Since the October elections here large num-
Der of election officers have been arrested and

PILGRIMAGE OF GOV. SEYMOUR.
WnKEsBARRE, Oct. 31-Gov Seymour ar
rived here this evening from Philadelphia. He
was greeted by several impromptu demonstra-
tratlonS on the line of the road and was es
corted from the depot to his hotel at this place
by large crowd of people. He spoke at the
Court House, using arguments similar to those
advanced by him in other places. He compar-
ed the waste of money in carrying out the re-
construction policy of Congress with the great
good wrought by the capital spent in develop
ing internal improvements and encouraging
industry. He charged the Republicans with
changing their front because they declared in
their resolutions that reconstruction had been
successful, and now in their presses they pro-
claim that so far from being a success the South
is in state of rebellion. He said that recon-
structlon and 10000 Office holders make the
difference to the poor man between eight hours
and ten hours work per day. Hon. George
w. Wood ward presided and Gov Seymour
remains at that gentlemans residence until
