THE New York World presents some
very interesting statistics in connection
with the late Presidential election. The
six great central States Of the North, lying
between the Hudson and the Mississippi.
the great lakes and the Ohio, are in a GER
tain and very important sense the govern
ing States Of this country. New York,
New jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana contain nearly one half of the
voters and more than one third of the pop
ulation of the Union. In the civil war
these great States furnished a vast pre-
pondcrancc Of the men and the means by
which the victories Of the Union were won.
Taking these States collectively, which in
estimating the popular sentiment of the
North as to Presidential question is the
only fair AMI conclusive way of getting at
the truth, how did they vote in 1872 and in
1875?
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1876-12-15

\ RECENT item of news from South
Carolina would seem to indicate deter
mnation on part Of Chamberlain, Patter-
son & Co. to provoke a collision in order to
influence public opinion in the discussion
OF the Presidential question. Al least that
is the impression left upon our miud bg
tie intelligence this week received that on
the night of the 4th inst. two white men
were attacked by pegroes while riding
along street :n he Village of Lowudes-
vile, and hne of tnem was riddled with
bullets and ins Innily Killed, while the other
wD' severely wouuded, but fortunately es-
capped With his life. Sixteen negroes who
Worc arrested for the crime on Saturday
last, have confessed that they with nine
others had entered into a plot TO inaugu-
rate an iniiscrfminate assassination Of the
whites Of the vicinity. including all ages
and both sexes. Great excitement pre-
vailed among the people of that locality,
auG it was rumored that the negroes had
been taken from the sherilf's guard and
lynehed by large party from Georgia, but
later dispatches contradict this report.
Commenting Oh this tern ible state of af
fairs the Harrisburg Patriot very justly
concludes that if the people Of South Car
oliua were in possession of their lawful
authorities the Ssordered condition of the
State would soon cease. The scenes of
violence which occur are the legitimate
offspring OF the interference of Grant and
his advisers to force upon the people of
South Carolina a rule which they have re-
pudiated at the ballot-box. Bayonet gov
ernment in Columbia encourages the evil
disposed portion of the negro population to
violence and outrage, and those in turn
lead to retaliation and lynch law, while
the civil authorities are held in utter con-
tempt. With Gov. Hampton in the office
10 which he has been elected peace would
be restored, and it's violaters would be
brought to punishment. The Hamburg
massacre was the result of an intrigue of
Patterson and his associates 10 provoke an
outbreak SO as to produce an effect on the
northern mind during the celebration Of
the Centennial Fourth of July anniversary
Chamberlain, though in full possession of
the government of the State, has been I'M
able or unwilling to bring the Hamburg
assassins TO punishment. The trials would,
no doubt, reveal the extent Of the radical
conspiracy of assassination. There will be
no trial of the Hamburg assassius until
Gen. Hampton enters upon the Office of
Governor, from which he is excluded By
Grants bayonets.

In the election of 1876, as we see Tildcn
received an absolute though a small ma.
jority over Hayes in these six controlling
States, on total vote nearly one million
larger than in 1872. Compare now the
results of 1875 with those of 1872: the
strength of Til6en, that is in the colossal
vote of this year, with the strength Of Grant
in the vote of 1872, and the results are still
more striking and significant. in 1872
Grant received in the six controlling States
of the Union total vote of 1881, 3O3 Ir
1876 Titden received in these States total
vote of !,199, ,4l9, being an excess over
Grants vote in 1872 of 29S, 106 votes. and
an excess OF increase over the Democratic
vote Of 1872, as compared with the increase
OF the Republican vote in 1876 over the
Republican vote in 1872, of 3Io.iS6 votes ,

The BROOKLYN HoRRoR-The dineu-
sIoHS of the awful calamity which has be-
fallen the city of Brooklyn in the Gestruc-
tion Of its principal theatre by fire, and the
consequent loss of life. have not vet been
realized. Enough is known, however. to
make it certain that the catastrophe lanls
among the most fatal of the kind ever re.
corded. According to the statements of
all the parties who profess to know auy>
thing as 70 the origin of the fire, it began
en- the stage. The Business Manager.
Mr.. Rogers, says that the piece of canvas.
out OF which the trees, etc. are made. was
broken from its fasteningS, and hung from
the flies. Immed lately over one of the bor-
der lights, near ohe centre of the stage
The canvas had begun to shoulder. and
tue paint on it to crack le, aud the carpen-
ter vas directed TO ascend to one of the
grooves and remove the dangerous object
lie could barely reacl, it with his hand and
he drew 1T hastily up. The rapid motion
through the air Of the half-ignfted and
highly intiammable canvas caused it to
burst INTO flame. which rapidly spread to
the adjoining material, equally susceptible.
All efforts To eXtiuguish the flames were
aboftive, and the carpenter had to retire
to save his own life.
The scene III the gallery after the alarm
was raised is described as something horri-
Die, even to contemplate. The total num-
Der OF bodies recovered from the ruins was
POS, of whom 80 were ide1tified-some Inv
remnants OF clothing remaining others by
watches, chains aud such articles and
only a few by their features The actors.
Claude Burroughs and Harry s. Murdock,
are among the identified. What are ac
cepted as the bodies of the two actors are
simply two black cinders Around the
trunk OF one was sooted and scorchcd
buckskIn undershirt, and beside the other
was piece OF braid, apparently a portion
OF stage dress. The search for the dead
was suspended on Saturday on account of
the danger to the calcined walls from the
high wind.
