The End of the Senatorial
Contest.

Contest
None of our readers will be |
surprised to learn that on
Wednesday Of last week the ]
Ohio Senate declared Henry
NJ. Onderkonk entitled to the
seat from this District. The
whole case has hung upon the
question whether one Butter.
nut in nineteen in the Senate
was honest or not. The one
honest Butternut was not to be
found, and Capt. Jones was
permitted to return to his home
in the "rural districts" 1t may
be worthy OF note, though, to
state that before the case came
to a vote, the Senate found it
necessary to adjourn from 8 till
3 o'clock in order to manipu.
late members, which was done
in neigh boring bar-room.
There never was before, to
our knowledge, a contested
election case so unfairly son.
Quoted from beginning to end
Heretofore in such cases our
legislative bodies have labor.
ed to determine whether or not
fraud had been committed at
the ballot box. In this case The
whole labor of the Senate has
been to discover means by
winch they might themselves
commit fraud. The decision
OF this case upon a pretended
technicality, "without regard
to the decisions of any other
department of the Govern
ment," and without regard to
the will of the people OF the
District, has no precedent, and
stands nron the record, giving
the lie to the Democratic pro.
fessions of repect tor the de.

ings with those who are oppos'
ed to them politi ;ally. .n
Capt. Jones proved to the
satisfaction of any sane man
that he was fairly elected to the
Senate from this District by a
majority of forty-four of the
legal votes, and there is not a
Democrat in the Ohio Senate,
who dare stand before the peo
pie of this district and deny it.
Or admit that persons OF vIJi.
ible admixture of African
blood are not entitled to vote
which is admitting more than
Democrats claim to be the law

he was elected by a m ajority
of two votes. The Democrats

osition OF the Repu blicans, and
consented to submit the ques-
ton to the people. But, no;
they wanted another Butternut
Senator, and they resorted to a
rascally trick, knowing that
Capt. Jones was legally elect
ed, even under "the great re-
action" of last fall, and further,
that "the great reaction had al
ready reacted, and Onderdonk
would not stand the ghost of a
chance. Capt. Jones could to-
day carry the district against
Henry N. Onderdonk by at
least one thousand majority.

the Grand Army has attracted
so much of the attention Of
our neighbors over the way,and
Democrats generally, that we

SHYING HoRsEs.-L. A. D., in
the Scientific Americaas, says that
a hofseman should never "shy"
himself, when the horse SHES,
nor show the least nervousness,
nor notice it in the horse, and far
less punish him for it. He adds
Allow me, having had a great
deal of experience in managing
horses, to add another bit of adj
vice to nervous horsemen. When
ever they notice their horse direct
ing bis ears TO any point whatever
or indicating the slightest DISPOSE
ton to become afraid, let them,
instead of pulling the rein to bring
the horse toward the object caus-
ing its nervousness, pull it on the
other side. This will instantly
divert the attention of the horse
from the object which is exciting
his suspicion, and in ninety,nine
cases in a hundred, the horse will
pay no more attention to the OBJ
ject- from which he will fly away
if forcibly driven to it by pulling
the wrong rein. aEgQona b 4

Whole number of electoral

votes, 3l7
Of this Seymour and Blair
have secured a majority upon a
fair and honest vote. Who sup
poses that North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri and
West Virginia, are for Grant? 1t
is safe to say that not one man in
five, unobstructed by any outside
interference, would vote for him;
yet, by military violence and by
the sending to the polls, under its
auspices, of hordcs of illegal ne
gro voters, these States have been
declared carried for him. Their
votes, together with those of Mis-
sissippi, Virginia and Texas, which
by a pure act of military despot-
ism, were not allowed to vote at
ali, decided the contest. The re-
suit OF all may be summed up as
follows:
( Seymour was elected by the
legal electors and white people of
the United States.
Grant was not elected-by the
power of the bayonet, sending
several hundred thousand negroes
to the polls, and keeping back
several hundred thousand whites,
he was declared chosen. This is
all there is of it.
