1t has gathered the last sheen Of the
Greeley wave, and swept the last spray
over the briny deep It leaves not
trace or truce behind. Like the
mists of a mid summer morning it has
vanished in an hour, and again the sun
of universal prosperity shines brightly
over the nation. Peace everywhere
abouuds, and joy reigns in triumph
from ocean to ocean.
Yes, the "wave" went up in whirl-
wind, and it will descend in gentle
drops upon the ocean of time, and once
more mingle with its kindred particles.
Like thick, dark fog on some msjes-
tic river, it rose a few months since on
the noble Ohio. For q moment it
blinded the eyes of the nation. The
ship of state seemed TO be in danger.
But the captain stood on the hurricane
deck unmoved, and the foot of the pilot
was steady on the wheel, while with an
eagle.eye he surveyed the channel
"Let us fight it out on this line if it
takes all SUMNER" said the captain, and
the line of march was pursued.

on. The sober, second thought came
back to the crew, and order was found
everywhere to prevail. But it remain.

ELECTION DAY.

It was cloudy, dark and threatening
in this locality, and the consequence
was that very light vote was polled.
In this town there were two hundred
and eighty-three votes cast for Presi.
dent, ninety-seveu of which were cast
for Horace Greeley. Last year the
whole vote was two hundred and seven
ty-eight and the Democratic vote for
Governor was ninety fonr, so that there
is gain of three votess in their favor.
We had confidently. expected vote
of three hundred and fifty in the town,
from the fact that nearly four hundred
are registered. But other reasons exist
ed, beside the foul weather, to diminish
our vote. The work of many farmers
is far behind, and no thorough canvass.
ing had been done in the town.
So far as we are able to learn, it was
the most quiet election that ever took
place in this town, though we confess
to but little personal knowledge of it.
IF we rightly understand it, not dol
lar in money was staked in town 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Winches
ter sold D. McGregor few bushels of
potatoes at five dollars per bushel, under
certain circumstances. There are al
so, few other men in town who had
some so-called "mouth BETS such as
oysters, new hats, etc., but there was
scarcely enough pending to make the
day lively.
The contest on some of the local can
didates was brisk, and Mr. Hammond's
majority was much larger than general.
ly anticipated. On the other hand the
vote for Mr. Ives fell far behind ex.
pectation, it having been generally
predicted that he would get more votes
than Mr.. Beyans.
Judge Foster ran well, receiving fifty
five votes. 1t should be remembered
that the Judge held no meeting here.)
Mr.. Stone received one hundred and
sixteen votes, and Mr. Persons one
hundred. The balance of the ticket re.
ceived little or no attention, and Messrs
Brown, Paine and Warner received
nearly the full vote.

BALTIMORE, Nov .5.-S p. M.-The
State has probably gone Democratic by
1000 or 5000 majority. 1t is believed
that Lowndes, Republican, is elected
to Congress from the 9th district, bu,
Democratic Congressman in all the
other districts.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Midnight.
one hundred and fifty p recincts are re-
ported, and majority of the counties
in the State show Republican gain of
four thousand over October. This
ratio throus hout the State will give
Grant $4,000 to 10000 majority
ST.. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 5.-The cleo
ton passed off very quietly in this city,
and full vote was polled. The re-
turns come in slowly. The city and
county of st. Louis is estimated to have
gone 10000 majority for Greeley
The city of Hannibal Is Democratic.
The vote at De Soto gave majority Of
1877 for Grant; majority for Henderson,
$50. At Bonneville Grant gains "a.
Pike county gives majority for Gree
ley. Democratic Con gressmen are prob
ably elected in each of the three dis.
tricts of St. Louis city. The returns
from the State indicate that the State
has gone for Greeley by a majority Of
from 10000 to 10000.

A>"'"N"o'"uinS WIZ comparatively
meagre vote cast in the county, the Re-
publican majorities will equal, and
doubtless exceed those of any previous
election. From the returns so far re.
ceived it would seem that Grants ma
jority will exceed eight hundred.
Two years ago Gen. .Rusk's majority
in this county was only three hundred
and seveuty,one. 1t will equal Grants
majority now.
The majority for Mr.. Persons over
both his competitors will exceed five
hundred, which is certainly remarkable
when we consider all the circumstances.
Mr. Stones vote was much lighter
than his friends anticipated, and proba-
bly, will not exceed three hundred and
fifty, while the vote for Judge Foster
will reach nearly two hundred and
fifty.
Messrs. Brown, Paine and Warner
swept the county like hurricane, there
being no visible opposition to any one
of them.
Up to the time of writing this article,
E. H. Ives, independent candidate for
District Attorney, is fty.ive ahead of
Mr.. Bevans, with Diamond Bluff,
,Hartland, Union and Spring Lake to
hear from. "Old Jack" has given
Bevans close race, and if the latter
is elected, it will be by the last hair in
the old horses tail. 1t appears that
Rock Elm unexpectedly went back on
Mr.. Bevans, and for similar reasons, it
is quite possible, if not probable, that
Union and Spring Lake did the same
thing.
T. ". Hammond, Independent can
didate for Sheriff, is niuety-twc ahead,
with the same towns to hear from. 1t
is expected that Diamond Bluff will in
crease Mr.. Hammond's majority, while
Hartland and Union will doubtless take
it back about fifty votes. Spring Lake
gave majority for Doolittle last year
from which fact we infer that Mr..
Hammond will lead Mr.. Nelson few
votes.
The Hard Scrabble ticket made a
singular race, and the candidates on
either side, cross fred quite heavily.
The Ku Klux made fearful raid on
Nelson, with no visible effect on any
other candidate.
P. S.-The latest report puts Mr..
Bevans two votes ahead of Mr.. Ives,
and Mr.. Hammond few votes ahead
of Mr.. Nelson. We have 40 oysters to
bet on the head of any one of them.

the ELECTION.

We are not among those who exult
very loudly over political victories, So
called, nor do We ever despond at defeat
But we always endeavor to accept the
situation cheerfully, and make the best
of it.
A political victory, unlike q military
one, is not success, unless it be fairly
won, and political defeat is sometimes
. glorious moral triumph. Hence it
becomes rejecting men to be tempe rate
in their zeal and moderate in their joy,
even under the most favorable circum-
stances.
But We are commanded to rejoice
with those who do rejoice and to weep
with those who weep. Though there
will be but little weeping over the re-
suits Of the late election, it may never
theless be we'll to remember the sweep
ers," if any such there be, and to be-
stow upon them the we'll earned honor
Of faithful citizens, and persistent
workers for the cause in which they
were enlisted. And they, too, will re-
joice in the work they have done, still
looking forward for that success which
they ultimately anticipate.
Nationally, the contest has been one
of the most vigorous that this country
ever saw, while, locally, it has wanted
not only vigor, but regularity. Local
Gghts have bsennOt only angular, but
triangular, and the result is anything
and everything. 1t has been the de-
termination on the part of some, and
perhaps many, to make break some
where, and how well they have succeeded
the result plainly shows.
But, the election is over, and not
twelve months will elapse before specu-
lation will be rife upon the issues Of
the next campaign, and, whatever may
be in store for the future, one thing
is certain, and that is this:-It will not
be "anythang to beat Grant," No,
that will be with the things of the past.
And we humbly trust that some impor.
tant principle will be found to be in is.
sue, in all future elections.
The smoke of the campaign is being
swept rapidly from the field by the
wings of the telegraph. The breezes
which they carry, watt softly over Hill,
mountain and plain, clearing the murky
clouds of political debate from the col.
umns of newspapers and the mouths of
stump speakers. And it is we'll. Long
enough have the people seen through
glass darkly. Long enough has the
mind of the nation been tortured by
the dark poison of political heresy.
Long enough have we listened to de-
nunciation and violence. 1t is time
high time that passion was supplanted
by reason, and that general amnesty
was proclaimed.

THE SITUATION.

The readers of the "Avis,'' Mr.. Editor,
will readily remember, that a series of ar
ticles were published under this heading in
some back numbers, the object of which
was, to lay bare, by a most truthful expo
sition, the peculiar relation by which the
connection between the labouring rural
population and their employers were sus-
tanned and at the same time to offer GER
tain suggestions, which, if entertained,
were calculated to afford to both planters
and labourers, a better guarantee for the
future ;-to the former, a freer control of
the resources at their disposal for the more
economical, and, consequently, q better
management of their estates and to the
latter, a satisfactory opportunity whereby
their physical and mental energies could
be developed and employed, to afford them
oil those pecuniary ands moral benefits,
which should be regarded as their rightful
claim, and be literally viewed as the d.
rect result Of social advancement in the
community.
1t seemed opportune to have laid bare
this subject, involving as it does, the par
ticular interests of so large a portion of
this community, on the arrival of His Ma
iesty's late Commissioner Extraordinary,
Governour Billie; for expecting, as every
one did, that the right man was in the
right place, all eyes were naturally d.
rected to him and his movements hoping
and believing, that his familiar acquNint-
ance with those liberal and-rapidly advan-
cling institutions of free America, gained
~ lie L,-b oocooit;oae - IT, TT.;LoJ
States, and which must have afforded him
ample opportunity for Judging ofthe pecu-
liar wants of a people lately emerging from
the degrading abyss of slavery, would also
have steadily guided his actions here in
our particular case, while directing our
general affairs. But the %succinct recapitu-
lation given 10 No. 81 of this paper, as we'll
as the general knowledge which is possess
ed of matters as they stand, drive US to
this painful conclusion that, 'the harvest
is past, the summer is ended, aud we are
not saved"
It is not, however, the intention to d.
rect attention to any one particular depart
ment of our polity in this instance in the
Situation; but to give an exposition, to
Inc pest OF our kuoWleuSe' VI Sho present
state of matters, affected as some things
have been by the years administration of
the late Governour Billie, and the dire me-
cessity which exists for o radical change in
Others, which have been left untouched by
the late Governor.
To begin with the Superior Administra-
ton: Much has been said and done by
which this department will eventually be
materially affected. It is not, however,
the intention to detail anew the changes
which have been proposed in this way, in
O pecuniary point of consideration /; which,
ca PEASANT, are such as are fully calculated
to leave the overburthened finances of the
Island as much encountered as ever they
were, by a costly expenditure, while the
Importance of the administration itself, ap-

pears to have .dwindled away into compa-
rative inferiority. since the removal ofthe
clilef seat of Government to the sister ISL
and for the energetic labours of the Com
mlttee, whereby q definite opinion has been
arrived at, and which has been promulga-
ted so far us to have passed a End discus
sion in the Colonial Council, have succeed
ed in curtailing to no inconsiderable ex-
tent, the overrated amount provided for
the Presidents salary.
This matter when progressing so far,
might afford some scope for rejoicing, at
the achievement, were it not for the cloudy
doubts OF its eventual passage throughSt thu
SRI discussion, raised by no less q person
age thanlthe G0yernour himself, who possi
lively declared that she had not felt HIM
self authorised in conceding to this latte
proposal Of the Majority namelys che res
duction Of Presidents or ~VicegpFefnor's
salary to $4,000, without the so-eAsIedxsta =

sing to observe, that no better reasoning
could be advanced by the Gov6S66ay f0r
supporting the proposal Of the Minority,
than a look sinto the past history of I'M
Island but sstsapora mutGntns, et nos
mutamur IN iKs.
AT the Ord discussion, then, the over
whelming influence of w~hippers-in and5the
detractive force Of whippers-out, c0mbi-et
ming with the nature of the amendments
which the Government will propose, may
have . decided tendency 81 Ngivine8nYyef

in behalf of it's devoted and deserving NO

tell ; but a remarkable change has passed
