THE ELECTIONS,

The elections in Ohio and Iowa on
Tuesday last resulted in unexpected re-.
publican majorities. The Ohio repub-
licans elected Charles Foster by 10000,
majority. and chose republican senate
and house. This ensures the defeat of
Thurman for senator at the next sena-
torial election, and will probably shelve
him as a presidential candidate. The
result IS peculiarly gratifying to repub-
licans owing to the fact that the state is
close and in the last elections has gone
against the party. Iowa has resumed
her old place as one of the leading re-.
publican states. Governor Gears ma
jOrity over the democrats and greenback-
ers is about 10000. This election ought
to be the death blow to greenbackism.
and it will show the country that the
north is not yet willing to have the
affairs of the country governed by the
rebel brIgadiers and their sycophantic
allies of the north. This is triumph
of honest money and patriotism over
other elements.

THE VICTORY In OHIO.

The grand chorus of rejoicing which
goes up to-day from loyal hearts through
out the country. because of the splendid
victory in Ohio, takes us back to 1861
Then. too, the country had been in dan
ger, and its fate turned upon the COM
mon sense, the honesty and the patriotism
of millions of voters who had, not long
before, showed something of faint-heart-
edness because of the heavy burdens of
the war. and some strong prejudices in
regard to emancipation. But the brave
appeal to the manliness and intelligence
of the people prevailed, and the over
whelming victory which followed Writ
ually gave the death blow to the re-
bellion. So this year the appeal was
made to voters who elected what may
without much stretch be called the Con-
federate Congress one year ago. Tired
of the burdens which resumption i'm
posed, strongly prejudiced against the
Republican party because of its errors,
and hardly less because of its excellence,
millions of voters tried to get something
else in place of it in 1877 and 1878,
and found to their disgust that the only
other thing to be had was the reaction.
airy, revolutionary, repudiatiug, Confed-
crate Democracy. The Congress then
chosen has done its work. In every re.
spect it has disguised loyal and conserv.
alive men. 1t has threatened the public
credit. 1t has attacked the best banking
system this country has ever seen. Il
has tried to defy and nullify laws of the
United States, and that, too, for The
purpose of opening the door to unlimited
fraud. To this body of voters the ap
peal was made. They were asked. il
substance, "Do you like chance az
sfar as you have tried it q Ohio gives
the answer.
1t is not we'll to attribute the result
wholly to the influence of either of thu
main issues involved. In truth, all thes,

STATE TAXATION.

A correspondent of one of the Boston
papers says that the question of state
taxation is receiving considerable atten-
tion in various parts of this state, and
an effort is being made to show that the
present laws in regard to the Valuation
of real estate may be used to defraud
also. The real estate valuation per cap
tia in this state was $214.54. The eight
large agricultural towns in this state
Milton, Woodstock, Irasburgh, Randolph,
Ncwbury, Cambridge, Concord and Man.
chester-are above the list, as they aver
age on real estate valuation $303.43 per
capita. Some large manufacturing
towns are above the list-such as Spring
field, Brattleboro, Bellows Falls and
Montpelier, which average S277.38 per
capita. From careful examination it
seems that the farming community pays
more than its share of the state taxes
while the cities are way under.
In the last ten years Colchester has
increased her valuation Of real estate
some $4,000, st. Johnsbury about $780,
900, Derby about $4,000, Brattleboro
about $4,000, Rockingham about $685.
900, while Burlington has decreased
some $4,000, Bennington $4,000,
Rutland $246, 900, st. Adams S275, 900,
and Montpelier about $4,000. II
seems also that to be on an average Bur.

AN OBNOXIOUS POSTAL REGU.
LATION.

The postal authorities in Washington
made a rule recently that letters should
be delivered only when addressed in the
exact name of the postoffice for which
they were intended; and that matter
otherwise directed, even though the pos
tai clerks were morally certain of its
destination. should be sent to the Dead
Letter Office. For instance. a letter d.
rected Saratoga, N. w." instead of
Saratoga Springs, N. "" goes to
Washington. A letter directed to "Box
20l2, Boston," cannot be delivered if it
has not the name of the state, '.Mass. !"
upon it. "Boston Highlands" will not
do; it must be "Roxbury, Mass" "Old
Cambridge, Mass" is not proper; it
must be Cambridge, Mass" Read
vile, Mass" is eontraband it should
be "Readville Station, Mass City
will not do for local letters; the exact
name of the postofice must be the adj
dress in all cases, even when mailed at
the main office itself. New York City,
is placed in the prohibited list. the prop.
er address being, according to the order,
"New York. N. y" simply, and the
state must be designated. The effect Of
such an arrangement may be readily i'm
agined. In Boston alone, under the new
rule. the average number of letters sent
to the Dead Letter Office per week has
increased in one week from 20 to $500
and such wholesale delaying of letters
cannot fail to cause great Inconvenience
loss and positive suffering.-Boston
Journal.

In few remarks following Mr.. Conk-
ling Rev. Mr.. Beecher said: 1--WE do
not wish it understood by this meeting.
or any other assemblage in the Northern
States, that we wish to deprive the
South of any local rights that she pos
sesses. but simply that in the admins
tration of this government she is not pre-
pared to take the lead. She has not vet
been raised in school that would quail
ify her for such a work. When the
South has raised another generation
then it will be safe to trust young
Southern gentleman with the admins
tration Of the affairs of this nation.
You cannot have an administration in a
free government without parties.
Whenever you will find a locomotive
that will run by itself or by the passen-
gers then you can run parties without
an organization. 1t is not wise for any
one to bolt party because he does not
like everything that is done. The
party is not exactly everything We could
desire, but it is human.
