Hoffman's majority in New York City is
20,OiK) less than it was in 18GS, notwith
standing that thousands of illegal votes
were cast for him by vepeaters. This is an

York, and of the whole country. Frauds
in elections will soon be at a discount, we
hope.
Democracy and deviltry go hand in hand.
On last Tuesday, a crowd of roughs destroy

The Quebec Independent wants Canada
to protect herself against the United States
by building fortifications aluug the entire
border. The success of France in the for

as well as secure permanent protection by
joining the United State.
The election of Henry WaMron. in the
First Congressional district of Michigan,
is a triumph of Protection over Free Trade.
The canvas was conducted on this issue,
and a bold stand and an open boast were
made by the so-called reformers. The re
sult is sadly acuinst the general opiuion that
free trade reigns supreme in the Great
West.
The franking privilege in to be ventilated
again at the next session of Congress. The
postmaster general is preparing evidence to
show what a waste of transportation and

bers of the government have of sending
their letters, soiled linen, books and bulkier
parcels free of postage. It would appear
that they use the mails a. if they were hu
manitarian express companies.
The Philadelphia Fres fays : Right and
left, wherever Demoeartic gains are report
ed, comes the old stoiy of riolc-uee and
fraud and wrong. In New Jersey, Dela
ware and Maryland, the lines of ignorance
have been held only by the aid of defiant
crime, and every transient an 1 local success
of the Democratic party has been gained at
the expense of civil liberty. How fortunate
that the whole couutry is spared bueh a
fate.
The "heathen Chinee" accoiding to the
census returns of San Francisco, have at
least one blessing attached to the heathen
ism which would be wise fur all nations to
copy. There are in that city 11,817 Chi
tiese and all ean read and write. Thare are
only 9 Americans who can neither real nor
write, while there are 6.7S5 of the Irish
population in the snme blissful state of in
telligence a good material out of which to
turke Democratic voters.
We see it etated that Judge Agncw voted
ith the Democratic Judgas for tha re p
; iiuinent of James R Snowden, as Pro
triunotary for the Eastern district of IVnn
. yvauia a man whom he had publicly de
nounced for criminally issuing fraudulent
naturalization papers in the interest of the
J'omocratic party. If this be true, it is an
i:naccountab!e procedure, and should receive
the hearty condemnation of every Republi
can in the State. The party vhie'i elected
Judge Agnew expects better thing at his
bauds, than that he should vote for a man
who had done so much to fraudulently de
feats its candidates. Such ingratituda is
unworthy a Judge of the Supreme Court,
and should be sufficient justification to ask
Lis resignation.
The friends of protection to American
iudustry have reason for roj.icing over the
lesult of the election in the several States,
last week. According to the sum iiia n,
it is evident the great expectations of Le
free traders have come to naught. In New
Jersey we hare gained one Congressman,
and in Minnesota one. In the Firt dis
trict of Michigan, where a most determined
free trade opposition yras made to the regu
lar Republican nominee, we have elected
him by an increased majority. Donnelly,

How well President Grant has redeemed
his promises to keep down the expenditures
and collect the revenue of the nation we
have often taken occasion to show"; but the
fact may usefully be kept before the people.
Briefly, then, the comparison, or rather the
contrast, between the tr o last fiscal years
stands as follows: Increased receipts, $48,
2G3.321 ; drecreased expen Jitures.$27, 150,
080; total, $75,422,402. Decreased receipts
$4,345,389 ; increased expenditures,, 342,
992 ; total, $6,6GS,382, being a clear gain
by larger collections and reduced expendi
tures of $03,734,020.
These are the bare facts, but in order to
give a clearer view, to such persons as avc
not in the habit of thinking of money by
millions of dollars, of the great saving that
has been made to the Treasury of the Uni
ted States in tLe 1 ist fiscal year over the ore
precedicg it, Gen. Spinner makes the state
ment that after deducting tifty-two Sundays
and four legal holidays from the 3G5 days
leaving 309 executive days in the year a
saving of $f8,734,O20 was made ; that the
average saving on the working days of the
fiscal year, that closed with June 30, 1S70,
over those of the yetir preceding, was over
$224,240 per day, being otct $9,263 per
hour, over $154 per minute, being more
than equal to the extra dropping of $2 50
into tho coffers of the Treasury in every
second of the time. These facts sufficient
ly explain how the Administration, by thor
ough action and an economical course, was
entitled to purchase so large an amount of
the stocks of the United Stac3 for the
sinking fund.
We ak Republicans, we a-.k all "candid
citizens of whatever rioiilieal creed, did
any government in the worli ever make so
satisfactory an exeibit of good work done in
the way of reform and economy? Is net
the administration worthy of a renewed ex
pression of your conSdenee and support?
Such an expression can only be practically
made by voting the Republican ticket.
Constitutional Convention.
A draft of an act to provide for a Conven
tion to revise the Constitution of this State
is published in some of the papers. It
proposes to niukit the Convention consist of
135 members 32 to be eleoto-J as "mem
bers at large of convention," each voter to
deposit a ticket coataining oniy 16 names,
an. I the 32 persons having the highest num
ber of votes to be declared elected, thus
providing for a minority representation in
said convention. The balance of the State
is divided into districts, electing 103 persons
as "District members of convention," the
districts being so formed that the minority
will also elect a fair proportion of the mem
bers. The counties of Cie.iHr:!,!, Clarion,
Cameron, Forest and Elk, (the 231 St:r;:ito
rial district), to eleet two members, each
voter to east a ballot tor one person. The
eleetion to be held ond the first Tuesday in
June next, and the convention to meet on
the first Tuesday of September following ;
provided, however, that each elector is priv
ileged to cast a ballot "for" or "against"
the holding of such convention, and if a
majority of the votes cast are "for" a con
vention, the said convention shall be hold
en, but if a majority be "against" it, then
all proceedings under this act to be uull and
void.
It is evident to every reflecting srind
tbat a convention to revise our State
Constitution is necessary, that necessity,
in one instance at least, growing out of an
amendment to the Constitution of the Un
ited States made r.eccs.sary by the late re
bellion in the South. The proposed act
above referred to ij, perhaps, as fair a one
as could bs devised, and is worthy the care
ful consideration of the people throughout
the State, and of the members of the Leg
islature when prss';nteJ for thoir coniiicra
tiou aud adontion.
The State Elections.
Elections were held, last week, in Arkan
sas, Louisiana, Alabama, Delaware, Flori
da, Illinois, K-nas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Ma.aehusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis
souri, New York, Now Jersey, Nevada,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia aud
Wisconsin. The general result in these
States, for numbers of Congress, foots up
HI Rupublicrns to 52 Damocrats.
Already 222 members of the Forty second
Congress have been elected, of whieh the
Republicans have 1 1!) and the Democrats
82 rcpublic.iu majority CS.
The States yet to vote will elect 21 mem
bers, which will rot, however, materially
change the result.
Although the Republicans have lost their
two-thirds vote in Congress, yet thev have
a c'e&r working majority,
for all practical
pui poses.
The Republicans carried New Jersey by a
handsome majority, mr.de large gains in
New York, Kentucky, Maryland, and seve
ral other Stat2S, whtoh h very encouraging
for the supremacy of the Republican party
for a number of years to come. In view of
these facts, we see no good reason for the
proiifi? display of poultry in the Democratic
papers. But, poor fellows ! they have had
so little ehatiee to air their chick'tn of late
years, that it must be quite a relief to them
to crow over a erumt,aiid wc have no dispo
sition to deny them the opportunity. So ;
crow ou. Ventilate your moth eaten feath
ers, as this is likely the only chance you
will have of doing so, for another decade at
least.
The Daily Telegraph. As the time
approaches for the assembling of Congress
and the Legislature, people begin to in
quire for a good aud reliable paper, that
will give full and accurate reports of the
proceedings of these public bodies. To

character referred to, we most cheerfully

Another Treason in the Legislature Hatch
ing. The Hariisburg Telegraph, of November
8th, makes the lollowisg expose of a plot
to defeat the Republicans in the election of
Legislative office: s, at the coming session:
'Republicans of Pennsylvania! the party
which through your great exertion lias just
been saved from defeat, is again threatened
with a greater dauger than it has yet met,
through another treason far surpassing in
wickedness anything heretofore plotted
against its life ! Our warning of a year ago
passed unheeded, because no one cou'd be
brought to believe that such an enormity as
we then denounced couid be successfully en
acted. Yet tlie plot was carried out in ail
its details. Shameful as that viiiiany was,
and dangerous as were its consequences, it
was virtu, us in comparison with the conspi
racy now being hatched, and it was harmless
in comparison with the destruction which
now awaits our party, and will surely over
whelm it, if the Press and tbe People do
not come at once to the rescue !
"To recover control of the Treasury of
the State which had been torn from their
grasp for a year the only year in a dozen
in which they had not fattcued on illegal use
of the money of the people a corrupt gang
having its head in Ilarrisburg and its agents
all over the State, bought up enough in am
bers of the Legislature to join the Copper
heads and defeat the nominee of the Re
publican party. Last winter this gang eave
the Democracy everything its leadersde
manded as the price of Democratic assist
ance to break our power down in the Legis
lature ; and the evil consequences of that
corrupt bargain and sale are shown in a de
creased majority in both Houses now.
"This reduced majority now makes a rep
etition of the treason easier, and it is al
ready being arranged ! The price the Dem
ocratic leaders now demand for voting for
a creature, of this gang of plunderers, in the
upjiortioiiment of the State, for the next ten
years, in the interest of the Democratic
party ! W. W. IRWIN, NOW STATE TREAS
urer, openly announces that he has
the tlkdoks of eleven republican
members of the leg isletll'.e yvii.mnu to
consumate this crime ii-' the democrats
will j:in them in defeating whoever
the Republicans shall nominate for
State Treasurer, and give the Treas
ury VULTURES ANOTHER YEAR TO PREY ON
the people! A prominent Democrat has
admit led the existence of this plot to the
writer of this warning ; he has discussed ir.
with us ; be approves it; and announced
that he would support, applaud and defend
the Democrats who agreed to stand by the
bargain ! Is it necessary to argue coneern
ing the dangers which surround our organi
zation? Can any one doubt its extent cr
its nearness ?
.''We realize the crisis, and we have again
given warning ! Apathy or incredulity will
render the treason easy and invite its au
thors to consun ate it. But aD indignant
protest by the press, and the constituents
ot the men who propose to betray their party
and that alone will save us. Our share
o! this duty shall be performed : but all
must come to the rescue, and act now."
The Pittsburg Dixputch, iu view of the
above expose of the possible bolt of a few
dUoriauizimj munbers from the regular
Republican nominees, remarks:
"The objection to pcr-or,s deserting the
caucus nominations is, that it tends to break
up party organization. This should, by all
means, be avoided. Tbe Republican party
has too great a wo; k in this State ia the im
mediate future to fritter away its strength
of organization at. the bidding of the Dem
ocratic party. We trust that staunch Re
publicans in various parts of the State will
impress very strongly upon tbe minds of
ihe members, that to support a bolt, in
this exigency, will seal their political death.
The re-districting of the State, and various
important measures demand party unitv.
Therefore a break should not be tolerated
at any point. Let every person who is a
competitor for office go before tbe caucus
and put forth every possible effort there,
and then abide the re.-ult. Thia, and this
alone, is fair and honorable."
We hope the suggestions of tbe Dispatch
will be earnestly heeded aud aetol upon by
ti e Republicans in every part of the State.
The latest news from the city of Mex:co
tclU a very sad tale of the Sate of affairs in
that country. To a Id to the difficulties of
th situation Presideut Juarez was taken
suddenly ill, and fears were entertained that
if he died a general revolution would be the
result. It is only a few days since the tele
graph informed us that the Mexican repub
lic was quiet ; but now things are changed,
and a storm of revolution has broken out all
over. Juarez' illness, no doubt, has con
tributed much to all this, and there is no
knowing where it is going to stop. Mexico,
instead of growing better, would seem to be
getting worse. The most insignificant affair
frequently serves to disturb the whole re
