The Election.


Elections have been held this week in several States
In PENNSYLVANIA the result appears to have been dis
astrous to the administration Democrats This we an
ticpated for reasons which took occasion to state
last week. There is no denying the fact that disorganl
cation prevails to considerable extent throughout e
North. There is one good feature however. Apart
from the efforts of personally dissatisfied politicians who
qcant split there is really irreconcieable BREACH
and there is abundant time between the present date
and that of the next great contest to restore har
mony Besides, the difficulty arises upon an issue
which must pass away within the next year. Kan
sas cannot come in under any other arrangement
than that provided in the English Bill-for this
circumstances provide certain guarantee. The terrific
rial legislature will not meet before January. 10 pass
bill calling Convention to form CONSTITUTIONAL
give due notice of the holding of the election for dele
gates to such C0nventiOn-tO receive and verify re-
turns-for the Convention to meet and form Constt-
tiOn-to have that Constitution published and voted
upon by the people and the returns of that canvased
and acted upon and the Constitution framed and rat
ifed sent on to Washington with application for adj
misson-a these things will require too much time to
render possible any movement in that direction during
the short session of the present Congress- and before the

The idea to which some journals and veracious letter
writer's appear anxious to give currency to the effect
that Mr. Buchanan seeks denomination appears to be-
and no doubt is wholly chmerical There is evidently
nothing in it, We still lean to the belief that crcum
stances favor if indeed, they do not actually point to
the nomination OF Southern presidential candidate
The Democrats are uniformly successful in the cleo
tions held at the South. They have carried Florida
handsomey-have succeeded in the municipal election in
Savannah and are in the ascendant in every State from
Mason & Dixons line to the Rio Grande The State of
Maryland, even outside of the mob-controled city of
Baltimore, gives Democratic majority We look for
restoration of Democratic harmony and efficiency by

lodgings for Boots,

Lodgings Boots.
A short time age one OF our citizens who loves his
joke about as well folks usually do, had occasion to
visit one of the small towns in the interior of the State
and knowing he would have considerable walking over
muddy roads, he took with him pair of long rubber
boots He arrived at his destination about o'clock in
the evening" and upon inquiry he found the only tavern
in the place half mile from the station No con-
veyance to be had and the road muddy in the
extreme. Congratulatng himself on having his long
boots, he set off, and found the mud in spots
deep, his boots were barely long enough He reached
the hotel at last looking rather soed about the feet
After supper, he inquired the charge for lodgings.
We usually charge" answered the landlord who
also had some fun in his composition, " twenty-five
cents but if goes to bed with such boots them
on" pointing to his customers feet we charge him
fifty cents"
"a very good idea, l should Think" returned the
traveller.
After half hours conversation the landlord showed
him to his room and they parted for the night mutually
pleased with each other The next morning our friend
arose late, and nqurng for the landlord learned that be

her husband returned.

down yet?' he asked.
Yes" answered his wife, " and he has gone away
He paid fifty cents for his lodging, and said under the
circumstances it was right"
The ID he did p exclaimed the landlord rushing
up stairs. His wife followed to learn the meaning OF
such strange proceeding, and found her husband WIN
the bedcothes turned down. and her best bed looking
more fit to plant potatoes in than it did for any human
being to sleep in."
You saw that man when he came here last night
said her husband.
Yes"
" You saw his boots, didn't your"

A few days after, the traveller on his return home
put up again at the tavern. Neither himself nor
the landlord said anything about the boots which were
in about the condition as on the previous Occa

his boots with much anxiety. About ten O'Clock Us
