Official returns from all the counties in Penn sylvania have been received. They give a democratic majority of 2,774. The following comparative state- ment of the number of votes cast in that State at ‘the last and previous elections is suggestive : ‘Fora! vote tn 1866 ‘Boral vote in 1855. Rerease in one year 91,722 In the Legislature the democrats have a majority of three on joint ballot. Tt has been satisfactorily ascertained that outra- geous frauds were perpetrated in Indiana daring the recent struggle, and the republicans have deter: mined to contest the election. The vote in the ‘Ninth and Eleventh Congressional districts is larger by twelve thousand than in 1854, indicating an i | erease of the population of the State of more than @ quarter of a million in two years. We publish in to-day’s paper another budget cf political intelligence, comprising letters from uur eorrespondents containing important informat @] relative to the position of affairs in Pennsylvanu- the statements of Messrs, Sanderson and Gibboms, fhe respective champions of the Fillmore and Fre. mont committees in Philadelphia, explanatory of ‘the charges growing out of the recent election; to- gether with several extracts from the Southera press wpon secession from the Union and the slavery question; all of which are very imeresting, J worthy of attentive perusal by politicians of ui parties, and may also be read with profit by persons of no party, if such there be in these exciting times ‘The steamship Hermann arrived yesterday morn ing from Southampton, with European advicesto' § ‘8th inst. The commercial and financial news | @ been anticipated by the late arrivals at Quebec, Pi: Jadelphia and Halifax. An official report to | @ Bmperor Napoleon on the French budget for tue year 1857, which will be found in our colamns, had attracted great attention in Europe, and the ne J veport of the Bank of France was looked forw % imtence interest. The French Emperor had addreas @ @ letter of advice to the Queen of Spain, in which he suggests to her Majesty a course of executi € reform, some of the points of which he is very slow te practise himself. The report of Commission % @orwine to our government on the late massacre .& Panama,and the remedy—occupation of the Istlg mus—which he suggested, caused a profound sensation in England. Tne United States frigate Merrimac was still at Southampton. In Italy poli- ‘tieal aftairs were in a very disturbed condition, but the alhed demonstration against the King of Naples seemed to hang back. We are pleased to learn that the steamer France § Azago, the pioneer of a new line of steamships + tablished by a French company, under authority « the French government, le{t Havre for New Orleans om the 30th ult. She was fall of freignt, and had a Hist of seventy-three passengers. This line is to ran wegularly between Havre and New Urieans, stopping at some of the French West India Islands. A letter from Gov. Geary, of Kansas, dated 10th instant, announces the restoration of peace in that Territory. He says tha! for two weeks no outrages have been reported, and that many of the mostn § torious characters e left the country. He adds that he will shortly proceed with a small force in pursuit of a gang of thieves in the Southern portion of the Territory. The New Orleans Delta, of the 19th inst., states that the proposition of Commodore Vanderbilt to the Opelousas Failroad Company has beea accepted by the directors, and an efficient and regular line of first class steamers will soon commence running from Berwick’s Hay to Galveston and Matagorda, ia eonnection with the railroad, thus shortening the @istance twenty-four hours, or about one-half, be- tween New Orleans and Texas. It is expected that & coutract for carrying the mail will be given to the new line. The Delta becomes greatly elated over this bit of enterprise, and discourses eloquently about preserving the equilibriam of trade between New Orleans and New York and ether Northern cities. It is also slightly indignant, as well as hopeful, as the following will show:—“This line once established and success fully ran, with the encouragement and patronage of eur merchants aud moneyed men, there is little doubt but it would be followed by one to Brazos Sentiago, to Tampico, and in due time to Tehnant- pec—to which the hand of destiny pointe as the great inter-oceanic route on this contiaent. Let the Tehuantepec transit be once put in operation, and it will be by far the shortest route for mails and possengers to and from Califorma, and there is no Feason why the California mails should not be re- ceived as well as made up in thiscity. The prac tice of sending them by, and taking our own letters nd papers to New York, has Ween aa insult as well as an injury. For not only has the Californis ‘and Mexican builion beea taken by our doors and ever brought back, but our letters—important in regard to business, or precious as gentle tokens of friendship or afection—have also been often com- pelled to make a Northern tour before they were alowed to reech their destination. All this should be reformed, and the sooner the better.” We give elsewhere a resumé of the Wall street transactions of Chas. 8 Huntington, now incarce- rated in the Tombs for extensive forgeries. The manner tn which he obtained and in which be apent money ia interesting. Mr. A. F. Leonard, # democrat and editor of the Norfolk Argus, recently invited Mr. C. W. Mar- @angh, of Purtemouth, Va., 9 Fillmore man, to mor- tal combat, bat by @ sort of Pickwickian explana- tion the matter was subsequently adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties. This, the latest affair of honor, eprung from some objectionable expressions employed by both parties in animadverting apoa the Fremont pole and banner raising joke perpetrat. ed at Portemonth the other day. There was a somewhat better tone exhibited in the cotton market yesterday, and the sales reached abont 800 a 900 bales, based npon quotations given im another commn. Flour was heavy, with mode pate sales, and the market closed at a decline of about 5¢. a 10c, per barrel, especially for common and mediam grades. Wheat was inactive, while extent at 68.0 69. Pork was heavy and easier, with sales of mess at $20 75 a $21, while prime was at $18 37a $15 50 Sugars were again more active and firm. The sales embraced 3,000 boxes, 2,100 of which were purchased by one refinery, at 94c., and 900 do. sold at 9fc., and 2,000 a 2,500 bhds. were sold, including a few hundred Porto Rico, and the remainder, Cuba muscovados, at prices given in another column. Coffee was quiet. Grain freights to Liverpool were rather easier, with moderate en- gagements, at prices ranging from 8}d.a 94d, in bulk and bags. ‘Whe Controversy about Fremont’s Religion— Conspiracy between Archbishop Hughes and Senator Breoks. Perhaps the mostextraordinary of the many extraordinary features of the pending canvass, is the virulence and heat with whick a religious, or an apparently religious question—respecting the private faith of Colonel Fremont—has been dragged into the general controversy. We say itis an extraordinary feature ; for assuredly if there were any mischief, any popular fallacy of «iden time of which we had a right to deem our- relves cured, it was that of interference with re- ligious creeds. After all the years that Roger Williams has now been lying in his unknown grave, we had the right to think that in this coun- try at least there would be no more question about creeds, no more inquisitorial catechisms on doctrine, no more good and true men persecuted and reviled because they chose to seek Heaven in their own way, whatever that way was. And now, full two centuries after the first enunciation of liberty of conscience in America, we come to discover that all our work is in vain, all our pro- gress a lie, all our hopes a delusion; that re- ligious intolerance thrives as rankly as ever among us, and that if men are no longer burnt at the stake on account of their religious opinions, it is not for the want of the spirit which lit the fires of the martyrs. We mean, of course, to allude, with what shame and sorrow befit the case, to the pereecu- tion which has been aroused against Col. Fremont by the Roman Catholic Archbishop, John Hughes, and the Protestant Senator, Erastus Brooks. These two men—the antipodes of each other— the one ruling his church wisely, but expressing to the world through his newspaper sentiments and doctrines which might have suited the atmos- phere of the fifteenth century, but are absolutely idiotic to day—the other, on the sarface (of the inner man we speak not) a rabid Protestant, howling eternally about Jesuits, and crosses, and Papal despotisms, and foreign potentates, mean- ing the poor old Pope, and reviving, like the Archbishop, the nonsenical bigotry of the mid- die ages : these two men, we say, for what pur- pose they know best, are now united in a sort of crusade egainst Colonel Fremont, and are sabor- ing with a unity worthy of the contrast between them, to arouse the meanest feelings of the more ignorant Protestants of the country villages against his Presidential candidature. What may be the bond of union between them, we do not pretend to say ; it is known that Erastus Brooks was pufled into notoriety by the kindly condescen- sion of the Archbishop, yet no one ever knew why John Hughes went out of his way thus to make Brooks: the present case is another mys- tery of the same kind. All that we know and can safely say is that the pair want to defeat Fre- mont, and are united in trumping up false stories, and spreading mean calumnies about him and his religion, in order to influence Protestant votes. Their tactics differ. Brooks, with the brutal coarseness of his nature, sits down and writes a lie over his own signature; pries into the bed- room, the closet, the family Bible, the ancestral blots of Colonel Fremont ; never blushes or hesi- tates, but does his dirty work openly, rather piquing himself on it than otherwise; and when all New York is holding its nose at the fel low’s approach, complacently writes that nine respectable men have called him a “blackguard,” seven “a liar,’ and a full score have desired to see him kicked. Hughes,on the contrary, is your true Jesuit. On the face of him, he is a sort of modern St. Peter, in Irish binding. He has not a fault about bim. He only hears of the election accidentally in the course of conversa- tion, when some one tells Lim that his black mag Friday alias McMaster has been doing a little campaign perjury. The pious Archbishop is shocked. He reprimands McMaster; tells hira that he cannot, will not, approve such very groes perjury, and writes to one of the heavy papers down town to say that false oaths are not exactly in his archiepiseopal line, and will peo- ple be good enough to take notice, and not blame him for the sins of poor Friday? But, mark you, his Grace stops here. He reproves Friday with a touching sorrow, but he does not stop his mouth On the contrary, fresh from the archiepiscopal presence, Friday perjures himself more despe- rately than ever. We have no doubt the good Archbishop rubs his hands piowsly, and is shocked again; but no word from him bids Friday hold that lying tongue of his. What then ? shall we spare his Grace? Heaven forbid! With all his coarseness, we had far rather have the straightforward burglarious course of Brooks than the sneaking pickpocket calumnies of the Archbishop, uttered through the mouth and over the name of this miserable man Friday. But the pair of them are only worth noticing as types of aberration of intellect. Drive them to the wall and they both collapse like that great gun of the democracy—whom by the way we re- get to see deserted by the Daily News and the Journal of Commerce—Mr. Means, of Port Coving. ton, who had the good fortune to discover that Fremont was born in Canada, and was handled in connection with that discovery by the Hon. Mr. Masson, of Montreal, in a way that will be likely to repress his letter-writing propensities for the future. We call upon Senator Brooks and his ally the Archbishop for the production of the witnesses they have appealed to. Let them pro- duce Mrs. Cummings if they dare! Let them produce the groomsman, if they dare ! or do they dread the fate of Means? Tar War on Mayor Woon—Our amiable cotemporaries of the Tridune cannot get over their hostility to Mayor Wood. They are continually harping on that string. It is a little singular, however, that the particular act for which the Mayor is thus opposed was the result of a letter, in white and black, from the principal Tritune philosopher himself. This is a strange fit of in- consistency on the part of the philosopher against the Mayor. There is something mys- terious about it. We should like to see that letter, under which the only appointment abso. lutely at the discretion of the Mayor was deter- mined in favor of the philosopher's views. Perhaps, however, the real policy of our philoso- phere, in their opposition to Mayor Wood, may be to aid in bie re-election, upon the theory that the people of thie city uniformly go contrary to the advice of the Tribune in reference to Corporation affairs; and according to that sound old maxim, prices were pnchanged. Corn sold to ® moderate | that ‘one good turn deserves another.” Orentxc or Negoriations For THe EstaBLisi- MENT or Travian OreRa—We understand that negotiations have been commenced for the re- establishment of Italian Opera at the Academy of Music, under new auspices. The recent con- troversy, leading to some ugly personalities be- tween the directors and Max Maretzek, has left an irreconcileable feud between the parties, and has broken off any attempts that might have been made to reinstate the old impresario, Max. On the other hand, we leara that a sumber of ambi- tious musical personages, anxious to distinguish themselves in Opera management, have taken the field within the past few days, and commenced negotiations with the directors for the opening of the Academy under a new direction. Among these personages is Mr. Strakosch, who, in combi- nation with several astute Hebrews who have “de monish,” has been endeavoring to strike a bargain for the lease of the Academy. Mr. Strakosch has under engagement at present a very good concert company, with Parodi as the prima donna, that noble Roman, Tiberini, as the tenor, Bernardi and Morino, excellent baritonea. He only wants a basso anda prima donna compri- maria to make up a very respectable troupe. Some months since another distinguished indi- vidual, Mr. Fry, proposed to Strakosch that their forces should be united, and thus make a team, including Strakosch as the musical director, Ed- ward P. Fry as the financial manager, and Wil- liam H. Fry, who is now in the country making bad speeches for Fremont, as the composer, to furnish original American Operas. These three distinguished individuals—for they have been notoriousor distinguished, which isabout the same thing, in operatic matters—have certain merits and certain demerits ; but altogether, it would be only just to give them a good start and a fair trial for the ensuing season. We certainly have no reason to think very highly of either of these remarkable personages, but we ehall not be wanting in magnanimity, and we sincerely trust that they have profited by their former experiences, and that they will display capacity, talent, saga- city and genius as managers of the Italian Opera. Mr. Strakosch has great merit as a musician, but is versatile and unreliable asa man. It is pro- bable, however, that with two or three distin- guished Hebrews with “de monish” at his back, he will make a pretty good manager for the or- chestra, the chorus, the prees, the ballet girls and other elements considered necessary for the suc- cess of the Opera. Mr. E. P. Fry was in former days rather vain of his oratorical abilities, and made too many speeches before the curtain and behind the scenes, but we have the authority of Mr. Hackett—the Baron, we mean—that he was a very good financier, keeping his books fair and square. It is possible that he has learned wisdom in the dear echool of experience, and that he may be greatly improved. The third member of this great trio is Mr. William H. Fry, the famous ma- sical composer. He once had an opera called «Leoncra,” which was played to admiriog houses in Philadelphia, but which was severely criticised by the journals of the day. There is no harm in giving the maestro another chance to display his musical genius and his power as a composer. We are perfectly willing that the ex- periment should be tried. Mr. Fry must, how- ever, be more judicious in his music than he is n his politics, One thing more. If Mr. Phalen and his coaul- jutors resolve to place the Academy uoder the temporary direction of the persons above named, we stipulate for the entire freedom of the press in operatic criticism, without the fear of libel suits. If there are any quarrels between the managers and the artists, and the press takes sides with the unfortunate singer, and against the manager, we demand that its right to speak freely on the subject shall not be in fringed. With this understanding we are per- fectly willing that the Academy should pass into the hands of this combination, and if Mr. Phalen intends to make an arrangement with them, we hope it will be done at once. We are all dying jor the Opera, and must have it ander some di- rection or other. We trust that Strakosch and Company will avoid all the rocks and snags, and come out with flying colors aad plenty of “ de Tur Conxprrion or tHe Great Conriier— During the remaining few days to the fourth of November the principal work to be done by the several parties in the field devolves upon the per- sonal efforts of the members of each party among their fellow-eitizens, in every State, connty, city, town, village, school district and hamlet in the Union, Public meetings, processions, nc vepaper articles, stump speeches, documents, pamphlets, &e, are now unnecessary, and a wasteful expen- diture of time, labor and money. The argument on all sides is closed. All that can now be done must be done by personal efforts among the people; by proper precautions for a plentiful supply of genuine tickets; by proper mersures against spurious ta, spur rious voters and ballot stuffing; by liberal ar- rangements for invalid and poor voters who cao not well afford to lose the expenses of a day in attending the polls; by proper arrangements for the protection of the polls againet bullies and ruffians, &e., &e. The personal efforts of the active and capable members of this party or that party, as they may be most usefully employed in the few important days to the great day of bat- tle, will probably settle the qnestion. Nothing but the most active, organized and wauntary ex ertions of the opposition forces can now reverse the fortunes of the campaign. Tae Daxorrs or 4 Towerina Axorrion.— Some of our cotemporaries, including a few mag- nanimous politicians, are mourning over the ea- den fall of George Law from his late dizzy po- litical height down to the bottom of the deep sea of political obscurity! They think that we should not have thus cruelly, at a single blow, demolished the god of our idolatry. We think differently. George Law was a public man of our manafac- ture. To get him up in the political world, he cost us six months of bard work, an ag ful expenditure of brains, and many thou- sand dollars in paper and printing wasted upon him. When we visited Europe last year we left him a great man—strong on his legs, up- right in his position—his brow touching the sky and his shadow covering the land; when we re- turned, we found him down in the dirt, sur- rounded by a clique of hangry suckers, who had perenaded him to set up business on his own ac- count, and to kick from under him the solid plat- form which, at a vast expense of time, labor and money, we had built for him to stand upon. The suckers that bad gathered around him had flat tered him into the idea that he could stand upon his own bottom. We are now satisfied that he has belaved meanly and shabbily in various ways—that he has encourage the abeurd idea that he had bought up and controlled the New Yonk Henaxn, just as he could buy gp an Alderman, @ member of Congress, Cr ®* rotten member of the Cabinet. When our magr’éfeent idol begun thus to betray his mean inst nets, we thought it time to demolish him and th’s hatch of suckers that were bleeding him to d'ath. He was a political experiment of ours 4 politician of our manufacture—we made him, and surely a man may do what he pleases with hig own. Thus, having let him down from his fofty delusions, he is at liberty to resume his proper functions of buying and selling rail- roads, steamboats, Aldermen, Congresamen, Cabi- net officers and other vendible articles; but he will have learned this good lesson, that it is dan- gerous to play the buyer and seller with an inde- pendent journal, which has nothing to ask and nothing to fear of trading politicians, big or lit- tle. We dare say that the suckers that have in- flated George Law with the idea that he owned the Heraxp office, have fleeced him of at least a hundred thousand dollars) He has cost us, perhaps, not less than twenty thousand, so that in cutting him down to his original dimensions there will be a saving on both sides. In relieving him of his suckers our charity cannot be ques- tioned. The prisoner is discharged. Mysterious Movement or Cot. Fremont.— Our distressed Fillmore cotemporary, the Hon. Booby Brooks, has made another terrible dis- covery, which has thrown him again into a shaking ague. He can’t sleep of nights on ac- count of the late mysterious disappearance of Col. Fremont from the city for a few days. The discovery is that Fremont has been off to Canada. He went North—he went towards Canada—he must have been to Canada; he couldn’t have miseed Canada, supposing he travelled due North only half the time he was absent. The conclusion, therefore, is that he has been toCanada. But why Canada’ Why should he go off, encog., to Canada at this crisis? There’s the mystery, which has not only thrown Booby Brooks into a shaking ague, but which bas excited the most fearful emotions in the mind of the extraordinary Stephen H. Branch, the great Panama hunter of alligators, the great expeditionist in search of the birthplace ot the Chief of Police, and the shining light of Alder- man Briggs as his exclusive candidate for Mayor It is difficult to say whether Branch, Briggs or Brooks is most excited, amazed and bewil‘p ed at this late mysterious journey of Fremont, which must have been to Canada. It so happens, however, that this mystery, like all the other mysteries concerning Fremont, is easily solved. Col. Fremont has been on a visit of a few days to the wooded and mountainous regions of northern New York, His object wasa little re- laxation of mind and body from the pressure of the numerous visiters from all parts of the Uniou an almost continuous throng, day and night, at his house in Ninth street, for some months past. He selected the wild forest regions of northera New York, as the best adapted io his objects o! relaxation, retirement and vigorous manly exercise in the pure air of the moun- tains, to whieh he has for so many years been aceustomed. He comes back as fresh aud elastic as if just in from an exploration of the wilds of Oregon, the defiles of the Sierra Ne- vada, or the romantic mountain lakes which fringe the western border of the Great Basin of Utah On this visit, however, he has not been out of the United Stater at all. He has had no occasion to goto Canada. The free, pure air of our own free mountains, free exercise, recreation and rest, were the sole objects of his late mysterious jour- ney, and these having been achieved he has re- turned home. Let Booby Brooks, therefore cease to roll up the whites of his eyes, and let the excitable Branch take a good sweat and sleep off the nightmare of this mysterious and imagi- nary journey of Colonel Fremont to Canada. Re-oreninG THE Stave Trape.—Two of thow suggestive articles which have frequently ap- peared, in the present political contest, in the Southern journals, are published elsewhere in this paper. One is relative to re-opening the African slave trade, and the other touches upon a Southern confederacy. Several days ago we gave an outline of the slave trade scheme, and now we have it more fully developed. Quem Deus vult perdere, prius dementat, We see by the Charleston Mereury that there are now serious doubts of a united Southern confederacy. ‘Trem Panovt Concent has been postponed till Monday night.

TOWN, AT THE FASHIONABLE WATERING AND IN THE TOMBE. Since the immense frauds perpetrated by Charles B. Huntington on brokers in Wall street have come to light there is xo small ebare of curicsity in the public mind tc learn how it is tbat be could have been #0 successfai bis rogueries in that place of sharpers. The frauds com. mitted by Schuyler, a couple of years ago, were easily’ comprebended. He wes the president of a railroad com. pany, and entrusted with the issue of ite stook; and the) simplest mind could understand how, with implicit confi. dence reposed in him, he could overiseue stock to all any amount. But in the case of Huntington—whos name has been for the last two weeks before the it is difficult to comprehend bow he, who was fm financial circles a year or two ago, Could have succeed ed im victimizing the note-shavers of Wall street to amount of some half s million of dollars. The mode by) which he did so, we will try to «xplain:— ‘The first trace that we can find of Mr. Huntington’: connection with flioancial matters dates back only so far ‘as 1862; when he and two of three other individuals fell into the hands of the police of this city for the sharc which they had in getting up a fraudulent sbinplaste concern under the title of the ‘Anacostia Bank of Wash ington, D.C.” Indictments were found against him anc bis accomplices on that occasion, but they were neve: brought to trial, on account—as appears from an endorse ment on the bill—of scme informalfty or incompletenes. in the proof, We next find him, shortly thereafter, having a littic ‘box of an office in Wall street, where he purported to car ry on the business of # bill broker im 8 email retail style. This business consists im acting o ® sort of agent or go-between for brokers en « larger scale—that is, he would go to a broke ‘and find out what he would sell certain notes for, ani then he would go to another broker and sscertain wha be would give for such notes, and then, if he foand bh could realise any profit by the transaction, he woald buy from one and sell to the other. At this time he boarde up town with his wife on a modest scale. He agreed ¢ pay $16 a week for their board, but even this moderat: sum be did not, it is said, find it convenient to pay. H left that boarding house and went to the Metropolita: Hotel, where he stayed for some time; but hedid no bere indulge in any of the extravagancies into which bh: afterwards launched. he subsequently went to tho Nev ‘York Hotel, where it seems he commenced to be mor liberal in his expendisures. We alterwards find him oc cupying part of a house in’Fifteenth street, and recently owning two or three houses in Twenty-seoond street, ‘Nothing is more strange in connection with Hunting ton’s career than the fact that he was so little known ‘1 ‘Wall street or in commercial circles. Our con versed to-day with some of the principal brokers on th: street; few of them bad dealings with him, them had never heard of bim until the time of his arrest And yet be could raise bal a million of dollars amon; that confraternity on torged notes, wherein the signa tures did pot even pretend to be imitations. ‘The supposition ir that tt is only witbin the les eighteen mouths that Huntington commenced to operav See. it may Bot be even so long.
