hSy- To give the reader a clear idea Of
the mognitude Of tbe undertaking. IN
which Mr.. Weston - engaged, and the
great power of endurance necessary In
order to accomplish the feat, the Hart
ford Times has made an estimate Of the
number of steps which he would have to
take for the whole distance of 1926 miles,
including the number for each day and
each hour. There are $3.50 feet in n
mile, and at his ordinary gait Weston
would probably average just about thirty
inches TO each stride, in which case he
would have TO make 2,5s9,3i2 steps in
going the entire distance from Portland
to Chicago. Limiting the actual time
Of travel to &c days, he will have to take
$1,000 steps per day; and if he travels
on an average l6 hours per day, he will
have to make 1898 steps for each Of the ld
hours. Can he keep up this constant
strain of nerve and muscle l6 hours a
day for &c consecutive days2

Terrible CONGREGATION in the Woods o.
Southern Illinois.

The Cairo Democrat, of yesterday,
furnishes an account of fire in the
woods of Southern Illinois and Missouri,
which is sweeping through hundreds of
miles. 1t says;
For distance of nearly a hundred
miles along the Illinois Central railroad,
throughout large portion of Alexander
and Pulaski counties, and wide scope
of Southern Missouri, in forest and field,
prairie and hill, the destroying element
is sweeping, and No power has been able
to stay it,
The sight is one of awful grandeur.
Fences, embraced within the sweeping
conhagration, look like monster serpents
Of FIRE, stretching from plain to hillside (;
the crash of falling limbs and Trees is
heard on every hand, giving out by their
fall million sparks that gem the dense
black smoke like diamond sparkles on
curtain ofjet
In the central portions of this county
much damage has been done. Fences
and barns, fine timber and stacks of
grain have been destroyed, and no power
seems sufficient to check the onrushing
destroyer
In Southeast Missouri, Negro Wool
swamp, or the dead grass and timber
therein, is a mass of fame and bulk of
fire.
The woods in Union county are also
being swept by the Unsuitable devoHrer.
In the night time the scene is fearfully
grand. All around is seen the cracking,
raging flame, leaping from limb to limb,
following the tortuous windings of the
long worm fences, and covering the
earth with q cleaning mantle of fire.
The damage sustained already cannot
be estimated. Everywhere the farmers
are busy fighting back the fire; but while
breaking the ranks in this place, are
Aanked in that; while making Roadway
here, are losing ground there. Cairo is
enveloped in smoke.

The President of the United States, as
IA his duty, is holding up the Constitution

subordinate officers 10 aid him IN main
tanning that organic law which is III ;

lending statesmen taking the position
that Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens does Upon
the theory of Mr.. Stevens, that Congress

upon the motto, the whole boundless

any outside territory is able to impose
upon the material power Of the United

act of Congress outside the Constitution,
we can annex those islands and snap our
fingers at the weak powers to whom they

there is any analogy between the

put the Southern States and that of the
Territories not yet organized into States,

Nav YoRK, November 20.-A Wash
ingion special says that considerable
canvassing is going on among theWestern
men relative to the Secretaryship Of the
Senate. Strong pressure will be brought
to have Colonel Forney displaced, to
make room for Sc election from the West,
1t is argued by prominent persons from
that region that their section of country
is not fairly represented in the public
Offices, hence they propose an onslaught
in force to carry out their idea OF an equal
distribution.
The Times special says it is quite
probable that after meeting on Thursday
the House will adjonrn over until Mon.
day, as time will be necessary to enable
the Speaker to make his committees.
The counsel for JEFF Davis have mott.
fed the government council that they
will be ready to proceed with the trial
on the 25th inst, and that, they are
anxious to have it occur this term.
Court stands adjourned till that date,
and Chief Justice Chase will pro-
coed to Richmond again to be
present at the beginning of the trial.
Although everything looks now as though
the trial would actually take place, yet
there is an impression prevailing among
those best informed that it will be post
poned.

Total Democratic..,.............~.r,.......



From this il is assumed that the Re-
pGblicans will have majority of fifty
three in the electoral college, without
counting any votes from the ten unre-
constructed States. This is about as
Unreasonable an estimate as could be
made. The folly of claiming Ohio d.
rectly after the overwhelming political
revolution in that State, which upset the
Radical party and transferred the Legis'
lature to Democratic control, is too APP
parent to require further comment 1t
is scarcely less foolish and presumptu-
GUS to claim Indiana, where the late
local elections furnished unmistakable
signs that the State has returned to its
old Democratic love, and that Radiealism
is doomed in that State. Minnesota and
Wisconsin were 30 nearly snatched out
of the hands of the Radicals at the late
elections, and the Radical majorities,
once large, are now so miserably and
ominously small, that we rather admire
the assurance which so positively credits
those States TO the Radical side of the
slate for 1868. The Democratic victories
and large gains in every portion of Illi-
nois last week, furnish but poor reason
for claiming that State as Radical
Let us look at matters as they really
stand. The following States have held
general elections this year and gone
Democratic:
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1867-11-20

Democrats have one hundred and forty
eight Of the two hundred aud forty-nino
Northern electoral votes, or a majority
of foriy-seven. But Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois are nbt the only States foolishly
claimed by the Radicals. West Virginia
they came so near losing that Il is
scarcely certain that they hold il now
That State must be stricken out Of their
positive calculations. SO must Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. IL Mis-
souri, is allowed to speak she will 90
overwhelmingly Democratic. Everybody
knows that. As liberal estimate 1t
may be conceded that the Radicals will
carry next year Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Nevada, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Tennessee and Vermont casting in all
sixty.three, electoral votes The Radicals
have no reason for assurance in claiming
a single State outside of those. The
Democrats may reasonably calculate on
carrying all the remainder. They have
the elections of this year to Judge by
This would give them 1876 of the 2i9
electoral votes, or a majority OF l2S
Even if the Radicals should bring in the
ten excluded States to help them out,
the above figures show that the Democrats
would slaughter them in the Electoral
College, for the electoral vote of the ten
excluded States is less than 100. The
Northern Democratic majority OF l23
would strangle the 100 at once. The
Radicals might as well recognize the fact
that they have not the next President in
their bag yet, nor do the elections of this
year warrant them in "betting high
that they will have him. The Democrats
have the inside track so far.-St. Louis

THE NEXT ELECTORAL VOTE.

Republican journals are engaging in
calculations upon the vote which may be
expected in 1868 for the Radical Presi-
Dental candidate. Some Of their esti'
mates are exceedingly wild, including as
Radical States which have this year gone
Democratic, and ignoring utterly all the
signs of the times, as furnished by the
elections of 1867. One of the most in
telligent of these calculators comforts
the Republicans with the assurance that
"eyen on the basis of the late elections"
they can elect their nominee in 1868, and
presents the following table as showing
the electoral vote as it will stand next
wear.

The bell at the peuitentiary tapped at
five o'clock, signal to fall into line and

gang made break and endeavored to
escape. The guards raised their guns
and prepared to shoot, but, without firing,
succeeded in halting sixty-seven of the
number. Seven of the negro con.
victs, led by horse thief named Mathew
Jeffries, escaped and ran toward the
river. One of the guards followed, shot
at them twice, aud, it is believed, wound
ed one, MS he gave vent to significant
howl. On hearing the firing the warden,
with nine guards, proceeded from the pris-
on in the direction which the escaped con-
victs had gone. The latter having, how
ever, had the start, and the evening being
very hazy, only three were recaptured.
The sixty seven convicts had, in the
meantime, been taken back to the prison.
From these the warden learned that the
plot had been Matching for the past five
days. Guards have been sent to look up
the four that are still out-NaShUilie
