something in view Tar transcending all individ-
ua considerations. It was not love for his per-
aon that induced 1000, 900 Of freemen to vote
for him. Neither did they support him out Of
ernment. The people felt that be and his Cabi-
net stood for the Government itself, we're it's
living Symbols Government which is theirs,
which They cherish shove all material things,
which for them means life, liberty, and pursuit
Of Happiness. The people did not 1epudiate
but because he stood in part for the idea Of q
nationality that endeavored to organize itself
on our own soil in hostility to the Government
founded by the fathers Of the republic.
From the Mizrcaukxs Net1s (Demoeratic),
Better and more hopeful results have been
reached il this State than any other in the
Union. When Greeley was first nominated, the
- tidal wave" rose higher in this State. Had
the State voted in October, he would have car
ried it. The power Of the of6ce-holders in Wis
consin is thoroughly broken. They have been
totally powerless in bringing about this result.
Grant has carried Wisconsin merely because he
Was carrying everything. It has simply gone
with the tide, and has done nothing to raise the
tide: There is no State in which the spirit Of
political reform is stronger Cr active than in
Wisconsin. There is no State in which the war
Issues have passed so completely ont of politics.
and in which such lives issues Of the day as the
tariff, revenue reform and civil service reform.
have taken deeper hold upon the people.
There is no section OF the country in which
there remains more cordial and abiding faith
in the triumph Of these principles. Grants
majority Of 1868 has lost by 10000 liberal Re-
Pnbhsans cans who voted for Greeley partially offset
Dy lew Democrats who voted for Grant, and
gain OF go 600 indicated by the transfer OF 10000
votes from the Radical to the Liberal side, was
reduced to 1000. We believe that. at no dis
tant day Wisconsin viii lead in political revo
has been, and which will be crowned with COM
plete and sweeping success!

Well, you would naturally presume most of the
titles commence with patents from t he proprie-

FROM ths t7nesfnata commercial L1oeT1t Republican,.
Tho popular judgment has been declared that
it would De unsafe to take the Administration Of
the General Government out Of the hands OF the
representatives Of the Republican party. There
has been no lack Of understanding Of the extent
Of the mistakes OF Grant, but the decision is
tiy to others We know not Of. Overwhelming as
is the result Of yesterday, we adhere to the
opinion that there we're the materials in the
country with which it might have been re-
BILE in politely as in war. Il the Cincinnati
movement could have had the best practicable
expression in the Convention, We do not otentertsin
doubt that Grant would have been defeated
and if the Liberal and Democratic organizations
had been efficiently managed through the cam e.
in October, and that event would hare given US
New York, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois yester-
day. But the mistake Was made at Baltimore OF
insisting upon labelling Mr. Greeley as Dem
better for the Democrats to have voted
for him in his character simply as =
Liberal candidate. The Democratic par
t. wonld take the field as party,
and, while it had lost its vital force and was Ike
denoralized army, there was not Responsible
and comprehensive working organization to take
it's place. President Grant will not, perhaps, be
much obliged to us for our good wishes; but We
hopehe will be able to repair in his SECOND term
the blundera that di scredit his tl1st. And We

From the Toledo (0.> Blade {2epu6hcan).
This is certainly most glorious triumph, vet
ne do not know that any one should be disap-
pointed. We have never had q more popular
Administration than that Of President Grant
and there never was party organized for
corruption as that which characterized the oppo-
sition in the late contest. The wonder should
be that Any considerable number of intelligent
people were to be found willing to indorHe such
an organization. The people have great reason
to rejoice over their triumph. It's victory
achieved by Right over Wrong-a triumph Of the
people over political tricks ters and traders.

HEALTH BREVITIES;
A SUBJECT DEMANDING PUBLIC ArrEN-
TioN.

Cairo is, at present the healIhiest CIT!
ia the United States, and generally Is
more exempt than its neighbors of the river
courses. frc-i the curse Of contagious dis =
| eases but this fact should not throw
off our guard and make us too confident Of
continued exemption from ne ravages Of
the smallpox, which i. now prevailing in
almost every city and town north and
south Of US.
What have our city authorities done
-wha, has the board Of health dOne-to
protect Cairo against the ingress Of small
box cases from the river steamers contln-
ually landing at the wharf Judge Bross,
Of the county court acts promptly wheh
cases Of this kind are brought to MS
atten ion but there should be an under
standing between him and the board OF
health Of the city so that together they
may effectually protect US from the danger
of small pox contagion. In this connec-
ton we would suggest that the board OF
health should at once be called together,
and in conjunction with Judge Bross,
should adopt some plan for the protection
OF the city.
We would advise all citizens who
have not been vaccinated TO lose no time
in procuring protection against the small
pox. Every place in Chri'tendom, ex-
cept Cairo is now afflicted by this foul dis
ease, and we must expect to have it at
tack us soon. We should not forget that
towns like Paducah and Metropolis, and
cities like st. Louis and Memphis are
compelled to pass through Cairo to get
anywhere when they wish TO 60 away
from home, and they will be sure TO send
TO US few fine specimens of their finest
cases Of small pox. The board of health
and county court should, we believe, pro-
vide for the free vaccination OF all people
in the city too poor TO pay for this protec-
ton against small pox, and means should
be procured to spread the news among the
colored people. The arrangement should
be made before next Sunday so that the
fact may be announced from the colored
pulpits A stitch in time saves nine.
