Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-11-09


The election at Springfield, Illinois, was
quietly conducted, and special dispatch to
the n Y. Tribune says:
Mr.. Lincoln has passed most of the day in
the Coz ernor's House, receiving numerous
visitors, entertaining them with discussions
upon various topics, not exclusively political,
but sometimes humorously touching upon
matters as foreign TO the business of the day
as the splitting of rails
The city has been enlivened with perferm-
ances Of rowing bands of music discharges
Of cannon, and other manifestations of pop
ular feeling.
The multitude at ths Court House, where
the polls are fixed, was very great during the
forenoon and the early part of the afternoon
but, toward clock it diminished sufficient
ly 10 allow tolerably free passage. Mr.. Lin
coin, who had intended to delay voting until
five clock, was counseled to take advantage
of this opportunity. He accordingly, after
surveying the Court House, and the crowd
surrounding it, from bis window, and stop
ping moment to read a fragment of good
news sent to him from New York by Simeon
Draper, started out, accompanied by few of
his more immediate associates, and walked
leisurely over to deposit his vote. BE was
not observed by the masses until he reached
the Court House steps; but at that moment
he was suddenly saluted with the widest
outbursts Of enthusiasm ever yielded by a
popular assemblage. All party feelings
seemed to be forgotten, and even the distribu-
tors Of opposition tickets joined in the over
whelming demonstrations of greeting. Mr..
Lincoln passed through the hall and up the
stairs without impediment, but on reaching
the Court Room the crowd gathered about
him with such excess of zeal that it was with
some difficulty that he made his way through.
Here, as in the street, there was only one
sentiment expressed-that of the heartiest
and most undivided delight at his appearance.
Mr.. Lincoln advanced as rapidly as possible TO
the voting table aud handed in his ticketup
which, it is hardly necessary to say, all the
names were. sound Republicans. The only
alteration he made was the cutting off Of his
own name from the top, where it had been
printed. As he emerged after voting, from
the temporary enclosure, the manifestations
ofenthusiasm were doubled, and Mr.. Lincoln,
removing his hat, bowed in acknowledge
ment Many persons pushed forward to
take his hand and exchange a cordial word
with him. but the crush was too great for
comfortable conversation, so he was soon re-
leased. and escorted ont rzith- all tho popular
honors that could be layished upon him. He
at once returned to bis room in the State
House, after an absence of not more than five
minutes altogether, and resumed his quiet
intercourse with his visitors, as composedly
as if he had not just been the object of as
overwhelming & testimonial Of public affec-
ton as everany man was visited with. -1

Pittsburgh Upronrous.

The Pittsburghers are staid hard working
people, not very gun-powderish. But when
he Republicans found that Allegheny county
lad piled up L, 900 majority for the laborer's
true friend, and that the Old Keystone was
blazoned with 10000 majority for Lincoln
and Hamlin, Pittsburgh loudly exploded The
night of the election the City Hall was opened
and packed with eager hearers of the news
The city and county returns nearly phrenzied
them with Joy, and when New York brought
down the maui ofthe Illinois Rail-Splitter on
Doug -Breck-Bell, the camels back was
broken, and the Chronicle says the crowd
+" unable to restrain themselves longer rushed
out into the open air, and forming sort of
rude procession, marched at a brisk trot over
the more public streets, yelling and shouting
as though the world were coming to an end.
A stranger coming into our city, and seeing
this procession, would imagine that he had
got into a community of lunatics. Nothing
like it was ever seen here before, or ever will
be again. 1000 men and boys running over
the streets, without either object or purpose,
and all cheering, screeching, whistling, yel-
ling, and Hill Eli Hing as loud as their
lungs would permit, was scene not soon to
be forgotten. After marching in this way
over the greater part of the city, the process
sion returned to the hall, and soon afterwards
disbanded, with three cheers for Old Abe"
and the Republican party.

polled in Louisville was cast yesterday and,

The Bible In Naples.

The Naples correspondent Of the London
Times, writing of Victor Emanuers expected
arrival in that city, says;
He viii have two powerful assistants with
him in his work of redemption, and saw
them together on the stalls in the Toledo the
other evening They lay quietly side by side
for sale-the pistol and the Bible-liie and
death, or rather death and life, and Garibaldi
well knows their power. Aboutthe statistics
Of the pistol know nothing; but stopped
at one Of the stalls, where number Of cop
les of DiOdah's New Testament were lying
printed by the British and Foreign Bible So
Oiety) and asked the proprietor how many
he had sold.
"Perhaps," said he, "two or three hun
dred "And to whom-foreigners ~ "NO;
to persons, eOd, Neapolitan." I hear, how
ever from an excellent and well informed
friend, that nearly 1000 copies of the Bible
have been already given out for sale. The
stall keepers come eagerly for them, from
which conceive that the demand must be
great.

There is probability that Pop. Squat.
Douglas has secured nine Electoral votes out
of the three hundred and three he stumped
the Union for The St. Louis Democrat
says;
Douglas has probably carried the State by
a small majority. No inconsiderable traction
Of the Union party voted for him. Indeed, il
is apparent that no combination of eircum-
stances, however favorable, can enable that
party to carry Missouri. The Union orators,
instead of remaining at home and working at
home went of to New York to aid Fusion,
and TO very little purpose. That party is
stone dead in this State, and we apprehend
few mourn the catastrophe.

The Prince at washInetOn,s Tomb.

The London Star says-'The Prince Of
Wales, in bowing before the tomb of Wash
ington, makes silent confession that the day
of the autocrats is at an end, for the man to
whose ashes he does homage was the living
incarnation of the truth that the will of the
people is the only rightfuI source of power
We are quite conscious that such outward
manifestations of respect for great principles
are not always followed by consistent actions.
Kings have before now preluded atrocious
crimes by solemn acts of devotion, Just as
Italian brigands tell their bands before they
murder the wayfarer to secure his paltry
store of gold. But still we venture to cher
ish the hope that our prince will bring away
with him from the spot which derives fro n
the presence of the dust Of Washington a
conservation more sublime than could have
been conferred upon it by ecclesiastical rit-
uals, some enduring impressions, whose infu-
ence viii be perceptible throughout his fu-
ture career"

Election in New York City.

The election in the city passed off without
very serious disturbances. Of the result the
Tribune says:
The majority against US in this City is
somewhat larger than we expected, but not
enormously so. We gave the FusiOnists 25,-
900; they have obtained, perhaps, $4,000,
though we trust it is a little less. We make
our total Lincoln vote 80, ,237, against 60, 59s
for the Fusionists. The vote is very ful i
more than 10, 900 higher than ever before )
and the Republican vote falls but 1900 be-
bind our estimate. We ought to have polled
our full 80, 600; but the desperate exertions,
the lavish expenditure, and the pecuniary
consraints exerted over their employees by
the mercantile Fusionists, have reduced US be-
low what we ought TO have had. All we
have to say is, that a more gallant and des-
perate battle was never fought by any party
anywhere than by the Republicans of this
city They began the canvass with the year.
and they have prosecuted it for ten months
with Hntiring energy and inyincible resolu-
tion The have held all the meetings, done
all the hard work, spent all the money in le-
gitinnate efforts to commend their principles,
that they could. Nothing but the intense
mercantile pressure excited by terrors Of Dis
union and Intercourse could have carried
the majority against US above 1000.
Our adversaries did not cheat US SO much
as they expected, nor so much as we dreaded,
! thanks to the vigilance of our Wide-Awakes
! in scrutinizing the Registries and watching the
! polls Had we met them less resolutely, less
industriously, they could have easily run up
the majority here to $4,000.
We have elected Frederick A. Conkling to
Congress; also William Wall from the East
ern and Williamsburgn district. We pre-
sumo the Mozart County ticket is all elected
at all events, that ours is beaten-except
/ VIM. r. Stewart is probably one Of the two
Supervisors On the whole, if we have moi
done as wei as we expected, we have done
all we could. -.t

SMGIL REATUREs.-Among the papers
pulished in costly style by the Smithsonian
Institute, at Washington, is one on the micro
scopic plants and animals which live on and
in the human body. 1t describes quite a
number of insects. The animal which pro-
duces the disease called the itch is illustrated
by an engraving half an inch in diameter
which shows not only the ugly little fellows
body and legs, but his very toes, although the
animal himself is entirely invisible to the
naked eye When Lieut. Bergman was

THE EXTENT AND RICHNESS or JOHN U.
FREMoNT's MNRs.-The great Mariposa es-
tate comprises 1000 acres, or more than
seventy square miles, on the Bear, Aqua,
Fria and Mariposa creeks. The county-seat
OF Mariposa, with several villages, are on the
estate The mines are worked by running
horizontal tunnels or drills into the noun
tain, connected with the surface by vertical
shafts The drifts follow the quartz veins,
of which there are about twenty; the Jose
phine and Pine Tree are the principal. The
Josephine is l 1926 feet above the river, and
has four drifts, nearly over each other, con-
nected by one upright shaft; the deepest is
525 feet The strata vary in thickness and
richness; one of twenty feet pays $50 per tun,
and one of fifteen feet from $500 to $1,000.
The Pine Tree Mine is below the Josephine,
averages a thirty-toot vein, and has five
galleries, connected by four shafte. 1t is to
be connected with the Josephine by five
levels.
These veins were discovered by Col. FIRE.

rebellion arose among the numerous squat
ters on the estate, and the greatest skill and
tact were exercised in settling the difficult
ties without bloodshed. The natural diff
culties, also, which Fremont Overcame in
getting his mines into working condition, are
almost indescribable. He constructed a rail-
road three and three-quarIer miles in length,

Fortr Thousnnd for LIncoIn in OhIa.

The State Journal of the sth says awe
are still without sufficient returns to attempt
statement OF the precise Republican major
i,y in Ohio; but as far as received the gains
are very large over the majority for Murray,
Who carried the State in October by 1884.
Twenty-three counties complete show Lin
coins gains to he 1851 over Murray's ma
jorities in the same counties. This is an sv-
erage Republican gain of 324 in each county
over the vote at the State election. At this
rate, the aggregate Republican gain in the
ss counties of Ohio, would be 2s,4l2, which
added to Murrays majority would swell the
majority for Lincoln to So, 796 But it is
not probable that the rate of increase will
hold good in The remaining counties. It is
perfectly safe, however, to put the majority
at 10000, with a strong probability that it
viii exceed that figure"

The rapid progress which has been made

IN 1855 when the Republican party,
strictly speaking, had not yet been orga-

for Gov. Chase was only 4,5l6. In 1856,
