The elections held in New York,

other States on the I'd have resulted
gloriously for the Democrats. In the
first named State, Temperance and
Lager Beer did not fight well "mit

which the RAIDS had u majority on
Joint ballot of % last winter. The
RAIDS having held power in this State
for tho past Is years will be 10th to
forsake the crib. A universal change
of things may be looked for in that
State.
In Now Jersey the Democrats made
a handsome increase. The Senate will
stand Democrats, Is; Radicals s; the
House 33 Democrats and 26 Radicals.
This secures n Democratic Z. S. Sena-
tor in the room Of Cattell, Radical.
In the other States the Democrats
gained largely, showing conclusively
that the country is tired Of Radical
rule and ruin, and that another cleo

miraculous Escape.

A Nashville paper of the 18th ult,
relates the following; One Of the most
wonderful and unprecedented escapes
from horrible death that was prob.
ably ever recorded, occurred at 4
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, on the
Louisville and Memphis Railroad
While the train was rushing at full
speed, within n short distance Of Rus
sollvlllc, KY, and near the crossing Of
a country road, carriage, drawn by
two mules and containing four per
sons, suddenly appeared upon the
track. The engineer was Mortified at
the sight. lie shuddercd us he blew
"down brakes" and reversed his en-.
gine. Tho carriage seemed to stand
still, while the train swept on, threat
ening to carry with il destruction and
death. Nothing could stay its swift
course. There was crash. The car.
riage was torn into fragments. Two
of the inmates, lady aud gentleman,
were carried q distance of l50 yards
on the cow.catcher, and dropped into
a cow.gap The other two, a gentle
man and lady, rode on the cow.catcher,
to which they c'ung with desperation,
for the distance of 100 yards beyond,
when the train was finally checked,
and they were taken Of.
Had not the two first fallen into
the gap, they would have inevitably
been crushcG beneath the wheels Of
..ao train. Tho escape seems provi-
Dental and miraculous The frame of
the carriage having first come in con-
tact with the locomotive, broke the
force of the collision, and they were
dropped, as it were, on the cow-catcher
as the train passed on This is the
only way in which their escape can
be accounted for Strange TO say,
they were only slightly bruised,
When the carriage was struck, it
was torn loose from the mules, which
had just passed over the track sufli-
GENTLY far to miss the train. The
animals becoming frightened, ran
away toward Russellville. The two
gentlemen and ladies were cousins,
and were on their way TO that place
when they were overtalsen by what
might have proved terrible catas-
trophe.

A "GRASD Moral" IDEA.-Brick
Pomeroy, in late number Of his New
York Democrat, says: The Jacobin
papers of Wisconsin are making most
heart-rending appeals to the people TO
vote in favor of the increase of salary
TO the Governor. Tho reason of this
is well.known to every one in Wiscon-
sin. The Governor is Lucius Fairchild,
and the Radicals expect to re elect
him. Some years ago be sednecd a
little girl at Madison, named Mollie
Newcomb, and then deserted her.
Now Mollie is getting her revenge by
levying upon the highly moral Lucius
for q few thousand dollars every few
months for hush money The salary
Of the Governor would no. enable
Lucius TO support such luxury, and
his Radical keepers have been com.
PEELED TO subscribe the amount each
time. This they have become tired of,
and seek 10 have it saddled upon the
taxpayers by raising his salary. The
people win undoubtedly treat it 70

OUTRAGE AND RoBBERY.-One Of
the boldest and most vilianous outra-

alleged TO have been perpetrated ear

Not knowing the whereabouts of this
house, she made some inquiries con-
eerning it, when a fellow named B. A..
Taylor (colored), offered to escort her
to IL. She accepted the proposition:
bat instead of acting faithfully in the
matter, Taylor took her in quite an
opposite direction, and attempted to
commit an assault upon her person,
which she successfully resisted. He
then snatehed from her some Of her
clothing, such as furs, etc, and made
off He was arrested Sunday morn
