DEMOCRATIC GAINs.-In California tho
Democrats have gained 10000 votes; they
have gained 5000 votes in Vermont; 1900
In Maine 1000 votes in Connecticut 20
600 in Kentucky; 1000 in Rhode Island !;
1000 IN New Hampshire and 600 in Mon
tana-in seven States and one Territory, a.
OOO votes. These are not mere accidental
changes resulting from local causes. They
arise from deep-seated conviction in the
public mind that unless the party now In
power is beaten, the liberties Of the people
will be sacrificed on the alter Of political am
bitiOn and partisan prejudice aud hate.

WHAT NExT?-The Mart:nsburg INc,e
Era states that a College for the education
of cOlOred persons is about being erected at
Harper's Ferry. The pupils, we presume.
are to be imported, as our home darkies, as
yet, do not aspire quite 50 high.

SEED1NG.-Our farmers are now in the
midst Of their seeding, and the weather thus
far has been most ProPitiOus, though mod
crate rain at this time is much desired. The
amount of land being put in wheat, is, we are
informed, greatly more than the average of
the last few years, and it is the hope of all
that the perseveriug labor of the husbands
man may be crowned with abundant success.

somewhat prolific. and we believe our farmers
generally have been disposed to convert the
early fruit to its most advantage, by its man.

FIRST PRIMARY.

Miss McJohnson, as Principal, and
Miss McClain, as Assistant, are the
fortunate teachers of this school. OBJ
lection could not well be found to the
order in the First Primary. In the
recitations, it is not entirely free from
objections raised to others of similar
grade, but, in the main, the examina-
ton was creditable alike to teachers
and scholars. At the close of the ex-
animation the Superintendent spoke
of the number of cases of hardness on
the part of scholars, and applied his
remarks to parents visiting the schools
on examination days, coming in after
the exercise had commenced, to the
great annoyance of the scholars.

CLEAR THE CUTTERS 1t would
not only improve the appearance of
the city, but it would add greatly to
the public convenience, if all the gut
tiers in the city were cleared of snow
and ice. During the thaw last week,
a large amount Of water was confined
in the cutters by the accumulated
snow, and when the freeze Of Friday
night set in, this water was changed
to ice, and yesterday again the water,
impeded in its course in the cutters,
invaded the streets and rendered the
crossings Of the streets and the
mouths of alleys often inconvenient,
if not impossible. Let the cutters be

YOUNG AMERICA We met on the
street Yesterday a perfect specimen Of
/" Young America, boy evidently in
his first pair of bifurcated integu-
ments, bran new suit, very hand
some, Of which fact he seemed to be
perfectly conscious. We. measured
him. with our cane, which excened
him in hight by some two or three
inches. With hands in his pockets,
shoulders thrown back, he looked as
dignifed as an alderman, and was a
perfect picture of contentment and
self competency. It didn't matter
a straw to him whether corn was two
dollars or FIVE cents bushel.

on the persons of a little boy and girl
children of his own wife by for
mer marriage. It is case of domes-
tic infelicity, and will probably lead
to further litigation and divorce.
The mother of the children was in
court, and appeared amply able to
have defended her children. They
were about taking up the case when
we left the Justices office, at five
o'clock, and it was probably laid over
till to-day.
BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER-Two
cases were disposed of, yesterday, be-
fore Justice Walker. One was for
provoking an assault and battery,
was fined 81 90, with IS IS costs.
Another, for committing the assault
and battery, was fined So co. with
Sc IS costs. 1t all grew out of slight
difference of opinion, and an unwise
yielding to the impulses of anger.

u Running LoT:4The long suspen-
sion ohnavigationqbetween this city
and Louisville has caused almost a
famine along the river above, the
stock of most all articles of prime
necessity being nearly exhausted.
Groceries have been hauled in wag-
ons from here to Cannelton, and
Owensboro is in need of supplies.
We should think boat might get
full load here for the various towns
as far up as Cannelton, which could
be reached with little difficulty

A HINT TO SPoRTsMEN.-Under the
statutes of Indiana it will be "un-
lawful to shoot, net, trap, or other
wise capture any quail, prairie chick
en- or deer" after to-day, until next
Fall. This is a good and wholesome
law, and should be rigidly enforced
throughout the State. Sportsmen,
therefore, have but one day left in
which to enjoy such sport, and people
who delight to luxuriate in such deli
cacies and have the stamps to afford
it, had better make their purchases
soon. We notice that most of our
family grocery stores have pretty
good supply on hand We noticed at
the office of the Union Express on
Tuesday night, three or four deer,
and several sacks Of rabbits, quails
and squirrels We saw them, but
alas, we tasted them not.

found to contain 5000 in greenbacks.
Being honest men, they set about at
once to find the owner, and, being
sensible men, they came straightway
to the JOURNAL Office and advertised
it. Yesterday, the lady, who has the
good taste to read the JOURNAL, called

money, and it was handed over, She

HOPING. bright sunshine of
yesterday caused the snow to dissolve
and melted the ice to tears. The
mercury rose to $40 at noon. The
bright sunlight gave hopes to many,
and one credulous friend remarked
that he believed winter was about to
break up. The faces of steamboat
men contracted somewhat in length,
but the Superintendent of the Cairo
packet line shook his head doubling
ly. He remembered that week ago
the snow and ice were in a melting
mood, and that navigation was re-
sumed, and he also remembered last
Friday night and Saturday. We have
studied the signs pretty carefully, and
have come to the sage conclusion that
if. it gets little warmer it will thaw
more, but if it grows colder, it will
surely freeze. One thing is certain,
however, whether it freezes or thaws,
if the present Legislature continues
in session, we shall have a lash Of
more weather, and that right speed
