Know-Nothing Bets and Calculation.

Know-Nothing Bets and Calculations.
In summing up the result of the recent
election in Virginia, the editor of the
Globe tells some homely truths. Hc says !:
We have been q close observer Of
the elections throughout the length and
breadth of the United States for thirty
one years, and never saw one before that
SO convulsed the people of this District.
They used the "fools argument" freely,
and many of them have been ruined
The know nothings were confident of sue
cess, and bet two, to one on the result.
We are told by persons who ought to
know that those living on the square next
west Of our Office lost $41, 900. They
based their bets on calculations that they
had 10000 in their order in Virginia,
which, without any outsiders, would give
them $4,000 majority over the largest
vote ever cast in the State But the best
calculations of wise men have often failed;
and it is, therefore, not surprising that a
know nothing calculation should prove to
be fallacious. They had . brilliant call
cnlation behind this, which soas, that if
they should carry Virginia by large
majority, then all the drift-wood would
float out into their current, and they would
elect their candidate the next President
of the United States. This calculation
would have been good onei their first
contingency had happened. But as that
has proved erroneous, we think we may
safely say that the Old Dominion has
"scotehed the snake, and killed stln

the depot to be sent to the eastern market,
which is always the best, and receiving in
exchange that which .make,h the heart
/ glad" Here they are receiving the high
est prices for all kinds of produce, which
very agreeably relieves them of the neces
sity of carting the same ever bad road

Our town is rapidly filling up, and it's ia
vorable position is already attracting the
attention Of business men, Goods of all
kinds are being sent here, and it is to be
hoped that sufficient amount as to guaati-
ty and variety will soon be here SO as to
supersede the necessity of the consumers
going to Muscatine OF elsewhere to supply
their wants. This we think will be the
case the present fall, which will necessari-
" cut off large portion of the retail trade
of the river towns. IL. NJ. RoBERTs.
