Shabby.

Lastyear Samuel Fisher, whohad
always heen a consistent Democrat
of the Jackson order, was a capdi-
date for the nomination Of County
Commissioner by the Democrats
party, supposing that he had
the good will and fellowship ofthe
party with which he had SO long
acted. Mr.. Fisher, however, sym
pathized with the Union, and th0't
that every true friend of the Gov.
ernment which bis fathers had
fought to establish, should lend his
aid to sustain the Government, and
preventits overthrow by the wicked
men who had gone into rebellion.
and fore swore its destruction.-|
With these convictions of duty, he
gave literally of his means to as
sist in the prosecution Of the war
for the salvation and perpetuation
of the good old U. S. Government,
But the leading spirits of mod
ern Democracy could see no power
in the Constitution to enforce the
laws Of the Government, and re
garded it as decidedly undemocrattc
for Mr. Fisher to lend his aid in the
prosecution Of the war against
Southern traitors, Consequently
they tried to silence him, and, in
fact, to force his claims out of the
convention; but he had too ma
ny friends to be thus summarily and
Immediately slaughtered Know
ing that if they did attemptto force
their measures they would lose
votes for their party candidates, IN |
order to keep things as quiet as
possible, they promised him that II
he would not urge his claims upon
them then, they would regard his
claims favorably this year, Tint
Is, they pledged him solemnly, as
we are Informed, that they would
give him the nomination for conn
ty Commissioner this year. But,
as results have shown, these plodg-
es to Mr.. Fisher were made only
for the purpose Of getting him out
Of the way al the tlme--thoy never
had any idea Of fulfilling them
But Mr. Fisher, condding IN these
solemn pledges, came before their
Convention this year, expecting the
of their promises. But
they could remember nothing about
them; and as Mr.. Fisher was too
much of a war man, they made po-
litical war upon him, violated their
pledge, slaughtered an honest, life
long Democrat, and rewarded an
other with the nomination, who,
from the start, was opposed 20 ey-
cry measure adopted by the Coy
ernmeht to save the Union--a man
who stood by and justified the treas.
enable conduct Of the traitor Val
landigham,
Now il Mr. Fisher should not
continue TO vote with party that
he knows personally to be corrupt,
and basely false in its professions,
they certainly cannot blame him if
he should, at least, withdraw his
influence from the foul party IN the
future.

"CoL. GARis, we learn, draws d
pension Of forty dollars per month
during life, from the treasury of the
taxpayers, -Four hundred and
eighty dollars a ycaris not hard to
take" Z.
We clip the above from the Reg
lister of this week. The Register
fails to tell his readers that while
Col. Garis was defending his coun-
try in battle, he received a wound
that has made him a cripple fol
life, and tits to compensate him in
some dcgfeeafor this service to his
country, and being thus crippled
for the remainder Of his life, that
the Government payshim apension.
We doubt very3mllch whether Col
Garis' sturdy competitor for the
Sherfality ofthis county would ex-
change his uninjured physical pow
ers aud unnamed arms for Col,
G.'s, and double the amount of pen
sion the Government pays Col. G.
just such rebel sympathizers as the
editor of the Register would, ifthey
had the power, withhold pensions
from every soldier who was Grip
pied IN defense of his country, and
are now ready to di9raachtse those
who have been provided by the
Government with comforts at the
Soldiers Home. We expect Just
such men as the editor Of the Reg
lister, to be throwing ont taunts and
sncers about pensions, taxes, &co
upon men who have unfortunately
been wounded and disabled while
lighting tho battles for the Union.

The glorious victory achieved by the Re-
publican party in the campaign just closed,
cannot well be over-estimated, when we review
the history of the country since the accession
of President johnson. Fortunately, the
Republican party has again succeeded in stay
ing the tide Of disloyalty, rebellion, and re-
pudlatlon; and saved the country from the
continued rule Of party whose administra-
ton of the government, in the past. has been
so inimical TO it's welfare, and whose political
action has tended TO lower the standard of
true republicanism. The issues of the can
vass have been most thoroughly discussed
and considered, and the result proves that
the people have decided that the party which
was mainly instrumental in supprsssing the
rebellion, are fully worthy to be entrusted
with the administration of the government
Aside from the unpopularity of the Demo
cratic candidates, and the position assumed
ty that party in the outset on the financial
and suffrage questions, their course through
cat the great struggle for the maintenance
II the Union, would alone have been sufficient
10 demonstrate their essential unftness for
che high places which they sought. Their
cefest certain in most any contingency
while the success of the party of liberty and
progress was assured from the very COM
Inenccment Of the contest
The election of Grant is triumph of the
intelligence and patriotism of the nation
# the great and vital principles which
underlie the foundation of every govern
ment which is based upon the liberty and
equality of all men before the law The
eiction has very fully decided the fate of tn G
danger doctrine of States Rights, and
we trust has annihilated all of the discordant
elements in our national policy, which, under
the guidance of Andrew johnson, has SO
riously INSTRUCTED the real progress of the
county, IN all that relates to the advancement
OF It's material interests and the welfare of
the people. The nation can now press for
ward to full enjoyment of the fruits of
our great triumph; and all classes and con-
ditions Of people living under the protection
Of our government, may repose in the as
surance, that, under our chosen leaders,
peace and safety will again be restored to
the whole Union.

The NEXT CONGRESS. Several States cleo
ted Congressman on Tuesday last, aud
the returns thus far received indicate that
the Democrats have made considerable gains.
Great efforts have been put forth by them to
increase their strength in the next Congress,
tad they have been stimulated TO this I'M
wonted exertion, by the humble and unim-
portant position which they have been COM
PEELED to occupy in the present Congress
Hence, they have by well directed effort,
succeeded in making sufficient gains TO pre-
vent the Republicans from having two
thirds majority in the next Congress though
we have reason to be satisfied, that with
Grant as President. and a large preponder-
ance of Republicans in both branches of
Congress, we may not need the two-thirds
Republican vote which has served the coun-
try SO faithfully through the great crisis OF
the past four years.
The FOrty-frst Congress, as far as elected,
will consist of l36 Republicans and "A Dem
ocrats. The number of Democrats in the
present Congress is A.. They have gained
> members in New York. 3 in Ohio, l in
Eew Jersey, 2 in Pennsylvania, 3 in Mary
land, in North Carolina, l in South Caro-
lima, in Georgia, 4 in louisiana, in
Arkansas, in Indiana, in Minnesota, and
in Missouri. making their total gain p
The Republicans gain in California.
From present indications the next House
OF Representatives will contain l53 Repub-
licans and 90 Democrats. giving the former
good working majority of 60, which is
large enough for all practical purposes.
Tue Republicans gain one United States
Senator in Wisconsin, but lose one in New
Jersey.

The Grand Result.

Now that the great battle is over, and a
signal triumph is once more assured to the
cause of loyalty, liberty aud justice, we are
enabled to present the details Of the grand
result, which we trust has virtually decided
the issues that have distracted the country
for the past four years. and which will now
lead the nation in the path to enduring
prosperity and peace.
The following table gives the general re-
suit of the late election. as far as can be
accurately ascertained. Grant and Colfax
have certainly carried the following states:

GEN GRANT mas by a mastery coup de etat
''gone back - on the ofhce-holders, fairly
out-generaling the entire horde, and reach
cd his home in Washington in serene quie-
tude, and without being annoyed by any
popular demonstrations from that disinter.
ested body of his friends. Grant at once
betook himself to his duties in the War De.
partment, leaving the irrepressibles standing
afar off. But we doubt the ability of the
taciturn Grant even to always keep this ad-
miring throng at such magnificent distances,
that we shall not yet hear from him the
agonizsd cry Of GO Let us have peace
