THE ELECTIONS Conservative gains
The election returns are still incomplete =
The Radical majority in Pennsylvania, as we
predicted, is materially whitfield down as the
official returns come in, and the probability
now is that it will not much, if any, exceed
twelve thousand The conservatives, there
fore, have gained something near 5000
upon the majority against them in the last
presidential election-that gain being more
than equal to the majority against Mc'Clel-
Ian in New York in 1864 In Ohio the
conservative gain has been still more decisive.
Lincoln's majority was 1886, but at the
recent elections, when the vote was appar-
emily as heavy as in 1864, the radicals
have not obtained more than 40 900 MAORI
ty Indiana shows somewhat similar re-
port. Lincoln's majority in that State, in
1864, was 0,189, and now that majority
has been reduced below 5000. The con
seryatives also gain member of Congress in
Indiana, as well as one in Ohio. We have
not yet received sufficient returns from Iowa
to form a near estimate Of the result; but
there is no doubt, judging from our advi-
ces, that the radicals have also lost in that
State The majority for Lincoln in 1864,
in Iowa, was 40 ,533, and the radical major
ity now is not likely to reach $4,000. In
all the States, therefore, which held elections
this month, the conservatives have made
substantial gains upon the vote at the last
presidential election. N. Y. San, imde-

Owing to the publication Of dispatch, by
the Philadelphia Ledger, from its Washing
ton correspondent detailing the subject mat
ter of a letter, purporting to have been ad.
dressed by the President to the Attorney
General asking information on certain points,
calculated to make the impression on the pub

more the present Congress as Constitution

proven to be utterly false and cole has fallen

RAILROAD DISASTER PREVENTED BY A
DREAM.-Mr. Robertson, mail agent on the
Atlantic and Great Western railroad, between
Dayton and Cleveland, relates a strange item
about a farmer who prevented terrible dis
aster on that road. near Mansfield Ohio, at
the time of the recent freshet. The far
mer Ga Pennsylvanian) went to bed during
the heavy and protracted storm on Monday
night, and dreaming that the fill across a
chasm, some hundred feet deep, had given
way under passenger train and let it down
into the abyss, he sprung up to render assis-
lance to the passengers, ran to the door, and
was fastening from the house, when his wife
awakened him. He related his dream, and
went to bed again, but slept little more dur
ing the night The dream made such an i'm
preston on his mind that he fastened to the
chasm the next morning early, to see what
condition it was in, but the road was appar-
emily all right, although the water was pour
ing and surgng through the large culvert
beneath as though it would wash the earth
away. On Tuesday night the farmer could
not rest for thinking of his dream of the pre-
ceding night, and getting up he procured his
lantern and hurried off to the chasm. When
he arrived there he found to his terror that
the huge fill had been washed out, leaving
nothing but the unsupported ties and track
over the chasm I! Hearing the train thunder
ing toward destruction, the farmer clambered
across the dreadful break, and running down
the road some distance, he signaled the APP
preaching train to stop, and SO short was the
distance that by the time the engineer was
able to hold up, the engine was with few
feet of the chasm
The train was large, and was filled with
persons who had been to political meeting
at Mansfield. What narrow escape they
all made from a horrible death, for the train
would have plunged down the frightful prec-
ipice, car after car, crushing all to death in
the ruins. The passengers at once evinced
their gratitude to their preserver, the Penn
sylvanian, by making him up handsome
sum of money.

A Fer0cl0us M0nster-Half-H Horse, Nalr-O1

(From the Indianapolis Journal, Sept. 30
During the last week an animal was
brought to this city from the northern part
of this State, the like of which was never be :
fore seen, we venture to assert. A year ago
we learned from several reliable gentlemen
who had seen it that such monster was ex-
tant, though rather too diminutive to attract
much notice, and that, should it live to at
tain full size would be a marvel Of uglness
and ferocity. About the middle of the pres
cnt month its keepers concluded that it had
attained growth sufficient to astonish any
community in which it should be exhibited
and it was brought to this city to remain, as
it was supposed, till after the State fair but
its extreme viciousness rendered it unsafe
and improper to allow it to stay here, as well
as dangerous to the crowds that will be in
town the coming week.
A gentleman who saw it while here des-
cribes it as follows The general characteris-
tics and features Of the horse are closely
blended with those Of the OK in this strange
and remarkable beast. The head and neck
are broad and heavy, giving it the fierce dis
position of the buffalo rather than the
quiet and docile character of the OK, while
the name, reaching from the forehead to the
shoulder and sweeping to the knees, add to
the general appearance Of ferocity. The
horns are heavy at the base, but very short
and remarkably polished and pointed. The
eye is dull, but suggests things unutterable
an expression Of latent power and devil
ishness which the general appearance of the
animal confirms The muzzle is black and
ugly, the wide nostrils arguing large
breathing apparatus and unconquerable en-
durance. The jaw is heavy and prominent );
the forehead full but rather square. The
depth of shoulder is very great; the fore legs
short and large: the foot broad and deeply
cleft
But here the bovine resemblance ceases
altogether, and the equine characteristics be-
gin. The body is slight and rounded, close
ly covered by glossy coat Of fine short hair;
a long flowing tail nearly reaches the ground
The hinder legs are smooth, and like as
those of a race horse, and the hoofs rather
slight but well formed, contrasting strange
" with the heavy legs and cleft hoofs of the
forward part Of the animal It's gait. too,
is ludicrous cross between that Of the two
brutes of whose nature it seems to partake
While the motions of the forward part of the
body are slow, awkward and stumbling,
those Of the hinder are extremely graceful
and agile. Altogether it is one of the most
wonderful curiosites to be found in the ami
NAL kingdom. Who will give it a name

Marshal, upon process from the federal

/ send herewith copy Of letter from
the United States District Attorney for Vir-
ginia, to which I beg to call your attention
I have the honor to be, SC.
HENRY STANBERY, Attorney General.
Office Of u s. District attorney for Tar-
ginia, Norfolk, October 8, 1866 = Hon.
Henry Stanberry, Attorney General Of the
United States Sir: In compliance with
your request, | submit, herewith, the sub
stance of the verbal statement made you, a
few days since, in answer to your question.
"Why no demand had been made upon the
military authorities for the surrender of JEFF
ferson Davis, in order that he might be tried
| upon the indictment found against him in
the United States Circuit Court, at thc~term
held at Norfolk in May last" .fI<~
The reasons that have influenced me in not
taking any steps for removing him from their
custody. The one relates to the safe keep
ing, the other to his own personal comfort
and health have never had any doubt
but that he would be delivered to the United
States Marshal Of the District, whenever he
should have demanded him on ''capias"
or any other civil process.
But you can readily understand that so
soon as he goes into the hands Of that officer
upon any action had by me-, his place Of
confinement would be one Of the State iails
of Virginia. At Fortress Monroe all neces-
sary precautions can be taken to prevent
his escape. Over the internal police of .
State jail the marshal has no authority, and
the safe custody of the prisoner could not be
secured save at very great expense. Mr.
Davis is now in as comfortable quarters as
as the most Of those occupied by the army
officers at the fort The location is a healthy
one His family have free access to him
He has full opportunity for exercise in the
open air. IF his health be feeble, remove
him to one of the State jails, and his condi.
ton, instead of being bettered, would in all
these respects, be much for the worse Ills
counsel probably understood all this, and,
think, will not be likely to take any steps
which would decrease the personal comforts
or endanger the life Of their client
have the honor to be, most respectfully
your obedient servant,
L. II. CHANDLER,
| u S. District Attorney for Virginia.
