Let Every Voter Go to the Polls.
TOMORROW will decide the fate OF Pennsyl-
vania and the Union. We have no fears Of
the result. 1t is practical absurdity to con-
template victory on the side OF the Doolittle
conservatives. And yet for all this positive
assurance of the triumph Of the right, we
deem 1t the duty of every man who has
vote to make a point OF casting that vote.
The first half OF the time-honored Democratic
maxim, "Vote early and vote Often" is the
best advice that we can give our friends in
the premises.
But 1t is necessary to bear one thing in
mind Hitherto the polls have been opened
at eight O'Clock In the morning. closing at
eight O'Clock P. M. Tomorrow, for the first
time, law goes into effect by which the polls
are opened at seven in the morning and
close at six in the evening. With the great
mass of the community this change will create
no Inconvenience. The majority of voters
can exercise their highest privilege as mere
citizens, Just as easily before six o'clock as
after seven. But with certain class the case
is different. We refer to the class of day
laborers, and more especially to the employees
of the large manufacturing establishments
situated on the outskirts of our city. Owing
to the distance of their residences from their
places of labor, it will be impossible for many
of them to visit the polls before engaging in
their daily task, and after its completion they
will have too little time to reach them ere they
are closed.
There is but one sensible remedy for this
difficulty, and that is this s:-Let the proprie-
tors or managers of all the large establish
ments in and around the city divide up their
employees into companies, and allot to each
company certain hour in the day, during
which they can cast their votes. By adopting
this method no voter will be deprived of his
vote, and the operations of no establishment
will be necessarily suspended.
Let every voter have an opportunity to go
to the polls, and let every voter use that
opportunity according to the best dictates of
his own heart The result of the contest will
not be changed by heavy poll, and the re-
buke to the enemies of impartial justice will
be all the more severe in proportion to the
tulness of the VOTE

Shall Rebels Make Laws for USE

SHALL the Rebel leaders be admitted to Con-
gress? This is one of the questions for the
people to answer. Those leaders had, many
OF them, taken solemn oaths to support the
Government. They committed perjury in
joining the Rebellion. Now they ask to be
received back into Congress again. What
will their oaths now be worth? Are these
the men to make laws for us? Are Union
soldiers ready to vote that the men who insti-
gated the unutterable atrocities of Anderson
vile shall have seats in Congress? The
Democrats say yes. Their party clamors
loudly for the immediate and unconditional
admission of men to Congress who were lead
ing and undisguised Rebels-generals, colo
nels, and other officers in the Rebel army,
and members of the Rebel Congress. Will
the people sanction such an outrage?

Close Uni

The work Of canvassing closes to-day, and
nothing remains but to cast the votes and
win the victory tomorrow. The skies are
bright. The people were never more
thoroughly aroused, never more determined
to utterly overwhelm that false and dlslOyaI
organization which calls itself the Demo
cratic party, than now. From every quarter
of the State we hear the most encouraging
tidings. 1t is not a question of electing
Geary and our whole ticket, but of doing It
by such maiorities as shall lend a glorious
impetus to the States which are to follow us
in November We are fighting the battle,
not for Pennsylvania alone, but for New York,
Missouri, Illinois, and Michigan as well. 1t
is not enough that we defeat the enemy; we
must rout him.
Let every Union man, therefore, give to-
morrow to bis country. The issues are vast
and momentous. They involve the welfare
of ourselves and our children. The very
citadel of popular liberty is threatened.
Executive usurpaton lays its iron hand upon
the dearest of the peoples rights--that OF
making their own laws. The eyes OF the
nation are upon us.
Close up, thenl Press on the columnsi A
victory awaits us that will gladden. the hearts
OF good men every where.

WHAT NEXrP-REBELs SENT TO STUFF
OUR BALLoT-BoxEs.-The Democrats are
getting desperate. They have absolutely re-
sorted to colonlzing our city with members
of the late Rebel army. One of these grey
backs was arrested on Friday, and upon ex-
animation acknowledged that he and lot of
others had been sent on from the South to
vote for Clymer at our election on Tuesday.
What do our citizens, and especially our
brave "Boys in Blue" think of this9 Are our
ballot-boxes to be stuffed by Rebel soldiers?

Shall Pennsylvania be Disfranchised

snail Pennsylvania be DISTINGUISHED
SHALL the Rebels profit by the overthrow of
the Rebellion, and have more power in the
Government than before? This is one of the
questions to be decided tomorrow. Are the
people of Pennsylvania ready to virtually dis
franchise themselves that the late Rebels may
have superior and unjust power in the Gov
ernment9 The Rebels will have, if the Con-
stitutonal amendment be not adopted, t,Uenty-
four members OF Congress and twenty-four
votes in the Electoral College more than their
voting population entities them to. This will
amount to virtual Acknowledgement of our
State, as it will neutralize our entire delega-
tion in Congress by members to which the
Southis not entitled. What Pennsylvania
will vote to thus disgrace the State?
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-10-08
Shall the People Rule z

THE one great, vital issue to be decided
tomorrow is, Shall the law-making power in
this Government remain with the people,
through their representatives, as the Con-
stitution provides, or shall it be usurped by
the President? Beside this all other issues
dwindle into nothingness. The President has
assumed legislative functions. His entire
work of reconstruction has been Legislative
and not executive. He insists upon forcing
this illegal and unconstitutional work of his
upon the people. He denies the power OF the
people, through their representatives, to
make the laws upon this most important sub
iect. If the people are to be deprived of
making the laws upon one subject, they may
be upon all. 1t is the first step that costs.
Let the people arouse themselves. No such
issue was ever before presented to them
The foundation of the Government is assaied.
The very vitals Of popular liberty are struck
at. five give up the right to make our own
laws, what else is left? How are we better
than monarchy or despotism?

COLONEL B. 81. jerks, OF Bridesbu7g
manufacturer OF cotton and woollen ma
chinery and rifed muskets, employs 1900
men. He issued an order on Saturday to his
foreman to close the works at noon OF election
day, to enable every voter in the establish
ment to discharge his duty to his country at
the polls, and to credit eUery man on the
payroll with a full days aoorh-an example
which we commend for imitation to every Re-
publican manufacturer in the country.

The fight in the First District is not
already decided. The Unionists are working
hard in this stronghold of the Democracy.
and Charles Gibbons, Esq, may yet be
elected. Mr.. Gibbons is as like Mr.. Ran
dali as Hyperion to satyr. The one gave
thousands of dollars to aid the cause of the
Union, and ever lifted up his voice to cheer
the true cause. The other voted against
appropriations to feed our troops, voted in
favor Of continuing slavery, denounced the
measures of the Administration and the war.
Between two such candidates, in any other
district than the First, there could be NO
doubt. There the decision is at least unset
tied. Let eve ry Republican and every ma q
who favored the war vote for Gibbons.

ATToRNEY-GENERAL STANBERY, in
1884, sald:-"As test for future, through all
time, let me advise that you ask yourself for
which candidate would Jefferson Davis
vote, and whichever he would you vote
against"
We ask that question now. If Jefferson
Davis had vote, would he vote for Geary.
Myers, Kelley, and Taylor, or would he vote
for Clymer, Randall, Buckwalter, and Ross ?
That Is the test we apply now. Stanbery
was right We ask the people for which party
would Davis vote, and for whichever he
would, you vote against.

The contest in the Fifth District is spirited,
with chances in favor of Taylor. Ross is
bitter Copperhead, and has been one for five
years. Taylor is true, loyal man. The issue
is fairly put. Let the loyal voice of the Dis
trict decide who it will trust,

A Union Victory.

UNION victory tomorrow will be as truly
a uictory for the Union as any gained by our
brave soldiers during the war. The issues
are the same. The cause is the same. Could
Heister Clymer by any possibility be elected
tomorrow, there is not Rebel from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande who would not
rejoice with "joy unspeakable." 1t would be
hailed as Rebel victory greater than any
they ever achieved in the field. On the con-
trary they will feel over Clymer's defeat as
they did when he surrendered at Appomattox
Court House, or when Sheridan sent Early
"whirling" before our victorious legons.

give at least 10000 majority for the gallant
soldier who is our standard-bearer.

WHO is JOHN WELsH?-He is a sutler,
who made a fortune out of contracts during
the war. That is all we know about him, and

a man of national reputation, a statesman Of
undoubted ability, and one who reflects lustre

Judge Kelley was defeated, the whole coun-

The Democratic Nominees for Congress
and the Plot for Revolution.


The people should not forget tomorrow, in
voting for Congressman, that the Democrats
are constantly threatening to organize
Rebel Congress, in defiance of law, and thus
bring confusion, anarchy, and civil war upon
the country. We do not know of single
Democratic nominee for Congress IN this city
who has come out and denounced this infa-
nous scheme. The implication is that they
are committed to it. We would advise all
citizens who are interested in peace, order,
law, and the quiet and regular administration
of the Governmental who have large pro-
perty interests at stake, all who have money
invested in Government securities-to cut
these Democratic nominees for Congress.
They are probably committed to a dangerous
and revolutionary plot, which, if carried out,
will certainty plunge the country into con-
Vulsion and disorder.

THE manufacturers, miners, and mechanics
of Philadelphia should remember that the De-
mocratic party is opposed to the principles of
protection to home industry, and the freedom
of American labor, under which our State has
SO splendidly prospered, and developed its
wonderful resources. The Democratic party
would thrust our laborers down into compe-
tition with the pauper labor of Europe, and
would chain our own industry to the car of
British monopoly. The protection system has
built up Pennsylvania and has made Phila-
delphia great city, Shall we vote to break
down that systems

General Geary and the Girnrd Estates.

OUR attention has been called to a lengthy
advertisement inserted by the Democratic
State Central Committee, which states that
General Geary was endeavoring to defraud
the city Of Philadelphia of the estates left her
by the late Stephen Girard. The display
heads to this article are calculated to inspire
terror. They rum
He contracts 10 take the Girard estate away
from the City OF Philadelphia
"He contracts to bring the suits and nav the
costs tor one-third OF the property"
he aids in conducting the suits against the
City OF Philadelphia"
He acts under the contract since he was
nominated for Governor
He will use his Official power to gain the
cause.n
The Democratic leaders say :-"John W.
Geary has direct pecuniary interest in this
most iniquitous claim, and in his high place of
Governor OF Pennsylvania, if elected he can
WELD powerful influence to bring success to
the suit, cash to his Golfers, and ruin to the
taxpayers"
Let us look at the case calmly, and see If
this raging lion will not, on closer inspec-
tion, turn out 10 be a harmless ass. The
contract between General Geary and other
parties, under date of November IL, 1857,
may, for aught we know, be correct. We
think 1t very probable that it is. And what
if it be bona fde agreement?
What does all this amount to? General
Geary is lawyer. In order to present their
claims, the alleged heirs OF Girard desired
and found it necessary to employ legal ad-
wiser. The case was a doubtful one. and
until it was settled they were entitled to the
chance Of being in the right They applied
to Geary and Painter. They accepted the
case as attorneys. They probably worked
in the case. 1t was their business, and we
see no reason why they should not take a
case against the city of Philadelphia as well
as against anybody else.
He agreed to take a certain fee, an ex-
tremely natural agreement. The case was
tried and forever settled by the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania some three years
ago. II eoGs eternalIy decided. The clients
of Gea1y were defeated; and all the influence
of all the Governors in the country could
never resurrect the dead suit. The charge
that Gen. Geary acted under the contract since
he was nominated for Governor is simply alb
surd How could he act, when the case was
settled?
The published letters are nothing. They
merely refer the writer to Colonel Painter.
They were probably a request for some
of the papers in his hands. And the
charge that he would use his influence,
if elected Governor, against the city,
is puerile. What influence has the Gov
ernor over the Supreme CourtP And if he
had, how could he use it, when the whole
thing is forever brought to a decision? The
attempt is nothing but one of the desperate
devices of the enemy. 1t is a last card, held
back until the eleventh hour-the dernier
resort OF party reduced to despair.

INFLUENCE OF FEMALE SOCIETY.-It
is better for you to pass an evening once or
twice in a lady's drawing-room, even though
the conversation is slow, and you know the
girls song by heart, than in a club, tavern,
or the pit of u theatre. All amusements of
youth to which virtuous women are not adj
mitted, rely on it, are deleterious to their
nature. All men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions and are stupid, or have
gross tastes, and revolt against what is pure
Your club swaggerers, who are sucking the
butts of billiard cues all night, call female
society insipid. Poetry is pid to Il yckel;
beauty has no charms for blind man; mu-
sic does not please poor beast who does
not know one tune from another and as a
true epicure is hardly ever tired of water
sanchy and brown bread and butter, | pro-
test that can sit for whole night talking
to well-regulated, kindly woman. about her
girl coming out, or her boy at college. and
like the evenings entertainment. One of
the great benefits man may derive from a
woman's society is that he is bound to be
respectful to them. The habit is of great
good to your moral man, depend upon it.
Our education makes of us the most emf
nently selfish men of the world. We fight
for ourselves, we push for ourselves, we yawn
for ourselves, we light our pipes and say we
won't go out; we prefer ourselves and our
ease: and the greatest good that comes to a
man from Il woman's society is that he has
to think for somebody besides himself, some
body to whom he is bound to be constantly
attentive and respectful. Thockerdy.

ROLLERS VS.. HINGEs.-Barn doors on
hinges arc almost certain to sag, are difficult
to manage wien the wind blows, often slam
and iniure the boys and animals that happen
TO be in the way. On rollers doors do none
of these miscellaneous things, hence, although
more expensive at first, they are preferable
TO hinges There is also the advantage that
the doors can, by means of a pin, he fasten-
ed open wide enough to admit light and air,
and still not admit the passage of animals.
Large gates with proper sized hinges arc so
expensive that many farmers use bars, which
lazy boys make means of teaching cattle
TO jump. Instead of letting down bars, nail
or pin them firmly to three upright posts, SO
as to make gate; make from plank or
boards two wheels, Il foot or so in diameter
fasten one near each end of the gate, for
rollers, and instead of ordinary bar-posts
set two posts at each end This makes al
most as cheap 'slip gap" as bars, and as
good as II NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., i'll many

The Prisoner.

Tramp, trump, tramp,
The guards monotonous trend
How can the prisoner rest
AS lie lies on his weary bed.
Not for the men deceived,
Who laid down their lives for him
Not for the battle-felds
With corpses stark and grim.
Not for the widows tears,
Not for the orphans cries,
Not for nations loss
In bloody sacri6ce,-
Not for the guilt and woe,
His mad ambition wrought,
Not for the terrible strife
Where brother with brother fought.
These do not break his rest,
As he lies on his weary bed,
Only the sentry's walk,
And the sound of his ceaseless tread.
lie sees not that awful host,
Procession ghostly, and dread,
OF prisoners starved and MANNED,
He does not hear their tread!
lie does not see them lie
Exposed to the scorching sun,
Or frozen by winters cold,
Or shot by some sentry's gun.
He does not call the roll
Ut that army of the dead;---
And the chief one of them all
Never stands beside his bed
Pity him? yes we will
But not for his fallen state,
Not for his honors lost,
Nor for his coming fate.
But pity him for this,
That the man has heart Of steel;
And that even IL lie would,
lie can no longer feel.
Put mating on the floor
And bring the choicest wine,
See that his food be delicate,
Aud his tobacco fine.
His deadlcst foe might smile,
In triumph when he sees
That the traitor in his fall
Can care Tor things like these. =.
