The copper Is always wrong for me,

Well, have lived to he boy and man,

Half so sharp as Jimmy Is now
And sadly the question bothers me,

What will the Twentieth Century he.
If the Ninteenth youngsters are all like

Death Of William II. Seward,

The death Of Hon. William II. Seward oc-
Cured at his residence near Auburn, \. Y.
on Thursday at half past o'clock. His death
was sudden md unexpected. He had, during
the entire summer and up to Saturday, enjoy
cd good health, and was engaged in preparing
for the press volume on his recent Journey
around the world. Button Saturday he found
that he had, 4, he thought, taken cold, and
mad chill His physician was sent for, who
pronounced it Il case of ordinary tertan ague,
and prescribed accordingly. On Sunday Mr.
Seward seemed better and partooi Of his din.
ner as usual On Monday he resumed work
on his book. On Tuesday return Of the
aguc occurred, followed by high fever and de-
liyum. On Wednesday he was better, and
drove ont fora few hours. OnThursday about
noon he was suddenly seized with great diff
cu.ty Of breathing, caused by a catarrhal oiu-
sion in the lungs, which occasioncd MS death
in about two hours.
Mr.. Stewards intellectual faculties were
clear and vigorous to the last For a while,
in the closing struggle, his suticrngs were Sc
we're, but the powers of nature giving way. he
became easy, and spent his last hour in atirc-

hand in Shipping the destinies of this nation.

Important 70 Property Owners

The attention of the property owners Of OF,
tawa is particularly invited to the operation of
the new law regarding special assessments.
Under its provisions the City Council is cna-
hcd 10 enforce the construction of sidewalks
or to construct ;hcm at the expense ofthc ow.
ncrS of the lots. The Council adopted, on the
Sd of September, ." An Ordinance to provide
Tor the building, renewing and repairing of
certain sidewalks" in which We're specified
the lots and blocks before which sidewalks
were ordained TO bc constructed. This ordi-
nance was published in the FREE TRADER OF
September 1th. 1t is the intention Of the city
council to take immediate action in the matter
in accordance with the provisions Of the recent
statute. Application will, therefore, be made
at the next term of the County Court, which
convencs on next Monday week. for the ap.
pointmcnt g. commissioners, whose duty is I,
assess the damages and benefits resulting from
the construction of the sidewalks. When thi.
assessment has been determined, the counci
can proceed to build the sidewalk, and co,
thereof becomes II lien upon the property he
fore which it is placed The contcmplatcdap
plication of the council to the court WILL y
course, be attended with considerable expense
which will be taxable upon the dclinqucntS
1t will be readily perceived tina, it is for the in
tcrcst of all owners of property enumerated i,
the ordinance M September Sd, to at one
comply with its provisions, and thereby say
themselves the costs of the law proceeding.
1t Gay be as as well to add that the new Ia,
under which these proceedings will be ,ake'
is one that will "stick," and is believed t
furnish no loop-holc for evasion.

October Elections.

The result % the elections winch took place
last Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Ohio, indiana
and Nebraska, was looked forward to with
deep interest, IS toreshadowing, almost with
unerrlng certainty, the l,su.t oi the more I'm
portant election t" take place III ali tie states
in November The general opinion express
ed was, that il the liberals carried Pennsylva-
mia and Indiana in October, the election of
Greeley In November WAS placed beyond
doubt if they carried one "t the two states
named Tie chances were sui III lNor Of Gree
ley, for with New York, New jersey and
Indiana or lennsy ylvania and all the southern
states except South Carolina anI Mississippi,
Greeley would still have votes enough to elect
him bul 1t the liberals IN October lost both
PeInsy yivanla and lndmn@, then there was but
khe ghost ola chance left for the defeat OF
Grant. Wei, the Octobui elections have been
held. and what is the result
Pennsy lvania has been carried by the Grant
party by 10000 majority; and they have
elected 20 Of the - congressman and have II
majority in both branches Of the legislature.
SO far as the figures 20, the trld.nph oi the
Grant party over the liberal party in Pcnnsyl-
yanla Is complete.
Ohio, as generally anticipated. has gone re-
publican 10y about 10000 minority; but the
liberals made such splendid gains at many
polnts,-jO00 III Cincinnati, 2o0O at Clcvc-
land, &c.-ihat they deserved to have carried
the state. The result IN Ohio where the
election throughout was measurably honest,
shows fair gain on the lioerai side of ten to
fifteen thousand votes, gain which, with an
equally honest election, would have gwen u>
Pennsy ylyanm by ten Thousand majority.
Indiana has gone N iHvul oi The liberals.
That is, Hendricks, the Greeley candidate Tor
Governor, is elected by from 900 to 1000 ina.
.ionty, though the GRANTEES, by the disbones,
manner in winch they had gcrrymandered
the representative ul lets, claim to have car
rcd the legislature.
Nebraska, AS usus., has gone for the rad
icals by from 3G0o to 5000 majority.
This, then, is the result. Pennsy ylvania
Ohio, oAd Nebraska for the radicals Indian,
for Greeley. Is this such result as shout
induce the Liberal party, as the democracy II
1865 did, to give up the contest as hopeless
on the showing OF the October elections.
We think noi. Pennsylvania, it Is true
has Unexpectedly gone against us but the Ie
suit is case o gr,ss ami palpablc fraud
Philadelph!a alone gives llartrantt, the ru,l
ical candidate for Governor, 10000 majority
while, according 10 the vote in the rural dis
tricts, lIarirant ought to have been beate
5000 in Philadelphia. Tins stupendous m,
joYity ia his favor was therefore fraudulen,
That it was so, is evideat from the fact tina
the city polcd 10000 votes more than wcr
ever polled IN New York city, though cor
tanning 100000 less population. The moJol
ity for Haytranit was obtained in Philade
