Coop SIGNS IN VIRGINIA.-The
Richmond Wing gives spirited reply
to its neighbor, the South, from which
we extract the following noteworthy
paragraphs:
"The South is very nearly accurate
when it says that the hopes of the Wing
are based exclusively on the chance of
rallying all the elements of opposition in
a compact body against the Democratic
nominees And that is the very thing
we expect to be able to effect. At least,
we shall labor for it and pray for it with
hearty good will. We are tired of
Democracy and Democratic misrule.-
We are disguised with its vices, its cor
ruptions, its abomrnations. We want a
new and better order of things. And
almost any change, in our judgment,
would be for the better.
Like the Southern Democracy, we are
disposed to let 'bygones be bygones,'
and to take the chances in the same boat
with the elements of opposition in the
North and the South, in the East and in
the West. The South and its party at
the South are willing to unite with the
Anti-Lecompton, Free Soil Democrats
at the North, in support Of the same
candidate for the Presidency. Follow
ing their example, we are no less willing
to unite with the Anti-Lecompton Wings
and Americans at the North, in the sup
port of conservative, national candidates
for the next Presidency. Nor will there
be the least difficulty, we think, in franz
ing ticket which shall command the
undivided support of all the elements Of
opposition, from Maine to California
The prospect for such a contamination
is bright enough at present, and we trust
nothing will occur to mar it,

STATE TICKET.
Kansas Election.

The election in Kansas took place on the
lst inst. There were no state offices
to I'll, and the only question before the
people was whether they would accept
the English Lecompton swindle, or re-
ject it. 1t will be remembered by our
readers what the provisions Of that bill
were. 1t was 10 refer the Lecompton
Constitution to the people with the bride
of 100000 acres offered them if they
would vote to accept it, and Kansas was
to be admitted to the union by proclama
ton Of the President, otherwise it was to
remain territory until it had a popula-
ton sufficient to give them Represen-
tatiye in Congress. In other words Kan
sas could be admitted as n slave state
with forty thousand people, or she could
come in as a free state when her popula-
ticn numbered near three times that
That insulting offer it was hoped by the
administration would be accepted, aud
Kansas would be bought into the union
with 4 slave constitution after all efforts
to force her in had signally failed. But
her people have spurnel the base bride,
and that too, By an overwhelming major
ity. The gratifying result Is before the
country, and before this time James Bu-
chanan and his contemplate vassals have
been appraised Of the result. Had not the
Democracy of Orleans County better
have jollifcation over the result Of this
election?
Below is the result ofthe vote by coun-
ties as far as heard from:
Atkinson county gives 327 majority
against the English proposition.
Doniphan county gives 568 majority
against it.
Quindaro gives Is votes for and I4G
against it.
Delaware gives 65 for and 100 against
1t.
The vote in Laramie was 4 accepted,
us rejected and in Franklin 8 accept
ed and IS rejected.
Complete returns Of Leavenworth
county give majority of 1748 against
the Bill.
Partial returns from Shawnee, John
son and Franklin counties increase the
majority against the Bill to 1904. The
total vote Of these counties, as received
it G646.
1t is thought the whole vote of the
Territory will reach $4,000, and the OPP
ponents Of the Bill claim majority o.
5000.
Topeka cast 24G votesagainst the Bill
10 Cor it.
Lecompton gave 122 against the Bill
26 for it.
Nothing has been received yet from
the Southern and Western counties.

HON. E. p. WALTON RENOMINATED.
We are glad to learn that the Hon. Z.
2. Walton has been renominated as can
didate for Congress in the ID district
Mr.. Walton has served one term already,
and that he made an active, efficient
member, is well attested by his unani-
nous denomination to serve his constitu-
ents again in the same capacity. lie is
an interchangeable and untiring worker.
The Hon. J. S. Morrill, was also nom
mated as candidate in the 1st Congress-
ional District. Good. He has already
served two terms and we are happy to
learn that his constituents are determined
to keep him in Congress. He is one of the
most talented men in the State, and we
we hope to see the people adopt the prac-
tice of the South in keeping our most
able men in Office, and not continue the
foolish one OF kicking a man out because
he has had it his complimentary term.
That has been the almost universal
policy o. the North. With few excep-
tions,-such men as Webster, Hale, Sew
ard, ard few other stars-they have all
had to be thrust aside for new men, and
often for ones of lesser ability. This
rule we wish to see discarded, and Mr..
Morrill's constituents have set the exam
pie.

No Need Of New Organization.

The Watchman and State Journal
has a lengthy reply TO the fear ex-
pressed that tie cause of Freedom is in
danger from a disintegration of the Re
publican party, and the formation Of an
other, upon broader but not sounder
platform. The Vatchmon says;
"This fear is fomented industriously
by the enemy, who are careful to note
and exaggerate every suggestion which
will help them to divide or discourage the
Republicans, or to sow the seeds of jeal-
ousy and dissension. Their purpose
nobody can doubt; it is simply to per-
petuate the tyranny which the people
are bent upon prostrating-by keeping
the Government and the country in the
clutches of the clique that now uses the
one to abuse the other. The organs of
President Buchanan-such as the BoS-
ton Post, for instance-are very solicit
Gus, forsooth, for the integrity of the
Republican party. We think the Re-
publicans will be apt to appreciate the
sympathy of the Post, and of all other
journals Qike the POST under the pay
of the President.
There are two sorts of people from
whom the slaveocrats hope to receive, aid
and comfort in resisting or dividing the
Republicans. The first is, those who
are called, or call themselves, Radical
Aboltionists, and who think that the Re-
publicans do not go quite fast and far
enough to suit there convictions of duty
or their zeal against slavery; and the
other sort is those Americans, who think
the Republicans go too fast and too far
in the warfare against slavery. Both
classes, and for the identical reasons
above stated, refused to support Fremont
in 1856, cast scattering votes, and a5so-
Jtstely permitted the election of 1Er. BIT
chanan. Let US see: the sum total Of
votes in the Union for Fremont, Fill
more, and scattering, was 1929 96

CYRUS W. FIELD.
IMr. Fields Explanations to the Press
and the Public
TRINITY BAY, Aug. s.

TRINITY BAY, Aug. 8.
Pray excuse what you may have
thought neglect on my part in not giving
more particulars about the laying of the
Cable, but I have hardly had time to
eat, drink, or sleep. Mr.. Mckay, the
Superintendent of the New York and
Newfoundland Telegraph line, has been
working day and night to get everything
ready.
The people here seem to have had lit
tie faith in the Cables arriving, and had
made very slight preparation for receiv-
ing it.
The end of the Atlantic Cable was
landed on the Irish shore from the Nj
agara on the 9th of August, 1857, and
the other end from the same vessel on
the 9TH Of August, 1853. The heavy
shore-ends laid from Valentia by the Nj
agara last year still remains, and was to
be spliced on to the main Cable, so that
both ends Of the Gable hare been actually
laid By the Niagara!
The Telegraph fleet sailed from Ply
mouth on the experimental trip on the
29th of May. The Cable was broken
at the first attempt to lay it on the 29th
of June, and the splice in mid-ocean on
the last and successful attempt, on the
29th of July.
Hoping to soon see you,
remain very truly
Your friend,

Shocking Affair.

While two sons of Chauncy Donald
son, aged respectively Is and 20 years
of age, were hunting ducks in the marsh
in West Swanton, on Thursday of last
week, they rowed their canoe near a
flock Of ducks and agreed between them,
that one should fire his gun at the ducks
while on the water and the other while
on the wing. In order to do this, as the
boat was situated, the younger brother
was obliged to lower his head, and the
elder brother was to fire his gun over il.
The elder not firing his gun as soon as
was antici pated in the heat of excite
ment, discharged it as the younger broth
er, Chauncy, was raising his head from
its inclined position and some of the
shot passed through his neck, and the
unfortunate youth survived long enough
to inquire who was to blame" and
died. A physician was called who on
examination could find no shot. nor any
traces of them in his head, but attributed
his immediate death to the conclusion
of the BRAIN, occasioned by his nearnesa
to the muzzle of the gun as it was dis
charged. The afflicted father as we
learn, was nearly paralyzed on receiving
the intelligence of his sons decease and
the attending circumstances.-,S. Adams

CAN A MAN BE HIS Own GRAND

affirmative. There was a widow and

son. The widow married the son, and
the daughter the old man the widow
was therefore mother of her husbands
father, consequently grandmother to her

Or take the electoral vote, which stood
Buchanan ia, Fremont ia, Fill
more s; deduct the 50 votes carried for
Buchanan by those who voted for Fill
more and scattering, add them to the op-
position columns, and the results would
have been as follows: Opposition 157,
Buchanan 139. Thus it was IN the poacer
of the opposition to have defeated Mr..
Buchanan in 1856, and to have saved
the country from the outrages upon the
freedom and the rights Of the people,
upon the Constitution, and upon the coun-
try, that have characterized Mr.. Buch-
anan'S administration. All where is
there one Abolitionist, one American,
one independent Democrat, who now
thinks that such salvation was not worth
securing? We doubt whether even one
such man can be found to-day and all
we have to say is that the slavocracy
wish them to make the same mistake in
1860 that was made in 1856-wish an
other Slavocratic Administration, against
the will of the people-and wish and
hope to get just such another, through
the division and antagonism of those who
are really and heartily sick of the tyran-
ny and corruption that such an Admi-
nistration would perpetuate.
But as to the talk Of a new organize
ton, to displace the Republican party.
There is a little of such talk, outside of
the sham-Democratic editors-the navy
agents, pOst-masters and printers by fed
eral authOrithy. It comes mainly-and
very naturally too,-from editors who
were Fillmore men in 1856, and from
Wings, and ultra anti-slavery men as
well, who for different reasons, kept out
of the Republican party in 1856. We
say it is perfectly natural for such to de-
sire some new arrangement; for they
are ont Of position.
We think we can understand these gen.
tIemen they have none to foiIoao them,
just now; their vocation is gone-their
position is lo8t-and they intensity desire
a new party, which will count them in.
1t is all very natural these gentlemen
dislike the name Of Republican, because
they have been at war with Republi-
} cans. To be sure they see their error
and they would be glad to get rid of it
but acjtt0m repentance and conversion
They would get into the Republican fold
but any way rather than through the
front door. They must climb, up anc
in, some other way-and this new or
: ganization' is their chosen ladder. Nov
we are happy to say that in this emer
gency the Republicans universally seen
to be pursuing a wise course. Adherine
firmly to their own organization ant
principles, they yet say, in the very
spirit in which their organization wa
originally made, that they viii cheerful
ly receive all to their ranks, irrespectiv,
of former party distinctions, who will g
with them in the work to which they ar,
dedicated, and cheerfully cooperate Will
