Lincoln and LORD Russ.u.

[London Correspondence of the Gin. Gazotte.1
A letter addressed by your Senator
Charles Sumner to one of the Liberia
leadersin the English Parliament. has made
a deep and unpleasant impression in Lon
don Sumner states that Lincoln neither in
his message or other public documents. nor
even in private conversation used a harsh
expression against any European power or
any of its distinguished leaders. lie made
an exception only with Lord Russell. with
whose documents he was intensely dissat-
isied, and whose language disguised him
to the very core. He is the only man
against whom the lamented President
used the most u%nequivocal expressions. and
that the American statesman are sharing
his sentiments. These personal antipa7
thies, it is feared, will not facilitate the
settlement of the impending questions.
unless Clarendon, the successor in the for
eign office, will try to make himself more
agreeable to the Union. The papers ad-
vocate arbitration, which Lord Russell has
insultingly rejected, and it is strongly urg-
ed that Clarendon shall use all his inAu-
ence in this direction.

l1e rrospeetIve slnle or Nebras,,

AohBCCNANE SAlAc Oh NeDFh&Ea,
The people of Nebraska are tardily
waking up to the Importance of having a
State organization, with Senators and a
Representatives Congress, to look after her
interests, particularly as regards the Pa
cife Railroad. Colorado and Kansas are
combined in an effort to change the route,
and have four Senators and two Repre-
sentatives to work together for that end,
against whom Nebraska, with equal popu-
lation and superior claims, has only one
Delegate. The enabling act of 1864 gave
Nebraska the right to form a State gov
ernmnt- Her people have hitherto re-
fused the opportunity, fearing the cost. If
it shall happen that she lose the Pacific
Railroad, by some close vote in Congress,
where her representative influence might
have saved if, her penny-wise policy will
have but its legitimate sequel. The Omaha
Republican therefore says: "Not an hour
should be lost in debating the feasibility
and practicability of adopting a State
Constitution. The people are ready for
it, and would adopt it tomorrow if they
had the opportunity, VIII not the Leg
stature, which is soon to convene, take
such action as will enable Nebraska to be
heard in Congress when Colorado and
Kansas make the effort to take from her
the Pscifc Railroad p

The New IerscX Election.

The official caREasssef the returns from
the late election mLacw jersey has been
completed, and the result demonstrates a
Republican victory even greater than was
at first expected The following are the
totals as compared with the vote last fall +:
Union. Dem. Union Mai. Total.

1t will be seen that the Republican tri-
umph has been made on the fullest vote
ever polled in the State. The Republican
party have gained, and the Democratic
have lost, votes, but the total vote polled
is 3,504 more than ever before cast. And
not only is this so but the Union gains are
by far the largest where the fullest vote
was polled. 1t was a fair, square, hardly
fought contest and the victory was a
sweeping one. The Union ticket has a
majority in four out of five of the Con-
gressional districts of the State. The two
Union delegates in the Congress about to
assemble are endorsed by largely increased
Union msjorities in their respective dis
tricts, while two of the three Democrats

srs-may read their fate in the Union ma
critics in their respective districts.

BOARDING,
FOR RENT.


We publish in another column the
official returns of the home and army
vote for Governora at the October election il
this State. They show a total vote Of
an, 72O, and a majority for Cox of 1896
There is, however, a discrepancy in the
returns of the army vote, between the
footings as returned by the county clerk:
to the Secretary of State, and those re-
turned directly to the Governor and open
ed by the State Board of Canvassers. The
discrepancy arises from the fact that some
of the county clerks in Copperhead coun-
ties refused to receive or report the sol
diers vote in those counties. In this way
l47 army votes for Cox and 3 for Morgan
were thrown out. Counting these, COx's
majority would be 3O,OsO. The matter is,
however, of very little consequence, e.
cept to those gamblers in politics who
have bets depending on 10000 majority
for Cox in this State.
General Cox runs about 500 behind his
ticket. The falling off is mainly percep-
tible in Northern Ohio counties, where his
Oberlin letter injured him. The average
vote for the Union State ticket was about
two hundred and twenty-five thousand.
The following table exhibits the majority
for each of the Union candidates, as re-
turned by the County Clerks to the Secrc-
tary of State:
Lieut.. Gov.-McBurney over Lang------.aI ,4a3
Troasurer-Warner over Spence 70 ~
Judge Supreme Court-Fuil Term-Brinker-
non over Van Trump ...-.-....-..... 81, GA

Board Public Works-MoOre over Boesci... 81. s55
Clerk Supreme Court-FOos over Dana.........3I ISL
The largest vote cast was for Attorney
General,-4Is 1877.
Comparing the result of this election
with that for President in 1864, we find
that, contrary to the claims of the Demo-
cratic press, there has been no increase of
the Democratic strength, even from that
ebb-tide of their fortunes. The decrease
in the Union majority may be attributed
solely to a falling off in the Union vote
not to a Democratic gain. This is clearly
shown by the following table, in which we
compare the vote for President both home
and army in November last, with that for
Attorney General this fall:
Union Vote. Dem. Vote. Total.
President, lsGi---264,9 75 205,557 49, So
Attorney Gen1, 1865. 225, 26s I93,4g9 4ls.737
Decrease-..-..-...-.... Sg,7O7 I2,OSs 5I,795
1t will thus be seen that, so far from
there being a Democratic gain, there is a
positive falling off of l2,O8s Democratic
since 1864. The decrease in the
Union vote is much larger, but is easily
accounted for by the apathy of the Union
party, resulting partly from the fact that
it was sure of success, and partly from the
of the State Convention to give us
a platform which satisfied the earnest and
progressive Union men of the State.
