Des Moines, OcL 13.
The Republican ticket is probably elect
ed, but tbe majority cannot yet be estimat
ed. The Republicans carried Clinton by
100; May land county by 150 to 300 majori
ty. Story county gives a Republican ma
jority. Treraont gives 150 majority for the
Democratic State ticket.
Kirkwood, Republican, for Governor,
has about 2,000 majority. In this, Polk
county, Republican county ticket is all
elected except treasurer. Returns from
vote at large are very meagre.
Clinton and Pottawatw.M counties have
gone Republican, and Johnson and Des
Moines counties Democratic. The chair
man of the Republican State Committee
estimates the majority for Kirkwood in the
State from 30 to 35,000.
NEBRASKA.
A Quiet Election The Republican
Ticket Elected.
Omaha, Oct. 13.
Tbe election yesterday was quiet. Much
scratching was done. The State ticket
was for a new Constitution, three Supreme
Judges and Board of Regents for the Uni
versity. All the Republican candidates
are elected by about 5,000 majority, and
the New Constitution is adopted by the
same majority. The judges elected are
George D. Lake, Danlal Gantt and Judge
Maxwell.
Rioting and Incendiarism in the
Anthracite Region.
Pottsville, October 10. Considerable
shooting and several breaches of the peace
occured at Shenandoah last night, and at
one time there were fears of a riotous dis
turbance. Two men were shot, one Rich
ard Finnell, slightly, and Jim Johns, sever
ly wounded and throat cut. In attempting
to make arrests, the chief burgess, con
stable and police were frequently hot at
though without effect. One dispach states
that over a hundred shots were fired at the
officers on tbe principal streets where the
mob supposed that the officers were. Johns
was robbed of a watch and a sum of money.
To-day . there was much excitement and
the citizens generally anticipated another
outbreak to-night, and the deputy sheriff
was compelled to issue a proclamation this
afternoon. At Mahanoy City there were a
number of incendiary fires, two dwelling
houses and three stables being burned and
three men were arrested for inciting a riot.
A later dispatch states that during to-day
(Sunday) ten additional arrests were made
for inciting riot and incendiarism.
later intelligence.
10 r. M. All is quiet at .Shenandoah,
though the town is under a heavy guard
by the Sheriff's posse, and special police.
It is thought that tbe disturbances grew
out of the very jealous and bad feeling ex
isting among the miners there of different
nationalities and may result in more dis
turbances and violence ; but the authorities
are confident that they can preserve peace,
with the assistance of the posse and police.
Pottsville, Oct. 11. At Shenandoah
to noon to-day all was reported quiet, but
affairs where in an unsettled condition,
business being at a standstill, and precau
tions being taken in every direction to pre
vent another outbreak. The situation this
morning is unchanged, and but one arrest
was made last night by the police, a man
being out after nine o'clock, not heeding
the deputy sheriff's proclamation.
a ripple of excitement.
There was some excitement tfm after
noon, caused by a detachment of police
starting in pursuit of a tramp who bad
attacked Joseph Taylor on tbe outskirts of
the town. Taylor bad business at the
William Penn colliery, and hod collected
same money, ine man aemanamg ni
funds, Taylor quickly grasped for his revol
ver, when the tramp suddenly sprang upon
bim, seizing his hands and at the same
time drawing his own revolver on Taylor.
A scuffle ensued, the tramp discharged
the weapon, aiming at his heart. Taylor
made a sudden turn in time to turn the
evol ver and save his life, the ball grazing
his ear and passing through the rim of his
hat. Taylor then shot the man in the hip,
aud came to town, fearing more trouble.
The man has not been found and has proba
bly been taken care of by parties in the
neighborhood.
AGOTHER M.1DER.
There is excitement in the city to night,
occasioned by a watchman being fired up
on at a collierv in New Philadelphia. The
watchman, named Devine, is wounded,
Physicians were telegraphed for, and, ap
prehenuing trouble, during tbe night a
number of special police left iu carriages

THE OUTRAGE LAST NIGHT.
Pottsville. Oct. 11. A Thomas
Devine, the night watchman at the Pal

shot and probably mortally wounded to
night, while on his way to work. His as
sassin escaped.
Correspondence.
OIK JiEW YORK LETTER.
THE END OF A QUACK BUSINESS CRUEL
TY TO CHILDREN THE FASHIONS
POLITICS.
New York, Oct. 12, 1875.
Who in all these United States ha not
heard of II. T. Helmbold, the Manufac
turer and vender of Buchu ? Two-thirds
of the people have paid money for his med
icines, and whether they received any bene
fit therefrom or not, they may be benefited
by reading 6omewhat of his history. Last
Thursday "Dr." Helmbold was, for the
fourth time, incarcerated in a lunatic
asylum, where he will probably stay the
reinaiuder of his life.
Henry T. Helmbold commenced life as a
druggist's clerk in Philadelphia, progress
ing, by the help of a brother, to the pro
prietorship of a small drug store. He con
ceived the idea of putting up Buchu in the
form faiuce so well known, twenty years
ago, and after various ups and downs he
failed three times succeeded in establish
ing it as a standard patent medicine, and
received from its sale an income of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars per annum.
But the doctor could not stand prosperity,
The more his good 3 sold the more extrava
gant he became. He commenced a lite of
the wildest excess in point of expenditures
ever known in this city. He had one six
in-hand team, the six horses costing him
not less than 820,000. The drag to which
they were driven was the most expensive
and elegant ever imported to America.
Then he bad a score or more of otner
horses for every purpose that borse-desh
is used. Of course he was compelled to
have large and elegant stables, and au
army of people to care for and manage his
equine interests. His principle coachmen
was paid a salary of 83,000 per annum,
with rooms aud subsistence added. Tbe
doctor was not badly off for places to live,
He had a house in New York, a mansion
at Long Branch, and the most expensive
apartments in the most expensive hotels in
the country sheltered him at times. He
seemed to have an itch for throwing away
money. It was nothing for him to take
his six-noise drag, with his coachmen and
outriders, with a full retinue of servants,
to Baltimore or Boston, engage the most
sumptuous apartments and astonish tbe
natives by a display such as they bad
never seen before. The little fellow would
get into that immense drag all alone, with
a coachman six feet six on the box, and
two footmen of the same proportions on
behiud, all dressed in white livery, and
would be driven in solitary grandeur all
over the city, bowing at every manifesta
tion, as pleased as a child with a new toy.
The mock eulogies of interested newspa
pers he took for houest tributes, and the
flattery of hungry sycophants he swallowed
as sweet morsels.
He believed himself to be a really great
man, and nothing could be too gross for
bim to believe of himself, consequently he
was surrounded with a mob of parasites
who traded flattery for money. These
fellows absolutely got the little man to ac
tually believe that he could be President,
and he spent a great deal of money to briug
himself before the people.
And while all his vanity and insanity,
be was in many respects a shrewd business
man. He was the boldest advertiser that
ever lived, and so far as his legitimate
business was concerned, it was well and
shrewdly done. He bad the trick of start
ling tbe public into buying his medicines,
and be was the closest and shrewdest man
in the business in dealing with newspapers
He never threw away any money in his
business. Could he have managed outside
as well as inside, lie would have been
worth 85,000,000 to-day. It was nothing
uncommon for him to contract 8100,000 to
8200,000 for advertising at a single stroke.
He made contracts to the amount of 8175,
000 for advertising his "Catawba Pills"
before a single box had been put up.
But wine, gambling, borses, pimps and
parasites did their work at last, and three
years ago Henry Helmbold slipped away
to Europe a pauper. A dozen great for
tunes had slipped through bis fingers, and
be was compelled to live on the continent
on the charity of a brother. His magnifi
cent stores in New York and Philadelphia
his horses, his carriages, everything went
under the hammer, leaving uothiug but
what would not sell. His "friends" all
left him of course, and when he returned a
few months ago he was as crazy as a loon.
His wife was compelled to send him to au
asylum where he will probably die. Vale.
Helmbold. Tbe only use he ever was to
the world that endured him was to point a
moral. There wasn't enough of him to
adorn a tale.
BUSINESS
continues fairly good, though not brisk.
There have been some heavy movements
of dry goods of a forced nature, and some
thing is doing in other goods, but it is far
from satisfactory. One of the largest tea
houses in the city told me that the month
of September was tbe worst month they
had had since they had been in trade, and
that October promised nothing better.
The fact is there is a horrible lack of confi
dence that restricts buyers to just what
they can get on with ; and the inflation
movement in Ohio and Pennsylvania has
increased tbe feeling of uncertainty. Af
ter tbe election when the inflationists in
those States are dead and buried it is
hoped there will be a revival. But trade
cannot possibly get into a regular channel
this year, and business men are taking in
sail accordingly.
THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN
finds its hands full in its terribly needed
work. At the last meeting the society's
attorney reported a list of convictions
enough to sicken the heart of any who
reads them ; mostly of he cases I mention
ed in my last. A man, arrested for beat-
ina a little niece eiizht vears old with a
hoop studded with nails, gets ten days inEW Y0RKTRIBUNE.
the city prison. The child, every one will
be glad to hear, has been taken out of his
hands and placed in a protectory. A
father, for beating his son nine years old
over tbe head with a shovel, gets three
month's imprisonment. A woman, for
cruelly beating a child which she tried to
run off with, has sis months. Tbe Italian
orxan grinder find their trade of taking
children ronod to beg, sadly interfered
with, and tbe parents who let out children
for this purpose are fined 850. The most
pitiful case is that of the German boy of
seventeen, of whom I wrote last week,
whose mother dying suddenly without a
will, left him in unrestrained possession of
a handsome small property, to gain which.
one of the lowest 3f low woman used her
arts over the boy, keeping him under her
influence, hopelessly drunk for . month's,
till he was reducsd to cmbecilily. The
society has taken him from the harpy's
hands, and had a responsible guardian ap
pointed over him. The boy is recovering,
and it is hoped will become fit to have
charge of his property when of age.
THE FASHIONS.
Last advices from abroad say that the
most elegant wearers of dress have aban
doned tournure, and hoops entirely, and
scant dresses made graceful by drapery
drawn about tiiera in close, wrinkled folds,
relieve both the eye and the purse. This
mode, the most ambitious of our ladies
have made haste to adopt; and before
spring the manufacturers of crinoline, will
probably have to confine themselves to
making the old fashioned hair-cloth skirts,
the only thing ladies witl tolerate to sup
port their draperies, close gipsy and sailor
shops, in felt or velvet are the choice for
bats and bmnets. Let it be said that it is
well always not to take the first striking
styles as the fashion for a season. There
is always a second choice, quieter and
more becoming, which the best people as
sume, and which really gives tone to the
fashions in general. The flaring halo
brims, and scoop shaped hats, which, with
their masses of flowers and feather trim
ming, gave such an absurd shape to the
head an arc quietly discarded for th? mod
est, and becoming Btyles which are the last
from Paris.
Also plaids will be too common for pres
entation among people of taste by Novem
ber, and rather wide strips in dark shades
so closely alke, as to be nearly invisible,
are now chosen for really stylish suits.
Plain velvet skirts take the place of silk
ones beneath these over-dresses, and the
cost is little more than that of a fully
trimmed silk, while the wear is much more
satisfactory. Full suits of wool material
are also seen again, with cloak of plain
beaver covered with striped braiding.
POLITICS.
Tbe political pot is boiling more quietly
here. All my hopes of a row among the
Democracy have vanished in the air.
Morrissey who breathed s vengeance on
Tammany has quietly subdued "for the
good of the party." All of which means
that he has been promised his "divey,"
that his bluster was for the purpose of ex
torting terms and nothing else. Conse
quently, the pocr plundered city is to be
still plundered
Tbe news from Ohio indicating the de
feat of inflation Allen inspires the business
men of New York with a little courage.
If Ohio kills Allen and Pennsylvania puts
the knife to Pershing's throat, a long stride
will 5 made toward retaining that confi
dence, without which there is no use of
talking of business. Tbe people want to
touch solid ground in governmental mat
ters before they will venture their money
into enterprises necessary to brisk and
busy times. Mem. Republicans, for the
sake of the country, do your whole duty.
