Soldiers Home Vote.

The Supreme Court of the State,
although it has reversed the decision
of the lower court in the Montgomery
county contested election case, and re
manded the case for a new trial, has
decided that the inmates of the Day
ton Soldiers Home are not entitled
to vote, upon the ground that they
are within the exclusive Jurisdiction
of the United States, and are not res
idents of Ohio within the meaning of
article ), section IL of the constitution
of Ohio. Chief Justice Brinkerhoff

In the election last year, many of
the above Districts were Democratic,
and the margin in others so close,
that a small effort would have carried
five or six more.
The majority for Welker, in this
District is so small, that n change of
ten votes in each township in Ashland,
Wayne aud Holmes counties will elect
a Democratic Congressman this fall
Can these gallant counties accomplish
the task? We feel certain they IAN.
The South will soon be able to ex-
press her wishes in the Halls of Con-
gress, and her delegation will be Dem
~ocratic. If a reasonable gain is made
in the North, the day of iron rule will
be ended, and peace once more spread

Dispatches from Madrid, dated Nov.
II, state that the Spanish Cortes has
elected the Duke Of Aosta King OF
Spain by vote of 1872 against 120.
The opposition voted as follows: For
a Republic, 81; for Montpensier, 22;
for Espartero, 8 for Alfonso. 2; for
Montpensier's daughter, L; declined
to vote, 1s. Several deputies who vo-
ted against the Duke Of Aosta changed
their votes to the affirmative. The
Duke has been proclaimed King by
the President Of the Cortes. Salvos
Of artillery followed the proclamation.
The Duke Of Aosta, who has had this
fiatterihg honor conferred upon him, is
better known as Prince Amadeus, the
second son Of King Victor Emanuel of
Italy. He is quite young, being in
his Goth year. but is said to be pos
sessed Of superior mental faculties and
an indomitable will, and it is believ-
cd that he is better fitted to govern
than his elder brother, Prince Humbert,
who is heir apparent to the italian
throne. At the age of fourteen years
Amadeus won complimentary notice
for. services against the Austrians, and
still later he served with distinction
against the Neapolitans and Papal
troops. II he should prove as great a
favorite with the Spaniards as he was
with the people of his own sunny Italy,
his task of ruler will be an easy one
and fruitful of good results. In any
event it is u source of present congrat-
nlation that the vacant throne of lisa.

bent who is likely to have the conf.

JUBnANT.-That veteran Democrat
ic paper, the Quincy (Ills.) Herald,
comes to US this week bristling with
booming cannon and filed with the
echoes of numerous growing chanti-
cleers, all in honor of the recent DEM
ocratic victories. The Democracy
carried Adams county--of which
Quincy is the county seat-by one
thousand majority, and in that Con
gressional District (the 4th) the Rad
ical majority is brought down from
1,700 two years ago to about 0,O0C
now. While great praise should
be given to other Democratic sources
for this victory, yet we believe that q
major part of it is due to the live, en-.
ergetic, vigorous and forcible fight
which the Herald made upon the en-.
envy all through the campaign, and il
should be entitled to renewed sup
port and confidence from the Democ,
racy Of noble old Adams. A few
more such uncompromising and able
Journals as the Herald would soon re.
deem Illinois from Radical thralldom
and place it in the hands of honest
Democrats and true lovers OF the peo.
pie.

LATER ELECTION NEWS.

Since our last publication fuller re-
turns have been received from the
recent elections, and more fattering
results for the Democracy have been
attained than were at first represented.
The New York Assembly, which
was last week reported tie, is found
to have a Democratic majority of one.
Returns received from the Eighth
Kentucky District, which was last
week claimed by the Republicans,
place beyond all doubt the election Of
Adams, Democrat. This makes an
unbroken delegation from Kentucky
to Congress, Democratic candidates
having been elected in every District.
Illinois gave Republican majority
of about 15, 900, and the Congressional
delegation from that State stands 8
Republicans to 6 Democrats, Demo-
cratic gain of two congressman.
1t is now conceded that the
Lower House of the Missouri Leg
islature has a very good working
Democratic majority, which. consid-
ering the disabilities thrown around
the white voters of that State, is cer-
tainly remarkable, and shows conclu-
sively that when the Democracy are
all permitted to vote their majority in
Old Missouri will lie overwhelming.
Arkansas, which our previous ad-
vices stated had gone in favor of the
kangaroos, orang-outangs and inferior
Yankee carpet-baggers, now sends
greeting to the people of tho world
with Democratic majority on hei
State ticket and the election of two
Democratic Congressman to one Rad
ical. II the Legislature is Democrat
ic, as now claimed, the Radical car
pet-bagger, Mcdonald, will be sue
ceeded by white man with white
principles in the next United States
Senate.
In Nevada, the entire Democratic
ticket, both State and Congressional
is elected, thus sending Kendall t.
Congress in place of the unscrupuloui
Fitch, wEo was sort of dirty-worl
tool for the Radicals in the last Con
gress. And now the three youthful
States, standing on the golden shorei
of the Pacific, where the setting SUI
casts her last rays lovingly across
their snow-capped mountains ant
fingers caressingly along their shining
shores, stand shoulder to shoulder il
the great cause of Justice and Right
and send greeting to their Eastern
sisters who are disenthralled from
the Radical yoke and ready to worl
together for the triumph of the goo'
old Democrutic party in the ferc
contest which two years more vii
bring upon us.
