The Last Elections Oh the denomination

Mississippi and Texas have at length COM
piled with the reconstruction acts, and only
the ratification of the fifteenth amendment
by their respective legislatures is necessary to
entite them to admission to the Union. 1t
is probable that we do not assume too much
in saying so, though it is quite certain that
Texas has elected Democratic Governor,
and both States may have rejected the dis
franchsing and test oath clauses of the free
constitutions submitted to them. They nave
both no doubt, ACCEPTED the body OF the con-
stitutions, and that is all the reconstruction
act requires. Mississippi at this second trial
has done noby, and put herself IN line with
the strongest Republican States, repudiating
ambitious little Judge Dent, who imagined
that the ties of affinity that connected him
with Grant would make him sufficiently at
tractive to the Unionists to enable them to
overlook his alliance with the obstructionists.
Gen. Alcorn, the Republican Governor elect,
was rebel during the war, but is now as
thoroughly reconstructed as Gen. Longstreet
himself In Texas, Hamilton, the Conserva-
tive candidate, has triumphed, If the first dis
patches are to be relied upon. The election
which began Tuesday did not close till Fri
day night, and later dispatches may probably
show that Davis the Republican candidate
was elected after all.
Inc era of reconstruction is drawing to a
close. The Senators and Representatives
from Virginia will probably be admitted to
Congress, though the extreme Radicals of
that State regard the late election as fraudu-
lent, and wish it to be disregarded at Wash
ington. When Mississippi and Texas have
ssembled their legislatures and ratified the
amendment, they, too, will be admitted, and
we shall have once more the Union restored
to its integrity. Nearly decade has elapsed
since, in the winter of 1860, South Carolina
led her sister States into the fatal snare of Sc
cassion. Nine long, weary, anxious years,
some of them full of bIoodshed and ruin, and
some of them Of stormy political strife, have
gone by, and at length the patriots dream of
restored Union-a dream that has often
seemed impossible to be fulilled-is at
length on the point of being realized. Other
years must elapse, no doubt, before the formal
political union consummated by the represent
alton of all the States in Congress will be sup
plemented by the restoration of fraternal feel
ing. But the first step is the political union
and that we shall soon see accomplished I'M
der the civil administration of him whose
genius saved his country on the field of battle.

POPULAR FALLACIEs.-The.B Boston Jour-
nal Of Chemistry for December combats two
very old and respectable popular fallacies
viz, that the evaporation of water on stoves
or furnaces is conducive to health, and that
there is possibility of the spontaneous
combustion of the human body. The writer
says that from series of careful observations
made by him he concludes that families
where water is evaporated in large quantities
to correct a supposed dryness of the air
(which is really only too high temperature)
are mere subject to colds, coughs, catarrh and
consumption than others.
