gressional election. All the people were
out, and voted after the most elaborate
presentation ever witnessed in the State.
The figures will probably, when the counties
are all in, stand, in round numbers, thus:

Last year, on Secretary of State, the fol.

At the late Governors election, in 1865,

1t will, therefore, bc seen that since last
year the Republican vote has fallen Off

creased 10000. Since the last Governors
election, the Democratic vote has increased
the enormous number Of nearly or quite
$4,000 votes. The Republicans, therefore,
have been beaten, NOT by their voters absent
ing themselves from the election, but because
$4,000 Of their number, having become
convinced that the Republican policy on the
Negro and on the Bonds was wrong, desert
ed their standard and voted directly the
Democratic ticket which they had hitherto
opposed. This Of itself made a change in
the State of $4,000 votes, or nearly two
thirds Of the Republican majority Of last
year. The remainder of the change was
made up Of the young mcn-new voters
who almost unanimously ranged themselves
on the Democratic side. The same proper
tionate gain will carry every Northern State
at the Presidential election next year. As
to continuance Of that gain in Ohio, We
have not the shadow of doubt. If the
election was to be held next week, We should
carry Ohio by $4,000. Crisis.
OBITUARy.-On Monday last, one Of
Wilkcs-Barre's most promising young men
was suddenly removed from earth, and trans
ported to an upper and better country,
where sin and sorrow and death never en-
ters We refer to Mr.. VIM. W. Wood
ward. youngest son Of Judge Woodward Of
Wilkes Barre. Mr.. Woodward left the First
National Bank, in which he was employed,
about three weeks since, complaining of DIM
ness of vision. He remained at home and
appeared to be getting better about election
time, expecting to be able to go outand vote
but when the day came he was too weak
After that day he became worse. Erysip-
elias seemed to set in, and one side of his
head was badly swollen, No fears we're en-
tcrtained as to his recovery, however, even
up to the day Of his death. On that day
he complained of great difficulty of breath
ing telling his mother that he could not live
unless he could breathe easier. In half an
hour from that time he was corpse. The
doctors pronounced his death to have been
occasioned by disease of the heart. Every
one speaks well of young Woodward, which
is better eulogy than could be written
The blow falls at this time with stunning
effect, particularly as his father was hourly
expected to arrive in the steamer Persia
from his European tour. Extensive prcpa-
rations We're making for public reception
to the Judge, but it was deemed advisable
to forego anything Of the kind, on account
Of his sad Observation-Disclosures Rep.
