We see from the Washington Globe that
lion. ]. B. s. Todd's name was called by
the Clerk Of the House as Delegate from
Dakota. An unsuccessful attempt was
made BY Lovejoy, Of illinois, to amend
the roll by substituting the name Of Mr..
Jayne for that Of Mr.. Todd. Alter some
debate, the whole subject was referred by
agreement between the friends Of the con.
testante, to the Committee Of elections.
1t would seem that neither Gen. Todd
nor Mr.. Jayne have credentials which gre
regarded as regular, but that the Generals
were considered such as would best enti.
tie the posssessor to seat, is cleer from
the fact Of his name being placed upon
the rolls instead Of that Of Mr.. Jayne.
The contest between these parties has
certainly opened in favor Of Mr.. Todd,
as he is now in a position where he can
act on the defensive, while his opponent,
being forced into the position Of contest.
ant. labors under the disadvantage Of hav-
ing the whole onus Of proof rest upon him.
Gen. Todd is really required to produce
no proof Of the stupendous frauds perpe'
trated in Dakota by Jayne to secure his
seat as Delegate. However much We
might feel pleased to have tue General
secure his seat upon any legitimate terms,
we should greatly regret any result which
should avoid the necessity Of giving pub
!ici,y to the testimony taken in relation
to the character and magnitude Of the
frauds committed to secure the delegate.

The JoIlIncnison.


After all. the jolliiers were not very
Jolly on Saturday night. There were
rockets in abundance, a large bonfire, and
quite number Of women and children
came out to witness the spectacle. But the
men were few, aud the enthusiasm, with
out which display Of the sort is an abso-
lutte failure, was wholly wanting. The
truth is that ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elect
ed by grudgng vote. In the first place
he imposed himself on his party as their
candidate. They did not want him. They
would have preferred anybody else. But
his placemen were too numerous and pow
erGul to be resisted The legions Of office
holders packed the Convention, and there
was no show whatever for anybody else.
After the nomination, his paTtisans sullen-
ly refused to radfy in almost every locali-
ty. And during the whole campaign,
save in few exceptional instances, his
meetings were small, aud "hurrah for
Lincoln" was hardly heard anywhere. Not
withstanding all This, he is elected, by a
largevoto. How? BY fraud: almost every

ness or positive yillainny, As in Indian

the Democratic tickets seized and destroy

men, at the peril oftheir lives, were con
strained TO vote as their officers dictated
And, finally, by fright The uniformed
masses were made to believe that the De.
mocracy were leagued in dark and infer
nal conspiracy, not only to subvert the
Government, but to massacre the poor in
nocent Black Republican in their beds.
And so they elected ABRAHAM LINCOLN
But the whole party IS pervaded by an I'M
easiness which they cannot conceal. Among
the more intelligent there IS consciousness
of wrong, while the Ignorant are painful,
apprehensiye that no good is to result from
the election of LINcoLN, The most stupiC
of them have some sort of consciousness
that they have voted for protracted war
for conscription, taxation, death, debt, an'
