ELECTION NEws.-Two elections have oc-
CURED this week. An election was held
in the First Senatorial District of Pennsylva-
MIA to fill a vacancy caused by the death Of
. Republican Senator. Decherb, Democrat
was elected over his Republican opponent by
1343. This district gave a Republican ma
jority in October of l 900; then, however,
Grants soldiers and marines had charge of
the polls. Who says the Army and Navy
are Of no account in an election?
GEORGIA ELECTION Augusta Dec. 90
The State election for Congress and mem
bers of the Legislature took place to-day.
The returns are unsatisfactory, but it is be-
heved the Democrats carry the election.

this is true, but that the Democrats will bt

ABOUT the first Of January last the officers
Of the G. P. R. R. and the Vallejo road, af
ter a decision of Judge McCune, favorable
to the latter Company, entered into an agree
ment, prior to the 9th of January, 1870, ac-
eordins to Sanderson and the Union, by
which the Vallejo road was to meet with no
opposition in "the field" to cutting and cross
ing tho c. p. R. R. track in Sacramento.
Subsequently, however, opposition was met
with in '.the field" and the Sacramento
Union made some comments not compliment
tary to the c. P. folks. Judge Sanderson
replied by card in the Union in which,
among other things he said in substance that
this agreement was entered into on the part
Of the G. p folks under the advice of him
SELF and Judge Robinson To this the
onion replied in a sort of sarcastic, Pick
wickian style, in substance, that either San
derson's card stated what Wa. not true, or
that he was the Attorney Of the Central Pa
cifc road, while vet on the Supreme Bench
as he remained Judge of that Court until
the 10th of January, 1870 To this asser-
ton Of the Union, Judge Sanderson never
replied or denied to our knowledge Last
week in copying some comments Of the E.r-
ominer's on Judge Sanderson's vile attack
on the Governor of the State, in brief in a
case where the Governor is not known to the
record before the Court, We added that
this man Sanderson was the same person
who was half convicted of being the feed A.
torney Of the G. p. r. R. Company, while
yet Judge Of the Supreme Court, as prov
ed by the Sacramento Union The types
made the word "half'' read ".elf," though
it was written "half' from the very fact that
there was sn even chance, taking Sander
ron's card and the Unions statement togeth-
er. as between Sanderson's having been both
the Judge and the Attorney of the Company
at the same time, or that bis card contained
falaehood. For this the Record threatens
us, and it would seem that this high-toned
brother editor and publisher had been actu-
ally noising around smelling out whether we
are solvent or not so that it could aid in dis
polling us Of any means we may have saved
from long years Of honest toll and frugalty
The men of the Record may be bound to dc
this unprofessonal work 80 long as in that
office, but why not leave the office and rath-
er beg for a living? The entire property Of
the monopoly would not tempt US to change
positions with the Record publishers, if such
conditions are imposed. We envy you not
your distinguished } position or your feel
ings or standing among the profession.

PRocEED.-It is probable that sew.
eral more investigating committees
will be raised in Congress-among
others, enc to inquire into profits
derived by members from voting for
railroad grants. 1t does really appear
that Congress, under Republican rule,
has become a den Of thieves. To q
disnterested person it partakes of the
ludicrous for one Republican to charge
another with dishonesty. They are
all "tarred with the same stick" The
party itself was conceived in sin, and
from the hour Of its birth it has
subsisted upon political corr upton.
