make ono united effort to redeem our City
Government from the neglect and misrult

A writer in the Viksburg Sun furnishes
the following incident OF the celebrated
duel between Judge Gholson and 5. 5.
Prentiss, of Mississippi:
The facts are these: At the frst hire
Gholson leaped exactly three feet one inch
and half from ground, not with ball
through his heart, because the ball had
struck the toe Of his right foot, glsncing
in westwsrdly direction, hitting Ghsl-
sons second in the pit of the stomach,
causing him 10 double up" with such VIC
lence that an empty pistol be had in his
hand few forward with such force as to
hit his principal on the head, causing him
TO lump up as aforesaid, because he was so
completely sstouished, believing his an
tasopist's ball had bit him on the back OF
the headl Gholson was cured of corn on
his right foot but had the toothache for
week. Gholson's second tosk the cramp-
collie.
The ball of his adversary passed so close
to the lips of Prentiss as to take away his
breath, causing him to fall upon the ground
from which ever afterward he had slight
lisp in his speech.
The parties were reconcilsd on the sroud
in this manner. After they had untangled
and unrolled Gholson's second out of
hard knot, and somewhat relieved him,
Prentiss, lisping considerably, said:
"Gholson, you ow, me dollar" "What
fer ?" said Gholson. mo-" says Gholson,
"you owe me a dollar" "What forr" says
Prentiss. Because" said Gholson, "you
bit my second in the stomach aud caused
him to hit me on the head, which gave me
a tootbache, and now I'll have to have the |
tooth pulled, which will cost me dollar"
"weIl," says Prentiss, "lets call it
square" So they shook hands on the
pot.

The following table is intended to pre-
sent full view of the result Of the Presi-
Dental election. At present 1t contains
but forty six counties in full; twenty -seven
that give the plurality Of Douglas or Lin
csln, with the votes for Breckenridge aud
Bell; and nineteen from which we have no
report at all. As full reports come in we
will insert them in the table. OF the sew
enty-three counties fully or partially re-
ported, not more than two or three are un
reliable. The result they give may be
taken as correct. The counties yet unre-
ported will not vary this result more than
1000 votes against Lincoln, and we doubt
very much if they will vary it so much as
500.

No life had ever been more passionate
ly political than his, no man had ever
placed his ideas and political senti-
ments more constantly above all other
prepossessions or interests. But po-
litics were utterly unconnected with
his death. Ill for three weeks, he
approached his last hour. His chill
dren and household surrounded his
bed; he ceased to speak, and 1t was
doubtful whether he could see. His
son George observed that with uncer-
tain gesture he sought for something
in his bosom. He came to his father
assistance and placed in his hand a
medallion which he always wore
around his neck. M. de La Fayette
raised it to his lipe; this was his last
motion. That medallion contained a
miniature and lock of hair of Mad
anne de La Fayette, his wife, whose
loss he had mourned for twenty seven
years. Thus already separated from
the entire world, alone with the
thoughts and image of the devoted
companion of his life, he died. In
arranging his funeral, it was recog-
nized fact in the family, that M. de La
Fayette had always wished to be burr
ed in small cemetery adjoining the
Convent of Piepus, by the side of hi:
wife, in the midst of victims of the
Revolution, the crater part royallsts
aristocrats, whose ancestors han foun-
ded that pious establishment. The
desire of the veteran of 1889 was
scrupulously respected and complied
with. An immense crowd-soldiers
national guards and populace-accom.
panied the funeral procession along
the boulevards and streets of Paris
Arrived at the gate of the Convent o.
Piepus, the crowd halted; the interior
enclosure could only admit two oil
three hundred persons. The family
the nearist relatives, and the princi'
pal authorities entered, passed through
the Convent in silence, then acros;
the garden, and finally entered the
cemetery. There no political mani
fesiation took place; no grafton was
pronounced; religion and the intimate
reminisceces of the soul alone were
present, public politics assumed nc
place near the death-be or grave o.
the man whose life they had occupied
and ruled Gaizst's Asinaors.

Douglas Insulted at Montgomery
Ala,-He is Pelted with Eggs.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Southern Confederacy
of last Saturday learns from highly re-
spectacle gentleman, who arrived there
that evening direct from Montgomery
that Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, on his arri'
val 10 Montgomery,was met with shower
of rotten eggs. The Confederacy says:
Think Of it, patriots Of the South ! A
distinguished American citizen law
abiding man, patrIst, a statesman, q
gentleman holding high position in the
councils of the nation, and one who is the
candidate of a great party for the highest
office in the gift of a free people, to be Of

And in what place was it that Mr.. Douglas
received such treatment2 At Montgomery

tleman who has been mainly instrumental
10 bringing this Government to the very
verge OF destruction.
And because the patriot and slandered
Douglas chooses to meet the simmons oil
his fellow citizens in Montgomery; he is
greeted on his reception in that city by rot
ten eggs, aud the yells and Kisses OF demons
aud fanatics.
Mr.. Yancey has recently canvassed the
Middle, Northern and North western
States, in the dissemination of his factions
and disorganizlng dogmas, but in every
instance he has been met and treated like
a gentleman. But when a distinguished
opponent, friend of the Constitution aud
the Union, visits the home Of MIR. Yancey,
he is met with rotten eggs and other indig.

HONEST MEN SHOUTING AND THE
DEMOCRACY IN THEIR HOLES

All day yesterday, there were evident
signs of preparation for the coming, last
grand illumination and Republican jubi-
lee, last evening The day was bright and
suushiny and the evening was gloriously
brilliant The very stars seemed to con-
tend above, with ths bright halo of lights be-
low. 1t seemed to US We never saw the
streets of Terre Haute SO thronged. Ev-
cry good citizen with his wife and children
were promenading and enjoying the tri-
umph of the right over wrong. The Wide
Awakes-those glorious Republicans
who have fought so nobly during the great
ed-were out in procession with torches
and caps and capes. Music on the big
drum and the little drum, on brass horns
and on the fife, echoed along the streets
and led the procession. Never did Terre
Haute look more brillIant-never had she
more cause to be jubilant. Her brilliancy
was a fit personi6cation of the light that
will go out from the Republican press and
illumine the dark and prejudiced minds OF
the pro-slavery Democrats.
1t was a glorious final to the most splen-
did victory ever achieved by the friends of
free labor, free territory, and free speech,
in Vigo county. 1t was a grand conclu-
sion to victory unparalleled in the histo
~ of American politics, and it was thrill
Iingly interesting from the fact that our
dear Democratic brethren did not seem to
enjoy it, very much.
Col. Nelson addressed as many as could
be packed within hearing distance in a few
felicitous remark and was followed by X.
W. Thompson, who pledged himself to
support the Administration of Abraham
Lincoln, and eulogized Honest old Abe"
as one of the best pieces Of workman ship,
ever wrapped up in human flesh Mr..
Thompson was followed by R. N. Hudson,
who congratuI aIed him on his determine
tien to support Republican Administra-
ton, and was only sorry he had not thus
determined months ago. Mr.. B. B. Moffat
spoke in words of encouragement and glor
rifcation. and Mr.. Yaryan of Wayne
county, concluded in an able effort, which
was often interrupted with bosterous ap-
plause.
Thus closes the campaign, and the glo-
rifcation of 1860. A campaign that has
been brilliant beyond comParison-determ
mate beyond parallel, srd successful be
yond our most sanguine expectation.

Illinois LEGISLATURE.

BY the returns received yesterday, we
are able to announce the Illinois Legisla-
ture soundly and roundly Republican.
Dick Oglesby, Drum er and Schell,
have been triumphant, at which all true
hearts rejoice. This insures the return of
Trumbull TO the U. s. Senate, and an hon.
est and equitable redistricting of the State.
This will render Illinois Republican for all
ages to come, as a large majority OF her
people are of that way.
Indiana and Illinois at last, take their
true positions among the growing empires
OF the great free Northwest. Douglas and
Bright should now resign their seats, and
permit these tw States to be fairly repre-
scented. But they won't.

The POPULATION OF INDIAsA.-An alb
stract of the census returns shows our Pc
pulstion to be ,347 900. In 1850 it was
900 ,25S. The increase in the last ten years
is 356.742, or about SO per cent. The
enumeration falls below the general esti-
mate, but as our citizens are mostly engag
ed in agricultural pursuits, and we have
no large cities to swell the population,
the result presents very gratifying evil
dence of progress and prosperity. If the
ratio Of representative population should
be increased to 125 900, we shall probably
retain our present representation in Con-
