The Democracy ofI.ewis. C'ilntcr
and Calhoun counties may veil
congratulate themselves on the
splendid victory they won on the
I'd inst. They hays heretofore
saved our party from defeat, and
.row in one Of the most trying
ortleals we have ever passed
through in this District, have
scratched our standard-bcarer
for Congress from tic corruption
and money-power used BY the Re-
publicans to overthrow him, and
elected their candidate. Tie
above named three counties, not
withstanding they have never had
i candidate for National or State
4 honors, haze never faltered in their
devotion TO Democratic principles.
1fothcr counties in The district had
done as they did, our Congressman
would have had his usual majority.
But Colonel Wilson is elected, car.
.ying Ar, Basel, The Greenback
candidate, on lis back; the Green
back Democrats voting for Bassell,
wl.iIe the Republican Grcenbackcrs
voted for Hutchinson.
General Hancock, our gallant
standard-bearer for President, has
been stricken down; but in Ills
eycrtl1rowhe has the consolation Of
knowing that the brave people
whom he helped TO overthrow stood
by him and gave him such a popu-
lar majority as 10 exceed thc!popu-
lar vote of General Garfield. But
for the desperate efforts Of Grant
Conkling, Cameron Il Co., q short
time before The election, in New
York, that State would have gons
for Hancock; and but for the
Grecnback vote in Indiana being
given to Weaver "a large majority
Of nhom were Democrats) it would
also have gone for Hancock, which
with tie States that.votcd for him
he would have had n large majorit!
Of the electoral votes.
Taking the election altogether
there has been none such since tn,
foundation ofthc Republic. In its
early history. and down 10 1860

We have no doubt that the Repub
licuns expended in the late Presi
dental election not less thar
100000. They have 110,00'
oflice-holders quartered on th'

ing at least two hundred and fit,
millions Of dollars annually, VIII
are required by their chiefs in oftic'

These large contributions, backet

here presented for their considera

L is announced thstthe great riv.
ers that flow like arteries through
this contincntsto The Gull, bearing
upon their bosams the rich argo-
sizes of an industrious people, being
in one country and end in another.
That was The commanding argu-
ment of the canvass, and that is
the Interpretation to be placed upon
the verdict. This, therefore, is not
the triumph in which the patriotic
American finds cause for exulta,
ton. There is in the victory no
flavor of fraternity, no gentle be-
lief that this country is to be one
in history, in interest, in geogra-
ply, in beauty. The Republican
party in conducting this campaign
and this election have done all that
they could do to destroy this sen
timent Of Union, l5..5
We do not say that The result
is without Democratic fault. 1t is
needless now TO enumerate the
causes Of the result; There were
some ambitions in Indiana which
insisted that Indiana should be
made an octobe. State by the de;
cision ofthe Supreme Court Of
that State, in order to, force an In
diana nomination atthe Cincinnati
Convention; and if Indiana had
not been an October State, we firm;
lybelieve that the result would have
been different. We take also some
malicious satisfaction in saying tc
some Of our Democratic friends
who surrendered the Presidency
four years ago that Presidencies o.
the United States are not SO easily
won that they should be readily
surrendered when won. Foul
years ago twas nat the rights o
one man but the right Of a grea,
party, the rights Of suffrage in this
country that were at stake. tn,
Democratic behavior four years age
was spiritless, cowardly, and thesf
qualities are not winning, and tht
effects Of that surrender were fell
yesterday The strange disposition
to!applaud a victorious wrong j.
secn=in the suilrages given yester.
day to5the party that elected Iayci
President and Nichols Governor 0
Louisiana BY the same vote.
But the triumph Of yesterday is
not permanent. The Democratic
principle, the idea which s.underlie:
our system of government, is as
| lasting as the continent on which
that Government dwolls. TIL,
Democratic party, old MS the cen
fury, can survive the defeats Of {
quarter of the century. II ha:
Sounded forth the trumpet thai

Republic lives it will live. If tht
country seems now at the feet Of {
spirit Of Capitalization, Of central
lied power that does not differ
from the Empire, it is in spite O.
Democratic protest; and the Dem
ocratic party, Notwithstanding this
temporary reverse, will falter moi
from its lofty. spirit; will fail mo-
in its final purposes; will continue
its splendid march in tho cause o

Poisonous COlors upon Christmas Cards.

A TRADE which has of late years
sprung up and assumed enormous di-
mansions, is that of Christmas cards
and Illuminated almanacs. The results
to the purchaser are extremely beauti-
full, and one can scarcely believe that in
such innocent presents a serious danger
turks, arising from the free use of bronx
ing and emerald-green powders, which
the makers of these things are obliged
to handle and breathe, whether they
like it or not. Factory inspectors are
careful to call the attention of the mas
tiers to the risks run by their employees,
and in general the precautions taken are
ample, though every now and then
some painful fact comes to light which
shows either that they have been neg
lected, or that they were too feeble to
stem the mischief. Such fact was de-
tailed in the last Factory Report, in the
case of girl aged sixteen, who had been
employed in a factory for making il
Illuminated tin-plate boxes, her especial
occupation being to dust the colors up
on them. The poor girl fell i'll and died
with all the symptoms of color-dust
poisoning, and the analyst who gave
evidence at the inquest proved that the
enamels on the boxes were composed
of carbonate of lead, sulphate of mer-
curry, and others which, though not pos
itively poisonous, were any thing but
wholesome to inhale.

to show him what the only statement was he
had ever made to me-"
But, in the face of this declaration
that he knew i'm 1868 of the enormous
profits to be made out of Credit-Mobil-
Ter stock, Mr.. Garfield elsewhere claims
that he did not know anything of the
character of the stock or the nature of
the profits to be forthcoming until
warned by Judge Black, a year or two
later. that the transaction was suspi-
cious!
Leave entirely out of sight Cakes
Ames' sworn testimony, which the Po-
land Committee believed and the coun-
try believed, that Mr.. Garfield received
a dividend of 1929 on Credit Mobilier
stock, understanding it to be such a
dividend, and there is still evidence
enough in Gariield's own statements to
convict him of the bride taking and the
perjury.-N Y. Sun.

No Dispute About These Facts.

When about to distribute Credit-Mo-
bilier shares where they would "pro-
duce most good to the men who
dreaded the action of Congress-, Cakes
Ames. who knew his colleagues well,
selected Garfield, of Ohio. as one who
could probably be bribed.
The letter addressed to the American
people by the sons of Cakes Ames natu-
rally denies the intent TO bride. But
Cakes Ames himself. on Washington
birthday, 1868, wrote to Colonel Nc
Comb in regard to the shares distribut-
ed to Garfield and others: 1--WE want
more friends in this Congress, and if n
man will look into the law (and it is
difficult to get them TO do it unless they
have an interest TO do SOY he cannot
help being convinced that we should
not be interfered with" The Messrs.
Ames offer, rs leading argument, to
show tat there was nothing wrong in
the transaction, the fact that no legis-
lation was wanted of Congress ut that
time. Precisely so. AS Cakes Ames'
letter to McComb shows beyond the
possibility of doubt, it was to prevent
legislation that the shares were put
where they would "produce most

meaning of the law by making their
interest identical with the interest of
the company. That is what was done;
and that is what constitutes bribery.
Garfield's share in Credit Mobilier
was not an investment in promising
stock recommended by friend. Gar
field was to pay nothing. He was as
sured that the stock offered him for
nothing would realize 2,400. He adj
mits this, for in his defense, published
not until after the death of Cakes Ames,
he attempts to explain the memoran-
dunn of -, 400 in his own handwriting
in this way:
"Before I left his room the interview after
the investigation had begun he said he had
some memoranda which seemed To Indicate
that the money had of him was on account
of stock; and asked me IL he did not, some
time in 1868. deliver to me n statement To that
effect. told him If he had any account OF
