SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
cheyenne, W. T. (Sept.D Correspondence Of the
Burlington Qowa( Hawkeyel
There is great rejoicing here to-day, mingled
with wailing and gnashing of teeth" Judge
w. L. Jones, the Republican Delegate to Con-
gress, is elected by majority of 16O votes. The
Democrats carried the last election by a
majority of ! 400 votes. The ladies' very
generally availed themselves of their newly
acquired franchise. Even the fancy wO-
men here were out to man. believe 1 wrote
YOU last that two ladies' had beeu put upon the
Republican ticket, one for County Clerk, and the
other for School Superintendent. Alas for the
degeneracy of the times! they shared tho COM
mon fate of their associates. There were found
men ungallant enough to run in opposition to
them, unchivalrouH enough to accept of the VIC
tory over them. It was some consolation, how
ever, to wounded sensitveness to know that one
of the ladies ran ahead Of the other candidates
on her own ticket, and came within ten votes of
flooring her Democratic competitor. That was Mrs.
Pickett, candidate for county clerk. We suppo-
sed that as the Republicans moved upon the ell
emy, they thought they must keepthe Pickett in
advance.
The ladies', with few exceptions, were brought
to thepolls in carriages and omnibuses, deposited
their ballots and Immediately stepped in again
and were driven home. One incident Of the day
was worth relating. The oldest woman, perhaps
the Oldest person in Cheyenne, 80 years of age,
went to the polls and voted her first ballot When
she allghted from the buggy the whole crowd
surrounding the polls, Republicans and Demo.
Gratis, took off their hats, while she marched
through and deposited her vote. When she
turned to go away, three cheers were called for,
and given SO rousingly that they were heard for
several squares. She'll be likely to remember
her first ballot while she lives.
The ladies' didn't all vote one way by any
means. Undoubtedly the majority voted the
Republican ticket but quite sprinkling of them
voted with the Democrats. 1t would seem
little ungrateful not to have done 80. Both
parties had runners out with buggies, from
morning till sundown, gathering up all the ladies'
and females that could be found. OF course We
did not expect any improprieties on the part of
the ladies. And it was at least fine illustration
of that respect and reverence which the men of
America have for females, that not even a
drunken rough was heard to offer an insult.
This may have been partly owing to the fact that
both parties We're Courtin5 them. might make
some comments upon the manifest tendency OF
the thing however, in its incipiency, that does
not seem promising but forbear

A Wild steer in The streets.

HE CORES OR TuAMpIEs A DOZEN PEOPLE.
About six O'Clock Thursday evening, steer be-
longing to drove of Texas cattle, about being
driven into the pens near Second and Tatnall Sts,
broke away and commenced to run. Several
started after him, and.a crowd of boys, as usual,
commenced yelling and throwing stones at the
brute, until he was mad with rage.
He ran through Water street, Third street,
Lombard street, and out to Eleventh street
bridge, where he was headed off by load of
shot, and more infuriated than ever he charged
back through the streets of that part OF the
town, creating the widest CONSERVATION and
terror. He finally went over Third street bridge,
and we believe he is still roaming at his own
pleasure around the marshes of that side.
He attacked every person he came across in
his rush through the streets, and we are told
that he knocked down and more or less injured
about eleven people.
At Water and Market streets he knocked down
and severely hurt John Gibson, a boy of ten
years, son of John Gibson, living out Second
street.
On Water street just beyond Market he at
tackled John Boys quite an old man, a railroad
| tlagman, tossed him up into the air gored one
| of his hands and left him lying in the gutter.
At Seventh and Lombard he rushed onto the
pavement and attacked Mrs. Charles Morrow,
| living at the =. w. corner, knocking her down
and getting lis feet tangled in her clothes, the
| brute fell on her, his knees striking her breast
and his head her forehead. He was an immense

the weight Her jaw bone and two of her ribs
were broken and she was badly cut by a pitcher
she had in her hand at the time. She is in a
very precarious condition.
A little further up Lombard street lie knocked
down boy, son of John Springer. living at
412 East Sixth street, and badly cut him about
| the head and shoulders with his hoofs.
On his way back from 11th street bridge he
| knocked down a Mr.. Hammer an elderly mar
who was crossing a lot near Sd and Poplar. The
man was carried home on stretcher badly hurt
and we are told with one broken arm.
He knocked down several children and one
or two grown persons, whose names we have
not learned and several others had very narrow
escaped. Amongst the latter were Mr., Walton
of the firm of Wilson and Walton and also car
rier boy OF the COMMERCIAL who climbed fenc,

UPRIGHT TRUSTEES.

The structures of our Philadelphia correspond
ent upon the management of the National Safety
Fund, aconcern which failed in that city, some ten
years ago, strike us as being eminently just.
They suggest to us, moreover, that the reputa-
tion of Wilmington, for reliable banks and saw
ings institutions, has always been most unexcep-
tionable. We have had, here, occasional breach
es of trust by subordinate bank officers and the
scandal of their peculations has not been to the
credit of our character for honesty, but their
proceedings have been, after all, not serious.
On the whole, the character of our citizens as
upright and conscientious trustees in the bank
ing savings, insurance. and similar institutions,
stands justly high. 1t would be invidious to
name any portion of these gentlemen, without
enumerating all, and We forbear the temptation
of referring more personally to some of the ex-
cellent gentlemen who occupy the positions
referred to. Quiet and unassuming. in the per-
formance of their laborious and important duties,
they are protecting faithfully and persistently.
the trust in their hands, and guarding it from
abuse with conscientious pains that eminently
deserve this eulogy and that of the public. May
the character of the money trustees of Whining
ton be ever as high as ii is, to-day.

MORAL THOUGHTFULNESS.

To learn to put ourselves in the condition
Of others by imagining what would be our ex-
pectations and what our feelings were we in
that common justice which the laws enioin,
and to that unsel6sh morality which the Gold.
en- Rule prescribes, but it is the secret of that
considerate sympathy and refined courtesy
which invest with peculiar attractiyeness a
few superior natures. 1t is by this process
that we learn to clothe the severe form of
heroic allegiance to duty, with the graceful
robe Of unselfsh, sympathetic, and divine
charity.
DR.. Thomas Arnold was accustomed to
make much of what he called moral thought
fulness,' as the trait Of character which he
desired most of all to perfect in his pupils,
and which he defined as the inquring love
Of truth going along with the divine love Of
goodness" This moral thoughtfulness is
iostered by self-acquaintance, when prosecut-
ed with the honest purpose of self-improye-
ment. This selfknowedge makes a man TO
be Just to others, because he is severe to himself
to be modest, because he compares himself
with Others TO be candid, because he views
their merits and defects as if they were his
own to be sympathizng, because he feels
their joys and sorrows as experienced by him
self; to be courteous because he would cx-
press by word and act, by look and tone, his
acknowledgment of their rights and his SYM
pathy with their feelings to be indignant at
wrong, because, in the evil intended for an-
other, he feels blow aimed at himself.
1t leads to wider sympathy with man
than is bounded by the circle Of acquain-
tances, of country, or even Of those now liv-
ing 1t conducts the thoughts backward
along the history of the past, and forward
among the problems Of the future, 1t makes
one sad at the stories of human suffering
and buoyant in the contemplation of human
excellence in characters conspicuous for faith
fulness and heroism. From this enlarged
sympathy arise more hopeful aud tolerant
views of present evils iirmcr faith in the
promises of Providence and the prospects and
progress of man, more cautious aud candid
estimate Of the excitements and prejudices
which attend the partizan conflicts Of the pass
ing hour.
