THE ELECTION RETURNs-A HAPPY PEoPLE--A
GREAT FAIR. -'-tiit H-. ~

ST. LOUIS Oct. g. 1872.
1t is hard work to sit down quietly to write a
letter, in the midst of all the joy and excite
ment over the election news, but it would be
great deal harder if we hadn't the good news
to be excited over. Last night the streets in
the vicinity of the newspaper offices were pack
ed with men of all ages and colors, the Repub-
licans confident, the Democrats over confident.
As despatch after despatch was read from the
Office balcony of the leading Republican paper
the crowd cheered until it seemed as though
their Threats would burst, and soon to add fuel
to the flame, Senator Wilson, our next Vice
President, appeared on the scene OF course.
after the usual Misunderstanding was got through
with, speech was clamored for, and he made
brief and most excellent one. Meanwhile, at
the offices of the Democratic papers they turn
ed out the lights ard went home. The windows
OF b. Gratz Browns room at the Planters.
were darkened, and it is supposed he wrapped
the drapery of his couch about him and sssat
down on rotten apple" He will have to get
all the comfort he can in the future out of that
exercise, which proves so exhilaratins to him.
for there seems to be nothing else left him. To-
night there is a monster mass meeting at the
Sangerfest building, which is our Coliseum, adj
dressed by Mr.. Wilson. The cityis Illuminated
and "all goes merry as a marriage bell" The
fact is we are too happy here just now to do
anything but celebrate. Men meet and shake
hands i'll congratulation as they did over VIC
tory in war times pJ rs -5T ---T
Even our great Fair of ten days duration.
which is in progress now, fades into very sec |
ondary place in our thoughts. 1t is magnifi-
cent show though, as the thousands of people
from all parts of the United States and Canada |
that have come to see it and contribute to its |
wonders, can testify. All the departments |
scientific, mechanical the fine arts and agri,
culture, ara so well filed that it seems as though
there could be nothing better. The stock is SO
superb that one could never look at it enough.
There is string of Norman horses, ranging in
size from stallion that weighs over 1000
pounds down to a yearling colt of the fairy
ike proportions of 1900. They are all as hand

In NOTICING that the Bank of England
has advanced its late of discount to six per
cent. without having any effect upon Ameri-
can securities, the New York Herald says
that this fact proves that the credit of this
country is firmly established, that we are be-
coming independent of foreign control and
that capitalists abroad begin to understand
the boundless resources and wonderful future
of the United States. The Herald thinks
that this great institution is losing the vast
influence it has exercised so long over the fl
nancial affairs of the world. Another pur-
pose of this Bank in raising its rates, is to
check the large and steady transfer of British
capital to the United States, which finds a
ready opportunity for profitable investment
in this country, F. t....r ...F ... ...-... .

AT the recent Convention of the Young
Mems Christian Associations, in discussing
the question of warfare upon the flood of
cheap, nasty and pernicious literature which
beset the young men at every hand, one mem
Der urged that the Associations publish and
sell good reading so as to be sold at SO cheap
rates as to drive the detestable from the mar
ket As one of the means to make war upon
worthless and bad literature, hardly any other
could be as effective. When the general pub
lie taste, that is now somewhat depraved, is
little restored, the opportunity to purchase
healthy and vigorous works of literature will
go long way towards oyerthrowing the evil.
The law can be made to apply to those who
outrage decency, but unfortunately there is
no law for the sickly sentimental and the
cheap and nasty. These have got to be fought
with weapons like those recommended by the
delegate at Winthrop. Doubtless the gentle
man and his friends might choose somewhat
different authors to compete with this strong
foe, but we are confident that all good judges
both of literature and ethics would agree that
a cheap and simple edition of the works of
Charles Dickens would best fill all the re-
qulrements in both directions, and displace
the trashy books and papers that constitute
SO large part of the general reading matter
of our people.

THERE are such thick-and-thin advocates
of States rights in this country that we shall
not be surprised to see the act of President
Grant'in appointing another Thanksgiving
alter the precedent of Abraham Lincoln, sug-
matized as a sure proof of the tendency OF
of the Administration toward Capitalization
and monarchy. That new advocate Of State
rights, the Tribune. should not fail to note
this fact, but it may be stated thato Pres
idents in time of national calamity have ap-
pointed days of fasting of which President
Taylor is an instance. Now that we are just
closing year of unusual national prosperity
and in the certainty of the continuance Of
good government for the next four years, the
intelligence Of the country will recognize the
fitness of the Presidents act -f. .. .

WE have seen the prospectus of a new
weekly paper soon to be established in this
city, to be called The State No names are
given of parties concerned in its publication
or editorial management, but several good
names are given of prospective contributors.
If we may credit the prospectus the new heb
domadal will be about the high tonedest pro
duction known in modern journalism. IT
says, evidently forgetting the Leader, that it
comes to inject a manifest want: An indie
pendent public journal. thoroughly devoted to
the peoples interest" 1t says that it pro-
poses to be an ''organ of The People"-with

redundant promises, will be very Hyperion

published in Maine are in deadly hostility 70

little of bounce. We shall wait with mucb
nervous palpitation the appearance of this in
efably, serenely, grandly magnificent strang-
er, and shall struggle with might and main
against being entirely crushed.
We are glad to greet the venture and wish
1t success, but in all kindness suggest that a

In st. Louis, the Irish-Americans, who fur
nish seven-elevenths of the Democratic vote,
rebel at the action of the Democratic leaders
In that county because they have been as
good as ignored in the party nominations.
The Western Celt puts the case thus: In the
Democratic nominations 1000 American vot-
ers get Offices worth S56,5OO, or S2S.25 per
vote; 1000 German voters get offices worth
$4,000, or So per vote; 1000 Irish voters get
offices worth $1,000, or $1.03 vote; less,
cries the Cell, than they pay at making rail-
roads. Dan O'Madigan, an Irish-American,
who edits the CeH, who has heretofore fol-
lowed the fortunes of the Democracy, takes
issue on this matter, and as the Republicans
have put two Irish-Americans on their ticket,
warmly espouses the cause of that party. He
says the Democratic politicians say: mo
Irish need apply" aa4 i53 la

FRANTIC with the revelations of the late
elections that no Republicans will support
him, Mr.. Greeley attempts toconsolidate about
him the most ultra elements of the rebel
Democracy by his latest declaration that "first
of all questions is the emancipation of all the
white men of the country so that they shall
enjoy equal rights with the black" That is,
he demands that Mr.. JEFF Davis and his two
hundred unrepentant associates shall be rein
stated with all their former rights. This
doubtless pleases Mr. Davis and tho aditop of

A Pool IN CoAL.-The Philadelphia Press
reports that there is m ovement on foot among
the operators of Pennsylvania coal mines for
the formation of pool to control the coal
trade for the coming season. The Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company, controll-
ing half the production of Schuylkill county, is
disposed to take the lead; and the scheme, if
successful would probably eventuate in placing
the entire business in the hands of this single
concern. The formation of such gigantic
monopoly as this would be, is not thing for
consumers to contemplate with complacency,
nor can we believe that it is possible. The OBJ
ject in view is said to be to get rid of the mid
dlemen and commission agents, whose exorbi-
tant charges bid fair to ruin some of the oper-
ators. While there are too many conflicting
interests to make such combination as that
indicated probable, it may yet be hoped that
the class of men, who, without the investment
Of either labor or capital have fattened on the
coal trade, may be finally and effectually done
away with
