THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY. The result
Of the State elections yesterday, although dit
fcrcnt from what we had hoped it would have
been, aud while it will doubtless cause feel
ing of disappointment, should not dispirit or
cause any relaxation on the part of the Conser-
yatives to secure success at the final contest IN
November. While, from the indications, 1t
would seem difficult task to overthrow the
Radical rule, backed by the power and patronage
OF the Government as at present administered,
vet it behooves all who are guided by sincere
desire to restore peace and happiness to the
country, not to relax for moment their exer-
tons, but to strive vigorously from now until
November for victory; aud especially In Virgin
ia, where greater exertions will now be made
than before by the Radicals, should every en-
Gcavor be made to retain in the hands OF the
Conservatives the control of the State. 1t is
10 the hour of adversely that the true spirit
Of patriotism shows forth most brilliantly; 50
at this time let there be no falteriug, but let
each and every man do his duty FROM now
until election day.
In PENNSYLVANIA the Radicals claim a MAORI
ty of nearly 900 in the city of Philadelphia,
which they feel assured will give them the
State by at least 5000. The dispatches from
Ohio claim republican gains, and those from
Indiana state that the contest is very close.
The election in the District of Columbia results
in the return Of n. 3. Chapman, Radical, by
5000 majority, as delegate to Congress, and the
choice of 10 out of 30 members of the territor-
ial house of delegates.
A dispatch from Washington last night says:
'Senator Cameron telegraphs to the President
at II p. M, that the republican majority in
PENNSYLVANIA will reach twenty thousand The
chairman of the Ohio republican committee tel
egraphs him that Ohio has gone republican BY
fifteen thousand. Indiana advices say it is
close and doubtful, but the republican clalms II
because of democratic losses in the river coun-
ties. The President retired at midnight, as
suring his friends that the November contest
had been virtually decided in his favor. .
1t is reported that the Democrats gain two
members of Congress III Ohio and lose two in
Pennsylvania.
The Baltimore American of this morning
says that the returns from Ohio are compare
lively meagrc The few counties which have
been heard from show percentage OF Radl-
cal gains which, if they are maintained
throughout the State, will give from ten Il
twelve thousand majority.

proved every way successful the instruction
being oral, and the aim, not severe study, but

~I In his opinion in the Milligan case,
Judge Davis expressed the following
sound sentiments:
"The Constitution of the United States
is law for rulers and people equally
in war and in peace, and covers with
the shield of its protection all classes of
men. at all times and under all circum-
stances. No doctrine involving more
pernicious consequences was ever in
vented by the wit of man than that any
Of its provisians can he suspended dur
ing any of the exigencies of the govern
ment. Such doctrine leads directly TO
anarchy and despotism, but the theory
of necessity OH which it is based is false,
for the government within the constitu-
ton has all the powers granted to it
which are necessary to preserve its ex-
istence, as has been happily proved BY
the result of the great effort to throw
off its Just authority"

farm in Crawford county, will be 1880
feet long. and 85 feet high. The Leav-

be used. the cost of which will amount
to $4,000. The mills and the material

sufficient to supply any demand for
