THE "STAATS ZEITUNG,"
What 1Ir, Hesing's Organ says CT the
Result,

The Illinois Staats Z,itaag of yesterday
morning published the election returns
unGer the following startling headlines:
Haunted Down (which probably was in
tended for bounded DOWN. The Lie Vic
toriousl" "The People of Chicago in Fa-
vor of Scoundrels and Revenue Swim
dlers!" Following is the narrowing iu-
PRODUCTION to the returns:
"The lie has achieved it's end Rascality
has won the victory! A. c. Hesing is
stricken down! The man who threw him.
self into the breach for his countrymen has
been torsaken by his countrymell By a
great number of them at least!
Many Germans believed the infamous
lies Of the scoundrels Medil and Storey,
and large number, if not majority,
voted for a revenue defrauder. The Irish
also helped him, for if they did not vote
tor Huck they gave their sufrages to his
confederate Kelley: who who was bought
out at Washington.
The following editorial which appeared
In the same paper, is supposed to express
Mr.. Hesing feelings in regard to the re
suit:
The reports of the election for treasurer
OF Cook county, so far as they are now be-
fore US, show that while the so called Re-
publican candidate, supported by the
American Know Nothings and ''muckers,"
| has no absolute majority of the all the
votes, he nevertheless has a greater mum
Der OF votes than any single opposing can
didate. The Irish traitors who voted for
the miserable and contemptible hireling
keeley have thereby declared in favor of
the American Know Nothings. That this
! dishonorable treason to the Germans will
not be reckOned against the individual
voters who gave their suffrages to Kelley
| (for how could these be discovered?) but
against lrishmen in general, is easily con-
ceivable, and under existing circumstances
natural, Such a combination as there was
two years ago cannot again be spoken Of
the remembrance of the despicable betray
al Of yesterday will not readily permit a
return of mutual confidence. And the
tact that a large number, the most solid
and honorable Irishmen. remained true to
the flag will not alter the effect produced
by the vote at yesterdays election.
Looking back upon the last two weeks
we must say that such bitter and excit-
ed election contest was never before ex-
perieDced in Cook county. So far as it
could be done through the newspapers, the
most horrible times of the Know Nothing
agitation of 1854 have. on the part of the
Americans, been coniured up. If outside
German sheets. which have not seen the
local English papers and the German
American evening paper. think the Ian
guage employed in these columns was per
haps too coarse and fOrcible they may rest
assured that our language has been un
speakably mild, moderate, and decent
compared with the unutterabie abomina-
bleness and vileness of that used by sheets
opposed to US. AMI. as rough as the tone
might be in which we we're compelled
to speak to our opponents. we are
not aware of having said anything the

election, as thoroughly convinced as we
