seen by advertisement in to-day's paper
that the County Commissioners have de.
cided to effect loan of s., 900, on behalf

SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. ii, 1869.
The Late Elections.

We have cheering news from Tennessee
aud Kentucky. Returns from the latter
State indicate Democratic majority Of
10000, while in Tennessee the Stokes par
ty have sustained Waterloo defeat. SO
has been the result in Virginia and Ala
bama. Wherever the issue has been fairly
made upon the extreme measures of Rad
icalism, that party has gone to the wall
There is point beyond which reason will
not be driven, and all the brides which
unlimited power command will not swcrvc
beyond it. We believe the reign of cor
ruption and dishonor is drawing to close
The hcalthful current which had set in so
strong in 1867, again gathers force, and
once more moves forward in an unbroken,
irresistible torrent. Diverted for time
from its course by the nomination. of Grant,
and the passion of hero-worship to which
the American people so much incline,
with the prestige and spoils of victory in
the grasp of the the Radical party, they
have but succeeded in erecting temporal
ny barrier to the return of the true princi-
pies of Constitutional government. We
confess there have been times of late when
the hearts of the friends of these cherished
principles might trcmblc with fear, times
when it appeared as if the lavish distribu-
sion of plumber might corrupt public sem
timent in all channels, but the illusion is
now being dispelled.
The Administration has proven a gigan-
tic failure. Grant has not the ability to
crown the hopes of his party schcmers with
final and complete success. Ecvoid of a
single element of craftsmanship, his efforts
Of late have been powerlcss for anything
but defeat Of his party. Andrew johnson
will doubtless be in the next Senate. and
in a position where he may repay Grant
for his duplicity and treachcry to him.
To our friends we say, be of good cheer.
The dark clouds which have lowered about
the political horizon are clearing away.
Democracy will soon again startle time
serving fanaticism with the clarion notes
of victory.

know we but speak his own sentiments as
we'll as those Of his many warm friends
here when We say that it is attended with
feelings Of mutual regret at the rupture Of

fact that Col. Ferry bears with him to his

The best wishes of great many warm
hearts will attend him on his journey, for
his absence leaves vacant place here not
easily supplied" We are not in the hab-

nents, but this judgment Of the Gazette,
founded upon such long residence, is
sufficient evidence that he possesses the
inestimablc qualities Of a gentleman.

1t contained forty thousand barrels ofwhis-
Ky and other goods valued at ten or eleven
millions Of dollars. The efforts Of the fire.
men to subdue the flames were greatly i'm
peded by the burning liquor running
through the streets. A large number Of
minor casualties have occurred. No lives
are known to be lost except two children
killed by falling walls. The origin Of the
fire is said to be the breaking down Of the
floor over the engine room, BY. the immense
weight of whisky, which, bursting through,
Immediately caught fire. Most Of the
whisky is that on which duty had been
paid, under the extension act Of Congress.
The fire was the most destructive one that
has occurred since tho great FIRE of'ls50.
