MISCELLANEOUS

WHEELING Va, Oct. 29.-Complete returns from
twenty counties embracing two thirds of the State,
show large Democratic gains; enough to warrant the
announcement that the State has been carried by the
Democrats by small majority of 1900. The Repub
leans concede defeat. The Democrats elect two
Congressman and one Senator in the Sd district. By
large gains they will be able to control the Legislature
which elects a successor to Wiley. The interior
counties have not been heard from for several days

cause there was no food. The Prussans opened fire,
but the people still advanced. When they came within
range, the man and woman still leading and moving
more rapidly than the rest, the man fell, struck by
bullet. The woman, moving her white flag continued
to advance. The Prussan fire continued, when the
woman fell with the flag. The crowd wavered for
moment and then fled, the Prussian fire constantly
getting hotter The French troops advancing, closed
around the flying citizens, when terrible fusade fol-

We very much wish that the ukewaTm of the Dem
ocratic party could listen the speeches made by the
Radical speakers to the freedmen. They tell them that
better for them that corrupt Radicals should be in
power than Democrats, who would legislate against
them. The bulwhip and stripes are among the
strong features of their oratory. They artu!y stir up
all the passions of the negroes to array them against
genteel white men and white ladies, and responded
to by the audience with yes and shouts of applause.
There is an under current of incendiarsm ri ming
through their speeches which bodies no good to the
future friendly relation of the two races And yet
there be men among who protest aganstthe denun-
citation of these carpetbag politicians, for fear for
sootb, of wounding their delicate sensbilities.

We doubt if the voters of this parish have any con-
ception of the amount of money squandered, or, we
might more properly say, "invested," by Harmoth
and Sheridan, in their raid through the State We
certainly have not and only say that it was enor
nous, from what occurred here The hotel and wine
bills for three days about $780, and they actually
paid the band of Robinsons Circus $1,000 for nall
days poor performance. We doubt if $4,000 would
cover all the expenses in this place alone. But what
difference does it make to them? If successful, this
investment will be repaid twenty, aye thousand
fold from the pockets of the people. Let those tax
payers who, from an excess of wisdom can see no
difference in the two parties reflect upon this What
can they expect from the administration of Governor
who squandered in three days in one town years
salarys We warn them, but would remark that there
is no greater fool top of the earth than he who is
overwise in his own conceit.
