The full returns of the recent County
elections come in with great irregularity,
and many of the returns received do not
show the result with sufficient clearness to
enable US to make u comparison OF the vote
with the vote at previous elections. Every
district however, appears to have increased
its Democratic or Conservative vote, the
change In some districts being startling.
Comparing the vote at the County elect
tions with the vote upon the ratification OF
the new constitution, We obtain the follow
ing figures
Darlington, majority for the constitu-
ton 2019, Radical majority County cleo
tions 1921, Democratic gain 698.
Laurens, maj aiority for the constitution
764, Democrat majority County elections

Democratic Victory in the City ofGRlena,
Illinois. the Former Home of General
Grant.
We regard it as q significant fact that on
Tuesday last, as announced in our Tele-
graphic dispatches yesterday, the Democ-
racy achieved complete triumph over the
Radicals in the election of Fl. 81. Savage,
Mayor and the entire Board of Aldermen,
by the handsome majority of between $50
and 300. The victory is more gratifying
as it was strict party contest in view of
the approaching Presidential campaign, in
the place where Grant is better known
than in any other spot on earth, and where
q. B. Washburne, who has assumed the
guardianship of the General, has resided
for many years. Galena is also the place
where reside two of the victims of E. NJ.
Stanton-M. Y. johnson and David Sne-
han, Esqs.-who, without warrant of law,
were dragged from their homes and i'm
prisoned, the one in Fort Lafayette and
the other at Fort Delaware, for four long
months. and then discharged uncondi-
tionally," there never having been so much
as the scratch of pen in the shape of a
charge against either of them. Mr.. Sav-
age, the newly elected Mayor of that city,
is one of the most thoroughgoing, outspo-
hCu, dGu ISl1dU10 DGuuOCItCS LII dill LlldO re-
gion, and was, at the time Of his election,
the editor of the Galena Democrat, Jour
Ial that has ever been perfectly free III its
utterances, and consistent in its uDdisguis-
ed hostility to Kadicalism in all its forms
and varieties. A few years ago, six differ
ent attempts we're made in one day to de-
molish the Office of that paper, by rabble
instigated to the cowardly act by that same
E. B. Washburne and his unprincipied fol-
lowers and sdupes. But now the city of Ga
lena stands redeemed from every veshge
of that intolerant and dastardly spirit, not
single Office in the city being held by the
friends of Washburne and his reticent pro-
tege. The Gazette, the organ of the Grant
and Washburne clique, in trying to put
the best possible face upon this overwheI-
ming defeat, says: 1" 1t is rumored that the
Democrats, sometimes called copperheads,
had things pretty much their own way
Shouldn't wonder. We have not the ex-
act figures. We have not been in the mood
to day to hunt up figures, and in fact don't
take much interest in figures, particularly
when they toot up Democratic majorities. -"
Truly, Grant gets cold comfort from his
old neighbors-those who know him best.
AS goes Galena, so goes the State of Lii
nois; and as goes Illinois, SO goes "the rest

N Important Incidental Decision by Chief
Justice Chase in the Case of Moore &
Hrother VS., Foster q Moore.


This case was before the United States
Circuit Court yesterday, Chief Justice
Chase presiding. Both the counsel for the
plaintiffs, Mr.. Gilmer, and the counsel for
the defendants, Messrs. Guigon and John
Howard, asked for instructions.
The history of the case is this: The de-
PENDANTS owed the plaintiffs 5000 by nego-
table notes, which fell due while Norfolk
and Portsmouth were in the Confederate
lines. After the occupation of Norfolk by
United States troops, the plaintiffs, who
reside in Baltimore, went to Norfolk and
agreed to take Virginia money in satisfac
ton of their claim. The defendants sub
sequently purchased draft, drawn by the
Bank of Windsor, North Carolina, on a
bank at Portsmouth, Va, for 1000, and
remitted it to the plaintiffs. This the plain
tiffs failed to present until after the assets
of the Portsmouth Bank were removed into
the Confederate lines. The plaintiffs con-
tinued to hold the draft until 1867, when
they returned it, and demanded payment
of the notes.
The substance of the instructions of the
Chief Justice to the jury were that in order
to give verdict for the defendants they
must be convinced that Windsor, North
Carolina, at the time the draft was drawn,
was permanently under the control OF the
Federal government, not under such con-
troll as the mere temporary occupation by
Federal troops would give; second, that
the plaintiffs did accept the draft in salts
faction of their claim.
The incidental decision of the Chief JUS
tice was that any draft drawn by any party

Views on Impeachment and Politics.
The following confidential letter from
Chief Justice Chase to personal friend,
has been published in the New York Her
aid as giving the present position and SEN
timents of Mr.. Chase on important political
questions:
WASHINGTON, May 25, 1868.
lLy Dear Sir: You are right in believing
that l "shall never abandon the great
principles. for the success of which 1 have
given my entire life." I adhere to my ''old
creed of equal rights, without one jot or
title of abatement. / shall be GLAD if the
new professors of that creed adhere to it as
faithfully.
I am amazed by the torrent of invectives
by which I am drenched. Almost every
thing alleged as fact is falsehood out of the
whole cloth. Where an allegation has a
little fact in it the fact is SO perverted and
travestied that it becomes falsehood. /
know no motive for all this except disap-
polntment that impeachment has not thus
far proved a success, coupled with O belief
that L have done something to prevent its
being a success [ have noI been q partisan
of impeachment certainly but have not
been q partisan on the other side.
AS presiding officer over the trial, my
conscience testifes that I have been strict
ly impartial and am sure that any one
who reads the report will say SO. Indivi-
dually have my convictions and opinions,
but 1 have very seldom given utterance to
them. Indeed, do not think that the
case, in any of its aspects, has been the
subject of conversation between myself and
more than four or five Senators, and then
only casually and briefly. No Senator will
say that [ have sought to influence him.
The real ground of denunciation is that
I have not been partisan of conviction !;
and this denunciation / am willing to bear.
They may denounce and abuse me and
read me out of the party if they choose.
follow my old lights, not the new.
What the developments of the future may
be know not. l neither expect nor de-
sire to be candidate for Office again. It
would, however, crafty me exceedingly if
| the democratic party would take ground
| which would assure the party against all
| attempts to subvert the principle of uni
versal suffrage established in eight, and to
be established in all, of the Southern con-
stitutions. Then, think, the future of
| the great cause--for which 1 have labored
so long-would be secure, and 1 should not
regret my absence from political labors.

CURIOUS SCENE MA LONDON CHURCH.
The following scene recently took place in
an East-end church, 1t appeared that
widow of about 35, with large family, had
persuaded young man of "a to marry her,
and that when before the minister the ques-
tion ''Wilt thou have this woman to be thy
welded wife?" was put to him, he replied,
'Hold on bit, gunner; don't you be in
quite such hurry. l want to know more
about the business first" His companion
behind him said, go on, don't you be in
funk about it; it's all right" but the
bridegroom was not to be persuaded After
waiting some time the minister said, 'Let
us pray" and the intended Benedict turned
round to his friend for advice on this SUBJ
ject, upon which the answer was returned,
'that it was like going up stairs on your
knees" There was tremendous crowd
waiting outside for them, and when they
emerged from the church those in waiting
freely bespotted them with -four, &c. The
following morning the woman came to the
house for relief stating that she did not
know where her husband was, nor anything
about him.-London paper
