ELECTIONS. - Elections were held OF
Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
Iowa and Nebraska. 1t was expected
before election that, in. consequence O.
the Republicans running two candidates
in some districts, there would be a loss Of

does not confirm the expectation Penn
sylvania is reported Republican by an in.
creased majority, Ohio Republican by is,
900, Indiana by 5000, and Iowa and Ne.
braska Republican as usual. In Nebras
Ba State officers were elected and the
election was very exciting. In some
places the Republican party was divided
and the Workingmens' party supported
the Democratic ticket. And at and near
Omaha the principal contest was between
the friends of Governor Saunders and
General Thayer forsU S. Senator.

WISCONSIN STATE FAIR.

Milwaukee last week and may be consid-
cred a success: In some respects the ex-
hibition was very good, andain others, it
FL is said by some, not equal to what it has
sometimes been heretofore. Some of the
time the attendance was large, reported
on one day at $4,000 The Soldiers Re
union being held at the, same time and
50 place tended to increase the numbers in
attendance. And the admission fee be-
~ ing doubled tended to increase the re
1-5 ceipts. The receipts from all
5ssI sources amounted Ytg65 to $s2,9O222
- The exact amount of expendi-
lures we have not seen but probably
amounted to about S13,00O leaving

SENATOR SUMMERS HousE,-Mr,
Sumner has probably the most elegantly
furnished house in Washington, facing
Lafayette square, and backed up by that
excellent hotel, the Arlington, Paintings,
statuary, engravings, books, and bric-a-
brdc abound above and below, and, if the
Senator keeps on, his collection will rival
that at the Hotel de Clupy. Then there
is achoice collection of autographs, which
contains many specimens not to be found
elsewhere on this continent. 1t is espec-
tally rich in the autographs Of sovereigns
and Of statesmen, bu: its gems are fine
specimens Of John Milton and of Dryden.
1t is a desire to have funds for the pur-
chase of such objects of art that has sent
Mr. Sumner on peregrination through
the West Of late, lecturing every week
day night, and passing most Of the days
on the rail. When athome, no Que there
is more hospitable, or has better cook
than the Massachusetts statesman.

Hon. JOHN p. HALE.-Remembering
the earnest and successful labors of the
Hon. Johu p. Hale, in the early days
of the anti-slavery cause, we can but
read with sadness the following, from n.
II. Patriot, relative to this early cham
pion of human freedom:
"Hon. John P. HALE may be seen
upon the streets of Dover any fair day,
walking slowly and painfully with the
aid Of cane. His whole right side is
paralysed, but not completely. In walk
ing he drags his right foot, the difficulty
seeming to be mainly in and below the
ankle. In opening door he is obliged
to use his left hand, changing his cane to
the right. Intellectually Mr.. Hale is
vigorous, bnt thinks he is somewhat i'm
pared in memory. The rotund, rosy
man of yore is no more, for Mr.. Hale is
but the ghost Of his former self. His
hair is we'll silvered, and, altogether, no
former acquaintance would recognize
the man, without some clue to his iden-
tity other than that presented by his ap-
pearance."

Senator Nc Creary of Kentucky is

anxious to return all confiscated proper
ty lost by rebels during the war, and of
course wants more or less of the taxes,
paid by the people, used for that pur-
pose, and the other day offered resolu-
ton looking in this directi~n. Senator
Edmunds of this State promptly object
ed and the resolution was laid over. We
trust the day is still far distant when the
peoples money is to be used to pay rebel
losses and thus virtually offer and pay
premium for rebellion.

TIE MAYORS VETO.

The Mayor yesterday returned to Common
Council with his veto the bill making appro-
priations for the Fire Department for the
present year, giving number of excellent
reasons for Withholding his assent to it. The
Mayor admits that there are great deficiencies
in the present system of extinguishing fires,
and, without going into the consideration of
the expediency or propriety Of Paid Depart
ment he contends that by withholding the
accustomed appropriations from certain hose
companies Councils have not taken the proper
method for remedying the existing evils. The
Mayors reasoning on this point is certainly
based upon substantial facts, and it is entitled
to the candid consideration of Councils. He
states that by the Act of Consolidation the
city is given full authority over the Fire De-
partment, and that if the fremen indulge in
riotous and disorderly conduct the city gov
ernment has ample power to punish them by
suspension from duty or disbandment, and
it is to a mistaken leniency on this point that
the Mayor attributes most of the evils
of the present system. He is also of
the opinion that the present method
of electingthe engineers-who, though elected
by the firemen, are the citys officers, and
paid by the city-is o source Of difficulty, and
that o change in this matter would pro-
badly be beneficial to the departments and
he recommends that if the ordinances now in
force are not sufficient to enable the imme-
diate suspension or dismissal from service of
any company attached to the department, or
its officers, new authority may be obtained by
additional legislation.
The Mayor concurs with Councils in the
belief that the department is unnecessarily
large, and that the city's expenditures for the
present year should not exceed the gross sum
appropriated, but he thinks that the hose
companies have their undoubted usefulness,
and even if they were useless that the with
holding of the appropriations is not the proper
way to abolish them. The Mayor says truly
that the withholding an appropriation does
not necessarily lead to the disbandmeat of
the companies omitted, and probably will not
have such an effect yet it will have bad
effect on them if left in the service and it
would be far better to put them out of service
directly than to leave them as inferior to other
companies, without the continuance and
recognition which the annual appropriation
gave them.
The Withholding of the appropriation from
the hose companies was halfway measure,
and like all halfway measures it satisfied
nobody. That there are evils to be cor
rected in the Fire Department every one
knows and Councils will merit the thanks of
all classes of our citizens if they will make a
genuine effort to bring about the needed re-
forms.

LIGHT AHEAD

A RECENT number of O weekly sensation
story" paper declined tale because it is too
bloody, and assures the author that an ave-
rage of half dozen victims killed to the page
is too much, even if the appropriate number
of ''yells" could be omitted.
Is this the first glimmering hope that new
era of literature is approaching? Have we
indeed touched bottom-has the very deepest
deep been reached?
In the genuine popular story of the present
day, effect, and not means, seems to be the
principle of construction. The Imagination
of Monk Lewis, or even that of Mrs. Rad
oliffe, would be utterly incapable of concoct-
ing such abodge-podge of adventure, for even
their utmost extravagancies were governed
by at least semblance of logic, and they
never reached that species of plot into which
everything and anything can be crammed, be-
cause the plot itself could never by any pos
sbility have been realized in fact.
Playwrights and talewrights should know
from experience that tho feelings are not
really affected by mere events or spectacles.
1t is the portrayal of feeling alone that excites
the responsive chord: the cry of broken
heart brings the tear, genuine fun produces
the genial laugh, while an audience well
trained to horrors forgets the man tied on
the railroad track, and criticizes the perfec-
ton of the engine, in the noble confidence
that the victim will be saved either by an old
man, young girl, or lunatic. We are all
certain that the man that was hung wasn't,
and that the drowned girl will appear in
pretty new frock in the last act; and it is
therefore impossible to be as touched or
terrified as we ought to be.
There is an additional reason for hope in
the fact that all the stock incidents seem to
be pretty well exhausted, and we have re-
Gently been served only with old viands
cooked up again, with new spices to suit
modern paates. Victor Hugo, the very
master of the craft, may, however, have given
new impetus to the worn-out school by pro-
ducing new monstrosity in his recent out
rageous invention; but even slashed faces
cannot last long, and we may still hope that
art will return to its true channels.
