w In the N. o. Repubican of the
9Th inst we find a Geographic letters
of the It'll relative to the Pennsylvania
election which we reproduce. Although
we regard a Republican triumph, as
almost certain we should not consider
q defeat by small majority as con-
elusive of the result in November, as
causes which operate in the State
will not influence the Presidential
election. Here is an extract on the
subject which we cut out some time
ago.
The Philadelphia P-ess says that Judge
Nercur, the Republican, candidate for Supreme
Court Judge in Pennsylvania, and Albright,
Todd; apd Scofeld, abe candidates for Con-
gressmen at large, will carry that State by
fifteen Thousand majority. But it advises
the Republicans TO vote against Hartramt
and Allen, the candidate for Governor and
Auditor The Lancaster Express takes the
rame around, and prints the whole Republic
can ticket at the head of its columns except
Hartranft and Allen. The Pittsburg chroni-
Gle asserts that Gen. Grant does not desire
Hartranft's election, and that his defeat will
be best for the Republican party.

Preparing for the Final Onset.

We are glad to observe that, notwith-
standing the fulsome boasts Of the
GRANTEES, who pretend to regard the
success OF Hartranft, in Pennsylvania, as
decisive of Grants reelection, the Libe.
raj Republicans and Democrats through
out the entire country are making stre-
nuous efforts to marshal their full force
for the final struggle on next Tuesday
week. The most encouraging reports
are sent in from all quarters. but most
particularly from the central Western
States. It is confidently stated that
there were more Democrats in Ohio " 40
didn't vote than will be required to over
come the Radical majority in that State,
already reduced from $1,000 to between
5000 and $1,000. The Liberal Republi-
can and Democratic leaders are devoting
themselves, with great energy, to chilling
oat this luke-warm element of the De-
mocraoy, and feel sure Of success. They
would have voted in the recent State
election, but, undertaking the Liberal
Republican acquisitions, they thought it
was useless; now, being convinced that
the election rests with them, they are
coming out manfully, attending the
meetings and canvassing for Greeley.
From Illinois, which, in 1863, wen {
for Grant by over $4,000 majority, the
most gratifying intelligence and the
strongest assurances are given by hope.
full Greeleyites that the State will cast
its electoral vote for the sage of Cha ppa-
qua. We can scarcely hope so much
ourselves. Nor would we care to lay q
heavy wager that either Illinois or Ohio
will vote for Greeley. This is more than
We expect. and far more than we need.
But it is very inspiriting to know that a
State like Illinois, with majority four
years ago for Grant of more thaa $4,000
votes, is now considered doubtful. This
would seem to settle pretty certainly ly
which way all of the originally doubtful
States will go, much less than all of
which will make Greeley our next Presi-
dent, free the South, reform the Co.
vernment, and throw the country into
an era of prosperity and good feeling
hitherto unknown.

The San Juan Boundary Question.


One of the articles of the treaty of
Washington, under which the arbitra-
tion for the settlement of the Alabama
claims was agreed upon, provided also
for the settlement of the San Juan
boundary question, by referring the
matter to the decision of Emperor
William of Prussia. The royal arbiter
very wisely submitted the knotty ques-
ton to bpard or committee of eminent
German jurists for their examination
and advice. These have presented to
the Emperor their written judgment,
which is said to sustain entirely the
American side of the case, and which
awaits only the signature of the Emp eror
to become binding and irrevocable.
The opinion of the jurists to whom the
Emperor has confded the matter, of
course. does not bind him positively, but
it is scarcely probable that he would
vary much. if anything. from their de-
cree. He has withheld his signature
however. for some time, 80 says the Ber-
lin correspondent of the Herald, owing
to the diplomatic efforts of the British
Government. through their Minister to
Berlin, Odo Russell, to persuade him to
modify the judgment which has been
rendered. This, it is claimed on the
Americon side, cannot be done. The
question admits of but two sensible 80.
lations--either the American view must
be maintained, and the line of demarca.
ton drawn through the Canal De Haro.
or else, as the English claim, through
Rosario Strait. = No middle or comuro.
mise ground can be taken, for there is
no intermediate channel; and inasmuch
as the commissioners learned in the law.
whom the Emperor called upon for their
advice, have given it in favor Of the
Canal De Haro, it may very safely be as-
sumed that suoh will be the final award.
The United States will thus have gained
all that she has contended for, and will
acquire undisputed title to number of
islands--San Juan, Orcas. Blakely, and o
number Of other, smaller cnes considered
OF much value. There is no room here
for England to resort again to the bluff
game. which she played SO successfully
in connection with the Geneva arbitra-
ton. She will, doubtless. have the good
sense TO submit gracefully. this time.

MR.. EDITOR: It has been q matter
OF considerable import among the mem-
bers OF the Presbyterian Church of this
city, whether or no they should change
their 'stated supply" for permanent
pastor" Rev. DR.. Wilson has held po-
sition rs Stated supply" so acoeptably
to the congregation, for the past two
years nearly, that much surprise was
evinced by many of his congregation,
upon learning that he had offered his re-
signation to the church session. Action
upon this was held last Sunday, after
regular church service, and without the
voters having beon previously informed
that DIR. Wilson's resignation was merely
to test the question whether they de-
sired the present arrangement to CONT
nne or no, they proceeded to vote upon
q oandidate-one DR.. LIE Fvere. The
first ballot showed Is to7 A gentleman
voting in the majority then proposed to
make the vote unanimous! Such pro-
ceedlng, OF course, met with no opposi
ton. We find in the last issue of the
Southern Presbyterian the following:
''The session nominated the Rev. J. A.
LoFovre, d. D., of Baltimore, md,
Without opposition, he was unanimously
called to the pastorate of the church."
The writer knows nothing of the can
didate, but feels certain that no such
man as DR.. LeFevre can be induced to
accept charge on any such vote. Let
we'll enough alone. OBSERVER.

MEN Or Few WORDS. Some men use
words as riAemen use bullets. They say
but little. The few words used go right
to the mark. They let you talk, and
guide with their hands and face, on and
on. till what you say can be answered in
q word or two. and then they lance out a
sentence, pierce the matter to the quick,
and are done. Your conversation falls
into their mind as river into deep
chasm, and is lost from sight by its
depth and darkness. They will some-
times surprise you with few words that
go to the mark like gun-shot, and then
they are silent again, as if they we're re-
loading. Such men are safe counsellors,
and true friends where they profess to
be such. To them, truth is more vslua-
BILE than gold. while pretension is too
gauzy to deceive chem. Words without
point. to them, are like titles without
merit. only betraying the weakness of
the blinded dupes who are ever used as
promoters OF other mems schemes.
