THE TRWMPH OF RIGHT
AIIRAAM Luicom; has been re-elected

to the P,residency bi a majority unprece
dented ii our political conflicts: Twenti

213 of the 234 electoral votes are in his
favor, and the popular 'majority not less
than 3514000 ! _
Such u, verdict rendered after a struggle
which fo L r desperation has never been sur
passed i i n our history, has a significance
that nei one can misunderstand. It de
clares th 4 "tho§e who are deemed most

public until Peace and Union are honor
ably and enduringly secured to ourselves
and posterity by the submission of traitors
to thost i premacy of the laws. This and
this only- is the lesson of the Bth of No

Tile desperation of the defeated Demo
crati in this Congressional and Judicial
district fitly emblems,thengiostility to law
and iorder, and .shows with what tenacity
they cling to the spoils of office. After
failing in their studied etfi'irt to disfran
chise our gallant soldiers, they next re
solved to defy the law aild defraud them
out if their N....fres; and l that end the
Den oeraticrettirn judges have been ma
nipnlated by crafty and Ackless piditi
cia4 and iiveu to open, insolent dim e
-gam! of the laws they were sworn to ex:
eeutie. . s.„ , • •
Tire plitin.nglish of th'e complications
in Or congressional and judicial districts
is that the Democratic 'candidates for
Judeg and Congress were defeated at the
polls by the army vote; and not relishing
deft-at thev, or their friends, resolved that
I-
they wouldn't be defeated if enough of
votes could be crowded omit to elect them.
Just how they were to be etowd~d out.
they did not seem much to Aire, ouiy so
that apparent majorities shdidd come to
. their side. To this end ig t N. Shan
non, Prothonotary of Bedford countyl
thesame who withdrew has subscription
Xo tlie soldier bounty fund—took the lead,
• and manifested his appreciation his sol
emh oath of office. and Lin inspect for the
integrity of our elections, by usurping the
functions of a conri in a contested elec-
tion, and rejected such returns as did not
snit his views. We say he rejected such
as'suited him because he haul nosight—
noi even the 'shadow' of a right to reject
any; and all his proceedings were extra
judicial to use a charitable phrase, and
villianous and fraudulent to apply the ho
nest Saxon. His duties as Prothonotary,
tonching election returns, are thus clearly
•
- defined by the law:
gection le. It shall be the duty of the Prothon
' notary of the. County, to IA bum such returns shall he
made, to delicer to the return Judges of the meoze
eoienty, a copy, certified under his hand and seal
ofithe return of votes At transmitted to hide by the
..14dges of the, electiOn.'n., aforesaid or as sitficially
certified bs the :e i cerctary of the Commonwealth,
- as!atoresaid,to aid Prothonotary."
Instead Of obeying the instructions " to
delii - er to the returif judges" the returns,
htr. Shannon imagined himself to be judge
and jiffs and to dletermine
,jaritwhat voti,s
kliould be allowed in the count and what
k4lotlid not; and of course. he only rejected
*.nch votes as did not benefit his particular
- ticket. To consummate affraud upon the
lieople, upon the soldiers. and-11pin Judge
Fiore aud• Geu. Koontz, :11.1 . !Sliannon de
liberately detiC.Cl the law, disregarded his
ciath - cif unite, and has clouded himself
twith infamy. But he was riot aloudin
insolent dhZregard'of sworti duty. The
return judges of, the Democratie faith in
t'ultoit, Bedford,. Adaras and Franklin
' 'Seem to have been trained to aid in the
• irand z' and with one accord they seem to
have liven impressed with -the necessity
, ld rejecting enough votes to %elect their
candidates. Iloiw far they, in tlnel doing,
'cli , regarded the litw. lc;t the law itself es
plain.
Mei,' duty touching election re
. . turns are„ thus defined':
" The' return Judges, so met include, in
their enumeration, the votes so fetu ed, and there
upon shall proceed, in, all respects, in the like man
ner as is prescribed by law, in cases where all the
rotes shall have been given at the usual place of
election." t
And lestlsome fool or sempulrel'shouhl
not understimd the law, or pretend not to
understand it, its provisions go so far as
to expressly forbid that they sliaji assume
to determine the legality of any votes
brought before them. It says in section 79:
"The clerks thereupon shall in the presence of
the Judges, make but returns in the manlier here
inafter directed, which shall be signed by all the
Judges present, and attested by said clerks: and
it shall not be lawful for said Judges or clerks in
casting up the rotes which shall appearto hare been
giren, as shown the certificates under the 71ith
and; th sections of this act-to omit or reject any
part thereof, excepl i where in_the opinion of said
,Judges, such certificate is so defective, as to pre
vent the same from being understood, and computed
in oddity ,- twther the number of rotes, in which
ease it shall be the duty of said clerks to make out
d true and exact. copy of said paper or rertificiar,
to be shrned by said Judges, and attested by msid
clerks, - mid attached to and transmitted with said
return to the Secretary of the Conunonnealth
It will he seen by the foregoing 4ction
of the law that neither the Prothonotary
nor the return judgeshave any right what
ever to determine the legality of rite votes
rkifined. They are sw(lim to receive,
c - dininite anta - e . ertify them, and "it shall
not he lawfttl for them to (min or reject an y
part . thereof !" It is not pretended hi these
cases that any part of the rote returned
could not be "understood:" The trouble
was that it was too easily understood, and
for that reason it was rejected. It was
undOrstood that. it defeated two DeMo
cratic candidates, and to defraud those
honestly elected, and with that view bnly;
could men tl ins deliberately east aside their
oath of office and usurp the . function of
the courts. They are forbidden even to
reject fot any sort of informality. If the
votes lack all the formalities of law, they
must nevertheless be returned by the Pro
thouotary and counted, and ce n rtitied 1),)
the judges. Such is the language of tin
law. as fyllows :
"No)nere infurinatity in the manner of earn•
=
act shall invalidate any election held ender the
same or authorize the returns to be reverted or set
aside."
In the flice of all these provisions of-the
law under. which the "return judges act,
and which they are sworn to execute faith
fully, the Democratic return judges have
pretended to give certificates of • eleetion
to F r M. Kimmel]. for Judge, and A. 11.
Coffroth for Conkess, in the face of an
undiiiputed i . cortl- defeating them both !
That Gen. Coffroth will take any sort of
a certificate and imagine himself a Con
gressman until his vain dreams are dis
pelled when Gen. Koon'tz takes his seat.

The loyal people of the North will hail
with delight the decisive defeat of Horatio
SeymMnr in his struggle to reach the gub
ernatorial chair of the Empire State fin
another term. While he gains on 'Weld

Gov. Seymour has had a.chronic.ainbi
that to be the Governor of New Yolk. and
the people have. thrice vindicated their
just appreciation .- of his cl o o•acter by de

note aftci autotlret• trial, be is condemned

Jersey, still remains, but, althongh chosen
El=
by the Democrats, he has never 'arrayed
the power of his official misition against
the interests of the goYermnent. Not so
with Seymour. - The national authorities
never made a call upon his State that was
not the signal for a conflict; and it is lint
a part of the history of the times that his
to reached fruition in the riots .
which disgraced New York city in the
summer of 1863. He had ministered to
. every disloyal • sentiment; .strengthened
every prejudice against-the government:
unpaired the sanctity of law by his habit
ithl. denunciation of the general authOrities.
and having sowed to the wind he reap
ed the whirlwind in the lawlessness that
crimsoned the streets of Nev York with
the blood 'of her own citizens under the
very eye of- Seymour. And when the
thieves and murdefers were still rioting in
their merciless savagery ; when the State
authorities were powerless to . still the
:lends they had incited to their appalling
work. Gov. Seymour stood up before
them hropen day. and addreSsed then: a.

with dishonor; and headily willloyal men
rejoice that the reign Of Seymour is about
to close. Henceforth the great Empire

'Of Pennsylvania on th s e home vote at the

skirmished to uncover the whole line of
the - enemy and made theta tight "the bat
tle of October as if that was to decide
the contest of November,". while he held
Lis reserve for " a splendid 'Victory in
November." Possibly this strategy was
just the thing, but there is general rejoic
ing that no other State imitated it.—
What town[ has Gen. Cameron done the
Telegraph that it should thus attempt to
prove him a fool. None but a perfectl

WE are indvbfrd to Hon. Jeremiahl3lack fire
a copy of hi 9 speech delivered recently at the Hall
of the Ksystone Club,, Philadelphia. It betrays
tisingular hallucination on the subject of nezro
equality, apparently inspired by the apprehension

:BORDER PROTECTION.—Every day giyes,re
hewed evidence of the demoralization of the rebels.
At the outbreak of thewar their leaders resolved
to maintain a creditable record before the world
as beiliceraots, and their main armies, after they
had attained discipline under their best generals,
presented a high standard of soldiery. Troy,
'there were guerillas then as now who were but
free ; booters, but even they made some pretense _
to chivalry in most cases. There were isolated
commands which often practiced the most shame
cruelties; but their chief armies were un
der excellent discipline and generally paid rca-
.•
sonable deference to the accepted rules of war.
Sui.h was the just reputation of Lee's army ire
PBti; - 1. asset 186:1 when he crossed the Potomac.—
Outrages upon persons and property other than
were justified by the usages of war, or ever inci
dent to the movement of a large army, were rare ;
but in 1864; when the rebel cause is sinking into
the depths of despair, we find a part of the same
army of Lee make a record of vandalism unpar
alleled in the history of modern warthre. Under_
the orders of Gen. Early, who is under the Mune,
diate - 6i-der of Gen. Lee, M'Causland, Johnston,
Gilmore- and other fiends in human shape sweep
„Maryland from Hancock to the gates of Washing
ton, levy the free-bootees tribute in every town,
and give, their commands over to indiscriminate
plunder and wanton destruction of property.—
l'hamber.burg is in ruins without the pretense
of provocation, and the actions of the command
establi4ied the tact that they were masters of
their infernal Thade of applying the torch, and
accomplished in the science of robbery.
That such vandalism and unbridled license has
brought bitter fruits to the rebel armies is not
surprising. At first the rebel journals were wild
with delight at the burning and plundering of
Chambersburg, but their joy has noWheen turned
into mourning as defeat after defeat and capture
after capture told the significant story that a thiev
ing soldiery must bring dishonor and disaster up
on its flag on any corM;sted battle-field. The
same journals which evinced the most fiendish de-
light at the destruction of Chambersburg, are now
loud and deep in their complaints thattlie rebel
plunderers of Maryland and Pennsylvania have
never fought a battle since—that he cavalry of
Early, once the pride of Lee's army, has lost all
its prowess and dash since it reveled hi boundless
license in the rich stores of the border.
But-this is not all. Each day witnesses the in
creased domornlization of the rebel armies, and
naturally increases, and must continue to increase,
the bands of theiving guerrillas who dependioleli
upon plunder for their support. They are part
of the rebel armies only to the extent they' deem
nei , essar3 te, protect them as prisoners of war in
case Id rapture, and their lives are devoted to
booty." lit shout from soldiers of crime, they have.
descended-into mere organizA thieves, and as such
they must he recognized and proper measures ta
ken to guard. against them. They are now all ,
along the border of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Missouri, and also along the Northern frontier.
But a feW days ago they made a descent upon St.
Albans, Vermont, and robbed the banks, and sim
ilar raids are apprehended at almost every im
portant tibia on the Northern line that is of easy
access from Canada.
With this increased demoralization in the rebel
armies, the danger to the border naturally inerea=
ses, and With the increase of danger should the
vigilance and efforts of our own people increase.
Against this - sort of free-booting no arnry can de
fend. • The safety of the people is entirely with
:themselves. They may - come in small bands at
night along the border, and gather; in the towns
in such manner as to disarm suspicion, and coin
mit robberies and even murder, unless the people
prepare for them. The sooner we appreciate the
fact that rebel soldiers are fast becoming but des
relate plunderers, the sooner We shall be com
paratively safe:and we would earnestly urge the
people of the border to insure their safety by bo
ingut all times prepared for - such incursions•in
exposed localities. The towns of Greencastle,
Mereersburg, Waynesboro and Chnmbersburg,
should have.regularly organized companies of cit
izens, armed with the very best arms, and ready
at a given signal to join in defending themselves
and their towns from small thieving parties; and
the peeple of the extreme border should harp
trusty rifles he every house and stout hearts and
'steady aruis to use them. If our people would
but thus prepare =themselves fully for defense
nglinst raids, We should have no apprehension,
nbout them. One man at home is equal to three
nlen advancing in an enemy's country, and such
incursions would not be attempted 'among an
armed and resolute people. •
• If there were from fifty to one hundred men in
eaelrof the leading towns of this county organized
and armed' with the Henry rifle, they could defy.
these raids and with the aid of the military, could
,successfully resist such Commands as these of
