! Now that the smoke and dust of the
elections are beginning to clear away
the cloven foot of Radicalism pokes it.
self forth. In last weeks Amti Szavery
Standard, Wendell Phillips issues his
pronunciamento. He regrets that il
has hitherto been "inexpedient" to car

that no more time should be lost
Congress, Mr.. Phillips says, should as

furnish wholesome Radical key note,

programme. With impeachment comes

John Bull Jubilant.

= .
The United States pays about S4O,-
900, 600 of interest money per annum
to foreign holders of U. S. Bonds. These
Bonds are not taxed, and pay the hold
ers about - per cent, upon their gold
investment, which is just SO much mo-
ney drained from the products of the
American People. The British Consols
pay but about three per cent. in gold
and little more in paper. Hence the
Joy over the ocean that the October
elections mean fifteen per cent. of the
Peoples money pledged for all time to.
the foreign holders of U. S. Bonds.
The Radical Elections certainly mean
increased indebtedness to Europe, IN
creased taxes upon all we consume of
the imported necessities of life, as teas
coffee, sugar, sc. John Bull dances
and Uncle Sam pays the fiddler. Y

Already the mutterings of u civil war
in Spain are being manifested. The
two great leaders now approved by the
people are Prim and Espartcro. These
gentlemen, it is represented, are not
very fond of each other, and they res

several quotas of influence in the go9-

but little to set these folk shooting aud

France would be compelled to step in,

i. SIT has been currently reported for years
that once upon time Judge Weisel signed
a petition TO deprive every man OF vote
who did not own property. Now IT this be
true. how can he have the effrontery to ask
the poor man for the very vote which he,
Judge Weisel, would have taken away from
him, if it had been in his power2 The right
of voting belongs to freeman and is form
liable only to tyrants and the tyrant who is
in favor of taking that right from freemen
must not ask them for their votes. Fired
ssl We can assure the Union that what
it asserts as being only of current report
is an absolute fact, Judge Weisel did
sign such petition, and here where it
was done, his adherents do not pretend
to deny it. It was his well known and
,odious Property Qualification sentiments
that has heretofore prevented his elec-
ton to any position whatever by the
people of this county. The largest
Democratic majority ever given in this
county heretofore will be that recorded
against Daniel Weisel, the PROPERTY
QUALIFICATION AND NEGRO
SUFFRAGE CANDIDATE for Con
gress, at the next election. Six hun
dred majority is the least we will be
satisfied with, and one thousand will not
astonish us in the least. Here where
he is best known will he get the fewest
votes. -Hagerstown Free Press.

The Result in Ohio.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of the 18th
instant, says: The. Democracy have
made a splendid fight in Ohio. Despite
the admission by the Radicals of num-
Der of thousands Of negro votes; despite
the expenditure of money by them with
out stint; despite the patronage of the
Federal, State and local governments,
which were all used unscrupulously
against them; despite all sorts Of vii
lainy and fraud, and the polling of 40
1000 more votes than were ever cast Le-
fore, the Republican majority in Ohio
is less by many thousands than it has
been for years, with the single ezcep-
ton of last year. To 1863 the Repub-
licans had 100000 majority in Ohio
Pin 1864, $4,000; in 1865, $4,000; IN
1866, 5000. But now, on an I'M
mensely increased vote over those years,
which hitherto has always been largely
in their favor, they have obtained but
$4,000 majority. They expected, as
the result of their frauds and enormous
expenditure of money, to defeat US 40
600 at least. 1t is evident that the
Democracy cf Ohio are gaining solidly
and substantially. Last year the Re.
publicans justly attributed their small
majority to the local negro suffrage IS
sue; but now they have no excuse.
The 100000 Democrats of Ohio who
supported our ticket this year can be
depended upon in all future calculations.
They are the old guard. They consti-
tute very nearly one-holf the voting
population of the State. Resting upon
such basis al d having steadily fought
down in FIVE years majority of 1000
to 10 900, the Democracy of Ohio may
be assured that at an early period they
will become the permanent dominant
party cf the State.

New England meanness and injustice
are amply illustrated in the fast that a
Frenchman, who had saved from his
earnings at the arniory in Springfield
$1,000, lent it to the town o. Conway,
N. H., but the transaction was not re-
corded till after three days had expired,
and therefore the town refused to pay
it. In Court, on account of this little
iufornality, the case was decided against
the poor ,Frenchman. The costs
amounted to $500, and to pay this h.:
is now working industriously.

Late Elections.

The returns of the elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska
on Tuesday of last week show that the
Republicans were victorious !; the ma
jority in Pennsylvania being about
10000; Ohio, 5000; Indiana, 1000;
and Nebraska 1000. That two Of the
States were carried only by fraud is
more than probable. In Philadelphia
some thousands of naturalized citizens
were excluded from the polls; and a
letter from that city, received in New
York, says: ~
