THE FINAL RESULT.

We clip the following report of the cleo
ton throughout the State from the Har-
risburg Telegraph:
Below will be found all the official returns
80 far az they have been received. Wher-
ever the full vote is omitted the actual ma
iasities are given. The returns, as published
are an official, but several counties are en-.
tircly omitted, for the reason that no official
returns have been received. 1t viii be OBJ
served that We have no official returns from
Butler county, which gives a majority for
Gen. Geary
The only counties that give majorities for
the Copperheads, which have not been heard
from, are Pike, and Wayne. We have no
doubt that General Geary's majority viii
exceed 1000.

The recent Paris letter published in Wash
ington city, about the withdrawal of Maxi,
milan, is probably without the slightest foun-
dation, as from the latest semi official advi-
ces received there from both France and
Mexico, there was no thought Of any such
intention. The French ambassador to Wash.
ington is well and regularly informed upon
all that is transpiring in this Mexican bust i.
ness, and rumor says he pronounces all re-
ports about the speedy downfall of the Mexi-
can empire as very erroneous. The Empress
Carlotta, of Mexico, will be ACCOMPANIED ON
her return voyage by Gen. Uraga.

been diminution of expenses for war of

DOWNFALL OF THE PoPE-A writer in

no reason to doubt that France will execute

the course of the present year. The depart.

The above circular of the Democratic
State Central Committee is commended to
the consideration of every good citizen.
1t makes manifest to all that that party
expects to get the votes Of all those men
who DESERTED from the army.
1t counselS the violation of LAW. The
State law prohibits deserters from voting.
and the law of the State has not been deci-
ded by the Supreme Court to be unconsti-
tutional, and every officer of our State
should obey the laws of the State.
Our election law makes it a criminal
otfense for any one to MOVE INTO A DIS
TRICT FOR THE PURPOSE OF VOTING, and
yet this chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, William A. Wallace, Senator
of Pennsylvania, advises that in all cases.
when necessary, the DEsERTER should
CHANGE HIS RESIDENCE TEN DAYS BEFoRE
THE ELECTION INTO SOME DISTRICT WHERE
THAT PARTY HAS THE ELECTION OFFICERS.
so that the DEsERTER can vote
The chairman Of the Democratic State
Committee counsels the COLONIZATION OF
VOTERS, in violation of the LAW.
The State law makes it criminal offense
to THREATEN the election officers.
The Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee commands its partisans to
threaten the election officers.
AND IN THIS WAY THEY teach DEMoC-
RACY and LAW.
