These are. grand results and what makes
them strikingly Significant and important
Iis the fact that they are not owing to Re-
,publicans staying away fromJithe polls.
Theydidnot stay away, They voted; and the
proof is that the aggregate vote is the lar
gest ever cast in the State But tens of
thousands Of honest men, who for years
had acted with the Republican party see
ing that their leaders were fast hurrying
the country to destruction, had the moral
courage and patriotism 4 to leave their old
associates and vote the Democratic ticket.
Nor must it be overlooked that you were
better organized than eVer.befDre; that you
were perfectly united that You everywhere
put in nomination good and able men and
that your press, your public speakers, and
your committees labored with singular en-
erey and ability, and presented the truth
and justice of your cause with convining
force. Fellow Democrats, you have a
hopeful future before you. The grand re-
action against despotism gathers strength
every day. Already Connecticut, Penn

tary despotism does not prevail, our party
nave made immense gains. Let US, then

CoEFAx--In speech at the Cooper lnsti-
tute, New York City, last months. Schuyler
Colfax asserted that 1.-THE Reconstruction acts
Of the President, the Amnesty proclamation
sc. were unconstitutional, and virtual usurp-
ATOMS Had he said the Reconstruction Act
of Congress, &c. were unconstitutional, and,
virtually, usurpations, he would have spoken
truth. But how ridiculous in Colfax to talk of
usurpation or unconstitutional acts! He and
Ills party have done little else in Congress, for
seven years, than to make war upon the Consti-
tuition, to violate and spurn it, and to commit
the basest of usurpatiors.

A GIGANTIC SWINDLE.-An audaci0us OPP
Grating genius named Vandercook, hailing from
Central New York, lately got up stupendons
gold quartz mine swindle, by which he feeced
number Of wealthy capitalists in Bennington,
Vermont, out of $350,0OO in actual cash, for
shares in a quartz mine he represented to be
astonishingly rich, located in PittstoWn, Rens-
sellaer county, New York, where he had rented
q portion of farm which bordered on small
stream, dug up the surface ground for few
acres, and then scattered a cart load of rich
specimens Of gold quartz, to deceive his vic
tins. The grand rascal succeeded in procur-
ing most 1attering report on the apparent
exceeding richness of his mine from commit
tee Of his weaIthiest .dupes, who visited and in
spected the sailed mine with him, and also
obtained a certificate from DR.. Scranton, a
noted chemist and geoIogst Of Bennington, and
from G.. W Hall, an assayer of high reputation,
which he exhibited to all who bought shares,
and which certified that the ores brought from
the mine by the committee assayed an average
Offrom $6, 900 to nearly $lO,OOOper ton, chiefly
of gold but with small quantity Of silver to
each assay. Where vandercook obtained the
ores with which he sailed" the ground. is
not known He got an advance from the owner
Of the farm upon renting him back the portion
upon whichihe had so successfully operated,
and decamped with the surprisingly rich fruits
Of his gigantic swindle-his sorrowing, enraged
ard ontrageously cheated victims know not
whittier. s6a mss

DIDN'T TRY.-The Radical organs on this
coast, Notwithstanding the vote cast atlthes late
Ohio election was the largest ever polled in
that State, persist IN the absurd attempt to
have the people believe the Radicals there did
not exert themselves in the late campaign
Just to show the extraordinary efforts which
they did make, we give the following list of
imported speakers who engaged in the canvass,
besides Chase, Wade, Bingham, Schenck, Den
nison, and others Of their own State Big guns.
There came to aid them Senators Morton Of
Indiana, Chandler Of Michigan Patterson Of
New Hampshire, Thayer of Nebraska, and
Nye Of Nevada; Congressman Colfsx, Wash
burn, Ortiz and Julian Of Indiana, Logan and
Cullom of Illinois, Kelley Of Pennsylvania,
Mckee of Kentucky, Governor Baker Of Indi-
ana and Ex-Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania.
With, such an array Of home and outside big
guns to aid in the campaign, any one can see,
the Radicals made no effort TO. carry the State.

BINGHAM.

The detection Of Bingham, Of Ohio,
from the Stevens party, is one Of the
notable events of the day. Introducing
an amendment to the Territorial bill, be
is thus reported:
Mr.. Bingham, while approving the
general purpose Of the bill, said Con-
gress could not by direction or indirec.
ton make a State Government for the
people OF any State. That was a matter
which belonged to the State Govern
ments. and had 10 be established not by
act of Congress, but BY the voluntary
act Of the people themselves BE de-
sired TO give the people that opportunity.
That was The object Of his amendment
He had thought the gentlemen Of this
House who sustlined this bill were for
manhood suffrage but il seemed they
we're only for manhood suffrage con-
fined 70 a minority Of the people in a
Stale. Was it not enough to cloihe the
smancipated slaves with the highest
right ever exercised by a citizen Of the

cipaied slaves with the franchise, bat

Laura KEINE.

1t appears that Miss Laura keene'
during her engagement in Mobile met
with some annoyance from the audience
OF this affair the Tribune says: If any
prejudice has existed against this lady
here we do not hesitate to say that 1t Is
very absurd one. Miss X. is an
English woman, her profession that Of
an actress, and doubtless she bothers
her head as little about politics rs &
great many people do about religion
which, we are sorry to say, is not to
bother at all. Miss Keene happened to
be presentin the theatre when Lincoln
was assassinated, and was reported alter
wards as having recognized Booth as he
passed over the stage. That she has
denied through the columns of this pa
per. But even if she had recognized
him, and had proclaimed it aloud, it is
nothing more than she should have done ;
nothing more than General Lee himself
would have done. We do not think,
however, that any prejudice existed
against her here on account of the part
she was thought to have taken in identi-
flying Booth but there was an erroneous
impression that she was chief witness
against Mrs. Surratt, her evidence lead
ing to the judicial murder of that unfor-
tunate woman. Absurd as this report
was, it was none the less believed by
