The Republicans gain four Senators in the
next Congress at least, in place of Covan, oil
Pennsylvania, Nesmlth, of Oregon. McDou-
gall, Of California, and Stockton, of New
Jersey. And il there is any remnants OF
shame or sense Of honesty, or decency Capt.
Doolittle, Newton and Dixon will get out OF
the way and ALLOW the people Of their respec-
tive States to make known their views in the
United States Senate in The persons OF hon.
est men, Political renegades have no right
to misrepresept their States as web rs betray
their party.

HAS SPOTTED THEN.

TIE secesh concern has imbibed the spirit
IS it already had the principles of ASpREw
JOHNSON, and it induge- in Just such bitter,
false, malignant and senseless rawlings as
ANDY did while. swinging round the circle.
in il lesder yesterday it said
an the late political conflict between the
radicals aud the National Union men, iu the
States where elections have been holden, the
latter owe their defeat more to the wan, OF
unity and compact organization than to any
other cause. In that particular the Radicals
had tremendous advantage of the National
Union men; and also in another matter of no
less importance-that of 6nanesa Sos HERON
ductina of the csupaign. Their efcheuuer
box contained thousands of dollars where
our contained cents. They had held all the
Offices, Federal and State, for ten years past,
and their leaders had stolen millions Of dol
lars out Of the National and STATE treasuries.
from which they literally disbursed, as a cor.
ruption fund, to purchase up all the Judas
Iscariots in the opposition ranks who were
willing to betray their friends and TO sell the
principles they protested to believe and their
country's and their own liberty for few
paltry dollars"
hwould be difficult to get more falsehood
into an equal number of sentences than are
IN the above. The charge of the use of .
corruption fund is as false as the assertion
that the Republicans have held eli the fed
srsi Offices 'tfor ten years past" Ten wears
include the entire administration of James
Buchanan. But what we want to call at,sn.
ton to, here Is the Constitutions villainou,
charge against 'he voters of Keokuk and Lee

A CASE that excited much interest, was
tried before Esq. MATHEWS yesterday. The
facts are substantially as follows: Mr.. r.
VAN GLEEsoS had been employed in the
Chattanooga Ticket Office. as clerk. On the
22d Of August he wrote letter to Mr..
JACKSON, Ticket Agent Of the same road,
stating that owing to embarrassed circum-
stances he had used $3.50 from the safe, ex-
pecting 10 be able 10 return il, but being dis
appointed in collecting the money, took
that opportunity to explain the transaction,
and hoped Mr.. Jackson would give him
time, and he would raise and refund the
whole amount Upon this statement, Mr.
JACKSON instituted the complaint, charging
VAN GLEEsoN, and two other parties who
were in the habit Of visiting the ticket Office,
with feloniously appropriating money to the
amount of $3.50 A lengthy examination
was had, but it appeared that there was $3.50
in the safe after the $3.50 was taken; that
the bulk Of the evidence was in VAN GLEE-
SONS letter stating the fact; that no attempt
at concealment had been made, and Esq.
MATHEWS acquitted the defendant Of felo-
niuus intent Able counsel were engaged
upon both sides.

messed the opening Of the dramatic season
nj the New Theatre last night The build
ing has been tasteiully decorated and is now
quite a cosy place for Our amusement loving
people. Miss FANNY b. PRICE in the east
of Julia in the Hunchbach showed good
taste and Discrimination. She has an ex-
cellent voice, prepossessing figure, and I'M
usual power for so young a lady. Before
giving a lengthy criticism We would prefer
90 see her in a character not so passionate as
that soC Julia Mr. HUBRARD made an
excellant Sir Master Walter, thought to our
idea, that character should be play ed by n
man of small stature. Mr. HANcHErr as
Sir Walter Clifford did we'll. Miss KATE
FLETCHER "a Helen was as she always is,
excellent. The company, as a general thing,
is well selected. MessrJ. WIGHr and ELIAS
the Managers, have spared no energy in Sc
cu- ne the services OF good stock The
building is well lighted and ventilated, and
should be well patrouized. Tonight an ex-
cellent bill is presented which should I'll

In RANED!-It rained, and the tender
blades of the waving corn that had laughed
and sung in the breezes Of early summer
drank eagerly Of the sparkling drops. 1t
rained, and the parched earth was clothed
with new yerdure. The farmer heard at
night the soothing sound of the falling rain
upon the roof Of his cottage. The dweller
in the village and city listened to the spat-
ter Of the drops against the windows. The
leaves Of the trees rustled, and gave forth
sweet music, in gentle accordance with the
rain Birds shook the dewy drops from their
plumage and burst forth with gaycr song
All animated nature looked glad. Every
body that walked yestermorning blessed the
rain. &" Il will save the corn; il will save
the grass; il will give new life to all growing
things were the words that met us at
every corner Citizens rushed briskly
through the streets, gladly dodging the
pcarly drops. Farmers walked deliberately
through the mud not caring how wet they
got, so that il rained. The bounteous dew
of heaven came when least looked for, and
upon the thirsty earth scattered its reviving
elixer Il raiued, and thirst and hunger and
pestilence have fed before il. Let all the
people bless the rain.

the city to enjoy pleasant ride, and avail

A number of comfortable cabins are ready
to accommodate families, and a dining and
dancing hall on the main building furnish
ed room for enjoyment. By taking the cars

road one reaches there in a short time. Next
Sunday an excursion train leaves the depot
at . a. m. and we learn that a large num-
Der of citizens are going. The pleasant
woods and hills, the exhiliarating water OF
