QY~ The Connecticut election has
terminated in favor of the Democracy
That party has reelected Gov. lnger-
soil by about 1000 majority, a Demo
cratic Legislature, and three Con-
gressmen out of four.
Cincinnati has elected a Democratic
Mayor, Johnson beating old John Ro'
binson, the Circus man, 5000 ajority
Cleveland and Columbus ditto. The
rest Of the cities and towns in Ohio
are about equally divided.
Old Bill Allen and ola Ben. Wade
are going to run the race for Governor
of Ohio next fall.
Michigan has gone Republican by
$4,000 majority.
Gov. Hartranft Of Pennsylvania il
for Blaine for President.
Cameron is in doubt.
The Washington RepuJltcan, th'
Presidents organ, is attacking Blaine
and in favor Of the Third Term.
1t seems highly probable that Gen
f. G. Latrobe viii he nominated as the
next Democratic candidate for Mayor
Of Baltimore.
All efforts to remove Washington
Booth from the Collectorship Of the
Port of Baltimore, have proved un
awaiting.
The Prudential contest in 1876 bids
fair to be a close race.
aay- A Georgia paper say: that i
Blaine is nominated for the prcsiden
cy in 1876 by the Republicans, the
Democrats will select Judge David
Davis, Of the Z. S. Supreme Court tc

enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all
who knew her. Her counsels were always
OF peaceful character and directed to secure
the best ends. lIcr picty was always con-
sistcnt with the principles of christianity
and as such her life was devoted to great
interest in the church. She was n kind
friend of the ministers of the gospel OF
every denomination, her house being n
ministerial home. Her devotion to the
church always manifested itself with an
ardor and attention that was worthy OF
her high calling. Her duties were regular
ly performed, until within the past two
years, when the infrmites of old age pre-
vented her from giving them attention in
the church. The home sanctuary, how
ever, was kept up until her death. Her
remains We're inferred in the Apple S

A SYSTEM Of gross frauds upon the
Postoilice Department, has ust been
discovered at Washington, The prin'
cipals were two men named Kettle
and Hines, the latter being the newly
APPOINTED United States Marshal fol
Alabama. Their accessories were q
number Of clerks in She Department
whom they had bribed. Their mode
OF proceeding was TO have their hired
aids abstract from the Department
bids for mail letting and substitute for
them bids at lower figures, with a
view of obtaining the contracts. A
false seal, which was obtained through
the connivance Of clerk, and the use
CT fictitious names, was a part OF the
nlan. The Government loses nothing,
as the fraudulent contracts have been
promptly annulled.

VOLUME V.

With this issue, the CLARION enters
upon the fifth year Of its existence.
And it affords us a satisfaction to be
able to state that we arc in flourish
ing and progressive condition. We
are satisfied that our efforts in jour
nalism are appreciated-not only
from the many tlattering compliments
we have received during the past few
months that the present editor has
been in charge of the paper, but from
the substantial money patronage which
We have received. And as this mas
been the case in the past, we still hope
to merit a continuance Of the same by
a close and particular attention to
business.
At this tins, too, we think it proper
to say to all delinquents on our sub
scription books, and all persons know
ing themselves indebted in any way
to this office, that we shall expect an
early call for settlement.
1t is with much pleasure upon this
occasion that we can state the rapid
recovery Of the proprietor Of the
CLARION from his late severe illness.
Although yet somewhat feeble, he is
able to be out OF doors in pleasant
weather; and has been composing many
items during the past few days. The
perfect restoration Of his health may
soon be looked for.

That would have operated injuriously
