Consolatioffn Adversity.
The Oregonian claims that the recent
' defeats and losses by the Republican
- O party arc due to- the light vote cast. We.
ave not seen the totals of any State, but
O in New York, where the Federal authori
Cr ties interfered to prevent "illegal voting"
or " repeating,' aa has been charged was
heretofore done, it appears that the vote
is fully as large as at the previous elec-
n . i I. . S . ?
tion, arm that is alter, as me vrcgornun
saya: "It will be seen that by the en
forcement of the Congressional election
law the crowd of repeaters failed to get in
twenty or .thirty thoiuand ballots that
were counted on." This shows that a very
full vote must have been polled in New
York, and we believe that every State was
warmly contested. The Radicals knew
that tbtir party vns on trial, ami every
thing was done that could to gain an en
dorsement. The Oregonian might as well
tell the people of Oregoithat there was
no effort made by the Radicals to carry
ibis State last June, and that a very small
rote vra3 cast. It would be equally as
true. There are twenty-six U. S. Senators
to elect by the Legislatures which were
and are to be elected this fall, and an as
sertion that the Radicals do not use every
means in their poyver to retain this power
in the Senate, is simply showing a man's
propensities' for misrepresenting facts.
O From what we can learn from our Eastern
exchanges, there never was more interest
felt in an election than Ihere was in those
which have taken place this year. The
The Radicals were compelled to make a
desperate fight to hold the lower House
of Congress, and also to save themselves
in the Senate. It was life and death with
them, and in every State they used the
same corrupt and dishonest means to gain
the election as was done in Oregon. The
Oregonian may console itaelf in tGe false
idea that the vote wa3 not full ; but we
predict that if the vote was not full in
any State, it was from the Democratic
tide, where the members had but little
l ope of accomplishing anything, and consequent-
remained away from the polls;
and two years hence the full strength of
the men opposed to the ruinous and
humiliating course of the administration
will be rolled up against it, and the defeat
at Waterloo will be insignificant to that
which awaits the Radical party in 1S72.
The tottering and .rotten hulk of Radical
ism is sinking, and no amount of misrepre
sentation and falsehood will save the worn
out structure. It has become a stench in
the nostrils of all decent men. and in 1872
there will be none left to uphold it save
thote who, like the Oregonian editor, ex
pect to receive an appointment or other
consideration. Ic will only be composed
cf a faction of Federal office holders and
thieves who hang to the spoils of office.
The days of Radicalism are numbered,
nnd no one sees the handwriting on the
wall plainer than does the editor of the
Oregonicn. He tries to keep up an ap
pearance to deceive his deluded followers.
O What we Expected. The Radical pregs
f f this State, while it acknowledges a sig-
o
nal defeat m the late elections, consoles
itself with, "that it was r.ot as complete
as the Democracy expected." We feel!,.'" UJU aiu ol ia5cr "t,er ottier ntxt

pide of New England. Tbe negro vote in
Ohio and Pennsylvania is all that carried
those States this time, and before the
Presidential election comes off. a sufficient
number of white men will be disgusted
with the negro party to vote against the
administration. The present gains are a
good indication, and while wo wished
more, we have received all that we could
have anticipated when all things r.re
taken into consideration. An honest and
lair nomination at the next National
Democratic Convention is equal to an
flection.
Let it he Rememkkred. la the corres
pondence published last week from the
County Commissioners, it will be remem
bered that they gay that the present. Court
House (which costs the county $200 per
annum more than the old one was offered
jot) was renieu at mo Vcivber term. Let
It be remembered that Messrs. Myers and
Ralston proposed to the Commissioners,
at the October icvm, before any business
was transacted, on Monday morning, in
writing, to reduce therent to $100 per
nnnutu. These are the statements of both
pnrtiVs. and we ask the tax-payers who
re required. to pay tkis. $200 extra to re
member this fact.

Fo2 Gr.nt. The Statesman and Cor
vallls Gazette have proclaimed themselves
In favor of tbe re-nomination of U. S.
Grant for the next Presidency. For the
benefit of an easy triumph of the Demo
cracy, we hope he may be nominated.
The recent elections, however, will have
a tendency to shelve the failure. The
Badicalsvill hardly dare to place him be
fore Ihe people. They will profit by tbe
lesson taught tbrm in the verdict of con
demnation which the people have so uni
versally rendered.
Gone to Washington. Hon. J.S. Smith
left Portland for Washington lastMondsiy,

Q
kress. w
Election Eeturns-
It is somewhat remarkable that after
the expiration of ten. days we have been
unable to learn anything definite in rela
tion to the late elections. It is evident
that the Democracy have made grand and
important gains tn all the States, and that
the loyal telegraph ha3 refused to give us
the result. As far as we can learn, the"
Democracy have gained at least four Sen
ators and about twenty eight Congress
men in the November elections, making
an aetnal difference between th two par
ties of fifty-fix votes in the next House.
We are not disposed to claim too much,
and are satisfied with what the following
returns indicate, yet we would not be sur
prised if the final count will be more grat
ifying than this. The Democracy have
reason to rejoice at thi3 result, and there
i3 nothing surer than an overwhelming
victory in 1S72. We shall probably have
further returns by next week; iu the mean
time, the following-is good enough to
make every Democrat happy. Never was
there aieh a complete, revolution iu poli
cies, and the Radicals must see the hand
writing of defeat on the wall. Let Demo
crats taka courage and be of good cheer.
The victor will surely be achieved in
1872 which shall drive lrom power the
fanatical crew which has nearly destroyed
our whole country.

Missouri elects Brown as Govenor. The
Democrats carry several Congressional

Kentucky is likely to elect one and
possibly two Republican Congressmen.
Our late reports state that Alabama has
gone Democratic, and elects three mem

mation. In Nevada the probability is that the
entire State Democratic ticket is elected.
There is some iltmht in retrard to the Clerk
of the Supreme Court. ; Helm, the Repub-
lican candidate, may be elected. Between
Fiu-h aud Kendall for Congress- the vote
is close. The probability is that Kendall is
elected by a small majority.
Go Slow.-
The Radical papers in this State seem to
be tenibly exercised in regard to the in-
crease of the salary of certain officers by
the last Legislature. We do not exactly
know what the amount is that these sal
aries all sum up to. but it is not to exceed
$5,003 per annum. As we have stated
before, the Legislature appropriated for
the expenses of the last two aud the en-
two years, about $392,C00. The
amount received in the Treasury for the
past two years nearly equals the amount
appropriated for four years" expenses. Is
will be observed by this, that the increase
of these salaries will not affect anything,
and if the affairs are honestly administered,
after the debt which was left by the Re
publican party is paid off, and taking out
$50,003 for building the Penitentiary, it
will be ascertained two years hence thai
there is a balance in the State Treasury.
The howl at present is before any one is
hurt, and we would advise our Radical
j e..
go slow,-' and wait until they
have something to growl about
Paying
legitimate salaries will never cause the
administration of State affairs there will
, ,
be a vcrv nottabllJ change for the bet
ter, and that there will either be some
money on hand to commence erecting
public buildings, or the State taxes will
be materially reduced. We are sure that
the State, will not be found in debt at the
end cf the next four years, and that is
more than the Radicals can sayit was
when they turned it over to the Demo
cracy. They took the State Government
with over $40,000 cash in the Treasury,
and left it fully that amount in debt, and
have nothing to show for all the money
they have received.
The Oregonian, in counseling Radical
candidates defeated to contest for' their
seals, says :
We never were very clear as to how
these things should be done till the Demo
cratic majority in the Oregon Legislature
showed bs the way. Taking their rule
for if, there is no question but Judge Wil
so: of this State ought to have the seat to
w hich one Slater claims to be elected, lie
houId go to Washington next winter and
get it.
We always supposed the editor of Hie
Oregonian to be obtuse and dull, but
never supposed that he was so slow in
learning. The idea of a Radical not know
ing how members are ousted from their
seats is indeed very refreshing, after he
has had the example of the present Con
gress before him. No matter by what
majorities the Democrats were elected to
the present Congress, whenever a Radical
appeared to contest the seat of the suc
cessful member, he was ousted and ihe
Radical given the seat. It is amusing to
hear a Radical editor say he didn't know
how these things were done. Does not
this astute Radical remember the action
of his party in the Grant counfy contest
four years ago? The idea of a Radical
waiting to take a bad example from the
Democracy is really a happy as well as
an amusing thought.
Sick. Hon. John Ostrander, from Linn

Tours. Nov. 12. Over 1.703 Prussian
prisoners, captured at Orleans, pr.ssed
through the city to-day, on their way to
the south of France. Great excitement
prevailed, and it was with difficulty that
rio's were prevented. The prisoners were
hooted at amriasulted. but by the efforts
of the greater part of the crowd violent
excesses were prevented.
London, Nov. 12. A special dispatch
irom Tours has the following details ol the
victory of D'Aureitis over Von Der Tann,
not yet published: The engagement com
menced both east-and west of Orleans, on
the 5th. and was continued until the eve
ning of Thursday. During Thursday the
1'iench drove the Prussian from Orleans,
inflicting a severe loss on them, and are
now in occupation of the city. Gen. Yon
Der Tann. with the remnant of his army,
is now retreating on the roid leading from
Orleans to Pitheviers. after vainly endeav
oring to force his w-ay through Chateau
Neuf and Mon'argis, where he hoped to
join the ainiy of Prince Fredrick Charles.
Gen. D' Aurellis has a force of 50.000 men
on the north bank of the Loire, and 70.000
on the south bank. Tbe destruction of the
roads and bridges between Commercy aud
Orleans prevented the advance of the army
under Prince Fredrick Charles.: I In had
about 72,000 men. a great part of w hom are
probably north of Marine. After having
disposed of the remnant of Yon Der Tann's
army, D Aureltis w ill march directly on
Paris and assail the German lines between
Versailles and St. German, while Trochu
makes a sortie with 150.000 men to tut his
way out and raise the siege. Communica
tion between D'Aureliis and Trochu and
the .Goverment at Tours is constantly
maintained by carrier pigeons.
A dispatch from Rouen yesterday says,
a force of 50,000 Prussians, well supplied
with cannon, entered Bonners that day
but were driven out. 'with loss, by the
Garde Mobile Franco Tireurs.
London, Nov. 12. A special to the
World from Tours .to-day says tbe whole
loss of Bavarians in the battle of (he 9th
and 10th was 3,140 men killed, wounded
and prisoners. Yon Der Tann's effective
force on the morning of the 11th ws esti
mated at 20,003. He was then at Toury,
twenty-five miles north of Orleans, where
he was joined by Gen. Whittich and Prince
Fredrick Charles, who. with one division
of infantry and one of cavalry. 12.000 men
strong, marched from Charlies to his aid.
On thv evening of the 11th he was further
reinforced by the Duke of Mecklenburg's
corps, composed of 23.000 men. This gives
tbe Germans at Toury a force of 50,000.
Gen.D'Aureltis employed in all engage
ments up to the 9th and 10ih a force of
74.000 men. To-day he has not brought
the same force into actiou, but will bring
up 100,000 strong, holding 50,000 in r
berve. Ho intends to attack the Germans
at Toury today or Sunday. The French
army is elated at its victory, and anxious
for an attack. I he (.ovei ment at Tours
believes Prince Frederick Charles is ad
vancing fron Commercy. and will not be.
able to effect his junction with Yon Der
Tann before the 15th. The French have
concentrated a large force at Bauvais aud
Gisors. their line extending as far as Lts
andertis, Lyons and La Forel. They are
well provided with artillery. A batlfe
will probably occur on the banks ol the
Epte. near Gournay, in Bray or Grisors.
London, Nor. 12. The whole tide of
popular feeling now in Engh n 1 is iu n'ng
strongly in favor of the French. The
Times, feeling this influence, has changed
its tone and urged Germany 'o make puace
and withdraw from France, while she may
do so with safety. -
London. Nov. 12. Zi Situation today
says Gambetta is engaged in an intrigue
Tor the restoration of the Orleans dynasty,
'fhe scheme is for the Corps I egislutif to
assemble at Tours, and compel by intimi
dation and pressure of cirenmstitnees. the
ratification of all that has been done since
the 4th of September, and show (he in
ducement there is to do away with the
Republic and accept the services of the
Orleans Princes. A German princes? is;
interested in the intrigue, although Bis
rnark remain faithful to the idea of resto
ration of the empire. The presence of
Theirs at Tours, and the continued confer
ence between him and Gambetta, give ad
ditional color to this report.
London, Nov. IS. The Russian Minister
here read to lord Granville a leUer from
Prince Gortschakoff. stating (hat Russia
now demands a modification of the pro
visions signed in Paris on the 30th of
March, 1BG5, of articles 11th and 13th in
(he treaty of Paris on the 27 (h of April.
1850. These provisions forbid the Russian
fleet entering the Dardenel's from the
Black Sea. and limit the -Russian fleet in
the Black Sea to ten small steamers.
They also prohibit Russia and Turkey
from maintaining on the Black Sea coast
anv military or marine arsenal, and gen
erally neutralize the Black Sea by inter
diction from its waters of any yessels of
war bcloging to powers pos-evsing its coast
or any other. This declaration on the
part of Russia being simnltrtiieously made
in London by the cabinets at Constantino
ple. Yienna and Berlin, is believed hereto
indicate Russia's rediness to insist on The
recognition of her claims by force.
Official journals at .Constantinople say
the Sublime Porte is now able Jo resist
any attack ; that it has COO. 000 armed men
anil twelve armed frigates.
Advices from Yersailles to day state
that Mo'.tke has ordered an additional
force to be sent to Toury. to prevent an
other disaster:
An attack"by the army of the Loire is
expected.

En. Entkupkisk : I notice a short squib
in the Adcacate of (he 1 2th inst.. over the
a: nature of James Dickson. M. D., of
Portland, seemingly questioning the-ability
of other physicians to judge correctly
of an epidemic, varioloid, now prevalent
in Portland and other localities in this
State. Though not disposed to pay much
attention to such articles, as they ere de
signed for other purposes than that of im
parting instruction, I feel constrained to
inquire of the Doctor if his patient may
not be afflicted with itch, instead of small
pox, as he makes use of the terms Achine,
Boseace and Lichen. Perhaps the Doc
tor may not be aware that these terms are
usually applied to different forms of itch,
as observed by intelligent physicians.
