WEAR A SMILE.-Which will you do smile
and make others happy, or be Grabbed and
make every body miserable? You Gao live
among beautiful flowers and singing birds,
or in the mire surrounded By fogs and frogs
The amount of happiness which you can
produce is incalculable, if you will show q
smiling face, kind heart, and speak pleas
ant words On the other hand, by sour
looks, cross words and fretful disposition,
you can make hundreds unhappy almost
beyond endurance. Which will you do T.
Wear pleasant counisnauce, let JOY beam
10 yonr eye and love grow in your forehead
There is no Joy SO great as that which
springs from kind act or pleasant deed
and you may feel il al night when you rest,
and a, morning when you rise, and through
the day wien about your business.

The Infamous Republican Frauds in PhiIa-
deIphiR.

AT the late election in Philadelphia the
nominee of the Republican party for City
Commissioners, Mr. Given, was defeated by
the vote of the people OF PhiIadslphia, and
Major Weaver, the Democratic candidate,
was elected. Mr.. Given lost over his party
vote nearly 10000! Major Weaver's ma
joriiy was 1850 votes Col. Mann, the
Republican nominee for District Attorney,
an the same ticket with Given, had nearly
10000 majority. Yesterday the so-called
Soldiers vols" was returned to the Protho-
notary's office. By this vote DIR. Given aOas
counted electe9l!t
This gigantic fraud has taken the people
by surprise. Even the Republicans are
frightened at the audacious attempt to sell al
defiance the popular will. Men of all par
lies begin 10 ask il the Republican parry is
not rotten. This attempt 10 sireat an elec-
lion as though it had not taken place" has
stirred the public mind TO a stale of great
evaporation. The negropublicans" feel
that they have lri1ed with the elective fran
chise once 100 oftel-they have overshot the
mark. These ''sodier vote returns" show
patent frauds. The ballots are no: folded;
The envelopes are all OF one kind; they
were mailed all al the same post office, OH
the same day Just in lime 10 come to Phila-
dephia for The last meeting of the return
judges, Friday, Oct. 81. They were post
marked New York, as coming from New
Orleans, but there had been no arrival from
New Orleans al New York for some days
before these returns were mailed al New
York
Fraud on fraud, utter contempt for the
rights of the people, insolent and audacious
disregard of The plainest principles OF hon.
esly aud even prudence, mark this last ef-
fort of the Republican party to defea, The
will OF the people. Men of Pennsylvania,
are you content supinely TO permit such
outrages 10 pass, uurebuked, on the sacred
right oil the ballot. Men of Pennsylvania,
are you willing By your want OF interes, in
the fate OF your country and IFS Institutions,
its free government, its free ballot and free
elections, TO give up Jour manhood and po-
lil:cal rights 10 the Republican party, which
cheats for power and commits frauds for
place.
Rise up, men of Pennsylvania, organize
at once, either clubs or societies or meet
ings, to protect the free ballot. Begin at
once. Come together, young men, 10 save
your system Of government from destruction
byNaauds OF the Republican party. Re-
member what il cost your fathers TO estao-
lish free government, the right to vote,
and the purity Of the ballot. VIII you sui
fer The Republican party TO destroy all and
you stand idly byl Awake arouse orga
nizs Let the cry 60 forth over the hills
aud valleys of PennsylVania-A FREE BALLOT
a FAIR voTE-AN HONEST coUNT-or let

A FRIEND SENDS rs verbatim report OF
one of Beecher's late sermons, as ':curios-
iiy;" and in the matter ofiogic and philoso-
ply, il is indeed curiosity. For the most
part, big sounding words, But ssnseIess.-
Take an example: "Things foreign 10 the
universe cannot last, because they have not
God in Them" This is perfect Beecher-
ism ,one OF those novel sentences which sur
prise shallow people withou: conveying any
meaning Whatever. What are We 10 under
stand by things foreign 10 the unirsrse ! No.
thing can be foreign to The universe, Tor il
comprehenGs, in itself, all things. being a
whole of wholes and embracing all paris of
ALL II is unus and vsrsus, one and ALL No.
hing that is can be foreign to it, or outside
o! il. Even Beecher himself is a part OF it,
a fact which, however disagreeable, must be
accepted. If the people generally were SEN
sible, such senselsss senience-monger as
Beecher could moi earn his salt al lhe preach
ing business. He stands high upoh The g-
noTance OF his hearers. II they had high
er degree of ofinIeIligence, his position would
be much lower. He fourishes upon their
stupidity. Reduce bis sermons and his lee
lures 10 the strict line Of logic and seEse and
they vanish Iiks SO much smoke.-The Old
Guard.

Tie Surfatl Rsus,.

The Washington correspondent of the
Bosion Herald says:
"The room at the Surrait House in which
Payne slept, and Boosh conspired, are to be
thrown open to the idle gaze Of crowd,
while all Of the household furnature and
utensils are 10 be knocked of 10 the highest
bidder by The auciioneer's hammer. Even
ihe hoase which belongs 10 John Surrait and
his sister, and who now occupy il is for
reut. The estate is 10 be settled, and all
that remains Of the name of Surrat,, save
the inferred corpse in the arsenal yard, is 10
disappear from Washington. The house
continues TO be an object oI interest to sran-
gers and citizens. | may add here that il
has always been something of a misiery as
to what caused the dete ciives TO go to the
Surra:l House in liuls more than an hour
alier Mr.. Lincoln was shot in the theatre on
that terrible Friday night. They went there
and inquired for John Surrat about mid
night. Not finding him they went away
and did not 60 there again until the follow
ing "Wednesday night, when Payne came in
ouo " % SaoBut. W ioCutudu3 tuo WtucsS,
could not havs given the information, for he
was in the house abed and asleep when the
Detective called. The iscl may also be
cited that the detective force who inquired
for Surratt that same night belonged TO the
Metropolitan police, while those who arres-
ted Payne some days afterwards at that
house we're attsched TO Gen. Augur's head
quarers. The two visits here have been so
mixed up ia conflicting accounts that the
public are doubtless unaware of the fact
that in about an hour after the assassination
the authorities were at The conspiraior's
headquarters and close on the heels Of The
assassins. So much for :he Surrait house."

TIE worthy people Of Massachusetts sent
Sl5O,oO0 to the Black Republicans of New
Jersey, for The purpose of carrying the eiec-
lion in that Stale by bribery and corruplion
The same class of men al Washington New
York and Philadelphia sent, for The same
purpose, between $780, and S4Oo 600
more. What is this but attempting TO de-
prive every honest man of ths benefi, OF his
right OF franchise Every man whom they
cannot corrupt they would as sffectusIIy dis
franchise as though they were to drive him
from the polls with the bayouet.

Rebellion in the Human Interior.

RebeIlions are not confined 10 bodies po-
litic. They break out in our own interiors
as well as in the ''bowels of The land"
The natural law of our bodies is health,
but we misuse them aud they revolt We
subject them to exposure, we overtask
them, we overload the stomach, we neg
lect the bowels, we plunge ont of rooms
hotter than the tropics into an atmosphere
below freezing point, and in various other
wavs trihe with our health.
But these frames of obrs are wonderful
machines, and we can, by the use of the
PROPER MEANS, SO INVIGORATE and
REGULATE them as 10 render ihenDal-
most proof against the ordeals 10 which, in
our recklessness, we subject them.
Nothing that has ever been known or
heard of as tonic adds so much TO the
resistant power of the human system un-
der circumstances unfavorab lie 10 health as
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. If
you would escape The Intermittent fevers,
fits of indigestion, bilious attacks, and
bowel. complaints, of which cold and damp
are the frequent causes, use the BITTERS
as PROTECTIVE MEDICINE. This is
the wisest course but if already an in
valid, Try the prep aration as RESTORA~
TIVE. In either case, full reliance may be
placed upon its efficacy. Sold everywhere.

Arrest Of Election Officers.

On Wednesday last Jacob Fisher Acting
Judge and Charles Lewis Inspector of Elec-
tons in the middle ward, were arrested and
bound over to Court by Esq. Hunsicker, to
answer the charge OF receiving votes know
ing them TO be illegal; for those OF Samuel
RObers and John Bean, who have clerk
ships at Washington. On Thursday, Wal
lace Henderson and John Leedom, OF Upper
Merton, Judge and Inspector, were bound
over on four distinct charges Of refusing to
receive the votes of drafted men who had
not reported. Aigermon s Jenkins Esq of
the Gwyredd election district was also on
Friday bound over to answer the charge OF
refusing TO receive The vote of qualified
elecIor.
On Tuesday, Samuel S. Roberts and John
Bean, of this Borough, were arrested and
bound over 10 court in The sum of $500, to
answer the charge OF illegal voting ia the
middle ward of the Borough of Norrisiown.
These prosecutions have been instituted
to test what the laws really are in relation 10
voting aud to ascertain who are the legal
voters of district. Regularly as elections
come around we have several votes brought
home TO the Borough, who reside out Of it
during the whole year, with boarding, wash.
ing etc., out OF the State. We are opposed
10 petty prosecutions out of improper mo-
lives, bui il is well enough 10 have these
matters promptly settled. It will be fair
for all parties in ;be future. In the case
Of the Upper Merton Judge, no vote certain
Iy could be rejected that were qualified
under The State laws.-NorristO1Ca Republi-

attempts now made by those Republicans
whom Thaddsus Stevens dssigLsted as

those noble patriots who prefer country to

these exceptions the great mass Of the Re-

As We informed our readers before the
October election, the radicals claim the re-
cult in Pennsylvania as victory favoring
negro suffrage. Read what the Pissburg
Gazette says:
"The Democrats made negro suf7rage
special issue in the late election throughout
tho Stale, and have been beaten. They in
sisted upon il that il was the issue, and the
only issue. We accept the rnsuit as deci-
five or. that point, and the Democrats being
Judges may fairly claim that Pennsylvania
has decided against ihe admission OF souih-
srn States unless manhood suffrage is first
conceded and secured"
Hsrscbel v. johnson, in Augusta, gave
good advice to his friends. He told them TO
roppon the President and elect men as
members OF Congress whose antecdenis can
finnish The radicals with no preiext to oP-
pose them taking their seats.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER says be wants "a
government hereafter so strong that there
can never be either tumult or an insurrec-
tion." Then the government Of hell ought
TO suit him exactly, for there Lucifef's pow
er is so absolute and go great that no one
can ever think of resistance. We read OF re-
belIion in heaven, ,'but never OF rebellion in
hell. According TO Beecher's theory, hell is
the best, and the best administered govern
ment in existence. No wars no riots no
,umnIts no Instructions no rebellions J
no sympathisers with ireasoal There pow
sr is so perfect and desPotism so admirable,
that the peace of the kingdom is never dis
turbed. Instructions and rebellons sup
pose consciousness of oppression or come
wrong, with the hope OF redress. But there
is nothing of this kind in Mr. Beechsr's mo-
del government OF helI-ro consciousness of
injustice, and no hope to inspire action
All is the dead inertia of power tba; is the
perfec, model of strong government We
hope Mr.. Beecher's admiration OF that sys>
lem of government will rot be dampened
when be gets there. For our par,w want
10 see discord, vengeance, and resislan CO
reign, wherever and whenever tyranny and
oppression raise their heads. We pray God
that there may never be any peace, any
where, on the basis of cespoiism. II is the
peoples right and the peoples duty TO free
this world of Iyrants. II is The peoples right
10 be free, aud TO send TO Saian's kingdom all
who try TO introduce his system of govern
