one topic can do to protect the Of national
strength from dangerous evil Ifthe legislature
will do its duty as we doubt not II will, q great
blot upon the fair name Of our state will be re-
moved. Governor Proctor deserves the special
thanks Of our citizens for this manly treatment Of
the matter.
WE inadvertently omitted in our issue of last
week the name Of Grant NJ. Spngue, Of Franklin
county, as Page in the House. The appointments
in the State Library are as follows j. W. Fargo

johnson Of Burlington II IL certainly safe to say
that all parties having occasion to be accommo-
dated at the Library will receive careful and
courteous attention to their wants We are glad
to note that Secretary OF State Nichols has APP
pointed Fred. A. Woodbridge OF vergennes, as
his principal assistant in that office. The selec-
ton could not be improved upon. We under
stand that Mr.. f. w J. Hawkins, OF Starks-
boro, has been appointed Engrossing Clerk, an
appointment which we have no doubt will prove
satisfactory to the Legislature and the public.
THE sound and ready sense OF Gov. Proctor
served to extricate him very handsomely, Wednes-
day morning. from what seemed for the mo-
lltHt an dWhNHIu ulleUlluh. III pTeSlulnB NJ tne
organization Of the Senate, he very properly re-
solved to call none Of the numerous candidates
for the chaplaincy to make the opening prayer
thus giving him the advantage over his competi-
tors. The clergyman provided, at his request,
almost at the last moment was found to be a can
ddate, when, resolving to adhere to his decision,
the Governor despatched messenger to find
disinterested clergyman, but in vain. In this di-
lemma, rs the clock struck the hour for opening,
the Governor called upon Senator Mead Of Or
ange county, to address the throne of Grace
which he proceeded to do, in highly appropri-
ate and acceptable manner. The Governor is GER
tainly to be congratulated upon his ready and
happy thought, and the Senate upon having a
member so equal to the emergency. In our iudg-
ment, the only thing needed to round out the in
cident to its best proportions was for the Senate
to have ut once proceeded to elect Senator Mead
as its permanent chaplain

The Elections.

The returns from yesterdays elections show Re
publican gains in Iowa and Ohio, and leave little
doubt that both states have been carried by that
party. In Indiana the vote is very close with the
chances in favor Of the democrats The returns
are very meagre, and in many Congressional Dis
tricts the official vote can alone decide who is
elected

More Indians Seen-News From the
.0IlEcT cheyennes.
Camp Robinson, Oct. 10.--James
Baker, ranchman, living between
Snake creek and Running Water, on
the Sidney road, arrived here at noon
to-day and reports that 81 Indians
passed within 500 yards of his ranch
late last evening on their way north.
Baker and his man saw them coming,
gathered the most of his stock near his
ranch and made preparations, thinking
the hostiles intended having a fight,
but when within 500 yards of his ranch
they faced due north and kept that
route until they could no longer be
seen.
A courier just arrived from Carlton IS
command, on the Niobrara river, re-
ports that Carlton up to the present
time has not seen any Indians, not even
their trail. The Indians are supposed
to have scattered on reaching the sand
hills, some miles east Of the Niobrara
river. There is very little doubt that
nearly all the Cheyennes are now with
their red brothers at Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail agencies, enjoying the
government rations.

Boston. Oct. 10.-Engineer Westgate
says, as to the cause of the accident,
that when near Wollaston station he
saw freight train moving over the
connecting track. His engine struck a
corner of this train, an empty fat car,
but not with sufficient force to throw it
from the track. Westgate asserts pos
itively that the inward track was clear,
and that a freight car was across the
connection. When he passed over the
switch by which the inward is connect
ed with the outward track, he discov-
cred that something was wrong, his
first impression being that the switch
was open, and this was confirmed by
the observation of others. He instant
ly whistled down brakes and reversed
his engine. The switches are about one
hundred feet apart, and the engine hav-
ing passed the first switch in safety, the
engineer hoped it would hold to the
iron as the only means of saving the
train, but the second switch being also
open the locomotive left the rails and
the catastrophe followed.
