The NoyemLer EleclIons.

The November elections resulted
as we supposed they would. The
Democrats could not expect to carry
out one Of the Northern States, which
held elections, at the best. That
they carried for their whole State
ticket, except Governor, and on ac-
count Of divisions in the City, Cor
nell squeezed through by good ma
jority. New York is a Democratic
State, and SO can be counted for 1880,
On none knows this better than Re.
publicans. This State gives US the
Presidency next year, for at that time
the Democracy of New York will be
firmly united. So we can count in
the Democratic column, of the No,
vember elections, New York, Mary
land, Virginia, and Mississippi.
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Nebraska, Massachusetts, and Mime.
sofa, all went Republican as usual.
In Mississippi we gain United
States Senator. All in all, we do
not see wherein the result is to be
wondered at. We carried all our
states and the Republicans carried
theirs, and next year we are in good
condition to meet the common enc
my and defeat him as we did in '76,
elect our candidate for President as
we did then, and inaugurate him as
we did not then.

The indications" are that the Re-

more than they did two years, and
longer, ago. The indications" point
to the fact that the Democrats will
carry the same States that they did
in 1876, at least they are holding

are that in 1880 the Democratic

States of Alabama, Arkansas, Della

sippi, Missouri, New York, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, New
Jersey and Connecticut, making a
total of 205 electoral votes, being
eighteen votes more than is necessa-

the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by pu-

HeImboId.s Buchn. /

Helmbold's Buchu has long been
known as one Of the most valuable
medicines attainablein certainclass-
cs Of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutan-
eous affections, and especially atiec-
tions Of the urinary organs. AS q
diuretic, it is superior to utmost any
other medicine in use, and the great
care with which it is prepared, the
absolute purity of the preparation,
and the diligence used in the selec-
stion of the crude material, have
made it known far and wide as a re-
liable and effective preparation, and
one that can always be used with
safety and benefit. The great success
of Helmbold's Buchu has led to the
production Of many spurious prepar.
ations, which are made cheaply and
placed upon the market to be sold
on Interpolation acquired by Helm
bold's original preparation. Parties
who desire really good medicine
should be careful and use Helmbold's
only.

now been proved beyond dispute.
The British steamship City of Bris.
tol drawing twenty-four feet, seven
inches, has passed through the jetties
without detention, although the tide
was four inches below the average.
Now that the largest steamship can

@lNr. Editor: Inoticed in your last
issue the name Of Hon. P. c. Eastman
Of Mason, suggested as candidate
for governor. The writer Of this
knows Mr.. Eastman well, and he is
the very kind Of man to make gov.
crnor. He is an intelligent gentle
man, entertaining statesmanlike
views, and knows well the wants Of
the people Of his State. With these
high qualifications he is in full sym
patby with our agricultural interests.
The only objection that could be
urged TO him, and it is really no OBJ.
lection at all, is that he halls from
the third district. Why talk about
sections in the choice Of GOVERNOR
These sectional jealousies have orig.
mated solely in the brains of ambi-
tious demagogues, who play upon it
as upon the harp of thousand
strings.
"Butler, Strider or Eastman. Let
the Democratic farmers rally to the
support of one or the other. The
general sentiment OF the people is to
put in good, honest farmer, no mat
ter what section he halls from.

printing presses, their colleges, and
churches, have not educated the mass
es above the lead Of certainly the
most dangerous and INSCRIPTIONS
class Of men that have ever attained
political ascendency in this country.
Chandler and Morton are no more,
but matriculates in the same school
have come forth as poisonous and
poisoning as they. The government
offices are all hung in black and clos
ed to-day in honor Of the deceased
Senator and Cabinet Officer but for
whom this fraudulent administration
would not have been. He did more
than any other man to negative the
fairest fight, and, odds considered,
the most remarkable popular victory
ever won. Sherman would not have
had the effrontery to telegraph, as
Chandler did, Hayes has 1856 votes
and is elected" when he lacked 16 Of
having 1855. But as soon as Chand-
Ter had done this, Sherman, Everts,
schurz, Noyes, Grant, and the su-
preme Court executed the villainy
"
that he had conceived. The Offices
are hung in black for Chandler be-
cause he was Secretary Of the Int
rior-a cabinet oiiicer-under Grant.
But if any future administration
Grapes these Offices on the occasion Of
the death of Messrs. Hayes, Schun,
Sherman, or Everts it will stultify
itself, for he is not president and
they are cabinet officers only in the
accomplice sense.
Mr.. Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury by the grace of Zach.
Chandler, Eliza Pinkston and Joseph
Bradley, made a speech in New York
which was the more discreditable
from the fact that he is a public OIL
Ger of the administration, and bound
from his very position to know the
untruthfulness of Misrepresentation
AT time when the crop which is
peculiarly associated with negro Ia
Dor is annually on the increase, be-
You'd the production of the palmiest
days of slavery, the Secretary of the
Treasury dares to say that "whole
communities at the South are decay
ing in all the elements that would
tend to make them prosperous, and
happy, and that controlling minor
ity has reduced the negroes of the
South to a condition little better
than slavery" This language might
have passed in the day when out
RACES were manufactured for political
purposes, but it is mendacious and
ridiculous now. Mr.. Sherman as
serts that "no Republican speech,
pointing out the errors and wrongs Of
the laws devised by the ruling
classes, could be made in the South
ern States without danger of life and
liberty" This, to put it mild, is not
true, but it is the language of one Of
the great lights of the Republican
party, a popular presidential aspi-
rant, n brother Of the General of the
Army, of co-conspirator who holds
the national purse strings and car
ries much of the sway of stolen
presidency in his pocket.

The Boston Herald says that in the
Judgment Of some Of the shreWdest
politicians in the State, Of both par.
ties, the Democrats would have car.
ried the State this year, and perhaps
last year, if they had been wise
enopgls4 to bold together. Many
things led toward the result. The
natural desire for change, the mis-
takes Of the party which had SO gov.
erned the State, and the growing dis
content under hard times, were grad
ually preparing for an overturn.
Gen. Butler burst in with his sell
fish aims and his personal canvass
and changed the current of events.
The people became alarmed last year
by the communistic element dragged
into the canvass. A minority Of the
Democrats, who refused to be misled
by their old antagonist, enlisted
against him, and the result was that
the Republicans saved the State by
the mistake OF their rivals.

1t is a fact worthy of observation
that wherever silver mines have ev-
er been worked they are worked now,
unless by war or invasion the work
has been stopped. There is no sill.
yer mining region in the world that
has given out. Mexican mines work.
ed by the Aztecs before the conquest
by Cortez are still as profitable as ev-
er. The old Spanish mines, opened
long before Hannibal's time, are still
worked with enormous profits. The
South American mines have con-
stantly yielded their wealth for more
than 300 years, and are as productive
us ever. Mines in Hungary that
were worked by the Romans before
the time of Christ, still yield an
abundance of ore.
