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 :

Total 219 i Total li-0
By the above it will be seen that all
the Northern States, with the excep
tion of New Jersey and Nevada, have
voted on the side of the Republicans,
giving Garfield and Arthur 219 votes
in the electoral count, or 69 of a major
ity. 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.

NOTES OF THE ELECTION.
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.

Fair Election.
MIDDLETOWN, NOV. 1880.
MR. EDITOR :—We presume we have
had one fair election in old Concord
township. 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.

What Garfield's Election Means.
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.
