miners employed locomotives in various places to pump
water into tho mInes and for q time the fire was
checked They also cut holes into the mines
in order to force the water through them'

THE ELECTIONS.
Democratic Success Every
where! North, South, East
and West.
The Next Congress Democratic
by a Good Majority.

by a Good M aJOrity.
Even the telegraph wires are laugh
ing to-day. They are the bearers of
joyful news. We would like TO give it
in detail but IL is too much. 1t would
take us too long. We can't wait. Here
it is in brief. New York elects a demo-
cratic Governor by 10000 majority, and
two-thirds of her Congressman are
democrats. In Massachusetts a gain of
three Congressmen-Butle is beaten by
a thousand or more majority, and beat
ing Butler the Beast beats the devil
himself-while the democratic candidate
tor Governor is ahead as far as heard
from. New Jersey elects a democratic
Governor and gives us gain of two
congressman. In Pennsylvania the
democrats make a gain of l27 900 over
the last election. Delaware went dem
ocratic for everything-nOt a republican
elected in the State. Glorious little
Delaware! Maryland is democratic.
Virginia gives us gains in congressman.
South Carolina gains two or three con-
gressmen. Georgia gives an undivided
democratic delegation. Alabama gains
two. New Orleans gives $4,000 demo-
cratic majority, and the State of Louisi-
ana largely democratic, large numbers
of negroes veting with the white men
Texas gives large democratic majOritieS
in all the districts heard from. Ken
lucky makes "A clean sweep-electing all
of her ten congressman democratic. IL
linois gives "A gain probably of three
congressman. In Missouri the demo-
Gratis claim all the congressman but two.
Michigan gives three democratic con-
gressmen. To sum it all up, the revOlu-
ton is complete. The democrats have
gained everywhere, and the next Con-
gress will be largely democratic. In ouI
own State Porter's majority will prob
ably be 10000, and certain gain of five
congressman, and possibly six. Else
where we publish the official vote OF
Giles county as far as heard from.

An exchange says: "Years ago they
claimed that a christian who owned a
race horse couldn't go to heaven, but
now the Rev. Murray is allowed TO
own seven and nobody says word. -
That is because people don't take half
as much interest in going to heaven now
as they used to do; and, besides, Brother
Murray belongs to that class of Chris

heaven anyhow, unless they accidentally
do so through some mistake about the

The Union aud American says: Since
the detection OF the Gibson county jail
breakers and murderers, we have
learned from the best authority that a
large proportion of them are men who,
from the close of the war to the time of
the passage of the civil rights bill in the
Senate, affiliated with the radical party
Of Tennessee. Their political records
were, OF course, notorious, and the stripe
20 which they belonged was known the
instant they were exposed. II, there
fore, the Democracy must shoulder any
responsibility for the outrage, there Is
an equal share to buckle on the back of
Radicalism

If the white man and the black man
can not live together as political equals
the sooner the country knows it the bet
ter. We have never believed they could
and do not now believe they can; but
we have been willing and we are now
willing To carry the experiment co its
highest developments, hoping for the
best. The South could not resist the
constitutional amendments. We were
thrown, by necessity, on our wits as il
were, and the result is the present stu
alton of affairs. The conservatism o.
the South prefers an empire, king, &c
the present race of mobly despotS, and
