y
ter who was settled over the Seventeenth
Congregational church, and who was gener-
ally believed to be Miss S,oane's accepted
lover. That he went to see Miss Sloane on
the very evening when the reckless boy set
his Central Africa trap was not strange, for
he usually spent three or four evenings
every week at the Sloane mansion, but it
was coincidence that on that precise even
ing he proposed walk, and led Miss Sloane
toward the identical lane where the trap was
waiting for victims.
How it happened that neither the young
minister nor Miss Sloane noticed the bent
sapling or the rope, no one can understand,
unless they were SO deeply engaged in the
discussion of theological questions that they
were oblivious to all earthly things. Still
more difficult is it to comprehend how they
could both have stepped within the moose,
which was spread out in the form of circle
not more than q foot in diameter. It is
possible, however. that the lady was reading
a hymn-book and that her companion had
approached extremely close to her in order
to see if the hymn was correctly printed
However this may be, the fact remains that
Miss Sloane's left foot and the minister's
right foot were just within the moose when
the trap sprung, and the elastic sapling sud-
denly lifted them twenty feet into the air,
where they remained hanging like two
cherries on single stem, and expressing in
lively tones their suspicion that something
unusual had happened.
Half an hour later the Clinton and Holmes
vile stage passed that way, and the driver
and his passengers were astonished beyond
measure. For some time it was supposed
that some new aud curiously complicated
animal, consisting chiefly of zebra and black
panther, was swinging from the top of the
sapline; but just as one Of the passengers
was about to fire at it, the driver recognized
not able to recognize his fol-
low-prisoner. The latter's voice was
somewhat muff1ed, but she was distinctly
heard'to revile the minister, and to assert
that she never would forgive him, no matter
how he might try to excuse himself Six
strong men finally bent down the sapling,
released the victims, and with rare delicacy
assigned the duty of recognizing Miss Sloane
to the two ladies' who were in the stage.
Fortunately, neither of Master Sloane's vic
TINS we're seriously injured, and they both
were able to walk home on opposite sides OF
the street
! The results of this affair were numerous.
Miss Sloane left town the next day on q
visit to the East, and has not since returned.
The minister was tried for indiscreetly hang
ling from the tops Of trees with young ladies,
and thereby bringing reproach upon his pro
fession, but was acquitted by q close vote.
As for Master Sloane, it Is believed and
hoped that his father has killed him. Al
any rate, he has not been seen, and the
rumor that he has been sent to the house
Of refuge in Chicago is not generally be
! ieved.

Explaining the Result.

The Democratic papers are already at
tempting to explain away their defeat in
the Northern States at the election ON the
9Th, and allege as reason for the result
that it was rebuke to the greenback falla-
cy which had gained strength in some local
tiles. 1t was rebuke, it is true, to the adj
vocates of an irredeemable currency, and
in the degree that it was so, it was rebuke
to the Democratic party. In almost every
State where they formulated platform,
there was pandering to this sentiment, and
while some Democrats voted with the Re-
OF that party was committed to the green
back delusion. Here in Virginia. every
member of Congress except DR.. Jorgensen,
a Republican, in the Petersburg District, is
committed to the greenback issue, more or
less. Not one of them fought the issue
squarely, and Gen. Echols was the only man
who dared to meet it plumply and fairly,
and he withdrew before the day of election.
Harris, Hunton and Richmond, are all three
in favor of irredeemable greenbacKs. Tuck
er, Johnston, Harris, Hunton, Richmond,
and Cabell are in favor of the repeal of the
Resumption Act and NationalFBank law, and
by necessary implication for State Banks
They are all opposed to the present finan-
cial policy Of the government, and it logi-
cally follows that they will support any
measure designed to cripple it. 1t was the
sentiment they maintain that was rebuked
in Ohio, and in the recent election in the
Eastern States.
A ''Solid South'' is one of the features of
the result of last Tuesday which will cause
much congratulation in Democratic coun-
ellis. When it is remembered how this solid
Congressional representation from the South
has been procured, it ought to modify en-
thusiasm somewhat, and instigate the in
quiry whether the American people will
quietly submit to the terrorism which this re-
suit implies. 1t will certainly be followed
by ''Solid North" hereafter, and the revi-
val of the sectional feeling and passion
which it has been the aim of the present ad-
ministrati0n to obliterate. liz this the South
will have to suffer, for it raises barrier
against che influx Of population and capital,
and antagonizes the sections at a time when
self-interest, to say nothing of fealty to es.
tablished law, would suggest different pol
icy. A solid political South is the worst ar.
gument that section can use for its material
welfare, and the most damaging boast the
Democratic party can proclaim. 1t an
nounces political intolerance, defiance of
law, disregard of personal right and the
existence of hates, which cannot fail to
inf1ame resentments and crystalline animosi-
ties in the other sections of the Union. Men |
Of national feeling-ambitious for the peace |
and prosperity of the whole country, wheth-
er of the North or South, cannot but regret |
this. and encourage the hope that a sense of |
political justice will assert itself in the mod
fieation of a policy, which has in it nothing
but harm to the section that has consummat.
ed it.

THANKSGIVING Day.

The President, whose proclamation will
be found in another column, recommends
that Thursday, the 2Sth Of this month be
set aside as day of thanksgiving to God
for the many favors that have been vouch-
safed US during the past year. Certainly
there are but few, if single one, upon
whom blessings,in one form or another. have
not fallen in the past twelve months. They
have descended oftimes like the dew, silent
ly. almost imperceptibly, yet gladdening
and refreshing infusing a new life and
and strength and yigor.
As nation we have every cause to be
thankful. Never has the earth yielded more
abundantly rarely has the rward OF ma ms
labor been richer. Dame nature has spread
her board with lavish hand and heartily
have her children partaken. TITS true, that
a portion of the South has been scourged by
a plague more terribly fatal than has ever
before been known, but many have been
spared to give thanks for their deliverance;
and the terrible ordeal they passed through
has developed bond of heartfelt sympathy
and Christian charity between the sections
that may prove an unmixed blessing, for
generations to come.
The proclamation should commend itself
10 all readers, and its counsels be observed.

HUNDRED CoNTESTS.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun of the
4th, has the following:
Western democratic politicians who have
arrived here in the last day or two say that
Messrs. Sayler and Goss, of the Cincinnati
districts, are still pressed very hard by their
friends to contest the seats OF the their sue
cessful republican competitors. Senator
Beck is said to be one of the most urgent in
this matter, and to have declared that all de-
feated democrats in districts where United
States supervisors had been appointed should
give notice of contest, and that the
clerk of the House should not place the
names OF republicans elected in such dis
tricts on the rolls. If Senator Beck has tax.
en- any such position as this it is going q lit
tie too far, The House OF Representatives
has been for four years in the hands OF the
democrats, and many republicans have been
admitted to seats without question who were
elected in districts where supervisors were
appointed. More than tins, the democratic
majority OF the present House only short
time before the adjournment seated Mr..
Dean, OF Massachusetts,, on the United
States supervisors count, when, according
to the count OF the State officers, Mr.. Field,
the republican, was elected. That the law
ought to be repealed there may be abundant
room for contending, but it is absurd for
Senator Beck or any one else to take such
position as he is credited with Willie the law
is on the statute books,

Secretary Gorham, of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, left last
night for New York, en- route to California,
his home. Before leaving he said: "There
is not particle of truth in the circular pub
lished in morning paper in this city and
elsewhere purporting to have been issued by
our committee. No such circular was ever
issued. 1t is also untrue that the committee
has ever called upon the government to pro-
tect republican voters in the south or else
where. The action of the Attorney General
issuing letters OF instructions to district at
torneys and ia authorizing the appointment
of additional deputy marshals was based en-
tirely upon information received from Ger
tain sections that republican political meet
ings we're being broken up and republicans
generally were being 'bull-dozed' by demo-
Gratis. The Attorney General is also respon-
sible for his course. Mr. Devens is, | under
stand, determined, SO far as he is able, to
protect both republicans and dem ocrats in
their right to vote, and he has instructed his
accordingly.- Wash. Star, 4ts.

The statistics issued at short intervals by
the Treasury department furnish cumula-
tive evidence of the remarkable excess OF ex-
ports over imports exhibited by our trade in
merchandise, and of the exactly opposite
condition Of affairs discovered in our deal
ings with the outside world in the matter of
coin and bullion. 1t appears that the ex-
cess OF our exports over imports of merchan-
disc for September was s20,525,257 or an
amount greater by five million dollars than
the excess for the corresponding month in
1877. For longer period the increase is
still more striking. In the nine months end
ing September 80, 1878, the total excess of
exports over imports was 5000, 130, 4s7 against
$54, 460,334 for the corresponding nine
months in 1877. This increase of the differ
ence between the sales and purchases of
merchandise of course shows itself in the
cash accounts of the nation. More gold and
silver by s923,7O3 was imported than ex-
ported in September. For the nine months
ending September 80, 1878, the imports of
coin and bullion exceeded the exports by
1921, 1850, while for the corresponding inc
months oflast year the excess of exports over
imports was s24, 706,7s0. The condition of
affairs indicated by the foregoing figures is
far from discouraging to nation which
needs large amount OF ready money to paw
the debts that will soon fall due.

Hon. Thomas F. Bavard.

The brief synopsis given elsewhere of the
speech Of Senator Bayard, of Delaware, de-
livered at Philadelphia, conveys alesson OF
instruction. He was invited by the Demo-
Gratis of that city to speak in behalf of their
candidate for Governor, Mr.. Dill. He was
received by beth Democrats and Republi-
cans and the tendency Of the arguments he
advanced was rather to make votes for the
Republican candidate than the Democratic.
He proclaimed for the hardest Of hard mon
better days Of the Democracy, when to have
advocated irredeemable paper money would
have been regarded as the baldest heresy.-
The speech Of the distinguished Senator
upon which the party in whose behalf he
was invited to speak stood in Pennsylvania.
He was there, however, to speak his honest
sentiments as statesman and patriot, and
in strong language and bold Illustration, he
maintained the very policy now being car
ried out by the administration. 1t was in
refreshing contrast with the trimming, dick
ering position Of both Mr.. Thurman. of Ohio,
and Mr.. Hendricks, Of Indiana, and clearly
showed that the Democracy Mr.. Bayerd
represents is not that in whose light these
Western Presidential aspirants follow.
Unfortunately for the great majority of
the leaders of the Democratic party, they
are irrevocably committed to tine greenback
theory, and have recorded themselves in OPP
position to the. wise and beneficent financial
policy MIR. Bayard supports, and the Re
publican administration is putting into
practice. Willing to catchat any expedient
and embrace any specious devi<e which
promised popular favor, the Democrats have
forsaken the traditional principles of the
party, and taken up a ''soft money" notion
which is well calculated to deceive the
thoughtless, and administer to the Gu
pidity of the tllriftless and sidle They
have traded off the solid, thinking ell
ement of their organization for the
army OF tramps, who assume that the
world owes them living and they are going
to have it, and that the best way to get it is
w uosO SACoP AouCy anu dill 1uuuuduCe u
it. They have likewise, repealed large
voting population, which has never been
partlzan, never closely identified with either
organization, but acting with that party
which at the time promised best for the
country. In fact, the Democratic party, as
now constituted and with the governmental
theories it has chosen, is strictly confined to
what is known as machine politics, with
no earnest conviction Of right to govern, but
stimulated alone by the spoils of office, and
the possession of government for the emol-
uments associated Herewith. The Repub-
lican party presents, in contrast, solid,
united column in favor Of honest money and
national integrity policy that assures to
labor just reward, and to the world high
purpose to maintain the nations faith. And
upon these divergent policies must pubic
sentiment crystalize, without reference to
party nomenclature, or other interests than
those which pertain to severe, jealous conser-
walton of the true interests of the people,
and the peace and prosperity of the whole
country.

BUTLER S DEFEAT--TRIUMPHo OF anti-TA1I.
MA-NY-REPUBLICAN GAINS, &c.
Tues day last elections took place in thirty
States. The result may be summonized as
follows:
In Virginia the delegation stands as in the
former gress-eight Democrats and one
Republican. In the Ninth district McMul-
len, independent greenbacker, is probably
elected over Richmond, regular nominee.
The new Congressman are:
First district-R. L. L. Beale, Con.
Second district-John GooJe, Con.
Third dstrict-Joseph E. Johnston, Con !.
Fourth district-Joseph Jorgenson, Rep.
Fifth district-George G. Cabell, Con.
Sixth dstrict-J. R. Tucker, Con.
Seventh dstrict-John L. Harris, Con.
Eeighth dist-ict-Eppa Hunton, Con.
Ninth district-F. McMullen, Ind.
The chief points around which interest
centered were Massachusetts and New York.
In Massachusetts there were full State tick
cts put in the field by Republicans, Demo-
Gratis. Nationals and Prohibitionis1s. Butler,
the head of the National ticket, an extreme
greenbacker, claimed the Democratic nom
inatioa by virtue of the irregulay vote of
State convention. Talbot, Republican, and
hard money candidate, was supported by the
best class of Democrats. Talbot was elected
by plurality of 10000. All of the Repub-
lican candidates for State offices were elect
ed. All of the Congressional districts were
carried by the Republicans, except the 4th.
In New York the Republicans and anti
Tammanyites gained a sweeping victory,
carrying the city by $4,000, and electing %
and probably "a Congressman in the State.
Some ninety Republican members of the
General Assembly are elected, which in
sures return Of Senator Conklin.
In Maryland the Republicans gain one
Congressman, Urner having been elected in
the Sixth district over Peter.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans swept
the State by majority of 10000. They
gain four Congressman.
