OHIO AND IOWA,

Elections were held in these two
States on Tuesday and resulted in a
Democratic triemph in Ohio by a ma
jority variously estimated from 49,
600 to 5000, while Iowa was carried
by the Republicans, their majority
being about 10000.
Neither of these events will create
much surprise among those who have
watched the course of public opinion
during the past few months. 1t has
been quite evident that the policy OF
President Hayes, involving a radical
and abrupt departure from usages
which have prevailed for many years,
has created dissatisfaction among a
numerous class of Republicans while
the late extensive labor strike
throughout the North and West like
wise did much towards the disrnp-
ton of party lines and organization.
It was the latter influence partiCu-
larly, which accounts in greatest
measure for the Democratic victory
in Ohio the Workingmen's ticket re-
ceived a much heavier vote than was
anticipated, and it was mostly drawn
from the Republican ranks.

Excitement was created throughout
the country last week by report that
Mexicaus had crossed the Rio Grande
and captured two towns in Ell Paso
county, selling officials and prom
inent citizens, whose lives were said
to be in imminent danger; the mob
declaring that Ell Paso county be-
longed to Mexico and would be held
at all hazards. Subsequent intelli-
gence, however, greatly modified the
affair and allayed excitement. There
was n serious quarrel among the peo-
pie of the section referred to, who are
nearly all of Mexican extraction, but
at last accounts no blood had been
spilled and 70 invasion by Mexicans
from the opposite shore of the Rio
Grande had taken place. Troops
were dispatched to the scene of dis
turbance.

Lafourche parish has an outstanding
debt of SIS, 408, with assets amount
ing to $1S,219. Of the latter amount,
however, $7426 consists of delinquent
taxes, only fraction of which can
ever be collected. All warrants for
years prior to 1874 are paid, and there
is no outstanding debt for 1875. 1t is
anticipated that a sufficient amount
of taxes will be collected this year to
liquidate all liabilities of 1874 and

THE PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS
OF SOUTHERN LABOR UNIONS.
By EMERSON BENTLEY.

Within few weeks time, and since
the close of tile great Northern labor
strikes. the press By disseminating
the intelligence, and discussing the
issues growing out of the conflict be-
tween capital and labor, has infused
the working class with a spirit kin
dred and in sympathy with the OBJ
jects of the strikers. 1t is even as
serted that letters have been written
from a national bureau located in
Washington urging the organization
of Louisiana workiDgmen for thepur-
pose of taking such cooperative or
political action as may be found nee
essary to ameliorate the condition of
labor throughout the Union. 1t is
declared that no distinction of race
will be observed in the formation of
clubs, except where the race preju-
dice is found to be too strong to per-
nit a common enrolment of mem
bers. In localities where harmony
demands it the separation of races is
advised, but visiting committees of
both races may be formed to exchange
courtesies aud keep up the most per-
feet union OH all vital issues of the
labor movement.
Tt is certain that the Virginia press
has ehronicled the beginning of the
movement i'll that. State, and tits not
improbable that, spontaneously, or
through deliberate measures of Or
ganization, it will spread over the
entire South.
We may not Immediately, if ever,
look for any of those scenes of misdi-
rected violence which were incidents
of the beginning of the workingman's
movement = orI all ends within the
bounds of reason have been accom-
plished in that direction. The South
ern laborers will combine for pur-
poses of adjustment with employers
on peaceable basis, or to secure the
legislation required for their protec-
ton. In these efforts, if at all, will
arise. pernicious influences of the
movement against the better inter
ests of society in general.
If these clubs are led by unprinci-
pled;s shallow Drained political hacks,
who endeavor to convert them to self
ish ends, the true interests of the
Workingmen win be seriously impe-
ded antagonisms foreign to the main
issues will be aroused and efforts OF
amelioration will excite only derision
and scorn.
The question may be wisely con-
sidered by all leaders Is it not good
policy to anticipate the demagogues
by giving the labor issue our best

The medical fraternity of Detroit are
puzzled upon hearing the sequel to the
awful affair at the house of correction.
1t will be remembered that it was re
ported that one James DOnnelly cut his
throat twice and stabbed himself in the
left breast three times that the prison
physician attended to the wounds and
three minutes after they were inflicted
saw no signs of life. Coroner Wilson,
who was visiting the house of correction
at the Tine, held an inquest, and YER
diet was returned in accordance with the
apparent facts in the case. The singular
part of the affair is that the inquested
suicide Is still alive, and although there
seems to be no chance of his ultimate
recovery, he was able yesterday after
noon to talk in a weak and disconnected
manner. The physician yesterday in an
interview pronounced the case one OF
the most remarkable that ever came
under his notice. When the would be
suicide fell to the floor the blood spurted
from the gashes in his bTea t, and at each
/ labOred respiration the air could be seen
te enter and pass out of the gaping
wounds. Exactly three minutes after
the fall his jaw dropped, the wound be
came apparently exsanguinated, the lips
turned q CHASTITY D!ue ana no pulse was
perceptible The body was removed
| from the chair shop to Tie stretcher, and
! Two prisoners were detailed to sit through
/ the night with the body. Shortly alter
seven o'clock, over three hours after the
man was thought to be dead, the watchers
were startled by slight gurgIe in the
| throat of the % man, and soon af.cr the
| eyes opened. The deputy superinten.
dent was Immediately sent for, and
when he arrived the wounded man made

There is no doubt that the unt0rtunat
man is insane. He SAYS that his righ

relatives live or did live eight years az
at Drogheda, Ireland. An idea Of tn
extent of his wounds may be game

Queen Victoria has lately had a small
pension bestowed upon AIr. Thomas Ed
waIds; pi0us cobbIer of Scotland, who,
in spite of poverty and ineessant toll, has
made for himsOit an honest name among
the naturalists of the day. No one ever
dreamed less about stioh Il distinction
than he did. and yet, after the lapse of
years, the well-deseryed compliment has
been paid him.
This worthy man is the son of hand
loom weaver, and was born on Christ
mas day, 1919. From his earliest years
the weaveT's boy manifested a lively
interests in birds and beasts. and he turned
the Cottage into q sort Of museum for
curiOsities.
Every effort was made to turn his
thoughts to other matters, but his favor
ite study ef natural history only became
more and more an object Of engaging
pursuit.
When Thomas Edwards was sent to
work in a factory, two miles from Aber-
deem (where bis father then liTed), his
walks back and forth were made the Oc-
casiOns for securing Of the woods and
fields. He was obliged to be up by four
o'clock in the morning, and did not re-
turn home before nine at night. But
the voting naturalist forgot fatigue, and
cold, and scanty food, in the pleasure
which he found in collecting specimens
of birds and insects, and plants and
flowers. It was mere haphazard assOrt-
ment, since he learned to classify and ar
range them With wonderful accuracy.
When Thomas Ed wardsgrew up to man
hood, and married, he sat Gown quietly
to the drudgery of his cobbing stall,
and his earnings we're so meager that he
could not afford to spend much daylight
in his fayOrite studies.
At the close Of long days work he
would return home, and, having equipped
himself with his insect boxes and bot
ties, his botanical book and his gun, set
off with his supper in his hand, to begin
his observations. Bad weather never
kept him in the house. and, when rain
overlook him, he would thrust himself,
feet foremost into a fOx's hole, while he
patiently watched the moths, etc, as
they fitted by. Other poor men sFUan-
dercd their wagesin grOg shops and made
themselves merry over the strange fancy
of Thomas Edwards, but he needed them
not.
With a good hard working woman for
a wife, his home was always tidy and his
children clean and well-behaved, and IN
the course of time the wonderful collec-
tions which the poor naturalist had made
attracted the notice of men of science
until Thomas Edwards was authorized to
sign himself Fellow of the Linnean
Society"
The little history has its moral; and
any intelligent, industrious boy, however
Door and friendIess, will be the happier
fer remembering it.
