Pennsyiva Returns. &c.
The Telegraph operators made some capl
tai plumbers in giving returns from the rem
sylvaia State election, which the Louisville
Journal notices ard exposes. AS itsays' these
dispatches appeared artfully designed by con-
GET ling the truth, to encourage the Democrats
and dispirit the Wings. The correct returns
prove that things are by no means SO very bad
for the Wings as was at first believed. AS
an inst ,nce of the falsity of these reports,
dispatch under date of the 18th, reported
Woodward's (dem.) maj. in Lebanon county,
at 5O06 Now the recent returns prove,
that instead of Lebanon county giving 5.O06
Democratic majority, the uhigs have carried
the county by about GOO majority! Another
report of the same date is thus given: "Blair
county, Gayport, Dem, so majority =" No
other return from Blair county is given, and
the impression produced was that Blair coun-
ty had given the Locoiocos 80 majority, but
the recen; returns show that the Wings have
SOuhtf fOo.
in Crawford county the telegraph gave the
Democrats majority Of 500, but it appears
that Dick, the Wing candidate for Congress,
carried the COUNT by 700. So in Venango
county, the telegraph states generally that the
Democrats have eco majority; but the same
dispatch states particularly that the Wings
have carried the county and State ticket
There is no unravelng these mysteries.
The Journal thus alludes to the Pennsyl-
vania returns:
As we attempt TO analyze the dispatches,
inexplicable enigmas IRE everywhere pre-
scented. We must wait for the mails before
any hing certain is known. We have, how
ever, with such materials as We have ON hand,
carefully examined the returns from the fol-
lowing twenty-one counties, namely: Berks,
Blair, Cumberland, Cambria, Centre, Clinton,
Columbis, Crawford, Delaware, Dauphin,
Fayette. Juniata, Lancaster, Lytoming, L. b.
anon, Mercer, Phi ladelph!a city and county,
Schuy kill and Venango, and have comnared
them with the Cove -nOr's vote in lo4S," hen
the whig Governor was elected by 2J1. The
result is, that the wings has e game pa
Though the wing Governor was elected III
lS4S, by only 297, and the Democratic canal
Commissioner by nearly 900, Gen. Tal lor
carried the Stale by 1882. If, theret IRE,
our calculations approach correctness 1t ap-
pears almost certain that Scott will sweep
the State, in November, triumphantly. Ii
the reported vote oil Allegheny county, which
has not yet been given in any reliable form,
is taken into the estimate, taen the why's
have lost about 700, but even this cannot at
feet SCOTS chances, since we are assured
that his strength far exceeds that Of all State
tickets, and that The large wbig loss in a lie
ghany was brought about by purely local
causes. The election oi Sheriff absorbed
the whole attention of the voters, and it was,
we regret to say ,somethin. OF a religious con-
test.
We have taken some pains TO obtain reli-
able information lrcm Pennsy lvaniL, having
but little confidence, as before stated, in the
reports which we have heretofore published.
We have specially telegraphed a well inform
ed friend in Pittsburgh.
His reply will be found in another column,
and it will add strength to the confidence we
have herein expressed.
