The official returns from forty-five
counties in Kentucky give Demo-
cratic gain of27 $40, and a majority
for Governor Stevenson Of S0,629.-
The full returns will send the major.

Kentucky was neutral during the
war, but preferred to be within the
northern military lines for protection.
The masses served in the rebel army,
and none of these are DISTINGUISHED.
Only the loyal blacks are disfranchis-

on account of the Ku Klux.

at Atlanta, Ca:
wThose SO called Governors and
Legislatures which have been cstab.
lished in our midst shall at once be
made vdcant. The convention at Neo
York appointed Frank Blair especially
to Gust them"
In the same strain, the following
from the Mobile Tribune is plain
enough:
"Friends-fellow citizens Of Mobile

ties. II zoe are SuccessfM.ia the ap-

The Charles ION Mercury also SAYS
"The platform Of the Democratic
party is square upon the letter of
General Blair, and General Blair's
letter is the legitimate and actual ex-
pounding of the platform. l will
avail little to deny it, North, South,
East or West. Any paliation of the
fact is perversion Of the fact. 1t is
more-it is iII-taith to tho body of

correct when he says that those who
attempt to lead the Democrat party,
If they intend to abandon its platform,
might as well abandon the field, as
they are whipped already"

IF WE KNEW.

If we knew when walking thou ghtless,
Through the crowded dusty way,
That some pearl of wondrous whiteness
Close beside our pathway lay,
We would pause where now we hasten,
We would oftner look around,
Lest our careless feet should trample
Some rare jewels in the ground.
If we knew what forms were fainting
For the shade which we should fling
If we knew what lips are parching
For the water we should bring.
We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cooling cups of water,
Planting rows Of standing palms.
If we knew where feet were weary,
Climbing up the hills of pain,
By the world cast out as evil
Poor repentant Magdalenes-S
We no more would dare to scorn them
With our Pharisaic pride,
Wrapping close our robes around us,
Passing to the other side.
If we knew when friends around,
Closely press to say Good-by,"
Which among the lips that kiss US
First beneath the flowers should lie,
When like rain upon their faces
Fall our bitter binding tears,
Tender words of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears.
Holy Father in the Heavens!
Nearer to the perfect day,
Through the shining track of duty,
Wilt thou guide US on our way.
When these walls of clay shall crumble,
When this mortal breath shall cease,
Wilt Thou crown us in Thy Kingdom.
With Thine own "unending peace:"

An AdrOit -Ordsman

Pulaski, as is well known, was as
adrOit a swordsman as he was perfect in
h~Orsemanship, and he always rode a pow
erful and feet charger.
During the retreat of the American ar
my through New Jersey, in the darkest
hour of our national adversely, Pulaski,
was, with a small party of horsemen, pur-
sued by a large party of British cavalry,
the leader Of which was a good horseman,
and mounted nearly as we'll as Pulaski
Pulaski rode In the rear of his detach-
ment and the British captain in the front
Of those he commanded.
The morning was shining brightly cast
ing oblique shadows, and as the pursued
party entered a long narrow lane, Pulas-
XII having satisfied himself of the superb
or speed and command of his horse over
that of his pursuer, slackened his pace
and kept his horse to the side OF the lane
farthest from the sun. The pursuing of
fcer came up in hot haste, his sword ele-
waited so as to make the decisive cut
upon Pulaski as soon as he could reach
him.
Pulaski rode as though he heard not
the advance upon him-yet he kept his
eye fixed warily upon the ground on the
side Of his horse toward the sun on the
right. As soon as he saw the shadow of
his pursuers horse gain upon him, and
that the horses head, by his shadow, had
gained about half the length Of his own
horses body, he gave the sudden sword
cut of st. George with his powerful arm,
and saw the decapitated head of the Eng
lish officer following the stroke.
His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the shad-
.oW SO accurately-his position giving a
long back reach to his arm, while the
cross stroke Of his pursuer mnst have
been made at much shorter distance to
have taken efect-that the pursuing off,
Ger lost his head before he suspected that
his proximity was known, or that a blow
was meditated.
