PLUNDERINe THE PEOPLE.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette we
learn that a Democratic ring of
county officers has been plundering
the people of York county, in
that State, for the past twelve years.
AS fast as the people paid their
taxes the ring officials put them in
their pockets on some pretext or
other until the debt of the county
exceeded three hundred thousand
dollars. "Halt," was called then,
and an investigation ordered, which
was bringing to light extraordinary
rascalitles. The Auditing Commit
tee charged with the investigation,
had collected testimony enough to
prove fifty thousand dollars had
been stolen. This alarmed the ring,
and Tweed's bold strike in stealing
vouchers seems to have occurred to
them as away out of the trouble.
So on Monday night of last week,
the court house in the borough of
York was "entered by burglars" all
the remaining accounts for the past
six years, the books containing the
recordsof notes issued by the coun-
ty, and, most important of all, the
Auditors report itself, taken. Un-
less the thieves are discovered and
the reports secured the committee
will be entirely at the mercy of the
ring, as the reports were to have
been filed at the November term of
court. This purloining evidence
has created more excitement than
the original robberies, and will go
hard with the scoundrels if they
are caught. In the meantime Gre
form Democracy" is at as much dis
count in 'slittle York." as it is in
big York.

ORGANIZE.

On Tuesday next the people ol
the United States will meet at Their
respective places of holding elec,
tions, and cast their vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The Oc.
tober election resulted in sweeping
victories for the Republican party
The people are aroused to the great
interest at stake in the coming con-
test. They have spoken so decided
ly in the last that leaves not a doubt
but that the result will be an over
whelming victory for Republican
principles on the fifth of November
But in order to do this the Republi.
cans must stand right up to the
work, and never finch until the polls
are closed next Tuesday evening
Every man must be at his post and
see that everything is done fairly
and squarely. The Greeley party
claims that they can make two hun.
dred more majority in this county
over the State election. That would
give them over seventeen hundred
majority which is more than they
can possibly give by fair means.
Look out for tricks in some of the
back townships. Let the Republi-
cans in every township give that
day entirely to the service of the
party, and guard the polls and see
that no one votes who is not enti.
tied to vote.

CROPS IN EUROPE.

Accounts from Europe confirm
the reports previously received OF
great destruction among the crops
by the heavy and almost incessant
autumnal rains. The summer sea-
son was severe enough in this re-
spect, and how the continued incle-
mency through the fall can be borne
it is difficult to surmise. The ex-
tent Of the privatlons that must be
occasioned can only be conceived
when it is recollected that the mas
ses of the people in Europe, depend
mainly upon agriculture for support,
and having in most instances no
store laid away for the rainy day,
the visitation this year cannot fail
to bear very heavily upon them.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

A sad accident occurred a. few
days ago at the house of Mr.. jacob
Ambros, in Perry township, result
ing in the death of his youngest son
aged about seven years.
The circumstances, as we learn
them, were as follows: The family
were engaged in boiling cider, pre-.
paratory to making apple butter,
and had taken from the fire a kettle
of boiling cider and placed it on
the floor in an outhouse near by,
and proceeded to take off the sec
ond kettle. In the meantime, the
little boy went in to the house where
the kettle had been placed, and was
standing in the door when they
brought the second kettle, and in
attempting to get out of the way,
backed from the door against the
kettle which staggered him and he
was plunged into the boiling con-
tents; when taken out and the
clothes taken off, the flesh, in many
places, would drop from his body.
He lived about twenty-fOur hours
when death relieved him of his ter
rible sufferings.-Ashland Press.

By the President of the United States o,
America-A Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-WHEREAs,
The revolution Of another year has
again brought the time when it is
usual to look back upon the past,
and publicly thank the Almighty
for his mercies and his blessings ;
and
WHEREAS, if any one people has
more occasion than another for such
thankfulness, it is the citizens of the
United States, whose government is
their creature, subject to- their be-
hests; who have reserved to them
selves ample civil and religious free
dom and equality before the law;
who during the last twelve months
have enjoyed exemption from any
grievous or general calamity. and to
whom prosperity in agriculture,
manufactures, and commerce has
been vouchsafed. Therefore, by
these considerations, ] recommend
that on Thursday, the 2Sth day of
November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship,
and there make their acknowledge
ments to God for his kindness and
bounty.
In witness whereof, / hereunto
set my hand. and cause the seal of
the United States to be affixed. ..
Done at the city of Washington this

GETTING THEIR EYES oBEN

They are getting their eyes open
ed in the South. The October elec-
tions have done much toward the
manipulations of their diseased op-
tics, and the consequence is that the
Democrats of that region begin to
see that there is not much to be
gained through Liberal support.
the Columbus. Ga, Sun refuses to
be longer hoodwinked or bambooz-
led. 1t says bluntly: disguise
it as we may,and with all the asser-
tions, predictions, wishes and hopes
to the contrary, Notwithstanding, the
late elections in the Middle States
demonstrated that Liberal Republi-
canism is a failure. The leaders
at Baltimore were mistaken as to
strength of party cords and section
al antagonisms, and in clutching af-
ter shadow the substance is lost.'

Vote for General Grant, If
you want the public debt

A ST RAW,

New Jersey, if we are to take the
charter election in Newark as an
index, points to the choice of the
Grant electors for that State. The
triumph of the Republican ticket
was a magnificent one: 5,I63 major
ity was obtained. being a gain of
more than 900 on Mayor Ricard' )
majority last October, and of 1924
from Gov. Pacher's majority in
November, 1871. Liberal Republi-
canism does not seem to work any
better in New Jersey than in Pene-
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The
State is always close, but it may be
set down for Grant and Wilson in
November.

WORK.

There remain but few more days
for work before the 9Th of Novem
ber will be on hand. 1t is important
that there be no tagging, no over
confidence, no feeling in our ranks
that Gen. Grant will be elec
ted anyhow, and that the October
verdicts have settled the question
They have settled the matter if the
Republicans of the country come up
in their might as they did in the re
cent State elections. There should
be no falling off in our majorities
They can and will be increased en-,
ormously if every friend of General
Grant and good safe government
will but do his duty.

ON THE WRONG HORSE.

After all the noise about election
frauds and arrests in Luzerne Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, it turns out, as
might have been expected, that the
saddle belongs on the Democratic
horse. The Twelfth Ward ofScran.
ton was the seat of war in this case
the only locality about which any
difficulty has arisen in Luzerne
County-and in that ward, the
Scranton Republican says, the to-
tai number of voters registered was
G61, and the Democratic majority
returned is 1,2l6! AS we have be
fore stated, two supervisors ofelec-
ton in that ward were driven away
by a Democratic mob. This, so far
as we have discovered, is the only
case of enormous ''fraud' definitely
proved in Pennsylvania.

VIII LANoUs FRAUDS IN GEORGIA

The Greeleyites claim a glorious
victory in Georgia. Let us see
whether it is glorious or not.
The population of Georgia, ac-
cording to the census of 1872, num-
bered 1,1S4, 100 souls, of whom 63S-
936 are white, and 545, ,142 colored.
Taking the basis of one voter in
five, (which is rather an over esti-
mate, but as it will work both ways
the result attained is fair one,
we shall have 127,7S5 white l09,O2s
colored voters. Will any candid
person believe for moment that
with only 1877 white majority
there could be an honest Democrat
ic majority of $4,000, or more OBJ
tanned in Georgia?
1t is impossible that such results
could be obtained in the face of the
facts the country is cognizant OF
without a systematic terrorizing ex-
clusion from the polls of the class
of voters most accessible to such
methods, and if let alone will be
sure to go against the Democracy,
The truth of the matter has leak
ed out. Their triumph was obtain
ed by fraud, violence, intimidations,
ballot box stuffing and murder. 1t
is estimated as the above figures
will clearly show, that nearly one
half of the Republicans abstained
from voting through fear of person
al violence. In Macon, colored Re
publicans were barborously massa-
cred in cold blood. Throughout
the whole State rascality was prac-
ticed on a large scale. The bloody
chasm was Redeemed by fresh gore.
Violence reigned everywhere. The
poetic sentiments of reconciliation
preached by Greeley and his friends
was fifty illustrated by the precon-
certed slaughter of innocent men.
Let the Greeleyparty fiaunt its fraud.
ulent and bloody majority in Geor-
gia in the force of the nation. II
will speak with more telling force
against Greeley, than anything else
that could be done. The country
now sees that the election of Gree.
ley means the reinauguration of
bloody times. Shall the Ku-Klux
be suppressed, or rean mated? Grant
will strike them down, Greeley will
lift them up. Grants election
means order in the South; Greeley's
anarchy. Let every one ponder well
these things before casting his vote
in November, and if he has the
least doubt as to the propriety OF
voting for Greeley and run the risk
of bringing these things upon the
country, let him vote on the safe
side, cast his vote for Grant and
Wilson. 4'

Give the entire day, on
Tuesday, to getting voters
to the polls.

Perhaps the greatest lesson OF
the October elections is that no
man owns any great numbers OF
votes. Mr. Sumner begins to real
ize this fact, and Schurz, we have
every retson to believe, ,comprehends
it in its fullest extent.

was taken of the students of Yale

DISASTROUS HARVEST IN SCOT

DISASTROUS HARVEST IN SCOIr
.I LAND.
The harvest Of Scotland is, accOr-
ing to the Scotsman, the wettest
and most disastrous that has been
know since the year 1916, when
what were known as the Meal Riots
took plaae The heavy and contin-
ued fall of rain during the second
week of September drenched the
sheaves of cut grain through and
through, which is in many cases an
irreparable mischief. A good ma
ny samples of oats and wheat, as
well as barley, have been shown in
Edinburg Corn Exchange during
the first three weeks, but when com
pared with grain of the 1871 crop,
they exhibit an astonishing and
deplorable deterioration, bat even
that does not show the full damage
done to the crop, because all the
grains that had seriously sprouted
had been taken out of the samples
by means of screens and riddles.
The worst fears regarding the potato
crop have been realized, and an il
lustration of the extent of the fail
ure of the crop is given. In ordin-
ary years a stout man, with three
assistants 1.-TWO women and a boy },
could easily raise and weigh for mar
ket eight bolls, or thirty-two cwt.,
potatoes every day. For the last
fort might it has taken very active
man and three assistants to one and
half bolls, or six cwt., of sound
and three bolls, or twelve cwt., Of
diseased potatoes every day. All
this is bad news for the winter.

thing like the distemper. The
horse is seized with a cough and

ANOTHER JUDIcioUs APPOINTMENT


President Grant has added once
more to his already long list ofadml-
rable appointments by designatingas
United States Consul to Liverpool
Ex- Governor Lucius Fairchild OF
Wisconsin. Governor Fairchild is
a native of Portage county in this
State, and in the midst of a brill
lant career as a soldier in the late
war, he lost his right arm at Gettys-
burg. He has been one of the ablest
governors that Wisconsin ever had,
and by his high minded, unswerv-
ing fidelity to Republicanism dur
ing the present campaign, has made
his gift of elequence a valuable ad-
junct to the good cause. He is a
poor man, an able and conscientious
man, and he wears his empty sleeve
modestly and without any sentimen-
tai repinings. The Consulship at
Liverpool is the most lucrative for
eign appointment in the gift of our
GovernOrment, and no one better
deserves it, or will discharge its dn-
ties better than Governor Fairchild.
