rnE REsULT OF APATHY.


The latest election news gives Sharsweod
a majority ofso2 This result may be
changed if the fraudulent Copperhead votes

the fraudulent votes our defeat Is alone the

of the Republican voters OF the STATE. ia
king our own county as a criterion by which
to Judge. and there are many that have done
worse. we End that while there is only a fall
ing off in the Copperbead vote ofl9l, IN the
Republican there is a deficiency Of 2S6.
The Copperhead vote this year is 2644
while the Republican is only 23o5. Last
year the Copperhead vote was 2S35 aud the
Republican 259l. Now if the Republican
vote this year as compared 'hat OF lat
had been as full in proportion rs Ire Cop
perhead, we would have had l66 N votes.
and the Copperhead majority Instead ol 539
would have been but 2Io. That is, instead
of gaining q5 on last year vote they would
have lost p. Thus much for the apathy OF
Bedford County Republicans. just such
conduct throughout the state has lost Us, IN
all probability, Supreme Judge. If we
had been as active and had got out as full
a vote in proportion all over the state
AS the Copperheads in this county, all
Of which could easily have been done,
instead of losing the State by S02 we
would have carried it by more than a.
600. Let Republicans ponder these facts
and not despair, but go to work to redeem
what, through negligence, they have lost
The task will be a light one it entered
upon with energy and zeal In 1862 we
were in similar manner beaten by Cop
perhead majority ia the State Of 3,524
though in 1860 we had carried it by 59r6lS.
Awakened from our dreams of faucied Sc
curity and alarmed for the safety Of the
country we went to work at once and in 1868
the state was carried by Republican ma
jority Is, 325 which was increased in 1864 to
20,07j and in 1865 to 2266o What has
been done can be done again. Awake then
Republicans Shake of the lethargy that
has already imperiled the great work Of re-
construction and through it the life Of the
nation. Go to work with the zeal and ener-
gy of freemen determined to preserve thciI
freedom. Labor in behalf Of humanity,
Justice liberty, peace, union and free insti-
tutions. Remember that eternal vigilance
is the price Of liberty, that activity is an in
dispensable condition Of political as well as
natural life Nothing IS wanting but "a rca
souable degree of energy in the Presidential
Campaign Of 1868 to give us at least 20,0oJ
majority in Pennsylvania. 1t can aud must
be done, so pick your fints and try it
again.

uoRAIREFoRMS AND POLITICAL
PARTIES.

The loses of the Republican Party in the
receut elections have been made the subject
Of discussion BY the press Of both parties.
Various causes have been assigned to ae-
count for them Taking both sideswe find the
causes altogether sum up about as follows
apathy in the Republican ranks, the effort TO
elevate the negro and grant him the same
protection of person and property as the
white men-to restrain the tide OF drunk
enness and crime that is flooding the land,
bv stringent license laws, and to sustain the
time honored and divinely commanded OBJ
servnnee of the Sabbath day. These en-
brace the sum of the worst charges that
even our enemies can make against us.
Apathy in times, such as TIE present, is
scarcely less than crime, With this ex-
ception no party ever has been or even will
be finally defeated while it preserves such a
record in the face of the most bitter enml-
ty. Such charges coming from its enemies
constitute the most eloquent tribute that
any political party either in the past or the
present has ever received. The Republic
an party has never countenanced the bring
ing of moral questions into the political
arena, but the leaders and the great major
itv of the party being eminently moral and
sober, It's enemies have persistently charged
upon it desire to interfere with the laws
on these subjects, thereby hoping 50 to
identify the Republicans as the originators
and upholde ers of all laws imposing moral
restraints upon the people, as to bring all
the opposers of these movements, the Sab
bath breaker, and the drunkard into their
ranks. In this they have in measure sue
ceeded The Republican party may we'll be
proud Of its peculiar position in this res
pect. 1t is a noble one and to Its truthful
ness its enemies bear willing testimony
But it is not good omen for the country
when political parties each striving for the
management Of the government Of the
country, endeavor to array the friends Of any
moral reform movement on one side or the
other. The inevitable result Of any such ei-
fort is to limit the usefulness and success OF
the movement and at the same time embit-
ter political contests. 1t Is certainly much
better that each party should avoid pander-
ing to vice and immortality for political pur-
poses, and that there should be sufficient
sober moral, peacable, and law abiding ele-
ment in any party 20 direct its policy in the
interest Of the great moral principles under
/ lying all Government and which are the
recognized conservators Of our religious and
! civil liberty.

THE WEST SENDING LIGHT TO THE EAST
The japanese, once the most seclusivc,
bid fair to beceme the most enlightened Of
Eastern nations. They are sending to this
country and Europe deputations Of their
eminent men to investigate and become
familiar with the improvements OF modern
civilization, and several Of their intelligent
young men are now pursuing their education
here. Six well educated young men of rank
are in the academy at Monson, Mass under
the patronage ofthe leading prince Of Japan
for the purpose of acquiring a thorough
knowledge Of the English language. Il is
gratifying to know that, withoutany attempt
at proselytiBg them, their own logical per
ceptions have already traced the superiority
Of the Western nations to the elevating in
huences Of Christianity,

Ex- ADJUTANT GENERAL BUssELL.-
When A. /. Russell was called to take
charge Of the Adiutant Generals Office Of
Pennsylvania, from seeing mere nominal
position whose duties required only a super
vision of one or two State arsenals, it had
suddenly grown to that Of department
holding sway over a hundred thousand sol
diers. It will be inferred from this simple
fact that it required a man Of more than or
dinary ability, a hand Of more than every
day business power to comprehend the
workings and guide the development Of such
an operation. But Gen Russell at once
made himself master Of the situation. He
had sagacity, energy, foresight and iuaexi-
bic will while at the same time, even when
seemingly uBbending in the performance Of
his delicate duties, no man can say that he
ever received from Alexander j. Russell
other than tho most courteous treatment,
nor can any soldier assert that he ever suE
farcd wrong at his hands We write this
because we know exactly what we record;
/ and because we desire to do a faithful Off
Ger justice on his retirement Gen Russell
will always have reason to be proud of his
official acts His energy aided largely in
getting out Pennsylvania troops, and his
promptness contributed greatly in putting
those troops into the field. These are his
torical facts which will be elaborated more
fully when the history Of Pennsylvania s
great service to the Government Is written.
We part with Gen. Russell with regret.
His social relations in Harrisburg have al
ways been Of the best, and few men have
served in official connection in this city, who
left Harrisburg with more Of the good wish
es Of the people than Gen Russell viii take
away.
We understand Gen. Russell is a candi-
date for Clerk Of the House. He has am
pie ability for that position, having hereto
fore served as Clerk Of the same body

THE Copperheads of Pennsylvania have
been unceasing IN their charges Of corruption
against the Republican party, The party
has never existed in which corrupt men did
not find place and probably never will.
Even in the Pennsylvania Legislature the
few Copperheads that are there show laI-
ger proportion ofcorrupt men than the Re-
pubhcans if their votes for the monopoly, the
chief criterion, are to be taken as an index.
Another difference is the Republican, while
exposing the corruption of the opposition
dare to denounce and oust whenever possible
such Of their own number as are found wan
ting in integrity The Cops invariably re-
fuse to see the corruption of their own mem
