lHE very mower OF our CORDS OF cores
pondents is stopping at Newport, and vouches
for the following Last night, after lying
down in my chamber, and being unable to
sleep, deliciously cool as it was could not
help overhearing, from the thinness of the
partition and the open transoms, dialogue
between the occupants of the adjoining room.
They were evidently man and wife. whom u
few years of matrimony had robbed of the
sentiment they set out with.
Jane, don't crowd me so keep your own
side of the bed" This in anything but
tender tone.
Why, William, l am not crowding you,
and if l was you ought to be too gallant to
tell me of it. There was time when you'd
have kissed me for what you scold me now.n
The feminine voice shook little at tho con-
clusion of this sentence.
. Perhaps so; but what's the use of talk
ing of the past. Gallantry is played out
that's for lovers, not married people,"
Didn't you declare, William, that you'd
always be my lover? ?"
" l don't remember; suppose said
great many foolish things in those days. =
You want to get up scene. Women are
death on scenes"
You're downright rude. William you'll
make me hate you, Mr.. Thompson. (Jane
was evidently getting up her temper.) II

" Mr.. Thompson, you're brute. You'll

there too.
Jane was pretty, aud the tears in her eyes
made her look prettier; and her white robe
falling gracefully about her form made her
more than fancy had painted her. As got
opposite the door, Mr. Thompson, who was
Juggling out trunk, said to me-

"Mr bosom's lord sits lightly on his
THRONE" rejoioed Romeo on the day that
ushered him to suicide and death, and in the
same key some leading Democratic organs are
sounding a p@n of triumph. Instead Of
chanting words of grief over the mournfuV
pressge of the October elections, they find in
them a cause of selfgratulation. The reason
alleged is as curious as it is far-fetched II the
Democracy had triumphed its partisans would
have been lulled into security instead of in
cited to activity while that fatal sense of secu-
rity is now benumbiDg their opponents. Then,
too, this apparent and temporary defeat has
induced Seymour to appear before the public
and assume his great oiHce-the work for
which no other man in the Democratic ranks
is ftted-the work of explaining things Ex-
plantations are awkward matters at bsst and
we are led to the inevitable conclusion that
party must have got itself into a pretty fix
when it has only one man that can untangle
the snarl. 1t is hard upon Mr.. Seymour to
compel him to descend from his magnificent
altitude as the brains of the party to the
low level of stump-orator, with the repulsive
duty of "explaining thipgs.' His devotion
to his principles could not be better proved,
for Pegasus in harness is always a touching
and pathetic sight.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1868.
November 3.

OK our fifth page to-day we present series OF
election statistics more complete, we believe,
than any which have ever appeared in daily
journal heretofore. The statistical history of
past Presidential elections is not only more
comprehensive than the table which has been
going the rounds of the press of late, but it
soreots several inaccuracies which render the
latter worthless. In addition to the Presi-
dental candidates and their votes, the aspi-
rants for the Vice Presidency are also given. In
each State in which there is to be State or
Congressional election on Tuesday next,
the candidates are given, in all cases
where their names have been made public in
this section of the country; and in every State
the annual vote since the year 1860 is given,
from the most reliable sources at command.
With this series of tables before him, the in-
telligent reader, who takes an interest in the
fate Of the country, can speculate on the re-
suit of next Tuesdays contest, and figure out
the probable end of it to suit himself. For our
own part, we believe that the figures point to
the triumphant election of General Grant and
Speaker Colfax.

The "Grain Corner"

WlJhln the past four months wheat has de-
clined in this market nearly so per cent. On
the 30th day of June No 2spring-the standard
grade-closed at 81 2O yesterday sales were
made at Sl'l5 per bushel, the market closing
nearly three cents higher Meanwhile the

creased, til within o. few days past, from $4,000
TO about 200 000 bushels
Assuming the wheat now in store to have
low estimate-the loss 10 the holders will
amount to about 800 900, taking the closing
prices of yesterday To be the present value; and
To this must be added the cost of storage and
the interest on the capital employed which

These examples, which might be multiplied
ad ipfnitum, prove that the Rebel spirit Is as
rampant as ever, and that only by a complete
and overwhelming victory for the Republican
party on Tuesday next can we hope for the
beginning of an era of peaoe and prosperity.
In General Grant we will have President a.
once moderate and firm. All the influence Of
his position will be given to the paci6cation Of
the rebellious States, but we may also be sure
that he will WELD the power placed in his
hands to protect peaceabe, law-abidiDg oiti-
zens Of all shades of color and Of all opinions,
and to put a stop to the Rebel outrages which
have disgraced our civilization during the last
three or four years.

THE FACT is established by the affidavit OF
respectable citizen of New York that Hora-
ito Seymour said, at the commencement of the
war, that he Thought the Montgomery con-
stitution was a great deal better than ours,
'"A that we ought to overthrow the rotten
oonoeIh a. Washington. send the New York
representatives to the Montgomery govern
ment, and bring that up to Washington and
go on under it," Similar views were expressed
by other leading reasonable Democrats of the
North, and they looked forward to the success
of the Confederacy and subsequent reconstruc-
tion of the Union, under the rule of jeff
Davis Toombs, Stephens, and the old gang Of
prOslavery politicians who controlled the
Democratic party, as a aconsummation devoutly
to be wished for. This original scheme hsv-
ing failed through the stubborn and patriotic
resistance of the American people, these
abandoned politicians are now supporting a
programme only one degree less disgraOeful.
They propose to uprOot the new system OF
reconstruction entirely, and thus TO replace
