PENNsYLvAN1A.-.The Republican victory

PENNsYLvANIA.-.TheR Republican victory
in Pennsylvania is so gigantic in its proper
lions as to be almost incomprehensble.
Grants majority is more than twice as
large as the whole vote of Maryland. The
official returns from all the counties ex-
cept two or three-and these are estimated
give Grant 344. 800 to PIC, 900 for Greeley.
A majority of 1874, 500 is something that
no candidate for President, or any other
office, has ever heretofore obtained in
Pennsylvania. The gentlemen who have
been crying out &c fraud - colonization,
"ballot- box stuffing" must feel exceeding
ly cheap when they look at these figures.
Those forty colored men whose march in
the direction of Cumberland county, just
before the October election, so greatly
alarmed The Baltimore Gazette, must have
been indefinitely multiplied in number
We notice that Cumberland county gave
$50 mojority for Buckalew, but reversing
it's vote in November, gave 800 majority
for Grant. Did the forty colored men re-
main and assist in carrying the county for
Grant, Or did they return to Western
Maryland to aid in sending Lowndes to
Congress? We should like to know some
thing more about this invasion of Penn
sylvania from the border counties of Mary
land, and above all we want to be inform
ed as to in which State the colored railroad
hands voted in November. Republican
voters seem to abound IN great profusions
in both States.-Bah. american.
p. S.-The official majority is stated to
be 138, 251. &.

-Trumbull is catching it all round. The
Germantown Telegraph pays its respects to
the Illinois Senator in this style:
Lyman Trumbull may be regarded as
the worse beaten and the most disappoint-
ed of all the soreheads, and he is richly
entitled to be. There will be few tears
shed over his grave. When he first began
his fault-findng with the Administration
he denied all unfriendliness to the Presi-
dent and ate his dinners. But his selfish
ness and aspirations got the better of him
until he struck out for himself and headed
a party, and then to clinch his departure
poured ont in bitter and vindictive speech
es hot hostility to the measures of an Ad-
ministra,ion, in not one of which could he
point to other than an imaginary wrong,
started simply to justify his inexplainable
course. The people of Illinois, whom he
so patted on the back, have settled their
little account with him by shelving him, as
leader, for the rest of his life"

B The Democrat attributes the great
Greeley beat in this county, to "exhaust-
less resources of men and money for the
departments supplied BOTH" We know
that this charge has been made so often
that great many intelligent people be-
leve that money is taken from the United
States treasury to use in electioneering
purposes. There never was greater de-
fusion. An election campaign all know
can't be carried on without funds to defray
the unavoidable expenses, any more than
any other business. Travelling expenses
of speakers, carriage hire, music, papers,
documents, etc., all require money to make
them go. But the money is not supplied
from the treasury. Office holders are So
licited for contributions, which they doubt
less feel under party obligations to make,
and considerable sums are raised from this
source; but these collections go into the
hands of State and National committees,
which as far as our knowledge extends
have never disbursed much in this quarter
of the globe. With all the grumbling of
the Greeleyites about plethoric Radical
pockets and bags of greenbacks, we know
that there was considerable less than 5000
found its way to this county in the can
vass, and necessary expenses had to be met
by private contributions among the Re
publicans of the county.
There was mighty sight of gas published
about exhaustless supplies of green
backs" but it all existed in the anxious
minds of our Greeley friends.
The Republican party went at the work
with a will; and with good cause and
brave hearts they were enabled to gain a
most signal victory. The Greeley Democ-
racy had more money than we had. Their
Congressional fund was doubtless consider
able, notwithstanding they grumbled
about being poor; and they had the local
Office holders to squeeze. They felt poor
perhaps in comparison with their condi-
ton in former campaigns when the Free
Trade League poured its treasures into
Maryland to elect Congressman for their
on.l,ught on the tariff, and again when the
B. & 0. R. R. wanted Legislature favor
able to it's interests.
The Cecil Radicals - that the Demo
crate suspects of being supplied with fabu-
lous sums to buy the votes of it's immacu-
late party, when they have solicited aid
from abroad have generally received in
stead Of greenbacks the advice that Jupiter
gave the wagner. If we were supplied
with the abundant means The Democrat
never tires of charging, to invest in the pur-
chaseapble stock of its party, magnifying
glass would soon have to be used to find a
trace of the Democracy in Cecil. The
Republican party is recuperating its forces
from the thinking. honest men of that
party, who are tired Of its fine promises
and bad performances, and it is the chat
tells, purchaseable stock that constitutes
the main strength of the party. A liberal
supply of the tabled Custom House and
other treasures we hear so much about,
would soon make an end of Democracy.

the total vote polled in the State was 1872,
