'rEIE RESULT.

The smoke of the battle has cleared
away and the Democratic Conservative
party carries the banner of victoly tri-
umphantly The entire ticket III this
county has been elected by an average
majority of from 800 TO 1000 including
the State ticket, at the same time cast
ing a severe rebuke upon Boilers and
Independents ficm the Democratic Con,
servative patty. Mr.. Baker, the regu-
lar nominee, for Sheriff, has RECEIVED a
majority over Mr.. Snble,te of about
500. Mr.. Koorce Withdrew on the eye
of the election in favor Of Mr.. SuDlettc.
MIR. Buffers majority, over Mr.. Bll!my-
er, for State Senator, is about the same.
u. +. Cross and James Law. HoOf, are
elected to the Legislature over 5. v.
Yantis and John u. Staley. X. A. Al
rxander and {. ii. Trail are elected
County Assessors. Col, Il. w. Baylor
is elected President Of the County Court
without opposition: Capt. Geo Baylor
is elected Prosecuting Attorney without
opposition, 5. Howell Brown is elect
ed County Surveyor without opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Koonce, when he withdrew from
the contest, for Sheriff, "missed his tig
ure," 10y believing that he could sell the
Republican party ofthis Conpty,'to Mr.
Sublette. The majority Of the Repub'
lican party of this County are men OF
integrity, standing, honest and upright,
and are some of the best and most III
tiucntial citizens, and who scorn the
idea of being bought and sold as sheep
1T the SHAMELESS, politically at least.
When We told Mr.. koonce, on our
streets, on the morning previous to the
election, that Mr.. Baker would beat Mr..
Sublette from 500 to 800, he hooted
at the idea of such result. lie now
10 doubt believes that our predictions
ale verifie;. We are no prophet, mel
the: are we the son OF prophet, but
We have the satisfaction OF knowing
that every prediction we have made in
this contest, has resulted according to
our views. Raising poles and shoot
ing off anvils at Charlestown had very
little effect in breaking the ranks OF Tie
party.
According to our prediction, Mr..
Butler has received larger majority
than any previous Democratic Conser'-
alive candidate, in this district, and he
should feel highly gratited OF the hon
or bestowed upon him. 1t is certainly
a degree of esteem never previously
conferred, and he no doubt feels CRATE
iul TO his constituents for the highest
mark of honor rendered him.

FORTUNE AND FoRrlruDE.-The
Turkish war appears TO have thrown a
little business in the way Of some
American firms, illustrating the old
adage that it's an i'll wind that blows
no one any good. Thus We see it stat
ed that fifteen million cartridges were
sent from New York on Saturday for
the use of the Sultans troops and should
the present troubles in Europe continue
this country will doubtless be called
upon to furnish other supplies, not only
OF ammunition, but Of provisions and
miscellaneous stores. 1t is not very
pleasant TO thrive upon the mlsiortunes
Of others, bat there is no other mlsior-
tune that mankind in general endue
with SO much tortitude.

Thomas J. Ullum IS Tor was) the owner
of a valuable milk COW that would make
meal out of all the paper she could
find. On Saturday the COW died, and
Mr, Ullum wishing to know what made
her 'tkick the bucket, had the CARCASS
conveyed to the mountain and dissect-
ed, when they found inside Of her a
large number of Van Amburgs circus
bills, which she had devoured, and
which no doubt was the cause Of her
death. No doubt the cow intended TO
see the circus, but seeing no way Of
cheating her way she tore down the
bills, and destroyed the dates so that
people could not see when the circus
was to be held, and therefore could
spite Van Ambdrgh by having a small
house. = BoonsbOro Odd Ftior.
