The Election-The Result.

About two.thirds of the counties have
been heard from, and the only question now
is, what will Folks majority be? He lead,
Mr.. Ewing, and will doubtless beat hin
from five to eight Thousand The presump.
zion is that the entire democratic ticket i.
elected with him.
For Congress, in the First District, Blair
is elected. In the Second, Anderson beats
Richmond. In the Third, Green is elected
by a majority not much short of two thou.
sand votes. In the Fourth, Craig is elected
over Moss. Inthe Filth, Woodson is cleo.
ted for the full term, over Douglas and
Price, and for Miller's vacancy, Akers has
defeated C. F. Jackson. The Sixth re-
elects Phelps, and the Seventh Caru,hers.
The strength Of parties in the Legislature
is not yet known.
Mourntul subjects will not bear dwelling
upon, and We announce the general results
briefly. Those who want particulars must
wait patiently for the official vote.

the municipal administration has raised at
Fegular distances on the Boulevard Of Sc

On these candelbras clock dials have been

is the first application a. Paris on a grand
scale of electricity as regulator of public

IL The Illinois Republicans have a hard
time with their State ticket. The Germans
demanded one of the leading offices, and one
Of them was nominated for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. II was soon found that he was incl
igibls, as the constitution of that State was
90 "proscriptive" as to require residence
(for civilization) Of fourteen years, after
naturalization. He was therefore dropped,
on account of ineligibility. Col. Bissell,
their candidate for Governor, turns out tc
be ineligible, also. Another provision Of
the constitution requires person to swear,
before he can be installed, that he never
gave or received challenge to fight duel
Col. B. once challenged jeff. Davis, bu'
there was no fight, and he is thus cut off,

IL "Inspector," writes from Washing
ton to the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer as
follows:
The appointment Of Col. John w. Geary
to be Governor of Kansas is concession to
Pennsylvania, and proves the imminent dan
ger of the Democracy in that State. Col.
Geary is a Democrat of the Pharisaic order,
who has been good soldier, fought well in
Mexico, and is devoted to James Buchanan.
The pretense that will be stated for the dis
missal of Shannon, is his proclisity to strong
drink. The real cause of his disgrace is
that he has SO utterly Disguised the free
States that the party cannot carry his weight.

Coolies, both in English and American ves-
sells, continues with undated vigor in Gu

borers are treated on the plantations no bet

WASHINGTON, August 6.--Shots were ex-

between Mr.. Prior, OF the Richmond Enquirer,
and Mr.. Ridgway, of the Wing. After the first
shot, Col p. S. Brooks, of South Carolina, Mr..
Caskie and Mr. Ednundson, of Va, arrived upon
the ground and settled the matter amieably. The
challenge was withdrawn, and Mr.. Prior admit
ted his language was used under the belief that il
was Mr.. Mdgway's settled determination to force
him INTO a difficulty. Mr.. Rdgway disc laimed
any such purpose, and the affair thus ended. Nei-

For lover Of Henry Clay to be sup
porter of James Buchanan is ridiculous be-
yond the power Of description or caricature.
For a professed believer in the principles
which constituted the Ashland creed to en-
dorse the Cincinnati platform and its en-
bodinent, is inconsistent to a point approach

TONES WON'T DO.

They never did do more than give temporary re-
lief and they never will. II is because they don't
touch the CAUSE Of the disease. The CAUSE OF
all ague and bilious diseases is the atmospheric
poison called Miasma or Malaria. Neutraize this
poison by its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all
disease caused by il disappears at once. Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure is this Antidote TO Malaria
and moreover il is perfectly harmless medicine.
This certificate Of the celebrated chemist, J. r.
Chiffon, of New York, to this effect, is attached
to every bottle; therefore il it does no good it can
do no harm. .i.sr
This is more than can be said of Quinine, Arse
mic, or any tonic in existence as their use is ruin
Gus TO the constitution and brings on DUNE
AGCE, which never allows person to feel per
fectly well for single moment. In illustration
of these truths annex some extracts from letter
just received from physician: --

January

January.
The month of January, 1856, will long
be remembered for the steady, coldness
of the weather, its extreme severity. and
The depth of the snow. We have con-
rersed with men who have resided here
between forty and fifty years, and all
unite in saying that during that period.
the last month has been u~nequalled. II
has been an exception to all rules. There
has been no January before, nor has it
been sufficiently warm for n hour,
during the month, to melt the snow at all,
on open ground.
Our citizens have enjoyed a perfect
sleighing carnival. Scarce a night lex
cept Sabbath. has passed, in which one
or more parties have not left our town,
in different directions. On several
evenings over one hundred persons went
out, though we believe, never that num-
Der in any n party.
1t would not probably be an over es-
innate, to say that two thousand dollars
were paid BY sleigh riding parties from
this place, during the last month. That
is all right. Let the money circulate.
