The County.

We were in hopes of being able, in
this issue, of giving our readers the of
fetal vote of the county, but as we are
disappointed in this, we give below the
vote, as far as heard from, on Governor,
Congress, and Sheriff The Republi-
cans of this county, taking all things
into consideration, have done exceed
ingly well. We have elected our en-
tire county ticket, by majorities ranging
from 1876 to 500. Our Senator and
Representatives are elected by about
$50 majority. The greatest efforts
were made by the enemy, on their can
didates for Sheriff and Prosecuting
Attorney; they nominated their best
men for the posts, and then made every
effort and strained every to elect
them. They were united, vigorous,
INSCRIPTIONS, and used money, and
every other means with lavish hand;
but we are happy to say that they are
completely routed. The Republicans
have indicated their good faith and
attachment to principles, and carried
the whole ticket to a glorious victory.
In the following table, it will be seen
that Marcellus, Volinia, and Milton,
are reported as not being heard from.
In Marcellus, the enemy claim a ma
jority of four on the State ticket, and
eight on Sheriff; Volinia is reported
as giving twenty Republican majority
while Milton goes seventeen the other
way. In Wayne the Republicans
have 80 majority on the whole ticket,
with the exception of Sheriff, Mr..
Marshall having only Is majority in
this town.

In conformity to a well-established custom, !
have thought proper to designate, and / hereby
appoint Thursday, the twenty fifth day of Novem-
Der, as day of general Thanksgiving and Praise
to Almighty God.
On that day earnestly invite the good people of
this State to assemble in their several places Of
worship and mike public and grateful acknow-
Judgement of the goodness of Divine Providence,
which has brought MS safely through another year
with blessings and mercies innumerable. Let us
be thankful for propitious seasons in which the
fruits of the earth have been rlpened and been
gathered to supply our wants; for peace and tran
guilty; for the tolerance of free thought and free
discussion; for the undated zeal which animates
our people to educate and enlighten, and thus
elevate and improve all classes for the love Of
liberty and the desire to perpetuatc free nstitu
ton. which prevails; for the serious thought
which so many have given to the duties they owe
their Maker and their fellow men, and which has
prompted the resolution 'sto do Justly, love mercy
and walk humbly before God" And let us earn
estly implore continuance of the blessings which
have been showered so abundantly upon our favored
land
In witness whereof, have hereunto subscribed
my name and caused the Great Seal O.
LIS. the State to be affixed at the Capitol in
Lansing, this twentieth day Of October
in the year of our Lord one thousand eigh
hundred and fffy-eight.

Cable across the Niagara.

AS we go to press, submarine tele-
graph cable is being laid across the
Niagara, by the Montreal Telegraph
Company. The cable, we are informed,
is portion of that employed in the
Gulf of New Foundland, but abandoned
on account of being too heavy. 1t is
wound upon large reel, which was
placed on scow, and towed by
steam tug across the river The cable
is about one inch and half in dame
ter, and contains three conducting
wires, each one being thoroughly insu-
lated. Its weight and strength is pc
culiarly fit for the swift current of the
Niagara. Its length is something over
three-fourths of a mile. The machinery
employed in the submersion is the same
that has been used by the same Com
pany in laying cables in the St. Law
renee and other rivers.
The Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail-
way Company will use one of the con-
Quoting wires In the present cable, the
Montreal Telegraph Company second,
and the other is to spare. Mr.. Postie,
the master of repairs of the above
Telegraph Co., has the process of sub
mersion under his direction. The con-
nection with the Montreal Telegraph
Company, from this side, has, hereto
fore, been effected at the Suspension
Bridge. This change will doubtless
add to the business of the Company.
The cable connects with the American
lines at the Union Telegraph Office in
Browns buildings.-Bs.falo CONNER

The Second District.

The result in this District is very
gratifying. The reelection of Mr..
Waldron is hailed with unfeigned joy
by every lover of Freedom throughout
the entire State. Every County in the
District is entitled to all praise. Even
in Monroe, where the election was con-
tested inch by inch, he has majority
OF 60. And Lenawee, the home of MIR.
Stacy, has reiterated her former virdict
against Slavery and the Slave Power,
by 1920. Had other portions of the
State done equally as well, the Repub-
licans of the First District would not
now regret the defeat of Mr.. Howard,
who has SO well and ably represented
them during the past three terms.

-ProntabIe Hint ForcfbIy Uttered
There is serious food flor thought,
and some not undeservedssreproach in
the suggestion of the Albany Journal,
that the Republican press and Repub-
|lican politicians of the North expend
too much of their energies in contro-
VERSES with the South. Our worst and
most dangerous. enemies..are not to be
found south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Not friend of slavery, nor foe to
freedom there can aid the one or injure
the other half as efficiently or seriously
as the northern allies of the slave pow
er. And we may entreat or denomce
the Toombses, and Stephenses, until
doomsday, without serving the cause Of
Liberty or obstructing the career Of
Slavery to any more purpose. The
South understands this matter. Their
attack in front is merely fcint to keep
us watching them SO closely that We
shall have no eyes for the men who, in
our midst, are undermining the founda-
tons of Freedom upon Free Soil. They
draw our fire, and SO save the sappers
and miners they maintains I'm our own
fortress.
Toombs, and Keitt, and Hammond,
are only too happy to set themselves up
as targets, if thereby we are kept from
drawing drigger upon the traitors
in our midst. Freedom has suffered
nothing and is not threatened by any
representatives not returned from free
States. The only potent enemies Free
dom has, live upon Free Soil and enjoy
the wages of Slavery upon Free Soil
1t is time the license to 60 to Wash
ington and do dirtier work for Slavery
than Slavery viii do for itself, with i'm
punity to the Dirt-eater, was revoked
But for these Northern Swiss, Kansas
would this day be member of the
confederacy, and free at that. Southern
votes did not enact the English Swim
dle--Northern Dirt-eaters did that.

that the county is true to herself
and true to her principles, and though
our vote has fallen off badly in some
towns, yet there is majority enough
left to show that it is in no possible
danger of ever falling into the hands
of the Democracy.
