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.

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. Milt, En., 211 Month-Birth rt.,
Philadelphia :—ln reply to your letter of
October 12, received yesterday, General Grant
directs me to send you the following copy Of
a telegram just received ftom the command
ing officer of Fort Delaware
FORT DRLAWARE, Oct. 14,1867.
General E. Lk Totrimend, Assistant - Adja
tant General :-1. was in Philadelphia when
the el , etion occurred here. Colonel How
ant, who was in command, reports that a
eitizttn presented himselt here with a :com
mission from Hoyernor Geary, under the
seal of Pennsylvania, appointing him tip take
the votes of Pennsylvania soldiers at this
host. Colonel Howard told him that he was
under the impression that such an election
vas not leg,al. But as the man had a coin-
Mission f=ont Governor Geary, he allowed
him to talte the votes. 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.
It is said only thirty-three (3,3) votes were
polled, while over one hundred (100) were
returned. No officers were 'concerned one
way or the other in this eleiaion.

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.
Thu vote is the heaviest ever east in the'
State, rind the Radical , : cannot, in gnsc
rooned, make the allegation they do in this,
State, that their defeat is owing to the ab
sence of so many. of their supportera from
the polls.' The majority against the negro
suffrage amendment is overwhelming—so
large, in . fact, that nobody seems to care
'about taking the trouble of adding- the fig
ures, to see what the exact number is. The

TILE Nc w York Tribune pays Senator Wal
lace a well deserved coniplitnent by saying,
editorially, that the victory in this State is
greatly due . to his energy and ability. lie
made no noisy show in the campaign, but his
influence nni everywhere potently felt in
•completing the, organization of the party. Hu
has made a most efficient Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, and
we all feel that the great campaign of nest
year will he ably and successfully conducted
by hint..—Loneaster Intelligeneer. .
We happen to have been placed in a posi
tion for the last two years where we had a
thorough opportunity to learn Mr. Wallace's
qualifications, and can most heartily add our
testimony to' the above. His energy and
earnestness in the last campaign were re
markable, and (lid as much towards winning
our victory as all other causes combined. The
Democrats of Pennsylvania owe Mr. Wallace
a debt of gratitudi3 which they will he untrue
to themselves if they do niit embrace the first
opportunity to repay. •
THE Radicals of this :vicinity are all en
deavoring to console themselves with OM . be
lief that they can retrieve their defeat in the
State in the next campaign. " Wait 'till next
yt;a-t,' they say, " we'll show you whether our
party is dead pr not." Well, gentlemen, we
arc perfectly willing to wait, if you ail!. And
if we don't give you the severest drubbing
that you have ever hail, it'll not be because
we shan't try our hardest.
POLITICAL SUMMARY.
Ben. 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:

towns of tlMt State. They hare gained over
twenty towns this fall.

The declaration last week of lion. Mont

contradiction of the statement. In this they
failed, and the failure has given• great com
fort to the Chase interest, which believes Mr.

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

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

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

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."
