Glory Enough for One Contest,

Our telegraphic news this morn
ing is meager, but taken together
with what we receive through our
exchanges, enough is known
to say that Tuesdays election
resulted gloriously for the Re
publican cause. We have car
ried New York on the State tick
ct, gained at least two Republi-
can Congressman, and elected a
Republican Legislature.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Il
linois, Kansas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have all gone Repub-
lican by increased majorities. 1t
is a victory of which the Repub-
licans may well feel proud, and
one that will spread consterna-
ton in the ranks of Democracy.

tentiaries left Berlin Lord Beacons-
field and Count Andrassy signed
the treaty, providing if Russia
should endeavor to remain on Tur-

Bristol a. a Matrimonial Mart.

Our neighboring town, the far famed
Bristol is making for her.
self quite reputation of late as mat
rimonial mart, especially for the rail-
road boys. Whenever one of them
wants to marry, which is of frequent
occurrence, it seems that they make
straightway for Bristol and have no
trouble in making up match. AS it
now stands only one baggage master
on the line remains unmarried-Dick
Yearwood-the last two having taken
Bristol girls in the past two days, and
It is said he fonnd her on the last visit.
Bristol certainly has her complement
of pretty, marriageable girls, so that
the rest of the boys need not be dis
couarged and think there is no chance
for them.

The Nashville american Of last
Sunday contains the following:
at is rumored that all the cOlored
land-hOlders in and near Celina re-
Ceived notices from unknown parties
within the last ten days to leave the
State within a short time. Quite q
number of them crossed the river at
Celina the thirtieth ultimo. to hunt q
new land of promise. They seemed
to know who the parties were that
had given the notice, but refuses to
give the names through some fear of
harm. Josh Hill, Reuben Hill,
Tobias Stone, Will Dock and Bill
Stone, all land-hOlders, and most of
them heads of families, were among
the number to cross the river Wednes-
day morning last. About three years
ago the colOred people above referred
to built a church near Celina, and
about the first of last July they estsb-
lished a school in said church. Some
time in July the church was burned
down by unknown incendiaries. The
cOlOred people then established their
school in a little log cabin upon the
side of the mountain, about the first
Of September. About the last OF the
same month the house was one night
discovered TO be on fire. Josh Hill
and Jim Thomas, colored, both were
fired upon by unknown parties, and
compelled to flee for their lives. Attor-
ney-General Snodgrass had a number
OF witnesses summoned before the
grand jury at the last term Of the
Clay County Court, but failed to elicit
anything more than general facts, and
was not able to fix the responsibility
on any one"
This is a great outrage, and if our
State Government can not protect
their men, 1t IL unworthy of respect.
