Extracts from "a Democratic news.

The Cincinnati Commercial says that
Brick Pomeroy's paper, the La Cross
CYYisconsin) Democrat, has a weekly
circulation of 20 600 copies And it is
stated that nifty numbers OF it are taken
in one town in Niagara county, n. Y.
AS a sample OF the kind of reading in
it that makes it thus popular with the
Democracy, we quote Us follows from
recent editorial in its columns:
"LincoIni As everything concern
ing the sbawl-coyered coward, who
stole his WAY through Baltimore-who
ignored the Constitution he swOre be-
fore high heaven to defend-whom made
the walls of the White House ring with
the laughter Of his iithy admirers as
he related has bawdy, GrOg-shop jokes
who was SO enectually halted one
night as he was marching on from sin
to crime, by gentleman named Booth,
possesses AN interest, we give below n
lew lines concerning the reltct of the
late lamented.
at Is shame! Yes, a crying shame,
that the marshy-nosed winners and
sap-rag wringers who wept, howled and
patted their bellies, rubbed their heads,
cursed honest men, and sniveled for
thirty days after the great martyr
pegSed out, do not show their love of
their smutty -tongued saint by caring
for his widow, poor Mrs. Lincoln, who
is compelled TO sell $4,000 worth of
gew-gaws or starve."
And here is another extract, exhibit
ing the Democratic view of rebellion:
"Rebellion crimel Liar in your
throat, Phil. Sheridan. Every hour
jusiities the acts of those who from Bill
Run to Richmond, through four years
OF battle and blood, sacrifices and strug-
giles, lubored, suffered, fought, died for
the cause of civil freedom. Every pass
ing day proved the soundness OF their
Judgment, the wisdom of those who
strove for independence. Every re-
volving year makes the lost cause
more sacred to the lovers of liberty,
dearer to the hearts of those who were
faithful to it from its inception to its

The Recent Election In Marion Coun-
for Members OF the House of Del
egates.
FA1Kxoxr, W. VA, Nov. I, '67.
Editors Inteui1encer:
You will perhaps be greatly surprised
TO learn that ]. N. Boyd, editor of the
VedetCe, has gone over into the tender
EN- brace the Democratic party. Such,
however, must be the case, else why
would he, in the face of facts to the con-
Irary, announce victory for that
party in the late election in this county
for members OF the House OF Delegates ?
That he did this, need only 10 refer
you to his paper OF the ID inst, in which
he explicitly announces the election OF
BENJAMIN Fleming. and Geo. w. Martin
as Democrats. This statement is, to say
the least of il, simply false. The Dem
Ocrats had no candidate in the tield,
and hence they claimed no victory un-
til Mr.. Boyd unexpectedly informed
them that such was really the fact; the
old, time hOnored Democratic party
was again in the ascendancy in this
county. Now, with all due Difference
to Mr.. Boyd's opinion, land every body
that knows him, knows that his opinion,
i'll his own estimation, is ponderouS
concern,) l wish to say that the Demo
cratic party had no candidate or cundi-
dates in the field, that they had no vic
tory, and that Mr.. Boyd's statement is
not correct The facts in the case are
simply these: DIR. Dorsey and G. w.
Martin were the regular nominees of
the Republican party, and Benjamin
Fleming was an independent candi-
date. Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Fleming
were elected. Mr.. Fleming ran, against
Mr.. Dorsey as tour tar man, but not
as Democrat or Conservative. He
never was a Democrat, nor is not one
now, nor did he run AS such to defeat
DR.. Dorsey. He is II good Union man,
and always has been, and l am conf
dent that his acts or votes in the
Legislature will prove that | am
to Mr.. Martin, have only to say that
he ran through on the Republican
ticket and was elected. II he is not
true and honest in his professions of
fidelity to the party, his acts in the
Legislature will tell on him. Mr.. Boyd
electioneered, and, am told, voted Tor
him. Why then does he call him a
Democrat? Does he wish or desire to
sell out the Republican party? iris he
mad because everybody did not do like
he did, that is, vote for Mr..
Martin, whom he calls Demo-
crat, and DIR. Dorsey? Can he
or will he explain? The people are in
dignant at his course, and are patiently
waiting for his explanation.
Assuring you that the good people of
Marion have not lowered the standard
of the great Republican party, but
ant existence,
am, very truly,
Your ob't serv't,
REPUBLICAN,

A dispatch to the Sew York Wortd
claims that the result in Wisconsin is
in doubt. This is hardly likely, how
ever. rs the Republican majority last
year WAS 2, sos. out of a total vote OF
1874, 7a9, and we shall want more proof
than a partisan dispatch to show that IL
has been overcome.
The New York Tribune comedies the
result in that State to the Democrats 10y
about 40. 900 majority. Last year The
Republican majority was 1879 out of
torui vote OF us, 81. The Democratic
minority in the city last year was AZ
1856, but on Tuesday il was swelled up
to GO,OOO.
The Maryland election reminds US OF
the voting that occurred in that State al
the time Baltimore was under mob
law in 1851, the result being then, as
now, all one way. Pretty much ali OF
MnryIand's large contingent in the re-
belIlun seems to have returned and re-
sumed their old practice Of voting the
Democratic ticket. y special dispatch
to the Philadelphia EUe5iing Telegraph,
says that "the Legislature is unani.
mnus!y Democratic in both houses.
There is not a solitary Republican can
diduts for any Office elected throughout
the state"
The same paper commenting upon
the general result of the elections on
Tuesday, sums up the following con
clu.inn OF the whole matter:
a.. -
Republican principles in this country
il concerned, we are not in the least
cast down. These principles are tha
basis of free government, and, unless
the experiment Ul Tree government Is
TO prove failure, they must in the end
prevail. The country - suIl, TO a GER
tain extent. under the deadly Influence
of the system OF human slavery that 30
long cursed IL. The virus Is not yet
thoroughly eliminated from its Veins
The Uublic conscience has not yet fully
reco.ered its normal tone after its long
debnuchment. There is still great
work OF popular education ana en-
ughtenmenT to be done But all the
tendencies of the times are in our favor
'rhe tide of the worlds thought is all
towards freedom and enfrnnChisemeut,
These temporary defeats are but eddles
In the current that sweeps irresistlblY
onwArdl To every true Republican
the same in defeat AS IN Viclory-wt
say, therefore, grid on your nrmoT
anew. Be not dismayed. Truth, the
dictates ofJustice, the principles of free
government, the hopes Of human pro
Srrss and elevation ARE all on our side
Permanent defeat Is impossible. we
shall vet behold the full realization o.
our highest hopes and the complete
triumph OF our glorious cause es'
terday is already behind our backs
The future Is ours.

a NEW and valuable agent, whereby
surgical operations are painlessly per-
formed, without the risk which has
hitherto attended chloroform, has just
been discovered by an English physi-
clan, who publishes an account of it in
the London Medical Tunes. He states
that by the use of this agent, in one
case, perfect insensibility was produced
in four minutes; in the second case in
about six minutes; and in both instan-
ces where it was used the patients gill
ded, so TO speak. into complete anathe-
STA without a struggle. This new agent
is the bi.chloride of methylence, which
differs from chloroform in the rapidity
with which 1t produces perfect insensi-
biliiy. In one case, in warm room,
the IMPORTATION of the fluid was so
rapid that frost was produced on the
vessel containing ii.

AN express baggage case of import
auce was recently tried in Brooklyn.
An express company contested claim
of about two thousand dollars for the
loss OF trunk and its contents. The
defence set up was that on the backs OF
the receipt given to the owner of the
trunk it was stipulated that the com
pany would not hold itself liable for
any jewelry, nor for any value above
one hundred dollars Such printed
notice; it was commended, was a contract
which, when accepted, bound the owner
of the property entrusted to their care.
The Judge held that in the hurry OF
railroad travel it would be Impossible
for every person to read the printed
matter on the back of such receipts be-
fore accepting them, and he therefore
instructed the jury to bring in a YER
dict, which they did for the full amount
clDimed. This verdict is in accordance
with II long course of decisions by
which our courts seek to protect the
travelling community against the en-
croRchments OF corporations. That the
when it is considered that in these
present times OF high prices very few
trunks, even OF clothing, are ever car
risd, which their owners would value
at so low a sum as one hundred dollars.
\ lady's silk dress would almost reach
that amount i'll value.

y GREAT number OF young men are
said 10 have lately adopted in France
the profession of arms, and the UMPIRE

during the present season is reported TO
be due not only to the prospect OF active
hostilities, so alluring to youthful
minds, opened up in the programme Of
the future, but to the rum brought on
thousands of French families by the
failure of the dividends OF the Mexican
loan, which might as well have been
