a fair, straightforward proposal, and I'll give
you ten minutes to think about it.'
The colonel placed his watch before him
upon the table, took up the Times, and plunged
into a leader.
My uncle luckily coming in at this moment,
I laid Colonel Stark's proposition before him,
and requested his advice. When the ap
pointed time had expired, the colonel emerged
from the newspaper.
'Well, youngster, what's the decision ?' he
inquired.
•Colonel, I accept.'
The conditions of this curious compact were
speedily reduced to 'writing. The document
was signed, sealed, and delivered. A duplicate
Was prepared for me ; the original was handed
to the colonel, who buttoned it with a chuckle
securely inside his breast-pocket, asked if he
should give my love to Letty, and with this
.Parthian shaft departed on his way.
Yon see, Colonel Stark had such profound
reliance upon his own sharpsightedness, and
felt so thoroughly convinced that he met

Tan political struggle which has been wa
ging so hotly for the past three months
throughout this Commonwealth will be termi
nated by the setting sun to-day. A day or
two, and the anxiety few are free from feeling
in the remit, will be over_ The public mind
will seek a respite from the wearying excite
ments engendered by a fierce campaign in the
sathifanticat of victory or be reconciled to re
gret, touched by the tidings of defeat. The
conservative masses, friends of liberty, and
good faith, and the Union unimpaired, will
mourn more deeply their discomfiture, than
they will rejoice in triumph.
It requires no deeper inspiration than the
tendency of the times affords, the history of a
misgoverned people for the past two years, to
prophesy some of the results which must fol
low in the event of the former_ We have
foretold them over and over within the past
twelve months, in the columns of this journal,
and now with twelve short hours which yet
remain to tell the uncertain sequel of a contest
so critical in all its bearings for the welfare
and future of the nation, we are prepared to
reaffirm the solemn assurance of the past, to
place on record again the steady conviction of
great national calamity, should the supporters
of the administration succeed in the election
of their man.
If radical fraud can win the election against
the actual and honest sentiments of the people,
in face of the testimony of mis-role which the
administration has furnished for their instruc
tion, In elate of the therm, weakness and pro
fligacy of the present Executive and his con
duct of our own State affairs, which have been
so boldly laid bare by his own partisans—if,
With records before them like those of the past
two years, the base betrayal of national trust
when the life of the nation is in jeopardy and
the accumulated crimes of which the adminis
tration s t an ds convicted, if with a debt which
it has created for no purpose and war with a
policy it has prolonged to no end but to dis
tract and divide us more and more, if, with
lawlessness, bigotry and cruelty to darken the
long chronicle of its mis-deeds, the freehidders
of Pennsylvania can find it in their hearts to
sanction the acts of the Lincoln dynasty and
the official short-comings of Curtin, who is its
creature, we challenge, in the face of the pos
sibility of such a result, their attention to an
assertion of what must follow :
Pennsylvania, under another Curtin regime,
will be made hopelessly proselyte to the oli
garchy at Washington ; the public debt, the
burthen of which must fall so largely upon us,
will be increased with no result in favor of the
Union as those in power may find encourage
ment foi their reckless expenditure of our na
tional treasure in the seeming approval of the
people ; the tendency to consolidate our polity,
the national resources and general welfare of
the country will be aided to its perfect ac
complishment; proseription and the prostitu
tion of physical power to stifle the free expres
sion of opinion, the lawful scrutiny of its acts
by the public press, will be put down by an
administration fearfully conscious of its own
iniquities; the experiment of the subjugation
of the Sotth will continua on its trial with an
unabated /bitterness and a more resolute de
spair; the internal affairs of the State will be
managed by corrupt and corporate influences,
and with no remedies for the evils of the time,
they will Continue to grow worse as its lapse
grows greater. At the expiration of his
new term of office should Curtin be elected,

and hie flonrinhed in the pride of her freedom

iesobrriciiN -
We anticipate Be suck results. They lie
Amply in possibility. The prospect is bright
and hopeful for the triumph of conservative
principles and the return of better days to the
State and the Republic. But if our confidence
in success be not realized, we deliberately
commit the foregoing convictions to the con
sideration of the people, and we are willing to
be judged by them.
Important to Election Officers.
The election law is so plain respecting the
qualifications and rights of resident taxable
citizens of the different districts, that the elec
tion officers need no other guide than Purdon's
Digifet of the Laws of Pennsylvania to enable
them to perform their duties in accordance
with the laws.
The only doubt that can exist is in respect
to the qualifications of soldleits and Arangeta.
But the decision of the Supreme Court on this
very point fortunately settles the question be
yond all controversy. In the case of Chase vs.
Miller, 5 Pa. Law Reports, page 48, it is said
by the Supreme Court that, "THE ntour orA.
SOLDIER TO VOTE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, IS
Itit).l4lcl:ily way O:Ce fl 51 . 44 olitzfo4Al6llJ:o4'kAß:Cl
RECILDED AT THE TIME OP MS EETisitatio THE
HILITARY SERVICE."
[This important decision may also be found
approved and recognized in Judge M'Kinney's
book on the election laws, page 80, appended
by him after the publication of the work.]
It follows, therefore, that the soldier's right
to vote is confined to the district of his residence
when he enlisted; he can vote nowhere else while
he remains in the military service. And it makes
no difference Wilether the soldier is a married
or single man. The law draws no distinction
between them. This decision is binding upon
all election officers and State courts, as well as
upon all citizens ; and any election officer who
teeeilieit the tetce of soldiers in districts where
they are only quartered or employed, is liable
to prosecution, under the severe penalties of
the law.
The sick, wounded and invalid soldiers in
the hospitals and invalid camps of this county
have no right to vote here, unless they were
residents of the particular district in which they
are now stationed at the time they entered the
military service. Their mere bodily presence
in the district does not constitute a residence
within the meaning and purview of the law,
and does not qualify them to vote there. They
are in the military service, temporarily sta
tioned in a certain district, under orders from
their -superior officers, and it cannot be said,
without a palpable perversion of the meaning
of plain words, that they are resident; within
the intention and meaning of the law. An in
dispensable element of suffrage is wanting in
suck cases ; that is, a bona Fide residence in the
district. No election board has the power to
dispense with that important qualification in
an elector, awl if he is deficient in it,
his vote must not be received. And here
it may be well to observe, that the Su
preme Court never deciaed that soldiers
could not vote, but simply that ALL citizens—
soldiers and civilians alike—must have the
prescribed qualifications, and vote in accord
ance with the Constitution and laws of the
State. And, to do this, they must vote in their
own appropriate home districts, :where their
residence oontiuttoo throughout. the tarfm Of
their enlistment, unimpaired by their absence
in the military service. To allow them to vote
elsewhere, would make the ballot-box an easy
prey to fraud and all its deplorable consequen
ces. Strangers, having no acquaintance, in
terest or property in § county, could control
its elections, and defeat the will of its pro
perty-holding and resident citizens.
And hoiden that, voters temporarily absent
from their bona fide district residences could
vote on a tea days' stay in a new district, "in
pursuance of their lawful calling," and return
to their homes, where they are assessed and
taxed as resident citizens, and again vote there,
without their right to Tote being questioned or
challenged ; thus perpetrating dangerous
frauds upon the ballot-box without fear of
being apprehended. This the law never con
templated and nevet- allowed. The evil ten
dency of such a wholesale license to rambling
voters was long since foreseen, and hence the
exactness and ears of the Legislature and
courts in requiPing, as an indispensable quali
fication of suffrage, a bone fide and fixed resi
dence in the district where a man Offen to
vote.
And in respect to citizens of other States,
who may have been within the limits of this
State one year or more, in pursuance of their
lawful calling or otherwise, the law, as decided
by the courts, is explicit. Such persons have
no right to vote - unless their residence in Pennsyl
vania was and is coupled with the intention to be
come citizens thereof, and to abandon their eitiem
chip in other States. See note 1), Purdon's Di
gest, edition of 1861, page 375.
Election officers need fear no prosecutions
for faithfully performing their sworn duties.
The law is jealous of receiving illegal votes,
amino inspector can be prosecuted for reject. ,
ing votes unless on proof of malice. On the
other hand, the law inflicts heavy penalties
upon the officers for recoiling the votes of
persons who do not possess all the required
qualifications. The first and most important
qualification of a doubtful toter is a bona fide
residence in the district. See Purdon's Digest,
page 375. section 46. And to make the
meaning of the phrase, "bona fide residence,"
so Asia that no man can mistake or mis
understand it, the Supreme Court, in the
case of Chase vs. Miller aforesaid, expressly
define its signification as follows a "The term
residence in the Constitution is the same as
domicil—a word which' meaus the place where
A, man establishes his abode, makes the seat of
his property and exercises his civil and politi
cal rights." In a strict legal sense, therefore,
the residence of a man, within the meaning of
the law, is where he has his true, fixed and
permanent home and principal establishment,
and to which, whenever he is absent, he has
the intention of returning—animus reventendi.
Such is the plainly. written law, which the
election officers are sworn to impartially ad
minister, uninfluenced by party considera
tions.
Judges Allison and Thompson, well known
Republicans of Philadelphia, took the same
view of the law that we. have here presented,
in an opinion published on the let of October,
in giving instructions to the Election Inspec
tors of that city. The opinion is published in
the Philadelphia newspapers of the 2d inst.
Judge Pearson having been absent in the West
for the last six weeks, the election officers have
bad no opportunity of requesting of him an
opinion upon the law; but we are certain, from
his high character as a jurist, that he holds
the same opinion in respect to the residence
qualification. He is always one of the most
prompt of all judicial officers to recognise the
binding force of the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the State as his guide in the adminis
tration of the law.
Tag election law pamphlet, written in this
city by a member of the Bar, on the subject
of which it treats, is a correct exposition of
the law. It has been examined by one of the
Judges of the oupreme Court and several of
our ablest resident lawyers, and approved and
recommended as a concise and simple expla
nation of doubtful panto touching the qualifi
cations of voters.
The Abolition print points to no single error
or iniSetateinent of the lair itt the Book, and
can find none.
Its ignorance of the laws of the State is so
clearly shown in its Saturday's issue, that no
refutation of its falsehoods is necessary.
Its editors will hesitate at nothing false and
dishonorable to accomplish their purposes.
The people must be on their guard and protect
the ballot box against fraud and violence, at
every hazard.
Sensible Colored Folks.
Mora the Richmond Whig, October 71
The Petersburg Express is informed by Lieu
tenant Daniels, who has just arrived at Peters
burg from Fort Norfolk, that some 35 or 40
Southern negroee ; captured at Gettysburg, are
confined in Fort M'Henry. He says that they
profess an undying attachment for the South.
Several times General Schenck has offered to
release them front the fort if they would take
the oath of allegiance to the Federal Govern
ment and join the Lincoln army. They have
peremptorily refused in every instance, and
claim that they should be restored to their
masters and homes in the South. They say
they would prefer death to liberty on the terms
proposed by Schenck.
[lt don't require much sense or much reflec
tion to prefer death to suck liberty as Schenck
grants. The liberty he , proposes—the despi
cable wretch—always associates itself, in the
mind, with the clanking of chains, dungeons
and provost guards.]
A BIG SCARE.
The shoddyites, who were se cock sure of
electing Curtin three weeks ago, and talked of
carrying the State by thirty or forty thousand,
are Own in the mouth at present, suffering
under a big scare. The large meetings, every
where, in favor of Woodward, and the slim
gatherings in favor of Curtin, have given the
shoddyites the cold chills, and they don't ven
ture to either brag or banter as they did in the
earlier part of the campaign. They see they
have missed a figure. They calculated that
money was omnipotent, and they find it ain't.
They have bought up a few worthless fellows,
who cannot control a vote beside their own,
but haven't succeeded in undermining the in
tegrity Of the people, That, thank God, is
firm; and in that one fact the shoddyites read
their doom, and tremble.
THREATENING THE WORKMEN_
We have heard of a number of threats made
to workmen in our large shops and manufe,c"-
tories—threats of discharge in case they re
rase to vote the Abolition ticket. The law is
severe against all those who thus undertake to
intimidate or coerce their employees, and we
advise prosecution in every case where intimi
dation is attempted. The penalty for the of
fence is a, fine of not less than $5OO and im
prisonment for not less than two years. Let
none of the workingmen be scared by threats.
They have the God-given right of life, which
employers cannot take from them, and their
constitutional rights are so guarded that any
infringement of them is punishable under the
laws. Therefore, working men, be bold end
fearless.
More Abolition Disloyalty to the Govern
ment—The Vice President an Oath.
Breaker.
Vice President Hamlin, in his recent speech
in New York, said :
"We have a dam of men among us in Maine
who very much want the Constitution as it is
and the Union as it was. Have you got them
here ? (Voices, "Yes.") lam very sorry in
deed that they cannot have it. It is Mere darn
agogueiam, mere clap-trap; it is nonsense-wit is
net very good nonsense."
Yet when Mr. Hamlin took the oath a of.
fice, he swore to support "the Constitutbin as
it is." Did he take this oath with a mental
reservation, like President Lincoln, who , ex
plained that his first obligation was to the
Chicago Platform !

WHO ARE TRAITORS?
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, in connec
tion with Wade, and Wilson, and Sumner, the
dictator of all the measures, civil and military,
of Lincoln's administration, in three different
speeches, one of them made quite recently in
Ohio, said :
"I THANK GOD WE WERE DEFEATED
AT BULL RUN,"
Senator Trumbull, an Abolition U. S. Sena
tor from Illinois, declared:
thank God that the Federal arms were
defeated at Bull Run and on the Peninsula
and under Pope, for without such defeats we
should not have had the Emancipatton Proclama
tion 1 Had we won at Ball Ran, or taken Rieh
mond, the backbone of the rebellion would
have been broken, and the Union would have
been restored with slavery remaining in it !"
What Demoorat was ever known to utter sen
timents so treasonable, so infamous as these—
and yet these men are termed “loyal' by the
Abolitionists, while Democrats who never ut
tered a disloyal sentiment, are termed "Cop
perheads" and Secession sympathizers.
CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS.
Ne ale will claim that a citizen can vote
out of his election district. Why, then, should
a soldier. who is bn. a citizen in uniform?
To decide that a soldier can vote out of the
election district where he resided when he enlisted,
would be to decide that he can legally vote in
two Oboes, for it is clear he contd vote in the
district where he resided when he enlisted, if
he were there; and certainly the law contem
plated no such absurdity as making him a
legal voter in two districts.
In our judgment the officers of election are
bound by their oaths to admit no man to vote,
whether he be citizen or soldier, who is not
in his proper district—and the proper district of
a soldier is " the district where he resided at
the time of his entering the military service."
The New York World and Weekly Argus.
Those Malta Democratic papers the New
York World, (daily,) and New York Argus,
(weekly,) have been united. A. better arrange

Erma COMSTOCK, Esq., under whose able and
judicious management the weekly Argus has
become deservedly popular, will be continued.
The consolidated paper has our best wishes for
its success.
The Insane Asylum.
Mr. W. S. Rutherford, Steward of the In
sane Asylum, contradicts the statement we
made yesterday that the institution was at
tempting to intimidate its employees from vo
ting in accordance with their party principles.
We can only say we made the statement on
what we consider good authority. However,
we give the institution the benefit of Mr, Ruth

It appears to be generally believed that the

has passed from the left to the right of our
front, pursuing an obscure route, near the
Blue Ridge, intending to make a demonstra
tion on our right and rear, for the purpose of
cutting our railroad communication.
Measures are preparing to give him a fitting
reception in that quarter, but should the rebel
movement be simply a ruse to cover a heavy
attack on our front., we Are prepared for it, as
the ground has been cleared of everything cal

GREAT INDIAN BATTLE AT WHITE STONE
HILLS.
THREE DATE PIORTINO-800 INDIANS SILLED
AND RANT WOUNDED, AC.
FORT PIERRE, D. T., Sept. 13.—Gen. Sully
met the Indians, about 2,500 strong, on the
3d of September, something like 200 miles
north of Fort Pierre, where an engagement
ensued. The Indians were overhauled by a
part of the 6th lowa cavalry, about 3 o'clock,
p. m., who occupied two hours in deploying
the enemy in various ways, patiently awaiting
the arrival of the command. The enemy were
under cover in a ravine running north and
south. The General formed a section of his
force and the battery on the north; the 6th
lowa fell in line of battle on the east side of
the ravine, and the 2d Nebraska cavalry On
the west side. The 2d Nebraska opened fire
on the enemy immediately, which was kept up
by both regiments until night set in. The 2d
Nebraska, after the third round, advanced to
Within thirty yards of the enemy, and poured
round after round into the conglomerated mass
of Indians, squaws, papooses, ponies, And
dogs, the mingled noise of which was the most
hideous that ever racked human ears.
The Indians fought like demons, but over
shot us. The firing gradually ceased as the
night advanced. During the night the enemy
escaped, leaving everything they possessed in
the world on the field, even their squaws and
children. In the morning we found the enemy's
dead and wounded in every direction. As many
as three hundred were killed, and the wounded
innumerable. On the 4th our scouts over
hauled the enemy on several occasion, result
ing in spirited fights. On the bth, the detach
ment sent to the north, were driven in with a
lose of six killed. The 2d Nebraska was imme
diately ordered to pursue the enemy, which
they did, overtaking a part of them about seven
miles from camp, where a short engagement
took place, resulting in killing six Indians.
Our loss, during the three days' fighting,
amounts to sixty-one killed and wounded. We
have taken over three hundred prisoners. We
have taken thousands of email articles, such as
gowns, bonnets, household and kitchen furni
ture, books, and articles of small value, that
these murdering scoundrels took from the 7flia
nesots people last fall.
