The Late Elections.

The result of the elections may be
briefly summed up thus:
New YoRK-Republicans elect their
State ticket by about 1900 and a ma
joritv in both branches of the Legis-
lature.
NEW JERsEY.-Parker, Democrat,
elected Governor by about 5000 ma
jority Legislature Republican.
MAssACHUsETTs-R e pub | i an as
usual
MINNEsoTA.--Repub ell e t
Governor by about 5000 and Legisla-
ture.
Observation-Disclosures by dimin-
ished majority, and Legislature Re-
publican. Hfa- 7a
MARYLAND.-Demo carry the
State by 10000 majority and elect ma
jority in Legislature. i
VIRGINIA. - Democratic, or fscon-
seryative," 10000 majority.
WIscoNsIN-Republicans elect Gov
ernor by about 5000, and majority in
both branches of Legislature.
KANSAS is, as usual, Republican.
On the whole, the result is not un-
favorable or discouragipg to the De-
mocracy. We have lost nothing ex-
cept in New York, which is caused by
q split growing out of the thieving
of the TammaDy leaders. Tho loss is
bnt temporary. The State is Demo-
cratic, and the fact will be demonstra-
ted in the coming Presidential contest.

ARA of Robbers.

The Hartford, (Conn.l Courier main
tains that the Democrats. as aruie, are
a pack of rogues, who deserve the
State prison at least. We are assured
moreover. that &c Democrats, many of
them, are human beings TO great de-
gree; that they deserve hanging, and
imprisonment, and missionary effort,
and tracts, and soup and soap in many
cases." The Times makes response as
follows:
We do not propose 10 argue the
question. We leave this interesting
assertion as it stands, coming directly
from the pen of The Gentleman in
Politics. In the light of the daily rev.
Citations of dishonesty in the govern
ment service-a rule of robbers which
has now made an aggregate of over
twenty millions. all of which must be
made up by taxation upon every State
lin the radiance OF such shining
lights as the Buffers, of Massachusetts,
Tennessee and Nebraska, the Stokeses,
the Bowens and the Whittemores, and
the Baileys and the Callicotts and the
Hodges, we shall not retort by saying
that the Republicans, as class, are
thieves and scoundrels, deserving of
missionary effort and soap Qhough it
would take more soap than all that has
been uscd to wash the regulations OF
radical high officials who have fallen
into trouble, to clear away the odium
which clings to that party on account
of this gigantic, unceasing and unpar-
alleled rule of official robberies.) But
what shall be thought of party who
seek. to hide and slide over these glar-
ing crimes of their own household
and to cover them up in a prepared
smoke and cry about democratic mall
feasance in Office, based on the discov-
cry of a single city-not the whole
country, mark you i-where Democrats
have been wrong doers, and been ex-
posed, too, in that one city, by MEM
bers of their own party! illustrates
the difference in the comparative hon.
esty of Republican and Democratic
+" leaders" very well.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1871-11-16

AT recent Cabinet meeting the
President is reported to have said that
he was determined to protect the
lives and property of citizens of the
South, and hoped the authorities in
the different Southern States would
be able to carry out the duties devolv-
ing upon them without Federal inter-
ference. If, however, they could not
repress the acts of violence SO fire.
.quently repeated of late, he should
not hesitate to avail himself of every
privilege conferred by Congressional
enactments. f"t
The protection which His Royal
Highness would give to the people of
the South is the same that the tiger
would give to the lamb. as is evidenc-
ed by his sending Federal bayonet
among them to awe them into slay-
ish submission to the negroes and car
pet baggers who are tyrannizing over
them and robbing them of their sub
stance. The hope expressed that the
authorities in the different Southern
States would be able to carry out the
duties devolving on them without
Federal interference is mere hypocrit-
ical cant. This despot does not wait
TO ascertain whether the State author
tiles ae able to enforce the laws and
protect the lives and property of the
people or nots before he avails him
self of every privilege conferred by
Congressional enactments, by declar-
ing martial law, suspending the writ
habeas corpus and subjecting the peo-
pie to the arbitrary and despotic rule
of the bayonet, in State where Radi-
ealism has supreme control, and where
there is neither foreign invasion nor
domestic insurrection to warrant the
high handed outrage, and without
being called upon by the authorizes of
the State to interfere. And this is the
glorious Republican form of govern
ment" guaranteed to the several States
under the rule of Radicalism.

A TERRIBLE RAILROAD DISASTER
A St. Louis telegram of the 10th, say S !:
AS passenger train on the North
Missouri Railroad. which left here
this morning, having two cars con-
tanning ninety-five recruits from New
Albany attached, was approaching
Wellsville, ninety miles north of here.
about noon, and running down grade
at high speed, rail broke, and the
from the track aud rolled down an
embankment, turning two or three
times.
The latest accounts state that sixteen
soldiers have been killed outright, or
died of wounds. Edward g. Colviu,

of this city, was also killed.

MURDER IN THE SUMMIT COUNTY IN
FIRMARY.-An extra issued from the
Office of the Akron City Times on
Thursday last, gives the following
particulars of a horrible murder re-
Gently committed in the Infirmary of
Summit County:
Among the inmates of the institu-
ton was woman named Laura Lyon,
who had been insane for eight years,
was idiotic and pronounced incurable.
From habit of sitting long in one
position her limbs had become almost
rigid, and she sat for years in a drawn
up position that was dreadful to look
upon. She was considered harmless,
and although living in cell her door
was not locked and she had sat upon
the floor for years, not offering to
move. In cell near her was q woman
of altogether different character, and
her Insanity was of a different type.
Ellen Boyd is an Irishwoman who had
been confined for years, and although
raviRg at times, she was at intervals
quite mild, and was allowed to leave
her cell once fortnight to do her
washing. This she did On Tuesday,
Oct. 30, and she was seen soon after
laughing quite heartily as she bent
over her tub. Mr.. Glines, the Super
intendent, entered the room at about
this time, and discovered Laura Lyons,
weltering in blood upon the floor
while her murderess stood at the tub,
laughing in frenzy as she washed
blood from an axe with which she had
chopped her inoffensive victim TO
pieces. 1t is supposed the woman
Boyd had, while washing, taken the
axe to the cell of the other, and there
butchered her.
Ellen was at once confined in her
cell, and strange to say, her victim was
found to be still alive, although un-
conscious. She fingered along until
the 7th inst, when her beclouded spirit
took its flight.
For some unaccountable reason, the
whole affair was kept very quiet by
the officials, and they undoubtedly had
some object in concealing it which is
not now apparent.

radical Rule and Ruin of a state.

The exposure of the fraudulent over
issue of bonds, to the amount of $780,
465,58l, by the Radical officials of
South Carolina, furnishes another IL
lustration of the vilIainies of the rule
of the men who have bankrupted that
once prosperous State. The State of
ficers, apprehending that they were
not safe from the justice which would
be visited upon them, even in the
State where they have of late years
exersised absolute power, are nearly
all in the city of New York, where
they remain, trembling with fear at
the possible consequences of theirstu-
pendons frauds, and ready to take
refuge IN foreign lands, should the
danger of their arrest become immi-
nent. Is it strange that q wronged
and Impoverished people should en-
deavor to obtain relief from such a
government, through means that men
always seize to throw off an intolera-
BILE tyranny? Are not Ku Klux organ
izations the natural and necessary out
growth of a corrupted government
that is sustained by force? Men are
turbulent and violent when they can
redress their grievances in no other
way. Throughout large portion of
the South the negro element is nu-
merically in the majority, and, being
cajoled, corrupted and Office bribed by,
a few of the political adventurers who
have buried in debt the states that
have fallen under their rule, they Lave
established despotism of ignorance
and dishonesty that slaves themselves
would rebel against. A reform in
such condition OF things must come
in some way, or such states as South
Carolina and Louisiana must be aban-
doned to the banditti and their igno-
rant followers.-EG. 1...
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1871-11-16

The President having taken posses
sion of Soulh5 Carolina, deposed the
local authorities, suspended the habeas
corpus, abolished trial by jury, quar-
tered his dragons on defenceless .citi-
zens, filled the jails with American
freemen by arrests without warrant,
issues his proclamation for q general
thanksgiving, and informs us that the
process of the season has enabled the
husbandman to garner the fruits. of
successful toil,1 and that '' we are at
peace with all nations, and tranquility,
sottb fe,c exceptions, prevails at home" "
