"a Magnificent Conception Won
derJuly Carried Out.

TNIIE necessity of popular medium for the rep
resentation Of the productions Of our great art
lists. has always been recognized, and many at
tempts have been made to meet the want. The
successive failures which SO invariably followed
each attempt in this country to establish an art
Journal did not prove the indifference Of the peo
pie OF America to the claims OF high art So soon
as a proper appreciation OF the want and an abl-
ity to meet it were shown, the public at once
rallied with enthusiasm to its support and the re-
suit was great artistic and commercial triumph
THE ALDINE while issued with all the regu-
larity has none Of the temporary timely interest
characteristic OF ordinary periodicals 1t is an
elegant miscellany OF pure, light, and graceful
literature and collection Of pictures, the rarest
specimens of artistic skill, in black and white.
Although each succeeding number affords fresh
pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty
of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it
is bound at the close of the year. While other
publications may claim superior cheapness. as
compared with rivals Of a similar class, THE AL
DINE is unique and original conceptlon-alone
and approached-absolutely without competi-
ton in price or character. The possessor OF a
complete volume can not duplicate the quantity

The national feature of THE ALD1NE must be
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopoli-
tan. While THE ALDINE is strictly an American
institution it does not confne itself entirely to
the reproduction Of native art. Its mission is to
cultivate broad and appreciative art taste, one
that will discriminate only on grounds or intrinsic
merit. Thus. while placing before the patrons OF
THE ALDINE, as leading characteristic, the
productions of the most noted American artists.
attention will always be given to specimens from
foreign masters, giving subscribers all the pleas

The artistic illustration OF American scenery

appropriate to the satisfactory treatment Of de-
tails than can be afforded by any inferior page.
The judcious interspersion Of landscape, marine,

light and graceful accompaniment, worthy Of the

A Happy Quartette.

The West Union correspondent Of
the Dubuque Herald writes:
Ainsworth wears his honors, "duck
and fox upon him." with unusual
grace and modesty. He seems to be
actively engaged in law matters, and
pursues the even tenor of his way as
though nothing had happened. Hob
son is also happy, if he was not nom
mated for Congress; and it is said
here that he made tip-top speech
at the Ainsworth jubilee. Hobson
said that he rejoiced. Willett said
he rejoiced; and Cooley said he more
than rejoiced. 1t is easy enough to
see how Granger was defeated.

T,e Bnlltti,l,
Tho Elections.

Twenty-four ST. ties held elections
on Tuesday for state officers and
members of Congress. The general
results of the October elections pre-.
pared the public for Republican re.
verses in November; but we scarcely
anticipated such sweeping Demo.
cratic victories as the returns of last
Tuesdays elections in most of the
states indicate. Besides electing theil
state officers in most cases, the Dem
ocrats have elected enough members
OF Congress to secure control of the
lower branch of Congress by from
twenty to thirty majority, and also
gain, as now estimated, six United
States Senators. Some of the changes
are remarkable, if not significant.
Massachusetts elects a Democratic
Governor the first time in twenty
years, and six opposition Congress
men. The one cheering item from
the Bay State is the utter, humiliat-
ing defeat Of Ben Butler for Con-
gress. His defeat is a Republican
vistory, Of which the honest mess of
the party will be proud. New York
elects Tilden, Democrat, for Cover
nor, by large majority, and sixteen
Of the thirty-three members of Con-
gress are Democrats; Democratic
gain of six.
In Pennsylvania the, Democrats
claim to have majority in the Leg
islature, which, if correct, give them
the United States Senator in place of
Scott, Rep. New Jersey, as reported,
elects five Democratic Congressman,
which is a gain of four. The Repub-
icans have probably sustained loss
Of five Congressman in Illinois.
Smith, Farwell, and Ward, Repub-
icans, in the Chicago District are
elected, as is also Hurlburt, in the
4th District, against whom the Chi
cago 7zibalne made it's bitterest fight.
In Delaware, Maryland, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas, the
Democrats claim clear sweep of the
board on Congressman. In Michi-
gan they have probably gained two
or three members OF Congress; in
Tennessee, four; in Virginia, three,
and in Wisconsin, one. These es-
Inmates are from opposition sources
and may be modified a slight degree
in favor of the Republicans, but there
is no wiping out the fact that the
Democratic successes are as complete
as they could reasonably wish or ex-
pect.
These results are not pleasant for
Republican contemplation, but they
are by no means disheartening. They
are not indicative Of permanent dis
asterto the Republican party; nobody
believes that the people of this coun-
try are ready to again place it in the
control of the corrupt and revolutions
airy Democracy, but they show that
party ties hang loosely, and that if
the Republican party would continue
in the confidence of the nation it
must deserve it by being up to its
principles, and placing its seal Of
upon bad men and cor
rupt measures. Defeat now is but
the guaranty Of future glorious tri-
umph, if properly appreciated.

CONVERSATIONAL.

In the senate the Mennonite bill was
taken up and discussed, Senator Stock
ton and others bitterly opposing its
passage. Senator Buckingham intro
duced a bill allowing Indians to become
citizens of the United States. At twenty
minutes past two o'clock, General Bah
cock, private secretary Of the President,
appeared at the bar Of the senate and
announced a message from the President
vetoing the financial bill. The veto
cannot possibly be disposed of this
week, and as Monday had already
been set aside for eHlogies on
the late senator from Massachusetts, it
was moved that the message be printed,
and that it lay on the table, with the
bill, until some day next week; agreed
10. Senator Salisbury then concluded
his argument on the Louisiana bill, after
which the bill was laid aside informally,
with the understanding that it should
come up ss unfinished business to-day,
and the senate proceeded to thecOn-
sideration Of bills on the calendar.
In the house the bill 10 remove the pO-
litical disabilities OF Raphael Semmes
was rejected. Aside from the discus
sion Of the provisions Of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution defining
rights Of citizens Of the United States
IN foreign countries, etc, nothing Of in
terest transpired yesterday.

RACE NOTES.
Movements OF stabIes-FrOm New Or.
leans to Memphis-POOis Next
Week-NashYiIIe.

At the request OF q number of horse
men who have been delayed at New Or
leans by the pOstponement Of the races
there, meeting Of the BiOodhorse assO-
citation will be held at Nashville, to-day,
to consider the question Of setting their
spring meeting back a few days, with a
view to accommodate parties desiring
to attend both the Tennessee meetings.
1t has been the avowed purpose Of the
Nashville association to run their meet
ing at the time advertised, regardless of
wind, weather or floods. But the sober
second thought may suggest the advisa-
bility of fastening slowly just
at this particular juneture. True,
there are horses enough at Nashville to
make good meeting without reference
to stalls to come from abroad. Still it
may not be altogether agreeable to hold
the meeting upon course but recently
arisen from the deep, nor TO be forced to
move to the fair grounds, as it has been
said they would do, rather than post
pone.
No press report of Tuesdays racing
at New Orleans was received. We
learn through a private dispatch, how
ever, that Mr.. Morris won the dash
with Edwin Adams, and Mr.. Jennings,
the two mile and repeat with Silent
Friend.
The races closed at New Orleans yes
terday, and the horses are now all en-
route to Memphis. With no bad luck,
the last Of them will probably arrive on
Monday. The John A. Scudder, with
the stables of Rice, Conner and others,
passed Vicksburg Tuesday, and is, there
fore, due at this port.

TIE ARKANs.s IwnRoGLto.

The news received by telegraph yes
terdsy from Little Rock, is not putt
lished because it is unimPortant, if
We except the call for q meeting Of
the legislature, by Governor Baxter,
to assemble at twelve O'Clock on Mon
day, the eleventh Of May next. Before
taking this step, be corresponded with
the President, who, in answer, said be
heartily approved of any adjustment,
peaceably, Of the pending dificulties,n -
expressing the hope that the troops on
both sides Would be disbanded.
But this, Of course, cannot be
done. Elisha Baxter is governor,
and 1t would not do for him
to disOand his troops until Brooks sends
rs home and retires from the contest,
which is not TO be expected, since it is
part Of his bargain with Clayton and
Dorsey TO do just as be is doing to pre-
vent Democratic success at the next
State election and the possible election
Of Baxter to the United States senate.
SO Baxter will have to keep his men
under arms until the legislature meets,
unless Brooks retires. Meanwhile, the
merchants and business men Of Little
Rock are losing by thousands Of dollars
every day: the people Of the State are
kept in continual ferment Of excite
mfut; popular government is brought
into contempt, and the President Of the
United States is made to play the part
Of a partisan puppet by designing
political knaves, who, if they
had their deserts, would dangle
from the end Of 3 rope. Mcclure is q
disgrace 70 the bench, and deserves the
eXecrsGon Of every decent man, Repub-
iicsn or Democrat, and with Clayton and I
Brooks, should be held to strict ac- 4
countabiity for unnecessary turmoil,
riot, blo0dshed and loss Of property. (
When the Arkansas legislature meets

Brooks, should be the impeachment of
Mcclure and the recall Of Senators

uemnatgry resolutions that can be

PEACEFUL INDIANS.
How They Do Things In that Wonderful
Country for Emigrants, Texas

From the San Saba Texas News Of April 3D.
The ssvages have swept down upon
us again in large force. On last Mon
day night they passed right through the
heart Of town, taking every horse that
was not under lock and key. Between
twelve and fifteen head were taken from
here. The succeeding night they stole
the entire outfit of horses from Mr..
HendersOn's rancho on Wallace creek,
in this county; we have not learned
how many. From the neighborhood Of
Cherokee creek, in this county, num-
Der of horses were also driven Off Six
teen head were stolen from Mr.. John
Latham, on Deer creek, in Mason, near
the line Of this county. The number of
horses taken from this county is esti-
mated at fifty head. Our tOwnsman,
Richard Murray, learned yesterday,
from a Mr.. GateWood, reliable gentle
man from Ellis county, who is out here
buying cattle, that sixty head of horses
were stolen from Mr.. Mann, near
Menardville, in Menard county, where
he had large drove of cattle gathered.
The red devils, forty strong, charged
him and his party, driving them back,
after brief contest, and taking every
horse. The same Mr.. Gatewood al o
reports that a body of Federal troops,
thirteen in number, were attacked and
twelve Of them left dead on the spot.
This Is said to have occurred between
Menardville and Fort Concho. Reports
are also coming in from Lampssas and
Brown counties, stating that large num-
bers of horses were stolen there. Six
teen head were taken from Bulls
rancho, in Lampasas county. Mr..
Gatewood was an eyewitness to the
attack on Mr.. Mann's outfit; the attack
on Federal troops he only gives as
rumor. Mr.. G. is just down from
Mensrd, and was met by Mr.. Murray
somewhere in the country.
