From the Globe we take the follow
ING account of a boating accident OH
Carlisle Bay.
"In our paper of the 1st instant, we
noticed "an Adventure in the Ami
NAL Flower Cave" on the 30th ultimo,
in which three Of the Assistant-Mas-
ters at Harrison College, along with
the Inspector of Schools were at II
time placed in imminent danger.
From the West Indian of 10th inst,
we take the following, in which it will
be seen that the Professor of German
and tho Professor of Chemistry, of
the Same College, were not most ia
vorabIy situated whilst engaged in a
boating excursion in Carlisle Bay on
the 18th instant =
"On Saturday evening an accident
occurred by the upsettmg OF a boat
lust outside of Carlisle Bay, which
placed the lives of two of the Pro
fesaors of Harrison College in great
jeopardy. They were Herr Ludlow,
Professor Of Germany, and MIR. Har-
rison, Professor of Chemistry, who
went out in a small sailing boat be-
longing to the former, about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon on an excursion
across the Bay, there being no one
else in the boat with them. Nothing
amiss occurred till they had got a
rood distance from Needham's Point,
outside the Bay, when the boat was
capsized by n sudden gust of wind.
They endeavoured to right the boat.
buo could not succeed in doing SO,
and determined to leave her and swim
for the shore. With some difficulty
d~isentangling themselves from the
ropes and tackling, and stripping off
their coats and boots, they set off to
endeavour to reach the shore. Almost
Immediately from the start they miss
ed sight of each other, and Herr Lud-
low seeing neither his companion nor
the boat, there was nothing left for
him but to do his best to get to the
shore. This he was happily enabled
to do after a severe struggle, and got
upon the reef off the point, where ne
was discovered by the Waterman at
the Lighthouse, who came to his aid,
took him home, supplied him with
clothes, and thus accoutred he pro-

been heard of his companion. AS
there were no tidings of him the other
gentlemen at the College lost no time
in getting boats to go in search OF HIM
and were fortunate enough to lind

had drifted somewhat inwards to the
shore, and rescued him after 3 hours

of the health of the island:

The Colonial Office received on Tuesday.
9th Nov. q very ominous telegram from the
Cape. The ''of6cer administering the Gov.
ernmentn writes, on November 3rd, that the
OPPOSITION has not improved" since the last
despatch. Brigadier Clarke did not sue

Mafeteng, but was compelled to retire into
that place, with q loss of eight killed or
missing and eight wounded. The Basuto
loss was ::"unknOwn," the colonial forces
having, in plain English, been compelled
to retire precipitately. Various chiefs are
mentioned who are still faithful, or doubt
full, but when the Cape Government
acknowledges defeat. and it's own appre-
tensions as to the position, the situation
may be accep'ed as serious. Reinforce
ments are being urged forward and the
farmers called out. but the coloniSts are
evidently Overstrained. and a serious defeat

The Government have been compelled, it
is admitted in the telegram, to rearm the
Fingoes,-that is, to arm black men in
order TO kill other black men for ~resenting

for troops ; but it is clear that the condi-
ton of success for the Bartle Frere policy
is victory, which is not being achieved.

Nihiiists numbered very few persons, at

who assassinated Prince KrapOlkine, the
Governor of Kharkoff, and when arrested

factor i'll Russian politics and finance, and
seems to have been intensified by the dis

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
ADDRESS By THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE

NEW YORK, Nov. Z. The following
has been issued by the Republican
National Committee:
New YORK, Nov s.
The Republican National Committee
presents to the country a resume of the
sweeping victory won by our party
Tuesday, November 2, which has been
so cheerfully accepted by all thought
full aud patriotic men and by the great
business and commercial interests of
the nation. Garfield and Arthur have
received 2l3 Electoral votes and will be
inaugurated President and Vice Presi-
dent March 4, 1881. The actual result
in New Jersey, California and Nevada,
is so close that it cannot be ascertained
until official count is made, but we
have reason to believe that at least one
and perhaps two of those States have
given their Electoral votes for our can
didates. The popular majority for Gar
field and Arthur will not fall short of
$4,000 in the Northern States. The
majority of Gen. Hancock in the North
ern States will hardly reach 1900.
If the Republicans in the South had
been permitted to vote as they wished
to, and have had "their votes counted
as they were cast" at least six of those
States would have recorded maiorities
ranging from 5000 to 10000 for their
| ticket.
The majorities therefore claimed by
our adversaries in most of the Southern
States we regard unworthy of consider
alton. We have carried the Legisla-
ture of every Northern State except
Nevada, where a straight-out Demo-
GRAFT will be elected 10 succeed Mr.
Sharon.
After the fourth of March next the
United States Senate will stand 81 Re-
publicans, 81 Democrats and two indie
pendents. Two of the Southern States
given to the Democrats in the abov We
estimates are yet to elect Senators,
and it is not unlikely that we shall Sc
cure one of them. In the Lower House
of Congress we have not less than fif-
teen majority, and no officers of the
present Congress can reduce or imperil
this majority except by u revolutionary
act. Garfield and Arthur have been
elected by unparalleled popular ma
JontieS in that portion of the country
where the right OF every citizen is rec
ognized to vote as lie pleased and have
his ballot honestly counted. This re-
suit in in Intelligent IA free Nor6n is
q chaste and loud answer to the indie
cent manner i'll which our adversaries
have waged the whole of their cam
paign. The Republicans may be as
sured that no afCerthouglt OF two or
three mortified and desperate leaders
of the minority, writing under their
party cenSure, will be allowed to tribe
with this mighty verdict OF, prevent the
organization of the Governnenton the
appointed day by resolUte men chosen
to administer it.

THINK OF THIS.

At our county fair Mr.. A. Goodrich
showed a herd of native and grade cat
tie, fourteen head. lie had three at
home and had sold three others of the
same family. Six years ago last July
he bought the COW and in this time she
has multiplied up 10 this number,
twenty head in all. There was only
one pair of twins, and they were this
summers calves.
This was $. pendid in rease. All the
younger are from one-half to three
70 lrths blood. Now supposing these
twenty head of cattle were worth,
young and old, on an average of $25
per head, this would be $500 just for
the stock alone, but remember some of
these are good milch COWS and have
supplied milk and butter enough to
pay doubtless for the cost of keeping
the whole. This is making the aver
age for all the year about fifty per cent
compound interest on the investment
for the six years. Still sit don't pay to
farm in Iowa."
Think what the increase would be in
the next six years.
Another point. Suppose Mr.. Good.
rich had traded his steer calves away
for heiiers, what would be the increase
for the twelve years?
Another point still and a most i'm.
portant one. Suppose Mr.. Goodrich
had started with good thoroughbre
COW, and had bred her and her calves
to a good bull all these years. What
would have been the difference in the
value of the herd with the one he now
has ?
We have set the value of the present
twenty head at 500, $35 per head.
Had these been blooded cattle, they
would TO day have been worth $4,000,
500 per head. Here is difference of
$1,000 in six years breeding, with just
the same care, same feed same time and
a mighty sight Of difference in satisa.-
ton. Here, then, must come in the
question, can anybody afford to breed
common cattle ?
Here is an actual loss to this man of
$500 in six years, a loss of $3.50 ca III
year by not commencing right.

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER.
CFrom our special correspondent


EDITOR HERALD The Legislature
are now in the midst OF Legislation.
The Compiled Statutes, having Ii
cen5e laws, dog laws, fish laws, and
last but not least, the grand list ques-
ton engroses the time and attention
of nearly all.
There is however to be an election
of judges, &c, this week and there is
much talk for and against Judge Bar
rets. 1t is said by many that the OPP
position against him arises from the
fact that he keeps the lawyers before
him in trial of cases too close to their
business and does not allow them to
abuse witnesses or each other. While
the lawyers are against him perhaps
the witnesses will prefer him and
vote in his favor. There has been
rum Jrs that Judge Ross would de
cline reelection but such we are glad
TO l2arn is not the case. Reduction
Of State expenses is the order Of the
day, but some of them are decidedly
penny wise and pound foolish policy.
Next Tuesday the Republicans of
this place are to have a torchlight
celebration and general Publication
in honor of Garfield and Arthur.
The Sundays storm was very Sc
we're here, almost a tornado, yet as

The two blemishes on General Gar6eld's
 career-the Credit Mobilier scandal and the l De Golyer scandal-will of course be much 1 talked about and written about from now un- 1 til after the election. It is well known that the Democrats require unearthly purity and l goodness in Republican candidate, and that 1 they would see dirt on Republican angels
 wings. We may therefore expect to see the
 errors of> General Garfield much magnifed
 and made great deal blacker than they real 1 1y are Perhaps the simple recital Of the l facts is the best way to meet the vague and exaggerated accusations against our candi- date that have been and will continue to be made With the facts before them the voters l can judge whether General Garfield falls so
 far below the standard of morality they set l up and maintain for themselves and others as to be unfit to receive their votes.
 l His name was on Oakes Ames' paper as one to whom stock in the Credit Mobiier had been distributed shares. Headid not pay for it, but Oakes Ames kept the divi-
 dends till they paid for the stock, and then paid Garfield $329 by a check on the ser
 geant-at-arms Whether he ever said any 1 thing to Garfield till the stock had paid for itself is not known, nor does it appear that he ever paid anything more to Garfield than the sum above named or delivered the stock at all Garfield authorized the statement 1 that he ''never subscribed for share of the stock and that he never received or saw share of it." which was probably strict lv true, even though he received the divi- dend The De Golyer matter is as follows : De Golyer the proprietor of patent wood pavement which he wanted to lay by contract in Washington in the era of Boss
 Shepherds ring rule. General Garfield was chairman of the Committee on Appropria- tions in the House, through which the money
 must be secured for this purpose. A lobby
 ist or agent named Chittenden took the de- scription of the model to Garfield for exami- nation and approval and offered to share his own fee with him. He claims to have subse- quently deposited considerable sum (sup- posed to be $5,OO0) to Garfeld's credit in the bank. Chittenden made this arrangement by
 his own confession to secure Garfield, and
 in fact got his approval of the patent and
 his favorable report on the appropriations asked for by Shepherd.
 This is all there is to the charges made against our candidate. His career has been
 otherwise one of singular purity. As the
 Springfield Republican says: ''It is not a
 succession of jobberies, and it will be diff
 cult to persuade men who know him, even
 those of opposite politics, that he was really
 corrupted. That he was smirched testifies to
 the temptations which beset the Republican
 leaders during the worst era of Grantism, -
 an era happily never to return, at least under
 the same influence"
