THE ELECTIONS

, Throughout the State have generally
resulted in the success Of the Radical
Union Ticket. 1t was feared BY many
good Union men that the Conservatives,
aided by their friends just returned
from the rebel army, would outnumber
the Radical or Unconditional Union
element, and that the election would
result in the dcfea. OF the, latter ut the
polls. Blu: the boys in blue" had
come home, and were not to be defeated.
In at leas. three. fuurths Of the counties
heard from, they stood up for not only
the " infamous test oath,' but also for
the Constitutional Amendment,-an
those measures, in some form, at least,
will undoubtedly be ratified by the ucxt
Legislature. We are gratiliel that the
Union men Of the State have showD that
the back bone which kept them stead.
fast to the old has during the war, did
not fail them in the fight at the ballot,
box. 1t is bat simple justice, that those
who have preserved our Government.
should have the voice in its management
and elections. We learn that Delegate
is elected in Grcenbricr county, who is
" opposed to the State Of West Virginia );
and in some other border counties: cz
rebels have been elected 1t Is very
doubtful, in our opinion, whether such
can take their seats.
In Putnam county the Inspectors Of
Elections took the law into their own
hands, refusing to obey the test oath
which will have the effect to bring the
matter before the Legislature, and We
would not be surprised, if the election
were set aside.
From Boone county VIC learn that
sound Union men were elected to every
Office, although the oath law was dis,
regarded at some precincts. Workman
Rad is elected Delegate.
In Fnyc'tc the Union ticket was also
successful. Wesley }. Farr was elected
Delegate, &. NJ. Blums Clerk aud Re
cordcr, r. b. Cassidy Sheriff, and J. ".
llogc Attorney.
Mitchell Cook, NC learn, was elected
Delegate from Wyoming. Raleigh and
Mcdowell.
Our returns are not complete; but re
will publish the official vote as soon as
our friends will furnish US with it.
Hon. +. S. Mahan is elected Senator
from the Petersburg District, and Gen.
Duval from the Wheeling District.
In Jackson county, the Union ticket
was elected By about 300 majority.

A PARDON WHICn SHOULD DE KE'
voKED Parties who iivcdin Richmond
before and after the Rebellion, say that
one of the most bitter rebels was Joseph
L. Anderson Of the Tredc@ar Iron
Works. lie was, however, as shrcwd as
he WAS bitter. For he invested his
enormous gains not in Confederate bonds,
but in land, which doth not take upon
itself wings and fly away when disaster
cometh. lie is a Rebel who came out OF
the war a millionaire. After the fall OF
Richmond, Anderson became very pen .
iten,, and employed free negroes and
Uuiou men in his Works. and sued for
a pardon which the President granted
him. Now, however. the fellow changes
his tone. lie becomes arrogant, dis
charges his union employees, aud gives
work to those who were Identified with
the Rebellion actively. in preference to
employing those who were true to :nc
United States Government. Anderson :
conduc, is bad, and the President would
serve him right if he revoked his pardon.

The Trial of .Jcil. Davis.

An article appears in the New York
Herald Of Saturday last, pnrpor'lng t"
give rcliahic information regarding th"
dccisi"n arrived at hy the Govcrnmcn:
in the case Of jeff. Davis. Il appears
that the trial was decided upon in Cab
met session im August last. and that the
Govcrnmcn, has only waited for the
close Of the Wirz trial 10 make the an.
nounccment. The hopes entertained by
the friends Of Davis since the speech OF
the President 10 the South Carolina del
ecation, 10 which he intimatcl that
clcmcncy toward Davis ought to be OK.
crciscl are to be dashed to the earth.
The trial is 10 he before tho Supreme
Court at Washington. and since Davis
State has nu!l;Gcd the ordinances Of Sc
ccssiun, instead Of repeating ii. he will
hr tried as if still a Senator, of The
United States. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Chase will preside. The chrrga will be
lh,, Of treason, and will be confined 70
I;sw specifications.
The purposes Of the Government i
not merely to punish Davis, but to de-
line the nature Of! treason, fix its punish.
Ment, rcvcSl the cruclics Of which it has
been the fruitful source. and establish Il
legal precedent for the future which will
be terror to traitors hereafter. and for
ever disgrace the treason which for n
time was respectable by reason of its
power and formidable proportions.

About jeff. DaviS---HiS Trial.

Some very sap;ent newspapers are Civ
ing out that the trial Of Jefferson Davis
is to take place very soon. before the
Supreme Court Of the United States
Now. if these newsmongers would take
so much trouble as to refer to the Con.
s.i,u,ion Of the United States, they
would sec that tic Supreme Court has
no original jurisdiction, ind cannot pos
sibly try jeff. Davis. unless on an appeal
from some other and inferior cour, Of
the United States. lie must be tried by
Jury, and in the State where the trca.
son was committed. There is no doubt
that the Administration have fully de.
tcrmincl that this trial shall take pI,t..
The only points heretofore unsettled
have been the time when, and where.
Richmond, Alexandria. or Norfolk, rs
the places where United States District
Courts have been held for the District Of
Virginia, afford choice Of venue. but
it is doubtful whether loyal and sale
jury could be impannclcd in Richmond,
or, indeed, in the other cities named.
Virginia is in the Circuit Of Chief Jus.
ticc Chase, anil this great State Trial
would properly come before the Circuit
Court Of the United States for that cir.
cult. which embraces Maryland as we'll
as Virginia. The trial, then, may be
held at Baltimore, where no difficulty as
to a jury would he likely to arise. The
constitutional requirement that he must
be tried in State where the crime was
committed, would doubtless be met by
the fact that the rebel chief invaded
Maryland, where he levied war against
the United States. Bu, the trouble now
is n want of time for this great trial
which would occupy many weeks. where
Tas the Supreme Court has to convene 10
Washington for its December term just
five weeks from to-day. The next SEES
sion of the Circuit Court for this circuit
will not occur before April next. 81
the chances Of a speedy trial for the ex'
president Of the cx .coufedcracy are no,
very brilliant.

The TuniS Embassy.

The Tunisian Embassy is now in
Washington. Fancy five tawny.'accd,
black. eyed human beings, short and
stout. with mustachcs cut in the SHAPE
Of n half moon, each wearing taSsclcd
turban on his head instead Of hat, and
the rest of their persons dressed in
christian clothes, and you will have
some idea Of the personal appearance Of
these ambassadors from the Barbary
coast. These arc the chaps whose an.
ccstors, half 4 century ago, used ioprowl
around the Mediterranean. picking up
American merchantmen and reducing
their crews to ahiect slavery, the only
escape from which was by heavy ransom
in solid gold. Time after time did our
fathers pay the hamiliuting tribute,
which older and rrouder nations than
WAS ours did not escape. At last, in
1906, our Commodore Eaton chastised
the rascals in the harbor Of Tripoli, and
they were tan to make peace at the
muzzlcs Of his guns. The world has al
tered bravciy since then. Not II Barbary
cruiser aAoat but has salutary dread OF
the Stars and Stripes, and now they
send their embassy to Washington 4"
ask treaty Of commerce with US.
jolly, sleek looking fellows are these
natives Of Northern Africa. There is
no kink in their hair, nor do they re.
scmLc the negro in complexion. They
have Il quic, twinkle in their eyes, and
Yabble in their own tongue and in
French, over the new thugs they see
everywhere. There is no stupid and
vulgar attempt to lionizc them, as in the
well remembered case Of the japanese
Embassy six years ago. Then, all our
great cities went into convul>ions of ex'
element over half dozen u" y speci.
; mems Of the Mongol race, who were sc,cd
and filtered and stared at. and run after,
und talked about and Rewritten, until
Tommy" and the Tycoon" were in Il
million Of mouths.

AT the convention Of internal revenue
assessors a, Albany, last week, the bust
ness was mostly routine. 1t was shown
that large amount Of revenue was lost
every year on whiskcy and cigars, which
everybody knew before, and the some.
what questionable recommendation was
made that the distillcrics and brewcries
be placed under the control of revenue
officers, who shall permit no spirits or
beer to be drawn Oft except in their
presence. The committee on manutac'
lures recommended that no deductions
be made for freight or manufactured ar
ticlcs, and that goods consigned to an
AGENT to sell shall not Le taxed until
sold. y recommendation Of general
tax on sales caused lively debate, and
wus finally Withdrawn. The question Of
u tax upon sales will come up with prom
incnce when the revenue law is amend
ed. 1t is strongly advocated by many
Of the revenue officers.

TREASURY Matters The Secretary
of the Treasury has lately said openly
that he did not desire that dollar OF
our national debt should be taken 10
Europe. lie is also satisfied that the
Treasury will he able to put all OF the
public debt at FIVE per cent. per amman
after 1868, except the six per cent,
which natures in 1881 and 1857. On
the LIST Of August the debt became sta
tiouary, and in the month Of September
it was reduced twelve millions and a
half, and the annual interest was reduced
half million. It is believed by those
who best understand the subject that
the tide has turned and is now ebbins
rapidly. hi. III
