The Foreign Vote.

In the late election the Irish Catholic vote
went lmost unanimously for Buchanan, and the
German Catholic vote in nearly the same pro-
portion. The number of Irith Catholics In
Pennsylvania who voted for Fremont might be
given accurately in Two figures. IT did net, We
are sure. reach 100. The German Catholics
were not quite so exclusive, rs there Is among
some of them 8 hatred of jesuitism and love OF
freedom which leads them to the right side po-
litically; but the great bulk of the German
Catholics voted fer Buchanan.
On the other hand the majority Of the Pro-
tesiant Irish vote was given TO Fremont, and
the Welsh, English and Scotch went almost
bodily with the Republicans. Of the German
Protestants and liberals, majority in most Of
the Free States voted in the same way. Ia Il
linois, Wisconsin. Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey, especially in the cities,
the free-hearted Germans gave mani y support
to the Republican cause, notwithstanding the
lies that were so indrstriously circulated 20 draw

Double Refined Meanmess.

The Bellefountaine Republican, in speak
ing of the severe fire which visited that
place on the lst, says:
We doubt if ever plundering was carried
to so great an extent as on last Saturday
night. A certain class Of our citizens
seemed to be ''at home in carrying away
and secreting goods, DC, as they were ta-
ken from our business firms and dwellings,.
Many of them were seen divesting them
selves of their boots and other clothing and
assuming better garbs, whilst Others were
carrying off goods by the box, bale and
bag full, and secreting them in and beyond
the suburbs. 1t is said that wagons were
awaiting near town to receive and carry of
the stolen goods.
A dilligent search was instituted the
next morning, and some four or five thou
sand dollars worth of stolen goods were
recovered, with two or three exceptions,
from the Irish citizens. This shows very
plainly where reform is needed, and whe-
ther our institutions need protection from
this class of citizens.
There We're some thirty Irishmen arrest
ed the next day, for the crime of petit and
grand larceny, and there are seventeen now
in our prison awaiting trial at our next
term of Court. Our town was guarded
by watchmen several days after the fire.

On Saturday last, Mr.. Solomon Small, of

beef, at the barn, short distance from the

trails, leaving an infant ten months old in
the cradle, and daughter five years ofage
in the house, and closed the door. In half
an hour or more, she returned to the house
to look after her children. On opening the
door, she beheld her eldest child lying

Murder Of Col. Rabbit.

The Council Bluffs Bugle, of Nov. 4th
has some particulars of the murder of Col
Rabbit by the Indians. Col. R. left his
family in Utah lastspring to visit Washing
ton on official business. He stopped al
Council Bluffs on hisreturn in August, and
left for Utah with only one attendant
Upon arriving at Fort Kearney, he found
that the Cheyennes had attacked his freight
train of Government property, killed four
of the party, and taken the stock and every
other valuable thing they desired. The
Bugle saws:
Here Mr.. B. stopped a week to gather
up what could be found of the scattered
property, purchase other teams, obtain dri-
vers and start the train again, himself start
ing forward with two attendants, viz: f.
Roland, and Mr.. Sunderland. They stop
ped at 2 o'clock, when 2s hours out, and
having travelled 12O miles, a band of twelve
mounted Cheyennes, whose hands were yet
reeking with the blood Of the murdered,
bore down upon them with wild shout
and hideous yell. Mr.. S. was away
from the wagon short distance. Mr.. r.
stood near by apparently petrifed, and was
shot down by score of well aimed arrows.
Mr.. B., after hailing the Indians, fired, first
his rifle, then his revolving pistols at them,
but being still hard pressed, dubbed his ri
fle, and backing towards his carriage, fought
desperately and etfectually, and single hand
ed and alone as he was, would have stood
a chance to come off victorious over a half
score of savage warriors, had not coward
ly, blood-thirsty wretch come up behind in
to the uncovered wagon, and with his TOM
ahawk felled him to the earth. Mr.. S. en-
deavored to save himself by flight, but was
also overtaken and killed. + Thus
has fallen noble, brave, true, and a
good man, whose loss will be severely felt
by his family and numerous friends.
After Drawing every danger by sea and
land, and having traversed the American
continent over many a time, the steel of
the savage has laid him low upon the des-
ert heather, prey to wild beasts, where
even resting place for his bones cannot be
found.

A Row AT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Wise, Senator Douglas, John Slidell and
other distinguished members of the Slave
Propaganda, have been at Wheatland. 1t
is understood that Mr. Buchanan's constitu-
tional timiditv prevented him from aece-
ding to the imperious suggestions, or rath-
er demands, of Gov. Wise. The immense
majorities cast against him in the North
have made so deep an impression as to
cause him to shrink from the extreme
measures they propose to him.
This hesitation has excited the ire of his
Virginia super-aristocratic Highness. the
ilIustrious and immaculate Wise. Slidell,
more eourtly, but not the less dangerous,
stroye TO attain the same end. Even back
ed by Douglas, they could not extort
negative or en- affirmative from the Presi
dent elect. They succeeded in frightening
him very much, but this very effect produced
such extreme nervousness, that all will, cour-
age and resolution had departed from him.
This five thousand dollar per-nigger, Mr..
Wise then flew into tremendous passion,
left in high dudgeon, refusing to eat
Thanksgiving dinner at Wheatland. He
and Slidel, evidently prefer Virginia corn
cake and bacon, to Pennsylvania buckwheat
and dturkey.-Philadelphia Times.

Direct Trade with Europe.

London, Canada West, having become
a Lake port through the London and Port
Stanley Railway, the enterprising business
men of that city recently held a meeting,
at which it was determined that trade
should be set on foot to take the exporta-
bic produce of the country from that port
directly to Liverpool or other markets OF
England. 1t is contended that Canadian
wheat can be put on board vessels of Port
Stanley and carried direct, without once
breaking bulk, TO the European market, at
better remunerative rates than by way of
New York, with tile delays and re-ship-
ments of that route. The Canadian Lon
doners have resolved TO test the matter,
and form a direct business interest with the
Londoners over the water.

SUICIDE Serene Percival, resident
of Troy, Geauga County, shot himself on
Sunday morning, October 10th. The act
seems to have been deliberate, as he pur-
chased two guns for the purpose. The
first proving too long for his convenient
use, he purchased shorter one. He had,
for some years, had a serious difficulty with
his brother, which he could not adjust sat
isfactorily to himself-his brother repelling
oft repeated advances to that effect, treat
ing him with silent coldness. He left two
letters-one for his wife and one for his
brother, in both of which he stated the
cause of his rash act to be the unadjusted
difficulty with his brother, saying, he ''could
not live so" Mr.. Percival was man Of
respectability-a professor of religion, be-
ing member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He run the bullets for his gun
in the presence of his wife, on Sunday morn
ing, which act, on the Sabbath, somewhtr.
surprised her, but she had no thought GA
suspicion of his purpose. Loading his gun
in her presence, he left the house, and had
been absent but few moments, when his
wife, hearing the report Of a gun, stepped
to the door, and saw him lying at the cor
ner of the house in the agonies of DEATH
He had placed the muzzle Of the gun un-
der one of his ears, and discharged the con-
tents into his head.-RaveRna Democrat.

tion of his ability and impartiality as Judge.
The Supper, says The Democrat, was served up
at Jones Hotel in good style, and all present
seemed to enjoy themselves and the good things
before them. Speeches were made and tonsfs
drank bya number of those present, among them
Judges SAMPLE and WELKER. The compliment
was well deserved, and we are glad that it was
shared in by members of both parties.

SUIcIDE.-Our readers and the public
here, remember that DR.. Snodgrass who
had before held a respectable position in So

pretended for the murder of his wife. The
trial before the magistrate in this town did
not leave strong conviction of his guilt;
but he was committed for trial. AS the
time approached he seemed depressed in
spirits, and yesterday morning was found
dead in his cell, he having cut his throat.
The conviction of his guilt is of course
strengthened by the act.-Massilon Ners.

Who ELECTED BUCHANAN Hear what
the ST. Louis Intelligencer, a Fillmore Or
gan. says in answer to the question:
VINO ELECTED BUcHANAN?-Not the
Democratic party;-the returns show that
the Democracy are in hopeless minority
in every Northern State.
Buchanan owes his election to that black
guarded and abused organization, called
Know Nothingsi 1t can't be successfully
denied.
Where would Buchanan have stood in
Pennsylvania, Indiana and New jersey, but
for these "Know Nothings!" Some sixty
or seventy thousand of these voted directly
or indirectly for him, and directly or indi-
rectly against Fremont although their prin-
ciples are as dimetrieally opposed to the
Democracy as day is to night.
We record these facts for the benefit of
the Democracy, and we would like to know
whether it is the design of the incoming
Administration, in view of these facts, TO
pursue the same proscri ptive course toward
American-born citizens as the Pierce Ad-
ministration has pursued.

LovEJoY.-Among the Republican Mem
bers of Congress chosen in Illinois, by tri-
umphant vote, we are glad to note the
name of Owen P. Lovejoy. Nineteen years
ago his brother, Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy
was murlered-shot down-by the pro-
slavery mob of Alton, while defending the
freedom of the press. Now, Owen Lovejoy'
maintaining the same principles for which
his brother was hunted and slain like a
beast or prey, is elected to Congress by
1000 majority. What marvellous change
in public sentiment. We venture the pre-
diction that Illinois will have no ADLER Rep
resentative than Owen Lovejoy. He will
stand as peer among the first throughout
the Union.

A GREAT HONEY CRoP-M. Quinby,
of st. Johnsonville, Montgomery county,
N. Y, has sold this year upwords of 90
900 pounds of honey, principally produced
by himself, and the remainder by few
neiphbors who have followed his example.
Himself and son made the production OF
honey business, and undoubtedly pro
fitabie one. The honey is deposited by
the bees in small, cheap boxes, with glass
sides and ends, and sold in the same by
weight, including the weight Of boxes.
