The Elections

In another column will be found
the returns from the various State
elections, as they have come to hand.
They are rather crude, but still we
gather from them that we have lost
two Congressman in New York, five
in Tennessee, possibly more, one in
Wisconsin, and one in Michigan,
While we gain one in Louisiana, one
in New Jersey, one in Virginia, and
probably one in Kentucky, and hold
our own in Illinois, Missouri, Mas
sachusetts, Kansas, Rhode Island,
Nevada and Minnesota. The state
ment would then be, Democratic
gain 9, Republican gain 4. Net
Democratic gain five. Fuller re-
turns will no doubt vary these figures
some, but the Democratic gain will
be far from what they expected, and
may not even come up to what is
here conceded. Where we have
lost, except in Tennessee, the loss
has been occassioned by purely To-
cal causes, which affected only the
Congressional Candidate, as in the
1st district of Wisconsin, and Sixth
District of Michigan. Where we have
gained, the result is owing to the
growth of healthy Republican SEN
timent, which will prove reliable in
the future.
LATER RETURNS indicate a Repub-
lican loss of two Congressman in Il
linois, three in Missouri, and one in
Alabama, besides those noted above.
The Democrats loose one in Mime
sota. The summing up then would
be a Democratic gain of Is members.
Republican gain of ! making a net
Democratic gain of 10. At the Oc-
tober elections they gained 8-mak-
ing net gain at both elections of 10.
The next Congress will be sufficient
ly Republican for all practical pur-
poses.

The New mstriken in Oil

Pittsburgh Is In a white heat Of excitement
over the good luck Of some party who recently
bored hole into the ground at Bradv's Bend
few miles from that city, and was rewarded
by having the petroleum gush out at the rate
OF thousand barrels per day If there is anv
one thing which every Pittsburgher wants
more than anything else, it is q give hundred
barrel" oil well; and naturally the rush to
Brady's Bend has been something to remind
old campaigneTs of the widest days of Titus
vile and Pithole. Men have bought lots at
immense prices, and the face of the country
thereabout already resembles the muzzle of a
mitrailleuse. Many Of the new hores have
found oil, and the indications are that a vast
accession to the petroleum product of the state
IS within easy realization. How long it will
hold out, nobody seems to inquire for, with
all that study and experience have demonstra-
ted on that point, the subject is as obscure and
imperfectly understood as ever. Much has
been learned in the details of boring and man
aging wells, but the finding of "producing ter
ritory" and determining the permaneDce of its
yield, Is as much matter of chance as ever
Meanwhile, the original thousand barrel orifice
flows on as bountifully as ever, the happy pos
sessor keeps two or three steamboats, busy in
carrying his product to Pittsburgh, and, with
the consciousness that he is about four thous-
and dollars richereach day than he was the dav
before, he is no doubt happy. An oil weIl-oT,
indeed, anything capable of creating hundred
and sixty dollars of wealth per hour for an in
definite period, is an interesting object from
more than one point of view, and the more
there are of them the better-C Cleveland

The friends of Senator Mortor
are urging the President to retain
Motley as Minister to England un-
til the adjournment of the Indiana
Legislature, when (as the Legisla.
ture meets bienuially,) it could not
elect Democrat to succeed Morton,
and the Governor could appoint a
Senator in harmony with the admin
istration, to fill Morton's unexpired
term. We trust the Administration
viii not stoop to such jobbing. Sen
ator Morton's declinatiou has been
accepted, and there the matter should
end, unless Morton's presence in
England is essential, and then if it is
let him yield his seat now, that the
popular will may be allowed to fill
the vacancy. Otherwise let him re-
main in his present position till the
end of his term. The other might
be denominated SHARP practice" :"
but it is not the practice which
would distinguish the Republican
organization.

UNDER the constitution of the
state of Ohio, a re-apportionment Of
members of the Legislature is made
once in ten years, on the basis Of the
Federal Census. The method OF
making the apportionment is laid
down in detail, but our readers will
not be especially interested in its re-
petition. Most of the counties of
the state viii have the same repre-
sentation as the present decade, but
some changes are made. Cuyahoga
County will have five representatives
in the ncxt decade, and Hamilton
county ten. lake and Geauga will
be consolidated into one. Stark
county is entitled to two represent
atives in four out of five sessions of
the decade. Lorain, Medina, Huron,
Erie and MahoniDg, have one for al
live of the sessions and so on.

A Double Headed Snake.

The 0wosso (Mich) Crusader
has been shown by Mr.. E. o. Phil
lips of COopersville, O double head
ed snake of the water species, which
is the most natural, unnatural thing
we ever saw. There are two perfec-
heads, four perfect eyes, and each
mouth occasionally protrudes a
tongue. These two heads join each
other in one perfect body at their
base, and are so equally developed,
and so accurately adjusted, that the
removal of either would disfgure his
snakeship, or snakcships, as the case
may be. The reptile is about eight
inches in length, and is quite lively.
We thought that, in some of its
jerking motions, we could discern
the presence of two minds or in
stincts, trying to operate on one bo-
dy at the same time. This snake
was captured by Mr.. Lorenzo Haight
of Rush, few miles north of this
city, and sold to Mr.. Phillips, who,
we learn, is negotiating a sale to Prof.
Crane, of the Grand Rapids Museum.
The Professor will hardly allow such
prize to slip through his fingers.
Barnum would make a fortune with
it in six weeks.
This, for snakedom, isa fair Offset
to the Ohio dual-child.
A snake similar to the above was
captured, on the "Marsh," near New
Haven, Huron county about Is
months ago, and was kept for some
time for a curiosity.
