LATER and more complete returns re-
ceived from the late Vermont election
show the shaking up the Republicans
have had in that heretofore hide-bound
State has been more damaging than was
at first reported. The majority on the
State ticket has been cut down six or
seven thousand votes. The last State
Senate was unanimously Republican, but
now the uniformity has been broken by
the introduction of a Democrat. The
last House of Representatives contained
but twenty-five Democrats. The next
House, according to one account, will
have fifty-six Democrats and fifty Lux
ewarm Republicans; according to anoth-
er, as many as eighty-eight Democrats,
some of the lukewarm persons aforesaid
being classed with the Democrats
Towns that never before sent Democrat
to the State House to represent them,
now exhibit their change of heart by
beginning to do it. In the capital city
of Montpelier ten years ago scarcely
three-score Democratic voters were to be
found. 1t now elects NJ. d. Gilman,
(Democrat) to the Legislature, and gives
him nearly three hundred votes. In
theSecond Congressional District Poland,
the regular Republican cadidate, receiv-
ed 1854 majority two years ago; now
there is majority against him of 4, ,2S3.
In the Third Congressional District
Hendee had 1921 majority two years
ago; now he has 1873 majority-a heavy
falling off. These are some of the figu-
res. When the returns are complete
they will doubtless show still more grie-
vous rents in the tattered Radical ban
ner. And yet same organs hereabouts
says there is no political revolution in
progress this "oh" year.-Erchange

THE COLORADO VICTORY

The Democratic triumph in Colorado
shows the change that is going on in the
political sentiments of the people all over
tho country. In 1870 the Republicans
carried the election in that territory by a
majority of ,392 in vote of only ll,5OS,
and the Territory again went Republican
only two years ago by majority of 1886
True, Colorado, is at present nothing but
a Territory, although she has the requi-
site population to make a State. The de-
cision of Colorado would make very little
difference, therefore, in Presidential
election, but when the verdict is render
cd so long time in advance it cannot

The Nep York Tribune renews its char

and defender of the Press-Gag law which
Senators Bayard and Thurman on the
Democratic side and Senator Waddell,

Ode so effectively exposed, to test the
merits of the Tribune's charges by libel

MouLroN's defence is a very prolix at
mir. He presents nothing new in the
way of evidence calculated to criminate
and convict Beecher. There ia much
malice evident toward Beecher, and con-
adorable childish animosity toward 9TH
era. He gives from memory Beecher's
confession to him in regard to Mrs; Til
ton and another woman whose name he
(lGOulton) does not give. He must think
people exceedingly gullible to believe his
tale. His efforts to pervert letters are
plain to be seen. In short, while having
no special sympathy with Henry Ward
Beecher, we are convinced that Tilton
and Moulton arc pair Of scamps, un-
worthy Of further consideration.

The State Fair last week at Columbus
was great success. On Thursday, it is
estimated not less than thirty thousand
people we're in attendance. Twenty-six
thousand tickets were sold at the gates.
The railway trains came crowded with
passengers on every road and from all
directions. The city of Columbus was
probably never 30 crammed with stran-
gers. The vehicles runningto and from
the Fair grounds, two miles out, brought
a rich harvest to their owners. The Fair
is permanently located at Columbus, as
it should be.

IT augurs victory to see Democratic
conventions do as our friends did in the
Dayton and Tifin Congressional districts,
The Convention at Dayton, nominated
John Mcmahon Esq. On being advised
gift he declined, but the convention re-
nominated him, insisting on his accept
ance. He finally came in to the conven-
ton and announced his acceptance.
A similar occurrence took place in the
IifRn convention, where ex-Judge George
Rseney was nominated. Mr.. McMahon'S
opponent is Gunckel up for reelection,
and seney's opponent is Foster, also
candidate forre-election. Mcmahon and
Seney arc both gentlemen of high char
octer and decided ability. The districts
are Republican, but the chances for the
Democracy with such candidates, is good.

WHEAT is now rating at one dollar to
one dollar and five cents, and our farm
ers think that price is very low. They
have been used, of late years, to sell
ling at higher figures. But as the crops
in Europe are good, and more especially
in Great Britain, and in this country we
have an abundant wheat crop, there is
little likelihood of the price of wheat ad-
vancing. This seems to be the opinion
Of good judges everywhere. Had we
grain to sell VIC would by no means hold
on for higher price at this time.

Look at TIL $.

The parish of Lafourche has paid in the
last four years, levee taxes to the State to
amount of forty thousand dollars, and last
wednesday, when a proposition was formal
ly ma lie by the citizens to the Government,
that if five thousand dollars were guaran-
teed them for provisions and material, they
would, at no expense to the State for labor,
close the crevasse near Thibodaux within
ten days, il was refused. During the four
years that Lafourche paid this forty thou
sand dollars levee tax, not one dollar has
been expended on her levees. And at the
very time that this request for five
thousand dollars to stop the crevasse
made and refused, the Kellogg State
is government has purchased and
sent very large quantity of pro-
visions to the parish which are being dis
tributed among the negroes on the planta-
tions which have been scarcely touched by
the overflow, and who are consequently de-
sorting the fields and refusing to work on
the crevasse. The real sufferers from the
crevasse are the white creoles, numbering
over fifteen hundred, living in what is known
as the Lafourche bralees in rear of the bayou
These unfortnnates, now homeless and desti-
tute, are camped on RATS and Indian mounds
and menaced by starvation, but Mr. Kellogg

poor white creoles are left to suffer. These

Mineral Discoveries in Arkansas.

A Locksburg (Sevier county, correspond
ent of the Little Rock Gazette writes as fol-
lows: We have a belt of leads, running
east and west, in townships six and seven,
and so far as they have been tried bid fair
to be very rich with lead and silver. We
also have zinc, copper and iron. The lodes,
are generally very easily traced by their
walls. The outcroppings, which are princi-
pally quartz, in many places show the metal
in them. We have specimens picked up
from off the leads which, upon tests made
with nitric acid and precipitated with salt
water, give heavy precipitates of chloride of
silver, etc.
1t is said at the Bellah mine, which is
now being worked (and l suppose they
have gone to the depth of eighty feet), that
it is yielding gold, silver and lead. But the
Davis mine, about four miles north of
Bellah, is only about twenty feet deep, and
the ore is abundant and very rich. We have
the same indications at great many other
places. l have 70 doubt of the existence of
large aud inexhaustible beds of silver, cop
per, lead, zinc and other metals here in Sc
vier, and hope to see them developed. These
mines are not more than twenty five miles
from water navigation and about sixty from
railroad. ShOnld they prove numerous and
as rich as Davis, road will certainly be
built from the Cairo and Fulton to them.
