The October Eiections-Is6O.

We are highly graified TO announce to
our readers that all the elections of this
month, in the free States, have resulted
gloriously for the Republican cause. We
cannot of course, say what will be next
year, but one thing is certain. There la:
been no period for twelve years, when the
country has presented so strong from
against the pro-slavery democracy, on the
eve of presidential election, as now. Fol-
while in the summer of 1856, we hoped
the north would get so fully aroused that
possibly Fremont might get the election
but we were never sanguine, and we never
have, nor did we then deceive our readers
by assuring them that the election would
result different from what it did. The
States which have just voted would have
defeated Buchanan, at that time. No,c
we feel confident that a wise nomination
will unite the north, and freedom can make
her first national triumph in 1860. We
shall not undertake to say at this time who
should be the Republican candidate. But
to ensure success the battle next year must
be fought in the north, AS 1T HAS BEEN IN
THE SEVERAL STATES FOR TWO YEARS
FAST.
If we are all to set up our personal feel
ings and notions, as 10 how the canvass
shall be conducted, we may perhaps fight
good battle, but it will not be success
and consequently of no practical import
ance. We do not mean by this any letting
down of the Republican standard. On the
other hand the Republican banner of 1856
must be kept up-and by this we mean the
battle can be fought otherwise.
But we commenced this to give the facts
Of the October elections. PENNSYLVANIA
has gone against sham democracy by from
g to 10000 majority. The Republicans
of Iowa have won another complete tri-
umph on State and legislature, by some 2
or 5000 majority, The noble State o.
ONO rolls up 1900 majority And
last but not least, the Republicans have
carried MINNESOTA This insures cain
Of two members of the House of Represent.
atives and one U. s. Senator In INDIANA
which has been conceded to The democrats
the result is about even, but as the election
was for county officers only, no definite lig-
ures can be arrived at. The gains of the
Republicans are conceded. This posts the
books for October.

plus and the other of supplying his wants
at regular and stated periods. The farmer
can raise such crops or stock as his farm is
best adapted, exclusively, and not be forced
to raise a little of everything which he
wants /; and at market he can sell what he
raises and with the proceeds buy such 9th.

casion is but the commencement Of areforn

INDIANA.-We have the results, in
journals of all parties, of the recent Elec.
ton In Indiana, in about two-thirds of the
Counties. The vote was moderate,th be.
ing only County officers elected but the Re-
publican gains are nearly uniform, and the
Republican cause triumphs in large ma
Jority of the Counties. Never, save in the
single year of 1854, on the heel of the pas-
sage Of the Nebraska bill, have the Repub-
licans done so well in that State.

| DIABoLIcAL.-The most infamous and
diabolical act of wickedness which it has
bcfcll our lot to record since we have beer
connected with the press, took place IN
r. aiding on Wednesday Of last week. The
scoundrers name is jonathan Doe, alias
James Deakman, and is the same who was
recently tried for assault for choking wo-
man at Rockingham, where the lawyers
did not get through with the case till some
Of the small hours of Sunday morning
The next that we hear of this rascal he
was at Upper Falls, (Weaiher'field) call
ing up people, frightening women and max
ing foolish inquiries generally. Next, on
Wednesday of last week, in broad day
light he committed the crime of rape, at
the house of Ferdinand Hawkins, in Read
ing. Mr.. Hawkins, who is deputy sheriff,
was absent with his family, and had left
the premises in charge of Lydia c. Har.
low, servant girl, who was the victim of
the most brutal lust. He entered the
house and called for some water which was
furnished. Soon after he rose, saying he
must be going" instead of which he APP
preached the girl sayiag he was going TO
kiss her. She resisted and then despei-
ate struggle commenced. He seized her
around the waist holding both her arms,
and step by step he forced her up a flight
of stairs, the struggle lasting half or three
quarters of an hour. Her screams were
heard by neighbor at some distance. AT
length she became exhausted and he sue
ceeded in his base purpose. He kept her
his prisoner more than an hour, and then
left. Mr.. Hawkins returned and on learn
ing the state of things, and after a brief
consultation with his brighter, j. O., who is
a lawyer at Felchville, started in pursuit Of
the villain, accompanied by two assistants.
They traced him to what is called the
Chase place in remote part, and out of
tiiC way ptuSS AT tV"hs "hCAC hC N"c f|uha'
To make sure work, sentinels were placed
outside the house and he was seized and
bound and Immediately taken before justice
Felch, examined that night and bound up
to County Court in the sum of $1,000, the
court closing about ? o'clock Thursday
morning. He gave his name at first as
Jonathan Doe, but afterwards said it was
James Beakman, that he had resided at St.
townsville, Montgomery Co., N. Y, and
had an only sister residing in one Of the
hotels at Rutland. He is said to be State
prison bird already, and his lodgings at
Windsor, we trust are sure.
Sheriff Hawkins took him 10 Jail at
Woodstock on Thursday where he was put
in the lowest cell by the jailor. The pub
lie are certainly much indebted to the sher-
iff and J. @. Hawkins for the promptness
with which they brought the miserable
wretch to justice.

But little business done in either house,

In the House there was some debate on
a motion by Mr.. Colby of Hartland, to
strike out the rule providing for The print

AnImnortantsusf

An interesting and important suit came off
In the Chancery court of Franklin county, at
Winchester, last week. 1t was the case of
WV. NJ. CHURCHwELL., Trustee, VS.. The ALiso-
ma Manufacturing Company. and involved the
question whether the sale of bonds at great
er discount than legal interest is usurious.
1t appears that the Alisonia Manufacturing
Company issued bonds to the amount of
100000. and that they were bought by Mr..
SELDEN, banker of Washington, Mr.. CHURCH.
WE'LL negotiating the sale on behalf of the
Company. AS security for the payment of
the interest and redemption of the bonds. the
Company gave mortgage upon their proper
ty at AIlisonia, Mr.. CHURcHwELL being the
Trustee. The property, thus mortgaged,
was sold for the benefit Of other creditors.
The suit was TO recover the property for the
benefit of SELDEN. and the plea of usury was
putin by the defendants, the bonds having
been sold SELDEN for Csc in the dollar. The
Court rendered decision in favor of the
plaintiff. Counsel for the plaintiff, Messrs.
MEIGs. ofNasbville, KEEBLE, of Murfreesboro'
and TRIGG. of Knoxville; for the defendant,
Messrs, SNEED, of Knoxville, HoUsTON, of
Nashville, and CoLYAR, of Winchester.

The war upon the Banks.

The Gallatin Examiner, whose editor is
democrat of the straightest sect, since the
election, rcnews the war upon the banks in
vigorous style, 1t now charges that the
banks are refusing to make loans 10 the bust
ness men in the community. in order to show
the Legislature that they control the money
interests of the State, and to produce such a
condition of affairs as will force the Legisa-
ture to perpetuate their privileges Upon this
hypothesis the Examiner bases the conclusions
that there is no other remedy but the total
extinction of banks and that conclusion il
thus expressed:
avoid of cOnscience-tenantless of soul
with cunning as far reaching as that of a
Jesuit-they will leave no stone unturned to
perpetuate their existence. There is but one
remedy, and that is total extinction. 1t is
nonsense to talk of continuing them under
proper restriction" They will ever master
the people and have their feet upon their
necks. Hydra-lke--even with their heads
of, they can spring into renewed life in some
other guise. They must be- first severed from
their bodies and then scared with a hot IRON
and this only will ensure safety to the
people,
