AFTER ELECTION.


The people Of this county have again
spoken upon the current political issues,
aud their opinion is on record in the shape
OF . majority IF nearly 600 for the straight
republican ticket. W. are not surprised
Nthc'restlt of the election. Weexpccled
success, because We knew that justice and
truth were on Uurside, and ahx, will, them
su plead the people could not be delutfcd.
Ne arc one Of those who ,kink that per.
ssaal faveritism, aor individual hostility
should have little I" d. in shaping the action
Of the masses. The people rely first upon
their judgment and second upon their in
buttons for guidance in the performance
Of = public duty. The instincts of the
people are rights an old ophorism.
aud one that is generally true. The vic
tory pf the republican party in this coun-
y OYER all factions lit has had no party

itrepreseu.s in Its platform, its candidates.
its record, and its membership. all those
elements which united in the form of gov.
eminent, secure to the greatest degree, the
liberty. the prosperity and the happiness
Of the people. Another reason of its suc-
cess is found in the fact that it has ignor.
ed all individual leadership. 1t recog.
mixes no one man as possessed either Of
authority to dictate or of power to control
the rank and file. 1t has ignored the prac.
sicc Of slate making and adopted the sen.
sible plan Of selecting candidates with re.
ference to their fitness rather than for some
personal advantage which may result from
the choice Of \ particular man,-in fact
the republicans Of this county have learn.
I'd that it Is not only ,hci: right but their
duty 10 attend the primary meetings of the
Ear,y and to give expression to their views
there, and thus secure such conventional
action as they can approve and sustain.
Another thing they have learned to
their advantage, and that is. that =
knot Of politicians in the city of
Austin do not constitute the party. The
people have found out that themselves are
the source Of power and that their own
interests demand that they make proper
Use Of their strength. If,hey will remem.
her this hereafter the county is safe. The
danger to our local interests and t., our
National institutions is found in the ten.
dcucy TO one MAN DOMINATION. When
that is overcome and men are compelled
TO stand upon merit rather than upon an
assumed superiority, many that are now

RosToN, Get. pa year ago last Feh-
saary the balk Jewesa sof Boston, sailed
from New South Wales il the direc,ipn
of Auckland Islands, : group which Hes
in he South Pacihc Ocean, near New.
Zealand. A few days after the R,ston
bark, name Della NJ. Long and an Fog
lish bark, name unknown, followed the
same course. No tidings OF the two Bos-
ton vessels were received in this city ,tilF
recently, when Capt. Bremen, Of Bildc-
ord, Me-, of the bark Marathon, New
York, returning from q voyage around
the world, brought back q terrible story
in rrgar.l TO- them. AT one 0f the ports at
which le1stopped he had fall n In with q
sailor, or some one who knew him, who
purported to he the sole survivor Of the
three crews. The vessel, lie said, had be.
come bccalmed IN the vicinity Of the
Auckland Islands, and laid there together
several days. They were boarded at
night by uannibals, who came in large
numbers, overpowered the crews, plum
dercd the slips, and scuttlet them. The
men were carried prisoners to the shore
and furnished food for the horrible feast
Of their capt"rs. No particulars Of the
light or If the survivors, escape were OBJ.
tanned, but the facts are pretty we'll au-
thenticated, aud the long abscncc of the
vessels furnishes COED ground for bcliev-
ing that the story may be true. The sur
vivor was one Of the crew Of the Jewess,
and he is ssid to have related that the sur
prise was complete, the vessels being some
distance from land, and no signs OF enc
mics having been seen. The usual pre-
caution taken when a ship is bec"ln,ed in
i;.e vicinity OF land Inhabited by savages-
is to drive sharp nails, placed closely IT,
gelher, through boards which are placed
over the decks, and fastened firmly down,
leaving the sharp iron points sticking ur.
1t is then impossible for the oarefooted
savages to step upon the deck, and they
are shot off at lcisarc. This precaution
was not taken on board the Jcwess, the
survivor said, because n" danger was tx.
pected. 1t is understood that Il, ship of
the United States Navy is now stationed
in the South Seas, or within reasonable
distance Of the vicinity where the terrible
tragedy is credited rs having been enxc
ted. The Jewess was nearly 500 ton bur.
den. Capt. Mayo, Of Chelsea, was the
managing owner; and Mark Googins, of
East Boston, Caleb Eaton and Frank Lans
were part owners, Frank Lewis, of East
Boston, was one OF the mates on the three
vessels. There were probably thirty men,
but the names of any cannot be asccr-
tanned, most Of them having been shipped
in foreign ports. Time. will probably
bring to light fuller particulars Of their
horrible fate.

st. Louis Republican Oct. 80. .t...
Some weeks ago the Republican made
mention that movement was on foot
having in contemplation the erection in
this city Of hotel to be the largest in the
world, and that soinc Boston capitalists
were At the bottom Of the enterprise
The Republican Is now enabled to slate
that the negotiation has been concluded
f'r the grounds, the agent Of the parties
having placed his signature to the final
papers yesterday.
The hotel grounds will lie located on
the old homestead property belonging to
Daniel r. Garrison, situated on the south
east corner OF Grand and Page avenues,
and covering ~ arpcnts--ab ut 4 acres
of ground. Tue mammoth structure to
be erected on this ground will be called
the "Hotel Grande." 1t will have trc::;
age on Page avenue Of 400 feet, and on
Grand avenue of 800 feet, tic space occu.
pied covering 10000 square feet, being
Of mucl. larger exte,,, than the San Fran
cisco hotel, considered the largcs, in the
world, which covers only $4,000 square
feet: fhe next largcs, hotel in tho world
is the Grande Hotel If Paris, which has
ninety-s'x rooms more thak Sharon and
Ralst"n's, Of SIN Francisco.
The ST. Louis structure will contain q
GOO rooms, as originally contemplated,
but, owing 10 the fact that the ground area
will have length Of 100 fee, more than
at first proposed, in consequence of the
additional space acquired, the height will
not have rs many stories as originally dc.
signed. There will be elegant facades on
each of the four sides. bu, the grand en-.
trance will BE- on Page avenue.
The interior court will have a demen-
sion Of $50 by $50 feet In the centre Of
the court will be a splendid fountain, with
four smaller fountains on the corners and
the rest Of the space will consist of con
servatory embracing exotic and native
plants. The plans and specifications arc
in the hands Of the architect, and when
fully elaborated Il description more in de-
tail will be given.
The parties having control Of the mat
ter propose to get in readiness to begin the
erection OF this mammoth hotel in tile
spring, and it is expected to have it com.
plctrd 80 a. to be opened tor guests by
Sept. /, 1877.
The cost Of the hotel, independent of
furniture, will he nearly $2,000,O00.
