THE ELECTION.

The 60-4 proposition is voted down
by an estimated majority variously
ranging from fifteen to twenty-five
thousand votes. Middle and West
Tennessee went against it while the
East gave it but small majority. The
vote was One-third short Of the aver
age general vote usual in the State.
While we heartily supported the COM
promise, believing its adoption to be
best for the State, yet, now that it has
been defeated, we hope the result will
conduce to the largest public good.
In our support of the measure we
knew that we confronted Il formidable
opposition among the people but on
this public question as well as on all
others of similar character, we did
and will always conscientiously take
om stand in support Of what we con
ceive to be right and leave others to
exercise the'same privilege of free citi
zenship. And now that the struggle
is over let us as people, who are copart-
ners in the veal or woe reserved for
the future Of the commonwealth, stand
shoulder to shoulder, determined to
cling close to the State amid whatever
perils threaten her progress.

Z nhappy Marriages.

The truth is that these too frequent
unhappy marriages are the offspring
of ignorance quite as much as Of actu-
al sin or wrong. Fools, and especially
vicious fools, have no right to get pos
session of an honest woman's life and
soul which they can not comprehend,
and the elevatin@ influence Of which
they throw away even more by stupid
ity than byWilltulness. A woman, by
her sex and character, has claim to
many things besides shelter, food and
clothing. She is not less a woman for
being wedded and the man who is
fit to be trusted with a good wife rec
ollects all which this implies, ,and shows
himself perpetually chivalrous, sweet
spoken, considerate and deferential.
The f)ols and brutes who abound
among US may think such demands
hard but they are not nearly as bad
as to live the cat-and-dog life, missing
the dearest possibilities Of human inter
course.
What right has a man to expect
happiness in Il household who brings
no sunshine into it? What right has
he to look for the graces and retinements
Of early love when he violates them by
rough speech, iil-manners, and the
disregard Of those little things upon
which the self-respect Of wife is built
and maintained? The cynic who rails
at marriage Is generally one of the same
with the thoughtless egotist who files
into the presence of his wife careless,
stubborn and sour-tempered, though
he never went to his mistress except on
his best ehavior. The fate is horrible
which poor and faithful girl may en-
dure by encounter.ng in him whom
she weds not mere actual cruelty or
/ injury, but stupid incompetence to
understand a woman's needs, dull, for
getfulness of the daily graces Of life
and oblivious # the fact that while men
have the world women have only the
home. These grossnesses of masculine
ingratitude no not, indeed, often lead
to visible catastrophe nor grow into
absolute tyranny, but they equally
tend that way. They drag down q
wife's soul to the point where she must
despair; they change the sublime
meaning Of marriage to vulgarity and
WEAKNESS they spoil the chance OF
that best and finest of all education
which each man obtains who wins a
reasonably good woman for his com
panion, and they cost more to a million
households than money or repentance
can ever pay back.-YOnkers States,
man.

couple OF satellites, armed with sharp
switches. They argued the matter with her
lGdyship-so much so that when her lord
reappeared she brought him slippers and
sat at his feet.
Many Of the marriages made in such haste
last winter were a source of serious evil
to the men involved. Very few Of the en-
ployes had received any pay for upward OF
year, and were in a state of great want,
and to give them several extra mouths TO
feed was not quite a reasonable method OF
alleviating their misery. One of the latest
marriages was that of one of the younger
sons Of the Khedive, Mahmoud Bey, to his
cousin. The Princess had something near
100000 a year, but was twenty-four years of
age. Mahmound was only sixteen. His
elder brother, Ibrahim Pasha, was married
to a younger sister, aged twenty-about his
own age. This marriage was by proxy, the
Prince being in Europe. Mahmoud com
planned bitterly of being married to such an
old woman, the more so as he IS very jealous
of his brother, who has always been the ia
vorite son of their father.

OUR YOUNG MEN.

How is it that the bone and sinew
of our country, those who in a short
time must march to the front with the
banners of religion and commerce, are
so carelessless Of the future? Are the
precious days Of youth TO be wasted in
the enjoyment of those hurtful evils
that allure them on to destruction
Must the delicate tissues that took so
long to weave about them be turned by
the drift wood of society? Are the
honored names their fathers bore un-
blemished so many years to be sacri-
feed? Must dishonor roll back all
those virtues that tend to elevate?
Many of our young men have paid
great prices for their experiences thus
far in life; but still they rush thought
lessly onward, charmed by the excit-
ing life they lead and crazed by the
cups of sweetened poison held out to
them. How they hang over the rail
ing of dispair and weep bitter tears as
the light of the past reveals to them
the many evils that have been so hurt
tul to them. They can see the result.
The balance sheet of the past, and
written on it in glittering letters is
failure
Are the muscle of the rising genera
ton to be developed by the billiard cue?
Is their future prosperity to depend
on their smartness at the card table, or
luck at the pools? Shall those intel
Iigent, good hearted, amiable youths,
who, in a short time with sound judg-
ment and determination, could elevate
our country to a higher score of NOR
ality, be wrecked as they step into
the arena of life and are lost forever
in the swift currents of dissipation ?
= Walk through our streets, you can see
The marks of dissipation clearly writ
ten upon the faces of alas too many Of
our young men.
They know not the changes that
will take place in n short time Could
they but throw back the window of
the present and peer into the future !
They would see darkness brooding
evil to them and through the murky
mist they could see consumption with
its waxen fingers vending its way
towards them. They could see the
blade of drunken friend that would
drink their hearts blood. They could
see a shackeled convict sadly solilo-
quising over the failure of his life.
They might see in the distance a gal
lows.
How the joyous youth would shud-
der if he could only see the result of
his folly.
TO evade the reality of those dis
tressing views the young men m ust
determine not to put their blood upon

fessional and commercial elements
vearn to have them come and elevate
themselves, and those in whom they
come in contact with when such in
centives as these are held out to them,
why should they turn away and walk
in their own shadows.
There must be a change. We can
not afford to lose our young men.

the other members OF his interesting family.
1t Is generally supposed that the number Of

THE CINCINNATI ELECTIoH.-We are per-
fectly satisfied with the result in Cincinnati
if the Republicans are. 1t proves that
Hamilton county is reliably Democratic.
Casting the same vote that Was polled on
Monday, the Democrats would secure the
entire delegation to the Legislature, which
is chosen on a general ticket. Whenever
tue Hamilton county delegation is Demo
cratic the Legislature is Democratic. That
would secare 4 Democratic senator as a
successor to Judge Thurman. The same
vote cast last fall for Sayier would have
given him 700 majority over his Republican
competitor. 1t was a gain over last fall OF
$500 votes, and a gain over the preceding
municipal election OF over 1,400. 1t was
1000 votes more than were given to Gov
ernor Bishop in 1877. 1t was larger vote
than was ever before given TO Democratic
candidate for mayor. Had the Republicans
cast in 1876 no more votes than on Monday
for Jacob, the State would have gone for
the Democrats in October, and for Tilden
as against Hayes Washington Post. -.
