I= LENTOWN, PA., NOV. 18, 1872 Tan influence of the News in this city np• }tears to have been weak indeed, judging by the heavy majority given against Horace Gree icy. ` . :3I3IIMINCI up the reported and official um joritics, we find that Grant's majority in Pennsylvania is 132,542, with the prospect that It will go much higher., Tuu uew novel of Dr. llolland,Arthur Bon nicastle, luis already attained such a wide pop ularity that the publishers of Scribner's Monthly have been compelled to run off a sec ond edition of their magazine. TUE public has not beard much of our Board of Trade lately. We hope the organization will be kept In a healthy condition and that the public may soon see and appreciate the fruits of Its labors. A Board of Trade Is one of the indispensible institutions of a flrst•clsss city, and ours has been an honor as well seen ornament to Allentown. GRANT'S majority in Philadelphia Is 13,440 and in the State over 123,000. Alabama and Virginia are still undecided, but the probabil ities are they have gone for Grant. Greeley hits live States certain—Kentucky, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee and Maryland, the latter by nearly 3,000. Tennessee elects eight Re .publican Congressmen out of nine. Tukdordan liri Itte sidewalk should be acted upon soon. We understand the Democrats object to the county building it because it might be u - ,popular whb the country people. The Democrats need not fear anything of that it nil, because the country people ire Just, and it would be the height of iftjustice to put the .expense of repairing the bridgempon the city. It is a county bridge, the Grand Jury has de cided that it should be properly altered, and the work should be commenced at once. The city pays her just proportion of county taxes ungrudgingly and all that she asks in return is that her people shall be as well treated as those residing in the townships. Tne New York World has an In Ingenious way of explaining the cause or the disastrous. defeat which overtolls the Democracy in the Presidential contest. It says the defeat was not owing to the nomination of Mr. Greeley, but to the desperation which made the accept. any, of such a candidate by the Democracy 111 , -. AO, and the cause which produced this damp ,ition, this utter demoralization of the Dertaticracy, was the frauds committed by Taintadny. We contended all through the campaign that the Democracy had not buried deed issues; that It had not renounced the ways which made it obnoxious to the loyal people during the war; that It only accepted the Cincinnati phstrora as a means orgaining power, and if once in power would not up• hold those principals. Now, after the elec tion, the 'V , secs nothing in the past prin cipals of its party to make It weak—lts weak nessf to the World's mind, was caused only by the corruption of Tammany. But the Is sue Is settled; the Democracy isdead,and there , Is no use In discussing this dead Issue. The people may be thankful that they slid nut le suseitate such a party. IN the last election the Republicans did well in this County, but the returns show that too many felt "that It was a sure thing, and their votes were not needed." This is a feeling that, whether it Is caused by the certainty of • defeat, or the certainty of success, is harder to fight against than the Democratic majority of the County. Dad the Republicans' turned out en masse we could have carried the Coun ty for General Grant by a lrrge majority, and when ever the Republicans maim up their minds to go solidly to the polls in the future, we can elect the County ollicers. We believe there ought to ben penalty inflicted for failure or refusal to vote. To vote is one of the du liCs of an American citizen and there is no reason why it should not be wade compul. sory, the same as requiring service of citizens os jurors. There might.be some objection to such compulsion on the ground that the nomi nees of either party might not be acceptable to the citizen, but then he could cast his vote for one who was not a nominee. There is too great a disposition to shirk the responsi bility of voting, and we have noticed that those who cry out loudest against the incest. petency or corruption of officials are generally those who do not vote at all. As there is not likely to he a law inakillg voting compulsory, we wish we coul.l impress upon our ;Republi cans the ncci ssity for voting at every election We believe that if they attend to the duty they will soon have 'lie County government in their hands, and even If success is du laps!, the strffigor our minority the more respect we will command front the op. position and the fewer trill be the acts of in justice perpetrated against us. Theseare COll siderations sufficient to induce every Republi can to go to the polls. Not only trill the chances of success he made mare certain, but real estate owners will find that assessments will be made more equitably and a man will not be' discriminated against because he is a Republican. ANOTHER TERIMILECALAMITV "Allre broke out in Boston, at 7:30 Saturday evening, in a five-story granite building, eon ner of Sumner and King streets. At the time of the breaking out of the fire the wind was dead, but soon It arose to a gale and the flames spread in three directions, leaped from roof to roof, and block to block, soon involving the business portion in one of the greatest con flagrations the world has ever seen, The 'di rect loss is estimated at one hundred millions but what will be the loss to the country is he yond the power of anyone to estimate. It wit certainly fall more heavily upon the country than the Chicago disaster and may be to Bos• ton a calamity from which she will not recover during a tong term of years. A great portion of her trade and commerce may ho drawn awoy from her now, through the cupidity of her rivals, who never let an opportunity slip to gather wealth at the espense of others. How soon she will rebuild the burnt district will be an interesting question. Chicago, it is said, recovered from her disaster sooner than any other city in the world could have done Chicago occupies a portion in the west that no other city can attain; and no. other locality can supply :he trade Boa has made Chicago the wonder of the nineteenth century. Bos ton's position in Commerce is greaßy owing to her unequalled harbor and to the start she haahad over all her rivals In point of time. With present railroad facilities, the demands heretofore made upon her may be transferred to other quarters, and in that case there wit not be that influx of buyers Wi .811 stim ulated Chicago to use all possible dispatch to put herself in a condition to meet the demands oldie trade that was constantly urging her forward and which could not, or would not, be supplied wont other quarters. We shall await with anxiety and interest the devolopmenta in this a espect. The prob• hem to be solved is whether the recuperative energies of the old Mika of the east are equal to the young, vigorous, lion.hearted cities of, the West. In the meantime we hope the a untry will respond to calls for aid and that leverythlng that can be,doue, will be done to ald our unfortunate Eastern metropolis—a city whose historical recollections,and whose relics of our revolution, puts her foremost in the affections of the whole American people.

A grett deal was promised by rtepublies: orators, and Re publican newspapers, in the event of Grant's election. The people were promised that . while the election of Greeley Would create a feeling of uncertainty Which would retard the business operations of the country, the eke lion of Grant would have no tendency to cre• ale distrust, but would give a new impetus to business and send it along faster in the old grooves. We already sec this latter promise being fulfilled. Business to,daY is more active, and a firmer feeling prevails at the great money centres than previous to the October elections.

The. South, divided pretty equally between the opposing candidates, can no longer be re garded us united in the old hatreds against the North. The last elections show this and in them the South has done more than it ever did before to bring abdut « feeling of gond will and friendship. Greeley's election by a united South, aided by a few Northern States would have put back the work of reconciliation sev eral years. The North would have felt in censed because those lately in rebellion had defeated the will of the old Free States ; hut as some of the Southern States voted 1 - 0 r Grant, and in all the others the majority against him was greatly reduced, it shows that the old sec tional hatred is dying out and that sectional lines are being obliterated. It was not the ne- • gro yote• alone which accomplished this, for after the amnesty granted by the last Congre ss they hail not the power, excel) , in South ('urn him. It shows that the white people 01 the South are coming to understand in what di.

After this very forcible exhibition of confelehee upon their part they have aright to expi et that, although nothing will be done to put a premhim on treason, e'Verything will be done to increase their confidence in free governmeut anti their love for the old flag, Tuts Philadelphia Bulletin .throvt a some crumbs of comfort to the Tribune by figuring up a percentage . of gain for Qreeley in the last election..

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBERI3,IB72: The Ben for Major General of tile United Staten Army No More—A Sketch of the Lire of the hero of liettwsburtz-A Valiant (Soldier. A Pure-Mingled Ilan. In True Christian Gentleman. (Front the Pron or the M.) Major General George Gordon Meade, one of the most gallant as well as one of the most able soldiers in the Union army during the late war, died at half tiller 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, No. 1836 DeLan cey Place, in this city. Richard W. Meade seas a citizen of Flifiadel. plata, and was, while engaged in mercantile affairs in Spain, married to a lady of Catilonia, Of the two sons resulting from this marriage the second was George Gordon Mend. Short ly after his birth his parents removed to Phil adelphia, and in this country he received his education. Destined by his parents for the profession of arms, he was placed in the mili tary school then near this city, and in 1831 he was entered at the West Point Academy, from which he graduated with honor in 1835, and was commissioned second lieutenant in the 30 Regiment of Artillery. In this capacity. he fought in the Florida Seminole war, but iu 1830 his health compelled hint to resign from the army, and he adopted the profession of eividenglncerlng. On the breaking out of the Mexicac war he tendered his services to the Government, the was, on 1110 19th of May, 1842, commissioned second lieutenant of to. pographical engineers. During the Mexican campuign lie served tar it time on the sluff of General Taylor, and later on the staff tat Gene al t• colt. For his gallant conduct at Palo Alto and Monterey he wits mentioned in gene. rat orders, received a brevet of first lieutenant, and on his return to Philade Iphia was present with a sword by lain townsmen in proof of their appreciation of his rifler. In the inter. rail het \Veen the close of the Mexican war and the breaking out of the rebellion lie was sue. cessively protnotid to, in August, 1851, toll first lieutenant, and in May, 1850, to captain, and during this time lie was principally en gaged in the survey of the northern lulus. When the call to arms wassounded 'II 1861, Captain Meade was ordered East, and upon the organization of the Pennsylvania Reserve Coma, lie was made—August 31—brigadier general of volunteers anal assigned to the com mand of the 3d Brigade, of tvhich General McCall was division general.

Blame him who will rot those thlogs wherein he failed, all praise is to Lim due for that great deed in which he was s eta itently successful. After Lee It id r.issed the Potomac, Wade hoped to bring him to battle before he could pass the mountains, but at Manassas Gap, where an excellent opportunity for a light occurred, his plans were frustrated by the dilatory movements of a corps commander, who held the advance. For some time after this the two armies lay In a' slate of Mac. tivity near the Ilapitian, from the necessity of heavy detachments being drawn pIT to other points. Until Grant became command er-in.thief, no actions of •ImPortancc were fought, hut under his orders Meade led the Army of the Potomac through the Inthiee of the Wilderness, Spoltsylvania, Cold harbor and the region round about Petersburg and Richmond, his valor and good generalship being so great that Grant, In .a letter urging his confirmation as major general of the reg ular army, said : "I defy any man In name a cpmtumaler who would do more than Meade hub dope tuna same chances." With this ,strong cifilorcement popgren confirmed 1.1 appointment requested, the commission being dated August 18, 1884. With the falloff fich• mond, Meade's active services ended, and ho rptarned fora brief period to his home in this pity. Ale was however shortly afterwards ap polntotl to the command of the military vision of the Atlantic, with headquarters at Philadelphia. This petition, with the ex ception of a few months passed in co.ntnand of the military district of Georgia,' Alabama and Florida, he has since held, his administration of the duties of the post having been marked With judgement and ability. The personal appearance of Donau I Meade has been thus. well described by an English author, who was introduced to him shortly after the battle of GettysbMg : • " He Is a very remarkable looking Man— tall, spare, of a commanding figure and pre•' since, his mantiers easy and pliant, but hay ing much dignity ; head partially bald, s mai and •compact, but forhead high ; nose like that of the late Duke of Wellington ; eyes serious and ead In expression and rather sunken. In a word, decidedly distinguished and patrican in uppearitticea gentlemen." In 1840 General Meade was married to a daughter of the Hon. John Sergeant of this city. By thin lady he had six children. On Thursday last General Meade was at tacked with pains in the chest, and on medi cal advice being summoned his ailment was pronounced the pnuemonia of the left lung, o disease which is very apt to prove fatal furlong people who have passed the meridian of life. On Monday alarming symptoms manifested themselves, and front that time, with the ex ception of a slight rally on Toes lay evening, he grew constantly wealier until last evening when he expired. Up to the last he was con scions, although a slight dullnes canto over hint, caused by his extreme Ny es. , l. As a soldi,r General trade was a success; uc achieved soceess where all shire hint had failed ; lie retained a continued which from unreadiness, or lack of skill and foresight, all of its predecessors anti been compelled to re sign, and without extraordinary brilliancy or genius, by his soldierlike bearing and loe nuttily and irreproachable conduct, hue. won the esteem and regard of all in hia command, as well os that of all who commanded hint. Such arc the claims which George Gordon Meade, the lust commander of the Army 01 the Potomac, established for , himself in the breasts of his fellow-countrymen. May the the memory, of these claims \ never fade, and may his good and glorious life stand for all time as an exemplar to be admired and copied, for it has truly been that of a valorous soldier and a gallant Christian gentleman.

The majority of the Equiblican electors received 5,344 voter', which. deducted from 5,623 leaves the coned Greeley 279. In the Second Ward a promi nent Liberal would no vote Edgar Cowan, and in the same Ward a prominent Democrat said he would rattier spend his next Me in the place of departed spirits thra vote for Lainh B.

Republicans of Lehigh county are urged not to give up their organization, but although it will be impossible to carry on an active cam paign during the whole of the next year, and even unnecessary, it will be to their interest to imitate the policy pursued by the old Detn. ocratic party after it had obtained a victory. That policy enabled the . Democracy oqf this county to triumph In every campaign arthg, twelve years, as tar as the election of ctrunti' officers was concerned,and that policy adhered to by the. Republicans will enable them to reap the benefits of good government In our county affairs. Stand by the party under all circum stances and a county triumph will he assured 'next year. LOCAL OPTION, which will be voted upon in this city and county separately, next March, is already attracting considerable attention and will form an interesting topic for discussion dining the long winter evenings. The Tent• perance men, undoubtedly, will be active in their endeavors to secure u vote against license, and will spare no effort to put every man iu possession of data to' prove that the sale of II gugr is not only demoralizing, but an injury in a business point of View, The liquor mon will as certainly do whatever they can to per. pctuatc a business In which a large amount of capital is Invested and which they contend they have a moral right to pursue. Sonic of them say they would not complain of injustice if the majority of the people of the whole Utaite voted at the same ,Lifilo whether the Nuns lilac should be brought to an cud throughout ,gennsylvania, but they do deny tho jitstice of &slog saloons in Allentown and of allowing the sale of liquor outside the city limits, whets but a few minutes' walk would take a person into a hoer saloon. It would be a curious state M . affairs If the city should vote against license, and the couuty for license. In that event the opposite shore of the Little Lehigh would teem with beer saloons and a lute of stages to the Salisbury retreats would be a weli 7 patronized institution. The issue will be un• doubtedly hotly contested and will result In a feeling of considerable bitterness. Tom World stye that if all the Democrats had voted for Horace Greeley he would have_ been elected President. Such statements are probably excusable in a partizan journal which is vainly endeavoring to preventita party from being scattered to the four winds et heaven, but as the World's arithmetic is proverbial for its false rules and inaccuracies, it can scarcely hope to have much i ffect. It told its readers positively that Greeley was a very strong can didate, that Democrats would vote for him In a body and the number of Republicans who would do the same thing was Entirely too large for an ordinary man's comprehension. Now. It confesses that it misrepresented the truth and that very hew Democrats voted for Gree ley. But suppose the Democracy had been united on Greeley, would that have changed the result ? It would not have taken any. more Republicans over to their enemy, be cause everybody, except a few Republicans, believed that nearly every Democrat in the State would vote for Buckalew and they were confident the Democrats could elect him. No complaint was heard against Buckalow in the Democratic ranks, yet it is a stubborn fact that he was defeated by a heavy majority, and after that defeat Grant stock took a heavy rise throughout the Union. Pennsylvania always did decide the Presidential election, and this year her heavy major!' y completely upset the expectations of Liberals, even In the Southern States. There is no use crying over spilled milk. The reason Greeley was defeated is be. cause Grant had more votes than he had, and the result would hare been the same no mat te: who might liars been nominated by Um opposition. They console themselves by saying that if they had nominated a straight.out ticket at Baltimore, they might have crept in between the two wings of the Republican party. They forget that in that case Greeley would not have remained a candidate, and if he had, few Republicans woold have helpedroClect a Dem ocratic President by coating their ballots for Greeley. But suppose lie bad stayed in the field, while the Democrats had a candidate ut their Own : they could not, Its that event, have expected the Liberals to vote for Buckal cw, and sinless they could have carried Pennsyl vaults tar Governor the result in November would not have been altered. With the most popular Presidential candidate, even a second Jackson, they could not have polled more than 330,000 to 335,000 votes fur Buckalew, which would have given !tannin ft from 20,000 to 25,000 majority, and the ritsult, State al d National, would hove been the same disastrous tkfeat to lie Democracy that they have expe rienced with Greeley. ANDREW JouNsoN played traitor to the Re• publican party In 1800 and he has never been able to get elected to any office since. The Republicans don't' want him and the Demo crats won't have him. Blake has just stepped info Andy's shoes, and next in order will be Lyinuu Trumbull, whose term as United States Senator expires next March. Especial efforts wero made to secure the Illinois Legislature, so that he could be returned, but they failed, and as Lyman was one of the prime movers in the insane attempt to break up the Republican party, he now occupies too contemptible a posl- Lion In the estimation of his constituents to ex pect ever again to obtain any position of honor at their hands. . . _ Zbeciat Notices.
