Mr.. EDIToR.-Dear iSir.-Hav ing
read many editorials in the different
newspapers of the country, all comment
ing on the grand Republican defeat In
their stronghold in the State of Ohio. L
have noticed that all have some shabby
excuse for their utter route, among their
thousand ami one causes. They appear
to rely upon few more particular ones
for the purpose of intimidating the peo-
pie, viz: That it was the Greenback
party; that it was the Labor party, the
Temperance party, and also the dissatis-
fled Republicans, and all other kinds and
manner of tricks and subterfuge i; and
now sir, why is it they do not come down
to the bottom facts and let their people
know the very cause and the unfailing
truth? First, that the people of these
United States have refused to submit to
the nefarious schemes and tricks of the
late Republican administration. Second.
that the Republican party for the last 16
years have had control of the govern
ment, and have not kept their promises
made and published to the world on
their platforms. Fourth, that the people
are determined to root all and every one
who has ridden into power upon false
representations. Fifth, that the people
are satisfied that they fairly and constitu-
tionally elected, upon the 7th day of No
vember 1876, Samuel J. Tilden Presi-
dent of these United States by an over
whelmlng majority of their votes. .H.f-
Sixth, that the people were defrauded
out oftheir choice by an unconstitutional
agreement, called the Electoral Commits
sion, and only submitted to by the low
ers of their country for the sake of peace
and good will towards our own country
men. These are some of the causes for
the grand victory of the Democratic par
ty, and should the same result be gained
at the next election for President of the
United States. the Democrats will de-
nand their choice shall be seated in the
Presidential chair, and will see him seat
ed at any and all hazards. These MIR.
Editor are the real causes of their defeat;
so will the people of the old Keystone
state repudiate the Republican party on
Tuesday, Nov. 9th, by electing the whole
Democratic ticket. Pennsylvania will
igive the Republican party such a grand
defeat, death and burial, on Tuesday No
vember 9th, that there will be no resur-
rection. Yours truly J.L.F lH

PARIS, November 6.-Returns received
up to this hour show that 567 Republicans
and $50 Conservatives have been elected
to the Councils General. The Repubh-
cans have gained SO seats and 80 second
ballots are necessary. Five hundred and
sixty-eight districts still remain to be
heard from. 1t is not yet know how
the Republican gains are distributed aud
consequently how they affect the major
tiles in the various Councils General.
This is an important point. 1t is expe ct
ed that when the complete returns are in
the Republican triumph will appear con-
siderabiy modified. The Republicans,
however, claim large gain in the election
for Councils of ACCOMPLISHMENTS which
were held simultaneously with those of

from prominent citizen of New York

then glanced at the young man, who pre-

"Well, really, L should like to oblige
Mr.. -, but you do not seem delicate !;
you do not look as if you needed to go
abroad for your health. do not like to

1t is extraordinary how the royal fami-
Iy of England is pursued by the typhoid
fever. The Prince Consort died from it;
the Prince of Wales all but did so; Prince
Leopold some time since had epteric fe-
yer, supposed to arise from similar
cau9e; two months ago the Priuce of
Wales's son caught fever which was at
tri ributed to the state of the drains at NJ arl-
borough House, and now Miss lSnollys,
one of the Princess of Wales's ladies', has
typhoid fever at Abergeldie Castle, the
Prince of Wales's residence near Bal
moral. 1t might have been supposed
tn 1t if any one could secure good drain n
ag it would be the royal family, but
