" ;lorious Ieinocritic Triumphs.
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

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.

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.

to the South, but because it has

combinations of capital against labor.
There has not been a single fraud
concocted against the interest of the
laboring classes which has not found

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

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

The Argus (Dem.) claims every thing.
They cannot, however, give the fig

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

likely the State Senator.

No definite returns have been re

It is claimed that the city lias gone
Tammany Democratic by 15,000 to

doubt that the State has gone Demo

election of S. S. Cox to Congress is
conceded. Returns from Brooklyn
indicate that the Democratic candi

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
