The Result.

The battle has been fought and won.
The President, while joining issue with
Congress, always expressed great conf
dence in the People Before them the
issue was joined, and by them it has been
decided most overwhelmingly against
"My Policy" and in favor of the restor-
alton policy of Congress.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Has nobly done her duty, elect ing
General Gcary by 1900 majority, and
electing Is Congressman out of twenty
four a gain Of two. She has also secured
a majority of eight in the State Senate,
and twenty five in the House, or ma
jority of thirty-three on joint ballot. This
secures the election of Republican Z.
S. Senator in place of the late Mr.. Cowau,
now deceased. And this too, as is clear,
will be no less parsonage than his Ex-
cellency, Governor Curtin. Surly this is
glory enough for one campaign.
CHIo
Has been swept as with tornado,
having majority in the State of about
forty-fve thousand sixteen Republi-
cans and three Democrats have been cleo.
ted to Congress.
INDIANA.
Has been carried by over fifteen thou
sand Eight Reput licans and three Dem
ocrats have been returned to Congress,
with Legislature largely Republica an
which secures the election of Republi-
can Senat or in place of Senator Lane
who declines reelection.
Iowa
Has been carried by about thirty thous
and. electing an entire delegation to Con.
gress.
This Significantly rebukes executive
treaehery. Thus gloriously have the
people sustained their servants compos-
ing the loyal Congress of the country
Who will henceforth loose faith in the
American peoples fitness for self Gov
ernment.
We need only to await the voice of the
remainder of the loyal States in Novem,
Der to complete the victory of right and
justice.

Withdrawing at that moment the hand
that had shielded her eyes from the flre-
light. she encountered Franks gaze bent
earnestly upon her, with the questioning
in IL which faltered on his lips. 1t was
new. this allusion of his mothers to her
self. He did not remember ever to have
heard her speak thus personally before.
"You know, my son, that the early years
Of my erphanage were spent under my
generous uncles roof. You do not know,
perhaps, that the estrangement between
us was caused by different views of re-
ligious duty, and that because of it be-

"Dear mamma" spoke a miniature
likeness of the lady addressed, closing
at the same moment school book over
which her curls had been demurloy droop-

volunteered the child, in explanation.

Mrs Vernon, her cheek in a glow,
would fain have checked the chatter of
the keen little observer, whose sprit-eye
s eemed thus early opened, yet would not
chill the sensitive spirit by rebuke Of
what was no fault.
"Did you notice that she looked like
Ellie ..ton ? aud her hair waived on
her brow not unlike your dolls, Agnes"
said her mother. "By the way, has that
young lady retired for the night, or is
that getting to be an obsolete cermOny-

And thereupon came the fruitful topic OF

When Mr. Childs was here a short
time since, he expressed great concern
for the grave responsibilities the people
we're about to force upon him. 1t will,
doubtless, be a great relief to him to re-
alize that he has been relieved from those
prospective duties altogether. What a

the rest, which in sympathy, the kind
offering had alre ldy brought.
The mother and the invalid sister look
edup with the feeling of self-reproach
which his entrance had of late been wont
to bling; the consciousness that seemed
working the downfall of his cherished
plans, feeling underlined to themselves,
and unsuspeoted by him, that yet spread
gray vapor over their intercourse. They
caught light from his face tonight, aud
when they spoke to. him of fatigue, and
of the storm, he snapped his finger with
an old >schoolboJ ejaculation of disdain.
Later be looked up at the stars the scud
ding clouds were bringing to view as the
storm died away.
''It wasn't the work that troubled me
to-day half as much as the worry to know
whether had been "a fool,' or not, in

And it came to the ear of the invalid
sister, driving away the impression OF
troubled dream, and giving instead an
impulse Of pew strength and hope, and
made music sweeter to the mothers heart
than songs of summer robins.

evil and prevent overflow, the dykes or leyees

| For the information of the New England
bookwrights who, regarding the ex-general as
authority may incorporate his statements IN
the next edition of their school books, we would
state that it is untrue, that from the borders
Of Tennessee to the mouth of the river '"there
are hundred rivers or bayous that run out
from the main stream and assist in carrying the
surplus waters to the Gulf" On the contrary,
the Mississippi has no outlet above the Ateh-
afalaya, and only three outlets altogether-the
Atehafalaya, the Plaquemine and the Lafourche
These bayous so far from being choked at their

seasons of high water, filed to the utmost
limits of their discharging capacity. Some
times, as this yesr, they even overflow their
banks. The amount of water carried off by
these streams is, in the aggregate, about
10000 cubic feet per second scarcely
equal to the discharging capacity Of the
great erevasses which frequently take place.
The ex-generals notion that our floods are
caused by the choking up of these bayous,
is ridiculous absurdity, because they are not
choked up at ALL His idea that cleaning
them out would dispense with the necessity
for Ievees is, therefore, entirely fallaeious.
The bayous assist in relieving the river, and
the leyees protect our riparian lands from in
undation By building them high enough
and strong enough they will accomplish the
purpose Gen. Humphreys declares that
twenty-six millions would suffice for a COM
plete and effective levee system from Cairo to
the Gulf, and that no other system has the
slightest value. The difference between Gen.
Humphreys and ex-Gen. Banks is that the
one is man Of science, and the other is a
charlatan.

has already been stated that he spoke against
