Below Will be foufftl a statement, clip ped from the Eeiston Journal , of the oper ations of this Company for the past year: FISCAL VFEAR OF RHK LEHIGH VALLEY. R. R.— Saturday, November 30th, closed the fiscal yew of this corporation, and ; shows that tinder the workings of its effi cient officials there is a large increase in the business of the road for 1867. The increase of coal tonnage is large, as will be seen by the following exhibit: Cost curried over tbe main line and branches for year ending Nor. 30th, 1867, 2,080,156 lb Wyoming Kegion, 274,333 14 Hacleton, 775,307 18 Bearer Mendi-w 577,678 05 Mahoney Kegion, •" .452,836 19 showing an increase of 42.442 09 over the j season of 1806. The shipments by rail east from Mauch Chunk show more of an increase and foot up 217,74G 18 tons, or ! lc£ per cent. To transport this large amount of coal cannot but tax the energies ot the officers of the road to the utmost, and when we take into consideration that no detention of any account was occasioned during the i year, we may safety conclude that the Le high Valley Railroad is managed with the' utmost skill and prudence—a fact most gratifying to the stockholders. The coal tonnage is not the only in crease of the business of the road. The freight department shows an increase over the receipts *of 1866 of 17 per cent., and : the receipts of the passenger department j show a gain of 10J per ceut, over the re ' ceipts of 1866. It should be remembered that the road was only completeo to the Wyoming Val ley during the past Summer. It is now in operation up to the Lackawanna at the north end of I'ittsion. The luidge at that point being about finished, and the grading and other work along the line of the canal northward being nearly done, we think we can safely calculate upon taking the cars at this place lor our next fourth of July excursion. The mad from Towanda to the State line is now in operation, so that there only remains tbe link between that place and Pittston to be built, to secure through trains from tbe New York & Erie R R. at Waverly to New York and Phil adelpbia. This, at the longest we think, will be consummated in the early part of the year' 69. We notice by our exchanges that this companv are offering for sale, at their of fice No. 412 Walnut street, Philadelphia, of the first mortgage bonds of the Pennsylvania and New York Canal and Railroad Company. The Lehigh Val lev R. li. Co. has eon'rol of the road and guarantee the punctual payment of the principal and interest. They are seven per cent, coupon bonds, interest payable semi-annually on the Ist of June and Ist of December, aud will be disposed of at 95 per cent. At this rate these bonds afford a better and safer investment for raonied men than any now in market, not excepting the 7-30's of the United States. Being secured by a first mortgage on a road and improvements which when completed will be one of the best paying in the country. THE ELECTION FRACDS IN PENNSYL VANIA.—The Philadelphia Age sets forth the full particulars of the election trauds committed by the Commissioner appointed by Gov. Geary, of Pennsylvania, to take tbe votes of the soldiers at Fort Delaware. The following facts are proved: "Four persons, three of them minois, and not one of them a resident, voted in Company L. These fabricated returns represented that sixty persons voted. The Poll Book sets out the names of these sixty voters, Fifty Jour of the*t names are fictitious. Twenty eight persons only [six of them enlisted in l'enn.jvcted in Co. K. These fabricated returns represent that 63 persons voted. The Poll-Book sets out the names of 63 person? 54 of wkii h are fictitious. Connected with these proofs of the crimes the returns exhibit certificates, prepared with clerkv neatness.well calculated to cheat the reader, purporting to be signed by judges and clerks of the election These signtureas number 24 in the Poll-Book of Co I, and 22 in the Poll-Book of Co. K. The Aye asks if this gross fraud is to go unpunished, and says: " It adds one dark feature to this black transaction, that, the whole seheme [even if the signatures and names are genuine and the soldi< rs were residents] was a fraud. There was no law in existence to auth orize the proceeding. The war is over, the volunteers of the State have long been out of service. Gov. Geary's commission to Henry Mitchell, Esq.. as he is styled therein was an act ontside of the law, arid though tl)e Governor is,not responsible for the abuse of his commission, yet he is responsible for an act which invited, and we may add, directed his agents to obtain votes of the soldiers at Fort Delaware, with a view that they should be counted as part of the vote of the election ot this common wealth. THE BLACK ART IS POLITICS, —By the disfranchisement of three-fourths of the men of the South, and the enfranchisement of the emancipated slaves, the radicals hope to elect the next President. They fear the loss of the Middle States, most of the Western States the Pacific States, the Border States, " and a good portion of New England. Hence their black Keconstruc tion scheme. Southern States could not be contro led in their interest, so thro' the black vote, they affected to regard tlicm out of the Union. So soon as they can manage those States, through negro voters they will pro nouncc them in the Union. This may be fairly styled the black art in politics. It is the IT iserable thimble-rigsing of desperate politicl jugglers. 'With them the Union is the Little joker. "Now you nee it, and now you don,t see it." Bnt some of the people who have attended the Radical show and paid dearly for a back seat in the pit, are beginning to bc"amongtlie missing."— Ex. Gen. Hancock's Order. The following is Gen. Hancock's Order issued on taking command of the Louisia na and Texas district, about which the Radicals have raised such a howl. The General seems to hold to the opinion that the people still have some rights under the civil laws, The Rads. can't tolerate such a doctrine as this, therefore the bowl. Headquarters Fiftli Military District, ) New Orleans, La., Nov. 29. j .Special Orders No. 40.— First —In Ac cordance with General Ordeis No. 81, Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant Gen eral's Office, YVashiugton 1). C. f Aug. 27, 1867, Major-General YY'.S, Hancock here by assumes command of the Fifth Military Distiict, and of the Department composed of the States of Louisiana and Texas Second —The General Commanding is | gratified to learn that peace and quiet reign in this department. It will be his purpose to preserve this condition of things. As a means to this great end he regards the maintenance of the civil authorities in the ; faithful execution of the law, as the most ! efficient under existing circumstances. In 1 war it is indispensable to repel force by ! foice, and overthrow Hnd destroy opposi tion to lawful authority ; but when insur rectionary force has been overthrown and peace established, and the civil authorities j are ready and willing to perform their du- I lies, the military power should cease to lead and the civil admin'-traiion resume its j natural and rightful dominion. Solemnly : impressed with these views, the General announces that the great principles of; American liberty still are the lawful inher i itance of this people, and ever should be. ! The right of trial by jury, the habeas cor- j pus , the liberty of the Press, the freedom j of speech, and the natural rights of per- 1 ! sons and the rights of property must be I preserved. Free institutions while they ! are essential to the prosperity and happi- | ness of the people, always furnished the j strongset inducements to peace and order. ; Climes and offences committed in the dis- j trict must be referred to the consideration and judgment of the regular civil authori ties, and those tribunals will he supported in th* ir lawful jurisdiction. Should there be violations of existing laws which are not inquired into by the civil magistrates, or should failures in the administration of , justice by the Courts be complained of, the cases will be reported to these aeadquar \ i ters, when such orders will be made as I deemed necessary. While the (ieneral j thus indicates his purpose to respect th< | liberties of the paople, be wishes all to un derstand that armed insurrections or forci- j Die resistance to the law will be instantly suppressed by arms. By command of Mjor-Gen. YY'.S. HANCOCK. YY' G. MITCHELL, Aid de Camp A. A, A. G. " If there had been no Democratic par-! j ty, there would have been no war,"— Hud- j ical Exchange. How often this falsehood has been re peated by the Radical journals and speak- j ers, we have no means of ascertaining. If 1 constantly repeating a false statement I make it true, it woulu have long since been acknowledged as an aosolute fact. But unhappily for those who have more to gain from falsehood than truth, it never has ; been and it never will be true. The (act is they have hut changed fronts. Dad there been no Republican or Radical party, there would have been no war.— I The Democratic party lias existed from the j time of Jefferson, and a great part ol that j time has been in power. But such was the i confidence of the people of all parties in its ; integrity and its justice that, though many ; ! of the present leadeis of the Radical party often threatened war, they were never able j to induce the people to folfaw them into rebellion. The old Federal party, the Democratic party, the \\ big party, have in turn been in power, but peace always pre vailed throughout the laud. It was reserv ed foi the modern Republican party to iu volvc the country in a fearful war, which it | neither had the tact, or perhaps we should j say, the desire to avoid, nor the ability to bring to a successful termination tih it had sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives and thousands of millions of treasure, filling i the land with woe and imposing upon the people a burden of debt which weighs down all their energies. Yes, we repeat it, had thcro been no ' Radical party organized in this country, whose avowed object was a dissolution of tin- Union, there would have been no war. 1 That is as certain as that the sun rises once jin each twenty-four hours. True, it takes two parties to make a war, as it does a j match at fistenfls. One of these parties 1 has been annihilated with bullets, and the ! other is being rapidly annihilated by bal lots, and all the sophistry and all the pro j fe.-sion of loyally on the part of Radicals have failed to blind the people to their j short-comings. In proof of our declara ; tion, we refer the reader to the speeches of ( the Radical orators, members of Congress,, j and of the l'eace Convention of 1861. j Exchange. II.IJ.omr.LE GE... SHARSWOOD, —On Mon day last, the Hon. George Sharswood took his seat as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. On last Saturday morning, Judge Sharswood's long connection with the District Court of Philadelphia closed. The Court room was crowded arid an 'address < f farewell was delivered by David Paul Brown Esq., on behalf of the members of the B*r, to which the Judge made a brief reply. H was held in high esteem by the members of the Bar of Philadelphia, and the separation of the relation* in the Court over which Judge Sharswood presided for so many years will seem strange. He will make an able Judge of the Court to whicb he has been elected, over which a Titghman, and a Gib son, have preside J, DON'T LIKE GRANT'S TESTIMONY.—A Washington correspondent says : 'The lead ing Radical* in both houses are intensely dis gusted with Gen. Grant's testimony before the Judiciary Committee. They threaten to annihilate him politically before their nomi nating convention meets next summer. The Chase men are in 'high feather' over this au thoritative expose of the status of their must formidable rival." Radicals Against White Men. Not content with raising the ignorant negroes of the Southern States to a full political equality with white men, the Radicals have so gerrymandered thu states through the agency of the Stevens-Sherman bill, as to give the" negroes undue power in proportion to their numbers. In \ irginia, Alabama, and Louisiana, this fact is plainly seen in the percentage of votes east by the negroes; and in Florida the returns show that the same system has been pursued. The negro population of this Slate, under the census of'lß6o, was in the neighborhood of sixty-six thousand, and yet fifteen thou sand negro votes have beeo returned at the late election, or one voter for each four of the negro population, this is not a fair proportion. In no one of the Northern States is there so large a white vote cast in pro portion to the popularity and this tact shows conclusively that the negro vote is not fair or honest. As a further illustration of this Radical fraud, look at some tacts in relation to West Florida, Four districts have been created in that portion of the State, and nine del gateselecied. In iln-se districts they are registered 2,088 whites to 2,458 negroes, yet the whites can elect but two delegates, while the blacks elect the other seven! That gives a delegate to every 353 negro voters, while the whites are allowed but one to every 1,343. It is very nearly the same way in Middle Flor ida ; al-o, too, in Kastern and Southern Florida. In Middle Florida, the 7,659 reg. ist< red negro voters elect 16 delegates while the 3.039 white voters chct but 3 ! In Southern and Kastern Florida, 5,325 ne groes elect 13 delegates, while 4,833 whites elect hut 5 ! In addition to this fraudulent manner of representing the negroes of Ilor ida, they have been allowed to vote where they choose, under one or s dozen names, and in this manner monopolize the whole political power and influence of the State, They have sent their tools an i agents to tfie Convention, and the Constitution will be framed in the interest of the negroes, and in opposition to white men. J low can the unrepresented States ever be restored to their old relations with the Federal government under such a system as that now prevaling in the South? VY bite men have lost all control of public affairs, and negro rule is daily becoming more consolidated and tyrannical. The property, lives, and liberty of the white lace, south of the Potomac, aie now in the hands of negroes, w ho have not the remotest idea of civil government. And this is the Radical plan for "restoring the Slates to the Union ; for building up the waste places in the Southern section of this nation. If white men do not wish to seethe South turned into a Ilayti, they must crush into nothing ness the party which would place the hei I of the negro on the neck of the white race, and check the nation in its onward march to prosperity and renown Age. GOT IT AT LAST, —We have been L.
