E A man named Donahue, the Copper
head candidate for the Senate from the Sena-
torial District embracing siblev and Nicollet
counties, in Minnesota, recently undertook
to contest the seat Of the successful Union
candidate. The testimony taken, however,
showed that there was but one fraudulent
vote cast, and thnt one was cast .Jor Donahst.!
Mr.. Donahue retired in disgust.
CARLy1E's IDEA or Fua.-1t appears from
the report Of Dr.. Hoge, sccessionist, that
Carlyle considers the hanging Of negroes by

crons reused by the burning Of Rome, and
Carlyle seems blessed with similar power
to extract farce from tragedy.

agThe London Saturday Review remarks
in its contemptious way that '.the people of
the United States have hitherto scarcely had
a history" Granting that the Review is right
it must at least admit that we have made
nevertheless, in 1776 and 1912 some contribu-
tions to the history of England, which tories
do not find much pleasure in remembering.
sB- The New York Evening Post speaks
feelingly Of ''the mighty fallenn about the
Custom House in that city. 1t seems, howev-
er, that the falls occur on the icy steps. The
Post advises those who have not the time or
money to go to the circus, that they can see
gratis, in Wall street, at all hours of the day,
ground and lofty tumbling by bulls and bears
nB- The New York Custom House frauds
over which copperhead papers are so jubilant,
were discovered, brought to light and exposed
by agents OF the Treasury, and in less than
half an hour Collector Barney dismissed the
delinquent from official duty, and put another
man in his place. Who ever knew more
prompt exposure and displacement of demo-
crat delinquent under democratic admins
traton? Ordinarily copperhead dogs do not
cat dog.
sB Jefferson Davis recently executed a
chassez around poor old Plus TX, with view
to secure the pontincal benediction upon his
nnholy rebellion; and the feeble old Pope,
who is held in civil power only by Napoleon
lll.,-the contemner Of constitutions and the
usurper OF imperial honors- deigns to lay
hands upon his head and pronounce quasi
blessing. But JEFF. and his cause are so far
gone that all the salt in the Papal See can't
save them.
nH- Mr.. Conncss, in the U. S. Senate, In
speaking against exempting clergymen and
non-combatants in the enrolment act, said he
asserted that this was Quaker's war; war
OF moral forces against the institution of say-
cry. The South undertook this war to rear
up negro empire upon the proposition that
slavery was right and essential to the existence
Of society. part Of their proposition was to
tear away our government and build up their
slave-breeding aristocracy on its ruins We
accepted their doctrine, and said they should
neither build up their edihce nor tear down
this government Of freedom established by
our iorefathers. A citizen, whether Jew or
Gentle, Quaker or Catholic, be he what he
may, could not perform higher duty than to
go to the field aud fight his country's battles

ACoMPLIMENT.-Our worthy City Marshal,
Mr.. Head, yesterday received from the Police
Commissioners at Chicago, Messrs. j. S. New
house and VIM. Wayman, a barrel of prairie
chickens and quails-fat and plump enough
for the most fastidious gormand. 1t was a
pleasant compliment to our energetic Chief
from the City Of the Lakes. In the kindness
of his heart he distributed them among his
friends, and we acknowledge with pleasure the
receipt Of a lot Of these splendid birds.
