Without descending to cavil with a notorious, corrupt forger, we refer all interested to the Telegraph of Monday, August 30, 1869, the day on which the return judges met, in which they will find the following article, via The Lancaster County Nominations. The Lancaster county Republicans made their nominations on Saturday, under the Crawford system. The result was an entire change of legTslative members, with one exception, viz Senator Billiogfe.lt. The contest was bitter. It was alleged that a certain ring had been formed in the interest of parties at Harrisbnrg to defeat Bil lingfelt, because he was opposed to allowing money to remain idle in the State Treasury, but considered that it ought to be used to redeem the State debt.

The result of the nomination is the perfect defeat of the ring. The Senators will be Billingfelt and John WarfeU and Representatives probably Rein oehl, Godshalk, Wiley and Hunsicker.

"wnndnrnr and. like Satan, he seems to be "going to and fro, seeking whom he may devour." He appears to have no fixed residence no permanent abiding place and although reputed to be worth twenty millions of dollars, pays less tax than hundreds of his fellow citizens not. Worth the one fortieth of $20,000,000. As to his residence, as we said before, he appears to have none or, at all events, he is seldom found "at home" when the assessor or tax collector knocks at the door of what was supposed to be his domicile. Assessed at Mauch Chunk, in Carbon county, on a valua town of $1,000,000, his taxes for State, county, borough, school and bounty taxes iuvuui.cu tu um, wo oeuuve, was in 1867.

He refused to pay, alleging that he had remove'd to Philadelphia, although his family arrangements at Mauch Chunk, with the exception of his personal absence, occasionally, were not changed in the least. The case was carried to court, and while the suit was yet pending he com pro' mised with the authorities by the taxes of 1867 on condition that he should thenceforth be considered a citizen of Philadelphia and not be subject to personal taxation in Carbon county. Now, what follows? We have a letter from a friend in Philadelphia who has carefully examined the books of the assessor of the First ward of that city, and he informs us that "Hon. Asa Packer returned Eight Dollars and Ninety five Cents, on a gold watch and silver plate, for the last year." He has also examined the books of the Board of Revision of Philadelphia, and learns from them that "in the years 1864, 1865 and 1866 Asa Packer was not assessed in the city. In 1867 68 he was placed on the assessor's books, by order of the Board, and paid taxes on $2,800, returned as emoluments of office (probably his salary as President of the Lehigh Valley railroad), on $18,500, as moneys at' interest, and also on two gold watches." And further, that "he is not assessed for 1868, 1869, or 1870." The whole amount of taxes on the returned articles would not probably exceed forty, fifty, or one hundred dollars at the most a sum very far short, indeed, of the $32, 500 with which he was assessed in Carbon county on a low valuation.

No wonder he desires the Commissioners and people of Carbon county to consider him an "outsider." The result of this sham change of residence is, that since 1867 68 he has escaped personal taxation entirely, not having'paid a cent for State, county, borough, or school purposes. And beyond all this there is another fact equally discreditable to this twenty million dollar candidate of the Democratic party. The Pitts burg Commercial has "the certificate of James N.Kerns that Asa Packer'sreturn to the asses sor of the United States for internal taxes is one gold watch and some silver plate, the tax on which amounted to the enormous sum of $8 95 the same that be returned to the assesor of the First ward. In view of these disgraceful facts we trust that the Democratic party will demand 'of their candidate to pay up his back taxes in. fair proportion to the value of his property, and prevail upon him to fix his residence permanently in some section of the State, so that he can be regularly assessed hereafter and found at home when the tax collector calls.

They should cither do this or with draw him from the contest, as it is an insult to the people of Pennsylvania to ask their votes for a man who has defrauded the State and the Federal Government by withholding his jutt proportion of taxes.

The Philadelphia Ace generally manages to show the in the grass," even in its obituary notices of prominent and great men IK HEART IN KANSAS.

In a former article, under this caption, we exhibited the fact that whatever Geary may have assorted on the subject, he, as well as his predecessors and successors, had abundant cause to apprehend assassination at the hands of the Democratic ruffian's in Kansas Territory. We wish it to be clearly understood that all the atrocities to which we shall refer in statements under this head were perpetrated during Democratic administrations, and by and with the sanction, approval and assistance of those administrations. Facts will be given to show that with that sanction, approval and assistance, and in its name, deeds were committed as horrible as any ever known among the most savage tribes, or in the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition and equalled only by those inflicted in the Democratic prison dens of Libby, Belle Isle and Andersonville. The God forsaken, black hearted and blood stained wretches that starved and tortured Union prisoners in the latter named places, were of the same class as those who ravished, mnrdered and mangled their victims in Kansas, over portions of which beautiful country the dark frown of the Almighty has ever since cast its unmistakable and fearful shadows of dire condemnation. In our last number we showed that four successive Democratic Governors, because they would not countenance, encourage, and aid in the assassination of Republican citizens, were themselves threatened successively with assassination by Democratic ruffians in the employ of the Democratic administrations.

But they were not alone in this regard. Democratic Supreme Judges were subject to the same danger, for the same reasons, and left the territory, as did the Governors, with ab hbrrence. When Reeder was appointed Governor, Samuel Dexter Lecompte, of Maryland, was chosen Chief Justice, and Rush Elmore and Sanders N. Johnson associate justices of the Supreme Court ef the Territory. Lecompte, at that time, immediately affiliated with the most ultra, desperate and hardened villains of the Democratic horde of raffians, and there was no work too dark and infamous in which he was unwilling to give a helping hand.

He freely countenanced every enormity, and willingly, at a moment's notice relieved from custody, npon writs of habeas corpus, the most atrocious murderers. Hayes, the murderer of Buffom, asd Clarke, the common assassin, were but specimens of his universal course of action. And yet, we learn that even Lecompte, con science stricken at last, has repented, re formed and separated from his Kansas companions and associates in guilt. In a word, he beoame horrified, and left the Democratic party which he had rendered such efficient service. Hell became too hot even for Lecompte.

Judge Elmore was a slaveholder, and took his slaves with him into the Territory. But he was a just and conservative man, disposed to act fairly and honorably, disapprov ed of the work set out for him to do, and was shocked at the outrages that were wantonly committed, and in which he was expected to be, if not an active participant, at least a placid observer. Judge Johnson, like Elmore, would take no part in or give counten ance to the prevailing disturbances, which fact, being communicated to his Excellency at Washington, by the notorious Calhoun and his murderous coadjutors, their heads were immediately submitted to the Democratic guillotine, and their services were no longer required. Sterling G. Cato, of Alabama, and J.

M. Burrell, of were appointed their sucessors. Cato, of course, for he dared not do otherwise, followed in the footsteps of Lecompte and did his bidding. To him it was of little consequence whether the world revolved or stood still; whether the sun shone, or universal darkness prevailed whether men were killed or permitted to live. He was perfectly satisfied on all these sub jects so he obtained enough to eat, and what, to him, was of far greater importance, plenty to drink.

Let him be well supplied with the latter, and he cared not a fig whether the sun rose in the east or west, or how the world wagged. Judge Burrell, however, had scarcely put his foot in the territory than he became dis gusted with the outrages and official malfeas ance which everywhere. presented, and imme diately returned to Greensburg, where he remained until his death, which took place in October, 1866. Judge Thomas Cunningham, of Beaver county, was chosen his successor and he, too, after visiting Kansas, witnessing the condition of its affairs, being made acquainted with the work he was required to perform, and especially the character of his associates, resigned. without ever entering npon his official duties.

Thus, out of six Democratic Justices of the Supreme Court, appointed by a Democratic President, four of them refused in a single year to perform the base service expected of them by the appointing power. Is not this sufficient to set to thinking seriously every respectable and decent Democrat Four Governors and four Judges of the Supreme Court successively became so disgusted with the infamous character of the Democratic administrations at Washington, and their subservient tools in Kansas, that they indignantly refused to do their dirty work, and threw their commissions in the faces of the Presi dents by whom they were appointed. Who can point to a more humiliating picture of the then dominant party in the history of this natidn, or of any other in the world More anon. The Republican Victory at Wilmington. Last fall the city of Wilmington, in the little State of Delaware which State goes Democratic by a little majority, and has a Legislature about as little as itself this Wilmington gave the Republicans 300 majority.

Such assurance by the leading and most enterprising town of that State was not to be tolerated, and the little Legislature last winter belittled itself by redisricting and changing the limits of the city so as to roll np something handsome for Democratic papers in other States to crow over this year. To make sure work, they did not stop with changing the districts but displaced all inspectors of election, regularly elected, and put Democrats in their places. The day of election came. Democrats chuckled in their sleeves, and glorious headlines were prepared of the "overturning of radical misrule," and the "downfall of the citadel of Republican rotteness in The votes were counted, when lo high upon the wall is marked 60 majority for the Republican candidate for mayor. Poor, disappointed Democracy, let these sad chirps con tinue for we know with such disasters con stantly befalling you, yon must ever "feel saddest while you sing." 4 The Contested Election Case.

The lawyers engaged in trying the great Philadelphia election frauds, involving the officers of the whole municipal government who received certificates of election last October, are now arguing the case before the Court of Common Pleas. A decision is not expected before the end of the present month. If testimony has its due weight it is believed the present incumbents (Democrats) will be ousted. The Democracy of Maryland are quarreling on the negro question, says a cotemporary. We should like to know where they are not quarreling on some question.

From the Bbeffield Daily Telegraph, of Tuesday. August 24, 1869. IS FREE TRADE A MISTAKE To the. Editor the Sheffield Daily Tele graph Sir: Already the cloud no bigger than a man's hand has arisen, already the still small voice of popular opinion is beginning to make itself heard why an investigation shoold not be made into the working of the free trade system, as introduced by Mr. Cob den, as every one is aware or ought to be aware that the commercial position of the country is known by the exports which in manufactured articles should be more than the imports.

It is no wonder people are complaining of bad times when we stand in the position we now are in. To what extent foreign competition has extended may be best gathered from the following figures In 1854, the total excess of imports over British exports was represented by 55,204,327. In 1860 this excess had reaehed 74,639,616, and in 1868 the total excess of imports over exports had amounted to the enormous and ruinous sum of 116,047,922 an amount more by 13, 081,665 than the whole of onr textile manufactures exported to the whole world, giving a balance' against us in our foreign trade for the year 1868 of 116,000,000 sterling. In 1856 6 7 collectively our imports from France averaged about 10 millions sterling, but in 1868, when the treaty had been in force about nine years, the imports from France reached the sum of 34 millions, being an increase over the average of the first three years of upwards of three millions. What must be the effects of free admission into this country of 362,523 clocks and watches, of 77,145,920 yards of cotton manufacture, of 404,644 cwts.

of glass, of 327, 003 lbs. of straw hats ond bonnets, of 468,240 pairs of boots and shoes, of 10,714,188 pairs of kid and other gloves, of of silk manufactures, of 2,261,192 of woollen and worsted yam What amount of labor would not these articles have found for onr half starving population Whilst certain articles such as tea, coffee, sugar, which we cannot produce ourselves, are admitted only at heavy duties, other articles which we can produce, and oar half starved countrymen are literally dying to produce, are admitted free, such as silks, woollens, watches and clocks, cottons, hats, gloves, Ac. The foreign masters can manufactnre at 30 per cent, less than we can, and yet they can import their goods free. There was bullion in the Bank of England, in January, 1853, 20,527,000 and in April, 1869, only 17,225,000, showing a decrease of 3,302,000. In the Bank of France there was bullion, January 13th, 1853, in April, 1869, 47,102,112, or an increase of 27,084,164.

These figures are facts, and plainly show who is making the money. It commends itself to the notice of every right minded man who loves his country and its welfare. Let us have free trade by all means. Free trade is a free exchange of commodities. This at present we have not got.

At the present moment about one in every 18 persons of England and Wales is in receipt of parochial relief, there was paid in 1853 4,939, 064 for pauperism, but in 1868 7,500,000 was paid. In London alone the amount expended in relief was in 1859 117,935, while in 1868 it was 279,898. Since 1853 upwards ef threemillions of onr people have emigrated, and principally to extremeprotectivecountries, where their labor has found a better reward, but at the same time it has been the means of greater foreign productiveness. We have tried free trade so long in face of other protective producing countries that it is almost time we protected ourselves. I am, sir, yours faithfully, Sheffield, Aug.

21, 1869. M. Wood. Editor Harrisburg Telegraph. Sir: As Free Trade and Protection are questions which have long since, and still are, absorbing the attention of many of the leading minds of different countries, and fast becoming a political issue, sooner or later to be decided by the voting population of this country, I enclose you an article contributed to the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, England, by one of the leading manufacturers of that country, which I trust will be carefully read by every reader of your paper, and which, I have no doubt, will have some tendency to remove the scales from the eyes of some who see differently, if not convince every reasonable man that such a policy is as ruinous in this conn try as in England, for if cheaper labor in' other countries is driving the manufacturers of England from their own markets, closing np their establishments and bringing poverty and distress among the operatives, is it not fair to presume that articles manufactured in England with lower price labor, if allowed to be shipped to this country free of duty, will produce the same results amoDg the better paid operatives of this connlry? Other questions of political importance may be too complicated to be easily comprehended by every voter of this country, but here is one so general in its character and so plainly illustrated in the article alluded to, that in my opinion the question carries with it its own answer.

Chris. Lewis. The Patriot lias met with a little comfort ing intelligenee at last. A gentleman who has been traveling extensively in the State lie doesn' tell us what parts of it informs our credulous neighbor that he has not heard of any defection anywhere in the Democratic ranks, but he has heard of dissatisfaction amoDg the Republicans everywhere. This gentleman ought to be handsomely rewarded for his timely information, as the central organ and all the party at its back have been very despondent of late.

Seriously, the "gentle man" is a humbug, and "knows not whereof he speaks." The reverse of what he states is true, to wit Everywhere the Democracy are quarreling, while the Republican party is as nearly a unit as it ever was, and is confident of re electing Geary by at least 20,000 majority. Mark that. A Handsome Contribution. The Beaver Radical is responsible for the statement that Packer has paid his first installment toward campaign expenses to the Democratic State Committee, and that the amount was a round one hundred thousand. This was done three weeks ago, and Packer, in order to get the money back headed the coal conspiracy by which the price was recently raised from one to two dollars per ton.

As the owner of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and most of Lehigh coal mines, he can make the amount of this contribution in two or three weeks. The joke is on the Republicans, since they, in purchasing coal, have been compelled to contribute toward Packer'selectioneering expenses. Democrats are of course willing to pay the extra price demanded, since it is for the good of "the party." The Democracy of Bucks county have again placed in nomination for Assemby Messrs. Joshua Beans and Edward M' Kinstry. These gentlemen have already served their constituents two sessions in the House, and the renomination proves their popularity with the Democracy of Backs as nothing else can.

If Bucks county will send Democrats to the Legislature, Messrs. Beans and M'Kinstry are the men to represent them. The Patriot, in the absence of anything else, occasionally indulges in a fling at Governor Geary for taking the census of four townships in Westmoreland county in 1860. Such narrow minded attacks nlwnvn rppnil with double force upon the instigator, besides proving the charlatan writer of more misera ble stuff than the professional getters up of such quackery, one of whom liveB in Centre county.

Sometime since, when the news of the great destruction of hnman life in a coal mine in England was published in country, we felt quite secure in the beliof that fire damp would not soon produce such horrible effects in the mines of this State from the fact that it has never proved such a deadly enemy here as in other countries. But the terrible disaster at Plymouth, Luzerne county, proves tbat fire damp ie a dangerous element in our mines, and also that a conlagration at the month of a mine with no other means than the one shaft for ventilation, must prove destructive in its results.

The horrible calamity at the Avondale mine is one of the most distressing, touching and destructive accidents that has ever occcurred in this or any other Over 200 lives have been lost, and the distress and gloom which pervades Plymouth and vicinity is described as heartrending. The accounts published jn the Telegraph yesterday and today so vividly portray all that can be said in the space we can give from day to day, as to render unnecessary any extended comments editorially to day. The accident, however, calls to mind the Vast great accident in Pennsylvania mines, which occurred in Carbondale in 1850. A large mine caved in, destroying over a hundred lives, and ruining the mine. When the cave occurred the pressure of air from the falling' mass was so great that it blew a boy and a mule an eighth of a mile out of the narrow entrance to the mine.

A few of those entombed worked their way out through all the dangers of fire damps and foal air, but the most of them perished by starvation, or fell a prey to the rats, which in coal mines grow to an enormous size. One man was seven days in digging his way to the surface. The recent horror may continue to chill our veins with personal incidents, and thrilling details bat the worst has been told the 204 hearty, cheerful, able bodied men who went into the mines on the morning of last Monday have passed from time into eternity, leaving to the charities of the cold world hundreds of widows and orphan children.

Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the Allentown iron works, situated in the Sixth ward, and superintended by Samuel Lewis, Esq. The works were among the most extensive in this country, giving employment to about six Hundred bands, and were owned principally by stockholders in Philadelphia. Mr. Lewis, the Superintendent, owning probably more stock than any other individual. They consisted of four immense stacks, four large cast houses, three coal houses, store house, engine houses, and other buildings necessary for the carrying on of the heavy business of the turnace.

The Allentown Register of this morning says "The fire originated in the waste room of the engine house attached to the stack No. 3. and is supposed ta have caught from the lamp i mi i oi me engineer, me ore men communicated to. the engine house, and quickly spread iu catu ui uis cugiuo uuubcb, involving in one sheet of flame the whole mass of build ings. The loss to the Allentown iron works will amount to about $300,000, which is fully covereu uy insurance.

"1 he saddest part of the conflagration is the throwing out ot employment of over one thou sand hands. Six hundred hands were em ployed in the furnace, and these, las well as about four hundred who were employed at the mine, will nearly all be compelled to cease work on account of the stoppage of operations at me lurnace.

A meeting was held at a quarter past three this afternoon, in the private room of General Butterfield, at the Sub Treasury, to take action regarding the death of General John A. Rawlins. A largenumberof leading citizens were present. On motion, Mr. Yermilyea was elected President, and a committee on resolutions was appointed, of which Hon.

Horace Greeley was appointed chairman. This committee reported a series of resolutions expressive of the feeling of the meeting. While the resolutions were preparing Mr. Greeley stated that the meeting had been called by General Butterfield, to take into consideration the straightened pecuniary circumstances of General Rawlins' family, and he moved that a sum of $50,000 be raised by subscription for Mrs. Rawlins.

This motion was carried nem, and the subscription was at once started, Mr. A. T. Stewart leading off with $1,000, and the following gentlemen followed his example, viz H. B.

Clafflin, ex Senator Thomas Murphy, Moses Taylor, Mosses H. Grinnell, Joseph Seligman, Gen. E. A. Merritt, S.

M. Forbes, Henry Clews, Wm. Yermilyea, Paul A. Spofford and Fiske Hatch. While these names were being recorded the following dispatch was received from Washington "Washington, Sept 73 o'clock p.

m. Put me down for $1,000 for the widow of General Rawlins. U. S. Grant." The total amount raised on the spot was $15,000, and on motion the list was left in the hands of General Butterfield to receive additions.

General Butterfield announces that the purchase of United States bonds advertised for to morrow will be nostDoned until twelve o'clock, out of respect to the memory of General Rawlins. The Custom House and Sub Treasury will be closed to morrow and suitably draped, and flags half masted, etc. N. Y. Evening Pott, Uh.

A KKW Are alarm system is to be established in New York city. The new apparatus is expected to cost about $200,000, but it is expected to pay for itself within s. year. The machinery at the central office to be new and greatly improved new poles and wires are to be furnished, and the alarm siuons will be increased and provided with a new ai absolutely trustworthy signal apparatus. Among other radical changes will be the abolition ef the tower bells, the ringing of which, it is asserted, was too often a signal for riot and disorder equally as an alarm for fire.

The claim of the bellringers on the towers, that they discovered a large proportion of the fires in 1868, it is contended dees not excuse their sendingout many unnecessary alarms, and their being almost invariably behind the gongs in the engine houses iu giving the signal for fires. Tbrke years ago a lady who was traveling had her tronk (the contents of which were valued at over one thousand hve hundred dollars) stolen at 111., and, after a fruitless attempt to find it, the railroad com pany settled with the lady, paying her mil value for the loss. They have been on the watch, however, and a few weeks ago the check that was on her trunk was found in a cellar at Uelvidere, and from that circumstance the thief was traced out, and found to be Truman R. Hunt, who at the time of the theft was night watchman at the Belvidere depot Hunt was found at Chicago, and taken to Belvidere to await trial. NEW PUBLICATION.
