THRaOPULAR TIDE.

The day after the recent election In
Kentucky the Radical press Of the
country uttered q perfect chorus Of
csckle over the stupendous gains they
supposed they had made. The Cincin.
natl Gazette nominated General HARLAN
for the Vice Presidency in short order,
and the Pittsburgh Commercial classed
Kentucky as one of the doubtful"
States in the Presidential election next
year. Later and fuller returns have Sc
riously dampened the ardor Of these'pre-
mature shoutera, and as the truth that
the Democrats have actually made
serious inroads upon the Radical camp
and gained many accessions from the
little band OF GRANTS followers in Ken
lucky has gradually dawned upon
them, their vissges are elongated and
the grin Of jubilation is turned
into scowl of disappointment And
now come accusations Of fraud. The
Cincinnati papers have discovered
that thousands Of Democrats voted
without possessing the necessary quail
fications, and that the whole thing is q
humbug and swindle. II don't seem
to have occurred to these men that the
popular tide is setting strongly against
GRANT and the whole Republican party
and that all the indications OF popular
sentiment that have been observed dur
ing the past two years point the same
way. The Republicans have steadily
lost at every election since 1865, and
Just now, the probabilities seem very
strong that they will be swept from
power in 1872. Allegations OF fraud
will not serve to hide the fact that the
people are forsaking the fortunes OF
Rsdicalism and looking 10 Democracy
for a better and purer administration OF
governmental affairs than has been had
during the past ten years.

The Radicals say that all the people
of West Virginia were at liberty to vote
upon the Constitution in 1862, and that
it was the fault Of the people themselves
that only 1900 out of 10000 voted
upon that occasion. The liberty they
enjoyed was much like that which the
French army had when voting for the
first NAPOLEON as Consul. They were
ostentatiously assured Of perfect free
dom in expressing their choice, and
privately assured that all who voted
against him would be Immediately shot
OF course, they could do just as they
pleased.

The Elk River Railroad.

Major A. H. Campbell of the Eli
river railroad survey, was in Charleston
last week. He reported the survey IL
successful progress, his party having
reached Sutton, in Braxton county
The appropriation of four thousand
dollars made by the Legislature toward
this survey having been exhausted, the
Board of Public Works determined to
consult the counties chiefly interested
with view to ascertaining their senti'
ments with regard to making contribu,
tons to complete the survey. The
Board of Supervisors Of Kanawha
county being in session last Wednesday,
application was first made to them.
Auditor Bennett and Treasurer Burdett
appeared before them, presented the
importance of the work to the State
and especially to the people Of IA
nawha, and suggested the propriety Of
a liberal appropriation toward finishing
the survey. Messrs. L. A. Martin, H.
C. McWhorter and J. w. Cracra't also
addressed the Board upon the subject
and warmly advocated the appropria'
ton OF one thousand dollars for the
purpose indicated. The Board then
decided by vote of six to three to sp'
propriate that sum toward finishing the
survey.
Kanawba having led off in this mat
ter, it remains for the other counties
along the lineto determine whether they
will follow. Lewis, Harrison, Marion
and Monongalia, through all which
counties this road will pass are deeply
interested. They complained Of Ka'
nawha's unavoidable failure to be repre-
scented at the Clarksburg railroad meet
ing. She has shown her disposition to
do her duty. Let them do theirs and
the survey will be completed and after
it the road to the Pennsylvania line.
About five thousand dollars are needed
to complete the survey. Of this Ka
nawha has subscribed her proportion,
one-fith. Let the other counties do as
well and we will secure this road

Anecdotes Of Bismark are now in
order. One Of the latest tells how he

medal among his orders. In the sum

was but twenty-seven years old and on
duty as a cavalry officer, he was stand.
ing with other officers on bridge
near lake, when his groom, Hilder-
brand, the son Of the forester on his
estate, rode a horse for a bath in the
lake close by the bridge. Suddenly the
horse lost his footing. and Hilderbrand
disappeared in the water. Bismark
threw off his sword in an instant tore
off his uniform, and dashed headlonc
into the lake to save his servant. He
siezed him, but the drowning man chung
to him 30 fast that he had to dive be-
fore he could free himself. Bubbles
rose over the spot, and master and
servant were given up by the spectators
as lost; but the powerful swimmer had
succeeded in releasing himself, and he
arose to the surface bearing up with
him and bringing to land bis inanimate
burden. The rescued man, however,
shortly recovered, and for the brave
action Bismark obtained q simple
medallion-the well known Prussian
safety medal-which may occasionally
be seen beside the many stars on his
breast. He is proud Of this mark Of

The old soldiers OF the war Of 1872
are required to prove their loyalty" be-
fore they can avail themselves Of the
provisions of the recent peusion act.
When it is remembered that "loyaity"
means simply devotion to the interests
OF the Radical party, the petty mean
ness of the condition may be appre,
ciated. No matter what services the
old veteran may have rendered, no mat.
ter how he may have suffered in the war
with a foreign foe, he must subscribe to
the opinion that "the colored troops
fought nobly," that the Radical party
is always right, and that GRANT is the
only man fit to be President Of the
United States, or he can get no pension.
Isn't this "the best government the

The Radicals in this State having as
certained by experience what conve-
nient Constitution we have and how
easily they were enabled under its pro-
visions to stife the popular voice and
outrage the popular will, are exceeding
ly anxious to preserve the old instru
ment intact. They hope to get into
power again at some time, and then
won't they make West Virginia howl?
The best plan is for the people now to
smash the machine that has been the
ready instrument of despotism and then
if they ever want to try again the beau
ties Of Radical administration, they
can do so with less danger than now.

The Prescott (Arizonal Miner,

the Indians who lately murdered
three whites, encamped on the night
of the 9th about forty miles east of
Prescott. During the night about
$50 crept within a few yards of camp
under cover of rocks. At 3 n. m. the
soldiers were aroused by n volley of
bullets and arrows The fire was
returned by the sentinels and then
by the whole command. The SOL
diers sought sheltered positions and
fired upon the savages at every OPP
p%ortunity: the fire was returned, but
Intellectually, with the exception
of killing a few horses. At day.
light the savages left, and
from the bloody appearance of the
ground occupied b them, the wound
ed must have been considerable.
Surgeon Steigers was shot in the left
shoulder which necessitated the am
putation Of his arm. Private Mey-
ers received n painful wound in the
neck.
LATER.-Captains Hawley and
Manaban overlook the Indians and
had a sever fight, lasting two hours.

General FORESTS Road.

The untiring energy displayed by Gen
eral Forrest in his efforts to build the
Selma, Marion and Memphis railroad
deserves the highest praise and the most
substantial Endorsement. General For
rest is most anxious to make Memphis
a terminus of this road; in fact to make
the road a Memphis institution, over
which the vast agricultural wealth, dis
tributed along the line of the road from
Memphis to Selma, will pour into the
Bluff City The planters living within
reach of this line Of road are anxious to
send their cotton to the Memphis markets
instead of to New Orleans and Mobile.
We know it is their interest to sell cot
ton and buy supplies in our city, as it is
the interest of our citizens to secure
that trade. The material aid offered by
our County Court will go far to make
the Selma railroad successful, and will
insure its early completion. When Mem
phis becomes great railroad center,
manufactures will spring up like magic
and capital will be brought here in search
of investment. Then will Memphis stride
forward on her career of prosperity and
become the Queen City of the Mississippi
Valley, position to which she is emit
tied by her location, enterprise and
wealth. The great aim of Memphis
should be to secure net work of rail
roads extending out in every direction,
and the completion Of General Forests
road will be one grand link in the great
chain of roads which will eventually pay
tribute to our Bluff City and make her
great and prosperous far beyond the
dream of her enthusiastic founders and
her most ardent admirers.

German peace Celebration.

This evening our German fellow-citi-
zens intend celebrating by torchlight
procession, speeches, etc., the consoli-
dation of the German States into vast
empire, and the conclusion of peace
between France and Germany. The
Germans in this country have cause to
rejoice. The ambition Of King William
and Bismarck has succeeded at last in
uniting Germany as an empire. Ger
many is great nation Of warriors,
She succeeded in whipping Denmark,
Austria and France, and is to-day the
leading military power of Europe. The
conclusion of peace, which is not far
distant, is good cause for rejoicing
because, during the fierce contest Ger
many lost thousands Of her best and
bravest sons, victims to the ambition Of
King William and Napoleon. The dead
soldiers are forgotten in the midst of
celebrations. One single patriotic sol
der who fought and died is worth a
dozen gilded kings and emperors. The
French have no cause to rejsice, for
peace brings to them humiliation, spoila-
ton and the dismemberment of their
fair land Nevertheless, our German
have cause to celebrate
peace, for it adds to the military renown
of Fatherland, and leaves Germany
united and great.
