We have just returned from the state

give you a description of my trip is
the sole excuse we have for writing
you again 50 soon This was our first
trip into the interior Of this state, and
we are much surprised as we'll as
pleased with what we saw. We left
Detroit at $40 p. m on the Detroit,
Lansing and Lake Michigan Road;
the distance TO Lansing being So miles.
We arrived there at 7;l0; so much
only for speed. The d. L. & L, NJ.

through very level piece Of country,
not even a hillock to mar the even
plain-from this distance to the inte-
rior the land is rolling but in no in
stance rising high enough TO be digni-
fed with the name Of hill. The
weather was so cold that fire was
built in the car and also in the rooms
Of the hotel at Lansing, and these hot
stoves were a decided comfort The
atmosphere was smoky and we could
not but contrast the hay and con

JuBILArINo.--We neglected to chron-
icle heretofore the jubilation on election
night in our town. Itseems when 1t was
known Mr.. Braden was elected Mayor,
Webb chosen Marshal and Henry Wise
the Solicitor; and, in fact, the Republi-
can city ticket mostly successful-we say,
when this was known, a rousing bonfire
was kindled in the square and quite a
crowd of Republicans, old and young,
gathered around and much joy was mani
fested--all of which was quite natural,
as this result was unusual and hardly ex-
pejted.
Among those jubilating on the occa-
sion was Mr. Hugo Preyer, of the Stats
Zeituag. He was one of the prominent
characters and, we learn, seemed to en-
Joy it hugely. The crowd hoisted Mr..
Preyer on their shoulders and shouted
over him Justify as they carried him
about. Louschaefer and Preyer thought
they had done it, and both felt elevated
accordingly. Mr.. Schaefer was not pres
ent, otherwise he would have shared with
Mr., Preyer this lofty Republican honor!
At that time he was cavorting about, say
ing to his Repository Republican friends
"ditn't l teltiyou, tings was workin' and
wet gif em hale?"
We will say that Mr.. Preyer was not
the first John Donkey elevated on human
shoulders

A few days before the Connecticut
election. the Meg Haven RsB8shedRe, OF
that State startled its readers by an
Rouncing that it should support the
Democratic State ticket. In giving his
reasons Tor doing SO Mr.. Wiegand
SchleiO. the editor, says that the coming
election Siii be Of special importance to
the working classes, in view of the stag
na,ioA Of industry which the Republican
party has done aothing to remove. He
continues:
The principles Gflhe Republican par
ty, as established and carried out from
1860 to 1868. could not have been better,
but since Giants administration came
in, the wOysl political elements have been
thrust into power. and nothing but a
thorough wedding out of the same will
ever restore the country to its former
prosperity. Therefore il is highly neces-
sary thai the Republican party at this
time should receive a reminder to re-
Aect. The much needed reform can be
had Only when the German Republicans
cast their rotes for such Democratic can
slidates as are kaoru to be men Of honor

Ex-MAYoR SHIELDS retired from office
as Mayor of our city on Tuesday last,
being succeeded by Mr.. Braden. 1t is
due to exiMayor Shields to say that dur
ing the four years he has been in office
our citizens generally of both political
parties have approved of his administers
ton of our city affairs. Two years since,
when up for reelection, he was success
ul by some two hundred majority. This
emphatic endorsement of his official ca
reer was highly hattering when we con
slider the fierce opposition he encountered
at that time. We take pleasure in say
ing that Mr.. Shields, during the four
years he acted as Mayor of Canton, up
held and enforced the laws, thus main
tanning good order within the limits Of
the city. AT all times also and on all
occasions he remembered that quality OF
mercy that should ever Sc ison legal JUS
tice.
Mr.. Shields will now apply himselfex-
clusively to the practice Of his profession,
and we can cheerfully recommend him
as a gentleman of good legal ability. and
well worthy of all confidence.
