BUTLEK CITIZEN. JOHN H. L W. C. ME6LEY. PROP-RS. Entered aTthe Postoffice at Butler as Becond-cIaBBB matter. _ WADE HAMPTON fulfilled his con tract, and gave the 138 votes of the Solid South to Hancock. THE Republican majority in the State of lowa is 80.000. Of the nine ty-nine counties in the State but four gave majorities to Hancock. JAMES CAMPBELL, ESQ., of Green ville, Mercer county, was in town last Thursday attending to some business. Hisfriendshere,and about Martinsburg, his former home, are always pleased to see him. He still enjoys robust health, and is actively engaged in bus iness at his new home in Greenville. AMONG the gains to the Republi cans in the Congressional delegation of this State is that of Gen. Jacob M. Campbell in the Cambria, Somerset, Blair and Bedford district, who beats Gen Coffroth, the present Democratic member. Gen. Campbell is a good man and his many friends rejoice at his return to Congress. THE loss of Gen. Harry White for Congress in the Armstrong, Indiana, etc., district, is very generally regret ted by the Republicans of the State. It was the only unexpected reverse in the Congressional delegation of the State. Gains were made in two other districts, making the next delegation in Congress from this State to stand 18 Republicans to 9 of all other shades in politics. AMONG the results of the late elec tion we notice with much pleasure that of the Hon William D. Brown, of Warren, Pa., as President Judge of, the Judicial district of which Warren county is a part. No truer, nobler man exists in the State, and as a law yer he has always had front rank in the profession. We congratulate Judge Brown on his election and predict for him a successful career on the Bench. NEW YORK. The fuss made by the Democrats, about the result of the election in the State of New York, must certainly be intended as a scare, or to let themselves down easy. We have been unable to to discover any real ground for a charge of fraud that would overcome some 20,000 of a Republican majority. And as to obtaining the vote of the State on any mere technical ground, or irregularity in manner of voting, Gen, Hancock himself has given notice that he would not accept the vote of the State on such ground. RESULT —GARFIELD ELECTED. The following is the result of the Presidential election, by the Electoral vote to which each State is entitled : Whole Electoral College 369 Hancock hu *SO Garfield's majority over Hancock HOW THEY VOTED.

The States going with the Dem ocrats, are the entire Southern ones, having 138 electoral votes, to which are added the Northern ones of New Jersey, 9, and Nevada, 3, making 12, which with the 138, make the whole number for Hancock and English, 150. Since the above was written the latest news from California indicate that State as very close, requiring the official count to decide. Should it be for Hancock, his electors, would then be 156, and Garfields 213, leaving a majority for Garfield of 57. THX POPULAR VOTE. The popular vote, it is pretty cer tain, will also be on the side of the Republican candidates, which is a source of satisfaction, as it gives assu rance of an acquiescence in the result by the Democrats. Four years ago their chief cause of complaint was that Tilden had a majority of the popular vote over Hayes. Now it looks as if that ground of complaint will not ex exist. The electors of the different States meet at their State Capitols next month, December, and cast their votes. These are sent to Washington, and opened in the presence of both Houses of Congress in February next, and the result then officially declared. After which, on the 4th of March following, eomes the Inauguration into office of the new President and Vice President. And thus commences a new Adminis tration, with James Abram Garfield at its head. CONGRES3 — HOW IT BTANDS. The present Congress in Democratic in both branches, Senate and House. Its term expires on the 4th of March, next. Republicans have secured the Legislatures of enough of the States in which United States Senators are to be elected this winter, as to change, or at least to tie that body. Present appearances indicate 38 Senators on «ach side, which may make the cast ing vote of the new Vice President verv important on many occasions. THE HOUSE. The present House has a Democrat ic majority of some 15 to 20. The next or new one it is claimed will be Republican and stand as follows : Republicans 14t> Democrats 141 Greenbacks -------- 6 Some Republican figures make the the Republican majority as high as 11. In Pennsylvania there is a gain iu two districts and a loss in one (Gen. White's), making a net gain of one. THE STATE.* In Pennsylvania the Republican majority will reach about thirty-five thousand for the Garfield electors and Auditor General and Supreme Judge. The Legislature will also be more largely Republican than the present one, an apparent majority of 50 being obtained. This secures the election of a United States Senator in place of Wallace, Democrat. RUTLER COUNTY—OFFICIAL MAJORITIES.

WARREN, 0., November 7. —Mr. P. W. Sutliff, of this city, is waiting for the fulfillment of a singular wager with which he made with Attorney Sutliff, of Wheeling. The latter is a Democrat and the former a staunch Iledublican. They made a bet in Sep tember as follows: Should Hancock be elected, Mr. Sutliff, of Warren, was to purchase the best hat that could be found in the city of Warren and car ry it on foot to Mr. Sutliff in Wheeling; and should Garfield be elected, Mr. Sutliff, of Wheeling, was to perform the same conditions. Mr. Sutliff is waiting very patiently in the county seat of Trumbull county for the Wheel ing attorney to notify biui that he has started, bearing the precious freight. STRAYED OR STOLEN —"A Tariff for revenue only." Colonel James G. Fair, who is con testing the United States Senatorship of Nevada with Senator Sharon is of Irish birth, and is 49 years old. While a boy he lived in Illinois, and at 18 went to California, and in time be came a superintendent of mines. In addition to his fortune made from the Big Bonanza mines he owns nearly 100 acres in various parts of San Francis co. He suffers from rheumatism. He is of medium height and heavy, With a large beard streaked with gray. LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA. SAN FRANCISCO, November fi. —Bet- ting men here are greatly excited over the closeness of the vote in this State. Large sums were wagered on the re sult, and bets were that Hancock would carry the State, or vice versa. It is now remembered that one of the Democratic electors, David S. Terry, the man who killed Brod rick in a duel, was badly scratched in this city. He ran behind 193, and about 57 in Aluic do county, or perhaps 100 in the en tire State. This insures the election of one Republican elector, even if the Democrats secure the remaining five, because the leading man on either ticket will not have more than 100 majority. The latest count makes Garfield hundred and fifty ahead, and the Republican State Central Com mittee now think that their ticket will pull through by a very slight majori ty, so slight it will require the official figures to determine to whom the State belongs. The Democrats are re ceiving no dispatches, and seem rath er apathetic about the matter. Repub licans are now sure of a majority of nine on joint ballot in the State Legis lature. TENNESSEE. The Republicans have elected their Governor in Tennessee, a very unusu al occurrence. There were two Dem ocratic candidates, divided on the ques tion of paying their State debt. And hence the election of a Republican. INDIANA. In this State, which was the source of so much anxiety to both parties be fore its October election, the Garfield Presidential electors have just about the same majority now in November as the Republican State ticket had for Governor in October, thus showing it to be a Republican State in fact. THE Titusville Herald gives the number of completed wells of October at 339 ; producing 8,351 barrels; new drilling wells 388, new rigs up and building 388, dry holes 8. Compared with September operations there is a slight falling off in development. Already there is speculation as to President Garfield's Cabinet. Western Pennsylvania should unite upon a man aud urge for a seat in the same. z W» tßßfl* "The Stat3 of Allegheny." The Pittsburgh Dispatch announces the existence of a club in that city call ed the "Secession Club," which favors the division of Pennsylvania into two States, the western half of which is to be called the "State of Allegheny Numbers of "private citizens" are also said to be interested in the project, and have expressed an earnest desire for its success. The scheme has gone so far that the boundary line of the new State has been fixed Beginning at the New York line at the eastern limit of McKean, in nearly the centre of the present map of the State, it is to run more or less zig-zag, always res pectin? the present county lines, until it strikes the Maryland border, taking in on the way McKean, Cameron, Clearfield, Blair. Huntingdon and Pul ton counties, and leaving therefore to Pennsylvania for its \\ estern frontier the counties of Potter, Clinton. Centre, Miffiin, Juniata and Franklin Alle gheny would thus be made to include 28 counties, which, according to the unofficial returns of the recent census, have a population of 1,454,196, or about one-third of ihe present popula tion of the undivided State. The above project would meet with genera] favor in Western Pennsylva nia. There is little business interest or sympathy between the Eastern and Western parts of this State. The State of Allegheny would be a great convenience. What Does It Mean? NEW YORK, NOV. 4 —At the meet ing of the Democratic State Executive Committee this evening the following preamble and resolutions were unani mously adopted : WHEREAS, It appears that at the re cent election in this State, a vote has beeu cast in certain localities in excess of the legal vote as determined by the recent census taken under the direc tion of the general govtrnment; there fore Resolved, That it is the duty of the several committees of this State, and they are hereby requested by the State committee, to exam ne such census re turns and make comparisons with the votes recorded as having been polled in the various districts of their county, with a view of ascertaining the fraudu lent vote in this State, and forward immediately the result of such exami nation to W. A. Fowler, Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Com mittee, at New York. The unaccount able increase in the Republican vote iu New York and Kings counties, and the plain evidences of fraud in such vote, demand immediate investigation on the part of the respective Demo cratic organizations in the State. Resolved, That all citizens of this State in each and every locality who favor the right of the people to popu lar government, and who believe a fair vote and honest count essential to the perpetuation of our institutions, are requested to aid by all means in their power the ascertainment of this result. Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be fowarded to every Demo cratic organization iu the State. All kinds of startling rumors were set afloat to-day in regard to some surprising action to be taken by Dem ocrats on the National and State Com mittees, intended to prove fraud on the part of the Republicans in New York State, more especially in the border counties and in New York cjty and Brooklyn Members of the National and State Committees were very inys terious, but admitted some action would certainly be taken, and that promptly. The State Committee held a meeting aud issued the foregoing. Politics and Roal Estate. Yesterday the result of brief confer ences with iron men were given, bear ing on the result of the elections as af fecting iron. To-day several gentle men conversant with the real estate business were questioned on the same basis. The replies go to show that real estate is quicker to feel the result of a decisive ending of political strife than is the iron industry. Col. W. A. Ilerron and his succes sor in the real estate business, Mr. John Ilerron, were both visited. They were emphatic in their views and gave the following information : "Real estate has been improving for some months, slowlv, but surely, it is true, for the past six months, but this week's elections have given property a sudden impetus. We have discover ed this in actual transactions, not only in buying, but selling during the past two or three days. A number of would-be buyers have deferred making important purchases during the past few months, giving all sorts of of rea sons for their procrastination, but not the real one. We know now that they have been waiting for the second of November and its results. We know of at least one heavy transaction in coal lands in Fayette county, where the terms were conditional upon the election of Garfield. That is to say, the whole bargain was to be "off' in case Hancock was elected. The first payment, SIO,OOO, is in all probability already made. We do not care to give the names, but the purchaser means business. Other instances of a mujh healthier state of the real estate market are not wantiflg. One of us yesterday closed a bargain for city property that last week hung fire. We could give a list of sales at advanced figures over those of a month ago, but summed up the advance that can be set down to the credit of the election result may be placed at about 10 to 15 per cent. Other dealers not only agree with the above views, but gave the advance as being fully 25 percent in some class es of city property within the past week. — Piltsburgh Telegraph. To tho Editor.

The Democrats set forth to the Court that it was a necessary precaution to secure the purity and fairness of election of Concord town ship. Overseers of election were there fore appointed aud regularly installed in their office A desperate effort was made by the Democrats to have things run just right, and becoming satisfied that all was safe, and the polls being closed, they left the thing in the hands of their overseer and went home. After they were all gone he became very tired aud lay down and betook himself to sleep. The balance of the board went on in the discharge of their duty as usual and we presume we have had one fair election. As our township was the only township in the county, we believe, that yvas provided with over, eers, and oue of them fast asleep, we presume that a man fast aaleep is not verv well qualified to discharge the duties of a swovn in officer to oversee the election. But there was one thiug he was very good at: he was good enough to insult an old citizen af ter partaking of a free lunch provided by blin. The old citigen had provided a free lunch for tho board and took it to them, and while yet there some dis patches from other districts came and he desirous to see them, went up to the table aud asked the other overseer if he might see them, and they were politely handed to him, but before he had time to read them the Democrat overseer informed the constable that the table would have to be clearedj there was too many men about it. The old man left without making any reply, knowing that disp- tches were very likely to be irritable after eating hearty of pie and sweet cake. SPECTATOR. Lost, Strayed, or Stolen. A Solid South ; what has become of it ? The great venture of the Demo cratic party has been completely de feated by the logic of events. When the leaders of the party met in Cin cinnati, the world was all before them, where to choose ; they were as free from committal as if they were new' born from the womb of the whirl-wind. Wade Hampton arose in that august assemblage and promised to the party which he represented one hundred and thirty eight Southern votes, an' 1 , ac cepting that assurance, the Democ racy went out to battle. By so i]oi:ig it fathered the Solid South. It fathered the principle of secession ; the princi ple of States Rights; the black curse of slavery. What has been the effeci ? The Dem ocratic party is not simply defeated. It is buried so deep beneath the major ities of the loyal North that the most devoted archtsologist will scarcely take the pains to exhume it and all the companionship it finds is that of the defeated Confederate, its chosen all}' in its work of disintegration.—E.s. A Losing Joke. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said jokingly to a Irnly patient who was complaining of her continued ill health, and of bis inability to cure her, "try Hop Bitters!" The lady took it in earnest and used the Bitters, lrom which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him a good patient.— Harrixburg Patriot. The Value of Gats. "The harmless, necessary cat" is not so well treated as it deserves. One rarely considers, remarks a contempo rary, that a well-kept cat may be more profitable than a cow. If one rat per day is destroyed the services of the cat may be estimated as at least equal to SIOO per year. Let us try to calcu late the enormous damage done by three hundred and sixty-five rats iu one year, to say uothing of the numer ous progeny of so many vermin. One rat per day is a moderate amount of business for an active cat. Recently the writer counted five rats captured in a stable by one cat one day, and possibly others were not seeu. The cat, being well fed, hunted for amuse ment, and did not eat the prey. This is the principal point in the manage ment of a cat. It should be well and regularly fed, for rats are unwhole some food. They are infested with larvaj of tape worms, and cats are fre quently tormented with the mature parasite in consequence of devouring diseased rats. When kept from hun ger, a cat will watch more patiently and will only occasionally devour a rat or a mouse. A Big Success. '"My wife bad been ailing a long time with dyspepsia and nervousness ami was in bed two years with a complication of disorders her phy sicians could not cure, when I was led by read ing a circular left at my door to try Parker's Ginger Tonic. Having been so often deceived by worthless mixtures, nothing but my wife's dangerous condition could have led us to make any more experiments. But it was a big suc cess. Three bottles cured her, at a cost of a dollar and fifty cento, and she is now as strong as any woman, and regularly does her house hold duties.—R. D., Buffalo. See other calumn. A successful trial of England's new 100-ton gun was made September 22. Loaded with 441 pounds of pebble powder (in cubes of inch) it drove a 2,000 pound projectile 45 feet into a sand butt. The velocity of the projec tile was 1,506 feet a second.

LONDON, November 4. —ln continu ation of its vieiys on the Presidential election, tho Daily Telegraph says : The success of the Republican candi date presages not only a continuation but a further extension of that pros perity which 83t in two years asro up on the other side of the Atlantic and the influence of which is largely felt by these islands within their own con fines and also throughout the rest of of the empire The probabilities are that the next struggle for power will be between t{ie united free traders of the south and west on the one hand and against the eastern protectionists on the other. In the opinion of far sighted men upon both sides of the Atlantic, it is impossible for that mo mentuous issue to be much longer de layed The Manchester Guardian, the most influential representative of the pro vincial press, coincides with the Lon don papers on the decisive result of the election, leaving no oponlng lor disputes. It says: "There seems to bp no v-eason why, if Democrats do Rot change their tactics, the Republicans should not hold office for auother twenty years. Probably the former would do well to let the question of State rights drop as far as possible in to obscurity. It behooves them to find another rallying cry. This may event ually be furnished by free trade, which a succession of bad harvests or thp gradual exhaustion of the soil may bring into the range of practical poli. tios. There is no possibility of a mod. iflcatlon of the tariff, at least for four years. There is, however, some con solation for this in the fact that Re publican policy is otherwise friendly to England." "Can dogs find their way home from a long distance?" says an exchange. It's according to the dog. If it's ono you want to get rid of, ho can find his way home from California. If it's a good one, h-i's apt to get lost if he goes around the corner.
