good men are selected, men who will
command the confidence Of the party,
and the people and then, when the
nomination is made, stand by the
party and the ticket, and do all that
can be done for It's success, If such
had been the conduct Of every Re-
publican in the last canvass, this
county would have given a majority
Of 100 for the ticket, Ia place Of 200 to
go, with all the frauds Of our oppo-
nents, The great mass Of the party
was faithful 10 the whole ticket, aud

more decisive victory than we
achieved, and II was within our power,
But the disafieetion Of the few Grip

Louisville Journal on the Election.


We soc il stated that PAUL r.
SHpMAN has again become associate
editor Of this paper. 1t will BIO re-
membered that he was removed from
this paper during the war because of
his rebel sympathies. Judging from
the late course of this once popular
journal, we Judge he has lost none of
tho hate of Northern politics. We
find the following eommepte on the
elections in the Journal of the 18th
inst:
If we may judge from the dispatches
OF yesterday, the radicals prevailed in
the elections of Tuesday and, If we
may judge from this result, they will
prevail likewise in the elections of
November. We may reasonably con-
olnde that tho radical majority in the
next House Of Representatives will
not be less than two thirds of the
body. So much il probable, if not
certain, II is indeed but too certain.
When Congress shall meet in De-
cember, therefore, the radicals will
have gained tho power TO do what
they please for the next two years
What they please we know; but
whether or not they will take the re-
eponsibility of working their pleasure
in all respects, remains to be seen. We
can afford TO wait a.4... SO
Meanwhile we may be sure Of one
thing. The radical majority ia Con-
gress will assume and exercise the
right Of debating terms of admission
TO the Southern States. OF this at
least there can be no doubt. In view
Of such dictaton, what is the duty of

need not answer this question. II

the answer outweighs all imagined or

As VIC have frequently remarked

sugar coated promises. She can AZ

she must yield. She has pledged her

TEE WINNERS ON THE ENGLISH TURF FOR 1866
The racing season is drawing to q close both in
this country and in England. An esteemed cores
pondent writes us, from England:
9 You will learn that the English turf campaign,
begun in March, is now drawing to close, with
the Warwick and bennington meeting next week,
to conclude the racing season. The result thus
far seems to establish the fact that the most re-
nowned horses in England are all under five years
old; and that Gladiateur, four years old must be
yet considered the q best horse in England -
as he lately looked well, being in training at New
market. Lord Lyon, three years old, and his own
sister Achievement, two years old, are decidedly
the best of their respective especially the
'modern Cruci6S,' that has encountered no equal
in the many races she has already won at Epsom
Ascot, Greenwood, and Newmarket, if not else
where. The renowned brother and sister have
other engagements the present month TIN Newmar-
ket need not call to your notice that they are
got by Stockwell, whose dam was by Glencoe. 1t
is somewhat curious fact (see their pedigrees)
that they are descended from all three of the most
renowned race horses of the same year-each of
them nonpareili' of almost any other year.
Plenipotenhary, winner of the Derby; Touchstone
winner of the st. Leger, and Glencoe, winner of
the Goodwood cup; all winners too, in the same
year. Plenipetentiary, 90 the modern Eciipse "
won 'the guineas'' at New Market, and the Derby
at Epson. But his descendant, Lord Lyon, has
done more-an achievement accomplished only by
Gladiateur, last year and some years ago by West
Australian. But neither of them was the fayorte
al each race, as Lord Lyon has been.
Gladiateur, for instance though bred in France
is descended from English ancestors. His sire
Monarque, won the Goodwood cup, beating
Proress. Gladiateur's dam was by Gladiator
second to Bay Middleton, and beating Eenison
In the Derby raGe-all three very remarkable
