THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN WISCONSIN.

.
The Milwaukee News of the 9th publishes partial
returns from twenty-five counties, which show a
democratic gain of ,39l votes. That paper claims
the election Of Cross, the democratic candidate for
governor, by probably 1900 votes. 1t says:
''It will DO that the returns we have are not
mainly from any two particular sections but they
are scattering returns from nearly every section 1t will
also be seen that the democracy, far heard FROM
have made considerable gains Gov Barstows vote
In the same towns two years ago Gov Baistow was de-
eated by 500 We have already much more than over
come that majority Our best Judgment upon the re-
turns in gives the election to the democracy by full
5000 majority
1--WE have heard from the counties that have been
most infected with bogus republicanisn; while from
of the democratic stronghods not word has been
received, Therefore it is not extavagant for to claim
that James D. Cross is elected by at least 900 majority
The balance of the ticket is also undoubtedly elected
Negro suffrage is-nowhere!
1.-The Wisconsin democracy send greeting to the de-
mocracy of the Union They have met and vanquishcd
the enemy! The Northwest is sound to the core |!
Against great odds the party went into the concstan
odds of Ia, 900. But our gallant tire The
Dred Scott decision and popular sovereignty endorsed

These results are trophies let them stand for monu-

The vote in favor of the extension of the right of
suffrage to negroes is much less than the republican
vote on the State ticket.
In the Milwaukee News of the 7th we find the
following additional intelligence
The returns received at this office last night are SO
few to make very material variation in table
published yesterday and hence omit to reprint IL this
morning. But such additional returns as have arc
encouraging and may be found elsewhere. 1t will be
that they mainly from the western portions OF the
Statcin some instances from counties and towns which
went strongly for the republicans last fall and in every

find nothing in them to to alter our belief so
confidently expressed in the News of yesterday. We

A case came before Alderman Encu, of Phiade-

little attention in that city, although disposed
to believe not of its kind. The particu
lars are thus furnished by the Argus:
The charges were brought by Mr.. John Young against
Mr., A. M Eastwick, president of the City Bank, and
Joseph 8 Riley the cashier of usury, violation of Off
cial oath, &c, &c.
The circumstances out of which this action has been
commenced were to by Mr. Young, follows

1t will be remembered that on the 18th

crime was that OF being a former resi-

Terrible Tornado i'm New York State.
Loss of Lives and Property.

The Oswego On " Times, of Il
18th, gives an account of most terrific
whirlwind on Saturday last that swept
over section of country a few miles
southwest Of Oswego. Its commence
ment and progress is thus stated
The tornado commenced at point FIVE
miles southwest of the city, near the
residence of Mr. Peter Simmons. Dur
ing the storm. two large clouds were OBJ
served rushing together with immense
force the noise Of their collision resem-
bled the report Of cannon, and was
heard at a considerable distance. The
wind seems to have leaped from the
clouds, and, descending towards the
earth, the entire roof of a barn belong
ing to Mr. Simmons was taken off, and
the fragments, boards, shingles, and
pieces of rafters, strewed along for the
distance of one and quarter miles.
The whirlwind then passed on and
struck the dwelling house of Mr.. James
Cole, tore out the gable end and took up
the building, actually turning it hall
round On its foundations Incredible
as this appears, it is strictly true, and
the front door Of the house, which for
meTly opened towards the street, now
opens into a lot adjoining the yard. Mr.
and Mrs. Cole were absent at the time,
leaving two children in the house. 1t
may well be supposed that on their re-
turn they were considerably astonished
at the appearance of things, though over
joyed to find their children unframed
except by fright. The wind having
spent its fury and malice at this point,
departed on its journey to the eastward.
1t next swept over an orchard, tearing
the trees up by the roots /; then attacked
a barn, destroyed it, and carried the barn
shovel up in the air probably fifty feet
high; next it drew up tree by the
roots, and dashed it with tremendous
force on German teamster, killing him
instantly. After this bloody deed, it
attacked a ten acre lot, covered with
trees, and did not leave till every tree
was Frustrated. Several barns, out
houses, and buildings of every deserip-
ton were demolished The whole dam
age Ia estimated at S25,o0O

Mr. EDITOR Many false statements
have gone forth in reference to an acct
dent which occurred at the Union School
House a few days ago Some Of the
pupils Of the intermediate School (of
which am tcacher) were amusing them
selves in the unfinished part by stepping
from one sleeper to another. One of
them, Mr. Hobson's daughter, made a
mis-step, and fell, not from the second
floor, as stated in the advertiser of last
week, but from the first. She did not lie

formation was sent to her parents a soon

though far less 50 than anticipated. Its
effects are far from fatal, for Clara (,he
