Boston, Nov. 4.
The elections yesterday resulted in glorious
victories for the democracy. This city is alive
with excitement, and the enthusiasm and JOY OF
democrats and liberals is unbounded; even Mas
thraldom Of Radicalism.
Hon. VIM. CASTOR is elected Governor by
about eight thousand majority; and better
than all, the old Bay State sends at least
six democratic Representatives to Congress.
Ben Butler is defeated. His district gives
Thompson one thousand majority. Banks is
elected by over six thousand majority. TarboX
Of Lawrence, defeats Aver by 1000 Chaplin in
the 18th district has nearly 5000 majority.
Seelye in the 10th district has 500 majority.
Warren in the Sth district has 800, and at noon
to-day the announcement is made that Judge
Abbott is elected in the 4th district. The ad-
ministration party made desperate efforts to
save these districts.
Blaine and Frye of Maine came to the rescue
and at the navy yard here over S100, 900 of
public funds was expended to defeat Banks,
but the people have spoken rebuke to the re-
publican party.
New York.
The returns from other states are not less
significant; the great political revolution brings
up New York with 10000 democratic majority
and Is or 30 democratic congressman

New Jersey gives clean democratic victory,

official acts by female Justices Of the Peace
it is proper TO say that marriages by them

Evan Augustus" J. e. Abbott, Esq. J
the Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Post, sent to that paper last week, a start
ling exhibit of the futility and folly of
the prohibitory law OF this state. By a
history of the law since its enactment,
and statistics for twenty years drawn from
official sources, he shows that the law has
| utterly failed Of its protested obiect-that
liquors are sold freely in every consider
able place, that drinking abounds and
that the number of arrests for drunken
ness IS enormous. The Post editorially
summarizes the facts as follows
When it can be shown, as this statement
shows for Maine, that under prohibition after
ten years OF uninterrupted experimenting,
there were 5000 places in 542 municipalities
where Intoxicating liquors were illegally sold
That for single year, ending November Both,
1873, there were II ,S0S arrests for drunkenness.
in spite of the friends of the law declaring that
drunkenness was not more than one-tenth as
common as before its enactment; that after ten
years of prohibition, in the single year 1866.
according to the report of the Chief Constable
| I'll $780, 600 worth of liquors were brought into
the State; that the State itself becomes a
trafticker in the very article to which it refuses
legal protection; that out of $40 towns and
cities in the State not more than an average of
100 obtain their liquors of the Agency, which
sold only 500, 1872 "a worth in 1866, against the
81 100000 sold illegally; and that insanity has
been increased nearly four-fold in very few
years in consequence of the growing evil of
intemperance when facts so convincing as
these are produced as the fruit and outcome of
prohibition, with what regard for the public
security and the public good can the citizens of
Massachusetts be asked to vote for a law whose
immediate removal from the statute book should
be the universal determination

Our neighbor should state particularly
which of the Aroostook wars is meant.
The first one was when the hot resentment

ton to oppose all the armies and fleets of
Great Britain, and Of which conflict few
veterans still linger among US. There is
no telling what we might have done had
not Gen. Scott come and held us by the
coat-tails. War the second was that of
Powers vs.. Cary, in which our local cap
tain, Hon. A. e. Jewett, led the victorious
forces. We have long felt that each of
these conflicts needs a competent histo-
rian; but it will be impossible to say from
which can be extracted the most humor.

Ed. GoLD HnL .SEws: As the time
Of our State election is approaching, so
also the public mind is becoming inter
ested al to who will be our next U. S.
Senator. It may therefore DO proper
for one OF your frequent readers to adj
dress a few remarks to your interesting
journal. From such a source OF infor-
nation there may perhaps be cleaned
items OF interest, to the public good,
relative to the political position Of Ne
vada. Such an exalted position may be
coveted by those who are not qualified,
and consequently would be a dishonor
and 4 fraud on the people. While there
are others well adapted, possessing suit
able requirements necessary to make
them an ornament to the Senate and
the people whom they may represent,
nevertheless yituperation and censure
are used rs weapons Of attack against
the candidate OF ability and tact, partic-
ularly by the jealous minded.
Suggesting Mr.. Sharon as an example,
il must be acknowled he is the best
abused man that has ever come before
the commonwealth; and why? Because
by his indefatigable energy and industry
he became great a a business manager
and financier, useful to the mining in
terests Of Storey county and other por-
tons Of the State. Consequently being
an enterprising capitalist, he must be Q
monopolist, as tho jealous minded
will have il. by tho influence OF his
wealth, according to Mr.. Sutro's optical
instruments, Mr.. Sharon will reduce the
State to misery and labor to n%othingness.
This il an astounding discovery OF this
tunnel-projector. who is the rdrd arts OF
Nevada. II may be that Mr.. Sutro IL
running his tunnel in the ground with
out n chance Of ever arriving at its com
p~letion, unless he becomes a Senator,
and that is not likely. The day may be
fast approaching when the people OF this
coast shall consider Mr.. Sutro, with his
optical instruments. TO be an ingenious
fraud. What, il may he inquired, is tn,
effect OF Mr.. Sutro's optical discoveries
They are silently inspiring the people OF
Storey county to support Mr.. Sharon,
who, by their suffrage in the election OF
n suitable and honest Legislature, will
undoubtedly be sent to the U. s. Senate.
This will be the result. All the weapons
Of magical construction that Mr.. Sutrc
and his Tunnel Company can bring in
force against Mr.. Sharon are only the
clamor OF his enemies, OF as arrows that
are shot at him from n distance, making
only a Gathering, but doing no execution.
In a political sense, Mr.. Sharon's cour.
age may be regarded rs that Of n gencr.
GUS mastiif that can hear the barking OF
a thousand ours without taking notice OF
any OF them. Sharon is marching on.
From his energy and tact he commands
the respectful attention OF the people.

LFrom the Register, Aug. ~

Last Sunday, during the Indian fan
dango at this place, about twenty OF the
braves dressed in their breech-cloths and
war paint visited the depot when the
Western bound train came in, and went
through the gyrations Of n war dance,
for the amusement Of the crowd. IL
happened that a company OF soldiers
were aboard, ON their way TO Arizona 10
fight Indians. When the Captain saw
these braves he came rushing out, and
in brsathless anxiety inquired OF the
crowd "if those red devils were on the
war path, IL they were he would turn his
men loose on them" Taking into o n
sidsration that the platform at the de-
pot was crowded with women and chill
| drcn who paid no attention to them, ex-
| cept 10 laugh at their antics, the absurd
ity Of the fighting Captains eager in-
quiries ARE made painfully apparent.
When he arrives in Arizona he will pro-
badly learn that Indians. when ON the
var-path, do not make a circus Of them
selves to gaping crowds at railway sta
tons.
Some yillainous scoundrel placed
about twenty ties upon the railroad track
last Tuesday, about two miles above
winnemucca. The obstruction was
placed in a curve so that it would have
been impossible for the engineer to
discover IL until too late TO stopthe train.
The train was tagged and stopped by a
| young fellow who said he was trying TO
make his way to Ogden on foot. The
engineer thinks the fellow put the ties
ON the track and then stopped the train,
thinking the company would give him a
free ride to Ogden for his kindness.
Mr.. Clarkson, Superintendent OF the
winnemucca and Idaho Telegraph line,
had his pockets rifled last Tuesday even
ing. Ho occupied n room on the first
floor at the Lafayette Hotel. He raised
the window before retiring, and then
threw his clothes across q trunk sitting
under the window. During the night
some ~burglarious individual relieved his
pockets of all their contents. He lost
$50 in coin, apocket knife and a set OF
valuable shirt studs-the thief has not
yet been detected.
