SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.
The recent ejection, held in the State
of North Carolina, resulted in a victory
for the Democracy. They darried five of
the seven Congressmen; and elected,
perhaps, as many as two-thirds, of the
.Stato Legislature. Unfortunate as this
result is for the , State itself, wo believe
it will prove beneficial, ultinfately, to
the Republican Party. With 'the sup:
pression of the.roballion, and the enfran
chisement of the colored people many of
our leaders wore inclined to fold their
arms, and dream of an eternal lease of
power, without effort, or without further
merit than that which attached to dit
ties already performed. This would
have brought disaster and defeat. No
party can exist which rdlibs for,success
On the memory of past deeds, or has no
better platform than the weakness or
misdeeds of its defeated rivals. Con-
Stant effort is the price - of succes in
polities, and in all things ; and when
ever victory seems assured at the begin
ning of a contest, both loaders and eel-.
diors aro prong to sleep on their posts.
The assumed certainty that the South
, ern States would be sure for many)mars
to vote solidly for Republican candidatei,
was a source of more danger to our par
ty, than was the most formidable efforts
of the enemy.
For our success, the Southern Stites are
neither' necessary nor desirable. The
--tlrst—Republicitn—majority—inCongress
was made when the party had no‘oYist
enee South of Mason and' Dixon's Line,
and when the whole patronage and pow
er of State and National Governments
were wielded vigorously against it. The
second time we succeeded in electing a
• Congress, the circumstances :were simi
lar. When Abraham Lincoln was chos
emPresident, it was without. a party in
the South, and in the face of threatened
dismemberment and revolution. We
never had more glorious triumphs than
these, nor are such shown in the history
of political parties. With vigorous ef
fort they can be achieved again. When
we won thorn before we were without a
history, without experieneb, without ser
vice to the country; with nothing to
commend us but the inherent righteous
ness of our principles. We have now to
point to the rescue of a nation from dis
memberment; the freedom of a race
from slavery ; the extension of our coun
try's boundaries, and the prosperity of
our people, as the sure evidences of our
fitness for power, and the- honesty and
patriotism of our purposes . .
The disorganized condition of the
Southern States renders them a pecu
liarly, undesirable acquisition for any
' political party.. They are impovef
ished by the war, flooded with adven-
turers who have made failures in bus
ness and ,politics at the North, and who
have sought that field to retrieve their
lost fortunes, and vanquished rebels,
whose bitterness finds vont in deeds of
violence and blood. Those who are on
&listed with the government of such
communities-must become involved in .
many difficulties, and be chargeOvith
many things for ivkich they are no wise
responsible. The poverty of the comb,
try, the disorder, crimes and general de
moralization which abound, will be at
tributed to the government, and not to
the antecedent causes, which really pro
duced this trouble. Years must elapse
' before quiet and prosperity will bo known
in the South. We need not desire the
responsibility and dangor which at
tend tho administration of the South
ern State Governments, nor can we pos
sess them without peril to our entire
party.
Our true 'policy is to make no extraor
dinary efforts to ro-gain our lost strength
in the Southern States. Time and the
iniquities that are suro'to be perpetrat=
by the rolail Democracy, who have re
gained power there, will domore for us
than any efforts of our own, that aro
possible now. The Republican patty
has its best "and surest growth in States
where the public sentiment has been ed
ucated to respect law and order. There its
success has always been assured, and will
always &salmi°. It can safely trust its
fortunes wherever people know and ap
preciate the'value of good government.
Then let us Waste no time in lamenting
our revertes at the recent elections, but
turn, in full confidence, to the States,
which, under Republican rule, rescued the
government from treason, and achieved
victory on the fields wherever our earli-
ost and greatest triumphs wore won
COL. A. K. MCCLURE/ is out in a long
letter on Legislative reform, which con

basis of Mr. McClure's scheme of refer=

es no one except a lot of very respectable,
but somewhat verdant Democrats, who,
believe that the politicians of their party
aro men who deal fairly in politics, encl.
carry out the spirit as.,well as the letter
of ,a bargain. No man over had a show of
beating Mr. Haldeman for the nomination
from the first Ho alone of, all: the can:
didatee, was in league with the trading
politicians of the district,. and they, and
not the people, do the nominating in the
•
•
Democratic party.
Mr. Haldeman received his first nomi
nation because Cumberland county was
entitled to the candidate, and had elected
conferees who -were favorable tb
How he carried the first conyontioe need
not now be told. Republicans suspect
pretty strongly what minute wore used)
but Democrats know all about it. To
prevent a recurrence of the very .same
thing, the Crawford county system was
adopted, and our Democracy fondly
imagined they had put an and to the"
operations_ of. ono whom_they-regarded
as all interloper, and without claim to
their support. They were, however,.
sadly mistaken. It is true they repudi
ated him overwhelmingly. JO= Mr.
Haldeman appealed to the party of his
own county for an endoriernent, it was
refused, and he cattle out of the contest
defeated ignominiously. He has no
claim to the nomination in the district.
The other counties fronnhe first con
ceded the candidate to Cumberland, and
Cumberland declared against Haldeman
by a vote of more than three to ono.
But In spite of this direct repudiation by
the_people_oLltis_own_county„aneLwe_
believe he would have been repudiated
almost as decidedly in the other.oiticties
of- the district had a direct vote been
taken, we find him again the nominee of
the party.
To us the, whole performance looks
Democratic decidedly. Their politicians
have been always, consistently, dishonest
and treacherous, and their action,in this
matter is about a repetition of what they
have done in every closely contested
nomination within our recollection. They
pretend great deference to the wishes of
the people, but they never allow that to
interfere with any arrangement which
will - secure to them a distributive share
of political plunder. They find .out ex
actly what nominations will be most ad
vantageous to 'themselves, and those are
made at all hazards, and on the principle
that the end justifies.the means. And
they can do this with impunity. Nomi
nations are always supported. The party
obeys its leaders and ratifiestheir:ictions,
no matter how greatly they have abused
its confidence. And so it may be again,
The' majority of the party in the district
aro indignant at the present nomination;
but will they have the courage to do
nounce:_itl Wo fear not. They will
denounce what they call the trickery
and dishonesty of Republicans, and will
then tamely vote the ticket. We wonder
how long the solid mon of the party can
be kicked by the adventuress, without
kicking in return. Iti,taa been for years,
and may be forever.
Wa call attention to .tho proceedings
of the Convention hold hero on Monday,
and which are published in. another
column. The Convention was a full one,
and the delegates were of the most
. 'earnest and devoted• Republicans in the
county. The ticket nominated is unex
ceptionable in all respedts, and will com
mend itself to the favorable consideration
of every one. There is not a man on it
who is not worthy the support of every
good man in the county. In our next
we shall allude to the character and
qualifications of each of tho candidates.
We now owe it to ourselves, the interests
of the county, and the candidates, that
we go to work earnestly to secure their
°Motion. The Convention did its full
duty in making good nominations, and.
wo begin tho campaign under the most
favorable circumstances. Success isinot
only possible, but is assured, if wo go to
wpkic 'earnestly.
OM: of the rules adopted for the con
ducting of the recent Democratic pri
mary election was, "that no negro should
be allowed to vote." This was within
the power of those who managed the ma
chine of course, but the exercise of it
was a piece of 'miserable doniagogism,
even for Democratic politicians. We
venture the assertion that there isn't
Democrat on the county ticket who
would not secure his election, if it becomes
necessary, by walking: arm in arm to the
polls with the darkest colored man in the
county, nor „is there one of them who
would not chuckle more over the gain
ing-of the colored vote Of the Democracy,
than they would over the conversion of
an equal number of white men. Now, ,
gentle Men, please confine yourselves
to using none but fair means to
eb
cure colored votes this fall, and we will
give you credit, cheerfully, for consist
ency. at least.

CARLISLE JAIL, August 12, 1870,
MESSIIB. EDITORS.—You copied in
your paper, an article from the" Balt
imore San," headed : "Official record of
the crimes of Paul Schmppe, in Prussia."
The ootsct of that artiele makes it al
most superfluous to me to Say a word
against it. The news reported there
are purported to be "transmitted to the
eventors in Baltimore, of the late Miss
Jtfas is Stinneeke."• Until now it alviays
was said that the Commonwealth ofPennA
. .sylvania,.had..proaecuted me _for_an_al
legal crime. By the last article of the
"Baltivore Sun," I am at once, quite
publicly informed, that I was greatly
mistaken in taking the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania as my only prosecutor,
and that there is a private party in Bal:
.timoro, who, by all means possible, en
deavor to put me out of the way. "This
private party is represented in the. arti
cle"ortliO"Baltimore Sun, - by ''the 'ex
ecutors of thenlate Miss Maria Stinnecke"
who, of course, act in the name of the
heirs to the first will of the late Miss
Stinnecke. My odious presence here on
earth seems to be to those people a con
stant reproach in the arrogated posses
sion of the estate of the deceased. This
fact makes-it—as I already said—almost
unnecessary to say a word in regard to
the 'charges made against me by tit
party. • Every sensible man can easily
see the design of Bitch cowardly attacks,
and take that article for what lids worth.
But as there may be some persons who
aro not quite familiar with the circum
stances of my case, I deem it my duty
to make some statements here. Against
a private party I have a right to . defend
myself this way.

liknow very well : 011111 C eiurile laudieat;
but if it hi permitted to make a compar
ison, my situation in regard to my per-
sonol enemies reminds inc of that moth-
'abused man General Ben. F. Butler.
The political and perional enemies of
that gentleman - have, with a minute ac
curacy, described the crimes they charge
lam with—. The fay exposed a6pount
of those alleged crimes almost - cenveys
, the idea to the' reader that the -reporter
of them had been personally-present at
the . alleged committing of the deeds.
Yet every unprejudiced and impartial
man will—for 'want of any legal proof—
at least 'refrain from expressing • any
opinion in regard to those charges, and
I know many very respectable gentlemen
who, altogether, most emphatically deny
that General B. P. Butlei• overwas guilty
of any such crime.
My situation with my 'personal enemies
hi somewhat similar to that of Gen. But
ler, every person -knows that "'the exe--
miters of the late Miss Stinnecke" care
for nothing but for the money which the
deceased left. To accomplish their de.
Sign every means is welcome -to them.
Now, in order to make the people at largo
familiar with their favorite idea,,that the

whole Story of my alleged identity with.
that Berlin namesake of mineis sot afloat.
This is plain truth, and I have too much
confidence in the feeling of righteousness
-of the American people as not to make
me believe that the simple telling of this
truth will not miss its aim. It is true the
charges above referred to are only a side
issue,. and- have nothing to do, whatever,
with the ease of an alleged murder, of
which I stand charged, yet if one takes
right in account my present sad and
unfortunate situation, the form in which
the Baltimore Sun saw fit to publish those
charges against me, falls little short of
a highway robbery assault from behind the
bushes. I will not enter hero into an
-enquiry how much the Baltimore -Sun
receiyed from "the executors of the late

in'Paris to-day:
LONWEVILLE, Ann. 14-10 p. en.—
The army began to cross to the . laft bank
of the Moselle this morning. Our ad-•
vance guard had no knowledge of the
presence of any force of the enemy.
When half,of our army had crossed over,
.the Prussians suddenly attacked in groat
force. After a fight of four hours they
were repulsed with great loss to them.
The Queen of Prussia to-day received
the follo'vring diskiatch, dated in the vi
cinity of Metz, Suiiday evening :
"A victorious combat occurred near
Metz torday, the troops of Ow First and
Seventh Corps participating. I hasten
to the scene of thaeontlict.
The Emperor and the Prince Imperial
have arrived at Verdun. Before leaving
Mete the Emperor issued the following
proclamation to the soldiers in that city :
"On quitting you to tight the invaders,
I confide to your patriotism thadefense
of this great city. You will never allow
the enomy to take possession of this bul
wark of Prance, and I trust you will
rival the army in loyalty and courage.
I stall over remember with gratitude the
reception I have found within your walls,
and I hope that in more joyous times I
may be able to return to thank you for
your noble conduot."
"All trains except for military pur

Afirrnon E RT•RAOnD man v.--This
morning, fifteen minutes before three,'
another meteor of extraordinary, size and
uncommon brilliance, . passed slowly
across the' Heavens in a north-easterly,
direction, at an elevation of about thirty
fl dogreevabove the 'horizOM .There
.was no appearance of clouds at'tho time,
and the moon, was shining brightly.
There was much in its size, velocity, : and
general appearance, that was observable
in the - remarkable meteor that appeared
in the summer of 1800: In brilliance,
however, it far surpassed it. During the
latter part of its progress it emitted a
vary vivid. kight, scintillations of a dullbr
hue appearing close in, its wake. Before
disappearing it seParated into two partsi
the loading and larger 'part emitting an
intensely bright light until it entirely
disappeared ; lessor part losing its
- Velocity and light, and'disappearlng first.
About, fifteen secandcil elapsed from the
time it-was .first seen until it finally dis
appeared. Had the'.'moom :not , been

have been witnessed such as but few are
'favored with during the period of their

Perry county, who was cut in the bead
to such an extent that he was taken
home. Captain Whiskey was at the bot

of the Connodoguinet creek. A social
picnic will be held there to-day (Thurs
day) if 9ie weather proves propitious.
Picnic by% daylight, and dancing by moon

' REmotous.—The English Lutheran
Church, of this borough, Rev. Jciel
Swartz, pastor, will be opened for di
vine services on Sabbath morning next,
(August 21,) at eleven o ' clock. During
the present summerf this church hat
been thoroughly renovated, and Messrs.
John Army & Sons, have been busily
engaged in re-placing the lights in the
windows, wliich have been in use since
the church was re-built in
.1851,, with
handsomely stainedtlass of rich design's.
It niches a very d4ided and handsome
improvement in the appearance of this
church edifice, and it will now compare
very favorably with any house of wor
ship in our borough, and reflects much
bredit upon the taste of the officers and
members of the church.
CATTLE.—But few droves of cattle
have been passing through. this place,
the present sumihor. Indeed, it is get
ting to ho a very rare thing to witness
a drove of these animals. Wo can re
member, very well, when it was no un
usual sight to see as many as eight and
ton different lots of cattle pass through
our borough, in a single day, destined
for the Philadelphia markets. This
change is, no doubt, owing to the great
length of time consumed in making the
trip from Pittsburg and other points in
the West, to the Eastern markotS, and
the heiyy expense thereby: ippurred.
Li addition, also, freights on the differ
ent railroads have been greatly qduced,
which, together with UM' rapid passage
by rail, froth the different markets, will
tend, eventually,' to do away with all
driving of stock by land. So we gO. But

of the animal's death is not positively ,

the day.
WE have been visited with several
splendid showers Airing the past week,
which have proved very beneficial to the
groWing corn and potato crop. These
rains, ought certainly, put an end to the ,
murmuring and complaints of the croak
ers. In some, localities the ground was
very much parched, and the corn was
commencing to dry up; but these glori
ous showers coming opportunely, as they
did, changed - the aspect of things, and
prospects of a large and bountiful corn
crop iu this neighborhood wore tinier_
