PITURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1867. Tuu Meadville Republican urges John Hickman for Speaker of the State •House Of Representatives, on the ground• of his "honesty and fearlessness." If he possesses either quality, we fear his hances of success are very slim. • ME Meadville Republican sees in, the Radical defeat a "penalty for the election of Simon Cameron as ti. S. Senator, last winter, and the treachery. anti villainy of the last Legislature. To this election, and the-cor ruption connected with it, more titan to any other cause, may we attribute the falling off in the Republican vote. The people scorn to endorse the acts of the tricksters who would lead our party . to ruin, and made it the creature of their iniquitous schemes." All of which sounds nicely, Mr. Republican, but how comes it that, in common with the rest of the Radical press, you - did your best to elect Judge Williams to the Supreme Bench, when you knew that he is one of Cameron's rig t ht hand men, and would have done his licgt to subserve that illustrious rogue's interests? A little consistency now and then, MIL. Republican, befits- even a Radical paper. TITE Titusville Herald thinks "there is something odd in the circumstance that, .while the Wmocrats are rejoicing over what they call victories, and which certainly are gains, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other Northern States, we Republicans have much better reasons fur rejoicing over victories gained in the Southern States of Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama. The 52,000 majori, ty secured by Governor Brownlow, in Ten nessee, is of more political value than all the gains that have been made by the Johnson ized Domaeracy from Calitornia to Maine." We do not think, neighbor Herald, there is `the slightest oddity about it. The victories for your side in the South arc victories of ne groes, aided by bayonets, over white men ; those in the North, are the free, unwed es pression of the masses, placing on record their condemnation of the means•which have enabled you to secure the results of which You boast. While we continue to gain fwhitc victories, The Radicals are welcome to the black ones. Tws Radical papers of this section are seeking to excuse the heavy decrease of their party strength this fallby the plea that little or no effort was made to bring out their rote. This is not true, as our coteinporaries know Very well. Both hi this county and Crawford the Chairmen of their Committees are well known, influentidl and active politicians,who werwexpreSsly selected with the object of ral lying the full vote of the party. They labored strenuously to accomplish that end, and if the voters failed to turn out, the fault does not attach to them. 'Before the election the Radical papers nrinonneed meetings in every portion of Erie and Crawford counties, and we have no reason to doubt that they were as. advertised. In fact, we do not rec ollect of a Gubernatorial campaign in which more strenuous efforts were made on the Rad ical side than in the one just" passed. The cause of their defeat rests - upon- other grounds than the negligence of the Chairmen of the respective County Committees. Thousands of Radical voters had become disgusted with the corruption of their leaders, they saw Plainly that their party was incapable of properly goterning the country - 7 but they - were unable to make up their minds to vote -the Democratic ticket, and so did the next best thing—remained away front the polls. The fear of being on the unpopular side has • been dispelled by the success of Judge Mars wriotl, arid henceforth we may rely upon their faithful-co-operation. • s • ONE of the ingenious devices of thc Radi cals to perpetuate. their power was the (Tea thin of a district out of the counties, of Blair, litintingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, Centre and Perry, which they gave two Senators. With only a couple exceptions, the counties com posing.. it have no interests infommon, and the extreme,length of 'the dist 'et renders it very objectionable to the people. The object of its_erection was palpable. but as usual when a party seeks to gain its ends by wrongful means, 1116 effort bas rebounded upon its originators. At the late election, both the Democratic candidates were chosen, 'Whereas had a fair apportionment been made, each party would have secured one. Mr. Mclntyre, of Perry, is chosen Senator by 304 majority, and Mr. Shugart, of Centre, by 13.—a close sail, it .mtit be - confessed, but \welt enouglrfor any practical purpose. A Similar trick has been circumvented in the Representative district composed of Indiana and Westmoreland counties. These' two counties, instead of being' each granted a member, as they are entitled to, were put in one district, with the right to two Represen tatives, in the hope that the immense Radical Majority in Indiana' would' always overbal ance the Deilmeratic one in Westmoieland. The result has not borne. out the expecta tion, and the Democrats are - congratulating themselves upon the success of one of their candidates, in spite of Radical intrigue and deception. , In consequence of these gains, • the Legislature will stand slightly different from - what we published last 'week. In the Senate, there will be . 14 Democrats and 19 „Radicals; in the Rouse 46 Democrats and 'M Radicals—a Radical majority, on joint What of 13. ON vu first Tuesday of November, which is the fillh day of the month, elections will be held in the States of New York, New Jer sey, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, „Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nevada. Some of these Commonwealths vote for a Onvermir and Stale °Ricers, but in others the ticket is on)), local. On all the eyes of the nation are eagerly fixed, since the glorious result in PerLpsylvania and Ohio. Let us trust that the .pext fight of this year's campaign will be still more auspicious and its issues even more fortunate than the last. .The coldrs of the Union are now in the hands of the' , Democ• racy of New York and the Northwest. Will they sustain them as their brethren of Con necticut, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania have done, And by so doing easuie a Natiak al victory in 18118? OF'PICIAL STATE VOTE. We arc at length enabled to give the com plete official vote of The State, as it has been reported to the Secretary of State',, (Ankle, at Harrisburg. The falling of fr6m the Tote of last year is not as large as we anticiPated, being 0n1r62,660, or 10 1-2 .per ccit, of which the Republicans lose 40,450, on their vote for Geary, or a little over 13 per dent., and the Democrats 23,272 on their vote for Clymer, about 7 1-3 per cent. In the election of 1805, which, like that of the present year, was conducted upon quiet principles, the i vote was over 140,060 less than in 1800, shoring that a larger per centage of voters tvaS out this year than is usually the case in minor campaigns. "We are not inclined to accept the theory of the Radicals that because their vote exhibits a greater diminution than the, Democratic, it is an indication that their sup porters did not turn out proportionately as well as ours. This idea is based upon the supposition that each party retains its-rela tive numbers, the same as in 1866, which We totally deny. The returns from every other State in the Union show that the Democratic party is rapidly securing accessions from the other side, and Pennsylvania is not likely to be an exception to the general rule. We do not believe that a less proportion of" theßad ical vote was out than of ours, and the differ ence in the per centa,ge is Undoubtedly an ev idence of just that much increase in, the Democratic strength, which, even uPort this theory, would not equal the ratio in most of the States. Taking the gains in New Eng land, Ohio and California as a basis, we should'have a Democratic vote now of not less than 25,000 more than we had in' 1860, and unless we are greatly mistaken, the re sult next year will develop such 'to be the filet. i 50.00 50.00 25,00 1.00 1.00 50 - , 1.00 20 - 1.00 2.00, The following is the vote by counties, as furnished by the Harrisburg officials : 1866. 1867.

'922 TILE PRADDS 'EV PHILADELPHIA The Radical papers have had a great deal to say in relation to the alleged frauds com mitted in Philadelphia, by which they Oahu that the election of Judge Sharswood and' the Democratic ticket in that city have been, rendered illegal. Instead, however, of being able to prove the truth of their story, they have only succeeded in bringing to light the evidence of their own rascality, and that in so positive a shape that it cannot be denied. The Philadelphia Age publishes the follow ing: interesting correspondence: The following important telegram has been received by- William I...first Esq., of, this city, from General Townsend, in .refer ence to the Fort Delaware election fraud. The document speaks for itself, and, at pies. ent needs no comment: WAR-DEPARTMENT, Oct. 15, 1667. William L.

I add, on my own authority,' tthat I have ascertained that a large prop wtion of the men voting had no vote in the{State under any circumstances.

Fon some inexplicable reason, the offi cial returns of the Ohio election conic in ex ceedingly slow, but enough have been re ceived to show, that the majority. of the Radical candidate for Governor will be in the neighborhood of 3,000. The figures present some queer results. Thus, the counties of Barden and Van_Wert return a tie vote ; littux gives a and Washington 4 for Ilayd•r; Highland 4 and Madison 1S for Thurinan.

Wade . , has been talking' about im peaching the President. Before he could do that, however, he has been himself impeached by the people of Ohio. All the voters in a township named .Ta'ek son, in Auglaize county, Ohio, to the num ber of four hundred and nine, voted Demo cratic—an increase of seven over last year. They claim the promised Democratic ban ner. - It. M. Onderdonk, Democratic - candidate for State Senator from Gallia county, Ohio, intenils to contest the seat, on the ground that he was beaten •bt a majority of one hundred negro votes. The Democratic gain imbi.; favor was very large. The lamb-like Wade, of Ohio, it is_ said, swore most vigorously when he learned that his cltanct. for a re-election to the United States Senate had all departed. He is thus reported: . "The d—d nigger, and the G—d d--(1 bons, have given the State to the d—d Copperheads." 11 parties arc liable - to occasional repul sion. The DelllOCraist, in old times,lost Penn sylvania in 1840, but regained it, largely, in 1841. So in 1846, and they recovered it in 1847. So in 1848, and they recovered it in 180 . So in' 185-f, and they.recoVered it in 18.53. So in 1838, and they recovered it in 18.59. So in 1860, and they recovered it. in 1862. and only lost it again by the• opportui ty offered by the war for the 'Radicals to mis represent our motives and principles. Connecticut, whir:h started the Democrat ic ball so gallantly last April, still continue.: to propel it onward. At her late town Meet ings the following was the result: Democratic towns 4 - - Radical towns Democratic majority - - -10 This is the first time in thirteen years that the Democrats have carried a, majority of the towns of tlMt State. They hare gained over twenty towns this fall. • The declaration last week of lion. Mont gomery Blair in his speech that Gen. Grant Lad rejoiced over the result - of the recent elections, has thrown the Radical Presiden tial Grant-wire-workers into quite a fever, anti they were busy endeavoring to obtain a contradiction of the statement. In this they failed, and the failure has given• great com fort to the Chase interest, which believes Mr. Blair's statement and insists that Grant don't wear Greelry's-uniform, and cannot there fore, be trusted. The friends of Grant are tirglhg him! to write a letter and show IIN The Democracy hare gained two Senator-. aid eight Represmututixes hi the State Legis la ure.

The Cleveland Herald, in an article upon the recent election in Ohio, accounts for the defeat of the negro suffrage amendment as follows: .- "There' was a very heavy vote polled against the amendment by young men—par ticitlarlv such as were casting their first vote —out of' sheer prejudice against the negroL an unreasoniog impulse, that partook more' of the element of mere pride of opinion am! ambition to be thought independent in po litical sentimetit. than of any settled convic tion of duty. Personally these voters eared but little 'about the matter, and did not care to use any argument, save that they'could not go the nigger!' It is said that a has well-known New York shownam has made an offer to pur chase the entire lot of Mrs. Lincoln's ward robe, jewelry etc., at her own valuation, on the single condition that she throw in the letters Which she is said to have in her pos session front the donors, and which she has threatened to' publish: - The Radicals arc terribly alarmed lest Mrs. Lincoln should ay cept the.otler. Such a revelation would be made as would astonish the country if they should be published; but we rather expect the showman alluded to would use them to black-mail the authors. He might make a handsome speculation in that way. The Radieals are trying to console them selves by asseverating that the eke tiorrof 1867 is like That of 1862. They profess to believe that they will recover the lost ground in 1863 as easily as they did in 186:1. They forget that they were then restored to power by the bayonet, by crushing out Democratic newspapers, by incarcerating Democratic or ators, by military tyranny and by fraudulent army votes. They have been defeated now by a great popular reaction which cannot and will not be checked. The great agencies which wrought the wonderful Change this fall will be more actively and efficiently em ployed front this day, until die election of a sound, Constitutional Union man for Presi dent seals the doom of the Radical Disunion is ts fdrever. Strange to say, Gor. Swami's terrible Maryland militia paraded at Baltimore on the Vith, and there -was not only no dis turbance whatever, but there was not the least attempt made. to march into Pennsyl vania to burn, pillage, and.scare our excite able Governor. A correspondent of For ney's Press,writing from Baltimore, says the Silt Maryland militia is mostly composed of returned Union soldiers, and that after the review of the 'irehel militia," (of which this regiment is a part,) it "marched through the streets cheering lustily for Congre•ss - Thad-, dews Stevens and Judge Bond." This is certainly a queer way to get np an army to invade the North, -more especially as the same Correspondent' says: "During , ' the review Gor. Swann was groaned by por tions ottwo or three loyal regiments." Some time ago a paper published at Cam den, Arkansas, inserted an article which dui not suit a certain Colonel Gilbert and portion of his command stationed there. The sol diers, headed by their officers, made an at! tack upon the office of the paper,-destroyed the presses, type, and other metals. Subse quently Colonel Gilbert used very bold and improper language in connection with that transaction, claiming that the army officers were not the servants, but the masters of the people. It will be retnembenal that General Ord, besides condemning in strong terms the conduct and language of Gilbert, ordered him to be tried for his offense ht' court-martial. We now learn that Gilbert has been eon vieted and sentenced to he tined - $l,OOO, to be reduced to die rank and pay of a captain, and to be put at the foot of the list of cap tains, numbering about fifty—thus placing him the lowest- in the line of promotion. This is a step in the right direction. The Democrats who did not vote hecau4o, they thought there was noihanee of electing Judge Sharswoood, were no doubt very agreeably disappointed, if they have heard the news; but their jov'must be mixed with bitter self-reproach and a feeling of shame at their faint-heartedness. They are wel cometo rejoice with those who helped to win the victory, however, and we hope they have learned a lesson which will - serve them for all time to come. It is the bounden duty of every Democrat to Vote at every election. Each one who professes the Wilt of, the glo rious old party, should he always ready to exert every energy he possessetu to secure the, triumph of its great priuMples Rain or shine, whether the election be for President or only for township officers, every. man of them should be at the polls on election day., The late election is a lesson to all ,sluggardS which we hope they will never forget. • The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says the " President re ceives the election news with quiet satisfac-. Lion. He regards the results of the erections as a verification of his of expressed confi dence in the ultimate wisdom of the people. The prognostications and assertions of out siders and quid nears, as to what Mr. John son will now do, and what helms said he would do, in view of the success of the Dem ocrats, are utterly unfounded, so Ihr a's the President's recent acts or words are concern ed. Mr. Johnson has not intimated to any one that his course would be affected by the result of the elections." We trust this state ment is correct, and that the President will have the good sense to possess his soul in patience. • The Democracy want no offices until they can obtain them from the people. Andrew John Son will .do well to "let well enough alone." At the election for Congte - ssmen in Ohio last year the Republicans carried!l6 out of the 19 districts in the State. The Democrats elected their candidates in the Fifth, Twelfth 'and Thirteenth districts—the latter by a ma jority of 2.71, which Columbus Delano, the defeated candidate, is now contesting. At the election on the Bth inst., the Democrats carried 12 out of the 19 districts, anti came within a hundred' of carrying two or-throe others. In the two districts carried by them last year, and not contested, the majorities increased from 2,652 t 6 5,264 in the Fifth dis trict, and from 3,210 to 6,002 in the Twelfth district, while in the Thirteenth, which is be ing contested,. the Democratic majority in creased front 271 tO 1,849. In every Repub lican district the majorities are cut down hit menscly. Congress now has a rommittee in Wash ington Mr the purpoe of inquiring whether Maryland has a republican form of Govern ment, Would it not.be well for the Commit tee to extend iheir inquiries toPennsylvania and Ohio, and see whether those States have a republican form of Govermncnt since the late election? California and Connecticut also need looking to, and after the sth of next November, New York Will require }heir attention. The established rule of their par tv is to declare every State which deal not give the Radical party a majority to be with out a republican form of government. As matters are now progressing, Vermont and one or two other New England States will soon be all there arc left which can receive their endorsement as being in the Union. ' It is - stated by the Washington correspon dents that the trial of Jelf. Davis will cer tainly take place at the November term of the I:nited States Court, which meets at - Richmond. Chief-JuStice Chase will endeav or to presick, hit it the term of the Supreme Court interferes with his presence in Itieh-- mond, counsel on both sides have agreed to argue certain legal points which will be raised betbre Judge Underwood, and if pos sible, carry them up - by writ of error to the United States Supreme Court. General Grant has issued another order looking to retrenchinent. He directs that all private buildings occupied in Washing ton by any bureau of the War Department, be vacated at once, and turned over to their owners. This will effect a saving of ninny thousand dollars per month. It i. said that since General Grant took hold of the War Department the retrenchment in expenses has been at the rate of five minions per an num. So much gained by kicking Stanton nut of office. Since the elections a general motement Ims taken phtee among the Radicals in favor of ,sleeting Grant a their ealididate till' the President•}•. A strong pressure is 'wing Made upon him for a letter clearly defining Lis views on .the pending important national questions. Such of his friends as are urging the writing and publication of a letter are confident that one will be forthcoming before the November election. The New York herald gives Us this spright ly paragraph: "Congressman Ashley,thc great impeacher, lets been signally rebuked by the people of his Congressional district in Ohio, and the Chevalier Forney, the Radical head manager of the Republican party in Philadelphia, has lost the State 'by turning over the city into the hands of the Democrats. Re had live thousand majority to play upon, 'and lost it all. These are instructive examples of Rad icalism rout to seed." Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, a sporting pa per issued in New York, has kept up a po litical column for the past six years, whirl' was tilled with the nus 4 intense abuse of the Democratic party, and its individual mem bers. As an indication of the signs of the times it now announces that its political col umn is abandoned for the future. The chang ing current of public opinion made such ti rades a losing investment, and good judg ment, as welt as good taste, demanded their otnissimt. The President has returned Gen. Sickles' application for 11 court of - inquiry to the War Department, with Ids disapproval and hi; reasons. therefor, the principal of which is that Gen. Sickles has already appealed for redress to the bar of public opinion, and if lie was to order a' court of inquiry it would simply be giving him another hearing. If not satisfied with the verdict of the 'public, the Presithinr intimates he may demand a court martial. Gen. Beauregard has applied to the Pre4: dent and General Grant for the restoration ~f certain lands owned him near:Memphis, These lands are occupied by the Freedmen's Bureau, and have been rented out lir tract ers of colored schools to the negroeit. is probable that the application will be granted. General B. had an interview with Gen. Grant on the subject. The Cleveland Plaindealer says that the Radicals voted over three hundred negmes in that city, and that at some of the polls white men had to stand back to allow ne groes to•vote. This so disgusted some of the Radicals, that they scratched "ves" off their amendment tickets and substituted "no." The streets nn election day were filled Wiql strange negroes who disappeared the next day. The Cincinnati Enquirer nominates Gem 11. Pendleton for,the next Presidency, and claims to speak for the Democracy of the Norm-west, in so doing. INVe suggest to the Enquirer that it is still. a year before the next Pre , ddent will be elected, and that there will he an abondanee of time tiie months hence to bring out a Democratic candidate. An aged Democrat of Concord, N. IL, who died recently, gave' strict orders bethre death that none hut Democratsi should °Mei,- ate as pall bearers at his funerid, and that no minister who Meddled sib politics Should conduct religions services over his remains. His «ishes were strictly carried out. A friend of (ten. (4rant asked him, in of the recent elections, what he now thought of his declaration, the will of fill' peon), was the law vi the land 1" He replied, "The people havevoken let them be obeyed.— Commerria!, Rod, The followirnr, is,an extract from a private letter lately written Ly Thad. Stevens,: " Sick as rain, I take this occasion to thank God for our late defeat. The Republicans have been acting a cowardly part,, and have met a coward's fate." • • Ben Wade is goin l g out of the Senate, .and they say" Browrilow is going in. It k the old story of one saran east out and one seven- Ames wonie returning'. In the Lour of triumph let the Democracy remember that a "victor? wisely usettis doub ly Won." Tut: FORTY-SECOND ANNITERSARY OF TUE AMERICAN SUNDAYI SCHOOL UNION, IN TUE AQADEIIY OF Mrsic.—The. festivities were presided over by Clad Justice Chasti, who made an admirable speech. The Academy' was crowded with a most appreciative •au (Bence, and a chorus of six hundred children san' with inspiring- effect, with their clear frtsirvoices'supported by a superb, reed Or gan, which was so ttnustially tine hat it de serves especial notice. We have never heard such a beautiful musical effect from so com paratively small 'aninstrument. We learn from the programme that it was one of the celebrated American Organs, manufactured by S. D. & W. Smith, of Boston, and can ap preciate the high praise which every one ac cords them. as they are. among the' very finest in AnteriCa. Sinith's Organs have a purity and volume of tone, really astonishing' for their size. ()tie of our first musicians said tO us, "The American Organs of Messrs Smith, are the most perfect 'and beautiful , I ever saw.
