D0y- The election 10 Kentucky has re-
suited in a Democratic triumph by a
majority estimated at 10000 We shall
know the figures more fully by the noon
dispatches, which viii appear with this
in their proper column. 1t is believed
the Democrats have carried seven
Fights Of the members of the legisla-
ture. 1t is great victory, exceeding
anything before known in the history OF
the State. 1t shows the loathing which
high.souled men have there for what is
ineffably mean and contemplate. Such
unanimity among the voters OF great
State is otherwise unaccountable. Ordi-
narily you could not raise a question so
absurd, even if you put half fool in it,
that you would not get more voters for
the fools side by two to one, than Ken
lucky has now given the Radical ticket
There is gain over the last Democratic
vote of about fifty per cent We shall
hereafter give the exact figures.
The Kentucky papers say that our
Tennessee farce was north 10000 Uotes
TO the Democratic side We run the
thing in the ground" SO completely here
as to open the eyes Of all the blind
except the few who will not see.
In the midst Of our own overthrow and
degradation we are glad to say that not
all our friends are involved. And we
will add that If you win row but unite
the hands of Tennessee and let all
honest men vote, she will rival her sister
even with the weight Of the black vote TO
carry. We have experience. We have
seen the infamous thing. This vice is
monster of such frightful mien as to
be eternally hated needs but to be seen,

s A Washington dispatch to the
morning papers says; The following
facts have been obtained at the National
Currency Bureau The Unadillo National
bank went into voluntary liquidation
June 20, in accordance with the provis'
ions of the National Currency act. Early
in July certificate was issued by the
Bank Superintendent of the state of New
York, giving authority to organize the
bank under the laws of the State, and at
the time of its failure both the Bank Su-
perintendent and officers of the bank
insisted that it was a State bank. The
liabilities are small, not exceeding
1000, and securities on deposit with the
United States Treasurer are about $40, 900
more than enough to redeem its circula-
ton. The liabilities of some individual
stockholders are large, but these are en-
tirely distinct from the banks liabilities.
