members who regard the will of the people
that elected them as entitled to respect.
THE ELECTIONS.
The returns Of the fall elections come in a
manner most gratifying to the Democracy
New York is carried by at least 20, 900 ma
lority and there can be no question that this
great State is permanently with the constitu IL
tional party.
In Massachusetts, Clallin, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is elected by about
1000 ma iority. Last year Grant had Il 900
MAJORITY Even Massachusetts feels the tidal
wave.
Maryland of course goes Democratic, rs
She always does
Alabama, despite radical oppression and
carpet-b aggcrs, hoists the banner of Democ-
racv.
From Illinois NOT enough has been received
to indicate the result.
These victories, with the escape of radical
calism by the skin of its teeth in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, Indicate the certainly good
time coming Let our friends take courage.
The culpurteurS and missionaries are pay
ing particular attention to the travelling pub
lie Just now. One of them goes regularly
through the cars on the Eastern Railroad dis
lribuing warning tracts. We Were recently
presented with one conveying the startling
information that we We're on the direct road
to Tophet-hu found that the cars arrived
land. Also, pcrceiving a red ticket lying on
the seat, and thinking some passenger had
lost his check, we picked it up and read in
large lctters-FFoR THE LORD kNOwETII

A great deal is being said in the papers
about the petrilicd body of a giant that is
claimed to have been dug up near s. racusc,
New York. 1t is the well proportioned statue
of man ten feet high, and was found under
three feet of EARTH in what appeared to have
once been the bed of :: stream. n is known
that some of the waters in the vicinity have
petrityin@ properties. On the other hand, a
story is told that the curiosity was the work
of u crazy stone mason, who, on seeing the
completed result Of three years of toll, buried
the statue, and fled from the country. The
truth will be known soon. Perhaps our oc-
casional correspondent in that vicinity can
she'd some light on the subject.
Even the republican papers are getting ex-
cited about the paper credit scandals. The
Watervilc Mail and Bangor .Jeffersonal
publish statements of the suits against Far
well, and administer scorchn@ rcbukes to
that aspiring operator on town treasures.
How consistent with radicalism it wonld look
to see q man acting rs speaker Of the House
against whom suits like these have beer
brought.

We gave recently a specimen of the opin
