The Spanish Proclamation

The following is the text of the Supreme
Junta's proclamation against negro slavery
Considering that the euslaving of negroes

stain on the Spanish nation, the only one
in the civilized world that still maintains
it in all its integrity that by its history,

which requires the judicious adoption of

The Election in Wisconsin.

The result of the election in this State
transcends the expectations of our Repub,
lican friends everywhere. In almost
every county there have been large Re
publican gains, and some hitherto Demo
cratic counties have now wheeled int Re-
publican line. Rock and Walworth were
for many years the reliable counties for
large Republican majerities, but this year
they are nearly matched by several other
counties in the State. Kenosha county
has recovered in measure its reputation
nearly lost last year; but we are sorry
to say it has not regained the good Repub-
lican name it had several years ago. The
causes for the falling off from the old ma
iorities in this county are not to be attrib-
uted to changes in political sentiment of
the resident population, but changes which
have been caused by removals from the
county, and new corners who have taken
the places of the old.

FLORIDA Decentralization Reed,
one of the old residents of Wisconsin, and
now Governor of Florida, has been i'm

1t is alleged by the enemies of the Cover
nor that he exercised powers unauthorized
by the Constitution in making appoint
ments Gov. Reed refuses to Vacate his
Office on the ground that the Legislature
was called together for only one purpose
that of choosing Presidential electors
and no other. Public opinion seems to
side with Gov Reed, and the action of the
is regarded unwarrantable.
Lieut.. Gov. Gleason, of Florida, was also

The Democracy After Election.

Now that the election is over, and the
democratic party signally defeated, it is
curious to observe the speculations of
Democratic politicians as to the causes of
defeat. Some insist the great mistake
was in not nominating Chase; others
think the party would have won with
Pendleton. Still others insist that had
the party nominated man with a better
war record, instead of the equivocal Sey-
mour, victory would have been certain.
Some journals argue very plausibly, that
if Wade Hampton had not been allowed
to dictate the platform, and commit
the party to suit the rebel demands
better result would have been reached.
Again, it is said, had the platform been
less equivocal, and more out-spoken on che
financial question, the party would have
commanded more general support.
Whatever of truth or error there may be
In these speculations, as to the true cause
OF defeat, there is, after all, but one sinh.
stantlal reason for the discontinue of the
Democratic party. The party identified
itself deliberately with the traitors of the
South, and arrayed all the elements of
treason in this country, against the Re
publicans who sustained the government
during the war Such position is enough
TO crush any party; enough to condemn
1t IN the judgment of every civilized and
enlightened nation in the world. Here
is the cause of the overthrow of the great
Democratic party, and its political Jour
nails need not 60 elsewhere to seek rea
sons. In this age of educational and re-
hgious advancement, when humanitv

churches and other appliances is irresist.

How they Vote in New York
City.

If any one wishes to know the character of
the vote in the Democratic strongholds, where
Republicans are scarcely tolerated, he has but
to consult the returns in New York city, as
given by election precincts. The Sixth ward
Of New York, without doubt, contains more
brothels, low groggeries, degradation. filth
and wretchednsss, than can be found in any
other city in the civilized world. This
pestiferous ward has improved somewhat for
the better in the late election over former
years. The vote in that ward stands 403 for
Grant, and 4, 907 for Seymour. In the 10th
and 18th precincts of the ward, in which are
located the famous Give Points," "Cow
Bay" &C., the vote for Grant is a for Sey-
mour 1,272. Other election precincts in New
York city, as well as in other large cities, fur
nish illustrations of like character. And
yet we are told what glorious institution is

Governmey 1T Telegraph.

After long disc ussion and mature delib
Grafton it appear Great Britain has at
last adopted the plan Of taking possession
Of the telegraph lines and putting them
under government control. Othernations,
especially Prussia, adopted this plan some
few years ago. The transmission of IN
telligence over the telegraph wires seems
as appropriate for government undertake
ing as the sending of intelligence through
the mails. The advantage to be derived,
would be- cheaper rates in the sending OF
mugsages for the reason that the object of
the government would be to simply cover
the cost individuals and companies en-
oage in the erection of telegraph lines
and the establishment of offices to realize
ON the investment of capital. With the
| government the business would not be en-
ltered upon as a speculation, but to sub
serve the interests of the public, precisely
in the same way as in the carrying of the
mails.
| The example now set IN Great Britain
will be watched with interest on this side
of the Atlantic If it succeeds well, there
is no reason to suppose 1t would not be
equally advantageous in this country
England was the first to set us the exam
pie of cheap postage; after several years
demonstration of its practicability there
it was finally adopted here. II is not
| probable, however, that any immediate
steps will be taken to adopt the policy Of
putting the telegraph lines under govern
ment control i'll this country. The matter
was under consideration by committee
in Congress at the last session, but nc
progress was made. 1t is ACQUISITION Of

ARTIFICIAL SToNE.-There have been

Fond du Lac Commonwealth
"We have witnessed in this city the
process OF converting sand into stone,
which Is likely to be one of those wonder
ful improvements which may change the
architecture of our cities Sand can be
converted, by a chemical process into
stone, in the course of few minutes, and
at SO little expense and with such beau,i-
tul carving, that window cap which
would ordinarily cost ten dollars can furn-

capable of indefnate ornamentation at
very little expense. In truth, every house
