The following telegram was dispatched
to Forney, by the Secretary Of War, the
day after the late election:

arch in June, and with steel and cannon

and now, 10 October, she has again rail-

EDWIN NJ. STANTON.
Here the Democrats of Pennsylvania,
to the number of $4,000, are described
by Mr.. Stanton-sitting in his easy chair
at the head OF the War Departnient-as
"FoEs." Of course nc one will suppose
Mr.. Stanton to be so crazy as to want his
"foes" in the military service of the Uni
ted States. 1t is a dangerous situation
for enemies to occupy. Therefore, if Mr..
Stanton has any pretensions to truth and
candor, he will Immediately issue an order
to each Conscription Board in Pennsylva-
MIA, commanding them to "put the har.
ness on none but loyal men, Chose who
voted for Curtin, y and exempt all "foes,' "
Chose who voted for Woodward.) If Mr..
Stanton fails to do this, he will stand be-
fore the world The most arrant of dema-
gogues. GearfeM Republican.

san officers selected and sent home over
twenty-five Observation-Disclosures Republican
soldiers-to vote. No aUovcd Democratic
solder could get q f@rlough to come home
and vote for Woodward-not one-but all
who would vote for Curtin had q furlough
presented them, and free ticket home in
the bargain. A more daring, more
damnable, a more cowardly attempt to
stife the free expression of public opinion,
more deadly stab at the purity of the
6alot-box, was never attempted by any set
of men, and yet they claim 10 be Union
men. They have proved by their con-
duct willingness TO subscrve country and
everything honest men hold dear, to the
one endsand aim-party success. Strange
as it may seem it is nevertheless true that
the vote in Pennsylvania is nearly thirty
three thousand more than was ever polled
before. How can any honest man recon
cile this vote with honesty and fair deal
ing!
We have sent over two hundred thou
sand soldiers to the army, yet we poll
more votes than ever before. l. il, can it
be honestly done. DO you believe that
nearly one hundred thousand men voted
in Pennsylvania at the late election who
never voted in their lives before If not,
how is this immense vote to be accounte d
for! We have but Que explanation of the
unparalleled vote poIled by our adversar
ies--that is fraud. BY fraud have the
usurpers stiaed the voice OF the people. -
By fraud have they usurped another lease

A REAL CALAMITY.
[ From the sunbury Democrat


The reelection of Ahd,cw 4. Curtin
has failed like a sad prescntiment of future
evil upon the people of Pennsylvania. II
was accomp ished by the Administration
through Imported votes and grcenhacks
and is not the expressian of the bon fide
residents OF the State. Even the Repub-
licans, as they look into the future and
consult their own better judgment, car
but feel that it is the greatest calamity
that ever befel our Commonwealth. In.
stead of arresting the plunder, the ruin
and the overthrow Of our Government by
the election Of man who regards the
Constitution, the liberty, the lie and the
property of the people, We have foisted
upon US for three years to come man
who has proved recrsant to them all
Pennsylvania has been made to endorse
the wild revolutionary doctrines of the old
Abolition party, and to approve all the
outrages OF the corrupt men at Washing
ton. Ii the Republicans of this State dc
not live to regret the part they have taken
in the matter it will be because they are too
corrupt to love good government or too ig
norant to appreciate their position. That
they will pay dearly for their partisan
blindness none can deny.

dented. That the balot-box was tamper-
ed with, is too mild charge. These en-
emies Of Iibeaty actually di;francbised
numbers of citizens, not by preventing
their voting, or going through the form Of
it, but actually by suppresslng their votes.
In the First ward Of that city, one hum
dred a',afty-seven men voted for George
w. Woodward, who substantiate the fact
by their oaths, (and how many more voted
that way we do not know,) while the re-
turn made by the election officers gives
Woodward but rs votes. One other in

other Of their strougholds, the vote for
Governor was 9,679 According to the
last report Of the Revenue Commissioners,
Bradford county has 9,ss2 taxables; of
this list it seems that only 209 are not vo-
ters, which is preposterous. We have,
from all parts ol the State, proofs Of simi.
lar stuffing of the ballot-box or the crowd
ing in ofiIcgal votes. We believe that if
a fair investigation could be had in every
election district. il could be proved that

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

ANDREWS DICTIoNARY.-The Board of Education
last week authorized the publisher of this journal
to undertake the printing and publication of this
book, which has so long been looked for. AS no
types or paper suitable for the work are to be had
here now. Mr.. Whitney took passage 70" San Fran
cisco in the YANKEE, to obtain them there if possible,
and if not, to order them from New York, so that
there may be as little delay as possible in its pub
LEGATION. 1t will make a book Of 450 TO 500 pages,
and it is 4 hoped will be ready to issue to subscribers.
in eight or ten months from this date, or if issued
in parts, rs has been suggested, somewhat earlier.
1t would doubtless be much cheaper to have the
work printed in New York, but the fact that the
author must see and revise the proofsheets, renders
it necessary that il be printed here. The Board of
Education, though somewhat tardy, deserve praise
for having adopted such measures as will ensure the
publication of this much needed book at a not very
remote day. -
10 The NEXT NEws.-A number of vessels may be
expected from San Francisco during the next few
weeks, which will bring US news q little more fire.
quently than during the past few months. The
Bakers Island Guano Company is about to resume
operations, and three or four ships are expected TO
load there with guano as rapidly as they can be filled.
The Phoenix Island Company are also expecting a
ship or two. The steamer Fusi Yama will also leave
San Francisco for China in August, to touch at this
port. -
LOOK AT THE ADvERTIsEMENTs.-Country dealers,
and others, will no doubt find it to their interest to
read the new advertisements in to-day's paper. The
arrival of fresh goods, of every description, will
afford them a good opportunity for replenishing
their stocks. -
FUNERAL PRoCEssIoN.-The procession of the Fire
Department., on the occasion Of the funeral of Mr..
IL. 5. Holsey, was a handsome tribute TO the memory
of a brother fireman, and reflects credit upon them
as a department. -
SoMNAMBULIsT INJURED.-A native named kuhe-
leloa, got up in his sleep during q night last week,
and walked off n verandah, and falling to the
ground, bruised himself severely.
QUICK-Letters came through from New York. \
both by the Yankee an d Midnight in 80 days, from
that city to Honolulu. The telegraph news came
through by the latter vessel, in only Is days.
RESERVOIR GROUNDS. We have been requested TO
ask why the grounds about the reservoir have been
tabooed the public by the removal of the gate on the
Nuuanu Road.
~ The Photographic Gallery of H. L, Chase will
be closed until the LIST September when, with a new
stock, business will be resumed.

the persons to make expert sugar boilers; for they
have every qualification necessary but experience,
and this is acquired only by years of application.
