PIrTsBuRG, PA, November 6.-The

vote Of Pittsburg or Allegheny City.
Ninety districts of Allegheny county give
Sterritt, Republican, for Supreme Judge,
3,27O majority over Turnkey, Democratic.
The returns indicate heavy scratching Of
local tickets. Complete returns from

GONE FLECNERgNs.

The result Of yesterday election Is
complete Waterloo to the Bond crowd
They are routed, horse, foot and dragon.
The people have expressed their conGeilha-
,;on Of the Bond misrule in such emphatic
Germs that even Mr.. Bond himself cannot
misunderstood it. IL means, in shor', tha;
the people have had enough of him and his
crowd. and that if the Republi-
can party hopes to maintain its supremacy
in Leavenworth county it must
nut the management OF its affairs into the
hands of men in whom the people have con-
fidence, and no longer permit itself to be
dictated to by the disreputable crowd that
has assumed to manage affairs in this cam
paign. The result is Just what all inteiii-
gent men have expected. II is without
party significance, but is a victory for the
decent people of all parties.
In county that is strongly Republican,
the head of the Republican ticket is defeat
ed by an overwhelming majority. In thecity
where the Republican ticket ought to have
amajority OF three hundred votes, the man
who was put forward as the candidate OF
the party for Sheriff, Is beaten in every
ward. And in the country the result Is
about the same; at this writing it locks as
though Mr.. Bonds nominee had been repu'
dated in every township-while IN some he
receives hardly votes enough to show that
he was running-in one, for instance, where
over hundred votes were cast, and wher'
the Republicans have a large majority
he received but four Uotes! Th'
friends of reform could not have asked iol
more complete and sweeping victory than
that gained yesterday. The armed bullie
failed to intimidate. The low, scurrilou
assaults failed. The Sheriff. Office and af
fairs will be administered upon by an hon
est man, the old bones will rattle AM
cards of retraction will be more numerou
than ever The TIMES returns thanks. TIL
voters have vindicated il, and truth and jus
tice triumph. The Lord be praised.

TIE GOOD OLD WAY.

The good people of Texas do not propose
to fall into any of the new tangled ways OF
dealing with infdelity, but intend to keep
the reli gious sense of their community up to
the correct standard by the good old vigor-
Gus measures that our pious forefa;hers
made Use OF. The New York Sgn of the
2nd SAYS:
The lynchins of an infidel in Bell county,
Texas, was noticed in this column lately. A
fuller account says that he was DIR. :. J. Rus
sell, an old and respectable resident He was
a bitter opponent Of Christianity. and his
crowning offence against the prevailing re-
ligious sentiment was a lecture against the
divinity ofChrist. A mob of believers took
him from his bed at night. dragged him into
the woods, tied him TO a tree, and gave him a
huNired lashes with rawh:de. Previous 10
the whipping the spokesman of the party
said: I'VE know you are an honest man and
a good physician, but we will tolerate no inf
dels in Bell county; so, by the hep OF God,
We VIII stop your career OF infidelity." A
written notice was posted on the tree that
infid-lity in Bell county would in the future
be punished by hanging. There is no intima-
ton of any charge against DIR. Russs-ll except
that of antagonism TO Chrisliani.y The
lynchers were in part C imposed of roughs,
but the leaders were members o: a Baptist

The new Republican paper at Washing
ton-the Union has an article on the sil
yer question, which has more Than ordinary
significance, and if-as is generally sup
toSed-the Uann speaks for the admins
tration. its article, which we copy below,
will put an end to the fears, that have been
entertained by some, that the President
might veto the bill. Says the CHron:
The New York Hcruld, which, like mosf of

METROPOLIS, is always found on the side of the
creditor class, refers with considerable bitter
ness to 2 number Of bills for the remonctiZa-
ton ofsilver int oduced in the House on Mon
day last and does not hesitate to brand their
authors rs repudiniionists. This epithet is as
untruthful as u is abusive, ard in the present
state Of public Information Oh the silver

POOR OPINION OFT

A jaundioed correspondent writes that
Congress is like the top Of a bell on the hui
man system, the very centre and heat Of all
the worst elements in the political body.
The average Congressman is a most terribly
conscious person OF the provincialism of his
District; and Congress is simply an aggre-
gate seething and struggling of a great
number of localism-rarely or never losing
themselves in any stream OF national and
ratriotic feeling.

THE SENATE.

The death of Senator Morton makes a DIFF
ference of two in the Republican majority
in the Senate, as his successor will be a Dem
ocrlt. When this successor is appointed
and has taken his seat, the Senate will stand
Sc Republicans, "a Democrats, 3 lndepen-
dents (Christiancy, Boeth and Davis, with
three seats contested.
II Eustis and Spoford are admitted from
Louisiana, and Butler from South Carolina
the Democrats will have 81 votes, the Re
pubIicans ard Independents 80.
Ii Kellogg is admitted from Louisiana, as
now seems probable, the Senate will consist
of 81 Republicans, "a Democrats, and 3 In
dependents, with two seats vacant. Booth
and Christiancy are likely TO act with the
Republicans on all important measures
which will give the Republicans a majority
of four, counting Davis with the opposition.

the rolls Of the Departments are
full. 1t Is doubtfuI whether twen;y-yscal-
cies. which the real needs Of the service
require TO be filed, exist to-day. The files
OF every Office are loaded with applications,
and many of these contain the
names OF ONE OF the most infuen-
tial men IN the land. "Day by day these in
crease and are fled away where day by day
the dust settles Over them practically for
ever" General Boynton gives several IN
stances of the distress occasioned by parties,
going on, confident OF obtaining positions
but who met with the usual refusal. ard
who actually did not have m"ney enongh
