THE SHERMAN REPORT,

The eminent gentlemen who went to
Louisiana to witness the action Of the
returning board of that State, have
made a report which the people will
generally accept as candid and just.
They testify to the high character Of
the gentlemen composing the board and
justify their action. Of the attempts
made to carry the State for Tilden, they
say:
A result so suggestive Of violence
and intimidation was obtained by
means the most terrible and revolving.
Organized clubs of masked men, formed
as recommended by the Democratic
committee, rode through the country
ut night, marking their course by
whipping, shooting, WOundlng, MAIN.
ing, mutilatiOn and murder, of women
and children and defenceless men,
whose houses were fOrcibly entered
whilst they slept; and as their inmates
fled through fear, the pistol and the
rifle, the knife and the rope, were EN-.
ployed to do their horrid work. Crimes
like these, testified to by scores of wit.
Nesses, were the means employed in
Louisiana to elect a President of the
United States.
Such was the force of large mass OF
the testimony upon which the adjudi.
cation lad been reached. The mem.
bers Of the board, acting under oath,
were bound by the law. If convinced
by the testimony that riot, tumult, acts
of violence or armed disturbance did
materially interfere with the purity and
freedom of election at any poll or vot'
ing place, or did materially change the
result of the election there, it lad to
reject the votes thus cast and exclude
them from their final returns.
OF the effect Of such testimony tile
board was the sole and final judge, and
if in reaching conclusion. it exercised
good faith and was guided by an honest
desire to do justice, it's determination
should be respected, even if upon like
proof different conclusion might have
been reached by other tribunals or per
SOna.

The supremacy so long enjoyed by
Illinois rs the leading grain-growing
State of the West would appear to be
lie falling from her, and in the natural
order Of events some one Of the newer
States must share the honors, If indeed
it does not take the trick.
The figures before us would seen. to
point to Nebraska, us the probable
holder Of the winning hand, and to
such AS are conversant with the superb
or Observation-Disclosures of this promis-
ing young State, the idea will cause no
surprise.
The position of Nebraska in the in
evitab]e course of the tidal wave of
migration and settlement; her health
8 lstaining climate; her fertile, easily
cultivated soil; her pure and abundant
waters. and her ample rainfall have
given the infant State Il growth FIR he

On our outside will be found an &C.
count Of the burning of the Brooklyn
theatre, by which 271 lives were lost.
We shall have the usual newspaper de-
mand for remodeling the theatres, the
usual public Indignation and horror
lasting few days, and the theatres
will 80 on as before without remodel
ing. But States and cities ought to see
to It that these horrible man traps are
suppressed. Theatres Can be con-
structed, like the ancient ampithcatres,
on the ground floor, and with ample
means Of egress. The old Smith u
Nixon's hall, in Cincinnati, with an
entrance as wide as the building, could
have been emptied in one minute, in
case Of fire.

A REVIVAL NEEDED.

EDITOR ADVANCE: Worthington
has the name of being a moral town,
and the churches unite in the cause Of
Temperance. They have preached tenn
perance as far as regards the use OF in
toxicating liquors, but did not once
stop to ask themselves the question.
Are We temperate in all things? Un.
til the last temperance meeting. it
seems they had not discovered their
mistake nor thought that they had been
little Incorporate as to other things.
The difficulty has been that the leaders
have itching ears, have sought their
own popularity, have depised and ne.
elected the poor, have put forth and
encouraged evil men because such men
were popular with the thoughtless,
while outsiders have looked on with
disgust. Some who have long lived in
the church and count OH their popular
lty, yet may fight and take things by vi
Olence or fraud, and ratify things that
are wrong. I am afraid when Christ
comes to make up his jewels, He will
say, Depart from me We workers of in.
iquity, l know you not!'
Let every good man and woman come
up to the help of the Lord and f9ht 4.
gainst these great wrongs and stand up
for the right and not try to smuggle
down anything. Let us prove by our
lives that we are the children OF God.
And what is the cause of all this
pride and violence and wilfulness?-
Ihe reason is they were never soundly
converted. People become converted
or what they call converted) 50 easily
in these days! We need \ revival a.
mong church members. May God di.
vest us OF every evil that will tend to
hinder the cause of Christ and help US
to see ourselves rs we are and make MS
Christ like: full of love and mercy and
ready for every good work. x. w.

THE SITUATION.

As stated last week, the three States
Of Louisiana, Florida and South Caro-
lima, were returned for Hayes. But in
each of these Suites DEN ocratic cleo
tors met and cast the votes of the
States for Tilden. In Oregon, the
Governor gave the certificate to one
Democrat on the ground that his Re-
publican opponent was ineligible, and
the result is two sets of electors from
Oregon. Each of these sets of electors
will transmit their vote TO Washington,
and the question will lie which to count
and who shall decide which to count?

THE MANIA TO REVIEW ON WORTH
INGTDN

xNC1DN
The Worthington Journal takes ex-
ception to the little item i'll last week s
Review in regard to the law suits, fights
and tur1noils in that village, i.eident to
Il war between the local papers, and de-
votes nearly a column to prove, first,
that the impression which we gave ex-
preston to is unjust to the people
Of Northington; and, second, that
its contemporary Of tue ADVANCE is
wholly to blame for the existing state
of affairs. This may he so, but in the
issue of the paper which reproves US
for what we said we find eight different
articles occupying nearly or quite two
columns of its local space devoted to
personal references to the editor of the
ADVANCE; while in the issue Of the lat
ter paper, we find as much space devot-
ed to the Journal and matters more or
less connected with the local turmoils
incident to this newspaper war. Even
one of tie religious societies of the VIII
lage seems to have taken hand i'll the
fight, and if we remember correctly the
testimony in this latter case showed
that in sllnmarily disp0ssessing Il ten
ant a lady of the village was wrongly
dealt with, and even violently assaulted,
Ne do not refer to these matters for
the purpose Of injurilg WUrtlingtOn,

This greatly increased the number of
his enemies. conspiracy was organic.
ed against him, and on the 18th of Jan
uary, 1872. he was dragged from his
bed by band of young noblemen hired
for that purpose by the Queen-dowager
and llolck. AT the same time Queen
Caroline Matilde was placed under ar.

mark.
Iothe imprisoned Queen assurances
were made that Struensee had con.
fessed his guilty relations with her,
and that she could only save his head
by stating in writing that he had been
her lover. Then they would be al.
lowed to depart unframed from Co.
penhagen.
A paper drawn up to that effect was
laid before the unfortunate Queen.
She was seated in front of a large
mirror as she examined the portentous
document.
Holding a pen in her hand, she said
toHolck, who was standing behind her:
"Will Struensee's life surely be
spared if | sign this paper!
"Assuredly, your Majesty" said
IIolck.
She raised her pen, but at the same
moment she looked into the mirror,
reflected in which she beheld the face
of ilolck lighted up with
SMILE or DGABoLlCAL TRIUMPH.
This frightened her so that She
tainted away. Holck seized her hand
and made the unconscious Queen sign
the paper.
When she reawoke to consciousness
she found herself in the cabin of a
Danish man-Of.war bound for Lubbock
On the following day Struensee was
publicly beheaded. Juliana and
lIOlck did not survive their triumph
long. The former died month later
OF smallpox, and few days afterward
Holck was mysteriously ,sassinated
at Roskoer.
The unfortunate Que Il lived thence
forth IN strict retirement at Celle, in
Hanover, where she died in 1875.
