For Pierce AGAIN


In 1852 Pierce had Il, $50 votes in Massachusetts,
this year Bishop, the administration candidate for
Governor has only l3 1876, which makes an addition
al los for Pierce of $685. thus swelling his entire
loss up to amost half million votes.
The Congressional elections show a result equally
disastrous. In sixteen States 127 members of the
next Congress nove been chosen. One hundred and
nine Of these are opposed to the administration. In
tie present Congress the administration has ninety
five members from the same States; now it has but
thirty showing change aganst the administra-
tion Of one hundred and twenty nine.
The following table shows where tn, changes have
taken place:

From the N. Y. Courier, 18th.
Louis Napoleon retracts, and Mr.. Soule is
free of the soil of France. We have receiv-
ed official intelligence by telegraphic despatch
to Liverpool dated London, Nov. Sd, Ii o.
clock, P. NJ. announcing that ''the Emperor
Napoleon has rescinded his order prohibiting
Mr.. Soule's passing through France, and the
American Minister will leave London to-
morrow Nov. 4th] for Paris, on his way to
Madrid" The arguments and the influences
which operated to produce this change in the
policy Of the French Monarch, had not trans
PRED at the time when our information was
despatched; and, indeed, we have reason to
believe that the determination which so sud
denly puts an end to all speculation and APP
prehension on this subject, was made very
suddenly, and was quite unexpected in diplo-
matte circles in London, although it was sup
posed that the answer Of DE L'HUYs would
prevent all difficulty between the two coun-
tries.

Thoughts and Facts From TIE State
Press.

The GAINESVILLE Standard defends the
State Administration and the Legislature
from the cry of extravaganza, on the
ground that the State is young, growing.
and that its wants, needs, charities, and
duties are rapidly increasing.
The Potosi Republican says the new
law for the equalization of taxes through
out the State was prepared by WM. Hull
Member from that District, and will prove
a protection to the Western Counties as
it says they are always assessed higher
in proportion than the Eastern Counties
1t saws the times in that section are
good-every body is doing well, glad Of
it, and making no complaint. And after
mentioning the general prosperity, speaks
of a new warehouse at Cassville which
now has in store nine Thousand bushels
of wheat and t,reirc MouSdnd bushels OF
oats.
1t mentions a Double Shovel" new
invention of that locality for the culture
of corn, and says it is a superior tool.
The Monroe Sentinel has a good article
on the complaint raised against the ex-
trayagance of the late session of the Leg
stature and reads the complainers good

Names of Correspondents.

"WE are frequently obliged to reject
articles intended for our paper, because
the authors refuse TO entrnst us with their
real Iiames."
| The above from an exchange, being a
sample of what nearly every paper in the
country has contained on that subject at
some time or another, serves US as text
for few general remarks.
/ For our part, we have never been able
to see the sense. the propriety, or even
necessity. of a rule of that kind on the
part Of editors. Communications are
neither good or bad, fit or unfit in virtue
of the name attached to them; and whilst
the best name in society could not make
poor article good, neither could bad
name injure good one. If the nature of
communication is such as to make it
1 necessary, that the name of the writer
should be entrusted to the editor as a
means of defence or protection TO him,
then we apprehend, it is of a character
which should preclude it entirely from pub
/ lication; and if be not so necessary, and
the article is unobjcctionable otherwise,
it looks to us like very strained piece of
affectation to demand the name of the
writer before it can be published.
The editorial We, is used.we suppose.
to destroy as much as possible, any and
all personality i'll connection with the pa
per, to the end that personal quarrels and
! personal considerations may not usurp the
/ place which belongs to the discussion of
principles; and the reason of the thing
, is the same with reference to communica=
/ tons. 1t is with the matter of editorials
and communications tkat the public have
/ to do, and not with the personality of
those who write them; and we hold it to
be out of good taste and strict propriety
( for name to be announced at the he'd
Of columns as editor ola paper. lfpapcrs
were properly conductcd-that is, if they
taught the people principles only, and let
individuals make their own application of
I them without interference, as they have
right to, there would be no need or ne
ccssity of parading the name of some one
continually before the public as the res
/ p0nSibie editor; nor. under such circum-
stances would the public care, Gas they
should have no reason toy any more for
the personality of the editor than for that
! of poor house paupcr.
/ Communications addressed to this pa
per will be judged of by their intrinsic
character whether John Smith who writes
them, does or does not append his name
or entrust Us with it, and will be publish
ed or rejected accordingly. If any indi-
viduaI who writes communication for
the paper, intrinsically unobjectionable,
wishes the public to understand that Z" )"
am the author of it, we have no objection
! but we, who pen this article, consider
names Of no special Importance, as appen-
ded to communications intended for the
paper.

The Homestead Bill.

We observe that many people are un-
der the impression that the Homestead
Bill will pass the Senate. 1t is ungra-
cious to disturb this pleasing illusion, but
there is no use in deceiving ourselves.
The Senators from the Slave States, with
one or two exceptions, will vote against
1t, and 1t is too much to expect such
wise and conservative gentlemen, as Mr.
Toucey, and the Senators from the State
OF Camden and Amboy, as the New
Workers phrase it, to countenance so rad
ical and progressive measure.
We confess we have little hope of the
Public Lands. They are doomed, unless
the | eople choose to send representatives
to Congress, who will protect them
against plundering, log-rolling combina-
tlons.
A homestead bill, if it could be pas
sed, would secure to the poor landless
something from the wreck which these
combinations are making of the public
patrimony but the Senate is in the way
and, for aught we can see to the contra
ry, will always be in the way. 1t is not
a Popular body in its composition or in
It's sympathies. 1t does not derive its
existence from the People, and its respon-
slbillty to the People is too remote and
feeble to secure for them great weight
In its deliberations. A body that can
pass the Nebraska Bill, ratify the Gads-
den Treaty, and reject the Homestead
Bill, needs reconstruction.-National

The other World.

Here, is passage from Jean Paul.
translated by De Quincy. Read it, and
muse!
al had been reading an excellent dis
sertation of kruger's upon the old vul-
gar error which regards the space from
one earth and sun to another AS empty.
Our sun, together with all its planets, fills
only the 81, 4l9,46O,OOO, OOO,OOOth part
of the whole space between itself and the
next solar body. Gracious Heavens .
thought LIN what an unfathomable
abyss of emptiness were this universe
swallowed up and lost, if all We're void
and utter vacuity except the few shin
ing points of dust which we call plane
tary system, TO conceive of our earth
~ ocean as the abode of death, and es-
sentially incapable of life, and of its pop
ulous islands as being no greater than
snail shells, would be far less error, in
proportion to the compass of our planet,
than that which attributes emptiness to
the great mundane spaces: and the error
would be far less if the marine animals
were to ascribe life and funess exclu-
sively to the sea, and to regard the at
mospheric ocean above them as empty
and untenanted. According to Herschel,
the most remote Of the galaxies which
the telescope discovers lie at such a dis
lance from us, that their light, which
reaches us at this day, must have set out
on its journey two millions of years ago
and thus by optical laws it is possible
that whole squadrons Of the starry hosts
may be now reaching us with their beams
which have themselves persisted ages
ago. Upon this scale of computation
for the dimensions of the world, what
heights and depths and breadths must
here be in this universe-in comparison
which the positive universe would be
Itself nihility, were it crossed-pierced
and belted about by SO illimitable a
wilderness of nothing. But is it possible
that any man can for moment over
look those vast forces which must per
wade these imaginary deserts with eter-
nal surges of tlux and refux, to make
the very paths to those distant starry
coasts voyageable to our eyes? Can you
lock up in sun or in its planets their
reciprocal forces OF attraction? Does not
the light stream through the immeasur-
able spaces between our earth and the
nebua which is furthest removed from
us! And in this stream of light there
is as ample an existence of the positive,
and as much a home for the abode of Il
spiritual world, as there is dwelling
place for thy own spirit in the substance
of the brain"

Severe Gale.

A gale commenced during Wednesday
night, from the north east, and during
that night, and all day yesterday, blew
harder and lifted the sea of the lake high
er, and dashed it against the shore more
furiously, than is often witnessed. We
notice that the ends of all the piers are
more or less damaged, as is also all the
break-waters along shore and in the lake.
While we write, the wind and sea have
both somewhat subsidized, and the prospect
is favorable that we shall have quiet again
before long.
In our telegraphic dispatches will be
found some accounts of its effects in 9TH
er quarters, and we have no doubt we
shall yet hear of many disasters in conse-
quence of it.
