THE Cincinnati Commercial, of yes
terday, contains the following pointed
editorial paragraph, which we commend
to the attention of voters prior to de-
posting their ballots at the election to-
morrow:
"Judging from the swelling notes of
the Southern press, on the recent
Northern elections, and the wild eXul-
tAtiun with which they dwell upon the
defeat of the constitutional amendment
in Ohio, three Democratic victories in
the Northern States would be thought
equivalent to the re-establishment OF
slavery, and four would put the South
ern ConfederaCy on its legs. We ask
Democrats who love their country, TO
look at and into these things"
We fancy that the Richmond press
would express themselves in II special
ly exultant manner over the news of
Democratic victory in West Virginia.
We can imagine the Examiner coming
out with that immortal quotation from
Shakespeare about "the winter OF our
discomfort having been made glorious
summer" &c. OF course Henry A.
Wise would At once be serenaded, and
he would take occasion TO repeat
and enlarge upon what he said last
Thursday about the old State being still
one and undivided from the Ches-
apeRke to the Ohio. BE prayed in that
speech that westVirginia's night might
''soon wane," aud that the "mists
around her mountains" might soon
melt into morn" and her flights
awake the world" and we presume
that he would regard the news OF a
Democratic victory among us as a suit
fclent answer to his prayer-sunicieut
at least to warrant him in developing
some elaborate programme for the re-
indignation of the ancient Dominion.
He. in common with the Richmond edi-
tors, and all the old leaders oyer there
would understand and appreciate the
sipnificance of democratic victory in
west Virginia. They know into what
sort of a rose bud of that character
would naturally bloom in due course
of nature. To them 1t would be g
bright augury of the New State
returning again to their fold. They
know, as Wise once said, "by instinct
the proclivities of their sympathizer'
everywhere, and also the logical Sc
ouence of any such first step Richmond
wards as Democratic victory in IVES
Virginia.
But that day of regret for US and re
ioicing for the old Virginia rebels is
we trust, very far in the future-So tai

Imnre..Ire Truths.

In the last mum her of HdTpeT'S week
" there are two editorial articles that
contain some reflections well worthy 10
be borne in mind on the eve of an i'm
portant election, like that occurring to-
morrow in West Virginia.
These articles in full will be found
on our first page.
For the sake of convenience, and in
order that every reader may not omit
to run over the points embraced in the
articles, we cnu and abridge some of
them from their cOntexts as follows:-
1.-THE earnest. vigorous youth OF the
country, inspired by the great idea of
liberty, have justly learned to associate
the name of the Democratic party with
all that is reactionary and anti-Ameri-
can"
They learned to see that no man
could openly and heartily denoHncs
human slavery, and remain Demo-
crat."
"when the war came, they saw that
no man could wholly support it AS a
hopeful movement for human liberty,
as well as the Union, without being
discarded by the Democratic party"
..They read Gn Democratic papers)
apologies for treason and traitors re-
belling to save slavery, and iucessant
sneers at the President and the Govern
ment, which, TO save the Union, sacli-
feed slavery"
"They saw the Democratic opposition
to the draft, to tax alton, to alyigorous
efforts for National safety"
"rhey saw the Democratic party in
the East nominating Thomas and Ho-
ratio Seymour, and in the West, Val
Iaudigham; and finally heard it shout
with exultation, at Chicago, that the
war had failed"
1.-THE Union soldiers remember very
well that it was Democratic Secretary
OF War who put hundreds of thousands
ofarms and tons of ammunition into the
hands of rebels"
"They remember that it was Demo-
cratic Secretary OF the Navy who sent
all the National ships out OF reach"
THAT Democratic leaders told the
rebels that the war should not be con-
fined to the South"
That Democratic papers and orators
called the Union army and navy "Lin-
coin hirelings, ''-"miniOns ola satrap''
and "bummers.
That Democratic leaders called the
summons to arms 'usurpation' and
tyranny"
THAT Democrats organized knights
OF the Golden Circle"-"Sons of Lib
erty'-resisted the draft-incited riots
asked sneeringly, with Horatio Sey-
mour, "where are those victories?"
THAT they were Democratic legisla-
lures which refused vote to soldiers
in the field"
THAT if anything could have made
the war failure. and tue deaths of
hundreds of thousands of their brave
comrades useless sacrifice, it was the
action of the Democratic party"

THE girls of New England are on
their travels. We find the following in
a late number of the Portland Press:
"Three young ladies from this city join
three from Lowell, Massachusetts, and
one from Salem, and the seven will
leave for Europe on the 18th, with the
intention of studying the languages,
music and painting in Prussia and
France. Three months will be passed
in Berlin and the remainder in the
cities of France. They go unaccompa-
MED, and will remain abroad about six
months.

IT is curious to see how the reason
ing of political writers-more anxious
to establish some particular crotchet OF
their own than to get at the truth-often
comes round in circle. The Charles
ton Mercury is very severe on the peo-
pie of the North for disregarding the
Constitution. "There can be no stabil-
ity in the Government of any country"
it says. with every citizen possessing
the right to resist its lars whenever they
deem it expedient to do So" That is
precisely what we insisted on during
the rebellion. The great object of the
war was TO prevent resistance to the
law" and TO establish the Constitution
as the supreme law of the land. The
work, moreover, was pretty thoroughly
done,

WE notice that the Washington cor
respondents are to be "dined" by the
proprietors of Wizards. Wehops they
will have good time OF it. "Mean-
time" observes the New York Times,
Couldn't they occupy portion OF
their time usefully in deyising some
means for getting little truth into
their dispatches now and then-Or
rather for avoiding such n steady, I'M
interrupted stream of inventions and
contradictions day after day? They
may not be aware OF it, but 1t is true
that the public at large is losing all faith
in the dispatches from Washington.
Nothing any longer commands conf
dence. People read them from curiosi-
ty, but they place no reliance in them.
II correspondents would be a little less
anxious to get ahead OF each other with
sensational stories, and little more
anxious to UeTiLy their stories before
they send them, they would render
much better service to all concerned"

that, on one occasion, he sent his wife

journey was a most troublous one, and

In consequence of an error in trans
cribing from the official records at Har-
risburg, the Democratic majority in
Pennsylvania was placed too high.
The Telegraph has revised the figures,
and settles the majority at 922, instead
of /, 2O2. The losses from last year are
in all 81, $50, or lO]z per cent, OF which
the Republicans lose 0,44l on their
vote for Geary last October, or a little
over l3 per cent, and the Democrats
22,2l7 on their vote for Clymer, about
tx per cent.

gladly responded to.
There are millions and millions Of

Buffalo Cats.

The local editor of the Buffalo
Commercial makes an estimate Of
the number of cats in that city,
which may be interesting to ourread-
ers. He says that Oh four streets he
was passing through the other even
ing he counted 399 cats, and presum-
ing this a fair average there are
about 43, 600 eats in Buffalo:
This same enumerator Of cats goes
on to say Now cat that is at all
heavy will weigh four pounds, which
would make in the aggregate one
hundred and eighty-four thousand
and four hundred pounds Of cat
When this cat is manufactured into
sausages, allowing for the addition
ofseasoning and so forth, it will yield,
say two hundred thousand pounds.
Good square North American sau-
sages are worth l6 cents per pound.
From this we find that in the simple
article of cat sausages alone, the
city Of Buffalo does a business Of
S32 900. The manufacture of dog,
liver, blood, and other sausages,
which is here carried on to a consid-
era bic extent, we have not taken in
to account Had we done so, the
grand total would doubtless have
been much larger. Enough has been
given to show that one branch Of

The new bounty bill which has just
passed congress, is a perfect outrage
on many sections of the country. 1t
provides, in computing the amount
Of bounty at eight and one third dol
lars per month, that the amount paid
the enlisted man by any state, coun-
ty, city, town or voluntary associa-
shall be deducted from the amount
found due from the /. S. 1t is es-
timated that an appropriation of
eighty millions m ore money will be
necessary for the payment of boun-
ties under this bill. The effect of
the bill will be to compel those sec,
tions of the country which were lib,
eral and paid large local bountics tc
pay just as much of these eighty mil.
lions of dollars, in the shape of taxes,
as that penurious and illiberal sec.
tion of the country where no local
bountics were given, For instance
Fayettc county gave only $50 as
local bounty to volunteers, while
Howard county gave $500, and un-
der the workings of this bill Howard
county has got to contribute equally
with her more wealthy neighbor to
the treasury of the United States to
enable the general goyernme to
make up for Fayette county what it
has kept back from the soldie,
through illiberality and penurious.

This bounty bill was evidently
framed in the interest of the East,
