In a contested election cas-. in Yenango
county, Judge Turnkey, one OF the clearest
and ablcst Judges in the State, decided sey-
eral points of much public interest.
lst. In one case the law fixed tho place for
holding the election at an old school house.
A new one had been built at about 80 rods
distance, 10 take its place, and tho officers
held at election of the latter. The Judge
rejected the return deciding that "if an cleo
tion be held without necessity, at different
place from the one designated by law, the en-
tire poll must be rejected"
ID. The law disqualde. persons in the
service Of the United States from acting as
election officers. In one case postmaster
had served as such and on this ground it was
sought to throw out the return.
While the Court condemned in plain
terms the gross violation of the constitution
and the laws ofthe State on the part of in
dividuals who assume and perform the du-
ties of an Office for which they are disquali-
fed, and said such men should not be allow
ed to escape a penalty, if one can be found
Tor the offence, it held that the action OF
these officers was valid, and the election
held by them legal.
The remaining question at issue related to
the legality of the votes of unregistered per-
sons who were not required to produce proof
If their qualifications at the time of voting.
Onthis point Judge Trunkey's review of au-
thoritics was full and elaborate. The gst OF
the decision is that "undcr the act of 1874,
the vote Of a person, whose name is not on
the registry list, without the proofs Of quail
iication, is Illegal when received, and cannot
be made legal by evidence ofqualiicaton on
the trial"
Therefore it is plainly the duty of elec-
ton officers to require proof in all cases from
persons offering to vote, whose names are not
on the registry list, and that fact should be
kept in mind for future occasions.

Gen Cockrell, Democrat recently elected
to the U. S. Senate by the Missouri Legisla-
turc in place of Carl Shurz, Republican,
madeas speech in acknowledge of the honor
in which he took strong ground against
the extension Of patents, by which people
using patented articles have to pay about
three times their value. This is one Of the
most outrageous abuses thai is now imposed
upon the public, and it is gratifying that
one able man has at length been elected to
Congress who is strong III the determination

Congressional.

The Radical leaders are having grand
time of it at Washington. The carpet
baggers demand the passage of the civil
rights bill and authority to Grant to suspend
the writ of haSsus corpus which would end
in remanding several of the southern States
back to territorial condition. As there was
opposition to this in the Republican ranks =
caucus was called, and under the leadership
OF Ben Butler it was agreed to repeal the rule
which requires vote Of two-thirds to take a
bill from the Speakers table. Strength to
adopt this in caucus was acquired by prams-
ing to pass number of plundering bills un-
der the same programme, as a majority vote
could then take up any thing, But to the
dismay of Butler and his carpet-bag friends,
when the vote on the caucus resolution was
reached in the House, some Radicals voted
against it, others lodged and many ran away,
1t therefore failed and a witches stew pre-
walls among all Radicaldom at Washington.
Various schemes are on foot to fix up mat
ters. OF the Republican members from tn
State, Ross of Potter voted no, and Kelley
and Schofeld sat in their seats but refused
TO vote.
The President has communicated addition
al Louisiana correspondence to the Senate,
being letters and dispatches from Gen.
Emory, lately in command, and Col. Nor
row, (the latter endorsed by Gen Sherman)
sustaining the views of the Congressional
subcommittee. Col. Morrow says. "The
present State government cannot main
tain itself in power single hour without
the protection of Federal troops, and even
with this protection they will not be able tu
collect taxes and perform the functions of
government. The State government has not
the confidence or respect of any portion of
the community" Further on he SAYS: "It
the expressions of the people are to be be-
lieved, and do believe them, there is very
sincere desire to live quietly under the pro,
lection Of the Constitution of the United
States and enjoy the blessings of the Nation
al Government. But there is no Disgusting
the fact that the protection afforded by the
Federal Administration to the government
of the present State Executive is the cause
of bitter personal and political feeling in the
breasts of nneteen-twenteths of the white
inhabitants of the State"

AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMsBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY,, LA.
Next Goysrnor's Elsetion.

The election for Governor next fall in
Pennsylvania will no doubt be one Of the
most exciting political contests that ever
took place on this continent. Upon its re-
suit will probably depesd the Presidential
election OF the next year, and the future eI-
lstence OF the republican party. 1t will be
politically death struggle The defeat Of
the Republican party then will be its utter
destruction and Anuthllation as po itical or
ganization With the State and Federal Gov
ornments in their hands, with all the power
and plunder in their grasp, and with their
bread and life at stake, OF course the Repub-
licaa leaders will leave no effort unemplo oy
ed to obtain success. The Democracy will
not be idle. Encouraged by their recent vic
tories they will make superhuman efforts to
crush their gigantic foe. The struggle must
necessarily be fierce. Now is the time to pre-
pare, and every Democrat should keep him
self well posted in regard to current events.
Tbs COLUMBIAN essays to discuss all cur
rent questions of public importance; to keep
close watch of parties and paOlic men, and
to report their actions and conduct faithfully;
to advise its readers OF all that is done or
proposed to be done by Congress or the Leg
islature that affects the public interest," be-
sides giving all the current news of the day,
local and general. Its readers, therefore,
when the great political contest of next fall
shall arrive, will be thoroughly posted on all
subjects that will enter into it, and will be
well prepared to meet the issue in all its
phases.
Columbia county ought to be able to give
from 1000 to 2.jOO majority to the Demo
cratic candidate, aud will do 50 with proper
effort. The very basis and most potent ele-
ment of successful effort isl thorough circula-
ton Of faithful and industrious party news
papers All experience shows that the local
paper is the best and most effective for this
purpose. May we not, therefore, appeal to
our Democratic friends every where through
out the county to see that the COLUMBIAN is
in the hands of all the Democratic voters
Not for our personal interest, for there is lit
tie or no profit on subscriptions but with
the direct view of swelling the Democratic
vote. Now is the time to prosecute this
work. Let every active Democrat feel it his
duty to send in five or ten names and as
many more as he can. They need not be ac-
companied by advance payment, all kinds OF
farm produce will at any time be accepted in
liquidation of subscriptions, and there is no
postage to pay on county papers. With prop
er effort the party in Columbia county can
be 50 organized that every Democratic vote
may be made available and the majority so
largely increased as to make it one Of the
most important and influential counties il
the State. Spirit anl eaergy ia all that is re-
quired. Shall the effort be made?

The election of Mr. Wallace to the Senate
of the United States requires the resignation
of his seat in the State Senate. We believe
it is held that he need not resign until the
commencement of his new term, March 4,
1872 bat if that be valid construction of
the law, We do not see why he may not re-
main in the State Senate uI.il he ,iles tn
oath Of office of U. 5. Senator. As the latter
body will probably not meet a gain until next
winter, ". see no use in his resignation uu-
| til the close Of the session Of the State SEN
| ate.
In view Of the vacancy, we observe that S.
r. Peae, Esq, of Clinton county is brought
| forward as Mr.. Wallaces successor. .dr
Peale is lawyer in largo practice, gentle
man of unblemished private character, and
Democrat without stain He is intellsct-
ually above the average Of Senator'S and
would fill a seat with honor to himself and
constituents.
Mr.. p. Gray Meek, the able editor Of the
Bellefonte Wt'chnaa, will also be a candi-
date. Mr. Meek would peculiarly and exact
| ~ represent the tone ana principles OF Ceu-
tire county politics, and perhaps of Clearfeld,
and would be the most thoroughly reoresea'a,
the OF his immediate constituency OF any
man on the floor Of the Senate He has abil-
ity, courage, pluck and fire enough to sup.
ply an ordinary regiment or small volcano
Though Mr., Wallacc's inferior in some at
tributes, he would admirably represent the
present prevailing sentiment in that district
If faithiulness toparty and industrious party
work, with a lively knowledge of the i'm
pulses and desires of the leading men of his
district, and high appreciation of Legisla-
tive distinction, entitle any mau to the nom
ination in this case, Mr, Meek will probably
be the successor of Mr.. Wallace.
Clearheld having surfeit OF honors, will
probably not present candidate.

In Northumberland county they are APP
plying for an additional Law Judge. OF
course there mry be cases where the increase
oi business makes this action proper, but in
nearly all with which we have been familiar
the reason for the application is simply the
incompetency of the President Judge or the
mere greed of aspirants-lawyers who are
said to make $1,000 or $4,000 per year at
the bar anxious TO go upon the bench at
half that figure. northumberland but few
years ago was one Of four counties forming a
district, then one of three afterward one Of

of business makes all this necessary they will
want twenty Judges there within the next
