The Burch Case.

This trial which is destined to occu-
ply a place in the criminal annals of the
country second only to the celebrated
Forest divorce case, is now in progress
at Naperville, Dupage Co., Illinois. 1t
is thought that it will occupy the court
for about three weeks and perhaps long
er. As yet nothing more criminal has
been proven against Mrs. Burch than a
desire to flirt with every man who could
he induced to pay her the least posi-
BILE attention. Speaking of the pro-
gress of this trial thus far the Chicago
Journal says
1t is sad, sad picture of wretched-
ness, whatever the issue it may have.
This throwing open a home to the pub
lie scrutiny, where all was supposed to
be happiness and comfort, and reveal
ing partial glimpses of other homes up
on which there are shadows, is no pleas
ing thought. 1t reveals some men in a
true light to the community, aud sub
serves the excellent purpose of expos
ing them to the scorn and just indigna
ton of the community. On the other
hand, it shows conclusively that pala-
tial mansions, rich dresses, liveried
servants, costly viands, splendid conser
vatories and bank bills are not indices
of happiness.

California and Oregon for Lincoln.


BY the arrival of the Pony Express
at Fort Kearney on Sunday the 25th
inst. We have Pacific news to Nov.
I4th.
The Political intelligence from Cali
fornia and Oregon are of the most
gratifying and cheering character.
Both States are set down as having
gone for Lincoln. The news is as fol-
lows:
SAN Francisco, Nov. 14th.-The
Presidential election returns still lack
5000 or 6 1000 votes of being complete.
The total vote returned is Hiss
Lincoln, 36,5S6 Douglas, $4,000 :;
Breckenridge, S1,2l6; Bell, s,O26-
Lincoln's majority over Douglas 596.
This is the most favorable account for
Douglas published, other authorities
placing him nearly 1000 behind Lin
coin. The balance of the returns will
probably reduce Lincoln's majority but
the State is generally conceded to have
gone Republican, though the official
count is required to settle all doubts.
A dispatch from Yerka, near Oregon,
on the 18th, says: Latest advices from
Oregon give ESQ maj. for Lincoln over
Breckenridge. Douglas was 600 be-
hind Breckenridge, with three small
counties to hear from, which cannot
much vary the result a
Returns from few of the principal
counties show donations on election
day, to the Washington Monument
Fund, to the amount of 1920, which
must be largely increase when full re-
turns are received.
1t is believed that majority of the
people of California voted against call
ing Constitutional Convention.
AT 8 o'clock to-day the Express ar
rived at Fort Churchell, whence the
news Of the result of the Presidential
election was sent to San Francisco, and
published in the extra Bulletin and
Alta Californian, before 8 o'clock
The news was expressed from ST. 10,
seph to the telegraph station in the un-
precedented time of six days. 1t pro.
duced sensation. The Republican
State Central Committee issued an ad.
dress urging general illumination OF
San Francisco tomorrow evening.
Nowhere has more significant rev.
olution taken place than in these
States; where, heretofore, bogus De
niocracy has held an iron rule. The re
suit there only adds to the popular YER
dict against the Democratic party. Al
sections of the country, except that de
voted to slavery, which modern De
mocracy has fostered to the exclusion
Of all other interests, have repubiated
that party which has now become still
further odious by lending itself to tn,
schemes Of the disunionists.

Pennsylvania Takes the Banner

The official returns of the election in
Pennsylvania are now complete, with
the exception of the small County of
Forest, which gave Curtin majority
of sixty. The result is simply amazing
The entire vote is Ats 900, figure Sc
slightly exceeding that of 1856, as to
supply a just basis of comparison.
The majority of Lincoln over the Fus-
ion ticket is 90, 622 over Douglas, 251, >
1853; over Bell, 255,764 over all op.
position 62,519. The majority against
the Republicans in 1856 was l65, oil
and we therefore learn that at least
$4,000 voters who were opposed al
that time to the Republicans, have
united themselves to that party, and as
sisted in raising Mr.. Lincoln to the
Presidency. extraordinary change
embracing as it does little less than one
half the voting population of the State,
has no precedent in political history.

TROUBLE IN THE CABINET.-There
are in all the Eastern papers apparently
well founded rumors of dissension in
the Cabinet, supposed to grow out Of a
diversity of opinion among the men,
bers on the subject of secession. II
has been the boast of Mr.. Buchanan
that during his stormy term Of office
his Cabinet has held together, 1t will
not be to his discredit if any of its
members now retire. because he is in
favor of maintaining the Constitution
and the laws.

Disgraceful Outrage.

An efigy of Mr.. Lincoln was hung
and burnt at Aiken, South Carolina, on
the 9Th. 1t was ridden on rail borne
by negroes, and minute men carried
torches on either side. The ladies of
the town waved handkerchiefs from the
windows as passed. After the hang
ing and burning, Captains Twang and
Minis addressed the crowd, and So
called generous citizen gave the crowd
a collation. at his residence.

The Fire-eaters make great buster
about being coerced by force into SUBJ
mission to Federal authority, and speak
of such thing as unbeard OF. They
claim that the people of State have
the right to go out or stay in the Union
as they please. 1t has even become
question with some whether Mr.. Blu
ehanan will employ force to maintain
authority over South Carolina, in case
she shall attempt to secede and break
ND the Government. To doubt that he
would do so, is to question his fidelity
to his duty and his solemn oath.
The secessionists seem to think it a
great outrage to force government on
people, contrary to their choice.
They may have forgotten the Border
Ruffian Legislature of Kansas, elected
by bands of armed men, sent by Slave.
holders from other States to drive away
citizens and stuff ballot-boxes with
fraudulent votes. They may not re
member the part Federal bayonet:
played in sustaining the DEGREES of the
men thus elected. Perhaps they have
even lost sight of the Lecompton Con
stitutional Convention, chosen by FRAUD
and wrong, which dare not assembl,
to frame Constitution without tn,
presence of Federal troops to protec
Its members from the people for whom
they assumed to provide government
We are safe in saying that no Southern
State, certainly the Disunionists of N
Southern State, ever objected to tn
means thus employed to force SLAYER
into Kansas.
Now, 1t seems to us, that if FEEDER;
power was proper in Kansas-in for,
ing upon her people governmer
which they rejected aud never desire
it would be far more appropriated
used in maintaining in South Carolin
government which was instituted
the free choice and for the benefit
her people, and under which hay
grown up interests and rights whic
would be sacrificed by her secession
To suppose that the administration tn:
sustained the Lecompton outrage wit
Federal power, will sickle at hangin
the traitors of South Carolina, shou
they attempt to destroy the Union,
too much. We have no very high es
mate of Mr.. Buchanan's patriotism
sagacity but we do not believe that
will see fit to make common cause wi
traitors who have no means of rewar
ing his in6delity. Pennsylvania won
be hot place for him after the 4th
March, should he hesitate to enfor
the authority of the government again
those malcontents.

az The Albany Standard mem
tons the death of young man, who
had contracted the habit of sucking
the pen with which he wrote. A few
days since, while using tooth brush,
he inflicted slight wound on his under
lip. Symptoms of erysipelas set in,
and on the afternoon of the next day,
after he was taken i'll, death terminated
his sufierings. His fatal malady was
produced by the poison in the ink he
sucked from his pen, penetrating the
slight abrasion on his lip. Most of the
inks in use are chemical compounds of
poisinous minerals, and should never be
touched to the lips or tongue.

az It is stated that the government
of the British East Indies has aban-
doned the attempt to cultivate cotton
in that country. After long-continued
and expensive experiments they find
that the enterprise does not pay. But
whilethe government experimentshave
failed, several private citizens have sue
ceeded, and the cultivation of cotton is
actually extending and proves remunn-
erative.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
The Amendments to the Constitu-
ton submitted to the people by the late
election, have all been adopted by large
majorities. Evecy county thus far re-
ported has gone for them by very de-
oided prepondersnce.
