After a hot contest, rsonally
omJurtfd by the D -mocratic lW
deniial candidate, l Republicans
.,;mr,fc.Ml bv a verr close vote.
Haves and Wiirr.i.nu
are unou:e-
tionablv elected, having earned
1 M-tnrnl votes to 14 for Tii i'KN
and Hem-kicks.
CooGdentof uec-, their defeat
by o meaner a majority has crazed
the Democrat, and tbey are wildly
claimine a half sccre cf States as yet
doubtful, honing against hope,
and
u..nW yielding them up one
bv
Uw..v j a
one, aa luller returns detnonstrtae
the certainty of their having gone
Republican. Thus California, Ore
gon, Nevada, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
even Ohio and Pennsylvania have
been claimed as voting for Tilie,
until full returns were received from
each ; when each in turn has been
abandoned, and the Democracy, flow
in the last ditch, are persistently
fchricking that they have carried
eilber Louisiana, South Carolina or
Florida, or all three of tbem, in the
face of sufficient returns to flow that
tbey have voted now, as always
heretofore, in favor of the Republican
candidates.
The absurdity f their claiming
three, or evec one of these decidedly
Republican states, shows the desper
ate shifts to which tbey are driven to
break the force of their unexpected
fall, and we presume they will persi.-t
in their folly until the vote is finally
counted and declared, by the National
Senate.
Though the officiai returns from the
so-called doubtful states of Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina will
probably not be received for several
days, we eutertain not the slightest
doubt that Governor Hayes Las been
fleeted President; and nothing but
the vilest tampering with the ballots
in those States can alter tLe result.
Ot a Senator. Col. E. 1. Yi tzy
is re-elected to the Stale Senate from
this district, by a majority of 510.
Hickok has 009 majority in Bedford,
and 402 in Fulton Yi'tzy's major
ity in this county being 1530.
At this writing it looks as if we
had gained enough members of Con
grssto reverse the confederate major
ity of seventy-two iu the present
House. The returns are not definite
enough to authorize us to make t'.e
positive assertion, but certain it is,
that the Democratic majority, if any,
will be a verv small one.

Sme of the callow copperheads of

because elected by a majority of one

As swn as it was ascertained that
it would require the rote of 1'lorida,
. South Carolina or Louisiana to secure
the election of Tilpen, a eimoltano-
ous rush to those States was made by
the Democratic manipulators from
New York and other points, doubtless
with the hope of bo tampering with
the vote as to change the result.
Meanwhile the Democratic press and
politicians, in the face of adverse re
turns, clamorously claim that they
bav voted for their candidates, thns
fiuUiDg themselves in a position to

rattling fight made against the heavy

the neglected little Alligator State
6teps in with her four votes, defeats
the cunning little schemer, and plants
victory on the brow of 111 tuei:ioki
1$. Hayes. Another Goliath, ia all
his boasted strength, has been slain
by a bolt hurled by the bund of a
despised t tripling.
At the time this paper goes to
press, (Tuesday evening,) our confi
dence in the election of Governor
Hayes hes been htrtnthi utd by
fuller information, hiucd wriiing our
previous article. The conduct of the
Democratic leaders indicates, as did
their audacious claim of Colorado,
even after the Republican Governor
had been inaugurated, that they sire
conscious of being fairly beaten.
Whether we thall get the votes of
Florida, South Carolina and Louisi
ana lawlully returned aud officially
declared, remuins yet to be determin
ed. It must not be forgotten that in
all three of these states there was an
antecedent probability of Republican
success. South Carolina wa not
even
claimed bv the Democrats.
Florida has gone Republican at every
election, save one. since
lif . i
was then only lost to us by 22S.
Even in 1S7-I, when the "tidal wave"'
swept over the country, the Republi
can majority was 1,0") I. Louisiana
is as certainly a Republic): n sta;e as
Pennsylvania ; and the most
most the Democrats had the hardi-l
hood to do, was to place her, with this
state, in their "doubtful"' list, while
her Republicans claimed that they
would give a larger majority for
Hayes than would Ohio. Their can
vass 4was vigorous and thorough,
their lists showed a heavy majority,
and .they were perfectly assured of
success.
On a fair vote and honest returns
there can be no doubt that al! three of
these states are strongly Republican,
and so recorded their votes on Tues
day last, thus electing Ritherkord
B. Haves President of the L'nited
States; and we have an abiding faith
that it will so be conclusively proven,
before tbe next issue of this journal.
Tllltl'.AT.
When the Democratic leaders com
mence crying fraud, tbev make con
fession that they are whipped. Tbey
began this yesterday about the vote
in Louisiana, when in the nature of
things they could not know whether
fraud had been used or not, the par
ticulars about the election not being
known. Rut to the intelligent Dem
ocrat, a Republican victory is con
clusive evidence of fraud; while a
Democratic victory is a sure testimo
ny that evcrythiug has been conduct
ed with scrupulous hoce-ty.
It requires a good deal of assurance
for those men to come forward now
with allegations of unfairness, when
it is notorious that they have carried
Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas, Ala
bama, aud Texas by defying and
trampling upou the rights of Repub
lican citizens in thosa Slates. Louis
iana has, as everybody knows, a fair
Republican majority of at least 20,
000. Talm the respective numbers
of tbe colored and white voters of
fcUte, and
no other conclusion
can be reached. In five parishes the
right of Republicans to vote was vio
lently overthrown, but in spite of
this the Stat has been carried for
Hayes. Now we are regaled with
threats as to what the White Line
Democracy of Louisisaa will do to
prevent tbe counting of the electoral
vote. "Stand by us, ''telegraph itese
gentry to their Democratic allies in
the North, "and we will fix matters
in Louisiana." One blatherskite in
Indianapolis, named Ryan, telegraph
ed back that a half-million of Demo
crats were ready to uphold tbe hand,
of the White Liners in their act of
revolution. Ryan lied. The De
mocracy of the North are ready to do
nothing of the kind. Neither a half
million of tbem nor half a hundred of
tbem will expose themselves to any
danger whatever in such business.
It u the old brag and bluster of 1 SOI
over again, and the Southern Demo
crats better not be fooled by it. Tbe
more sensible and respectable of
tbe Northern Democrats would not
sympathize wiio such a movement
anyway, and tbe oiLera are mere
bloviators, whose month ings mean
nothing, and who do all their fight
ing with their tongues.
We can afford to indulge onr oppo
nents in a good deal of enrsing and
raving under tbe mortification of de
feat, bat they better leave this talk
of revolution, to ecbool-boys. The
republicans have elected Mr. Hayes
fairly and honestly, and they trill nee

CmcAiio, November 12. The ex
citement over the election has some
what abated here, as well as in other
parts ot the country, but nsithcr in
terest nor hope in the breasts of poli
ticians and citizens Dispatches are
received almost houriy from various
sources confirmatory of the previous
reports about the three contested
Slates. Among them is one describ
ing the turbulence in Baltimore,
where it is hardly safe for a woman
to appear on the street. Rioters are
said to be parading about the city,
ready for any pretense for an out
break. Cheers for Jeff Davis and
Tilden are common.
A dispatch from New York says
the Svn, in replying to the question,
"What would be thejresult if a Hayes
elector died, when the Electoral Col
lege stood 1S." to 284?" expresses
the opinion that his colleagues
couldn't cast his vote for him, but
the election would be thrown into
the House of Representatives, it be
iug a tie. In this view of tbe case a
single assa.-sinauon might prevent
the will of the people. However,
the Republican Congressional gains
now seem so great that Republicans
wiil probably have the House in any
eveut, and will make mischievous
legislation impor-sible. This is a
most reassuring feature to mercbants
here and elsewhere, 8nd to ill busi
ness meu.
A New York dispatch says much
suspicion is excited from tbe fact tbat
prominent betting men there, who
arein the confidence of Tilden's man
agers, lu.ve within a few hours en
tirely changed their toue, arid are
now offering large odds tbat i'ilden
has carried Louisiana and Florida,
either or both. Governor Kellogg
continues telegraphing uuu great
confidence that Louisiana has elec ted
the whole Republican State ticket,
and four, perhaps five, out of six Con
gressmen. Democrats, deceived by
bogus dispatches and by the Confed
erate agents of the Associated Press
Soutb, have begun jolliSnations, sev-
erl of which are reported in Illinois,
Iowa, and Michigan to-oigbt. The!
Republicans are firm in the faith, as

Though the situation is unchanged,
the probability of a Democratic up
rising in the Soutb, if a fair count
gives Hayes the votes of South Car
olina, Florida and Lonsiana, is daily
growing stronger. Tbe President,
however, is not to be overawed by
any such prospective demonstrations,
and if an attempt be made, it will be
met with a punishment so summary
that tbe men who undertake it will
End a difference between Buchanan
in 18G1 and Grant in J87C. The
killing of United States officers, it is
stated, would even now justify deci
sive measures. It can be stated tbat
the President has no other wish than
a fair count and the maintenance of
order, and these be will have, and is
ready to assert them. .

m. South Carolina is safe for tbe

tbe State on the basis of beary re
ported majorities in three or four
oounties w bere toe Republicans have
heretofore had large majorities. If a

terrorism ; but, conceding to tbe
Democrats all that they claim in the
coun'ies not definitely beard from,
and giving tbe Republicans only
what we know, we have, as ibe re

One of ihe most wonderful escapes from
instant death that we have heard of for a
long time, occurred on the Pennsylvania
Railroad near tireensbttrg. this lorenoou.
The particulars, as they have reached us.
are as Ioilows: A passenger was standing
on the rear platform ot the last car of t!ie
First Cincinnati Express west, and bad ,i
little child in bis arms. Just as the train
was passing iu the vicinity ol Greensburg
at a very rapid rateot speed, he was jolted
otf and lell lo the road bed carrying with
him the infant.
"several ersons noticed the accident, and
the alarm was hurriedly given, when the
train was stopped and backed up. wilh Ihe
expectation of taking two mangled tortus
on board. Strange to relate Ihe child was
found to U; i-oiupnratively uninjured,
while the man was insensible, and bleed
ing from several severe wound, but in a
short time snlliciently recovered to be
taken to Pittsburgh on the second section
of the Cincinnati Express. Truly it was,
most miraculous escape, but the angels
took rare of the child. (Irrtn'ti'inj tri

tion ot jiodeling in butter was given yes
terJay atttruoon in the Commissioners'
Room, in the rear of Judges' Hall, by
.Mrs. Carolina S. Brooks. The modeling
of a fitc hi in i it" of a human lace was execut
ed by the artist in the presence ol seven!
Commissioners, members of tbe Women's
Centennial Executive Committee, and rep
resentatives ol the press, the sculptress
giving a practical demonstration i t her
method ot hiking casts in plaster of works
of art. A quantity ot butter, proliably ten
or tiltecn pounds was placed in a gnnite
waredish, and pressed down as compactly
as possible, with n small wooden, spoon
shaped implement, which, with another ol
like pattern, are the only tools made use of
and then deposited tor some Five miuules
in a refrigerator, in order to give the ma
terial a greater elasticity. The work was
then begun, and as the outline of a human
head began to develop biuiself, the artist
occasionally consulted a mirror, and by
noting the lights and shadows in the re
rlecMonof her own lace, was enabled to
apply these in the sculpturing of the lace

tbe task was heartily applauded by the au

Si n IDE. On Thursdav atlernoon List a
gliaim was thrown over our tow n bv the
report that Frank Jones, a well known
resident ol our town, bad commuted sui
cide by shooting him.-elf through the heart.
1 pon in vest igal ion the report proved loo
true, borne lime ago through these col
umns, we spoke of a ba wdy bouse being in
((eratioo in Latrolie. prank hail taken
up his residence at this bouse, and was Siv.
ing there at the time l.e shot bimselt. I n.
on the day on which be committed llie
deed, be had lieen drinking lo excess, und
alsuit lour o'clock in the afternoon, he
went to the above mentioned house and
bid the propriutress, Kate George, irood
bye, telling her that she would never see
him again. Sua was in tbe yard at the
time taking in some clothes which hid
been hung out to dry, ar.d did not think
anything of bis threat, having heard biiu
say the same thing several lime before.
However, she told him not to talk in that
way, .but U endeavor to make something
out ot bimselt. He lelt her. and eoimr
into the house, took otf bis cunt, vest, and
hoots, and putting a chair to rest his feet
upon, laid down across tbe foot ot the bed
with his head resting oq a pillow, and his
lcet on tbe chair. IJe then pulled his
shirt and under clothing up uader biscbin,
and placing the rouble of the revolver im
mediately ve his heart, ttred. The ball
pierced bis heart, and death must have
been instantaneous. The women, two
of whom were at tbe bouse at tbe time
as soon as they heard the report ol the re
volver, rushed into tbe room and found
him as above stated.
The weapon w ith w hich he took his life
is a neat, nickle-plated seven shisHer. and
was found lying Un his alxlonien. It
belonged to the afore mentioned Kate
George and she avers ibat she lett it locked
in a drawer in her room. Corouer Win
slieimer was notified and came lrom
Green- burg on the lute train tbe same eve
ning. A jury was appointed who, after
tbe evidence of a number ot witnewea, re
turned a verdict that the deceased came to
bis death by bis own hand.
Frank was a young man. aged 31 years,
and was universally liked by all who
knew him. He was" possessed, ol a good
ed uc u ion and excellent businesa qualities,
but tbe love of strong drink spoiled it ail.
Despondency induced by strong drink and
other troubles, led hint lo take his own
life. His sudden and unexpected dealh is
a matter of deep regret to bis inanv
friends. Lutmbo Aiieunee.
