Malignant Militia.

A letter from Baltimore to the
Washington Star says the Maryland
Militia will cost the taxpayers not
less than $4,000 the first year, and
this in the face of the formal report
of the Treasurer and Comptroller de-
claring the Treasury bankrupt. The
writer says: f.s -llaa.
The subject of our State Militia is
almost the absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation just now in the city. 1t could
hardly be otherwise 10 view of the
fact that our four or FIVE thousand
militiamen appear nightly under the
eyes of the Baltimore public, march
ing hither and thither in squads or
companies, uniformed in rebel gray,
armed to the teeth, and reminding
all most forcibly of the constant scenes
in our thoroughfares, when the pres
ervation of the Union against the
reasonable and murderous acts of so
many of these. same militia officers
and men made this city's military &C.
cupation a vital necessity
Copperhead papers are ominously
silent as to the object in view in
organizing and drilling this Militia.
We trust the Governors of the adjoin-
ing loyal States will see to it that
forces are in readiness to thwart any
revolutionary attempts these Mary
landers may make. 1t is worse than
folly for the friends of the Govern
ment to close their eyes to what is
transporting in that 7rebellious State.
That the movement of the Militia is
in harmony with President JOHN
SONS wishes is evident from the
apparent Indifference he manifests in
regard to it. The next sixty days
promise to be full Of startling events

The Stolen PaDer,

The JOURNAL OF yesterday had several
quot ations from "the Courier of this morn
ing How did they obtain this copy of
our paper? Not honestly. If The editors
of he JOURNAL had called upon MS and
asked US to give them a copy OF our paper,
we would have complied with the request
We have never done a mean thing in our
life, nor have we taken any undue or un-
fair advantages of our political opponents.
But what VIII be said. of men who pre-
tended to be religious and pious, who will
either steal themselves or employ other
men 20 steal for them copy of our paper
before its publication day? Now. this is a
matter that can't be, lodged or eyaded.
On the same morning that both papers
were issued the JOURNAL contained ex-.
tracts from the g Courier of this morning."
Now we don't know, or don't pretend TO
know, by what means the JOURNAL IN en-
obtained this copy of our paper in advance
of our publication day, but we do know
that IL was not done honestly. In law,
there is no difference between the thief
that steals the goods of others and the man
who receives and conceals them. In which
category do the editors of the JOURNAL
want to stand :? Let themansw er.-Ooarier.
AS you don't know, or don't pre-
tend to know, by what means the
JOURNAL men obtained "a copy of your
paper in advance of publication
day, you are guilty of falsehood in
saying you know it was not done
honestly. At a. late hour on Monday
night a copy OF the outside of Tues

out any solicitation, and without any
instigation, on our part. Wesupposed
that the editors were so impressed with
the Importance and smartness of the

Rejoicing.


The Democracy yesterday were
wonderfully enthusiastic and jubilant.
Their victory was SO much beyond
their expectations that they hardly
knew how to give expression to their
joy. Shouts and drinks were the or
der of the day. In the evening they
pressed a cannon into service and
banged away for long time. The
Republicans, on the other hand,
though disappointed and chagrined,

Election Returns.

The election returns from all the
States are, as far as yet reported. in
complete, but there is no doubt of
the success of the Democratic ticket
in Pennsylvania, by perhaps 1000
majority. The Democratic majority
in Philadelphia is estimated at $500.
As far as heard from in Indiana,
the Republican majorities of the last
election have been very generally
maintained. St. Joseph County gives
about l, 900 majority for the Republi-
can ticket; Laporte County from 500
to 600, and Elkhart about 500. The
town of South Bend gives Republi-
can majority OF 439, against 2l4 last
year-a gain of 224 Marion County
gives a majority of 1000 for the
County ticket.
The returns from Iowa are meagre,
and indicate Democratic gains in
some parts of the State, but the re-
ports are not full enough to make up
full summary. The Republican
ticket is, however, elected. i.i
In Ohio, CARY, boiling Republi-
can, is elected to Congress from the
Second Congressional District, by a
majority of from 500 to 900. In a
speech at Cincinnati on the night of
the election, CARY declared that he
would not go to Congress to support
Democratic measures, but as an in
dependent legislator. The latest re-
port indicates that the probabilities
are that HAYES, Republican candi-
didate for Governor, is elected by a
small majority, and that the Republi-
cans will have majority of two in
the Senate and one in the House.
The election is claimed by both par
ties, however. The Constitutions

majority. Il At L5Lta

The recent circular issued by Count
BISMARCK on the Salzhuro Conference

The recent circular issued by Count
BISMARCK on the Salzburg Conference
is producing great excitement in
France. The circular simply reiter-
ates the previously announced deter
mination of Prussia to consolidate the
German States, and threatens any and
all nations that may attempt to pre-
vent it. The circular, no doubt, ex-
presses the unalterable resolution of
Prussia. The same sentiments have,
on recent occasions, been pronounced
by the King and the Crown Prince of
Prussia and the Grand Duke of
Baden, and Count BISMARCK him
self, in a very emphatic manner, has
repeated them in the North German
Parliament. The great question,
therefore, which will decide peace
or war in Europe is the attitude of
LOUIS NAPOLEON. His course will,
of course. be shaped by circum-
stances. He would gladly precipitate
a war if his prospects of success were
good; but he will pause, we believe,
ere he engages in a war against the
whole German nation.

"A SINGULAR EnEcrR1cA1 FREAK.

A SINGULAR ELECrRCAL FREAK
During the thunder storm of yester-
day evening, the house Of Mr.. John
Hall on Flnh street, was struck by
lightning exhibiting one of the most
novel electrical freaks we have ever
witnessed. The house stands at the
rear end of the lot. The lightning
struck the rear or west end of the house
near a chimney passed down the slant
of the roof, tearing off the copjntg.
scattering the brick all over the ward.
II then seemed to have passed to the
tTont OF the lot, some eighty or a hum
dFed feet from the point where IL struck
the house, took OH a couple OF lfmbs
from some small poplar trees.
and then passed to the paIing fence
which stood on a stone wall some two
feet above the pavement, splitting the
top and bottom rails of the fence for
some four or five feet. There seemetl
to be no connection Cat least no visible
tracey between the two points. The
ground was not torn MP, nor any
marks LEFT indicating a passage of the
fluid from one point to the other, The
report was not accompanied nv the
scream which usually attends the pas
sage ofthe electric fluid. It was exact
ly like the discharge of a heavy piece
OF artillery. 1t would have taken n
queer shaped lightning rod to have
gathered up and counteFacted the effect
of that stroke. Mr.. Hall, who was w.
ing asleep, was not awakened by the
shocks nor was any one in the house in
jured, although somewhat frightened.
