From the Troy Press, (Dem.)
The returns from Vermont are
not all that we could wish, but as VIC had
little hopes from that Radical stronghold,
we are not greatly disappointed.
From the Troy Times.
The issue is such that the Republicans
of Vermont can survey with satisfaction,
and it will carry gladuess to the Repub-
licans in any other state. 1t shows that
the claims oi the Liberals were false, or
that their boosted strength has failed. II
they claimed more than they had, it is
doubtless true that they are doing the
same in other states. Ii their claims
were well founded and their strength has
shrunk, it proves what has been recently
reported, that the Greeley sentiment is on
the wane 10 the country. The election,
like all the rest, is evidence that tho Re-
publicaus will hold all the ground they
had in 1868 The omens are still 10 ia
vor Of the triumph Of the Republican
party and the complete vndication OF its
policy, and Of its maligned statesmen.
That is just what Vermont says.
A MATRIcrpE HANoED.-Bufalo, Sept.
6 AT uoon to-day Patrick Morrlssey
cxpatcd the unnatural crime of matli;ide
on the gallows in the jail yard. The ex-
ecution was conducted with the utmost
decorum and privacy. Not more than
fifty persons were present. The scaffold
was erected in the east wing Of the en-
closure, aud was covered with an awning
to prevent persons from witnessing the
execution from the surrounding housetops
Morrissey while in Jail under sentence
conducted himself in the most exemplary
manner. He was engaged in devotions
with his spiritual advisers and Sisters OF
Charity until l o'clock this morning, when
he retired to bis cot and slept soundly un-
I'll morning. He partook Of hearty
breakfast and was engaged in religious
exercises until his three sisters and BROTH
erin law came to take a last farewell.
The scene was most affecting and heart
rending. The sheriff firmly and very
properly excluded from his presence all
persons save those he desired to SEQ. At
1l.l5 this morning, in company with a
Deputy Sheriff, Morrissey paced around
the corridors Of the Jail, bidding farewell
to the prisoners in confinement. When
opposite tho cell of John Gaffney, also
sentenced to be hanged on the 9th inst
both tue doomed men broke out 10 loud
sobbiug.

Political History Repeating Itself

Political History Repeating Itself
No wonder the Grant Republicans are so
anxious to keep up the war agitation of the past.
Theirs is war candidate they cannot succeed
with any other. With Statesman Grant they
would have neither political capital nor political
hope. Grant was elected in 1868 on the war
wave, though it was rehuent one, and his fol
lowers expect to exc out the war enthusiasm OF
that year through this campaign. All think
ing men agreed that this constant burning of
guupoWder and sounding war-cries is out of
season. But the Grant managers blow and
fume still at the bellows, praying that the old
Juror may only last through November. They
are endeavoring to make history repeat ITSELF
AS Grams was elected in 1868, at the close of
great civil warmly not now?
History is repeating itself. La l64S General
Taylor was elected President at the end OF
successful war with Mexico. The Republic had
res0unded with war cries, from one end Of it to
the other; the public appetite for news and eX-
elements had been fed on war bulletins. So
it was comparatively easy for Taylor to defeat
Glass; with the pulse OF the nation just subsi-
ding from its fever heat. This movement was
SO successful, the experiment was repeated at
the very next Presidential election and Gen.
Scott-another hero of the Mexican war-was
nominated by the party in power. 1t would
not do. The country had had enough of war
IN the Rough ana heady campaign OF 1913,
and the civilian candidate. Franklin Pierce, was
elected. Bat then, as now, the worshippers of
military titles and power thought their candi-
date and policy impregnable and Heaven n-
spired Then, as now, the friends of the mill
tary candidate thought they had nursed the
military spirit of the nation long enough to last
through SECOND campaign; it was hazard
Gus experiment. but then, as now, the manag
ers were Sanguine and confident to the very Ia st
degree Then, as now, they had been sure of
an October victory, up TO the hour Of defeat.
They thought that the Hero of Chippewa and
Chapultepec would scarcely leave State to
his civilian competitor in November. Every
body now knows how cruel was the disappoint-
ment; everybody nov sees how fatal the error
in nominating man whose chief recotnmenda,
ton was his military fame and achievements.
This was in 1852. But how faithfully those
events are repeated thus far in 1872 Here we
have the same vain hero worship, powder
burning, war crying and bird Of freedom bust
ness over again. We have again the nation
weary Of war; we have the old war enthusiasm
run out; and we have the same old over con
fdent military spirit still abroad in the land,
swinging its cap and swearing that it cannot be
beaten. The parallel is complete.

n1sRoLIsM IN RALEIGH, N. C.
The Sentinel Office Blown to Atoms-Awful
Explosion.

"
Explosion.
We take from the Raleigh NeUS the follow
ing particulars of the blowing up the Sentinet
Office in that city, briet account OF which we
had by telegraph: -
The CITY of Raleigh was alarmed about l
O'clock this morning by terrible explosion,
which shook nearly every building IN the CITY.
Soon the alarm of fire was given, and 1t was
soon ascertained that the noise proceeded from
the office of the Raleigh Sentinel. The tiremen
were promptly on the spot, as the Se'atanet Of
fee adioined the engine house. Upon examlna-
ton the Sentinel press-room was tound TO De Ia
ruins, the roof Of the house being oloWn 10
pieces and scattered In every dlrectlon; the
nress which printed the Sentinel was complete
T. demolished. the type In the composlng-room
adioining all knocked down and pied, and every
th;no in Che greatest confusion and disorder
crowds of citizens soon gathered around the dis
mantIed building, and the impression was uni,
versal that some fend in human form had
blown up the Sentinel press by placing powder
underneath.
This opinion was fully confirmed by subse-
ouent examination of the ruins. A small job
nress in the COMPOSING room, which escaped
destruction, was examined, and paper OF
nowder found under it with slow match when
had been lighted, but had gone out.
This was proof conclusive that the outrage
was planned by some enemy or enemies OF the
editor of the Sentinel
It is said that about ten minutes before the
expIosion. colored boy who lives near the OF
fee, saw two individuals running OF from the
SPOT in the direction of the depot, with hats In
hand.
We learn that the Office and press were part
" insured. but we do not know to what extent.
The press cost some 81, 5OO:
This diabolical and hellish outrage has ex-
cited great Indignation, aud the vile wretch who
conceived and carried it into execution deserves
the seyerest penalty that the law can lnflct.
Such an act of fendishness is too infamous to
be nroperly characterized and denounced.
Whether from personal Or political malice, If
the heartIess villain think he can muzze the Sen
tineI or silence the voice of free, independent
press, he will find himself vastly mistaken. The
Sentinel cannot be suppressed by such means:
The loss of the press will no doubt be replaced
in few days by new one.
We extend our unfortunate nelghbor our most
heartfelt sympathies, and trust soon to see 1t
oa its feet again, dealing to the enemies OF
North Carolina ponderous blows and denounc-
ing the political crimes which have brought
poverty and desolation to the State. In the
mean time, let the friends of Mr. Turner and
the Sentinel bestir themselves and see to it that
this seeming calamity is made to rebound to
his benefit. Any assistance that We can give
him in the Ne,ys Office in the way of editorial
courtesy will be cheerfully rendered.

virginia Pride,

A correspondent at the White Sulphur
Springs, writing to the Cincinnati Commercial
what be knows about Virginia, says of their
pride:
There Is nothing either obstructive or op-
pressive in this Virginia pride, and It's existence
is only felt by the outsider; seldom seen and
never heard. The best Illustration of its char
acter is in flush times, in story Of an cid
Virginian who always compassionate!y forebore
to ask where bis visitor was from lest he should
force him to the huniliating confession that he
was not from Virginia. l. seems to NE, as a
candid and impartial observer, that there are
many valid reasons for this pride.
The course Of the State In the war, In going,
without any previous buster or bravado, into
the war when war became certain, whether the
course was right or wrong, is unquestionable
evidence of Virginia chivalry. The conduct of
her soldiers IN the war, and in all our wars, is
above approach. Aud IN peace she has had
her victories not less renowned than war; Her
people are hospitabie and generous almost be-
yond belief. She has more colleges and bet
ter ones for her population if not absolutely
than any other State II the Union or any 9TH
er country on the globe and there Is not
father in the State who will not stint his means
to give all his sons the benefit OF some one or
other of them. You never hear the Young
talking about killing somebody, as you do in
some parts of the South, and many a month of
sojourn here have yet to see young Virgin
ian retiring without first kneeling by his bed
side to say his prayers. Add to this that no
amount OF money nor any official position can
pass unworthy into society, nor any degree of
poverty exclude the worthy or prevent them
taking the highest positlons-all Of which is the
fact In Virginia, and not elsewhere that 7 know
of-and you have some idea Of the true sources
OF Virginia pride"
