Pennsylvania Election.

The Republican majority in Pennsylvania
will reach $4,000. Nearly all the counties
have been heard from, and the official account
may carry it up to $4,000. Referring to this
result, Forney says: "When we consider
that the vote is not much more than two
thirds of the whole vote, and that the MAORI
ty of this election is equal to three -fourths of
the majority of last year, it shows that there
is an absolute increase against the Admins
tration.'
In regard to the State Senate, there are
holding over eleven Republicans and eleven
Democrats. Eleven new ones were elected
this year, and the Republicans have made a
clean sweep of the whole batch. This will
make the next Senate stand % Republicans
to IL Democrats. Bigler's term in the Uni
ted States Senate expires March 4, 81, and
the people of the Keystone State are impa-
tent to get rid of the old doughface, and
to make sure thing of it they elected ele-
ven State Senators pledged to help turn him
out, when the time comes when it can be law
fully done.-Chicago Press d Tribune.

LEAvENwORTH, Oct. IA.
The overland express, with dates from Den

An election had been held for Delegates to
Congress, and B. D. Wilder was elected
The vote was small. An election was also
held in Arrapahoe County under the laws of
Kansas creating considerable feeling. The
previous policy Of the mining region has been
to ignore all political connection whatever
with Kanses.
Snow had fallen to the depth of one foot at
the Gregory Diggings and other localities,
causing a temporary suspension of mining op-
erations; but succeeding mild weather enab
led the miners to resume their word A large
number are leaving for the States to pass the
winter. The mines are producing well. A
nugget worth $3.50 had been taken from Rus
sells gulch. Two hundred men were still at
work in Tarryall District-all making good
wages. The Kansas lead yielded $500 in
two or three days to about three hands. The
miners remain vigorously at work in all the
diggings.

The Character of the Man who shot
BrOderick. -e----a.i7-t n

Daniel S. Terry, who shot Broderick, had
been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
California. His party did not nominate him
for reelection and the brief balance of his
term unexpired, it is said he resigned before
going out to fight the duel. The San Fran
cisco Times draws the following picture of
him: .- ...s..... ..--......-. =.
Probably, had California been raked over
from one extreme to the other with revol
wing horse rake, another man so untitled for
the position of Judge, among those claim
ing to be lawyers could not have been found.
He was man without education, and with
as little knowledge of the general principles of
law as would be required in any other coun-
try to make Justice of Peace. He had dis
tingulshed himself only TOR the numerous
fights and brawls that he had been engaged
in. He had one quality that he possessed IN
common with the bull dog, and being man
ofpowerful frame and great skill in the use OF
weapons, he was always regarded as dan
gerous man. .t @.4 D--.f.- ,..-'f p
But bad as he was, and unfit as he was for
the position, yet the people elected him to the
high Office Of Judge of the SUP 'eme Court.
What excuse is there for Broderick risking
his life by a fight with such man.. -' y

The Responsibility of both Sibley and
Dunbar.


Dunbar.
There are some who attempt to defend Mr..
Sibley from censure for the stock substi tu-
ton by Auditor Dunbar, by alledging that he
had nothing to do with it-that only the Au-
ditor is guilty. These men forget that the
Banking Law makes Mr.. Sibley equally re-
sponsible with the Auditor for the character
of the securities. The proviso of the law
says:
Pocided, That if, in the opinion of the
auditor AND GOVERNOR, any stocks offered
shall be deemed insecure, that they shall not
be receiued as such securities under the pro-
visions Of the act,''
Thus, it is clear, that, though the Auditor
performs the mere executive duties Of the
Banking Department, yet in the matter of de-
termining upon the suticency Of the securi
t t;cs :. g chl;catorv nnon the Governor ;!,
Auditor both to pass their opinions.
Nor does the bubble that the Governor he'd
nothing to do with the substitution" avail
anything. 1t was his duty to have had to dc
with it. Sinking responsibility in the dis
charge of sworn duties, and letting the peo
pie be robbed when he should have protected
them, only makes his offence the greater-h'
adds cowardce to his crime,

In the House of Deputies to-day resolu-

report, but no final action was taken upon any
of importance.
1t is rumored that the House of Bishops

six against six for the restoration, without
discussion, but no information of positive
character has yet been made public regard
ing the proceedings of that day.

unfounded. On the other hand, the rumor is
again reported, and the vote is now said to
have been twenty-eight against and six for
restoration, Nothing can be ascertained of a
positive character.
