CHICAGO, November General Gran
met with general ovation yesterday throug
Indiana and Ohio, while on his journey t
Washington. Large crowds of people as
sembled at every station, clamorous to obtai1
a sight of the President elect.
PHILADELPHIA, November Grant
majority in the State will reach 1000.
RALEIGH, November g. The genera
opinion is that the State has gone for Gran
by about $4,000 majority.
| WILMINGTON, N. c., November THE
State has probably gone for Grant by 5000
majority. The Congressional delegation
stands five Republicans and two Conserva-
tives.
MONTGOMERY, November T. Return,
from thirty counties give Grant over 5000
majority. Nearly all the inhabitants of the
remaining counties are white and will pro-
badly overcome this majority. The result is
doubtful
ST. LOUIS, November Slightly coun-
ties give Grant nearly $4,000 majority. The
remainder will probably increase it to $4,000.
TALLAHASSEE, November T. Harrison
Reed, Governor of Florida, has been i'm
peached for high crimes and misdemeanors
in Office.
CHARLESTON, November 6.-The Republi-

Colusa, 10; Sonoma, Is.

In certain Wards in San Francisco the |
Board of Supervisors have acceded to de-
mand for count of the votes for Presi-
Dental Electors and Chief of Police, which
was progressing last night and will proba-
bly, be finished to-day.-The Democracy die
1ard-6m die they must.
By the gains in Lake, Colusa and So
loma Counties, Harrison is probably elected
% Congress, unless he fell behind the vote
or Electors on the Republican ticket in the
lorthern counties of the district
PORTLAND, Oregon, November 9.-Re-
urns from Baker County give Seymour
90. Grant County is tie. Union County

MA1Ls.-There are about two hundre,
and 6ftv letters arrive and depart from thi
place daily by the mails and about one hun
dred BY each of the expresses. Notwith
standing the amount of mail matter that legi
timately passes through this office, the post
masters below invariably send the Truckee
Meadow mail to this place, and frequently
mail matter for twenty or thirty different
points are sent here. We do not know
whether this is carelessness or ignorance
upon the part of postmasters elsewhere, but
presume that it is little of both. We re-
ceived, this week, copies of the Carson AP-
PEAL of the Sth and 9th of September, and
also copy of the Napa REGISTER of Sept.
Sth. The papers were SO badly worn by the
friction in the mail bags as to be hardly
readable. We think that little attention
to the mails would be of uncomfortable bene
tit to many people who patronlze that insti
tution.-Iruckee Tribune, Nor.7.
The above suggests two or three
things. In the first place, Postmasters
AID Postmasters' clerks do not always
study their business closely enough,
and, therefore, fail to keep up With the
requirements of their intricate bust
ness. Then again, in too many instan-
ces, stage drivers are entrusted too far
with the responsible duties of mail
agents and they are apt to fail to con-
meet. The fast filling in of new towns
in recently discovered diggings and
along railway lines makes new post
Offices; and every new town must have
a name and every name is by no
means, always, a new one--hence W,

might be, were to make it point to

MATCH HIM.

An homes. mana man without pretense,
Modest, but brave--though silent. full fsense;
His lightest fancies are substantial facts,
And his best thoughts translate themselves in
acts.
No fogs of doubt obstruct his steady gaze.
No vague, dim shadow looming through the
haze,
But all stands out clear, sharp and well defined
Before the earnest challenge of his mind
A mind that, in beginnings, sees the ends,
Explores, compares, weighs, gauges, compre-
bends,
And with force resistless as the tides
Shapes to results whatever it decides;
A clear, cool brain, well balanced and compact,
That in to-day's discerns to-morrow's act,
And, fruitful in resource, to all its needs
A calm and lofty courage that can cope
With direst perils, hoping against hope;
Patience that tires not, and an iron will,
Tenacious, stubborn, and persistent still,
That naught can swerve from its one grand
design
To fight it out and conquer" on this line;"
From even disaster wrestling full success,
As in the conflicts of The Wilderness"
And making all things to its purpose bend
Til "Appomattox" brings the glorious end;
Such are the traits that mark our Chosen
Man
Note HIM, o, world, and "match him, if you

A PHILADELPHIA MAGISTRATE. - The
Philadelphia correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune writing series of sketches of prom
inent character in that city makes the fol-
lowing sketch:
If thought that your Chicago readers
had any curiosity to understand the local
politics of this great Eastern municipality,
would sketch for you at length the remarka-
BILE history of Bill McMulIen. He is ter
rible rowdy, bully and desparado, with many
of the magnanimities of Mann, whom he
has supported so long. Now you hear of
him at the Aaron and Collyer prize fight,
acting as referee again, he sits in his judi
cial majesty, sending his retainers to Jail.
"Bnl,'' they exclaim, "my God you
won't send ole pard to Moyomensin':"
Silence !" says the Alderman. Be-
cause 1 play bluff with you, do you think
you can break the laws of the State of Penn
sylvania ? l am Justice Of the Peace, sir!
send you to prison !"
three times for you the same day, Mulley :"
e If you voted for me-" say Mulley, ''you
ought to be comforted to see that give you
justice. Officer, take him away"
Yet am told that in street fight this
man will whip out his xnife and cut slice
like beefsteak from the feshy part of his
He raised, out Of his lawless
district, a company OF skirmishers or ran
gers in 1861, and they did good service in
the front of Patterson's army. With more
education and address, " Bill " Mann has
many points of contact with his townsman
and late constituent, but this year, Mann
being not candidate, the Fourth Ward
gave its ancient brnadside for the Democ-
racy, and the d" wickedest man in Philadel-
phia returned to the bosom Ct his tradi-
ions and his parry. |

| A CURIOSITY IN TELEGRAPHING.-On the
list instant, says the St. Louis Times, a young
man, a Nirginian by birth, came to New Or
leans to act as receiver for the Associated
Press report at this point. He is a young
man of intelligence. but deaf as post. He
lost his hearing some years ago, and then
learned the art of telegraphy, in which he
| has become remarkably adept. His name is
| a report is exceedingly interesting. Good
operators receive by the car, the clickings of
| the instrument being to them the audible
| reading, each word being licked off as dis
tinctly as though spelled out by human voice.
Not hearing single sound, he places his
hand upon the working instrument, or plac-
ing his knee against the operating table, BY
his peculiar and sensitive nerves, feels each
vibration so distinctly, that he is able to sur
pass ordinary receivers in the accuracy of
his reports. He hears nothing about him, is
never disturbed, and, consequently works in
silent world of his own. In this condition
his memory has become wonderfully retentive
and, in consequence, his manuscript is ex-
ceedingly correct, while the chirography is
excellent-a decided improvement in our tele-
graphic reports for some time past except a
brief interval. Mr.. Hoffman can speak, and
answer questions put to him audibly. The |
mode OF communication the telegraph boys
have with him is to tick off, IS on an instru- |
ment, upon his hand, or the back of his
neck, such things as they desire to say to
him. This is by no means tedious, as the |
processis quite as rapid as an ordinary drum
beat. To see him taking the report is ex-
ceedingly interesting.

A Political Essay.
From the Evening Safeguard.

We are not ON top. We are ready to re
/ ceive the sympathy of all those who are &C
customed to look with favoring eye upon thu
"under dog in the fight" We met thu
enemy; we must say. he met US. In fact HI
met us-in the quaint phrase of Artemu:
Ward-nuchg: Verify, too muchly. W.
are his meat We are foored, so to speak.
We have all along asserted, with emphasis
that in the Ides of November the star of the
Democracy would be in the ascendant. BY
some error in our astronomical calculations
it amt thar though the Ides have visited
US, and departed. That star was a shooting
star. 1t suddenly disappeared from sight in
the far off ether vault of the blue empyrean.
1t didn't wane; it burst.
The time honored banner Of Democracy, to
which we have frequently in glowing terms
alluded, we now beg to assure our friends,
still exists-but only as a figure Of speech.
Previously to the aforesaid Ides we thought
we saw that banner "still full high ad-
vanced" (Webster), but we can not now dis
Germ it by the light of these illuminations.
1t was "a thing of beauty" keats. Its
gorgeous dyes have resolved themselves into
their original elements-they are dead. We
Democrats have all through the canvass as
severated that we had dead thing-and
we've got it.
But we are not conquered no, no! moth
VI the SUIT we are
One or two more such vanquishments, how
ever, we are free to confess, would result dis
astrously to our interests, and somewhat
dampen the ardor Of our hopes in the brillian-
ey of the future Of our glorious party. Still,
the Democracy is intact. Decidedly so. On
election dav we were liberal. In the gencr-
osity of our hearts we magnanimously loaned
some hundreds CT our voters in this county
as well as in other counties throughout the
State-to the other side. We made. indeed, |
a Grant of them, for considerations not
necessary to be here spoken of.
The harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul Of music shed" |
(Moore) is now supposed to be in the pos
session Of the Republican party, but "by the
Eternal" (Jackson) if they don't treat it |

coin of vantage" (Shakspeare.) Though
the indomitable will Of the Democracy has
for the moment succumbed to the still more
Bill of Republicanism, yet we
" still live" (Webster.) or truth, the
heft of the voting population Of Nevada may
aptly be compared unto huge fap-jack,
which, being sufficiently done on one side,
has Topped over, that the other side may
likewise be burnt. William, it is all right.

The Rotten Borough System OF
a,nnnecuicmf

How it is that the Democrats have been
able to carry Connecticut for the State off
GERS and not the Legislature, is thus ex
planned by the Ne,o Haven (Conn.) Regis
ter:
Under the rotten borough system OF
representation, minority in the State is at
any election as liable to get control of the
Legislature as majority. Here is an as
founding fact that will scarcely be credited
by persons unacquainted with it. The City
of New Haven has population of over 5O,-
600, yet has but two Representatives in the
House, while the counties of Windham and
Tolland, with population of only 55,454
have forty-fue Representatives. Think of
that! Fifty-tive thousand persons repre-
sented in Radical section Of the State by
forty five Representatives, while Demo-
cratic section with over fifty thousand in
habitaEts, has but two Representatives
And the Radicals will not lift finger to
change this system, because they get so
much advantage from it. Yet they daily
prate of their devotion to manly suffrage
and equal representation"
