NNAN u .GANA ANA AAAa IaAA@AN AANA-~NN
The table published few days since from
the Cincinnati Gazette giving the official and
reported nsjOrities from most of the counties
Of the State for Supreme Judge, was so errO-
neous in many of its figures as to swell the
majority Of Judge BrinkerhoG beyond what
the facts warrant. The State Journal, of the
nth, publishes the official vote on the State
ticket from 6s counties, which gives Brinker-
hsff majority of 1880. In addition, the
Journal has the majorities reported to be
official, in counties and in the remaining
II counties it puts down the majOrities the
same as lest year, which makes Brinkerhoti
a net majority in the State of 1885.
In the 6s counties whose official vote is
given, Mr.. Murray, for Attorney General has
a majority Of "a, lTO over Mr.. Stambaugh.
Mr.. Hutcheson, Bell candidate, has 4,547

TIE Republicans in Washington City were
in high feather the night of the October cleo
tons. Their Head-Quarte.s were crowded,
and the successive dispatches from Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana were vociterOusly
cheered. The Washington Star, Douglas or
gan, gives an amusing description Of the
scene. It says:
Republicanism has apparently been getting
amazingly popular as the prospects of Lin
coins election have frightened, and we hear
that the accessions to the Republican ranks
have been so overwhelming lately that the
original Jacobs have insisted that the books
should be closed, lest their claims should be
lost sight of altogether in the mob of these
eleventb-hOur labOrers. Il was amusing to
hear the calculations of surprise as different
parties met in the rooms who the ID
would have thought Of seeing you here =
sHellol thought saw you behind that bell
at ROckvilleP When did you leave the
Breckenridge crowd Thought you was
for Douglas Tnunderi you RePubli-
CAM Times have changed since you was in
the mob that waz going to tear down the
Era ofice'-and so on"
At noon Of the 18th the Republicans fred
one hundred guns from the Potomac directly
in front Of the Presidential mansion. 1t has
been customary for Ordnance Department
to grant the use of gun to the politicians
for their Publications, upon their giving
proper security 3or the return Of the piece
The Republicans made application for the
favor always accorded to Democrats, but the
Department and Secretary Of War fatty re-
fused The 4th of March viii give such
narrow-minded, partizan officials a starting as
well as startling volley.

TIC Rer. mr.. Rewier Hung.

We published paragraph some days age
from the St. Louis Christian Advocate, sta
ting that the report that the Rev. Nj. BeWley
had been hung in Texas for abolitionism, was
incorrect. He was under arrest but still liv-
ing. The St. Louis News Of the 18th, learns
that Mr.. B. was taken to Fort Worth, tried
by s mob and hung 1t will be recollected
that Mr.. Bewley was 4 devoted Methodist
Minister who was put under the ban by the
pro-slavery rutians Of Texas, that be escaped
from Texas to Missouri, but was subsequent
" captured in the lower part Of the State and
taken back. A correspondent of the New,
in Crawford county, Mo-, who knew Mr.. Bew-
ley well, states that be was Anti-Slavery in
bis views, but an honest sincere, humble
and devoted Christian. Such is the "Barba-
rism" Of American Slavery.

DouEIas and Lecompton.

The statement of the Kansas Democrats
who helped form the LecOmptOn Constitution
that Gen. Calhoun acted in the matter in
obedience to a letter of suggestions and in
struetions from Senator Douglas, is too
astrong meat for the Douglas Dealer and
Statesman. They won't believe IT, and
protest that it is a 'roorback." The state
ment was published at Leavenworth and
Washington City from week to ten days
ago, and was endorsed as reliable as well as
damning to Douglas by the Washington Con-
stitution, the naiontal organ of the DemOcra-
ey. Rumors have been current on the sub
ject for months previous, and Mr.. Douglas has
had ample time to contradict them if false,
before and since the statement Of the Kansas
associates of Calhoun was made public.

Tbe Fusion Failure in pennsylvania.

The Philadelphia Press, Col. FOrneys pa
per, comedies the election Of Curtin for Gov
ernor by 1900 majority in Pennsylvania,
and SAYS the result demonstrates more con-
clusively the folly Of any attempt to unite
the Anti-Lincoln organization, composed re-
spectively of the friends of Douglas, Bel
and Breckenridge, upon a common joint-stoek
electoral ticket, than any comments the Press
can make. It adds that "there was a more
complete and cordial fusion in favor of Gen.
Foster than can be expected for any mongrel
Presidential combination, yet he was defeated
by much larger and more decisive mHjoriiy
than Pennsylvania has ever given, siL-et the
days of Jackson, against any State candidate
IN the October elections which have preceded
Presidential contests.
