formal. Did any Jacobins there hit upon the
happy expedient of ruling them out or compel
ling them to comply with impossible conditions?
Nay, they adjourned to meet the Hext day, CIV
ing ample time to correct the error. But the
LAwYERs of Somerset county, urged on by
few politicians of the town, concluded to do
differently, ia the vain hope that somehow or
other itswould enure TO the benefit of their
ticket.
Ii is not at all necessary to argue with any
man of ordinary intelligence that any mere
infO'mality in an election return, in an cleo
ton district, can or ought to inUatddte the
whole return and thereby deprive honest vo-
ters out of their legal and constitutional
rights. The idea is preposterous and against
every principle Of justice and common sense.
1t has been deciNed otherwise more than a
hundred times. by the Courts as we'll as by
Congress and the Legislature of this State.
We understand that Scull, on the flmsy
preteXt of want of formality in the return
from AIleghahy township, in his own cum
ty, intends to contest Findlay's admitted
election. lie does not charge that any fraud
was committed, or that Findlay had not
legal majority If forty rotes in Allegheny
township, but proposes to rely upon those
peculiar proofs Of tile which invariably Sc
cure success for radical ontestanIs, upon the
fimsiest Of pretexts, when brought before any
radical body which has jurisdiction in the
case. What will be thought of the capacity,
as well as the honesty of State Senate, if,
despite this plain state of facts, Findlay
should be rejected, the people disfrancEised.
and Scull be permitted to misrepresent the
district2 We shall watch this singular con-
test with more than ordinary interest.

The PhiladeIphIa Returns.

There Is mystery surrounding the recent
e:ectiou in Philadelphia which requires a
vast deal Of explanation, if it can be account.
ed for on any ordinary principle of political
morality. We d. not pretend TO say that
the leaders of the democratic party in that
city are entirely pure and shove suspicion.
but we do say that the Registry law Of the
last session has been 30 manipulated by rad
ieal election officers as t. render that election
perfect ard absolute farce How this re-
suit was brought about is fully known and
understood in Philadelphia, but is not SO
easily comprehended in the purer political
reglpns of the State. 1t does not seem to be
denied by the republican papers Of that city
that Diamond, one of the democratic candi-
dates for State Senator. was fairly and legal
ly elected; but by the operation of forged
and fraudulent returns in some of the wards
and division precincts, be was shalneessly
cheated out Of his certificate of election, and
that document was given TO Watt, the radi
cal candidate. Even Judge Allison, before
whom the question incidentally arose, virul-
ally admitted the fraud against Diamond,
but said that under his view Of the law he
was puwerless to interfere, and that the
question Of fraud must be referred to the
State Senate for adjudication. This may be
the law, and we do not propose to controvert
it. but the bold and open frauds on the bal
bot boxes, nevertheless. stand as confessed by
the friends of Watt.
Another conclusive evidence Of the fraud
H!ent character of that election is the fact
that the returns of the election, which by
law are required to be made to the Secretary
Uf the Commonwealth on the Friday sue
ceeding the election, were not received by
that official until last Friday, the 22d inst,
which was Just one lccek after the meeting
of the return judges. The papers at Harris
burg stated that although the Secretary had
telegraphed for the returns. he had received
no reply. Why was this mysterious and
unusual delay in transmitting these returns
Io the proper officer at Harrisburg? ? Was
it a deeply laid scheme TO so change and
manufacture the returns as to overcome Gea-
Iy's loss Of fire thousand U0tes in Allegheny
county by false and fraudulent return from
Philadelphia 1t looks very much like it.
In view Of the Philadelphia operation, can
any honest politician say to certainty that
John w. Geary was fairly elected at ali q
1t seems to US that the entire election in Phil
adelphia was bold and palpable fraud. un-
der the peculiar way in which the Registry
Jaw was made to subserve the dark ways Of
radicalism, and that Asa. Packer has been
defrauded out of an honest election by the
people. A triumphant party by such dis
graceful and humiliating process acquires no
honor, but. on the other hand, merits the
supreme contempt and detestation Of an in
telligent and well-meaning people.

wendeIl Phillips on the Elections

For years past Wendell Phillips has been
the mouth piece and the oracle of the radical
party. True it is that that party has some
times been slow to follow his teachings, but
as certain as the needle points to the pole,
just SO certain has it been that radicalism
has ultimately followed in the political wake
of Phillips, That be is an able writer and
an eloquent man is not disputed, but that
he is fanatic of tho first water is equally
as self evident. nThgfollowihg characteristic
extract, in reference to the recent elections
in Penas ylvahia. and Ohio. is from his vigor-
Gus pen: ..-...-.,'.
Meanwhile the strength Of the opposition
vote shows that the administration has not
satisfied the country. Its friends have ral-
lied and secured another year of grace. The
elections of 1870 will turn more directly on
The issue whether the Republican party has
fulfilled the national expectation. In cur
opinion. unless the administration files bet
ter record during the coming year than that
Of the past, there will he very even strug
gle between it and its foe. perhaps an igno-
minious defeat BY small maj l:ities. after
an almost Incredible effort, ne have just
saved the two great States Pennsylvan
and Ohio. Any slight untoward accident,
even. would have lost them. IL is u poor
dependence for a great party. We have
dIiftcd thus far on our soldier President 's
reputation lie and his Cabinet must earn
the future. ~
Wendell may not be prophet, but he is
no fool, as 1872 will demonstrate.

BRAVE UNTO DEATH.-Every day one
reads Of gallant deeds performed, and of the
death Of brave men who die as heroes die,
but nothing more heroic or more truthful
will come before the public than the deed
which furnishes the following for the Port
Huron Commercial:
Opposite Port Huron. in the town Of Sar-
MIA, there are several kerosene oil refners,
with large tanks connected with them used
for storing oil before barreliDg for ship
ment. Last Saturday one of the tanks con-
nected with Chalmers rehGery being empty
was found to need cleaning and a man named
Wales was sent to perform the task. AL
most at the moment of his dissent into the
tank be was overcome blythe suffocat:ng gas
arising from the oil and fell senseless upon
the floor. Speedy death would have over
taken him, but one of his companions named
Patrick Brady, with brave self-sacrifce
that should perpetuate his name and the
memory Of his gallant deed, Immediately
descended into the tank to the rescue of his
comrade. He seized the fallen man and
raised him within the reach of those above,
by whom he was drawn up to the open air,
but at the same moment fell himself, over.
powered by the suffocating gas. Those
panic stricken by the occurrence, dared not
encounter, the deadly atmosphere, to descend
to his relief, aud from six to eight minutes
passed before other means could be devised
for his rescue When at last he was drawn
from his fatal prison, life was extinct. 1t is
rarely an act is performed more truly heroic.
He must have been aware of the danger he
encountered, before he made the attempt,
but in view of it all, he braved the danger
and lost his own life to save that of a COM

DENJAMIN II. BREWSTER, the especial pet
and friend of Simon Cameron, who made
John w. Geary the radical candidate for
Governor in 1866, and who (Brewster} was
appointed by Gtary Attorney General of the
State, was removed from that Office on Mon
day last, and F. Carroll Brewster, Of Phiia-
delphia. appointed in his place. Our read
ers will remember that in the early part OF
the late campaign John CoYode addressed an
impudent and Insulting letter to Mr.. Brew
ster, requesting him, by the authority and
direction of Gov Geary, to resign his office,
in order to promote the success Of the radical
party in this State. Mr.. Brewster refused,

The STATE SENATE.-The Radical ma
nipulators are determined to have majority
in the Senate. They counted out Mr.. Dia-
mond in the First district for this purpose.
and the Court of Common Pleas refused to
interfere in behalf of the men who were
cheated cut of their votes by forged, altered
and improper returns. There is not an in
telligent man in this city who believes that
Mr.. Watt obtained majority of the legal
votes Of the district. Facts show he did not
In the Fist ward, while the average majori-
ty for all the candidates is TIT, that of Mr..
Watt for Senator is 357, difference in his
favor of 80 votes. Here. however, there is
no wide difference ia the total vote of the
ward. But. turning to the Twenty sixth
ward, we find that the average aggregate
vote of the ward is 4.337. a difference of
739 votes. Moreover, the average majorities
in that ward, excluding the Senator, are
1,O35, while our Senator is defeated by
I,446, difference of All votes. This shows
conclusively that the returns for Senator
were altered in order to give the certificate
to the Radical candidate. and add a member
to the Radical party in the upper branch of
the State Legislature. -PhilG. Age.

FATHER HYAoINTBE's religious position
has apparently been misunderstood by some
Of the more jealous Protestants in this coun-
trv. OF course, he has been interviewed by
energetic reporters of the New York press,
and to such of those gentlemen who succeed
ed in eliciting any opinions from him, he
stated that he was still a Catholic, in the
strictest sectarian meaning of the word. lie
does not propose to come out of the fold as
Luther did. and make war upon it, nor is
there any probability of Farher Hyacinthe
proving very hopeful proselyte to any of
Luther's doctrines. In the Church. he has
surprised the world by his denunciation of
certain of its dogmas, but while he would

SINGULAR DISCOVERY NEAR SYRACUSE,
n. "a remarkable discovery of human
form of huge proportions, entirely petrifed,
has been made in the township of Lafay-
ette. near Syracuse. Ny. a CORES pondent
of the New York papers. writing from Sy-
racuse, furnishes the following particulars
Yesterday afternoon, in company with
hired man, Mr.. VIM. Newell, farmer, liv
ing some twelve miles distant from here, be-
gan to dig a well in the meadow in the rear
of his barn. About two and a-half feet be-
low the surface, they struck upon what they
supposed to be a large stone, and Mr. New
ell went for a crowbar to remove it. Before
he returned, however, his man had uncover
ed two large stony feet and legs. Continu-
ing their digging. they brought to light the
perfect figure of man of more than giant
size, and as solid as though chiseled out of
the rocks of Onondaga. Some conception
of the sensation it has produced here may
be formed when give you a few of the ac-
tual measurements. The total length from
the top of the head 10 the lower surface of
the instep is 10 feet 81 inches; across the
shoulders the width is feet across the
palm of the hand, inches the larger fin-
ger is inches long the thigh is y inches
and the leg below the knee 81 inches in
thick ness The figure was found lying on
the rlgnt size, one nanu placed upon the a0-
donen, the other upon the back. and the
left leg thrown across the right. The re-
semb.ance is complete. Everything is there
the wrinkle about the eye, the Adams
apple in the neck. The full veins, the pro-
minent muscles and bones, the natural swell
of each rib. and the clearly defined nails,
