The city election In Saoo passed Oh very qui-
city on Monday last, and resulted In the election
Of the completes Republican ticket, from Mayor
down to Constable, BY . large majority. The
Democrats worked hard In several Of the wards,
particularly in Ward 4,but they worked without
hope Of success. Although the storm was tho
hardest We have experienced this winter. and Il
was almost impossible for many to get out to
the polls, yet the Republicans, fearing the ahic-
ton Of such an Ubiquitous management OF the
government Of Saco - now burdens the city or
Biddeford, rallied nobly. The Republicans OF
have done the handsome thing, and II Ii hoped
that our friends In Biddeford will now follow

There are people who seem to have got the

stitntion, gave q much attention to the shaping
of this clause as 10 any other part Of that in

Comments of the EnrlI.b Pred,

LONDON. October kilograms from
the New York Associated Press aunounc.
ing the result of the elections in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana were early re-
ceived here, and are commented on by the
London journals as follows:
The Daily Ne,os (radical) says if the De-
mocratic party had only remained passive,
Republican blunders would have given
them power, but the Democrats have an
equal if not greater aptitude for error.
The Morning Post Conservative says the
result of these elections has decided the
Presidential contest, and the slight interest
wherewith the Democrats sought to sur
round it is gone.
The Standard Conservative comments
on the small majorities claimed by the Re-
publicans, and thinks the Democrats NAV
have carried some of the States. The
writer says if the Democrats are beaten,
their friends here would wish they had
been guided by safer counsels.
The Telegraph (Liberal), while approving
the result, sees in 1t the ruin of the Re-
publican party, in which there are SO
many wide differences on financial cues
tiOns.

HON. THOMAS A. JBNoKEs.

We learn with much pleasure that Mr..
Jenckes has been renominated for Con-
gress in the First District of Rhede Island.
His election is certain.
Mr.. Jenckes is the author of our national
bankrupt law. He is also the author Of
that great measure of reform known as the
Civil Service bill. 1t would be great
loss to our national legislature should Mr..
Jenckes not be returned.
The civil service bill has never yet been
brought to a vote in Congress. Its friends
have thought that the time had not vet
come. We hope that they may be able
to bring it forward with success during
the next session. 1t is eminently desirable
that our civil officers should be selected
because Of their qualifications, that the
tenure Of their Office should be determined
and certain.

WHO ARE REspnNsIRLE9

The condition of affairs in our State
seems to be daily growing worse. Though
for the past three years men who have
held Republican principles have been
subjected to intolerant prescription !;
though to them there has been no real
Sc curity for life and property but in silence
and deception, yet at first this ostracism
for political opinions was practiced with
cut being openly advocated-the existence
of the fact was denied. To-day the leaders
of the Democratic party in our State public
ly advise their followers to prescribe those
who differ with them "thwart every effort
they may make to maintain business or
a social foothold."
At first acts of violence were compare
lively few, and were confined to times and
oc casions of public tumult To-day, cow
a rdly assassinations and brutal murders
are incidents of frequent occurrence. The
press is violated and free speech denied.
Loyal men are subjected to malicious prose-
cutions, and from every part of our State
they are compelled to flee for protection.
And who are responsible for all this?
Those who commit these outrages have
an Interior object in view. They are at
tempting to overthrow the government es-
tablished in Louisiana by Congressional
action; it is part of a movement by which
they hope to organize State government
which shall be controlled by themselves to
the exclusion of loyal men, white and
black Repeated outrages are perpetrated
in obedience to the suggestions of such
men as Blair and Forrest. False hopes
have been held out. These people have
been deceived into believing that those
who sustained the national government in
its hour of danger would now be deserted
by that government. They have been ad-
Vised that the army would be used to place
hem in control of the Southern States.
Upon the heads of those political leaders
Who have deceived this people will Impair
lal history lay the blame for the crimes of
lally occurrence in the South,

FROM ST. FRANICsvIL1E

Assassination of a CoIOred Man,
ST. FRANoIsvnLE, La, Oct. 10, 1868.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
On Saturday night colored man named
Douglas Goats was murdered opposite the
plantation of Mrs. Mary Stirling, about
three miles from town. The poor man
leaves large family. He was Killed with
either shotgun or musket, as the wound
caused instant death. The deceased was
very hard-working man, who, together
with his brother and brother-in-law, made
twenty bales of cotton this year. This is
one of the many murders committed in our
parish.
It will be impossible to obtain fair ex
preston of the peoples wishes at the com
ing election in our parish. Rebels openly
say that they will hinder the Commissioners
OF Election from opening the polls at
Laurel Hill, as they will have the people
of Mississippi to help them.
