"PLEBEscrrE. Some inquiriug wag sent
the following note to the editor of the New Or
leans Times
New ORLEANS, April 26, 1870.
Mr. Editor-Enclosed find SO. What the
devil is a Ptdebiscite /?
Yours languidly, j. G. Y"
The importuned editor delivered himself
thus: Measuring our correspondents anxiety
by his liberality, both gratitude and compassion
prompt an early reply. Having once passed
through similar condition of mental exhaus-
ton 10 endeayorng TO comprehend the ''Schles-
Wig Holstein question, we can feel for our
friend dazstl condition over the 'Plebiscite. ;
and sbal! therefore proceed to answer it.
A 'plebiscite is a thing only few fellers I'm
derstand. You see, when, in the course of hu-
man events, the policy of government, in its
transcendental relations with the political econ
emies OF State, becomes imbued with the
spectral analysis of abnormal influences in
fringing upon the perpetuity of institutions,
at once detrimental and nugatory TO the alb
struse interests of theocracy why, then, de-
cent respect for the opinions of mankind re-
quires the profnulgasio Of a popular analytical
manifesto in which y Tn short. q
''plebiscite Or in other words, it is French for
'Shoo, fly, don't bodder me-. There !''

October Elections.

Several important elections occur TINS
month. The political complexion OF the
next House of Representatives will be es-
tablished by the result of The elections held
on the 18th of October.
On that day Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska In
diana and Pennsylvania, elect members OF
Congress. In Nebraska only is there
Governor to be elected. In the other
States several State officers IRE to be voted
for.
South Carolina votes fer Governor,
lieutenant Governor, and members OF
Congress, on the 18th instant.
West Virginia closes the October cleo
tions on the 9th. A Governor and full
State ticket, and members Of Congress are
to be elected.
In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia, substantial gains for the
Democrats are expected, and the struggle
is quite animated. We are not prepared
to give an opinion as to the result, but
hope the expectations OF our friends will
be fully realized. We cannot but believe
that these elections, with those 10 follow
early in November, will demonstrate, at
least, that the country is preparing for
grand national political revolution IN 1877.
