The DIFFERESCE.-If Judge Hubbard had
been reelected, does anybody doubt that his
partisans would have made his opponents fee !
their hum liation to the very utmost' They
would have jollified, and hooted, and yelled, aud
tantilized their opponents upon every occasion.
How is it on the other sidef There has not been
single demonstration to annoy the supporters
of Hubbard-not even in Athison, where the
fight was intensely bitter. Some persons pro-
posed an oyster supper, and jolly time; but
the leading men replied, no; we have beaten
him, and that was all we wanted. Now that he
is down, do not let us exult over him, but give
him chance, and throw nothing in his way of
making living. Even C. w. johnson, who had
most occasion for bitterness, and who had been
abused and insulted by every supporter of Hub
bard, from the opening to the close of the cam
paign, did nothing to insult his fallen foe. The
fight was made for principle and right; that
having been accomplished, the fight against
the man ceased.

Sill In Doubt.

The resuIt of the Presidential election is still
in doubt. and DO immediate prospect of its be-
ing soon decided. The disputed States are soath
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. IF the Repnb-
licans lose either Tilden is elected; bat IT Hayes
carries them all he has majority of one Electo-
raj vote. Every day brings not less than hall
dozen despatches from each State, alternately
positively claiming the success of Hayes and
of Tilden. 1t is becoming monotonons, and the
public are losing interest in it. At the request
of leading men, prominent members of both par
ties in the North have gone to each of the dis
puted States, to counsel quiet and moderation,
and to use their influence TO have fair count.
But whichever way the result may be decided,
there is not the slightest doubt that the honest,
unintimidated vote has carried all three Of the
disputed States for Hayes by large majorities, as
well as Mississippi, North Carolina, and one or
two other Southern States; and violence and
fraud will be used TO decide the three States in
favor of Tilden. Just before the election, a cir
cular cane to light, issued from Tilden's head
quarters in New York, and twenty-five copies
sent to leading Democrats in each Southern State,
urging the necessity of carrying every one OF
those States for Tilden, and exhorting them to
spare no means, even to assassination, to rid the
South of carpet-baggers and their rule. The cir
cnlars have unmistakable marks of genuineness.
Is there any doubt that the advice has been act
ed uponi
If the three disputed States are declared for
Hayes, other means will be resorted TO, TO defeat
the will of the people Already is fureshadowed
scheme to buy up the Election Boards of the
disputed States all of which are Republican
Tilden still has faith in his "barrel Of money"
If this scheme fails, then it will be- tried upon
individual Electors. As dernier resort, we
may expect to hear of the assassination of Flee
tors. The Democratic case is desperate-this is
the last hope-and the contest being so remark
ably close, offers irresistible temptation to them
to employ their favorite methods. While we
have not the slightest doubt that Hayes is hon
estly elected President, we have great misgiving
as to the f;nal result.

Historical Sketch of Brown County, prepared by
Major Morrill,, and read the 4th of July.
From the hasty examination we have had time
to make of it, we think it is the most complete

as familiar with the affairs of Brown CGdnty as
