Brilliant Democratic Triumph. IN Wis

CVubln'
Despite the lies ofthe telegraph. about
the Black Republican State ticket having
succeeded in Wisconsin by from three to
FIVE thousand majority, it appears that the
Democracy have actually carried it. The
Milwaukee .Nesus of November 10 says
that Mr.. Cross, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, is out Of the woods, and
that he and all the State ticket are elect
ed by from twelve to fifteen hundred major
ity. 1t gives table of returns--some esti-
mated-by which it appears that the Dem
ocratic majority is over two thousand.
The Chicago Tribune, the leading Repub-
lican paper in Illinois, gives it up. The
Democracy of Wisconsin have thus gained
one of the most brilliant victories which
has marked this year of Democratic tri-
umphs. Starting out with a majority
against them of fifteen thousand on total
vote of one hundred and thirty thousand,
they have overcome it aud rolled up fifteen
thousand on the other side. The redemp
State of New York about finishes the ca
reer of -Republicanism, unless it is
revived by some act of madness or folly
on the part of our political friends, which
we have no reason to anticipate. The
North west is now nearly all in the Dem
ocratic column. Indiana and Illinois
stood the storm of 1856, and are now even
Hrmer than they were then in the faith.
The new State of Minnesota has come
to their aid; Wisconsin has gallantly
arranged herself on the same side; Ohio,
by the election of Democratic Legisla-
ture, delivered herself from the Black Re-
publican column, if she has not gone clean
over to the Democratic side. Iowa and
Michigan are trembling in the balance,
and next year will be Democratic. The
Northwest unit, and New York re-
deemed, Black -Repu5licanism is driven to
it's favorite sectional home Of New England,
and even there il will be expelled from the
more patriotic States Brief and inglorious
has been its career, and none will regret
the overthrow of an organization, potent
for mischief but powerless for good. The
following is the ticket elected in Wiscon-
sin:

FOR THE SESSION
E @ STATESMAN.

In the existing situation of our State.
affairs the proceedings of the next General.
Assembly will be regarded by the people
with unusual interest. An unsettled and
deprecated currency and deranged and
disordered public finances, may yet de-
mand that bodness of treatment, to be
Expected, when necessary, only from a
dominant Democracy. The measures of
the majority in the ensuing legislature
will perhaps be few and simple; but thas
they will be marked by such vigor and
effect as the continuance of the present
crisis would demand, We feel assured.
That their action, however wholesome.
will encounter the indiseriminate and pre-
determined censure of partisan oppo-
sition, we have been apprised in advance;
and it will behoove Democrats, in order
to their own vindication, to spread the
record of their transactions before the
people.
In any event, as at all times, it will be
of great assistance to the Legislature it,
self, in the discharge of its responsible
ties, and equally source of satisfaction
and safety to the people, that the daily
action of the body should have concur
rent and extensive publicity.
To this end, the Daily, Tri-Weekly and
Weekly Statesman will carefully embody.
during the session, succinct but reliable
reports. Without numbering the paper
with minute parliamentary details, we
shall present the spirit and substance Of
the sayings and doings of the members.
upon every leading and important meas
ure.
The Statesman will be the only Dem
ocratic paper in Ohio which will contain
regular reports. We shall publish the
Session paper at such terms as will enable
every citizen to inform himself Of the ac-
ton of Senators and Representatives,
without missing the subscription price.
The future asceudencyof the Democracy
of the State will depend, in the greatest
ldegree, upon proper knowledge by the
people of the conduct of the Democratic
majority in the Legislature. Our reports
will constitute such a history as will fur
nish this knowledge, and the Session
Statesman should have very wide circu
lation, so that no Democratic voter need
be ignorant of the important events o
the session. ,,, .e fessiags4 M hi

LAW VS., JUSTICE

Some interesting developments have been made
10 the District Court this week, which may serve
to confound our friends in the East, ia regard 10
the administration of justice in Kansas. On last
wednesday the case of Henderson Smallwood
came up for trial. Mr. S~mallwood has been held
to bail in heavy bonds aud his case has been adj
)ourned over several terms Of Court. When this
case was called up, H. Miles Moor. counsel Gr
defendant, requested to SET copy Of the indict.
ment against his client. But il could not no
tound-no indictment or presentment Of anv
kind, aud the sad truth appeared that Mr.. Small
wood had been arrested and held 10 hail mon =
mere bench warrant which even lacked the sigma
ture OF the clerk o fthe Court. The counsel for
defense was thundeFstruck, as we'll he might be.
at this discovery, but Immediately moved that
The defendant with some twenty others whose
cases were similar, be discharged. Judge lie.
oounpte WINGED under the exposure Of the ;,fa.
nous iniquity that had been practiced upou tba
Free State men, but was forced to grant .heir
discharge.
II now appears that Free State men Of Kansas
have not unfrequently been arrested. tried and
Fnsd on mere bench warrants, without haing
indicted. Could there be anything more das.
tardly than thisf II Is not only a violation Of
all law and justice. but Il is converting LEGAL
tribunals into uRholy sgents Of injustice and wrong
OF persecution and tyranny. and Is another proof
Of the sLnPendous 'crime against Kansas" in
which Judges, and Senators. and Presidents
have been guilty involved.

the second by the President Of the Synod, Mr..

was logical. clear, terse and most devoutly earnest.
To all such sermons there can be but one response,
viz: that they are interesting, instructive and edi-
flying, as was evident on that occasion by the hun
dreds Of most attentive auditors. who retained their
seats during the delivery of the two sermons.
We are informed that the Rev. Cramer, who
occupied the Presbyterian Church delivered most
elegant, fluent and classical sermon from the text
Of Paul's s to King Agrippa, where the King
says: ALMOST thou persuadest me to be a Chris
