The elections Of Tuesday have
proved more disastrous TO the Re-
publican party than even their en-
versaries anticipated. CASTOR, the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
Massachusetts, is elected by over
1000 majority. The remainder of the
Republican State Ticket is elected.
Of the eleven Congressmen elected,
six are Republicans. four Democrats,
and one Independent. Banks, from
the 9TH District, over Gcoch by q
majority of 5,91S. Ben Butler and
DR.. Aver were both defeated. The
Legislature will stand as follows:
neutrality-suspicious., "a; Demo
Gratis, 16; House-Republicans, 151 /;
Democrats, So. The Council will be
six Republicans to two Democrats.
Many other States have gone Demo-
cratic, but the results there are not so
uprising as in the Republican strong
hold of Massachusetts. In New York
the democrats have elected Tilden
for Governor over Dix, by majority
of about $4,000, and also have elected
q majority of the Congressman from
that State as well as q majority in the
State Legislature. Tennessee, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana
and Delaware have been carried by
the Democrats. Alabama, Rhode
island, Kansas and Nevada are Re
publican. In quite number of the
States holding elections, the contest
was SO close that at the date of oul
writing the result has not been ascer
tanned.

Notes from the Hub.
MONTPELIER, Oct. 80.


The fight in the 2nd District is as
suming huge proportions, and the sub
strata of secrecy is fast coming to
light. The whispers that Poland was
going IN for il again, are now loud
voices raised almost detlantly. These
ominous whisperings are now certain
voices, and men know how to act.
Consequently resolution was almost
unanimously adopted, to adjourn from
Saturday until Tuesday, P. NJ, for
all believed that here was a question
of principle, of right, to say nothing
of morals that all right-thinking men
wished TO see permanently established,
that is, to let the Uoice of the people
be heard, to let the people elect their
own officers and judge of their merits,
and not for any man to elect himself,
to use vulgarism, "to suck the pub
lie teat." Some men have peculiarly
strong jaws and are very tenacious OF
their grab in this direction and when
they lose their hold, over they 60
with variety Of summersaults, and
land in the mud, and some of them
can never brush it off.
Saturday was lonesome day, moi
more than fifty members present, a
little business and adjournment was
the order of the day.
Tuesday, Nov. 3d.-About thirty
members present this forenoon, and
nothing done. Many members went
into the I'd District ito see the fun"
Wednesday, Oct. 4.-The war is
over. Poland is again very forcibly
reminded that his services are not
needed, and that when the people
want him they Will call doubtless he
will be very quick to hear, for his class
have very sensitive ears, and are al
ways listening. Republicans rejoice
in Buffers defeat, but are surprised
at the result in the State.
Bills came pouring in this morning
by the deluge, for by joint resolution
no bills can be introduced after the
10th. Among the number was One

remove the Capitol there. 1t author
ICES the city Of Burlington to raist

vantage is taken of the presen
crowded condition of tue Capito
house. A bill is now before the House
to enlarge it, and asks for an appro
priation of 100000 to do the job
The probable object is to defeat al

The Result in Massachusetts.

1t is scarcely worth while for us 70
draw pen photograph Of Tuesdays
battlefield in Massachusetts. 1t is a
victory Which is not without its draw
backs for the victors. 1t is q defeat
not without its consolation for the de-
feated. The Republicans demorilized
the Republican party. The Dem
ocrattc organization was made SER
yiccable 10y the dissatisfied Repub-
iicans, and by forming combinations,
The Republican car, which has so long
run over the course, was thrown from
the track. 1t is significant over
throw in many senses, but it does not
mean that the old Democratic party
has taken even a temporary lease of
power in Massachusetts. Thousands
Of Republicans voted Tuesday with
the Democrats because they were dis
satisfied with grievances which are
mhinly the outorowih of Bdtlerlsm.
This feeling in itself is sufficient to
account for the change that has taken
place. When we couple with this the
special objections which thousands
urge against all sumptuary laws, we
have TIE leading causes of the rout.
That the result is disastrous to the
Republican organization as National
party, it would be folly to deny. The
loss Of congressman from whatever
cause it may have arisen is most dam
aging, especially in view Of the vic
tories accomplished by the opponents
of the Administration in other States.
That it denotes important changes in
the political future Of the country is
certain. We trust that events may
so shape themselves that those who
have taken part in the political revo-
luton may not have themselves to
blame for evils to which the country
is liable from so radical q change.
The failure Of some Of our Con.
gressmen to secure an election
is to be regretted. That Gener.
81 Butler and Dir. Aver were rejected
is something gained. Their defeat
will purify the political atmosphere
Especially is this true of Genera
Buffers district. Having taken thai
stronghold BY storm, the people have
submitted to him till they made theil
noble effort and overthrow him. Tn
fortunately for the State, neither Mr.

The Highway Question.

The present legislature is expected !
to do something 10 protect towns
from the har,lships of the present
forms of highway legislation, and to
render impossible the frauds and i'm
positions practiced under our highway
law, which are the common experience
of almost every town in the State.
The whole question has been freely
discussed in the papers of the State,
and the popular demand Cor some rad
ical change is strong.
There is no doubt but that tie pres
ent system can and ought TO be I'M
proved upon, bat there always is dan
ger in passing from an old and we'll
settled policy to . new and untried
one, either in answer to popular
clamor, or Oh account Of manifest
evils in the old system, We should
deprecate an attempt to remedy an
evil in one place, which would intiict
greater one in another.
The exact responsibilities Of towns
in regard to the suliiciency of their
highways, have never been too strong
| ly marked out by our courts, and
cases of gross negligence on their
part have never been too severely
panished, and we suppose no one
would advocate a diminution of these
responsibilities. The evil of the old
system seems to have arisen from the
fact that there was no legal way to
compel towns to perform the duties
arising from their acknowledged re-
sponsbilities, except as they suffered
punitive damages in private suits,
and so the bill introduced in the
Senate, few days since, by Senator
Walton, provides a legal way Of
making towns do their duty.
The provisions of the bill, so fan
as they do this, are important an(
necessary.
Yet, while towns and other corpor
atoms have rights as we'll as duties
} it would not be perhaps wise plan
for the individual citizen to give
away entirely his own right, in thu
exercise of due care and prudence, t.
travel in reasonable safety from TIN
dangers of neglected and insufficient
highway. Nor again, would it b.
7 just to shift the responsibility fror
f the corporation to the individual, O
to make the citizen respon:ible 70
the negligence of the town, or it
officials. We need larger and NOR
| imperative responsibility for OIL
! towns, and simple and quick metho
of enforcing it. We need a NOR
ample protection from all kinds Of in
position. We need less litigatio
and less necessity for it an
8 if this bill accomplishes these object:
we hope it may pass-otherwise no
AT any rate, we would recommend
, to the careful attention Of every leg
islator, and urge that if any chang
t is made, it will be such that we sha
have every interest protected, an
5 not be obliged to expunge hasty legiS
lation from Ger statutes after tw
years of unsatisfactory experiment.
