gers and employees, have occurred.
There were some half dozen last week,
involving the delth OF persons in nearly
every case. On the 10th ult, eleven
persons were killed by disaster on the
Chicago and st. Louis railroad.

PRoBABLE EXCLUSION OF LOUISIANA
The hlibusters have triumphed in the
United States Senate. Knowing that a
majority would vote for the resolution
recognizing the present state govern
ment of Louisiana, they gave notice that
they would continue to resort TO every
parliamentary device to prevent vote,
and on Monday the majority succumbed
to this bullying, and agreed to postpone
the resolution and take up other bust
ness. 1t is not considered likely the
resolution will be taken up again. 1t
was a weak thing in the majority to
yield to the fllibusters. They should
have determined to bring the Senate to
a vote on the resolution before proceed
ing with any other business, and if the
fiIHbusterS chose to defeat all other
measures rather than permit a vote upon
this on them would have rested the en-
tire responsibility. MIR. Sumner has a
right to his opinion that the Louisiana
government is stupendOus hoax, and
vote accordingly. Noattempt was made
to abridgp his liberty as a Senator in
the slightest degree But the fllihus,
tcring under his lead to prevent the ma
iority from voting for the resolution
was an outrage upon their rights, and
should have been resented and firmly re-
sisted .-SprjngfeM Republican,

and prejudice had subsidized This was
right AS the head of that rebellion which
had caused so much trouble, loss, sorrow,
and suffering, the excitement of the hour
against DAVIS, was very great, and while it
made 10 difference whether he was hung
while this lasted, or is hung after it has
died out, we do insist that in waiting for a
fair and impartial trial, it shall not be so
worked as to lead to his escape. The gov
ernment, the people, and the Union cannot
afford this
If DAVIS, who is the only one Of the chief
conspirators, under arrest escapes through
a trial, it will not be many years until there
will be another rebellion to suppress. We
already hear intimation of this in the South
The leaders there, are in worse condition
now than at any time before, and if they
can go " scot free for all their villainies
under the rebellion just ended, what is there
to hinder their desperate straits, from driv-
ing them into another They have all to
gain and nothing to lose by it ; and the
poor ignorant people can always be lashed
into fury by the cunning devices Of lead
ing men. Let the administration therefore
beware how it lends itself to JEFFERSON DA
vIs' escape.
But, on what principle does the govern
ment concede to JEFFERSON DAVIS trial by
a civil court? If he is tried for high trea-
son as citizen of the United States, il
must be at Montgomery or Richmond, OF
where ever else the acts of treason, for
which he is to be tried, were committed
and at such point, trial would be worse
than idle. WIRz is tried by Court Martha
for acts committed against the rules o
modern warfare, and the laws of nations
but he must be recognized as an alien enc
my before he can be 50 tried. For as {
citizen he would have to be tried at Ander
sonville where his inhuman acts were per
petrated And how can the government
make an alien enemy of WIRz, try him as
such and yet hold DAVIS, his superior il
office, as in crime, and who worked togeth
er under the same government, as citizel
of the United States?

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER-One of
the most brutal attempts at numbering an
old man 80 years OF age, to get his MONEY
occurred in York, Livingston Co., late on
Saturday night. About II O'Clock at night
two rutfians knocked at the door of Deacon
DANIEL FRAZIER, of York-two other accom-
plices standing u short distance off Mr..
Frazier got up, opened the door and was
struck to the floor with slung shot-a
stone slung in a handkerchief He was
then pounded with billet of wood on the
face and head, until his face presents the
most horrid appearance-battered to jelly.
Mrs. Frazier jumped from a window and
ran half mile to {. A. warts, and gave
the alarm The citizens soon rallied and
went to the house, finding Mr. Frazier near
Iy dead and insensble from his wounds. -
The robbers Ia ad plundered the house and
left their victim apparently dead. Pursuit
was made At Pitfardinia one ofthe robbers
named Jim Sherwood, was arrested Two
more were arrested at John Hulbert's (late
Sheriff. one of which was his hired mana
Canadian, another named Chas Helan was
captured at Fowlerville. Four persons
were engaged i'll this outrage, and all are
in Geneseo jail, where it is hoped they will
remain until the full penalty of the law can
be meted out to them They had divided
the money at the schoolhouse near widow
Willes in district number nine Three
hundred dollars Of the money taken was
found with them. How much was taken
from Mr.. Frazier is not known, as he is in,
sensible and Of course unable to give an
account of his loss. One of the villains has
made confession detailing the affair, which
is substantially as we have gived it-~Le
Roy Gazette.
1t is reported that Mr. Frazier has died
from the effects Of his injuries. If so the
villains will have to stand trial for murder
as well as robbery.

THE ELECTION.

We have delayed our paper, one day, in
order to give the result of the election held
last Tuesday The Republican party of this
County comes triumphantly out of the con-
test with every candidate on our County
ticket successful by large majorities The
INSCRIPTIONS warfare upon Mr. LANDoN has
had the effect to decrease his vote, which
with the light poll, will reduce his majority
in the County to 1900 or possibly 1900.
His election in the district is certain by
1000 majority.
We give below the result as far as we
have received returns from the election dis
tricts up to Wednesday noon -

OM!-Not on the brain alone, but in Lu-
zerne Co. Mr. Smith informs the Local that
two of the companies engaged in boring
for oil in Fairmount Township, have struck
ile' one at depth of IS feet, the other l67
feet. The difference is that the one bored
through the conglomerate. and the other
was in position outside of that formation
and of course had a less distance.
Pumps were already at Shickshinny on
the way to the wells and short time will
prove the value of the discovery. In the
meantime hope is in the ascendant. t. WUkes-

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE RAVAGES OF
THE CHOLERA,

Foreign mails, received at the State De
partment bring further intelligence rela-
tive to the ravages of the cholera. The
United States consul at Port Malone, writ
ing under date of September 18th, says
that the cholera at Palma Mayorea has
carried off many people, and there is no
diminution of the disease. A panic pre-
vailed there The cholera has also ap-
peared at CuidadeIa. 1t is now admitted
that about seventy pilgrims died Of cholera
at quarantine at Port Mahone and others
of various diseases. The cholera is repre-
scented to have broken out west of Port
Malone. But thus far this scOurge seems
to have been confined to the great chan
nels OF human travel and the marts of COM
merce There is no information, however,
that it has appeared IN the interior of Spain.
The consul says that, from ni"rmst"It r,-
ceived ut at Port Mahruc, II = h,D"vrd
