UNCERTAIN!
Not Yet Settled, But the Chan
ceS Favor TIIden.

AS we go to press this Thursday
morning the Presidential election is
yet unsettled-as the sollowing dis
patches show:
New YORK, Nov. 8.-The Herald
figures the State Assembly as follows:
Democrats 20, Republicans So. Ket-
chum, Republican, is elected to Con-
gress. Hockins, Republican, is de-
feated. The Post gives Tilden l84
electoral votes, with Nevada, Florida,
California, Louisiana, Oregon and
Wisconsin as doubtful. 1t says MI.
Tilden appears to be elected Presi-
dent of the United States.
The Tribune, in an extra just is
sued, says the latset news leaves a
bare possibility of Hayes election,
though the probabilities are all the
other way, but the Republicans now
claim Wisconsin and California.
This leaves Tilden one vote short of
election and Hayes twenty short, and
the following doubtful States, from
which either must draw for what he
needs: Florida 4, Nebraska 8, Neva-
da 8, Oregon 8, South Carolina z.
Hayes cannot be elected without all
these. Accurate returns from them
to-day are impossible.

The Romance of the Arctic
Disaster.

The disaster to the New Bedford
whaling fleet in the artic sea re-.
minds US that the haunts of the
Leviathan of the ocean are more
inaccessible than they were years
ago. When the Biscayans began
the fishery in the twelfth centu-
ry the king of the arctic ranged
from Spitzbergen nearly to the
equator. When the Dutch and
English embarked in the bust
ness a century or two later, the
Bay of Biscay had ceased to be
its habitant, and the aifrighted
monster had begun its retreat
through the chilly waters Of the
North Sea and the North Allan

tic to the forbiddmg localities be
yond North Cape and Iceland,
where the ice flows grind and
snap, the icebergs reel and thun-
der, and the white bear makes its
home in the everlasting SHOWS.
The whale, so Nndictively pur-
sued by the English, Dutch, Rus
slams and Norwegians, made, in
time, a flank movement, and APP
peared in vast numbers along the
eastern shores of North America.
1t was about this time that the
Nantucketers observed whales
spouting and sporting in the sea
off shore, and one of them said:
"There is a green pasture where
your children's children will go
for bread" And this green field
the hardy sons of New England
have titled diligently from that
day to this. 1t is related that the
first bowhead whale in the Belr-
ing see was captured in 1913. In
1917 they were discovered in the
.Ochotsk Sea. The bowhead
whale has retired from sea to sea
until he is now at his "last ditch"
at the north pole. lie appears
disinclined to stop short of the
latitude of unmelting ice and
snow. In connection with the
recent disaster of the New Bedford
fleet, it is a little singular that
just about a year ago whalemen
were on the lookout for a repeti
ton of the catastrophe of 1871,
when another fatal wind should
bear down with its icy Gordon,
and, with its right wing resting
on Icy Cape, sweep the whole flo
tilla high and dry on the low
beach that fringes the northern
coast. The disaster, however,
and unfortunately, had happened
q year later than was predicted,
although in a somewhat different
form, but with terrible results,
Whaleman, ii is said, note a most
remarkable change in the seasons
of the arctic zone. A few years
ago they reached the whaling
grounds sometimes in August,
only to be obliged to leave them
early in Sept. Gas was the case in
the late disaster.) Two years ago
they fingered into October, and
might have delayed longer so far
as peril from the ice-pack was
concerned. They went within
eighty miles of the mouth of the
Mckenzie River, where sailing
vessels, we believe, never have
been before; and it was thought
at the time that a steam vessel,
aided by the currents, might have
easily gone through to Baflin's
BAY, a distance of less than 1000
miles from the extreme point at
tanned, thus solving the mystery
of the northwest passage.
Smiths Bay is only forty-five
miles from where the crews Of
the recently-abandoned ships
were left; and, as there was an
abundance of provisions on the
vessels, it is thought by expert
enced New Bedford shipmasters,
familiar with the coast, that the
men, having no fears of starva-
ton, wood and water being plen-
ty, and the shores lined with
driftwood, and The seal, deer, and
seafowl found in abundance, will
worry through the ice to Smiths
Bay, where they may remain in
safety until delivered from their
unfortunate condition by some
vessel sent there for the purpose ;
but it is possible that some Of the
officers among the brave men
may bring their ships to port. In
fact, there is no reason for alarm
at all for those men who stuck
close by their ships with their
valuable cargoes.-Boston Globe.

Am Odd Chair for the Next Pres
tdeRt.

From the San Francisco Bullctin.l
Seth Kinman and his son Car.
lin, the renowned California hun
tiers and trappers are now in the
city. Seth has gained considera-
BILE notoriety as the maker of I'M
ique chairs for the Presidents of
the United States. He presented
Buchanan with q chair made OF
elk horns and hoofs in 1854, and
gave Abraham Lincoln a similar
one in 1864. Andrew Johnson
was the recipient of a chair made
of grizzly skins and claws. Du-
ring a recent visit to the Centen-
NAL Exposition Seth called on
Gov. Hayes at Columbus, Ohio,
and presented him with a chair
similar TO the Lincoln and Buchan-
an chairs--of elk horns and hoofs,
with a grizzly robe covering. He
has another chair similar to the
Andrew Johnson chair in store
for the President elect, only it
has the addition of a grizzly's fe
rocious head c%unningly concealed
underneath the seat, which, by
touching a spring in the rear Of
the chair, is thrown forward, the
jaws snap viciously two or three
times, when it returns to its place

MnndaY Night.


The election is over and the
dye is cast and what may be said
about political speeches and pc
litical meetings cannot have any
affect on the voting, yet some
things were said last Monday
night which we wish TO notice.
The meeting was Republican.
One of the speakers said that
IF person believed that he was
right, he was right" We are sor-
ry to hear such a sentiment ad-
vanced, because it is calculated
to mislead any one who may not
be able to reason on the subject.
Many colored people were pres
ent, and we dreaded its effect on
them. A few ex-rebels were
present, and the sentiment aid
vanced was calculated TO console
and comfort them. If whataman
believes is right makes it right,
simply because he believes it,
then Paul's persecution Of the
Church before his conversion,
was right He thought he was
doing Gods service, while he
prosecuted the Church. Who
that has the mental capacity to
put two ideas together, will en-
dorse any such a noiim? No one,
certainly. Such doctrine would
upset the entire foundation OF
the Christian Church.
Then again, many rebels be
lieved that they were right in
fighting against the government.
Did hat make the rebellion right
OF course not. If every man and
woman connected with the
Southern Confederacy had be
lieved that they were right, still
the rebellion would have been as
cruel and wrong as though no one
believed it right. The doctrine
advanced by the speaker was dan
gerous, whether we look at from
a political or religious standpoint
and therefore it should be dis
carded.
The same speaker uttered a no.
BILE sentiment when he said that
justice in the courts of the coun.
try should be melted out equally
to the ignorant, week and poor
and rich and influential. That is
a grand thought, noble ntimen
But terribly weighty is the con
viction that it is not acted upon
in this country. A poor, ignorant
and friendless negro or white
man commits some small effense
steals a few dollars worth Of
goods, for instance-and in a very
weeks he is sentenced to the pen
itentiary for years. .Another man,
col0fed or white, with money and
friends commits some great crime
shoots a man down dead upon
the streets for instance-and by
managing and putting off, the
case is dismissed from court and
he goes free. Everybody knows
this to be true so far as this coun-
try is concerned. Our courts o Fl
justice (heaven save the nameD
stand out in mockery of what
they pretend to be. AS the speak
er said, so we say, let all who VIC
late the law be punished. We do
not say that who commits a small
ofTense, although he be poor and
ignorant, should 60 free by any
means. Let him be punished,
but let the other also be punish
ed. That is our doctrine, and

THE FEAR OF LAMAR,

The Republicans will scruple at moth
ing to deprive Hon. L. @ c. Lamar o.
his seat in the senate to which he was
elected by the legislature Of Mississippi
They fear his conspicuous reputation as
debater, snG are anxious to drive him
from the councils Of the nation. A Ms
sissippi correspondent of the New Yo1B
Times says: Whatever may be the re-
suit of the Mississippi investigation
enough has been elected to induce Re-
publican senate to vote against the seat
ing Of Lamar, elected by bogus lt gis-
lature, the product of fraud and indmi.
dation." We predict that the Republi-
cans, much as they fear Lamar, will not
dare to consum mate this threatened out
rage. The rejection OF s. s. Prentss by
a Democratic house forty years ago gave
him 8 national reputation, and the peo-
pie Of Mississippi Iebuked the outrage
by an overwhelming majority. The re-
lection of Lamar would be followed by
similar results. He is the representative
of southe m sentiment, and as such has re-
fiected luster on the character of his con-
stituency by the splendor Of his talent
and great abilities. Lamar, it is conceded
by all, is the only man who successful
ly grsppled with Blaine, and the Repub-
licsns would gladly deprive him Of bis
seat in the United States senate. Such
men as L. @ c. Lamar are needed in
the councils of the nation. His intel
lectual endowments are Of the highest
order; his attachments in literature and
the philosophy Of politics are incompar-
able in these days OF shallow smartness
and presumptuOus ignorance. With
him the science Of government has been
q special study, and we doubt if there
is q man in all this broad Union, Of even
the maturest age, who can bring the
same profound thought and varied in
formation to the discussi IN OF public sf-
airs. His reputation rests on the solid
basis of an approved ability for practical
legislation. Lamar has borne a conspic-
uous part in every important debate in
congress during the past five years, and
his promptitude of suggestion, fertility of
resources, the mature thought and
ample information which he has dis
played, in collision, too, with the bright
est intellects OF the nation, have been
sttested and applsuded by men Of all
psrties. 1t would be an atrociOus dis.
grace to exclude such man from the
senate TO which he has been elected by
the people OF Mississippi, and unscnIpu-
Ious as the Radicals have proved them
selves, and anxious as they may be to
crush Lamar, they dare not perpetlate
the infamy proposed by this CORE
spondent.
