TEW MESNE.
an«nratloti ofGovrriior Brownlow.
By Taltgraph to the (Mtt.burgh Qacotto
NA»IIVILL*, October 10.—Governor
Brownlow was inauguarated this morn
ing. lie appeared in the House ol Rep
resentatives and took the oath of office.
The inaugural was read by his private
secretary. In it he expresses grttitado
for the honor of n second election by a
larger majority than was ever given for
Governor, but regards it as a triumph of
the principles represented in his nomi
nation rather than a personal victory.
He paid the highest compliment to the
Republican party, the only organization
controlled by men up with the advanced
ideas of tJ:e times, and guarding with
zealou* eye the preservation of the Union
Tennessee he spoke of as the harbinger
of a new dispensation of political affairs
in the South. In regard to Northern
men settling in the Stato, he said, "I
have witnessed with regret in different
localities in the State a disposition to
proscribe uorthcrn men and drive them
from the country. I do not enter into
this spirit, nor will I administer the Ex«
ecutive branch of the State Government
upon any such principle. If men are
good enough to come to Tennessee and
encounter the cold and he.it, in mud and
rain, of our climate, and face rebel bul
lets in putting down rebellion, they arc
good enoe »to fill offices of honor and
trust. \\ ut Northern capital, North
ern enterj .J, &o. To get all this, I,
for one, am quite willing to take a iair
r-oportion of Northern politicans ; but
yield to no man in my contempt for
that class of Northern men who come
among us, and for the sake of position
and patronage abandon their honest sen 1
timcnts, and rebel sympathizers. The
inaugural concluded as follows : Implor
ing for your guidance the favor ol Al
mighty God, which is never withheld
from lawmakers whoso cause is just,
shaped solely by tho conception. He
gives them of right and duty. I con
clude with a sentiment, which I trust
may inspire all our action, "'1 he Union
of the Republican party for the sake ol
the Union,"
THE CITADEL CHARMED.
The election does not change the na
ture of things. Of some things in the
political arona it does not change the po»
«ition. The interests and the laws of
the country are tho s*me that they were
before it occurred. And unless thoro
should bo treachery and usurpation at
the head ot tho Executive Department
of the (Jovernment, tho maintenance of
those interests and the administration of
those lairs will goon, without let or bin
drance, as before. We refer particularly
to the legalized process for tho restoration
of tho seceded States to the Union.
Should tho election cncouroge latent
treachery to become more open and ac
tive ; in other words, should it stimulate
the President to obstruct the laws which
he is bound by oath and duty to execnto,
it will be a consequence such as ha? nev
er yet followed au election, and an inter
pretation such as has never been put
upon the meaning of one. If the laws
are unacceptable to the majority of the
people, there is a proper method of an
nulling them. Obstruction by fraud, vi
olence or formal neglect, is a method
which the people of this country have
never yet approved.
The* central plank in the Republican
policy has been, and is now, the restora
tion of the seceded States to the Union,
t«D just and proper conditions. This has
been impeded by the President, and the
Democratic party have instigated and in
dorsed his course in this respect. The
laws of Congress have been indorsed by
the Republican party. Until repealed
or modified, their execution must con
tinue to be tho duty of the President,
whether he shall perform it or not. Tha
election, therefore, docs not legitimately
nffeot the prospects of that just and safe
reconstruction which has been the aim of
the Republican party. There is no al
ternative *or evasion, but in a gross de
reliction of official duty in the Executive-
As to the future prospects of the great
central questions, they must be deter
mined by tbe voice of the people in fu
ture elections. Next year, in the elec
tion of a new Congress and a new Presi»
dent, the opportunity will be legally pre
sented for an expression of the people's
will on the subject. But the next year
we anticipate that expression in favor of
the Republican doctrine of reconstruc
tion, on the basis of fidelity to the Union.
We are not at all despondent in conse
quence of the defeat wc have had on
questions foisted into this canvass, which
are net connected with the main clianco.
Last year we recollect after their seventh
defeat, tbe Democrats rallied their hopes
immediately after election. After glori
ous victories for seven years we hope the
Republican party liaß too much vitality
tlpd too much spirit to give way to des
pondency, and especially, as the present
election does not decide, against them the
issue which they have deemed and de
clared so often to bo the principal one
for which they have fought and voted,
namely, freedom, the Union, equal rights
aud a just representation on the basis of
men, and not chattel property, in the
Federal Government.— Ex.

THE ITALIAN REVOLUTION.
FLORENOK, October 11.—The insur
gents and invading parties in tho provin*
ces of Yitrcbo have been concentrated at
Florence, where they havo thrown up
entrenchments Many other places iu
Roman territory have also been occupied
by the Garibaldiaus. Several regiments
of Pontificial troops have been sent out
to dislodge them, and the garrison within
the walls of Rrome at present is very
small. A strong Papal force has left
Rome to prevent the junction ofMcnotti
Garibaldi and parties und«r his command
with the insurgentsat the fortress. The
plan of the Garibaldian leaders seems to
bo to draw the soldiers of the Pope away
from Rrome, and theu give their friends
in that city an opportunity to raise.

NAPOLEON AND THE Cucßcn.—Na
poleon is not ready to cut himself loose
i'rotn the Roman Catholic Chureii, says
a Paris lettor: The Church party is
neccessary to rhe Fmperior, for after all
it is the only true conservative party in
France—the only one upon which he car
positively rely. All his other supporters
are liable to fly off in a tangent, hut the
clerical party, so long as he holds true to
them, will sustain him. And this is why
the Kmpcror was ready to send an cxpe
dition to crush out the rebellion in
Rome. Wcro Napoleon really tho great
man which some of his admiters claim
him to be, with all the elements of dis
content about htm, with the people cla
moring for liberties which time and again
have beeu promised but Dever granted
them,—with a people the growing '.impor
tance of whose commercial and indus
trial interests lead them to wish for
peace and quiet, while his uuccrwia,
doubtful policy is constantly keeping
them in fear of war—did he possess the
greatness and courage and patriotism
which his friends say he does, he would
give France her so much desired internal
liberties,and at the next general elections
goto the people upon this issue saying
to them, "If you don't want me with
these, make some better arrangements
for your Government." But his threat
ened Roman erpedition proves that Na
poleon has not sufficient faith yet in the
people of France, and that he still feels
the necessity of the clerical aid and in
fluence to keep him in undisturbed
power.

All Aboard For Halt River.
There is no longer a doubt that w»
wers badly beaten everywhere last Tues<
day. Sharswood is elected Supreme
Judge in this State. In Ohio the Con
stitutional Amendment is defeated by a
heavy majority, and the democrats have
a majority of the Legislature. That's
election news enough for one day. No
use hanging your undet lip. Get provis
ions, and go aboard for Salt Itiver for
one year, and then we'll see whai we
will see. Perhaps the salubrions bresz
es of that classic region will put a little
vigor into the Republican party. No use
tlaking about how it was dona or who
did it; the thing is done. Wonder if
that lightning struck any other place-
Why was II ?
The official returns of tho late election
in this cou'-'- -*— clearly that a
great many v -erylow
estimate on the privilege ot tho elective
franchise. To such an extent is this tho
ease, that about 1000 voters, as compared
with last fall's election,remained at home
or absented themselves from the polls.
The time that it would have taken for
them to have gone to tho election must
have been to thorn, very precious indeed.
Some people are so throng that they
never have timo to do what they ought
to do. They are sppcaringly anxious
that the" great principles which they ads
voeate should succeed, but they Dcglect
tho very duty that is absolutely necossa
ry to insuro success. Wheu the dec
tions are over and the opposition have
either succeeded in electing their men
or in making a decided increase in their
vote in compaiiion with our own, fiese
stay-at-home individuals have the gratis
Gcation of knowing that their neglect
contributed in a very large degree to tho
success of their opponents. If, as these
individuals some times say, it were true
that it would bo a pecuniary loss to them,
there might b» some show of excuse lor
them ; but it must bo a very rare case
indeed iu which this is true. In our
county no voter need lose moro than
three hours at most in order to deposit
his ballot, and it muse be a poor cause
that would not justify any man who is
entitled to vote, to leave his work
or business for that length of time.
This of course applies to those who are
employed in ther district where they are
entitled to vote. Carelessness and in
difference on the part of Republicans in
regard to the exercise of tho elective
franchise in the present situation of pub
lic affairs are little less than criminal on
the part of those who, unnecessarily ab
sent themselves from the polls. In the
fall elections of 1866, when Gen. Geary
was elected Governor of the State, the
aggregate vote of Butler county was 0605
at the late election it was 5601, a falling
off of 1004 ; of thin number fully 600
arc Republicans ; from this it will bo
soen that had the aggregate vote of the
late election been equal to the vote of last
fall our Republican majority in the coun
ty would havo been equal to our major
ty at that time.
The decreased Republican majority
in this county is therefore, directly
attributable to the fact that many Re
publicans had business elsewhere than at
the polls. While our majority is less
than it should be by at lea«t 20°, there is
nothing in it encouraging to the apposi
tion. We have simply stated facts as
figures show them, and when the proper
time arrives, with the standard bearer as
indicated by the signs of the times, we
will more than roll up our old fashioned
majority, in vindication of the great
principles upon which our free govern
ment is to rest,
IVnii*y I vnnlii Election.
Official returns from sixty three coun
ties, and estimated majorities from Cle*r-
Geld, Forest and Sullivan give Sharswood
889 majority. The official majority will
perhaps not be known until the votes arc
counted by the Secretary of the Com
monwealth in November.
It is asserted and confidently believed
that at lea«t two thousand fraudulent
votes were polled ic Philadelphia ou last
Thursday, by means of counterfeit tax
receipts or by tax reseipts given to ille
gal voters. In order that frauds may be
prevented in the future, the Pennsylva
nia Legislature will be called upon to en
act a thorough and sympathetic registry
law. The law should bo general in its
character.

Editorial Clipping^.
THE Tribune, in pronouuuing some
timely words of wurning to the Republi
can party, says:
The Republican party need not depend
for its victories on the persistent nrsbe
huvior of its enemies. 11 is strong enough
to rule by its own merits independently
of their follies and crimes. Rut to this
end it must first: Complete promptly the
Reconstruction of the Southern States on
a basis of blended justice and magnan
imity ; Second : Systematically educate
and euiightcu the people. The necessity
and urgency of closing up the work of
reconstruction on the broad and safe ba
sis of Universal Amnesty with Impartial
Suffrage is now so clear that we will not
dwell upon it. Events are moro cogent
than arguments.
We will ndt quarrel with the Tribune
about its plan for reeonstructing the
South, if it will come with us in support
of Intelligence as the basis of Suffrage,
when wo come to have the matter over>
hauled in the North. The ballot in the
hands of every loyal man became a nc'
cessity in the South, not only for its own
sake, but to save the country from the
domination of tho unreconstructed and
ever rebellious portion of the community
there—a necessity whereof negro suffrage
was born. The necessity in the North
for an intelligent ballot is scarcely less
apparent. We aro sure the Tribune re
alizes this. While thcacfore we rein
force loyalty with the ballot iu the South,
let us improve every opportunity to make
intelligence and fitness tho basis of voting
here. What says the Tribune?—l'ilti.
Commercial.
Tho Democrats have a right to re
joice ; Rut if they oro wiso they will not
delude themselves with the idea that
they have won a victory in this State
wheather SHARSWOOD has fivo or ten
thousand, or none at all, the fact will re.
main that he has received a lest number
of voter than CLYMER tfidlatt full. The
simple and only truth is, no Rapublican
has changed to the Democrats—a few
thousand iu the State did no< vote, and
the result is as nearly as possible a draw
game. There is nothing iu tho canvass
or the result that presen's a hope for the
State by the Democrats, or should cause
a single moment's depression on the part
of the pirt of the Republican*. From
the elections on Tuesday last, certain
things can be predicted, and one of them
is that Pennsylvania, next fall, will give
ji.7 the Republican J'rctiilential elector>
an overxchctmimj majority. Tho present
result clears the way for such a result
then. If the Democrats are wiso they
will perceive this, and moderate thoir
expectations. As many a time during
the war was it the cause, this defeat will
insure a victory on the next trial. The
reasons why this will be so are obvious.

" But every voter who does not read is

Tho Tribune U progressing bravely,
and there is reason to expect that it will,
before long, be with us iu favor of Suf

gatd to raco or color—tho only safo rule

Commercial,
WF. anticipate for the Republican |
party a more perfect unity of policy and
action, in the next canvass, than it has
had in the one just past. We have not
been unaware of the existence, or of the
unfortunate influence, of some transient
and incidental hindrances ts success in
the Hate campaign. These will be either
eliminated or held under control io the
future, that the energies of the party
may rally upon the purely patriotic
ground which properly belongs to them.
Individual aberrations must not be per
mitted to lessen the party strength. It
may even be wiser to disown them, as to
a limited extent haß been done, and to
drop relations to those who fasten to them
than to jeopardise SHCCCSS in an impor
tant canvass, by tacitly bearing the bur
den of an erroneous policy, or a doubtful
eentiment. In unity there is trength*
Tiir. New York Timet thinks that the
Republicans of Pennsylvania had no oc
casion for being "dumbfounded with the
result of Tuesday's election." Our con
temporary supposes a state of things that
does not exist. There is nothing in the
result to " dumfound" anybody, without
it be the eopperheads, who confidently
expected ro carry the State by as many
thousands SB their majority is hundreds.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania were
never in better spirits, and go into the
Presidential canvass with confidence.—
The disabilities which the last Legislas
turc inflicted were enough to overthrow
any party. A long score of debts and
grievances, created by it, have been
dischar god, and will no longer plague us.
Instructed as to the popular will, sud
warned concerning itself, the Republican
party will go straight forward in tho path
which leads to victory.— J'itti. Com.
THE election being now over, and both
parties somewhat astouishod at the results,
wise men and some not so wise are ex
tracting from it the lessons which they
conceive it to teach. Among the latter
class, wc reckon President Johusun, who
is said to have discovered that the elec
tion is an indorsement of hii policy.
His represntative in this city and county
must have given hi_m a rose colored ac
count of the indorsement here, to have
justified the President's inference. The
Democrats are drawing their lesson from
tho election page, and the Republicans
are proficients in learning theirs, which
had they been a little more observant
they might have learned us easily, and
with perhaps more profit before eleciton.
Another year will be required to determ
ine who has beeu most benefitted by the
present lesson.
THE New York Democrats are taking
ground for Gov . Seymour for President
and claim that by their management of
tho late State Convention they have ma
terially advanced his prospects. Con
siduring that no military man of sufficient
proportions wi II consent to be the can
didate of that party, it is highly proba
ble that they will take a civilian. Sey
mour is one of no mean order, lie was
on the side ot tho rebels from the begin
ning to tho end of the war, and acted as
instigator of the New York riots in the
middle. II is claims, therefore, are of
the first order, and his friends have a
right to consider him the coming min.
IT was arranged that Mr. Johnson
should niakea a speech on the elections,
Wednesday night. Hut tho Democrats
put their foot on it aud the serenade
whioh had been planned did not comu
off. The cross purposes of tho Demo
crats and Mr. Johnson are visible even
to the naked eye. The first time begets
an opportunity to make a speech he will
claim the result of the elections as an
indorsement of him and his "policy j"
whereas the Democrats putin the claim
that it was achieved indepandent of him;
in spite of bim, in fact. Mr. Johnson
harbors the idea that he may yet bo a
Presidential candidate, and will not be
glow to appropriate to himself the ontire
capital contained in the elections, to that
end. These little oouplications quashed
the serenade, and Mr. Johdson must get
his glorification speech in on some other
occasion.
THE Pittsburgh Pout reverberates the
malicious accusation that Col. Jordan,
Secretary of State, cannot be trusted to
canvass the returns of the election. The
attempt to direct suspicion against that
State officer could have proceeded only
from conscious guilt and the fear of dis
covery. In Philadelphia the Democrats
have perpetrated frauds whereon pioba
bly hangs the result. Had tbey the pow
er to cover up these frauds they would
succeed. Unfortunately, Colonel Jordan
cannot be relied on for such a service,
nor will he be deferred from doing his
whole duty in the premises by the utop
thief cry which the Age and the I'ott
have raised cgainst him.
So says the New York Commercial.—
Wc credit the Democrats with possession
of the sagacity to perceive that the re
cent elections indicate nothing permanent
in their favor. To m*n of intelligence
they bear no such interpretation. To the
Republicans the elections are instructive
—not destructive, and they will make the
Republicans stronger by showing them
what begets weakness.

IT appears from the inventory of tho
estate of Abraham Lincoln, as filed by
Judge Davis, administrator, in the office
of the county of Sangamon, Illinois, that
the total value of the personal estato of
the lato President, including the 5i5,000
appropriated by Congress to hi* family,
on account of bis salary, was one hun
dred and ten Ihouiand dullan, beside the
real estate held by him. Mrs. Lincoln
has either squandered this estate or it
deliberately guilty of an attempt to black
mail the Iriends of her late husband.— j
The Tribune proposes Congress should I
vote her tlio balance of what Mr. Lin-',
coin would have received had he lived.;
We trust not before the whole truth is!
known, and without some better reasons'
than now appear.— J'illt Com.
Tim action of the Union Convention |
of Maryland, urgently "recommending
to the Republican party of the country
the nomination of General Grant as their
candidate for tho Presidency," ai.d the
bringing forward of his name by the
Baltimore Amcrieitn as such candidate,
are both in accord with the sentiment of
the great body of the Republican masses.
The elections on Tuesday last virtually
nominated General Grant. When tho
result of tho elcstion becanio known, tj
hiiu a million eyes gladly turned It was
no device of the politicians, but a spon
taneous movement of tho people, cutting
knots, dissolving doubts, and, at tho same
time, disposing of aspirants who could
not survive the first chilling blast.
Tin COUNTERFEIT BONDS. —The Troa«ury
Department have made a careful examina
tion to-day of the counterfeit 7-30 bunds,
and liare come to the conclusion tliat tho
engraving wasnotdono in thin country but
in England. So fur but oue hundred thou
sand dollars of the counterfeits hare been
discovered, and diligent search it being
made to sie if anj duplications of the bonds
have been paid by the lt lt ap
pears that the counterfeit bonds have ap
peared in themaiket sinco the 24th of Sep
tember.
TIIK Democracy will delude itsolf with
tho idea that verdicts have been rendered
in their favor, while, in fact, they arc
simple, but emphatic rebukes of Radi
calism. Tho party that, as a party, was
disloyal, through a w»" threatening the
dissolution of the Union and the des
truction of the Government, will not easi
ly be forgotten or forgiven.
As a precautionary measure, Oen. Grant
has ordered three light batteries to Fort
.Mc llonry, Baltimore—a precuntion render
ed neocesary by tho half-developed purpo
ses of tho unreconstructed rebel element
there. The fact is a significant one.
SOME of the Democratic papers look as
though they had gone iota the Shanghai
and Braliaina-poortra trade, such*an army
of poultry dj they exhibit on the election
news.
i&-The people of Ohio havo this year
had tho question ol negro suffrage befo'c
them, and on a vote, have given it
a decided negative. This decisiou is not
inconsistent with their support of the
reconstruction law embracing negro suff
rage in tho States lately iu rebellion.
Tho case* are entirely different. In the
South, it was not on the question of c*lor
that they were rdmittcd to suffrage, but
one of loyalty—the only basis oa which
civil governmenment can stand. A few
loyal white* have been fonnd in the
South—fow compared with the rebel el
ement—but not enough to sustaiu them
selves against the overwhelming odds,
and not enough to constitute the State
Governments respectably republican in
form. In this anomalous condition, the
enfranchisement of the entire loyal peo
ple, without distinction of color, was a
necessity. As this' manifestly just and
wi.«e measure embraced tho large propor
tion of the negro race, it falls into the
same category as their emancipation and
their eulistment as soldiers—to save tho
Repuhlio from detriment. The question
decided in Ohio is altogether d.fferent
. and rojts on entirely different grounds.
| Tha decision of it cannot, therefore, be
interpreted as npposed to the reconstruc
tion policy of Congress, and there is no
i inconsistency in voting against the Ohio
, Amendment and at the same time sup
' porting the llepublioan policy of rocon

MAJ. ANDERSON, — Dear Sir: 1 be
lieve that your irost amiable, familiar
spirit with the name of dubious import,
hus been guilty rf mixing up my last
letter in a terrible manner. I Raid that
the Monroe Brothers had raised 2,00q
bushels of wheat. He made it 200. 1
said Mr. Hannah had an orchard of I,COO
apple trees, tic. ll* made it 6,000. I
said we wanted more men. He said mora
new. And now, kind imp, won't you try
| to do better in future ?
| We have had excellent crops this year.
1 1 have heard of one field or wheat which
produced forty two bushels to the acre;
| and as to the fruit, we have not much
yet, but the quality is unsurpassed. Dr.
; Walker sont luc some pears and plum*,
a few days ago, the most delicious that I
have ever tasted, and tho largest I havs
ever seen. What grape vines are now
here, are loaded with fine largo grapes.
Apples are scarce yet, buc are beginning
to boar. Merries of all kinds abound.—
We want a good Nursory hero. Wo sup
posed that thero would be one started this
summer, but I believe it is given up.—
Wo are sending out to Rochester for fruit
trees. And talking of trees, we have
most noblo timber hero. I cut a Bass
wood the other day, two and a half foct»
in diameter at the stump, which, at *ev
enty five feet, would have squared twelvo
inches, and was perfectly straight and <
sound. I measured another which was
seventeen feet in circumference. Most
of our timber is Sugar»Maple, Kim, Beech 1
and Basswood. There is also consider**
bio I'ine and Hemlock, of good quality,
and occasionally a growth of Cedar er
Tamarack. W« have no Hickory. Up '
in Lcclenaw county, the Democrat* tried
to find Hickory far a polo, last Fall, but
couldn't get auy; aud 80 they took a Slip
pery Kim. Wo havo v*ry littl* Oak.—
There are some fine Hed-oaks near Trav«
erne City. If we could get our wood to
market, it would be valuable. At present
it is only worth what it cost* to cat it.
Fences are made of whole trees—some
times four and five feet in diameter. It 1
is easier to fall them along the line than
to make rails.
But I must stop for this timo. In my
next I will try to tell you about our Coun
ty Fair which comes of next moath. -
Yours, &e.,
W. J. YOU.NO.
Horrible Crime.
CANTON, U., October 13,1867. —Thi»
afternoon while the congregation w*ro
assembling in the German Reformed
Church, a most desperate and deadly as
sault was made by Ferdinand Hoffman
upon the person of his divorced wife,
Caroline Yost. Approaching her in tho
choir, he demanded a few moments con*
versation, which being denied ho asked
her to kiss him, and while in the act cf
doing so, he stabbed her with a butcher
knife three times in the breast and eight
times in the abdomen and on the limbs.
The scence was terrible and heartrend
ing, and the screams of the women and
the shout* of tho men as the assassin fled,
from the scene of his assault, were ex
citing in the extreme. Tho murderer,,
with the butcher knife still in his hand,
streaming with the blood of hi* victim,,
attempted to reach the railroad, pursued
by a maddened and excited crowd, but
was arrested in hi* flight by a stalirart
countryman who compelled him to sur
render. The excitement at this point
was intense, and the general demand was
that the monster should be lynched on
the spot. Prudent counsel* prevailed
and he was marohed to jail. 'At one
point theagoniaed mother of tbeunfortu«
nate young woman confronted the crowd,,
and with a large siicd stick beat the
prisoner over the head, while at the urn*
time he was beateu indiscriminately by
parties in the crowd,and another demand,
was made for his immediate hanging,
lid was, however, safely lodged in jail.
The excitement is still very greut, and
numerous threats were made to take him
from jail. It is doubtful whether the
lady can live till morning. Hoffman is
a desperate character, and was released
| but ten days from State prison. His only
regret i* that he did lot kill her at qpce.
