MISTAKES is NAMES.—In the report M
successful exhibitors at the late fair in
Nicholson, given in our paper to-day, there
may be, and doubtless are, mistakes in the
names of many persons. The manuscript
furnished us, was very well written but
without the most extreme care in writing
names—which stand as mere characters,
to which the context furnishes no clue—
mistakes will occur with the best of print
ing offices. These names, many of them,
are strange to us, and we suspect will not,
in all cases, be recognized even by the
persons to whom they belong.
The Elections.
The latest news in relation to (he elec
tions fully confirm the report of the results
given in our paper last week. Sharswood's
majority in the State is between six and
seven hundred. The Democrats of Ohio
have a majority on joint ballot of the State
Legislature. The result as to Governor is
still doubtful. To raise a doubt in a State
where the radical majority last year was
upwards of 40,000, is indeed a glorious tri
umph for the Democracy. Woodward is
elected by a majority of several hundreds
over Ketcbum, in the 12th Congressional
District.
For the result in Wyoming, see official
vote given elsewhere.
Counterfeit 7-30 Bonds.
Considerable excitement has prevailed
in the Treasury Department, for several
days, on account of the discovery of the
counterfeiting of United States bonds, S7O
- bonds, of the Second Series, due June,
1868, of the SIOOO denomination, has been
presented at the treasury for redemption.
All of there were of the Aor B series,
ranging within the following named thou
sands, namely, 163,000, 140,000, 160,000
and 180,000. The result of the examina
tion, as ordered by the Solicitor of the
Treasury, is—
First, the seal is slightly larger than the
genuine, the re.] ink with which it is stamp
ed is a shade lighter, ano the points pro
jecting from the seal are blurred, and a
little longer than th genniuc.
Second. The imprint at the bottom of
the face of the bond is set different in the
margin, and there being more shade given
it than the genuine.
Third. The borders of the coupons
which are attached to the counteifdt
bonds are larger, while the red figures are
finer than the genuine.
Third. The borders of the coupons
which are attached to the counterfeit bonds
are finer than io the genuine.
The borders of the ornamented lath
work are blurred and somewhat indiffer
ently executed.
Fifth. The figures denoting the bond
are slightly uneven while the blue ink in
which they are printed is a duller blue,
and lacks the metallic, glossy appearance
of the genuine.
Sixth. There is to the expert a differ
ence in the vignette, and the female figure
ou the face of the bond; the lines are not
so well shaded, not is the black ink so well
distributed.
The counterfeit is regarded as one of
the most dangerous that has yet been ex
ecuted. It is declared to be superior to
the counterfeit SSOO greenbacks which
were engraved by Uhlric, the plates of
which Colonel Wood has now in the de
tective department at the Treasury, while
Uhlric is in prison.
The Evening Express says over $160,-
000 worth of these bonds have been sent
to the Treasury Department for redemp
tion by such hanking houses in New York
as Messrs. Jay Cooke Sc Co., Vermilyc <fe
Co. Fisk & Hatch, and others. Vermilye
Sc Co. are the heaviest losers. So far as
reported, all these bonds are destroyed,
and the bankers sending them in are not
credited with them, so that the Govern
ment loses nothing, while the bankers and
brokers suffer if they <nnot go back on
the parties from whom they purchased
the counterfeit bonds. This morning the
Hon. F. E. Spinner, Treasurer, made a
thorough inspection of the bonds, and pro
nounced them counterfeit. The letter F.
in General SpinndFs signature is very im
perfect, and was soon detected by him in
his inspection of the bonds. Henry D.
Cook, Esq., the resident partner in this
city of the finn of J. Cooke & To., announ
ces that the Philadelphia and Washington
houses of that firm have not received any
of these bonds, while those received by
their New York houses are from responsi
ble parties, and that tbeir loss will be com- I
paratively small. Information received 1
this morning by officials in the Treasury
Department, announces that the counter
feit bonds have been scattered freelv thro'
the bcokers' and brokers' offices of New
York, while it is also thought that the 1
counterfeits have found their way to the
Urge western cities. ,
NICHOLSON, Pa., Oct. 14/67
MB. EDITOR r
In, oVien times Demo
crats ifoere wont to say after an election :
"We have met the enemy and they are
oars." From the indications, those
quaint sayings are returning and belong
again to us. Pennsylvania has returned
to her former political opinions—and that
sterling democart and able jurist, Judge
Sharswood, has swept the state like a
whirlwind, and the old keystone of the
arch returns to her former place in the un-
ion.
But when we turn our eyes westward,
and with our ears receive the glad tidings
of an unprecedented victory in Ohio, it
does, indeed, make us feel good under our
own Jackets. We now can unfurl the
good old democratic banner with its bright
i stripes and glittering stars and march into
the compaign of '6B emblazoned on its
proud folds, in letters of living gold that
truly democratic motto, "Constitutional
Liberty"—with tire assured prospect of a.
glorious victory.
"As Pennsylvania goes, so goes the
L oion." What glad hearts, what bright
firesides there must be in the homes of
our southern brethren. They now know
that the negroes are not, even in benight
ed* Ohio, considered the equals of the
white man, and that these elections have
placed them beyond the control of the rad
ical leaders. Their stock in trade has
been swept out of existence. Aye, wool
has taken an awful fall. What a lesson j
to the ruling spirits of a defunct congres
sional policy.
But lam digressing. It is our own lo
cal political affairs I started out to write
about, but the democracy feel so good
over the election, that it is impossible to
suppress ones feelings.
There seems to be an impression among
Democrats that Mr. Wilcox ran behind in
this, his own township. It is true, and
, easily explaiued. When a resident of
; your town, an old, and supposed to be, re
| liable democrat, stoops so low as to return
on the afternoon of election day to his old
1 home, aDd distribute printed tickets, just
the same as our democratic tickets, with
the exception of Lott's name instead of
' Wilcox's, and succeeds in swindling seven
• democrats, who on many former elections
! were in the habit of voting tickets that he
gave them, it is no wonder that Wilcox
runs behind in his own township. Those
seven tickets with Lott's name on them,
cut Wilcox fourteen votes, and those Dem
ocrats that voted them knew nothing about
the swindle. Wilcox's majority would
have been fifty-five, at bis home, if the
1 wolf in sheep's clothing had not got among
the faithful/It would have been pleasanter
. : for his former democratic friends of this
1 township to have known he had left for
Delaware before the election than to bav e
stayed to stab hit own party in the daik,
( and in an uoderhand, knownothing way.
Let the democracy of our couuty be pu
■ rified. Do not let us hereafter as hereto-
fore receive in the rural districts, on the
day before election from your town notice
to push up certain candidates, that in your
town there is danger of their being sacri
i ficed.
i ; Purify the offices. Commence as soon
as Mr, Overfield takes his place in the
board. Let the other Commissioners vote
with him to clean out their room, and as
; fast as a man that holds office, proves a
| traitor to democratic principles, on person
al grounds, strike him down, or the rural
, districts of this county may strike to hurt,
when you least expect it-
Our village is going up. Improve
j ments are the order here—in addition to
, our new and magnificent churches, as well
las innumerable tbree story houses. Those
i sterling young democrats, Leroy Bacon,
and Hurley Steinbeck, are preparing to
erect a large, steam, Planing and Sash
Mill. The Gold and Silver Mining Com
pany are getting ont the timber for their
buildings at Pierceville. They expect to
expend some eighty thousand dollars in
buildings and machinery. So you see that
Nicholson is not only Democratic, but is
taking the lead in .bis county, in the way
, of improvements.
Yours, Ac.
J NICHOLSOW.
WHAT TUB PEOPLE HAVE DO*E.—"A
vote for Judge Sharswood will be a vote
for treason; a vote for repudiating the
Federal debt; a vote to deprive the wid-
I ows and orphans of our soldiers of pen
sions snd for giving pensions to the wid
ows of rebels; a vote to overthrow Con
gress ; a vote to make Johnson Dictator,
and a vote to stop reconstruction."
This was the language of the Ilarris
burg Telegraph a few days ago. As a
majority of the people of Pennsylvania
have cast their votes forjudge Sharswood,
of course—unless that veracious organ told
a fib —all these measures stand endorsed.
! Hence, by the verdict of the people, trea
son is now respectable; the big debt is no
more; rebel bonds are at a premium ;
•♦Congress" will immediately abdicate;
Johnson will send to Russia for one of the
old crowns; and the progress of putting
up the negro and putting down the white
man will be brought up with a short tarn.
Who saya nay ? The Deacon is a church
member and cannot tell a lie, and is it not
written 44 Vox populi vox DeV —The voice
l of the people is the voice of God 7*—
Therefore, who dare sav these things shall
\ not be ?— Patriot & l/nwu.

duce it that our readers may know how
country editors elsewhere talk to their
patrons:
1. Lay aside your fears that the editor
will get rich taster than his neighbors. —
We have never beard of a man making
much more than a decent living by the
publication of a country newspaper if be
had ever so good a business.
2. If the paper agrees with your way of
thinking, subscribe and pay for it, and per
suade your neighbors of same mind to go
and do likewise. Do not tell the editor to
send you the paper without paying, and
when you get to owing two or three dol
lars, tell your friends that the paper will
burst up one of these days, 'lhe way un
der such a state of the fcase, to keep a pa
per from "bursting up," is for each sub
scriber to keep the editor's books free
from charges against himself. This thing
of applying the credit system to the news
paper business may be likened to a farmer
selling out his crop a bushel to the man.—
The sum each would owe would seem of
little account but the aggregate might
make or break the former.
3. If you have a father, mother, brother,
sister, or a fiiend at a distance, and are
able to do so, subscribe, pay for and send
them a copy,
4. -Do not expect too much of the editor
when he is compelled to be his own com
positor, proof reader, etc.
5. Do not expect the editor to make
honorable mention of your business every
few weeks for nothing.
6. If you wish to sustain yonr local pa
per properly, to live in peace and die hap
py, remember what we have told you in
this article.
