Pennsylcania and Ohio Elections for
State, District and County Officers, Tuesday
October 13th, 1868.
Tim Committee appoOted for that pur-
pose have called a session of Congress, to
meet on the 21st inst. More mischief is on
foot.
A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
The news from South America gives us
the details of one of the most horrible events
that has ocourred during the present centu
ry. On the 13th of August an earthquake
visited the cities on the coast of Peru and
Ecuador, involving the loss of 32,000 lives
.and the destruction of property valued at
three hundred millions of dollars. Arequi
pa, a city of 35,000 inhabitants, passed away,
and Arica; with its 25;000, is destroyed,
scarcely a vestige being left. Eight other
large towns are in ruins, and the site of Co
caquachi is now- ci vered by a lake. It is
impossible to add to the pathos of the mere
facts. In a few moments thousands of human
beings, of like passions and feelings and as
pirations with Ourselves, were snatched
away. Two United States vessels were lost
by being dashed uainst the rocks, and a por
tion of their crew.rwere drowned. The up
heaval of the earth caused the waters of the
Pacific to recede with such fbry that the ef
fects were felt as far - North as San Francisco
and the Sandwich Islands, in the shape of a
tidal wave which raised the ocean from ten
to fifty feet, according to locality. The
shock of the earthquake was felt, with more
or less severity, for six hundred miles along
the South American coast. - More than 300,-
000 persons remain without shelter and,with
out bread in consequence of this terrible
catastrophe, and with difficulty shall we find
in history an instance of a calamity which
has emliraced such an immense extent of
territory.
WILL SCQPIELD PLEASE EXPLAIN!
Mr. W. J. danker, formerly an employee
of Congress, has published a pamphlet ex
posing the fearful increase of abuse in the
"Contingent Expenses of the House of Rep
resentatives." He furnishes a statement
showing the amounts of those expenses for
the last five fiscal years, which we give be
low. During all the years named, Mr. Sco
field was a member of the House, and he will
probably condescend .to explain why it is
that in one item alone the expenses of that
body have nearly doubled within the last
four years:
A statement showing the Expenses of Me House
of Represeniatives for the years ending June
80, 1N4., 1865, 1866, 1867 and 1868:
Year ending June 30,1864, $353,630 00
Year ending June 30, 1865, 481,884 00
Year ending June 80, 1866, 462,438 00
Year ending June SO, 1867, 502,081 00
Year ending June 80,1868, 725,555 00
Additional compensation ; - 100,000 00
Total
.The details exhibit an extraordinary ex
penditure for particular items, whicli should
be investigated. As an instande: For the
second session of the Fortieth Congress the
whole amount of "stationary" would equal
an allowance of $320 to each member ; there
were OA% worth of pens for the House ;
the pen-knives amount to $5,020, equal to
fifteen knives at $23.50 for each member.
Among the articles, we find razors, soap,
perfumery, kid gloves, &c., &c., which the
faithful public servants appropriate to their
own use. All these perquisites are in addi
tion to the $5,000 a year that our Congress
men vote themselves for an average of less
than six months' service. How many of
these articles fell to Scofield's share, and to
what use has he placed them?
SCOPITILTI . OLIEL NATIONAL
In the carefully prepared speech which
Judge Scofield is deli Verine over the county,
he attempts to defend the National Bank
system on the ground that the banks return
to the Treasury as much money in the shape
of taxes as they receive for interest upon the
bonds which they hold. There is not a word
of truth in this plea, and it is of a character
with most of t3cofield's perversions. The
facts are simply these : The banks - have, say
$400,000,000 of bonds of the United States,
beating interest at 0 per cent. in gold. Upon
this is predicated their circulation. The
United States pay the banks $24,000000 in
gold as annual interest upon their bonds, or
$33,600,000 in legal-tenders; for What? Sim
ply to fbrnish to the people a circulating
medium. Now, if the Government would
call in their bonds, and issue greenbacks In
their place, they would save that $33,000,000
a year. As it would take the place of the
National 'bank circulation, it Would not in
crease the amount of the present currency
one dollar. It would be infinitely a better
currency, for what man does not prefer
greenback, which is a legal-tender for all
debts, to a National Bank note, which is not
a legal-tender for debts ? This $33,000,000 in
terest is, therefore, thrown away for nothing.
What taxation the capital in the banks
paVa it would pay anywhere, if it was em
barked in any legitimate business. We
wantonly throw away more than enough
money on these banks every year than would
suffice to maintain the whole army of the
United States if it-was reduced to the stand
ard in numbers which it ought to, and will
be, if the Democracy obtain power.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE IN VERMONT. ,
1. They have reduced the Radical majority
of 1864 by 2,133 votes, to wit ;
Radical majority In 1864, 29,098
Radical majority in 1888, - 26,965
2. As compared with the result of the
election of 18414 the Democrati have in
creased their vote by iO2, while the Radicals
diminished their's by 1,431, as witness here
with :

3. This last table further shows that the
Increase of the Democratic vote of 1868 over
that of 1864 is 51-3 per cent., while the de
crease of the Radical vot of 1868; as com
pared with that of 1864, is 3 2-5 per cent.

„ .
IN IT NOT TES FON. A 'Oil/Mc *1
-' Fifteen hundriA:millia7s of dollars have
been paid by the people t‘t the Government
of the United Statei since the war ended!
All the public buildings in the Union, from
the magnificent Capitol - at Washington to
the country court house's in all the States
have not cost so much money. It woald buy
the navy of *Spat Britain. It would lay a
pontocin bridge across the Pacific Ocean. It
Mould dig-down-and -cart-into the sea the
highest mountain iq America. It, would re
build Beeline, Persepolis or Palmyra. It
would buy a barrel of flour for every family
on the globe, and the quarter of it would give
a Bible apiece to the human race. This enor
mous sum is more than three hundred dollars
to every white voter in the United States. It
has been paid by the people. What has been
done with it?
Has the National debt been paid? Not It
is growing larger instead of stnaller. It drinks
up every year a sum greater than any admin
isttation ever cost. before the war, without
making the debt a dollar less.
Has it been . expended in compensitting
faithful Union men on the border for the
spoliations and impresements rendered nec
essary for the Union cause during the war?
No. The laws allowing the liquidation and
settlement of that part of the public indebt
edness exclude loyal men, even soldiers in
our armies, if they were residing within cer
tain States.
Has it gone to uphold civil authority in
these times of military vice—to strengthen
the law against the sword—to pay the ex
penses of administering justice by a benefi
cent judiciary? No.. The entire judiciary
flind is less than two millions of dollars. •
Has it gone to pay the expenses of the pos
tal service? That service supports itself sub
stantially, without a dollar out of the Treas
ury. It is not the courts nor the mails whose
blessings cost-the money.,
Is it any branch of civil service? The fig
ures show sums so inconsiderable for all the
expenses of carrying on-the Goverrrient, on
the basis of peace, for which governments
are made, that they leave the tremendous
sum of fifteen hundred millions almost unaf
fected, as a startling conception of quantity.
Whither has it gone?
Nearly two-thirds of it ($917,117,048) was
disbursed by the War Department, exclusive
of what was derived frdm the vast sales of
war material; of the known and unknown
millions poured forth from the department
of vagabondage ; of expenses of the navy,
and of everything else . , but strictly army ex
penses. Nine hundred millions to support
an army without a foe Each white voter in
the Union, as it were, paying $lBO for a ne
gro soldier to stand guard with his bayonet
over him and his vote
But it is not only that this prodigious sum
has gone to army account. — It ig morally cer
tain that most of it 'has been plundered. The
army is knowa to have been reduced imme
diately after the war, and is now set
down at 56,000 men. Before the war the
military establishment was, we believe, esti
mated at 27,000. The whole expenses of the
Buchanan administration for the last year
were r 0,000,000; while here, with an army
scarcely more than treble, the money swal
lowed up by it alone is nearly four times
greater than the whole expenses of the Bu
chanan administration, being at the rate of
nearly two hundred and eighty millions a
year. Is it not time for a change .9
THE NEGRO VOTE IN THE SOUTH.
The Netork Herald publishes a letter
from an int lligent Georgia correspondent,
showing that the negroes are deserting the
Radical party almost as rapidly as they at
first allied themselves with it. Ile claims
that this abandonment of the scallawags and
carpet-baggers is not confined to any partic
ular Southern State. It extends throughout
the entire - South. Louisiana:and South Car
olina have an overwhelming majority of reg
istered negro voters, yet the Deutocnetic
leaders there boast Unit they will carry both
States by decided majorities, in the event of
the people being allowed to vote. The Ala
bama Radicals admit that unless the Legis
lature casts: the electoral vote, they will be'
defeated,. 'Of Florida, 'Arkansas and North
CarollnObe same think can be said. "In
fact," says the writer, "if the carpet-bag Leg
islatures fail in their present efforts to choose
electors for the States they pretend to repre
sent, Seymour and Blair will receive the en
tire forty-seven votes they are fit - titled to."
$2,0°5,•588 00
These statements are fully sustained by
letters to the World and other papers, which
say that in several places, particularly in
Southern Georgia, where the negroes arc in
immense majorities as compared with tilt!
whites, the negroes are leaving the Loyal
Leagues and joining the colored Democratic
clubs, by hundreds. In Northern Georgia
the same change is taking place.' In Colum
bia county, where the negroes caul Radicals
swept everything at the recent elections, it
would be as hard to find a Radical negro as
it would be to find an honest man among the
carpet-baggers. In the cities and large towns
where the Bureau still flourishes, the negroes
are unconverted, sullen, turbulent and offen
sive, but in the • rural districts, where the
agents do not like to penetrate, Radicalism
is decidedly waning.
The editor of the Columbus Sun has been
shown a letter from Levi Floyd, Vice Presi
dent of the Colored Seymour and Blair club,
of Montgomery, Ala., addres,sed to Jefferson
Holbrook, President of the Seymour and
Blair colored club of that place, in which a
most glowing account of the doings of the
colored ~ men of Alabama is given. Levi
Floyd writes that everything Is, going on
well. He says the Slontgomery club num
bers 2,500 members, that the club at Mobile
has 1,500 members, that one recently organ
ized at Greenville Contains 800 members, and
that be has organized a club at 'Union
Springs with fins prospects of success. The
Bun calls upon the colored men of Gign'ffia
to go to work and emulate the example of
their brethren in Alabama.
THE CAMPAIGN OP , 55, TO BE RE.
PEATED.
The editor`bf the New York, Star, one of
the best politicians in the countk, after care
fully studying the temper of the. üblic mind,
comes to the conclusion that the indications
are growing strong 'that the Presidential
campaign of this year will cause as great a
political revolution as that of 1852. In 1848,
the Democratic party was badly beaten and
Taylor was elected President. The Whigs
thought they had a sure hold upon the Gov- ,
ernment, and In 1852 they nominated Gen
eral Scott, the hero of Lundy's Lane and
Mexico. When Scott was put upon the track
the Whigs were as confident of his success
as the Radicals now -- are of the success of
their hero. But the deep' under-current of
public opinion set in against the Whig party,
just as it is'now setting in against the Radi
cals.' The masses—the honest, hard-working
class—determined to curb the ambition of
the military hero then, just as they have-de
termined now. The consequence' was that
Scott received hardly enongh.ittitev to swear
by--he,was the worst beaten man that ever
ran for President. The Whigs were • dttmli,
founded at the result, and became so demor-=
allied that' the party split to pieces and has
never einee been heard ot Let tiny one ex
amine the signs of the times closely, and he -
will see a close analogy between the . present
campaign and' the one sixteen .years ago.
Thereis now a manifest reaction in public
feeling throughout the country. The -work
ing classes see that the only hope of the poor'
man consists in ousting from power the cor
morants who steal the people's money and
who run the Government in the interest of the -
bondholder and other capitalists.. 'hey
have become disgusted with the negro policy
of the Radicals, by which the latter have en
trenched thempelves in the Gtivernthent-ra
policy which feeds and clothes I* negri.es
at't e expsule of . loo worldng white men.
The noble stand which Gov. Seymour has
taken as„ th e friend of the people and the
,chimpien of labor, haa endeared him to the
working classes in every State of the, Union.
Men who work for their Hying know that
tho contest is between the Industrial Interests
of the country on one side, and The bond
holding, slioddyite interest on the other, and
they will vote accordingly, •
TILE OCTOIBUR ILLEORIONK
The. New York Herald. which is now sup
porting Grant Colfax, concludes that "the
coming October elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and lowa will virtually deter
mine the result of the Presidential election.
The hope of the Democratic party is in a
movement of the people of the Western and
Middle States for a change in the policy of
the government extensive enough to sweep
away all past Republican majorities and turn
the great States over to" the support of Sey
mour. In view of this expectUtion, the Her
ald recalls attention to the results in; 18G2,
when a similar reaction to that now prtdic
ted set in against the Republican party, on
account of Weir mismanagement of the war
and alleged official extravagance and cor
ruption. ,
"We find, then," says the Herald, "that
Vermont, which led off in the election of
1862, gave twenty-six thousand Republican
majority, being an increase over its majority
for Lincoln in 1860. Maine followed with
thirteen or fourteen thousand Republican
majority. But when the October elections
came, Pennsylvania, which had given Lin
coln sixty thousand majority two years be- 1
fore, turned over to the Democracy by near
ly four.thousand majority; Ohio changed its
twenty thousand for Lincoln into six• thou
sand for the Democratic ticket, and Indiana,
which had given Lincoln twenty-four thou
sand over Douglass, elected Democratic offi
cers by ten thousand majority. This was
the beginning of the revolution, and it was
followed by similar results in other great
States, so that, had a President been elected
in 1862, the Democrats Would have been suc

WHAT'S THE MATTERI
For the last week the Radical papers have
been publishing the following dispatch from'
Hon: G. 11. Pendleton, of Ohio, to Hon, Jno.
A. McClernand, of Illinois, and characteriz
ing the same as sounding the "key-note of
dispair" in relation to the coming contest:
"Just got home. The condition •of OA
canvass in Ohio is such that I withdraw all
my appointments in Illinois."
On Friday last the following dispatches
appeared in the editorial columns of the
Philadelphia Press:
CARBONDALR, Illinois, Aug. 243, 18438.
Hon. Gattutaha A. Grow :
Mr DEAR SIR :—Since my return from the
East, I find our people unwilling for me to

A NOVEL REASON.
Horace Greeley, the great Mogul of Radi-•
calism, in a speech s .delivered not long since
at Brooklyn, said:
"I ,Nirged men day after • day doting the
war to put their money into Government
bonds, and told them these bonds would be
paid in gold or its equivalent. Should they
not be so paid I would feel that I had been
a party to a'swindle and a trick."
The laboring men of the country are re
quired to devote one-half of their wages
every day to the payment of taxes, in order
that•the bondholder may receive pay for his
bonds in gold, because Horaco Greeley ad
vised a few shoddy contractors and cotton'
-thieves to invest their money in GovernMent
bOnds at fifty cents on the dollar, and _told
them they would be,paid in gold. If Greeley
guaranteed the payment of the bonds in
gold; the holders bad better sue him on his •
guarantee.
VVILL'RE RESIGN 3
In view of his being a‘ctindidate far Presi

Our Armies, the question is frequently urged
that it is time General Grant would consider

GOOD TIDINGS' FROM ILLINOIS
The Prospect Brightening Every Day
The election in Maim wuslield on IdOn
day, and the Associated Press has carried
out its .usiinl policy of misrepresenting the
result, so that it might look as favorable as
possible for the Radicals. The dispatches on
Tuesday morning alleged great Radice
gains, with a probable majority of 22,000 or
23,000. Our Radical brethren have been In
high glee ever since, never stepping to fn
quire intStlie proportionate vote of this and
previous years, and overlooking the ominous
fact that with a larger vote than was ever
before cast, even their own figures show a
loss of some five thousand in the majority.
Siuce Tuesday morning the telegraphic col
;Umna.of our two dailies have been suspic
iously quiet on the subject, the Associated
Press managers feeling abundantly satisfied,
wepresume, with the first false impreision
they gave to the public. The only telegram
the Dispatch contained on Wednesday was
one from Mr. Blaine, Chairman of the Maine
Radical State Committee, which was sent on
Monday night, and appeared in the Philadel
phia Press of Tuesday morning. The explan ,
alien of dog failure-to secure the latest re
turns may be found in the following tele
grams to the World and. other Democratic
papers in N. Y. city:
Ponms:xn, Me., Sept. 15.—Returns re
ceived from 212 tow - forgive 80,255 votes, and
a Republican majority of 13,315. The same
towns in 1868, the last test vote, gave 75,847;
and a Republican majority of 20,873, showing
a net Democratic gain of 7,558. About 200
towns remain to be heard frbm.
BANCIOI2, Me., Sept. 15.—The Republicans
of this city, including the Hon. 'Hannibal
Hamlin, are greatly discouraged at the result
in their State. They had confidently counted
on 25,000 majority for Chamberlain. Returns
received to-day indicate that it will not ex
ceed 15,000, which is a Democratic gain of
nearly 13,000 since 1866, the last test vote - in
the State. The Democrats throughout the
State are jubilant, it being conceded before
the election that anything less than 20,000
RepubliCan majority would be a Republican
defeat. For ten days before the election.the
Radicals freely bet on from 20,000 to 25,000
majority. Large sums of money have changed
hands to-day—the Republicans paying np
their debts. In the cities and a few large
towns, „where the Radicals hold. absolute
control of the polls, they made large gains
over last year, but the country towns gener
ally show large Democratic gains. The
Radicals have spent halt a million of dollars
in this election. Cues. W. ROBERTSON.
E. W. FLAGG.
The following has been the vote of Maine
at the important elections of the last twelve
years
1856 .
1864......__
1866......_.
It will be perceived that the average Radi
cal majority of the State has been in the
neighborhood of 23,000, which figure the
party leaders confidently expected it to reach
on Monday. In 1867, the vote of the State
fell oft 8,662 from that of 1866, while the
Radical majority was reduced to 11,342. The
explanation of this is thus given by the New
York Times, a paper whose authority ought
to be received without question by our Radi•
cal brethren, in an editiilial speculatingupon
the results of the late election, previous to
its occurrence :
"In 1866, the majority of the .11epublican
candidate for Governor was 27,248. Last
year this majority was diminished by nearly
16,000. But in regard to the Maine elections
in 1867, two things are to be considered. In •
the first place, the restrictive laws of the
State in regard to the sale of liquor, threw
over a large number of voters to the opposi
tion. Then, again, the , faet that there was
no election of Congressmen, made the elec
tion of less consequence, and the Republican
voters were as indifferent as they were in
other States.
"But in the present election all this will be
changed. The sumptuary laws of the State
lame been repealed, or In a great measure
relaxed. And, moreover, the people of Maine,
in this election, are to vote not only for Gov
ernor, but also for members of Congress and
for State Senators rind Representatives. The
interests involved are so important as to
bring out a rerypal role."
The opinion of the Times that a "very full
vote" would be cast this year is entirely ver
ified by the returns. The aggregate is larger
than was ever before polled, and it is clearly
to be seen that each party has got oat its
whole strength. Our brethren in Maine have
worked with no hope or expectation of suc
cess, but solely to show that the party is rap
idly "gaining, even there, thereby infusing
renewed courage into the hearts of their fel
low Democrats in States where the prospects
are.more cheering. They have done nobly,
and their encouraging example will inspire
our friends in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indi
ana to additional labors for the cause which
we all'hold so dear.

day's result is the election of 1806, the last
when each Oral , had its full vote out, and
the contest was fairly made upon National
issues. The vote this year will be increased
some ten or twenty thousand over 1866, and
-yet with this heavy vote, the Democracy
gain from eight to ten thousand in a State
Where we least expected such a result. If
our Radical friends can be pleased over such
figures they arc very easily gratified. The
vote'of Maine is some 120,000; that of Penn
sylvania about 600,000; and a similar pro--
portion will throw the Keystone State into , .
the arms of the Democracy by from 20,000 to
30,000 majority !
Hurrah, then, for Maine! Her Democracy
have shown us what we can do if we try ;
and their example is an inspiration to strong
er efforts forsuceess in October. ,

His speeches, always argumentative, are de

Since writing my last letter, our Republi
canfriends, relying upon . the popularity .4at*
Ulysses, have made a vigorous attack upon
J. A. Pain, Esq., editor of the Corry Tele
graph, acid arc trying to run him out of the
Republican party. This. quarrel has 'long
been brewing between the two rival factions,
as to who should control the party in Corry.
Under Mr. Pain's policy, the Republicans
used to carry our city by about 250. majority,
butunder the new management the aforesaid
Majority has disappeared, and that
. forever.
Of course, we Democrats like the new man
agernent best, and say, "Lay:on Mtteduff.l
The Cony Republican, in Saturday's issue,
comes out with the following resolution of
the Grant elubi'
"We, the, undersigned, legal Republican
voters of the city of Corry, do hereby express
our unqualified,disapproval of the political
Course taken by the editor of the Corry Tele
graph,'and we do most earnestly request Jas.
A. Pain, editor of said paper, to haul down
the names of the Republican nominees at the
head of his columns, as we believe -his' late
teachings disgrace the party he represents."
This is signed by 116 names, and,considcr
ing that the heading reads;"thetmderslgned,
legal voters of the city of Corry," must be
highly amusing to Pain, especially that part
where the two parsonsconie in, one of whom
has just moved from Ohio to this State, and is
not a voter here. Our conjecture is, that the
reverend gentleman has been victimized by
some over ,anxious participant in the row,
and did noLuotien pirrlcUlarly wbat iie, Nitts
signing. We Tope soy for he certainly has
the appearance of being too much of a gen
tleman to sign a libel on one of our old citi
zens, of whani he knows comparatively very
little. It is, however, a pretty little muss,
and it is probable there will be considerable
mud thrown, as Pain is not made up of .the
right kind of material for drising, being in
the habit of running his own husiness to suit
himself.
Business in Corry is rapidly improjing,
and our streets present a much liveliet ap
pearance than one year ago. Our merchants
are all doing a better and more thrifty busi
ness. Our mechanical institutions, likewise,
arc doing exceedingly well, wlth'a fair pros
pect of new ones opening soon. The direc
tors of the driving park are pushing the work
forward as rapidly as passible, and its com
pletion is expected by the 20th of October, at
least. We understand that most of the stock
has been :subscribed for putting down an oil
well in Corry. As this . territory has never
been fully tested, there will be much curios
ity-to know what thinerid treaaires mother
Earth has for us at a distance of one thOtf

there is but little to report. 'Peace and quiet

Editor Opserrer:—To-day was a glorious
occasion for the Democracy. Notwithstand
ing the unfavorable aspect of thp weather,
long before the hour of speaking,, the hard
fisted yoemanty came pouring into town, in
spired with a zeal for the cause of truth and
justice seldom witnessed in ,this portion of
the County—demonstrating conclusively that
the people are thoroughly, aroused upon the
vital issues at-stake in the present campaign.
They came to hear the Truth, and were not
disappointed. Col. J. Ross Thompson, of
your city; led off in a fine speech, which
awoke the good feeling of all present. The
exercises °filo day were concluded by the
speech, of Wm, A. Galbraith, who, in his
usual masterly manner of dealitiv, with the
political questions of the day, elicited , the
best of attention. The speakers were enthu
siastically applauded, and made many friends
by their gentlemanly manner of discussing
those questions which immediately interest
the people's welfare—free from .billingsgate
and trashy stories, confining themselves to
facts that cannot be controverted, except by
misrepresentation.
_The Democracy may
congratulate themselves' on the success of
their efforts, as being another step to
wards success, and-the removal of bad men
from power. Democrats of
° Erie county, put
your shoulders to , the wheel, and victory is
ours! DEVOCRAT.

complaint with sufferers from chills and fe

them permanent relief., But it Is a gross error
for any such to think ,that they are Incura

up this distressing disease and drive it out of
the system forever. Xishler's Herb Bitters
is a specific for this disorder, and while it Is
harmless and effectual, (which is not the case
with quinine) it also acts gently on the ner
vous organization of the system, and is very
pleasant to the taste. It is a nervine and
specific for all nervous ailments and contains
nothing nauseating, and its effects upon inter

is frequently paralyzed and the color de

hair can be restored to its original color, and
where it has fallen off a new growth can be
