Spain.


1t is not an easy task to comprehend
the full significance Of the Spanish Revo
luton. But few short days ago, Spain
would have been the last of all Christian
lands to which the eye would have turned
to behold hope for mankind and freedom.
But human liberty seems there, like
phoenix, to have risen out of her own
ashes. Where but yesterday dissolute
and tyrannical Queen and scarcely less
dissolute and corrupt Clergy oppressed an
illustrious race, to-day the light of liberty
shines, the people prescribe their own laws
and choose their own rulers.
1t was an important question to the pa
triotic Spaniard, how he should rid him.
self and his country Of so great burden
as Queen Isabella and her adherents. A
more vigorous race would long since have
made their condition better or worse by
an appeal to arms But the Spaniard had
become SO used to life of idleness, luxu-
ry, and oppression that he was not expec-
ted to rebel. The government was
imbecile, and bankrupt, or next to it
The people were weak, and as moneyless
as the government. 1t was splendid
chance for an effeminate and tyrannical
dynasty to run its course /; and 1t did.
| Finally, the decisive moment came. The
Queen was in France. The great body OF
| the people were tired Of her rule. The
army had little or no affection for her. A
few bold leaders took advantage of the
opportunity, anu declared for the Queen 5
overthrow. The people hailed them as
deliverers. The army hesitated but for q
moment, and then sided with the people
The Queens ministers offered no resis
tance. In u few hours, the Popular Pro
yisional Government was organized. Ii

xXIst Congressional District.

The virtuous and law abiding Demo
cratic leaders are indignant at the refusal
Of the Governor to ratify their rascally
proceedings in this Congressional District.
But Governor Geary is abun6antly sus-
tanned by the facts which have come TO
light, showing an utter disregard of the
plainest provisions of the law, by friends
Of the Democratic candidates. We copy
one chapter OF this erpOse from last weeks
Uniontown Standard, which alone fully
substantiates the right OF the people to be
represented by Mr.. Covode, as their choice
by legal majority. The Standard says:
The election in Dunbar township, in
this county, was a farce or worse. In
1867, it polled 453 votes. This year it
2oled $40. an increase over last year ol
1877. In 1867, the Republicans pollsd
186 votes. In 1868, they polled 202--
increase l6:

day, were thrown into hats, and after

Smith, Democrat, says that he had a
cigar box full of Copperhead tickets fold
ed, and left them in the election room
What became of them he does not know
Upon counting the ballots, six more we're
found In the boxes than there were names
on the tally paper. The boxes being seal
ed, they were delivered to the constable of
the township Instead of being conveyed
by one of the election officers to the near
est justice of the peace.

perhead voters were, no doubt, imported.
Officers oa the cars, between this place
and Pittsburgh, kept US advised every day
of passengers from Pittsburgh getting of
at Dunbar. One of the officers of the
board was not sworn.
The Youngstown District, in West
moreland county, contains the Catholic
Monastery of St. Xavier Its inmates
are nearly, it not all, foreigners Few OF
them had naturalization papers But all
voted. No challenges were permitted. 4
person attempting it was siienced and
told if he persisted he should be arrested
The boxes were literally crawmed, with

Dunbar township was not the only one
in this county where fraud was apparent
In North Union township there were six
more ballots In the boxes than names OF

more in Georges and four at Brownsville
These latter the officers threw out-twG
