The Election Here

There was but small vote cast here yes
terday, not much more than half the vote OF
the city. All the Old Line voters who could
nominations, were brought out-and the
Democratic vote yesterday shows just about
how strong the old line clique is in Yanderburg.
But there was no organization whatsoever in
the American party, simply because that
party had made no nominations The
majority of those who voted at ALL voted Of
course against their old opponents, while
many refused or neglected to vote. The Ger
man vote was divided on the two tickets. The
election passed off quietly, although there
was occasionally angry talking at the Court
House polls.

OF The most vigorous efforts were made
by the Old Liners to carry their candidates
through yesterday. They had thoroughly
organized, and we understand at meeting
Monday evening appointed COMMITTEES to at
tend to each precinct The opposition to the
Old Line Clique nominations had no organiza-
ton, and there seemed but three or four persons
actively engaged during the morning (the time
of our writing) in working for the Indepen-
dent candidates If under these circumstances
the Old Liners are successful, it will be moth
ing strange, but indeed just what might have
been expected.

this, but it is SO framed that it protects
rather than pnnishes the rogue"
In cheese also, a great deal of rascality pre-
walls in Cincinnati, under the customary taTe,
which is forcibly illustrated by the examples
given in the Price Current. 1t gives the fol-
lowing historical events as proof: ar
"a year or so ago. business house in Man
chester, England, ordered throughaone of
our commission houses, a lot of, cheese; the Or
der was filled, and the gross and net weight
given according to what is customary. When
the cheese arrived in Manchester, the lot was
weighed, and the actual weight of the boxes
deducted, when to the purchasers surprise he
found that the actual net weight fell Ear short of
that set down in the invoice; believing be had
been swindled, he had the matter brought be-
fore the prepor authorities at Liverpool, and
identified by the U. S. Consul at that port;
and armed with the proper documents, the
matter was presented through his agent here,
who was met with the reply, This is our GUS
tom, sir.'''
In Manufactured Io5acco, too, the Price Cur
rent complains of "the most fragrant inposi-
tions'' 1t alleges that ''the kegs in which six
twist tobacco is packed, are tared twenty
pounds; when, as is well known, they weigh
thirty pounds, and, in many cases, forty pounds
each; and SO, in regard to box tobacco; the
packages are made to weigh six to ten pounds
more than is allowed for them"
And once again:
So systematic is this mode Of swindling car

specially stipulated that they shall weigh sew
eral pounds over the ordinary weight. We
have it from good authority, that certain
cooper in the vicinity of neighboring town
has now contract to manufactures lot o
five hundred lard barrels, in which it is espe
cially stipulated that each barrel shall moi
weigh less than sirty pounds. a
The Price Current asks for legislative actor
to stop these frauds, so as to compel actua
tare to be given in all cases, and make the fac
of false tare being marked ON a package, pri
ma facie evidence of fraud.

LIQUOR LAW IN MIoHIGAN.-The Detroit
Inquirer thus speaks of the operation of the
Liquor Law in that State:
The good effects of the prohibition of the
sale of liquor are already become apparent.
When the law went into effect, the Mar

in the Calhoun county jail. Now there are
none; the Sheriff has starved out, and has
gone into the livery business! Here the "un-

OF A number of times yesterday at the
Court House polls, as Germans were walking
up to vote, Independent tickets were taken
out of their hands, the Old Line ticket sub
and the voters were actually push
ed and dragged up to the voting place, before
they could well realize what they were doing.
Had there been any organization on the other
side, and the usual excitement, this rough
course of the Old Liners would have led to a
riot "sure as shooting" 1t won't do to try
that game at any ordinary election. Why
don't they "try it on' some American.

double the supply-it is hard matter to get
it. For the last six weeks Browning Drug

ounces a week-he had only been able to get

Come down, won't you? We have now in

two pounds. One of them weighs two pounds
and five ounces. Another has twenty-four
rows, and over thirteen hundred grains ON it.
Noo where's your Ohio corn? This corn OF
ours had been picked several days before
weighed, and consequently did not weigh by
an ounce oretwo what it would have weighed
when plucked.

GEORGE LAW AND JOEL CLoUGH.-The fol-
lowing paragraph referring to George Law and
Joel Clough, we find in the Sussex IN. J.)
Register:
In glancing over the pamphlet "Life of Geo.
Law" we find he is the same man with whom
we had casual acquaintance at Easton during
the winter of 1830-31. He had with him, at
that time, young man named Clough, who
seemed to be connected with him in business.
George was somewhat taciturn, while CIough
was lively and affable. Both appeared to be
thriving young men, with an equally bright ftI-
ture to cheer them to exertion. But mark
the sequel. Two or three years afterwards
Clough was hung at Mount Holly for the muir
der of Mrs. Hamilton, a young widow lady Of
Bordentown, who refused to marry him, and
George is now millionaire, with Presidential
aspirations. Such is life.

Passing Away.

1t is with a mour1lful feeling that we read
the following resolution, with Others going
the rounds OF the papers: = ReseeUea, That the
merit Democratic National Convention be held at
CsrscsnnoE; IN tsg Site of Ohio" Mournful
because it reminds us, in forcible manner,
that the proudsst forces on earth are fading,
vanishing, feeting as the air. But three years
ago that proud party met at Baltimore, nom
mated franklin Pierce and then resolved to
meet at Cincinnati infnur years mo0e--resOlved
to meet as certainly as the sun should rise, as
certainly as the revolving year would bring
them there in, it's circuit. Another Xeryss
might have gazed upon them and wept tlnt
the many millions of that thr0Dging host
would soon be discounted and slain, almost
/ like the host of Sennacherib, on single night
have they been swept FROM the earth. And
we read those resolutions as we look upon the

hOSSUTH ON THE FALL OF SEBAST0P0L.-
Kossuth writes that he considers the "fall'' of
Sebastopol only the beginning of the war.
He says:
The taking of Sebastopol decides nothing,
solves no question, and brings nothing to an
end Quite the reverse. Success at Sebasto-
pol will make peace impossible-will rather
inaugurate a real and protracted war; That
will be the veritable beginning of the war,
but not the beginning of the end.
He adds that only the south of Scbastopol
is taken OF rather destroyed; and that the north
remains to be invested; and that to do this the
basis of operations upon Kamiesch and Balak-
lava has to be abandoned, and a new one Sc
cured. A winter campaign in the Crielne is
still the prospect. The Allies success would
be followed by "a war of blockade" In that
case, he intimates, our Government must look
to its rights, and particularly to the doctrine o
free ships, free goods" which we, in common
with the northern powers, have declared.
