POLITICAL NOTES.
THE ELECTION.

The. .alaet;on in this town on Tuesday
La, - rother a tame affair. There was
,o-o.ron;zation. we think, Of either party
and about all the interest that centered
n if was upon the vote for member oil
Congress. There was however, rally
made by the Democracy, both wet and
d-v to secure the election of William Il.
p1bbard 10 the Office of Justice of the
peace. and he succeeded by running ahead
of his ticket. Gen. Garfeld's vote was
well up to what was expected by his
sriends. His gain was nearly equal to his
loss so that he fell but seven below the
full Republican vote. This, considering
the effort that had been made all around
ms embracing tie flooding of every door
ward in town with Sun extras, is not very
bad. The vote was as follows:
For JUsrIcEs-REPUBIIcAN.

It's to be regretted that Mr.. Krum was
defeated as he is one of our very best and
most substantial men, and his acquaint-
ance with legislation, his clearness OF
mind and rigid integrity, fitted him in
an erainent manner for the office We
however congratulate our Harbor friends
unop securing a Justice for their locality.
They will be enabled to have their neigh
borhood unpleasantnesses and settle them
up among themselves without their neigh
bors knowing it
Tie vote for member of Congress stood
as follows:

The full vote cast was 586-the piurah-

was 8e6-and the majority 80
The result of the election in this State
is anything but pleasant. The Republ-
cans are beaten, and the State completely
reYolutionized. The vote has been light,
of course. or such thing could not have
otherwise happened. The Republicans
had comparatively little stomach for vot-
ing under the burdens that some of their
leaders had placed upon their shoulders
The phenomena is presented OF a great
party. whose patriotic deeds furnish the
brightest page in our political history
and the freshness of which IS scarcely
yet dimmed by time, giving way and suf.
fering an utter route by broken, dis
tracted and demoralized enemy, which
has been for years on the ragged edge o.
dissolution-bankrupt in hope and repu-
tation-showing the truth of the maxim
that prosperity enerYates, and that change
and revolution is as inevitable, if not as
needful, in the political as in the natural
world. But moralizing aside, the Democ,
racy have got US under, and we have
nothing to do but TO submit, for the pres
ent, but never give up. Let US pick oul
aints and try again.
