The elections in the East last week are such a complete triumph that every Democrat m iSt feel rejoiced o t tlifi result. In everv State where Elections vera. held, the Deniocracy have gained a complete victory, with the exception of Massrchesetts and Minnesota. New York, which pave a majority of 50,000 for Gov. Dix last year has given a Democratic majority of 20,- 000 to 25,000, and this was while the entire machinery of the city govern ment of New York was under the control of the Radicals. This result places New York in the column for tire Democracy hereafter. The vic tory in this State was gained over a set of renegade t.id treacherous Democrats as well as the open ene- my the ltailicals. In Massachusetts we have made remarkable gains, having reduced the Radical majority on the State ticket to ahwut 10,000 which has ,never been less than 2i,00, and electing a larger proportion of Dem- O ocrats to both branches of the Leg islature than there has been for years past. The prospects for a Democrat ic victory in 1870 are even favorable in this heretofore Radical strong hold. Maryland as usual has proven her self trne to her past record, tind has rolled up the unprecedented majori ty Of 20,000. New Jersey lias elected the anti monopoly ticket which must mean the Democratic ticket. Virginia comes up to the front with from 20,000 to 40,000 majority on the State ticket, and elects her Democratic Legislature, over two thirds majority. Thi-i is a glorious result iri the old Dominion. Mississippi elects Ames for Gov ernor, and as the fight was between himself and another carpet-bagger, who-was endorsed bv the Adminis- tration, we can onlv i-suum this as a success against the "Washington dy nasty. O 1 Rut. one nf the n-iinVs t and most complete revolutions was made in Wisconsin, fore given This State has hereto- en from 20,000 to 2o,000 majority. It now gives the Radical Democratic and Reform ticket 15, 000 majority, and this is against the most popular man the Radicals had in the State "Washburn. Roth houses of the Legislature are also Democratic. In Illinois the Radicals are com cpletely routed, and the Democrats have the State. In Michigan there v. as only a spe cial election for Congressman. We got away with the Radical candidate and elected the Democrat. In Minnesota the Radical majority is greatly reduced, and ere another election occurs, she will fall into rank with her sister States of the "West. This result is enough to cheer every true patriot and shows that the Democracy, which has been pronounced dead by our opponents to-day, is the controlling party of the ration. The corruption, ineompo tency -and treachery and rascality of the Radical party has done its work and the people will again seek relief of the old partv which has in vears passed brought prosperity and hap piness to our great nation.' Tiie result of the Full campaign sums up as follows: "We have gain ed everywhere, and have carried the States of New York, Virginia, Mary land, Ohio, Illinois, California, Or egon, "Wisconsin, and one branch of the Legislature, of Iowa. This is but a forerunner of what is to come in 1870, when the second centurv of the Republic will he inaugurated bv Gthe restoration of the Government into the care of the Democracy. O This is glory enough in one year, and we feel like ottering three heart v cheers for every Stato which has thrown oil the yoke ci" Radicalism. Let Democrats everwhere rejoice at this glorious result, aid look for the bright and prosperous future which, awaits the party, and r rosnoritv nn.i i success of our natio-. when once agflin restored into the hands of true, honest and patriotic statesmen. The time is f ist approaching, and the dissolution of the p;oty which is now held together by corrupting and belf-interests is near at, hand. Ilartical Wrath ami Ulaxpheinj . The Ottumwa, Iowa, Dewx nty says that the Monops in that State swpar like devils since the election, and try to make themselves as disa greeable and nasty as possible. One good Republican telegraphs to the Register from A del, that " the" ticket ha gone to the devil." Another, from Winterest, says, "the devil is in the people this year." It may seem rather hard to the Monops this time, but if they want to see fun let them curtail their whisky Rations and try to live until next election. "Won't we warm it up to them then? They will not then hae hard enough words in their vocabulary to express their feelings on the subject. Gov-eleet Wni. Allen, of Ohio is the uncle of Allen G. T hurman, who will be re-elected to the U. S. Sen ate asa result of the late Democratic victory in that State-. O Kditorial Notes. The Albany Democrat of the 7th, reached us on the 11th Friday. "What is the trouble in the mails? The official vote as published in to-day's paper shows that .Col. Nes mith has 2,071 majoritv over Hiram. That's rather bad for Hi. The Vicksburg Herald states, on the authority of the officers of the steamer Gladiola, that every inhab itant of the town of Brennerville, on the Red river, have died of yellow fever. Some of our tariff exchanges, says the New Y'ork Herald, call upon the people to rally for the protection of American industry. The cry should be " to the oppression of American, labor." The yellow fever broke out in Memphis on the ICth day of Septem ber and the number of deaths from that cause between that time and the 22d day of October was one thou sand and four. The Tim ton Democrat is after the Gazette in hot style, and shows that the latter is a most unmerciful and nrtfnl falsifier. No wonder the Ga zette is trying to throw the responsi bility of the last Legislature on the Democrats. It's enough to damn anv party, and the Radical party is responsible for it. A upw Odd Fellows paper is to be started on the 1st of January next, in San Francisco, by Joseph Winter ton, and under the editorial control of Mr. AtLee Young, formerly of the Age. It is backed by the most prominent members of the order of California. Subscription $3 per an num. "Mr. J. M. Raeon, of this city is making up a club for it. The California Legislature stands Democratic, 42; Independents, 41; Radicals, .77. One half of th Inde pendents are Democrats, which com bined with the regularly elected Democrats, will give them the U.S. Senator! Rooth's chances are daily on the decrease, and we have every reason to expect that a true anti monopoly Democrat will be elected. The Radical papers of late have liad nothing to say about the great re duction of the National debt. There has been such systematic lying done in this matter for the past six or eight years, that it is now actually necessary to tell part truth. The last few months the Radical officials have been forced to tell the fact that each month the Government is more and more in debt. The Democrats in the Eastern States have evidently had a revival this fall, if we are allowed to judge from the election returns published in to-day's paper. Rather good for a party which has been pronounced so emphatically dead for the past twelve years. It will keep up its line of successes until 187 when a true Democrat Avill be elected Pres ident. The Radical papers of this State, nearlv all of them, contain a three and half column of advertisement from Postmaster General Cresswell, and the Democratic papers of the State have not found any fault at this discrimination in their favor, and the Radical organs have not con sidered it an outrage in not being compelled to divide such fat takes. It is remarkably strange! The finances of our Government appear to be in rather an ugly con dition, and the reserve is called on. U. S. Treasurer Spinner, in his thirteenth annual report, says the falling ofF in receipts for the past year from customs amounts to $27, 2w0,704, and from internal revenue S 10, 'J 12, 781, while the expenditures are largely in excess of previous years. The Treasurer descants on the monetary troubles, and favors as a remedy the issue of reserve legal tenders." Our Radical friend of the States man considers it very small in Gov. G rover for removing Dr. J. A. Chap man from his staff, as Surgeon Gen eral. Well, if the Doctor had exer cised a little discretion and common sense, he would have resigned and not compelled the Governor to re move him. When he betrayed the Democratic party he had no right to expect to hold a position under the Governor either of honor or of profit. The Governor did right. The Relief Committee at Memphis, of the I.

These Clearly Defined Doctrines. The Albany Argus defines the prin ciples of Democracy as follows: The Democracy believe that Constitu tions should be strictly construed, and strictly and religiously protect ed and sustained at the hazard of property and life itself. They hold that Constitutions should distinctly" provide for the protection of man, his person, character and property against aggression of every possible kind. That the Legislative, Judi cial and Executive Departments should perform their respective du ties as distinct from each other as from other Governments. The laws should be as few in number as pos sible, and only for purposes to pro vide the necessary means of carrying on the Government and educating the young, and no more; and for j the punishment of those committing aggressions upon the persons and i right of others and upon the Gov ernment, and to punish those guilty J of either. That no laws should be passed which in tlieir practical ap plication shall give special advan tage to one section of the country, or one class of men, over others; or to make one portion of the peojde subordinate to another, or to yield them a share of their earnings. That all special legislation is unequal and unjust, and should not be tolerated. That beyond the laws absolutely nec essary for the above purposes every man should be left perfectly free to pursue happiness in his own way wliile he does not violate the laws or trespass on the rights of others. If he chooses to hunt, fish or fiddle, drive fast horses or slow ones, wear long hair anil heard, or shave both, let him. If he gripes or spends his money he only enjoys his rightful privilige. If he prefers to wear his old garments or play the dandy, or to compress large feet into small shoes, no law should prevent him. The same things do not make all men happy or miserable. It is the inalienabU right of mankind to seek happiness where they can find it, and governments have no more right to attempt to legislate them into it than to enact laws to guide them to Heaven. An I in x;r( a tit Ma iter. Ry a dispatch from Washington, we learn that the opinion of Judge Sawyer in relation to the rights of purchasers of land in Oregon where the party selling the same had not received the patent at the time of sale, has been confirmed, in the case of Lamb vs. Davenport, and it was held by the Supreme Court that con- tracts made oy actual settlers on public lands concerning their pos sessory title, and concerning title to be acquired in future from the Uni ted States, are valid as between the parties to the contracts, though there be at the time no act of Congress by which title may be acquired, and though Government is under no ob ligations to either of the parties in regard to title unless they are for bidden by some positive law. The provision of the Oregon Donation Act, of IS."') which forbids the fu ture sale of settlers interest until a patent shall issue, so far from in validating such contracts made be fore its passage, raises a strong im plication in favor of their validity. Whether husband or wife who takes as survivor the share of deceased, under the Donation Act, takes as purchaser or by inheritance, it is held that contracts of the husband concerning equitable interest in the part allotted to him made before the Donation act was passed, are bind ing on the title, which comes to his children by reason of patent issued after the death of both husband and wife. The decree is affirmed. Jus tice Miller delivered the opinion. Wheat DtinciENCiKS. The best authorities estimate the deficiencies in the wheat supply of foreign coun tries as follows: England 02,000,000 bushels; France 82,000,000; other European countries 50,000,000 bush els; total 221,000,000 bushels. The principal wheat exporting countries in past years, have been the follow ing: Russia, the United States. Ger many, France. Turkey, Rritish North America, Chili and Egypt. This year, however, France and Germany, instead of exporting, will probably have to import 100,000.000 bushels for their own consumption. A Washington special says: The estimates for the Indian service are ?, 725, 000, an increase over last xesiv of 61,272,000. The total increase in the estimates of the Interior De partment, including the above In dian service, is 1,800,000, or about 8000,000 increase for the entire De partment outside of the Indian Ru reau. The estimates of the Depart ment of Justice are about the same as last year, as near as can bo ascer tained from the figures already pre pared. The total estimates from all Departments will exceed those of last year by about five per cent. Graxtism. General D. H. Hill says, in the columns of the South ern Home: We have opposed Grant ism, not merely because of its hatred to the South, but because it has never failed to support moneyed inonoplies, railroad swindles, ami all combinations of capital against labor. There has not been a single fraud concocted against the interest of the laboring classes which has not found a friend in the Administration. IIaxdsomk. Mr. A.

This was a generous girt to a deserving ob- Two dead bodies were Lron-'ht nn j the OriilamiTie this week for the Salem Medical School from San Francisco. An Opinion of Kraut and Richardson. A correspondent of the San Fran cisco Examiner, writing under date of New York, October 23d, gives the following opinion of Grant and Rich ardson, in ft financial view, as ex pressed by Wall Street business men: "What do you think of President Grant's financial views?" I ventured to ask a Wall street man, yesterday. "Grant's views! Grant's an ass! Now this is what may be called positively shameful. To speak of the head'of the Government in this way is the very acme of irreverent disloyalty; yet 'those Wall street fel lows "think iio more of calling Gen. Grant an ass than they do of giving "points" to their best friends with a view to"sticking" them. I have heard several of them talking about Grant and Richardson the past few days, and not one word to say that wasn't scandalously disrespectful. Said the one who gratuitously called our gifted Executive an ass: "Why," said he, "the man doesn't know what he is talking about," referring to Gen. Grant's views about resumption etc., in his talk with the agent of the Associated Press. "He thinks he is saying something sensible, but what he does say is a medley of pure non sense. He talks about resuming spe cie pa3-ments, and in the same breath saj's he would increase the amount of currency we already have. That would only start the balloon business once more, and put resumption fur ther off than ever. A month ago he was totally opposed to issuing any of the $44,000,000 reserve, and now' he is in favor of it. Gen. Grant is out of his element altogether when he talkes about finance. The thing is too deep for him, and he had better quit at once." Another Wall street man expressed the opinion that Grant "knows a darned sight more about horses than he does about fin ancial matters," and that Richard son "ain't big enough" for the "Treasury." "If we had the right sort of men there," this one said, "we'd have been over our troubles the first week." Such is the general estimate, somewhat roughly express ed, of the financial management at Washington, and the capacity of the managers. And it is eurious that many of the iuon who talk this way were strongly opposed to the election of Mr. Greeley, on the ground that it would upset the financial system, and cause all sorts of trouble, while the re-election of Grant would keep every thing regular and steady. Rut they don't hold that view anymore. On the contrary, they have come to the conclusion that (J rant's ability to steady tilings is about five thou sand per cent, below the timatu. on; rinal es r. -V Heroine. A A few weeks ago, says the Lami mark, a fair young girl yet in her teens, frail of form, shy, pure, inno cent and unused to contact with the rugged world outside her native vil lage, heard the wail that came up from stricken, suffering Memphis, and quietly and secret iy for fear of detention left her pleasant home in the town of Towanda, Illinois, and paying her own faro upon the rail roads and without a change of cloth ing even, went straight to the plague stricken city. There she tendered her services as a nurse for the sick and dyirg, and, brave of heart and grand in her consecration, entered at once upon the fearful duties from which strong men shrunk and tied. For days and weeks, like an angel of mercy, she hovered about the bed side of the dying, poor rich alike, wherever duty called. She had a mission to perform and that mission led her to the threshold of death, but she never faltered but marched right in bravely, aye more bravely than the Six Hundred charged into the valley of death at Rakalava. Rut she bore no charmed life, angel as she was, and one day the deadly pestilence turned grimly upon her and she, too, died. It may have been that midst the surging fevers that consumed her fancies turned to the quiet, peaceful home away up in Illinois, where father, mother, brothers and sisters and friends awaited her coming and mingled her name in the orisons they sent to Heaven. She may have" tenderly thought of a lover and dreamed one moment only of the bliss in the fix ture she had put so far behind her. No one can tell what memories peo pled the brain of the. poor brave girl that lay a-dying at Memphis but she uttered no regrets, and died in the bloom of her youth, a martyr to duty and to human sympathy. Rrave, noble girl I Here is heroine the like of which the world has rare ly seen. Did she die friendless and alone? No. All of the world that is pure and noble and generous and brave was and is her friend; nay, more than friend it bows to her with a loving reverence and salutes her as angel of light and love. Liv ing she discharged her duty dying she compassed immortality. All there is of human love and sympathy in the world claims kinship with the brave little girl who died at Mem phis, and the Memphians, even in the midst of their woes, have time to ba grateful and above her sleeping dust will raise a white shaft, typical of the spotless purity of her life, to commemorate the virtues, the hero ism and the martyrdom of MATTIE STEPHENSON. In soma of the Western States when a whiskey soaked, earpet-bag, thieving Republican wishes to make another raise he sprinkles hay seed in his hair, sleeps on a pile of new mown hay and reports himself a farmer.

The Eastern Elections. XEW TORK. Albaxy (N. Y.), November 4. The Argus (Dem.) claims every thing. They cannot, however, give the fig ures on the Senate and Assembly but feel sure of a majority. The Radicals of this city concede the State on the entire ticket to be 20, 000 Democratic majority. Albany county will give 2,500 Democratic majority. Rochester (N. Y.) November 4. The returns at 7 p. m. indicate that the Democrats have carried the city by a large majority, with a large Democratic gain. Buffalo (N. Y.) November 4 12 o'clock. A rough estimate gives the county and State ticket to the Radi cals by 4,000 majority. The Demo crats will elect their Mayor and very likely the State Senator. New Ycrk, November 5 1:25 a. m. No definite returns have been re ceived from some parts of the city. It is claimed that the city lias gone Tammany Democratic by 15,000 to 20,000 majority. There is not much doubt that the State has gone Demo cratic by several thousand. The election of S. S. Cox to Congress is conceded. Returns from Brooklyn indicate that the Democratic candi date for Mayor is elected, and the Democratic majority in that city for Secretary of State will probably reach 5,000. New York, Nov. 0. Full returns of this city on the State ticket give Weller, (Dem.) for Secretary of State, OOJOS, and Thayer (Eep.) '55- 007. Returns lrom the State are far from complete, but enough have been received to show the Democratic State ticket is elected by a majoritv of 10,000. lhe returns received so far on Secretary of State give a ma jority to Weller 10,470, with the chances of an increase. The Legis lature is undoubtedly Republican. The latest returns indicate the elec tion of the seventeen Republican Senators and fifteen Democrats, with two doubtful districts conceded to the Republicans. Should these two return Democrats the new Senate will be Democratic by one majority. The present, estimate of the next As sembly makes it consist of eighty nine Republicans, fifty-three Demo crats, and one Independent, an appa rent Republican majority of twenty seven. MASSAC'IfrSETTS. Boston- November 4 Scattering returns- from various points through out the State show a light vote com pared with 1H71, indicating the re election of Washburne (liad.) bv 8.000 to 10,000 majority. The re turns for Governor in 02 townships give Washburn 11,8;5 and Gaston (Dem.) 7,005. Boston, Nov. 0.

B riTMoiu:, November 7.--The of ficial and unofficial returns from all tins counties, except one, indicate the following as the complexion of the Legislature: House. Democrats. 02; Republicans, 2'2. The Demo cratic majority on joint ballot is 01. Woodford, for Comptroller, lias a majority in the State of 20,000 votes. XEW JKKSEY. Tkknton (N. J.), November 4. The Democrats elected tlieir Assem blyman in Mercer county. Both parties claim the Sheriff". Nothing but the official vote can decide it. Monmouth county has elected two Democratic ami one Radical Assem blyman. Middlesex county elected throe Radical members of the As sembly and the Senator. Hunter don county elects a Democratic Sen ator and three Radical Assembly men. The anti-monopoly ticket is victorious in every county except ?ilidulesex. Tkknton, Nov. 0. Full returns of the election from the State show that the next Legislature will stand thus: Senate, Republicans, 14; Democrats, 15. Assembly, Republicans, '.V.; Democrats 2S. Last year the As sembly stood Democrats, 15; Repub licans, 14; Independent, 1. The Democrats this morning claim the election of Fulton for Sheriff. vinoixiv. RrciiMoxi), Ya., November 5th. 12:55 a. M. The State has gone for Kemper from 20.000 to 40,000. Prom inent Radical office holders concede in a high majority. The Legisla ture is over two-thirds Conservative on joint ballot. The vote is a full one, and quietness prevails as far as I heard lrom. MTSS1SSI1TI. Jackson, Miss., November 4th. But little interest was shown in the election to-day. From all quarters the vote is reported one-third short. The falling oil" from Jackson was from five to six hundred. Ames' majority in the city was o00, which is small. Independent candidates for county offices were numerous. There was much delay in counting votes. Jackson-, Miss., Nov. 5. It is generally believed that Ames has carried the State by 15,000 majority. ARKANSAS. Little Rock, (Ark.), November 4th. The election passed offqnietly. The returns indicate that the Radi cal State ticket is elected. WISCONSIN. Milewaykee, November 4. This city complete gives Taylor, Demo cratic candidate for Governor, G,o00 majority. The county is estimated to give him HO0. All the Democrat ic Assemblymen in the county arc elected. The Dailif Sentinel, the AVashburn organ, estimates, from the way the returns are coming in, that Taylor will carry the State by 5,000 majori ty. Prominent Radicals now con cede Washburn's defeat. Madison, November 7. The Re form majority still contiuues to roll up. The lists heard from of Tay lor's majority will make it reach 15, 000. The Reformers have a majority in the Assembly of 15, and have also carried the Senate by one or two ma jority. The Reformers propose to hold a jollification on Saturday. MICHIGAN. Letroit, November, 4. MofiV has been elected by probably 1,000 majority. The rest of the city ticket is part Radical and part Democratic. The Radicals have a majority of one or two in the City Council. "Meagre returns from the special election in the Fifth Congressional District leave the matter in doubt. The cities of Grand Haven, Ionia, and Holland, and fifteen towns, give Williams Radical, a majority of 200. Detroit, November, G. The Grand Rapids Eagle figures Wil liams' majority at 30, with five towns in Muskegon County, three towns in Allegan county and one in Kent; county to hear from. Th Democrat figures Comstock's majority at 31, with seven towns in Muskegon coun tv, three in Allegan county and one in Cent county to hear from. MINNESOTA. St. rAi:L, Minn., Nov. 4. Returns so far are meagre, but the indica tions all point to the election of the entire Radical State ticket. Davis, Radical, for Governor, is running far ahead of his ticket. There has been a great deal of scratching. Re turns from this city will not be in until a very late hour, on account of scratched ballots. There will be a considerable change in the Legisla ture. KANSAS. Torr.KA, November G. Returns from eight districts stand: 38 Regu lar Republicans. 33 Farmers, and I) Independents. The other 20 dis tricts will probably elect 15 Repub licans and 5 Grangers. The Senate holds over, and the Republicans have a majority in that body of 25. Tclcgaphic "civs. Chicago, Nov. 7.
