The following are the majorities in the
several Townships of Marshall County:
Total Democratic majority. GIL

Mrs. LIyCoLN.-The New York papers
are commenting very severely upon the
recent conduct Of Mrs. a. Lincoln, in
offering for sale her wardrobe at a pawn
brokers' Office on Broadway, and denoun-
cling Thurlow Weed, Billy Seward, and
sundry officials, who owe their positions
to Mrs. LIS influence, while mistress of the
Presidential mansion. Mrs. Lincoln states
that she is forced to dispose of her shawls,
dresses, diamonds, etc, in order to obtain
means to maintain herself The radicals,
it seems, accuse her with rebel sympathies
and refuse to give her anything. We
suggest that the radical thieves-revenue
collectors, bureau agents, x-gatherers
and others Of Lincoln's minions, appropri-
ate one-half ofone per cent of their steal
ings to Mrs Lincoln. This would enable
her to live in royal style.

DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY In
MARSHALL COUNTY
@ IA =

The eelction for Clerk, Surveyor and
Commissioner in this county, on Tuesday
last, passed of peacably, and resulted in a
complete route Of the mongrel party. The
unofficial majority for the Democratic tick
ct is Ga, a gain Of about 800. Center
Township, which last fall gave a Demo-
cratic majority of 139, last Tuesday gave
the white ticket 240 majority. The RAIDS.
were out In full force--they had their
teams at work gathering in the lame, the
halt and the weak-hearted. Never did
men work more zealously than did the few
radical leaders in this place on Tuesday.
and never before were they so oyerwhelm-
ed with defeat. They confidently expect
ed that their huge circular, charging cor
ruptlon, farud and extravaganza upon our
county officials, would greatly influence
the public mind in their behalf, when in
reality it worked like charm in favor of
the Democracy, and won many converts
to The true faith. To what will they at
tribute their defeat this fall9 When the
abolition, niger war was in progress, and
the county was from 200 to 500 Demo-
ocratic, their principle cry then was, "walt
till the soldiers come home" After the
soldiers came hame, and the county con-
tinued to give its accustomed Democratic
majority, they had nothing to hope for un-
til the passage of the registry law, when
they told us we could no longer stuff the
brllot-box, and they would carry the coun.
ty. Poor, deluded RAIDS The first cleo
ton under the registry law has just been
held, The result is glorious we are
prouder of the rOble Democracy of Mar

the Germans worked with the same zeal.

PRESENTS FOR POLITICAL FAvORS.

The letters are all but confession that
the political favors and places obtained and
given away by Mrs. Lincolu's influence
with her husband were regarded by that
lady In the light of personal pergusites, to
he disposed of either for presents or for
hattery, as the whim might seize her
Let her take up each present, state from
whom received. and, further, label it " it'll
memorandum Of the probable profits in
place, or on some shoddy contract or per-
NIT to buy cottud, which the presenter
must have Melted. Ia this manner we
think it might be found that the actual
value returned by Mrs Lincoln influence
to gentleman who presented her with a
carriage aud pair of horses--certainly
not costing over two thousand dollars. and
very likely a similar exhibit might show
that every shawl and dress and article of
jeweiry In her collection, must have been
paid for (fnally by tie country at the
same e1travagant rate.

TEE GREAT VICTORY!

Never since the formation of the American
Government has the country witnessed such
complete victory in favor of free institu-
tions, and against oppression, as was won in
the great States Of Ohio and Pennsylvania on
last Tuesday. Last year the Republican ma
jority was 17,173 in Pennsylvania, and $4,000
in Ohio. Speaking of the result in Ohio,
the Times says no Democrat has been for a
moment so sanguine as to expect that the
State could be carried against the Republi
cans. and no Republican has doubted for a
moment the events of q Republican majority
of ut least twenty five thousand. Behold
from an intelligent source at Columbus we
are assured that the Democracy have elect cd
their candidate for Governor, by majority
Of 10000, and have crrricd both houses of the
Legislaturc,-in which latter event Benjamin
+. Wade cannot be returned to the Uuited
States Senatc,-the Senator, we have been
told, who should succeed to the Presidency
on the impeachment of Mr. Johnson. The
negro amendment to the State Constitution
is defeated by 10000
Iowa has greatly reduced the radical ma
jority, and Indiana has gone Democratic

the victorious Democracy of the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in every
township, in every county, in every State,
and in fact throughout the broad domain
of the American Republic, where bayonets
have Lot taken the place of ballots, the
verdict of the people announces the death
and burial of TIE traitorous radical party.
Let the people thank God Z. The day Of
deliverance has come, and the Rump Par
lament at Washington will not dare to
pursue their revolutionary course in the
face of the righteous verdict CT an outraged
people. Let them take warning from the
verdict just pronounced against them for
attempting to rob the people of their Re-
public. lest they find themselves, ere an
other tvelvemonth, enjoying the humilia-
ting spectacle Of the Rump Parliament
after its dissolution by Wellington They
must not forget their 'little bells" their

tyrants commanding Northern military dis
tricts.

The disclosures concerning Mrs. Lin
coln's alleged dcstitution, and her efforts
to sell portions of her wardrobe, excite
much comment here but do not surprise
people. as her extrav ,gant habits while ut
the white house were matters of common
notorlety; but how she has managed to
squander the S25 900 given her by Con-
gress, in less than two years, is a mystery
to many, who can not credit the statement
The interest alone of this sum-. if proper
y invested, would have been sufficient to
have supported her comfortably during her
lifetime 1t Is known that AIr. Lincoln
LETT nearly $50, 900 at his death, and the
sale OF his property after death, brought
considerable sum Of money
New York Dispatch to same paper
Mrs. Lincoln still remains here, and in
sists on the sale Of her personal effects at
auction. Prominent members of the Tn
ion League visited her last night and offer
ed to raise her a large sum of money for
her support, provided she will recant and
take her clothes back to her house. This
offer she refused in the most uncracious
manner. and said she was bent on punish
ing certain prominent politicians, among
whom are Weed, Greeley, Raymond, Sew
ard and johnson. She supposes she is
doing an injury to the Republican party
by this course. She has been put up to
this by her relatives, the Todd family who
gave the late President Lincoln SO much
trouble
