We have received from Francis A. Walker, Superintendent of Census, advance sheets of the first 299 pages of the Population volume of the Ninth Census, comprising the first four tables of that volume. For this attention we tender the Superintendent our thanks.

B'CASDLVSS filVrS IT CP! Our neighbor of the Patriot M'Candless was in this city yesterday." So he was but why not tell what he so despondingly paid of the campaign when he remarked, "the CALIFORNIA ELECTION WAS A STUNNER." He has virtually surrendered the contest. OH NO NOT FOR JOE Our National Progress, edited by that talented and able writer and orator, William Howard Day, a young colored gentleman, does not feel disposed to support even for the lowest office on the temperance ticket the Rev. C. J. Carter.

awj 10 a i 11 a fiance man he will not give his influence and vote for the "Mule Ticket." Below are his sentiments copied from the Progress of this week, viz Democrat or Republican Which The "Prohibiiioniste," so called of Dauphin county, met at Harrishi.rg, on Tuesday last, and Dominated County Officers. Among ihem is Rev. J. Carter, (Pastor of the Colored Baptist Church, Harrisburg,) for County Auditor. That Rev.

Carter ac cepted, we judge from the fact that his i arae was signed to the "Call," and that the "Prohibitionists" would not be likely to nominate any man about whose acceptance bere could be any reasonable doubt. Rev. Mr. Caner accepting, we ask and answer certain questions 1. Does Rev.

Carter expect to be elected No. 2. Does not Rev. Carter know that if he polls a large vote the bulk of that vote will come from the Republican party Yes. 3.

Is not this movement, therefore, a good dodge to assist the Democrats Yes. 4 Can Rev. Carter, a member of the U. L. of A.

consistently assist the Democratic Party? No. 6 Is a man who thus assists the Demo cratic Party, a Republican or a Democrat Which? Why to all intents and purposes, a Democrat. 6. Does not such a man by thus indirectly or directly assisting the Democratic Party commit political suicide Most assuredly he does. 7.

Was not Rev. Carter accused of voting a Democratic ticket last year He was. 8 Is not his action this year confirmatory of each a charge Most certainly. 9. Will the Colored Voters be led astray by this attempt of one of their own men No Probably not one in fifty will vote the Prohibition Ticket for while it may be a "Prohibition" of Dram Shops, by assisting the Democratic Party, it is a "Prohibition" of of Colored Men's Rights and Privileges.

POST THE BOOKS REPUBLICANS OF PENNSYLVANIA LOOK AT THIS DEMOCRATIC STATES THAT HAVE VOTED AND GIVEN REr PUBLICAN MAJORITIES! COLORADO 1 CALIFORNIA II CONNECTICUT NORTH CAROLINA I NEW ELECTION IN REPUBLICAN STATES. MAINE, glorious Maine, is the only Republican Stateiin which an election has been held this fall, and the Republican ticket has been elected by a majority of ELEVEN THOUSAND, a gain of three thousand since the election last year. ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CITY REDEEMED WILMINGTON, in the dark State of Delaware, where a white man who takes a glass too much, is publicly whipped at the whipping post, has shaken off her Democratic shackles and redeemed herself by the election of the entire REPUBLICAN TICKET. ONLY ONE STATE DEMOCRATIC Kentucky! Oh! rebel Kentuek! where Union soldiers were assassinated, is the only Democratic State that has elected a rebel Governor, and his major ity has been reduced from 69,000 to about 38,000. This is the only Democratic victory in 1871.

LOOK AT THE RESULT. Republican States for President in 1872, which were formerly Democratic Colorado Wyoming California Connecticut 1 1 1 1 North Carolina New Mexico And last, but not least, DEMOCRATIC STATES IN 1872 KENTUCKY, of Bebel Notoriety. No Republican State has faltered, but all are true and loyal to the cause. Republicans of Pennsylvania, remem ber this BE IP AHD DOING. The importance of the October elec tion is our apology for continuing to urge increased activity and vigilance upon the Republicans of Pennsylvania.

In two respects the approaching elec tion is of unusual consequence. First In reference to the Legislature. Upon that body will devolve the duty of redisricting the State into Congression al districts. Whichever party wins in the contest for the Legislature will have a power in their hands by which they can secure the majority of Congression al representation for ten years, a matter of vital importance to the Republican party, and one which should be kept ever present in the minds of those who are directing the canvass as well as in the mind of each individual voter who has at heart the success and mainte nance of Republican principles and measures. Besides this it must be con sidered that the party successful in electing a majority of the Legislators will huve the control of legislation for at least one year, aud consequently the interests of the Commonwealth in their hands for that time.

This, alone, should induce every Republican to put on at once his harness of battle for the cam paign, and work earnestly and unceas ingly. Second. The influence it will have upon the campaign of 1872, when a President for four years from the fourth of March, 1873, will be chosen. It is possible; that, fcVHii should the Demo crats succeed tliirf year in electing a ma jority to the Legislature, the Republi cans might rally so great is their vitall ty and carry the Electoral ticket for Grant, or any other Presidential can didate nominated by the Republican National Convention, next year. But it is unsafe, and bad policy, to let such a possibility enter into the calculation Should there be a Democratic Legis lature chosen, the first of its acts would probably be the repeal of the Registry law, and then we should have to con tend against all the frauds and corrup tions by which the Democracy, before they were held in check by registration, carried elections.

It is better, therefore, to light the brunt of the battle of next year now, when we have the Registry law in our favor, and make all safe by securing a Republican Legislature. The fact, too, that we have also to elect a Governor next year, attaches additional importance to success this year. For the reasons assigned we once more appeal to our Republican brethren in all parts of the State to be up and doing. There is not a moment to be lost. It is true the signs are auspicious the pros pect of complete success encouraging, But nothing can be achieved without diligence and unremitting labor.

The sign and the prospects might be changed in a single week by neglect of duty, or by a dilatory discharge of it. Do not for a moment rest in the belief that the Democrats are idle. Such belief might prove iatai. uur political opponents, though quiet, are secretly and energetic ally at work, and will not leave a stone unturned, or scruple at the use of any means to carry the election. Rest as sured of this you must not sleep at your posts ir you wouia mase success certain.

You must be wide awake, and work. work, work from this to the close of the election. THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. President Grant, in a letter to Colonel John W. Forney, dated Lebanon, De comber 12, regrets his inability "to be present at the unveiling of the monument to Abraham Lincoln, in Fair mount Park, on the 22d instant," on account of engagements previously entered into, and "which cannot well be changed." At the time he wrote he was on his way "to visit relationsand friends among whom he was raised and whom he left thirty two years ago, and who had been advised of the time of his coming." The letter concludes as follows There are no patriots, dead or alive who will be remembered more gratefully for their loyalty and services to their country than the man whose memory will be commemorated at Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, on the 22d of this September, nor one whom I more honor as a good as well as a great man.

I know the occasion will be an interesting one, and one long to be remembered by those who witness it, and by posterity through the accounts of it which will be published. With expressions of regret that I am to be debarred the duty of being with you on the 22d instant, and of the kindest regards for the committee who have invited me, and for yourself, I subscribe myself, with great respect, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. Col.

J. W. Forney, Philadelphia, Pa. TROUBLES OF THE NEW YORK DE MOCRACY. "Misfortunes never come is an old proverb, applicable to our Democratic friends in New York.

The Irish Catholics, who have heretofore sustained, the Democratic party to a man, are now denouncing the conduct of the leaders of that party in the severest terms. We have before us a Catholic news, paper, entitled The Irish People, of September 2, 1871, printed In the city of New York, which contains the following choice articles, viz THE JIU.RDEBEK STILL AT LAKGE. Six weeks have now elapsed since the murder of our citizens, men, women and children Irish, American, and German, and the murderer, Hoffman, is still at large. He, the coward, who slunk away when he had applied the torch to the fuel, is still permitted to pass unscathed by the officers of the law and no action taken by those judicial authorities to discover, by investigation or otherwise, whether there were one responsible or fifty irresponsible murderers on that black day, the 12th of July. But justice, we are told, is blind, and the American goddess amply proves the truth.

The greatest crime next to murder is to condone it, and here we have its condonation with a vengeance. Sixty corpses lying in their graves, and the friends and relatives of the victims waiting, wearily waiting, for the instice that never comes I This, too, in a land of liberty An yes. is is, inaeea, a ianu oi nu erty, when the mounted beggars of our State can with impunity ride roughshod over the lives of citizens thosevery people who helped the murderer to the position which he imagines will screen him from the effects of his crime. Do our Democratic legal authorities in this city, and whose duty it is to take action in the case, imagine for one moment that they can escape the penalty of their inaction If so, they may find to their cost that some people have memories. That parody of the three hours1 in quest and three minutes1 verdict will yet receive its proper answer, and at the proper time, if justice is thus to be trampled on.

From another article published in the same paper we clip the following Surely our Sweenys, Connollys, O' Gormans, Garveys, Sullivans, O'Briens, could have forced Coroner Young to do his plain duty at the inquest, or, if he refused, they could have procured a thorough investigation of the case in spite of him. Yet they did not. The truth is, these men do not represent the sentiments and interests of our Irish citizens, though they owe their positions to Irish votes neither do they rule New. York for the Irish. They represent nothing but the so called American Democracy and themselves, and in the interest of that political faction, and that alone, they and their associated partisans of other nationalities rule this metropolis.

Were it otherwise, the Irishmen of New York would have got justice, and they wanted nothing but justice, in that most trying crisis that ever came upon their race in the United States. But the whole conduct of prominent Irish politicians of New York, on the occasion in question, is easily explained. The Democratic Party could not AFFORD A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF THE LATE ORANGE TROUBLES. The city authorities committed a blunder in not having forbidden the demonstration a week or ten days sooner than they did. Governor Hoffman committed a still greater blunder in countermanding the prohibitory proclamation of the city authorities at such a late hour as he did.

Had he declared his intention of protecting the Orangemen with the State forces even a week before the day of their parade, no Irishmen, however ignorant and prejudiced, would have thought of molesting them. As matters stand, the whole thing looks very like a trap set by the State Governor and our city magnates for incautious and hotheaded Irishmen to fall into. However that may be, Hoffman has made a splurge that threatens to smash the Democratic crockery ware all around. Were its antecedents and results fully investigated it might tend to the defeat of the Democratic party for many years to come It has, therefore, become a political necessity for the Democratic wirepullers of New York and the Irish political intriguers who back them, to hush the matter up as quickly as possible, and to have no more said about it. Their action on the occasion won't bear examination.

No such insult and injustice could be offered to the majority of the citizens of this great cosmopolitan metropolis of the United States if it were really true that it is ruled by or for the Irish. I assure our Radical assailants that pure Irishry has very little to do with the government or misgovernment of New York. Yankee intrigue and Yankee greed run the political machine here as well as everywhere else throughout the American Union. Whether the ruling party in any locality be Republican or Democratic the Irish citizens are, and have been hitherto, treated as mere pawns on the political chessboard all through these States. 'Tis their own fault, however, to have remained so long in so humiliating a position.

I hope better things from them in the future. But they do not yet rule New York. John O'Mahony. MODERN REFORMERS. This i3 a wonderfully progressive age.

In Europe and America, alike, the standard of reform moral and political is flung to the breeze, and corporal and spiritual aid invoked to rush it on to victory. A set of men, gifted with ob tuseness of intellect and strength of lungs, have arisen everywhere to as tonish the world with idle schemes for remodeling governments and perfecting human nature. The trouble with these modern crusaders against everything they deem wrong in State and society, is that they do not themselves comprehend exactly at what they aim, and are by no means agreed as to the means to be employed to effect their purposes, whatever they may be. Here we have a batch of professedly temperance men who consider themselves ordained of Heaven to conduct that cause, but are so shallow pated as to expect to sup press the liquor traffic and put a stop to intemperance by placing a separate, in dependent temperance ticket in the field, without the slightest chance of electing it. This is the extreme of folly, the result of which must be the putting ott the accomplishment of the end in view to an indefinite time.

The true friends of temperance will rally to the support of the Republican ticket be lieving that (in the language of the North American) the only genuine pro gressive political body in America is the Republican party and those who look back upon the glorious record of its achievements without pride, and yet call themselves reformers, must be pure visionaries. Pennsylvania has hitherto stood like a towering rock against which the stormy waves of wild and turbulent agitation have dashed in vain ''As some tall ollff that rears Its mighty form, Lirts from the deep and midway parts the storm; Though at Its base the raging surf Is spread, Eternal sunshine settles on Its head. So Radicalism will find us in the new contest that is threatened. Our faith and hopes are with the Republican party. To its standard we clung through me uarKesc nours ot a long and bloody war.

To it we owe the grandest achieve ments of this era, and we shall still ad here to it and carry it forward in tri umph. The Democratic county of York is complaining that they have a Tammany Ring there too. An "extra" is printed and issued which reads as follows: The county treasury robbed A huge Ring of corrupt officials The. 'Swag' is divided. Increase in the county debt during the year, $104,000.

Debt in 1860, $12,000. In 1871, $500,000." Here isnother sample of Democratic rule. POPULARITY OF GENERAL GRANT. The New York Globe, which is not a partisan journal, remarks with great truth that "it is in vain for any one to longer attempt to make the people believe that any general dissatisfaction exists with President Grant's administration. Everywhere the people have had a chance, recently, to express an opinion, they have endorsed the Government and its Chief Executive.

In Wisconsin the nomination of Mr. Wash burne is considered a triumph for Grant; in Kentucky the remarkable growth of the Republican party is regarded as triumph for Grant; in California the Republican victory is a great one for Grant in Maine, yesterday, the Administration was endorsed by an increased majority in New Jersey the nomination of Chistian gentleman like Mr. Walsh is sure nrosrnostication of Republican sue cess in Connecticut the triumph of the Republicans did not look like a wide snread dissatisfaction with the Presi dent in Massachusetts all the Republi can candidates for Governor heartily en dorse Grant. The trutn is, resident Grant is as popular to day as he ever was. A DEMOCRATIC COMMISSIONER CON YICTED.

The Democratic county commissioner, John Harris, of the county of Cumber land, was convicted at the last court of receiving a bribe of $50 from a bridge builder in that county, and received his sentence yesterday. The court dismissed him from office and ordered him to pay a fine and cost, amounting to some two hundred dollars. Whenever the Democrats have con trol of the finances such corruption in office isnothingnew. Look at thecounty debts of York and Cumberland. The Icelanders are becoming sick of their frozen land and are beginning to migrate to the United States.

A colony consisting of about twenty families has arrived in the vicinity of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and effected a settlement This is said to be the initial of a heavy immigration expecting to settle chiefly on the territory bordering on the line of the Pacific railway and the Red River country. Should the immigration be on the scale anticipated, Iceland will be depopulated and left to its volcanos. geysers and glaciers. The Icelanders are a simple people, moral, industrious ana will maxe good citizens. To day's Weather Beport.

126 Beekman street, the establishment of Kleuber Goldschmidt, agents of the Union torpedo company, which killed three men and wounded several others. The whole front of the store was blown into the street, which is blocked up with the debris. The fire engines and a large force of police promptly subdued the fire. It appears that one boy was killed and six men seriously wounded by the explosion. It is thought three of the latter will die.

Messrs Kleuber Goldschmidt were getting in a lot of Union tornedoes. which were being carried in by some of the employees. As one of the men was carrying a uox irom a wagon toward the store, the box fell out of his hands, and falling on the sidewalk, immediately caused the explo sion, blowing tne winaows ana doors out of the building and throwing men in the vicinity some distance on every side. The driver of the truck was thrown upon a shed. The police immediately commenced to search among the rubbish for the bodies.

A little boy. azed 13, named Henry Brown, residing at Is'o. Hamilton street, must nave Deen instantly killed, his legs and body being very much shattered. Three of the employees were shattered so much that it is almost an impossibility to recognize them. The wounded were conveyed to the hospital as fast as possible.

86040. A Swamp Fire in Canada. Though a swamn fire is not so bad mt a prairie fire.it is yet formidable enough. as some Canadian gentlemen who were laying out the line of a railroad recently found. In the prosecution of their labors, they had oenetrated the Lone swamp about half a mile, when suddenly the attention of Mr.

Tate, one of the party, was attracted by a loud roaring, as of the approach of a hurricane On looking in the direction whence the sound proceeded, to his horror he ob served fire rushing toward them at a rapid rate, licKing up everything in its way and felling large trees in evesy direction. Mr. Tate ordered a stampede at once, and then began a race. At the start, the fire was fully 300 yards off away rushed the whols Earty, white men and Indians, scram ling over logs, through brush heaps, tumbling headlong into holes, barking shins, spraining ankles, scratchine hands and tearing clothes, but not a word was spoken no stopping to look back, or asking for companions in the rear, but each one struggling to reach the Owintr to the denseness of the swamp, though every muscle was strained, progress was line a waux com pared to the rapid march of the fire. Fortunately, they reached they clearing in safetv, but not a moment too soon.

for the fire was but ten feet behind them when they emerged from the woods; had they delayed a minute longer before starting the probability is that they would have lost their lives. Lindsay Uanaaa) Post. HODGE'S DEFALCATION. A Free and Fall Confession of his emit. Washington, Sept.

14. The follow ine is the letter of Major Hodge, Deputy Paymaster in the United States army to Paymaster Brice, making full confession of nis crime, and stating wnat led to it Washinqton, Sept. 10. General B. W.

Brice. Sir I have to inform you that I am unable to close my accounts, and that I owe the frightful amount of about $450,000, which sum I have lost during the last few years in stock speculations, going deeper and deeper in the hope of retrieving myself. I have no excuse or mitigation of my course to offer and propose to take the full consequences of my sins. I had thought a week ago of escaping from New York, but believe I have done bet ter in returning here to deliver myself up, as 1 text 1 was bound to do. I can of course make no pittance of excuse for the systematic deceit I have practiced on you, and tne advantage 1 nave of the special position I held, and that you especially have cause to be justly inexorable against me.

I have been led on by the infatuation that always attends the course I entered on, hoping always to recover my loss and conceal my crime. I believe that it is really a relief to be discovered, for I have been in a hell on earth for years, and the alternations of hope and fear I have gone through, and constraint and care to avoid detection were becoming too strong. I desire to turn over any property I nave as a small set 011 against my den ciency, and after giving any information that will assist in settling my accounts or if possible in recovering a portion of wnat 1 nave lost, 1 expect to take the tun punisnment awarded ior my onense, In justice to two parties in this city, through whom I have made some speculations, I wish to say that they 11 2 i. are peneuuy innocent 01 any Knowledge that I was using public funds, There are small balances with each of these parties to my credit, whenever the accounts are closed. The losses I made wer ealmost entirely in New York with one house there, whose accounts I hold subject to your order.

I endeavored to induce them to make good the amount lost with them, which they knew was pudiic money, but tney nave refused. I have been trying to make up my mind to this confession for some days, and was on the point of doing so this morning in your office, but I could not bring myself to say it, and I wanted time to write to my innocent wife, whom this frightful information will kill. God forgive me for what I have done to ner and my children. All I ask from you or the authorities, is that, if possible, some small sum may be left her. I enclose the keys of my safe and box containing all by old accounts, etc.

My present vouchers, receipts, are in the hands of my cierns, wno are, ail or tnem, periectly innocent of any knowledge of my de ciency. 1 snail remain at tne nouse o. 1,523 street, till informed what action you have taken concerning me, mere is no lear 1 win go away. (Signed) J. Ledyard Hodge.

A correspondent of the Miners Journal published at Pottsville, writes or wiiuamstown, tms county, as fol lows: This is a thriving little village of about z.ouu ot a population, with every prospect of becoming one of the largest towns in tne only drawback II 1 1 i 11 A. 11 now visiuie oeing raac tne railroad con nections are very poor, having no com munication witn tne market nearer than Tower City or Lykens. each five miles distant. This town is located on the side of a mountain, and the plan on which it is built is a very neat one, which in every way corresponds with the tastes of its inhabitants. Their dwelling houses are built after the very latest and most improved style and with the addition of pavements would make as nne an appearance as any town In tne Btate.

They have several churches, school houses, some very fine hotels two in particular the Mansion House, kept by Mr. Coath, and the Williamstown Hotel, by Mr. Noviock. The latter is built in the style of a French cottage, and commands the entrance to the town from the Tower City side. On this road is located the residence of your towns man, Major Anthony, who holds a very responsible position under the Williams town Coal Company.

This coal company, I dare say, have the largest coal breaker in tne Btate. ney employ, 1 should judge, about five or six hundred nan as, ana use a small locomotive ior hauling the coal out of the tunnel. They ship from two hundred to two hundred and fifty cars per day. Your old Miners ville correspondent is employed at this colliery, wnere ne noids a good po sition. They are driving a tunnel through the mountain with the inten tion of digging coal on the other side.

and hauling it through this tunnel, break it in the large breaker now standing there. If they succeed (which they 2 5 I .1. a 1 1 win; 111 unving mis tunnel tnrougn, tnere is no telling or wnat Williams town will become after a few years. In fact the day that the announcement will be made that the Williamstown tunnel is completed, will be a natal day for the Williamstowners. On that day their properties win advance per cent, in value, and 1 doubt very mucn if it can be had at such advancement, there will be such a rush made by the citizens of oilier districts.

There is a good opening for a butcher in Williamstown. I should think, for the simple reason that I drank more water during my short stay there than I did in a week at any other period of tne year. 1 need not mention wnat made me so extremely thirsty, as it might cast some discredit on the hotel keepers, but it is not their fault I suppose. This is intended for some far seeing and sharp butcher. Let him make the best of it.

The Panama Star tells the following story of a smart dog: "When the dog wisnes to cross a river wnere alligators abound he goes up the stream a great way and barks witn all nis mignt the alligators go there and wait for him to swim across. The dog knows what he is about when he sees from the number of snouts above water that his enemies have all gathered to the feast, he runs down the bank as fast as he can, and swims across before the alligators are aware of the trick that has been played upon them." A white man running for office in South Carolina sought to propitiate a colored constituent with whisky. "Well, yes, sah," said the constituent, "I don't care if I duz. 'Sides, in dese times a white candidate is just as good as a colored voter, specially when de col ored voter is dry." Fon. commenting on the proverb.
