The result Of the election yesterday.
though far from what had been anticipated
by the friends OF the Republican party,
is in no WY a discouragiug circumstance.
The Democratic party pandered for the
rum vote and thus secured maiorities in
the cities. which give the iirst returns q
rather bad appearance; but when the
temperance country outside is heard from.
the returns will be materially changed.
According to present returns, Connor
will be elected by 5000 majority.

For ways that are dark and tricks APP
parently not all vain, the gentleman In
terested in "crookedp whisky, be he su-
pervisor, collector, gauger. store-keeper
distiller or dealer, is peculiar. In Mil
waukee, for instance, number of dis
tillers declared that they had brewed
only peck of malt, where there were
strong suspicious for the belief that O
bushel was nearer the figure, and forti-
fed themselves by referring to the grain
dealers with whom they dealt. The grain
dealers were notified TO produce their
books, and promised to do so, when, 10
a mystery. In one day thieves descend
ed on seven grain warehouses, found all
of them unguarded, opened the safes and
carried off the books of the seven grain
dealers, scorning to molest articles more
valuable and portable, as cash boxes and
the like. In each instance all the prln'
cipals and clerks had gone out simulta,
neously for the first time on record, and
in no instance were the thieves discov'
cred. Nay, they even had the instinct
to carry away no books that had no bear
ing on the transactions with the whisky
distillers AS the younger Mr.. Weller
would say, these are extraordinary and
wonderful condolences.

THERE is hope for Louisiana. A few
days ago we told of the indictment Of
that Christian statesman, Auditor Chas
Clinton, for embezzlement and other
Radical pastimes, and now comes the
news of the indictment of 0. f. Hun
sacker, some time State Senator and a
shining Radical light, for forgery. Mr.
Thompson, colored, Justice of the Peace
for Algiers, is under indictment for en-
bezzlement and extortion in office. Dave
Young, also colored, and formerly Rep
resentative from Concordia Parish, was
recently indicted for somewhat similar
practices, and there must be fully dozen
petty officers, in various parts of the
State, in similar plight. Really, if things
continue at this rate, or, better still, il
the Democrats get possession of the Offices
out of which they have been cheated, be-
fore long the penitentiary of Louisiana
will contain the entire Radical party of
Louisiana.-N. Y. World.
