SENATORIAL JoKE--A friend recently
from Washington related to US a little
incident that %transpircd a short time
ago in the Senate chamber, and which
made some amusement among the
members.
Mr.. Gillette, our Senator, sits near
Toombs of Georgia, and they fire.
quently pass a good humored joke.
A few mornings ago, just before the
Senate was called to order, while sew
eral Of the members we're standing
by, Toombs said to Gillette
They say, Gillette, that you abo-
litionists are mad with the Almighty
for making the niggers black" Your
informant is slightly mistaken re-
piled Gillette. we are only mad with
you shareholders for making them
white"
The allusion to the bleaching pro-
cess that is going on among the col.
ored population Of the South was at
once understood by all, and Toombs

SQUASH PIE.-Stcw squash the same
as you do pumpkin, allowing all the
water to dry away before taking it
from the fire. Pass it through a col
andcr, and add a little butter, or
sweet cream, and some new milk, but
not as much as for pumpkin pies stir
in a small tablespoonful of -four and
one egg to each pie; flavor with
ginger and nutmeg. Pies thus made
of the marrow squash have a close
resemblance to sweet potatoc pie.

The Election.

Election in this town passed of
with more quietude than usual. In
deed, the prevailing sentiment was SO
much on one side, there was not OPP
position enough to make the contest
interesting. Our Democratic friends
were very much in the predicamcnt Of
the niger at the prayer meeting, who,
noticing that petitions were being put
up for every one but himself, cx-
claimcd--"Brcsscd be dem what
'spects muffin, for dcy Amt g'winc to
be disappointed" Happy consolation
The Presidential votei in Floyd coun'
ty stands, Republican SOS !; Demo
cratic 200 ; giving the Republicans
36S majority. Last year the Repub
lican vote was 495, and the Democrat,
ic vote 2Sl--Rcpublican majority last
year 2l4--Rcpublican gain in Floyd
county, since last year, 73-Demo-
cratic loss, 81. This is a remarkable
change in the political aspect of the
county, and %surpasses the expectation
Of the most sanguinc Republican.
The highest estimated Republican ma
jority for this year was 500, and our
closest figurers could hardly bring it
to that. Many Democrats must have
voted for honest Old Abe who did not
wish the fact publicly known.
We have received returns from the
several townships in the county, as
follows:

"Old Abe at homc-March 4th, 1861"
elected much applause. Well done,

of the ease with which crowds were
collected in this country, he said /:
" He doubted whether the Prince of
Wales had ever seen such a crowd
before as the one that welcomed him
in New York, eren upon the occosion Of
The ~coronation Of Ills regal mothcr." As
the Prince was not born until about
three years after the coronation of
Queen Victoria, we think Mr.. Gerard
was safe in his comparison.
