tba,Sharswood's election in this State will,
it is said, be contested, on the ground of
fraudulent voting in Philadelphia and else
where. ,
tsa,.A.n election for or against_.a conven_
tion was held in Virginia on Tuesday. It is
not known as far as the returns have been
received which party has carried,' the Radi
cals and Negroes or the Rebels. •
Prtauns.—lt has already been shown that
frauds involving an illegal count of more
than two thousand votes were perpetrated at
the late election in Philadelphia alone, So
says the Harrisburg Tclegrapik:
the first Tuesday of November,
which is'the fifth day of the month elections
will be held in the State of New York, New
lersey, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Kansas, Missouri and Nevada. Some of
these Commonwealths vote for a Governor
and State officer', but in others the ticket is
only local.

over a million of dollars of counterfeit Seven
thirty bonds of the dentainntion of $l,OOO
are in circulation. Baltimore etpitalists
lose $25,000. It has been definitely ascer
tained that the notes were printed in Phila
delphis, but where they were engraved is
not satisfactorily determined.
Tilt PENNSYI7A ICCIA EUCM:V.—The
Harrisburg Telegrnph, furnishes a full official
table of the returns from all the counties of
this State of the elect:on held on the see
.ond Tuesday of this month. The actual ma
jority for Sharswood, the Democratic candi
date, is 922. The total vote of the State is
534,850, against 597,3T0 cast at the election
of 1866, when Governor Geary, Republican - ,
was elected over Clymer, Democrat, by 17,
178. Of this falling off of 62,520 votes, the
Republicans aro short 40,450 and the Dem•
ecrats 25,070. These figure's show that the
triumph . of the Democrats is not the result
of any political reaction, but of ap
athy. The falling off in the Republican vote
is 18
,380 in excess of the falling off of the
Democratic vote. The result 16 simply that
both arties oiled a reduced vote but th!t
the Democra!s by more organised effort
brousAt out a larger proportion of their vote
and achieved the victory. No amount of
talk can alter the conelwion of-thesefigurea.
The Republicans lost the fight simply
through apathy and hegleot. The polling
of their full vote in the county of Allegheny
alone would have altered the result.

CHOLERA IN PITILAVErantrA.—The &en

Asiatic cholera has broken out at' the navy
yard, and there have been thirteen deaths
since Saturday. The outbreak of the disease
occurred on the ship Potomac.
In the majority of the fatal eases, death
ensued within a few hours after the first at
tack, the suffers being taken with diarrhan,
cramps. vomiting, and all the known symp
toms of Asiatic cholera. The disease is de
scribed by the physicians on board the vessel
and in the yard to be that of Asiatic cholera.
Since then, about forty of the men on the
Potomac have been affected more of less by
the disease, and thirteen deaths have already
occurred.

BROWNLOW ON HIS PREDECESSOR.- Gov
ernor Brawnlow in his message to the Leg
islature of Tennessee, makes the following
recommendation in regard to the reward of
fered fee the - arrestof Lilian) G. Harris, the
former Rebel Governor of the State:
I advise the immediate repeal of the offer
of a reward of 45,000 for the arrest and re
turn of cm Govern( r Farris. My opitions
with regard to active, original Secessionists,
and the punishment due to them, have un
dergone no change. But no man has been
punished for treason set, from Jefferson
Davie down: and the pro-Rebel policy of the
President warrants the conclusion that none
will be - punish - a Besides; in Tennessee,
during the late canvass, there were worse
men upon the stump than Harris ever was,
openly proclaiming treason, and sedition, and
inspiring the people with sectional malice.
I advise the repeal of this offer from two
other considerations—first that of humanity
towards the family of Harris; and next, but
not least, that of economy on the part of the
State. The State is liable to be called upon
at any day for this reward, and iu return,
she' Would have nothing to show for the out
1-,y.

Colored Register Shot
WASnINGTON, Oct. 22, 1867
A few weeks ago General Swayne appoint
ed an exemplary colored man, named Alex.
auder Webb, to act as register under the
reconstruction act in one of the districts in
Alabama. He was a saddler by trade, and
had just purchased a small patch of ground.
and erected upon it a little tenement of his
own,in which he had opened a shop. Ile
had secured the confidence - of the communi
ty by his industry and unusual intelligence,
but when he was selected, a ruffian, named
Orrick,- one of Moseby's gang, said that he
never would allow himself to be registered
by a negro; so when the day came .Orrick
entered the office of registration, and, ap
proaching Web') with a smile and a hearty
welcome, drew his pistol and fired, three
balls entering Webb's heart—of-course, pre
(hieing instant death. Orrick gnick ly escap
ed, and though it is given out that he has
gone to Honduras, nobody doubts that he is
still in the neighborhood. Webb" died leav
ing a young family by a second wife. When
the knowledge of the tragedy reached Wash•
ington, a number of. the Republicans of this
city concluded to tnke the el6est 'child and
place him in the :Toward University, where

plates were not made in Europe, but in this
country. It is further gated that Philadel

and his assistants were in pursuit. lie was
identified as having passed a number of the
7-30 bonds on_Broklyn bankers. Elie name

and is now in prison in New York, awaiting
the action of Solicitor Jordan and Colonel
Wood, whe are both in New York at this

P 31. SHOEMAKER,
County Superintendent
We sometime ago (tormented upon school
furniture, school houses, school grounds, as
Educational Means. We are glad to learn
that the Union Academy school bodge. is
torn down and near its •site is erected a first
class school house designed by contractor .J
J.. Miller. The iFouge has a vestibule nod a
porch, under root', all fine enough for any
church. The room•is spacious,six high win
dews at sides and two in vestibule, two doors
from vestibule into school room. Shelves
will be placed in vestibule for dinner, hats,
shalls, and bonnets: Black-boards will be
all around the school room—made by black
ing last coat of finish. Improved furniture
will be 'laced in the room tor:ether *with one
of the bent of stoves. For these improve
ments the District is solely indebted to J. J.
Miller who was determined that a respecta
ble house unlike the siablea_usually_buil
should stand to enable children to get their
education pleasantly and comfortably. Of
course a suitable house could not be built
for the same money that , the — others were
built. So Mr. Miller• so •s "u s she goes
with the prospect of $2OO loss to me °"..1.11
Set them see that I can build a good house."
The State Superintendent thinks he must be
a very large hearted man. le adds, "I wish
we had ten thousand such men in l'ennsyl-
Vallia." If such men were appointed super
intendents of grounds and, buildings,. we
would not see the painful speotaele—school
houses in mud Holes—cold as stables—dark—
inconvenient furniture—no blackboards fit
for use—houses in which 'first class teacher.
have no desire to tench—rather crippling the
aims than aiding the cause of education.—
Improvements you'd shine out in every cor
ner. ECONOMY.
PAvEmEriTs.—We notice the sidewalks
ori Main street, in places, arc . getting very
much out of repair. Several places between
the saddle and harness shop of Mr. IVeagly
and the Brew House are so 1100VC12 as to
make it almost impossible_ta_gat_along_with_
safety after nightfall. Such pavements are
really a nuisance, and property holders
should be required to remove the clumsy
'lags" or relay them. There are numerous
other localities in about the same situation.
JUST HOW TO DO IT.—An exchaage Any :
If you wish to keep your town from . thriving,
turn a cold slicaldet to every young mechanic,
or beginner in business-Lkill him off if you
can. Look - up to every new comer with a
scowl and disecrr o l you can; it that
won't, do decry his work, go abroad for
wares of his kind rather than give him your
money. Last hat not least refuse to patronize
the village paper. "Then go to seed.r
There is no more effectual way to retard the
growth of a town than this.
