HOW the Election was Conducted In
Warren County.

Il is we'll known that every county in the
State, with the exception Of Warren, shows
large Democratic gains st the late election
Warren actually increased her Abolition ma.
ority. Why this phenomenon Why should
Warren increase her vote, while every other
county is revolutionizsd In public sentimentf
A correspondent from that county throws
some light on it. Writing from Morrow, Oct.
20, he says:
"All tho tckets laid on the tables in my
town were torn up by the Abolitionistsl then
commenced grabbing of tickets from the Dem
ocrsts, and then picked their pockets for more,
tearing them up. Some Democrats went home
without voting, for the want of tickets.
"The Abolitlonists acted like wild devils-
Our candidate for Sheriff ,Oss badly beaten and
abused. A rail was set up by the door to ride
the d--d old Democratic traitors.
"This heilish gang was led on By old -, Of
Deerfeld, formerly Of Cincinnati.
"This Is true statement of the election in
Union Township" 4a..9.u
Il was even worse, we understand, in other
townships. The vote Of the county, under such
circumstances, is perfect farce.--Ciueinnati

Iowa Election.

The Dubuque (IoWa) Herald, Of the 2Otl
inst, has returns from tweuty-eigbt counties
They show Democratic gain of 1850 votes
since last year. when the Abolition majority
of the State was 1874 for KIRxwcoD fol
Governor. More than half Of the Abolition
majority Of last year hiss been, therefore, swept
away already. The Herald says:
We have not the least doubt that we have
carried the State by the home vote. It will
therefore, remain 10 be ssen whether few Ab

In bis issue Of Monday:

The LcEi-laturc-

The Lower House has not done much this past
week. y bill has been passed by them providing
for commissioners TO settle the boundaries of
lands, where such bounds are not defined in their
titles. This Is an important measure, and must
tend to place our land titles on a more definite
basis than they now are.
Last Thursday, the Representatives PASSED reso-
lutions-requestIng the attendance Of the Minis
ter of Finance, before the House, to explain sun
dry discrepancies in his report, which have not
been explained satisfactorily, though the House
have been asking for information several weeks.
As yet, the Minister las not consented to make
his appearance, but has replied that as the inyes-
tigation has been carried on so far by CORES
pOndence, it had better be continued in the same
mode. thus showing an unwillingness to comply
with the constitutional power of the Representa-
tives to call him before them for explanations.
The Mobiles are still, or were up 10 yesterday,
on the Appropriation Bill. We regret to see
that they ignore altogether the right of the Re-
representatives. to originate or frame the bill. The
action which they have taken lately in regard to
that document, savors more of the spirit of oppo-
sition than that Of promoting the true interests
of the country-morc for the sake of making
needless show and talk against the Constitution,
than for the purpose of harmony. We have not
seen the Appropriation Bill as passed by them,
as they furnish no report Of their proceedings
except to their own organ. We learn, however,
that they have made changes in it, which neither
the Lower House can adopt, the King approve,
nor the people sanction. If the Mobiles, or rather
the ministry, are bent on raising u popular de-
monstration, to determine how far they can resist
or overturn the acknowledged rights of the peo-
pie, who alone furnish the means for the support
of the government, the steps which they are
taking bid fair to put the question to a speedy
t.st

TE.c Lahu!nnIuna Seminary.

Nh. EDITOR The recent loss which the public
have sustained in the destruction by fire of the Sem
mary building ut Lahainaluna is a serious one,
more particularly at this juncture, when the govern
ment finances are in such Il condition as they now are.
1t is 4 national loss, and the nation must repair it.
Allow me through your medium, to throw n few
hints, which may or may not be Of value; and if
considered in the last category, may undoubtedly be
improved upon.
Let the House Of Representatives now in session,
pass n resolution, recommending their constituents
TO subscribe literally for the purpose Of rebuilding
the Seminary, and ~ the same time ~pledging them
selves to forward such subscription, by all means in
their power, in their several districts.
have no doubt that such an appeal will be met
in the same spirit as similar appeals for almost as
worthy objects have heretofore been met by the
Hawaiian people and the public generally.
Let the Seminary, when rebuilt, be placed, not in
Lahaina. Honolulu, or Hilo, but in some kuqaiaG
spot, beyond the communicating Influences Of 9 beer
aud its adjuncts.
Let the new school he started with the understand
in- by the Board Of Education and the people,, that
the English language is to be the language taught.
No argument, I think, is needed in this proposition.
All of which IS respectfully submitted. by q
