Chjldren's Songs.
BY LETTA LINDOWER.

BY LETTA LINDOWER.
After learning to lisp few broken
baby words, a childs' next effort is to
learn to sing, to initiate the mothers
gentle lullaby. The 6rst attempt is
only a series Of dove-like COOS; then,
mayhap, the little ones own name,
coupled with endearing Titles; next,
"Mother Goose melodies" ore essayed,
and then Happy Land" and II want
to be an Angel" are attempted, with
greater affort and wondrous success.
How the eyes Of tho sweet child
sparkle at the mead Of praise, and the
moist red lips fashion themselves again
to sing just one verse more for ''desr
Grandpa" or the uncle who has come
from over the sea with wonderful box
full Of wonderful things, for SOMEBODY'S
pet if she will sing!
Oh those happy days Of carly child
hood! Well may little children lift
their tuneful voices in songs of praise,
pure as the breath Of heaven; from
hearts that know no guile. All chill
dren's songs lay with the prayers Of the
saints-very near the great loving
heart Of the Father. May the sweet
lays Of our childhood, the echoes Of
which are still sounding ia our esrs,
though the years are many that lay be-
tween, draw W near and still nearer to
that throne to which they have as
ceuded as pure offerings Of our carly,
si4less days!
Let the children sing. All! yes ;
teach them the purest, sweetest notes
Of praise. Call from our hearts all
blest purest thoughts aud aspirations,
and fashion them to verse and melody,
that little children may chant them
forth, aud perchauce learn one small
lesson more OF human life ; and when
he who said Suffer little children to
come unto u'e," gathers the little ones
in bis arms. they may lisp into his ears
a tender, pure thought Of ours, that
mny make glad even the heart OF
Christ.

IT is with modest satisfaction that we
announce to our readers the success of
the Republicad ticket. Although we
have not complete official returns, enough
is known to assure US of an average ma
jority of fully 400 votes. Some men,
hers Of the ticket have greater majorities
and others less. Probably Mr.. Howe
the candidate for Register will fall far
thest behind. He was the principal. Job
ject Of attack. His acts as County CON-
missioner, upon some questions, affecting
either localities, or individuals, had in
several instances tended to create hostile
feeling, but j: may be said justly Of him,
that, however he may have seemed to 3be
influenced in the discharge of official
duties, his whole course has been cxcep-
tionably upright and conscientious. The
people will have no occasion to regret
his election,-nor indeed that of any 9TH
or man on the ticket. The whole corps,
is conspicuous for ability, special fitness
and purity of character, and the voters
Of this county have exhibited remarka
bly, good sense by the hearty support
which they have given to the only de-
stiuctively political party Of the age,
That the principles and the management
OF the TRANSCRIPT, have been so signally
approved by the recent election, is a
matter Of profound satisfaction to US,
which we do not affect to conceal. In a
contest for right, the appreciation Of the
masses is something tor which we arc
exceedingly grateful, and We tender GU,
acknowledgements for the generous CO.
operation which was given us at the
polls.

Late Elections.

In nearly MI the States holding
Election last Tuesday the Democrats
have made great gains and in many Of
them their victory has been complete
So great has been the revolution that
whereas the present Congress is repub-
lican by very decisive majority, the
next will be wholly under the control
Of Democrats. They will be able not
only to elect Speaker. but to form
committees, and generally to direct and
give complexion to the legislation of
the House. The Senate will still TO-
main republican and of course valu-
able salty valve for the control Of the
superauous steam which the House may
generate. Since the setting in Of thi,
political tide seemed inevitable, it ia
we'll that no temporary 1means delayed
its coming until another year. With
the House Of Representatives managed
two sessions by democrats, and many of
the States by the same political party.
the country will be ready to assume
again the habilimsnts of sanity and to
evoke tho blessings which follow the
exercise Of reason aud discretion. But
for the present political sirocco, the
fate Of the next republican candidate
for President would have been matter
Of speculation-a thing to be argued of
by politicians, until tested by trial ;
but With the surface of the political
empire strowu as it il to-day, with deo,.
ocratio debris there is not only hope
there is reasonable expectation that the
process Of disinfection will bo rapid,
and the restoration Of republican rule
speedy and per manent. What winds
and storms are to the vital elements Of
life and growth, such do political cata-
clysms prove to be in the realm Of civ
il government, and as the former-al-
though sometimes attended with deva.t-
ing inauences-never fail to impart
greater purity, and additional vigor to
physical ex:stence,-so may We expect
that the MISUNDERSTANDING the
temporary curse which It inaicts, will
prove blessing of inestin,able value.

AUSTIN, M1NN.-
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. S, 1874
About Face.

Last fall this county elected the Molli-
son ticket by and average majority of
800 votes. We have In previous numbers
Of tho TRANSCRIPT shown why. To Us,
although the provocation seemed
grcat,-it was not sufficient to justify the
terrible retribution which followed the
attempt Of half dozen, to decide who
should, and who should not be candi-
dates for Office; but whether deserved or
not, the reverse came upon US, and the
lesson which it inculcated has proved ex-
ceedlugly valuable. Everybody knew
that the spasm which seized tho party
last year, was mere incident in its life,
temporary depression from its natural
course, occasioned by an impudent at.
tempt at individual control against which
it rebclled, as naturally as a delicate
stomach retchcs at the exhibition of pois-
on, and that with the cause Of detection
removed. 1t would return to its dominion
again, and continue its pacific and judic
ious reign. Good government, whether
1t DO general or local, is the correct ap.
plicaion of principles, to the regulation
ofpublic affairs. A principle is always
\ truth. It can never, be anything else, be.
cause it is an active element Of creation,
and comes to our perception only as We
penetrate and unravel the mysteries Of in.
unite being. To Ibe perpetual, then it
is necessary that party'be founded upon
these elements. Such is tho basis of tie
Republican party, and although it may
be overcome temporarily, 1t is incapable
Of complete subjugation. Hence to those
who understand the philosophical rela.
ton which Republicanism sustains to
just government, the success Of the
Mollisonitcs brought no fear Of evil conse.
quences. The depression Of wave be-
low the surface Of the sea, elevates cor
responding bulk of water at some distant
point, but the continually operating
force of gravitation ovcrcomes the spas.

some causalty of march, or couuter.march

traitorous design, or some fatality Of con.
tict, may suffer temporary discomfeit

sublime mission !; but time corrects every
error, and vouchcs for the final accom-

light Of this assurance the life Of the Re

the existence Of tree institutions, and it:
usefulness is to be circumscribed only
BY the utmost limit Of human endeavor
What wonder then that the ranks of the
party are again closed up, and its col
umns as proudly defiant as ever:
