NEw YORK, Oct. 20.-A Philadelphia cor
respondent, who has good facilities for sssr-
tanning what is enacted in the Grant cam
paign in that State, says the amount ex-
pended by the state Republican Committee
to elect HaFtrsnft Amounted 10 three million
dollars. The revolt of Mcclure, Cortin,
Fordey, Hickman, Moorhead, Marshall, and
a dczsn or more Republican newspapers,
constitute the reason for this enormous ex-
psndituTe. The programme laid down by
the Grant Committee WAS to impress the
public with the estimation in which Buck&-
lew, and Hartranfs, and Curtin were held by
their neighbors, by causing Buckslew and
Curtin to run far below, and HsrtrsnfI far
above, the general average Of their tickets
al their respective homes. This required
an expenditure of $4,000 in each of the
three counties. In Luzsrne, one of the
strongholds of the Democrats, q much lar
ger sum was expended, and with effect, for
the Democratic maj GRITTY wAS greatly Eeduo-
ed, some Of Grants revenue officers are
likely to be in the condition that q pardon
from HArtranft will be necessary to their
promotion. In Lancaster, green nbscks we're
lAvished without stint, aud, IL is charged, on
oath, that one of Grants revenue officers in
Lancaster City was in the market to buy
Democratic judges at 5000 a head, provided
they reduced the Buckalew vote 100 in their
respective polling places Remarked this
revenue officer: 81 had no occasion to buy
Judges of Election, when an endless num-
Der of Germans offered to vote for Hartranfs
at from 81 to 81 = head This fling at the
Germans is, doubtless, 9 malignant device
to obscure the fact that voters who sold
themselves we're Bourbon Democrats Of ma
tive production.
