The Recent Elections.

IA contemporary, in speaking OF there
suit of the recent elections, very truthful
ly remarks that the glory of the Lecomp-
ton administration has departed. and its
power gone. Just look at il, for mo-
ment. In Cincinnati, where Buchanan
had 5000 majority, upon this Lecomp-
ton issue his party is beaten nearly 1000.
This question was made strict party
test-this was the issue and nothing else.
In Columbus, Cleveland, Sandusky city,
and in all the leading towns in the State,
the party has been beaten by the same
overwhelming majorities. In the State
of Connecticut, where but year ago,
they carried the State. they are now defeat
ed by great majoritits.
And SO It will be everywhere. The
people Of the United States are not pre-
pared to 60 the lengths of degradation
and servility that was demanded at their
hands, by the slave drivers Of the South.
No administration, since the organization
Of the government, has made such per-
feet failure as that ofJames Buchanan
All the leading men Of the nation have
deserted him. and none are left 10 COM
fort him in his devotion to the slave pow
er, but the men who are held by the ad-
hesive power Of plunder. No admins
tration was ever SO corrupt. No other
President ever attempted to coerce those
who were holding Office under him to
wink at frauds and perjuries, or remove
them from Office because they would not
bow to this degrading vassalage.
Each coming election will give new de-
monstrations of the peoples condemna-
ton ofthis corrupt and dsgraceful ad-
minstration. .

The RINa.-Two fiery students at
Oberlin College had falling out the 9th
er day. Lovely woman was of course the
cause. Having conscientious scruples
against due!ling, they resolved to adjust
the difficulty by an appeal to the code fs-
tic, or, as we think we have heard it call
ed, "the, manly art Of self defensc."-
They accordingly met with their seconds
in lonely COW pasture about two miles
from the College. They fought nine
rounds, and with a skill, zeal and vigol
that might have elected the admiration
Of Belcher Kay or Upton Slasher. One
Of the parties was very badly whipped,
and victory consequently pearched upon
the banner Of the other party. What
makes the matter SO particularly racy is
the fact that the lovely woman above al
luded to is mulatto. '''

Compliment to MIR. Mott.

The Ohio State Journal Republican
at the close of a long article denouncing
the proposition Of the democrats to take
the appointing power from the Governor
in certain cases. in order to provide for
party favorites. pays the following hand
some compliment to Mr.. Mott, who
made an able speech against the meas
,ure: a 4f15a = }Fsv l64i LISA
Mr. Mott, the member from Wyandot,
made an able and manly speech yester-
day afternoon against the whole spawn,
and the advocates Of them made 70 reply
but withdrew them for more convenient
season. Mr. Mott is democrat, and we
believe him to be one OF the most honest
as he is one ofthe most able members in
the house. We say this. not because Of
his speech yesterday, but from observa-
ton during the entire session. The
speech yesterday, only confirmed what
we previously believed.

EyA few days ago diabolical at.

engineer Of the Cincinnati Type Foundry.
An internal machine was placed under

laid it upon the bench, when it exploded,

burned and the flesh about them much

condition. No clue has yet been had as

.8a DISTURBANCES AT A BAPTIsM.--The
rite of baptism was administered OF Sun
day, at Providence, to over fifty persons.
At Thurber's Pond, where number Of
persons from the Fourth Baptist Church
were immersed, about three thousand per-
sons were assembled, half Of whom were
Irish, as Miss Carroll, who was convert
ed from the Catholic to the Protestant
faith some time ago was one Of the per-
sons to be baptised. On entering the wa.
ter, says the Providence journal, she was
saluted with cries Of "kill her." "drown
her" &c., the crowd being with difficult
ty kept behind rope which was drawn
to keep them from the shore. After the
ceremony. the carriage which conveyed
Miss Carroll to her residence was follow
ed by large crowd Of Irish. The pres
ence Of the police, however, prevented
any further disturbance. az s0 ii'" -

DovETAILING MACnINE.-A citizen of
Boston has recently invented new meth
cd Of dovetailing, by which the use Of
hoops and nails is dispensed with in
manufacturing all kinds Of boxes. The
leading feature of the machine consists Of
a platform upon which rests a sliding ta-
BILE. furnished with four circular saws,
by which the entire pins and dovetails are
cut with surprising rapidity and precision.
Every mechanic knows. that dovetailing
with saw and chisel is an extremely slow
and tedious process, requiring skill and
care TO produce neat and perfect joint.
In cabinet work, the dovetailing Of draw
ers have always been an expensive item.
The uew machine dispenses with the la
Dor Of marking out and the use Of the
chisel. twill dovetail hundred draw.
ers in an hour, cutting the mortise with a
precision which insures perfection in eve
ry joint.

SURRENDER OF BILLY BowLEes.-The
Madison (Fla.) Messenger has reliable in
formation that Billy Bowlegs "has sur.
rendered his sword, and is now at Tampa

nation Of arrangements now being made,
to be transferred to the west. 1t is said
the old gentleman was in shocking rag
ged and dirty condition when he present

SUPPORT YOUR HOME PApER.-An ex-
change talks thus sensibly upon the duty
Of supporting home papers: Recollcct if
a home weekly paper is to be supported,
home influence must do it. Every dollar
sent to eastern papers is at the expense Of
the local papers, A county acquires
prominence through its paper more than
in any other way, and to every one who
has county interests at stake, his home
paper is necessity. Never will such a
man take apaper printed away from home
until he is able to take second paper
His FIST paper will be his home sheet, land
he will SO indemnity his own interests with
that Of his county paper, as to consider
his subscription as much matter Of year.
