IT would be a useless waste Of time to ell
ter into a detailed statement Of the reasons
why a portion OF the Democratic ticket in
this cOunty-Laugbein FOR Prothonotary and
Sweeney for Register and RecorIer-was de
feated at the election on Tuesday last, or OF
the reason why the nlajorities for some of the
other candidates are not as large as they
should have been or as they were expected
to be We write this on Thursday morning
and therefore before The official vote has been
counted. The majority against Mr.. Lang
bein will not, we think be much above OF be
low ono hundred, and the detection against
him IS principally confined to two northern
districts CleaTfeId and Allegheny, the wide
spread revolt against HIM in the first named
district being Of Itself more than sufficient to
make up the majority i'm the county for his
opponent. Mr.. Gates. Mr.. Sweeney did not
encounter this opposition I'm Tie two districts
we have named, nor indeed did he fail to re-
ceive the aggregate Democratic vote in the
entire county save and except i'm the districts
which once constituted. and are still called
when speaking Of elections, the District
Court" in those districts Browns majority
over Sweeney is ,f22, which is sufficient 70
defeat him by something like 200. Iangbein
was therefore defeated by enough Democrats
in the northern section Of the county. where
he resides, refusing 10 vote for him, while
Sweeney was defeated by enough Democrats
in the southern part Of the county, where lie
resides, declining to vote for him.
We do not, as we said al the outset, pro-
pose 10 discuss the reasons which brought
about these two results. If Democrats any
whsre refuse to sustain the action Of coun-
ty convention II the action OF county COM
mittee, they and they alone must take the
responsibility and must accept the conse-
quercess growing out Of it. We regret very
much the defeat Of these two gentlemen
One Of them, Mr.. Langbein, received the en-
dorsement Of a full county convention after
a prolonged and stubborn contest, while the
other, Mr. sweeney, was nominated in an
emergency by the county committee. Zach
had therefore a we'll founded claim to the
united support of The party, but as the peO-
pie have decided otherwise we must submit
not, however, without protesting against its
injustice and the wrong that has been done.

The great, aud in the late campaign the
pivotal, state Of New York having failed to
cast its electoral vote foI General Hancock
the election OF James 4. Garfield was the re-
suit ~ a matter Of course The Democracy
Of the Union were led to believe by the lead.
ing and best informed men of the party in
New York city that from the largely increas.
ed registration Of voters there as we'll as in
Brooklyn, the majority for Hancock in the
two cities would be - 600, or, as they put it.
65,0O0 i'm New York and 20, ,aG0 in Brooklyn,
and that when to these majorities were add
ed the majoIities in counties always certain
to go Democratic, the Republican majorities
in the balance Of the State would fall short
of overcoming them by at least thirty H,o,,s-
and This was the estimate made by those
who assumed to know what they were talking
about, and who had every facility for obtain
ing such information, but the stern results
of Tuesday last showed that they had over
estimated the Democratic vote by 30, 600, the
majority in New York being about $4,000
and in Brooklyn about 10, 600. This result
in the two largest cities left Garfield ma
joTity in the State Of between twenty and
thirty thousand. All would nave been right
il New York had voted for Hancock, as he
has carried New jersey, California and Ne
vada. with Oregon probable, and with New
York he would have had 1gI votes in the
electoral college, which is sir more than is
required to elect. But when New York was
lost all was lost.
The country has now for its President a
man who was never elected, but who reach
ed his high position through absolute and
shameless fraud on the ballot-b boxes in two
States. His successor will be another Ohio
mau who, only seven years ago, was pro
nounced BY Republican committee in Con
gress TO be guilty Of the high crimes Of cor
ruptiOn and perjury-an accusation which to
this day remains unanswered and will always
remain as an indellible stain upon his char
acter. 1t is sickening spectacle to see such
man elected TO the Office once adorned by
the pure and vrtuou5 Washington, the in.
flexible and incOTruptible Jackson, and the
kind-hearted, honest and patriotic Lincoln.
The verdict Of the people on Tuesday will
not in the least dim the lustre Of Gen. Han
cocks fame. He emerges from the struggle
as he entered into It, without stain unon
ms record, and the republic will ever contin-
nc 70 respect and honor him. Who would
not rather be Winfield Scott Hancock with
an untaFniShed name than Jas. \. Garfield
even with Oakes Amcs dead, but with Jere-
iniah ; Black stlH iH the land as a living
witness Of his perjury before the Poland

ON some railroads, ike the Pennsylvania,
says the Philadelphia Lcdqer time IS saved
to express trains by providing long water
tanks between the tracks from which the
moving locomotive scoops up its needed
supplies of water without stopping. It has
occurred to q German inventor that some
thing similar is needed for taking mp paSseu-
gers from way stations without delaying the
train by stOppaCe. The passenger would
not like either to be scOOped up like the water
supply or hooked off of a standard like the
mail bags, 50 this ingenious inventor has pro-
vided mOter ike a dummy and having
a wire cable wound on a drum. When the
express train comes along hook on the last
car catches q ring, in which the cable ter
inmates, and the waiting car Is carried for
ward, and not a sudden Jerk, but at a rate
gradually increasing to that of the train,
the cable unwound in the drum, until close
connection Is made between the waiting car
and the train, when the passengers are trans
feTred and the waiting car cut loose, to be
carried back to its station by its own motive
power.
