No RELAXATION.

From every quarter of the state come
"dIna of rejoicing among the Democracy
over their great triumph. They have
achieved wonderful victory, victory
that has been rendered the more
emphatic and effective by reason
o' the previous widely cir
euIated claim that the Republicans
would carry West Virgins. The country
selerally was prepared - see this claim
verified. When the laundering majority
'Of the West Virginia Democracy was
announced, the effect was gratifying to
Ouf friends and startling to the opposi-
"on. Ali this affords matter for con-
graduation and enjoyment. But our
friends in West Virginia must no rest
content with what they achieved
'a'' Tuesday. They should hold their
own and do better. TILDEN deserves
'o'Voo majority in this State, and We
must give it TO him. Ohio county should
,sao on with one thousand majority
"ecan give ii if We will. Let there be
~ 'eiaxstlon OF effort. Keep the ball
'o''ng Give a majority in November
'uA will furnish q second Waterloo u
'salesl pretsnsions in West Virginia.

Because we have gained brilliant
victory, we should not allow apathy to
creep into our ranks. Our vigor should
not be allowed to flag, nor should our
energy be, in the least, sbstcd. We have
astill more glorious battle to win, and
every man should be with mis- srmor
6uckled on, ready for the fray. Only
one more united effort is needed and the
deld will be wholly ours. Remember

Gratis profess to believe that the election
of Williams will have the effect to throw
California into the ranks # the Demo

the great Western stronghold of Repub.
licanism determines the attitude of the
nation in November. What this work
is. and what it means, can only be un-

1850 has been, in Indisr 1866, and in

Church Scandal.
Considerable atteHtion was given to-
day 10 the church scandal arising out of
the proceedings last evening al the 18th
street Baptist Church, of which Rev. Mr..
Bott is pastor. After business meet
ing of the congregation last evening, q
member arose and proceeded TO read n
paper accusing the pastor of improper
intimacy with the female members of
the church. Numerous attempts were
made to interrupt the reading of
the papers, but the sCcuser persevered.
although two copies OF the charges were
snstched from his hand. He Was as
sailed by the female members of the con-
gIegation. with violent epithets, and the
singing OF the doxology was commenced
to drown the reading. At length, after
a very stormy session, it was decided to
investigate the charges When the read
ing commenced the pastor fastened from
the church. He was pursued by the
father OF the young lady with whom he
is charged with intimacy. The pursuit
was continued some distance down street,
but was unsuccessful. Mr.. Bott himself
denies utterly the truth Of the charges
against him.
