The Contested Election Case.
In another column we publish the report
of the Committee in the Robison-Shngart
contested election case, as mnde tothe Sen
ate on Friday, April 3d. The report beiDg
in favor of the contestant, the Speaker, at
12 o'clock, administered the oath to John
K. Robison, who took his scat aa Senator
from the Twentjfirst district.
In referring to the evidence, as well as to
the labors performed by the Committee and
counsel engaged in the investigation of this
case, the Harrisbnrg State Guard says:
" This was not only the longest, but in many
respects the most remarkable contested elec
tion case ever tried in the Legislature. The
petition was presented to the .Senate on the
first day of . the session, and on the 'Jth day
of January the Committee ' was drawn.
.From that time until yesterday, the Com
mittee was engaged laboriously in the inves
tigation, having held iroui two to three ses
sions daily, during which they took the
testimony of witnesses.1?, re-counted ballot
boxes, heard the arguments of counsel, ex
amined records, papers, &c The evidence
of three hundred and eighty witnesses, with
the necessary minutes of the . Committee,
will constitute a printed volume as large as
the Journal of the Senate, and will afford
some, proximate idea of the vast labors per
formed by the Committee. The members
deserve great credit for their persevering
industry.
The most material and important ground
of contest was the fraud perpetrated at
Philipsbarg, in Centre county, by the iin-
f ortation of foreigners. A large number of
rish laborers, who were working on a rail
road in the adjoining county, were brought
. over the line about ten days before the elec
tion, and quartered in Philipsburg, in the
hotels, where they were kept until the fraud
was consummated, when they returned to
their work in the other county. They were
unnaturalized foreigners, and were led up
to the polls on the day of the election, like
bo many sheep to the shambles. Forged
nanera were rjrocured in Luzerne county
where, it was proved, they were lyingfebout
Wise, bearinir the seal ot the court, and
mened bv M. I. Philbin, prothonotary.
Thwwere sent ud by "a lawyer" from Phil-
Rdfilnhia,. nut in the hands of one Mark
T.eddv. a "boss" on the railroad, and after
being soaked in coffee to give thm the ap
nearanee of nee. they were distributed to
the men to produce at the polls as the evi
dence of their right to vote. The poor
Innes were led ud. one after another, by
the Irish "boss," (having also been furnish
ed with tickets specially prepared for the
purpose by ono Sheriff Perks,) and- were
winiifl to neriure themselves by swearing to
rhp?r naoera and residence, in order to vote
the Democratie ticket. A more gross and
infamous fraud was never perpetrated in the
Commonwealth. ...
As soon as it was known that the election
wouid be contested, the authors and perpe
traiton of this iniquity attempted to bribe
the mnt important witness to leave the btate,
employing for this purpose a Catholic priest
named Tracy, who was produced on the
stand and testified that after corresponding
with the Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee.be paid the witness $500
to leave the State and remain absent until
the investigation was over. Another witness
named Jones, after he was subpoenaed by
the Sergeant-at-Arms, was bidden away in
a stable end his food carried to him daily
trout the hotel where a majority of the Irish
men had been quartered. Still another wit
ness, after he was actually on his Way, was
slipped out of the car, from the very pres
ence of the officer.by one of the contractors,
who had under his control, the wretched in
struments of the fraud. Our readers will
remember that another witness, after he tes
tified before the committee, was murdered
in cold blood while on his return home.
Fraud, perjury, bribery and murder-all le-
g'tinjate consequences of the tactics of the
emocratic State Central Committee. What
a fearful responsibility rests upon the shoul
dara of the man or men who made the con
tract for BOUgh votes to carry the Twenty
first Senatorial District !
Before, and during, and after the trial,
every means were resorted to by the Democ
racy to prevent the truth being brought to
light. When all other efforts failed they
brought enormous sums of money here and
attempted to tamper with the committee.
The tongue of rumor was busy with the
names of Republican members of the com
mittee. Professional borers of the Demo
cratic stamp, who have infested and disgiac
ed the capital for years, were, insidiously
whispering that in mey would secure the sit
ting member in his seat in the face of all the
evidence of crime, fraud and iniquity. But
they counted without their host, and the re
sult fully vindicates the members of the
committee, showing that they fairly, faith
fully and conscientiously discharged their
whole duty.
Our fr'mnds f.hrmiirhout the State are in
debted for the result of this contest, and the
development of this stupendous fraud, to
the untiring zeal, energy, ana anuuy ot me
srl fnr the contestant. Messrs. John
Wna. nf Rcdford county, and H. Bucher
f!Wrfil(l countv. Counsel in
no election case on record in the archives of
Pennsylvania displayed superior ability than
that exhibited bv these legal gentlemen.
Thevmade Drecedents in thRcaee which are
destined to be of great force in future simi
lar actions before a legislative committee,
and what thev did in vindication of Repub
lican principles, in sustaining the character
of Republican courage, and in enforcing the
power of law and justice, entitle them to the
gratitude of the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia.
Connerhead Forgeries
The following paragraph was published.
several week since, in the Clearfield Re
publican, and by the " Copperhead rapers
apnerallv. as a senuine extract from one of
Mr. Webster's speeches :
"Prophecy Fulfilled. If the infer
nal fanAtira rwl A hnlitionists ever get pow
ppin thpir hands. thev will override the Con
stitution, set the Supreme Court at defi
nnrov change and make laws to suit them
selves, lav violent hands on those who dif
fer with them in their opinions or dare
question their infallibility, and finally bank-
runt the countrv. and deluge it witu oioou.
Daniel Webster, March, 7.-185D.
In referring to the above, the editor of the
Oreensbnrtr Herald, an entirely reliable
and responsible man, says :
W have taken the pains to read that
speech,as we find it' authentically published
in the f Congressional Globe for the session.
and we now, and here positively asserts that
no such paragraph, as is quoted above, oc
curs in it anywhere; nor is mere anqumiy
similar to it, eitlw.r in icords or sentiment,
to oe tounain u,jromu ueguinmyiu t
md. Wfi therefore pronounce it a bold,
barefaced, wilful and deliberate forgery,and
call upon those Copperhead editors, who
have either manufactured or uttered it, to
retract the lie. which is at once a foul slan
der unon the fair fame of that man chose
natnotic meinorv thev nretena to lcrere.
r . , . , . U.

This nails a very unmanly forgery to the
counter a forirerv which discraces tne
. . . .
memory of the patriotic dead to mislead the
judgment of the patriotic living.
C OPPERTtE ai Tactics. The Copperhead
, . . , l
papc-s are very uneasy aoout me personal
habits of Gen. Grant, now that he is certain
to be the Republican candidate for Presi
dent. The story that he gets drunk having
been exploded by the inmate Iriends of
Grant, they have started a new one,to wit,
that the General is never to be seen within
the walls of a Christian church on the Sab
bath. The Washington correspondent of
the Newark, N. J. Advertiser, says : "This
is devoid of truth as most of the other sto
ries put in prinf with the intent to injure
him with the better portion of the people,
the General being a pew-holder in Dr.
Southerland's church (Presbyterian), and to
our personal knowledge a regular attendant,
with his family.upon fche Sunday services."
Our friends will remember that this is no
new device of the Cops. ' They published
similar slanders against Mr. Lincoln. But
what else can they do ? If they are depriv
ed of the privilege of lying what other capi
tal have they, since the nigger is pretty
nearly played out ?
Rhode Island O. K. The election in
Rhode Island on April 1st was spirited, and
gallantly fought, and resulted in an increas
ed majority for the republican candidate for
Governor.Burnside. The Senate and House,
stand also as largely Republican as hereto
fore. The Cops put forth their full strength
in little Rhody in the hope of influencing
the election in Connecticut on Monday, A
pril 6th, with the news of "great increase,"
"more reaction," etc. ; but the result has
been averse to their calculations, and hence
their discomfiture is great. The canvass in
Rhode Island, as in New Hampshire, was
fought upon purely National issues, and
therefore the result may be taken as an in
dorsement of the action of Congress in ref
erence to reconstruction in the Southern
States, and the impeachment of President
Johnson. "Things are working."
Query? Why were not the witnesses
who were called to impeach, the character
of O'Mara for truth, also called to impeach
the veracity of Father Tracy, after the lat
ter had testified to the truth of O'Mara's
statements? Let a discriminating public
judge as to who are most worthy of belief
O'Mara and Father Tracy, or the witnesses
who testified against O'Mara? .

effort prove successful.

Eeport in the Contested Election Case.
Mr Landon, from the committee selected
to try the contested election case oi noDi
son vs. Shugart, made the following report,
viz: v .
Tn the matter of the contested election in
the Twenty-first Senatorial district, the se
lect committee present the following report:
The Twenty-first Senatorial district is
composed of the counties ot Ulair, Hunt
ingdon, Centre. Mifflin, Juniata and .ferry.
The last election returns gave oaniuei i.
Shugart, the Democratic candidate. 14,124
votes, and John K. Robisou, the Republi
can candidate, 14,102 votes, the first men
tioned, therefore, having twenty-two Z)
majority, clain.ed and was accorded a seat

the said Robison,upon the ground ot traud

lection, claiming that if all illegal and unau
thorized votes be excluded iroui tne count,
that he and not the sitting member would
be clearly and positively entitled to the
Your committee was drawn on the 9th
day of January, 1868. lhey met on the
isame day and organized, II. B. Swoopeand
John Cessna appearing as counsel for the
contestant and Hon. John W. Maynard,
Wm. II. Miller and John H. Orvis, ri,sq.,
for the sitting member. The committee
has met daily, as required by law, and dur
ing most of the time have held two meet
ings per day. One hundred and" seventy
six (176) witnesses were called and heard on
the part of the petitioner and contestant,
during a' period of three weeks, two hun
dred and four witnesses ou the part of the
respondent, during a period of six weeks,
making the total number of witnesses ex
amined three hundred and eighty (3S0).
The business sessions of the committee
were all held at the capitol ; except one,
when a meeting was held in Wilksbarre,
Luzerne county, for the examination of the
naturalization records of that county, for
the purpose of ferreting out certain alleged
naturalization frauds claimed to have origi
nated in that locality.
A minute analysis of the vast amount of
evidence taken would be tedious and un
necessary in this report. The committee
presents herein the prominent and deter
mining facts of the case without elaborating
details, only adding in their own behalf that
they have performed the duty assigned
them with nil possible industry and care,
and present this conclusion of their protrac
ted labors tree from partisan bias upon their
candor and sworn obligation. ,
Th nnnnsel for the respondent have ear-
nAKtlif contended that the whole vote of
Taylor township, in the county of Centre,
should be thrown out, for the reason, a
they allege. that it was not held at the place
fixed by !aw. In this township, the contest
ant had eighteen majority. It seems that
by an act of Assembly passed in 184S, it
wasprovided that tbe election in Taylor
township, in the county of Centre; should
be held at the. school house near Hannah
Furnace. In August, 1856, a petition of
the citizens of the township was presented
to the eourt of quarter sessions of the coun-
t"-. setting torth. that tne scnooinouse near
llmrah 1 iirnnp.e. where tne election -was
Ha held, had been re-
moved, and praying the court to order the
election to be held at another place, or u
authorize an election to be held in the town:
chin frir the nnrnose of fixing a plaCC at
which to hold the general election. On the
back of this petition the court endorsed an
Fridav.the 16th of September,
as the day for holding an election in tbe
township, for the purpose of determining
where the creneral election should he neid.
This order was made on the 25th of August,
l ssfi. A naner Vas produced by the pro-
fhnnotnrv which he states he found. in his
office, hut which is not marted nieu, pur-
j .... i i i
porting to be the return or tne eiepnon so
authorized by the court. This paper shows
for the house of William Adams, iourteen
. . i 1
votes ; for the Henderson school house.hve
v6tes, and for the Hannah school house,
three voted. No action seems ever to have
been taken upon it by the court. No order
or decree was ever made fixing the house of
William Adams as the place ot holding the
election. The parol proof in this case show
ed that the election was held lor awhile at
the house of William Adams ; that it- was
transferred in some manner from there to a
waconmaker shop on land ot lhomas Mer
ryman, about the year 1860, that in the fall
of ISfifi the waeonmaker shop was torn down,
and Thomas Merryman forbid the officers
from holding any more elections on his prem
ises ; that they went to the nearest school
house (the Henderson school house,oue and
a half miles distant from Merryman's),
where they held the spring election in 1867,
and also the fall election, which we are ask
ed to decide invalid. Without a further
statement ot facts, the committee excludes
this poll from the election returns, which
deducts eighteen votes from the returned
vote for John K. Robison.
The respondent claims to have 'proved
sixtv-eteht illegal scattering votes for the
contestant. comprising minors, non-residents
and non tax-payers. This being the whole
number claimed, the committee allows the
full number and deducts the same from the
vote of John K. Robison.
Both parties have proved a large number
of deserter votes. The defense cLims that
this whole question should be ignored.
Without statin? the areument in tne case
and realizing the difficulties gathering about
the subject, the committee accede to the
'"mm f m.
claim. and leave this class or voters wnere
the general election returns have placed
them, without expressing any opinion upon
the legal questions involved in the matter,
The returns from Carbon township, Hunt
ingdon county, give the sitting member sixty-five
majority. This the committee exclude
irom the count, lor the following reasons
1. Because the election was improperly
held. It was in a hotel ; there was a crowd
around the table upon which the ballots
were being deposited, and a great deal of
disorder while the tickets were being conn
ted. At one time during the day the whole
board, except one inspector, was absent, and
he continued taking votes,receiving, among
otiers, the vote ot one vv Uuam iflum, an
unnaturalized foreigner.
2. Becaifse there was no certificate of the
oaths of the officers filed in the pyothonota:
rv's office. a3 reauired by law.
3. Because when the ballot box was open
ed in the presence of the committee, it was
tound to contain newspapers,oiu election re
turns, pamphlet laws, &c, but no tickets
and no list of taxables. . .
4. Because a certified copy of the list of
taxables from the commissioner's office
showed that forty-one names on the list of
voters were not on the assessment, and in
the absence of the list of taxables from the
ballot-box, it was impossible to ascertain
how or why these persons were permitted
to vote. . .
The committee are of the opinion that
the irregularities surrounding this election
are of so gross and flagrant a kind as to ren
der it impossible to ascertain what was the
true expression of the popular will.
One of the material allegations of the pe
titioners was, that a gross fraud had been
perpetrated in the borough of Philipsburg
and in Rush township, in " the county of
Centre. In support of this charge, the fol
lowing facts and circumstances were relied
on: That about twelve days previous to
the election Irish rail-road hands, to the
number of eighty and upwards, were sent
from the unfinished work in Clearfield coun
ty, to Philipsburg and Rush township, in
Centre county, ostensibly for tbe purpose of
completing about forty rods of road on the
Centre county side of the line ; , that these
men, instead of being boarded at the shan
ties, erected for that purpose, in proximity
to the- work on the Clearfield side of the
ine. were auartered at the hotels in Phil
ipsburg and Rush township : that they were
llegally assessed belore they came into ine
district, from lists furnished the assessors
by one Mark Leddy,a boss on the rail road;
that it was expressly , said by one James
Collins, one of the contractors, and Richard
O Gannon, his foreman, when the men
were ordered to Philipsburg, that they were
sent there to vete and carry the Democratic
ticket: that they did vote, having been
brought up to the polls by Mark Leddy and
one oheritt rerts, wno iurnisiiea tne spe
cial tickets that had been printed and pre
pared for the purpose ; that thirty-seven of
these tickets were found in the rhiupshurg
box, and twenty-seven in the box of Rush
townshin : that thev voted on forced natur
alization papers, purporting to be issued by
the court of common pleas ot ljuzerne coun
tv : that these papers were shown to be for
ced bv an examination of the records of the
court, made by the committee, and clear
proof that similar papers, bearing the seal
of the same court, and purporting to be
sisned bv M. J. Philbin. the prothonotory,
were strewn all over Ltuzerne county, to DC
obtained for the asking; and that immedi
ately after thus havinir voted, these men re
turned to Clearfield county.all of them hav
ing left the hotels in rhilipsburg and i.tush
township, within tour days alter the elec
tion. All these facts, with many corobora-
ting circumstances, were clearly established,
to the satisfaction of the committee, by ev-"
dence too voluminous to be recited in this
respect. . . . , ,
It was shown by the inspector and ciert
of the election that at leant thirty-three of
these fraudulent votes were received and in
cluded in the return in the borough of Phil-
psburg. The committee are fully satisfied
that these thirty-three votes should be de
ducted : from the number returned fort.be
sitting member.
In Rush township, the number of these
fraudulent votes actually received and count
ed could not be ascertained from the evi
dence. For this and other reasons, the con
testant claims that the whole vote ot ltusn
townshin should be thrown out, and exclu
ded from the return. He bases his claim on
the following facts : -
1. Tbat the board which was entirely ot
one party, was not legally constituted, the
the only officer elected by the people being
the judge; both the inspectors being de
serters, and having been appointed improp
erly by the judge, out of the same political
party, and not m accordance with the pro
visions of the law regulating elections.
2 I hat the election was improperly con-
ducted,the house being open all day, the col
lector sitting at the table with the ballot
box upon it, receiving taxes with a crowd
around him, and a large number of persons
in . the room when the votes were being
counted off.
3. That no list of taxables was found in
the ballot-box, and no record was kept or
produced to show how many persons voted.
4. That a large nnmber of votes was re
ceived from persons with forged naturaliza
tion papers, only one of whonv was sworn,
and when they were challenged the challen
ges were disregarded ; that it was impossible,
under the circumstances, to ascertain what
was the true expression of tho popular will.
The committee are unable to determine how
manv illegal votes were received and count
ed in this township, the respondent having
failed to call belore them either the inspec
tors or clerks of the election, and no record
having been lound in the ballot-box, as re
ouired by law. When it had been shown on
the part of the contestant, that fraudulent
votes had been received.that the officers ab
solutely refused to discharge their sworn du
ty, and admitted every vote offered in spite
of remonstrances and challenges, the mteg
ritv of the return was at once destroyed.
The committee is constfained, therefore,
to exclude from the count the whole vote of
Rush township, which gave fifty-one major
ity for the sitting member.

put in a condensed recapitulation, stands
thus : , .
