the town last year to the radicals, but they
met some difficulty inrepeating the program
me this year, for the workingmen organized
PROTECTIVE League, and announced their
purpose to vote. Mostof them did vote ; and
they carried the town, gaining sixty or
seventy votes.
For this assertion of their rights as free
men, the qaarrymen were notified by the
quarry owners that their services will not be
required for the year to come.
But this prescription proved too bad dose
even for the republican workingmen, on
whom the quarry-owners relied to continue
work. These men, on learning ofthe shame.
full treatment to which their fellow-workmen
had been subjected, acted like men. They
threw down their picks and drills, and told
the owners that they would no longer work. -
The result is that thousand men have,
since Tuesday, been idle at Portland, and at
all the quarries work has ceased.
A large and intensely interesting meeting
was held at Midtown last night friday to
consider what course ought to be taken by
the workingnen the quarries.: Mr.. Gall

A Retrospect

In the Washington Chronicle of October
10, 1866, there was special dispatch, as
follows:
DAVENPORT, Iowa, October %.
Say to Andrew Johnson that the city of Dayen-
pot, prices home,) which last year went demo
cratic, has now swung around the circle and given
Price, for congress, 901 majority.
JOHN L. DAVIES, Mayor.
The publication of this dispatch occasion
ed sharp correspondence in the InteItise,s-
Ger ON the one side, and the Chronicle on
the other, as to whether there had or not
been a republican gain in Davenport. 1t
was not then of much consequence to the
outside world; but in the election held in
the same city of Davenport, on the 9th in
slant, this same "John L. Davies, mayor"
who sent the clarifying dispatch to the
Chronicle six months ago, has been beaten
for the mayoralty 855 votes, and the result
is heralded by the Davenport Democrat I'M

The Election Yesterday.

Two years ago Mayor Rice was elected by
a majority of 5,629. In November last, the
republican majority in this city was 6,967
Mayor Rice was reelected yesterday by the
reduced majority of 3,93s. This is a very
handsome democratic gain, certainly.
But even better result than this is The
gain of tosa aldermen By the democracy,
viz: Comisky in the 9Th ward, Casselman
in the 18th, Schinz in the l4th, and Marsur
in the 10th.
Altogether, the democracy of Chicago
have reason to be proud of their work in
this contest. Next time. they will do better
still, and they may look forward to complete
triumph in the great trial of November, 1868.

At Jacksonville, Illinois, last summer,
Miss Katie Goltra, young lady about 10
years old. took vial of chloroform to bed

was buried. A few days ago the remains
were exhumed for removal to another GENE
