GREAT FRAuDs.-ph philadelphia and
Pittsburgh are not the only places
where hugo election frauds were per-
petrated on the sth. Shoemaker, the
Radical Congressman elect in the Lu-
zerne district, and half u dozen other
leading loyalists, have been arrested
for bribing election officers. One
Judge in Scranton swears that Shoe
maker offered him any sum he might
name if hc would sec that his pre-
cinct wonld give him an even vote
with the Democratic candidate. The
precinct in that ward contains 100
Democrats and Radicals. 1t looks
now as though Shoemaker would go
to the penitentiary, instead of Con
gress. This will be job for Geary
or the Cody Hartranit TO pardon him.

ViLLAINY.-Our Supreme Court de-
cided very properly about year ago,
in case which arose at Allentown,
this State, that students residing at u
college "for no other purpose than to
obtain collegiate cducat ion, are not
legal voters ut that place. 1t is not
their residence under tho Constitu-
tion." They can, therefore, vote only
at the procirct in which they resided
previous TO going TO college. Or, in
other words, at their homes.
This is sound law and holds good
against white students, bpt it seems
the negroes and their allies disregard
cd the decision in Chester county at
the late election. There is negro
college at Oxford, in that county, and
all the negro students old enough,
were marched up to the polls and
voted. Scores of white students lost
their votes, or had 10 pay fifteen or
twenty dollars TO 20 home to VOTE
But IL seems that neither constitutions,
laws or decisions are of any account
when unsuited to or interfere with the
negro.

We furnished our thrce-story-brick
neighbor with big lot Of copy last
week. But no should not take on 90
about drunkenness on the streets,
after the exhibition given in the Court
House on the night of the Radical
county convention. Whisky on that
occasion ruled supreme, and literally
drowned Judge McEnally. Now, we
d. not intend to convey the idea that
the Judge was drunk, because he does
not drink, but We never saw more
drunken men, or men who behaved
like drunken men, in that room on
any occasion. The late Radical tu-
mutt in the streets was not any worse
,han tho riot in the Court House
Whisky ruled on that occasion, and it
was very evident that it held sway
during tho late torchlight procession.
Yet, neither of these gatherings were
Democratic meetings
The attempt of the editor of the
Journal to convey the idea that none
but Democrats were drunk or misbe-
haved on the occasion Of the. Radical
jubilee, may pass for orthodoxy with
him, but in moral point it is bad
example TO set before Sunday School
because all who witnessed
the affair know better, and they might
infer that professed Christian could
be turned into mere partizan, freed
from all moral restraint, and thus be-
come victims of misplaced confidence
and made to believe lie.
If the members of our party shohld
ever misbebave rs outrageously on
any occasion ms somebody did on the
occasion cited, we shall denounco their
not defend it, or, what is
worse, try TO put tho blame on some
body else We are no temperance
oigot, and never belonged 10 any OF
is lodges, bands or wigwams, yet, we
,annot defend drunkenness.

Way CERTAIN MoNIED MEN ARE FOR
GRAST.--Lct us see why certain mon
led men are for Grant. 1t has been
discovered that Mr.. Boutwell, loans
the gold belonging to the government
to certain bankers and without inter
est, these bankers giving ms collateral
an equal amount Of the bonds Of 1862
In this manner the bankers get the
use of tho government gold for moth
ing, and the interest besides accruing
upon the bonds. What banker would
not bc for Grant under these crcum-
stances, but what shall be said of and
done with the Secretary OF tho Treas
ury aud the President, who permits
government money TO be thu' loaned
out to favorites and partisan friends
Do the people care anything for this :
favorilism, this insidious but effective
system Of corruption?

I,Ofe for President.

Below will be found the official vote
cast in 1865 for President, by States.
Florida, Mississippi, Texas and yir-
ginia were excluded from the College
because they were hot reconstruct
ed" 1t is true, the two former States
voted under the bayonct rule for
Grant, but they had only ten electors
while those voting for Mr.. Seymour
had sixteen. Making square cheat
of six electors in favor of Grant. The
moment Radical was upbraided for
this outrage, hc would cite the fact
that two States which voted for
Grant were also excluded; but he
never stated that the Grant States
only cast ten votes while the States
voting for Mr.. Seymour cast sixteen.

Pretty Strong Proof

To fully satisfy any man not blind
ed by party bigotry that there is
something radically wrong in our
public affairs, and that the opposition
party is rotten TO the core, we need
but refer to tho bright and shining
lights which have deserted that orga-
nization and como over to the Demo
cracy. Take for instance Ex-Governor
Curtin, Col. Slifer, Ex-senator Bill
lingfelt, Gen. Moorehead, Col. Nc.
Clure, Marshall, and scores of Others
who heretofore have been the bright
est ornaments in the ranks of the op
position. What has caused them to
break with their friends? Corrup-
tion The organization Of their party
has fallen into the hands of ambitious
aud unscrupulous demagogues, who
as freely rob the State or National
Treasury of 100000 and defend their
acts as o christian would say his
prayers.
On the other hand, is it not re-
markable that while the Radical door
stands wide cpeo, inviting Democrats
in to assist them to piuadcr the pco.
pie, but two individuals who have
held any trust or welded any infu-
once in the Democratic party have
taken the bait 7 And they have held
back seat for over six years. We
allude to DR.. Geo. w. Porter, of IIar-
risburg, and Geo. W. Brewer, Esq, Of
Chambersburg. The former is a
brother of the thing in regimontals
which guards the entrance to the
smoking department at the Presidcn.
tial Mansion-Gen. Horace Porter
The latter is nephew OF Simon Cam
eron. Their conversion is easily ac-
counted for. Plundcr is what they
are after. They baye exchanged their
Democratic birth-Fgbt for y mess Of
pottage.
We will also state that our party
has got rid Of its frcebootcrs in Phila.
delphia, which have been q curse alike
to tho party and the State for years.
Thank God, we nrc rid of them
Cameron purchased tho whole flock,
and In their stead we have received
no less than $4,000 Of tho best busi-
ness men in tha. city, who have here.

STILL BLIsD.-That clerical dcma.
goguc and hypocrile, Rev J. p. New
man, of Washington, has been invcs-
,ignting tho charges of drunkenness
against Grant. For that purpose he
has spent week at Grants cottage at
Long Branch. He dined with Grant
and Grant dined with him. AS a ro-
suit OF his investigations be concludes
that Grant is "a sober, honest, true
man, fearing God and loving the
church." While at Long Branch he
says he examined carefully all the in
stances OF intoxlcation which have
boo. p"ti;-i.-J and ;.. .----s 's'ss,nov
they were false He probably never
heard OF Grants spree up the Susquc-
hanna two years ago. Let the rover

Now,supposing the Democratic party
able to hold its own in these States,
it is not difficult TO discover way TO
success in this Presidential contest. -
To these 1873 electoral votes VIC may
safely add New York, which, with its
35 electoral votes. increases the num-
Der to l73 1t requires only 1874 votes
to elect u President; and there arc
sources enough from which we could
make up the other L with proper cx-
ertion. Connecticut, which the Grant
party. carried last spring "by tho skin
OF their tcctl,," might give us o Of the
requisite IL, leaving only to be
sought elsewhere. We have good
chances in Louisiana, which has s
electoral votes-making three more
than we need. We have also chances
in Arkansas, in spite of the disiran-
chisement, which would increase the
Democratic majority in tho Electoral
Colleges from to Q. Then there il
no reason why we should quito de-
spair of Illinois and Ohio, either OF
which alone added TO the Democratic
States would give us a handsome ma
jority.-N. Y. World.

A MATTER OF OPINION. THE editor
Of tho Journal intimatcs in his last
issue that tho names of honest men
attached to the tars and stripes de6lcs
and dishonors that emblem Of liberty
and moral aud legal rights. But that
the names of jockeys, present takers,
and men who go to the pcnitentiary
for certificates of good character, are
exceedingly proper and ornamental.
Well, as that is matter Of education
and taste, we shall moi attempt to de-
bate that question with him. Our
views do not run in that gutter.

ASHAMED oF THEIR Jon, The editor
Of the Easton Argus says: The clcc-
tion in Philadelphia was II grand tri-
ump of the Roughs, Rcpeatcrs, Thieves,
Convicts, Cameron & Co. We were
in tho city two days last week, and
were not surprised to hear honest Re-
publicans express their regrets at the
result. They felt that their city had
been disgraced by minority never
voted by their citizens.
Hundreds, yes, thousands OF Repub-
Iicans, arc disguised with the way
Hartranft was elected, and rather than
vote again along with repeating ne
grocs and purchased cattle, will stay
away from the polls in November
next, or else vote TO repndiate such
rascalty by voting for Horace Greeley.

SARCASTIC The Cincinnati Com
mercidl is disposed 10 DO sarcastic, at
the expense of the good people in
Pennsylvania who certified that Hart
ranft was man after their own heart,
Just listen to it: "Cameron is prac.
lical old gentleman and greatly be-
loved on his native soil. His care
when Secretary OF War TO give his
sons horse contracts is approved 10y
every fond and patriotic parent il his
proud and prosperous State. Hart
ranft is practical man. His viola
ton of u technicaliiy Of the law in the
effort to amass competency for him
self ty circulating public money was
an enterprise that touched the hearts
OF the people Of the polite old Com
monwealth. The proof that he vio-
lated bis trust as public officer in be-
half of his private fortune, gave him
popular sympathy and promotion. 1t
is tit that Hartranft should bc Cover
nor of Pennsylvania, and wc are sure
the gracious people Of that goodly old
State will join us in tossing of cup
Of cold water to the health and long
life of Simon Cameron--ihe most gor-
geous old rascal in practical Pennsyl-
vania."

CLEANING Our.-Republicans who
voted for Buckalcw in preference to
Hartranit, says the Phia. Age, are be-
ing read out of the party by The Cam
eron "Ring" Since that corrupt or
ganization carried the late election by
open, impudent, unblusbing fraud,
they consider real voters of little nc
count. A few counters and rcpeaters
will do the whole business, without
the trouble Of bringing so many peo-
pie to the polls. But there is IN end
to all wicked, disreputable schemes,
and the end of "lling" rule is coming.
Tho people have been alarmed by the
conduct of Cameron and bis friends in
this city and State, and there viii bo
a healthy reaction, when all the facts
are scattered broadcast through the
Common wealth.

Mr.. Scofeld carried the district in
