A CheeSlpe 1e eilectiOns

The Democrats Of Davenport Town
ship may console themselves with the
reflection, that they did their whole
duty, at the late election. If every
other election district in Iowa has
done as we'll, the State has been tri-
umphantly redeemed, regencrated
and discnthralIcd." The Republican
majority for Secretary Of State in 1858
was tour hundred and seventy t,oo.-
Now kirkwood's majority is tire
hundred and thirty. four, being a
Democratic gain OF ONE HUNDRED AND
rnIKrY-EIGHT, in poll of two thous-
and and two votes. The Republican
majority for Secretary of State in
1853, was three thousand, five hun
drcd and forty-eight. The whole
vote cast was ninety four thousand
seven hundred and twenty-five.

The official returns OF Davenport
Township show, that Mr.. RirkWood,
the Republican candidate for Govern
or, received l1C8 votes i; and that Mr..
Rusch received 1904 votes, being
sepnty four votes less than pollod for
Mr.. HARDWOOD. Mr.. Ruch's majority
over Mr.. Rabbit is but tuo hundred
and serenity votes, while Mr.. Kirk
woods majority over Gen. Dodge is
three hundred and Mirty-tour.
1t must be remembered, that some
Democrats scratched Rabbit and vo-
ted for Rusch. This shows q still
greater detection upon the part Of Mr..
Knsch's american friends, than the
! figures in the return indicate. Upon
the whole, Mr.. Rnscl and the Repub
lican Germans have been most shame
fully treated by the Republicans, in
whose service they volunteered three
years ago. We doubt not, that the
official returns for the County will ev-
hibit like deception in other districts.
II the scales do not now fall from the
eyes Of the Germans Of Scott county,

true light, We opine it would be be-

they got off on the third attempt at

inside; Ike Cook lying outside, AMI
Princess in the middle. Flora took
up the lead at once, carrying Ike Cook
off his legs at the first turn, aud rolled
along up the back stretch, about half
distance ahead Before reaching
the half mile, Princess who was going
stitly and not at all in her proper
form, Tapped Ike Cook, and gave hrm
the goaby, but failed ever to come near
Flore, who by this time was getting
through the third quarter in sly
which delighted every body, and Gauss

AS she swung into the home, ali eyes
were inten.ly tixeA on the one object,
and as she came du"n tue last quar-
ter home, her wonderful rapidity OF
action excited tumultuous shout of
admiration, and cries to McMann to
"shut them ont :" This she did, Ike
Cook and Princess having been eased,
and at least distance and half off

best time ever made on a st. Lonis

faster than Lady Sutfolk's best time.

having been on the stand, the three
came again, and got off we'll together
Flora led to the turn with Ike Cook
at her wheels, and Princess tolerably
well up. Here Flora and Ike Cook
both skipped, but both got down
again directly, and settled to their
work in beautiful style, the mare
drawing away from hi. clear two
lengths. Princess in difficulties, and
nowhere in the pace, it being evident
now that she was not right or not per-
mitted to 60. Up to the half mile
pole Flora led merrrily, with the Chi

looking up for the chances; in this or
der they got through the draw gates,
where she made one OF her extraordin-
airy dashcs and finished in 2'25b, beat

another Of the quick heats on record.
Princess was now withdrawn by Mr..

Ike Cook close up, and failed ever to

stretch with a clear lead Of four or five
lengths. Here an accident occurred
to Eotf's sulky, (a very light one,
weighing but fifty-five pounds) and

to be found, pursuing the humble oc-
equations OF butchers and toll gather

dark shadows which passed over these
royal houses Of England, left undim-

10 Herefordshire, q county peculiarly
rich in ancient families, there are, it is

Bernard Burke, "that the more dis

Barnard Burke, has had her full share
Of family vicissitudcs while in Ire
land he tells US, there is scarcely a
family or seat that has not shared
deeply in those feverish changes and
calarNities. Few descendants Of the
royal blood OF ireland are to be met
with in the Iiish pcerage. The real
representatives Of the Milesian races
are to be found in the Austrian,

The FATE or SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AND Hrs
PAKTY.-The mystery which has so long
surrounded the fate Of Sir John Franklin's
third aud last expedition to the Arctic re.
gious has been cleared up by the return Of

which was sent out through the persevers.

and OF the departure OF the survivors Of the
party. lO5 in number, to Great Fish River.
One Of these vessels was crushed in the ice,
and the other driven on shore Sir John
Franklin having died about two months
previous to the disaster.
Franklin sailed with his party Of 1873
picked men on the 18th of May, ls45 the
last Dispatch from him was dated Whslefish
Island in the following July, and he was
last seen about the came time by whsler.

stated in his communication to the Admi.

ty white men travelling southwark over the
ice, and dragging boat with them The
men then we're in destitute and pitiabls
condition. and later in the season the bod
les Of some thirty five were discovered on
the continent and an adjacent island, and
DR.. Rae brough home memorials from tn,
spot which fully Unidentified the party wi,
the expedition.
While Lady FRANKLIN after years Of n
