Democratic Gains.

One who needed only the uproarious re-
joicings Of the Democratic press over the
California election, might think that the Re-
publican party was about to collapse and
pass entirely out of existence But that is
not quite the fact The election of a Gov
ernor in California is the only point gained
over which the Democracy have legitimate
reason to rejoice. We are not certain about
Congressman from that State, but it is prob
able that two of them are Republicans. =
Now let US see what wonderful gains the
Democrats have made in the only place where
gains can do them any good-that is, in the
House of Representatives 1.-THE Senate is be-
yond their reach for half q century, The
relative strength of parties in the last and
present Congresses is as follows:

why GEN. Lee Resigned.

|, The Tifin Advertiser. published at The
bome of Gen. Lee, the Republican can.
aidate for Lieutenant Governor, says:
MANY Of our exchanges are asking
why General Lee resigned after the bat
tie Of Chancelorville The only informa
lion We are able to give is that at the battle
named, his horse became frightened and
ran away with the Generator Colonel
at that time-and he was unable to get
back to see the battle out, losing his hat
and coat in the excitement. He didn't
like his experience under fire and soon
after resigned. If the Colonel has any
other reason, we would like to hear from
him, as the people appear to have Gu.
riosity to know why be lef the army in
such haste.
