. IHE RESULT IN MEIGS CoUNTf.-De-
low, we give an abstract Of the vote IN
Meigs County for the Electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President. The official vote
may vary the figures little, but not mate
rally. AS the official count will not be
declared for two or three weeks, we have
gathered the vote of each township
as nearly correct as possible. Accor-
ding to our table, it will be seen that Ere
mont's majority over Buchanan in this
county is 39s, and over both Fillmore and
Buchanan 43, The total vote is 1914.
The increase of votes since last year is
1858, and over the recent State election
$50. Salisbury township polled 1859 votes,
being over one-fourth of the entire vote Of
the county. Over one hundred foreigners
were naturalized on the day of election, a
majority of whom voted the Democratic
ticket.
The Fillmore vote was much larger than
we expected, though not near so large as
we had heard it estimated by members of
that faction. AS there will be no further
need of their organization, we presume they
will hereafter unite with the Catholics and
Foreigners of the Democratic party to de-
feat the Republicans. Perhaps some few
of the more thinking among them, seeing
the position in which they are placed, as
auxiliaries to the Catholic and Slavery Ex-
tension party may join the Republicans
But whatever they may do or say, we shall
give ourselves very little uneasiness about
them. They have done precisely the same
thing which they complained of the Abo-
litionists for doing in 1914 and ls48, and
what they do hereafter is of very little con-
sequence, as it will only affect local poll
tics.
The Democratic vote is also..grcatly in
creased. This is easily accounted for, by
the immense foreign vote polled. The
German and Irish Catholics, as usual, yC-
ted the Dimmycrathic ticket, and all who
could be !ahed or scraped together were
brought out on Tuesday. Many of those
who were once prominent in Know Moth
ing lodges voted with them, and were bu-
silly engaged in bringing them to the polls
Considering the double fire to which the
Republicans were exposed, we think they
did nobly. Their vote is about 500 larger
than that given for Chase last year, and
about as large as that given for the Repub-
lican State ticket at the late election. Be-
ing now conscious of their exact strength,
and knowing the strength of both their ad-
versaries, they can labor with zeal and firm
ness for the great principles of human lib
erty. Let them not falter one moment, but
continue to battle vigorously from this time
until Freedom shall be proclaimed tri-
umphant over all the land. "Truth is
mighty and must prevail"
Below we give the vote mentioned above:

Mr.. Stayman, the Post Mastigd D6f1Ip1S

entered last night and robbed Of 'aifths -
ters that arrived there last night in -
Northern mail, and those in the boxes fd&

Mr.. S. states that the number of letters !:
stolen amounted to about three hundred in
all. Of their value he can make noguess. :
The small amount of money in the drawer
was not taken. .....-, !s.s'
After the theft had been committed, the
thief or thieves set the Office on fire in
three different places. Fortunately the
fire progressed slowly and it was discov-
cred from the smoke in time to put it out.
before much damage was done.
Take this robbery and arson at Delaware
in connection with the total destruction of
the Post Office at Bellefontaine, and the
immense loss by fire there, it is evident
that there is gang of thieves and incen-
diaries prowling about the country.
1t would be well for every person in
danger to be on the alert, and if "strange
faces" are seen about, who cannot give a
good account of themselves, they should
be requested to leave on the shortest no.

PAINFUL AccIDENr.-We find in the
Belmont Chronicle an account of horri-
BILE accident which occurred last week at
Hendrysburg, O., by which two persons,
Mr.. Richard Lewis and his son, were in
stantly killed. They were at work in a
coal mine Of the Effort Manufacturing
Company on Tuesday last, and while at
work, the pit in moment gave way, and
buried them in its ruins. Neither body
was mutilated, no distortion of features,
nor bone broken; the mass of dirt had
crushed the life out of them. The day
had been set apart by them for propping
the bank, and their positions indicated that
this was their last act. The son was found
prostrated at full length on his face. The
father was within few feet of the SON, and
had no doubt been in sitting posture
when the msss struck him. Mr. Lewis was
of Welsh descent. r7bt....t
TERRIBLE FIRE IN BELLEFoNf AINE,--In
addition to the details in the letter of Mr..
Marquis, the Postmaster at Belefontaine,
in our paper, we learn by line written on
the way bill to the Postmaster hep,sthat
the whole loss by this terrible tlS. b esti.
maten at $4,000!
This is, truly, 4 great ca slamity to our
fellow citizens Of Bellsi6ntaine, - Ohio
Statesman.
The woods were still on fire Yesterday,
morning in several places, and we heard
that the school house in the vicinity of Mr..
McJohnston's, was at Que time in danger.
The woods and fences in the vicinity Of
the magazine are on fire, and great danger
has been done to the timber and property
in that direction. We visited the spot
Friday evening, and found number Of
men engaged in tearing down fences and
putting out the. fire in the grass. TIE,
smoke was. sitting, and it was with great
difficulty Il that anything could be done

CHANGE OF PUBLICATION DAY.-When
we first issued the Telegraph after the fire
every thing was in confusion, and the Of
fee was not half fitted up. We issued at
that time to accommodate few legal ad-
vertisers, and to make as strong fight as
possible for the Republican ticket Our
difficulties and embarrassments were such
as to prevent us from labormg as efficiently
as we desired, but we did the best we
could, under the circumstances. The elec-
tion is now over. The Court has been in
session. The Office is, partially at least,
fitted up. According to promise, there
fore, we wish to resume our regular pub
lication day. To do this, it will be neces-
sary to omit one number. This paper is
issued on Saturday, Nov. 9th. The next
paper will appear on Tuesday morning,

The proclamation of Gov. Chase, ap-

The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the fact
that Thursday, November 20, has been
fixed upon by most of the Governors Of
the Northern States for annual Thanksgiv-
ing, asks: Where are the Governors of the
States south Of Maryland? The Carolina
Times replies:
"We are impressed that the Governors
of the States south of Maryland are all at
home and competent to decide for them
selves when it will be proper to fix upon a
day to offer up thanks to the Almighty fol
past blessings. The movement on the
part of the northern executives is no critic

warned to flee the wrath to come; yet We
believe the waters of Jordan, Abana, and
Pharpar would fail to wash them and hea
