Cy ADVERTISING AGENTS, EX* i

please note the CHANGE of TITLE, ofthisU

THE RESULT.
We have delayed this issue of our paper'
for a day that we mitjht he able to furnish
our friends not only the result in the coun
ty but in the state also.
IN THE COCNTT.
With the returns of about three fourths
of the Districts in, we are enabled to an- i
nouncea majority for Shaiswood of from
j 75 to 100 —and the election of the whole
j Democratic County ticket, Wyoming is
! always right!
LCZERNE COUNTY".
We have it from trustworthy sources, ;
that the whole Democratic has been !
elected in Luzerne County. lion. Geo.W.
Woodward though opposed bv a *50,000
corruption fund from the Loyal League, is
confidently believed to be elected. Good
for Luzerne!
PHILADELPHIA,
Sharswood has carried the city of Phila
delphia by 2881. This is a gain of up
wards of 7000 in that city alone, over the,
vote of last year. The entire city ticket is ■
elected by majorities ol from 2 to 5000.
That nest of corrupt and secretly work
ing traitors, called the Loyal League, has
been stoned down and the nest egg crush

white men'.
THE STATE.
The latest accounts from all sources con
firm the glad tidings that the State has been
; carried by the Democrats, by a small ma- j
| jority. Geary's majority of 1700 has been
completely wiped out. Radicalism is
played out. Let white men everywhere,
take courage. The country will yet be re

The Negro's Idea on "Suffrage.
An old army friend, now a Register in .
South Carolina, by appointment of Gen.
Sickles, in a private letter to the editor of
the Doylestown Democrat , under the date
of September 11th, relates some amusing
incidents connected with his office. The
following is too goad to be lost, and we
select it as a specimen brick ;
I really wish yon could have been here
and gone the rounds with me on my route
to have seen the fun. Our new formed
citizens had no more idea of what the
elective franchise is, than the man in the
moon. Many of them brought bags and
baskets to put it in, thinking it was some
thing to eat, others thought it might possi
bly something to wear, while the" most in
telligent, wno know more than any one
else, knew positively that it was the dis
tribution of the long wished for confiscated
lands under a new name-, as a natural con
sequence, nearly all were severely disap- j
pointed on making their appearance be
fore the board to find that they were mere
ly to be sworn and to have their names ,
put in a book, particularly those who
thought that there might not be enough '
franchise to go around, and had started
from home long before daylight in order to !
gel the first given out. Among a few of
the distinguished individuals who were '
registered (on the colored side of the book) j
were Jefferson Davis, Commodore Perry,
Geneial Puiaski, General Grant, General
Sherman, Prince Napoleon, King of Bos
ton Horace Greeley. John Brown, John
Smith, and many more equally noted per- j
sonages. Tbey were all sworn that they
had never been members of Congress or of 1
any Slate Legislature, ot an officer of the
United States and afterwards engaged in
rebellion, Sc. Arc. One individual in par- J
ticular on being questioned as to what was
dote when he Registered, said that u de
gemblin wid de big whisker make me swar '
to sport de law of United Souf Carolina." !
This is about as much as they all knew
when they were finished as "citiiens of the
United States ." Three cheers for tbia
great country.' Whoop!
Republican Legislation.
The Bedford Gazette thus illustrates
the working of the Radical law, forcing
negroes into the cars with white men and
woman :
"A friend of onrs relates that as he was
travelling from Philadelphia to Hunting
•jon, a few nights ago he took a berth in a
sleeping car, and when about retiring his
attention was attracted by loud talking and
scuffing on the platform ot the car. Pro
i ceeding to the scene ot the disturbance,
I he perceived a huge male negro in a con
; troversv with one of the railroad officials
; about obtaining a berth in the sleeping
! car. The ticket agent had refused to sell
\ the darkey a ticket, and the colored gen
j tleman was trying to force his way into
the car without the requisite piece of
stamped pasteboard. A policeman came
up, however, and settled the business, by ,
telling the ticket agent that, under the law,
if he refused to sell the aegro a berth
ticket, on account of color, he would be
amenable to a fine of SSOO, aud subject to
pay a like sum to the negro upon an ac- |
tion for debt! This had the desired effect,
and the African was banded the coveted j
ticket. It so happened, however, that but
one berth was vacant, and that was half a (
double berth partly occupied by a white
man. The negro divested himself of hat,
j coat, boots and vest, and proceeded to ap
propriate his half of the double berth.—
' White man, who had been dozing, turned j
: around, looked again, and then came such j
| a kicking, tumbling, sprawling, such a mix
ture of white and black generally as would
| have done any amalgamationist's heart ,
! good. About this time the conductor ap
! peared upon the scene, and the result was ;
that the negro, with the tciket in hand,
j tumbled into bed, whilst the white man,
1 growling anathemas at the party he himself
{ had helped to place into power, doggedly ;
put on his clothes and went forward to sit j
with wrenched back and cramped legs, in
' the passenger car, ruminating over the j
' beauties of Radical legislation."
When this negro bill was under consid
eration, Mr. Boyle, Democrat, of Fayette
i county, offered the following amendment j
as a new section :
SECTION 3. Provided, That nothing
herein contained shall he held to compel 1
the admission of negroes into cars set
apart for ladies, or into berths for sleeping
cars.
apart for ladies, or into sleeping cars.
Thirty-six Democrats voted for this sec
tion, and fifty-one Radicals against it.—
, Thus the section WHS defeated, and negroes !
cau now force themselves into cars set
apart for ladies, or into sleeping car*. —
Will white men support a party which
i thus insults their wives ami children ?
Peace Congress.
Three international peace congresses
have lately been sitting in Switzerland.—
The London Daily News of September j
]7, gives the following as the proposition
gresented by a lady—Madam Stavr. They
will be particularly interesting to war ;
preachers and the "God and morality"
party generally :
1. To decide a difference by fisticuff s
lor the stick is by common consent as uu
worthy and ignoble proceeding.
2. That which is unworthy and ignolle |
for one man must be unworthy and igno
ble for a hundred, a thousand, ten thou
sand, or a hundred thousand.
3 If it be admitted that it is unworthy
and ignoble to decide one's cwn quarrels
' by pugilism, it must be worse to fight un- i
der the orders of a third party, and for his j
benefit, and to kill men who never did j
you any harm.
4. Two men who fight in the street are j
blamed by all reasonable and civilized
! people, and it never occurs to anybody to
gratify the conqueror.
j 5. Why should we glorify the conquer
or in a combat fought by hundreds of th ou
sands of men for an object which, if at
tained, is scarcely ever of any advantage
to them ?
| 0. When f,vo men eoinQ to blows in the
i street, it E eV er comes into their head to
invoke the aid of the Deity, or to suppose
that God tikes a special interest in he
issue of iheir fight. The same mav be
1 said of a fight of ten men on a side.
'• 7lf two men who tight dared to talk of
. j the God of pugilists, and called on Him to
, help them in their unreasonable and dis
i graceful scuffle, they would justly be set
down as fools and blasphemers.
I 8. Ar.d in like manner ten or twenty
men who should fight in the streets and
appear to the God of pugilism, would be
called fools and blasphemers.
J 9. What then is the exact number of
I combatants requisite to justify the invoca-
I lion to take a side in the fight of that
God whom you eall the God of love ?
10. Do you really believe that the num
ber and quantity can make anv impression
upon God—upon a being whose essence
is infinite ? Do you not therefore think
, that to talk of a God of battles ii just as
blasphemous as to talk of a God of pugil
ists ?"

The Democratic State Convention
met at Worcester on Tuesday and nomi
nated a ticket headed by the name of John
j Quincy Adams for Governor. The son
lof Charles Francis Adams, our present
representative at the Court of St, James.
,l the grandson of John Quincy Adams, and
the great-grand-son of old John Adams,
of Revolutionary memory. In
John Quincy Adams, the Conservatives of
the old Bay State have a candidate of
whom they may well be proud. It will be
■ curious to note w hen the votes are counted,
how many of the ninety-two thousand men
i who voted for the Republican caudidate
I for Governor last year, or of the one hun
' drcd twenty-seven thousand who voted
| for Mr. Lincoln in 1864, will break loose
from their party bonds and at the coining
' election record their preference for Mr.
Adams over his Radical competitor. Aud
i if it be found that they refuse to honor the
i representatives of one of the most honored
names in their State history, can they
blame those who may find in their con
duct a fresh proof of tbo degeneracy
which maiks the p. ofle of Massachusetts
of the present day.—
An Editor's Dream.
Saturday last, while reading our ex
changes, a sudden and unaccountable de— t
sire to "nap it" took possession of our in- t
dividual brain. We read and nodded,and I
nodded, and nodded, and slipped away in
to dreamland, without intending it; for be j
*t remembered our "devil" stood waiting !
for copy. Seeing we were inclined to
take things easy, he concluded to do like- !
wise. We slepJ undisturbed. We dream
ed, and thus the dream :
We beheld a lovely feminine sailing to
wards us through the air. We wondered,
but were silent and moved not. We no
ticed she was making for the spot where;
!we stood, and we were pleased. She ap- !
I proached nigh unto us, and exclaimed, ,
I "Mortal!" "That's us," we replied.— j
j She continued : "You are in a strange
; land " By this time she had folded her
' elevators, and was standing at a respect
ful distance. We surveyed our angelic
companion, aud were pleased. Our eyes
gave her credit for being a magnificent
looking woman, stately as a Queen, digni :
fied, lovely We noticed she had been
weeping, but a smile of joy aud gladness
1 now sat enthroned on her countenance. — ;
I She wore no waterfall. A curiously \
I wrought cap of blue aud gold rested on ;
I her glossy ringlets, upon the broad band
I of which we noticed in letters of silver, i
| the word "Liberty." We bowed low and
! involuntarily exclaimed, "the Goddess of j
; Liberty." "True," she replied. "Where
have you beou these many days ?" we
' asked politely. "In this land of peace, .
yet not of Liberty, into which you have
wandered. I have been waiting, weeping,
sorrowing for the misdeeds of ray sons,—
I have watched with tear dimmed eyes,
J their puny efforts to destroy me. They
; have failed, aud I am now about to return
to my native land—the home of the brave
I and tree —and you shall accompany me."
I She grasped mv hand and we started, —
Right merrily we scud through space, ami
pleasant was the journey. "There!"' said
; she, pointing to a towering pile of marble,
j glittering in the morning son. "There
|is my home —my once happy home, from
i which designing bad men would drive me,
| and cast gloom and desolation o'er our
country. l>ul it shall not be ! God pro
tects the right! My conntry, I come to
! save !" With this we alighted at the foot
of the pile, and were greeted by an elder
ly gentleman in blacK, with the sword of
i justice in one baud, the constitution under I
! his arm, and "A.J." pinned to his coat.
' He extended his hand to the Goddess and
' said : "Welcome, Liberty ! Treason is 1
no more! lUeicome, home! I Lave
caged the ranting beasts. Come, view
the collection." We followed into the
! Senate chamber, where rows of cages, ti
ter the sty le of a menagerie, were ranged ;
l in order, First we came to the black ti
' ger, Stevens, who "A. J." informed us,
was at one time a very vicious animal, but

1 ner, grandiloquent and fiery at times, but
I a flash from the sword of justice and the i
j sight of a small black cane carried by ins
I keeper, drove t ie fire out from his eye.
Next, an African Lion, Stanton, treaeh

chain of iniquity of huge proportions, from j
which he will never he freed. No danger

Next came the hyenas, Ashley and

very docile.
Next, a pair of Leopards—Sherman
and Shellbarger, unworthy of note, but
inclined to le fussy, and had to be caged.
Next, the Hippopotamus, Boutwell.—
Would be very ferocious if he could.—
Lives princ pally on wind and Congsession

ca, generally known as the "coming man,"
or Pompous Odoriferous Swellsky high, re
cently freed from bondage by citizens of
Ema'ncichusetts, but now caged on ac
count getting too large for his breeches.—
Next, the comic trick mules, Seward
and Chase, the former known by a small
bell suspended from bis neck. Quiet an
imals but very tricky.
Next, the performing elephant, Grant,
the largest of his kind in the United States.
Is of great value to his keeper in straight
ening the other animals. Docile and tract

trusty animal, aud has the freedom of the

A collection of Apes, Baboons, and
Monkeys, noisy and mischievous, but be
ing sir all animals, easily kept in their

"This complete the collection," said our
conductor. You will perceive that all is
now quiet, and peace has been proclaimed
throughout the land. Swinging his sword
of justice around the circle, the animals
cowered low, and set np such unearthly
howls and shrieks that wc awoke, and
found—'twas but a dream.— Old Com.

The Bodies of the Assassination Con
spirators.
On Tuesday, in accordance with orders
received at the Washington Arsenal by
General Ramsey, commandment of the
post, from General Grant, Secretary of
War, the bodies of the assassination con
spirators, and also the body of lfenry
Wirtz, the Andersonvillc jailor, were re
moved from their graves and reinterrcd
in another portion of the grounds. This
removal was rendered necessary in conse
quence of the projected improvement of
the arsenal grounds, the contractor for the
removal of the old penitentiary building
beiDg about to communes work. The
body of J, Wilkes Booth was butted tu
what wa- known a* thejware room of the
penitentiary building, It was enclosed in
an ammunition box. Alter the grave was
filled np with dirt, the brick flooring was
replaced. The bin ial having been ae
complished, the windows were boarded
up, and the door ma le secure, Secrettrv
Stanton taking the key with biin, and it
was kept at the War Department until a
few weeks ago, when it was returned to j
the arsenal officers. On the receipt of
the order for the removal of the bodies, j
including Booth's on Thursday, laborers
weie at once set to work. The bodies |
were taken from the graves before men- j
tioned and oatrred to No. 1 warehouse,
where a trench was dug a few feet from!
the north wall. In this trench the bodies I
were placed, and as secrecy bad been en
joined, but few persous were aware that
the removals had been mado. It would I
seem from this t hat the government does j
not intend to give up the Indies to the '
relatives. The bodies of Booth, Payne, |
Harold, Atzerdodt, Wirz, and Mrs. Sur- •
ratt were placed in a common grave.
The Crops Reports of the Departments of
Agriculture.
The Department of Agriculture has just
j issued its report tor August and September
which contains the following statement of
: the condition of the crops. The crot> ta
bles for August give the general averages
for the States, made up from approximate
: estimate of our correspondents of the
quantity of the crop then harvested as com
i pared with those of 1856, together with
the current conditions of growing crops
at the date of return, while (he tables for
' September perish cbielly to the state of
the fall crop*, in the relation to which
I more definite information will be given in
succeeding reports.
WHEAT.— From August returns there
is a uniform reduction in the general av
erage of wheat as compared with the July
figures ; and the September estimates of
wheat harvested, as compared with the
crops of 18C6, drop the figures somewhat
lower in a number of the States, which i.->
attributable, to a considerable extent, to
the bad weather while harvesting, as well
as to the fact that iu some sections the
grain was found to be shrivelled and
threshed out less to the acre than anticipa
ted. The leading wheat-growing States
report the following per centage of in
crease at the close of the harvest; Ohio
130 percent.; Indiana, 50; Michigan. 3d;
Wisconsin, 17; Minnesota, 27 ; Illinois,
11; lowa, 20- Missouri, 40; Kentucky,
34 ; West Virginia 50; Virginia 50 ;
Tennessee, 40; Georgia 80; Arkansas,
4.5 ; New \ "rk, 14, and Pennsylvania, 40, 1
while only Kan-as-and Texas show a fail
ing off tiorn last year, when these crops
!in those States were very large. The re
turns due October 1 will enable us to es
tirnate with a greater degree of accuracy
the amount of this great erop for the cur- j
rent year.
CORN.— The prospect for a corn crop
coiitii ue to improve* and if the frost hold;-
j off the general crop may be a fair one
W, bile a number of States return low esti
mates, others, particularly the Southern
States, show a marked improvement over i
the yield ot last year. Deoigia promises
t;> double her crop of 1806; Alabama Ye
ports an increase of 75 per cent. ; ?Yissis
sipi, 80 ; Tennsssce, 21; Louisis lia 4(j.
South Carolina, 54; and Aik i l)sas j,,,/
! Ohio falls 30 per cent, behin-j j ast vtar
estimating from the conJ . llon on t he* first
o! Septcmb r; Indian 17 . lUj no j af 14 .
Kentucky, ?o; H <'. at Virginia, 15 and
Virginia. 10.
U'ecot'.jn cr p promised well up to
til'.- firs; instant, when the worms were
ma'r .ng their appearance, and much ap
prehension was tben felt in various sec
| tions for the safety of the crop.
Under the head of "Extracts from Cor
rcsponden • ," we give notes fiotn the sev
eral cotton growing States; Georgia prom
ifed to yield 53 per cent, beyond her srop
jof 1866; South Carolina, 50; Alabama,
j42 ; Mississippi, 24 ; Arkansas, 18, and
Tennessee.-8 ; while Kotrtsiarm and Texas
show considerable failing off from last
year.
I liYE, barley, and oats exhibit no materi
al change from previous reports, though
oats were seriously injured in some sec
tions by the extreme wet weather during
the harvest but generally the crop appears
superior to tiiat of last year.
DucKWHfcAT shows an average acreage,
with prospects ot a fair crop.
I'OTATOES are rotting badly in many of
i the large potato-growing States, and the
crop will probably fall below the yield of
last year.
SUUAU CANE AND SOHGIH M.— The lead
ing sugar producing Show a fair increase
over the crops of last year. Sorghum is
on Vhe decline in most of the States, with
j out snffieien* reason. '1 he crop now grow
ing is in good connition, Apples and
peaches. In a few of the States the apple
crop promises well, but in a majority the
crop will be from 10 to 40 per cent, below
the crop of 1860. Peaches were much in
jured by the rains in July and August,
and orchards which promised well early
in the season have proved entire failures.
With the exceptiou of a few States, the
crop is grown for home consumption or lo
cal markets, which, together with the ir
regularity of the yield in different seasons,
readers it difficult to reduce the various
estimates to the average for States, though
we include the figures.
' HAY shows an increase in almost every
State, and quite large in many of them,
Pennsylvania's returning an increase of
' 50 per cent. ; New York, 24; Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Illinois, 28 ; Indiana, 20.
; The average will reach from 25 to 30 per
cent., and above the crop of iB6O.
The wool clip for 1867 will probr.blv
: fall from fire to ten per cent, short of the
crop of last year—attributable to the se
vere weather of last winter, and the coosci
qucnt exposure and destruction of a
number of sheep.
&3T General Schuiie'd Las issued an
order requiring the whites and blacks in
Virginia to vote at separate polls. This
is not exactly the thing according to the
doctrine of equality. We presume the
Radical press will object to this distinc
tion between the rapes. The order of
General Schofield looks as though he does
not think a negro "good enough" to vote
at the same poll with a white man. This
doctrine will not do for these times of ad
vanced and advancing idea..

CONSUMPTION CIRRAISLB BY
SC HEMK'4 MEDICIN ES.
' TO Cl'B.E CONSUMPTION the system must be
prepared so that the luugs will heal. To accom
plish this, the liver and stomach must first be cleans
ed and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which, by these medicines will be di-jested properly
r.nd good healthy blood made ; thus building up the
I constitution. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
; cleanse the stomaehe of all bilious or mucous accu
mulation? ; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in
| connection, the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutriciona
as well as medicinal, and, by using the three reme-
dies, all impurities are exj>elle 1 from the system,and
■ good, wholesome blood made, which will repel al,
disease. If patients will tak" these medicines ac
cording to directions Consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their aation. Take
i the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stum
aeh. It does not follow that because the bowels are
not costive they are not required, for sometimes In
liarrhcea rfcey are necessary. The stomach must be
kept healthy, and an appetite created to allow the
Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respiratory organs
projierly and allay any iiritation. l'hen all that is
required to perform a permanent cure is, to prevent
taking cold. Exercise about the rooms as much as
possible, eat all the.richest food—fat mead, game
and, in fact, anything the appetite craves j but be
atpricular and masticate well. vsal2-2n.lw ea-op,

Messrs. IHOS. ALLCOCI: A Co- —Please send, with
iispatch, twelve doxen All coed's Porous Plasters.-
- Our daily experience confirms their very superior
excellence. At this moment of writing a man ap
, plies for one, who, by, entanglement in the shfat of
machinery, had both his legs broken, spine severely
injured, and was for nearly a year entirely helplesa.
, This man found relief very soon by the application
| of a plastet to his spine. He was soon enabled te
work, and now he labors as well as ever. I/e would
cheerfully pay S3 for a single Plaster if they could
not be had at a lower rate: lam surprised that
surgeons do not make use of the perforated plaster*
to the exclusions of all othe s, as their flexibility and
and adhesiveness are greatlj in advance of all other
plasters with which lam acquainted ; while the
perforations peculiar to them rendered them greatly
superior to all others for ordinary surgical uses.—
Knowing the plasteis,to be so useful, I have no
scruples that my sentiments should be known.
