CONTEST IN THIS DISTRICT.

There was quite lively contest IN
this dis..:ct over the election of Con
gressman, but the result leaves no trace
of doubt behind as to the fortunate indi-
yidual who shall hold the Office for the
next two years. The Democratic candi-
date (yaughan) has been allowed to
walk over the track, while the Smithites
and Shawites have been engaged in the
lively little game of cutting each others
throats. 1t is quite amusing to see with
what anxiety these rival factions of the
same party look for the news, to ascer-
tain il possible whether their candidate
is ahead, not hoping in any event to see
such an enc elected, only that he may
not be behind his Radical opponent.
The matter is still in doubt, and it may
be, after all, that the magyar will run
ahead of his white brother Smith, and
have the credit of placing his fiat-bottom
foot upon the neck of this petty little
thief, who should now, since his defeat,
be made repay back to the State what
has been robbed and taken away by him
by well-merited service in the peniten-
tiary This is the last of the carpet-bag
scum to be gotten rid of in our State;
and perhaps the little General will again
be seen to pursue his ancient calling OF
vending peanuts and popcorn to the
denizens of Grand junction. We
would recommend that as, perhaps,
the more suitable to, his high order OF
genius, rather than going to Congress
Smith was spoiled in the bringing up for
a first-class thief, from the fact that he
was inclined to estimate the value OF
everything he did by the price Of quart
of peanuts, or that other article, pop
corn. he delighted in dispensing to those
whe might in return have a stamp to
throw away He was too cheap in his
votes while a member of the Legisla-
ture, but was said to have raised his
price little after getting TO Congress.
As to the latter, we cannot say; It may
after all be mere rumor. We must bid
our ouondam friend adieu, and in doing
SO, Smith, it is with regret, for many are
the bouts we have had in politics, and
must pine for want Of something to
strike alta head to punch, our good fellow.
Our friend has the consolation of know
ing that he carries with him the scars of
many battles, not only on his back, but
in front, right on his ear, piece of
which was sacrificed on the sacred altar
of his country cause and tine cause of
loyalty. These are his jewels, and in
that he is richer than great many
Peace be to his ashes, for conscience he
has none; and may the Lord take a
liking to him in the next world, for in
this he has had but few friends, and they
have treated him numerically. Dear
Smith, farewell

FRANCE.

Tours, November ION. Gambetta
has received, from Paris, an important
circular from Favre, explaining the cause
of breaking off negotiations between
Bismarck and Theirs. Favre throws all
the responsibility for the failure of the
armistice upon Prussia for iniquitously
refusing to revictual Paris. Prussia
pretends to force the continuance of the
war because France will not cede two
provinces. She really seeks to destroy
France to crafty the ambition of men
governing Germany; and by reducing
Paris through the horrors of famine,
seeks to annihiIate the nation.
