back idea that gained three members OF
Congress in Ohio few weeks since, and
the Toledo Bee copies and endorses the ut.
terance Of the falsehood For the preser-
vation of the purity and integrity of Jour-
nalism we insist that the jury which is
now graphing with the testimony in the
case of insanity at Fremont be called as
soon as their labors are ended there, to
hold pestmortem examination on the ed
itors of these two papers. If two or three
years had elapsed and the people had par
tally forgotten about the disgraceful ger
rymander Of the Congressional districts of
the State, and had forgotten that many of
these were fortified with 1000 and 5000
majority, which had been reduced at the
October election to 900 and 1000, then we
might expect sane greenback editor would
try to palm off such bumcombo upon the
credulity of the public. But while all
these things are fresh in the minds of the
people we would not.

THE ELECTIONS.

The Republicans made handsome gain
in the elections yesterday in all the States
where the elections are free. They were
deprived Of some Representative in the
Southern States, where free elections were
abolished by armed force. 1t is evident
that so far as the House shall be composed
OF Representatives who were elected by the
people, the Republicans will have a large
majority. If controlled by the Democrats
it will be by persons who represent only
the violent overthrow of elections, and the
further revolutionary act of these in ex.
cluding Representatives who were elected
by the people.
The result is plain proof that the Re.
publican party is the only party that can
rule by the election OF the people, and that
has cohesion of honest principles to enable
it to rule, and that the Democratic party
has no hold upon the country save by vio-
ence and liany. The Republicans have
recovered by the popular vote, by large
majorities, the States of New York, Penn
sylvania, and Connecticut This when the
Democrats thought that there was craze
ter repudiated paper legal tender which
would rend the Republican party.
The Tammnny ring, that complete repre-
sentative of the qualities OF the Democratic
party and most corrupt government in the
world, is beaten by large majority. The
Republicans have made important gains in
Congressman. The result has been shown
that the Republican party has re-
newed its strength; that the Greenback
party has eliminated, and the Democratic
party, having cast off all pretense of prln-
ciple 10 amalgamate with the Greenbackers,
will decline with them.
All these signs show that the Republi-
can party is rising, and that il will sweep
the country at the next election OF Presi-
dent and Congress. Gin. Gazette.

Yellow Fever SintisiIns.

The Memphis appeal, of Sunday, printt
what may prove TO be its last mortuary
table of the present epidemic. 1t lacks
only hve days OF covering period of three
months against two months and nine day.
in 1873. The deaths in 1873 numbered
1882; this year, 3,O7s. The disease made
its appearances, this year, on the first oil
August. Five years ago il came just a
month later. The greatest mortality any
one day in 1878 was 55, IN the 10Th of Oc.
tober; this year 1t was 1877 on the l4th Of
September In 1873 the epidemic contin-
ned just one month from the day of its
greatest mortality; this year il lasted
nearly month and half. The total
mortality in Memphis corresponds TO a
mortality la Cincinnati OF not less than
10000, probably $4,000 would he nearer
the truth. Three in every seven who were
attacked died, malignaney that is without
parallel, we believe, elsewhere in the
South.
The New Orleans Republican contains a
statement for that city, down to the same
date, October 26 The mortality was not
as large ns in Memphis, the greatest mum
her vi deaths in amy one day having been
w. lhls was on the llth OF September,
three days before the day of maximum
mortality in Memphis. But the disease

Tar back as the 2sh nf September, lhat
the lgnrcs IN Memphis reached so high a

on ~ New Orleans more tenacty than
IN Memphis, II has never assumed 20 ma.
lignant type. This is shown bv the fact
that the entire number Of deaths has heen
