Pennsylvania the Battle Ground.
Hancock Should be tho Leader.
From the Philadelphia Press. Of Saturday.
PENNSYLVANIA.

We have not been among those who have
discounted the strength of the opposition.
Looking back at the results Of the several State
elections in the last three years, the Democratic
party alone a unassistei is strong enough to
contest the field stubborply and with no mean
show Of sue -. This party has gradually
gained contro. Of the entire South, with the ex-
ception of three States, and even these We now
hold by the slightest OF tenurcs In Louisiana the
Republican party is torn and rent by quarreis
over the spols of Office; Of Mississippi our infor.
nation is that it has been WAlker,zed, and even
in South Carolina, where our majority il more
than 10000, the shameless frauds of Gov. Scott
and State Treasurer Parker, members of ring
as corrupt and guilty as Twccd's gang, have so
Disguised the colored people that they are form
ing an "ionest Republican Party" All these
signs are not To be disregarded or dismissed as
trifles. 11oiace Greeley is weak candidate
offensive to the Germans and Democrats, to
whose ideas, principles, and organization he
has always been opposed but still he is not to
be despsed.
Pennsylvania will be the battle-ground of the
year We believe that the great majority of its
people prefer Grant and Wilson, and that these
two men are certain to receive its electoral vote
except in one contingency. ilartrlnft and
Allen, who are upon the Republican State tick
ct ~ candidates for Governor and Auduor Gen
eral, have no more chance of b,ing elected thar
Greeley has of carrying Lancaster county. an,
the only way in which Grant can be defeated il
this State Is by associatng his name with their
and by allowing the policy of their friends t,
prevail, and to read out OF the party and exre
from office all whs are opposed 10 them
We have the best of information from ever,
section OF the State, and we know the public
sentiment that is abroad. Grant will carr,
Pennsylvania, and Harlranft and Allen will b
beaten, provided the latter are divorced from
the former, and the fight is made upon tn
merits OF each candidate.

Tho Indictments.

rha comments of the Republican on the politi-
:, ;rd;ctments in the U. s Court, furnish strong
[..,,t n US that the indictments of the Levy
|ro,rt were the work OF political malice. That
paper says:
/ ..The Grand Jurors heard only one side of the
o.se. and as witnesses swore positively to alleged
,mssions of duty and violations of the law, they
oouId not do otherwise than return bills OF indict-
msnt unless they had entirely disregarded the OBJ
legations resting upon them"
These witnesses wers brought there for pur-
nose that purpose had doubtless been carefully
studied and worked up before the meeting Of the
Court. The money paid the witnesses and aris-
inp from the case also had important bearings.
We understand that the Levy Court put the
name Of every man on the tax lists who applied to
be put on In person, and that they we're far more
liberal in this respect than their Radical prede-
csssors, or than the law Of the State required them
to be.
These proceedings will end in heavy costs to
the county. and result IN good to the prosscu.
tors who alone will make little money out of them
and thus add to the taxes which the white people
will have to pay.
The charge that the Levy Court deliberately
couspirsd to undermine and overthrow the law i,
a sheer fabrication, of which the Republican
should feel ashamed.

Of every editor present and every individual IN

The World reporter says:

less than one hundred thousand dollars. He is

How was this to be done? Not by the Came

ever that may he, it will ease the Camerons not
less than zone hundred thousand dollars and
for aught now know, it may save them from
paying double that sum. Is it strange, then
that the Camerons fight for the control of the
Auditor Generals Office and the State Treasury!
With half a million Of outstanding capital il
favor OF the State in their control, and with 4
quarter of million Of responsibility in thu
vault OF the Treasury, it is not surprising tina
they struggle to keep the Auditor under thei
thumb, to carry the State Treasury in thei

that quarantine regulations arr considered so ne
