THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY.

This sveNcd question between this
country and England has been on tie
tapis for quarter of a century. AT
one time il nearly broke out in an open
eruption between the two Countries
This administration took it up and fol-
lowing the line Of policy insuguratcd
in the Alabama claims Emperor VII.
liam Of Germany was made arbiter in
the case. The result has been that
kiser William has decided the case as
he was doubtless bound to do from the
evidence in favor of the United States.
We challenge any nan to point ont
the time in the history Of this country
when our foreign policy has been more
peaceably or satisfactorily administers
cd than under General Grant. This
country has gained in its accomplish
ments and its policy the greatest and
most peaceful victories we ever attain
ed and il is a matter Of sincere con.
graduation that the greatest soldier of
the age has proved to be the greatest
pacificator of the age. All this has
been not only without the aid of
Charles Sumner but in fact against his
bitter opposition. The future historian
will record that General Grants adj
ministration won it's brightest glory in
its sensible arbitration policy and
taught the nations Of the earth a noble
lesson in the school of peaceful settle
ment Of difficulties.

NEBRASKA.

+. The first reports ofthe October cleo
ton in Nebraska. gave us about three
thousand majority, but the official vote
which has just been promulgated, gives
the entire Republican State ticket an
average majority of about seven thou
sand. This will do pretty well for a
new State, and is a gain Of about three
thousand over any previous election.
Nebraska is one of the States which
Horace Greeley's man Friday, Reid,
has persisted in putting in the doubt
full list.
Our friends there promise MS q clean
ten thousand majority Tor Grant next
Tuesday.
Nebraska is rapidly filling up with q
race Of intelligent, hardy young men
from various parts Of the country, who
are availing themselves Of her rich,
cheap lands, and after an extensive
tour through that country, and an &C.
| quaintance with the character Of her
sturdy pioneers, who for the mostpart,
carried their muskcts to save their
country, is docs not appear remarkable
that her Republicanism is so rapidly
increasing or that she is striving for
the appellation Of the "Iowa" of the
trans Missouri country She is worthy
Of it, and it is her destiny to achieve
that proud position.

q week, in the columns of our Demo-
cratic exchanges, in honor of the re-
suit in Connecticut. But now comes
the New Haven PaiLadium, and rolls
q tidal wave Of cold water over the
happiness Of the Liberals by saying:
t'The official returns from l5S to "
show that the Republicans have car
ried 81, the Democrats 49, aud 81 have
elected mixed tickets. by far the larg-
est portion having a majority OF Re-
publican officers. Five towns which
last year were Republican or mixed,
are this year Democratic, viz: Ando-
yer, Bethel, Danbury, Naugatuck and
Wilton. Nine towns which were
Democratic last year, are gained by
the Republicans, viz: Bethlehem,
Cromwell, Ledyard, Madison, Newton,
North Haven, Spraguo, Plymouth and
Vernon. There is not an intelligent
Democrat In the State but knows that
his party was never in q fecbler or
more dfsorganiaed condition, and all
the Dragging in the world will not
persuade them to the contrary. Or
ders were given from the Liberal Com
mfttee TO telegraph gains, with the
hope OF influencing the electiors in the
States which voted on Tuesday, but
now they have voted it is q waste of
perverse ingenuity to try 10 keep up
the deception"
