Result of Late Election iu iowa.

We attempted hurrietily yesterday to state
the result of the State election, ascertaned by
the board of canvasserS. \ word or two Iii this
connection may not be amiss.
1t will be seen that we have elected one of
our candidates, and that there is but small
majority against us on Superintendent and Re-
gister of Land Office. We have all along said
that the vote would be c!ose that the chances
were in favor of the election of portion Of our
ticket and that it would be found ii any of the
opposition candidates were chosen, they We're
indebted to Republican votes for such result
The result yerifes this statement not only in
spirit, but to the letter. Enough Republican
votes remained at home in Dubuque county
alone to change the result and secure the elec
ton of our whole ticket. Mr.. Fisher is elected
by the Republican votes of his own county,
Clayton. That county is Republican by at least
600 votes, having given nearly 700 for Fremont;
yet Mr.. Fisher gets there ma jority OF 400
votes. This result is due not so much to his
personal popularity there, rs to an absence o!
party feeling and feeling OF disappointment
that the Republican candidate was not chosen
from that section of the State. In another,
northern Republican county, several towns were
without Republican tickets. In another, which
gave Republican majority OF between 100 and
200, democratic majority to that extent = re-
turned, because of intormality in the returns.
Indeed, errors in making ont the returns lose us
enough votes to change the result.
At the Fall election 10000 votes were pOl!ed.
The vote at the late election is only 65,oUn.
The Counties from which tie returns were not
sent, probably gave majority OF at leas: 800
votes in our favor. ".-t
In view of such facts to call the result Of the
late election q democratic triumph, or TO say
that indicates an increase of democratic strength
in the State, is an absurdity so gross as not to
deceive any man. The Republicans of Clayton
ought certainly to receive special note OF
thanks from Mr. Fisher and his friends for the
election of the former. We don't see any such
complimentary votes from the Democrats Of Linn
for their local candidate; On the contrary we find
his majority half that given our ticke. there last
fall Iowa City Republican.

Cross EXAMINED TOO PAa.--Some years ago
steamboat called "Old Kentucky" blew up
near Trinity, at the mouth OF the Ohio, by which
accident II lady rejoicing in the name OF Jones,
lost her husband and her trunk, for both Of
which an action was brought.
There was great difficulty in proving that Mr..
Jones had been on the boat at the time OF the
collapse-that worthy having been drunk on the
wharf boat just as the steamer left Trinity.
Many witnesses we're examined to prove that
fact until finally Mr.. Deitzmar, German, WAS
placed on the stand, and questioned as follows:
Mr.. Dei,zmar, did you know the Old Ken
tuck?"
Yah, yos blow up NIT her"
"Were you on board when she collapsed her
fues' s.-t ....
. "When she burst her biler? Oh yah, wash
dare"
'.Did you know Mr.. Joness"
"To be sure; Mr.. Jones and took passages
togedder." .- .-...
You did When did you last see Mr.. Jones
On board the boat!'
We'll, | didn't see Mr. Jones aboard de boat
last time"
The lawyer fancied his case was safe, and with
a most triumphant glance at the jury, said:
you did mott Well Mr.. Dei,zmar, when last
did you see Mr.. Jones?"
"Well, when de schmokeppe and me was go.
ing up, we met Mr.. Jones coming down."

oil. Frank Anderson, an officer Of Walkers
army arrived here as passenger on the Geo.
Law-he says that when he left Aspinwall, srd
inst, Walker was in Rivas with 500 men. A
day or two previous to Anderson leaving the
Ishmus, letter was received from private
source in San Francisco requesting Gen. Walker
to be sure and be at San Juan Del Sur three or
four days in advance of the steamers usual ar
rival at that place from San FnuciSco, but not
to have his expectations raised too high, and he
would find something to benefit him ant his
cause. The Col also says, he heard from an
thentic source that the proposed benefit was in
the shape of a small sailing vessel, ft'cd up by
private enterprise, having upwards Of 80 inen,
with good supply of provisions, arms and am
muntion, which Anderson THINKS must have ar
rived ere this time, and been taken ch'rge of
Walker and his representatives, and Ander-
son thinks Walker is still in the ascendant and
gives no credit to the reports that he has taken
refuge in a man of war on the other side.
One of the officers Of the Guah says that on
leaving Aspnwail the report was circulated that
Walker was completely hemmed in on all sides
by the enemy at Rivas, and that the allies were
about bringing guns to bear on him, in which
case he thinks there will be little hopes for his
men, of which he has but about 500 all told.

CITY FOUNDRY ra RUINs.-Testerd forenoon
the City Foundry, situated on Front street, near
Broadway, and owned by Messrs. Brown, Dim
ock Il Co., fell with terrific crash. At the
time of the fall there we're twenty five men at
work in the building, but strange to say, every
individual escaped without The slightest injury.
The only warning the worknen had, was the
cracking OF the glass in the windows, caused by
the walls giving way, and at The same instant al
most the entire mass fell into confused heap
of runs-the workmen escaping by making q
hasty retreat. The fall OF the building was
caused by excavating cellar adjoining the
Foundry on the North, on the corner of Broad
way and Front streets, for new hotel, alluded
to in the Wing few days ago. At the time of
the crash, there were fifteen laborers engaged
in digging the cellar, but being on the opposite
side from the falling building, they all escaped
without the least tinjury.-Quincy Wing.
