Speaking of the result of the election

geous circumstances surrounding the
Democratic party at the late election, il
it was not entirely successful it may

enemy entirely from the field, it has left

OUR SABBATH SCHooLs.-Clarksbure
is empbatically city of Sabbath
Schools. All the children in the town
or nearly all of them, attend, and many
of them attend two, each Sabbath
There is school at each of the Churches
and a mission Sabbath School at the
Depot. There is also flourishing Sab
bath School at the Pinnikinnick Coal
Mines. This augurs well for the rising
generation. We hope that if there are
any in the city who do not take an in
terest in Sabbath Schools that they
will speedily become interested and en-
gage in the good work.
The Telegraph sets forth some new
views in relation to possible corruptions
in the Radical party. 1t has the honor
to be the first Radical journal in the
State to admit that fraud or incompe-
tency can exist among "loyap officials.
Referring to alleged abuses in connec-
ton with the Penitentiary and Lunatic
Asylum, the Telegraph says:
1t will be a duty devolving upon the
Legislature, at its approaching session,
to investigate these charges. They are
too grave to be thrown aside, and sim
ply call them ''rebel lies" If they are
rebel lies let them be investigated and
proved to be such. II, upon their in
vestigation, they are found to be true,
let the abuses be corrected in the most
summary manner. The Union party
must be q party of economy, and il
must be an honest party, and q faithful
guardian of the trusts reposed in it.
aud if it has any servants who are un'
faithful, let them be cast ont.

The pernicious system of "Orders" il
