A WILFUL, MALICIOUS, FALSE, AND
SLANDEROUs CHARGE.-The Enquirer
of this morning says: "At sundown the
STATE JOURNAL shut up shop, and little
later Grape was hung at its door," This is
a confounded, Democratic no-such-a-thing.
We never "shut up" until So'clock- k-near-
ly. three hours after sundown. s1
Some blasted Democrat stuck piece of
Grape on our door, marked "Columbian
Club, y which had doubtless been prepared
in anticipation of defeat of its party.

there's no hereafter. You, Bill Wade,

blow till you "bust' your wind-pipes we
don't mean to "shut up" until we bag the

the election, and then spend five in treat

Arabian Laughing Plant.

La Palgrave's sCentra and Eastern Ara
bla +" we are told some interesting facts con-
cernIng this singular plant, The active
prmciple appears to reside principally in its
seeds. These seeds, when powdered and
administered in full. .judicious quantities
produce effects similar to those produced
by the celebrated laughing-gas of Sir
Humphrey Davy. The person 70
whom the drug is administered laughs
sings, dances, and conducts himself in
the most extravagant and ludicrous style.
After an hour of this intense excitement he
iails asleep, and, upon awaking, is totally
unconscious of anything that he said or did
while under the influence of the drug. 1t
IS common joke to put small quantity
INTO the coffee Of some unsuspecting indivi-
dual, IN order to enjoy laugh at his antics,
and it is said that, when judiciously given.
it has never produccd.any evil consequences.
An overdose would be dangerous. The
plant which bear these berries grows only in
Arabia.
In Kaseem it hardly attains the height
OF six inches above the ground, while in
oman 1T has reached the height of three or
four feet, with widespreading limbs. The
stems are woody, and when stripped of the
bark have yellowish tinge, the leaf is of
dark green color, and pinnated, with about
twenty leaflets on either side, the stalks
are smooth and shinging; the flowers are
yellow, and grow in tufts, and the anthers
numerous. The fruit is q capsule. stuffed
with greenish pcdding, in which lie embed
ded two or three black seeds. in size and
shape much like French beans. Their taste
IS sweetish, but with peculiar opiate
navor; The smell is overpowering, and
almost sickly.

Our Republican friends in Virginia may
see from the elections in other States much
10 encourage them. The great Democratic
stronghold Of New York has tumbled, and
is but mass of ruins. In that State we
have carried the election by more than
twenty-five thousand, electing two-thirds
majority of the Legislature.
Kansas has gone with New York by a
largely increased majority, and Minnesota
also by nearly $4,000.
The great State of Wisconsin, too, sends
us greeting, and proclaims all is well.
The West, too, through Illinois, speaks
$4,000 in our favor.
New Jersey elects Democratic Cover
nor, but gives us Republican Legislature.
If this news fails to make Virginia Re-
publican rejoice way down in his boots he
is entitled to no happiness, and does not
know what joy is.
Virginia, thank God! is but part of this
great Union, and while her sectionalism
may triumph for a time, there is future to
which the lovers of the onion may look
with confiding hope. She cannot afford to
take back seat in the church OF this gov
ernment--she must march to the front, and
march she will.
Let us not despair, because of yester-
days defeat here, but rather let us throw
off the old battle SCARED garments and with
new uniform and improved arms, drill our
selves and prepare for the great national
struggle of 1872.

lOOhMONICAIED.
TO the Editor. Of the State Journal:
Tread in the newspaper accounts ofthe fire
at Chicago, a thrilling description of the des-
perate effort made by an unfortunate per-
son to escape from the fourth story of a
building in Speeds Block his egress by
the stairway being cut off by fire in the
lower story. Like some upfortunates in
the Spottswood Hotel, when that building
was burned, the window at which he ap-
peared was too high to be reached by lad
ders and after minutes of suspense, find
ing no other chance of escape, he leaped to
the ground ana was killed.
In both cases life would have been saved.
could a line haye.been thrown, by which,
having fastened it to the window frame or
any fixture, they could have lowered them
selves to the ground, the elevation being
too great for ladders to reach them.
Would not some slight modification of
known appliances, furnish certain means of
throwing cord to any person thus cut off
from escape. The coast life-saving appa-
ratus is Incomplete, and often useless,
without the rocket line, by which, thrown
from the shore to the wreck, cableies ape
is established between the vessel and the
shore.
The whaling gun projects harpoon, with
a line attached, effectually displacing the
hand-thrown harpoon.
Why not adapt some fire-arm to throw
a projectile with line attached through
any window at which persons are seen,
whose escape by the stairway is cut off by
fire in the lower story? The line thus
thrown could be used to draw up knotted
10 l.
would reach the ground in safety.
Such an apparatus should be kept in
every engine-house. Will not some me-
chanic in Richmond perfect this idea

OUR SYldPATHIEs.--We tender our
heartfelt sympathies to our defeated candi-
dates, but we do think those elected need
them most. Ours spent but little money,
and have the consolation of knowing it was
given in righteous cause, while the Demo-
crats spent more than their legitimate pay,
and will have to take the coupons Of the
State for their per diem.
They have indeed won a victory, but at a
fearless loss of time and money. Every
body else seems in better humor than the
candidates.
