THE ELECTION RETURNS received by telegraph and mail up to the hour of going to press, indicate that Grant has carried enough states to elect him President, and that taxation, bankruptcy, inillitary despot ism, oppression, injustice and wrong is the lot of the laboring white man ; and that the "bureau" and negro domination is to continue for the next four years. We have no anxiety to hear further re- ports. We don't want to talk about the elec tion of 1868. We have a through ticket for the very head waters of salt river. We retreat in good order. We are not scattered or de moralized. We propose to take a new start from that pure fountain. Next week, we shall have "about faced " We shall then open the campaign for 1872, with a firm reliance on the eventual triumph of our cause, which is founded on TRUTH and JUSTICE. The vote in this County as far as re ceived indicates a Democratic majority of 150 to 175, a slight falling otl' on the vote at the October election. Just Think of It. ' If a person with sufficient lease of life wculd commence on the first of December, 1868, the gigantic woik of counting the national debt, dollar by dollar, at the rate of fifty dollars a minute, and continue to work at the rate of ten hours each day, (Sunday excepted,) he would complete his mammoth undertaking in the latter part of the year two thou-anJ one hundred and thirtv five ? In other words, it would take him two hundred and sixty-seven years to do Ins work. Can such an enormous debt be paid ? Certainly it can, by proper management. During the three years that have passed since the close of the war, the agents of the United States collected more than halt enough to do it. In addition to this, they had the receipts from customs, from the sales of war property, such as ships, arms, wagons, etc.; and but, strange to tell, the debt has been constantly increasing. Where does the money go ? With a judicious economy, such as has always characterized Democratic Adminis trations, such as that faithful old party pur poses to introduce as soon as the people confide the power to its trusty keeping, a few years will wipe out this enormous in debtedness, and we will be free from that most odious tyranny —a money oppression. X3T Every war question was settled on the surrender of Lee and Johnson. The terms granted by Grant, Shermau and the Government have never been lived up to llence ail the trouble in the South. Grant himself reported, in 1865, that the people of that section were well disposed, had no notion of opposing the general govern ment ; that they were, in fact, t. quiet, peaceable, submissive people This report of Grant, Sumner called, in the Senate of the United States, a "white washing" re port, and all the energies, tactics and iuge nuity of the Radical party were put in op eration to create disorder and violence in the South. By their infamous Recon struction acts they succeeded; and now, because the people of the South will not lie still and be trodden down, without inurmuting or resistance, they keep up their senseless, wicked clainor of 'rebellion' while, in truth, they, themselves, are the only rebels in the country. How to become Loyal. Gov. Vance of North Carolina, in a re cent speech, among other good things, got off the following: Just go for Grant and—lo ! !—you are loyal. I could make a loyal man out of myself in a few seconds, by simply tele graphing that I would support the Grant and Colfax ticket. My sins would be forgiven and they would tell me to "de part in peadl"—like a buncombe magis-* trate of my town the other day. A couple presented themselves before him to be married. He was a pompous sort' of ignoramus and was smartly bothered " how to do it," as a crowd of town boys had collected to see the fun. Af ter he had batllewlianged theiu through and tied thein as man and wife there was a kind of pause. The couple did not know "it was all over." So, straighten ing bimselt up, one arm in akimbo, ; "my friends," said he, "depart in peace 1 and sin no more." TAR A criminal was nonplussed how to avoid the Washington officials, when a youog lady friend of high standing solved the diffiqplty by produciug her Saratoga trunk, in the top and neighbor of which two holes were bored. Inside she placed a box of sandwiches, a pint bottle of lirjuor, an ar my blanket and a young man.

" liether a difficult task to Obey, PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON THE NA 11ONAL FINANCES. A Deploralle State of Affairs. WASHINGTON, Oct. '24.—The President of the United States has addressed the fol lowing le ier to Gen. Elwing : EXECUTIVE MANSION, / WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 24 'cß ) DEAR SIR—In a recent conversation up on the subject of the tinances _\ou express- I ed a desire to be furnished with some of the leading facts then mentioned touching the national expenditure and the public debt, comply with your request, regrettiug, however, that otl er and more pressing matters have prevented me from more clearly illustrating the absolute ne cessity for immediate reform in the finan cial operations of the government. In 1776 our national independence was proclaimed, and after an exhaustive, bloody struggle of seven years, was, in 1783, ac knowledged by the parent government. In 1787 the Federal Constitution was framed and in 1789 the Government went into operation under its provisions, bur dened with a debt of $75,<>u0,000, created during the war of the Revolution. Im mediately upon the organization of Con gress measures were devised for the pay ment ot the national obligations and the restoration of the public credit; and when in 1812, war was declared against Great Britain, the debt had already been redu ced to 45,0U0,U00. It was then largely increased by the three years' struggle that ensued between the nations, till, in 1816, it had reached the sum of $127,000,000. Peace again established, provisions was made for the earbest practicable liquida tion ot this indebtedness, in order that it might not become a permanent incum brance upon the people. By tender, wise and economical legislation, the entire amount was paid in a period of twenty years, and the extinguishment of the na tional debt filled the land with rejoicing and was one of the great events of Presi dent Jackson's administration Even af ter its payment a large fund remained in the Treasury, which, for safe keeping, was deposited with the several States on con dition that it should be returned when re quired by the public wants. In 1849, the year after the termination of an expensive war with Mexico, we found ourselves involved in a debt of $64,- OfoO.OOO, and this was the amount owed by tLe government in 1860, just prior to the outbreak of the rebellion. In the Spring ot 1801, tLe war of the rebellion ! commenced. Each year ot its continuance made an enormous addition to the debt, so that when, in the Spring of 1865, the nation successfully emerged from tlieAlreadful conflict, the obligations ot the government had reached the vast amount of $2,600,- 000,000. They had not yet, however, at tained their highest point, for, when the army and navy had been paid, the volun teer forces disbanded and the navy large ly reduced, it was found in February, 1867 that our indebtedness exceeded $2,800,- 000,000 Having thus referred to the indebted ness of the government at various periods of its existence, it may be well to call at tention to a brief statement of facts con nected with its expenditures. Front the 4th day of March, 1789, to the 30th of June, 18G1, tlie entire public expenditures were 51,70U,000,000, although covering a period of seventy-two yenrs. This amount is small when compared with the expenses of the government during the recent war of four years' duration, for from the Ist of July, 1861, to the 30th of June 1865, they reached the enormous aggregate of $3,300,000,000. An investigation into the disbursements since the Ist of July, 1865, further shows that by adding to the expenditures of the last three years the estimated cost of ad ministering the government for the year ending the 30th ol June, 1869, we obtain the sum of 51,600,000,000 as the amount lequired tor the four years immediately following the cessation of hostilities, or nearly as much as was expended dnring the seventy two years that preceded the war. It will be. seen that from 1791 to 1861 our public debt was at no time more than $127,000,000, while subsequently four years of civil war expanded it to $2,- 800,000,000. v lt will also be perceived that, while prior to 1861 the largest an nual disbuisement was not quite $74,000,- 000, for the year 1858, the expenlitures during the last three years of peace have successively been $520,000,000, $346,- 000,000, and $393,000,000; $872,000,- 000 being the amount which it is estimated will be necessarv for the year ending the 30th of June next. In making this comparison we should re member that during the long interval be tween 1789 and 18C1 the government was frequently required to make expenditures lof an extraordinay character. Large sums were paid to Indians as annuities and for the purchase of their land, and expensive wars were waged against powerful tribes. Louisana was acquirer! from Fiance at a cost of 515,000,000, Florida, in considera— i lion of $5,000,000, was ceded to us by 1 Spain. California became part of our pos sessions on payment to Mexico of $15,000,- 000, while for $10,900,t)00 our govern i ment secured from Texas the territory of | New Mexico. During the periods of our history we were also engaged in wars with Great Britain in Mexico—the first waged against one of the most powerful nations of the world, the other made additionally ex i pensive by the preservation of military op eration in the enemy's territory. The startling facts thus concisely stated suggest an inquiry as to the cause of this increase in the expenditures and indebted ' ness of the country. During the evil war ' the maintenance of the federal government was the one great purpose that animated onr people, and that economy which should always characterize our financial j operations was over-looked in the great effort of the nation to preserve its exist ence. Many abuses which had their ori- j gin in the war continued to exist long af ter it had been brought to a triumphant conclusion, and the people, having become accustomed to a lavish expenditure of the public money for an object so dear to them as the preservation of the integrity of their institutions, have partially tolerated taxa tion of the most oppressive character. Large sums of money continued to be ex tracted and squandered in useless and e<-> j travagant appropriation. Enormous ex penditures are demaidad fir purposes the accomplishment of which require* a large standing army, the p< rversion of the Con- 1 >ti*ution and the subjugation of the States to negro domin ition, with n military estab lishment costing in time of peace not less than $100,0C0,000 annually, and a debt the interest upon which draws from the treasury each year nearly $150,000,000, making a total of of $350,000,000 tor those two items of expenditure alone. Re trenchment has bee eiie an absolute neces sity, or bankruptcy must soon overtake us and involve country in its paralysing and disastrous results. If, however, a wise economy may be adopted, not merely for the ben Wit of a few, but in interest of all, a revenue would yet remain sufficient for the administration of the government, as well as for such public debt u* would in a few years relieve the people from mil lions of interest now annually drawn from their resources The idea that the debt is to become per manent should be at all times discounte nanced as involving taxation too heavy to he borne and payment of an amount of in terest every sixteen years equal to the original sum. The gradual liquidation uf the public debt would by degrees re lieve the large capital invested in the se curities of the government, which, seeking renumeration in other sources of income, would add to the wealth of the nation up on which it is now so great a drain This immense debt, if permitted to become per manent and increasing, must eventually be gathered in the hands offhe few and ena ble thein to exert a dangerous and control ling power in the affairs of the govern ment. The debtors would become the servants of the lenders, the creditors the masters of the people. It is our boast that we have given freedom to three mil lions of slaves; it will then be our shame that by their own toleration of usurpation and profligacy forty millions of people have enslaved themselves and exelianged stock holders and tax-gatherers. Hence the vita! issue—whether Con gress and its arbitrary assumptions of au thority shall supercede the supreme law of the land; whether in time of peace the country shall be controlled by a multitude of tax collectors and a standing army, the one almost as numerous as the other, and making the debt a permanent burden up on the productive industry of the people; or whether the constitution, with each and all of its guarantees, shall be sacredly pre served; whether now, as in 1789 and 1810, provision shall be made for the payment of our obligations at as early a period as practicable, that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed by our citizens rather than used to build up anil sustain a money monopoly at home and abroad. The con test is not merely who shall occupy the principal offices in the people's gift, hut whether the high behests of the Fedeial Constitution shall be observed and main tained, in order that our liberty may he national; fraternal feeling re-established, that our national strength may be renewed; the expenditures diminished, that taxation may be lightened, and the public debt once more extinguished, that it may not injuri ously affect the life and energy, the pros perity and morals of the nation. Believing that for the redress of these great wrongs, and the correction of these inanv abuses under which the county is now laboring, we must look to the Ameri can people, and that in them is our hope I am truly your friend, ANDREW JOHNSON.

Frederick Myers was about in the centre of the room. Cool baugh was at the back of the Hall. He pushed Ac door shut and stood on the in side. When they left some went toward Main street, and some toward Washington. I went to Canal Street. Half an hour af terwards ,!ie window*. The storming i-oiiliinied live or tell minutes.

Heard Bris bane talking to thern Did not hear what the.v were talking about. Did not hear them say where they were going. Sup posed they were going to raise a fight.— Some went down South street and some up Main I went up Main and down to Shovlin's bridge. Went there with part of the crowd from Landmesser Hall.— Went to see what the party would do.— Before we went into the Hall, heard some of the hoys talking about going over to tear out Shovlin. Urban F'ineh was one who walked up street with me. At least half of the crowd at the Hall lived in town. Heard some of them talking about Shov lin at the Third ward polls. They said the boys were going up to tear him out.— Half a dozen went from the Third ward polls up to the Hall. Knew some bv sight, none by name. About half were young men and ha'f old men. Young Kick-- went up with me. Heard the mat ti-r proposed just before the polls closed. 1 weiii aero-s the canal bridge but took no part. The crowd waited about ten minutes ou the bridge. Heard somebody cry out "Liberty." In a iniuute or two afterwards heard the stones tiy against the house. The stoning c mtinued four or five minutes. After the stoning the crowd came back over the bridge. Heard a couple of pistol shots fired alter the ston ing. They were all good Republicans.— So am I. Went t>> the wigwam when I came hack. Brisbane and Isaac Teots came in. Frank' Shoif lin sworn —Was tending! bar for Dan Shovlin on election day and nigbt, about half-pa-t seven t'apt. Ellis | came through the bar-room with H cane in his I and, into the hall leading past the dining room and into the room where the election was held. He said nothing.— < "ante back and walked out the door fa cing the depot. Dr. Brisbane passed by the other door fronting the Easton turn pike towards the poll door. Four or five minutes afterwards the stoning and ham mering commenced at the door and win dows. I jumped over the counter wtth out doors and saw Giles Stevens kicking at the poll door on the porch. I ran bar k and commenced securing the bar-room My brother was thrown bleeding and sense less into the bar room. I did not at first recognize bun for the blood. When I lifted him up I recognized him as my brother. llis eye was out, lying on his cheek. He lay insensible all the evening. The door, sash, windows and the side of j the house was all smashed. There are half a bushel of large stones lying in the room where the polls were held, now. Th,e election board were counting tickets. Saw Brisbane, Ellis aud Giles Stevens. It was between 7 and 8 o'clock I should think. The election officers were driven ' from the room. 6'. F. McDermott, a Member or the Lu zerne Bar, sworn —Was cler£ of the elec tion board. After the polls were closed, we spent a few moments in the room, dis eus*ing as to who should go to supper first. It was finally arranged that all the rest should go to supper, and I should remain and take care of the ballot boxes and pa pers. After the rest of the board got their supper, and came back, I went and got mine. It wai about half-past seven o'clock when I went to supper. As soou as I got iny supper, we sat down to count the votes. Just as the Judge of Election I (Ziba Gruver) had taken off the cover of i one of the ballot-boxes, and was in act of taking out some of the votes, there came a thump at the door. The Judge dropped the tickets back in the ballot oox. Some one remarked that "something was going on outside." Just then something else stiuck the door, and I says, "Hoys, that's a stone." Then there were three or fout stones came in quick succession. The glass flew all over. The sash flew in fragments about the room. Something flew between my feet. 1 immediately jumped up, took one of the ballot-boxes, the Judge taking the other, and went up stairs. We re mained up stairs about ten minutes, I'art of us left the ballot-boxes in charge of one of the board, and went back, to the poll room for our hats and overcoats There were 15 or 20 stones in the room, some as large as my two fists. Heard ;3 of 4 shots fired Hfter the stoning, apparently from the other side of the bridge. John Mr Groarty, ttcorn —l was Inspec tor of the North District of Wilkes Barre township at the last election. (This wit ness, after testifying in substance to the same facts as Mr. McDermott, the Clerk of the Board, says:) After the rest of the Board had got out of the room, and I was left alone, some one outside remarked, "There's one s— of a b—h in there yet; lets kill him I then fled. 1 could see persons outside, but could not distinguish who they were. Michael Crogun, sworn —1 went down towards the township polls after the ston ing, and met the crowd coming, back. I heard Ike Juts say, "Rally boys." When I got near Shoolics 1 saw Giles Stevens and two other men, Stevens said, "Rally Co. C., and oome back boys." Wh-n I came back up town I saw Giles Stevens standing at Jake Beckers. Saw Fred. Meyers and two other deputies standing there. Heard the rattling of the lead on the house. Isaac Heyden, sworn—Was at Lap.lines ser's Hall election evening. Saw Fred. Meyeys, t apt.
