 The election in this town yesterday re- suited in the triumph of the Republican party by some 42 majority, Messrs. L. l..
 Whiting and H. H. Riggs being elected representatives. Everything passed off quietly we observed however a few of the electors after the vote was declared, calling in rather emphatic tones for our Helen Blazes. The Temperance ticket (Union Reform) boiled votes (more than was expccted.) The weather for the time of year was worse than usual, in fact was a regular April fool. There were prospects of being pleasant in the morning, but which turned into a clustering snow and sleet storm later in the day, becoming by 4 o'clock p. m., about as tedious day to be out as we have had this winter. The Conn. Western put on an extra train yes terday. We now have four passenger trains each way daily, making it possible to leave here in the morning for New York and return the same day, arriving at 934 p. nn., giving one some ? 1.2 hours in New
 York. which alone is great accommoda- ton to our business men. The milk train yesterday (lst trip) took on at this station 50 cans of milk, which we think is pretty good beginning. There is prospect now that more than twice that amount will be shipped from this station by another week. >. fl .algr- ...-,.-, SEET sR -BRA.s,

LOCAL SELF q GOVERNMENT. Hon. T. F.
Bayaid, in his speech in Wilmington,
last Friday night, talked for nearly three
hours, and in all that time urged but one plea
for accepting Mr.. Greeley, viz that he was
in favor of ''local selfgovernment. Nearly
the whole gist of his speech was upon this
point; and without saying much for the candi-
date he proceeded to elucidate his old State
Rights doctrine in the most elaborate manner.
lie seemed to hang the fate of the country
upon this issue, and inasmuch as Mr.. Greeley
had accepted it he was willing to ignore all his
Objectionable points for this one idea
Let us investigate the subject Mr.. Greeley,
in his letter of acceptance of the Cincinnati
nomination used the following language
"There shall be no Federal supervision of
the internal policy of the several States and
municipalities, but each shall be LETT free to
enforce the rights ard promote the well being
OF its inhabitants By such mcanS as the judg
n'ent Of its o,on people shall prescribe"
This is good State Rights doctrine, it would
seem, against which Mr. Greeley contended SO
hercely during the war According to this theory
the people of each State must be left to do as
they please, federal laws to the contrary
notwithstanding. Yet Mr.. Bayard believed
Mr. Greeley to be honest to his convictions of
right and was willing to support him on thi>
issue. On this point of honesty Of conviction
we will not dissent from Mr.. Bayard. We
have not, up to the present accused Mr..
Greeley Of any improper motives or dishonest
purposes. But what are Mr. Greeley's con-
victionS On this question? His record against
State Rights has been as clearly defined as his
record in favor of equal rights to all men. We
have also to compare what he has written with
what he has said, during this campaign In
his late speech at Cory, Pa, he used the
following astonishing language We call il
astonishing because it is perfect endorsement
of General Grants policy toward the South
The people are entitled to protection-per-
feet protection If the State governments will
not give It, there must be a power somewhere
that will give it. Our Government
must have the power to protect its own people
at home as we'll as abroad"
In his letter he declares that the people
should rely on the several States for the pro-
lection of their rights within each State. In
his speech he declares that the Government is
the legitimate guardian of American citizen.
ship. To make his record good he must stand
by his speech The rights of colOred people to
vote, to hold Office, to testify in the courts, to
sit as jurymen, to bear arms, and to attend
free schools in a Democratic Southern State,
was conferred by the General Government and
Mr. Greeley urged Congress to do it. His
record is made in this direction, and no one
knows better than he that if the Government
did not maintain these rights they would not
be enforced at all in the South.
Can Mr.. Bayard tell US what Mr.. Greeley
honest convictions are ?-his past record or his
present writings.

GREELEY's DOOM SEALED.

Pennsy yivania Republican by 10000.
State elections were held yesterday in Penn

In Pennsylvania, in which the most interest
was manifested, the returns indicate the sue
cess of the Republican ticket by very large
maiority-from 10000 to 10000 In Phila-
delphia the Republicans had sweeping
success. The Republicans elected all their
Congressman but one This State contest was
considered a most important index to the
Presidential election, and the result seals the
fate of Mr.. Greeley
OHIo.-partia! returns from half the coun.
ties in the State show Republican gains of 30OI
over the vote of Hayes in 1871, when the ma.
jority reached 10000. This will be reduced by
Democratic gains in Hamilton, Lucas and
Cuyahoga Counties, leaving the Republican
majority not less than 5000 in the State.

from forty townships in central counties show
