popularity, as the candidate of the masses of
the people. The old Copperheads will bring
back their pet Mcclellan. who is now in

The Battle is Fought and the Victory Won

The great political campaign of 1866 is
ended, and victory has again perehed upon
the banners of the sturdy hosts who fight
only in the name of Truth and Justice, and
to maintain Union of all the States under
one flag and one Constitution. In the result
of these elections we read the verdict of all
the Northern States in the case of the Pres
ident VS.. Congress. The mass of the people
demand the adoption of the complete Con
gressonal policy. They demand that security
for the future be Incorporated in the Consti-
tuition as the conditions of Southern restora-
ton security touching the equality of all
citizens before the law; security in relation
to suffrage and representation security for
the payment of the national debt, and against
any future recognition of the rebel debt, or
claims for emancipated slaves. These secu-
rites are the ultmatum of the North and
West and wisdom and sound policy demand
their adoption and permanent incorporation
in the fundamental law of our nation.
Encouraged by the support of the Admin
istraton, and by the hope of large accessions
from the rank and file of the Union camp,
the Democracy have displayed considerable
vitality and strength in the late contest, but
it was only the spasmodic struggles of an
expiring giant The Peace Democracy can
never be galvanized into life again. President
johnson has tried the experiment and sig
nally failed and the imperative duty now
devolves upon him of preparing the States
lately in rebellion for their manifest destiny
and of inditing such a message to Congress
as will bring him into accord with the Union
majority of the two Houses which, rejecting
all extreme measures, adopted the fair and
reasonable conditions of the Constitutional
Amendments. tits to be hoped that in view
of the Ii ght of recent events Copperheads will
now cease to prate about their absurd plans
of adjustment, and will stop their twadde
in relation to restoring g the Union as it was
under Democratic auspices" The time has
now arrived when they must recognize the
fact that great political revolution has
wrought permanent and radical change in
many in. portant affairs relating to the future
government and policy of the nation. The
victors in the late war have decreed just
reconstruction of the Union on new constitu
tional guarantees, involving the expulsion
from the new compact Of those treacherous
leaders who defed and brought ruin upon
the old one. They are to be forever Danish
ed from the councils of the Republic, and the
! Southern States are to have a new era of life
and prosperity, under new leaders imbued
with new ideas. and the Copperhead Democ-
racy of the North will be consigned to the
same grave occupied by its ally and foster
parent Southern Secession.

A FEARFUL FALL.-Yesterday large
crowd congregated at the Willows to witness
the perlous feat performed before by Mile
Rosa Celeste, which was to wheel man in a
wheelbarrow on rope from stationary
pole in the enclosure to the top of the Pa
vilion. distance of three hundred and sew
enty-five feet Old Jimmy Kennovan was
engaged, but when he took his position in the
wheelharrow his courage seemed to fail him
and Mr.. De Young, who had control Of
things. told him to get out and let the man
whom she had wheeled before take his place
The crowd foolishly manifested dissatisfaction
at the change, and Kennovar insisted upon
going. The brave girl took her position.
confident that if he remained quiet she could
perform the feat Three times De Young
made him get out, buthe strongly insisted on
going, and finally they started. She had not
made but few steps when kennovan lost his
balance and SAID, g am going" Rosa tried
hard TO steady him, but he had lost conf
dence in himself, and rocked the wheelbarrow
like boat, and after every effort had been
male to save him, he pitched headlong from
the rope, dragging her with him. She re-
tanned her hold of the balance pole, and one
end striking the ground, broke her fall con-
siderahly. Kennovan was seriously if not
fatally injured. The wheel striking him on
the side of the head, severed his ear almost
off, leaving it attached by only small piece
of the cuticle. He was bruised and injured
otherwise, while she.escaped with less serious
casualties. Kennovan's history is full of
narrow escapes and deeds of daring, but this
is about the closest call he ever had, and still
hopes are entertained that he may recover.
Once while a seaman, he fell from the mast
head into the ocean, but water was a softer
place than ground at the Willows, and after
swimming for half day, was picked up and
saved. He was on the police here in an early
day, and had many hard fight with the des
peradoes that infested the city at that time.
