Interesting Postal Statistics.

The number of Postoffices in
operation in the United States is
being ascertained at the Postof-
flee Department., which, in itself,
seems simple enough, but there
are throughout the county many
offices which receive very small
mails, or no mails at all, for each
of which offices a postmaster is
employed, whose salary is merely
a nominal one-from two to twelve
hundred dollars a gear. The
postmaster is required to give
bonds, which proceeding costs
dollar or more, and some trouble
and inconvenience. In many
cases persons appointed as post
masters neglect to give bond, and
there are others who, even if they
do give bonds do not perform the
duties of their offices. Frequent
ly the key of the office or mail
pouches are procured hy irres
ponsible parties, and the mails as
sorted and distri buted, Or deliy-
cred, without the assistance or su-
perintendence of the postmaster.
There were about twenty-eight
thousand Offices in operation dur
ing the fiscal yesc ending June 80,
1870, of which one thousand and
nlnety-three were those known as
Presidential Offices. OF the lat

State Elections.

The election is over, but the re-
turns were slow in coming in.
Out Of FIVE states that voted last
Tuesday four went Republican,
and one-our own state--has pass
ed over to the Democracy. Ohio
has done her duty, and done itwell,
the Republicans carried the state
by $4,000 majority a gain since
last year of 5000. She lost two
Congressman and gained two, her
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES there
by remaining unchanged. In
Pennsylvania the results are al
most all favorable to the Repub-
licans. Iowa has Of course gone
Republican by q large majority,
the Democracy hardly having a
show in that Massachusetts of
the West" In Nebraska the con-
test was very sharp but it has
maintained the Republican princi-
pales by decisive majority of
1900, the Legislature being over
whelmingly Republican.
In Colorado the Republicans
have triumphed by q majority Of
nearly LOO.
On the whole we have done well.
The Democracy went into the cam
vass with the expectation of gain :
ing several Congressman. They
have gained but one certainly, pos
sibly two: If the states that vote
in November, do as well, General
Grant need have no fears but that
the people endorse his admins

From the East Sag iuaw (Mich) Republican.

and would piteously implore for
mercy, stating that he was starv-
ing. Sometimes he would gather
rags or scraps Of paper and sell
them. Everyone supposed him to
be wretchediy poor. He had an
evil look, and mothers would re-
move their children when they
saw him coming. One day last
week, however. child, the son of
Mr.. Abraham Skinner, went out TO
fish in the stream, and happened
to wander on until, before he
knew it, he came to the howell OF
the Cd man. At first he was
fri ghtened, but seeing no one
around, he plucked up courage
and went nearer. Everything was
silent. lie went and peered
through a crack in the side of the
hut. He almost screamed at what
he saw, for he beheld the oil man
bending over bag Of money that
he was counting. There were 9TH
er bags beside him containing
large quantities of money. Mr..
SINNERS son was so frightened
that when he attempted to move
he stumbled, like tightening. the
old man rushed out and seized him

And before Mr., Skinner son
could say word, the old monster,
with an awful laugh, drew out q
knife and ooh, horror!) cut the
child's tongue out Then he chop
ped off his fingers. Now, he said,

matter with their child? Ee could
not speak to tell them. He could
not write; for his fingers were cut.
Still the poor boy, alter efforts of
the most horrible pain, managed
to fix pencil between his bloody
stumps of fingers and wrote the
awful tale A party was immedi-
ately organized and visited the
miser's den. He was at the door
as they approached. and fired re-
volver six times at them, wound

Mr.. Skinner returned the fire, and
the aged villain fell with pierre

crawled to his bags of gold and

The event will never be forgotten
by our citizens. The child is slow

The Indiana Election.

Later returns leave little room
for doubt that the Democracy have
carried Indiana Eighty five coun
ties report-and many of these re-
ports are official-an aggregate
Democratic majority Of l,4oo.-
TIE remaining seven counties
gave, in 1868, a Democratic ma
iority of 1876. 1t is hardly within
the range of probability that they
have this year, given Republi-
can majority, and still less, that
that majority would be sufficient to
overcome the adverse vote. The
State Senate is q tie. The Demo
Gratis have a majority of six or
eight in the House. In view OF
this result it is understood Sena-
tor MORTON will not accept the En-
plish Mission, as his resignation
as Senator would give his seat to
Democrat. EVANS, the Republl-
can candidate for Auditor, ran
largely ahead of his ticket. ana
there is chance tibet he hiss been
elected.
From the Fourth District our
advices are that Judge WILSON has
been elected. According to one
account his majority is 26; another
places it at Al. Judge WILSON'S
election being conceded, the dele
CATION to the next Congress will
stand six Republicans to five Dem
ocrats-a Democratic gain of one.
We hoped that Indiana had had
enough of Democratic rule, or mis-
rule. Probably by the time she
has recovered from the effects OF
this Democratic victory, she will
be fully prepared to have the Re-
publican party assume again the
ascendancy. We trust there will
be no letting down on the part OF
the Republicans. Let them grid
themselves for the next struggle,
and win q handsome victory
