A Solid North VS.. a Solid South.

"a
The recent elections in the great
States Of Ohio and Iowa fully satisfies
Us as to about what is the political sta
tus in tho North at present. 1t is deep
ly to bo deplored, and is extremely un'
favorable to the country. Living, as
we do, under ono government, and hav-
inc a common interest, it is pity that
the two great sections of this country,
which few years sgs were engaged in
in.erniceus war, should be now arrayed
in this manner. We can see but little
remedy for it, and can only look to
time, the great cure for all evils, to heal
and bind up the trouble. The South,
unfortunately, after the bloody strife,
was governed and ruled by a sct of peo-
pie 50 foreign and alien to all her inter-
ests, that the condition of affairs here
was worse than war. Our people bore
it for long time, and not uutil fors
bearance had ceased to be a virtue did
they make any resistance whatever.
As if by divine inspiration, and certain
ly with divine approval, they rose up
and threw off the CALLING yoke. Not by
force of arms, as is charged; not by
sword and FIRE, but with the peaceable
agency Of the ballot. This gave US a
solid delegation in Congress, and placed
eur State affairs in our own hands.
The revelations Of rascality that were
brought to light proved that we were
right, if nothing else did, and was a
full Justification of our position. 1t
verified all that We had said, and was
proof positive to the world that we
were right. In spite Of this, however,
cur Northern brethren have taken a mis-
taken view of things, and they charge
that the power of 1860 is now being
rssuscitated. That we are growing in
defiant strength, and that the present
generation will walk into power with
the full plume of war floating to the
breeze. Perhaps the lenient manner IN
which these criminals have been treated
NAV have had something to do with it.
Of this we are not positive, but it is
deeply to be regretted that such is the
case. Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Conkling and
Sherman have but to hoist their bloody
fac, denounce and misrepresent US, and
they have following. Col. Butler, tc
and zest to it all, must carry on his
"nigger dogs" and the play is complete,
the scenery is lovely for Radical eyes,
and the great demoniactic farce be-
comes reality. Well, so it is. We
cannot bslpit. We must be patient,
and bear the ills We have. Right will
prevail, and as it is our standard, let US
march on without trembling to the final

physician who was present decided that death
had occurred about three hours previous to the
discovery. The face looked tranquil, showing
that death was painless The coroner will hold
an inquest
From a partial examination, DR.. McVicker,
who was Immediately called, is Of the opinion
that death was the result Of sudden congestion OF
the lungs brought about by cold, which was
contracted at Janesville. The Inquest will be
held during the afternoon. The sorrow over the
sad event IS universal and genuine. Flags are at

SECRETARY sHERMAN's CIR

Warrington, Nov. 9.-secretary shermRn's cir.
Cular Of yesterday, asking for proposals for the
purchase OF SlO,0O0,0OO six per cent. bonds for
sinking fund purposes, Is the snbieCt Of much
unfavOIable comment. 1t Is claimed by Treasu.
ry officials that the uncertainty Of the future Of
specie resumption ronders the taklngof $4,000.
900 from the special fund held for that purpose
hazardous. The payments to the sinking fund
are already several years in advance and conse.
quently this action Of the Secretary is without
authority Of law, and the only ones TO be bene.
hted by 1t will be the stock gamblers OF Wall
street. II ls q noticeable fact that Sherman new.
or makes visit TO New York but that soon after
his return he does something to either bull or
bear the stock market, aud there are those un.
charitable enough TO say that whatever he does
always accrues to the interest OF his personal
friends. The purchase OF Sl0,000000 OF bonds
will lend additional aid to the Unprecedented
stock jobbery now In progress at the New York
stock Exchange. Although sherman's proposed
purchase Of bonds was not made public at the
Treasury until three O'Clock yesterday It Is
claimed that certain parties In New York were In
possession Of the information as early as twelve
o'clock. Probably John Sherman can tell how
and where they got the news.

er what old grey y-hesded-of Ais thatT
One of the four men named Parrot got out OF
his wagon and went for Zook with billy In one
hand and knife In the other. Zook warded of
