ted Hon. VIM. CASTOR for mayor.
Senator Revels made good black I'M
preston at Rochester last week.
Hon. Samuel Hays, Of New Jersey, is
elected Secretary of State in Missouri.
There is some question whether he
ought not to have acquired a residence
in Massachusetts to become eligible.
The Springfield Republican expresses
the opinion that woman suffrage is soon
to be the winning side in Massachusetts,.
The Cleveland Woman's Suffrage Con-
yention has resolved that the ballot for
woman means stability of the marriage
relation" in which view Indiana and
Illinois should enfranchise the sex at
once.
The Providence, r. l., Press of the
18th instant charges that Mr. Anthonys
recent reelection to the United States
Senate was purchased, and hints at con-
testing of his seat.
The Chicago Republican (Radical)
thinks that, in order TO succeed in 1872,
the Republican party must be mo longer
handicapped with Grants, Mortons,
brakes and Camerons.'
The Newark, N. j., Advertiser opposes
bill to come before Congress "provi-
ding for the establishment Of common
schools by the General Government in
all the States which neglect this duty.
The Kentucky Democratic State Con
vention, heretofore called for the 9TH Of

Committee making the change on the
nth inst
The Springfield Republican (Radieal),
abiding to the conference Of revenue
reformers in New York, adds: The Tri-
bune will please begin to howl about
British gold and the wicked conspir-
acy against the Republican party"
Beecher is opposed to a war with En-
gland, and says the only war we want is
one of righteousness But DR.. Butler
says the ascendaney Of the Republican

of Il war would never do il.
A Kansas paper dominates the Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks, Of Indiana, as
the next Democratic candidate for Pres
ident The Johnstown IN. " Demo
crat announces that in 1872 the entire
Union will give one unanimous rebuke
to Radiealism, and elevate John T.
Hoffman to the Presidency"
The full returns Of the recent election
in New York give Hoffman 400, 7Ol
votes, and Woodford 365, 632, making a
majority Of S5,O69 votes for Hoffman.
The total vote in 1870 amounted to
766, 1873, against s5O,656 in the election
for Governor held in lSls, showing a
falling of Of sl,S2S votes, Of which 81
O62 belong TO the rural counties, and
SO, 26l 10 the counties Of New York and
Kings.
The Washington Chronicle opposes a
general amnesty, and in its issue Of the
29th inst, says;
Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia and
West Virginia are fair Illustrations Of
the operation Of the dogma Of universal
amnesty. A few Republicans get few
Offices, while the Democrats get the re.
mainder. The amnesty gives TO the
ex-rebels weapon with which 10 perse-
cute and defeat the Republicans even
those who put the weapon into their
hands"
In other words, the Radicals want off.
ces, and being in minority they cannot
get them.

WAR DISPATCHES.

The New York papers still carry on
their little war among themselves. Each
leading paper claims to have a CORE
spondent, or a corps of correspondents,
among the corpses of all the battle6elds
aud at the principal courts of Europe,
sustained at an immense expense.
This last statement is made from day to
day, as if to impress all their rural
readers at least with a sense of gratitude
for the great pecuniary outlay made in
their behalf Human nature in some Of
its aspects is much the same the world
over. Men are always ready to trip up
their neighbors, but seldom willing to ex-
tend the helping hand Thus, in the
great metropolis, where successes Of no
ordinary magnitude are daily achieved,
we see the most prosperous as envious OF
each other as two men struggling in the
water for dear life over frail plank
which only floats strong enough 10 sup
port one of them. These journals watch
each others Geographic columns with
tireless vigilance If one gets an item
not found by the rest, they are likely
to all denounce it as canard, and
assert that they could have had the same,
but refused to be hoaXed by such an alb
surd rumor. not credited by /" our cor
respondents who were present at the
meeting of the British cabinet last
night" or, the one who slept with Bis
marck at his headquarters This con
troversy is very interesting indeed. 1t
teaches us some valuable lessons about
human nature, but not much about the
war. After reading all the papers, we
cannot discover any marked superiority.
Cable dispatches are very expensive, and
they all manufacture more or less cable
news from the foreign mails, and when
an important piece Of news does come
throughlthey detain it at New York a.
long as possible Thus it happens thai
important news IS olteh e"J " "
days behind time in coming West OIL
South. Still, we hear from Europe some
times. and would state that small favor'
doled out by New York telegraph agents
are thankfully received, especially when
ahead Of the mails. which, however, Is
not always the case.

Mrs. YeIvertOn Lost Near Sosemtte
she Wnnders Away in the SNOW.
and IL Found la n Helpless Con-

From the Maripssa Cali Gazette. Nov. Ill
We learn that Hon Mrs. Yelverton
met with serious misfortune on Sunday
last in attempting TO leave Yosemite
Valley unattended. Mrs. Ielverton had
been spending several months at the
Valley, and on Sunday morning started
alone on horseback from Hutehing
Hotel to come out at Clark a Moore $,
expecting 10 overtake on the trail an
English party which left an hour or SO
before. Nothing more was known OF
her journey until Monday morning, when
Fred. Leibig and Hugh Dayany took the
trail to come to Mariposa. About
quarter of a mile below the Hermit
age" they noticed woman's track ~
the snow on the lower side OF trail, and
wandering away from it, and knowing
that Mrs. YelvertOn had attempted 10
pass out the day before, were satisfied
the tracks were hers, and Immediately
began to search for her. The tracks led
around among the trees, bushes, and
rocks. a circle of more than mile, and
Mrs. Yelyerton was finally found, wet,
chilled, bewildered, and exhausted,
about a quarter of mile from
where she had left the trail. She had
been out through the storm OF Sunday
night, and would probably soon have
persisted but for fortunate chance. AS
Il was showing again when she was found,
the track in the snow, which attracted
the notice of the gentlemen named
might not have been visible an hour later.
Nothing was TO be seen of her horse.
When the gentlemen had brought Mrs
Yelyerton back TO the trail, Mr.. Hutch
ings came along. also on his way 20 Mar
iposa. and she was placed upon Hutch
ings horse and taken 10 Leidigs hotel
while Hutchings went to search Tor her
horse. which was found a mile or more
This side OF the Hermitage. AT beidig
Mrs Yelyerton was at times unconscious
INIT with proper restoratiyes and the
kind care Of Mrs. Ieidig, was sufficiently
recovered to be removed towards even
inc to Hutchings', where she had been
boarding. IT is supposed Mrs. felverton
became so bewildered in the sncw.storm
Sunday afternoon that she could no
longer manage her horse, and dismount
ed and tried 10 walk, but lost her way
and wandered till lost. Considering
that she was five miles from any house
and the other circumstances detailed u
IL very fortunate that the mishap dId moi
prove worse in its consequences.
