THE OLD GIBRALTER DISTRICT REDEEMED.
We publish among our election returns an ex-
tract from a letter of very reliable cores
pendent at Richmond, KY, in relation to the
judicial election in the 18th district. The
counties comprising this district are also in the
9th Congressional district long famed as the
Gibralter di trict of Kentucky. These counties
went against the American party last year by
an aggregate majority of 1900 votes. Our cor
respondent informs us that it has gone for the
American candidate in the recent election by a
majority of 500. In this district the contest
between Pearl, American, and Riddle, Sag
NIGHT, may be taken as test of party strength.
Both were the nominees of their respective
parties and it appears to have been made par
ty race. This will be glorious news for our
friends everywhere. Throug hout the whole
State the result has been similar. Wherever
the party lines were strictly drawn and it was
understood that there was to be party c,n-
test there are large gains for the America
party.
Since the letter of our Richmond correspon-
dent arrived we have received a Geographic
dispatch from Frankfort saying that so far as
heard from, PEARLS majority in the 18th dis
trict is a. We do not know which is the latest
but the fact is established that the American
candidate is elected, that there is large gain
for the American party. and that the Gbralter
district is redeemed and will be safe for Fill
more and Donelson by large majority.

extent from the usual place suggests they may
be in some other part of his body-therefore
we have the highest regard for Mr. Miller's
physical connection with the earth, and shall
make up in respect to it for any deficiency OF
admiration for the part of him nearest heaven.
We are sorry our honorable Representative
permits himself to be troubled by such a thing
as we are. But perhaps this is right. as he has
not permitted the duties of his office or the
interests of his constituents to trouble him
any-and every man, no matter how great he
lis. should have his troubles.
