OUR SENATOR.

Some Of our coppeghead cotemporaries
are greatly troubled that we place the name
of Edward Schulz on our list of Senators.
We do it because we believe lie will be given
the seat and that rightly, Justly and legally.
When we first referred to this subject few
weeks ago and expressed doubt as to the
fairness and propriety Of the action of the
Somerset board of return judges, we had
not all the facts of the case. We then sup
posed that the return judge from Allegheny
township, had only made a mistake and got
hold Of the wrong paper. 1t now turns out
that there was no certificate at all made by
the Allegheny township election board
and that the one finally produced was
made on Friday, three days after the
election, when the officers had no authori-
ty to make out any paper whatever. This
certificate was therefore wholly void and
illegal, and the convention Of return Judges
were not only fully justified in rejecting it,
but they could not legally have done other
wise If an election board may make out
a certificate setting forth the number Of
votes cast for each candidate, three days
after the election, when the general result
is known, then we open the door to unlimit-
ed frauds wherever there is a close district.
We can not and will not uphold fraud and
dishonesty when we have reason to believe
it exists, but in this case, the facts shows
that the action Of the return judges Of Som
erset was IN strict accordance with the let
ter and spirit of the law. No better eyi-
dence of the bad faith of the Democracy is
needed than the fact that the Prothonotarv,
OF this County or his clerk, in his absence,
refuses to file AMI forward 10 Harrisburg
the certificate and return made by DR..
Hicks, as is the rule where there is a con-
test. 1t may yet appear that Mr.. Findlay
was fairly elected, a matter about which we
have very grave doubts, lut no fair nor
honest construction of the election laws can
give him the seat on the prima tacic. To
that Mr.. Scull IS clearly entitled and Mr..
Findlay must seek his remedy in a contest
where he can have the case fairly investi
gated.

The Canadian authorities are very busy
at Washington in organizing for deter
mined effort to get renewal Of the Recip
rocity Treaty on the meeting Of Congress,
Reciprocity has always been a good thing
for Canada, but il has been swindle and
cheat for us. Under it, Canada has always
flourished al our expense. Weare unquali-
fedly opposed to any Reciprocity other than
what is found in our tariff of duties on ex-
changes with other countries. If Canada
wants the advantages Of free intercourse
with us let her become one of us, but let US
not be simple enough to build up foreign
power on our Northern border at our own
expense, oae day to be used against us.
1t would really be furnishing a club to break
our own head. No more reciprocity, should
be the cry of every true citizen. We have
long enough been plucked by British free
traders of whom this Reciprocity Treaty
has been one of the chief supports. Cana
diaus are to-day emigrating to the United
States because they can do better here, they
bring their capital along and make good in
dustrious and valuable citizens. Recipro-
city would stop this at once greatly to our
detriment Let US have no Reciprocity Of
that kind

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

The elections held on the End, inst, in
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois aud Mary
land, have all resulted about as we had reas-
on to expect. New York has gone Demo
cratic, through frauds as we bad every
reason to expect and we have perhaps lost
the Legislature. In New Jersey We have a
somewhat similar result and Maryland fol-
lows suite. OF all these we never had ang
reason to expect anything else. Minnesots,
Wisconsin,, Illinois and Massachusetts,, ha e
all gone largely Republican. Taking the 0c
t,ber and November elections all together.
they present the great Republican party in
an unbroken phalanx All the ground We
gained we have firmly held even IN year,
when, following the Presidential election,
there is no excitement and seldom anything
ike full vote. This accounts for MAORI
ties in some Of The states somewhat les.
than last year when every man was out ia
vote for our Soldier President The result
all over the country shows conclusiyely that
the Republican strength is unbroken and
that its career of victory and lease Of power
may be indefinitely continued if we but re-
main trae to our principles. Here is the
point of danger. Adventures of every
kind and character are drawn into the rank;
Of the dominant party and it is often diff
cult to distinguish the true Republican, de
voted to the principles of his party and tn
welfare of his country, from the selfish ad
venturer, without principle, honor or integ
rity, who has come into its ranks to seek hi.
own personal aggranalizement or pecuniary
profit. All the Republican party need do. j.
to select as candidates and elect to Office goot
and true men, and the predominance of the
party and the prosperity OF the country i:
assured for years to come. But these con
ditions are indispensable. Reckless ex
trayagance or foul corruption whether il
state or nation will inevitably sap the foun
dations of our strength The Republican
party has taken high ground, and any short
comings on its part will not escape the no
tice nor the rebuke of the people This i,
lesson for Pennsylvania to heed. With
administration and legislation up to the
standard Of our profession Pennsylvania is
a stronghold of Repubhcanism for years to

spain and Cuba.
WAsutNdroN. Nov. \ I96

WASHINGTON, Nov Z, 1862
A few unpublished facts regarding the late
attempt by our Government to settle the
difficulties between Spain and Cuba, are that
the terms of mediation were proposed by
Mr.. Ruiz Cuban by birth, and a thorough
going sgmpathizer with the revolutionists,
who has spent half his fortune in equipping
the patriot army Of that island They were
given by him to Secretary Fish, who sub
mitted them TO President Grant, aud they
were approved by him without hesitation, a
fact which shows most unmistakably his
friandliness for the Cubans. They were for
warded By special messenger to Madrid, for
the purpose of Fastening q final decision,
and because he did not desire to compel the
Cubans to wait uutil the appointment and
departure of General Sickles for the answer
of the Spanish Cabinet, The latter, how
ever, delayed action until General Sicklcs
arrived, and then, rejecting the oyertures
in question, offered a compromise, which Ia
turn was rejected by the Cuban representa-
tives here, which induced our Government
TO drop the subject for the present From
these plain facts it viii be seen that the Ad-
ministration has thus far, without compro-
missing our claims against Great Britain,
dCLGu III AAlG HANAhAaN6 % bAN & a tANot tlliA
sincere friend of the Cubans 1t is, there
fore, evident that the only obstacle which
prevents it from giving more material aid to
the latter is the possibility Of a complication
of our differences with the English; aud il
Congress assumes the responsibility, as il
undoubtedly will, of granting belhgerent
rights to the Cubans, it will merely take an
additional and more important step than the
Administration has felt justified in taking
up to this time. The Cubans themselves,
although cognizant of these facts, have en-
tertained and expressed the opinion that
the Administration was inclined to play fast
and loose with them. In truth, however,
they have no justification for such an opIn-
ion, except that Secretary Fish has from the
first looked upon the Alabama claims as
something Of more importance to the coun-
try than the claims Of Cuba. It is under
stood that his opinion in this respect has
undergone great change recently, and that
he has discovered, through the expressions
of Congressman who have arrived, that the
public generally is more concerned about
the Cubans than about Great Britain.
Nevertheless, the exceedingly cogent points
of Senator Summers speech on the subject
have and will continue to have great weight
with him, as it has with Congress and the
people at large

The report of the Special Commission on
the Pacific Railroad has been placed on file.
They report that $685., 900 is necessary to
bring up the Central Pacific Railroad to the
requirements Of a firstclass road. This COM

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-The super
intendent of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in
Columbus, Ohio, gives the following IN
teresting account of one of his pupils,
named VIM f. Morfer: This pupil, in
his misfortune, illustrates the intimate con
neetion between hearing and seeing, in their
origin Last year, while a pupil at the
Blind Asylum, he suddenly recovered his
sight, with a simultaneous loss Of hearing
and power of speech Accordingly, at the
opening Of this term he was transferred to
this institution, and has been in all respects
a genuine deaf mute. Last Sunday be was
attacked with severe neuralgic pain in the
head and chest, resulting in perfect restora-
ton Of hearing and the loss of sight, with
out even the power of raising the eyelids.
His faculty of speech had not returned to
him, but he communicates by the manual
alphabet He still suffers considerable
pain.

ABOLISH THE FRANKiNG PRIV.
LEGE.


Among other changes to be recommended
by Postmaster General Creswell we under
stand will be the Abolition of the Franking
Privilege, This privilege when first intro
duced was doubtless a useful one, but it has
been so extended IN its application beyond
It's original intention aud 80 grossly abused
that the voice Of the people loudly demands
Its utter abolition. In so recommending
the Post master General only re-eehoes the
public sentiment We hope Congress will
hear aud heed. We have fought our poit-
zeal battles upon our record Of the past and
professions forthe future as the party Of Re
trenchment and Reform: Grant and his
cabinet have managed all their various de-
partments in full view of these pledges and
congress dare not disregard them. We
know that the Franking Privilege is in high
favor with many Senators and Congress
men, who have not been capable of rising
above the petty, partisan views of pot-house
politicians, but no one deserving the name
Of Statesman will fer moment doubt the
propuety OF abolisbing the Franking Abuse,
or any other abuse even if it had its origin
IN a mere privilege that was once not only
thought harmless but even proper and
desirable. 1t matters not how important
or even necessary privilege may be, when
ever 1t becomes, as the Franking Privilege
IS, notorious abuse, it should be unceremo-
niously and remorselessly abolished. If the
wishes ofthe people are not utterly disre
garded the coming session of Congress will
promptly abolish the Franking Privilege
Let all who favor it, demand it increasingly

THE sPEAKERsHIP of the HOUSE,

We see it noted in many Of our exchanges
that an active canvass is already on foot for
the Speakership at the coming session Of
the Legislature. Among the prominent
candidates we notice B. B. Strang of Tioga,
Of FASTING aud Folding notoriety. The
election in Pennsylvania was carried largely
on the ground of Retrenchment and Reform,
and economy 10 all the public expenditures.
The election of such a man as Strang to the
Speakership under such circumstances
would be scarcely less than crime. 1t
would certainly be fatal blunder He was
perhaps the beldest bad man in the last
Legislature, and his open, outspoken def
ance of public opinion and disregard of the
party pledges in advocating all sorts of jobs,
ought to mark him with such stamp OF
infamy that no member of the coming Leg.
islature who has spark of honor or self
respect would dare to vote for him. Let
there be decided expression of public sen
timent before the meeting Of the Legisla-
ture. The party is pledged to economy
and reform, and she must elect men who
will carry out her pledges

three hundred and forty forins. The his
tory of that violin is quite interesting.
Count Won Trautmansdorf, celebrated per

paying thlrty-fve gold pieces down On it,
anu agreeing to pay him, during the term
OF his natural life, twenty francs a month,
to pay his expenses for good dinner daily,
and to furnish him every year q gold
broldered coat, two tuns Of beer and twenty
kegs Of fruit. Stainer lived for sixteen
years, so that the violin cost the Count
about twenty-five thousand francs.
