HMe vlCtOry.
We have but little time and still less en-
ergy to iadulge in comments upon our won-
derful victory. Every one in our Office is
completely exhausted by the late hours and
the immense labor Of printing the election
returns that pour in like Asod. The re-
suits, as they begin to appear definitely as the
smoke Of the battle clears, away seem to be
as follows:
Our county has completely astonished both
riends and foes. Lincoln has over 500
majority. FOSTER HAS NEARLY $50 !!
So much for the INSCRIPTIONS and prodgious
efforts of Judge Thayer and his followers to
defeat him. A REPUBLICAN, BOARD OF SUPER
vIsoRs Wehave carried every township but
two Moscow and Orono. the State ticket
has about the same majority as Lincoln. The
gallant Republicans Of this county have COW
cred themselves with glory, and especially
those Of Sweetland, Goshen and Seventy-Six.
Bloomington township has swelled the vote
with los Republican majority. Henceforward,
Musccatine county may DO set down as
reliably Republican.
The State has, by present indications, given
from $4,000 to $4,000 Republican majority
pennsylvania is probably carried by 60, 600
to $4,000. The Douglas men were completely
s'ckened by Fusion, and many voted ssraigh,
ticket; others refused to vote at ALL
New York has probably given Lincoln
$4,000 majority; Illinois, 1900; Indiana
io,0oo; Ohio, $4,000; Rhode Island, 5000
Enough has been heard to make Lincoln's
election a certainty.
In tho South, later returns are more favor
ABLE to Breckenridge. Douglas has not carried
single State, unless it may be Missouri
Comment is needless.
Three cheers for OLD ABE!

AN 1DIoTIC MILLIoNAIRE.-Ac correspondent
of Boston paper, writing from New York,
says:
Zone who frequents Broadway or any OF
our fashionable promenades will notice the
daily walk of q gentleman who saunters leis-
ure!y along, followed quite closely by man,
bent under 70 years, and STOPPING
so constantly as to seem almost to crouch as
he walks. He follows his leader like shadow.
and goes into all possible places with his
attendant. The feeble old man is John Jacob
Astor, son of the famed Astor whose tame is
with the Astor Library. He was a
bright and promising boy, and till seventeen
years of age gave promise of much genius
Reports vary as to the cause of his mental
decline; but the best accounts attribute it to
the mental forcing system, and to the immense
study that occupied his early years. But true
it is that he has been for years hopeless
and has been as much more care
than an infant as strong and athletic person
can be. Ample provision has always been
made for all the comfort he is able to enjoy.
An elegant mansion on Fourteenth street is
his abode. 1t is fitted up with elegance and
taste. A yard, comprising an entire square,
secures all the privacy that is needed. Room
for walking, riding on horseback, and for
is afforded. Horses, carriages and
servants wait on his call. The gentleman
who has care of Mr.. Astor has long devoted
himself solely to him. He has such command
over him that he can guide and control him
At will, which no one else can do. Ample
is given to the attendant He
aas the house and all the servants, the equip
lge and everything, at his command Beside
! liberal provision made for him in Mr.. Astor's
will, he receives above the house and living
he sum of $4,000 per annum. But he is not
lone an hour. Sleeping, walking, at home,
Ibroad, or riding, Mr.. Astor is with him,
makes one at his table, is one of the invited
quests at all places, and in all his movements
ollows him. The family of Mr.. Astor are
lind and tender to their relation, visiting him
laily, seeing that all his wants are attended
o, and in the most scrupulous manner carry.
ng out all the wishes of the father in regard
o one whom he called in his will "his
Unfortunate son."

The Murder of Rev. Anthony
BeWiey.

A report wss published sons time since of
The murder in Texas by a Pro-Siavery mob
Of Rev. Anthony Bewley, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church The account was at first
discredited. but a correspondent of the Texas
Christian ddrocate says the original state
tnent was too true. Mr.. B. was a native of
Tennessee, and had al ways been resident
Of slaveholding States but he entertained
Ant'-Siavery sentiments similar to those held
by Oassias II. Clay, and for this he was in
humanity murdered by Texan mob on the
18th OF September. He had been ordered to
leave the State, aud while attempting to do
so, was oversaken and sunmarily hung from
the limb of tree. The Chicago Tribune
says of him: "rho writer of this has seen
him among slaves-knows him to have been
one of the most prudent, most discreet and
most a,niabe Of men. We would pledge our
life that he never uttered word to make q
slave discontented with his condition, or ad-
vised him otherwise than to seek such conso
!atiuns as the poor and the oppressed may
find in the Gospel of the Savior. Blu. Mr..
Bewley-soutLern man as he was-retaiped
his connect N with the Methodist Episcopal
Church-did not go off with the Southern
secession when the Church divided on the
Slavery issue in 1918; aud that was enough.
His blood has been shed toappesse the great
Southern Mooch. Doubtless his last prayer.
after that for his wife and his helples, Off
spring, was that it might not be shed in vain.
Nor will il. Ever is the blood of the martyrs
the seed of the Church"
