WEDNESDAY, BEELZEBUB TJIIDEE COHVICTIOIT, There is some slight hope for man still. The millennial period may be something more than a figurative era of a vastly progressed world. Even Beelzebub is at last under con viction of the fearful turpitude of bis past Hfe. There is before us a paper,—certainly one of the bitterest and most efficient of the list of j journals advocating aristocracy against a pure democracy—a paper which at first opposed the, nomination of McClellan because of his hav ing been, for a brief period, engaged in killing traitors, hut which humbly acquiesced in his nomination; the editor of that paper, now that the election is over and the flog of treason is trailing in the dost, is out with an indirect confession jof the villainies resorted to by the managers pf McClellan to compass his election. In view of the stupendous frauds perpetra ted by the agents of Horatio Seymour in tak ing the army vote, the editor deprecates the purchase of votes, as, he alleges, is now the practice of all parties. We say be does this in view of the frauds perpetrated by Horatio Seymour; but of course he does not particular ize those, of, indeed, any other frauds. But it must have been in view oP those frauds that bis conscience awoke and cried aloud. Now, we shall agree with that editor, that the practice of. buying votes, by what party soever practiced, is worthy the severest repre hension ; and if a case can be specified, we go in for the arraignment of both buyer and sell er, the extreme penalty of the law to be in 'flicted, upon conviction. As the editor in question takes the matter seriously to heart, tvhy not bring the offenders to justice, and so commence the work of reform in earnest ? The evil complained of is of great and in creasing magnitude. We are not prepared to say that it is not practiced by all parties; but at the same time we knowof no specific case of bribery practiced by either party. It is ev ident enough that men jjuy and sell votes in the political market-places. But such delicate transactions do not bear the publicity that at tend the sale of beef and potatoes. The. trade is driven by. hook and crook. But there ire transactions of a nature pre cisely similar, though beyond the reach of the statutes. We allude to the disgraceful and dis gusting practice which prevails in the neigh borhood of public works; the control of hun dreds of votes as the patron and employer -Here, votes arp really in the clutch of capital. The consideration is employment. Refusal to vote the patron’s ticket is punished with sum" mary dismissal. In fact, this species of vote purchase ■ controlled the elections throughout the country prior to 1860. It controls local elections even now. Such voting is not intelli gent. It cannqt he entitled “free and un trameled suffrage.” It is compulsory suffrage. Tt was the precipitator of this war. .It is a species of corruption which has brought the .ballot-box into disrepute. Who are to blame ? We answer, unhesitatingly, the so-called Democratic party. That patty has held con-' trol of the bulk of the naturalized vote from the beginning. Its chiefs could tell off their majorities on their fingers, with nearly as mnch certainty as the good business man can reckon ordinary profit and loss. They had but to see the patron; the patron summoned his bosses; and the bosses submitted the aggregate vote in their control. This aggregate Vote included illegal, as well ns legal votes —the former being held in reserve for emergencies. Here began the trouble of which our contemporary com plains. Every objection urged against univer sal suffrage takes root there. We now direct his attention to the outrag eous election fronds perpetrated and defended by his party in Kansas. They are not in the nature of partisan accusations, but constitute a disgraceful chapter in the political history of the republic. The copying <jf thousands of of names from city Directories,'and presenta tion of the same as genuine poll-lists, was the work of the party with which he trains. It was the act of the party, because defended by the Administration of Buchanan, and by the press of the party, everywhere, with the excep tion of a- few papers like the Philadelphia Press. It may be remarked that the editors of these protesting papers were immediately -read out of the party for their contumacy. It is npt difficult to locate the blame for the disgraceful transactions in Kansas. Nobody charges the Kansas election frauds upon the Republican party. Official investigation fixes the crime upon the Democratic party. ' So, also, the dry-goods box frauds of the recent campaign, through which it was hoped to defeat the popular will and elect Uoratio Seymour, are fixed by official invertigation up on the party with which oar contemporary trains. \ Now, the crime that may lie, in “ baying” votes, cannot equal the crime of forged poll lists, and the forgery of proxy votes from sold iers long since dead; nor can it rank wrrtrthe unauthorized substitution of McClellan and Seymour ballots for Lincoln and Fenton bal lots. It is now known that thousands of prosy votes of soldiers were forged by Seymour’s agents, and were not presented, because the genuine’ proxies had. been forwarded to friends subsequently to the discovery of the attempted frauds. Our contemporary lives in -the midst of the perpetrators of these high crimes against the elective franchise. Yet"he contents himself with deprecating the purchase of votes!—a crime, indeed, but of much less frequent oc THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. currenco than any other in thte catalogue, prob ably. It is too much Eke Mrs. Jelly by and Borohoola Gfaa. i Universal suffrage, without reference to the fitness of the voter for the exercise of the priv ilege, will always breed distemper. Intelligent freemen do not-sell their votes. Snob traffic is for the ignorant and reckless. NOT. 30. 1804. Among other things revealed by the late can -vass, is the trne character of men. Every man has put himself on record, and by that record he will bo tried, exonerated, or condemned. It was not certainly known to what depths of meanness and villainy some men of fair exte riors could descend, before. Not content with aiding and abetting the rebels in arms, they have endeavored to organize and provoke rev olution in the North. If evil counsel qonld have precipitated a bloody revolution in the North, it must have been done through the machinations of these sleek devils in human shape. They are now known, and valued at their true worth. They can .never deceive the people again. It cannot be too-nften or too forcibly impress ed upon the minds of all, that the man who is not in full sympathy with the Government at this time cannot be trusted. The man who connives at the overthrow of civil liberty will not hesitate to plot the damage of individuals, if by so doing he can gain his selfish ends. He cannot be trusted. Avoid him as yon you would avoid the midnight assassin. He is party to the highest crime under the Constitu tion. How can he be false to his country and remain true to his neighbor? It is a moral impossibility. False in one particular, false in everything. That is the rule- The desperation of the northern allies of Jefferson Davis cropped out in an attempt to born the great hotels in New York, on Satur day. Fire was discovered in the upper rooms of several of the hotels at about the same hour. The rooms were found locked and the keys gone. The manner of setting the fires was the same in every instance : A bottle of phosphor ns was placed between the beds, and clothes saturated with explosive fluids piled up to spread the flames.- Happily, the fires were dis covered and extinguished before great damage was done. ' This work was done by Gov. Seymour’s There isibutono cure for such flendisbness, and that is the seizure of Fernan do and Ben Wood, Isaiah Rynders, and some other of the head devils, and holding them as security for the future. On the reappearance of incendiary fires hang- the hostages. The authors of crime and disorder should be pun ished as well as their agents. - A few such ex amples would put down rampant treason in the North.- Hold the leaders responsible. The editor of the Hawley (Wayne County) Free Press, has come to grief. He has.illuatra ted the vileness of his party and tested the tol eration of the Government by his treasonable issues, for many months, unmolested. But be was drafted a while ago, and failed to report. The Provost-Marshal nabbed him, and hence his lamentation. The wrath of some ends in smoke. His wrath ends in a prolonged tiger. The. editor makes a great deal of noise. He snuffs all manner of injustice and oppression from afar. If the provost-marshal treats him as an equal, he says it will be all right. But if the " rqfuse of the bar-room and the bac chanalia” be set upon his trail, be solemnly promises td turn his eyes toward Heaven, and, to attest the sincerity of his purpose, he “ will fire the first gun of Northern Revolution.” No need of burning powder, to attest the sin cerity of your disloyalty, Doney. Nobody has any doubt of that. These is a class of humans in some parts of thid county, who make it their business to vil lify the soldiers, and indirectly discourage en listments by exaggerating the hardships of the service. They also represent that when a man pots on the bine, he puts off the esteem and re spect of community. These men do not ply their scurvy trade unmarked. The way to make treason?unpopular is to punish the traitor, wherever he is fonnd. He must drink of the cup drained to the dregs by Benedict Arnold. Treason is no less a crime now than it was eighty years ago. The New York papers of Monday have news that Sherman's advance is filling the South with consternation. Washington, Friday, Nov. 25,1864. The Republican publishes a dispatch from Fortress Monroe, this morning, which says: “ The D. S. transport steamers Atlanta and Blackstone hi.ve arrived from Savannah, bring ing Savannah'and Hilton Head dates to the 21st inst. These steamers bring 1,200 of our sol diers, who have been prisoners of war at An dersonville and elsewhere. It is learned by these arrivals that Beauregard had issued a proclamation, dated Corinth, Miss., Nov. 18th, calling upon the people of Georgia to lay waste and destroy everything around Sherman, in his front, rear, and upon his flank, and announ cing that he should soon be with them. When the steamers left Savannah, a report had just reached there that Macon and Milledgeville had been captured and burned by Sherman's, troops. Washington, Friday, Nov. '2s,1864. The Government received the following dis patches to-day: , City Point, Va., Thursday, Nov. 24,1864. There is nothing new or important this mor ning, except the arrival tf Rebel deserters, who report the occupation of Macon by QenT. Sherman. .'Fortbess Monboe, Thursday, Nov. 24,1864. The steamer Atlanta and Blackstone arrived here this morning with about 225 prisoners.— Tan were lust on the voyage. They left the Savannah River at noon on the S|2d inst. The WAR NEWS. BttUio was loading when she left. The ex change of prisoners was going on well. Capt. Gray says that just before he left there it was reported that Macon and Milledgeville were burned. The Legislature was in session at Milledge ville, but dissolved in haste and the members had scattered in every direction. LATEST EBOM THE ABUT. Savannah, Nov. 21.—A private dispatch re ceived in this city this morning from Macon says the enemy cgjssed the Oemulgee in force Yesterday at Planters’Factory, eight miles east of Indian Spring. They are reported to be from 30,000 to 40,000 strong. This would seem to strengthen the belief that Augus’a is their object. The Central Railroad near Gres waldville was cat at 3p.m. on the 20th. The telegraph is also destroyed. Communication between Savannah and Macon destroyed.— Wires between Gordon and Milledgeville cut also. Fboh Sheridan’s Army. Nov. 21—Early has gone out of the Valley. Meritt and Devin’s divisions of cavalry, which lately started on a feoonnoisance up the Valley, have sent back a courier to headquarters with information that. Gen. Early and bis whole infantry force has passed on toward Staunton. The belief is that the rebel campaign in the Valley for the present winter is over, so far as any movement in force is concerned, and that only a portion of the Rebel cavalry, with guer rilla parties to co-operate with it, are now left to annoy us in the Valley. It is supposed the enemy is going to Rich mond, possibly to prepare for the evacuation, of Petersburg and the Rebel capital, before Sherman outs them off at Savannah and all along shore. Fearful Earthquake in. Mexico. A letter dated Orizaba, (Mexico,) by the last steamer, gives the following particulars of a fearful earthquake: “ To-day, (October 3,) at five minutes to two o’clock in the morning, an exceedingly strong eathqoake was felt, which lasted very little more or less than two minutes. : At first the movement commenced with very violent trem blings, followed by oseliiatory vibrations, which shook everything, but particularly the roofs of the houses, with wonderful force. These oscill ations were sometimes frem north to south, and as as often from east to west. While the earth, quake lasted a deep and subterranean noise was beard, which appeared to take an easterly course, proceeding probably from the voleano of Cilalpet (otherwise called the peak of Ori zaba) distant in an air line about sis leagues to the Northwest of the town, and some ran cheros who live at the foot of the volcano say that they heard a noise like the report of a cannon issue crater about an hour be fore the trembling commenced. The terrible effects of the eathquake in this city are of con siderable magnitude, since nearly all the hou ses —although for the most part are of only one story—are cracked in all directions, and many completely bulged out. The higher houses' have suffered much more in proportion Us may be supposed, and several churches are threatening ruin. The upper part of. the tower of the pariah church, recently constructed, came down, and, judging from the condition of the rubbish, it is noticed that the tower fell during the trembling motion, while the other parts- fell during the oscilla tions, having been- thrown in every direction to the distance of 30 yards from the .Vertical, but falling more particularly in directions from north to south and from east to west. The report from Aeuitzingo says that for eight minutes preceding the earthquake the atmosphere was filled with continuous detona tions ; then four alight oscillations from sooth to north were perceived, followed by a calm of three or four minutes’ duration, at the end of which time strong and rapid tremblings, at the rate of two or three a second, lasting some two minutes and a half, terminating in a violent oscillation from east to west. The electric cur rent in the telegraph line from Mexico city to Vera Cruz was not perceptible till ten minutes after the earthquake, and required four min utes more before the operators could communi cate. Yet the casualties were remarkably few in that place, one person only—a child—be ing killed, and two men, and three women wounded. The shock was felt at Vera Cruz and Mexico City very distinctly for about forty five seconds, but no damage whatever was done. The time of its appearance in the latter city was ten minutes before two. These minute de tails 1 describe for the benefit of the learned. The Alexandria (Virginia) State Journal gives the following good story, as having been related to one of its editors: Just before the Presidential election, when many of the soldiers about Washington were furloughed in order that they might return to their homes and exercise the right of, voting, a private, wearing a McClellan badge on bis breast, appeared at the transportation office with his furlough and requisite transportation to the North. For some reason or other, prob ably because the zeal of the officials outran their sense of justice, the soldier was for a day or two unable to obtain the requisite transporta tion. Ha saw others passed rapidly by the board, but was not able to obtain a hearing * himself. At length, disgusted with the long delay, resulting evidently from the unfairness of the official, he determined to appeal directly to the President himself. Upon being admitted to the President, he told him in brief terms -the story of his delay at tho transportation of fice, and the object of his visit to the White House, prefacing the whole by a candid decla ration that he was a McClellan man, and was going home to vote for McClellan. Mr. Lin coln asked for his furlough, and glancing over it to satisfy himself that it was all right, wrote) on the back of it these words: “Let this man have transportation immediately. A. Lincoln," and banded it back to the soldier. The latter looked at the order a moment, and then ex claimed," When I came here this morning, and saw Mr. Lincoln, I was fully determined to vote for McClellan if I could get home, but I have now changed my mind and shall vote for you. You have satisfied me that you are worthy of being President, and I shall do all I can to re-elect you.” . . Cheap Farms. —The effect of Emancipation in Maryland, in tho slave districts, has been to make farms very cheap, the owners preferring to go to Baltimore rather than till the soil with out slaves. There is, therefore, an excellent opportunity for those who want to purchase cheap and good farms. We give the resigning slave holders the benefit of this’ little advertise ment without charge, ‘ • < Tho Socket Order Satins nn the Seme* era lie Party. The Philadelphia Gazette says that the se cret oath-bound military Order.of the Ameri can Knights, alias Sons of Liberty, has do completely gained the ascendency in all the counsels and movements of the Democratic party that there is no longer any freedom of ac tion in that party, either for the njembers or for those who are not. Wnatever action is necessary to be attempted by tho patty is dicta ted and shaped by the high conclaves which govern the secret Order. The same hidden and mysterious body fabricates the platforms which are foisted upon Democratic conventions. In point of fact the whole Democratic party may now be regarded as a sham, concealing the secret organization which is the real party.' The local Democratic meetings which are faeldj everywhere ore only for the purpose of delu ding the multitudes who are not in the secret. Nothing but mere formal proceedings ever take place at such gatherings. They are not per mitted to frame or pass resolutions of any oth er tenor than those previously concocted by the secret order. Yet there are many thousands of honest, high-minded, intelligent Democrats who still labor under the delusion that the Democratic party is the same as ever. They cannot be made to understand or believe that they are the mere instruments used by the secret Order to accomplish its own purposes. When they vote for delegates to a nominating convention they fancy that they are exorcising a freeman’s privilege, while the men they vote for are pre viously dictated by the secret Order, and those who shape everything are the secret manipu lators who manage the wires. If any such citizen were to profess loyal sentiments and to become a candidate for any position, the secret Order would quietly dispose of his chances at once., Of course so long as the Democratic party serves so well the purposes of this secret Order it will be nsed, but in the end it is sure to destroy the party at the North as it. did at the South. Hence those who seek to preserve the Democratic party should war against thjs insiduous enemy which is destroying its vitals. If they hog to their hearts now the delusive show of strength produced by this secret ma chinery, the party will inevitably be lost. The Pulpit in Delaware.— The war of opin ion has been fonght mostly in the churches, in Wilmington. A few years ago the town would not sustain an anti-slavery pulpit. The most popular preacher there at present is the Rev. Col. Clark, who rotates by invitation between the several churches and different sects. When the rebellion began he was settled in Pittsbmjg. He called on the young men to raise a compa ny, to which they assented if he wonld be their captain. The company grew into a regiment, and be has led them as their colonel through three years of war. He fonght at Antietaro, Gettysburg, and many other fields. It is a striking scene to contemplate when he rises in the pulpit, with his shoulder-straps on, and begins the service —the old Covenanter over again. There is but one house of refuge in this vicinity where I could confidently com mend tho Copperheads for consolation, and that is to Whiteclay Creek, six miles distant, where a brother of the prophet Yallandigfaam is pastor. He is a Copperhead of the worst stamp, and has driven all loyalists out of bis church. An Abstracted Gent. —“ Old Bumblebee” was the cognomen of Mr. T ,of New buryport. He gained the title from having caught a bumblebee one day, as he shingled bis barn, and attempting to destroy the insect with his hatchet, cut off the ends of his thumb and forefinger, letting the insect go unharmed. Other mishaps happened to the old codger on the same barn. In one of bis abstractions, he shingled over bis spare hatchet; and'catting a small aperture in the building to let a little daylight in, this man actually set in a wooden pane, as being economical and not likely to be broken 1 Uncle T——, in one of his oblivions freaks, nailed his left arm so firmly betwixt two boards of a fence be was patting up that he bad to call for help to get extricated from his im prisonment. He once pat a button on the gate instead of the post. But the rarest freak of all was when he ran through the streets with his bands abont three feet asunder, held before him, begging the passers-by not to disturb him, as he had got the measure of a doorway with him. Would Lose Fifty Thousand Dollars. —lf a military officer puts in an application for a furlough on the simple ground of urgent private business, be is about as likely to get it as of being struck by lightning. A Maine officer applied for one, however, stating that if it was not granted be should lose $50,000. This attracted attention at head quarters, and the officer was desired to forward a statement of how ho would lose it. He did so to the effect that held been in the army without leave of absence for two years; that he was engaged to a young lady worth $50,000, that there was another fellow after her, and that she bad writ ten to him that if he did not come home and marry her right away she would have the other man. He got his furlough, —Portland Argus. A Boston “Notion.” —The “hub” has a great many " notions,” and soma very good ones, too. The last is to provide a home for women who have none, on their discharge from confinement as criminals. The want of snob an institution has long been felt by all persons connected with reformatory institutions. There are very few private houses or workshops open to such people, however sincere may be their repentance, or however strong their determin ation to lead a virtuous life. A similar insti tution is in successful operation in New York, as there ought to be in every large city. One of the most promising symptoms of re turning reason on the part of the rebels is a resolution introduced into the rebel Congress by Mr. Foote, of Tennessee, declaring that all farther attempts to’ secure recognition abroad should be desiated from, and diplomatic agents in foreign countries should be at once with drawn. Instead of being either coughed or voted down, the resolution was respectfully re ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Hopeful.
