On Friday and Saturday five hundred
and three persons of foreign birth were
naturalized before the Carbon county
court, and out Of this number only twenty
three were for Garfield. A majority of
them came down from the HazletOn re-
gion, over seven hundred, including many
who came for their declarations Of inten-
tion to become citizens. Those from Car
bon county proper were mostly from
Banks, Summit Hill, Buck Mountain,
Lansford and Nesquehoning, with fair
scattering from the other districts. Indi-
cations are that much larger vote than
ever before will be polled and a restoration
of the old Democratic majority prior to
the or .anization of the Republican party,

THE Republican clubs in this state
seem to be acting under instructions
from headquarters. The Invincibles, of
Philadelphia, went to Conshohocken
on Saturday night, visited Il Dem
Ocratic hotel, and all ut once,
rs though it seemed prearranged
scheme, several of them reached up and
tore down the picture of General Ham
cock that was pasted up Oh the wall.
Several notices of forthcoming Demo-
cratic meetings were also hung up about
the room, and they, too, were torn down
anu thrown upon the floor The Re-
publicanS of Lancaster visited ROhrers-
town and did exactly the same thing.
RohrerstOwn, on small scale, like Con-
shOhocken, is manufacturing town,
and the above prearranged behavior is
doubtless intended to show what destruc-
tion threatens the industrial interests of
the country in the event of Democratic
success.

Almost q Disaster.

The Pan-P -Presbyteriance alliance which
had been getting along SO amiably for
ten days, in Philadelphia, came we'll
nigh splitting on rock in the twilight
of its sessions. The good brethren who
had assembled to forget their denomina-
tional differences in common zeal for the
holy cause Of Christianity had re-
freshing season Of counsel, of harmony,
and Of brotherhood. They were SO in
spired with it that upon nearing the close
Rev. DIR. Philip Schaff, a leading spirit in
the alliance, enthusiastically moved the
singing of that grand old sacred song
81 Praise God from whom all blessings
fiow,' and with common accord the
throng joined in it. That is all the throng
joined in it except the delegates and
members of the United Presbyterian
churchill. p. for short. The L. P.'s
do not object to praising God, nor does
their orthodoxy allow them to doubt
that from Him all blessings flow. But
the popular version of that acknowledge
ment in rhyme is not amongthe inspired
songs which they sing. Accordingly they
were mute, but the echoes of the null
titude's praise hadnOt died away when
one of the offended L. P.'s found tongue
to resent the wrong done his denomina-
tion in proposing and singing their dOx-
ology. Up to this point all the common
exercises of the alliance had been 50
carefully arranged as to give offense to
none, but at the last minute ii looked as
if there was to be a breach over the III.
happy interruption of the peaceful pro-
gramme of happy harmony. Luckily
DR.. Schaff was able to explain that some
L. p. brother had assented to his PROPOSE
tion before it was made, and luckily
some other brother enabled the alliance
to escape the brewing storm by success
fully moving to pass Oh to some other
subject. Otherwise the spectacle might
have been presented of that alliance
going to pieces in bitter confusion over
the matter of singing" Praise God from
whom all blessings llOw.'' OF such
weakness arc mortal men.

THE CAMPAIGN.
Drift of the Political Current.

Drift of the Political Current.
Gen. Jack Easement, of Painesville, o.,
who has been classed as 4 supporter of
Garfield, is for Hancock. The general,
although Republican, has not changed
his opinion that Garficld's career in Con-
gress was marked by much crOokedness.
AdOlphus BOrst, Swho was pnanlipently
identified with the Organiza&i bne of
the first Republican clubs XYOrk,
and who has voted the Republican ticket
ever since, has withdrawn from the Re-
publican executive committee and an
nOunced his intention to vote for Hancock.
One of the objections he urges against
Garfield is that he is a ahypocrite.
A Republican politician met ex-Judge
S. d. Morris in Brooklyn, and said that he
had friend who was willing to bet 81 900
that Garfield would be the next president.
81 have 81, ,OOO," said Mr.. Morris, "to bet
that Hancock will be the next president,
and if you will bring me taker will give
you 500 for your trouble" Mr.. Morris
has not yet heard from the Republican.
Scion B. Smith, secretary of the Repub-
lican central committee of New York, of.
fered to bet 81, 500 to 81, 900 that Garfield
would carry New York state in November.
MIR. Charles w. McCune, the Bufalomem-
ber Of the Democratic state committee, at
once accepted the wager and proposed that
the money should be then put up in the
shape of checks. Mr.. Smith thought that
the checks should be certified, and prom
ised to meet Mr.. McCune in the Hoffman
house on Friday evening. Mr.. McCune
was on hand with his money at the ap-
pointed hour, but Mr.. Smith did not keep
his engagement.
Couldn't Raise the Money.
A well-known and wealthy man an
nounced at club in Philadelphia that he
had offered to bet $40, 600 even that Han
cock would be elected. This man is not
much of Democrat or Republican he
bets to win. He could not find Republi-
can who would bet with him except at
enormous odds. Next morning he met
George G. Pierie, who is secretary of the
Commercial Exchange of Philadelphia,
and also financial editor of the Philadel-
phia North american. "Pierie," said he,
''T'll put up SIC, ,0sO as pool, and I'll give
you $50 if you'll find takers, that Han
cock will be elected"
'sDone," said Pierre; "I'n place that
money for you on Change within an
hour.
Pierie is an active, ardent Republican.
lie has a large acquaintance with the
brokers OH Change. He Immediately
went to them and said that here was bona
fide chance to form pool to win 10000.
lie labored zealously for two hours, and in
all that time he could not find Republ-
can broker who had faith enough in Gar
fields election to be one of party to make
up the pool. The feeling among them
seemed to be that Garfield's chance Of cleo
tion was altogether too small to warrant
risking any money in it, Mr.. Pierie re-
turned to the gentleman and sorrowfully
confessed, 'the Republicans were not bet
ting with their party this year.

Mine Fatalities.

John Donohue, a miner at Leith station
coal shaft, started to 90 to the five foot
vein, depth of $50 feet, by letting him
self down the rope hand over hand, to see
what was the matter with the bucket, the
men at the top being unable to raise it.
When but fifty feet from the top of the
shaft he lost his hold and fell to the bot
tom. He was crushed into a shapeless
mass J. Morgan Messmore, watchman
at the same shaft, volunteered to 90 down
and make some repairs at depth of 100
feet. He had completed the work and
was stepping from the platform to the
bucket, when his heel caught board He
stumbled and fell to the bottom of the
shaft, $50 feet. He was taken out de ad
and terribly mangled.

Telegraph war.

Hackcnsack, n. J., has had little tele-
graph war. A large gang of men in the
employ of the American Union company
were erecting poles through the village
streets. and Street Superintendent Earle
ordered them to stoD. The first pole
planted was promptly fellcd by the super
intendent; but while he was absent con-
sulting counsel the work of pole planting
progressed with such rapidity that Union
street was soon lined with them. Several
citizens cut down the poles on their premi-
ses, and the matter will come up before
the improvement commission.

Closely treadinG on the heels of the
report that Garfield is to withdraw and
Grant is to take his place comes revival
of the rumor that after the Indiana
election has rresaged Republican defeat
the Republican governors of doubtful
Northern states are to assemble their
legislatures and choose Republican
electors. 1t is claimed that they have
the power to do this under the constitu-
tion, and rs Garfield said in 1876, they
argue having the cards in
our hands wouldn't we be fools
not to play them" Every Northern
state, except New Jersey and Indiana,
happens at present to have Republican
governor, and it is claimed that with
this advantage they can make sure, by
appealing to the legislatures, of the cleo
toral choice of Grant, and that he is {: a
strong man. who being thus constitu-
tionally chosen would seat himself.
We have no doubt that the men who
engineered and carried through the bold
theft of the presidency in 1s7G-77 are
quite capable of undertaking the scheme
now proposed. But we very much doubt
if they would run the tremendous risks
involved for the slender chances of its
success. 1t is to he remembered that the
electoral vote is to he finally counted i'm
the presence of both branches of Con-
gress. They are both Democratic. They
will not consent to the subversion of the
will and intention of the people if it can
be prevented by constitutional means.
Such means can be found. They will be
found.

pie, who elect the judges, every instance
