The Elections.

The following is summary of the
election news received at Madison up
to three o'clock p. m. on Thursday:
In Wisconsin, Ludington { Rep }
is elected Governor by about $500
majority; Kuehn (Dem.) is probably
elected Treasurer, while the balance
of the State ticket is in doubt. The
Senate will probably contain 10 Re-
publicans, l2 Democrats and two indie
pendents, while the Assembly, through
unpopular nominations in some strong
Republican districts, will probably
have small Democratic majority.
In New York the Republicans have
made tremendous gains, leavinaa the
State ticket in doubt, but carrying
the Legislature by large majority.
Pennsylvania has gone Republican
by from 10000 to 10000, thus, we
hope, putting qu;etus to the imitation
heresy.
Massachusetts, Minnesota and New
Jersey have also gone Republican
by fair majorities, and the county cleo.
tons In Illinois show largely in
creased Republican vote.
Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi
have gone Democratic.
Taken altogether, the results Of
Tuesdays elections, are.vely satisfactory
to Republicans. and indicate that we
will elect our President next year by a
good majority.

TIE Grasshoppers this year seem to
have been blessing in disguise. They
avaged the fields Of Kansas and Ne
raska,and destroyed the first planting
of corn, just as it began to look prom
Using. This compelled the farmers to
replant, later than usual, but just in
time to hit the season, and the result
is crop of corn, more abundant and
of better quality, than has ever been
produced in those States. And now a
new reason FOR thinking the grasshop-
pers destroyed better than they knew
has been discovered. A reporter Of the
Kansas City Times noticed in the
stock yards of that city greater pro-
portion of COWS and heifers than was
ever seen in them in any previous sea-
son. lie inquired Of cattle dealers the
reason ofthis, and was told that when the
gras~hoppers appeared in the fall of
1874, the supply of winter feed was
destroyed and the COWS were generally
barren in the spring. The abundant
pasturage this summer and autumn
has kept them in splendid condition
for beef, and the prices being excel
lent they have been shipped to mar
ket along with other beef cattle.
The growers are reaping a harvest of
greenbacks, and although it is feared
they will override the business, and
ship so close as to reduce production
of cattle next year, yet they will have
the means to restock without the ex-
pense of commencing over. So the
grasshopper is not so much of bur-
den as he Cincinnati CONNER
cidl.

THE BLACK HILLS.
What Prof. Jenney Found,

w udG IIOAs ShhCy OooSs
Prof. Walter P. Jenny, chief of the
Geological Expedition to the Black
Hills, and assistants, returned to Chey~
enne, having spent five months in the
Black Hills and made quite thorough
examination of the whole country and
mapped it from Belle Fourche to the
south fork of the Cheyenne river.
He reports gold fields extending forty
miles from Harneys Peak twenty miles
wide, that contain gold in quantities
that will pay from three to five dollars
per day to the man, and there are bars
on number of the streams that will
pay much more than that. The water
supply is ample for working purposes,
and the fall sufficient to carry water
from the top of most of the bars and
allow tailings to be readily disposed of.
The gold is coarse scale gold, easily
separated from the gravel and sand.
The Prof. has with him an ounce Of
corase gold that two men obtained ON
Spring Greek with ten hours labor.
An assay Of this gold shows it to be
nine hundred and forty-three cents in
coin to the ounce. Prof. Jenny cor
roborates Gen. Clusters report of the
Hills, and says they will support
thousands of miners when the Govern
ment opens them to settlement. The
valleys are all adapted to agriculture,
and the hills and canyons 70 stock rails
ing. The rainfall is plentiful and the
timber abundant. The official report
will be made from New York, probably
before Congress meets,

ANsLEY GRAY.
He was Guilty of Most Contempt-
IDLE Electioneering Trick.

He was Guilty of Most Contempt
ible Electioneering Trick.
AS our readers are we'll aware, we
have opposed the election of Ansley
Gray to the Assembly pretty squarely
ever since his nomination. We have
done this mainly because we believed
that his youth and inexperience rem
dered him unfit for the position, and
We had hoped that when the campaign
closed, however the result might be5
re should have no occasion to speak
of Mr. Gray otherwise than as gen.
tleman. In this, however, it seems We
were to be disappointed, it having
come to light here, yes erday, that Ans
ley Gray had had printed and secretly
circulated, in the towns along. the
river, just before the election, cir
cular Of which the following is copy:
TAX PAYERS,
READ THIS
You are urged to vote for JosEnH BEN
NETT, BECAUSE He IS MAN OF PROPERTY"
RENDER that to INCREASE TIE VALUE OF
HIS PROPERTY IN THE VILLAGE OF DaDGEvILLE,
he introduced before the County Board a
resolution fer building the new Jail in
that village at cost TO the tax payers OF
Iowa county of $4,000.
lie then had himself appointed Chairman
so that he could HANDLE THE MONEY
20 The records show he that voted five times
5aInst Resolution to build cheap fire
proof Offices to cost $4,000. and which
would have answered for years.
ANSLEY GRAY,
Is pledged to ECONOMY AND RETPENcrsy FNT
AND TO SUPPORT THE POTTER LAW.
The circulating of the above circular
In the manner in which it was done
shows Dir. Gray to be political trick
ster Of the meanest class. He did no
dare to make the charges and insinua.
tons it contains openly; he knew they
were false from beginning to end, ex
cept in SO far as they relate to Mr.
Benefits having voted against
the cheap Offices but he sneaked
around privately and attempted
to deceive the unwary into voting
for him, by such vile ISLANDERS
against man whose character stands
entirely above reproach wherever he
is known. IF the people, as it appears
at present, have elected Mr.. Gray to
the Assembly, they certainly have
good reason to fear for the credit OF
the district; for person who would
resort to such trick as the above
would be 10th to stop at anything by
which he could further his ends,

twas when the pale moon rode on high
In soft resplendent light
In beauty deck ing earth and sky
: And the dark brow of night,
l wandered musing, forth, awhile,
Until came at last
Upon ruined moss-grown pile,
A relict of the past.
For centuries those walls had stood
With ivy covered DER;
Behind them CLEANED somber wood,
deep, dark lake before.
Oh, have have loved when but child
To wander lone and free,
And Natures scenes sublime and Wild,1
Here oftenest sought by me. s
But Natures scenes howe'er sublime
Can meier inspire that dread
Like some old ruin left by time,
MementoeS of the dead
The hall, where round the festal board.
Oft met the fair and brave,
Where merry song and wine were poured,
Is silent as the grave.
But guests shall fill these rooms no more,
The Jewellers have fled
They who those proud halls thronged of ore
Lie Wondering with the dead.
And longer years will pass awayA
And yet twill stand in GLOOM
While those who watched its slow decay
Are Wondering i'll the tomb.
