taken prs;eworthy interes. IN all things
pertaining to the advancement of our whole
country. He has boldly proclaimed for an
economic administration of all the depart
ments, and used his utmost endeavors 10 pre-
vent any unnecessary expenditure anywhere
or for anything. He has stood up for his
party in every emergency, and conducted
go ominently proper under all cir

a complete railway, takes very great pleasure
in announcing Hon. Olin Wellborn, of Dial.

man in the right place.

ready to intrust the control of the
government to those who sought its
destruction, nor the protection of
equal rights to those who have al
ways scorned them. 1t shows that
when a country is at peace at home
and abroad, when labor is every
where proftably employed and liber-
ally paid, when industry and enter
prise are universally active, and
when the administration of tn. gov
ernment is able, honest, economical,
and pure beyond reproach, the intel
ligence of the country does not desire
a change which involves neither the
promise nor the chance of improve
ment.
No man who recalls the fierce con-
test of the rebellion, who has read
history intelligentIy. and who has
watched closely the situation OF this
country since the war, but must feel
his heart swelling with exultation at
every sign of national fidelity to the
great principles which conquered in
the struggle, and at the evident pop.
ular determination to go steadily
forward, and not backward. The
result of the elections in Ohio and
Indiana is verdict of honor to the
administration, of renewed conf
dence in party which is swayed by
its better impulses, and of scorn the
for wretched ISLANDERS of General Gar
field. which have been the material
of the campaign against him. The
unquestionable majority of the peo-
pie of the United States hold un-

Ohio and Indiana.

Last week we pointed out that as
Indiana had long been a Democratic
State, it was only fair to expect DEM
Ocratlc success in the State election,
but that a reduction in the Demo-
cratic majority would show change
most promising for the Republicans,
while actual Republican success
would indicate almost unmistakabIy
the election of General Garfield. The
actual result is amazing and insDir.
ing. The Republicans have carried
Ohio by the largest majority since
1872. probably more than 10000, while
in Indiana, which has been steadily
Democratic, the Republican victory
is complete, and secures a United
States Senator.
This is a most significant fact. 1t
is another evidence of the general
good sense which is the assumption
of popular government. 1t shows
that the people of this country, who
paid so vast and precious price for
tho preservation OF the lui0n, and
for the m4inlenanco Ol aquaI rights
as It's perpetual corner stoue, are not

The Tune Changed.

Democratic Love Feasts" were
in vogue only few We eks ago, and
the tune they sang was Of a gleeful
character.
Funeral wakes have taken the place
of .love-feasts, and of course they
must change their hymns and tunes
to suit the altered condition of things.
For an opening anthem we would
suggest
"Hark from the tombs n doleful sound"
This one would also be suitable
"Behold the Western evening light,
1t melts in deepening gloom"
After a short season of silent med
itation upon the mutations of time
and the uncertainty ofall Democratic
calculations, the words of Rev. VIM.
Henry Hurlburt, a Unitarian minis
ter of Boston, who went to Indiana
to help the Democrats to win the
victory, might be little conseling.
1t was written many years age when
he must have foreseen this very hour
in a vision:
With weary hearts we ask
Some rest in which our souls may cease
From life's perplexing task.
We weep-yet none is found;
We weep-yet hopes grow faint,
And deeper in its mournful sound
Goes up our wild complaint.
We haven't a doubt that is just the
way the Democrats feel. The chast-
ening rod has fallen heavily ard rap
idly upon their barred backs, and it
must be grieyous. But it will do
you good.
Here is another. by the same au-
thor, might be squandered on DEM
ocrats with some profit.
We will not faint; if heavy burdens bind us,
They press no harder than our souls can
bear,
The thorniest way is lying still behind us,
We shall be Drawer for the past despair.
True, the Patent Democrats can
stand heap. They survived the
Mcclellan rOut and swallowed the
Greeley crow without killing them
quite dead. But flesh and blood
can't stand everything.
The "solid South" and the 800
puke seem to sour in their stomachs,
and this may be the death of the old
bunker. And so, perhaps, there is a
better hymn for their case than any
of the above. Try bar or two of this:
My thoughts on awful subjects roll,
Damnation on the dead.
Desert your evil ways, throw down
the weapons of your rebellion, and
there may be some escape for you
from eternal destruction. 1t is a
desperate case, however, and we
can't hold out much encouragement.
We tremble for the future of Bour-
hon Democracy. .--Hagerstoo0n odd.

The remarkable Republican victory
in Indiana will go farther toward
restoring the control of the United
States Senate to the party than even
the enthusiasts had anticipated.
There are twenty eve senators whose
terms will expire on March 4. 1881,
and OF these eleven are Republicans
and fourteen are Democrats. The
Republicans are Both, of California
Hamlin, of Maine; Davis, of Mas
sachusetts; Baldwin. of Michigan
Mcmillan, of Minnesota Bruce, Of
Mississippi; Paddock, of Nebraska ;
Burnside, of Rhode Island Hoar, of
Massachusetts; Edmunds, of Vor-
mont, and Angus Cameron, of Wis
c0nsin. The Democrats are Eaton,
of Connecticut; Jones, of Florida;
Mcdonald. of Indiana Bayard, of
Delaware Whyte, of Maryland
Cockrell. of Missouri Randolph, of
New Jersey ; Herman, of New York
Thurman, of Ohio; Wallace, Of
Pennsylvania Bayley, of Tennessee
Maxey, of Texas Withers, of Vir-
ginia, and Hereford, of West Virgin
ia. A Republican successor to Mr..
Thurman has already been elected in
the person of General Garfield, but
AS he will be called to the higher
duties of the presidency, some one
else will haye to be chosen for the
senatorship. The other Democrats
who will give way to Republicans are
Messrs. Herman, Wallace, Eaton,
Randolph and Mcdonald. This
would represent Republican gain of
six; but Democratic bulldezing and
fraud in Mississippi will give Mr..
Bruce's seat to Democrat, so that
the certain gain will be only five.
CountingiJudge Davis as Democrat,
as he has recently dropped on that
side of the fence, the Senate now
stands 43 to 33 in favor of the Demo-
Gratis but the indicated change will
bring it exactly 38 to 3S. and place
the deciding vote in the hands of
Vice President Arthur. Yet there
are still other contingencies to con-
slider that might possibly create
Republican majority. AS the bearing
Of Judge Davis adipose tissue is
usually toward the winning side, it
would not ba dazzling surprise if
he resolved himself over to Repub-
licanism once more and nobody
seems to know what will be the course
of General Malone, who succeeds
Mr.. Withers. There are Just those
two chances Of reversing the control
of the Senate but the outlook with
regard to the House of Representa-.
tiyes is still more hopeful. TIE Re.
publicans have already gained six
members in Ohio, two in Indiana
and one IN Oregon. II the Democrats
do not make large gains, the Re-
publicanS will need but ona more to
secure the House and they can safely
rely on picking up half dozen from
Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Virginia. 1t would

JOSEPH SOLD INTO EGYPT.


1t is eleven years since Jacob returned to
the land of Canaan with his family. His So
journ near Sechem is marked by the ancient
we'll, which still remains a memorial, not
only of Jacob, but of his greater Son. John
4. 6. From thence he removes to Bethel,
with its fragrant recollections. There the
covenant is formally renewed and the fami-
ly of Israel become the consecrated followers
of God. Still southward moves the encamp-
ment, passing the sacred heights OF Moriah,
and pausing by the.wayside at Bethlehem to
drop the tears and build the pillar over the
new-made grave OF Rachel. At last his tents
are pitched upon the familiar hillside of He
bron, near the cave which covers the dust of
Abraham, and where beside him the venera-
BILE form of Isaac soon shall rest. His vast
flocks, watched by his ten sturdy sons, roam
over the plains of fcentral Canaan. The two
children of his departed Rachel are by his
side, Joseph, a gentle, noble youth, already
showing the token of integrity and capaei-
ty, and Benjamin. little child, playing
around the tent. Suddenly new sorrow
crushes his already broS en- heart. His sons
bring home mantle of many colors torn
and blood stained, telling to Jacob its own
tale of Joseph's death by some wild beast.
Yet afar under the shadow of the Egyptian
palaces walks his son, living, but wearing
the dress OF a slave.
