FOXES AS SHEEP-HERDERs.-The
Stockton (Cal.) Republican vouches
for the following story: People
often wonder at the remarkable in
stinct displayed by well-trained
shepherd dogs, but what Will they
say when we tell them of a band of
sheep that is guarded by foxes alone.
The story seems improbable, but of
It's truth we have the most undoubt-
ed proof. On Whiskcy hill, four
miles from Milton, may be seen, al
most any day, large flock of sheep
herded by foxes. These guardians
OF the little lambs arc three in num-
oer-one gray fox and the other
two Of the species known as the red
fox. In point of intelligence these
novel shepherds are said to greatly
surpass the best trained shepherd
dogs. They perform their work we'll,
and from morning till night are ever
on the alert. The gray one seems
TO control, and in great measure
direct, the actions of the other two.
A gentleman informs us that he yes-
terd"y saw the gray fox pursue and
attack hog that had seized a lamb
and was making off with it. The
contest was short and sharp, and
resulted in the hog dropping the
lamb and beating a hasty retreat.
The fox picked up the apparently
uninjured lamb and carried it back
to the flock >

MAYNARD AND THoRNBURGH.

The election of Thonburgh in the "lIat-
tering Ram" district, which now seems to
be conceded, is one of the most gratifying
results of the canvass The mapping out
of this district, so shanlefully partisan and
proscriptive as that not minded man
attempted to defend Is, was intended to de-
feat the peoples villa and to securs a par
tisan triumph. But the attempt has met
with n most signal and merited rebuke. BY
thee lection of fThornburgh the people ofthe
district not only secure an able and faith
ful representatives but they have,we hope,
forever put an end to such infamous legis-
lation. When the gerrymandering was COM
pleted the partisan leaders of Democracy
chuckled in their sleeves and thought they
had done a wonderfully smart thing. Not
only have we shelved Horace May
nard said they, but we have fast
ened upon his old Radical constituents,
II Secesh Democrat. We "believe in the
law of revenge" " said their leading Sena-
tor. With such motives, unblushingly
proclaimed, they awaited the result with
confidence. Their "whippers in" and
"drill sergeants" would rally the weak
kneed to the "nominees" for the sake of
the Organization reasoned the party
managers, and with this delusion they
pressed through their partisan measures.
But Horace Maynard, through fourteen
years and over of public life, had never
dishonored his constituents or betrayed a
trust. OF conceded integrity and ability,
the people could not suffer him topass into
retirement, legislated out of Office 10y the
| infamous "battering ram'i district. So
they rallied to his support, and to-day he
stands overwhelmingly endorsed by the
people of his State and his
pursuers are confounded with disgrace.
His election if assured, as now seems to
be conceded, is the greatest triumph of even
his eventful political career, as it is one of
the most fortunate for his State.
With Maynard and Thornburgh elected,
the "Battering Ram" district will he
heard of no more, and partisan, proscrip-
tive legislation will, we trust, be forever

johnson and MAYNARD.

There is no member of the Radical par
ty in Tennessee, as n thinker and speaker,
better than Horace Maynard. People were
gathered by Andrew Johnson's fame, and
then captivated 10y the graces and elo-
Quence of Horace Maynard and have voted
for him. 1t thus happened that Andrew
johnson has not only been defeated, fear
fully defeated, bat the people have pro-
nounced against him as a popular de
claimer. He was heretofore deemed un-
equaled in peculiar capacity for self
adaptation to popular passions and ca
prices. He is shorn by Maynard even of
this dignity. The Pequod Congressman
has improved vastly in personal appear
ance. He dressed well and looked we'll
and spoke with great effectiveness. And
thus the great revolutionist of parties has
not only wrecked parties, but wrecked
his own fortunes and at the same moment
lifted 10 the proudest eminence among
Tennesseeans his lifelong partisan enemy

Mrs. Grundy," of the New York II'orld
writes from Washington:
The family speak of Miss Grant as hav-
ing grown and developed much during
her travels. They rather discourage the
idea that She will enter fully into society
the present winter. She is only seven
teen, and can well afford to wait There
is great rejoicing among her relatives over
her return, as she is almost idolized by her
aunts and uncles as well as her parents.
But then, to speak the truth she has an
unusually lovely disposition, and although
on only daughter, is totally unspoiled.

THE election of Gen. Grant we regard
rs triumph over duplicity and shame
less coalition. If it has any significance
at all it shows that the people of this coun-
try are too intelligent to be duped by poll
ticians. But men will look at such things
differently. 4 man by the name Of Wat
terson writes editorials for the Louisville
Courier-JournoJ He rants and raves in
this style over the election returns. We
give it as a sample of how intelligent men
can work themselves into a crazy mood:
The devil is in the air and the dog o
Radcalism is having his day. after us"
may come"the deluge," but if the deluge
don't come soon we must gather our
slouched and scattered forces and "at them
again" Days of adversely prove the worth
of men. Instead of electing Mr.. Greeley,
as was anticipated a few months since by
his friends, he is left without majority,
as far as known, except in the South.
The South has proved true to the cause of
Liberalism. The situation is growing,
the times are out of joint. But we must
rise and we will rise. The Liberal elements
of the nation are made of sterner stuff
than that which gives away before the
first storm of adversely. The prospect is
undoubtedly dscouraging. There is not
the least doubt in our mind that the ag-
gressions of the military ring which sur
rounds the President will become more
persistent and shameless. San Domingo
schemes will flourish now. Credit Mobi-
lier jobs will become respectable through
frequency. Blatant idiots like Harlan,
who retire from the Senate merely to as
sumo closer relationship to the President,
and clustering bullies like Conllling, will
move with nimble servility to the plotting
of Cameron and Morton. There will be q
lovely spectacle of ungloved villainy in
every department of the public service.
Venality and nepotism will he the order
of the day. Casey and Tom Murphy will
walk in high grass of custom houses from
which the scythe of power has been with
drawn; Leet and Stocking will once more
prosper without concealment: all the
strumpets and adventures will have
good time; and the Administration may
spit in the face of the wind without any
fear of verifying the Spanish proverb.

CLUB MEETING.

The Republican Club meeting last
night, LIST inst. at the Court House in
this city was glorious, spontaneous
outburst of enthusiasm and showed
that the hearts of Republicans beat
true to the old standard. It has never
been our lot to be more gratified. at
The alacrity with which Republicans
came up sqnarely and earnestly to the
work, than they did last night.
An interesting Panorama was on
exhibition at Taylor's Hall. which
would of course have strong tenden-
cy TO diminish, and did somewhat di-
minish the number in attendance.
The Court House was well filed, how
ever, the business promptly attended
to, and about $50 names enrolled as
members of the Club. As yet we
have not had the benefit of any foreign
speakers, to awake enthusiasm, but tour
home talent, aided by the inherent
earnestness.of Republicans, has been
all sufficient to make our two meetings
successes.
The scattering desertion from the
party only serves to nerve to redoubl-
ed vigor and activity the earnest intel
ligent men of the nation.
The overwhelming victories hereto
fore of the republican party, have made
success so sure and easy, that the
sloughing off here and there into the
democratic party ola few republicans
has only served to give zest and energy
to the campaign.
SO much time was consumed with
the necessary business of the Club, that
but little time was afforded for speech
making. VIM. McNett and n. l.. Til
ton, of the Depot Hotel, were each
called out and made Two neat, earnest
telling little speeches, which brought
down the house in storms of applause.
