Letter from CIaFksyilie. ~
GAINESVILLE, Nov.f, Isc5.
EDITORS GAZETTE: The sn6wstorm
which came off last Friday, yas rather
severe on people who were sat of wood
and stock that had no shelter There
was plenty of both in this community.
Sieds were used by come on Saturday,
though it was rather soft shedding.
! There were three deaths and burials
here last week, and all of men who
Were fifty years old and upwards. Ore
was Mr.. David Phiilippi, q good man
and large farmer, who lived on the
west aide of The river.
The new Methodist minister has
come, and occupies the parsonage
which the old one refused to occupy.
Mr.. Houston has considerably en-
larged and improved his store room,
and now has the largest and best as
sortment OF goods in this town, which
be says he is selling at small profits.
One of the new rules adopted at the
Institute, is, that no scholar is allowed
to visit the saloon.
One of our blacksmiths talks of lesy
ing because he is so overrun with work.
We have known mechanics to leave
places because they had too little to do,
but this is the first instance that has
come under our observation of ones
leaving on account of having too much
III 10 an hot
we notice it accordingly. -... ....
Those boys who committed so much
burglary and larceny here last Spring
are expected TO be tried by the Court
now in session at Butler Center.
Garrison, the saloon keeper, is also to
be tried this term, having been indict-
ed for keeping a saloon.
The GAINESVILLE mill, after enjoying
two years rest, has commenced run
ming again, to the JOY of many people.
Mr.. Lucky Burton, once Supervisor
in this town, has gone to Missouri to
find location for himself and few Of
near Buffers are going TO the vicinity
of Fort Dodge, while any quantity from
the Badger State and Illinois are rush
ing in to this town and the SURROUND /
ing country. ..s
must not forget to mention the fact !
that two new pianos have recently ,
come to town, which, with the one re-
ceived last Spring by Miss Weber, are
three in adj. The last and finest one I
was for Mrs. Case, who has large
class Of music-scholars and who is very
as we learn, as teacher. II I
is proper to state also, that one Of the
pianos was for the Institute.
A Teachers Institute for this County /
was recently held at Shell Rock, which

The President ana the Democrats.

On another page we publish the views
of President johnson on the all-absorb-
ing questions arising in the reconstruc-
Z ton eff the State Governments of the
States lately in rebellion, rs given to the
public by Mr.. Stearns, of Massachusetts.
The Dubuque Herald, in o lengthy re-
view of thiseXpression of the President g
opinions, gave in its complete assent to
every position therein taken, excepting
that on negro suffrage. Here the mass
of the Democracy would. it conceded,
differ from the President; but the diff
ference, it maintained, was on an unim-
portant point, and therefore Of little
moment. We maintain that negro suf-
frage in the South is the most vital
question bearing upon reconstruction,
and the one, more than any other, from
which springs the dividing issues affect
Ing salen and parties. But never mind
this for the present. The Herald says
that aside from negro suffrage the views
of the President are eminenlly and es-
seatisyly Democratic, and meet with the
hearty endorsement OF all Democrats
To obtain a clearer view of the HeraIds
position, we bsg to PROFOUND a few
questions, which We trust it will reply
to in an honest and Candid manner.
/. The President laughed at the idea
of his having gone over TO the Demo
crstic party, and assured Mr.. Stearns
that the Democracy; instead, We're COM
nag over to him. Does the Herald be-
Iieye this?
IL. The President says, "Some States
tried to get out OF the Union, and we
opposed it, honestly, because we believ-
ed to be wrong; and we have succeeded
in putting down the rebellion" Does
that 1--WE" refer to the Democracy?
III. The President maintains that the
Government has the power to correct
the errors committed by the Southern
States in demonstrating their State Gov
ernments at any time they go wrong
Does the Herald agree? If it does, has
it not changed it's views on coercion
and the rights of States?
w. Does the Herald think that tn,
defeated rebels should be made to su,
for pardon, that they may realize th'
enormity of the crime they have com
mitted?
V. The President iooks upon Slavery
as political weakness. Does tie Her
aEdS ..
ing representation in the South upoi
the qualified voters. Is the Herait
favorable to this?

THE ELECTIONS LAST TUESDAY.
GLORIOUS RESULTS.

q We have of course but slight returns
from the Tuesday elections, but enough,
however, to assure us of sweeping Union
victories. The results are more favora-
BILE than the most sanguine Republican
could have hoped.
WISCONSIN,.
There is but little doubt but what the
Union State ticket is elected by from
5000 to 10, 200 majority. Returns from
81 precincts, including Milwaukee and
other large cities, give Fairchild (Unien)
.1,6S7 majority. The result of the vote
on the extension of suffrage is doubtful.
-i2 81 q ILLINOIS.
81 The municipal election in Chicago
resulted in the success OF, the Republic
can ticket by u majority of between
1000 and $500. This 10 doing remarka-
bly, well, considering the split in the
Union ranks. r ..
sos @ MASSACHUSETTS,. s4
The vote in the old Bay State was
light. The Republicans have made a
good gain. The vote will not probably
exceed 100, 900, of which Bullock will
receive from 75, 900 to $4,000, and Couch
less than g, 900. Gen. Banks is elected
to Congress to fill the vacancy in the
9th District. Suffolk County elected a
Democratic Senator-the only one in
the State.
Ks NEW YORK.
eIcThe whole Republican State ticket is
elected in New York. New York City
only gives Slocum majority of 5000,
being Democratic loss of over $4,000.
Buffalo has gone Republican for the first
time in many years. The Republicans
gain number of Assemblymen and
Senators. The 'possum dodge wouldn't
work. $50 a1@ e H. -

'l There is not much doubt that Marcus

WHY is MT is a noticeable fact
that the Dubuque Herald, Keokuk Con-
stitution, Muscatine Courier, and other
Copperhead papers, have little or moth
ing to say about the " Lincoln hire
1ings," impossibflity of conquering the
South, ETC., since the suppression Of the
rebellion and the triumph of the Ma
tional authority. What is the reason of
this? They were all earnest defanlers
a short time ago, but now they seem to
nave no opinion oE these subjects.

they endorse him in this? After all
they have done and said can they thank

would be nothing out of place; and it
would be perfectly consistent fer them
to consider that to ask the Southern
people to give praise for the overthrow
of cause which through four years of

Post Office

1t is not generally known that the
Post Office at Warren. is what is called
Money Order Office" Persons desirou:
of sending small sums of money to THEN
friends, by obtaining sn order run nc
risk of losing their money through the
mails. A larger sun than thirty dollars
cannot be sent st one time to the same
person. The modus operandi IS ns fol.
lows:
A person desiring tn remit a certain
amount of money to some one in Cleve
land, goes to the office in Warren. and
for that amount receives an order on the
Post Office in Cleveland for equal value
this is forwarded to the person who is 10
receive the money, who takes it to the
Post Office in Cleveland and gets the
same eashed. In order that no mistakes
occur, and that the money he raid to the
proper person, the Post Master ut War
rem forwards 70 the Post Master at Cleve-
land a letter of advertisement" advis-
ing him of the amount drawn. and fer
whom. If the order should fall into the
hands of an improper person. he would
not obtain the money. 10y reason of his
inability to answer the questions which
would be asked of him. The system ap-
pears TO be perfect in all it's details, and
it's workings thus farhave been eminent
ly successful. There has Always been a
great deal of conn laint ~ account of
money lost while en- transit through the
mails, but this money order arrangement
is calculated to put a stop TO all such COM
plants in the future.

Such companies have no actual capital,
which is the only indemnity to the policy

We advise all to insure against acct
