We hope the result of The Senatorial
election 10 Tennessee, will learn those
Democrats in Mississippi, who have made
themselves collar men. some seEse. We
would moi give button for The Democra-
CIV of any man who loves Office more than
principle. The sneaking wretch who
would seek alliances with his political OPP
ponents, merely to carry out his personal
spleen. or wishes, should be kicked out OF
any and all parties, as unworthy of con-
fidence. and wholly disqualified to per
form the social relations Of life. All de-
rnocrals should hold themselves prepared
TO sustain the nominee of party regardless
Of all other considerations. Rip. AdU'er

FLORIDA ELEcl ION. = The following
paragraph explains the result of the Flo
rida election, and upon what ground
Mr.. Cabell, the wing candidate, claims a
seat IN Congress. As each branch OF
Congress is empowered to Judge of the
election returns and qualifications of lis
own MEMBERS" we presume Mr.. CabelI'~
" certificate" will be of little avail, and
that Mr.. Brockenbrough Will be recogniz-
ed as the representative elect:
TALLAHASSEE, November ID.
We learn Mr. CabelI has demanded oil
the Executive officers and received his GER
tIfcate as Representative in Congress
elect from this State, founded upon the
partial returns which had been received
up TO the 9th instant, within which time
the State law declares the election mana.
gers shall make their returns. Will he
venture to take his seat? We hope no
for his own reputation-we trust not, nav
We have confidence that he will not. lie
well knows that MIR. Brockenbrough i.
elected. The wings here know it. Tbey
know, for they have received letters from
wings al Key West, giving Brockenbrongt
majority of 80 in Monroe, and in Hills
borough %, and in St. Lucie s. Where
as, Mr.. Cabell claims, exclusive of these
votes, but 81 majority. So, too, the fol
return from Washington, and Columbia
and Walton, and Calhoun, were not made
by the 9th instant. They would have in
creased Mr.. BIS majority 10 about 20
Some of the DELAYED official returns, anC
enough to give Mr.. B. majority, hav,
been received by the Secretary, since III,
certifcate was issued, and Mr.. B. vii
claim his seat, and if Mr.. c. attempts Il
resist the expressed will Of the people, be
cause of the neglect of inspectors of cleo
ton, he vii. meet with deserved rebuke
The rabid wings, we learn, insist on hi
doing so. Some say he should resign, auC
hope TO have a new election. Whelhe
he persists or resigns, Mr.. B. will be ad
mitted by the House of Representatives
and be acknowledged as the people,
choice. FIOridiaH.

N,wor,r.Ns Bu1rrIN.-We have fire.

! NEw-ORLEANs BULLTIN.-We have ire
quently observed with pleasure the bold
and manly course of this valuable paper,
on all questions in which our national
rights. honor, and greatness are concerned.
No nress in the Union rendered more eff
Gent service in securing the remuneration
of Texas-placing that great question, as it
tdid. far above its influence on particular
sections, as a great national measure. II
we except that the Bulletin is somewhat
antiquated and contracted in its tariff no.
tions-an advocate of the protective "terra-
pin policy''-t is in all respects most
worthy organ of the mercantile interest OF
the great mart at which it is located. We
make the following extract from an article
on our Foreign affairs, in late number of
the Bulletin;
8 Our right to Oregon, we believe all will
admit, is at least as unquestionable' as
that of Great Britain, and if California is
destined to be an ''appendage" to Oregon,
there cannot be two opinions as to whose
hands both OF them must fall. The plot
thickens apace. The question of National
Supremacy hangs on the dominion of the
Western coast of America, and consequent
possession of the trade of the Pacific and
countries beyond. The American doctrine,
then, is plain enough When the posses
sion o! California passes out of the hands
of Mexico, it must pass into the hands Of
the United States, at whatever COST"

HARRISBURG, Feb. !

HARRISBURG, Feb. I.
Among other projects Of speculation, every
winter, is that of offorming new counties. A mum,

week praying for the erection OF a new county
out of parts of Lycoming, Northumberland, Uri.
on and Columbia counties, to be called Brady, as
the petitions say, sin honor Of Capt. John Bra
dy, who was slain by the Indians during the Re.
volutionary War, within the limits of the pro.
posed county" We have no objections, what.
ever, to raise a monument to the heroic virtues
of Capt, Brady but we do object to giving away
handsome slice of our already too much mutila.
ted county, for that purpose. The petitions, of
course, urge the old complaint in all such cases,
that is the difficulty of obtaining Justice a. our
Courts, which objection certainly does not apply
TO onr county. In the proposed location they
begin at a corner of Bradfoid d and Tioga counties,
and then continue southerly course through
Clinton and Lycoming, thence east along the Ly-
coming and Union line, thence by a straight line
10 the corner of Turbut and Delaware townships,
in Northumberland county, on the east side
of the Susquehanna, thence by the line of Della
ware and Tnrbut townships TO the line OF Colum.

straight line TO fallen pine, corner of Lycoming

Hills, being also corner Of Madison and Green.

There is but little danger Of any such county be-.
ing established, as there certainly is no necessity
for such measure, and the Legislature is but
little inclined 10 grant new counties The pet-
tions are, we believe, signed principally by cit-
zens Of the lower end of Lycomng county.

INs4SIrY IN NEw JERsEY.-In 1910, there

much larger, From that part of Miss Dx's re.

count ofthe Jails and Poor Houses in the coun.
ties of Salem Cumberland, Gloucester, Burlins.

these counties there are sixty insane persons.
Some of these insane persons have been a cause
of vast expense; for instance, in the Salem Poor
House. there is one who has been crazy seven.
teen years, and another nearly thirty years. One
of these has been out of his small apartments hat
ten times in more than nineteen years. He has
been chained by the leg more than twenty years

Modern Snpersttion-The Goat OF Christi

1t is not generally known by our readers, that
there is, at this moment exhibited in Germany
piece of cloth which il is pretended is the ver.
table seamless garment which Christ wore
when going to be crucifed. The impo.ture is
practiced by the Roman Catholic Bishop and
Priests of Treves, and has excited the indignant
remonstrances, not only of Protestants but Of
many intelligent Catholics in Europe. The ex.
tent to which the credulity of the ignorant mass
of the people is wrought upon would not be ere.
dibe without the abundant testimony coming
from various quarters. Treves has been visited
by upwards of one million Of persons, since the
18th of August, 1914, for the purpose of seeing
the coat. The credulous are made believe that
by their touching the sacred cloth, it will re.
move all diseases from the body y,-that it will re.
store the blind to their eyesight, and aghten
the limbs Of cripples The coat is represented
to be of a reddish brown color, stretched out fiat
