The Republican majority on joint
ballot in the Ohio Legislature is 31.
Asd now the ghost of Grant strikes
terror to the so..ls of fearful adver
saries. The official count in Ohio shows
Foster's (Rep) majority over V.wiag
ta be i:,129.
Last year the Greenbackere, vote
in Ohio was 33,000, this year it is
whittled down to 9,129. Wtat a
falling off was there, my countrymen !!
Let every Republican voter go to
the polls on Tuesday next and cast his
rot for Rudolph Ferner and John
Winters.
Every Republican voter ol this
C3untv who desires that Iennfvi rauia
shall stand with other Northern
Slates, and fpeak as they do, should
go to the polls on Tuesday next and
take with him Lis Republican neigh
bor. Since the elections in Maine, Ohio
and Iowa, the Democratic editors of
this State arc giving notice, as re
quired by law, that the partnership
existing between them and the Green
backers is (limited).
Pbehpent IIaes filed five vetoes
against the infamous policy of tie
"Solid South," California added the
sixth, Maine the seventh, Ohio the
eighth, Iowa the ninth. Go on with
the roll. Call New York and Pecn
pylvania. Democratic editors have very
lately come to the conclusion that
they do not need Ohio next year in
the Presidential battle. Was'nt it
the fox who remarked that the grapes
were sour when he found he could'ct
get them ?
We earnestly urge every Repub
lican in the county to go to the polls
and vote tor the full State and
County ticket. The candidates are
Crst class men, and although the
offices are not very important, it
would be a shame to the party not to
succeed in filling them with the Re
publican nominees.
Are the members of the County
Committee doing anything to get out
the vote? Remember, gentlemen,
you were not selected on account of
your beauty, but for the amount of
work it was supposed you would do
in your respective townships and
boroughs to get out the Republican
vote.
Ex-Governor Curtis in a speech
at a Democratic meeting in Belle
fonte remarked "that the time was
when the people hardly knew there
was a Federal Court in the land."
They were Democrats, Andy. We
always knew they were blasted
dumb. That breed of cattle down
South don't know it yet. Just take
an illicit distiller before a butternut
Squire and see how quick he'll ignore
federal law and federal courts both.
What! allow a brother Democrat to
be punished for just making a little
whisky? Nary time.
There being but one State officer
to elect on Tuesday next, and but
two county officers, there is naturally
bnt little interest manifested by the
Republican voters, because, in their
judgment, the election of our candi
dates is a forgone conclusion. While
this may be troe, it is not the proper
spirit in which the result should be
viewed. A meagre majority will
ilcct our candidates, bnt it will not
inspire the party in the .State or else
where with the spirit of certain vic
tory in the great battle of next year.
Pennsylvania and Somerset county
are both assured by Republicans, and
should give such majorities as will
inspire exultation and confidence
throughout the country in the solidity
of the party.
The farmers of this county should
take especial pride in earnestly sop
porting for Slate Treasurer, Samuel
Butler. He has been all his life, and
is now, a farmer, esteemed and re
spected wherever known, for his in
telligence and integrity, and for oth
er good qualities esseutial to fit him
tor a public position. It is a common
complaint with farmers that, while as
class, they are the most numerous
in the State, yet, becaoes of their in
disposition to mingle actively in poli
tics, they are generally neglected in
the selection of important State offi
cials. Here now is an opportunity to
prove that they desire and appreciate
the selection of one of their number
for the most important office in the
Commonwealth, and we hope to see
the farmers of this county make it
point to go to the election and vote
for him. His opponent is a banker
whose occupation is not in syepathy
with the toilsome life of a farmer,
tnd who has nothing in common with
their interests. We trust that the
intelligent farmers of this county will
see to it that their brother farmer re
ceives the full Republican vote on
Tuesday next

Tut Democratic papers are howl

complimentary to their personal cr

At a Republican meeting hlJ in
Philadelphia the other night, a speech
was made by Rufus E. Sbapley, ci;y
attorney, and a foruitr Democrat, in
which he is reported to have express
ed himself as follows :
"Mr. Sbapley reverted to national
affairs, and said that a great deal ct
talk is heard about a solid South and
a solid North ; that this sectional feel
ing should not exist ; that the bloody
shirt bad been waved long enough ;
that we ought to build up what the
South bas so long sought to destroy
was true. But this sectional feeling
was not of onr creation. We for
gave tbe South for their treason and
called it a mistake. We killed the
fatted calf and made merry over their
return. e gave them the right of
suffrage, so that the most malignant
rebel to-div has as much power with
tbe ballot as General Orant. lo
show how false they were to their
professions, as soon as thev got in
possession of both branches t Con
gress tbey attempted to abolish the
test oath, to'exclude soldiers from
polling places and to abolish saper
visors of elections, and when the peo
pie arose in indignation against these
measures tbey tried to starve tbe
Government which had saved tbe
country and forgave tbem their trea
son. He would say nothing of the
Southern war claims, which had piled
op until tbey now reached over $2,
000,000,000. A solid South firing
upon tbe glorious (lag which floated
over Fort Sumter had made a solid
North in 18C1, and now, after nearly
twenty years, when tbe scars in fur
rows of war were nearly obliterated,
when prosperity was springing np on
every hand, the revolutionary course
of a Democratic Congress has made
a solid North once more."
Wm. A. Wheeler. Yice-rreaident
of the United States, made a speech
at Ogdensburg, N'ew York, on Thurs
day evening last, from which wc take
tbe following extract :
"To-day tbe solid South dcminat
ing the Democratic party stands at
tbe doiT of tbe Ireasury. Arrest
dent alone stands in the wav. The
question whether a Democrat shall
succeed Mr. Hayes is tbe one which
addresses you to-night. The vast
Southern claims will be paid if tbe
Democracy come into power. The
questions wbich were tried bv tbe
war are now on trial at tbe ballot
No more silent are those who sleep

are tbe blacks at the Soutb. The
Democracy has made its way over
the disfranchisement of tbe negro.

box.
I did not advocate tbe nomination
of Mr. Cornell. I believed that ow
ing to tbe complications growing out
of the New York Custom Home,
some other man would command
more votes; but the majority of tbe
convention differed with me, and
bowing always to the principle wbich
underlies our form of Government, 1
cheerfully accepted in decision. Mr.
Cornell now carries the flag of the
Union upon the skirmish line for
New York's position in tbe great
fight of next year. I follow that flag
wherever I see its folds, whoever
may be urn standard bearer ; and
from the position gained by New
York oa the 4 th .day of November
next she will lead the storming col
umn in 1880, and plant the banner of
the Republican partv upon the ram
parts of tbe fortress of Democracy
and rebellion.
The South votes as it shot, and it
is not unreasonable that the North
should do likewise. Tbe soldiers
of the Union had almost forgotten
the weary march to the sea, the
camping in Southern swamps, and
the horror 8 of tbe old prison pens,
but tbe fresh blood and the exultant
shouts of Uourbon brigadiers have
fully aroused memory, and, while
tbey are at it, the question at issue
might as well be settled.

Terrariftra by Tramp.
The neighborhood of Bradford,
Pennsylvania, has recently been the
scene of numerous outrages by
tramps,wiih which that section of the
State is overrun. The impudence of
theee villains almost passes belief.
Tbey daily and nightly commit burg
laries, bigbwar robberies and as
saults. Tbey quarter themselves
among tbe outbuildings, engine hous
es auu derricks about Bradford aud
other places, and evidently nra oper
ating in organized gangs. The new
tramp law of Pennsylvania, which
was intended as a virtual prohibition
of the presence of tramps iu the State,
apparently had no terror to the horde
now infesting the part of M Kean
county mentioned, as their numbers
seem t make the authorities power
less in enforcing the law. A few
days ago two tramps entered a drug
store in Ripley Village, and produc
ing a pint bottle, ordered the clerk
to fill it with alcohol. lie refused,
and one of the tramps drew a pistol.
Before he could cock it, the clerk had
the tramp covered with his revoWr,
and tbe two rar-cals beat a hasty re
treat. In ih-i street three men were
waiting for the two. This same gang
entered a saloon, overpowered tbe
proprietor and took all tbe liquor
they wanted. In a fight with the
deputy sheriff and a number of citi
zens, two of the tramp3 were killed
and tbe deputy sheriff seriously
wounded. The villains place ob
structions on railways, burglarize
offices, houses and places of business,
and exert a perfect reign i f terror
throughout that section of tbo State.
People in Bradford and its vicinity
are becoming greatly alarjued, and
tbe wildest rumors are afloat in tbe
city. One is that the tramps, who
are visibly increasing in cumbers,
are laying plans for a wholesale plun
dering of the place, wbich is to be
accomplished by a series of fires
started simultaneously in different
parts of the city. Fences, buildiog,
oil-derricks, trees, is , in the out
skirts of the city, as well as along
the busiest streets, are covered with
cabalistic figures, which, it is claim
ed, is tramp language, and intended
as signals from one portion of the
gang to another. A gentleman from
Bradford states that uniens tbe au
thentic take measures to clear out
tbe tramps, the citizens will form vig
ilance committees, wbich will rid the
neighborhood of the gangs by sum
mary proceedings.

sion occupied tbe lower parts of I, J

was announced by a salute by the

of the number of people on Front

follows :
"If I was ever accustomed to

me to rtcp.md to tbe welcouie hicb
I have just, received. My mode'y
would not allow me to say even what
1 fcbould like t With all my heart

wivh the same hearty reception. I
can repeat t you what I have said
in other placos, that of all the hospi
tality bf-wed and all the honors
conferred, iiere is nothing tbat has
been to gr'eful to my heart as the
reception i" 't I have received at the
bands of too people here. 1 would
not say what bas been done abroad.
It bas been all tbat could be done for
me. It b been done for the people
I see before me, for the people of this
rreat country tbat ia recogoized
abroad as one of the greatest coon
tries in the world. If we oil, every
one of us, cauld see other countries
as I have seen tbem, we would all
make better citizens, or at least the
average of tbe citizens would be bet
ter. It is impossible for me to say
more, but I thank you again."
The demonstration in tbe evening
surpassed ia enthusiasm, ia tbe num
bers present and in tbe successful
carrying out of the programme, the
display during tbe day. Nothing
was contemplate:! beyond a reception
by Gejprl and Mrs. Grant of the
citizens of Sicramento and its vicini
ty, tbe former receiving in tbe As
sembly and the latter in tha Senate
Chamber. Long before the bour ol
the recep'hn arrived tbe Capitol
grounds wrre packed with people,
not less thm 20 000 being present.
TbeCap'Kl was brilliantly illuminat
ed, and tb g'oundu were lighted up
wiih Chine-H lanterns and a calcium
light. At 8 o'clock General Grant
left tbe Golden Engle Hotel. The
route to tbe Capitol was lighted with
colon d light? and firework.
On arriving at tbe main entrance
tbe way was so packed with people
that ingress was impossible, and the
party, givin? np the attempt, pa?sed
around to the tide entrance, and so
gained access to the building. There
wan a brilliant display of tire-works
as General Grant reached the Capi
tol, consisting of an immense buat
twenty feet bign, flanked by columns
supporting American eagles and
globes representing his tour around
tbe world. Spanning the grand en
trance was a large arch bearing the
word "Welcome," formed by 500 gas
burners in letters four feet long.
After tbe General had viewed the
display for a time frm one of the win
dows be to" k a post in tbe Assembly
chamber iu front of tbe speaker's
deck, attended by Governor Irwin
aud other gentlemen. Mrs. Grant, at
tbe time, supported by several ladies,
was seated in tbo Senate chamber.
Tbe great doors rf the Capitol were
thrown open, and the crowd, passing
up stairs, fifed by the General and
paying their respects, and going out,
proceeded in tbe like manner to tbe
Senate Chamber, where they paid
their resp r to Mrs. Grant. Over
9,000 people paused through tbe As
sembly chamber, while more than
half of these visiting the Capitol left
wit hoc t ever getting inside.
The programme for to-morrow in
cludes a barbecue by tho veteran
soldiers and sailors, a military re
view and a dinner to General Grant

ten or twelve, after committing mur
der and arson, openly defy arrest,

solute over tbe people that they will
not dare to tell any human being of
tbeir knowledge of the desperadoes.
Tbey have plenty of arms, money,

Wednesday night tbe oui!wn at

were fired at and driven off, one be
ing wounded. The houses were theu
burned, the figures of tbe outlaws be
ing plainly seen as tbey stood laugh
ing and shouting in the light of tbe
flames. Other houses and lives have
been threatened, and the greatest
consternation prevails in the troubled
section. A note has been sent to the
Miiledegville Mayor, saying they
would pay him a visit soon, though,
of course, no fears are felt iu tbe city.
Tbe Governor is determined to cap

Time correspondent obtained the
following particulars : Tbe steamer
left Havana October 17, for Nuevitas,
with a general cargo, including a
large lot of grain, provisions and
ammunition for the Spanish army.
Everything was ail right until about
4 o'clock on Saturday morning,
October 13, when the vessel was in
Bahama Srraits, between Paredon
and Lobos lights. An alarm of fire
was sounded, when tbe captain pas
sengers aud crew, who were in tbeir
beds at the time, were aroused to
ascertain the cause of the alarm. It
was found the vessel had taken fire
amidships, and was then in a sheet
of flame. General confusion ensued ;
some of the passengers ind crew
were runuing to the stern of the ves
sel and jumping overboard in their
tiipht clothes, with whatever sruull
objects tbey couid lav hands on to
; serve as life buoy, while others were
trying to lower boats, loe vessel
burned to the water's edge and sank
in less than four hours' tima. There
were on board 42 men as crew and
some 17 or 20 pdeseugers, iucluding
about six officers aud soldiers of the
Spanish army. Tbe Louise II pick
ed up 17 of the unfortunate, includ
ing tbe captain, tw) mites aud one
fco'.dier. Of this number, the captain
and five or six cf the crew were badly
burued aud otherwise injured. These
parties when picked up had beeu
floating for eighteen hours on pieces
of plank, and were almost naked
Five of tbe crew took to a small buat;
tbey are supposed to have been pick
ed up. Oae boat was lowered, and
some twenty pereous, passengers and
crew, took to it, but are supposed to
have been lost. They who were
picked up were ia a fearful condition
from tbeir long exposure to sun and
ater. They are all stiff and sore in
every limb, and, in their destitute
condition, present a pitiable sight.
Tbere was one woman, the steward
ess, on board the Parajo Oae of tbe
survivors relates his efforts to save
her. He had her by his side for
some hours, until be could no longer

pard. a vouag girl residing in the
cown of Skaoeatcles, committed sui
cide on Sunday night. She had been
engaged to be married to one Henry
Fullmer, who jilted her on account of
some stories which be alleges he
heard regarding her character. Her
lover visited her early on Sunday
evening, when she kissed him and
gave him his freedom. She then
took a dose of cobalt, made her will,
and lay down to die. A physician
was called and found ber vomiting
violently. She said she had taken
poison, as she was tired of life. The
physician left her about 9 o'clock,
supposing she was all right, having
vomited up tbe poison. She then
took another dose and died in an

Kingston, Jamaica, Oc-. 17. Se
vere rains in this island, from the
11th until the 14th, did severe injury
to property in Kingston, St. Andrew
and Port Royal mountains. Some 13
lives were lost in Kingston, while
horses, mules, sheep, goats, huge
trees, timbers, bridges, bouses, sacks
of coffee and plantation trees were
swept out to sea. Great distress
prevails among tbe poor. Tbe tele

and communication with many dis
tricts stopped. Business has been
almcst entirely suspended in conse

Washington, October 2t. Post
master General Key, iu conversation
to-nigbt, said he had no doubt what
ever that Cornell would be elected
Governor of New York. Indeed, he
said that tbe recent victories of the
Republicans in the several States
was a matter of no surprise to hiiu.
He regarded tbe Potter investigation
as one of the greatest political blun
ders ever made by any party, and be
remiuded tbe writer of a prediction
he made at tbe time, tbat tbe Demo
crats wonld continue to blunder until
tbey bad thrown away tbeir last
chance. Judge Key thinks it is pos
sible, if not highly probable, tbat one
or more of the Southern States may
be carried by the Republican next
year. He savs tbat a great many of
the Southern people are disgusted at
the management of affairs by tbe
Democratic leaders in the past two
years, and the apathy tbey feel may
lead to defeat. Whether they win
or lo.se in tbe next Presidental elec
tion, however, he believes tbat tbe
Democracy will thereafter begin to
split on local issues.
